It would seem that iMessage is an endless treasure trove of exploits. Is there any technical reason for this? Are iPhones simply more common among the wealther/powerful/influential? Or is this due to iMessage being present on all iPhones, whereas Android vendors can bundle their own SMS app?

Right, that was my point about the physical layout not really being conducive to NN-driven stabilization, on my cursory read.

Digging in, you could probably bitbang DShot on Orin GPIOs. It would be really sketchy since it's presumably running Linux on out-of-order cores with giant cache, so there's nothing close to realtime going on, but it's so damn fast that the theoretical problem probably doesn't matter and I bet it would work fine.

Orin also has "safety island" for ASIL applications which has lockstep Cortex-R52s. This would be ideal to run an integrated flight controller RTOS but it's supposedly fused off on consumer boards, lame. There's also a Cortex-R5 called "SPE" that could probably run a flight control RTOS as well.

Regardless of all of this theory craft, I was either totally wrong or accidentally right in two ways, depending on how you want to look at it: according to a sibling post, the STM32 board actually runs the NN-backed stabilization loop rather than a PID one! I've seen this done in research before but never in a meaningfully successful way, so I'm even more impressed now - as far as I can tell, it's _two_ novel solves, an actually working PID-or-better NN-based stabilization system on STM32 _and_ inside-out vision based flight planning for racing on the Nvidia board.

The reason is that most people wouldn't care about the actual thing happening. Mozilla chooses to frame things in a way that is more likely to motivate people to action, even if that means being vague or dishonest. In this case their point #2 is dishonest because it already works that way.

In the app there is a "Share" button at the top right. After clicking you see an interstitial with a big "Post" button at the bottom. When you click that button, the chat is shared.

I made a minimal event tracking tool. It's on GitHub here: https://github.com/orangecoloured/analog

After some time jumping between different tools, I stopped on the https://piratepx.com and then decided to make something that would be easy to self-host.

Currently, it's adapted only for Netlify. Still struggling with the Vercel deployment.

You do have a capacity to misread and draw the wrong conclusion. The emotional part of your original response refers to the “obnoxiously open” about her identity statement and your ending sentence regarding polyamorous anarchists being better about things. Your biases interfered with your interpretation of what she wrote. Your original post would have been much better had you kept these parts out of your response.

Everywhere is in a downturn. ZIRP is over, this isn't limited to automotive. Just because you're not going to be hired within a few days of looking doesn't mean that everything is doom and gloom. Automotive software engineers aren't working for poverty wages.

You don't outright lose years of experience writing C and C++ just because you learned Ada. You're not going to leave a decade of C experience off your resume just because it wasn't the primary language in your last position. Ada isn't for frontend web development where new "technology" gets chewed up and spat out every year or two. It shines in firmware. There's plenty of vendors that haven't moved past C99.

Chalking up a hypothetical appreciable Ada marketshare in automotive as "niche stuff only used in the auto industry" doesn't make sense in that it sees plenty of use in aerospace, defense, and medical. The point of me bringing up AUTOSAR is that Ada is nowhere close to the pigeonhole scenario that AUTOSAR is.

In the world where you only have Ada experience, and you're not a bad programmer, but HR departments are giving you grief, just lie on your resume. Fuck em. We both know that it's not a major adjustment, so brush up on details before you're interviewed and if they asked what you used C/C++ just say you're not at liberty to speak about it. Nobody is going to hit you with anything along the lines of whether or not it's true that monads are just monoids in the category of endofunctors.

> RISC-V is newer but my understanding is it's still based around ARM, just without royalties (and thus isn't bringing many new ideas to the table per say)

RISC-V is the fifth version of a series of academic chip designs at Berkeley (hence it's name).

In terms of design philosophy, it's probably closest to MIPS of the major architectures; I'll point out that some of its early whitepapers are explicitly calling out ARM and x86 as the kind of architectural weirdos to avoid emulating.

This whole case is even more stupid when you take in to account how NYT's paywall is implemented. Anyone can bypass it just by refreshing the page and stopping it immediately after contents become visible.

I don't know what ChatGPT uses to browse web but it wouldn't surprise me if it repeated stuff from those paid articles because it uses wget or something similar that doesn't support js and therefore the paywalls weren't effective.

