I suspect the website optimizes for giving you the most desirable matches first to give you hope that you can match with people like that. Thus it follows some sort of a power law, where the most desirable options get the most matches, and everybody else gets whatever they can get. Yes, there's talk of ELO score, but I haven't seen evidence of that much in practice.
Its a neat thing, the software left behind as monument to a men.
Patterns and paradigms can be taught easily on the job, and can be overly specific. The "advanced programming" course teaches genuine problem solving. Breaking down a problem into it's mathematical components to develop an optimal solution. It builds you into a good engineer, not a programmer that can spit out patterns to fit a problem.

It is totally awesome that function similarity is seeing the light of day. Google bought Zynamics way back when and their work has evolved a lot since then.

This sort of work has big implications in signature generation for malware samples, for clustering families of samples as well as finding common functions to generate detections on. You couldn't necessarily throw this into a detection engine, because we don't have a fast (dedicated) function recovery tool for binaries, but you can absolutely use it to generate byte based detection from a seed of a few samples.

Rather than having hash based signatures you could generate signatures that cover many samples (and likely new ones) in bulk. Normally a good signature like that requires manual effort from an analyst, this is a step toward machines doing it. As well, a central authoritative name database that could say "this is Petya" could force some sane naming convention on the industry (every AV wouldn't just be like "it's Zbot lol").

This stuff can even aid manual reverse engineering. You could build a function naming database that uses this. Maybe a new engine for Talos FIRST. [1] Then if you opened up a file without debug symbols this could match it to known functions and really speed up reverse engineering efforts.

I look forward to reading it in more detail tomorrow. Thanks to Halvar for putting this out.

Well come on now... F11?
I'm not sure what you're purporting to show other than two people disagreeing with each other, without providing evidence... Sure, an individual subway car has "more capacity," but does a subway system have more capacity? For example, I rarely see BART trains come within five minutes of each other. A tunnel that allows cars within 10 seconds of each other could provide more capacity than a tunnel with higher-density trains spaced further apart. Average density across the tunnel system could be higher (aka more throughout) with autonomous vehicles even if individual transport units have lower density (SUVs instead of train cars).

Off the top of my head, here are issues train cars face with managing density that autonomous vehicles wouldn't face:

1. Needing to stop at stations where few people are getting on or off, meaning that trains behind you must be at least (MAX_SPEED * STOP_TIME) behind you. With cheap tunnel boring + AVs, you can quickly and cheaply build tunnel branches that skip exits, so individual cars need less space between them (you branch off to exit; no need for extra rails or switching technology, since it's built into the cars).

2. Entrance/exit from the train car: with trains, any jerk can run in as the doors are closing, preventing the train from leaving, backing up the trains behind you and leaving a huge gap with trains in front of you. With AVs, you're already in the car.

3. Trains have fairly long stopping distances, increasing the distance needed between trains for safe operation. Some quick Googling indicated that an 8-car passenger train traveling at 80mph can take over a mile to come to a complete stop — it's hard to imagine a car with such long braking distances. That puts a pretty hard lower bound on how densely you can pack an ordinary subway tunnel.

Maybe I'm totally wrong, but it would be more useful to give actual data and evidence than knee-jerk shutdowns. It's not obvious to me, a non-train-engineer (like many on this site!), that the dismissive tweet is particularly meaningful.
Quoting the article:

" In other words, pronoun misuse may become actionable, though the Human Rights Tribunals and courts. And the remedies? Monetary damages, non-financial remedies (for example, ceasing the discriminatory practice or reinstatement to job) and public interest remedies (for example, changing hiring practices or developing non-discriminatory policies and procedures). Jail time is not one of them."

Conveniently leaving out what happens if you don't pay a fine: you can end up in jail.

Another thing is they state things need to become really bad before you get prosecuted so it won't happen. Well that all depends on the political climate. Plenty examples in the world for that.

Lastly they mention other places in the law where speech is limited. But they point at places where certain speech is forbidden, not where it is compelled.

