>"Although CMS was originally designed to run on bare metal, the version shipped as part of IBM CP/CMS was dedicated to running inside a VM.

As a thought experiment, now let's think about what a Linux system would look like if it was designed with this in mind. It will only ever be a guest, running under a parent OS. (To make life easier, we can restrict any specific edition to one individual host hypervisor.)

A lot of issues ordinary distros face just… disappear. It doesn't need an installer, because a VM image is just a file. It doesn't need an initrd, because we know the host hardware in advance: it's virtual, so it's always identical. It doesn't need to boot from disk, because it won't have disks: it will never drive any real hardware, meaning no real disks of its own. That also means no disk filesystem is needed."

It also wouldn't need most drivers -- and possibly might not need any drivers, depending on how things were configured!

Anyway, an interesting set of ideas...
Don't be so hard on yourself, I think you're a perfectly adequate size.
Yeah, that's a simple example. Pancreatic cancer would be at the other end of the scale:

- it's internal

- nobody really knows what their pancreas is supposed to do anyway

Plus the normal problems with self-analysis:

- distinguishing signal from noise

- going around looking for a problem means overpowering whatever signal there was with conscious attention

Still, I think someone with a stable routine, who has practice teasing out subtle signals, could pick up on something like that. Once you have enough experience with how your body "should" work, any deviation is noticeable.
I thought I recognized that url. Those first two blog posts were some much needed humor in late 2020. Glad to see it’s still a thing. We need more irreverent shit like this.
Huh, I had erroneously thought the exploit string was sent earlier in the connection, before the handshaking completed (note the "handshake failed" error in xzbot on successful exploit, and also the fact that no logging is done).

But you're right: we've verified the hostkey by the time we send the special certificate. So there's no way to effectively replay this without access to the server keys. My original comment is incorrect.

I'm actually surprised there's no logging at INFO or higher after this succeeds, given that openssh typically logs preauth connection closes. But I guess the crutch is that we never log connection opens and we only really log failures in handshaking, and it's not like the backdoor is going to go out of its way to log the fact that it opened itself...

Dynamic engineering Manager and Technical Project Manager at a global FinTech enterprise with experience managing teams of up to 10 remote team members while contributing individually to the launch of critical features and platform stability. Served as de-facto Product Manager of payments, assets and identity.

Built the engineering product support team from the ground up to support millions of dollars in transactions and all core business functions.

Looking for Engineering Management, technical project management or other similar leadership roles that blend Software Engineering, management, and product management. Ideally, in the Fintech or identity sector.

I also have a strong desire to get back to a focus on the code as a backend or full stack engineer, and less managing the team/projects. Even as an EM/TPM, I still found myself putting up PRs often because I really enjoyed it. I'd happily consider a more junior engineering role where I could be a bit more of an IC. In a past life, I actually franchised a coding bootcamp and brought it to my city in an effort to eventually learn the skills myself. I did so after 4 years of building it up, but I have found my unique experience in marketing, business development and more tends to move me into positions of managing teams and working with stakeholders quickly.

Flutter tooling is superior to that of native iOS and Android development. It's not just about the cost savings from avoiding separate builds: Developing a Flutter app is generally easier than developing a separate app for either Android or iOS. And the developer experience is way better too.

Google is not killing Flutter. Despite Google's rep, Flutter is a highly successful project that Google uses for many of its own products, including Google Pay, Google Classroom, and Google Ads. It's also used by other major companies: https://flutter.dev/showcase.

We need to do some form of this but I’m not exactly sure what yet. I suspect same process but multiple globals might work well. A lot of tests spend time sleeping or waiting for things. They might benefit from that kind of paralellism (like async/await, except between things it runs a whole other global object)

Threads could also work but the problem is you have to re parse & evaluate all the code. That’s a lot of duplicate work. It’s probably still worth it for large enough apps

That tiny fraction is quite huge. Filesystems and networking support are well known problematic areas, the sound system is a chapter by itself, and Linux is full of old, should-be-unused interfaces that attackers successfully use once in a while.

Besides, the core part of the kernel is way too big for anybody to read. And any of it can interact with any other part.
I have never heard of it, but I just had a quick skim through and IMHO the bad parts are the parts that have anything to do with economics, because it exposes him as a totalitarian neofeudalist (although he might not think of himself that way ... most totalitarian neofeudalists don't, they just don't understand their own economics well enough to see where it leads).

That said, the process was pretty smooth, and since I wasn't trying to pull any tax shenanigans, not all that upsetting. There are any number of corporations whose customer service is far worse than the IRS's.
these things are why focus on assuming compromise should be the default. Stop focusing all the effort on identifying the exploit instead focus on the behaviour of the attacker after exploit.

Kind of. When you do try to run bun in production you'll find out that it has significant differences to node -- like not handling uncaught exceptions: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/429

Then you'll use bun build and run node in production, only to find that sourcemaps don't actually work at all: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/7427

So you'll switch to esbuild + node in production :)

Definitely excited for the promise of bun, but it's not quite baked yet.

I get that. And at the end of the day the problem is a relative one. If the US Dollar isn’t the reserve currency for the world, then what will take its place? There aren’t any particularly good alternatives… Bitcoin is volatile with slow transaction speed and high transaction cost. Yen is controlled by an untrustworthy government…

I suppose we don’t have control over the outcome, but we do have some control over how we hedge against it or not…
I recommend checking out this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.16764.pdf. From the concluding section:

"Although the success of ViTs in computer vision is extremely impressive, in our view there is no strong evidence to suggest that pre-trained ViTs outperform pre-trained ConvNets when evaluated fairly."

