Probably not because nobody else at the university is affected, and probably won't be for a dozen more years when someone else happens to get interested in something. Even in CS there are a ton of legitimate projects to work on, so a ban on just one common one isn't going to be noticed without more attention.

Note that I suspect enough people have gotten notice by the press now.
I think you are confusing monetary policy with fiscal policy.
The bad actors here should be expelled and deported. The nationalities involved make it clear this is likely a backfired foreign intelligence operation and not just 'research'.

They were almost certainly expecting an obvious bad patch to be reverted while trying to sneak by a less obvious one.
It would be a lot easier and more marketable to take the more run down single family homes that have become too expensive for most people and do rebuilds that turn that lot into two homes. The financial model for a developer is easier too, you do the transaction and you’re done, as opposed to needing to be a landlord for a long time, or find just the right kind of investor to buy a 4-unit apartment (which is really rare).

There is an entire spectrum of housing types that are generally referred to as the “missing middle,” which are common in old cities and European cities but virtually non existent in post-ww2 America.

That’s what removing or relaxing single family zoning should allow.

How about opening few bug reports to correctly report the final response of the community and the actual impact?

Not asking to harass them: if anyone should do it, it would be the kernel devs, and I'm not one of them
Another 2015MBP stalwart here. I wasn't planning on upgrading to an ARM Mac.

I use BootCamp (daily lately, since we're in lockdown and it's snowing) for gaming on Windows with an eGPU. Neither of which are supported on the M1.

I'm considering selling my eGPU and just building a gaming PC (the M3 will likely be out by the time I pull trig though :/), but it was nice to have 1 machine do it all (work + play), especially since I didn't need the eGPU to play some couch co-op games (Cuphead, Castle Crashers, very cottage-friendly!)
Trade single band noise for broadband noise? Wouldn't recommend powerline.

Not that powerline doesn't work (sometimes), but it radiates and raises the noise floor for all sorts of frequencies, pretty much by design.
Yeah... I'm not going to go down the rabbit hole for you. You have to have been paying attention. These things turned out to be false but were continuously reported on at length as if they were true, even though plenty of sound skepticism existed at the time and a basic, continuous, genuine application of journalistic standards would have compelled then to ask, what is this based on? And discovered it was nothing or made-up.

When it comes to your links, consider that media ranking the media is perhaps not the least-biased judgment. Outlets branding themselves as fact-checkers are often particularly egregious. Snopes, for example, can't even dispassionately and accurately rate stories that do not fit a woke worldview.

I once read a NYT "fact check" that was checking a trump quote. One of the quotes was "we've been fighting in the middle east for 17 years." They rated this statement False, flat-out. Why? The correction stated, "We've been fighting in afghanistan for 17 years, but afghanistan is not the middle east. We've been fighting in the middle east for 16 years."

It completely ignored the point of the statement to issue a False rating on a technicality. Any reasonable interpretation would not have done so.

This is an example of the accuracy of modern-day "fact-checking." It's basically made up.
The nation is seeing extreme increases in price, maybe that’s a bubble. HCOL areas like the Bay Area, LA, and Seattle I doubt are in a bubble.

There has been a lot of liquidity injected into the market. A portion of it has gone to tech stocks and people wanting to hedge against inflation. Guess who gets that liquidity when they vest?

Last year buying a home in the Bay Area was something I planned to do in a few years. A year later I own a home.

I’m not the only one, there are tons of all cash offers out there right now.

You need 40-50% liquid of the home you’re making an offer on right now to be competitive. No contingencies, cover appraisal gaps, etc.

I honestly don’t care if it’s a bubble at this point. If my home value drops 50% whatever I have a home where I want to be. I have equity and other investments like I did while renting.

The 2D part is well explained, however, I am interested in how they made it 3D. They have voxels, but the actual rendering is a bit unclear.

I guess they simply didn't do much work on that part, using some bruteforce-ish raymarching technique, which their fast evaluation and nicely bound objects allows. They mention further work though, like sparse voxel octrees, improving culling, etc... So I guess that will be for a "future episode".
I thought modern processors had enough branch prediction that threaded interpreters were no longer faster than a normal switch loop.

