The Personation of John Suckling, 1635
> Decade old Backdoors no

I really doubt it's a backdoor after reading the blog post and this thread chain from a prolific M1 MacBook hacker (macran) I think it was just an unused or very rarely used feature that was left enabled by accident.

Some choice quotes.

First, yeah, the dbgwrap stuff makes perfect sense. I knew about it for the main CPUs, makes perfect sense it'd exist for the ASCs too. Someone had a lightbulb moment. We might even be able to use some of those tricks for debugging stuff ourselves :)

Second, that "hash" is almost certainly not a hash. It's an ECC code*. I bet this is a cache RAM debug register, and it's writing directly to the raw cache memory array, including the ECC bits, so it has to manually calculate them (yes, caches in Apple SoCs have ECC, I know at least AMCC does and there's no reason to think GPU/ASC caches wouldn't too). The "sbox" is just the order of the input bits to the ECC generator, and the algorithm is a textbook ECC code. I don't know why it's somewhat interestingly shuffled like that, but I bet there's a hardware reason (I think for some of these things they'll even let the hardware synthesis shuffle the bits to whatever happens to be physically optimal, and that's why you won't find the same table anywhere else).
> if you wanted to start your own stackoverflow competitor for whatever reason, you would have a very hard time getting any traction. this is also true of current general purpose engines, but you still do stand a chance to be referenced well and hit high enough to still get traffic

Hmm... You started to backpedal but then persisted. In the today world, your SO competitor would have that (slim) chance to rank if you started getting links from sites like HN or from people on Twitter who matter and know about tech. This would give you some PageRank and then you'd start possibly ranking in Google (in theory. In reality, no you probably wouldn't rank for anything since you're competing with 1,000,000 spam sites including whole verbatim clones of every page on SO that Google can't even get under control)

If any directory would be worth using, it would be run by humans who would HAVE to look at each submission. They could also look at who's linking to it, and evaluate "Is this a backlink from like, a gibberish page on `prawns-01-blork.info` or from like, Joel Spolsky's Twitter account?" Yes, it would take a lot of work, but like, it would be creating a truly useful product that people might pay for. And we have examples of other professions where "just rubber stamp everyone who pays" is frowned upon, like building inspectors and journalists. It's a hard problem, but it's far from hopeless.
> The US should definitely adopt this principle.

It does, in some ways? Your business can't discriminate based on protected characteristics, like race.
It is possible to run the game in a Euclidean hex grid and compare. For example:

* In Euclidean open space, if you are attacked by two adjacent monsters at once, you cannot escape, because the monsters would just move in parallel lines. In hyperbolic, you can, because parallel lines do not work.

* In Euclidean open space, if you are ambushed by many (say, 12) monsters on all sides, you cannot escape. In hyperbolic, you can. There is always more directions than it seems.

There is a land Hunting Grounds which teaches the tactics above. It simply does not work in Euclidean mode. There is also this article: http://zenorogue.blogspot.com/2012/03/hyperbolic-geometry-in...
Now I no longer need to wonder who Rem is.
Have you looked at that game and the code? Its garbage. https://blastar-1984.appspot.com/

I knew guys in the 90s in high school who were writing exploits and cracking major software. For a layperson who isn’t a dev and didn’t run in those circles, it might seem impressive for a kid, but not for any of the kids I knew. Any kid with a basic understanding of programming could copy the code from a computer magazine line by line and edit it slightly . And just because he wrote it at 12 doesn’t mean he has actual coding skills as an adult, he has even said so himself he is not a “hardcore coder”. Considering there are kids like Mike Wimmer who were taking uni level robotics courses at 12, Elon is incredibly mediocre in comparison and only a simp would believe he was some kind of prodigy.

After all, we are talking about a guy who asked his engineers to print out code to show him to prove how productive they were, and who could not explain Twitter’s craaaaazy stack without telling off an actual dev. Who the F thinks the more lines of code you write the more productive you are? How deeply embarrassing.
oh thanks! i generally use lua 5.1, because that's what minetest and luajit use, and lua 5.1 doesn't have goto. though i see luajit has added it!
It is also a Generation II reactor (like the Chernobyl and Fukushima reactors)
The fact that he highlighted multiple products purchased from Target is interesting. Is he unaware that Target is a discount chain? You're accepting a higher risk of a defective product by shopping there. If the product is garbage you return it. If you want a better guarantee than that you shop at a better store and pay for it.
Is there a reason you think most updates would even want to blow e-fuses, let alone need to?

And how many are there, then?
How else would it work?
I’m pretty sure there is still a copyright also for the physical newspaper.

