Several such "motion chips" have onboard motion processing. As a random example the MPU-9250[1], a 9-DOF IMU, has a low-power pedometer feature which can keep step count while host processor sleeps or is offline.

I don’t agree with the holier then thou gatekeeping that Troy is attempting to justify here

I do agree that Responsible Disclosure™ is bullshit, “beg bounties” are a symptom. Troy’s approach is a symptom. Saying “look at me, I never ask for money” is so immature and privileged and lacks empathy when he goes through the exact same thing but then blames it on other people. He genuinely believes that his database of hacker goodies and monetization paths is better in some moral sense and says “no, everyone else is wrong” after people on twitter are like “dude, wtf”.

It would be wrong even if he had zero monetization paths too.

It could also just be a distraction from domestic apps that do the exact same thing. Good to have a fall guy and it creates a pretense that these apps cross a line which is ignored by domestic actions anyway.

Nobody knows anything for certain about literally any consumer hardware in existence, because silicon is not end user introspectable. If you want to go there you have to look at Precursor (which uses an FPGA and can make the claim that a backdoor is infeasible in that architecture).

But what we can say is that we know that Intel has hyper-privileged backdoor modes and coprocessors, while every single thing I've seen so far about the M1 indicates it was carefully designed to isolate all coprocessors from the main CPU. Everything is either behind an IOMMU or can't do DMA at all or has some other form of address filter. And knowing what I know about Apple's security posture, it's entirely logical that they designed it this way.
It could easily be/have been a success story for contact tracing.
So where's the line drawn between instruction decoding, and microcoding? It sounds like microcoding is when a single instruction in the program resolves to a _sequence_ of operations that the processor executes?
With cloud network-based storage like EBS or pd-ssd, I doubt you will notice any IOPS-related perf penalty when running a RDBMS on top of ZFS. Assuming a mixed read/write workload, you will likely hit the disk write throughput limit first, as ZFS just writes ... a lot more, due to how blocks are stored internally: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/6584#issuecomment-3848...

On an innodb database, I get about 3x compress ratio with ZSTD compression, and ZFS still has to write about 2x more than EXT4.

> You're never going to make abstract metadata like volume of messages and relationships completely anonymous

Even here Signal works very hard. Signal doesn't know group memberships, all the group metadata is encrypted and acted on based on cryptography, so somebody who is apparently authorised to administrate a group kicked somebody out of it, and then they sent a message to the group. Who was that admin? What's the group's name? Who is in it? Who did they kick out? What was the message? All deliberately unknown to Signal.

Also all messages to people who agree to accept your messages in advance (so, most people's friends, and those whistleblower hotline type setups at newspapers) are anonymous to Signal. You've got proof you're authorised to send this message, so they don't need to care who you are and they don't ask your client who it is. They need to know who the message is for to deliver it, but that's all.

Yes, large fission projects probably aren’t the way to go these days—I’d rather see investment in Small Nuclear Reactor technology. More importantly though, considering the alternative (failing to mitigate climate change) the risk-adjusted cost of nuclear is minuscule. Moreover, I don’t understand how it is “riskier” than fusion, which still hasn’t been deployed anywhere in any form?
Thinking about it more, there's something similar to leaving the Matrix I think about leaving a subculture you were deeply involved in. It becomes hard(er) to willingly submerge yourself in another one once you spend some time at the "surface" level. You have to keep working to sustain your suspension of disbelief or risk snapping out into a crushing awareness of the subculture's arbitrariness and insignificance. But the "main" culture (if it's even not just another subculture, anyway) is so goddamn ugly and bland

This is a significant concern. We're seeing more and more non-free hardware in the market. Hardware designed to stop us from having access to data and from running our own software. Our computing freedom must be sacrificed in order to have any hope of enforcing these antiquated laws.
I believe the rate has been dropping steadily, though. I sure as hell didn't do it to my son. Not my right to make that decision for him.

It definitely is a Shibboleth: Everybody recommending it to me so far has done so either due to usability (which I get) or "because it's encrypted and more secure than WhatsApp".

The attacker doesn't need to detect whether the TwitterBot is making a request. They can redirect every request to the spoofed site after posting the link, until the preview is generated.
This is amusing as fuck. This happened to me once after I left what looked like a sinking ship. At the new job I made 20% more for roughly the same position. On the interview at the old place, I learned the req was from new management “building a team”. Apparently the old management had left for greener pastures too. The new management was empowered from “new investment” to “rebuild core business”. It was hilarious because I knew enough to turn every question around and make them squirm. They had bought me lunch at the conclusion of the interview so I politely thanked them for their time and told them the whole story as we had dessert, then excused myself at the last bite so I could go back to work.
White men are also overrepresented throughout every circle of power and influence in America (and their corrupting ethnic nepotism is well-established), and Jewish people don't use whatever power they have any more than any other ethnic, social, or religious group. Just a reminder, antisemitism is the belief that "the Jews" secretly pull the levers of power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism#Definition
I'm not the brightest bulb in American politics, but the trope of right wing evangelicals single-handedly being responsible for America-Israel bizarre parasitic relationship is tired and false IMO. If it were true, progressives and their allies would drop into this new fertile frontier of the culture war, and if that was true, we would see a lot more struggle and conflict than the meek 'meh' and shoulder shrug that the congress does every time an Israel-related issue is being discussed.

Look at abortion for example, do right wing evangelicals value this issue less than their support for a 10-thousand+-kilometer-away country? did they manage to make it controversial and costly to not adopt their position on it?

Right wing evangelicals do performatively praise Israel more often, but actual lobbying is strongly bipartisan and cuts across the conservative-progressive divide.

