I didn't know who Jeff Dean is, other than the fact that he is another AI researcher at Google. My work involves low-latency network drivers, not at all the field of AI. Fine, there are AI stars too, but the article could lead about wh

No not really. Just as I probably wouldn't care if Boeing fired one of their plane testers or Rolls Royce for one of their engine testers. It's 1 employee out of 120k. There are probably other ethicists in AI at Google. Also the s

It disturbs me how much of a news story this is. This should be handled internally and not aired in public across several media sites. Why should I care about the dirty laundry of FAANG and some random individual?

Yea, I understand that which is why I keep pihole. My argument though is in the context of Firefox, in which case the benefit of the pihole bit is dubious when you can install ublock origins. Pihole doesn't provide much additional bene

Firefox DoH easily works with DNSCryptProxy. https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Local-DoH You can easily set it up to contact that, but enable some exclusions for specific domains if you wish to

Can this site maybe consider specifying a better contrasting font colour between the text and the background? On my firefox browser both on the desktop and mobile it looks like a rather light grey on white background. That is just plain dif

You don't need any of that to understand how x86 or the OS works. Realistically you can do the entire learning with QEMU/VM and not be restricted by the hardware at all? At some institutions they teach how OS work by students impl

AMD processors already have an ARM trustzone core. I think the official policy is use whatever hardware is suitable for the purposes and sometimes embedded ARM is the correct choice. If they don't support ARM servers, they are done for

I am wondering if this marks the death of Safari on the web tbh. That and most OS X apps. If a user can download and run the Amazon Prime app, why bother supporting Safari? The App version supports detection of VPNs, supports analytics etc.

You make no sense. It's less secure and likely more privacy problems trusting a service with Blokada compared with my own pihole. My own pihole is accessible wherever I want, I know who has the logs for the DNS requests performed by my

Get a raspberry pi and setup pihole with wireguard and dnscrypt-proxy. Get a hostname and basically tunnel your DNS requests to that pihole. Use Firefox and signal instead of say chrome. Disable the assistant and be aware of the privacy con

It's not beyond what the OS provides? Snap is a part of ubuntu? The CLI interface for snap I find is a lot more intuitive than flatpak. Also what rights do you have to become the UX arbiter here?

Yea but now those developers who are stuck on 18.04 (for IT reasons) can actually run/use the latest stable userland applications without having to break from the stability provided by the older OS? How is that bad? I don't want t

The amount of development resources and effort needed to build publish and release the snap is a lot less than the apt. No need to interact with bzr, much easier to update in the snap store compared with repos. Snaps are built against one v

Then fine, run sudo snap revert to go back to a hopefully older stable build/revision. Certainly a better as an option than going back to version 68. Also I don't really care about startups when the difference is on the order of 1

I think it's a combo of Intel failing with 10nm paired with Apple bankrolling TSMC. Apple + TSMC having a deeper pocket than Intel. AMD benefited by TSMC basically already investing in smaller nodes for Apple, combined with new manufac

I can't even access this site because Firefox is complaining about it using a self-signed cert. There are no excuses why this site should be serving an expired (10/04/2019, 18:24:11 (Greenwich Mean Time)) self-signed cert.

Rhel 6 is moving to extended life phase in another month. At that point no bug fixes, security fixes, hardware enablement or root-cause analysis I wouldn't say that is actively maintained or supported.
