This is a completely obvious conclusion with an unexpected definition of "effort" to justify a click-bait title.

What protocol is missing from Wayland?
Yes Wayland doesn't have a printer protocol like Xorg, I know.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/t...
This is an incomplete list of protocols that aren't part of core Wayland. Compositors implement additional protocols that aren't even part of this process (e.g. wlr-screencopy-unstable). See the wlroota protocols here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/tree/master...
singron commented on Client-side GPU load balancing with Redis and Lua galileo.ai/blog/how-we-bo... · Posted by u/lneiman
If I understand the article correctly, any sufficiently capable attacker can:
- Know the global state of your GPU cluster via the client.
- Target the most struggling GPU instances specifically since the client decides which one to hit.
You offer a free tier which means anyone can get an account and try to do it (e.g. you can have one "harmless, mostly inactive" free account with the only purpose of retrieving GPU cluster status, and a bunch of burner accounts to overload struggling instances).
I may be completely wrong, but this sounds like DDoS served on a silver plate to me.
They run these clients themselves and the redis instance isn't publically exposed.
It would indeed be very strange to hope your random users coordinate with your client side load balancer. You wouldn't even have to send real traffic. You could just manipulate redis directly to force all the real traffic to go to a single node. DoSing redis itself is also pretty easy.

Doesn't -O2 still exclude any CPU features from the past ~15 years (like AVX).
If you know the architecture and oldest CPU model, we're better served with added a bunch more flags, no?
I wish I could compile my server code to target CPU released on/after a particular date like:
-O2 -cpu-newer-than=2019You can use x86_64-v2 or x86_64-v3. Dates are tricky since cpu features aren't included on all SKUs from all manufacturers on a certain date.
BTW the page mentions Alternate Styles, which is an obscure feature in firefox (View -> Page Styles). If you try it out, you will probably run into [0] and not be able to reset the style. The workaround is to open the page in a different tab, which will go back to the default style.
singron commented on Nearly all UK drivers say headlights are too bright bbc.com/news/articles/c1j... · Posted by u/YeGoblynQueenne
Bear in mind that the UK has a “national speed limit” of 60mph for much of the countryside. This is very much a limit, a maximum, and you’re expected to drive to the conditions of the road. If it’s perfect weather conditions and twisting roads not wide enough for 2 cars, you shouldn’t be driving at the speed limit.
Having driven in the US and UK, this is a significant difference between the two. In the UK, you might sometimes drive 30 under on a road that is nominally 60 mph. In the US, that road would have a specific posted speed limit that is safe to drive. US roads are also more consistently designed for constant speed or have additional advisory speed limits for curves. You can nearly always drive as fast as the number on the sign unless there is some additional hazard.
Very nice!
Did you consider making this a view instead? Just curious if there is a reason why you couldn't.
I'm not the author, but I think you could by using UNION ALL instead of temp tables. You could also make a view that just calls this function. I'm not sure why it would matter though.
I would argue the opposite. If your collaboration sucks IMHO you haven’t done enough. It’s a skill. Imagine you’re playing a team sport and you recommended people play together less to win more games. Now look up Globetrotters vs Lakers.
I think the sports analogy would be passing the ball back and forth in front of the goal instead of shooting. Nearly every time, an athlete with the ball in front of an open goal will take the shot themselves instead of passing. Even in a 2v1 situation, passing is a huge risk and taking the shot has a high likelihood of scoring, so you only want to pass if the defender is leaving your teammate open (usually they split the difference, so it's complicated). Too many passes in a 2v1 guarantees that more defenders will show up and you lose your advantage.

singron commented on AI adoption in US adds ~900k tons of CO₂ annually, study finds techxplore.com/news/2025-... · Posted by u/geox
The paper is based on an estimate of productivity increases per industry due to AI. The highest increases are around 0.2% and most industries are <0.1%. In that world, AI isn't transformative and doesn't accelerate.
In some ways I think this is probably realistic, but it's not compatible with outcomes touted by boosters. They estimate 28 PJ/year, which is only about 0.9 GW. Stargate was planned to build 10 GW of capacity alone, so they can't both be true
