How We Found Bin Laden: The Basics of Foreign Signals Intelligence
If only they'd actually do something about it. Like sanction this place to its knees.

I mean, the US really hates when brazilians infringe their copyrights. It's said that as many as 80% of brazilians have done so at least once in their lives. This got us put into the US Trade Representative's intellectual property naughty list which is kind of a sanction unto itself since it hurts trade and economic relations.

One would think the US would not appreciate these unelected judge-god-kings stealing millions from american companies via completely arbitrary fines. Twitter is not even alone here. These same judges also fined Google when it tried to campaign against their proposed "fake news" laws. You see, Google perpetrated the grave crime of adding a link to their own search page. "Abuse of economic position", they called it.
There's likely to be very little funding for GLSL moving forward, and I would expect no major spec updates ever again, but vendors will probably keep publishing extensions for new GPU features and fixing things up. GLSL still has a fairly large user base. Whether SPIR-V is going to be the only Khronos shading language (or whatever you want to call it) moving forward, that's hard to say. Nvidia is pushing for Slang as a Khronos standard at the moment. Not sure if anyone's biting.
Microsoft Eureka- an LLM Framework
I'm sure it's not practical, but I always thought it would be interesting if instead of living "inside" a black hole, the visible universe was simply being consumed by a black hole so large it just encompassed everything outside the visible part. So no nesting, the universe just eventually gets consumed entirely by one black hole.
The alignment has to be better than half a wavelength. That's doable for RF, but for optical telescopes you're talking nanometers. That's not possible (currently or in the foreseeable future) for a spacecraft constellation.
So how do you not click links to confirm your email for a new account?

Rather one could use Qubes OS and only open links in disposable VMs and never enter info beyond that

Thats basically what I do when I get emails to confirm my email address for a new account

One can't always avoid clicking links can they?
Israel "supplies" Gaza with water because the source of Wadi Gaza (the Gaza River) happens to be on Israeli land.

That's like saying "The US supplies Mexico with water" because the Colorado River originates in the US and the mouth of it is on Mexican soil. Reality: America does all in its power to give as little water as possible to Mexico and the water that reaches the Gulf is a mere trickle, having been largely syphoned off by multiple US states before that point.

What I've read indicates Israel controls the water supply to Gaza and uses and abuses that fact in a hostile fashion.

The article provides some sound reasons for why

1. infecting yourself with this bacteria may not do what it is marketed to do

2. may result in suppression of beneficial microbiota

3. is not safe against lateral acquisition of a gene that is beneficial to the microbe but pathogenic to the human host

4. there is no real kill switch

for a lot of money, you might just end up buying a lot of health issues.
It's every so slightly slower, but the difference is negligible and won't be noticed on a desktop machine. These days, I just run the (Debian) real-time kernel as a matter of course on my everyday machine.

I haven't objectively tested it, but my feeling is that it actually makes for a nicer user experience. Sometimes Gnome can briefly freeze or feel sluggish (presumably the CPU is off doing something) and I feel that the RT kernel does away with this. It could be a placebo effect though.
Amazon launches Project Amelia, an AI assistant for third-party sellers
Yeah if you're literally the person building the product you should at least get cofounder credit. It's silly that one person pitches a company and touts all the cool things about the product, but the product doesn't exist, it's all to entice some intelligent but naïve bright eyed engineering grad that they're getting a good deal.

I worked as a founding engineer and the CEO kept saying that I'm basically set for life because he was certain the company would become a ~$10 Billion unicorn. Of course then I thought "Why would he say this if he weren't very certain it would happen", but that bravado optimism I realized was just par for course among founders, and only 1% make it. Your chance of becoming wealthy in 10 years in aggregate are much higher just working for a normal tech company and investing your disposable income.
The tone of the responses from X have changed a great deal since the whole thing began. There’s much less of a confrontational approach, presumably because given the declines in revenues, they’re realizing they can’t afford more of it.
I would avoid cloudflare and i did this research before; there simply aren't any affordable competitors. That is why everyone keeps coming back to them.
Back to the original topic, I think the above is interesting but irrelevant. If your system is at risk of bringing in stormwater to screw up your measurement, you'd change where you're taking the measurement and/or be a little selective about when you take the measurement.