*immiseration of those who don't hold assets

Which is precisely what's been happening. Just take a walk around any major urban center in the U.S. There is misery in the streets. The opioid crisis is another manifestation of the same despair. Historic civil unrest, "eat the rich" / "billionaires shouldn't exist" rhetoric heating up. Etc. etc.
Actually how does this work? If you work for another company later they own what you create then?
Correct. My assertion is that the Fed overshot this by increasing the money supply by ~24% in a single year, causing all asset prices to skyrocket (see link in original post). All the money sloshing around the market is exactly what makes it a bubble. Nearly all assets and industries are considerably higher in valuation despite having a much grimmer outlook with everything that has happened over the last year
Instead of not being nice, maybe Linux should adopt some sort of CI and testing infrastructure.

> either terrified of inflation or riding a euphoria of asset inflation.

Why not both?

At this point, the biggest risk I see is a materials shortage that the Fed can’t fix by adding zeros in a database. Such as gas prices spiking, or food shortages, or some other critical infrastructure failing.
I’ve only used IRBs in medical research but my gf routinely seeks approval for her sociological research.

Did they evens seek IRB approval? Being from the CS department they might not have even considered it.
Agree that universities don't (and shouldn't) act with a single purpose or intent, but they need to have institutional controls in place that prevent really bad ideas from negatively affecting the surrounding community. Those seem to be lacking in this case, and in their absence I think the kernel maintainers' actions are entirely justified.
The author of the patches, Aditya Pakki, is a second year PHD student as per his website https://adityapakki.github.io/about/

He himself is to blame for submitting these kind of patches and claiming innocence. If a person as old as him can't figure out what's ethical and what's not, then that person deserves what comes out of actions like these.
Could you imagine if Amazon acquired JetBrains and GitLab and made "Code with JetBrains, Git/CI/CD with GitLab, Deploy to AWS" easier than doing it any other way they could permanently prevent GCP or Azure from threatening their lead in the cloud.

But that would take vision, charisma, the willingness to take bold steps... so it will never happen.
By in large no. The Nazi experiments were based on faulty race science and were indistinguishable from brutal torture and what remains is either useless or impossible to reproduce for ethical reasons.
You don't need Visual Studio for C#, I write all C# and F# in VS Code with official MS extension, you can use the dotnet CLI to do everything (install packages, build tasks, etc, just like cargo/npm/etc).

The experience is surprisingly good.

If you want to create and build + run a .NET web API, you just do:

"dotnet new webapi"

>cd into the directory

"dotnet run"
The fed just credit the account of the government. The securities buying part is just a legal requirement.
don’t think so. look at canada’s housing market, look at NZ. those markets are truly insane compared to the US, and they’re not printing a ton of money or experiencing major inflation. housing has become a good investment simply because the supply isn’t great enough in desirable areas, and people with money recognize it. inflation is up, but not on the scale you claim.
Thats exactly my point, and is exactly why I'm pointing it out. The argument from this group of people ignores that the state still exists. The state is not being eliminated, its being shifted somewhere else. A lot of times the process to shift that state somewhere else is not worth the cost.
What's the difference between v1 and v2? I feel like that should be at the top of the page.
Nobody else that the UMN is even contributing patches, other than these bad faith ones, so this is only banning one set of bugs. Given that a lot of bugs have come from one source banning that source bans a lot of bugs. It doesn't stop them all, but it stops some.
Oh. I don't care that there is some thirdparty. Its negligable, the only important actors in the event are:
- Susan the CEO of Youtube
- Youtube team
- Google/Alphabet team
- People/Users

People share the optics of the event.
The fact this institute got into this mess is kinda sad, but their impactfulness here is really 0.
Despite all that it seems like shade scheme to nominate some rich ceo and beg for money to make some fakish award. But like I said nobody cares about them... there are worse scams to fight against.
> utilize tools to find potential vulnerabilities for every commit.

The paper doesn't actually have concrete suggestions for tools, just hand-waving about "use static analysis tools, better than the ones you already use" and "use fuzzers, better than those that already exist."

