Sorry "remapping" was a poor choice of words on my part.

What I meant was the code segment register gets reloaded to some offset in that GDT that has those protection bits set to 0. According to your flat address space map above that would be at offsets 0008 and 0010. That makes a lot of sense, thanks.
I don't understand your comment; is a word missing?

Nowadays the old STL has been subsumed with a standard library (for quite a long time) and it has a lot of pretty safe functionality. That functionality tends to be only optimized for the common cases -- say a couple of sigma out -- so you can roll your own alongside it.

And a lot of the pointer manipulation inherited from C is unnecessary given things like range based for.

So what were you referring to?
A lot of miners have access to free electricity, often through corrupt officials on some unsavory countries... or even US Army folk who are abusing their home's utility bills (Uncle Sam pays for that electricity).

Under these conditions, the utility company has to pay for say $100 in electricity to make $80 of cryptocoin. But since the miner has "free electricity" and doesn't see these costs, they only see the $80 of cryptocoin that they sold off.

> 150k streams p/month is absolutely nothing compared to the artists that the major labels are interested in.

I said 150k unique listeners, not streams. Also, you're entirely wrong about this. The 100k-250k range is a very distinct tier of band, and those bands are ubiquitously on record labels. So, your insistence that labels aren't even interested in them is the exact opposite of reality.

> Record labels that the likes of “Sub-Radio” are suited to have always be and will continue to act as taste makers and curators, and not large money making organisations (and for the better). Even the large indies like Sub Pop, Stones Throw, and K7 operate in completely different seperate financial and reach realms than Universal, Warner and the like.

They operate at different scales because of the overall size of the rosters and the major label's ability to literally throw away cash at every turn just to maintain superiority. That doesn't mean major labels don't manage projects that are operating at smaller scales, because they absolutely do. They're called "subsidiaries" and they fit directly in the category that you're pretending doesn't exist.

> Major labels aren’t going anywhere.

Nobody said they were, so your entire argument was made with a false premise. The point was that they aren't necessary anymore.

> and CMYK ACEP

ACeP is not CMYK.

> It seems like that's completely wrong

From what.

> I think it will be closer to 4 colors

Why, on which basis?

Have you seen the photo of an ACeP rendering? Where do the "extra" colours come from, full-pixel-level dithering?

> B/W E-Ink and CMYK ACEP are not remotely similar

Source? What does it mean, «remotely»?

> confidently

What level of confidence does 'seem' suggest? It's an educated guess.

Shaky? Well provide some argument then.

> There's no subpixel arrangement the way Bayer RGB or other LCD arrangements work

Why should that even be any one's assumption?

ACeP has subpixel complexity: every pixel contains many particles of all the four pigments. That is of course perfectly apt, further implementation constraints aside, to represent the full logical range of combinations within a single pixel.

Edit: also:

If the capacity of ACeP is restricted to the basic («4 colors»), what would be the difference between "ACeP E Ink Gallery" and "ACeP E Ink Gallery Palette", the latter being «the same full-color ePaper film [but] driven by simpler electronics to support cost sensitive applications that do not require the full-color performance of ACeP [thus] supports the seven most frequently used colors in advertising and signage, namely: Black, White, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and Orange»?

>There’s a few big ones, for example, filecoin right now has created a commodity market for storage that is currently 10,000 cheaper than S3 in some instances. (See file.app for stats)

First of all, 63 PB is nothing in terms of cloud storage, so I wouldn't exactly call it a commodity market. Also, I doubt that Amazon is making 99.9% profit margins, so it's more likely that miners are just subsidizing the cost of storage to speculate.
I'm curious if this comment is a usual fare of shallow dismissal or if you are aware of current applications of crypto in the wild and consider them to be useless nonetheless.

One example that comes to mind is that Docusign offers a product that uses Ethereum for storing evidence of contracts in a decentralized medium. That seems like a fairly legitimate application for the technology. Another example (albeit possibly more dubious) is BitTorrent tokens as a "currency" for "buying" download speed by incentivizing people to keep nodes running within its P2P network.

Do you consider these types of applications to be negative sums? If so, why? Not trying to be antagonistic here, I'm actually curious.

> If they really had nothing to do with war, why would they affect our thinking about it?

Shared cultural interests.

Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Jesus / Christianity, maybe even Buggs Bunny and Mickey Mouse even, will affect our culture and shape our views of war. Also Chess, Football, NASCAR, etc. etc.

Meanwhile in China, maybe Go, Xiangqi, Ping Pong, Soccer, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Buddah, Journey to the West (aka: the Monkey King), and other such cultural icons will affect Chinese thinking of war... whether or not its a legitimate analogue or not.

