It wouldn't be that much overhead in reality, you can still write the kernel in a mix of C and ASM (or more modern; Rust and ASM). The kernel doesn't even need to know about these isolation mechanisms, since you run stuff in ring

Well, for trusted code that doesn't expose any mechanism to run foreign code (ie browsers), spectre is largely a non-issue. So the trusted core part of the OS can run without any spectre prevention, though you can still enable the vari

Well, with webassembly the process can run under ring0 but still be isolated as if it was running in ring3. The crash mechanism isn't different; if the driver crashes then the kernel can kill it and deallocate it's resources, a de

IPC is a tad slower than not IPC. However, stuff like WebAssembly and other sandboxing methods can be used to leverage two processes into the same address space. Your filesystem driver then simply lives as a module in address space and it&#

Even non-exit nodes can put you in a bad spot (my ISP didn't like it), you'll get blacklisted by quite a few places (because not everyone got the memo that middle nodes != exit nodes)

Some NNs use 16bit floats instead of the normal 32bit floats, because yeah, it's good enough to cover what you need from low quality images for example (you get around 12bit color space, which can be enough for a lot of things)
1299.

Floats on modern PCs are 32bit (you can look that up if you want). Doubles (double precision floats) are 64bit and are seperated from 32bit. There is also half precision float (16bit) since quite a few generations. There is no conversion ha

Maybe because American legislation loves to cripple regulatory bodies?

by zaarn 7y ago
There is no reason why regulatory bodies cannot be up-to-date with the latest developments.

Password Rotation and stagnant security practises are IMO a result of liablity environments, not regulatory environments.

In my experience, liability doesn't make anything secure (see: Health Sector), it just makes people afraid to innovate.

Nobody looks at logs anymore? Strange, those are very useful. Google Analytics isn't the only analytics tool and as blockers have become more prevalent relying on GA as your sole source of truth is becoming increasingly desperate to wo

I don't see much difference in the two approaches, except the later case will require customers to collectively sue you for damages, in which case you can probably run a cost-benefit analysis to find out if it would be worth it. In a r

Tbf the borders of "Europe" are fairly complicated, there is the EU itself, the EEA, the Schengen Area, the Eurozone, EFTA and CEFTA, the EUCU, the EEU, the CISFTA, the OBSEC, the Eastern partnership (or EPA), the OECD Countries,

It wasn't harmful as in it would kill the organization but I believe that a lot of people were turned away from the FSF or even FOSS entirely due to RMS' behaviour.

Ask your bank what the uptime on their mainframe is, with good chance, it'll be higher than anything else you've seen (unless power outage).

by zaarn 7y ago
Don't look into BSD, you gotta look at mainframes. Some of the mainframes at banks have been running since they bought the very first one in the 90s or even 80s. Since stuff like VMS allowed to simply clustering, you could simply add m

I'm not sure if there is any single law that states nothing moves faster than the speed of light. Quantum mechanics limit the spread of information to the speed of light, most wave functions including the fundamental forces propagate a

Two objects can move away from eachother faster than the speed of light as seen by a third observer. The space between objects can also expand faster than light, the object itself can still not move faster than light. If the space between t

Well, those are to some extend exceptions, if a browser has major marketshare, then any change implemented will have to be implemented by others. Google doesn't have to stop implementing them at all, no matter the response from devs.

Oh, don't worry, the government, or atleast the EU, should intervene and force Google to split Chrome into an independent organization.