The work was a stunt to draw attention to the problem of malicious committers. In that regard, it was perhaps successful. The authors' first recommendation is for the kernel community to increase accountability and liability for malicious committers, and GregKH is doing a fantastic job at that by holding umn.edu accountable.
Yes. Manually looping over rows in a dataframe is wildly inefficient.
Perfect encapsulation of why I love working in infosec.
Money laundering raising comps and everyone else then using those comps to justify prices. Incredibly cheap money, and everyone wanting to live in a house instead of condo/apartment. Demand is >> supply - limited supply means the prices rise. Doesn't explain everything but certainly points to some of the what I will say is insanity in the market.
There is value in both, at Fauna we provide GraphQL out the box. Using Fauna directly would eliminate an indirection and is probably slightly more efficient. However, if there is a GraphQL layer like Prisma in between you could essentially change to any database with less impact on your application. This is tremendously interesting for people who develop frameworks, using prisma gives them the advantage of supporting multiple databases immediately. Or for application developers it could allow you to move from a non-scalable database to a scalable database once it becomes necessary or simply just switch databases if the database maintenance is causing you grief. I'm for one looking forward to Prisma supporting Fauna since if the interface is the same, there are even less reasons not to choose a scalable managed database instead of managing your own db :). And I would say that Prismas interface is quite great!

Note: the performance impact does depend heavily on whether your database maps well on ORMs. Traditional databases have an impedance missmatch when it comes to translating tables to an objet format. Graph databases or the way Fauna works (documents with relations and map/reduce-like joins) map well on ORMs so the performance impact would be small.
Then they would not be accepting any patches from any contributors, as the only truly safe option when dealing with an explicitly and admittedly, or assumed known malicious actor is to disregard their work entirely. You cannot know the scope of a malicious plot in advance, and any benign piece of work can be fatal in some unknown later totality.

As with all human projects, some level and balance of trust and security is needed to get work done. And the gradient shifts as downstream forks have higher security demands / less trust, and (in the case of nation states) more resources and time to both move slower, validate changes and establish and verify trust.
Apple Is an Accomplice to Fraud
> It totally is if your goal as a hacker is generating a better outcome for security. Read the paper, see what they actually did, they just jerked themselves off over how they were better than the open source community, and generated a sum total of zero helpful recommendations.

The beauty of it is that by "jerking themselves off", they are generating a better outcome for security. In spirit, this reaction of the kernel team is not that different from Microsoft attempting to bring asshole hacker kids behind bars for exposing them. When Microsoft realized that this didn't magically make Windows more secure, they fixed the actual problems. Windows security was a joke in the early 2000s, now it's arguably better than Linux. Why? Because those asshole hacker kids actually changed the process.

> So they subverted a process, introduced a Use After vulnerability and didn't do jack shit to improve it.

The value added here is to show that the process could be subverted, the lessons are to be learned by someone else.
This is a reaction to [0] . A community to stop unapproved and possibly unethical research on you, your open source projects, and your community.

I've had top of the line Intel/Windows laptops since the dawn of time, and the latency and responsiveness of my Air destroys them all. Simply navigating through the OS is crisp as is dealing with apps.

My XPS always had tiny bits of lag here and there, enough so that I hated using it. I hated doing any intensive work with it because the fans were annoying. My Air completely stomps it in speed and is silent while doing it.

Surfing with Safari is noticeably faster than on any other computer I have, even my much more powerful Ryzen 3700. Even my Ipad Air 4 is much faster than any browser on my Ryzen machine.

Rosetta 2 just works.

Compare the M1 Air to the new ARM Surface (which is 50% more expensive), and you see how far behind MS is. Their ARM cpu is 5 years out of date, and their x86>ARM translation software is flat out broken. Keep in mind MS has been fiddling with ARM devices, so they have zero excuse for being so far behind.

I'm not a platform evangelist, but Apple is firing on all cylinders and nailing execution across the board. MS seems disinterested in software, and Intel is lost at sea.
One of the best pieces of financial advice I have learned is, is to ignore all predictions of bubbles. They are almost always wrong or premature. Even if you sell, prices may never fall to where you sold even if the bubble bursts. For example, had you sold your stocks in 1996 because of fears of a stock market bubble, when the market did crash in 2000-2003 and again in 2008 it would never revisit the price you sold. You would have also missed out on all the dividends. Pundits also said Facebok was a bubble in 2012 after it went public and Google in 2004 too and Amazon and Tesla, etc. .The list goes on.
I would say the research was a success. They found that when a bad actor submits malicious patches they are appropriately banned from the project.
> if inflation was actually much greater than they've claimed you would see a gradual immiseration of the population.

