Technically that's wrong. Anything you distribute to another person needs to be GPL. You can link and load anything you want into the kernel for your own purposes.

Personally, I'm not persuaded that a loadable proprietary kernel module would constitute a derivative work, I don't see how the GPL could be enforced on a 3rd party like that. I think the courts and juries would be very sympathetic to Nvidia.
It's a van that sits on the road for a few hours each time it shows up. Illegally tinted windows so you can't see in. Sunshades in the windshield, so you can't see the driver. Our neighborhood is near a high school and middle school (one block away), and the guy freaked out a handful of neighbors. The dude is sketchy.
If the users actually achieve end to end encryption then why does it matter that the creator of the group has to authenticate?

Not really sure where you're going with this line of thought. I stand by my point.

Many people do purely use these cars for no purpose besides them being a status symbol, or to be more secure on the road (which could be suggestive of a non-confident or bad driver).

The roads are getting more dangerous and the climate is taking a bigger hit as a result of these cars being on the road. I'm sure once in a while they're useful for transporting things, but that point fails to come across when the bulk of the time that isn't the case, and it's just one person in an otherwise empty SUV driving to work.
Just don't disregard the warning in the other comments about google not being a reliable API provider. Especially with maps and weather APIs Google's track record is abysmal, and I personally had to swap out APIs for a FOSS project of mine because their API went away.

More metal (larger pins) = more electrical resistance. Plus, there’s a physical air gap on a socketed chip. The original LPDDR spec was able to drop voltage from 2.5V to 1.8V.
>aren't PINs weaker security-wise than biometric logins?

Depends on how you look at it. I'll focus on fingerprint here.

Sure, there are far more possible fingerprint features that can be identified for accept/decline decision "Does this match a registered fingerprint", than 1,0000 PIN combinations (4 digits).

But if the fingerprint reader is too lax in matching, it's possibly worse.

If you can crash the fingerprint reader system, which then accepts all future patterns, that's worse.

If you can trick the system into revealing all the biometric data it's collected, and then replay it directly without using the sensor using their debugging interface, that's worse.

That's not to say defaulting to PINs is or isn't the "least bad" option. Just that it's more complicated than the question makes it look.

There are other issues around your question in general that aren't particularly relevant in context:

You can't reasonably change or revoke your PIN.

Your device is likely covered in your fingerprints.
God forbid we should have to familiarise ourselves with a language before using it.
Yes, I agree. In my perfect world, a company is legally required to support ALL products they have ever sold, for an unlimited period of time.

There would still be warranty periods. But the company would be required to indefinitely continue selling replacement parts, provide repair services (or support third party repair services with manuals, schematics, etc), issue security updates for critical vulnerabilities, etc.
I'm not sure why it's supposed to matter. In both cases, China did a bad thing; in both cases, it's a good idea to review and possibly improve biolab safety protocols and also to end wet markets as the latter were obviously a biohazard even before the pandemic.

It's funny you mention Sensel. They had a product called Morph, which would have been my penultimate MIDI / OSC controller for music had they not discontinued it.
I had no idea they were (primarily) into laptop touchpads, but post factum this does make a lot of sense (no pun intended)

Luckily now there's also Embodme Erae Touch (dropped a couple of months ago), which has an additional benefit of having LED matrix under the surface to provide visual feedback. I haven't tested one though, so it might not turn out to be equivalent to the Morph.

Signal, WhatsApp, Matrix, XMPP all support E2EE. You can even host your own server for Matrix and XMPP.

In my experience, much more difficult problem is convincing people to install one of those to communicate with you. Network effects and the power of defaults and all.

I have (diagnosed) ADHD and it has always been very hard for me to learn new things, do daily tasks etc.

Over the span of years I tried many different methods, I kept going back to them, but I still had the same issues. The only thing that really worked and works for me is using spaced repetition programs.

