We have quantum computers that can run the Shor algorithm, we managed to factor the number 21 (=3x7) with it in 2012, I am not aware of any improvement to this day.

D-Wave has been used to factor larger integers, but not using the Shor algorithm as it can't do that, it is not a general purpose quantum computer but a specialized "quantum annealer".

All of these attempts have involved some kind of trickery, and even the largest numbers claimed to have been factored are all ridiculously small compared to what we can do with classical computers. This is why these attempts are not taken very seriously: the preprocessing steps done with classical computers take much more time than what it would take for that classical computer to find the solution.
Author of the demo and library here, thank you for kind words, this was my goal to achieve almost pixel perfect recreation of the original GUI (which is sometimes not very easy as some components look slightly different in different programs, I meant small differences in buttons sizes, paddings, etc.).
Are there more companies with high quality chairs, or just more at effectively the bottom end?
That's all well and good, except the next pilot facing a potential loss of aircraft will probably hesitate (worrying about getting shafted), and keep trying to recover the craft until it is too late. Then you have a crashed plane, and a dead pilot. People make better decisions when there is precident for a no-fault management style.
"We have an alternate implementation / mitigation" gets you passed the hangup, for folks who need the magic words for 'thats dumb. we do it right'.
No one could have predicted this. /s
> nobody could explain the risk beyond the risk of non-compliance and the red 'severe' on the report.

Isn't it just a burden on the security team & the organization at a whole if nothing else? If every team gets to exempt themselves from a ban just because they use the thing responsibly, then suddenly the answer to the question of "are we at risk of X which relies on banned thing Y" can become a massive investigation you have to re-do after every event, rather than a simple "no".

I don't know the details of your situation obviously, maybe there's something silly about it, but it doesn't seem silly to me. More generally, "you can only make an exemption-free rule if 100% of its violations are dangerous" is not how the world works.
I potentially like the concept, but it's kind of hard to take serious when you open the page and are immediately greeted by a large-busted anime girl (and an animated ticker spanning the bottom of the page, full of zoomed-in crops of said busts).

Oh, I guess it actually is a joke?

It's accurate though.

Almost all of us here has worked on a ticket that made us say "The fuck is this shit im working on, who will use this? Who the fuck came up with this?"

And we just work on it, take the paycheck, and move on to the next one lol.

I agree, I feel like Pandora recommendations are far better than Spotify ones, at least for me. Spotify keeps me in my bubble, Pandora is constantly expanding it.
I don't think it's subjective. Royalties aren't paid equally, and considering Spotify is partly owned by the record labels themselves, it makes sense to steer listeners.
I haven't tried Pandora lately but Spotify is horrible for suggestions. My goto remains BBC 6 Radio Music.
It's refreshing that someone acknowledges that there is something some cities have done right in this environment
I didn't add a handler for the click event for labels, fixed now :))
huh? Commercial aircraft updates its manual all the times
While it’s more of a treasure hunt, I really enjoy browsing for and buying physical CDs, especially second hand. Albums are often $1, they sound as good as when they were released and they’re easily convertible to any other audio format, including lossless, 16-bit, 44.1khz formats. The only thing better is SACD, but finding that is like a diamond in the rough and ripping it is its own challenge unless you have the right equipment.

People are crazy for vinyl, but CDs are just _so_ convenient.
> while NPUs might lower power consumption slightly, the innovation is more about incremental efficiency than offering meaningful new capabilities.

Efficiency is more important than performance, for most people other than hardcore PC gamers. It's what makes the fans not spin up and make a racket and what determines battery life. Performance was mostly good enough 6 years ago, although it is exciting to see the continued improvements.

AI is always evolving but we already have tons of useful models with lots of room to do more with the same old designs.

Some NPUs can probably run a neural video codec, which would solve the HW decode problem once and for all, no more dedicated single function decoders, and we could do things like voice over extreme low bandwidth radio links.

Also, are they actually expensive? Seems like lots of cheap boards have them now.

From the article:

"Del Pizzo’s “decision to eject was ultimately inappropriate, because commanded flight inputs were in-progress at the time of ejection, standby flight instrumentation was providing accurate data, and the [jet’s] backup radio was, at least partially, functional. Furthermore, the aircraft continued to fly for an extended period after ejection.”"

He lost contact with the tower and his wingman, and did not try to use his backup radio.

He lost some primary instruments - the HUD - and did not try to use backup instruments.

If he'd contacted his wingman and the tower he could have verified at least some of his instruments, or followed his wingman in for a landing.