Have you been watching the news lately? Keep watching. Violence and deaths of despair are skyrocketing and will continue to.

This is a community that thinks it’s gross negligence if something with a real name on it fails to be airgapped.

Social shame and reputation damage may be useful defense mechanisms in general, but in a hacker culture where the right to make up arbitrarily many secret identities is a moral imperative, people who burn their identities can just get new ones. Banning or shaming is not going to work against someone with actual malicious intent.
Bullshit.

And it will die under weight of technical debt made by very ambitious and very incompetent early devs.

It won't scale. For that different programming paradigm, design decisions and set of tools are required.
...as older people leave their homes newer people should be able to take there place.

Here in the UK, older people have not been leaving their homes because of covid lockdowns which is one of the reasons why there is a shortage of houses to buy. The one exception is retirement apartments.
Cash offer doesn’t necessarily mean the buyer has cash. There are services like https://www.flyhomes.com/ that will make a man all cash offer then help you refinance it.

In addition, if you waive all financing and appraisal contingencies that’s often called a cash offer as you’re obligated to close even if you can’t get financing.
Well, the right to keep and bear arms is constitutional in the US, so forgive me for discounting that statement.
I think people who have a home are also largely taking a wait and see approach and not trying to move, which constrains supply further.
Right, but, all other assets seem to be doing exactly the same thing.
Which is probably true. Doesn't excuse it.

Note, that I'm not trying to excuse the UMN either.
Large organizations can fail though, so there is an upper limit to inefficiency; governments can't, so the limit to inefficiency (and corruption) is virtually non-existing.
> Though I disagree with the research in general, if you did want to research "hypocrite commits" in an actual OSS setting, there isn't really any other way to do it other than actually introducing bugs per their proposal.

they could've done the much harder work of studying all of the incoming patches looking for bugs, and then just not reporting their findings until the kernel team accepts the patch.

the kernel has a steady stream of incoming patches, and surely a number of bugs in them to work with.

yeah it would've cost more, but would've also generated significant value for the kernel.
Weirdly enough
It has been shown that the input that small children receive is much much larger than originally thought by the proponents of that theory. How parents stress certain words, how they make small pauses, how they look and point at things when talking, how they repeat a sentence correctly with emphasis when the child said it wrongly (Child: "apple green". Parent: "Oh, you want the GREEN APPLE? Here you are."). Wasn't there even a guy who said "How can children learn languages without pre-determined laws? Wouldn't that require being constantly corrected by their parents?". Well, see my example with the apple.

Anyway, this discussion is going nowhere. Notify me if there is other evidence apart from "I cannot imagine how the human brain can do that". As other people have written in a similar thread some months ago, this is pseudo-science.
The video calls feature of this is a VERY interesting twist: when I'm pairing with someone via MS Teams usually we're just remote-viewing Visual Studio (and pushing/pulling code from git) but every so often it's necessary to share the screen to show what the app is doing or what the logs are doing locally. The video feature, while advertised as "see the face of your colleague" would be really useful for showing the telemetry or screen of the app you're working on together -- without the need for an external conferencing app.
> The housing supply argument doesn’t hold up to me, as older people leave their homes newer people should be able to take there place.

Not only are populations growing, but there is a net migration toward high demand areas.

Look at real estate listings in many smaller Midwest cities and you’ll see large inventories of very nice, very affordable homes. Older people are moving out but no one is there to buy them.

Meanwhile, many popular cities are fully built out. It’s musical chairs with existing housing inventory, plus a few high density reconstruction projects here and there.

We thought remote work would enable people to move away from expensive cities, but it turns out many people choose to live in popular, high-demand areas once they no longer have to live near their office.

As long as supply is fixed and demand continues to grow, prices will go up.
The main issue here is that it wastes the time of the reviewers and they did not address it in their reply.
To be fair, you're not the first to suggest methods like that. Soviet population transfer comes to mind. Not that I condone such measures. I find them quite revolting.

It seems like this debacle has created a lot of extra work for the kernel maintainers. Perhaps they should ask the university to compensate them.
I do not say that the lockdowns make the pandemic worse, I say that the lockdowns make life of people worse. The mass media are making a great confusion, between "pandemic" and "life in general", and so do people, and that's what I am specifically criticizing.
