Absolutely. That’s why it’s still good practice to include some kind of comment about the article in the post if the content isn’t clearly identified by the headline.

It’s a good idea in principle but headlines are often not in the viewer’s interest. The purpose is to get you to watch the video, not to actually tell you what’s in the video.

Unfortunately there’s lots of good videos with Clickbait titles.

Not all heroes wear capes. You’re saving their butts, and they don’t know it.

In my experience, the job of a sr. revolves around expectations. Expectations of yourself, of the customer, of your bosses, of your juniors and individual contributors working with you or that you’re tasking. Managing the expectations and understanding how these things go to protect your guys and gals and trying to save management from poking out their own eyes.

And you may actually have time to do some programming.

You know you’re Sr. when it doesn’t even bother you anymore. It amuses you.

Sometimes you even get newer and more interesting bugs!

I’m not sure how AI supposed to understand code. Most of the code out there is garbage. Even most of the working code out there in the world today is garbage.

AI can be a useful tool, but it’s not a substitute for actual expertise. More reviews might patch over the problem, but at the end of the day, you need a competent software developer who understands the business case, risk profile, and concrete needs to take responsibility for the code if that code is actually important.

AI is not particularly good at coding, and it’s not particularly good at the human side of engineering either. AI is cheap. It’s the outsourcing problem all over again and with extra steps of having an algorithm hide the indirection between the expertise you need and the product you’re selling.

My main beef is that I don’t enjoy watching video form content, but having a summary would be more than sufficient to quickly determine whether or not I would be interested in watching anyway.

Strongly agree.

Squish them like bug. Show me you can do it, AMD.

This is certainly an interesting feature, though my one use case has become much less relevant now that systems boot so quickly.

Perhaps if you have long running jobs and no implementation of state saving it could find applications.

One option could be to get one of those 5G modems. It would require you to pay for your own Internet service, but many will then provide an Ethernet connection as an option, meaning you would never have to accept the legal terms presented to you. You could even use Wi-Fi because technically you never agreed to the terms, and practically speaking so many devices generate Wi-Fi networks I think it would be hard to enforce that you don’t produce any networks. Printers, smart watches, IP cameras… Are they really going to wardrive and triangulate the position of wireless devices on a regular basis? A sneaky network named after a printer or hidden SSID combined with ignorance for a TOS you never agreed to would probably slip through the cracks.

They don’t own the spectrum. I’m not sure it’s even legal to mandate that you can’t use Wi-Fi devices as long as you’re not using their network. When I was in university, there were still tons of such devices emitting signals that weren’t connected to the university network despite policy.

2 Duo. I remember when those came out and how multicore was still a novelty. Now my economy chip in my home desktop has 16 threads.

If search engines don’t improve to address the AI problem, most of the Internet will be AI gibberish.

This kind of monitoring and association technology is so advanced that Target famously had to turn it down because it was creeping out customers.

No.

These child lock suggestions are posturing at best.

Way cool! Might actually try it sometime.

With KVM performance will be quite good, but when you need to emulate cross architecture? I don’t think there are many alternatives that support the entire VM. I only know of user space tools that are focused on emulating a binary.

Call it a difference of opinion that I don’t believe it should try to be bit-accurate for floating point. But, it’s a valid position to take. There are many use cases for QEMU. In this case where we emit some host instructions I do believe it’s still within the helper function instead of inline which is not ideal. The guest code using floating point in the first place to me implies some degree of inaccuracy is permissible and this is the position that some cross architecture game emulators take. But again, I suppose it can depend what code you wish to run.

Yes indeed. I develop QEMU at work mainly implementation of new hardware as needed for my employer. It has a software emulator, but it’s not very good. It’s acceptable.

The instruction generation backend does not seem to prioritize performance. Instead, it prioritizes accuracy and ease of maintenance. There is low-hanging fruit for making it faster but there isn’t much interest in doing so for the TCG backend. The attitude seems to be that it’s good enough.

For a small example, you may find it interesting that QEMU does not implement floating point acceleration. It’s done in software even though the host has floating point instructions. It usually doesn’t attempt to use those floating point hardware facilities on the host and instead execute many hundreds of instructions to do floating point using the Berkeley software implementation. Almost never does this matter but it costs a lot of performance. Compare this to the translation performed by projects like FEX and Box64 which do and blow QEMU out of the water for specific use cases.

Another place in the emulator that could be improved is handling of executable pages or cached output of the backend code generator. The executable code caching mechanism is very simple and could probably be much more aggressive on today’s systems.

If you examine change logs, TCG really doesn’t get much TLC last time I checked. It could be a better emulator but performance outside of KVM use case is not as important to the project.