The whole thing is absurd. The guy lost his cool, freaked out, and punched out - and is trying to cover his ass by using the cover-their-ass section of the aircraft manual.
I won't say expertise, but what I've done recently:

1) used PixBim AI to extract "stems" (drums, bass, piano, all guitars, vocals). Obviously a lossless source like FLAC works better than MP3 here

2) imported the stems to ProTools.

3) from there, I will usually re-record the bass, guitars, pianos and vocals myself. Occassionally the drums as well.

This is a pretty good way I found to record covers of tracks at home, re-using the original drums if I want to, keeping the tempo of the original track intact etc. I can embellish/replace/modify/simplify parts that I re-record obviously.

It's a bit like drawing using tracing paper, you're creating a copy to the best of your ability, but you have a guide underneath to help you with placement.
Yes this. Large orgs can just keep throwing mud on the wall until something sticks.

If you're a smallco you don't have that tolerance on margin of error, small fuckups directly reflect on your pnl.
It runs on Mac and Linux! https://github.com/BAndysc/AvaloniaVisualBasic6 It even supports dotnet's NativeAOT, meaning you can get a native x64/arm64 binary!
Even their Pro version are free. So are they basically abandoning the project and giving it away?
Broadcom changed their licensing recently, charging much much more for most of their stuff. They also, IIRC, announced Workstation was going away. They are destroying all trust with those who use it. So when they announce this is free, it's hard not to think that means they won't update it any more as they are going to extremes to make $.
There’s a hero element here that so think is what irks me.

The reality is, most of the time when you “ship” your software, executive management neither notices nor cares. Even if you get the “attaboy” from a manager, they will forget it 10 minutes later.

You ship your software because you care about work, and maybe because you care about your users. In a big software company, shipping is not going to get you noticed unless you are literally the guy delivering gmail or google maps.
Yes, I set up environment variables in a plugin that are later read by already started worker threads. It's not a problem for me because the worker threads are all sleeping on a runqueue, but technically I do want to set an env var in one thread and read it in another that is already running.
Hey, author here, I built everything from scratch. It supports only a subset of VB6 so it wasn't difficult or long. I wrote an interpreter for VB6 code
Everyone understands they trying really hard to be humorous. You're doing a classic "you must not get it" bit when people find an attempt at humour stupid if not distasteful. Yes, we all get it, yet they're still stupid and the sort of ad I expect from Microsoft back in the Windows Phone days.

As another comment mentioned, they're tone deaf if not dystopian: If this is the best image Apple could contrive for their AI features....Jesus Christ.

As to the perpetually lazy bit, the ads are literally predicated on making a "humorous" situation around a thoughtless self-involved sociopath and the office clown. Supremely out of character for Apple, and they gave their agency too much rope.
I would gladly take an old stock yubikey at a discount - my threat model doesn't have a serious need for resistance to stolen keys, because at the user level they're unlikely to not notice them missing for long enough to successfully attack and then replace to a keychain.
oh in that case it was because i didn't know about them :) something to try next!
Maybe, if the attacker didn't bother to hack into the WAF itself (generally a softer target than whatever's behind it) and if you bothered keeping or understanding the logs (extremely unlikely to be a good use of resources).
Realistic alternative: life happens. By my experience, most of other people in that room probably only skimmed the prospectus, but even if they all read it carefully, maybe this one guy had a really busy couple days. Deadlines at work, kids getting sick, etc. With a dozen people in a room, sheer probability demands that every now and then, someone will be unprepared through no fault of their own. In this ad, it happens to be that guy.

In other words: beware of fundamental attribution error.

I’m an engineer who now works security. Very few of us come from an engineering background. Most lack the technical skill to do much than apply controls and run tooling. Some try to do design work but imagine a junior dev with 2-3 years experience trying to write a service.

Those of us who are architects and coders don’t often get to do it anymore because we’re not working on single projects or solutions.. so we become people who swoop in on a project for a month at a time to make sure there’s no major smells before moving on. Our understanding our your system is shallow as a result.
My “late 2014” Mac Mini had indeed become unusably slow (before I installed Debian on it, that is).
Come on man, this is hacker news! Because you can is always an acceptable answer!
It seems that in the Apple world, PC means "IBM PC-compatible".
I don't think this is limited to security.

I have friends who are very scary drivers but insist on backseat driving and telling you about best driving practices, and coworkers who are insistent on implementing excessive procedures at work but constantly are the ones breaking things.

I think following rules gives some people a sense of peace in a chaotic and unpredictable world. And I can't stand them.

Hey, author here, only a subset of VB6 language is implemented, I also didn't implement all properties and events, i.e. the Click event on labels. Updated the website with all basic events.