> Brazil's national telecommunication agency, Anatel, has been ordered by de Moraes to prevent access to the platform by blocking Cloudflare as well as Fastly and EdgeUno servers, and others that the court said had been "created to circumvent" a suspension of X in Brazil.

Blocking Cloudflare and Fastly seems like a reactionary measure that is not exactly well conceived.
That's a pretty incredible improvement. Was that from ongoing therapy over years, or did it gradually improve by itself after your childhood treatment?
Surprisingly - No Microsoft logos. (Windows, Office, Azure, ...)
You could create a company called Diatomics and sell them (the 3D prints). Would make great wall decorations. Would be cool to try to use AI to try to write a program to generate the 3D datasets. OpenAI-01 is so smart I bet it could create some diatom-modeling 3D code.

None of this is “well conceived”. De Moraes is way too high on his own supply.
NVidia never even implemented OpenCL 2.0

AMD had a buggy version. Intel had no dGPIs so no one cared how well an iGPU ran OpenCL (be it 1.3 or 2.0)

AMD was clearly pushing C++ AMP at the time with Microsoft. And IMO, it worked great!! Alas, no one uses it so that died.

That looks about as high-resolution as Google Maps to me. I’m sure the government can do much, much better, but this isn’t a good showcase.
I agree and disagree. Maintaining the health of a human body in a complex industrialized society is the most complex problem in the known universe. The amount of variables involved is astounding. But we’ve settled on a system that is more of a bureaucracy than a scientific endeavor and we wonder why it fails. We haven’t been doing our best. We could do better.

We should support science, but give up on medicine for health maintenance and chronic illness. Medicine as a practice is centered on curing acute illnesses and fixing acute injuries. I went to the emergency room recently for a really bad cut on my hand. The experience was fantastic. That’s the type of problem they know how to solve. It’s a completely different type of problem than a chronic illness, which depends on behaviors, environment, diet, exercise, etc.

And not just “you should exercise“. To recover my energy, I had to find just the right amount of the right type of exercise that would increase my energy without overexerting myself and making my symptoms worse. There’s no way that industrialized bureaucratic endeavor like modern medicine could help with that, unless of course I was rich. The medical industry can’t change. I’ve given up on it. We need a new science.
Looks great, why is it free? Rather, how is it free?
Yeah I didn't really think of those as detective stories but it has been a few decades.
Why don't you download/run it and tell us what it is.
Sorry, are you a Palestinian or Israeli? Lebanese? I can imagine everyone having exactly the same story and wanting to kill as many possible of their enemies for the same reasons.

But it's unrelated to "nobody in the whole world can trust anything with a lithium battery anymore" and the cost of that over time will be much higher than your dead family and friends, in terms of say, people dying in hospitals over the next 30 years because pagers stop being used, or all kinds of anything where a battery powered device would save a life
Cloudflare is way more responsive to abuse requests than 95% of country level DNS registrars. Having experience working with both.
It also can help you identify the kind you like (coil, latex, etc) and composition you like (layer style and thickness).

Then you just search for those two things online.

That's how I found an amazing natural latex cooling mattress online.

And the best part is that most online mattress retailers have 90 day try out periods. We didn't like our first one, and instead of having us ship it back they told us to donate it and sent us the next to try. So now we have a really nice spare bedroom mattress as well as the perfect mattress in our bedroom.
Similarly, it’s possible that grade inflation increased competition and has forced top students to challenge themselves more.

Both perspectives reveal more about the speaker than the reality.

How can I get their manager's contact? By asking a friend at Google?
I think that Chrome is still doing a lot of downloads. They're just no longer showing them to the user.
I got one so that I could make copies of my apartment keyfob; I live alone and having a spare keycard that goes inside my phone case has saved me from locking myself out of my building multiple times. For me it's already paid for itself by ensuring my peace of mind. I've also used it to copy my gym tag (NFC), my parents' apartment keyfob (also NFC surprisingly), and multiple office access cards.
Not really any harm in trying, but definitely note that the trail marked “trying scheduler changes to see if it improves desktop performance” is strewn with skeletons, the ghosts thereof haunt audio forums sayings things like “[ghostly] oooooohhhh, the sound is so much clearer now that I put vibration dampeners under my usb audio interface”.