------

Thus, this article's discussion and musing. Next generation generals will be affected by PUBG, League of Legends, Starcraft, and Call of Duty players. These shared cultural experiences, for better or worse, will affect the strategic thinking of the next wars.
I think the Gemini FAQ[1] has a good answer to this that I imagine is pretty in line with the Kyuweb proposal author's motivations.

Using an alternative protocol is completely optional for you as a user so I don't think calling it a forced doctrine is accurate. These kinds of protocols are great for people who want to have an experience of browsing a web of documents knowing that they won't be giving up privacy or be bombarded with interactive attention grabbing graphical elements, advertisements, videos etc. If that experience is not something you value, you can obviously choose not to use it.

Hi all, the POC does not use rolljam attack+ replay. It is solely based on the replay attack. Unfortunately, these key fobs do not implement rolling codes, I had tested the same on the 2022 civic and it does seem to have rolling codes, but the 2018 does not. I highly recommend that you test out the same vulnerability using GNURadio, the reason why I cannot explain every step is due to the fear that this could be used with malicious intent. Please note that you CANNOT drive away with the vehicle since that relies on the PKE system which is separate. As someone pointed out, it could be possible to drive the car using other methods, but this exploit solely focuses on the RKE. I would be more than happy to explain and clarify any doubts, you may email me at arajesh@umassd.edu :)

The problem is that when the thing is initially announced, it's not useful to anyone yet, because it's not productionized and released to the general public.

But then once it IS released to the general public, it's probably been at least several months, maybe even multiple years since the announcement, so people are like, "yawn, this is old news."

bitcoin is not about creating artificial rarity, it's a different kind of system that creates real rarity, and can defend itself. Artificial rarity is when copiable or physical items are being considerer rare by fiat of a smart contract that cannot enforce itself, is not fundamentally tied to the item, and ultimately depends on the kindness of strangers to keep functioning.

Big Trees State Park in Arnold, California is a bit of an unknown gem. You've probably seen pictures of it but not many people go and actually visit. It's full of old growth giant sequoias. Unlike the coastal redwoods which are known for being tall these ones are known for being massive. In other words they are WIDE! And also still quite tall. The open terrain of the park really helps you feel their gargantuan-ness too.

You’ll find this is true of all NeRFs if you spend time playing around with them. If a NeRF is trying to render part of an object that wasn’t observered in the input images, it’s going to look strange, since it’s ultimately just guessing at the appearance. The NVidia example in the link has the benefit of focusing on a single entity that’s centered in all of the input photographs - the effect is much more pronounced in large scale scenes with tons of objects, like the Waymo one. You can still see some of this distortion in the NVidia one - pay close attention to the backside of the woman’s left shoulder. You’ll see a faint haze or blur near her shoulder - the input images didn’t contain a clear shot of it from multiple angles, so the model has to guess when rendering it.

Let's not forget that NATO had a "flexible response" policy 40 years ago. This is of course public, that's how deterrence works. Because Russia had a conventional force advantage over NATO at that time, flexible response stated the response would be intentionally escalate to use nuclear weapons as a defense, and also why there was a no first strike policy. By expressly taking first strike off the table, it was in effect blaming Russia should nukes be used in a conflict by tying the use of nuclear weapons to Russia invading Europe with conventional forces.

But the roles are now reversed. NATO's conventional force vastly exceeds that of Russia. And in effect Russia's policy is to escalate to using nuclear weapons if they get cornered by conventional warfare.

This hopefully explains some of the reluctance to confront Russia directly, including no fly zones.

While I think Russia (or at least Putin) deserves WW3 for what they've done, and Ukraine is already experiencing it, the problem is does the rest of the world deserve WW3? ~50% of the world being unwilling to hold Russia accountable for starting a war of aggression and asking them to stop I think is really problematic. I think it is an invitation to another world war to be neutral on such a central tenant of the U.N. Charter as Article 2(4) is, and the conclusion of Nuremberg that wars of aggression to expand borders and/or subjugate people is the supreme international crime. If it really is that big of a crime, then no country should be abstaining let alone agreeing unless they truly stand separate and outside the Charter.

If that much of the world is even questioning the relevancy of the Charter so much that they will weaken it in this fashion, as China and India have - in my opinion humanity is fucked. Then we are doomed to have a WW3 at some point. The U.N. is very dysfunctional, as it is a reflection of the world. But it's the best hope we have to avoiding another world war. If we can't, and it surely would involved nuclear weapons, we are looking at death so much worse than the worst hell we've created so far... it boggles the mind. But maybe that's our fate, and we actually aren't that civil or intelligent or worthy of being excluded from the kind of suffering that would ensue. shrug

You sound very knowledgable about UEFI - it is intimidating since the spec is so big. It also...concerns me that so much code is running prior to my own, even if it is for a good purpose.

Should we not aim to put as little as possible into firmware?
