My first thought on reading "cybersecurity regulations" was whether this was going to be the EU at the root cause again. The legislation mentioned in the article seems to be 2x EU instruments.

The problem here seems to be fear over how EU legislators and judges will interpret CVEs more than anything the kernel is doing. Looks like a complex and legally risky situation; good luck to the EU devs, hope it stays as a theoretical concern. I imagine common sense will prevail and the law will be interpreted the sensible way.
In addition, especially for smaller teams, there is huge value in teams that can easily go between front-end and back-end code.

Before I worked at an "all Typescript" shop, lots of times someone on the front end would need some small additional piece of data or an extra API call from the server team. They almost never did it themselves, and it wasn't so much that they couldn't read/code in Java, it's that the environment setups were so different. It just was rarely worth it to them to spend all the time setting up the backend environment (again, in a language they could understand but weren't "used to" in their day-to-day) to make a couple line change. Worse, some enterprising folks would set it up, but then since they only needed to make backend changes once in a blue moon, the next time they needed to make a change they'd have to spend a ton of time again getting their environment updated.

There is huge value to using the same language, and coding environments, across front and back ends.
You could say their style almost stereotypically and to a comical level reflected their environment, race, personality and occupation which was as polar opposite from each other as you can be: Central European introverted Jewish actuary vs Latin American extroverted leftest journalist writing satirical columns.

But their imagination certainly seemed to come from the same place as many who read them noticed without even being aware that one influenced the other.
> Within weeks of the theft starting, prosecutors say, Ding was offered the position of chief technology officer at an early-stage technology company in China that touted its use of AI technology and that offered him a monthly salary of about $14,800, plus an annual bonus and company stock. The indictment says Ding traveled to China and participated in investor meetings at the company and sought to raise capital for it.

> He also separately founded and served as chief executive of a China-based startup company that aspired to train “large AI models powered by supercomputing chips,” the indictment said.

They likely did... he did these things after joining Google as a junior employee.

Hey! My name is Marcus and I am junior software engineer looking for backend and full-stack opportunities. I graduated from Columbia University with a bachelors in Computer Science in May 2023 and was working at Twitch as a full-time SWE before being affected by the 35% reduction in force in January.

I have always had a keen interest in AI and would love to work on the backend/infra projects that support that type of software. For example, during my internship at Twitch, I built an API that used a variety of ML services to flag inappropriate media on Twitch/AWS livestreams in near real time. I also have experience working with ads and monetization; my work as a full-time engineer at Twitch was dedicated to managing GDPR compliance and obfuscating sensitive user PII data across Twitch Payments' data stores.
I don't doubt that at all. But that's turned into way too many creators using it as the default expression in every thumbnail. I remember visiting a true crime channel and all their videos had the same face....
Using a massive context window is akin to onboarding a new employee before every mundane task performed. While a trained employee will take new task easily with existing context.

The trade off is simply cost. The cost remains in the LLM scene with regards to speed of execution and token cost.
Was it really that pronounced? On paper it’s 3.3s vs 2secs 0-100 right?
That is a little overly cynical, but from not knowing the whole story.

The dod has been trying to get away from IBM (!) since before they sold their fabs to glofo. Intel has in fact resisted making defense chips because they are not profitable like commercial endeavors. But the (dod's) need for advanced processes which only Intel has (in the us) and the funding from the chips act is finally enough.
To be fair, there is one aspect where the platform is trusted with services like Signal and WhatsApp: Identity to phone number binding.

Many people don't actually ever verify their contacts' keys, but rather just rely on the platform provider to have done phone number verification correctly. In that sense, the security model is bit better than TOFU in practice.

In this specific case the authors state of mind is important to consider. Being far along in dementia his will and thoughts are not necessarily reliably indicative of their unimpaired will and thoughts. His children struggled with his instructions and as they reflected over a non trivial period of time and reread the work they felt he had made a mistake, which is plausible given advanced dementia, and falls within the realm of their judgement as his caretaker. I think this is an entirely legitimate decision on their part, and not really up to us to second guess.

There’s also the point parallel comments make that public figures private works are often of general interest. The will and desires of the deceased carry weight - but it decreases over time as they are in fact dead. If we found Julius Caesar’s private diary with admonitions to not read it, would we honor that?
Of course not. However there should certainly be a risk assessment with regards to citizens of foreign countries known to steal IP or otherwise perform hostile actions.
I'm still waiting for coilgun artillery to take off.

No need for charges to fire, rail itself can be relatively unprecise, as long as the shell head can glide bomb the flight trajectory to target.

Rest of the shell body could be a small distribution charge and some vacuum compressed peeble.

Or just do away with traditional artillery altogether and electrically gun up small gun cotton glider drones, that circle above target areas until they receive a drop and kill order.

