No, I'm not wrong, and you can stop spreading this sort of nonsense any time. Do you honestly think Drugs are illegal in every country in the world because people other than you are stupid?
Typical plausible deniability story.

Somewhere in my archive is a declassified doc from I believe the CIA about putting a dead man in a car and then (RC) crashing it. Just tried to find it... maybe someone else has the link. Either way, it's painfully obvious that was a hit. He emailed close confidants right before about needing to go off the radar because of a dangerous story.
The submitted paper is well-written and appears to be correct, but it is far too short.

No reference is made to previous attempts to study Euler's conjecture or similar conjectures (there are surely a dozen other papers that ought to be cited in the introduction).

What led the authors to consider a computer search as opposed to any other approach? Does the method generalize?

It is indicated that the CDC 6600 was used. How was the programming done? How long time did the execution take? The instance is claimed to be "the smallest". In what norm? How can you be sure that the computer program did not skip any smaller examples?

The most serious problem with the paper, however, is that the only contribution is a purely computational statement which, though a counterexample to a conjecture, does not advance mathematical theory in any way.

Due to these shortcomings, my recommendation to the editor is to REJECT the submission.
Really? Then why are drugs illegal in, say, Norway? Or Japan? Racism?
AFAIK this is incorrect the simulator runs x86/x86-64 binaries and links against x86/x86-64 versions of Apple's frameworks (including UIKit). There is no translation of syscalls happening, the instruction for a syscall, e.g SVC 0x80 on ARM wouldn't be happening in your binary but in a framework your binary (indirectly) links to.

Also the simulator is basically an x86 version of iOS, look inside for yourself and see. Someone correct me here but I don't see why it would be impossible to for apple to ship a simulator for Windows, n.b. how MS has shipped the Linux ABI translation.

For Intel, it's a enterprise marketing bullet, for the rest of us it's an opportunity to secure our systems the way we want, however that capacity has been denied us.

The ideal security mechanism would provide us with a per cpu key from Intel, which we use to update our own user key to the cpu, and only user signed firmware is loaded.

The exact mechanism of this can be handled in many ways.

Right now, we locked out, and primed for being snooped on without our consent.

I like Intel's engineering, but everything else I could do without.

And ARM is no better. I'd say worse actually, but I'm not going to defend that.

Please, please, AMD do the "right thing" with Zen. Allow us to be in command of our security, so we may delegate it to those we trust with the technical know how, be it OS vendors, or our IT departments, or our own selves.
Curious to see the reply-all thread that ensues.
Simcity was developed for the C64 originally and was released at the same time on the Mac and the Amiga.
I think "exhaustive search" is a misnomer here, as one obviously cannot exhaustively search the integers. (Unless we might say the machine gets exhausted.)

I think that if the hurdle of using OSX to develop for Apple platforms is so high to one that they'd describe it as "fundamentally developer hostile", then yes.

It just doesn't make sense to me why anyone thinks they're entitled to have Apple build and support a complex developer toolchain on their platform of choice, and if Apple doesnt, it's a sign of "hostility".

I don't think Apple wants that person building for their platforms. As an apple user and developer, neither do I.

I don't support Trump's plans regarding tariffs / trade, however he is also supporting slashing the extremely non-competitive US corporate tax rate. Doing that - bringing it down to levels comparable to European rivals - would instantly make the US a lot more attractive to operate in.

And unfortunately while Bill Clinton strongly supports slashing the corporate tax rate, Hillary is just as strongly opposed to doing so.
This is my take on the subject as a person who has worked professionally in FM radio regulatory compliance in the USA.

The FCC's approach to regulation of the electromagnetic spectrum is that it is a "common good", i.e. it is rivalrous but non-excludable. In their view, nobody has a right to use the spectrum in the USA. They grant licenses to use it, and they can tell you how to use the spectrum you are licensed to use.

Apparently, there were documented problems with WiFi radios being operated outside of their licensed parameters and interfering with safety critical airport radar systems.

It's probably too late to persuade them to change their minds. The public response to this topic was voluminous. They received way more comments than they usually do, but they still chose this approach.

If you care, you should choose to support hardware vendors that make the effort to separate the WiFi radio from the main system, allowing you to install your own firmware.
Since both users mentioned were the last in the list of addresses for the email they received, my money's on a trivial mistake like:

I typically prefer a high level of polymorphism in my code/APIs (sensibly handling single inputs vs. arrays) but this is a great counter-example even if not the actual root cause. Every feature is also a liability. Double edged sword. Etc.
I've argued both sides of this. I don't believe in the absolutist case in either direction.

If someone's making a plausible and reasonably consistent, and especially not self-serving case that they hold, or don't hold, some belief, I'll generally allow them to own it. I'll especially allow them to own it in preference to another party with a specific, partisan, self-serving, and most especially, non-credible axe to grind in denying that self-labeling.

That said, if the self-claim is grossly inconsistent, self-serving, and implausible, I'll deny it.

I'm not judging the current case either way. I'm not a fan of Gawkers, but am also hugely concerned with the precedent Thiel's made here.

