The game shown here, Midnight Club II, required the CD to be in the drive to play it. With the advent of Steam and companies releasing older games on Steam, they needed a way to bypass that check. Bypassing a CD (commonly called No-CD) was a very common crack/DRM bypass back in the day. Rockstar didn't want to bring up old source code and find someone who understood it enough to remove the check, so instead they just installed a No-CD crack into the existing EXE and uploaded the thing to Steam.
I'm not sure we will ever have a universally accepted objective measure of risk. Risk is, by its nature, somewhat subjective.

Most organisations will use CVEs and the CVSS system as a starting point, but will triage them and produce their own assessment of the actual risk to them and their products given how the software is used.

I'm fairly sure this is because of the longer context window they've probably enabled for GPT4 on ChatGPT, I'm seeing the same thing.

When you use the longest context window, it tends to place the most focus on the first and last message, for whatever reason. So if you instead of continuing the conversation, you start it from the beginning but with the additional information gained from the previous one in the initial message, it does a lot better.

>disagree with the notion that I'm doing dishonest discourse. I merely disagree with you that the package as you have linked it is deceptive

Nah, the chain was:

Me: They mimick meat products as closely as they can and relegate the vegetarian part to the small text

You: Vegan products enjoy a healthy markup, and vegan stuff sells nicely. No producer is relegating the fact that their product is vegan to some fine print in the hopes to trick someone trying to buy animal meat

Anyone engaging in honest debate would look at the package I linked and see that it doesn't look like anything you describe. They also wouldn't say "No-where does it mention meat" and then completely ignore the fact that "meat and cheese co" is on the package when pointed out.
I think it's always better for the customer to have access to the code inside. I'll actively recommend FLOSS solutions to customers even if they're not quite as good as the competition on paper right away. Simply because a large part of the cost of industrial hardware is actually supporting it for a long time. And support is SO MUCH EASIER if you have all the source code and schematics. Of course big customers get to demand this kind of arrangement (floss, escrow, or even just "give us all the paper") while small industrial operations end up paying a premium for inferior service.

Things I would have liked this article to include:

* A link to the actual suit

* Some of the specific claims made in the suit: is Gino alleging inaccuracies, or something else?

* An explanation of what "Data Colada" is, and who is funding it. Relevant because their employer would often fund the defense if it comes from research they paid for, and in this case all I've seen is that they are funding "some" of it, with an indefinite amount of the (expected) remainder being requested via GoFundMe. If they're a small, poorly-funded project, that would explain it, but I do want the article to give me this kind of context.

* I guess just in general I would have liked to see a more neutral tone, and for the writer to have some sort of legal background. Enough to provide the readers some sort of context for what is happening, rather than just how they should feel about it, which is what it seems to be doing.

It's a bad sign that I don't see much in this article that couldn't have been taken from the GoFundMe project page text.
Yeah there's literally no reason to ever sell something like this. It's like selling all of the missiles. Oh now we need missiles, guess we'll need to buy them from the new private missile reserve.

- "produce a lot of natural gas and hence helium"

Right about gas, but it doesn't follow that they've invested in infrastructure to cryogenically separate helium from gas fields, the way they did with neon (at steel plants). (That was the colorful thing about the neon crisis: every country in the world has enormous neon resources; the list of countries that can produce industrial amounts on <6 months notice is short).

I looked it up: Ukraine doesn't export any helium (as of 2019 public data), and it has helium production capacity but it's marginal. Algeria is world #3, behind the USA and Qatar.

Well, I think it all depends on why someone is buying a Chromebook.

Is it because they want a cheap clamshell with a keyboard? (Tablets adjust poorly to this use case.)

Is it because they want a cheap general-purpose computer?

I've seen enough non-institutional users of Chromebooks to see that there is a market for them. (I had one of the original demo units and really liked it.) I can see why Apple would want to get a piece of that market.

The hardest errors to group / tag are ones that are further removed from the actual error cause (think frontend bug that causes a bad request that then causes a backend error, or an OOM because of a gradual memory leak). For these, we're looking at other ways to give more context to the LLM about an error (for example, associating frontend errors with backend ones and providing both as part of the request) but we also have limits on the LLM input size (512 tokens for the mdoel we're using, gte-large).

The authors of the PWAs would need to opt-in to this.

We distribute LOB banking apps as PWAs to our customers. In no reality would I consider incorporating this into our tech stack. We use PWAs and avoid native apps precisely to maximize compatibility across arbitrary IT policies in our various customer installs.

I don't know if our customers want to use linux, windows, android or apple. I don't WANT to know anymore. I just want to target a common API (HTML5), add some bandaids for iOS/Safari (usually after WWDC each year) and move on with life. Throwing DRM and platform constraints into the mix sounds like I might as well go back to native (I won't).

