Promoting cyber security in the civilian workforce is also part of the DoD's 2023 "Cyber Strategy".

The Department will take action to foster a culture of cybersecurity and cyber awareness. We will establish an expectation that senior military and civilian leaders possess a baseline fluency in cybersecurity issues. The Department will develop, fund, and implement technical curricula across different levels of professional military and civilian education, emphasizing General Officer and Senior Executive Service leadership courses.

I’ve only used Java in the last ten years. I helped deal with the log4j incident at a few companies. We specifically had to patch systems that were running newer versions of Java and older versions of Spring. The exploit relied on a new method of adding code to the JVM at runtime that newer versions of Spring had locked down to prevent people from using.

I’ve never seen an explanation for why this mechanism was added or what it was supposed to enable — besides enabling new exploits.

Every time I’ve seen Java used for a safety critical application the justification has been entirely based on the fact that it has cryptographic libraries that are widely certified for safety by enterprises. The security people on our side were… resigned.

Conversion friction. Very important. Arguably the reason why Haskell is not 10-100 times more popular than it currently is; the conversion friction is just too much, and even if all the tooling was perfect and the libraries were perfect and the documentation was perfect it would still have too high a conversion friction to attract a community the size of Go or C# or something.

> For folks I know living in their own households, about 20% have it paid off.

Sure - if you're 25 and most of your friends are aged 20-35, probably <40% even own a home. And those that do are probably <10 years into paying it off.

Hell, a few years ago when interest rates were zero I heard a lot of people saying it was a bad idea to pay off your mortgage early, and far more sensible to invest the money instead. So even if the people your age got a big cash windfall, they might not have paid off their mortgage.

On the other hand, if you know a bunch of 65-year-olds who've had maybe 40 years to pay off their mortgage, and 40 years of inflation on their side shrinking the principal? It's probably a different story.
I mean that an organization would be a lot better than what you are doing now.

Alternatively, a "central" repo linking to the others would also work.

This. My understanding is that airliners basically always hit the pressurization cycle limit before anything else, so wing turbulence cycles are not important.
This is a common conception, and I agree to a point. However, interfaces matter. At the interface to _literally any_ system call, unsafe starts to creep out. Either in the wrapper implementation, or in the interface _to_ the system, or even leaking through the wrapper to the caller.

At that point, if we have to re-wrap everything in rust to hide the unsafety of the interfaces to the system (sockets, shared mem, etc etc), then why not just write safe cpp wrappers?

Yes, people are writing memory overflows in their own code, but I'd argue 99% of the critical security bugs are actually in the unsafe interfaces. And we don't really need a new language to fix that. We just need new interfaces.

I love Rust, but using it for anything nontrivial makes the "safe" patina really fade. You're quickly writing what feels like C, with MaybeUninit<X> all over.

I think you might have some sympathy with the arguments made in the book-length essay 日本語が亡びるとき: 英語の世紀の中で, which also argues that the English language dominance has a deleterious effect on non-English-language literature and that English speakers don't really notice this. (The book is available in English translation under the title "The Fall of Language in the Age of English". I don't think it's available in French translation, which is another example of English-language-dominance: English books get translated into lots of other languages, non-English books often get an English translation only, if that.)
How much does it cost though?
I do wonder, clearly there is a perverse incentive for YouTube to be less strict with ads, but is it also a question of availability? I've been paying for YouTube Premium, so haven't seen ads in a while, but before that I noticed that there was almost no variety in the ads. You just got the same three or four ads on repeat.

What I'm wondering is: Does YouTube not have enough quality advertisers? You'd think they'd turn away the scammers, because actual business doesn't want to be on the same platform as some shady "buy/sell gold" or similar. If they don't, is that because there's no money, or not enough honest business buying ads in a sufficient amount? Or is it that YouTube just makes more on the scams?

> The idea was that you didn't want young kids opening the driver side door and stepping out into traffic.

I always heard that was sort of a retroactive justification, and the real reason is that a driver's side sliding door would have interfered with the fuel filler. The second-generation Chrysler minivans solved that problem by introducing a mechanical interlock, so that you couldn't open the driver's side slider while the fuel door was opened.

That's the whole philosophy of spaceX and explicitly starship though, right? I mean they literally lauched a water tank up 100 feet and hovered it back down as a demo, then immediately scrapped it and proceeded to build 27 Starships, when not a single one has reached orbit.

It's sort of like the PC User Groups that were more or less rendered redundant by the internet.

There were great door prizes, too. The internet came and there just wasn't a need for that anymore. It's kind of a shame, though, just because it felt like a real community thing.

That would be "lock up publicly problematic addicts" not "addicts" in general.

The aforementioned "functioning, respected and powerful people" are able to conceal or internalize the cost of their problems and aren't usually a problem for the public at large.

With that in mind, the problem is really just being persistently a public danger/nuisance. The only relevance of addiction to this is that addicts are frequently unresponsive to incentives that would be sufficient for non-addicts.

You should remove "Mac" from your article, sans to where you first found this issue out and what the Apple-specific nomenclature is.

This is simply a Bluetooth issue and why Bluetooth is bad if you care about audio quality.
Bluetooth is eternally frustrating, to varying degrees and in different ways in every platform. There are few pieces of tech that I hate as much.

Whenever I marvel at the amazing tech we have, I remember that this remarkable culture chose to inflict Bluetooth on itself.

