I am not suggesting the metrics are meaningless, I am suggesting everything else you need to do not covered under these or nist csf becomes lower priority or even seen as wasteful. In case you are not aware if it look up "mcnamara fallacy", a phenomena I have seen many times in corporate infosec, measurement itself is (wrongly) the goal instead of understanding and interpreting the measurement.

Check this:

> Number of malicious domain requests blocked.

Does this mean your domain reputation system sucks if that number goes down or does it mean you are cleaning up your assetts well? If you knew for certain they were malicious, and didn't block them, that is what it is meant to capture but in reality a downward linechart is all that is needed to fulfill the metric.

> Increase in the number of cybersecurity students trained in courses offered or funded by CISA.

> Increase in the percentage of cybersecurity courses offered or funded by CISA that target underrepresented populations.

The few "cyber security" grads I have seen start their career knew less than a helpdesk analyst. From well reputed colleges! Where is the qualitative metric?

> Reduction in our time-to-detect adversary activity affecting federal agencies and critical infrastructure partners.

Which adversaries? So, if defender remediates 10000 malware infection attempts within a day and you have 2 APTs with 90day+ dwell time, how does this work out? How does one's efforts to reduce APT dwell time fit in?

> Reduction in the time-to-remediation across each identified intrusion

This seems like a good idea on the surface but really, it should be time-to-containment. The IRL impact is, analysts will rush to remediate without properly analyzing and scoping the compromise. So long as the containment was effective and the eradication time is not unreasonable, who cares? The worst APTs are very hard to contain if you don't take your time to analyze their behavior, even containment is discourages in certain contexts to avoid tipping them off.

But stepping back a bit, I am with you that some of the metrics (especially around vulnmgmt) are solid. Lack of details, what isn't said and lack of emphasis on understanding are what make this harmful if taken as-is. For an org like the US government, I can see how this can be a good set of metrics for governmental departments and agencies, to enforce some reasonable level of security posture, expecting security teams to go beyond this and implement a much better set of goals and metrics according to their resources. But in the corporate world, this becomes the helm that drives the ship. You have one security org in the company and managers look bad when resources are spent doing things that don't help this metric and analysts "make" their numbers, unable to change deficiencies they see day to day that could help management understand the metrics (because that isn't the goal, the metric alone is the goal!).

The one from a few years ago was a big breakthrough in that it overcame the "effective" input energy, proving possibility. This is just a follow-up, so it's mostly testing/replication/improved yield, etc, so this one per se is not as great an achievement, unless your down in the weeds

Think of it as curing a very hard disease in mice, which had no success before this point, like rabies. It shows possibility rather than it just being a theory on a chalkboard.

The next large test (ICF is not thought to be scalable to achieve true parity) is the large scale iter tomahawk test in 5 years as it's scheduled for 2025, which is supposed to reach overall breakeven, though we will see.

I'm not sure I understand the question. When the techs install a new brake assembly, the wiring harness is connected at the same time as the hydraulic system.

The pad itself is never changed on the flight line. It's quicker and easier to change the entire assembly and have the worn brakes rebuilt in a second line shop.
Would calculating algorithms that can be passed to a JIT-wise compiler callable directly, returning a pointer to object code that called can be called immediately count?

Turns out going from calculating an algorithm, optimized for whatever specialization is needed for performance, functionality & formats; to object code; to execution, with the simplest syntax imaginable, is pretty useful.

Ubiquitous superconducting diode effect in superconductor thin films
According to the screenshot attached to the tweet, it seems that the material needs to have oxygen atoms in exactly the right locations, too, not just copper. Annealing in an oxygen-deprived environment might not be conducive to that.

The original two papers were inconsistent with respect to the vacuum required in the process. Perhaps they were working with crappy equipment that can't maintain a vacuum and accidentally annealed their sample in normal atmosphere, giving rise to unusual properties. Kinda explains why even the original authors don't have enough good samples.
Unrelated to content of article but the fact that scrolling the article pushes sections onto the history stack (instead of replacing the top of the stack) is exceptionally rude. I should not have to hit back 10 times just because I skimmed through the subject headings.
Note: This is NOT about LK-99.
XRD used here only shows crystal lattice information for random orientated polycrystalline. It does not mean the two samples are identical. It does not prove whether they had single crystal or polycrystal.

You will need a four-circle diffractometer to prove two samples are identical, that also only work on single crystal if anyone can make it.
If LK-99 has the same resistance as the weight of a levitating frog, it's a superconductor
For the half levitated ferromagnetic sample: isn't there torsional force where that disc touches the magnet?

