(I didn't downvote you. I don't think your comment deserves downvotes).

The UK system could not cope with covid demand, and we had to make considerable changes to the way benefit is claimed and paid in order to cope. Many people are still stuck not getting the correct benefits.

The video talks a lot about decisions made by politicians to appeal to voters by reducing benefit payments: reduce the amount paid each week; reduce the number of weeks that can be claimed for; make it harder to make a claim. All of these are things that happened in the UK system too. (Benefit cap, bedroom tax, 5 week delay, no payment for the 1st week, online applications only, etc etc).
Except that the use of copyrighted and trademarked data for means of enabling interoperability has been ruled fair use in the Sega v. Accolade[1] case. So I believe Nintendo's use of the logo in this way is not much more than snake oil.

OCaml, with D, are probably the languages that feel the most similar to Nim.

Regarding Haskell, you can do category theory[1] if you want

or do integer operations within the type system like dependently typed languages[2], including BigInt computation at compile-time[3].

Regarding speed, Haskell and OCaml are sometimes as fast as C, Nim is always as fast as C.

Isn’t this the exact concept of the VAG EA888 motor used in the Audi A4 and extended all the way up to the S3?

That said, the rumored chip is an actively cooled 12 core 5nm part which is more like an RS3 motor with extra cores/ cylinders
I agree with your statement on the point of infosec. I disagree that any particular infosec organization is equipped to deal with problems of this class in any meaningful way. In fact, it is so far off as to be mind-boggling and probably criminally irresponsible.

To this end, I will clarify what I meant.

I believe that an attack funded on the order of $30M would be able to do $300M in damages to Maersk even if Maersk adopted best-in-class preventative measures and implemented them as a primary focus with support from management at all levels. An attack, able to do $300M in damages that Maersk can not prevent after we have assumed it already did the best it possibly can, should be able to support a $100M extortion payment. This is an ROI of 3 for an attacker with high threshold and an ROI of 3 for Maersk, so I think this is a valid assessment.

So, a counterargument/example is an organization where an attack funded on the order of $30M can not impact operations by more than 1%. I chose the number of 1% because Maersk has a revenue of $39B, so a $300M attack is only ~1% reduction in company output. I hope this clarifies my statement.

I also stated in a different response that I believe that the number of $30M attacks that could do $300M in damages probably exceeds Maersk's profit if they paid for all of them at $30M, let alone paying extortion at $100M or having the attack follow through at the cost of $300M. Therefore, in the long run the potential market size is enough to destroy Maersk.

As a mildly related note, if anybody here is a member of the infosec community I have a question:

How much do you think it would cost for a targeted attack to breach and cause significant damage to the best system you have every personally observed? How did you verify that number? Three pentests by three different competent companies paid that amount and that found no vulnerabilities of note would be convincing. I would likely find other things on that general level convincing, but I can not declare them off-hand.
The Problem with America’s Lab Mice [video]
Mass surveillance will causes even greater problems, if failings like the ones in the article keep happening, which is likely. Look at the MI5 arresting some students based on nothing but a list of different meaning, baseless assumptions and jumping to conclusions. Now imagine such data gathered on a massive scale and the process of bad decision making fully automated. Secret agencies close to the military building a paranoid delusional AI that searches for threats from humans. What could possibly go wrong?

I'd be surprised to learn that there's any sensible optimization that the compiler/runtime can make to ensure optimal data locality. The problem is difficult enough that the entire Unity engine is being pretty much rewritten to make use of sequential memory access.

In addition, I really, really wish more JS developers actually cared to learn about optimization and about how the runtime/hardware actually works. We've "developed" the web to such a slow, buggy mess that I've given up on the idea that there's any way to fix it. I hope somebody figures out a way to start over, preferably with no scripting capability, because apparently giving people any half-baked scripting language results in them soon developing nuclear footguns with it.
I haven't read the article entirely because it very quickly started to feel like a conspiracy piece by avoiding the topic as long as possible, but I'm sure if any of the other search engines succeeded then we'd be seeing people digging up whatever dirt they could on them.

I'm sure there was some input from american surveillance in the creation of a lot of modern computer tools, but this would be indirect influence at best, and the three letter agencies gambling on already existing technology at worst.

iPad and FaceTime. Keep it simple.

I don't think that's a winning argument. Many (perhaps most) people will be able to show that they did not benefit from any inherited wealth. Many people (including black people!) did not have ancestors in America at the time. For example, under this argument, would Obama be entitled to reparations, given his mother was white and his father an international student from Kenya? Should people have to prove they had enslaved ancestors? What if a black person's ancestors were themselves slaveowners?

It seems much simpler and more honest to say: black people face systemic racism today and therefore we're going to pay each person identifying as black $x every y or at one time. This way you only have to win two arguments: that systemic racism exists, and that people deserve reparations because of it. You don't have to put people on the defensive about their ancestors and whether or not they should feel guilty and in some way personally responsible for reparations, nor do you have to worry about people proving they had ancestors personally affected by slavery or racism.

This will be pretty divisive by itself - a few people don't believe systemic racism is a meaningful concept, or will argue it applies to other groups as well, including white people, and special treatment of any group of people solely because their race will never be very popular. But your approach is extremely divisive and polarizing: putting people on notice that it's their fault and they benefited from this system (whether they did or not, and most people will be quite convinced they did not, and some of them will be right) is about as polarizing as you can get. I don't see any advantage to it. It will foster extremism on both sides.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this thought. Some errors (and languages) are easier to understand than others, but there is SO MUCH text and energy wasted on languages' level of "readability". Everything is hard to read until you learn to read it. I can't read Greek; there's even a saying about it, but that doesn't make it unreadable. (Credit to Rich Hickey for that, albeit paraphrased badly.)
The fact that there were a sufficient number of emigrants that they were prevented from leaving by travel prohibitions, walls, barbed wire, minefields and snipers should tell you about living conditions by itself.

