I would check out the Unleashed firmware [1]. I've had pretty good luck with it so far.

Just because something can be used for sketchy purposes doesn't mean that's the only purpose of it. there are thousands of situations where people are forced to interact with a shitty website 100x per day and the site won't provide an api. Imagine if your job was booking plane tickets all day. United could provide you an API key to do so via an API, but in practice they won't, only some enterprisey travel software company can get that kind of access, for a steep fee. You could build a tool which automatically puts together an itinerary based on rules and books it, through a tool like this. Perhaps a slightly contrived example but I believe things like this definitely happen.
As a current Nix user, what I would really like is a statically typed language to define builds. Recreating Nix without addressing that feels like a missed opportunity.
Isn't the point of OpenCL to be... open? Not only did Intel and AMD not provide enough value, but neither did the community.

CUDA... is kind of annoying. And yet, it's the best experience (for GPGPU), as far as I can tell.

I feel like it says something that CUDA sets a standard for GPGPU (i.e. its visible runtime API) but others still fail to catch up.
But you didn't check those sites; they all recommend cloudflare or either very expensive (we all know what it means when there are no prices on the site and sales can call me) solutions, hard to use solutions or solutions you cannot use unless you are a certain type of site (the google one).

So basically the choice is cloudflare if you are not cashed up enough. So nothing to do with lazy; there are no other viable options for most if it's a large attack.
500 routes are still cheaper than 50k MACs, though, but I might be off a little with the number threshold there.

Market segmentation is a thing, sadly :(
In the past 2.5 years I’ve attended about 20+ Tech conferences mostly in the Cloud Native space.

It’s never possible to watch all the talks and even harder to absorb the knowledge.

My side project code named “TrendyTalks” is about distilling an entire conference’s YouTube playlist into core knowledge about the talks and trends of that conference.

Using Whisper for transcription and GPT4o I’ve been able to give this a go.

I think it’s as close as I’ll come to my dream of walking into a library and snapping my fingers to absorb all the knowledge in every single book in there.

Bonus half the talks are in Chinese, some are mixed and the magic of Whisper is that it can accurately transcribe words that are specific to a domain like Cloud Native where YouTube transcriptions catastrophically fail. It also translates on the fly!

I would’ve never gotten at this knowledge since I can’t speak Chinese.

Feedback appreciated, please reach out.

you should pick something off the shelf, but if you go through with it, make it open source! then you can share the work, and receive the benefits of community bug reports and contributions. check out HP's Grommet library for a great example.

the biggest thing this incentivizes, is to really raise the quality or "production value" of the library. internal-only libraries often suffer from poor documentation, shoddy code, and blockages caused by slow progress and bugs. by releasing the project to the public, your engineers will know that their work will be representing the company.
It's way harder to cooling things in space than on earth. You can't use convection to dump heat into a vacuum. Radiative cooling is much slower and harder to scale.

[2] "With Israel vowing retaliation for what was the highest civilian death toll in Israel-held territory since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel, diplomats rushed to prevent an escalation that could spiral into an all-out war after months of exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah over the Lebanese-Israeli border."

Very doubtful they've not considered it. When I go to coffee shops, I see maybe a quarter-to-half the laptops have a shade over the webcam. But when I see people using their phones, I've never once seen them use a shade, piece of tape, or post-it note.

They use the front-facing camera of their phone so often that the temporary inconvenience of removing a shade outweighs the long-term inconvenience of malware snapping an exposing photo.
In high school, after getting my TI-83+, I also started to learn to program things.

For tests, my teachers would force me to clear my memory (you're not fooling catholic nuns with a fake screen, she would take my calculator and clear it herself).

But I got good at programming. I was so fast that I would just spend the first 30 minutes of a 1-hour test re-writing the programs and then spend 5 minutes completing the test and be excused to go to the computer lab for the remainder.

Eventually I got so annoyed of typing things out on the TI-83+ keyboard, and as I progressed the programs got more complex, that I bought a TI-92 with a qwerty keyboard and would be able to write solvers the test in 5-10 minutes and fully solve a test in 5-10 minutes. I mostly did it so I could have more time in the computer lab.

I still have those calculators too, I should see if they still work some day :)
I'm not sure if emulating the wealthy is really a path to success for a broad swatch of American children, but I do agree that there is more at play here than the pandemic.

Children who hadn't even started school yet are still impacted.

