Experts say Russia can use satellite signals to locate Starlink users in Ukraine
Most are under 18 and keep relying on their parents who became desperate because they don't understand it

So these look more like young people that need help
Of course, but having it is better than not having it - not just for their competitors, but their users. We could find any fishy things they might be doing in there, make the public aware and pressure them to stop. With a better understanding of the driver internals, we (well, not me, but smart people) could create patches to fix common issues, enable features that were locked away...
Maybe. I am sure you can do more damage, if you optimize for that, than an accident would do.

However: for a nuclear power like Russia, blowing up nuclear reactors only makes sense if they can make it look like an accident.

Otherwise: just use your nukes.
> It's sad to hear that graphics drivers are still not a solved problem on Linux.

Indeed and still nothing has changed. Last time I checked, installing a Nvidia driver crashed the whole desktop and every-time you boot you Linux distro, it gives you a black screen with X11 or Wayland pop ups.

A magnificent waste of time that was fixing things in order to do basic work. I ended up using Windows with WSL2 and waiting for the new Macbook Air. I never saw the point of dealing with anything Nvidia on Linux these days.
With a very broad brush: The old experienced journalists (and editors, and sub-editors, and proofreaders, and fact-checkers) have been fired, and what remains are very young, cheap, inexperienced Twitter addicts, battling for your deteriorating attention against a constantly growing number of low-effort low-signal tabloid-style alternatives.
Maybe it was in the Free Solo movie or other interviews, but I thought he said that his route during Free Solo was a difficulty level of about 7/10 for him. So he was comfortable enough that it was not the hardest climb for him; after a ton of practice on that route, with ropes, of course.

So to be statistical about it, the difficulty level for him was at the edge of 1 standard deviation of the mean of his capability. Maybe that's enough margin that he could detect when he's really in trouble.
You would allow hardware DRM in your box just to allow Nvidia to "revoke" ownership of your card when you use it "incorrectly".

Yeah I'll pass.
anyone knows why reddit doesnt like them using the reddit api?

As abhorrent as it sounds, if the Russian government authorizes use of nuclear weapons, it might only be exclusively to get Ukraine to surrender and end the war on Russian terms. I don't think their designs will be to go nuclear on rest of Europe.
I think Ukrainian IT need more help. People lost not only job, they lost homes, life, relatives and any future.
Kadyrov, a puppet? Russia was badly losing a war, and only managed to achieve peace by siding with one of the feuding clans and paying exorbitant tribute to it.

Kadyrov is totally uncontrollable, makes outrageous criminal statements, yet the Kremlin can't do anything to him because he has a very big private army. Chechen operatives act all over the country and are basically untouchable, kidnapping people even from the police custody without repercussions.

> We decided to help mining and gaming community," Lapsus$ members wrote

Oh please. You have crypto and a vested interest in making GPU’s viable again.

Sorry but I have zero sympathy-crypto miners exacerbated the silicon shortage and leveraged their increased capital to make consumer cards so inordinately difficult to get. So no, suffer.
That’s where the readers are.

A model I like is that founders need to earn their equity, i.e. everyone gets restricted shares.

So you determine what work needs to be done and the value of doing it.
If you do that, you get your shares. If people don't deliver, they lose their shares, and you can compensate new people with those shares or other founders can get compensated for doing that work too.

Monetary funding is separate from that. Putting in cash gets an instant percentage of the company. That's usually e.g. 20% of the company for putting up the cash, even though based on risk it should be more.
Is t there a ton of IP and patents which can't be made open source?

There should not be much of an issue for Nvidia to open source it otherwise.

Open source doesn't mean free anyway
The article is confusing. It has conflicting information (the hacker group seems to have released conflicting statements).

First, it's about LHR only.

> We want nvidia to push an update for all 30 series firmware that remove every lhr limitations otherwise we will leak hw folder. If they remove the lhr we will forget about hw folder (it's a big folder). We both know lhr impact mining and gaming

Later, it becomes about entirely open sourcing the drivers:

Cook’s HOPL3 paper on the early history and motivations of AppleScript is a great read, full of insight and ambition, and it is a damn shame that early 90s Apple management pissed off Cook and Harris into walking out the door, effectively taking with them all of the institutional knowledge and experience that—after a few more rounds—could’ve made Mac Automation into a true game changer.

I will also put this here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MaHJ_mzrTU

As presentations go, it not the best sales pitch; and it lacks the depth of the paper (which was written much later), but it’s just a joy to see two young UX innovators genuinely psyched and evangelizing their work.

Sadly Warren Harris passed, still young, a few years back; and William Cook late last year. Which probably leaves me as the last person who truly understands that work, and what it tried to achieve. (And still could, in the right hands, although I doubt those hands existin in Apple any more.)
I discovered another 4-player trick taking game through it, Doppelkopf - https://www.pagat.com/schafkopf/doko.html .

It uses a double pack of cards, so every card is in there twice. You play with your partner against the other two players, but at the start of each deal you don't know who your partner is (the two players with a queen of clubs are together). There are more trumps than non-trumps. And there is a long list of fun optional house rules to choose from.

