How many people would you guess were arrested last year for online posts?

There was one: "100% rust Linux kernel upstreamed"

They're still doing well today, right? IIRC they provide the lenses for Metas in-development AR glasses

similarly IIRC, on (some generations of) x86 chips, NOP is sugar around `XCHG EAX, EAX` which is effectively a do-nothing operation

This is pretty much all x86 chips as far as I'm aware: opcode 0x90 which is equivalent to XCHG AX,AX.

The 8080 and Z80's NOP was at opcode 0. Which was neat because you could make a "NOP slide" simply by zeroing out memory.

There are multiple variants of nop mainly because you sometimes need the nop instruction to take up a certain number of bytes for alignment purposes. You have the 1-byte nop, but there is also the 9-byte nop.

Does this actually translate into any kind of probability of a manufacturer making a device with this chip?

This is cool, I don't see my comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45869146#45869388) indexed though

A kernel extension-less sshfs for macOS. I tried using FSKit and got halfway before I felt too constrained by the extension security model (must be app sandboxed, must be approved by the user in system settings). Now it’s just a standalone command line binary that doesn’t require any special permissions since it proxies NFS to SFTP. Everything “just works” and performance is reasonable

Interesting... the way I workaround'd non-macos-native-sshfs is by using docker and mounting a local folder, do you plan on publishing your tool?

Absolutely: https://github.com/jabedude/sshfs

Where is the compute node source code?

Heh, this is super interesting to hear. Single threaded async/concurrent code is so fun and interesting to see. I’ve ran some tokio programs in single threaded mode just to see it in action

Question for the experts in the field: why does this need to be a CPU and not a dongle you plug into a server and query?