Neural networks can be unpredictable, and there's evidence that questions how important transformers' lack of inductive bias (at scale) really is.

"Odd" is not "wrong".

But wrong is almost always odd, so the normal expectation is that you understand the oddity on your system. Otherwise you are blind to problems.

Anyway, it's also not common for an application to have "reduce total CPU usage" as a goal. Available CPU on the database is way more valuable than on the application server, and so it makes sense to trade them up.

This actually sounds really appealing to me! Sharing photos with family is generally pretty easy since everyone uses Google photos, but once or twice every year I want to get a photo from someone on IOS and it is a nightmare every single time. If I could send them a link and say "just upload it here and send me back the link it gives you", rather than having to explain for the hundredth time that if they send it in a text it will get turned into a potato, that would be pretty awesome.

Unfortunately I can't tell if that would be possible because either you are hugged to death (at 37 upvotes?) or Cloudflare has decided I'm a robot (maybe I am..)

I don't know if this is fake, but it could be true. I had a similar situation working for a WISP around 2010.

Every night, for about 10 minutes, the connections from our HQ to a relay tower became flaky. At the time we were using two Mikrotik 5GHz cards and some large antennas.

You could sit in front your computer and wait, a few minutes after the sunset, for the monitoring alerts start arriving.
After a week trying everything, including changing hardware (to the same specs), I was very disappointed with the thing and got out to smoke around the sunset.

Then some huge lamps we had around the building switched on, based on a light sensor. Immediately I received the SMS alerts on my phone. I ran into the building, turned off the external lights and bingo: 0% packet loss.

It turns out that the building management had changed all of external lamps the week before, with new sodium-vapor bulbs. And for some reason, on the first 5 to 10 minutes with these lights on, it caused very high interference on the 5GHz band.

Changed the lamps, problem solved.
According to this, it seems they don't actually send the telemetry:

I wonder if separating the test files out into their own repo, so that they would not have been available at build time could have made this harder. The reasoning being that anything available and this potentially involved in the build should be human readable.
Not sure I see the benefit of the bun shell. I use shell scripts when I know that the other people using the script will be able to run it in a similar shell to me, in order to cut down on dependencies. If I need it to be cross platform I just use a scripting language like JS.

Bun shell keeps the more esoteric syntax of Unix-like shells but also requires a dependency (Bun itself). If you already have Bun installed why wouldn't you just write a JS script?

I think the spec is saying that it is the message that should not express greater magnitude or precision, not 'the number'.

So including the string "0.1" in a message is fine because v = 0.1 implies 0.05 < v < 0.15, but including 0.100000000000000000000000000000000000 would not be.
The point is that every current AI chatbot including ChatGPT will write about liberal topics as if they are good and about conservative topics as if they are neutral, or they will refuse to discuss conservative topics.

It is a fact.
This isn’t your problem, but I had a 1994 Pontiac Bonneville whose trunk release signal was triggered by some kind of radio signal that was part of a reasonably common system (security? Anyway, this was late 90s). If I parked in certain locations (certain stores) my trunk was guaranteed to open. It was sometimes so bad that I would have to start the car, set the parking brake, shift to neutral (any gear other than park blocked the remote trunk release), close the trunk, and only then get back in, release the parking brake, and drive off. Otherwise I didn’t have enough time to start the car and get in gear before the trunk opened again.

As a practical solution, I used a short bungee cord to keep it from opening far enough to be obvious, and never kept anything of value in the trunk if the car would be unattended.

Sure, but we should avoid talking about open access as a self-evidently beneficial end rather than a means to make things that benefit society. Coming from a an academic library background, I saw numerous open access arguments fall flat in front of decision makers because their champions didn't have any existing analog to point at, and hadn't bothered to consider concrete ways an inaccessible data set stopped them from improving society.

While open data is very important to me, personally, as someone who knows how to use raw data to do cool things, I'll be able to connect a lot of the loose wires I see sticking out of the for the benefit of humanity angle once we start making genuinely end-user-friendly applications that require neither payment nor understanding python module dependencies to install. I've got some sketches kicking around but I'm tapped for time for at least a couple of months.

How many oss-fuzz packages have a Dockerfile that runs apt-get install liblzma-dev first?

Had this not been discovered, the backdoored version of xz could have eventually ended up in the ubuntu version oss-fuzz uses for its docker image - and linked into all those packages being tested as well.

Except now there's an explanation if fuzzing starts to fail - honggfuzz uses -fsanitize which is incompatible with xz's use of ifunc, so any package that depends on it should rebuild xz from source with --disable-ifunc instead of using the binary package.
I had to call them over a routine matter (address change) a couple months ago and it wasn't so bad apart from the odd phone tree referenced in this post.

The waiting time was about what you mentioned, but there was a convenient option to leave a call back number so you don't have to wait on hold.

We’ll add the uncaught exceptions handler likely before Bun 1.2 and fix the issue with sourcemaps. Sourcemaps do work (with some rough edges) at runtime when running TS/JSX/JS files, but are in a worse state with “bun build” right now.

Nope, it wouldn't have been in RHEL 10 or any of the rebuilds. CentOS Stream 10 already branched from Fedora / ELN. The closest it would have gotten is a Fedora ELN compose, and it's doubtful it would have remained undiscovered long enough to end up in CentOS Stream 11.

I completely agree with you; I just don't have the compute to train this on a massive dataset. With that being said, I'm not advocating for taking an in-1k model and putting it into production. I'm merely saying we can get ResNet to reach the same level of performance as ViTs. And that there's evidence that convnets reach that same level of performance at scale.
