Can collision attacks provide the same size of data? I suspect it would be dramatically more difficult to produce a collision of equal data-size as the original.

So perhaps, the easiest way to defend against a collision attack is to transmit the size of the data alongside the checksum. Like a checksum, it is extremely lightweight and easy to check.

In my data framework project (where I use sha1 to identify blocks), I've been looking for an excuse to do this, because knowing size of a block is incredibly useful for applying performance heuristics. I suspect it is also a significant defense against collision attacks. Am I wrong?
Words develop multiple meanings. This word has passed beyond specialized usage. When that happens, the arrow of time is irreversible. I know this is painful when it's a word you have close associations with—I've felt that many times myself—but I don't think anything can be done about it.

If the more general usage were malicious, I'd agree with you and stop using it, but I don't think it's malicious at all. It refers to a process that takes place in the human nervous system, one we all would do well to become more conscious of in ourselves. And it's the best word I know of for describing that. We can talk about activation as well, but that's a bit different and not always as clear.
But that's not what happened.

nemosaltat didn't provide a complete chronology, but did say they had a service appointment on 4-13, received a FW update on 4/4, and a rep contacted them on 4/5 saying they reviewed the logs and the new FW fixed the issue.

Then nemosaltat responded to Tesla;

> Ok- I’d still like to understand what happened....It’s significantly less understandable, that the issue mysteriously resolves it self...

Tesla responded,

> It was found to be a software bug in the last update that was performed causing your cruise control not to function. That was resolved in the last update you performed.

Then,

> The issue returned yesterday (5-13) and now the earliest appointment is mid June.

So the issue was fixed, and then it returned. It's unfortunate but hardly sketchy.
The simplified SIMD cores in early GPUs had to fake branching to some extent for their virtual threads: every branch in the shader code would be tested for each virtual flag and that thread (really just a vector component) would be masked out for the instructions of the branch that didn't apply. The GPU would run both branches, relying on the mask. It was workable, but very slow.

Actually in a lot of cases, the games run better on Xbox One[1], and an increasing number are enhanced for the Xbox One X, which means that by default they run at a 9x higher resolution (so 720p -> 4K; 3x vertical, 3x horizontal).

You can see here[2] some comparisons for Forza Horizon and the difference is quite striking.

Pausing the TV every 10 minutes is much harder as a parent on many different levels.

Commercials can teach kids about long term instant gratification when it comes to toys. If they want something they see on TV, then they can wait until their birthday/Christmas to get it and decide which ones they want most.

They can also learn that often toys on TV seem more fun than they are in real life. They can learn to be more skeptical when it comes to advertising through experience.

Commercials are not really the problem. It is spoiling kids and buying them something every time they demand it that causes issues.
They kept operating the other reactors at Chernobyl for years, so sure. Most of the zone is no worse than a high altitude town by now.

A 20s male is probably pretty high on the list of people to question. I would guess that if you're a US citizen, as they're only concerned with what you're bringing in rather than what you're planning to do or how long you're staying, not looking like a stereotypical foreign terrorist probably doesn't help much.

As a 20s non-white guy I'm never bothered, so maybe I'm just off-base here.
Right, and it takes time to build and comprehensively test a fix.

Anything on the CPU level that needs to be done in microcode is incredibly complex, and hard to test.
I humbly disagree. I would state that the product being sold is the lifestyle being marketed. I don't have enough in common with the Baizuo to want to watch them, copy them or imitate them.

Maybe, but I honestly feel like it just coincides with the whole neo-noir and lazy-noir genre coming back, where smoking/drinking at very regular intervals throughout the day is a staple. Part of the reason I feel this way is the fact that I was never able to tell or even notice the brand of cigarettes the characters were smoking.

And this is why environmentalism is a failure. It values appearance over results.

So basically it looks good to have lots of Solar and Wind, never mind if it actually does anything useful?

It's called Greenwashing, and if people don't stop doing it this planet is going to get worse and worse.

You realize you've basically said that they only success of this project was reducing the price of PV Panels? If that was your goal there are WAY WAY better methods to do that.

That's not what it demonstrated though. It demonstrated than even a highly motivated industrialized nation failed in transitioning to clean energy sources.

Some simple things with good ROI:

1. Ergonomics tooling: Set up your screen at an appropriate height and your keyboard at an appropriate distance, so that you aren't in pain. If you use a laptop often, try setting it on a shoebox. Use a work timer to take breaks(I've been using Workrave on its default settings lately, which is quite harsh but has worked for my productivity).

2. Diary keeping: Note what you did, what you plan to do, and the date and time. Note as often as you feel necessary. Record notes both in source comments or in general purpose diaries. Use the date to eliminate or rewrite notes that are stale.

3. File management, process management and editing. Take a little time to learn things about your operating system and editor. You don't have to master it, or do elaborate configuration(in fact, having a complex config makes it hard to transfer to other environments). What you want are little things like knowing a few handy shortcut keys or a few built-in tools.

