Some fun with interfaces and protocols: I have a ThinkCentre m910q which has a single NVMe M.2 interface. I want to connect a PCIe M.2 device. I know that SATA M.2 only supports the SATA protocol. Will a PCIe device work on an NVMe M.2 interface? Or is the answer to that question "it depends"?

Found a real-world difference between Claude Haiku 4.5 and Sonnet 4.5 today. As an experiment, I posed a question to it that I had gotten wrong a couple years ago. The question requires knowledge of TLS protocol details and thinking through their implications. Sonnet 4.5 caught the trap immediately (faster than I did back when I had the idea), Haiku 4.5 missed it, even when explicitly asked to think about the details of the TLS protocol.
So, yeah, it's not just differences in abstr…

It's kinda a wild fact that there are these Internet Protocols that are used extremely widely, but knowledge how they work is scarce.
For reasons, I just wondered a few things about OCSP. That's part of TLS, and, idk, most people would probably attribute "knowledge of TLS" to me.
Yet... I kinda know what OCSP does, but... I don't really know how the protocol works.
And if I google for something like "easy explanation of OCSP", I don't find a…

Fun fact, your computer doesn't have USB ports (USB is a protocol, not a connector).
Funner fact, even if your computer has USB-C receptacles it might not be using any type of USB as protocol for a specific connection.
Funnest fact, there's at least a dozen different types of cables that use USB-C plugs with various capabilities, sometimes mutually incompatible and often silently falling back to slower protocols.
Tee Higgins back in concussion protocol after returning twice vs. Bills, raising questions about NFL's process
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/tee-higgins-co…
#Gentoo #jobserver revealed another problem with steve in particular, and (I believe) the jobserver protocol in general: blocking clients are prioritized over polling clients.
The problem is simple: when handling blocking reads, steve can issue a job token immediately. When handling a poll, it merely indicates that a token is available, and the client must issue another read request to get it. So if tokens are scarce and there are both blocking and polling clients running, the former are likely to be taking all the incoming tokens.
My idea of working around this is to implement temporary reservations. If a client polls for a token, we reserve one for it. The reserved token can afterwards be only read by the same client. This way, both blocking and polling clients get a token — the former get it immediately, the latter get it reserved for them. And if there are no tokens available, both get into a single FIFO queue, for a poor man's round-robin (steve also throttles all reads to one token at a time).
However, polls technically don't guarantee that the client will eventually read the token, so we need to handle reservation expirations as well.

Rob Gaskell of Sundial is presenting on a layer two protocol designed to enable bitcoin to generate yield.
Most bitcoin is still, in long term hodl. Not helping anyone.
Sure, you could lend your bitcoin for interest but that would count as a tax event and also involve losing custody.
What if a programmable sidechain to help with scaling, allow borrowing and lending and products retail and institutions like?
His solution is called Sundial and doesn't need new protocol changes or forks.
Hard to say what it actually does though? Presumably something like liquidity in sidechains? Didn't really seem to get what he actually is building. 🤷

I fixed the typoed atu_unr_limit and now the ATU is working, translating accesses to the 0x1000_0000 AXI space to configuration reads and writes in the PCIe bus.
But the data is always zero. I'm trying to write 0x41410000 to the BAR and it comes out as zeroes, and while the protocol analyzer shows me successfully reading 1327:1c5c which is the VID/PID of my test SSD, it comes out as zero on the AXI side.