We are one of the few vendors that will actually get into a heated argument and push back against customers over FUD security crap like this. If a prospect insists that we add some draconian DRM to our product stack, I would make it very clear to leadership that I do not think we should do business with that customer on technical grounds.

If you find yourself in a situation where you need to trust the client implicitly, then you have catastrophically failed in the rest of your design.

I'd really like to see a "spiritual successor" to Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics--something that can take off and achieve a life of its own.

SICM is open-source, and many people have implemented their own versions of parts of it, but I would love to see a vibrant and active community develop around such a beautiful computer algebra / computer-physics system.

SICM goes far beyond simple Newtonian mechanics, implementing calculus, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, and differential geometry, and probably a whole lot more that you just have to spelunk into the source code to discover.

>The goal is to limit those as much as possible, but they'll still happen. "Fixed price" is largely not fixed anyways, as you should always account for change requests and other budget altering mechanisms. I don't think I've ever seen a non-trivial project not have some level of change once work has started.

These need to be handled as separate change orders. Following the model, price the scope changes appropriately based on clearly defined requirements. This part takes some finesse. Many clients may not realize how they can achieve their goals in the most cost-effective manner.
This sounds like a reasonable approach (sorry for the pun). One question - reasonable to whom? (who? - english is my first language sorry).

I ask because when I was doing security research, we'd often present issues and get responses like "but who is going to think of that?" or "No one could find that", only for someone to think of or find it later and take over a system. I still occasionally hear this from software developers (even though the industry as a whole has gotten much better over the years), but quite often from people who work in "cyberphysical" systems (e.g IOT).

Part of the tension seems to come from the fact that some infosec people can be equally unreasonable, declaring something utterly useless if there's a remote theoretical chance of a problem.

Unrelated to the above:

> Maybe here, a vulnerability needs to be patched if it might reasonably be expected to allow an attacker to take control of a device...

I suspect you know this and short-cutted for conversation, or maybe these are all the same legally, but "take control of a device" isn't the only win condition - DOS, info leaks, and so on also exist. I note this because I'm kind of curious if the law considers those the same or vastly different scenarios, and if any sort of FCC regulations would include them.

> Their $8 McDonalds order with a $14 delivery fee.

It seems everyone is dancing around the obvious central fact: the drivers get an embarrassingly small amount of that $14 fee. The customer pays a premium, the driver is paid a pittance, it’s hardly surprising there’s an expectations mismatch around customer service.

If the delivery apps charged a fee that accurately represented their role in the transaction (running automated software matching driver with customer) it might be a better experience for both customers and drivers. But the companies have sky high valuations they now need to deliver on, so they can’t.

> Delivery has figured out how to get to hallway doors for 50-100 years. This is a solved problem.

Right. Pre delivery apps I’d order in NYC and have no problems with doorstep delivery. So apply simple logic: what’s changed? The customers haven’t. The drivers haven’t. But there’s a new middleman.

Overt Acts and Predicate Acts
Consumers have no idea about security, the risks, the technology, how to evaluate it, or who to buy from. That is not a realistic solution.

Consider food or automobile security: Should consumers somehow evaluate them? Check the wiring? Find out, at every restaurant and grocery, how long the food has been stored and where?

IoT security has another issue: It can affect others more than the end user. If my IoT is DDoSing you, what will the market do about it?
I wonder if Apple is going to make an iPad with a clamshell keyboard? I see so many people use them like laptops now.
I'm guessing the issue is that it's obviously "inspired" by "Terraform" which shorthand is TF.

My second guess is that using "Open" together with something that implies "Terraform" is also a problem, as Hashicorp might sue them for defamation, as that name would imply that Terraform is not "Open". I'm not personally against that, I wouldn't consider Terraform "Open" anymore, but I'm not sure a court would see it the same way.

I just don't see how 'general computing' can ever be taken away from those determined to have it. Forget the latest, fastest CPUs for a moment and focus on what general computing really is.

I can build a computer from scratch from existing knowledge I have stored in my head. Computing that I'm in control of really can't really be taken away from me on a basic level.

I don't disagree though, the web itself is becoming a hellscape and I expect it to be completely and totally locked down within my lifetime. I don't think the web most people know is savable anymore.

Do the API keys map to end users / customers? If yes reporting via Langfuse (UI & GET API) can solve this.

If that's not why you use multiple API keys, you can add an api key id/hash (to not store the key in langfuse) as metadata and then group/filter by this metadata field.

How should defamation be handled? It is good to have recourse against baseless accusations, but we also want to prevent chilling effects discouraging fact-checking. If handled privately, then the public may not even be aware of falsified information while the parties resolve the claims; and we wouldn't want decisions or further research to be based upon falsified data.

> With defamation lawsuits, White said, “The process is the punishment.” Even assuming that Gino’s claims are dismissed at trial, the suit will still have bullied researchers who pointed out problems with her work — and may make other researchers more reluctant to follow in their footsteps by speaking out when they notice signs of data manipulation.