Of course, a cleanroom procedure is a given in this case. History has shown that it is entirely possible though - see ReactOS for one very public example.

But also, not everyone cares. See game modders who routinely use source code leaks to make game patches. I'm not talking about big companies that want nvidia would want to sue, but individuals and small groups, who are not a big enough target and would likely remain anonymous anyways.
That's not correct.

I have had tinnitus in both ears since September 2000.

There was no treatment then and there is no widely available treatment now. AFAIK the cause of it is poorly understood and there can hardly be an answer is we don't know what questions to ask.

Do I wish this study leads to one? Absolutely. I would pay an equivalent of a used car to get rid of my tinnitus. Probably not more than that since my case is thankfully rather mild.

I think getting used to it is unfortunately the only way out. For the first few years, I've had occasional panic attacks. Nowadays, I am aware of it in the morning when I wake up, and later only when I stop to check if it's still there (it is).

Circling back to treatments, I do wish that one eventually comes out. My tinnitus has not become worse over the years but I suspect it might once I exit the middle age.

They modified the demand.

On Tuesday, Lapsus$ modified its demand. Now, the group also wants Nvidia to commit to making its GPU drivers completely open source. If Nvidia does not comply, Lapsus$ says, the company can expect to see a new leak that would include the complete silicon, graphics, and computer chipset files for all its recent GPUs:

So, NVIDIA, the choice is yours! Either:

–Officially make current and all future drivers for all cards open source, while keeping the Verilog and chipset trade secrets... well, secret

OR

–Not make the drivers open source, making us release the entire silicon chip files so that everyone not only knows your driver's secrets, but also your most closely-guarded trade secrets for graphics and computer chipsets too!

YOU HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY, YOU DECIDE!

Even in SF/Bay Area, 400 isn’t as common as level.fyi would have you believe. You can’t (easily) trade equity appreciation or pre-liquid options for cash.

Yes, in SF there are companies that give a lot of liquid RSUs, but most engineers don’t work at those companies, even if a lot of engineers do.

Also, if you’ve been swinging and missing in a silo for 20 years without full time employment, you’re most likely not going to easily find a job that pays you 400+ without working full time at large companies first.
If the "metaverse" ever gets anywhere beyond Make Money Fast and reaches AAA title quality, running the client in "the cloud" may be useful. Mostly because the clients can have more bandwidth to the asset servers. You need more bandwidth to render locally than to render remotely.

The downside is that VR won't work with that much network latency.
What's more interesting is that DDG had disputes with Google over the ownership of the duck.com domain. Google was squatting on the domain and redirected it to Google (dirty tactic). But I guess it could just as easily have gone to the Oregon Ducks or some duck based website. (interestingly "ducks.com" doesn't go anywhere for me)
I find DocBook (and XML in general) too cumbersome. I've been using Asciidoc in conjunction with Pandoc to create Word documents, Asciidoctor-PDF to generate PDF documents, and Antora to generate websites. This combination works well for me, anyway.
Personally I'd go with a third-party service that will manage the PKI side of things, possibly two. That would relieve you of a big burden, leaving you to only invoke their APIs as needed. Most big CAs have specific IoT products.

On the do-it-yourself side, take a look at Google's Certificate Authority Service https://cloud.google.com/certificate-authority-service and the AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority https://aws.amazon.com/certificate-manager/private-certifica...

Another choice is EJBCA, and here's their documentation for the IoT use case: https://doc.primekey.com/ejbca/solution-areas/iot-and-device... EJBCA is open source, but at least some of the IoT features (specifically those that deal with device enrolment) are enterprise-only.
I'm not sure I understand you. Of those two Ukraine is surely more likely to use a dirty bomb; purely because they don't have access to a traditional nuclear arsenal.

If Russia wants to use Nuclear weapons then they only need to enter the codes. That would probably be the final straw for western powers putting boots on the ground though.
I wonder if this will also push some people closer to Russia and Putin -- if they're not welcome in Europe, then, what's left for them?
Yep. And the States are suzerains of their Counties (thus being vavasours of the Federal governement !).
Everyone seems to be assuming that Putin intends to annex Ukraine in the short term. But as events have unfolded, this will likely be impossible without incurring huge costs on Russia. However that doesn't mean that Putin can't settle for lesser concessions by Ukraine, like a complete demilitarization and a commitment not to join EU/NATO, combined with the loss of the two small republics. That would still be a huge win for Putin without the catastrophic cost of an occupation. Ukraine "wins" by not being reduced to rubble and have half of its population displaced in the "protracted war" that every armchair geopolitician is advocating for, undoubtedly facilitated by the fact that their armchairs are not located in Ukraine. It seems that every other generation needs to learn again how hard war sucks. This is not Game of Thrones.

