Intel ME Management Engine, Intel AMT, Intel vPro (ME+AMT), AMD Pro; VNC to boot-time BIOS configuration

Intel AMT:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Active_Management_Techno... :

> AMT is designed into a service processor located on the motherboard, and uses TLS-secured communication and strong encryption to provide additional security.[6] AMT is built into PCs with Intel vPro technology and is based on the Intel Management Engine (ME).[6] AMT has moved towards increasing support for DMTF Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) standards and AMT Release 5.1 and later releases are an implementation of DASH version 1.0/1.1 standards for out-of-band management.[7] AMT provides similar functionality to IPMI, although AMT is designed for client computing systems as compared with the typically server-based IPMI.

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/s41a17/in_2017_amd_p... :

> To understand what PSP and ME can do you need to understand CPU security rings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_ring . These are different levels of privilege software has on the system.

> Originally the Linux kernel occupies ring 0, which is the level with highest privilege. Then user space would run in some other ring.

> However with things like PSP and ME they have created rings lower then ring 0. Things like Ring -1 and -2. Intel Minix ME runs in -3 ring.

vPro supports VNC over TLS.

coreboot and Libreboot don't support PQ SSH, TLS, VNC, or DASH;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libreboot, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coreboot

DASH: Desktop and Mobile Architecture for System Hardware
https://www.dmtf.org/standards/dash :

> DASH provides support for the redirection of KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) and text consoles, as well as USB and media, and supports the management of software updates, BIOS (Basic Input Output System), batteries, NIC (Network Interface Card), MAC and IP addresses, as well as DNS and DHCP configuration.
I absolutely see what you're saying with that. I think I'm definitely the target audience of the abstracted definition, but I've long held that every new object should be introduced with 3 examples and 3 counter-examples. But you said it yourself- that's the style pure math texts are written in! Saying that "we" as a species don't have a good understanding of linear algebra is unbelievable nonsense. I can't conceive of the thought process it would take to say that with a straight face. The fact is, 10 separate YouTube lectures disconnected from anything else is just the wrong way to try and learn a math topic. That's going to have as much or more to do with why dual spaces seem unmotivated as the style of pedagogy does.
Pardon my ignorance, but my thought was that Erlang/OTP was pretty much the reason folks used Erlang in the first place. I guess that's no longer true these days?
We've reached maximum reply depth.

> This is not a hypothetical. In many healthcare systems, that is the approximate timeframe for medical practice, doctors are amongst the most expensive and selectively educated service professionals on the planet, and can still be readily hoodwinked by a bad faith approach.

Yes, because they are trained, licensed, and incentivized to place other things above fraud detection or customer service itself. I was literally discussing with the other person about Youtube, for which 5 - 10 years of training is sufficient to train a concierge and still leave 4.5 - 9.5 years dedicated to fraud detection and prevention.

People complain about health care all of the time, yet most of them still come back to it. The threshold for flouncing due to bad user interface is a lot higher than for Youtube.
The boat analogy seems particularly poor.

a) Comparing a sailboat on a windy day to a sail boat on an [implied] non-windy day? Surely the boat with no wind wouldn't even have a circle.

b) I'm no boatologist, but if the wind is X knots, then the boat can travel downwind at a rate of X knots, but contrary to what the article states, the boat would be able to travel cross-winds at some multiple of X. So you would get something resembling an oval, but in the opposite orientation as depicted.

Also, it's worth pointing out that it's perfectly possible for a boat to travel "into" the wind via "tacking and jibing"

Because our minds are sacred. They're not empty spaces they get to insert brands and products into at will. I consider that a form of violence. Their surveillance capitalism should be literally illegal. They should be scrambling to forget all about us the second we're done transacting with them, not amassing vast amounts of information into data lakes.
The question I have is why you are arguing in such bad faith.

You argument can be resumed to: if you know how to build electronics, have access to the extremely expensive machine needed and have the skill/knowledge to do it; it is easy.
Then you go on conspiracy theories rant (WTF ?).

I don't know what your motivations are, but you are so dishonest it is troubling.

Nobody is arguing for companies to make special investment in repairs or whatever. What is asked is simply access to parts they ALLREADY MAKE to build their stuff. So that people can avoid wasting time reinventing the wheel every time they need to fix a small part.

It is not complicated nor a big demand. Companies making devices should have an obligation to put their parts used for building the devices in the open market. There also should be allowed competition on the supply of compatible parts depending on what are the user's priorities. This is something we already do for cars. But Im sure you rethread your tire by hand (equivalent to the battery), and you glue black together by hand all the broken rear-view mirrors.
This is nonsense, it is unbelievable how terrible your take actually is.