Thinkpads are not cheap hardware.

If you’ve got a MacBook Pro budget you can buy 2 prev gen Thinkpads. Have the 2nd as a backup. I have a 7 year old Thinkpad as a backup and it’s great, more than good enough to last while main laptop is fixed or replaced. Was even able to upgrade RAM and storage vs everything is soldered on the mainboard like it’s on MacBooks.

Or buy latest gen thinkpad with 3 year warranty and optional on-site repair.

Really depends on what your needs are.
Same for me in suburbs in the 90s/2000s. Never saw anything other than millipedes (which are also gross). Now in San Diego and every time I go to little Italy I wish I wasn’t wearing sandals because so many of the big ones scatter across the street (why can’t the city do more to get rid of these?)
"The tool is designed to enable both technical and non-technical analysts to manipulate data in complex ways without having to deal with complex tools or algorithms."

Italics added; might be worthwhile pedagogically to actually teach these "complex" tools and algorithms instead. That said, the tool looks actually quite nice.
The real quality in the audio market is the professional side - for studio usage.

They do use internally amplified speakers however. Separate amps is an inferior design due to matching and crossover issues.
I really wanted this to go more into how the poison works, and contrast it with previous solutions, maybe talk about those as well. If the roaches no longer like sweet, can we flavor it like something else?

Instead it was talking about how roaches make the hosts feel in their presence and then absense, and how they feel about the Combat inventor’s perceived sleight.
Thanks! We found each other without any problem. My friend was a bit miffed that I seemed to think that he would get lost. Otherwise we had a pleasant lunch.

Later, I walked through Shinjuku and Kabukicho up to Shin Okubo to see how the city had changed. It was good to see that the Shin Okubo area is still as multiethnic and ungentrified as it was twenty years ago. A couple of backstreet one-person coffee shops I used to frequent were still there, though closed for the New Year's holiday.
> CRA will force many small enterprises and most probably all self employed developers out of business because they simply cannot fulfill the requirements imposed by CRA.

Isn't that the idea? If you can't innovate, litigate - see regulatory capture [1].

We hold the power, not the EU. Debian, FOSS developers, and small businesses world-wide should block EU IP addresses. No more Linux, no more Python, no more nothing. When the EU's digital infrastructure begins crumbling they'll change their tune.

A directory wouldn't be there to exclude anyone actually producing content of worth. It would serve as a gatekeeper to keep out plagiarism, spam, and utter trash. And people could create networks of sites based on their own real-world webs of trust, which vouch for one another.

Personally I'd rather see a standard which allowed you to add as many directories as you wanted to what your search engine would metasearch across. This also avoids the political problem of "who decides what's trash" -- if you want to add a directory whose main deal is they'll add literally any site, you could. If you want to only add directories which don't allow any <insert hated party> leaning content, you could do that.
Interesting, I suppose I overlooked the fact that they're indeed separate modalities, I suppose it's because most of my reading originates at the beginning of the historical record. It's not something I had explicitly considered, though I do recall one instance mentioned in Dawn of Everything.

Do you have any reading that you'd suggest on the topic?

The cooling system is also proprietary to HPE. Not saying that other vendors don't offer their own liquid cooling systems.
If literally true as you have written it up, it's pretty stupid; e.g. a brick-and-mortar store should be able to ban someone who shoplifts, or harasses staff or customers.
"They" also include the people working there. Why someone work with full time writing articles should give the work for free just let someone to train it and make money out of it as a consequence?
I would not expect RR to be particularly high quality, due to:

1. Small production batches,

2. Low typical usage - most RR owners do not use it to commute on a daily basis, hence do not face high reliability requirements,

3. The ability of the typical buyer to overspend on maintenance, whether preemptively or on-demand.
He’s as technical as a middle manager with an MBA at a tech company might be, but barely impressive otherwise. Compare that to someone like Zuckerberg, who I cannot stand, it’s laughable in comparison. He doesn’t have any advanced degrees and hasn’t designed anything without help from actual, world class engineers and devs. No doubt he knows PR and hires really talented people. He went to school for business, and his physics degree is total BS, also you realize that official biographies are sanctioned by the subject and are made to paint him as an adult, his business acumen, etc in the best possible light?
Messaging _FIRST_ Disney and Pixar stuff has had _a_ message for a long time. Before they didn't feel the need to tackle every single issue from LGBTQIA+ representation to racism in a single movie. They just focused on the environment.

