It is sad that once again we will be exposed to more criminals trying to steal our data. Memory encryption not only allows to secure memory from physical "cold RAM", but also prevents loss of encryption keys as it hides the content during transfer.

Why no benchmarks against pg_vector, DuckDB with extension?

For benchmarks you may just prepare Phoronix Test Suite module (https://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/) to facilitate replication on a variety of machines.

Also compare with LKH3 which seems much faster and closer to optimal.

Unfortunately the default configuration poses significant security problems, allowing for sidestepping 2-factor authentication schemes, and sideloading of applications without user permission (!)

Do they change IP numbers so often?

In bussiness it is not called "losing", but "investment".

Because 8GiB is insufficient for most work in 2025, so cheap Macbook is simply better Chromebook at this point: https://videocardz.com/newz/pcgh-demonstrates-why-8gb-gpus-a...

And 16GiB VRAM insufficient for games:

Also, 3nm M4 is going head-to-head with older Ryzen AI 365 in everything except for power efficiency: https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/apple-m4-vs-amd-ryzen-...

When compared in multicore against Ryzen AI Pro laptops (high end), even Apple M5 are behind in the dust...

Despite awesome progress with its latest ARM processors, Apple was caught behind Ryzen, and is threatened by next generation of Zen processors.

How much faster or slower than 400 lines compiler? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26191243

Fails to recover after the first parse error.

While I admire social-network-friendly websites, I am afraid that performance is too bad to allow its use instead of a social network.

Indeed it is so performance sensitive, that it has blocked my region. Would it not be better to get a static site generator from a standard Markdown posts, and thus assure it is both performant and accessible?

Inventions of SpaceX made space trips much cheaper: https://spaceinsider.tech/2023/08/16/how-much-does-it-cost-t...

Now it reaches just 2k$ per kilogram.

Human foot on Mars is a multi-year research project, but NASA is still at the stage of planning the moon base.

100 children? Looks like Elon is less fertile...

When policy dispute escalates to ad hominem and fund cutting arguments, it becomes clear that the presidency no longer serves the institution, but becomes a personal kingdom.

...until they are legally required, just like producers of printers are.

Sharing software to be tested for free seems an unalienable right of the company, and indeed many companies distribute free keys to testers.

Here author talks about taxing software that remains with the employee, as if it were "gift" or "taxable benefit" of employment, not an exercise of unalienable right to share software for testing.

Sounds more like tax office logic, instead of common sense.

Taxable benefit would occur if Microsoft bought software of others and gifted it to employee. Or if Microsoft could not reasonably expect people to actually test the software, or allowed them to resell it.

It seems like this article does not distinguish non-monetary "benefit" from employment from necessity that the company gives free license to use its software for testing.

Stock buybacks return money to the investors.

Despite widespread knowledge that Open Access is more effective marketing of research, the ACM still clings on to non-open-access models outside of CACM.

ACM is among the few publishers in technology that still resist open access, and told to pay for it.

It is unfortunate sign that organization struggles to fulfill its mission in promotion of computing research, and is instead leaning on interests that are outside its mission statement.

EU trust watchdog is less trusting than FTC.

While Mr Perry prefers to parry words before a material blow lands, Mr Cook naturally avoids cooking an antitrust case.

Apple is a monopolist on a service that is public.

Termination of developer account in this case merits FTC action.

Part of modern university training is making exercises as unrelatable as unpractical as possible, so that students are relieved to find their commercial work simply boring and repetitive afterwards.

"International law scholars consider the ECHR to be the most effective international human rights court in the world." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Court_of_Human_Rights...

There are 46 state members of Council of Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_the_Council_o...

In principle human rights are considered civilizational legacy, and the opinions are highly considered by other courts. However, the public policy of particular states is often at odds with these opinions.

It would be better to submit the paper for peer review verifying the claims.

It is great to have opinions, but it is even better to rigorously check them against reality.

Great for conformance!

What about performance?

Expert without access to algorithm may tell only so much.

They may analyze statistics behind answers, which is often costly.

But they may find it hard to prove that the bias is due to negligence.

Because this is counter-accusation.

If judge has all reasons to believe in fairness of the algorithm, then counter-accusation is the only way through.

Whether it is "half-baked", or not: how many driving hours passed before the first fatality?

How do they compare to human driving hours per fatality?

Did you try FileCoin instead?

While upsetting civil rights, one cannot leave commercial data brokers unmonitored by agencies.

If only because they should be able estimate risk of and prevent criminal activity on home soil.

As AI becomes viable business, OpenAI becomes less and less open.

Since open source has been a successful business model in software, we might see another closed vs open battle in AI: Facebook and Google publish their models open source now.
