Well ideally everyone should gain from this 4-way arrangement: the producer making a transaction they would otherwise not have made, the consumer covering their need efficiently/wasting less time on something/consumer surplus, the

I assume the realtime patches brought some improvements you'll get even without compiling a hard realtime kernel. There's a whole bunch of CONFIG_PREEMPT_* options.

It's not like that box has been firmly closed until now. Every time someone stands to profit from one outcome over another they already have an incentive to influence the outcome, prediction market existing or not. And stock markets al

Designing for low latency (even if only for a few clients) can be worth it though. Each action taking milliseconds vs. each action taking sections will lead to vastly different user experiences and will affect how users use the applicatio

Well, in some ways WFH made offices more soul-sucking because it's a lot of shared desks now. Personal desk, locker, plants, other custom office clutter, a door and so on were nicer.

Java is mostly used for server applications and occasionally for desktop apps (e.g. IntelliJ) these days. Applets aren't relevant anymore since all browsers removed them. Java is memory-safe, multi-threaded and JIT-compiled. Faster tha

Which would require rebuilding all dependents, yeah, that was the second option mentioned. If you're already willing to rebuild-the-world then you could use dynamic libraries today. But you'd only get a shared memory / size b

> Missing support for shared libraries Well, rust does support shared libraries. Call things by their name: what distros want is for all libraries to have a stable ABI. And I guess some sort of segmentation that the source of one library

Configure all machines in a way that they can survive on some random untrusted public wifi. This should be the obvious default stance for laptops and phones. But even for workstations wired to a trusted LAN it still makes sense because you

My understanding as a layperson is that most of those banners are not mandated by law and it's companies choosing this approach rather then picking other options such as not storing PII unless strictly necessary for the interaction w

They're still very bounded systems (not some galaxy brain) and training them is expensive. Learning tradeoffs have to be made. The tradeoffs are just different than in humans. Note that they're still able to interact via natural l

So, hypothetically, a general-intelligence-capable architecture isn't allowed to specialize in a particular task without losing its GI status? I.e. trained radiologists wouldn't be a general intelligence? E.g. their ability to pro

There's some wiggle room, but if you want another OOM of advancement then it appears that you also need to move an OOM up, unless you started out at the upper end of the band. And even then the next one would definitely need more. Of c

I don't think the range matters so much as the floor. The huge blank in the lower-right corner. No such thing as a rich, energy-poor country.

Immutable by default doesn't mean you have to write your program as a giant copy-aon-write or log-structured architecture. You can still commit all your shared global program state behind a mutex/rwlock crimes when that makes sens

I have seen people disabling all cert validation in an application because SSL was simultaneously required and no proper CA was provided for internal things. The net effect was thus that even the traffic going to the internet was no longer

I guess there's non-negligible optimization potential, e.g. by doing hash-based caching. If the same data gets uploaded twice they can have the blob already sitting somewhere closer to the machine.

Requiring people to know everything is a strawman. Raising some basic awareness about risk factors in software systems such as "crypto, authentication, security are hard to get right", is not the same as expecting everyone to be a
