Its just incredible how big the world is and how much stuff is getting produced and consumed. These ships are huge.
Now that you say that, that points out why it probably shouldn't catch on. That attitude being taken seriously widespread could have some bad effects on the right to a fair trial. Fundamental rights should not be toyed with lightly. Even people who commit such a horrible act still have that fundamental right, because if they don't, that sets the precedent for myself or any other person to not have the right to a fair trial because of an accusation of a crime-too-horrible.

I still hate the immortality CNN bestows to mass shooters.
its quite high, its hard to compare different fields since in a more active field papers will get cited more often.
George Whitesides, one of the most cited chemists is at almost 270.
So I thought about it, and even if a small drone was loaded with explosives it really couldn’t damage a war ship. Unless it attacked the sensors.

A shaped charge hitting the EOSS, the radar dome, or parts of the Aegis system’s sensor array could potentially cripple the ship’s ability to defend itself.
> Do those things have the capability to attack such tiny targets that are already close in?

Yes

> We're talking about something the size and speed of a bird

Birds have nothing on stealthy, supersonic anti-ship missiles.

> By the time you realize it's not a bird it's probably already on top of you

In a war scenario all wildlife gets shot first. Modern systems developed in the past ten years also commonly have the capability to discern bird wings from propellers for this scenario. Hurray cheaper compute, everybody can run a SVM classifier in real-time now. Without spending too much money on your radar (40k USD? parts only) you can classify birds at about 0.5-1km away, who knows the exact capability of people with money to spend on the problem.

> I would imagine defenses for such small UAVs would be more in the vein of electronic countermeasures.

?Porque no los dos?

Don't know if that last part has always been true.
Thanks for your response. By the way how did you find this thread? I thought it might’ve long been lost to the sea of submissions.
Prior to 9/11, hijackers weren't resisted... tactics changed after that. Active defense is now a reasonable strategy.

During the cold war drones were huge, noisy, expensive, and had relatively short endurance. They weren't used in waves like drones can be now.

Zone denial seems like a reasonable response to today's threat environment.
I can't recall where, but I saw something that said that they cost about a million dollars each.
In HTTP/1 the server can send a header “Connection: Keep-Alive” to tell the client that it doesn’t have to close the socket after receiving the reply, and can send another request. (HTTP/2+ have this built into the wire protocol and don’t need the header.) If the browser doesn’t have another request to send immediately, it will still keep the connection in a “socket pool” for a while in case it needs to make another request to the server later.
Nothing to see, move along

Where else are they going to test, Patuxant?
How is it that something like this just happened now? The canal has been open for decades, is it that they probably loaded one extra container on a ship like this and that was the straw that broke the camel's back?
> The lack of support for TLS 1.3 made it impossible to download much of anything.

I think you must have lacked support for TLS-1.2? Very few websites/servers require TLS-1.3
In other words, inflation wipes out debt. No wonder all governments issuing debt like crazy.
Czech and Slovak rep. are world leaders in pandemic deaths recently, with the rest of the region not far behind. And it can be easily linked to lack of competent people with guts to lead. Of course, individuals can still have pleasant experiences like you describe and not notice the cracks in the system, but that does not really prove anything.

Did you see some representation of size?
An eg Exocet missile is only 12" in diameter when it's approaching you head-on. So optically it would be similar to a DJI-size drone. Thermal will be vastly different ;)
I got access a week or two ago, but I'd signed up a long time ago, IIRC even before the Microsoft license.
In the past, before pervasive telemetry and HTTPS everywhere it was possible for some kinds of spying. For large, complex corporate networks with a significant cloud presence, it is now impossible.

A Cisco backdoor was found by a paranoid system admin about a decade ago. He didn't trust the vendor firewalls, so he passed everything through a Linux firewall and compared the logs using a script. Every "flow" reported by the commercial firewall was matched against the packet log of the Linux firewall.

He noticed that when he called Cisco support, the logs diverged. There were suddenly inbound and outbound flows from his Cisco gear that it wasn't logging, only the Linux firewall logged the flow.

He captured the traffic while calling Cisco support and quickly figured out that there was a hard-coded back door.

When he raised a stink, Cisco released a patch... which just changed the password.

When pressed, they basically said in a press release: "We were forced to do this, other vendors have similar configurations, and we cannot legally say anything more."

Reading between the lines: Cisco support figured that it was oh-so-convenient to use the NSA-mandated back door for their own troubleshooting purposes.
Who wants to start a company to disrupt logistics software like? Closest thing I can think of is Flexport.
It's kind of unintuitive, because when they're "on" the beat cycles through your active pizzas. As someone else commented, you can click on the outer edge to turn them back off.

What this really needs is the capability to edit pizzas when they're not currently being cycled through, so you can queue up new rhythms.
I played around with a lot of digital and verbal clock faces when I got my smart watch, but keep coming back to an analog face because it really helps me visualize how time is passing, or how much time I have before I have to do something. I'm not great at math, so maybe it's easier for me to process the change in angle of the minute hand instead of adding or subtracting from a number.