My highschool IT set up shares for each classroom/year (i.e. "Mrs. Beck 4th Hour 2001") and would moderate it's contents during the school year, but all previous years were just kept around for archival reasons but completely ignored.

They would configure our user shares to have all our classes automatically added for easy access, but you could manually add any other class or year.

This was back before phones or laptops were common in classrooms and everyone would bring games from home to contribute via flash drives or micro USB and also to sneak their bounty back home at the end of the day. A true sneakernet.

I don't have a strong opinion on Kunreisiki; when I first came across it I thought 'this looks needlessly complicated' and just assumed it was old and outmoded so basically I've always ignored it.

I only learned about the history of Romanization and took a more rigorous interest in the language years later.

That's true. It's a critical thinking test. Some people will pass, many will fail. And another nail in the coffin containing the credibility of the media. It wouldn't have been newsworthy unless it were a Boeing plane.

It is cultural human hubris to bother, in any way whatsoever, to be worried about the sun burning out. It’s an interesting curiosity but we your life, if you lived to be 2000 years old (you won’t), you will have moved yourself 0.0000571428% closer to the time when that will happen. We DO need to actually be worried about our planet overheating, our agricultural spaces becoming despoiled, and other things that can actually happen in our lives. One of these things is not like the other.

Oh, don't you worry. I totally agree with you. Freedom is perhaps the most important thing in the world. I don't want people making choices for myself or others. Complete freedom - of thoughts, of speech, of actions. (But consequences for those that abuse it - murder, etc.)

That said, I still really miss the world before all of this happened. Our world has never been the same since smartphones arrived.

We'll never be able to go back to the way things were before. That world is dead forever, and nobody -- not me, not you -- will ever be able to bring it back. Doesn't stop me from wishing it would all go away occasionally. At the same time, I'd never be willing to give up what we have now.

It's a complicated feeling.

>I'm not sure if you're equating Islam with hatred of the USA

I don't know where people are getting this. I'm equating Islam and Judaism with hatred of each other. It's what religions do. We have two effective countries, each one basically a theocracy (less so on the Israeli side, but the fact is, it was founded to be a Jewish state), and their religions are incompatible.

>And out of these horrors came international agreement on what actions are allowed during wartime, with the aim of ensuring such atrocities weren't repeated.

Sure, and the nation-building successes that came after those horrors have never been repeated.
I think Hegel (not sure) commented that the next century would be that of the USA and Russia on his deathbed (i.e. early 1800s) or something to that effect
If that's your assumption, I've got bad news: People can already use third-party clients! WhatsApp "mods" for Android, third-party clients hooking into the web client etc. have all long been possible.

Without the DMA, Meta can make it very hard for any business model based on them, but it's never been a technical obstacle.

In a very similar way, you also need to trust your friends to not activate WhatsApp chat backups to Google Drive or iCloud without a password if you don't want end-to-end encryption to be compromised (there's no indication if they have it on or not), and that's the default suggestion by the official client.

Sadly, the main point this post reinforces is the emptiness of modern credentialing.

Show HN: Manta – A tool for FPGA Debugging and Rapid Prototyping
Hi HN! I'm Fischer, and I'm super stoked to share a project that I've been working on for a little over a year: Manta, an open-source, cross-platform, vendor-independent tool for debugging and rapid prototyping with FPGAs.

This was originally my Master's Thesis at MIT, where I developed it for our course on FPGA design. We needed an alternative to vendor debugging tools, which only supported x86 machines running Windows or Linux. We were able to patch in macOS support with VMs, but as more students came bringing ARM-based devices, we needed a new tool.

So I developed this. It's called Manta, and I've just released v1.0.0. It's written in Python using Amaranth HDL, which allows it to run on nearly any machine, and export vendor-agnostic Verilog-2001. It lets you read and write to arbitrary registers and memory on the FPGA, and provides an integrated logic analyzer. It's modular, so you can use any number of these functionalities in any combination, as long as you've got a UART or Ethernet connection to the FPGA.

Next up on the docket is adding support for more advanced interfaces like Wishbone, AXI, AHB, and Avalon. And maybe even adding a Web UI for debugging with a logic analyzer in the browser. Or peeking and poking at individual registers. Or issuing arbitrary AHB3 transactions.

I'd be super curious to hear your thoughts on the tool! And if you want to kick the tires, be my guest :)

Well, that doesn't delete all local data. That's exactly the problem!
Software implementations can and do differ (even dynamically) based on the hardware though - e.g. glibc's sin(x) function, what C code will end up using (if not other languages relying on the C stdlib), uses FMA instructions on my CPU, and thus the exact same binary on the exact same OS with the exact same glibc should behave differently on a very old CPU without FMA where it should have a different implementation (as generally things using FMA cannot be exactly ported to hardware without it without a gigantic drop in performance which'd be extremely unacceptable).