What they are supposed to do? To just do nothing and let terrorists grow stronger and do what they want?

> Israel's retaliation is war crimes, terrorism.

You're wrong but if you repeat it a thousand times maybe it will become truth. A war crime is using civilians as human shield. Terrorism is indiscriminately launching rockets at civilians areas, of which ~30% hits Gaza. Terrorism is killing civilians purposefully in barbaric ways to send a message and incite fear. Hamas and Iran are the architects of what is happening today in Gaza.

Really well said, I think this is an excellent way to frame the dichotomy (comparison?).

Much of these threads make the binary mistake: can these systems be compared, or are they fundamentally different? A bit of both, almost certainly.
I understand and agree with your sentiment but .net core on windows is definitely not rare. What's rare is asp.net windows developers knowing what a reverse proxy is (they typically install the asp.net core hosting packages).

> Or that fraud is an evolutionarily stable strategy within the environment.

I like this take on it.
>My best relationships are ones that have felt effortless from the start. The ones where I had to put in more effort to make the connection work ended up not being as good.

the sad part in adult life is that "effortless" =/= "no effort needed". Unless you have some sort of worth, people won't just drive up to your house to hang out. You need to make some effort to get out there and do some regular meetups until that "click" happens. As you allude to, sometimes that click never happens. Maybe it never existed, maybe the opportunity never arose.

it's way different from college or grade school where you are around people your age 8+ hours a day with plenty of events tailored towards more people your age, and you get more time to have that click align.

>Isn't the entire point of technological progress offloading the high effort of all the needs and wants of life from humans to machines?

yes, but it's not the goal of sites like Tinder. And I haven't seen a successful "just wanna hang out" site/app yet to begin with. they want continuous money and their product's success cases means the customer is finished.

I think an app can do a great job bringing people together, but Tinder has grown too large and as a result diverged from the customer's needs.
I can’t see that they actually use those definitions though. Cannabis is still schedule I, even though it has many accepted medical uses.

When I see these TTL CPUs made from very few chips they leave me scratching my head. If it was this easy to build a fast 8 bit computer with a small number of the 7400-series logic chips that were available at the time, why was everyone so jazzed about the introduction of the 8080 and 6502?
This is brilliant. Scheme broke me back in school- I could not get my head around it. I’ve thought about trying it again now that I’ve got a better understanding of what my professors were trying to actually teach with it. And here you are with the exact book I’d forgotten the name of!
He wrote an autobiography - he was a young man who was a communist because he believed in scientific materialism. He later recanted after some of his friends were shot and killed by the police.

Popper said he noticed that scientific materialism proposed by communists or Freud's theories was very different from the lecture he heard by Einstein - Einstein looked more like science.

Communism whatever anyone thinks about it is obviously not science. They claimed to be science at first and proposed scientific materialism as the future.

Today even communists seem to have recanted this idea instead preferring to criticize capitalism and present themselves as the only alternative. We all know today it's not science.

I don't want to debate politics only to say Communism was never science, it's politics - Popper noticed that quickly and it was one of the imputus for his ideas based in his own autobiography

He also dedicated his book the poverty of historicism to the countless men and women who lost their lives to fascism and Communism and their false belief in historical destiny

Open society and it's enemies also contains a long critique of Marx and the idea that history follows certain laws that must play out a certain way.
I still don't know what Fly Apps vs Fly Machines are and I stopped caring about their service as a result.
> The developers github account was compromised due to a sim swap on their email account while they were on vacation, and someone pushed a fake commit as that person.

...which is why it's irresponsible to sign packages unless you have a strong enough relationship with the developer (or are that developer) such that you would notice the malicious release. Signing packages without that level of trust creates a false sense of security in the user.

The Nix approach is to solve the packaging problems in a transparent and verifiable way so that the users can more quickly move from scrutinizing the package to scrutinizing the underlying software--which is where the scrutiny is most helpful anyway.

> we should question the motivations of anyone not willing to do something so basic to protect users.

There are a lot of valid criticisms you could reach for about Nix or its community, but lazy about security just isn't one of them. Our strategy involves different trade-offs than is typical, but that doesn't make them negligent or malicious.

You can use the embedable release of python (which is signed) to run arbitrary unsigned code on windows. If you don't believe me, try it. Code signing on windows is a security theater at best and is next to useless.

I agree that let's encrypt should just issue them. If Microsoft refuses to support it, someone should write a windows kernel module to add (or patch in) support.
It would be ridiculous for a state to sponsor a toy OS. I think it's absurd.
I think the parent comment is referring to this paragraph:

> Pasteurella bacteria has previously been linked to the sudden death of about 200,000 saiga antelopes in Kazakhstan – an incident that researchers believe could shed light on what happened to the elephant herds. Scientists believe the Pasteurella bacteria generally lives harmlessly in the tonsils of some, if not all, of the antelopes. An unusual temperature increase to 37C, however, caused the bacteria to pass into the bloodstream, where it caused septicaemia.

