It seems like it took engineering work, but TLS isn't their bottleneck when the data flow is structured correctly for the hardware (which is kind of the thesis of a lot of the Netflix CDN node optimization stuff).

Typically the hardware is capable of it, but the drivers aren't.

The flock contract was cancelled. It was then replaced with an axon contract that probably isn't much better. https://www.denver7.com/news/local-news/denver-city-council-...

Isn't driverkit essentially a separate user space stack compared to regular code? I remember seeing the driverkit specific dyld caches in macos root partition images that included their own copies of everything down to libsystem. Get

I mean, one if the big issues I've had is that it doesn't really store the compute graph. It only stores a string of the foundational architecture, along with parameter metadata to allow you to rebuild the compute graph. That mea

Since this is xb360, this is SATA rather than IDE, but in a similar vein I am really looking forward to my PicoIDE to play with adversarial hdd controllers in real systems.

Additionally, those indirect memory instructions ended up disappearing because it complicated virtual memory implementations. It was a pain in the ass to describe the multiple places in memory an instruction could be accessing and which ac

Most of the time the root of trust isn't in the boot rom, but instead OTP fuses that the boot rom reads.

That's probably not going to happen for a very long time. Relatively simple SoCs already do tons of work before the architectural reset vector in undocumented boot ROMs in order to assist the reset process. There's also tons of v

Yeah, it sort of reminds me of the microcode assembly of a few of the lisp machines, that, while in s-expressions were also clearly not lisp themselves. But could be an interesting target for some lisp macros.

As someone who lives near one of the herds, this isn't a factory farming situation. They live pretty good lives on open space with a bit of population management that ends up with meat and hides that help offset the cost of managing t

Because of the film technology at the time, a lot of the skin tones on set wouldn't match what you'd expect anyway due to makeup designed for the b&w film. Lots of sickly greens, yellows, and blues in place of red tones for i

I don't read that as doing it out of charity. A cultural victory is still a victory. China is very much playing to win.

I mean, your kids also just didn't travel much farther than your neighbor's plots for the vast majority of their life. If anything, political marriages are defined by a marriage outside your economic sphere of influence (which for

Medieval serfs typically worked about 150 10 hour days a year. In addition to the winter months there's a lot of gaps where the plants are in the ground, and now just need intermittent maintenance. All of this of course ignores women&#

I don't see how that leads to bitrot, or low maintainability.

The big contract shops have had customer engineering for decades, and still do. When you'd buy a $1M+ machine, the real money is in the support contract, and it doesn't take much for the support contract to come with some dude str

Only if you've actually faulted in 2MB contiguously already.

Except if those threads are actually faulting in all of that memory and making it resident, they'd be doing the same thing, just on the heap, for a classic async coroutine style application.
205.
by monocasa 6mo ago
Only if they're resident. Otherwise you just need one page per thread of physical memory (so ~40MB on x86) and 10GB of virtual memory.

SERV also implements xor bit serially too though.

Very few architectures have a NAT bit though.

by monocasa 6mo ago
Also, because SUB is implemented internally with XOR, so it's normally the same gates, with different signals selecting a different function.

by monocasa 6mo ago
Except ALUs share hardware with logic functions. Internally the adder (which is also used as a subtractor by ones complementing one of the inputs and inverting the initial carry in) uses xor, and you can implement the XOR logic op with the
