I have no broad evidence of this, but I suspect that the more beginner-friendly Linuxes are guilty of a lot of the sins that you laid out here. I seem to remember some controversy with Canonical recording your searches when hitting the super key, and Ubuntu having Amazon ads built in by default.

People who love to geek out about computers can of course install Arch or Gentoo or NixOS Minimal and then audit the packages that they're installing to see that there's no obvious security violations, but it's unrealistic to think that most non-software-engineer people are going to do that.

I really don't know how to fix this problem; there will always be an incentive for Microsoft (and every other company) to plaster as many ads as they think that can get away with, as well as collecting as much data as possible. I don't know that I would support regulation on this, but I don't know what else could be done.
The vast majority of water in western US goes to agriculture. You can of course make the obvious argument about local food production being necessary, but if the choice is more people can drink water at the cost of more expensive almonds and alfalfa, I'm ok with that. The idea that the west has done anywhere close to enough to optimize water consumption is not right, there's quite a bit of headroom left (that should be used to replenish aquifers).
Great points - can say this is all 'coming soon'! One note, because this profile isn't personalized to a particular user's products, tech stack, and 3rd party/ supply chain, it's especially chaotic. For a more tailored profile, the social, news, and dark web posts all cluster around a specific events since there are far fewer critical events of interest to a specific user. No excuses, just sharing for background. Interesting point on the hedge fund use case, haven't been able to find a good user/ persona to interview about that and would love any suggestions if you have any. Thanks again for checking us out.
All these new, low-bitrate codecs are amazing, but ironically I suspect that they won't actually be very useful in most of the scenarios Meta is using them:

To keep latency low in real-time communications, the packet rate needs to be relatively high, and at some point the overhead of UDP, IP, and lower layers starts dominating over the actual payload.

As an example, consider (S)RTP (over UDP and IP): RTP adds at least 12 bytes of overhead (let's ignore the SRTP authentication tag for now); UDP adds 8 byte, and IPv4 adds 20, for a total of 40. At at typical packet rate of 50 per second (for a serialization delay of 1/50 = 20ms), that's 16 kbps of overhead alone!

It might still be acceptable to reduce the packet rate to 25 per second, which would cut this in half for an overhead of 8 kbps, but the overhead would still be dominating the total transmission rate.

Where codecs like this can really shine, though, is circuit-switched communication (some satphones use bitrates of around 2 kbps, which currently sound awful!), or protocol-aware VoIP systems that can employ header compression such as that used by LTE and 5G in IMS (most of the 40 bytes per frame are extremely predictable).
There's a lot to be said for "good enough".

Oh wow, I did not know Lisa Su had a hand in designing Cell - that’s really cool. In some ways the Cell architecture was very ahead of its time - if you look at it a bit funny, the PPE/SPE map to something like todays grace/hopper - big branchy core to orchestrate smaller but more numerous vector cores.

Made designing/porting games a massive headache though because nothing else was like it.
Something I've seen in many cities around the world (though never once in the US) is cities that essentially integrate literal forests into their layout. It's not the typical aesthetic or small-park type setting with a few dozen neatly sculpted and organized trees that would shortly give way without constant attention, but literal overgrown and completely self-sustaining forests. The closest I could find with an image search was apparently in Melbourne. [1] Imagine something like that, but somewhat more chaotic and natural. It works really well, but runs contrary to the sort of sterile aesthetic that most Western cities generally aim for.

This is a big problem we are facing in Greece too, especially in our concrete jungle (Athens).

Summers are not just unbearable, but becoming dangerous too.

Extreme weather events are here to stay and we need to find smart ways to handle them. We also need to prepare for a way of life that is different than what we are used to, including the social/economic ramifications of these environmental changes.

I played it last night. There would be maybe a couple dozen enemies on screen. Which, for a dial-up connection, is a massive amount to communicate about in real time. The fights are structured such that it feels like 5x that amount, though.

> Your complete system design and other features should be based on the idea of ”security first”, if you really want to build secure systems.

One can argue that the most secure system is the one turned off and not used. And i am not talking about devices with builtin batteries.
> Are there really many situations where a 10kbps connection would actually be stable enough to be usable?