The reason I wrote my original comment is precisely because “audio xruns at a higher latency with lower system load” is a very concrete measure of improvement that I can't fool myself about, including effects like “the system runs better when freshly booted for a while” that otherwise bias the judgements of the uninitiated towards “…and therefore the new kernel improved things!”

There isn't much on a desktop that is sensitive to latency spikes on the order of a couple ms, which a stock kernel should already be able to maintain.
The point was not "War is only awful if it affects me", but more "War must be kept to the battlefield, or society will break down further"
Thats like not wearing a seatbelt because you can still be crushed by a truck. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Package managers prevent some attacks that are possible via curl | sh. Some other attacks are still possible. It is still better than not cryptographically verifying the package.
The cell network knows a lot about handset position without handset gps participation. UTDOA is good to several meters, CGI-TA to a lesser extent, etc.
Lots of stormwater lines in Texas cities/suburbs are straight to water sources. Lots of PSAs and signs and what not about storm drains going to rivers and lakes and what not. They don't often hit a lot of treatment plants.

As a kid I had a lot of fun exploring the underground of the storm drains.

lol. Every accusation is a confession.
And don't tell them about the browser inspector nor how to copy SVG code using that
It's unlikely to diverge from the same general flavor as vulkan. The worst parts of the DXIL to SPIR-V conversion I remember from that chain of blog posts is rebuilding structured control flow and how it interacts with atomics and wave convergence.

That's a problem that goes away irrespective of any DX extensions to SPIR-V for supporting the binding model DX uses.
you install the bootloader yourself on arch
That’s reasonable, we all should be free to accept the tradeoffs that life presents us.
I would say the author has some more substantial problems raised in the article. From the article, it seems the people pushing lumina as that we accept something which is unlikely to solve the issue (mutans is not the sole or even the probable cause of caries, just one of many) and this strain of bacteria is likely to pickup the pathogenic genes over time for higher lactic acid production, and it is no less likely than its pathogenic counterpart to produce biofilms. So now you have a bacterium that is more stubborn, and is at best going to out-compete a narrow band of microbes, some of which might be pathogenic, until it itself becomes pathogenic at some point. Now you have the same problems, with extra moving parts introduced where things can go wrong. What happens if your body becomes sensitive to the toxin this strain produces and you end up with horrific gingivitis that cannot be readily cured?

That isn't a great sales pitch.
Apples to oranges comparison there.

A great deal of Google Map imagery over urban areas is from relatively low level aerial survey aircraft that run lines over cities in summer.

The resolution is better and stitched together often provides a better bang for the buck than satellite imagery.

That said, Trump's image may have been from a sat or from a high altitude spy plane - they'd have ballpark optics but the aircraft would be closer in and more maneuverable .. I'd personally discount whatever Trump had to say about the source and want to hear from a third party military reconnaissance expert.
Shady okay, but I think your line about ethics being "very different" is going too far. "Here is a free VPN that will use some of your bandwidth for other people's connections." is a pretty fair trade. And you don't seem to be accusing them of hiding things or tricking those users, but saying a deal like that is inherently objectionable.
The hardest language to learn is the second one.

You can learn the first one by rote memorization. But to continue down that path requires remembering the product of all language features x syntaxes.
There are a lot of major security vulnerabilities in the world that were made understandably, and can be forgiven if they're handled responsibly and fixed.

This is not one of them. In my opinion, this shows a kind of reputation-ruining incompetency that would convince me to never use Arc ever again.
Not sure where you lived but the TI calculators were usually provided by the school district. I’ll never forget those distinctive yellow graphing calculators with the school district engraved on the back. I never bought my own during high school , but I did buy a TI89 for college courses.
While we're sharing neat ssh_config tricks, here's my favorite trick I use:

My home network is set up so that if I'm home or on my self-hosted VPN, I can SSH directly to my various things. But if I'm away from home and not on the VPN, I can SSH into my home systems through a jump host.

In the ssh_config file, I have it configured to detect how/where I am and optionally use a jump host.