The majority of people in every place where media is tightly controlled will believe what parents, teachers, papers and TV tell them. North Koreans have a positive view of Kim Jong Il, mainland Chinese have a positive view of Mao. That doesn't mean that either of them weren't objectively horrible in terms of competent leadership or morality.
on the other hand, having devs an alien workstation really put stress into the application configurability and adaptability in general.

it's harder in all the way you describe, but it's much more likely the software will survive migrating to the next debian/centos release unchanged.

it all boils down to the temporal scale of the project.

It was also because Intel was like this giant steamroller you couldn't compete with because it was also selling desktop CPUs.

Sure they have lower margins on desktop but these brings sh!t tons of cash, cash you will then use for research and to develop your next desktop and server CPUs.
If I believe this page [1], consumer CPUs brought almost $10 billions in 2019... In comparison, server CPUs generated $7 billions of revenues... And these days, Intel has like >90% of that market.

Other players (Sun, HP, IBM, Digital, ...) were playing in a walled garden and couldn't really compete on any of that (except pricing because their stuff was crazy expensive).

So not only they were sharing the server market with Intel but Intel was most likely earning more than the sum of it all from their desktop CPUs...
More money, more research, more progress shared between the consumer and server CPUs: rinse and repeat and eventually you will catch up. And also, they could sell their server CPUs for a lot less than their "boutique" competitors.

You just can't compete with a player which has almost unlimited funds and executes well...

I’m saying I don’t believe there’s any real strength benefits from adding large amounts of chromium and nickel.

316 (marine / medics grade) stainless has a yield stength if about 600Mpa, whereas high tensile carbon steels exceed that, and adding enough chromium to make corrosion resistant stainless steel makes it a pain in the bottom to work with.

You don’t need to add all that expensive chromium (11%+) to obtain high strength steels.

Dissimilar metals in contact with each other are a problem because they form a battery due to moisture and solutes, thereby causing electrolysis. This would be much less of an issue in the vacuum of space.

SPEC is a better cross platform benchmark, since it's an industry standard and was designed just for cross platform testing.

>Overall, in terms of performance, the A13 and the Lightning cores are extremely fast. In the mobile space, there’s really no competition as the A13 posts almost double the performance of the next best non-Apple SoC. The difference is a little bit less in the floating-point suite, but again we’re not expecting any proper competition for at least another 2-3 years, and Apple isn’t standing still either.

Last year I’ve noted that the A12 was margins off the best desktop CPU cores. This year, the A13 has essentially matched best that AMD and Intel have to offer – in SPECint2006 at least. In SPECfp2006 the A13 is still roughly 15% behind.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/14892/the-apple-iphone-11-pro...

I think performance per watt is going to be just as important as overall performance. Apple's "little" cores were a new design in the A13, and compare very well against stock ARM cores on a performance per watt basis.

>In the face-off against a Cortex-A55 implementation such as on the Snapdragon 855, the new Thunder cores represent a 2.5-3x performance lead while at the same time using less than half the energy.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/14892/the-apple-iphone-11-pro...

It will be interesting to see how much performance they can get when they are on a level playing field when it comes to power and cooling constraints.
I came here to see this. We didn't have Xanax in Sweden growing up but we did carry Valium or Xanor. Xanor has the same active ingredient as Xanax. Someone claimed Valium would help too but I doubt it.

You're right, that wasn't a 30M attack. But that's because there aren't any 30M attacks that we know of (coming from economically-motivated attackers). NotPetya as a whole would have cost <100k for example. Probably the most successful financial attacks have been carried by APT38. It is assumed that it's NK so it might not even fit parameters of a typical crew that multinationals care about, but even these attacks would have cost <2M per attack and 300M is close to what they got in total after all these years, no single attack lead to such payment.

So, your math just does not represent real life. Criminals that have 30M lying around are looking for a way to get out and would rather invest their money into legitimate(ish) businesses with lower ROI, criminals that don't have 30M would rather invest into multiple smaller campaigns with higher ROI rather than putting all their eggs into one basket, developers that can attract valley level salary on black market can also find positions in the valley or at defense contractors.

On the other hand just because company faces X damages does not mean they are willing to pay anywhere near to X to avoid them. Ethical issues aside, Maersk would have faced impressive damages even if they decided to pay out ransom. Their operations would have been disrupted regardless, they would need to carry out the massive data restoration anyway. Their networks where compromised and there were no guarantees about consistency/integrity of restored data or that paying out ransom wouldn't make them even bigger targets and that hackers (possibly some other crew) wouldn't return next week through the same or different vulnerabilities. So they would need to plan extremely fast migration to win10 in any case, as well as fixing their network architecture, permission systems, putting in place mitigations, buying new defensive solutions and requiring various consulting services. It is hard to say how much money would they be able to save if they would have chosen to pay ransom (and if NotPetya was a ransomware), but it wouldn't be anywhere close to 300M, maybe just <10M.

That's ignorant not pedantic. Attackers spent month on spearphishing attacks targeting Coinbase engineers specifically which included making verifyable fake identities and compromising Cambridge web & mail systems. That's exact opposite of a large-scale opportunistic attack.
