Windows should have anticheat built in (they could call it... Palladium) so games don't need additional malware.

If you think about it, a fully mechanical car can be driven to any position on a piece of infinite tape. It can leave marks by spinning out its tires. The driver can follow instructions regarding where to drive based on the tire marks.
Every car is a computer.

Jeff Bezos explains the idea of “paper cut” teams “There are big things that are really important to manage — and by the way, it’s astonishingly hard to focus on just the big things. Even though they’re obvious, they’re really hard to focus on. But in addition to that, there are all these tiny customer deficiencies. We call those ‘paper cuts,’ and we make long lists of them. Then we have dedicated teams that go fix paper cuts. That’s because the teams that are working on the big issues never get to the paper cuts. They never work their way down the list. They’re working on big things — as they should and as you want them to — so you need special teams who are charged with fixing paper cuts.” Source: @lexfridman (Dec 2023)

@dahm_mike @deltaIV9250 I've been saying they should launch a Starship space station for a while. Would be a good test for the flyby.

@deltaIV9250 It has a long way to go to prove it will have systems reliable to operate for almost a year with humans onboard.

These are advanced topics that I wouldn't expect gamers to understand. Which raises the question of how we can educate people about them in a factual and non-polarized way.

This is a really interesting thread. Based on this post, the quoted-post, comments, subsequent posts, and sub-threads, gamers seem to not to understand: - What Direct Memory Access (DMA) means - What "kernel-mode" means - What an anti-cheat really does - What a computer is

ARM server CPU 不是一个容易的生意:
Qualcomm 做了两次， 失败， 退出。 现在要第三次做。
Broadcom做了一次，失败，退出。
Marvell 做了一次我，失败， 退出。
为什么 ARM觉得这次它的AGI CPU能赢呢？
为什么NVIDIA觉得它的VERA CPU rack 能赢过X86呢？
Weird…
也许ARM能赢，但Nvidia不一定。
当初Nvidia在移动设备上也被吊打。
Mellanox过去也被Broadcom Marvell 压着打
General ARM server CPU will fail …

Firecracker doesn't support live migration.
It has snapshot/restore ie. pause the VM, save state, restore later. But it is not really the same thing.
True live migration means serializing a running VM (CPU, memory, devices) and moving it to another host mid execution. QEMU has done this for 10+ years w iterative pre/post-copy + dirty page tracking.
Firecracker was built for Lambda. Long running agents need both Lambda ergonomics WITH EC2 semantics. QEMU ftw.

Most honest customer service. (They don't control anything in any company.)

Had to get out of a waymo yesterday and get an uber because the car refused to take the highway (been using highway for months)... the funny part? on with customer service them saying "sorry sir we don't control the cars" ... sign of things to come.

Prevention measures like an $11 bath mat could save Americans tens of thousands of dollars. If Medicare would send these out to every recipient in America, I’ll bet the investment would pay for itself in under a year.

When Jony Ive designed the first iMac, he put a handle on it.
Not so people could carry it, it was a desktop computer. Nobody was going to carry it anywhere.
Steve Jobs insisted on it anyway.
Manufacturing a recessed handle cost a fortune. Every engineer at the old Apple would have killed it.
Ive explained why it mattered: "Back then, people weren't comfortable with technology. If you're scared of something, you won't touch it. If there's a handle on it, it makes a relationship possible. It gives you permission to touch."
A handle changed how people felt about approaching a computer.
Elon thinks the same way.
Early Tesla engineers would describe him stopping meetings over a panel gap, a surface ratio, a curve that didn't feel right... Things that had nothing to do with range or performance.
He'd just say it's not beautiful enough and refuse to move on.
Most people assume Jobs and Musk are opposites, one sold dreams, the other sells engineering.
The overlap is that both understood something most builders never figure out: "The way a product makes you feel when you look at it is part of how it works."
David Senra@davidsenra
.@EricJorgenson on why Steve Jobs and @elonmusk are more similar than people realize: "I think Elon is underrated in his design sense. There's a lot of times when you hear Elon quotes that sound exactly like Steve Jobs would've said. He thinks about it like an algorithm. There's certain things, ratios that have to exist between the product, or it needs to feel bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside — that he just absolutely insists on. There's stories, especially from early Tesla, of him being unreasonable about design decisions that he just puts a finger on, and is like, 'It has to be this way or it's not good enough, it's not beautiful enough, it's not aesthetic enough.' In the same way that Steve Jobs was very much like, 'No, put a handle on that computer, because it changes the relationship that somebody has with this kind of new, foreign machine.'"

@Empty_America Reduce cost of living (housing) and reduce wages? Although Chipotle is one of the more affordable options near me.
English
So what is the SOLUTION to the Chipotle price crisis?
Do we somehow increase labor supply and decrease food service wages?
Do we allow deregulated street food peddlers and "plate sellers?"
Do we want government subsidized cafeterias?
Seems like no one ever discusses this!

you can spend 9k on this SSD to have an experience that is measurably better than 4k blu-rays, each movie costing 20-30 to watch at high fidelity.
But then think about it.
Is there a single movie out there right now that would be worth all the extra fees?
I still think you’re better off pirating any recent release and watching it at 480p for free on your phone.

I've been thinking about this one since this stat started making the rounds. Have a college friend who's crazy smart - total freakazoid genius. From the age of ~20 => 25 I watched her gradually internalize that she was likely gonna have to marry someone she thought was an idiot

"Would you marry someone less intelligent than you?" Outright "no": Women: 45% Men: 8% Women are nearly 6x more likely to rule it out entirely. The single largest gender disparity in our deep-question dataset.