Coursera actually converted a course I was enrolled in to paid-quizzes-only, while I was actively enrolled in the course and on the second to last week of eight. They finally converted it back after 2 days of many of us contacting support but never gave me a straight answer as to whether it was accidentally or intentional :-/ Definitely lost my faith in Coursera as a platform over these recent changes.

Ask HN: How do you manage social media?
It has occurred to me that almost every programmer has a presence on Twitter. I've tried using Twitter, and I just find it as a time sink (not unlike browsing Hacker News). How do people manage to engage their followers on Twitter while working a full-time job and contributing to dozens of open source projects and having a family and, and...?

I always want to spend most of my spare time either programming or reading, and I still feel like I don't have enough time for those things.
> some modicum of common sense when reading the numbers on The Benchmark Game

yes, this involves checking what the benchmarks are actually measuring. In this case, it is how much faster SIMD makes things. Factor that in, or rewrite the programs with SIMD in rust, and it should come out to be the same.

> But it appears that it have.

Have you not been listening? It doesn't. The speed differences you quote are due to simd. Rust has simd support, just not in a non-nightly compiler.
You certainly have made a lot of assumptions about me. I did test in other browsers - Chrome, obviously, and Firefox. But the fact that it works in Chrome and Firefox doesn't excuse the fact that it doesn't work in Safari. I'm a web developer, so it's my job to make things work correctly in all the browsers, Safari included, so from my perspective the creator of the page did a bad job.

Worse, it wasn't something fancy that it's understandable isn't supported in older browsers - it was scrolling, something that literally every web browser ever has been able to do.

Finally, as a web developer and as someone that has used Safari as his primary browser for many years, I rarely have an issue with Safari being "buggy and inferior". You may not get cool new APIs first, but Safari is usually pretty solid and bug-free with the ones it does support.
I don't know if this reflects poorly on Uber or current taxi legislation.

Living in Québec I've never had a bad experience with taxi drivers the way people seem to have in NYC, etc. Uber was still far better, if anything just for how proud some drivers were of being part of it. The lower barrier of entry seemed like a positive thing overall.

A nice woman drove me once, offered me starburst candy and a bottle of water, both of which were in a basket in the back seat. Made my day extra nice.

Which is rather bizarre, considering the majority of Intel's modems ship with multiple ARM cores (One in the X-Gold baseband, and another running the "application" firmware implementing mbim/qmi/whatever.)
Well, yeah, Rust hit stable in 2015. Its a new language, that's when those benchmarks were first written or fixed to work with the stable compiler.

Trust me, most of the C solutions there are very hand-optimized. Less than the rust ones in some cases.

While Rust may need that marketing, C folks have had years of time to play the benchmarks game. And there are many more C programmers than Rust programmers. I think enough effort is going into those C programs.

Like I said, in practice Rust code sometimes is faster than (otherwise it is as fast as) C code because it is easy to write the fast version using zero cost abstractions.

(the benchmarks game is a different realm of optimization, in day to day usage you do not spend that much effort eking out every last cycle; you write code that doesn't have major perf issues and use it)
A similar deal was Naspers buying 45% of Tencent for $34 million (current size of stake is around 34%), worth roughly $70 billion.
Oil rigs producing as much light a large city does not seem unlikely at all to me. The Prudhoe Bay oil field in the north of Alaska has always stood out in its disproportionate brightness and size in any night-view of the earth I've seen (and light pollution is the least of our worries when it comes to this place's environmental impact).

That being said, oil fields being overly visible might be a symptom that they used data based on satellites capturing slightly lower frequencies (near infrared) rather than precisely representing visible light. I know I've seen night maps of the earth that turned out to be based on near-IR imagery.
I never liked Coursera because they offered classes only sometimes... I know a "real classroom" experience is what they were going after but it sucks finding a great looking course that will be offered a year later or worse, no upcoming dates.

Sad to see they're going to downhill though.
I only buy toyota vehicles. Our household and immediate family are toyota owners (at least one per household, two at mine). I'm not a fanboy though. The cars are cheap to operate and last a long time. Plus the resale value is decent. They are boring cars though. Absolute appliances. Unless its an scion frs or a high performance lexus (or supra if you can afford it).
C and C++ libraries can use ELF symbol versioning.

Say you have a function like

int foo_do(struct foo *, int);

but to fix a bug and/or tweak the API you change it to

long foo_do(struct foo *, int, int);

then ELF symbol versioning allows you to do

__asm__(".symver foo_do_v1_1,foo_do@@v1.1");
long foo_do_v1_1(struct foo *F, int arg1, int arg2) {
...
}

__asm__(".symver foo_do_v1_0,foo_do@v1.0");
int foo_do_v1_0(struct foo *F, int arg1) {
long rv = foo_do_v1_1(F, arg1, 0);
assert(rv >= INT_MIN && rv <= INT_MAX);
return rv;
}

where the runtime linker will link foo_do_v1_0 as foo_do for programs originally compiled against the v1.0 release, while programs built against v1.1 will be linked to foo_do_v1_1. You can do this as often as you want, though you can't generally go back further than when you first began using ELF symbol versioning to compile and release libfoo. You only need to add an ELF .symver alias for functions that have multiple aliases, but you do need to at least enable versioning (usually by specifying a version file with a catchall "*" entry which tag functions not explicitly aliased) at the point you begin maintaining a stable ABI.