> Your statement that “The Truth is a perturbation of existential reality” is poetic but undefined—ironically mirroring the vagueness you accuse others of.

Existential reality is everything physicists devote themselves to measuring.

Every “perturbation” no matter how small or fleeting is a measurable aspect of existential reality.

Existential Reality is what exists. Nothing exists which does not exist in existential reality. “All else is in the void of lie.”

That is the definition of Truth.

That which is truly True is something existentially bound to the present (or the past by forensic examination or direct account.)

There is no other Truth.

All else Man thinks is “true” is a measure by approximation in their minds.

Good day sir! Enjoy your consciousness.

I was kind of hoping it would be for text based adventures,

since last night I had the idea for one,

where you're an adult and you have to do adult things

like file taxes and go to work and dust your house

and the less you do these things the harder life gets,

but the more you do them, the easier it gets,

and the goal of the game is to die with no debt.

Sorry, b/c the question mark is outside the parens I read that as the end of the sentence.

Then I refer to my comment on prism: "if you want to protect data from the government, prism etc, you're SOOL, no one can stop them cheating. let's focus on big-/tech/-startup cheats."

Though you talk about "backing" escrow, I mean regulating. The government otherwise controls all business and society. How is it any different to the banks, sec companies etc in that respect.

After trying the app, it's hard for me to interpret this article as anything other than Mozilla lying. Sharing in this app is the same as any other social media app.

In the app there is a "Share" button at the top right. After clicking you see an interstitial with a big "Post" button at the bottom. When you click that button, the chat is shared.

Am I seeing something different than anybody else? Why would Mozilla lie like this? Most of the "demands" are already satisfied.

> Shut down the Discover feed until real privacy protections are in place.

Everything is already private by default and you can see what is public.

This is true already

Meta shouldn't have to do this

> Create a universal, easy-to-use opt-out system for all Meta platforms that prevents user data from being used for AI training.

This already exists (EDIT, looks like only for EU users. Personally I don't believe this is related to the public sharing claims)

Just look at Louisiana for a second.

There are hispanic creoles, native american creoles, german creoles, italian creoles, so forth and so on. Because to be a Louisiana creole isn't to rely on any racial marker at all. It just signifies that your ancestors lived here at a particular time.

So if someone says that they're Cajun, not creole, they're lying to you. ALL cajuns, without exception, are creole.

And most people who claim to be Cajun are either not Cajun at all or they've mistaken their surname for being Cajun. Like a guy who told me I was wrong about a food item and he knew better because he's a Cajun, being a Champagne from Golden Meadow.

Only problem is that Champagne isn't a cajun surname. The Champagne family came over directly from France.

You might have seen Isaac Toups on TV hawking a cookbook. The Toups surname is actually German (originally spelled Dubs but the French authorities did their thing), and they landed in the US in 1718-19 in Biloxi, MS.

And so on, and so on...

I think that some "cajuns" would be more willing to call themselves creole if they knew that in addition to the native americans, the other group that saved their asses when they came to the territory were the German creoles. Those people had it far, far harsher than the Acadian disapora ever did. When they got to the territory, they were not allowed to use beasts of burden for a full decade. This means that when they were dropped off and told to go farm rice (which none of them had ever done before), they had to till their fields and deliver their product to New Orleans from the River Parishes, up to 60 miles away without horses. By the time the Cajuns got here, there were plenty of horses for working the land and other livestock that you were legally allowed to eat.

Anyway, that's just one little speck of a much larger ethnic pie.

They aren't warning Australia as a threat, they are making a very valid argument:

> Apple claims that allowing sideloading and alternative app stores effectively opens the door for malware, fraud, scams, and other harmful content.

You don't want random apps on your phone. The App Store vets apps thoroughly to ensure there's no malware. It would be virtually impossible to do the same for arbitrary apps getting side loaded.

I don't know why but I have the feeling that a huge amount of money (NVIDIA worth trillions, billions dumped into LLM-based companies) is supported by a single idea that might eventually be replaced by a completely different paradigm or by a new approach to LLMs that could make all of this worth nothing in a matter of months.

To be clear, I’m not saying this isn’t a super impactful idea and I actually think it's a revolution. Since Attention Is All You Need came out in 2017, everything has changed fast but it’s just that I also feel that another breakthrough from research could appear in a similar way.

