Sounds like a UIUX problem. Sign makers get about half a second to convince a rushed person to pause, between the moment the sign enters their field of view and the moment they're already through the door. If the sign is anything more than a large red STOP symbol and anything more than the words NOT AN EXIT and/or AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY, then I bet most people don't read it. I probably wouldn't, unless I was incredibly bored. Most signs are irrelevant to most readers and we are constantly inundated with them on every door and every hallway wall we walk down. If it was important it would follow internally recognized danger signage UIUX standards. Which usually just means a big symbol. Everything else is just another blurry bakesale announcement that flashed past our face.
Edhat is a long running local site.
This.

Really doesn't matter how long these guys are unprofitable. The Chinese government has its strategic priorities.

If you look at Chinese car companies, many don't even really make much of an effort to sell in other markets. The goal is to own the Chinese market. One, because employment and knock on effect employment. And two, because that's where they're betting the money will be.

They may even be right. But the future may not be all about money. We're entering an era that has the potential to be different than eras that came before.
Thank you. If you wouldn't have explained the background, I totally would've thought that this is just an innocent typo.

(I still think it's like... 60% a typo? don't know)

Anyhow, other people called the CCing of JiaT75 by Lasse suspicious:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39867593

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240320183846.19475-2-lasse.co...

Someone pointed out the "mental health issues" and "some other things"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39868881

https://www.mail-archive.com/xz-devel@tukaani.org/msg00567.h...

Lasse is of course a Nordic name, and the whole project has a finnish name and hosting

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39866902

If I wanted to go rogue and insert a backdoor in a project of mine, I'd probably create a new sockpuppet account and hand over management of the project to them. The above is worringly compatible with this hypothesis.

OTOH, JiaT75 did not reuse the existing hosting provider, but rather switched the site to github.io and uploaded there old tarballs:

https://github.com/tukaani-project/tukaani-project.github.io...

If JiaT75 is an old-timer in the project, wouldn't they have kept using the same hosting infra?

There are also some other grim possibilities: someone forced Lasse to hand over the project (violence or blackmailing? as farfetched as that sounds)... or maybe stole Lasse devices (and identity?) and now Lasse is incapacitated?

Or maybe it's just some other fellow scandinavian who pretended to be chinese and got Lasse's trust. In which case I wish Lasse all the best, and hope they'll be able to clear their name.

Is the same person sockpuppeting Hans Jansen? It's amusing (but unsurprising) that they are using both german-sounding and chinese-sounding identities.

That said, I don't think it's unreasonable to think that Lasse genuinely trusted JiaT75, genuinely believed that the ifunc stuff was reasonable (it probably isn't: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39869538 ) and handed over the project to them.

And at the end of the day, the only thing linking JiaT75 to a nordic identity is a nordic racist joke which could well be a typo. People already checked the timezone of the commits, but I wonder if anyone has already checked the time-of-day of those commits... does it actually match the working hours that a person genuinely living (and sleeping) in China would follow? (of course, that's also easy to manipulate, but maybe they could've slip up)

Anyhow, I guess that security folks at Microsoft and Google (because of JiaT75 email account) are probably going to cooperate with authorities on trying to pin down the identity of JiaT75 (which might not be very useful, depending on where they live).
I think you have series and parallel hybrids backwards. Series hybrids have no mechanical connection between engine and wheels. It's just an EV with a generator wired in.
Is there already a list of distributions that included the affected versions in non-prereelase channels?
It is called cherry picking. People read a news and their/our (limited) focus make the brain to not see the woods from the trees where we need to spend our limited focus to gather more information about the misinformation situation in general.

Again, this is not a Russia endorsement but, for example, it seems that the world is turned off in conflicts such as the war between Israel and Hamas where the focus is extremely narrow.

Guess I'm wrong on that. Makes me a little less doubtful.
The advertisement business model of the internet for so long, 20 years plus, is indeed almost irrelevant now. It will collapse like a house of cards. We are heading into a micropayments future.

Even products or services of the front pages of websites, which are displayed to users and consumers on a higher priority than others, that's irrelevant as well.

Google for the record, didn't want to be reliant on ads for revenue back in 2006 or so, but they failed on the micropayment side. They couldn't achieve less than 0.05$ fee per transaction, which is huge. For micropayments even a thousand times less fee, is probably too much.
Cool, thanks for sticking with me in this! I definitely took it to be that the individual detectors were replicable at the individual level. Guessing that is not claimed and was an assumption in my reading. Certainly fits intuition better.