It's hard to say - depends on what will Sutskever do, probably? (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38579227)
Yes. We've moved (most) comments to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38784994 and re-upped that instead, since it has more specific information.
How much of it is confirmation bias? Pens, I use various Uni, few $10 fountain pens and my son as 40c fountain pen. All of them work decently well, some break when we drop them or loose the cap but nothing egregious. My wife is using 6 year old Oneplus which give no sign of needing replacement. I have 20 years old toaster. I used my LG washing machine for ~12-13 years before replacing it, same for my AC (>15 years)/fridge (~15 years) etc. Now I have had few bad apples, laptop that was junk in 2 years. AC that kept giving trouble.
Good Python or even PHP is eons better to work with than Bash.
That's why there will be a legalization of the fair use. Just let your intellectual to be used for free training material is not sustainable.

Also remember copyright laws was not there in the first place.
> Considering the computer has to read 40 GB of data from disk, map it to physical memory and then let the CPU has a rip of it

No it doesn't? Maybe it needs to set up page tables for 40GB, but it doesn't need to read the parts you're not using into memory, that's part of the point of memory-mapping like this - it sets up a page fault handler to load the page into memory when accessed, rather than needing to do it all up-front.
I’m not impressed. You know who is impressive? Wozniak, you can’t tell me those guys are even remotely in the same league. Even Jobs and Gates were/are accomplished designers and programmers, Elon is a joke compared to them.

Calling Twitter a “crazy stack” is hilariously laughable, serious junior dev energy, that at the very least he should be able to describe to another dev a) whats crazy about it b) what it looks like from top to bottom without insulting people for asking.
As far as i know, you shouldn't bring your phone near a MRI machine.
I think that would be the case if they were given to the US and other Western intelligence agencies. My scenario requires competition between geopolitical opponents to create an incentive to worry about defense as well.

There's still plenty of manufacturers out there today offering quality products, but in almost every market there are clones and cheap imitations.

> the greatest threat to free software is the proliferation of non-copyleft free software which can be closed down if a company so wishes.

That's BS. First of all, companies have closed down GPL projects, because founding companies require copyright assignments on contributions.

Even the FSF does it, with the purpose of being able to change software to newer versions of the GPL, or to be able to sue for copyright infringement. And in the US at least, it's better if one entity is the copyright owner. But the issue remains thay the FSF could turn most of its GNU software proprietary.

The other reason for why it's BS is that it doesn't actually match reality. See LLVM vs GCC.

The biggest danger is companies releasing software with source-available, under proprietary licenses, using the Free Software / Open Source label for marketing purposes, diluting the meaning, which is otherwise well defined.

Like for example MongoDB and Elasticsearch, which grew due to being FOSS, then switched. And the license doesn't matter if the company has the right to switch, given they own the copyright.

I also predict this message will get "But Amazon" replies. Well, that's what FOSS is. Yes, it does grant Amazon the right to make money off your work. If you don't like it, then don't build FOSS, only to pull a bait and switch. FOSS is a terrible business model, because once a project is FOSS, it becomes part of the commons, and that's by design.
Next thing you know ChatGPT gives you the best way to crank your automobile and take good care of your crinoline.
Precisely.

This tired 'fair use' excuses from AI bros whilst the GPT has reproduced the article text verbatim, word for word and it being monetized without the permission from the copyright holder and source (NYT) is an obvious copyright violation 101. Full stop.

Again, just like Getty v. Stability, this copyright lawsuit will end in a licensing deal. Apple played it smart with their choice with licensing deals to train their GPT [0]. But this time, OpenAI knew they could get a license to train on NYT articles but chose not to.

I think a washer died around 35 years ago and her current washer is 35 years old. It seems improbable that so many 40+ year old appliances survived in one home if reliability rates or ease of repair were not significantly better in the past.
Given that the entire linear chain of comparisons (therefore, every instruction) needs to be evaluated for 2^32-1, it would indeed need to read and execute the entire 40GB file.

The fact that it does so by faulting in each page before instructions in it can be executed doesn’t materially avoid having to read every byte.

Clearly the author should have checked the larger numbers first to prevent this (:
Qbitmap's A.I. Engine can reach a processing speed of approx. 4fps at 1280x720 resolution with the NVIDIA RTX 4090
No , or at least it’s not the full picture that this conversation leaves out. iMessage is the just the face of what two iphone users have the ability to do. Your texting, you have a full set of features to communicate with someone without the need to coordinate Do you have X , no Do you have Y. Everyone know’s how to use it because it’s the default.

As you talk more you use more of the native features that are also integrated into imessage, I.e Facetime. No need to download and create an account on Zoom and Skype, It’s a tap away.

