It's indicative more than a break of encrypted storage.

For example ATECC508A, a common secure element chip used in a lot of designs. It does ECDSA signing, using DUAL_EC_DRBG (based on the description, it's not mentioned) and produces non-deterministic ECDSA signatures. You can establish this by asking it to sign the same message twice, and the nonce selection is random rather than static for the two requests. This is a very strong indicator that the chip is significantly weak as it's not using the standard RFC6979 which was specified in 2013.

Commonly a lot of "secure" software implementations use the output of the STM32's "TRNG" as a source of entropy, such as many Bitcoin hardware wallets. I don't believe that this is a strong design, based on the documentation that has been made public. It is supposedly based on the output of multiple synchronized ring oscillators which are XOR'd to produce a output into a 32 bit buffer. The documentation goes to a huge length to try and justify it as a secure source of entropy, but the speed of it (the RNG RDY flag) is much too fast for it to possibly be true.

uint32_t random32(void) {
static uint32_t last = 0, new = 0;
while (new == last) {
if ((RNG_SR & (RNG_SR_SECS | RNG_SR_CECS | RNG_SR_DRDY)) == RNG_SR_DRDY) {
new = RNG_DR;
}
}
last = new;
return new;
}

A common implementation of reading the output of the STM32 RNG is this snippet, which has a single bit of bias, which is enough to break things like ECDSA signatures if used for the selection of k.

The general comment is that people seem to be far too trusting in these devices actually implementing what they say they are, or using output from hardware RNGs in a way that directly exposes the application if they were to fail or be producing predictable output.
You describe a bad implementation of top level IC. They same way, it can be someone from the top management who has no clue about individual teams, makes dump decisions that hurt your team.

Top ICs work together with ICs that represent their teams, so that they can make informed decisions. They are up to date with technologies (this must be an obligatory requirement), code regularly, so they are much better then managers to make efficient company wide technical decisions, own the architecture of the whole system or large parts, organise and overlook large and expensive engineering initiatives, drive prototypes and research projects. They must me accountable for being up to date, understanding the consequences of their decisions, getting feedback from managers and engineers - not turn into “astronauts” in some years.

I think ICs should go in parallel with engineering management in the reporting chain: the top IC reports to CTO, next level reports to directors, etc. This ensures that IC’s scope of responsibilities is expanding and they have better visibility and power.
More and more businesses are trying (as gets discussed here from time to time) to force you to 'agree' to private arbitration and give up your right to sue, including class actions suits. You might be able to laboriously opt-out, but it hard to just say 'I won't use those services' because it almost universal.

> Access to libraries and literacy are not related.

I can't speak to the UK but in the US this is demonstrably not true. Libraries are the typical entry point for people who want to take advantage of the programs designed to encourage literacy in children outside of school, and perhaps more importantly the adult literacy programs of a more remedial nature.

> Access to a library does not make you interested in reading.

It sure as hell provides fuel for the fire, provided there is even a small spark.
>How anyone can say this with a straight face blows my mind

Elon is the only person to ever start four 1bn+ companies (paypal, tesla, SpaceX, Solarcity). He has/is driving innovation across multiple industries on a time scale that I don't think any of the people you mentioned can really touch, not to mention hyperloop and the Boring Company. Its not even debatable IMO.
But then they're already inside the house, so to speak. Your neighbors are unlikely to be cabled into your LAN.
I don't have any information about this secure element.
This doesn't exactly address the point.

Human beings are only capable of sustained attention for limited periods of time, plus they have biological needs and must navigate a physical world.

Now, if you're just talking about time on the clock, then sure- 168 hours is the limit per week. But we're talking about people doing productive, mentally demanding work. 80 hours might not be possible.
They are not outmoded for this function, which is the function of a repository of information free to all citizens. They are critical for it, and they are giving up on it, by and large, thanks to the current generation of professional librarians.

What is described in the article is also happening in the US, and over the last 15 years the public library has largely ceased to be a repository for information or even a kiosk to access information, which would be it's primary modern function. It has become a place to deliver entertainment, and even more importantly to warehouse children of working parents and in some areas, homeless people. These are perhaps useful and important functions, but not a primary rationale for a library. But in order to perform these functions, the libraries have eliminated ... the books.

And I don't just mean the physical books, and most of the suburban libraries around here have eliminated by my estimate at least half of their physical collections, both in books and media, largely to open floor space for lounge areas. These books in many cases are now just gone. They aren't available to read digitally either - because libraries are largely outsourcing the whole 'content' thing to for-profit companies that essentially lease books for access by libraries at ridiculous prices. And you'll get what they consider profitable, which is largely content that is ... entertainment.

One of the great functions of the "old" library was access to out-of-print material. This is now largely gone, and because it is out of print, you won't find it in digital distribution, either. And obscure or unpopular material that formerly could be found in a library you now must buy, at a high price because of low individual interest.

I believe that the public library was one of the great democratic institutions in the US, not just because it afforded access to information, but as a place where everyone, rich and poor, would go and have the same right to borrow a book. The only sliver of hope I see here is that most libraries still seem to have large children's sections and it warms my heart to see parents still taking little ones to the library. It's one of the small rituals that help to produce a civil society and one that I fear will eventually be privatized as well.
> I feel like Netflix is trying its hardest to stop me from watching.

