I’m not sure how this shifts blame? In my opinion the blame sits squarely on the shoulders of the entity whose systems were exploited. Microsoft is responsible for the security of their systems, full stop. Doesn’t matter if the GRU did it or some random guy in Venezuela.

How do you know Microsoft was even “hacked”? I mean if you want to get super pedantic about this, I haven’t personally seen any proof.

So yes while a computer provides a convenient mathematical abstraction upon which we can reason, we aren’t talking about how a computer boots. We are talking about figuring out - within a certain confidence level - the group of individuals that likely carried out an attack. We are now firmly outside the scope of the neat little mathematical abstraction of the machine. Even within a machine, there’s more nondeterminism than you or I would like to admit. But that’s a topic for another day.

The methodology is not secret, you can google for threat actor attribution. Private companies do this work as well as governments. You are welcome to go join one of those companies or organizations to learn how it works and work to improve the process if you are so passionate about it!

You are the one putting some political agenda on this. China, Russia, as well as North Korea, Israel, Iran, and many other countries have robust offensive cyber capabilities. Attribution is not an exact science, and if you actually read any raw intelligence report it is clearly marked with a confidence level for that exact reason.

Where do you get that idea? The M1 Air was already more than enough for all my web dev needs. I have lots of docker containers running all the time and I don't notice anything.

The person I know who exhibits this pattern the most is constantly trying to get the people around him to buy the same things he has bought, because it validates the decision. I consistently regret buying things on his recommendation. I think he tries hardest to recommend the worst ones because they're the biggest sources of regret.

He's otherwise an amazing friend though. The earnestness that makes him a sucker for limited edition scotch comes out in other nicer ways too.

Back in 2005-10 era, we used to use stuff like XMLBeans to define an entire, consistent domain model include type constraints (enums, valid integer ranges, regex) in XML and generate code at build-time that we never had to look at. The XSD made sure it would be valid. So many years into the future and things are just worse than that.
It seems The Macbook is not for you.
It's more the reverse of that implication. E.g. 2 years from now a 64 bit only STM chip could well be released instead of a hybrid 32 bit and 64 bit that also is fully 32 bit compatible. That's not really a problem on backwards-compatibility focused x86 where ~20 years after AMD64 the newly launched 7950X still supports booting ~30 year old 16 bit MS-DOS (and maybe older, I haven't tried).
> Have you given any kind of training or lessons in programming (honest question)? Everything can break down!

I have actually, so I understand what you mean, that all sorts of confusions are possible no matter what. I agree with you on that part; I just disagree that the “boxes” metaphor is something that is necessary or “needed later” (what I understood from the wording “This method spares the reader one step, but might cause confusion once they face problems that require that understanding” or “breaks down”).

Yes, the student needs to understand that “let b = a” assigns to b the value of a, and does not make b a permanent alias for a. To some students that misconception may never arise, but to others it might and that is something to watch out for. (This is the part explained here for instance: https://nedbatchelder.com/text/names1.html#:~:text=I%E2%80%9... — sorry if you cannot see the highlighted part e.g. if you're using Firefox (https://caniuse.com/url-scroll-to-text-fragment), look before and after "Reassigning one of them".) But if you explain this as “the a box contains 22” and “the b box also contains 22”, this is an understanding that only applies to primitive values and therefore will break down pretty soon and cause confusion (given how widely non-primitive values are used in JS/Python/etc), while if you say that “let b = a” makes the “b tentacle” point to the value that the “a tentacle” points to, this is a uniform understanding that bypasses the incomplete “boxes” understanding. With the understanding that names are one kind of thing and values are another, and names can only point to values (not to other names), there is no problem with “the same value” being interpreted as literally the same: it is literally the same value (a Platonic ideal “22” that lives out there and that both a and b point to), and a re-assignment like a = 23 does not change the value (the notion of changing a value would not even arise without the boxes metaphor, as value 22 and value 23 are simply different things on the values side).

But I guess ultimately this is an empirical matter: we can try the different paths on different sets of students and over time see which one takes better. My intuition is that the “tentacles” metaphor is just as easy to understand as “boxes” without the latter's problems (there are risks common to both, e.g. "let b = a" neither makes the b tentacle point to a itself, nor does it put the a box inside the b box), but until we actually try it out (I have not tried to compare), I guess we just have different intuitions for now. :-)

This 10 kg turbine is probably the type of thing you'd be looking at if you require diesel fuel: https://fusionflight.com/arc/

It's still more powerful that needed so maybe there's something smaller.