The entire article looks disingenuous.
(Shrug) There are worse things than glitter. If I order a gympie gympie plant on eBay and someone steals it off my porch, for instance, I can hardly be held responsible for the outcome. The police will just laugh at the thief, the doctors and nurses will stifle a chuckle or two of their own, and the jury in a civil trial isn't likely to be sympathetic.

Yeah practically I think there’s almost always going to need to be two tunnels side by side, given density of stations and the need for long distances to slow vehicles down as they exit from the main tunnel (up to 150mph) to the stations. It may be that stations wind up quite a bit denser than one every mile- certain parts of LA could use them every 1/4 mile really.

I look forward to hearing more about your plans for ingress and how the various pieces fit together (CDN, L4/L7 LBs, TLS termination, Geo/policy DNS balancing). Especially regarding the performance and new features available using Envoy. I've use HAProxy before and it was great for simple routing/reverse proxy but not so great at complex/dynamic configuration or cert management.
Being the engine behind trackerless BitTorrent gave it quite some exposure too. I do not know if it was before or after it became known in academia.

I can think of several possible reasons:

1. most subways don't operate at 150 MPH

2. subways stop at every stop even if the majority of passengers aren't getting on or off

3. subways can't route individuals (or small groups) directly to their destination, including via normal roads
I file this one under memories are short, and dust masks are a pain in the arse. Sure labour laws are wanting for your Appalachian thin seam coal miner, but the union strong Australian industry had had a similar revelation, albeit with reportable cases in the tens, not thousands).

Dust masks are totally effective. The main problem is convincing miners to wear them, all shift, in the heat, and the humidity. The only effective motivator I've seen for the industry are miners getting sick.

In my fifteen years of underground coal I've seen it go from crews where none wore dust masks, to everyone wears them, and it's not like black lung or silicosis are new to mining. And what's interesting is most wear them purely out of self concern, the minority due to workplace health and safety rules.

How would this even work? I google for local "immigration lawyers"(??) and tell the person who answers a man whose name I don't know yelled at me to call them, and that they get someone down to the airport? I'd like to think if I saw this happening I'd step in to help, but I don't feel like I would have enough compelling --- let alone actionable --- information for a lawyer to be interested enough to intervene.

I - and I'm quite sure it's common practice - have been doing something similar using VMware, desktop integration and shared folders.
It's nothing close to a native integration but it does the work - and I've been able to render 3D applications pretty well (not at a professional level of course).

I've been wondering for a while what was preventing a virtual machine editor to step ahead in integration and let you run the hosts' applications in a safe, virtualized environment - I've had thoughts mixing a sort of overlayfs (no idea if that exists on Windows), RAM isolation, and chroot-like (again, no idea if that exists on Windows but there must be something similar, right?)

Anyway, I'm really happy to see Microsoft stepping ahead. Most programs downloaded online are simply unsafe - sometimes just for privacy reasons! - and I often don't feel comfortable running them on my bare metal OS (not even talking of cracked software).

When I first got back on using Windows after a long time on OSX then Linux (I'm not happy with recent Apple hardware, I'm missing a whole lot of entertainment/creation applications on Linux), I assumed Hyper-V would be the best option to have a reliable, built-in hypervisor on my system. I was wrong.
My goal was to setup 2 VMs: Linux CLI only do development, Windows 10 for untrusted software. It worked but the graphics integration of the windows VM sucked, and the Linux VM was extremely unreliable - I can't recall exactly what happened but crashes were common, especially in situations like sleep resume, drivers updates etc.

I would like to finish this informative comment with a hope that this new "sandbox" feature fixes most of the problems I used to experience with hyper-V. I would also love to see the others - VMware and virtualbox - to implement such feature. Hopefully, this could bump the use of virtual machines at a personal level (agreeing on dman comment to, please!, make it a standard feature) and see better performances and painless integration in the future.
Super cool! I’m a little surprised nobody has backported a TLS implementation though.
Worth considering that a single family luxury car is not the only vehicle type that could be in these tunnels.

Automation allows for all sorts of new options in vehicles. This is a platform and many services can sit atop it. No reason why people can’t develop a carpooling service for 6-12 person vans and run those on this. Or services that travel to clients rather than visa versa.