4. Gaining familiarity with writing simple "skeleton" or mock-up code, and waiting patiently for it to mature. When first building a system it may be tempting to apply the biggest algorithmic hammer or design pattern you know of. This is the kind of trick you are learning in learning about message queues. But the most likely outcome of trying to use a trick, no matter how well intentioned, is that this will get you a wrong result more slowly, because the full shape of any problem tends to come into view slowly, progressing from blurry and unclear with a rapidly changing design into something sharp, with well-defined boundaries. As such every new system demands a beginner's mindset, and some ability to refuse engineering in-depth until you absolutely must do so to progress. Done properly, you build a system that leverages existing tools well, has some kind of value now(even if it's limited or lacking a critical feature), and then can harvest the learned lessons into a more complete form later. Trying to get all the features into one pass creates a messy soup: iterating on a subset of them naturally leads towards development of tricks like the message queuing architecture, without any prompting.

Apache Maven Jar Plugin 3.1.2 Released
Except Apple batteries die because of physics, Tesla has this issue because Tesla decided to:

1. Log something they never read back

2. Use a soldered down chip (they use a SD card in other locations)

3. Crash the media controls when the unused logs cannot be written

4. Disable certain car features, potentially immobilizing the vehicle because the media center is off.

There are several ways that Tesla could have prevented this issue, and the fact that they've never bothered to resolve the issue in later iterations is just baffling.

What is the inverse of loneliness? Belonging, a sense of community and companionship.

It is my perception that, at least in America and I suspect in many other places, competition pressure centered around places with strong "second place" (Job) opportunities combined with decades of civic mal-planning and treating symptoms (for some) rather than root causes (for all) have combined with a regressive tax/compensation structures to destroy the middle class and upward mobility.

There are not enough "first places" near jobs. The cost of those places and the demands of the jobs combine to sour the time, energy, and opportunity left for "third places" (#1). Areas and activities where idle time is spent when seeking connections to others. Those places, at least for me, also tend to have a high barrier to participation/entry and very poor discover-ability.

I theorize this might be related to the same issue described in another post, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19902782 where "the old Internet" had many small venues, who's main reason for existence was not profit, but the benefit of their "members" (users). They were private, intimate, locations where fans of a given thing could gather and learn more about that thing and themselves; with small local histories that allowed for safer exploration.

A more stable place, where I had a real career I believed in, and a real home that I could start putting equity in to and around; a place where actual roots and structures and friends that would probably stay in the area also existed. That's what I feel we need to actually fight and win the battle against loneliness.

Last year I got a video of my 75MHz pentium booting windows faster than a web app could load on my macbook pro (1tb ssd, 16GB ram, i7). General performance in 2019 is already horrible. Rethinking everything from the ground up would be quite pleasant imho.
Those are allowed but have limited dimensions, doesn't matter the size of your storefront you can only have a logo of a certain size, lots of loopholes like the McDonald's M or putting huge logos inside a glass wall but in general it is followed.
"Replacing a tiny part" is trivializing the work necessary to do this, in my opinion.

eMMC flash is typically a ball-grid array part and it's soldered down hard to the motherboard of the processor. Almost every mobile device has the same setup and it's tricky and expensive to rework this chip.

You need to carefully desolder it off the board, reball the part with the correct masking stencil, then reapply it without torching the rest of the board, missing a solder connection, or zapping any other component with static electricity.

You can see a similar process done on an iPhone here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4M9uAZlbK4

You can understand why Tesla would rather replace/refurbish the board than try to field-repair it.

Nuclear fuel reprocessing plus breeder reactors. They burn virtually all of the usable power in uranium leaving little waste behind.

It's an economic problem, and an arms control problem, not a technological one.
Powertrain components are required by EPA to have a 10yr/100k miles warranty, I thought? So it's not exactly the same situation because fundamental parts of the powertrain are covered by a longer warranty.
This benchmark is pretty ridiculous for the following reasons:

1. Their database is run in asynchronous durability mode.

2. They specifically do the one thing that TPC-C says you shouldn't do, which is get really high throughput on a small dataset. TPC-C enforces that you scale your data-stored with the query throughput. CockroachDB maxes out at ~12.8tpmC/warehouse because its waiting at the legal maximum throughput, as opposed to running up the numbers in a way that's against the rules (and spirit) of the benchmark.

3. They make all the TPC-DS mistakes that georgewfraser points out elsewhere in this thread.

4. They run in read committed mode (they don't support anything higher), CockroachDB runs in serializable mode.

Of course not. Something can be interesting and wrong. Sometimes great things begin by being wrong. Nor do we have a truth machine that would allow us to distinguish wrong things and mark them off topic.

It is more site-dependent than browser dependent but by default (unless the dev overrides) most browsers will leave the text blank for 3 seconds after the font is discovered before falling back. In most (all?) of the cases in the blog post, the actual font loading is within that 3-second window, the issue is that the layout-blocking content (preventing the browser from discovering the font) is what is slow.