Host jump jump.example.org
HostName jump.example.org
Port 41444
User mmh
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
CheckHostIP no
Compression yes
ForwardX11 no
GSSAPIAuthentication no
LogLevel ERROR
PreferredAuthentications publickey,keyboard-interactive
ProxyJump none
PermitLocalCommand yes

# Order here matters. Detect VPN first, then home network.
# If connecting to a *.example.org host and router.example.org = 10.0.0.1, must be home/vpn.
Match host *.example.org exec "getent ahosts router.example.org | grep -q ^10.0.0.1"
ProxyJump none
# If connecting to a *.example.org host and the macaddr of 10.0.0.1 is NOT 2a:70:ff:ff:ff:ff, then use jump.example.org:
Match host *.example.org exec "! arp -ne 10.0.0.1 | grep -Fq 2a:70:ff:ff:ff:ff"
ProxyJump jump.example.org

## Define the things
Host tv tv.example.org
HostName tv.example.org
User mmh
the performance is still a bit degraded though.
Because if you work on a team you need to use a language that the whole team can work with. If I'm the one R guy at a Python shop, it's not going to work out well. It depends a lot on org structure of course. But I think it's telling that the jobs you highlight are mostly academic jobs where the practitioner would be expected to be a highly competent individual working largely alone, or in a very small group, carrying out research on behalf of some stakeholders, and not likely to have to put anything "into production" any time soon.

For example, I used R (data.table) when I was a solo data scientist working on a consulting project where I needed to work with a dataset on the order of a few billion rows. I had nobody around to constrain my choice of tools, so I went with whatever felt convenient, familiar, and ergonomic for getting the job done.

Today, I am on a team of 5 other people, none of which know a lick of R, and my code needs to run in production pipelines that need to at least in theory be debuggable, auditable, fixable, etc. by people other than me. Therefore I use Python, because we are a Python team and that's the language that we use, end of story. (Python also happens to be a good choice on our team for other reasons, but that's not the point here).

Maybe the best industry where you are likely to find people doing "production" work in R is some form of insurance. But even back in 2017-2020, things were shifting towards Python at the one P&C company I worked for.
We hire interns and I've interviewed quite a few since Chat GPT. It's interesting they almost always ask what I (and the company) think about AI. Never had this question in the past. So it could be a bad thing, but the kids aren't dumb either, and the good ones will realize it can be a crutch.

Part of our interview process is a take home programming exercise. We allow use of AI, but ask that you tell us if you used it or not. That could be a good option for teachers as well.
Thanks for your info! Did you pay any bills during your 3-4 months dispute period? And what percentage of the credit did they provided you?
A bit of a tangent. This isn't a dig on HMAC itself, but using HTTP request body or query string as the HMAC "message" is the worst. My employer provides some APIs with that sort of scheme and it's a very common source of technical customer support tickets.

The problem is that many people are using web frameworks that automatically turn body and query into some kind of hash map data structure. So when you tell them "use the request body as the HMAC message", they go "OK, message = JSON.stringify(request.body)", and then it's up to fate whether or not their runtime produces the same exact same JSON as yours. Adding a "YOU MUST USE THE RAW REQUEST BODY" to the docs doesn't seem to work. We've even had customers outright refuse to do so after we ask them to do so in the "why are my verifications failing" ticket. And good luck if it's a large/enterprise customer. Get ready to have 2 different serialization routines: one for the general populous, and one for the very large customer that wrote their integration years ago and you only now found out that their runtime preserves "&" inside JSON strings but yours escapes it.

Rant over...
I will be surprised if she's still there six months from now. Trump will remove her if he becomes president; whereas if Harris wins, and the GOP take the Senate--a pretty likely scenario--I fear Harris won't hesitate to use Khan as a bargaining chip to gain confirmation of her appointments.

State actor is an arbitrary definition, based on what states your own government recognizes. Hezbollah within Lebanon is the state, with more power than the recognized government.

If they're using terrorist actions, those should also be considered legitimate
Trump famously tweeted images from an Iranian launch facility that had exploded. They were incredibly revealing of US satellite capabilities, even though that was probably not as zoomed-in as they could go.

I'm sorry, I've missed the "delete" window. But may I know how a comment here (after it being blacklisted) about it being blacklisted will be the reason to be blacklisted?
Which would then require Israel to use missiles. Which would be more complicated. Both logistically and politically. Also, it would be like playing whack-a-mole and risk of lot more collateral damage. Not to mention expensive.

At least with the pager attack, Israel hasn’t directly admitted it was behind it. Even though pretty much everyone knows it was them. But kinda hard to deny missile attacks.
I call it concrete seasoning when I drop something off the grill