I don’t know exactly what it is. Maybe it's the attention programming, seeing the numbers go down, the fact I chunk micro repetitions in between other activities, or maybe it’s all of these reasons. But it works. It really does.

Spaced repetition is not just for learning as I've found.
Perhaps you can send them code to execute server-side in a transaction? And so using their API means you have to develop in Clojure, too?

Or they're trying to attract developers to come work for them?
The diameter is quite similar - the paper here shows 760 nm which is in the same ballpark as asbestos fibers. Although it seems that lung cancer was more correlated with exposure to longer fibers (>20um) [1], and these are quite short (3.5um) and hopefully not something you inhale.

I wouldn't call anything based on Electron "lightweight".

My completely subjective list of text editors in order of lightweightness:

Notepad2 - a feather

Notepad++ - a dog

VS Code - an elephant
There are advantages of choosing JavaScript too:

- It is already possible to run LLMs and langchain.js directly in the browser. The web is the dev environment if you code JS.
There is no standard unit of housing. I currently rent a 2 bedroom apartment to myself. But if it got too expensive I could switch to a 1 bedroom or get a roommate. If it got even more expensive I could move in with my parents. If it got much cheaper, I might switch to a 3 bedroom.
I agree. 700 is steep... I pay just about as much as you do for phone, in fact I paid £290 for my current one.
According to TFA, just opening the file is sufficient to trigger the buffer overflow: “Open the file in Notepad++ to hit out of bounds access with ASAN.”

Say, a *.txt file attached to an email, the opening of which in a text editor is usually considered benign.

How? Other than if being very small particles, these spikes are nothing like asbestos fibers.
This weeks 99% Invisible podcast is on this exact topic. The bottom line is that while it is technically possible, it is really expensive and only makes financial sense if you create luxury apartments that can charge the very highest levels of rent. Also the legal and regulation red tape is a massive problem making many projects impossible to do, even if on paper they might be viable. In most cases the most practical solution, after taking financial and regulatory considerations into account, is simply to leave the building empty and hope for a future upswing in commercial real estate.
Yup, 1970. The Mythical Man-Month was published in 1975.

> They could open-source their drivers and use the GPL symbols, of course, but unlike AMD or Intel I doubt they're going to do that.

They already have, but their open modules only work on newer cards. https://github.com/nvidia/open-gpu-kernel-modules.
Ideally… yes. Consider that Windows APIs use UTF-16, not UTF-8, for wide characters. Microsoft's extensions to ISO 9660 used (big endian!) UCS-2 (a.k.a. UTF-16) for long filenames, NTFS uses proper UTF-16 I believe.
Small city resident checking in here, 1br apartments are going for $1500/mo on average here, and we're considered an extremely affordable place to live. The average person I know carrying a mortgage has a payment below that for much more living space.

What I would say we're missing is condominiums in the city center. Lots of apartments, fewer places to own in the inventory of downtown housing.
As an independent hacker using Google Maps or Mapbox have been out of reach for years given their high cost. Sure you get a free tier but as soon as you spend just a little above that it can quickly cost a small fortune. It is a bit sad for the developer community because there could without a doubt be a lot smaller and innovative projects that utilize maps if the pricing made that possible.

Long term I see "free" money from the government just expanding the class of people that are dependent upon the government for their way of life. The old "teach a man to fish" addage.
That's not the case.

Google customer communication could say 'unless you take action you will be shanghaied'.

Their consumer-facing terminology isn't what the law required. The law required one of two approaches, and they implemented the 'they default you in' one.

There's multiple issues reported, only the first one appears to be UTF-16 related and all of the reported issues trigger the issue with simply opening a malicious text file. The referenced conversion presumably happens eagerly so the editor can operate in utf8 in memory.

