Firmware is also software and as far as I can estimate it never got updated after release in the vast majority of cases up until like a decade ago.

Think BIOS/vacuum cleaner/shaver/toothbrush/alarm clock/dumbphone/non-smart TV/airplane kitchen equipment/medical diagnostics devices/PLC's that control most of the entire world's infrastructure and so on.

It's entirely possible and very common to have an actual "final" software release and be just fine (at least up until recently before the whole "everything needs to have internet for telemetry" hype).

Panamanian here. The forest in the Canal watershed is pretty well conserved. The issue now is related to climate change and reduced rainfall. The new locks demand more water, though I can't say if not having those would make a difference in the current situation.

The Canal authority wants to dam more rivers and displace 10k people to make sure there is enough water to keep the thing running. Tens of thousands were forced out of their homes to build the Canal originally. It's fair to question how far Panama should go to keep being a canal country

I don't get how that's a much different disconnect than the person on their smartphone, it's just one that you're comfortable with differentiating yourself using.

there was a point in nearly every transit-style life-span where the entertainment was supposed to be the thing itself. It would have been seen as despicable to read a novel on a very early passenger air flight -- the thrill and entertainment is supposed to be the thing itself.

Then it gets normal, then it progresses to boring, and then you tune out.

It seems like a pretty normal progression, and it has happened time and time again; it'll probably happen with again with flying cars/human-cannons/transporter beams/whatever, too.

A VM cloud provider can't block you from running at least one thread, which is all the malicious threads required for this attack.

However none of the big cloud providers share CPU cores between users to combat exactly this kind of thing. I really wish the people that did these disclosures were more up-front about this, instead of saying vague things like "frequently happens on modern-day computers". Though I guess you can assume that if an attack would work on AWS the researcher would definitely mention it, so the lack of such an explicit claim almost ensures the attack is not viable on major clouds.
Apparently it’s 6 MW, which ain’t nothing, but isn’t a tremendous amount either. I don’t know what a typical battery storage facility can put out instantaneously - I would think more, perhaps substantially more. Though the lake certainly would have the capacity advantage!
That software experience does not look as bad as I was expecting.

That performance is shockingly good, am I missing something? Comparable to a Titan RTX? Yes, that card is 4 years older but it cost an order of magnitude more, has almost twice the die area, and has twice the GDDR6 bus width. The A770 theoretical FP16 is apparently a bit higher (39.2T vs 32.6T) but in gaming workloads the Arc cards far under-perform their theoretical performance compared to competitors. I guess ML is less demanding on the drivers, or perhaps some micro-architectural thing. In gaming performance the Titan RTX is about 70% faster than the A770.

I'm really looking forward to the next generation now.

It's the same as any product, the product team wants a faster, cheaper product, yesterday. Security and trust is secondary, because if you're lucky enough, that will fall on the next product team.

Beyond that, processors contain billions (or trillions?) of possible outcomes from a set of inputs. Testing for all of these just to verify reliability and stamp out logic bugs is really hard due to the combinatorial explosion. Putting security testing on top just complicates matter further. The best they can probably do is map out potential ways in which their general purpose processors could be used for specific nefarious uses.
You should read Thomas Sowell. You're not thinking about second and third order effects of policy . Loan forgiveness is like the government offering unlimited student loans. Can be argued in the short term but has the moral hazard of making college the only viable path to success.
Raising minimum wages and lowering rent is trying to control outcomes at the final level but ignore that raising the minimum wage cuts out the bottom of the market and prices out these low skilled males in the first place. Also legislatively trying to limit the price of housing while having political policies that result in an ever increasing demand for housing and expanding of the city population, while simultaneously limiting the ability to build in a city which limits the ability to expand the supply. You're suggesting "Do something" without looking at the consequences of what those policies are on a second and third order of effect, and not realizing how those "good intentions" make things worse.
I not 100% convinced that profile works either. I tried multiple times to hire for my team which works with a combination of library maintenances build tool development and package management.

And don‘t get me started with CI etc. Sysadmins and what most understand of DevOps are not the right kinda people. Not to say there are not people among this group.