That gives the goose bumps. That's something else than debugging that web app :-)
Honestly, it was an adventure. Started with a 300 baud modem and no idea what to do because I didn’t know a single person who knew what to do (this was the mid 1980s). I wish I could remember the first BBS I joined, because that would clearly be the first layer of the onion.

Each BBS felt like a club that you needed to apply to. Each had its own mission, which was basically whatever the sysop’s motivation was. Warez, online adventure game, discussion, hell, even dating.

There wasn’t real time chat, because most BBSs were single line (one user at a time).

What really pushed the envelope back then, IMO, was the fun of the dark side — warez (cracking/distribution), phreaking (“free” phone calls), and of course, running your own BBS (or being a co-sysop).
I wonder why this guy was fired. Really can't tell.

The Arguments That Persuaded 5th Circuit to Block OSHA Vaccine Mandate
I keep thinking this might keep stoking the fire of some of the antisemitism in America.

I think it was Norway planned to outlaw all mutilations of minors and ended up with all middle eastern religions crying foul in unison which was scary. (All they seemed to disagree on was which child to harm) needles to say the law that was eventually passed was so watered down as to be (again imo) ineffective...

The view that this practice is the norm and that it's somehow so untouchable is imo scary.
That's the thing, though: Telegram cannot be intercepted by state actors. They are jurisdiction hopping to evade that responsibility.

It's different - I used to live next to major road, and yeah it was louder in intensity, for sure, but at least it would die down quite a lot during the night, and you'd only ocassionally get a car/motorbike with a loud exhaust passing by. This really bothers me because it's just constant and completely unchanging, I keep lying in bed and hearing the whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.....with cars I'm just like ok, there was a loud motorbike but it's gone now. With a wind turbine I know it won't change, and either I have to get used to it or....well, move out I guess, and that sucks.
Had a similar experience (albeit with much minor consequences): an Oracle Portal installation which worked fine in Dev/Test but with degrading performance on the actual Prod server (which was also immensely more powerful than what we used to develop).

Oracle was called in, "en masse". Keep also in mind that Oracle Portal was basically running on top of lots of dedicated tables and stored procedures and you could not access the data directly, you interacted to the contents only through vistas, aliases etc.

It was indeed due to a smallish version bump.
But we had a pretty good Team Leader who had made Oracle declare that the two different version were absolutely compatible and allowing us to write code on the older version.

He made them state this in written form, before starting the development so it was later impossible to blame the developers for the problem.
I'll just cut this functional part off a baby because I don't like the look of it. Now if we were talking about earlobes, suddenly we would be barbarians, but part of the penis is just fine.

Stop shaming kids for screen time and video games.

Related: video games have positive mental health benefits.[2]

As a parent, nothing seems to create more issues than screen time. Ive seen other parents get fairly harsh with extreme limits with their kids screen time consumption. It’s like abstinence education for sex: it just doesn’t work and ultimately backfires. Indeed research has shown kids have to get pretty extreme in their screentime usage for it to be harmful [1]

Better to let kids have screen time and teach them safe ways to use it and work with them to moderate their usage. It just so happens this is what treatment for “video game addiction” does - teaches moderation of the activity not abstinence.

No, because defaults matter. Users have a habit of never changing them.
> But that’s not the case from the games I’ve played unless you’re getting into hypotheticals.

No need for hypotheticals, Deep Rock Galactic [0] doesn't support play between the MS store and steam. Minecraft [1] has two versions that say they support cross play, except you can't play between the two (and depending on how you purchase the version you're playing, this is not clear, e.g. [2]). Marvel vs capcom Infinite doesn't supoort play between the MS Store and Steam [3]. You mentioned Age of Empires and F1 2020, but googling for those two seems to suggest that both of those games suffer from the same issue; [4] [5]

> As for the issues with virtualization, it’s an understandable issue with concerns around cheating in pc multiplayer games.

I understand the issues, virtualisation was an example of an issue I faced. (and it's actually not even a virtualisation issue, it's a virtual network adapter issue!) In the last few years I've had issues with Graphics drivers that are apparently too old, drivers that are too _new_, crashes when changing audio devices, windows update blocking game installs, anticheat failing to install/update, problems with performance on a very high end PC due to third party software (chrome). They're the issues I've had, and in my group of 8 or so friends that I play with regularly, the above are common, and everyone has their "own" set of issues.

I have similar experience.

A year ago I decided to enroll in a local university for CS. The reason was that I figured that I was interested in CS, but not disciplined enough to go through the whole program.

After a year I have to say I was gravely disappointed, for the following reasons:

1. Some bad professors really ruined the experience:

There are two who give lectures so badly that students made a few petitions to remove them in the recent years, to no avail. I took two courses with them and made through with good marks, then I found out that both Operating Systems and Database Internals are going to be taught by the same two professors so I dropped the program.

2. I accept my incompetence to go through the whole program:

I realized it would be a lot cheaper just to go with Open Courses from high ranking CS programs (MIT/Berkeley/Melon) and good textbooks and projects instead of attending some schools. If I can't go through I'll seek help from outside (e.g. attending a study group) or just drop what I'm not really interested in.
Medallion distributes their earnings and stays a fixed size rather than compounding, so it's a category error to compare their returns to most hedge funds. (At 66% return for 30 years, they'd own everything in the world otherwise). They're more like an internal prop-trading firm, which makes their returns good but not insane.

My circumcision was just the first violation of my body the Evangelical church put me through as a child -- finally culminating in my chemical balding at Billings West High School in 1998-99 after coming forward about my childhood sexual abuse in the Lutheran Church.