Yes there are. We ran on stable low bandwidth connections for a very long time before we had stable high bandwidth connections. A large part of the underdeveloped world has very low bandwidth, and use 5 - 10 Kbps voice channels.
Perhaps relevant to the story, he was also on the team that delivered the first petaflop supercomputer (the most powerful supercomputer at the time) around that same time frame (it was around 24K processors):

Roadrunner is a 1.38 Pflop/s-peak (double precision) hybrid-architecture supercomputer developed by LANL and IBM. It contains 12,240 IBM PowerXCell 8i processors and 12,240 AMD Opteron cores in 3,060 compute nodes. Roadrunner is the first supercomputer to run Linpack at a sustained speed in excess of 1 Pflop/s.

Pretty much the only way to get a hold of these in South America is to either buy a cricut (or similar proprietary solution) or buy a Chinese one.

I wish these were a bit more popular! I think drawing bots will never be as useful or popular as 3d printers so we might be stuck with poor solutions or building our own. The axidraw software is open source but I'm not sure there's been a whole lot of effort into adapting it to open hardware solutions. Though there's a project on thingverse that seems compatible.
Yes, but it doesn't have to be. Have you looked into Dave Taht's crusade against buffers?
It is already possible to reach 800 MeV (the energy for an EUV FEL according to the article) with single-stage laser wakefield accelerators. The problem is doing so with sufficient beam quality, reproducibility and repetition rate. The energy efficiency would also be a problem, as it is nowhere close to what an energy recovery linac could achieve.

Actually there's quite alot public info, as the case is quite public.

Here's a court-statement from Qualcomm on that topic: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ded.798...

Qualcomm agrees that the Nuvia License is void, they just claim that they can transfer all their IP to the Qualcomm license:.

"3. Qualcomm has its own license agreements with ARM, under which Qualcomm has licensed and paid for the same intellectual property that NUVIA licensed under its own separate agreements with ARM. Therefore, even though ARM terminated the NUVIA licenses, Qualcomm owns independent licenses for the same ARM technology and information"

-

ARM disagrees on this, referring to a clause in their license-contract with Nuvia: "Upon termination, the Nuvia ALA requires Nuvia to cease using and destroy any technology developed under the Nuvia ALA, as well as cease using Arm’s trademarks in connection with any technology developed under the Nuvia ALA"

The response of Qualcomm is this: "4. The notion that ARM has the right to control technology that is not ARM’s—and worse yet, to ask Defendants to destroy their innovation and inventions unless substantial monetary tribute is paid to ARM—offends customary norms of technology ownership, as well as NUVIA’s and Qualcomm’s rights under their agreements with ARM."

and this: "7. ARM’s position is a threat to the industry generally. Unless this Court rejects ARM’s arguments, ARM’s extreme position could be weaponized against all of its licensees, allowing ARM to claim ownership over all its licensees’ innovations."

-

So:

1. Nuvia's license (and everything created under it) became void when Qualcomm acquired the company --> Qualcomm obviously agrees.

2. Qualcomm's license doesn't cover the IP Nuvia created with their license --> Qualcomm argues that this is "offending" and "a threat to the industry"

-

So it is not so much in dispute what Qualcomm's or Nuvia's contract says, Qualcomm apparently tries to convince the court that they have the right to use Nuvia's IP despite the license of Nuvia saying otherwise...

I don't know how authoritative this source is, but usually when it comes to doling out money, governments are pretty strict about defining such terms.

https://www.dal.ca/dept/hr/employment_equity/definitions-equ...

At least in the US, these things have to match well-agreed-upon definitions of certain groups to receive grants, etc.

The original display at the California Science Center, the one they are currently replacing, had the shuttle in a large room, and about 9-10 feet off the ground. You might have been able to touch it if you jumped up.

It was a very intimate encounter with the shuttle. It's big enough to be amazing, small enough to be comprehensible in human scale. I was really quite awestruck being in its presence.

(Did you know all of the heat tiles has serial numbers? In hindsight, "of course the did", they were probably all unique in their shape. But it was one of those things you discover when your nose is 4 feet away from the bottom of the craft.)

That said, I can hardly wait for the new display, with the shuttle in launch form, mounted on the external tank with the SRBs. Seeing the designs they have, you'll actually still have a "close encounter" with this craft, despite its size. The rear of the shuttle will be quite close to the ground. It's going to be, I think, a very exciting exhibit.
Oh, I coded a mouse jiggler years ago just because I hated the corporate screen-saver. And distributed to lots of people that wanted the same.

Some time after it, they decided computers should hibernate when not actively used, so more people went after the jiggler so they could access their computers at random moments during meetings.