I suppose all that is left in the intuition busting, is how the probabilities don't add up as expected?
I'm guessing the audio version was added then, I pretty certain there weren't any changes to the article.

You can skip the ntp/systemd-timesyncd/fake-hwclock stuff if you add a RTC/coin battery to the device. The Raspberry Pi 5 has built-in RTC with support for an official battery which costs about five bucks and works well for this. Older devices have aftermarket RTC's with battery backups as well.
Model Y is the best selling car in the world. And one of the safest too.

There’s no accounting for taste, but they clearly didn’t “get it wrong”.

There’s virtually nothing about the Model 3 that was copying some historical ICE car that came before it. The Model 3 Highland is quite stunning IMO.
Most people will have to sync their passwords (generally strong and unique, given that it's for github) to the same device where their MFA token is stored, rendering it (almost) completely moot, but at a significantly higher risk of permanent access loss (depending on what they do with the reset codes, which, if compromised, would also make MFA moot.) (a cookie theft makes it all moot as well.)

The worse part is that people think they're more protected, when they're really not.
More like,

"We lose 4k per car, but the government makes it up for us in volume."

And yes, I know we effectively did the same thing with our subsidies and tax breaks. I'm just stating what's likely going on.
Interestingly, that may actually make the collider-produced neutrinos less dangerous than those from a supernova. I'm not sure how it translates to other types of radiation, but at least for neutron radiation (e.g. cosmic rays) the amount of energy one would absorb peaks and then falls off at higher energies. Not harmless though, just slightly less dangerous.
I for one have never heard of this artist. Sometimes I feel like there's a world of contemporary art that exists entirely apart from the layers of society I am exposed to.
That's correct for property: it's called "adverse possession".
He mentions active probes. Active probes have amplification.

As his link makes clear, your ADC just needs enough resolution to measure the signal when the (amplified) offset voltages don't saturate it.
I'm not capable of this, but I think the idea for many is to get a job that does have responsibilities and expectations, and treat it like a job with minimal responsibilities and expectations.

Exactly the opposite. In a series hybrid, there is no mechanical connection between the engine and the wheels - only an electrical one, with the battery still providing considerable power in most cases, even when it's depleted.

No hybrid ever runs its battery all the way to zero, and series hybrids are no exception. The Chevy Volt (the other notable series hybrid in Western markets) keeps its engine at a near-constant RPM by using the battery to supply torque, even when the battery is "dead." I would expect the MX-30 to do the same.

IME in several thousand miles driving/riding in a Volt, it hums away within a very narrow RPM band unless you hoon it on a dead battery in cold weather. Even then, it's not nearly as wide of a rev band as a conventional hybrid.
Before getting deep in Rabbit holes and paying $1k to fine tune something, consider using OpenAI assistants API. You can experiment with it in the Playground without writing code and that itself might be enough! Or write some code to put your UI over it. Then once you have digested your own dog food you might have a product to sell too!

They did come about, in the late 60s. Williams worked on these to varying degrees of success. One of their designs became quite famous. The F107 powers the BGM-109 Tomahawk and AGM-86 ALCM.

I haven't had an issue with SD cards where Pis had reliable power. Where I used to live though we had frequent power cuts, of only a couple of seconds, a couple of times a day. SD card corruption was a major pain. Even in areas with more reliable power, for a 24/7 on device, occasional power outages have lead me to move away from Pis. Battery backups are, of course, an option, but increase the cost for a reliable and simple system.
Thanks! We've been to the the Great Machipongo Clam Shack a handful of times. We usually only stop for food on the return trip. Maybe we'll give Stingray's a try this time.

Impossible to say since it's impossible to measure corruption in the US without actual practical access to information.
It's more to make the point that "no means no." An act of protest.

(I have written a TOTP implementation myself. I do not have a GH account, and likely never will.)
These Pi* devices have served well running their Debian version for years.

I had a Pi3b run ADS-B (generally RTL-SDR) for many years. Dang though, all with (seemingly) random SD storage failures. Article details seems like it can help.

There are more options now though. Aarch64 ones that use eMMC.

I replaced the Pi3b with a Pine64 Rock64 running FreeBSD 14 booting from eMMC. Simple and just works with all RTL-SDR needs covered.

