That was true 20 years ago, but not really today. Today's hardware is much more complicated and I wouldn't expect NetBSD to work well on anything but the most basic hardware.

Oh my I totally forgot about NeHe! I probably still have some of the lessons printed out at my parents house somewhere.

Good times.

My mistake. English is not my first language. In my native language, the word racism is used for discrimination or prejudice against anything foreign (nation, race, language, ...).

But either way, I find the reduction of the argument to the semantics of the word racism to be deflection. Wouldn't you agree the original comment was made in poor taste? Why did it need to include a reference to Indian and imply that all things Indian made are cheap or low quality?

We applied this kind of mindset to the Japanese in the 60s and 70s, and look where that got us. I witness it happening again in the 00s and 10s applied to Korean electronics (LG and Samsung mostly) while we were content with minor improvements over the status quo and innovating far too slowly.

Yes, this incident has an almost farcical amount of stupid attached to it, but the fact that it happened to an Indian company is in my eyes only coincidental. There are plenty of Silicon Valley startups and tech companies that are equally cavalier about aspects of security and apply the mentality of "we'll fix it in post" to anything but shipping features.

No need to resort to racism. Stupidity is present in all nations.

Sure there was - rebrand and change names, maybe once or twice until the public loses interest to keep talking about it.

Or silently spin out a subsidiary under a new name who takes over the cert business, and redirect existing customers there for renewals.

That's not the case, Go uses the system store with an additional revoke/deny list in crypto/x509 because it allows updating a deployed application on an out of date or slow moving platform or OS.

This CVE is literally just "versions of the Go deny list don't contain the eMuhdra revokation yet". Older versions of Go will still deny certs signed through the compromised certificate if the system store already has the update.

It's an or situation, not and.

Cool!

I'm looking forward to the weights release as well, has anything about the architecture and possibly quantization resilience been shared publicly so far?

I've been using Mistral Large 4 and some of my other friends have as well.

Something is going on with the performance (as in speed of the service, not quality). Some days it's quite fast, some days it's so slow I interrupt it because I thought it was hanging.

I think they're shifting hosting capacity around, or otherwise messing with the model. Note that it's still a "preview" version, meaning they're still training it further for the final release and they are likely still figuring out the optimal hosting configuration as well.

It wouldn't surprise me to see further changes in both quality of the model and speed before the final release.

I see the R5 electric everywhere in Belgium as well, and I still love how it looks despite its ubiquity.

A small hatchback no longer fits my life, but otherwise I would have loved to drive an R5.

I hope they make some "hot hatch" EVs in the future, the Alpine A290 is more like an expensive lukewarm hatch.

Zapp's quote was "Soon you'll all be fighting for your planet. Many of you will be dying for your planet. A few of you will be forced through a fine mesh screen for your planet. They'll be the luckiest of all."

Unless you're thinking of something else, but I can't find anything that comes close to the sentiment other than the above.

Well, it's the rest of us paying the price, they're reaping the rewards.

To quote the wise Lord Farquaad: "some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

The setup script often runs privileged (by calling sudo) and that's not unexpected when installing new software.

When I install something, and it asks for my root password later, I will be much more likely to think "hold up, this ain't right".