I refuse to accept that any of those (including your case) is an ethical violation.
There's a lot of talk about painting pavement white, but no mention of ripping it out and replacing cars with other forms of transportation. Internal combustion engine vehicles themselves turn 100% of the energy from gasoline into heat, localized to the roads they are driving on. This pumps billions of BTUs of heat directly into a city on a daily basis.[0] We could start cooling these cities down by not unnecessarily heating them up in the first place.

I assume you mean "if a machine authors a piece of music"?

A musician performing a piece of music created by another is not just there for playback. Two musicians performing the same composition will not produce identical pieces of music. The musician is inevitably adding their own layer of interpretation during the performance.

So, at worst, it becomes communication from the musician to me rather than communication from the composer to me.

Entering an API key doesn't immediately cause iTerm to start send data to OpenAI. That's a straight up lie started by people who actually tested the feature and posted their findings on the GitLab thread [1][2] about it.

OpenAI integration is activated after you write a question to be sent to the AI [3]. It takes many clicking and typing to get to that point and can't possibly happen by accident.

It's one thing to not like a feature. But to behave in the way people behaved is not merely ridiculous, it's wrong and horrifying. People came to the issue tracker from Mastodon looking to start a fight that was uncalled for, threw insults and lies, and fantasized about physically harming the dev [4]. When all they could've done to avoid the feature was to simply do nothing.

And where do you take those numbers from?

Also identification is one thing, but good security should mean the vulnerability didn't occur in the first place.

Then you also need to get budget for identifying vulnerabilities.

After that you need budget to research how costly the vulnerability could be.

But before getting those budgets you need budget again to propose all of that and data to prove its value.

Unless you use your own time to do all of that or accidentally stumble upon something.

I think the only realistic way to get any sort of budget is if a deep enough incident actually happens. And this will only last maybe for a year until most of the decisionmakers have been rotated with new ones wanting to only deliver again.

One thing this article does that I don't agree with is presume that there are binary safe/unsafe limits that are objectively correct.

I don't know the exact numbers, but when I looked into once, I realized a huge number of chemicals that are deemed safe are later deemed unsafe or the "safe" dose is lowered by a factor of 10, 100, 1000 or even more.

And that's not too surprising because the FDA/EPA doesn't have any method (nor do they even attempt) to look at long-term (e.g. multi-year) effects of chemicals. They try a very high dose for a short period of time and hope that's a sufficient indicator.

And even if they did try to look, suppose a chemical caused anxiety, depression, and a 5 point IQ reduction... would we even notice this in rats?
I expect the opposite.

Most folks I talk to outside of technology are getting increasingly frustrated by the state of the world; from retail employees to firefighters to middle managers.

If it wasn't me who made the transaction, they won't be able to prove it because such proof cannot exist by definition. They can (and most likely will) try to claim otherwise, but best they can do is say that they've scanned something that resembled my eyes to them. It's like with cloned cards (or even EMV proxy attacks) - yea, they've read the magstripe that read as my card, but they can't counter the fact that I was not physically present in that store paired with a statement that I haven't made that transaction.

Also, in my experience, when a fraudulent transaction happens, banks tend to not challenge it much. When someone impersonated my card (I'm not sure but I suspect it was a BIN stuffing attack, since it was a sock drawer card) they just handled it without any issues.

3-D Secure shifts the risk/convenience balance and adds additional security checks, but it doesn't make customers liable for fraud.

There's no FUD. These are facts.
Treated wastewater is almost waste itself, because at least in the United States we're reluctant to use it for agriculture for the obvious reasons. And trees aren't particularly large consumers of water, because the irrigation methods are non-lossy. Not spraying sprinklers up in the air so half is lost to evap. Or flooding little furrows in between the rows of a crop. It's not that big of a challenge, at least water wise. Infrastructure, if anything, is the problem... cities would have to go digging up a fuckton of sidewalk, and spend extra on maintenance every time there's a leak. Worse still, is having two separate water systems (can't connect to the potable water mains).
Meta's use case are OTT applications on the Internet, which are usually billed per byte transmitted. Reducing the bitrate for the audio codec used lets people talk longer per month on the same data plan.

That said, returns are diminishing in that space due to the overhead of RTP, UDP and IP; see my other comment for details on that.

I'm used to Postgres, which doesn't have clustered key. If this is MySQL and you're using a clustered key, pkey is still how you'd identify rows in foreign keys etc, so I think the same advice of bigserial pkey applies.

We learned using natural pkeys in college, which in practice burned me enough that I'll never do it anymore. I just set some uniqueness constraints.