> In the UK at least, researchers have many options for research fellowships of 3-5 years, paid, many with total academic freedom to do whatever you like

Perhaps in theory. But surely you're not going to get the next fellowship (or other academic role) unless you have shown some demonstrable output at the end of this one? That's still at least some level of pressure to try something safer but incremental rather than risky but potentially groundbreaking.

It is mindblowing how AMD managed to squeeze such a powerful iGPU (essentially a low-end dGPU) into an APU while much more energy efficient compared to a dGPU (and thus requires less heat sink = more compact).

Of course the major problem about Strix Halo is the price. I'm just wondering how much the iGPU contributed to the insane price tag compared to the NPU. If AMD can release a similar APU without the useless NPU (at least in Linux) with a more accessible pricing (e.g. 8745HS), they can easily dominate the low-end mobile dGPU market.

reading too deeply into it, it's basically an interjection. it doesn't refer to any meaningful facet of objective reality, it only exists according to the socio-political hallucinations of americans. doesn't matter if it's said positively or negatively, it's just a virtue signal long devoid of meaning. a bird's mating dance, if you will, but for burger-eaters.

How about making access to the games fairly priced and easily accessible?

Streaming services have dramatically reduced piracy by making it way easier and way cheaper than ever before to consume content.

I don't live in Europe, but if it is like US sports, you need to jump through hoops, pay through the nose, and have 14 different accounts to watch all the sports you want.

I'm far from an expert here, but these days, it's better to view the instruction set as a frontend to the actual implementation. You can see this with Intel's E/P cores; the instructions are the same, but the chips are optimized differently.

There actually have been changes for "today's needs," and they're usually things like AES acceleration. ARM tried to run Java natively with Jazelle, but it's still best to think of it as a frontend, and the fact that Android is mostly Java and ARM, but this feature got dropped says a lot.

The fact that there haven't been that many changes shows they got the fundamental operations and architecture styles right. What's lacking today is where GPUs step in: massively wide SIMD.

I work at a place that's very much in the spirit of Bell Labs — CableLabs — a nonprofit R&D organization that serves the global cable industry. It’s been a pretty unique experience, especially coming from a background in product development, where everything revolves around ship dates, KPIs, roadmaps, and making your manager look good to his manager's manager :eyeroll:.

Here, there are no product managers, barely any formal management, and a remarkably flat structure. Most of the day-to-day work revolves around filing patents, writing papers, speaking at conferences, and building rapid prototypes that push the boundaries of what's technically possible, often years ahead of commercialization. In some ways, it feels like stepping into a time capsule of what R&D used to be: curiosity-driven, deeply technical, and untethered from the usual metrics, as opposed to today's modern R&D miasma aimed only at sand-bagging products/results to nab VC funding and then cash out.

But the catch: our funding rises and falls with the cable industry. When times are good, we explore bleeding-edge ideas in areas like low-latency transport, advanced Wi-Fi features like Wi-Fi sensing, quantum-key distribution over fiber, and next-gen access networks. When times are tight (like now), there’s a sharper focus on short-term, directly applicable work — sometimes even jumping in to help operators troubleshoot real-world deployment issues. It creates this strange duality where one week you're working on a speculative 10-year-out idea, and the next you're neck-deep in production firmware because a partner needs help _today_.

It's a fascinating place to work, but it does raise an interesting question: can long-term innovation really thrive when it's so tightly coupled to a volatile and risk-averse industry? Bell Labs had Ma Bell’s monopoly cash to float moonshots. We’ve got a much leaner model, and the priorities shift accordingly. Sure, we've got Comcast in our pockets, but our R&D charter states that no one member can dominate our funding or priorities: we're split among hundreds of members and vendors, and they all seem coupled to one another economically, so if the industry takes a dip, so do we. I’d be curious how others in applied R&D spaces manage that tension between visionary research and near-term deliverables.

I'm with you. But it doesn't work 100%.

I dumped Meta probably a decade ago, and anyone who wants to get in touch with me does so through e-mail.

But I still have two relatives stuck on FB Messenger. Even if I contact them via SMS, they still respond to my dormant account in FB Messenger, because Messenger is where all of their friends are. To them, it's the only messaging app, and have no idea why it doesn't work sending messages to me.