While the years of missed classroom learning have definitely had a huge impact, the prolonged and unrelenting nature of the downturn in academic progress points to something more persistent.

I think we have to blame "phones" and computer time at a young age for a lot of these problems...

> couldn't you just make another proton email and link them

I thought about this, but no, that would fully compromise the data stored in both accounts. This is because the new recovery message would be intercepted by Proton, relayed to the attacker, and then it's game over, first for the first account, and then similarly for the second account. The encryption of Proton applies only to historical messages.
> A lot of classic software essentially worked more like a database. In the last 10-15 years it's all moving to an algorithm.

You just described what I missed about the older software. Older software gives users control over sorting and show data in a tabular format. Modern software sorts data with an algorithm, with ads mixed in, and shows data in a card format, making it a lot less usable.
> “Usually, there are tens of antennas on a single tower so they can't all look like this. Also, I'm going to assume that you have to keep anyone from getting within 3 meters just due to radiated emissions”

Those towers you see with lots of antennas are massive MIMO installations designed for very high capacity and coverage over a wide area. But not all sites need to look like that. In this case, it’s just a small cell designed to improve coverage within a building and/or on a few local streets. Power levels are also much lower, not all that much different to a WiFi base station. People aren’t going to get cooked if they get close to it.

That post is very straightforward, thank you!
Whoa, nifty. Can you speak more to the interop issues with Nix? I've been working on a pretty large Nix deployment in the robotics space for the past 3ish years, and the infrastructure side is the biggest pain point:

* Running a bare `nix build` in your CI isn't really enough— no hosted logs, lack of proper prioritization, may end up double-building things.

* Running your own instance of Hydra is a gigantic pain; it's a big ball of perl and has compiled components that link right into Nix internals, and architectural fiasco.

* SaaS solutions are limited and lack maturity (Hercules CI is Github-only, nixbuild.net is based in Europe and last I checked was still missing some features I needed).

* Tvix is cool but not ready for primetime, and the authors oppose flakes, which is a deal-breaker for me.

Something that's a barebones capable of running these builds and could be wrapped in a sane REST API and simple web frontend would be very appealing.

The real point are not "batteries transformed in bombs" but black boxes on sale. Hw must be open, sw must be public for public safety interests. Not only: visibility/accessibility must be a surveilled parameter, of course, we can't really see what's inside a CPU, if it respect or not the public open hw design, but any device clearly designed against visibility and repairability must be sanctioned.
I'm sorry, I don't find that compelling. I assumed there was tons of evidence from your initial comment, when in fact it's mostly the controversial declaration of a single person (David Grusch) which amounts to... hearsay and evidence he cannot produce.

You said:

> Its been wild to me to see people start to grapple with the evidence

But there is no evidence. There is a single person claiming there is evidence but that it's suppressed and he cannot provide it, and that "the government" has killed to suppress this evidence.

I'm sorry... this has all the hallmarks of a (bad) conspiracy theory.

> Wheres the radar data?

Before we jump to conclusions about aliens, let's remember that "UFO" doesn't mean extraterrestrial intelligence, and also, that we must do an effort to explain any phenomenon in ordinary terms before reaching for the extraordinary of ETs visiting our planet.

Even "I cannot explain this particular phenomenon" is not a free pass for ETs. "Secret weapons program" is still more likely, and that's just one possible explanation.
It just went out of business for… reasons. There are better tools out there nowadays, apparently. Why emulate a sunken ship?
I agree. We should research it at a level appropriate for the damage long covid is causing. Which is probably a lot, because it seems like a real thing that is impacting lots of people; but it's far from the most important medical problem we have.
Maybe it seems fallacious because you've removed it from clarifying context. Keep in mind that he's also against any other form of statement grouping, and so I can definitely see where ambiguity could easily arise in nesting groups of statements. You should also note the "2 or 2000..." statement is just a jab toward mathematicians.

Bit of correction: no statements and a single - arbitrarily complex - expression. An expression can be naturally delineated by parentheses; a statement stands on its own. End of the day, support for statements in a lambda would lead to a need for new symbols. Yet another thing that the user has to learn and remember, whether they're a professional software developer using the language regularly or a biology student using it for part of a one-off project. Again, the outcome of those decisions is clear today, given the general standing of the language.

Very well-written analysis with factual support for three main points about this kind of attack: it's entirely feasible, it's cheap, and it's virtually undetectable.

And the devastating effectiveness has just been live-demonstrated to an audience very interested in that kind of stuff.