What makes falsehoses most effective is that non-falsehoses have credibility problems and interpretive biases in enough eyes that random crap posted all over the internet seems just as plausible. And a lot of readers as well as editors and journalists get squirmy about facts that challenge their world views, regardless of that view. (The squirms come out in different ways, but they do come out.)

Even just random sites that say “the wsj said…” or “the daily standard said…” or “CNN said” would get traction even if the outlet said no such thing. Our own politicians lie about the contents of bills. Can’t trust the person you voted for, or rely on them to lie against your opposition? Now who do you believe that you haven’t even met?

And humans (well, US citizens, anyway) seem wired to believe most of their sensory inputs, so unless they’ve intentionally trained to be skeptical and-or not internalize a fact and limit interpretation to “someone said X is true”, misinformation will have an effect.

Just adding noise helps drown signal.

I'm reading through the replies and find them strangely comforting. Seems like not worth the effort to prepare at all, but rather face and get comfortable with fears one might (or probably does) have about death.

If a nuclear war doesn't happen after all (which is the most likely outcome anyway even now), then one's life likely will take a dramatic turn, since one has faced and embraced the biggest fear there is.
Ha. Okay, I'll do my thing, you do yours. :) ;p xx ;p
> Philosophically, many would argue that to order international nuclear detonation nowadays is by definition, the action of an insane person.

Not at all. A first strike maybe, but a retaliatory strike can be perfectly sane, even if exceedingly cruel.

Everybody agrees that the retaliation doesn't magically undo the damage of the first strike.

The thing is that you need to pre-commit to a retaliatory strike, if you want deterrence.

If you are predictably not going to retaliate, and you are never going for a first strike; then you might as well not have any nukes at all.

Never having any nukes at all is also a sane position.
> Don't trust chimp medicine! It's a fraud!

The Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is built on the platform ChAdOx1. So named because it's a Chimpanzee Adenovirus tweaked by Oxford and thus was their first attempt (at least, the first that was worth testing in humans).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChAdOx1

Although the RNA vaccines are the most famous demo of a new vaccine trick since the pandemic began, the next tier of COVID-19 vaccines were a different speed-up platform, find a virus that can successfully infect humans but doesn't do anything interesting (Adenoviruses are not a big deal) then bulk re-program it to make the protein you want to immunise against instead of copies of itself, tada - custom vaccine. It is unclear how re-usable this idea is exactly, but a pandemic was the perfect time to try it as scale.

>The United States Supreme Court has consistently affirmed the constitutional right to freedom of speech and the rights of peaceful assembly and association, including by avowed Nazis, whose hatred and xenophobia are vile and widely scorned by the American people. We nevertheless firmly defend the constitutional rights of those who exercise their fundamental freedoms to combat intolerance and express strong opposition to the odious Nazi creed and others that espouse similar hatreds.

>We have again attempted this year to improve this resolution by engaging in negotiations on the draft text. Despite consistently expressing our concerns with the Russian delegation and proposing revisions to improve the text and protect against unacceptable restrictions on freedom of expression, most of these recommendations were ignored. We discourage States from invoking Article 4 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and Article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in order to either silence unwelcome opinions or to excuse their failure to combat intolerance.
For these reasons, the United States has voted against each new version of this resolution since 2005 and is, again, compelled to vote “No” on this resolution, and calls on other States to do the same.

Ukraine doesn't really have the firepower to hit back. All territories it loses are really hard to recover. Russia is also sprinting to take the Dniepr river which would make any counter-attack nearly impossible.

They are also going for encirclement of areas they can't capture east of the river, breaking out of a modern siege is also really hard.

Russian strategy would be to encircle the cities and Ukrainian forces, demand surrender or shell otherwise.

It sounds like they are looking for their first employee, not a cofounder, but they don't want to pay you a salary.

It also sounds like they haven't done any validation on the idea. An idea that sounds nice is worthless if there's no market for it.

From the short summary it sounds like two dudes are trying to find someone to build their idea because it will make them rich, there will be lots of conflicts with the founders, no sales, and a protracted fight at the end over who gets to keep the worthless IP, and you'll pay more in lawyer fees than the company ever made in revenue.
I think lotteries are a useful tool to increase meritocracy, did this blogger ever expand elsewhere on why they think they are part of a 'war' on it?

I couldn't really discern any actual argument in this. From the blog title onwards it felt like it was aimed at an audience that already agreed and so didn't need to actually present any arguments. But I'd be interested if they actually have any as lotteries have a lot of useful applications but some people are wary of them.

Everything in the Mueller report was true. No republican has denied that, or come to any other conclusion in their committee reports. Trump was cleared in the impeachment not because of the contents of the report, but whether what happened technically constituted collusion, or whether republicans felt that convicting him was necessary for what he and his associates did in fact do.

This is what the last report from the republican majority senate intelligence committee wrote [0]:

> It is our conclusion, based on the facts detailed in the Committee's Report, that the Russian intelligence services' assault on the integrity of the 2016 U.S. electoral process[,] and Trump and his associates' participation in and enabling of this Russian activity, represents one of the single most grave counterintelligence threats to American national security in the modern era.