You’re together and you need a way to share info , pictures, videos whatever. Not only can you do this via imessage but you can also do it via airdrop. Nice , instant, and easy.

it isn’t just imessage. it’s implicit understand of what it all brings that makes it an option of the American teenager.
>Why someone work with full time writing articles should give the work for free

They are not giving it out "for free", in fact they're being paid by their employer to write these articles. Moreover, the writers themselves stand noth' to gain from their past writings financially as they don't belong to the ownership structure of the business.
Because it's not just summarizing the bare facts. It's a parrot.
Absolutely. Combine it with real-time analysis of your current screen, and you've got a computer that knows the complete history of what you're doing and why. That kind of global analysis could be really useful.
It is funny people are doing SQL everything after the NoSQL hype. But why?

That's not an unreasonable question since most 'file manager' apps on Android can do that.
Question for biologists. How conserved are the genes that overcome antibiotics? If we stopped using them would bacteria lose the genes that provide resistance over time or do they gain that information forever?
> You're right, Leia was a much better character than Rey.

Rey's issue is what's plaguing too many female movie characters today. She had no flaws she had to overcome. She was perfect from the start and didn't have to grow. She had a few training montages in the movie, but that's about it.

In Brave for example, Merida's pride (a flaw) causes her mother to be cursed. She has to learn to accept help from others to grow.

Open source supporters were celebrating Google's use of the Linux kernel in Android, hoping that this would promote it's usage. Android is now a Frankenstein spyware monster that uses mostly proprietary software.
Why We Sleep: a tale of institutional failure
It's inevitable that this question ends up at the supreme court. And the sooner the better IMO. It's clearly fair use. Generative agents will be seen legally as no different than a human artist leveraging the summation of their influences to create a new work.
Yes. Before criticizing an efficient solution merely because it has a cost we must explain why the non market solution is a farce of inefficient security theatre.

Private flights have no security whatsoever. They are also much more climate unfriendly. If commercial becomes more of a headache people will press up towards jetshares...
"We should be expanding our horizons beyond what 1970s programmers found convenient …"

You're right; we should be going back to the Lisp and Smalltalk machines of the 1980's.

In that sense, I've found PowerShell to be something of a letdown. I was hoping for something that was an ergonomic abstraction over NT's primitives (or Linux's) and over the CLR's primitives at the same time, in much the same way that Lisp worked on Lisp machines, but PowerShell is only frustratingly alright at both.

With the deprecation of the ISE, the debugging story is also something that's pulled into question. Is the VS Code extension the place to go now?

I wind up spending more time in F# because the whip-it-upitude story is a little better there, especially with the Jupyter notebook support, and the choice of using the same debugging and development tools I use for the rest of my tech stack is an obvious one.
It is a actual everywhere now, just in a fancier term. When you put CGI in a container then it is called AWS Lambda/Azure Function etc.
hyperbolic space means that as you walk, there is much more space around you than you would have guessed from euclidian geometry; exponentially more space. so space is not a grid, but it is exponentially branching

it's like.. suppose your space is discrete like in this game (if it's continuous it's the same argument basically), if you walk N steps in arbitrary directions in euclidian space, you can be sure you are confined in a N x N square so there are N^2 possible tiles you could be. in hyperbolic space your possibilities are much larger, space grows exponentially so you easily get lost

anyway that's why parallel lines diverge in hyperbolic space: if you have two parallel trajectories that go in the same direction they get further and further apart because as you go, there is more space around each trajectory

this means that unless you retrace your exact steps, it's very very hard to get back to your starting position after you wander for a while. navigation becomes almost impossible and it's not a matter of recognizing landmarks because you may never get to see the same landmarks again

so in this game you are always walking towards new stuff; even if you go back, you won't find the placew you were before

good thing it is procedurally generated then, and it basically doesn't matter much where you are because the game is pretty much the same everywhere (it has biomes but they just determine your enemies and stuff like that)

a game like this but with a plot would be much harder and maybe require some sort of teleport or transport network
When allowed I use a tool called Manic Time that (in the paid version) does this.

It used to be "local by default" but now I think that might be changing to "local if you want".

They have also in the past been a perfect creator of commercial software as far as I know:

- generous free edition

- paid versions work forever with its current feature set

I typically set it to auto delete after 14 days and disallow screenshots from my ordinary browser (because meetings and passwords), Slack and Teams (meetings) etc.
Seems like utter BS, regardless of all these interviews with those nobodies he is posting.
Gotcha.

OpenAI is run by humans as well though.

So the same argument applies.

Those humans have fair use rights as well.