The phrase “cool stuff” suggests that there is some general agreement on what’s interesting. There isn’t. You get to define what’s cool-for your tastes, not what others say it should be.

In fact, the best that any large group of people (i.e. society) can do to is to define the mean (i.e. mediocrity): that which the majority of people can agree on. The interesting stuff isn’t at the mean, it’s in the tails.

Life is about discovering things and discovering yourself. You’ll find the gems if you just start digging.
I’m confused how you think it doesn’t follow? Maybe our conception of model is at differing levels?

Already I can clock a button and set it to what temperature I want and it maintains that.

If I were someone whom got excited at the prospect of my AC being part of a botnet I could even connect it to the wifi and control it from an app on my phone or through a home assistant.

Who wants this? Why is this a thing? Good God you spent so much time wondering if you could you didn't stop to think if you should.

Edit: God this is even worse than I thought "For industrial control, developing high-performance controllers with few samples and low technical debt is appealing." I think that using GPT to run our industrial control systems is like asking dolphins to be in charge of our nuclear reactors. Whoever proposed this should never be allowed to make decisions regarding technology ever.

Without getting into a philosophical discussion of whether ad hominem is ever appropriate.

This is, in fact, the opposite of ad hominem.

Ad hominem would suggest we are attacking the claim based solely on the author's credibility. In fact, multiple independent replication experiments failed and theoretical models suggest it doesn't work.

So instead of attacking the authors the question is should we be trusting them at their word, and the answer which is reasonably based on credibility seems to be no.

That is precisely how Unity works already. Yes they have the forums etc. But what gets into a fix release and even if a breaking change gets promoted to an LTS version is decided by big corp license agreement.
I don’t really agree with your sentiment, but the points you make aren’t wrong. The big issue I see is with your last point:

> 3. And if people are automatically pulling code from random people/groups without checking it... maybe that's what actually needs to be banned.

Github does not have control over this but would largely be blamed for the fallout, regardless of how reckless some individuals may be.

The best most orgs can do to avoid liability/risk is usually to make changes to things they control, even if it isn’t the best option.

great - however you are one person, the large banks involved here have staff of a few hundred thousand each across several countries and with various backgrounds and norms, many who are also friends and have contact with each other outside of office hours.

I agree, one needs to keep work comms on approved software, I'm simply stating that while it's fun to be like "oohh big bad bank was hiding secret convos" it was more likely "janet i'm out today can you take the meeting with svp of <insert corp>"

Since every top level comment here is a borderline tire fire, let me be the first to say:

This is great news. We need better treatments for PPD, which is real and very serious that can cause long term lasting effects in serious cases without treatment, and can sadly even be fatal.

Quality of life has risen steeply over the past several decades but mothers still walk an unpaved road. It's deeply worrying the lack of support and proactive care new mothers receive from medical professionals, though it is getting better, just very slowly.

I hope this helps many new families survive and thrive.

He’s not being charitable to cops who abuse their power, he’s pointing out that good cops receive backlash due to the actions of bad cops.

Being outraged at cases of abuse doesn’t mean you have to stop empathising with the difficult job that most cops have.

> However, neither diamagnetic levitation nor zero resistance was observed in any of our LK-99 samples. In the synthesized samples, we found few very small pieces of materials, either black or pink appearance under optical microscope, with strong para- or ferromagnetic response. That is, these samples move, flip, or stand as the magnet moves underneath, similar to those reported in some videos (e.g., as in Ref. 7) in an attempt to replicate LK-99 diamagnetic levitation. We carefully separated these particles and performed EDX analysis on them. As confirmed by EDX, these magnet-responsive particles have iron inclusions (Fig. 5). This helps to explain our results with magnetic response. Unfortunately, despite all the care has been taken to avoid iron contamination during the process, some remains.

Algae isn't hard to grow and makes great fuel, it's just very difficult to harvest (and depending on what you're doing, biofouling may make it difficult to maintain a system long term). Things like corn and soybeans work okay to create fuel, but they're easy to harvest. (Note that we aren't using wild types of vascular plants either, except in eg wood stoves.)

Food supplements are a much higher ticket item than fuel. It's a lot easier to make money that way. But you're right, pivoting to some kind of food product is a cliche.
