This isn't a landmark case...Courts have been ruling against warrantless border searches for years, see US v Cano (2019), US v Aigbekaen (2019).

Indeed, this same federal court has already ruled against warrantless phone searches in US v Smith (SDNY 2023).
Thank you for linking the SE thread! So this is the reason I've been having so much trouble with my Bt devices recently. I've used Linux as my daily for years but have also started dual-booting Windows as of a few weeks ago, and I've had to re-pair every single time I'd switch systems. I just chalked it up to just generic Bluetooth issues.

> For example, if X is the event "you get 100 heads in a row when flipping a fair coin" then it is false that P(X) = 0.5

I think you haven't thought about this deeply enough yet. You take it as self evident that P(X) = 0.5 is false for that event, but how do you prove that? Assuming you flip a coin and you indeed get 100 heads in a row, does that invalidate the calculated probability? If not, then what would?

I guess what I'm driving at is this notion (already noted by others) that probability is recursive. If we say p(X) = 0.7, we mean the probability is high that in a large number of trials, X occurs 70% of the time. Or that the proportion of times that X occurs tends to 70% with high probability as the number of trials increase. Note that this second order probability can be expressed with another probability ad infinitum.
So these attackers could gain access to any account with email with a domain not currently registered to a Google Workspace? This seems like a huge breach of trust. (Especially given that it gave access to outside of Google accounts).

Is there a best practice around confirming adding social login to a pre-existing account? (Like entering current password or email confirmation?)

From the article:

> In the case of the reader who shared the breach notice from Google, the imposters used the authentication bypass to associate his domain with a Workspace account. And that domain was tied to his login at several third-party services online. Indeed, the alert this reader received from Google said the unauthorized Workspace account appears to have been used to sign in to his account at Dropbox

I've seen chess players, they are smart too. So what? Specialized model on commodity hardware beats most of them, if not all. This doesn't mean model is smarter. The same could be here. Is it possible that solutions are one step from model's database, or training set. Humans don't remember this much and have to do many more actions in their heads.

In other words model which can solve any/most school / college exam problem isn't necessarily smart. It can be just a database, or, in fact, a lookup table. Smarter version can be a lookup + 1 step test. Not saying it's bad, but it doesn't scale to less formalized domains. BTW, in this case formalization was done by humans.
Good point. I hadn't checked the date on the article.

Wow, that is dire indeed.

Of course you're not particularly emotional; these are low-stakes hires that aren't even in the same country. The process is likely a fraction of the time for a fraction of the money.

Maybe it's gotten better in recent time, but you also get mediocre results with hiring fast and cheap + offshoring.

Sure, as long as it’s not observable in any way, it’s not observable. But the problem is that speculation has been repeatedly been found to be observable in unexpected ways from both brands.

Amd, for example, has observability issues in all zen1/2/3 processors that leaks enough data to break KASLR that remain unpatched in all chips except for Milan (specifically epyc only, not ryzen). They didn’t expect cache ways to be visible in that fashion, and it’s observable that the model is incorrectly implemented.

the idea cannot fail, only be failed, because if it’s observable then obviously you just did it wrong.
Maybe off topic but I am old enough that I remember when AMD were inferior and should be avoided. It is one point in the famous "Is your son a computer hacker [1]

> If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips

August and September:

* Improving Volume responsiveness

On the one hand: I'm a software engineer, I know none of the engineers involved wanted to put out a bad product or are happy about the situation. On the other hand, my Sonos system became almost unusable with the latest update. One would think that the ability to control the _volume_ is part of a speaker's MVP. It's now unbelievably laggy, when it works at all.

I used to feel similar. But then I realized that my browser's password manager also can't get hacked (or if it does they have full browser access anyways) and it is actually easier to sign in with a pre-filled username and password (just click login) than going through the third-party auth flow (and remembering which one you used).
I don't think I agree. As you say, those extra few bits in your integer PCM are probably just noise, worse they might be correlated noise. They're not worthless, but I can't agree that they're automatically better than the infinite headroom option.

We don't have a world with 24-bit float DAWS, in our world stuff tends to offer 32-bit float, and so that's a no brainer, but just as I'm sure the 14-bit CD would have been perceived much the same as our world's 16-bit CD (bad engineers would do a bad job with it, good engineers would learn to use it well, some people would hate it for no reason), I think 24-bit float in the studio would have similar fans to 32-bit float.

I have some excellent news for you about the legality of targeted advertising under the GDPR.

The GDPR is very clear about this. Advertising is not a legitimate interest or a functionally-required data processing, ergo, it may only be done with user consent. And that user consent may not be coerced in any way at all, you may not even refuse access to services if users reject their data being used.

It's taking a while to go up and down the courts, but the days of ad-tech are numbered.

The point was, you can engineer around problems that aren't _inherent_ in the design, but arise as an interaction between systems. You just change the rules of interaction between systems to mitigate the vulnerabilities.

So, to your original question, we're always going to have prediction, and we're going to have to solve any vulnerabilities that arise downstream. Which, thankfully, is always an available option.
I agree totally.

