Major CPU, Software Vendors Impacted by New GhostRace Attack

Having met current and past members of the Bourbaki group, I can say with certainty that the group in general is very much opposed to the whole "new math" trend that (thankfully) fell out of grace. But I guess it's easier to find bogeyman for all of society's problems.
Love Susan Rogers, and the Prince albums she engineered or worked from are standout-brilliant, from Purple Rain to Sign O The Times, but good gracious me are they sonically pretty terrible. I didn't expect much from the 2020 Sign O The Times remaster, and wasn't disappointed: there's not much there to begin with. I mean, fine, it shows just how strong the music was, and you can argue that Prince was too busy to care about sound quality. Indeed he figured that the songs themselves would override those issues, and was correct. Whatever Susan did to help those sessions aside from recording the stuff, it was probably amazing.

But when you compare that album against the live rehearsals, a few weeks after recording was completed, you are left somewhat wanting.

In short, assembly for a given CPU is very nearly one-to-one with the machine language for that CPU. It's not correct to conflate the two, but close enough when speaking informally.
Starship Is in Space
Afaik, when talking about objects large enough that some debris will actually hit the ground, only China intentionally lets their final stage re-enter uncontrolled. Everyone else at least has a plan for controlling re-entry. SpaceX has lost control of some of their Falcon 9 second stages before, but that's the exception not the rule.
Or counterpoint- in my case I was helped at home a good bit with structure. It wasn’t until I was independent at uni that this facade started to fall off, revealing “issues”.
One technical modification: They need engine relight in orbit to work to deliver payloads, otherwise Starship will stay in orbit and they can not test reentry.

I my mind, you should read this from a "work smart, not hard" angle; it's not advice to waste your time. Instead, do things right and do the things that are important to you. Spending a bit more time to find the right thing to do is in nearly all cases a good move.

I know some Linux zealots think that if there's literally ANYTHING preventing a random binary downloaded from DefinitelyNotMalware.com from running, then it's "locked down," but that doesn't make it true. These same people seem to love to describe the Mac environment as a restrictive, nannyware-controlled hellscape, but this, too, is untrue.

The Mac is open, but ships with sensible defaults because MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO BUSINESS RUNNING APPS THAT AREN'T VERIFIED.

Macs ship with an option set in the Privacy & Security pane that limits apps to those from the App store -- but it's a radio button, and the other option is easy to choose ("App store and identified developers").

Yes, this still requires the code be signed, which is a 100% reasonable position in today's world.

And yet: that's not even the end of it. If you do download something from an unsigned source -- either because it's built from source, or because it's from someone who is ideologically opposed to joining the dev program at Apple, or whatever -- all you have to do is right-click the icon and choose to open it. That will save it as an exception, and allow it to be run normally after that point.

See: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from...

At no point do you need to resort to "arcane shell commands" or "extended file system attributes." In fact, literally ALL of this is absolutely easy.

Invoking the shoreline paradox is very interesting, but not quite fitting. To continue the analogy, your task isn't to measure the shoreline length (which cannot be meaningfully done), it's to physically walk it. Walking the shoreline _can_ be done, and someone who's walked it many times in a practical way before would be able to give a reasonable estimate.
On the one hand, leaving the potential for CCP propaganda to reach citizen's eyes can be a threat model for insurgency.

It all depends on the point of view.

I apologize I don't have a good explanation of it at hand! It's a form of the vis-viva equation [0] that's basically a restatement of conservation of energy. It derives the (scalar) speed of an object in a 2-body orbit, at any position within that orbit, as a simple function of their separation distance.

In the form I'm using, I'm using standard parameters of an elliptical orbit: the periapsis (the closest approach to the center of mass of the massive body (which is a focal point of the ellipse which the orbit traces)), apoapsis (farthest distance), and semimajor axis (their arithmetic mean [1]). I'm evaluating the orbital velocity at the highest point, the apoapsis. μ is a short form for the product G*M, the standard gravitational parameter [2] of Earth (which is known to much higher precision than either the universal gravitational constant G, or the mass of the earth M, individually).

The particular orbit I'm applying it to is one whose periapsis is equal to the Earth's radius—an orbit that touches the surface of the Earth. This is the dividing line for orbital / suborbital: a suborbital trajectory is one that (mathematically) goes beneath the Earth's surface.

'The big result was that a majority of students thought the universe was round prior to taking ASTRO 101. Their reasoning varied from appeals to authority (such as “I think I read it somewhere”) to the fact that there are so many round objects in the universe.'

