Good example.

The JVM is one of the most amazing piece of tech ever created. It's so good it supports not only what has been most the popular language in the world for years, but many newly popular languages like Kotlin or Closure. The perf have been optimized so much they are getting about 70% of C/C++, but with high level paradigms. It can pretty much do everything.

In fact, it runs on everything. It used to run on old school nokia phones. It runs on some credit cards! Despite being slowed down by patent trolling, Java found its way to more than half the modern mobile phones in the world throught Dalvik reimplementation.

It's everywhere.

Today, it is still ranking #2 on TIOBE and PYPL, despite having to leave with 2 decades of legacy design decisions and no monopoly.
NDA's are very valuable to me...

They tell me it's probably not the kind of company I want to work for.

I have nothing against NDA's themselves, just companies that use them widely tend to be paperwork-heavy, inflexible, slow, and all the things I don't like in an employer. The NDA is just an indicator.
Exactly, This is the drawback of Traditional education system where most of the people are good at studying like you mentioned doing programming or other tech work during their college.

And because they are worried about Grades that they will get in exams is most popular thing for their career before even they get graduated and enter into REAL WORLD.

It's not about even how much you paid for your college degree, it's all about people's minds when they get REAL TECH JOB work just after getting a degree.

I am grateful that, I learned this all doing an internship and getting real-world experience in the industry.

It's even so sad in this modern fast pace digital world, the education system is still not changing and teaching a REAL WORKPLACE environment.
That's too general. Sometimes there's [almost] nothing to calculate, so no slowdown. Sometimes the traversible format can be used as your working data structure and then encoding is a no-op.

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, that example is about 2 orders of magnitude (100x) cheaper to do at market rates than the standard I proposed before the questions of $30M. I arrived at the number of the thwarted attack by looking at Zerodium payouts https://zerodium.com/program.html where a Firefox RCE+LPE goes for up to $100K, so even if we say both such exploits were a RCE+LPE (they are not, the pair amounts to a single RCE+LPE) two such exploits is only on the order of $200K. Adding in the cost of social engineering and any custom work, it probably only amounts to a $300K attack or so. I think it is fair to say that achieving 1% of a standard is inadequate to be a valid example of achieving a standard.

If I want to be even more pedantic, the attack was not even targeted at Coinbase since it appears to be part of a larger-scale opportunistic attack. I think you would agree that a more targeted attack that used all resources allocated to the various targets to just Coinbase would be harder to defeat, so we should actually be distributing the cost of attack across all the targets when evaluating the effort level of the attack on Coinbase itself. The article also indicates that the exploit was active for hours before it was stopped. That is more than enough time to cause the vast majority of damage if intended. In this particular case all they did was exfiltrate credentials and documents, but in many cases that is already the majority of the damage intended. As another example, the Maersk attack in the OP only took a few hours to do the $250M of damages.
Well, you did learn to understand German sentences way before school and grammar, I think that was the point. A baby can learn any language without studying its grammar, and in the early period not being able to pronounce the words.

There are different kinds of problems, and some are super hard to solve while also providing very little actual results. Creating a formula for your personal ethics with all of its intricacies AND putting that into a succinct licence that will be enforceable in court (and doesn't do more than you want it to) is probably one of those.

It's reasonable to spend time on other things instead, especially since such a licence would be very individual, because very few people have the exact same views when you look at the details.
>> For a couple of hours of training our character-level RNN model will learn basic concepts of English grammar and punctuation (I wish I could learn English that fast!).

Thankfully the task is rather easier than learning natural language concepts. The LSTM only has to learn basic concepts of the language of recipes, which is considerably simpler than unrestricted natural English.

For example, in natural English one would say

"You will need one cup of unsalted butter for this recipe, which you should soften.
Alternatively, you can measure 2 sticks of butter".

Whereas a recipe will simply say:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

As in the example on the repository.

Also, it seems that most, if not all, sentences begin with a verb that describes an action followed by a list of ingredients to be combined. "Stir the olive oil, garlic, thyme and 1 teaspoon salt in a saucepan;" etc. The regularity and repetitiveness of such structures makes them much easier to learn than arbitrary English text. In more practical terms, they also make the instance space for this task a lot more dense than arbitrary English text, were a sentence with a certain structure may only repeat once after a million utterances.

Edit: OK, if I don't say this I'll explode. "one cup" is "two sticks"? This is just not going to work.

Which is still x86...?