I have never met anyone who has become an opioid addict because they thought it was a cool and fun thing to do. Every single one of them has been because they had gotten addicted when on prescribed medication or because their lot in life had gotten so terrible that they needed an escape far greater than alcohol to cope with it.

My understanding is that the science aligns with my anecdotal experience, e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5846593/

> YouTube does not have the scale to manually review every time someone flags an ad. HN community believes that “oh, but MY report is high signal” which may be true, but user reports as a whole are not high signal. So instead it’s going through some ML classifier first.

So what? Youtube is trying to do the online equivalent of trying to police New York City with only 50 cops and a 911 answering machine that repeats "computer says no" on a loop.

If New York City chooses to understaff their 911 call center, that's not an excuse for them not taking 911 calls.

Separating safe C/C++ from everyday C/C++ is not fair, in my opinion, but I get your point: If it can be abused it will be, either by accident, inexperience, or maliciousness.

Once you separate C/C++ into safe and unsafe cateogries, and admit that Rust has unsafe uses that are "just so much harder to use", we're clearly defining a gradient:

C/C++, safer C/C++ subset or maybe Unsafe Rust, safer Rust, ...

One weird thing I noticed awhile back:

If I'm using my bluetooth headphones on zoom, the audio quality is kinda bad. But if I plug in my USB microphone, it immediately gets significantly better - like going from AM radio to FM radio.

I guess this article explains why!
I remember circa 2005 that E3 seemed to be on its last legs? Maybe it paused for a couple years. Particularly, in English class, there was some prompt (possibly involving time travel) where my answer was "It would be cool to go to E3 in 2020" or something like that, and the student teacher dude thought it was a cool idea and explained E3 to the class...

I haven't paid any attention to E3 since then, though! (I also just never tried to keep up with playing the latest games, either.)
And just because a TOS says something doesn't mean it will necessarily hold up in court. They aren't law.
Yeah, I had that in mind when this idea jumped unbidden into my head.

With something less blindlingly stupid than brainfuck, it's a legitimately interesting architecture. I fear between CPUs, GPUs, and the fact that apparently we're going straight to custom hardware for neural nets, there isn't a niche for this in our world. But there certainly is a parallel universe in which we went down this road instead starting circa the late 1970s, and in that universe it is the GPUs and custom neural net architectures that are facing the uphill battle because while they may be better at their task than the 2048 "conventional" CPU systems in that world, they have a hard time being better enough to justify the investment.
Perhaps such an app is useful, but I've actually found the macOS behaviour desirable. I get good quality unless the mic is used, which I only do deliberately.

The Windows behaviour is what really annoys me. When the mic is used, the headphones switch profile. But Windows continues to send output to the audio device for the other profile, which means you get no sound at all. You have to manually change the audio output device every time the mic is used to be able to have audio.
Yes, from the perspective of any user/consumer of the service. But since they are facing litigation, any lawyer will tell you that keeping your mouth shut until the action is adjudicated is THE best course of action, regardless of what some politicians and corporations may do these days.

The only other thing that they could say would be "We do not comment on matters involving pending litigation." But that's just a longer way of saying "No comment." It's not any more satisfying for the customers or partners understandably seeking answers to what happened, how, and why.
> WhatsApp is by far the most popular option overall and in Europe too. Facebook Messenger and WeChat are also popular.

And Discord, and Telegram. Aggregate averages are not useful because they mask a lot of very different situations. Even at the country level, just look at this map for example: https://www.similarweb.com/blog/research/market-research/wor... . And even this map obscures a lot: it does not show social effects, and it only shows the most dominant platform without telling how popular the others are. In these discussions you see a lot of people parroting anecdotes as if they were statistically significant. This is really unhelpful.

> iMessage is only used in the US.

This is factually false, for example. Loads of people use it in Europe as well, even though it might not be the case in your social circles. It is not dominant anywhere, but that includes the US. Looking here for example: https://engage.sinch.com/blog/most-popular-messaging-apps-in... iMessage usage varies from ~10% to ~35% depending on countries (with a lot of countries missing). That’s quite a few million people using it at the very least.

Again, asserting anecdotes that way is really unhelpful.

I live in a building built in the 40s near Chicago and I've done a lot of work that exposed various parts of the underlying structure, and the history you describe is all over the place. The dimensional lumber in the walls and floors/ceilings are widely varied and rough, not planed to anything too terribly specific. To add further injury built on sand because we're on a dune by the beach, Which as you can imagine means things are never square or plumb :-)

I recently realized that the steel beams in the ceiling of the bar (building used to be a bar/restaurant/inn) are actually old railroad ties or something. Chicago industry baby! :-D

From Text to Motion: Grounding GPT-4 in a Humanoid Robot "Alter3"
The language in this blog post is overblown to say the least.

"groundbreaking", "outshines its competitors", "remarkable", "pivotal transformation"

Totally unnecessary bravado.
The blog post discusses this. They have two modes - one for bidirectional audio (headset mode) where the bitrate is reduced significantly - and one for regular audio. It is made worse by the fact that sometimes the higher quality codecs are not used ie aptx.
I don't think it's accurate that there is "no way" to "prevent your mac from using the headphone's microphone." There are several workarounds like creating an Aggregate Audio Device in Audio MIDI Setup [0] or disabling HFP [1]. I wish you success with your paid utility though.
