I assume your concern with GPU passthrough is that each VM needs a whole GPU? You can use GPU-PV to split your GPU between VM instances. Then the main bottleneck becomes how thin you split out your VRAM.

Wouldn't virtualbox or vmware's paravirtual GPUs be a better fit for this use case? Unfortunately the offerings with qemu/libvirt still lag vmwares by a lot.

I know those offer virtual GPUs, but I am unfamiliar with any paravirtual GPU offerings from VMWare or VirtualBox. The virtual GPUs are much more limited in performance and graphics API support.

It sounds to me like a product of the ‘90s. CRTs were still common, and they support essentially arbitrary fixed refresh rates. It wouldn’t have been a big deal at the time. It’s like how the original Doom runs at a native 35fps when you don’t use interpolation.


Last I’d checked, “﷽”is the widest Unicode character.


It depends on the font, of course. Some renditions look like regular Arabic text, others are much narrower: https://fonts.google.com/?preview.text=%EF%B7%BD&script=Arab


It's rendering visibly narrower than the big dash up thread for me, on FF on Android. (Maybe HN's stripping one or more of the combining chars though, so it's not actually showing what you meant in full?)


I fear for the children who had to memorize this.


It isn't a special letter or symbol in arabic, it's just a regular sentence that was added to unicode since it both holds symbolic meaning in islam and is used often enough to be useful. Some fonts render it like any other arabic, making it look like one big sentence as a single character, but others render it as calligraphy


Just found another way to make my designer panic. We're launching Arabic soon too!


Not sure where ads for pizza places are coming from, but the suggested maps trips are part of the “Significant Locations” feature. That data is end-to-end encrypted across your devices and is unreadable by Apple. It can be disabled if you don’t want it tracked.


> That data is end-to-end encrypted across your devices and is unreadable by Apple.

Sure, Jan. Next you'll tell me that Google isn't evil and Apple truly does care about human rights.


If you have evidence to the contrary, it would make for a great lawsuit. Apple is very explicit that they cannot read it. This data is end-to-end encrypted, much like the data collected by the Health app. They never have the keys to it.

In comparison, Apple also has plenty of your data “encrypted at rest”, where they have the keys (unless you use advanced data protection). That data is only superficially secured. That’s not what this feature uses.


>Car prices have increased well above the rate of inflation over the last decade

This is a fair concern, but also, looking at the rise of average car prices is like looking at the rise of average iPhone prices. That is to say, cars (and iPhones) are providing increasingly premium offerings that didn’t exist decades ago. If you look at the entry levels of both these things, you find that the bottom-line price broadly keeps pace with inflation. And for cars, that’s with the addition of now-standard safety and convenience features. When you match cars feature-for-feature (an unrealistic comparison, as there aren’t really bare-bones cars on offer anymore), you’d see that cars are increasing in price much more slowly than inflation, and in other words, are effectively cheaper. Ultimately, whether car prices are rising or falling depends a lot on how you calculate things.

I’ll also add that EV pricing doesn’t have to mean insane car costs. The US market has the Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf each selling for about $30k new and can be readily bought for half that with used inventory.


The link you shared details hacker groups exploiting consumer hardware. This is very different than selling compromised, backdoored hardware.


Intent is of course tricky to prove, but there is overwhelming evidence that’s Chinese government views the role of Chinese companies in the consumer electronics supply chain as a strategic, exploitable asset.

> Huawei has a history of IP theft and security incidents related to backdoors and malware going back nearly 20 years.

> ZTE has been accused of including unusual backdoors in some products and was caught selling equipment containing U.S. technology to Iran and North Korea, in violation of trade agreements. … Security researchers, however, noted that the backdoors were “highly unusual” and appeared intentional because they were supporting software updates.

It’s still there; it’s just nowhere near as popular. The Classic theme is what you’re looking for.


Very interesting to see the workers in yellow presumably cleaning and manually plugging in the cars to charge.


All of the usernames being directly related to the headlines is uncanny.