What point are you trying to make?
To a degree. But afaik Intel already will do custom extensions to Xeons for them and for many, especially larger-scale, accelerators it makes sense to not have them on the main CPU, so they have their own cooling and power delivery etc (although I don't know how open Intel is about giving them low-level access to system resources, e.g. the QPI bus, whereas a fully custom design could add the interfaces needed freely)
A similar case with a telling difference is Anchorite Rock in NZ's Hauraki Gulf:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Anchorite_(P422)#Service

The difference being that this rock was already known by some local fishermen, who had allegedly refrained from informing the Hydrography Office because it was an excellent and little-known fishing ground. (jokingly) lacking patent protection for fishing spots, they opted for a trade secret.
True, but then the web-fronted dev stuff is several layers away from the ISA, isn't it ? As for the unix-like experience, from reading other people's accounts, it seemed like that was not really Apple's priority. So there are ancient versions of utilities due to GPL aversion and stuff. I suppose docker, xcode and things like that make it a bit better, but my general point was that didn't seem like Apple's main market.

You might not understand the nature of video games if you compare it with an extremely narrow topic like cryptography. Video games are closer to media than to a tool that enables a certain outcome. The definition of a game according to Total Biscuit was basically "A game must have an explicit or implied failure state". The potential space for things that can be considered a game is incredibly vast but it is still a powerful enough definition to exclude other vast forms of media such as audio, video, written text or static visuals.

Obviously the idea of a silver bullet doesn't work. The term "media mix" exists for a reason. Popular franchises are conveyed through lots of different media and the same is also happening in education. Video games are just adding to the "media mix" not replacing it.
Personally I have been very lucky, my father built architectural models, my mother ran a small (artisan) shirts/nightgowns factory, both my father's workshop and my mother's small factory were situated less than 1 km from home.

As a kid, in the afternoon, after school and homework, I would go to either and learn something and try and help (doing something easy that I could do).

As an example at my mother's there were some kind of dressing gowns that used buttons covered with the same fabric that were to be assembled with a small press. (think today of allowing a 10 year old kid to operate a small manual press) or at my father's there was sometimes the need to make trees (in scale) with some wire, glue and cotton or to sand down a piece of plyboard before painting it.

I learned that work was something needed and that if you love your work (as my parents did) it is rarely heavy or tiring, that if there is a deadline, it must be met, that you need to talk to both customers and suppliers, that there are rules and bureaucarcy and you have to deal with them.

I can see the difference in mentality against that of some of my cousins whose parents had (possibly "better") office jobs, their parents basically left in the morning and were not seen again till almost dinner time.

They had no idea what their parents did, which kind of problems they had to deal with every day, they knew vaguely that they worked in a bank or in an office, that was all.

maybe what he means is, if macs are jumping on the trend, man that must be a well-established trend, they're always last to the party.
Please don't do this.

Just write the code to describe what you really wanted to do, and if that performs badly, open a bug with V8 or other JavaScript engines to optimize it.

If there are two identical ways to write the same code, the engine is what should be deciding what's fastest and running that.

In this case, it probably ought to be pulling the "x" field out of this structure and doing a memset() on the whole thing.
No I mean it looked weird in CINEMA where the frame rate was exactly 48 fps. And by weird I specifically mean the jumpiness observed occasionally in certain scenes. As if the frames were suddenly being played by much more that 48 fps. I doubt that this was a technical glitch but rather something happening in my brain.
This is a problem that I currently have, many conflicting studies.
Depending on how careful and correct this study is (https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3089476/ther...), the risks have to be assessed quite differently.
With the current state of facts, I think it is better to act after the worse than too early from the better.
DikuMUD is _the_ influential mud code base. So many derivatives came from it - including my favorite, CircleMUD. There were also rumors that Everquest was directly inspired (and perhaps even some code lifted!) from DikuMUD. Millions of hours of gameplay across MUDs and MMORPGs owes its life to this C codebase built by a handful of university students in Denmark.
A walk is just another way to medidate, at least for me. I've discovered long walks four years ago and they became my one of my favourite hobbies in a blink. There is some paradoxality in this: many of the walks are organized events where thoudsands of people take part. I however always go alone and do not take my headphones. So it is just me, dozens of kilometers of the road and some nice volunteers at checkpoints. Hours and hours of me being with myself. I think for the brain is kind of like the sleep, time to reorganize, recconect and clean-up, just while being awake.

Our most popular organizer of such events, Trenkturas, come up with an idea during COVID lockdowns (going out was not forbidden, but public gatherings were and are still restricted): solo hikes. You select a route, a time slot, pay a couple of euros and get the link to the route, so you can follow it on your phone. This idea proved to be very popular.

The chemfp project: problems selling free software
I imagine that if you are creating a web interface, with the associated risks it carries (login, vulnerabilities, permissions), the interface should have some advantages over just going into the terminal and editing the same files in the same way.

In fact, by reading the motivation of the project in the README, it seems that the problem it solved was the authentication part of it, and replaced it with... no authentication?

