I'd say nothing but nickname and the list of packages uploaded (which should be public in the first place) should've been stored anyway.

It immediately reminded me, that PyPI content is really trash as it is because of all the squatting and pointless unfinished toy-projects, and whatever they are logging clearly doesn't help, but I think that big problem for PyPI is one seemingly minor detail: lack of namespaces (as in packagist.org of pkg.go.dev). It is not a solution for all sorts of malicious behaviour, of course, but it really makes things much easier. It doesn't solve typosquatting and such, but, honestly, neither does the current system, obviously. And at least it allows to keep the actual package names semantic. And which one of countless "*/time" libraries you wanna get you just kinda have to decide separately, using the number of starts on the github as a reference and carefully copy-pastying the id to your requirements.txt

The same issue I have with Cargo. I mean, really, isn't it obvious that making users compete for better project names just makes everything shit?
I used to watch Vice News Tonight religiously and (at the time, at least) the quality on journalism was miles above CNN, Fox News, etc.

The main thing I remember about it (which may still be true today) is it was the only daily TV source of relatively unbiased reporting that includes world issues and isn't 100% focused on reporting within the USA.
Mental illness can do things to a person that totalitarian police states can only dream of.
The ground explosions were caused by Kalibr cruise missiles targeting the airport terminal nearby to where it appears (from satellite imagery) that the Patriots were stationed. It's perfectly possible that A) all Kinzhal's were indeed intercepted and B) the Patriot battery was indirectly damaged by a nearby explosion but was not even necessarily the target of the missile in question.

It can be very difficult for radars to track objects coming in from a high angle of attack and low angle of attack simultaneously, so IMO the failure to intercept makes more sense from that perspective as well.

For botnets, yes.

For L7 request floods - they spin up a few dozen machines and use open & private proxies to funnel http requests thru. Sometimes those proxies are misconfigured squid, sometimes it's private proxy services, sometimes it's compromised machines converted into proxies (which may be open or require auth / has been sold).

For L3/L4 amplification/reflection they're buying machines where they can spoof and using UDP amplification lists (other people's machines) to reflect off of (and obviously not getting permission to, etc.).

I had no idea, I gave up on consoles and became a PC gamer, I did buy a Switch because I wanted something handheld, but I'll probably get something like the Steamdeck in the future (though I hope it would be the Steamdeck v2).

I found a video that outlines how and why this is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSTK5Xk9JB0

tl;dr Microsoft provided incentives for people not to even bother trying to jailbreak the console, especially allowing people to buy developer mode for $20, which allows running homebrew applications including console emulators (which had I known sooner, I would have bought an Xbox One ages back so I can emulate old games I have around the house, but dont want to wire up the various consoles I've got, its nicer to just have the one console).

Legacy code has still important real-life functions to drive. That is clear.

That Intel has to thread carefully to dump in-hardware 16 bit compatibility mode in 2023 is just sad.

I can also see why who does not have to deal with so much baggage on their shoulders is capable of being much more nimble and drive innovation.

Finally I can now better understand why Apple dumps an ISA every decade or so.
I confess I'm surprised the builtin wasn't one of the demoed options. Curious what the reason is.
L4 is popular among similar corporate trojan malware deployed in secret against customers. Most of its use is by qualcom. Apparently apple are doing something similar.

This large scale deployment is apparently billed by some as the payoff for the promise of microkernels w.r.t. "security" so I guess they just don't mean yours?

The orignal movie "Tommy" in 1975 was a video storytelling version of the groundbreaking "rock opera" that had been written & performed by The Who, earlier than their appearance at Woodstock in 1969.

Roger Daltrey performed most of the vocals in the movie along with playing the lead character, but Tina Turner was brought in as the Acid Queen and nailed it. A sight to behold on the big screen and I had seen her concert during the same time frame in 1974 which was also beyond compare.

It's a preposterous scenario. China would blow the thing out of the sky long before it could land. And even if it did, they'd simply use armor and helicopters to decimate the forces.

The alternative is that MAD ceases to exist, with one country having a stockpile of interceptors. That makes the other country fools anyway.