I think that's more severe than you suggest; it means that someone could craft malware and all it would take is get someone to view the file in notepad++ to run an exploit.
> Initial investigations into the problem show it relates to some of the flight data we received. Our systems, both primary and the back-ups, responded by suspending automatic processing to ensure that no incorrect safety-related information could be presented to an air traffic controller or impact the rest of the air traffic system. There are no indications that this was a cyber-attack.
We need to see the dodgy dossier, not the Iraq one, but the one filed by the French aircraft that supposedly bought a £multi million air traffic control system down. Je n'est ce pas?

I see some airports were handing out camp beds for the stranded, although it certainly wasnt any AirBnB by any means, at least it was in keeping with the spirit of the law, even if it was only a little will-o'-the-wisp from a bog.

Why didnt the UN declare a state of emergency because they could have set up refugee camps which appear to have better facilities, than anything the airlines or airports have laid on, or is the law really that inconsistent, it would have its own schizophrenia definition in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition aka the DSM?

devtoolstips is a website that gives tips and tricks about how to use devtools (in edge, firefox, chrome, safari, and even polypane).
Polypane is a development browser. There's absolutely nothing in common between the two.

Whats wrong with "all maps stuff is in this huge bigquery table. Here are a bunch of example queries to get you going."

SELECT business_name, business_phone FROM pois WHERE business_type = 'bank' and place_review_count > 10 ORDER BY distance(Location('New York'), location) ASC LIMIT 10;

Doesn't seem particularly hard for users to use 'right' - most people using an API will have some technical background and be able to use that.
Very true, it isn’t usually the best designed language that wins in these cases. The language just needs to be good enough like CPP and JS were. Python is nicer to write than either and with [mojo](https://www.modular.com/mojo) possibly rising in popularity, Julia will lose some of its benefits. The momentum is behind Python which is the ultimate factor.

Depends on your family situation. Sounds fine for couple with kids but most single and childless people still want to live in the big city close to their friends and support network.

Moving to the countryside could mean you get to live for cheap in a big house all by yourself, but it could also mean a crushing lonely depression if your closest friend is over 1h away and need to schedule meetings ahead of time instead of spontaneously meeting for a coffee in the neighborhood on the way back from work/gym.

I hope you're referring to 'someone can eventually get killed by this'.

For the love of humanity, please don't use this in any real world case. Llama will generate mistaken queries in at least single-digit % of cases (optimistically).

If you use this, it's a matter of time for a mistaken query to coincide with very bad timing and context, leading to bad outcomes.
That sounds plausible, sadly I don't know how to reproduce it.
Peer to peer doesn't really work for group video calls, like more than 5 or so participants. As n goes up, each peer is sending n video/audio streams and receiving n video/audio streams. This will quickly saturate your/your peers network and burden your CPU doing video encoding.

Suffice it to say there are other things you can do besides just a central relaying server, but it's the most common architecture.
You are right: NTFS exclusively runs on UCS-2, now "UTF-16 without validation". Back in the 1980s "Unicode" referred to a way to represent the ISO standard "Universal Character Set", i.e. UCS-2, instead of being synonymous to the entire character set like today. The wisdom of i18n back then was to use "Unicode" text encoding because it covered the known universe of writing. Qt made a similar choice.

First: this is still direct influence by the people.

Second: UK parliament theoretically has this power, but in practice private members bills are either trivial, filibustered, or both ("nurses should have free parking at the hospitals they work in"). In practice this is up to the government, and given how much of the uk government is "convention" rather than constitution, it's almost impossible to untangle it without at least a politics degree.

Third: can you name literally even one other trade agreement that tries? If there is one, and there may be, I've not heard of it.

Don't forget battery life, roaming, discoverability etc.

The days of everybody having exactly one computer with a rarely-changing IP address are over. These days, most people have a phone which changes its IP address a few times a day (when you leave your house and switch from WiFi to cellular and then go back.) If you wanted to be directly reachable, you'd need to share these changes publicly, which would make it pretty trivial to figure out when you leave home, who you visit, which cafes with free WiFi you frequent and which countries you go to for your business trips. The stalking potential here is enormous.
