Only working memory (the writable part) has to be isolated between users of a shared component. Modern OSes and MMUs do it well. 2 processes using a shared OpenSSL library won't be able to peek at each other. At best, one process may be able to see that the other is using the library by doing some performance analysis, but working data never crosses border (barring a hardware or kernel-level bug).
It is not a problem of data going across process borders, it is about guaranteeing that each dependency is at the version for which the app has been tested with. From a security standpoint, it has pros and cons. The pro is that it is easier to qualify, and it makes the app less susceptible to system-level attacks and regressions. The con is that should a vulnerability be discovered in a dependency, it won't be fixed by a system update, you have to integrate the fix yourself and make a new release.
No it isn't, DRAM is made with a different process and those are chiplets, perfectly possible to outsource, and the only possibility really as TSMC does not make DRAM.
That judgment is an essential skill of an experienced programmer, and it is required at every level of the big picture, from high level architecture decisions to the development of particular features: what should I polish and what needs to be developed fast? How exactly should I cut corners in the safest way?
So lastfm become relevant again because slop will not appear statistically in user scrobblings because of vast amount of "musicians" required to be profitable: if I listen to 1000 AI artists with one track produced and Linkin Park then my average will be Linkin Park
Cannot call lastfm algorithm advanced in any sense. Just opened Amon Tobin page: "similar artists: Kid Koala and DJ Kush", which is an impressively shallow understanding of the last 20 (!!) years of his life, and this happened with almost every artist on the platform, because the average sum of tastes of every listener does not exist in reality. E.g. in the case of Amon Tobin, Kid Koala is the average of similarities between early albums and recent releases, which is just not true, his music cannot be averaged throughout his career. I love my Web 2.0 youth, but the average similarity algorithm doesnt deserve praise. Its not better, its nostalgia and lack of faang-style unlimited greed which confused with better quality
Edit: of course spotify-style recommendations are much much worse, I just mean that lastfm doesnt have good algorithm either because artists are not consistent in releases. What is an average between electronic cult classic "The last resort" and every other Trentemoller album in strict indie rock style? This average does not exist
I am unfortunately a bit late to this conversation but I've been building a music exploration website in my spare time, which has similar artist recommendations too.

Still work in progress but curious to know what you think if you get a chance to try it
Checked with vast Amon Tobin discography with all his aliases as his discography is a very complicated edge case for any recommendation algorithm: Stone Giants/Figueroa is listened by people who like Amon Tobin but the former is pure indie rock and folk and should not show Amon Tobin itself but more something like Current93.
Don’t know how to solve this issue but it but it break any recommendation algorithm for last 20 years
My consoles (Xbox and switch) are terrible at the basic thing like updates. My steam deck on the other hand does update all the time but I never notice and haven't ever picked it up off the dock and been stopped from playing a game because it needed to update something. I think they'll start eating everones lunch if they keep making it easier to use and if their 2026 products are good.
The main issue is an ability to rebuild literally any part of the system from sources. A few changes here and there allow cheaters to bypass anticheat protection in a significant amount of ways
I’m author of relatively popular open source project (4.8k stars, 100k+ downloads/months), lived on donations for five years. I use and am eternally grateful for the following oss plans:
- Unlimited browserstack. This would cost thousands of dollars
- Free netlify hosting. Server side analytics is still $9/m, but anyway
These plans have one thing in common: they are not limited in time. Open source cannot be built on an unstable foundation.
The six-month anthropic offer is just ridiculous. Bland PR move, I can’t express how miserable this plan is. It just not for us