I don’t think the author meant for this to be treated as an absolute, more like food for thought.

And if you really insist on 24/7 comparison, you would come to need about 12 people, as the expected productivity per person is of about 6 hrs/day. Factor in the fact that people need vacations, sick days, weekends off… it looks like 1000 H100 might actually be a good trade-off in the very near future.
Depending on your domain they can make decent developer machines at the 16+GB config.

I have been researching this lately. At the 24GB config it is looking like the M3 air puts down about the same real world CPU performance as my 2019 16” i9 MacBook Pro. For light docker and development use cases these look really compelling to me.
So many words to say "I think handicapped people should pay more for an Uber"
> Sometimes it feels like those with very strong faith inhabit a quite different world to me.

Quite an understatement! I grew up in a hyper-religous secluded community overseas, and it was a huge perspective change to see what life is really like outside the bubble. Everyone around me seemed to truly believe that they were in a struggle against demonic powers for all that is true, good, and holy. We were constantly told if we stopped, the world would be plunged into a hellscape of wickedness and evil. Also that most other humans had literally allied with the devil and were actively trying to stop us.

It's wild to write it out now, but that was just how it was. Teachers, parents, and other friends of mine all "knew" some humans were our active enemies, just like they "knew" that we were on the Right Side. Our side was "righteous".

At 17 I moved to a major city in the US, I quickly realized how much of that was completely fabricated. People are all sometimes evil, just like they are sometimes wonderful, selfless, charitable, honest, and caring. I don't know a single person who has "allied with the devil to cast the world into darkness". Turns out that was just a terrifying fairy tale.
It is a curated collection of their own portfolio looks like. You can see it when doing "view source" on them.
Crystal is close to being my ideal language, but the compile times are really, really bad.

Because of how the type inference works, the compiler cannot (effectively) compile incrementally, which means that any change causes a full compilation. This includes dependencies.

The final straw for me was when the (unofficial) LSP paused some ~30 seconds on every keystroke in a tiny project with one large dependency (Lucky), and the response on the forums was "don't use Crystal for large projects", "I don't think the compiler is slow" and a couple of really good technical explanations of how improving the compile times is almost a pipe dream outside of a major redesign.

I'm salty because the feel-in-hand of Crystal is best in class, but the DX is worst in class and I get the impression that that's not going to change.

In Honda's defense, they've recognized their quality was slipping, and have been moving to fix these issues. Their transmission issues stemmed from the ZF built 9-speed, which has been a problem for every car manufacturer to use it. They've since replaced that unit with their own designed and manufactured 10-speed transmission.

My girlfriend had a 2018 CR-V for 5 years, 0 issues. She sold it back to the dealer for $1500 less than what she paid for it.

I agree with you on interior quality and fit and finish. Hers was perfect inside and out. Body panel gaps were robot perfect. Decent quality materials on the interior, too.

My new Highlander, in comparison, looks like it was assembled by drunk toddlers and its interior is of Hasbro quality materials.
Speaking Intel for a moment, since I don't know all the details for AMD and Apple, their CPUs are nowadays designed to boost until they reach 100C if they weren't already power or frequency limited by then. Intel also provides a 3 year warranty when the CPU is operated to spec, which includes the aforementioned.

AMD does likewise, though their CPUs' thermal limit is 95C from what I know; I assume they have a similar warranty period to Intel.

Apple also seems fit to operate their CPUs like that.

Given all that, I'm going to presume that advances in fabbing tech mean CPUs today tolerate high temperatures better than ones from yesteryear.
You sound like exactly the sort of person who would be pissed to pay more for an Uber because you had a disability.
Generally there is misunderstanding of these markups. JSON came along because the JavaScript people found it convenient and more network-efficient (the irony being it's not really). But a million years later followed the schema-validation logic to back-fill deficiencies.

In my opinion, one should go for XML when writing a portable document format of any variety to allow a vast array of schema validators, linters, and so-forth. This makes writing plugins which target a given schema much more portable and easier to write.

It's kind of ridiculous how many times web folks reinvent the wheel. Seriously, get rid of YAML, TOML, JSON. We already had INI, XML/XPATH/XSD.

There's nothing wrong with XML, people are just lazy and so is JSON. It's the lazy, sloppy cousin of XML which was a well-thought-out standard to fill a deficiency in HTML for data.