Also, and very important to the cost argument, is that system cost is offset by individuals and external services purchasing fleets. This makes it a lot more practical a transit option to build than typical public transit or freeway fixes which require multi-year, multi-billion dollar outlays and consequent decision making apparatus. Consider what properties an ideal transit option has:

a) easy to add very incremental capacity (vs big long projects)

b) doesn’t have to deal with right of way

c) shares costs with private market & individuals

d) can reach any location point-to-point

e) offers broad access to citizens

Seems this + autonomous fleets serving different market segments and needs has these properties. If it works.
A 'blame the victim' mentality gives breathing space to the bully. 'Blame the bully' and at least they might apply some discretion, to counter negative attention to themselves or their superiors. Enforcement jobs, including border patrol, can self-select for sadists and racists, so it's probably best the public remains vigilant to the prospect of their increasing power.

Nowadays it's almost impossible to uninstall an app completely, because most of them creating files willy nilly. And it's same on all known OSes. The side effect we see is system size growing in time.

IMO running an app in a sandbox should be the default option.

On Windows, I used to like sandboxie, which virtualized every write into single directory. Uninstall was easy as removing that dir.

This MS sandbox doesn't allow you to continually run an app in the sandbox, as all data get's destroyed on app close, so it's not sandboxie (or similar) replacement.

> That design was heavily based off of number theoretical knowledge I had to dust off

The fact you had to "dust it off" implies that it was not top of mind, which is precisely the argument people have been making; that it's not top of mind, and need not be because it can be "dust[ed] off", and that investing months in prep just to pass an arbitrary hoop is a waste of time.
This is already a solved problem. BART may have huge headways, but Vancouver's fully automated Skytrain can run at 75 second headways (!!!).

I agree with your reasoning. Also, particularly

> software freedom, which in turn is a tool to protect user freedom

is AFAIK an assumption, or has this ever been proven?

I mean, isn't it entirely possible that helping software startups protect their business model of whatever "near-enough" OS/free software they build will help user freedom more than taking a purist OSS stance and leaving it all up for grabs by Amazon, Alibaba etc.? Because of increased choice and competition?

Yes! HAProxy is a terrific piece of tech, and has been awesome for our use cases so far. We do quite a bit with it for our main ingress routing and it was basically flawless as our data plane in SmartStack.

It’s mostly speculation for sure. I forgot what parts were real from the live stream (the 3x power output was real) but it seemed like this is mostly the rapid learning and planning stage.

Buying a competitors device is a really smart move as a first step, since much of the low hanging fruit gains are in the activities around the machine to save that 4/5s of time when it’s idle. As a startup it’s almost always best to bootstrap with the competition’s product if you can, makes rate of learning so much faster.

75 seconds is really, really long. Cars on a highway don't leave 75 seconds in between each other; if a cutting-edge train does, that starts to imply that density issues do exist for subway systems.

And how expensive was it to build the train? If you can build 3x the tunnels for AVs as you can train tunnels and trains for the same price, actual throughput dollar-for-dollar in infra spend would be much better with Boring Co tunnels.

Update with data: it cost $2 billion to build 50 miles of Skytrain. Apparently this prototype Boring Co tunnel cost $10 million per mile. That's a 4x cost advantage for Boring Co mile-for-mile, and I imagine they'll try to strengthen that advantage even further; after all, that's their whole company's purpose: cheap, efficient boring.
The equivalent of BART in Paris (RER) has 90 seconds intervals between trains in peak time - and thats the regional train system, not the metro. It carries 50k pax per hour in each direction - that would be a lot of cars, like eleven cars a second at 1.2 person occupancy.

You mention "cheap tunnel boring" - maybe that is the keystone of Musk's plan that will change the paradigm... With a little knowledge of tunnel boring I fail to see how to disrupt its crazy complexity, especially in urban environments whose density extends underground already: in my neighborhood (La Défense business district) a whole new station is being build wholly under existing construction and interconnected to existing subterranean works, without any disruption - insanely good engineering and insanely expensive.
