CarPlay supports that, the car just needs to pass it through. I believe Ford and Toyota both do.

The original article is here, and it unfortunately is just as confusing: https://www.reuters.com/business/intel-ceo-says-company-will...

Of course Intel has been designing and selling GPUs for years, I guess Lip-Bu means they're going to start manufacturing them as well? Or they're going to be data-center focused now?


Since he was touting that they recently hired a well-known GPU architect, it seems unlikely that this is merely about them using their own fabs for discrete GPUs instead of having integrated GPUs being the only ones they fab themselves. Some kind of shift in product strategy or reboot of their GPU architecture development seems more likely, if there's anything of substance underlying the news at all.

But this news is somehow even less comprehensible and believable than usual for Intel, whose announcements about their future plans have a tenuous connection to reality on a good day.


Are you talking about Starliner? Starliner's 2 flights have been problematic to say the least, but Orion's single (uncrewed) flight went pretty well.


And Lockheed and Airbus are the prime contractors on Orion, not Boeing.


Yeah, totally borked that one up. Apologies to the Orion team for erroneously tagging them with Boeing's baggage.


Various anticheat/DRM schemes actually do direct syscalls on Windows, so Proton has patches that use seccomp to trap them and jump to the intended Nt* syscall. There was actually a feature added to the Linux kernel a few years ago (syscall user dispatch) so that Wine could stop using seccomp for this, but Wine is still not using it.

Upstream Wine also supports direct syscalls on x86_64 macOS. macOS syscall numbers have a high bit set, so Windows syscall numbers (0 to ~300) are invalid macOS syscalls, that triggers SIGSYS, and then Wine jumps to the Nt* syscall.


How are they explaining away the fact that the Japanese male astronaut asked for a consult with the flight surgeon on the public loop (a video which NASA has since removed from YouTube)?


There's no basis to such claims in the first place and they don't engage with substantive discussion. It's just more flooding of the zone.


Everyone on the ISS needs to have a seat reserved for them in a docked spacecraft, in case they need to evacuate the station quickly (or for a medical issue like this). You can’t bring back just one person from a 4-person crew; the other 3 would have no way to leave.


The syscall numbers change with every release: https://j00ru.vexillium.org/syscalls/nt/64/


Syscall numbers shouldn't be a problem if you link against ntdll.dll.


So now you're talking about the ntdll.dll ABI instead of the kernel ABI. ntdll.dll is not the kernel.


NTDLL is NT’s kernel ABI, not syscalls. Nothing on Windows uses syscalls to call the kernel.

NTDLL isn’t some higher level library. It’s just a series of entry points into NT kernel.


Yes, the fact that functions in NTDLL issue a syscall instruction is a platform-specific implementation detail.


...isn't that the point of this entire subthread? The kernel itself doesn't provide the stable ABI, userland code that the binary links to does.


No. On NT, kernel ABI isn't defined by the syscalls but NTDLL. Win32 and all other APIs are wrappers on top of NTDLL, not syscalls. Syscalls are how NTDLL implements kernel calls behind the scenes, it's an implementation detail. Original point of the thread was about Win32, UWP and other APIs that build a new layer on top of NTDLL.

I argue that NT doesn't break its kernel ABI.


NTDLL APIs are very stable[0] and you can even compile and run x86 programs targeting NT 3.1 Build 340[1] which will still work on win11.

[0] as long as you don't use APIs they decided to add and remove in a very short period (longer read: https://virtuallyfun.com/2009/09/28/microsoft-fortran-powers...)

macOS and iOS too — syscalls aren’t stable at all, you’re expected to link through shared library interfaces.


> No

...and you go on to not disagree with me at all? Why comment then?


HDMI Ethernet Channel fizzled out and no devices ever supported it.


No. I had a Samsung TV which connects to the internet via the HDMI cable to my Nvidia Shield.


The stapled ticket is optional beyond notarization itself. If you notarize but don’t staple the ticket, users may need an internet connection to check the notarization status.


IMO, the benefits of an immutable OS install outweigh being able to uninstall/remove particular apps.


Apple makes excellent hardware (laptop, phone, mini...) to the point I'm willing to pay more for it, but I would prefer a lot to customize my SW. And so I avoid their hardware.


do the benefits of a closed-source OS outweigh being able to do whatever you want?
