The talk tacks into many of the themes that @ahl and I have discussed over the years,; on the next episode of Oxide an d Friends, Scott is going to join us to elaborate on the talk, and to reflect on the promises of tech -- both where it has delivered (not insignificant!) and where it has fallen short. Join us, Monday, 5p Pacific:

“[I]t’s hard to find the dumb money when you are, in fact, the dumb money.”
As long-promised, @ahl and I are going to revisit an adventure in data corruption from two years ago, one ultimately due to a (slight) difference of opinion about how the CPU should operate with respect to speculative TLB loads. Join us, 5p Pacific today!
Matt CampbellThere was recently an article about using salvaged Sun Ray thin clients with a modern server. @bcantrill's response to that article on Hacker News mentioned his story about using DTrace to debug a performance problem on a Sun Ray server. He linked to a paper he wrote for Usenix, but I prefer his extended telling in this 2007 talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgmA48fILq8&t=35m6s
