Even more amazing is that there are still people playing that game.

"Everyone seems to increasingly be in it for themselves, not for society."

As human beings, we have an underlying need for belonging and connection. All of us are by default programmed to be connected to our own interests. For many that circle broadens to their friends and family and for a few that broadens to their immediate community. Fewer still feel connected to their country and only some of us will feel connected to the world.

If you read just one article on web3, let it be this one.

I think it's pretty cool that video is getting such a performance boost, however there are more developers than video editors out there that could have used few more general purpose cores on the silicon. If you look at compile times, the M1 MAX is just slightly better than AMD mobile CPUs produced on an inferior process node. Nothing to write home about.

The big thing to look at here is perf-per-watt and heat output.

For a little bit I had a laptop with a Ryzen 5900HS and though its performance was great, utilizing that performance meant turning the laptop into a cooking surface with fans raging while being plugged into a barrel-style power brick that delivered more power than USB PD could handle. A laptop delivering that same performance without the crazy heat and fan noise while on battery while still delivering good battery life is a big deal.

As with anything, we have to ask ourselves why are we offloading the responsibility to the OS providers to solve this, when we really have to determine for ourselves if the risk is even a risk at all on our individual systems. Do I care about this hard to exploit vulnerability on a web server that's streaming video content to the public? No. Does it matter on a DB server with important financial data? Yes it does.

Applying the patch should be opt-in if you ask me. But of course, most sysadmins are hopeless. So then the OS vendors push it out, it's safer than letting the decision to uninformed people.

This "but people are stupid and uninformed" mentality has really got to stop. If you find yourself making an argument that hinges on everyone but you or some large population being idiots then you're wrong. Not only because people aren't stupid but doubly because you're specifically talking about a population of highly educated people who start as developers and get interested in infra.

Sysadmins/DevOps/SREs aren't hopeless, they just have different incentives and responsibilities. Default secure with the option to let down your guard when the need is there is always always the right choice. You wouldn't have your firewall default allow with a blocklist. You wouldn't grant everyone sudo access and then maintain a list of commands they can't execute. Such a thing is impossible to maintain.

For me specifically I manage too many servers to bother with this. It's going to be deployed to everything without exception and if you need more performance we'll rack more hardware. The cost of more CPUs is less than the risk that something will slip through the cracks. I don't care that your pet service doesn't execute any untrusted code, I'm not carving out exceptions when I have 20 teams constantly asking for stuff.

>I'm not carving out exceptions when I have 20 teams constantly asking for stuff.

Sounds like your IT department is severely understaffed and is unable to meet the needs of the developers without reducing service.

Sometimes this happens —- the vast majority of organizations have tighter budgets than FAANG, especially if they are not for profit. How helpful do you think this observation could be to someone in their position ?

I think it should be opt out because it’s better to have secure by default than fast by default in my opinion.

This is especially true since the exploits are available in Javascript.

Looks very nice! Does it support multi gpu training during the search?

There used to be a time when every town had a dairy and also nice men who would deliver it to you in glass reusable containers and perhaps even have sex with your wife.

I remember reading about an ELI5: The "Old Math" in Tom Lehrer's New Math. That post was funny.

If you haven't heard the song, he describes the way they used to do math as follows:

Consider the following subtraction problem, which I will put up here: 342 minus 173. Now, remember how we used to do that:

Three from two is nine, carry the one, and if you're under 35 or went to a private school, you say seven from three is six, but if you're over 35 and went to a public school, you say eight from four is six ...and carry the one, so we have 169.

I wish I could give it a try... I don't have a place of my own yet and no access to a kitchen, but hey! It could be worse. I'll save the recipe for the future though.

The ability to create a docker image from multiple sub-images is pretty useful. I think you could also use Dockerfile multi stage builds for that, but it’s not as clean.
