  • (ok i see, you're using the term CPU colloquially to refer to the processor. i know you obviously know the difference & that's what you meant - i just mention the distinction for others who may not be aware.)

    ultimately op may not require exact monitoring, since they compared it to standard system monitors etc, which are ofc approximate as well. so the tools as listed by Eager Eagle in this comment may be sufficient for the general use described by op?

    eg. these, screenshots looks pretty close to what i imagined op meant

    now onto your very cool idea of substantially improving the temporal resolution of measuring memory bandwidth...you've got me very interested with your idea :)

    my inital sense is counting completed L3/4 cache misses sourced from DRAM and similar events might be alot easier - though as you point out that will inevitably accumulate event counts within a given time interval rather than an individual event.

    i understand the role of parity bits in ECC memory, but i didn't quite understand how & which ECC fields you would access, and how/where you would store those results with improved temporal resolution compared to event counts?

    would love to hear what your setup would look like? :) which ECC-specific masks would you monitor? where/how would you store/process such high resolution results without impacting the measurement itself?

  • yes people come from reddit because it was ruined by corporate bs and immediately start simping hard for corporate propaganda, bogging down quality discussion

    and it's becoming the majority now, so just like reddit, you have to scroll so much further down a thread before the good info is found.

    in other words: welcome redditors, pls leave the reddit bs at the door on your way in.

  • Reading up on RDP

    Microsoft requires RDP implementers to obtain a patent license

    there it is. good info to dig up jrgd, well done! shame we had to scroll so far in the thread to find these actual proper, highly relevant details.

    well, everyone has to pick their battles, and perhaps RHEL just couldn't fight this one out.

    but imo i'd much rather see VNC get some upgrades under RHEL than continue the ever increasing microsoft-ization of linux

  • edit: nvm i re-read what you wrote

    i agree it does mostly fulfill the criteria for libre software. perhaps not in every way to the same spirit as other projects, but that is indeed a separate discussion.

  • so many classics listed already, some others...

    • the one where a civillisation downloads their lives into picard. whole ep you're wondering wtf is with picard this is slow as he lives some dudes life, then the reveal is amazing it's so full of positivity and warmth - appropriately titled "the inner light". hats off for capturing positivity so well onscreen (for some reason an elusive skill)
    • when picard defends data's rights as a sentient being
  • Thanks for the reference, from there I found the very impressive original Nature paper "A RISC-V 32-bit microprocessor based on two-dimensional semiconductors" fantastic stuff!!

    From the paper, that's almost a 40x improvement on comparable logic integration!

    Some notes from the paper:

    • Transistor channel length is 3 um
    • Clock speed is 1 kHz

    Typically this is where people like to shit on the design "cos muh GHz" etc, but tbf not only will people doubtless work on improving the clock speeds etc, but there's plenty of applications where computation time or complexity isn't so demanding, so i'm just excited by any breakthrough in these areas.

  • afaict the topic of the article seems to be focusing on trust as in privacy and confidentiality

    for the discussion i think we can extend trust as in also trusting the ethics and motivation of the company producing the "AI"

    imo what this overlooks is that a community or privately made "AI" running entirely offline has the capacity to tick those boxes rather differently.

    trusting it to be effective is perhaps an entirely different discussion however

    feeling like you've been listened to can be therapeutic.

    actionable advice is an entirely different matter ofc.

  • just want to add, it's not the zoomer's fault. they were intentionally raised in ignorance because its apparently profitable

    fuck the corporations who've deliberately turned our living computers into soulless commercial brainwashing surveillance machines

  • Or they’re just adding improvements to the software they heavily rely on.

    which they can do in private any time they wish, without any of the fanfare.

    if they actually believe in opensource let them opensource windows 7 1, or idk the 1/4 of a century old windows 2k

    instead we get the fanare as they pat themselves on the back for opensourcing MS-DOS 4.0 early last year (not even 8.0, which is 24 years old btw, 4.0 which came out in 1986).

    38 years ago...

    MS-fucking-DOS, from 38 years ago, THAT'S how much they give a shit about opensource mate.

    all we get is a poor pantomime which actually only illustrates just how stupid they truly think we are to believe the charade.

    does any of that mean they're 100% have to be actively shipping "bad code" in this project, not by any means. does it mean microsoft will never make a useful contribution to linux, not by any means. what it does mean is they're increasing their sphere of influence over the project. and they have absolutely no incentive to help anyone but themselves, in fact the opposite.

    as everyone knows (it's not some deep secret the tech heads on lemmy somehow didn't hear about) microsoft is highly dependent on linux for major revenue streams. anything a monolith depends on which they don't control represents a risk. they'd be negligent if they didn't try to exert control over it. and that's for any organisation in their position. then factor in their widespread outspoken agenda against opensource, embrace, extend, extinguish and the vastly lacking longterm evidence to match their claims of <3 opensource.

    they're welcome to prove us all wrong, but that isn't even on the horizon currently.

    1 yes yes they claim they can't because "licensing", which is mostly but not entirely fucking flimsy, but ok devils advocate: release the rest, but nah.

  • A lot of Microsoft-oriented developers still don’t understand the free software movement, and have been trying to twist it into something they can comprehend since it started four decades ago.