Indeed. I just cancelled my Netflix subscription. I signed up as soon as possible when Netflix launched in my country, and I've been running the 4k plan since they launched it.

But for a while now, every time I've launched Netflix I've felt actively put off watching something. By far the most annoying thing is that they play trailers or the movie when I'm just trying to read what the film is about. Most of the time I ended up watching something else.

A couple of weeks ago I figured I'd vote with my wallet and cancelled, listing the autoplay as the reason for cancelling.

Maybe one day they'll get to their senses, though I'm not holding my breath.

There’s some weird things about this article.

1) Their daughter likely would’ve qualified for quite a bit of financial aid, which potentially could have brought a fancy art college to within reason for her. That she never even applied to her dream schools means she will never know if they would’ve been competitively priced.

2) Collectively, student debt is $1.6T, but that doesn’t tell you much about the per graduate burden. Here’s some data: https://studentloanhero.com/student-loan-debt-statistics/.
Average debt load is $30K or $7.5K per year of study (just living on that amount of money seems like a good deal). That’s is quite a bit of money, but not insurmountable. Median payment is $222/month. Also pretty feasible for most graduates, especially when inflation and wage gains are factored in.

There is no ambiguity about who MLK was talking about so it’s not a direct analogy. Until we talk about specific actions and potential consequences this discussion is so vague as to be meaningless.

The original article's title is: "Where do IC designers go once they peak?" (not sure why it was changed on HN), and it focuses mainly on the career path for design.

For engineers, at least in larger tech companies, there's often a tech career ladder that runs parallel to the management ladder where you can have salary and responsibility growth as an IC without managing people. These ladders usually top out at a "distinguished engineer" or "fellow" level that's roughly equivalent to being a VP.

EDIT: added clarification about company size
How much of that was hands-on and being on-call? Being on-premises or on-call within X minutes but allowed to do whatever including sleeping... Not exactly a match to creative work.
> Which really does leave us back at this question: if it doesn't get us faster communication, then what advantages do we think quantum teleportation is going to get us?)

I believe currently its most useful property is its ability to detect eavesdropping. With classical information, it is possible to make a copy of information you observe without being detected. With quantum information, the act of observing changes the state, so eavesdropping can be detected somehow[1]

> An important and unique property of quantum key distribution is the ability of the two communicating users to detect the presence of any third party trying to gain knowledge of the key. This results from a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics: the process of measuring a quantum system in general disturbs the system. A third party trying to eavesdrop on the key must in some way measure it, thus introducing detectable anomalies. By using quantum superpositions or quantum entanglement and transmitting information in quantum states, a communication system can be implemented that detects eavesdropping. If the level of eavesdropping is below a certain threshold, a key can be produced that is guaranteed to be secure (i.e., the eavesdropper has no information about it), otherwise no secure key is possible and communication is aborted.

I have 3 nephews who served in the military.

2 have PTSD, one severe. The one with severe PTSD also got to spend 6 months in a hospital after being shot out of the air in a conflict that we are theoretically not involved in.

Given their other options, military service might have been a good thing. But the odds of PTSD or injury are much, much higher than I would like.

I love those license plates and fake badges in the windshield. A bonus if they have something patriotic on the vehicle too.

Nothing screams I love my country like blatantly advertising corruption and using a tax exemption to do it.

Just the other day I met someone who was able to open a gun range in a town that I thought would never let someone do it, and he showed me his gold police union card or whatever and bragged about having the state's police union as a customer for his other business via whom he was able to contact an old police boss, and of course they were able to pull the right "levers" to get the permit for the business issued.
There's finite available RF bandwidth, specifically in long-life things like air systems where you can't just add additional bands decades down the road.

Ergo, trying to keep the most numerous systems (smaller UAVs) from needing to actively broadcast seems like a good idea.

Remember that one of the reasons cell phones were originally prohibited from planes was due to signal propagation (back when they used higher power to broadcast).

Frequency isn't infinite, and a 250' tall transmitter covers a very different amount of area than one at ground level.
What exactly would the quantitative "score" be to measure between the qualitative systems of Capitalism and Socialism? Between Buddhism and Christianity? Between Keynesianism and Modern Monetary Theory?

I would submit there isn't one. Furthermore any objective "facts" useful for such a metric have some basis on one theory or interpretation or another.

The article says:

> This is why quantitative and scale-based thinking is so important. But most don’t realize that quantitative thinking isn’t really about math; it’s about the idea that The dose makes the poison.

To adopt their words in response to your comment, what exactly is the numerical "dose" between qualitatively different systems? Could one have identical numerical "doses" in different combinations of those systems? It's a useless, reductionist, and counterproductive way of thinking in my opinion.
It never occurred to me that people would tailor their political views to try and be "moderate". The whole idea feels kind of dirty to me, your political views should be your honest opinion.