glibc is pretty much the only major library that makes use of this capability, despite the fact that it's been around for well over a decade. Most developers simply don't have the foresight or interest in providing rigorous forward and backward ABI and API compatibility. Partly that's because in the open source world, recompiling packages is much easier than in the proprietary world. And especially in the Windows world (where the CRT was never forward or backward compatible) you often packaged dependencies with your software, even if dynamically linked. And so newer languages like Go and Rust are being built with the presumption that both recompiling and bundled dependencies are the norm--it's what people are doing anyhow, and it simplifies the compiler and its runtime. That it's sad that this is the norm is beside the matter.

> there's still an ARM core in every smartphone, whether Intel fabs it (they don't), or Samsung, or TSMC

ALMOST true, but not entirely true.

The Asus Zenphone 2 shipped with an Intel Atom SoC and was actually a pretty decent mid-range smartphone.
Yes, I meant perfect anonymity.

If we consider imperfect anonymity, we need to consider more than the size of the anonymity set, we need to consider how likely it is a given coin in the anonymity set is the actual one we are hiding. This is a bayesian thing that depends on that attackers prior knowledge. For many coins it may be vanishingly close to zero. Which means they don't really contribute to the anonymity set. Which means you can end up with a large looking anonymity set that is equivalent to a perfect anonymity set of say 5 coins.

How big is the anonymity set for a given CryptoNote transaction? You might think it 1) clearly is at least the size of all the coins in the tx and 2) actually it's the union of those coins anonymity sets. But what are the probabilities? I don't know. But consider a few possible issues.

If you sample the coins in the mixing set for your tx uniformly from the whole blockchain, than
many of them will be very old, but the actual coin you are spending is likely new. This also applies to the sets you are taking the union of. Couple this with other issues such as long term intersection attacks, and it gets very hard to say how much anonymity you really have. Especially because we don't know what techniques the companies that are doing coin tracing have and more significantly, what third party data they are correlating with beyond just the blockchain. Perfect anonymity and very large anonymity sets is the best defense we have against this stuff.
> That or they do not understand how wide open the Ubuntu defaults are.

Fair enough. I'd love to learn. What threats does the firewall even defend against?

> The default on Ubuntu should be like all other linux distros where where all unsolicited incoming connections are blocked.

I don't understand why I should care. Evil hackers can send all they want, but the only things listening on my end should be those that I explicitly installed or enabled. The firewall seems redundant as the set of running applications and my set of firewall exceptions should match exactly.
It's hard to say. Were there fewer alcoholics during prohibition? Were there more after it was repealed? Was it statistically significant? I'm not sure, but it would be a pretty damn good case study.

The problem I have is that the US is so hard headed, they double down whenever something doesn't work rather than reevaluate. The US has been doubling down on the drug war every administration since the 1970s. The solution has been significantly more harmful than the problem since the 80s, and yet they keep doubling down. Sounds like we just doubled down again with painkillers. It's madness.

I own a saturn Aura (same platform as the Malibu and G6), and I find that the parts are cheap, readily available in aftermarket form, and easy to replace. Yes, I did have to do the wheel bearing ... but it took me an hour and a half, end-to-end. Super easy hub design to repair, and the entire hub cost me $40. I compared prices brand-to-brand for a 2007 Camry, and the camry hubs seem to run about $30 more than the hubs for my '07 Aura.

Anyway, I also wonder if people who prefer certain makes or models are more likely to do their own work, also skewing their reliability data.
And thats why i think KDE back in the day, before plasma and all that bling, had the right idea. The basic behavior emulated Windows 9x pretty closely, thus anyone passably familiar with Windows could jump right in and use KDE.

This in turn lessened the transition friction, as people try to do something but do not find it where they expect it from memory.
Those are solid. The Windsor 302 engine is bulletproof. They are actually swapped into mustangs because they have a set of better flowing engine heads (named gt40p) and intake/exhaust manifolds.

Apple doesn't make chips or anything else imo. They outsource it. Just to be accurate.
I don't think that Android would have had better apps if Android developer tools were Mac-only. The reason behind the Play Store/App Store quality difference has more to do with the way the store is run, the system frameworks (Core Animation vs. the Java frameworks, etc.), and the inclination of users to purchase apps.
> If I'm not holding it in my hands, right now, it doesn't make the list.

I don't see why things that are used during manufacture but do not end up in your hand should be excluded. The question being asked in that section of the article is whether or not the product could be produced entirely with materials and labor from the US, and so everything involved in making it should count.
> static analyzers

Rust doesn't exactly need these, no? Most static analysis in C/++ is safety/UB focused. Rust doesn't need this, unless you're going to spend a lot of time with `unsafe` code.

Rust does have clippy, a lint library with >150 lints which catch things ranging from correctness to style to safety issues. I'm one of the maintainers, so I'm biased, but I've personally found it to be much better than its equivalents in C++land. Perhaps not Javaland.