It's great to have options, both hw and os.

Yeah maybe the shareware, but I'm not sure what the license is on that either.

It's free to play, sure, but is it free to use the assets for whatever you feel like and redistribute on your website? At a guess: no.
To be honest, I probably wouldn't have noticed the comments on the PR if it wasn't for that since my Github notifications are an absolute mess. Thankfully, my employer has been super supportive throughout this :D
This is actually similar to the lore in Raised By Wolves — there's a war between the Mithraic (dominant religion on their planet) and the atheist faction, and the Mithraic are actually far more technologically advanced because their scriptures mysteriously contain precise instructions for wildly advanced technology. Of course that only makes the Mithraic more advanced in the few areas their scriptures happen to talk about, and far less advanced in other areas, because they don't understand the principles and so can't apply them elsewhere, and they don't even know how their own tech works really, so it's an interesting conflict. The whole show is extremely interesting — I really should finish it sometime.
Services may be in a different mount namespace from systemd for sandboxing or other reasons (also means you have to worry about filesystem permissions I suppose). Passing an fd from the parent (systemd) is a nice direct channel between the processes
It plays music and doesn't get in your way. Currently, Spotify:

* Has intermixed music with Podcasts

* Cannot manage a queue properly. Going forward and backward random just plays completely unrelated songs (ran into this one tonight with my kids)

* Displays full-screen pop-up ads

* Randomly fails to play sound, despite showing the song playing

* Completely forgets recently played songs

* Barfs an insane amount of junk at me in the home screen

* An AI DJ that is completely garbage. Playing essentially random junk.

* Emails me a bunch of spam

* Pushes music videos, despite having no interest

* Is completely, 100% useless if you turn explicit mode off (I have young kids)
Note that the xz CLI does not expose all available compression options of the library. E.g. rust release tarballs are xz'd with custom compression settings.
But yeah, zstd is good enough for many uses.
Word is that PHEVs are expensive to build but customers didn't seem to be flocking to them. Traditional buyers didn't see the need to save money on fuel and didn't believe that climate change "stuff". More adventurous buyers were flocking to the new full EV coolness.

I think GM decided that the future was BEV that they would be able to come out strong with EV version of their products and sell them at reasonable prices. With the component shortages and inflation, their price targets became untenable. Then they ran into assembly problems with their battery packs so they couldn't even deliver at any price.

Now they have backtracked and said that they will bring out hybrids (maybe PHEV?). It's not clear which platform they'll use for that. I think that they have an Equinox-sized hybrid in China that they might bring over.

The flailing around EVs vs hybrids and the on again off again story on the Bolt don't make it look like they know what they are doing, sadly.

BTW the Bolt actually has a surprising about of room in it, but even so, its on the small side. Equinox would fit more customers.

Unless you are using an RFID-blocking wallet, I can walk around with a RFID reader and steal your data from your card(s) without you ever knowing. RFID readers are also installed at gas station pumps, and can grab the data from your card.

I'm not advocating for Amazon to have my palm print. I'm simply describing why it is better than current RFID credit cards. Palm print is also better than eye scan or fingerprint scan, as fingerprints are not as unique as once thought (i.e., collisions can happen) and fingerprints have been successfully replicated using AI.
Isn't this mostly negated by the fact that Romania is a sovereign state? If a group was to buy up enough land that it started to affect the economy of the region, the government could just void out their rights to the land. Or reduce them to only a minimal level.
Systemd is really bad and if you have a list listing minimalist stuff everything that uses it should be excluded. Having it at the top is a good thing.

Yes, systemd stays out of the way of most users since most users interact with it in exactly two ways starting/stopping and enabling/disabling services. Every other init system has a near identical API for those two things.

This does not expose the user to the underlying insanity and the web of nonsense when you actually have to "develop" for systemd.
Having to do mostly that for a living made me hate my job and significantly pushed me towards quitting, which I eventually did. Yes, it is that bad. Avoid it.

Debian’s rules files often deliberately sinkhole the entire network during the build. It’s not the worst idea.
Pretty much. I see these people all the time, they know how to slack off to the maximum extent possible while still appearing somewhat productive to their superiors. They just exist and don't raise a fuss which keeps them employed for years or decades with near zero effort, all the while I'm worrying immensely about everything and so tired at the end of each workday that 12 hours of sleep is barely enough!