Everyone should code, not just developers
Apparently Intel attempted to play down the issue by trying to award the researchers with the 40,000 dollar tier reward and a separate 80,000 dollar reward as a "gift" (which the researchers kindly denied) instead of the maximum 100,000 reward for finding a critical vulnerability.

Intel was also planning to wait for at least another 6 months before bringing this to light if it wasn't for the researchers threatening to release the details in May.

I don't get how people can live like this. In any decent language with a primitive static type system this would take you 15 minutes at most and you could be sure that it works afterwards.
At the low end, sure. At the medium-to-high end, each VM is bound to one or more physical cores of the host, or sometimes an entire host ("dedicated instances.")

I don't know enough about the IaaS market to know what the relative revenues of low-end compute vs. medium-to-high-end compute are for your average vendor, though. Is most of the profit in the low end?

I'm also curious on what the impact on margins would be if IaaS vendors decided to switch away from serving the low-end compute demand with "a few expensive high-power Intel cores per board, each multitasking many vCPUs", to serving the demand with "tons of cheap low-power ARM cores per board (per die?) with each core bound to one vCPU."
I still don't think so. Exposing these microarchitectural concerns to the architectural level limits flexibility. In order for compilers to efficiently schedule multiple execution units, the compiler needs to know the exact latency of all instructions. That may be doable for arithmetic, but varies greatly from one generation of processor to the next. And compilers definitely cannot know the latency of a load: from a few cycles in L1 cache, to a few thousand cycles in DRAM, to millions of cycles if there's a page fault. And these things vary a lot, not just between processor generations but within the same processor generation.
That seems pretty dishonest to me. You don't have offers in-hand for part time work, you have offers in-hand for full-time work, unless it's brought up during the interview process - and hopefully pretty early, allowing them to bail early if that won't work for them.

Sure, you can, but most parents don't say no every time, and that means sometimes asking's going to pay off.

Some of the "kidfluencer" content out there is clearly aimed at giving kids talking points to bring to their parents. Before we banned YouTube from the house a few years back, I had a couple experiences where my kids would come and give me canned marketing copy - "it's fun and educational for the whole family!" sort of nonsense - they'd clearly cribbed off a video.

One specific example of this I can remember: "EvanTube". Started off cute and relatively non-commercial, but turned into very clearly paid marketing. https://www.fastcompany.com/3045807/meet-the-father-son-team...
If you don't need a dedicated GPU, the APU offers from AMD are great. They have native linux drivers for everything (on the AMD side, double check the nic/touchscreen/touchpad). I'm using an HP envy x360 15z with a AMD Ryzen 2700u running gentoo and love it. The HP envy has a weird keyboard, but it was a good tradeoff for the AMD setup when I bought it last year.

There is a much larger market in 2019 for AMD laptops, so you should be able to find something to suite your needs.

I didn't think about this, and what you stated describes me as a child-- I had some access to TV but preferred to do other things (namely Legos) while it was turned on.

But I have a very active mind. My fear is that many children will actively consume media rather than passively consume. A major part of the issue probably depends on how parents teach their children to watch TV. This issue needs more investigation because not all TV watching is the same. My fear is that not all parents are as mindful as you or mine.
Regardless of the minor technical nitpicks here, I respect the hell out of the person/people who wrote this article, if only because I know how insanely hard it is to express a technical thought in great detail while maintaining a certain amount of levity to try and keep people interested.
Hmmmm....on one hand this seems like all a silly misunderstanding, basically a pedantic difference of "impactful" vs "potentially impactful". Except removing the first sentence strips the magnitude of importance component from my statement, which is one of the most important aspects of my interest.

I wonder if I can make my meaning even clearer (more difficult to find a way to misunderstand)....how about if I phrase it this way:

"If global polarization of opinions on a wide variety of topics (some of which can be argued to be an existential threat to human existence on earth) starts to suddenly increase, and it is learned that opinions on both sides of most disagreements are based on objectively incorrect beliefs, it would be extremely valuable (possibly up to restoring the previous likelihood of long-term sustainability of human life on the planet) to find a way to get people to fully realize their beliefs are false, so that reasonable, collaborative negotiations can be established to begin solving our various problems."

In the spirit of conversational efficiency, perhaps it is helpful to note explicitly that my intent is to learn your opinion on how important/valuable you personally believe reducing the amount of delusional beliefs held by individuals in society might be, and that I am happy to continue redirecting the conversation back to that specific topic as many times as is necessary.
Pipelining isn't strictly the same thing as speculation, though, is it? If I have,

add %rax, %rbx
add %rcx, %rdx

I can pipeline those without needing to speculate on anything. If there is a dependency on a previous instruction, then we might have to speculate, but hopefully there is still some case for pipelining?

Have any of these bugs been completely based on speculation, or is it always speculating across privilege boundaries? (Although I feel like even the former isn't same, e.g., if you're in some form of VM attempting to maintain privilege separations.)