We moved to downtown Oakland a couple of years ago to live in a brand new building (it's great, definitely a step up from the place that I rented that was built in the 70s). There's this group of young men on loud bikes that cruise around on weekends revving their engines and taking over intersections.

I let my partner know, the first time we heard them, that they definitely aren't compensating for anything. They have nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, they're all well-endowed and that's the reason for the loud bikes. It's so that everyone knows that they're very lucky in that department, certainly nothing else.

We now refer to anyone attention-seeking like that as "cool guys," as our own inside joke.
Articles like this are off to me… you’re going to need to quantify and qualify your claims of things otherwise I don’t know how much credence to throw ya.

“I ship at big tech” is a broad statement… as a reader, I need elaboration or I tend to question the rest of the article. Is this just a guy bloviating or does he really know his stuff? And bold claims need to be back up.
It quickly turns into: what can I get away with, while claiming I performed the duty?
Yeah, cause de-powering and splitting the OG KGB totally worked.

Personal prosecutions by the compromised prosecutors and courts won't work either. The war is only the tip of the iceberg, an external manifestation of absolute corruption.
Hey, author here, I didn't implement all the properties and events, i.e. the Click event on labels was missing. Updated the website with all the basic events.

I don't think it says exactly that. It says he still had backup instruments and good flight controls and ejected from a flyable plane. If that were strictly true, they'd be well within standards to fire him.

I'm not sure I agree though -- it was a shitty situation all around, missed approach, go around, instrument only conditions, lightning strike that took out the HMD and most of the cockpit displays. That's a real shitshow in a completely fly by wire plane.
You don't need to understand the logs at the time you gather them for this, you just need to keep them long enough to cover the breach, and to be able to understand them after the fact. Hardly seems like an obvious waste to me, and well worth $500/mo.
It's closer to a RPi 4 than RPi 5 for CPU performance, and neither GPU has much in the way of video transcoding hardware. Something as simple as 1080p60 H.264 playback may be beyond the capabilities of that machine.
I read like four sentences on the landing and headed to purchase. I've wanted this exact feature for years.
Just the use of the word "shipped" implies that software is an interchangeable commodity that rolls off a conveyor belt in a factory.

That's not the reality with any software that actually matters, no matter how hard M.B.A.s try to abstract the human factor out of it.

Good software isn't manufactured. It's created. It takes thinking, and planning, and crafting, and all those things that are the opposite of a plastic widget factory that "ships" products to its customers.

Don't let then dehumanize the profession any more than it already is.
Think about it - a single plane costs anywhere from 1/8 to 1/10 of a billion dollars. Anyone flying one should try pretty darned hard to save it.
This article was so poorly founded with its thesis hoping that the reader has the naïveté of a serf.
The interest rate hikes are just the cherry on top in this particular space.
The ironic thing about the chimp story is that probably chimps are immune to the problem and humans are the only species that would fall for it. It takes chimps a long time to learn to copy others. I doubt they could sustain a superstition like this for long even if you managed to induce it through great effort.

It's humans that copy each other without a second thought. It's a great heuristic on average. These kinds of fables are correctives against our first instinct to replicate other's behaviors, but if we actually tried to reason through everything from first principles we'd never get anything done.

Copying is the plain pieces in the lucky charms, thinking things through is the marshmallows.
Maybe because C came along at about the same time.

I learned Pascal in the ‘70s, then discovered C. Pascal seemed limited and verbose compared to C at the time.
he was at very low altitude, struck by lightning, in a completely glass cockpit plane.

You don't "call your wingman" in that situation, you decide and you do. He didn't believe the plane was flyable, and in those conditions I don't think he had enough time or separation from the ground to make sure.
If only there was some way to mark a planet with a special marker.. that could be seen from anywhere in the solar system from any angle.

Maybe some rings?

Do you mean "why is running a firewall on an individual host useful"? Single-application hosts are quite common, and sadly some applications do not have adequate authentication built-in.

Do you mean "why does Linux allow firewalling based on the source host"? Linux has a flexible routing policy system that can be used to implement useful controls, host is just one of the available fields, it's not meant to be used for trusting on a per-host basis.

> The designation "PC", as used in much of personal computer history, has not meant "personal computer" generally, but rather an x86 computer capable of running the same software that a contemporary IBM or Lenovo PC could.

iTunes and Amazon have pretty much every song you'd want to buy.
Qobuz removed a range of releases a couple months ago at short notice, including from users' accounts. Hopefully their catalog remains strong as it's about the only online-only store with lossless that has a wide variety of mainstream artists.