Since they’re fools (read: potentially getting nuked) either way it could appear rational to invoke MAD with a preemptive strike.
Maybe in a lab setting, but implemented on the streets real life kicks in. Here’s an example in SF where “provide information and services to get help” is laughable: https://youtu.be/7g5Mb-ktGxQ?t=180
This study makes the assumption that inmersion equals enjoyment.

The questionnaires were only used with the study that tested intact, scrambled story and non-monetary incentive. They were not used for the study that tested spoilers (at least I can't find it). Instead they assumed that inmersion equals enjoyment because of the results of an earlier study by them.

All studies were performed using a highly suspenseful short film with a high capacity to engage and a simple spoiler: Telling them if the characters were or not hurt in the movie.
This could well be one of the genres more prone to engage you even if you know the outcome. Even more so with a non specific spoiler like that.

I can't find individual data of the study to search for outliers. In my experience some people don't care or even seek spoilers while others avoid them like the plague.

You're making the single most common misunderstanding of the United State's ICBM defense capability, because you assume the goal is to "defend every city".

The real goal is quite different. The math starts to look very different when the defender can choose where to defend.

Assume a first strike against the US. The US has ~400 siloed missiles and a handful of airbases that can launch bombers. A reasonable goal for a first strike is to destroy those, preventing or substantially limiting a counterattack. Assuming some failure rate, using 2 warheads per silo gives you some redundancy, so 800 warheads needed for this phase of the attack.

What good is 40 intercepters against 800 incoming warheads? The US can choose which of those 800 to target. 40 intercepters can protect 20 silos from two incoming each. And that means the US can counterattack. To guarantee killing every single silo, the attacker must now have 20+2 warheads targeted at every single silo. The attacker has to build far far more offensive weapons than the defender needs to build intercepters, if the attacker wishes to avoid a counterattack.

Protection of the population comes from MAD alone, not by interception. (this of course isn't a reassuring thought, so this case isn't really made to the public).

That is why maneuvering hypersonics are considered such a threat: it removes the predictability of which warheads are going to land where, preventing that kind of choice of where to defend.
No! This is as much a conceptual mistake as "interceptor costs 10X as much as the missile it is designed to destroy, so antimissile defense is foolhardy" without taking into account the value of what the missile can destroy.

Maybe the boat will get through; maybe it won't. The ship might be intercepted before it reaches the target. Or security personnel with geiger counters can find it on the dock. And so on. From North Korea's perspective (or the USSR's during the Cold War, or Russia or China now), the uncertainty of the success of such an attack makes it very, very risky to actually deploy, except maybe in a situation where you're already losing the war (and in that scenario, the odds of a successful detection by the target are obviously that much higher).

A ballistic missile, by contrast, cannot be stopped except with great, great difficulty. That's why North Korea has built missiles for its nukes, and not a fleet of cargo ships and fishing boats.
How do you suggest it should've been used in this case? As a PyPI username (obviously pointless), or what?

Beijing is defended by two guards divisions. Who get woken up once it is determined that Beijing is the target and move into position.

Special forces are not very good against good regular troops. Special forces are really good light infantry. Regular troops have heavy weapons. Armored regiments have tanks. Mechanized infantry shows up with IFVs and troops.

This is the George Hotz MO: I trust him to create a lot less than I trust him to optimize, and I trust him with optimization only in a very narrow technical sense. "Optimizing" Twitter by reducing headcount to 50, regardless of the social or revenue consequences, is actually stupid. Optimizing a whole mess of software that exists between your tensor and the hardware is a decent idea.

"His point was that if you ever get into an accident and the first responders have to cut your ring for whatever reason (MRI machine, etc.), literally none of their tools would be able to do that on a titanium ring"

As a somewhat-experienced jeweler, titanium is not terribly-difficult to work. It's a pain to solder and weld (I use it for wire-wrapping in various gauges,) but cutting it is relatively easy, a good pair of hardened-steel thick wire cutters will absolutely shear it.
Yeah, I'm not a lawyer but the system seems honestly nonsensical. They found the law inconvenient, so the court just effectively added a "clear and present danger" clause to the law.

File -> Print to pdf…

Dodgy QR code sites are surprisingly common (pro tip: convert it back to text, and see if they are bouncing through a server so they can later charge you to prevent the code from “expiring”).

S3 sync + https lambda + cdn is a shockingly huge pain in the ass to setup, but once it is done, you just “s3 sync” the directory with the pdf you printed.