Hey.com Launch and Apple Troubles
Not bad:

What are you trying to cook? fried onions
Hmm. Never heard of fried onions. I guess it's some kind of salad? How about:
Ingredients

1 oz. onion
3/4 tsp clove
1 oz. swiss cheese
1 cups lima beans
2 cups tomato juice
3/4 liters goat milk

Preparation

start with a large mixing bowl.
chop onion, removing any seeds, and stir in.
season with clove.
crumble over swiss cheese.
stir in lima beans (fresh).
apply dressing made by blending goat milk and tomato juice.
toss thoroughly.
Serves

2, at 1050 calories per serving.

More context? What is this, how and why was it made, etc?

Edit: aAAAAAAH! I don't want to know what it is. INSECTOID BUTTONS. AAAH.
Yes. Then they're a "different" object than a square matrix or a vector.

My point is, the sub-algebra of all square matrices supports more operations than mixing matrices of different sizes.
Does anyone know where I can find good benchmarks? Especially how the CPU compares (I don't expect to be GPU-bound).

A projects page would be neat as well, to see if anyone has done anything similar to what I want to do (simple processing on 3-4 video streams -- will IO keep up?).

To get certain performance (fps) you'd need some power, even if the Apple stuff is twice more efficient (!) - it'd still draw like 50W+ or anywhere close to 40% of 2080TI.
I’m using an echo show for this use case. My granddad has dementia and lives at home on his own. I set up some blink cameras in his house to watch for falls and setup an echo show so family could speak with him during lockdown. The big advantage I found about the echo show is the “drop in” feature which allows starting a video call with no interaction from his side.
My impression about the goal of Wireguard (mind you, I haven't looked at the code) is that it's to be as simple as possible, reusing as much of the primitives the OS offers without reinventing the wheel.

That goal may be antithetical to a single codebase supporting multiple (possibly very dissimilar) operating systems.

It's interesting to compare this approach to the approach taken by OpenSSH (and its openssh-portable variant). One has code specific to each OS, the other one has one canonical codebase for one OS + patches addressing compatibility with other OSes. IMHO mostly due to the difference in complexity of each project.
Other answers are good, but no one mentioned *nix equivalent of PTH. Admittedly it's not exactly the same, but from an attacker's perspective it can be used with similar effect. This equivalent (which works on Windows as well, btw!) is pass-the-password.

There are two requirements for this to work, both much more common in the wild then hip HN DevOps crowd would like you to believe:

1. root or other privileged accounts share the same password across the internal infrastructure and SSH is configured to allow password authentication for root (that's not the default, but it's usually enabled when admins believe that the network access is sufficiently restricted anyway)
2. requirement for admins to normally login as an unprivileged user and gain superuser rights when necessary through su or sudo (for auditing purposes)

The attacker gains superuser access on one system, then tricks admin to log in and gain root privileges, disclosing their password during that process (by swapping binaries, process injection, reading memory, rootkits, etc).
Zakat is put into practice. In the UK for example, Muslims make disproportionately large charitable donations compared to other religious groups or non-religious people.
Hey, I've been following up on Legion and Regent quite a bit, excellent work there.

Do you have a set of benchmarks that others can reimplement to compare the approaches?

I've added Dataflow Parallelism to my own multithreading runtime[1] but I didn't had dataflow focused benchmarks yet, well I could add Cholesky Decomposition but it's quite involved.

I expect the people from TaskFlow[2] and Habanero[3] (via Data-Driven Futures) would be quite interested as well in a common set of dataflow parallelism benchmarks.

By the way if you didn't read the DaCe paper[4] you absolutely should, seems like the age of Dataflow parallelism and properly optimizing for data is coming.

> Yet you can find thousands of these hot takes from developers about the future of education. Or pick your subject.

AMD's implementation of DMTF DASH is called SimFire, and Intel's is called AMT. They both implement the same standard. I don't see where else it run if not on the PSP if it works even when the machine is (supposedly) switched off? And even if it were not to run on the PSP, does that matter? It's still an opaque binary that runs below your OS.

Cannibalism–The Ultimate Taboo–Is Surprisingly Common
The accounts I have read make it sound pretty harmless - Foot apparently met someone from the Soviet embassy a few times, had discussions about things like the roles of unions in the UK but didn't share anything remotely secret or indeed, and critically in my view, know that the person he was speaking to was KGB. I don't think he was even close to being "recruited".

I seem to remember that one of Gordievsky's own points was that the KGB at that point tended to greatly overstate how important their contacts were to make them look better to Moscow.
I read the whole article so that the rest of you doesn't have to. It's almost a non-story. The author likes to point out the fact that of the two grants they received, they inlude only one of them in the official Google story. Well, maybe the other one is not significant from the point of view of the company?

Yes, the NSA and other agencies benefit from Google's activities, and Google doesn't hide that. But the title of the article is misleading: the company wasn't created with the intention to track people online.