You're conflating the existence of specific privacy protections in narrow legal domains with a generalized, enforceable right to privacy which doesn't exist in US law. The Constitution recognizes a substantive right to privacy, but only in carefully defined areas like reproductive choice, family autonomy, and intimate conduct, and critically only against state actors. Citing Griswold, Lawrence, and related cases does not establish a sweeping privacy right enforceable against private companies.

Common law requires a high threshold of offensiveness and are adjudicated on a case-by-case in individual jurisdictions. They offer only remedies and not a proactive right to control your data.

The original point, that there is no general right in the US to have your interactions with a company remain private, still stands. That's not a denial of all privacy rights but a recognition that US law fails to provide comprehensive privacy protection.

The first amendment gives them the right to literally be capricious and malevolent in their hosting choices.

Your right is that, if you don't like it, you cannot be forced to use it.

And that is true. Nebula exists because all those people were getting fucked by Google's capricious actions. Armchair historian made his own platform because Google wont pay you ad dollars if you show actual historical war footage, because god forbid you learn history.

Youtube is not a platform where anyone can say anything. There's no such thing as a "digital town square" that is owned by a private company. Even real, actual, public squares have some limits on speech nowadays.

If you want some sort of digital public square where anyone could host literally any video content, it will be funded by taxes and run by the government.

I would however hold strong support for reforms that limit the shenanigans and nonsense in Terms of Use. You shouldn't be able to put utterly unenforceable or even illegal things into a Terms of Use without penalty. Contract law has a principle of separability that means Google can put literally as many scary, illegal, unenforceable claims into it's contracts and a court would still enforce it, just without those specific parts. That gives Google a huge incentive to put even impossible things into their ToU hoping you will buy that they could enforce it, even when they know they cannot.

I also think it should not be possible to make a contract that says "we can update this at any time and change everything about it without your consent" just entirely. All contract revisions should require mutual consent.

IIUC, ToU have also just not been tested in court very well. So we should stop beating around the bush and just make a real legal framework for them.

Oncall devs, say goodbye to 2 AM pages on a Saturday.

Poseidon v0.1 analyzes past incidents, logs, metrics, and ops history to suggest root causes (demo in README).

In the next version, Poseidon will hook up to more tools in your org with MCP, and along with the summary, will send a "stop loss" button in your Slack message.

This stop loss button can: 1. revert a faulty config 2. revert a faulty release 3. turn off a feature flag 4. purge queues, etc

Integrating with netflix/dispatch will make this more powerful.

Looking for feedback on the concept, code, and how to make this more universal!

The scope of the data access required by the court is being worked out via due process. That’s why there’s an appeal system. OpenAI is just grandstanding in a public forum so that their customers don’t defect.

When it comes to GDPR, courts have generally taken the stance that GDPR is not overruling.

Ironburg Inventions, Ltd. v. Valve Corp.

Finjan, Inc. v. Zscaler, Inc.

Corel Software, LLC v. Microsoft

Rollins Ranches, LLC v. Watson

In none of these cases was a GDPR fine issued.

Some of what I am about to say is highlighted in this article but I think it should be restated:

The Adam came with a dot matrix printer. All in one giant box. I know because I found one at the flea for $30 once, and I had to carry it for a mile to the car. Very heavy and awkward.

To turn on the Adam, first, you plug the printer into the wall, then you plug the computer into the printer. Then you make absolutely sure there is nothing in the tape drive. Then you turn it on.

If you had a tape in the tape drive when you turned it on, so much juice went through the thing that it demagnetized anything in the drive. Back then, using audio tapes to hold data was revolutionary, in terms of storage space and price. The payoff, however, was that it was slower than anything you've ever used in the modern day. It could take 30 minutes to load something into the system through a tape.

So imagine waiting all that time, and then finding out it just doesn't work (no error message, just a hung machine) because you left the tape in the drive when you turned it on. You'd basically have to leave the thing on and loading for hours before finally giving up because of lost data.

This thing came with a Buck Rogers game, and that's what everyone wanted to play. The Coleco (formerly a Leather company) folks were overflowed with complaints and angry phone calls as everyone and their mother put that tape in and fired it up, first thing. An absolute travesty of a computer, all the way around the block.