'Students also expressed a lot of skepticism about our ability to measure the curvature of the universe. As one student interviewed stated, “Everything I’ve ever seen about…the shape of the universe was pure speculation.'
Iirc adhd is a neurodevelopmental condition. So if a 5 year old has similar executive function as the average 5yo he’s probably fine. But if a 10 yo has a 7yo’s levels it’s worth looking at. And if this same person has this even later to the point where it affects life in multiple situations it’s a disorder, medically speaking. Also, some people (not all) grow out of adhd in their adulthood as the brain develops.

In regards to "not paying on time", these are friends and family, so it's not like I'm going to go break their kneecaps or anything; if they're a bit short on the payment date we just push it back.

Statements like these are a part of the problem. Of course I believe in your case you maed it in good faith, but it shows how much needs to be done.

One good example is obligatory military service, and the situation of men in Ukraine. While all women can freely escape the war, men have to suffer constant fear.

Also, the article starts with examples from Poland. You may notice there is a 5-year gap in retirement age between men and women while lifespan gap is ca 8 years. That is men, if they manage to retire, would enjoy only 7 years of their retirement while for women it's over 20 years. This is both sad and unfair, for many reasons.

Ok so they could leave Starship in orbit and launch payloads like that. The idea however is to launch payloads WHILE testing reentry and landing. This requires an engine relight in orbit.
Not just a size thing, it's also the cultural hegemony provided by things like Hollywood, big IT companies, explicit cultural exports, etc.

Perhaps we might proclaim all of March to be Biblical Pi Month in solemn remembrance of the declaration made in 1 Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2 that PI = 3.

Also consider a semicircle of diameter D. Here the outside of the semicircle S, is D * PI / 2, so PI = 2 * S / D.

Now instead of a single semicircle, consider two semicircles, each of diameter D/2, stacked on top of each other so their diameters line up to add to D. Each has a outside S/2, so once again PI = 2 * S / D.

Now do it for 4 semicircles each of diameter D/4. Again, PI = 2 * S / D.

Now continue to infinity. Eventually the outsides of the stacked semicircles will, at the limit merge to the diameter. Thus at the limit PI = 2 * S / D = 2 * D/D.

Thus PI = 2. Maybe Pi Month should be February? I will leave that to the religious and mathematically inclined to argue.

I totally get what you mean, and I feel kind of the same but in reverse: When I was young, I was totally making systems like this legacy dumpster thermal experience.

A lot of this stuff is hacked together by young aspiring programmers just finding their footing, often grossly underpaid, and with very little experience or formal training. Which is great, respect the hustle! But not so super when personal data is being handled. Luckily, it kind of looks like they maybe dodged that bullet in this case?

> But for security teams in large enterprises, Chainguard is like manna from heaven. They immediately understand what is really being sold: the elimination of enormous amounts of compulsory toil due to upgrading vulnerable software -- or having to nag other teams to do it.

Explain to me how Chainguard helps with this. Everywhere I've worked, this process has very specific needs depending on the companies internal and regulatory requirements. Chainguard may help with proof of origin/base imaging, but it doesn't do much beyond what container registries and tools like dependabot/snyk/dependency track already provide (not saying they're directly related), which doesn't really reduce that much toil.
I do think that there's sometimes value in reinventing the wheel. Sometimes your goal is to figure out how a wheel works, or you think you have a better design for a wheel, etc.

Yeah the "galaxy brain" move is tell everyone you're Satoshi, take out a bunch of lawsuits in the US to try to enforce copyright of the name, lose them, sue people in the UK who say you aren't Satoshi, lose a few of those lawsuits (and drop the rest), lose $100m in damages in the US to the estate of some other dude, lose this copa lawsuit as well. Along the way every judge says stuff about how you aren't at all credible[1]. Now noone will suspect you're the real Satoshi.

Much better than say just keeping quiet. It's like how stealth jets make a bunch of noise so noone will suspect they want to stay hidden.

Same. My kids were not interested.

When I grew up it was in the days of DOS. You had to configure things and tinker to get stuff to work. You had to dive in and really get to know the command line. It was thrilling to hack around in stuff you didn't write when the result actually works but does something far different than the original authors intended.

The coming generation has none of that. All they know is content on demand, which really means if somebody is not doing the work for them then it need not be done at all. They are blessed if they can actually use a keyboard to type characters as opposed to a touch screen.