Honestly though, we should be using something like this:

No, sorry, I meant it was so fragile, it no longer exists— I bumped it off my coffee table and the screen shattered (fell 18" to a hardwood floor).

I balked at spending over $700 to replace the screen. It definitely was leaps and bounds more performant than my 2012. I also hated the lack of MagSafe.

I usually baby my computers, but I did accidentally step on my 2012 MacBook Air when I was in college (I had placed it on stairs while doing a photo shoot with some classmates). It was fine.

My 2012 can't receive macOS and Adobe upgrades, but my partner is happily using it for basic browsing and photo editing.

My question is -- why was a prison laptop on sale on Ebay in the first place? If they're soooooo concerned about security, maybe don't have these out in the wild?

I'm betting a prison employee stole that from work and sold it on the sly to make an extra few hundred bucks. Probably breaks some rules, no?
Yeah, fair point.

I wonder if you could do it with a coin, and flip the coin after the decision was made? I think that reintroduce risk and regret, but remove trust.

Yes, British politics has been on an absolute roll for entertainment the last few years for anyone not effected by it, but that said, you can never accuse the Brits of ever, ever, losing their own sense of humour about it (Economist & the Liz Truss lettuce comment stands as an absolute masterpiece). And I quite enjoy listening to German news here describing Uk politics in a far more truthful - and expletive-laden - way than the UK press can ("complete fucking shitshow" as one German newscaster labelled it).

Haven't been able to get into German politics in quite the same way, mainly due to my rage against the current hypocrisy, but as my German improves, maybe I'll understand it better.
> Can dark matter and [the author's theory of gravitation] fit together...?

Nobody knows yet. The authors aren't seeking to overthrow the concordance cosmology; this paper is essentially trying to see if their theory is quickly killed by being unable to model a stable spherically symmetric galaxy in an expanding universe. Their theory predicts significant differences from the Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) metric in General Relativity, with SdS serving as a proxy for an isolated galaxy. The paper in part investigates whether those differences can be "hidden" by removing the cold dark matter which otherwise would be the standard source of outer orbit anomalies.

They don't go deeper than that, and at this stage just can't: "To make it tractable analytically, we have restricted ourselves to spherically symmetric and static spacetimes". They restrict themselves in other ways too.

> The evidence for dark matter

From just after Eqn (23) in the preprint:

"While this study demonstrates that galactic rotation curves can undergo modification due to stochastic fluctuations, a phenomenon attributed to dark matter, it is important to acknowledge the existence of separate, independent evidence supporting ΛCDM. In particular, in the CMB power spectrum, in gravitational lensing, in the necessity of dark matter for structure formation, and in a varied collection of other methods used to estimate the mass in galaxies"
At my last company we had billions of lines of logs to go through every day. Most logs were in an ELB (Elastic Load Balancer; basically each log was a set of HTTP headers and GET params) format which were dumped to S3. We then used Athena queries to build a timeline of events as they passed through our various microservices. The benefit of Athena is that it's insanely fast to mount on top of S3 logs since it's AWS->AWS and you don't have to download hundreds of megabytes of logs to do your queries
Great idea, love the style of the app and the website!
My reading of this was that the fourth dimension was time. First, a loose dress is 3D-knit; then, when the owner buys it, it's possible to apply heat to cause parts of the fabric to tighten up, overall making a bespoke fit without significant manual labour.
This has been my experience. My 15" M2 Air has never gone off the deep end on these tasks. Cool and quiet during streaming and heavy multitasking.

Nobody is ever secure in their particular job, but white collar workers used to be secure in the economy. Now, AI threatens to upend a lot of white collar work without creating any new kinds of jobs to replace them. Anybody who says that AI will create more jobs than it replaces is just divining the future based on the impact of totally unrelated technologies (steam engine, electric motors) on the economy hundreds of years ago

In reality, however, what In-Q-Tel represents is a dangerous blurring of the lines between the public and private sectors in a way that makes it difficult to tell where the American intelligence community ends and the IT sector begins.

Not sure if you’re aware of this (and if you’d be comfortable doing it, considering the risk), but delidding the 7000 Ryzen’s and applying Liquid Metal cooling paste drops average temperatures by ~20°C (!). Remember to apply to both the cooler and the CPU.

This is because the Internal Heat Spreader for 7000 series was made primarily with cooler height compatibility in mind. It’s compatible with all previous (aftermarket) AMD coolers, but because the chips are lower height they had to make the IHS thicker which lowers the velocity of heat transfer.