> “However, it is not worth it for me to do this in the future, or to share my findings publicly,” Pallesen wrote. “This would give me a non-zero risk of financial ruin, and no real personal upside. Probably many researchers are making this same calculation at this moment.”

Oh, give over. It's a basic fraud case, you're not hiring a white-shoe firm to represent you.

A few hundred bucks gets a lawyer to look at the case and make the phone calls - or send a letter or two - on your behalf. And the bonus is that they actually know what to say, as opposed to whatever you frenetically google, and know who to say it to, as opposed to whoever you happen to find in the phone book. Just having a lawyer signals to your counterparty that you are not winging it; that combined with an incredibly weak (at best) case & a complainant who has backed away can lead to your case being dismissed with less investment in time & worry than if you did it yourself.
What a useless article, especially given the title. Here's all they have to say about the layout:

There’s some dispute over how and why Sholes and Glidden arrived at the QWERTY layout. Some historians have argued that it solved a jamming problem by spacing out the most common letters in English; others, particularly more recent historians, hold that it was designed specifically to help telegraphists avoid common errors when transcribing Morse code. Regardless, after around 30 test models, Sholes and Glidden settled on QWERTY—and changed the world.

Only about 1 out of 5 techs actually have any idea what they are doing at these cable internet providers. It's great because the company doesn't actually care whether the techs do their job or not because they will bill regardless, and as long as you are waiting for a tech to come fix your service, you aren't taking them to court to get it actually fixed.

If you're a publisher, just the insurance for lawsuits like this can cost $10,000 to $20,000 at the low end, and even if there's little merit to the case the litigation costs can easily go into the hundreds of thousands of dollars if a few things don't break your way.

If your case gets the right publicity at the right time, there's a number of groups that might be a fit for pro bono assistance (I've personally benefitted from just that in at least three cases), but counting on that is a huge gamble and, even if the case is thrown out, then spikes your insurance costs down the road.

There are non-profits and foundations that help with supporting folks, but they have to be very selective — if one case can cost $250,000 in legal expenses, and those costs can go into the million+ range with appeals etc (let alone a loss), even very deep pockets can quickly run dry.

And to make matters worse, one person shared that a lot of lawyers that sue in this law actually look for folks that have insurance policies, and then just ask for whatever the max of the policy is, so the advice is don't bother with a $2 million policy vs. $1 million because they'll just double the ask.

Yes, in some cases you can try to recoup legal expenses, but that often involves more years of being tangled in litigation, more legal bills, and more uncertainty.

The economic literature abounds in observational studies that test economic theories. What are you basing your statement on?
Banks have no clue about 2FA/ MFA, they will happily put the bank app and the custom TOTP generator/ "key"-app on the same phone or, as a fallback, send SMS to the same phone the bank app is on. So in reality, it's at best 1.5FA because when the phone is owned, the user already lost. And it is really hard to not have the banking app on the phone with many institutions. Some institutions now put the TOTP generation into the same app too. Oh and there are limits on the user name and password-length that make it easier for attackers to crack, in some cases (in Germany) the password can be exactly 5 characters long and the username tends to be the debit card number by default.
In many ways, this is really cumbersome, not really secure and on top of everything else adding a false sense of security. Less advanced customers are either somewhat secure but then the product is barely usable or they can realistically use the service but the security is so-so.
Not quite. The Brazilian elite (that’s middle class and above, considering 30-40 million Brazilians live with hunger or near hunger) live in a dystopia of their own making where both parties are at risk of violence here.

Virtually all middle class and above housing is a tall tower with gates and security around it. Often double gate or triple gate. Just the time to get across that can be 5-10 min. If it’s your first time due to the need for ID.

The driver who leaves his bike outside risks losing it, but the person who comes down to get their food risks the driver being armed and robbing them or kidnapping them. Thus you have a sort of a Prisoner’s Dillema where nobody wins and everyone loses (except the app).

For the customer the safest thing is to get the driver through the triple lock, then have him drop off the food at your door inside the building and leave it there.

For the driver the safest and most efficient is to drop it off at the security at the door, but these days the security sometimes is virtual only anyway, there is no one to drop it off to, just cameras and fingerprint sensors.

So there is no way out of the game, except like many have said the apps should just charge for doorstep delivery. But this makes their lives more complicated, so they’d really like not to even if it results in death and robbery for both parties.

It absolutely is a threat. "Good guy with a gun" incidents are so much rarer than "bad guy with a gun" incidents that it would be insane to see it otherwise.

Or the next mass murderer, whose names I will not repeat. If I walked around with an unsheathed six-inch knife I'm pretty sure people would quite rightly feel threatened, and literally any gun is more dangerous than that. So yes, "dickheads" does apply.