I agree with your general point though. That corner of the industry is full of predatory service providers.

While I love the JVM, and I also think it's one of the better runtimes in terms is backwards compatibility, there have been breakages. Most of the ones I've dealt with were easy to fix. But the ease of fixing is related to the access to source code. When something in a data stream is broken, be it an MP3 or a JPEG, I guess you almost inherently need special tooling to fix it (realistically). I imagine that with an SVG it'd be easier to hand-fix it.
Ron DeSantis announces run for president on Twitter Spaces
As the other comment here says, any company claiming to do data recovery, and damaging the original media to that extent, should be named and shamed. I can believe that DR companies have generic drives and heads to read tapes of any format they come across, but even if they couldn't figure out how the data was encoded, there was absolutely no need to cut and splice the tape. I suspect they did that just out of anger at not likely being able to recover anything (and thus having spent a bunch of time for no profit.)

Melted pinch rollers are not uncommon and there are plenty of other (mostly audio) equipment with similar problems and solutions --- dimensions are not absolutely critical and suitable replacements/substitutes are available.

As an aside, I think that prominent "50 Gigabytes" capacity on the tape cartridge, with a small asterisk-note at the bottom saying "Assumes 2:1 compression", should be outlawed as a deceptive marketing practice. It's a good thing HDD and other storage media didn't go down that route.
Heh, I remember in the early 1990s having a RAID array with a bunch of 4Gb IBM drives come up dead after a weekend powerdown for a physical move due to "stiction". I was on the phone with IBM, and they were telling me to physically bang the drives on the edge of desk to loosen them up. Didn't seem to be working, so their advice was "hit it harder!" When I protested, they said, "hey, it already doesn't work, what have you got to lose?" So I hit it harder. Eventually got enough drives to start up to get the array on line, and you better believe the first thing I did after that was create a fresh backup (not that we didn't have a recent backup anyway), and the 2nd thing I did was replace those drives, iirc, with Seagate Barracudas.

I guess the point is you can make an estimate of the CIT based on the geometry of the plane, and the speed and altitude it's traveling at. And similarly the CIT limit can be estimated from published data about the engine plus knowledge of the limits of the materials used when it was designed.

I had heard that space based stuff was “illegal” - finally looked up what treaty defines that

“Development of orbital weaponry was largely halted after the entry into force of the Outer Space Treaty and the SALT II treaty. These agreements prohibit weapons of mass destruction from being placed in space. As other weapons exist, notably those using kinetic bombardment, that would not violate these treaties, some private groups and government officials have proposed a Space Preservation Treaty which would ban the placement of any weaponry in outer space.”

Starship is insanely vulnerable for landings. It starts fast but has to slow down for landing. Which means that is vulnerable to every SAM in Beijing region.

I guess it could be done as drop of pods or something. The problem is that target can’t know the pods are troops and has to assume that they are nukes and this is first strike. China has no choice but to launch ICBMs immediately.

Plus, this risks the Starship itself. It might be possible to drop pods, now space and recently capable, and change directions. But is more likely that get in range of anti-ballistic missile.

I am convinced most fentanyl addicts got hooked on it because it is the only thing they could get their hands on. Fentanyl is a consequence of the drug trade being driven underground and controlled by unscrupulous street dealers. Who in their right mind would resort to using fentanyl if they could just walk in a pharmacy and buy cleaner, safer, and less addictive drugs?

I work in an investment bank that builds, operates and sells solar parks, and while the main builk of the work we do in the development department is in the fields of finance and asset management we do sometimes work with the solar inverters and similar. Being a non-tech enterprise means we're a rather small IT department in a large company that doesn't really care about tech beyond it working, as a result we've adopted Typescript as our "main" language. I've still build stuff in C and Rust, and our ML/AI employees do some of the work with Python, but over all we tend to use Typescript when and where we can because it's easier for our developers to switch and support each others if we work in the same language.

If we can use a Typescript subset maintained by Microsoft on the embedded devices at the solar plants, it'll be a absolutely amazing. Regardless of what came before.

Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't mind if something different took over. In many ways it would be much easier for us if we could do everything in Rust, but I don't think anyone in our team believe we'll see a realistic alternative to JavaScript on the frontend in our careers, so well...
