What's this obsession with SQLite? For all intents and purposes, what they'd accomplished is effectively a Type 2 table with extra steps. CRDT is totally overkill in this situation. You can implement this in Postgres easily with v

I respect Fly, and it does sound like a nice place to work, but honestly, you're onto something. You would expect ostensibly Public Cloud provider to have a more solid grasp on networking. Instead, we're discovering how they'

I think you should aggregate by app installs, not distinct apps. The apps to make most impact, are most-installed apps. What if my app blows up to a tune of 1.2 mil? I'll be paying 400k Apple tax just because that's why?

"Software is incredibly complex" Who sold you on that lie? Software is anything but complex. Literally guys without any kind of degree could do it. You should try hardware design, validation, with one of them FPGA platforms. Start

One compromise in GrapheneOS is to use Storage Scopes to limit the scope of Google Photos to select folders, or potentially even disable Network permissions for it altogether. I use Google Photos for sharing photos with my partner and famil

Are you well-read enough into the platform so that you can attest to it requiring no manual code optimisation for high-performance datapaths? I'm only familiar with Apple Silicon-specific code in llama.cpp, and not really familiar with

It's solely dependent on the workload's memory access patterns. The higher you go in thread count, the more you're constrained by contention, caches, etc. The paper in OP is demonstrating how relatively subtle differences in

You're right, I looked it up, the hardware limit is actually 800 GB/s for M2 Ultra. You're also right that the actual bandwidth in real workloads is typically lower than that due to the aforementioned idiosyncrasies in caches

It's quite impressive what they were able to achieve with ppc64el in recent years, including Linux support for it, too. Unfortunately, they turned the wrong way with proprietary encryption of memory, which may or may not be deliberate

You're misrepresenting what CPU's do exactly, and opaque term "high-performance workloads" does not help it, either. M-class chips have 256-bit (M4) and 512-bit (M3 Max) memory bus per "socket" options, as high

I reckon that would only serve to play into their hands. There is just enough plausible deniability for conspiracy-theory optics. Moreover, European politicians really hate to be publicly humiliated like that, so it might as well achieve

The unfortunate reality is that a single largest lobbyist for Chat Control in the EU is, ironically, the US, namely the US intel community-affiliated orgs like Thorn, WeProtect, etc. The EU bureaucrats are gullible, and it's no excuse

The productivity is tangential at best to this matter; the discourse around WFH has long devolved into primitive drivel for/against freedom precisely because abstract "freedom" is all that Americans care about. (I don't

It certainly took them a while to introduce MTE! Pixel 8 came out in 2023. I wonder how it compares against hardened_malloc with 48-bit address space and 33-bit ASLR in Graphene. Apple's security team has reported that MIE could break

AlphaZero is oftentimes dragged out to ridicule the so-called "self-play LLM training" techniques, although I don't think these arguments are terribly convincing. You can think of AlphaZero games as effectively synthetic data

On a related note; if you're still considering whether you should put passwords, or rather, hashes thereof—in your application database of choice—please, decide against doing so at all costs! Instead, you should probably use a dedicate

It's a shame that yet another project (bcachefs in Linux kernel) and now guix are getting ostracized out of mismanagement... on whoever's part, although in all honestly, and this is a hot take mind you; guix should either be run o

I wouldn't discount symmetries in chess on the account of algebraic topology existing. Once in a while, new maths is produced in one area, and somebody else would pick it up to apply in a completely different domain. I'm a bit fam

To be fair, if you take your agument from the last paragraph, i.e. that the function of chess as the game is to entertain, your earlier argument re: min-max doesn't really stand, does it? I think, you're right that chess probably

The only bit of Ubiquiti gear I can tolerate is the many years out-of-date EdgeRouter 8 Pro, and only because OpenWrt supports it, and it runs dual-core octeon (2 GB DDR3 which is huge for a router) with decent hardware flow offloading.
