  1. Any good options for wifi/wire gateway (opensource) that can filter and block spying?
  2. If you do any npm install, pip install ..., docker pull ... / docker run ... , etc in linux. It is very easy to get compromise.

    I did docker pull a few times base on some webpost (looks reasonable) and detect app/scripts from inside the docker connect to some .ru sites immediately or a few days later....

  3. The feels like JS -> TS type of change on JS side, except that was done with transpiler (sp ? ).
  4. Would be cool if he adds a session on how to hack distributed system in 1988...
  5. Are there any researches/works/agents into use LLM to auto covert some/all C code to Rust?

    Ask LLM to generate rust code from chat, usb, i2c, GPU drivers - build and test it automatically? Possible?

    Or start with other "smaller" projects such as sqlite, apache, nginx, etc - possible?

  6. Wonder if they manage to disable the UK's Trident Nuclear Submarine this time.

    "Windows for Warship" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_Command_System

    "Want to Nuke someone, please send Bitcoin to unlock the systems."

  7. Part of the reason probably more biz related.

    CEO/CFO of Intel looked at the balance sheet every Quarters and make decision if they should continue to invest in ARM SOC (A few years back before they sold that div to Marvell.)

    x86 has 50% + margin, #1 market position.

    ARM is #4,5, 6 in market position behind TI, Qualcomm, Freescale and lossing $$$ every quarters.

    One need to investment huge amount of $$$ continuously fundamentally at IP for GSM, LTE, Mobile OS Team, SOC team and there were almost zero chance to catch up with #1 #2 players of the time -- Qualcomm, TI, 8-10 years ago.

  8. It looks like this is putting 4 8 cores chips on the same package to scale up the cores counts, etc.

    What are some of the technical limit to if AMD to 2, 4, 8x this approach?

    Only power/heat? IO should not be hard since pins on MCM should be able to scale out easily, right?

  9. "Jack of all trades, master of none" is probably not a good way to increase share holder value.
  10. Sounds more like H-1B is just 21st century legal mean for the company to chain down those employees (like indentured servants of the past).
  11. This also gives interesting overview of SDN, NFV, scale inside google data center.

  12. DOS is a acquired product, for $50k? :-)

    They only finally disable cmd.exe in the latest update.

    .bat files still run.

  13. According on this: http://kyokojap.myweb.hinet.net/gpu_gflops/

    There were multiple factors of improvements in speed in the GPU inside last few generation of Intel CPU.

    Unfortunately, folks who care about GPU performance likely use real graph card in their system.

  14. Just challenge the promoter to rewrite a c++ base program in their new favorite method, paradigm.

    For example, the author of this paper can try to rewrite the google chrome browser - a huge C++ project in the "non-Harmful" way.

  15. I got cheap HP envy 360 ($699) with convertible design.

    Love that feature - use it a few times.

    Great to convert it as huge 15 inch, 1080p, 16GB RAM tablet and browse the web/amazon with a few people together. 16GB makes is much better browser experience than ipad and most of the android. The con is that it does weight a lot more than regular tablet.

  16. Two other factors:

    Flash connection protocols (sata, ide) allows much faster evolution independent what's on the other side of interface.

    If you have a new flash tech that's 2,3x better in density/speed, you can easily deploy it in current generation of high end server in the next few months.

    RAM protocols (DDR2,3,4) must be developed 100% in sync with the CPU vendors. If the major cpu vendors (Intel, AMD, ARM Soc, Qualcomm) decide they don't want your new 2,3x better interface speed/density, you have zero chance to deploy it. It takes years for JEDEC to agree on new memory interface standard. Your new 2,5,10x better tech's deployment is actually depend on your competitors agree to allow it to be the new standard.

    Flash can have higher latency as trade off if needed. DDR interface's latency has high impact on the CPU/system benchmark.

  17. Digi-key, Mouser should have retails office location in Silicon Valley where anyone can order on-line and pickup in person when notified the order is ready via email/txt.
  18. Maybe make it a law that company needs to maintain certain level device security via software update for N years for internet connected devices.

    Or they are required to release those device's source code to (and pay for) the "communities" for the maintain the security updates.

    If they don't do it, they are responsible to damage caused by those devices because of security issue or the customer's loss of data/privacy due to hacking by 3rd parties.

    Similar to recent case where "food processor" company is liable if the blade is cracked into pieces into the processed food after a few years.