At this point we have many examples where it's fully levitated.
If so, it's only for one generation, until they add "tricks current AI detection" as a metric for the next training.
Several years ago I bought a sailboat that was sitting on a rusted out trailer, and I decided to build a new trailer for it from scratch. Proud moments were when I finished that part that the bow of the boat sits on with the crank thingy and my wife asked where I bought it, and when I went to register it at the state patrol the inspector didn't believe I made it myself. Anyway, the kicker was that since I live in Washington State I had to show all the receipts for the materials to prove they had been taxed, and the total came to....almost exactly the cost of buying a new galvanized trailer off the shelf. Yeah.

As long as you never ever cherry-pick from one branch to another when the source branch is intended to eventually be actually merged (directly or indirectly) into the destination branch I think it has its use cases.

If you break this rule you could be in for dealing with some atrocious merge conflicts though, so I try not to do it unless the branch I'm cherry picking from is a definite actual dead end (e.g. the change was an urgent hotfix against an old release branch and your workflow doesn't involve merging those back into main/master).

One of my favourite programs, esp. on my NeXT Cube. My wife wrote her Master's Thesis in WriteNow v2 on a Mac SE which I somehow managed to get printed on an HP LaserJet (IV I think it was --- the nice 600dpi one) at the college.

WriteNow was ~100,000 lines of assembler code.

It had an interesting history --- it was developed under contract for Apple as a hedge against MacWrite not making it --- when it was ready, they allowed it to be sold separately, then when Steve Jobs left Apple, it wound up getting ported to NeXTstep and for a while was bundled w/ Cubes until that was given up as anti-competitive.

They have immense adaptive pressure at the cellular level. The evolutionary process plays out within each patient. Aberrant cells that don’t have some sort of evasion mechanism will be identified and destroyed by the immune system.
It's half-truth, higher temperatures usually require high non-ambient pressure to achieve superconductivity.
The core is simple. Misfeatures like the stage and the stash and submodules are not part of the simple core. The workflow where we have no good way to hide history besides destroying it is simple but also stupid, particularly when destroying history also destroys your ability to collaborate or even merge your own code cleanly.
We see so many language critiques or preferences where the visuals seem to have been a main problem. "line noise" "sigils!!!" "too many parentheses" "unicode!!!". Which to me denote languages judged long before being looked at with any care.

Should this be a fundamental lesson for language designers? Should languages come with a converter to switch back and forth between the "calm, proper english version" and the "compact, expert mode" visual?

(Without mentioning the translated programming languages like BASIC in french and such things which were discussed on HN not long ago.)
My favorite thing that I've built is printer prop for a ballet piece about how horrible working with printers is. I had to gut the printer, which was a lot of fun, then figure out a way for it to make the noises we wanted when the dancers interacted with it. I was super happy with how it turned out, allowing the dancers to interact and run the printer while they were dancing.

I built a mobile, wood-fired sauna. It's 8.5 feet wide, 12 feet long and 13.5 feet tall. It seats 6. I like to run it 180-210 °F.

> and you and I both know that is not what unions do.

We do? That's news to me.

It's rather interesting seeing people support unions but won't admit any of the downsides.

It's almost like the pro-union folks have a theoretical idea of how a union should work, but that's in stark contrast with how they do work.

> I’m not going to respond after this

Almost like saying you have no real argument to offer so we'll just take our ball and go home.

Anyone who says anything negative about unions is clearly a Anti-Union shil spreading false propaganda. It's a tired tale...

Reducing people's opinions and arguments to "propaganda" or "talking points" attacks the individual instead of the argument, and attempts to misdirect through means of actual propaganda. Not one time have you offered an actual rebuttal... Which is pretty damning on its own.

FWIW we’re considering a version where you can host the metadata yourself for enterprise users.

This process is expected to take several weeks or months.

You do need to run it on the same code version. There are different ways deploy code changes. If you use one of our in-built versioning systems, the version is recorded in the workflow history (and you can either keep track of version-sha mapping or use a sha as the version). Otherwise, you can add code that adds the current code version as workflow metadata.

Something I often reflect on is the trend of engineers of all kinds being somewhat overrepresented in extremist movements. I think it's related: discomfort with inconsistency and uncertainty can push you to extremes in any domain. And the extreme viewpoints are where black and white thinking is closest to correct, and may be useful or valued.

XRD comparison isn't from eyeballing. The fact is, the original papers do not coherently specify "LK-99" because their equations, synth procedure, and subsequent analysis are all incomplete or contradictory. It's like they gave everyone 2 + 2 = 5 and so everyone's been trying to figure out how to get to 5, while also questioning 2 and 5 because the quality of the papers is so poor.

"We do not know the composition or structure of #LK99 with any confidence."