Now that you mention it, there aren't many analog clocks in my house anymore. My grandfather clock needs a spring replaced so it stands still until I can get around to doing that (again), and I don't bother winding my cuckoo clock most days. The rest are mostly watches I don't wear unless my smart watch is charging or too delicate for whatever I'm doing.
I think the issue is that we can't.
We can't even terraform the Earth.
15% overhead is actually pretty low all things considering.
I've just been seeing what David has been showing off. :)
Here is my optimized in-place Rust implementation [1].

It is a very tricky algorithm to get right. There are many edge cases that only happen for ~2^-64 fractions of the input space, so hard to find even with fuzz-testing. Best strategy is to implement it for small limbs first, and fuzz that well.

Fair point. Based on the admittedly thin circumstantial evidence in the article, I assumed relatively small craft. For example,

1) Why would a Carnival cruise ship feel the need to disclaim involvement for anything except a small, COTS drone? (IOW, presumably they at least believed they could have been such small drones.)

2) 4+ were spotted together. Wouldn't those be audible, especially if much larger than COTS drones?

3) The lights ("white light", "red flashing light") suggests COTS drones, especially because the cruise ship also noticed them. If they were special purpose military or intelligence drones, why keep the lights on?

Granted, the supposed distances involved suggest otherwise, but the article never establishes why they believed the drones were necessarily flown such distances. Rather, it seems those distances are based on the presumption that the drones were flown from one of the ships with active AIS. But that's a rather dubious assumption in the context of someone buzzing military ships w/ multiple drones.

Also Venus is closer (minimum 38.2 million kilometer for Venus vs minimum distance of 55.7 million for Mars).

My takeaway from this is at the end of the article where there are links to multiple other drone swarm incidents. This includes an incident at Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant and an anti-ballistic missile battery in Guam. Yikes, this isn't the first time a high-value asset has been targeted by drone swarms?
I tried the same prompt on the open-source recreation of OpenAI GPT-3 -- GPT Neo (https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neo), specifically on their 2.7B model -- which should correspond to the smallest model in the article (Ada) that produced just pure garbage. The result is surprisingly good:

4. Are there any lucky cats who get to sleep in my bed every night?
5. Are black and whites everywhere? Running for the hills
6. My younger brother and I used to play a game. He’d pretend to be a bull in the pasture, and I’d pretend to be the one being held.
7. Why was this movie rated PG? Because it’s rated PG.
8. When is the last time you had to see a movie in children’s theaters?
9. You are so sexy I would hate for anyone to see you down here
10. I’d love to sleep with you right now, but I have a child with me
we are terraforming the earth - see how much co2 is being pumped out!

> Gop

Is GOP, it's an acronym for Grand Old Party.

But I was just describing the current climate, the Repubs, never cared about dereg until recently when they realized that FB and Google are abusing their power, but all the GOP solutions involved draconian backwards thinking that would only make things worse.

> Both parties want to hurt Google and Facebook for perceived political bias.

Not quite, GOP wants to hurt 'em, Dems are very happy with them, and all their "dereg" is basically aimed at giving them more power.
For a UAV hovering over the helicopter pad I would imagine that small arms would suffice.

Touche, you are technically correct.

Though some might argue that in the changing nature of fusion reactions and body mass, this sorting of sub-stellar bodies is only true for as long as our star is a red dwarf.

Once that's over (thinking in the larger timescale of things) and it becomes a brown dwarf, what then? Wasn't it a solar system at one point in time?

If anyone (with sufficient resources) can send a drone swarm to go harass, or worse, anyone, including the US Navy, and there's nothing that can be done about it then eventually I think something quite bad is going to happen.

It reminds me of 9/11. Everyone knew that crashing commercial aircraft could cause a great deal of destruction but somehow we could never prepare for such a scenario until it actually happened.

Does anyone actually use Azure Arc?

Azure Policy to me seems like a tech demo more than a polished product. Even for common tasks such as enabling Diagnostics they just provide some "sample" policies, and then authoring the other 275 distinct policies for each resource type that can be monitored is your problem.

Does anyone have any real-world experience with it?
It took Victoria 3+ months to go from 700 case to 0. How long do you think it would take America to go from 70,000 cases to 0?

The longer a lockdown, the less severe it can be. Supply chains don't have 4-5 months of leeway. People aren't going to avoid their friends and family for that long.

I think there is a point of no-return where there are too many infected people in too many corners of a given population to ever really contain it again.
I wonder how effective two giant ground based winches would be, pulling on the mooring attachment points, on diagonally opposite sides of the ship?

If it remains stuck, perhaps they might need to bring in a suction dredger to work on the area around the bow?

Why not start with the leaders of the USA, Israel and the West for their notorious war crimes?

At least North Korea hasn't invaded anyone for the last 60 years. As they said in the Nuremberg trials, aggression is the ultimate war crimes, a capital one.
Indian education is based on rote memorization. That is why they think they can memorize their way to a degree in CS, and end up graduating while still not being able to program. So yes that one is another systemic problem.

I live in the West and not sure I've ever even been to a bona fide dinner party. How does one get a grown child into a middle management position? You mean nepotism?

Over-represented means more than elsewhere. Not something you can disprove with some examples.