> I think two way traffic in the tunnels freaks people out. I always go into the tunnel cruising at 55 or 60 and come out the other side doing 45 behind the one other car in the tunnel ahead of me.

I think people mostly have trouble maintaining speed on the upgrade. If you're not paying attention or using cruise control you have to apply quite a bit more accelerator pedal.
I've never worked two jobs like that, but if an opportunity presented itself, I'd probably take it. I'll save my morals for people who actually care about me.

You can be perfectly moral in your personal life while being amoral in your professional life when it comes to matters like these. Trying to be moral in an inherently amoral environment is just opening yourself up for exploitation.
> Fire door, alarm will sound

Honestly it's a little ambiguous and confusing. When will the alarm sound? "When there's a fire" is the immediate answer that comes to my mind. Doors don't generally trip loud alarms when you open them. Not once in my life have I ever come across such a door. The idea is pretty foreign to me. Wouldn't be surprised if others were equally confused. You were familiar with that particular door and its alarm-tripping nature, others probably weren't.

"Alarm will sound if opened" might have reduced such incidents.
I'm sure this is useful in some situations, but their example of converting the co2 from a power plant makes no sense to me.

You burn carbon-fuel and oxygen to get energy (and most of the energy comes from the oxygen actually), then use the energy to release half the oxygen from the co2 back again. What's the point? Perhaps it makes some sense for methane, etc which has a lot of hydrogen?
After a cursory inspection of the memleak program source and Brendan Gregg's blog post it's still not clear to me what it is tracking to be able to decide that there's a leak here. It would seem to me that palloc causes a mmap call for the initial allocation (or to enlarge the region?); but why would an individual allocation within the region be treated as a leak? I can see how eBPF can allow to track mmap usage for custom allocators where valgrind or ASAN might not (I'm not sure about that), but it being reported as a leak would imply that the whole region is missing a deallocation call? How would it recognize via eBPF tracing that 4 KB within the region remain without a pointer?

PS. My assumption here is that palloc is allocating within a region. Which is how OP describes it (oddly it doesn't take a MemoryContext as an argument so that must be in some global or thread-local var, or palloc is a macro and takes the context from a lexical variable (uh)?).
This is forward looking. Models need to keep getting better. That takes research, and compute, and data. It’s not free, and it’s getting increasingly expensive.

I too pay for multiple services (Gemini, Claude, CodePilot). Not everyone can or will pay $2k, or $200, or even $20 for a massive model. And most flagship models today are significantly better than models 6mo ago, which were already transformative and valuable on their own. There is a huge opportunity to market “good enough” models for tasks that don’t require the latest and greatest abilities (eg summarize this list, write an email). Arguably, we already have much smaller and simpler models for a lot of these tasks.

There is a market for $20/mo assistants, but the potential market for “everything else” is much bigger - and assistants will be moving towards running locally where possible. These companies are burning billions, they’re going to need a bigger revenue prize for investors. And that’s integration of LLMs and AI into every other software product. The less of those products that run with OpenAI models, the less income OpenAI has to compete, and the harder it will be to keep up. That’s why the opportunity exists for big tech companies can flood the market with good but smaller models and ruin opportunities for cash flow to build the better models.

> 1. Jobs with minimal responsibilities pay minimal salary

This is so wrong, I cannot even take seriously the rest of the points.
Maintainers can't fully review all code that comes in. They don't have the resources. Even if they could give it a good review, a good programmer could probably still sneak stuff in. That's assuming a maintainer wasn't compromised, like in this case. We need a certain level of trust that the contributors are not malicious.
This is completely orthogonal, and not particularly relevant. That said, I didn't know this was the case. In fact, I'd assume an unspecified mkfs would complain these days.

1) mkfs is a userspace utility. Its defaults have no consideration for which kernel driver implements this interface; I'd bet a dollar that mkfs has been hitting the ext4 driver for ages.
2) As stated in sister comments, support for actual ext2 filesystems is unaffected.
3) Using a very simple fs by default seems like a good thing. FAT (variants) has survived forever by being dirt-simple, despite its faults.
4) Who in the world doesn't specify options to mkfs? It's one of the few operations that really doesn't have "sane defaults".

Is there a "better" default fs? I dunno. I've looked at a few, but most seem... troubled. So many trade-offs.