But it's also a statistics problem because ethically you should incorporate your assumptions into the model. If the assumptions are statistical, then you can incorporate them in a prior.

High SMT speedups aren’t a good thing, because those are pipeline bubbles - resources that can’t be saturated by the first thread.

The ideal speedup from SMT is 0% because you’d be getting full output for a single thread. Like if you got a 50% speedup from SMT, in an ideal world that means a single thread could run 50% faster than it is, but it’s being stalled by pipeline bubbles.

That's really helpful to know. At this point though, I'm excited enough to build a volume knob that I'll probably still do it.

So you response actually strengthens my point, rather than rebuts it.

> From a subjective Bayesian perspective, p(X) is a measure of how much confidence I - or any other specified person - have in the truth of a proposition, or my own judgement of the weight of evidence for or against it, or my judgement of the degree of my own knowledge of its truth or falsehood.

See how inexact and vague all these measures are. How do you know your confidence is (or should be) 0.5 ( and not 0.49) for example? Or, how to know you have judged correctly the weight of evidence? Or how do you know the transition from "knowledge about this event" to "what it indicates about its probability" you make in your mind is valid? You cannot disprove these things, can you?

Unless you you want to say the actual values do not actually matter, but the way the probabilities are updated in the face of new information is. But in any case, the significance of new evidence still has to be interpreted; there is no objective interpretation, is there?.

While one commenter had it somewhat right that HDR has to do with how bright/dark an image can be, the main thing HDR images specify is how far ABOVE reference white you can display. With srgb, 100 percent of all channels is 100 percent white (brightness of a perfect lambertian reflector). Rec 2100 together with rec 2408 specify modern hdr encoding, where 203 nits is 100 percebt white, and above that would be anything brighter (light sources, specular reflection, etc). So if a white image encoded in sdr looks dimmer than hdr for non specular detail, that is probably encoding or decoding error.
Yeah. This wasn’t even an appeals court, so all this means is this judge thinks that.

That doesn’t pass the sniff test - the legal owner has to pay property taxes so why can’t they track it that way? If it’s a trust then it’s the beneficiaries that are the owners.

On the contrary, I've thought about it quite deeply. Or at least deeply enough to talk about it in this context.

> You take it as self evident that P(X) = 0.5 is false for that event, but how do you prove that?

By definition a fair coin is one for which P(H) = P(T) = 1/2. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_coin. Fair coins flips are also by definition independent, so you have a series of independent Bernoulli trials. So P(H^k) = P(H)^k = 1/2^k. And P(H^k) != 1/2 unless k = 1.

> Assuming you flip a coin and you indeed get 100 heads in a row, does that invalidate the calculated probability? If not, then what would?

Why would that invalidate the calculated probability?

> If not, then what would?

P(X) = 0.5 is a statement about measures on sample spaces. So any proof that P(X) != 0.5 falsifies it.

I think what you're really trying to ask is something more like "is there really any such thing as a fair coin?" If you probe that question far enough you eventually get down to quantum computation.

But there is some good research on coin flipping. You may like Persi Diaconis's work. For example his Numberphile appearance on coin flipping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYnJv68T3MM

An informative article for the Linux parts, I skipped the basics/intro.

I’d like to see some more detail on the rating chart, particularly on the axes where pipewire doesn’t surpass JACK/pulseaudio.

As an embedded software engineer who deals with processing at hundreds of kilohertz, it is funny hearing anything running Linux called “real time”.

If it’s not carefully coded on bare metal for well understood hardware, it’s not real time, it’s just low latency. No true Scotsman though(looking over my shoulder for the FPGA programmers).
For a full cockpit, the production would just buy one and trash it afterwards. Movies are one-shot corporations. Buy a bunch of shit, write it off. Prop rental is insanely expensive on the whole. Sometimes productions make all these fancy props and then sell them afterwards to rental houses to try and recoup some money.

You won't find it so much any longer, but there was a time in the early 2000s when some major Hollywood props were still available for rental at prop houses. You know how art masterpieces go missing and you wonder who has them hung on their walls to show guests? Well, there are a bunch of people who are now highly respected in Hollywood who took advantage of the rental deposits to "borrow" very famous props and then "lose" them during film productions and they can now only be seen if you know the right people ;)
It’s not a capital expense because you can’t sell it! Literally no one is going to buy your garbage code, ~ever. It has zero value; in fact it has negative value — you must maintain it or risk security issues etc.

The idea that it’s comparable to capital expenses in other industries is ridiculous. Approximately no one buys code. They might buy working businesses that happen to use code for something or another. They don’t buy code.

(If you are literally selling code, sure, you can call it a capital expense. That’s approximately nobody though).
Hi HN!

A widely known backdoor method to get into FAANG is to directly message a hiring manager on LinkedIn who is looking for new candidates for their team.

Often, you can land an interview with the manager through a simple cold message — much more effective than going through recruiters or job portals.

However, browsing on LinkedIn is random (at the mercy of your connections) and tedious if you do decide to search yourself for all hiring posts.

To streamline this, I created a simple page of hiring managers from LinkedIn who are currently interviewing. We're updating it every few days.

Check it out, and let me know if you find it helpful!