I read it as the effect of body temperature, but the parent has interpreted it as air temperature. I am not sure which interpretation is correct.
What does this comment add to the discussion?
I joined a project that was fully deployed on Vercel. We routinely ran into issues with limitations, outages and sharp edges. Our junior devs had also taken advantage of Vercel specific features (I remember a Vercel specific request object in the code specifically).

Given all the problems and the vendor lock in from tight coupling I advise everyone I discuss Vercel with to avoid them like the plague.

The brain communicates with itself, so deep layers are equivalent to sections of the brain talking to each other. The only relevance white matter depth has is with regard to how it's trained, and since it doesn't use gradient descent, it's irrelevant to neural networks in that regard.
Have a read through the first paper describing a convolutional neural network, from 1998: http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/publis/pdf/lecun-01a.pdf

There's absolutely no mention of biological inspiration whatsoever. At the same time, one can point to a long and rich history of convolutional filters being used in signal processing. And then there's the name, Convolutional Neural Network. The entire concept of a CNN is framed as a series of learned filters.
Istio kind of sucks TBH from the architecture astronauts getting high on their own supply. It reminds me of the worst excesses of OOP abstraction. The sort of code that you want to burn down to the ground after hitting your head against it for a few days.

The Gateway API is a relatively straightforward implementation of "north-south" traffic and doesn't try to handle "east-west" traffic, limiting its complexity. Its existence means I can use something more sane like Contour, but it's built on common resources that Istio can understand nicely as well, if need be. So the overall advantage is that you can hop between implementations without having to relearn everything from scratch.

My biggest frustration with the Gateway API is actually how extensions are developed: the spec just doesn't (or didn't last time I looked) touch timeouts other than just saying "implementation defined" because of the different ways that's handled currently. To create extensions, just define your own custom resource that does whatever you want not currently covered by the spec.
Germany had plenty of resources to assault most of Europe. The resources they did have could have been used for good, but they chose to exterminate millions, and then tried to hide the evidence. They attacked every country around them because of twisted ambition and their corrupt fascist ideology. They were most certainly not correct in suggesting that it was the Jews and gays and everyone they didn't like that was the cause of any problems within Germany. They demonized "the other" to gain support for making war.

> moonstone is a sub sherlock holmes detective story

Moonstone was the original. And personally I always thought Holmes’ leaps to be implausible, even as a kid.

This is false logic. Youtube is free to not show anyone anything - once they send me data and it leaves their system, they have no claim to it.

When I shout on a public street "sing me the Francoise Hardy version of I'll Be Seeing You," no one has to reply. If they do reply, but they decide to sing a 2 minute ad for a pyramid scheme first, I am free to cover my ears till the song comes on.

Google's servers have a public internet IP. I can "shout" a request to them. The data they send back to me, is mine to do with as I please. I am free on My computer, from the memory buffer on a RAM stick I own, to ignore some of the bytes, in My RAM change some of the bytes, or save some of the bytes to a file on my HDD. They are free to ignore any request I shout at them, but they have zero say in what I do on equipment they do not own.

This might be one of those very valid use-cases for an "A.I." / LLM to classify "hostile" messages into some sort of "junk bin" and maybe flag ones it's not entirely certain about for human review. Could fairly dramatically cut down on the garbage hopefully, leaving only the stuff worth reading.
Its not about vercel or fly.io. Its about openstatus dev

Their migration timeline from their blog:

1. August 2, 48 hours after public launch 400+ users

2. August 20, migrate from planetscale to turso (sqlite)

3. Oct 29, migrate from vercel to fly.io, migrate from nextjs to hono, also mentioned change to bunjs.

This is seems like they tend to (sorry I'm judging here):

1. move fast break things or

2. don't have a plan before launch day or

3. only chasing the latest tech buzz.
People were skeptical then as well. What you're missing is that religion in the premodern world had political and cultural dimensions that are largely non-existent in modern Western society. Rejecting someone's divinity when the current political leader legitimizes their rule by descent from that person is also rejecting the current political leaders. That's could be quite a dangerous statement to make, so it's one you'll be relatively quiet about compared to the people writing mythical stories into official histories that survived to the present day.
If you are using Cloudflare DNS, that's why. This comes up frequently, CloudFlare always comes along and gives a vaguely dishonest answer as to why they won't fix it. Stop using 1.1.1.1; if you are using private relay (which implicitly uses cloudFlare) that's why this is happening.