I have also worked with the Chinese, and yes in my experience they are much more likely to try and be "clever" by putting something over on you than others. Japanese are very different people to deal with. Part of it surely is that China is developing and the lines are still blurry in acceptable business behavior. But I think their history (of eliminating capitalism then having to rebuild a culture of it from scratch) plays a role too.
Perhaps, but I'm not convinced that these things are actually all that fast, or at least the ones popularized in Gimbal and Go-Fast. The trigonometry just doesn't work out.

Related to separate paper on using a different method for linear equation solving from a few weeks ago https://www.quantamagazine.org/new-algorithm-breaks-speed-li... seems likely if you can use a different method for solving linear equations, it may be that some matrix multiplication can also be improved using a different method.
Which one are you using? I'd love this. It's usually precisely to reference it in a bug report, to a coworker, in a support case explaining software behaviour, etc.
If it's broadcast news, then there's some sort of uplink/downlink involved?

Heroku Buy AWS services at standard AWS Price (X) * (Substantial) Discount.

HeroKu Sell their services at (Y) where currently Y is >(X).

If they had acquired Heroku by Selling it at AWS Price (X), Amazon is still earning where they previously were not earning from those heavy Discount. At the expense of the Operational Cost of Heroku Team. And the benefits of further lock in and additional market segment which is currently not very well served by AWS.

> Rather than link to those campaign promises, I'll point out that the current legislative strategy for restoring competition to the tech sector is being spearheaded by Democratic Representative David Cicilline

This is mostly about forcing BigTech(tm) to censor more free speech and calling that legislation "breaking up big tech" it's anything but.

I will admit that Warren has been beating the monopoly busting drum for 10 years now, unfortunately she's kinda made herself irrelevant with her other policies and claims.
I don't see any real similarity between those two situations.

There aren't any details in the article on the size of the drones or their distance but I think a destroyer would have a wide range of weapons available from which to choose the appropriate level of response.

Doing nothing and hoping it goes away doesn't seem like the wisest response to this type of incident.
Well, you probably didn't read the text. There are very fine-defined points to compare, nobody draws any wild parallels.

Just shooting from the hip here, maybe bearer bonds were a lot easier to sell back in the era before universal telegraph/telephone service? And then maybe they just took a while to go away, as old financial institutions often do?
The US military/intelligence apparatus is so large it wouldn't surprise me if this is yet another case of the left hand not knowing what the right is up to. Or maybe they had a vague idea, considering they didn't even attempt to shoot them down. Going off the nonchalant response, this is probably not the first time UAVs have flown over their ships. Except this time it was unplanned, and so kicked off an investigation.

I'm getting UFO crank vibes from both authors social media. Also no mention of request for comment from any official in the reporting. Just building a narrative from a selective release of FIOA requests.
I don’t use Substack, but what you say matches my understanding of the service. Substack isn’t a brand consumers look for or trust, it’s a brand authors look for and trust. If you are an author, it is a platform which you can build your brand atop. Substack is the platform where you can monetize that readership.
Exactly. Users have unfortunately learned to fear the worst. And judging by many reactions here, presumable some from developers, a good number of developers don’t understand their users expectations of privacy and transparency.
As other responders have pointed out, the interest should be 2.5% x 1,000 Guilders, not 2.5% of the amount of gold that was in 1,000 Guilders in 1,648.

Its worth going through the math: 2.5% x 1,000 Guilders = 25 Guilders. The Netherlands replaced the Guilder with the Euro in 2002, with an exchange rate of 2.20371 Guilders per Euro. If we interpret the contact as being due in Euros, then the interest should be €11.34/year, or at today's exchange rate, $13.44/year.

Real estate law has this concept of “Coming to the nuisance” where if you know that there is some kind of “nuisance” nearby and you move next to it anyway, you can’t complain about it later. I’m not a lawyer so I’m probably pedantically wrong about it in some way but that’s my understanding of it. People do this with small local airports all the time. They move in, knowing full well (or should know full well) that there is an airport there, then a year later they bitch and moan about the noise and try to shut it down.
False sharing has nothing to do with misaligned atomics.

It's about having multiple CPUs actively use the same cache line. This is what happens when you try to make your data independent to remove locks, and you end up with extremely high contention with others when accessing your data, because the cache line cannot be in exclusive state in each core, so you spend your time flushing 64 bytes at once for each 4-byte write.

The typical case is this:

uint32_t counter[MAX_THREADS];

And have each thread perform counter[thread_id]++;
Without noticing this is packing 16 threads on the same cache line. It can make your 16 threads work at roughly the same speed as a single one. And sometimes worse.

The solution here is to identify all the data that are changed together within a same thread, and pack them together in a struct which you arrange in arrays:

struct local_stuff {
uint32_t counter;
uint32_t max;
...
__attribute__((aligned(64)));
} per_thread_stuff[MAX_THREADS] __attribute__((aligned(64)));

Then you can safely access that stuff without false sharing (provided the base of array is itself aligned).

That's where "pahole" is extremely useful: seeing the amount of free space in the structure often encourages you to add more data there for free.