I believe this is mostly down to the obscurity of them rather than good implementation. The implementations of ECDSA predominantly are almost always not constant time, which directly leaks the size of the nonce that has been chosen. That none of them implement RFC6979 deterministic nonces is a very good indication that they have put zero care into their implementation.
Sometimes the hard part of the job isn't the number of hours per week at a desk but the need to always be on call to deal with problems. For me, being on call leads my brain into thinking about potential problems ahead of time, so there's a low level of work-related background noise going on all the time anyway.
"and the far right and far left are roughly equally wrong"

I disagree with this in the strongest terms.

I realize that the people on this site lean right, and arguing politics isn't really cricket, so I won't go into to why.

The "center" is a political ideology that pretends that it's something else.

Also, being good at one thing doesn't make someone's opinion about everything else important.

although it should be noted that the performance problems with long work hours among physicians are known and drastic. As is the rate of drug abuse among physicians. So in a literal sense, you can do it, but physicians do it at the expense of their own health and their patients (not to their fault of course, the system is just screwed up).
It depends what hours you are trying to count. In the office? Remote? Actually 'working'? Including shuttle time? In my FAANG circle, small N, none of those values would be above 40 hours a week, except possibly if you include shuttle time. Certainly not anything approaching an average of 60-65 hours a week. That's averaging a 12-13 hour day, in a 10am-4pm core hour culture.
The debt load will be severe. The US doesn't have a balanced budget, has a growing deficit at all levels (federal, state, municipal), and politicians are promising "free college", when we have bigger issues (child poverty, homelessness, healthcare, DEBT)?

It does happen, but generally in environments that are different from the 'normal' workplace - environments that contain a sense of community, where breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and sometimes evenings and sleeping are part of the job: grad school, hospitals, fieldwork, law/consulting/IB firms, etc. It seems like the mid-decade tech ideal was to import that kind of workplace style.

And you're right, that those hours are not all 'at the desk working', but they are still most definitely working hours when you're waiting for a page, an email, or a piece of data that require immediate response at 3am.

That kind of work can be deeply rewarding (in retrospect), but is very clearly damaging if it persists for too long.

How does it matter? What 'unqualified programmers' (in your speak) say has no bearing on the outcome/quality of actual software that is being created elsewhere by the 'professionals', right?

Unlike other professions, software is ambigously placed in between art and commerce. Perhaps, the only art form that drives commerce heavily compared to music/painting etc. Just like there are no certifying bodies for qualified painters/sculptors/musicians (even if they exist, they are not stopping actual artists creating and sharing stuff), creating a certifying body for software will not take anyone anywhere.

Having run into nutty hosts (and before that landlords) would you as a guest feel good if one of those hosts started posting negative reviews about you offsite based on your stay at Airbnb?

Ie, if their only outlet for a guest that "created problems" "did nothing to fix them" was off-site reviews?

I've found folks with the approach of I should be able to slam you publicly react TERRIBLY when they themselves start receiving off-site reviews. And I've found the nutty hosts / nutty guests often have the most time to pursue things like off-site reviews as an "outlet" for their aggression.

I have stopped saying at airbnb when traveling except for big group trips and paying for very premium places because the quality of hosts is problematic as you describe, and airbnb should ABSOLUTELY shut down the false advertising hosts (extra charges after / poorly disclosed "rules", cameras in all the rooms etc). But I do have an outlet, I book a nice room at a hotel - a very predictable experience! And I'm not the only one.
"World class talent" is hard to define in art. Was Jackson Pollock's work as an art student clearly "world class"? What about color field paintings? Anna Karenina was dismissed on its release as trifling. Art, perhaps by definition, is subjective.

An objective criteria might be to pursue art if you don't have to pay tuition. I knew someone who decided as a teenager that he wouldn't pursue music unless he didn't have to pay for it. This worked out mostly - his undergrad and graduate programs were full ride scholarships, he really was extraordinary. Except when he was auditioning for orchestras at the end, he spent almost a year unemployed and flying back and forth across the country on his own dime. He had to buy a separate seat for his instrument because he couldn't trust it being checked as baggage. He was incredibly good, but he told me that 80% of the people who auditioned were just as good, and past a certain level of ability, it was basically random who got picked. So this guy was perhaps "world class," but even at the end it was a dicey period where he was not sure he could be employed.
The self-hosted requirements are pretty hefty.

Node.js >= 12
Postgres >=9.5
Redis >= 4

Requiring Postgres and Redis for a documentation site seems overkill. Also not a fan of requiring S3, an option to save the media to the local disk would be nice. This seems somewhat over-engineered for a knowledgebase, especially when some of the competition has no runtime requirements other than a webserver (DokuWiki, statically generated Gatsby/Hugo sites). And I can still get Slack notifications on edit from MR notifications.

The most thorough reference I've found for the Game Boy SPU is unfortunately the Gambatte source code itself since it's a fairly accurate emulator and open source. Unfortunately it's also not the most human-readable code (due to micro-optimizations and lack of comments, plus it's C++ which is already a -10 handicap in readability).

In the meantime you can try to dig around my code which is not nearly as accurate but (hopefully) should be easier to understand: https://github.com/simias/gaembuoy/blob/master/spu.c