So, yeah, air travel is going to become, eh, a bit different, soon. Get those cellphones and laptops with removable batteries while they're still available (and ensure the packs are models you can easily buy at your destination), as anything battery-powered is going to be off-limits in both the cabin and the cargo hold as soon as the now-extremely-motivated international terrorist community gets around to downing the first, oh, three airliners or so?
It means social protections, universal healthcare, investment in public schools, and things like that. In return you get lower inequality, which reduces crime, reducing the need to spend in police. Taxes are higher, but you can be sure that, if you are unemployed, you won’t starve.
In countries where healthcare can exclude preexisting conditions this can be a major problem.

And it's not just about shame. It's just about it being nobody's business. I'm not afraid of people knowing my history (though I imagine my mental health history may raise some eyebrows, I don't feel bad about it) but it's just none of anyone else's business and I would certainly be pissed if someone knew that I didn't confide in.
GCODE is not so easy in industry. Thanks to manufacturers having their own take on everything.
Happy to see someone inspired by Nix, but wanting to carve their own path. Nix popularized some powerful ideas in the Linux world, but it has a steep learning curve and a very unfriendly UI, so there is plenty of room for improvement there.

I'm not sure if Lua is the right choice, though. A declarative language seems like a better fit for reproducibility. The goal of supporting non-deterministic builds also seems to go against this. But I'm interested to know how this would work in practice. Good luck!

> Thus, one could conceivably create a supply chain attack to put exploding batteries into everyday devices that is undetectable: the main control board is entirely unmodified; only a firmware change is needed to incorporate the trigger. It would pass every visual and electrical inspection.

A better approach is probably to figure out what recruiter the company is using and contact them directly, indicating that you're looking for a job.

Wait, so was the Supermicro attack real? There was a lot of skepticism around it, and nobody was able to confirm it with certainty. Then a few years later Bloomberg unexpectedly doubled down on it, again without proof (if I'm not mistaken). Was there anything new after that? I haven't been following the story since then.

Yup, remote building and caching is on my radar. I expect it will work much in the same way Nix does now, although I'm being a bit more deliberate in creating an RPC layer so build coordinators and other such tools are more straightforward to build.

The string tweak is transparent to users broadly speaking. IME with Nix this thing works the way people expect (i.e if you use a dependency variable in your build target, it adds a dependency).

For me the killer feature is Windows Support, Ericsson is doing a great job bringing nix into Windows, but the process it's understandably slow, If this project is similar enough to nix that I can kind-off translate easily the zb derivations to nix derivations, I'm willing to use it in windows (It's not like nix has windows programs in the nixpkgs either way I have to bring them in my own).

The problem for me is that I see no benefit on using this over nix language (which I kinda like a lot right now)

What are you talking about? Lebanon is a parliamentary democratic republic. Their last parliamentary elections were held in 2022, and nobody disputes the results of those election (which admittedly had a pretty low turnout). Hezbollah is a part of an (albeit weak) coalition government and has 15 seats at the parliament (with 20% of the votes). The reports are coming from the Lebanese Health ministry which is run by Firas Abiad from the Freedom Movement, a Liberal Sunni affiliated party in the ruling coalition with no army and no fighters. Hezbollah controls only 2 ministries in this government (Labor and Public works), neither of which reported on the casualty numbers.

Israel claims it was Hezbollah, while Hezbollah denies they were responsible.

To date, there has been no independent verification of the weapon's remains. At this point it is very much a case of "he said, she said". On that basis I can only ask, why would Hezbollah deliberately target the Druze civilian population? You seem to imply that they did so deliberately (i.e. deliberately targeted these civilians). That, in my opinion is simply your opinion and not based on verifiable fact. There is not even a likely motivation for such an act.

To be clear, I am fully willing to accept - given the available evidence - that Hezbollah may have made a miscalculation and are responsible for the deaths of these children. Deliberately though? Very, very doubtful.

Why are flakes such a deal-breaker? While not ideal, you can still tag your versions in the .nix file instead of the lockfile.

I even had to avoid flakes in a system I developed used by ~200 developers since it involved a non-nixos OS and it involved user secrets (Tokens etc...) So with flakes I had to keep track of the secrets (and was a pain point, since they obviously didn't have to push them into the git repo) but nix flakes doesn't handle well omitting files on git (it ignores them also on nix commands). In the end, the workarounds were too messy and had to drop flakes entirely.
