The researchers are keen to note things about this, but also likely want to avoid giving attackers "more ideas", which I feel limits the discussion. Plus, I highly doubt these attackers don't know everything we should be discussing.

This is obviously a low hanging fruit and first PoC implementation. The fact that secure boot can "mitigate" some of this attack right now is mostly due to the attacker being lazy or deploying an unfinished product. The researchers describe this as "unless they install the attackers certificate", which is a nice way of saying that the attacker has not spent much time fishing through DKMS and abusing the keys used for this purpose.

There are a lot of systems that are affected by this type of attack because for various purposes they have to sign their own modules. The most common example of this (until extremely recently, sort of) is Nvidia.

Coexisting with the system is not the same thing as never questioning the world around you.
Kids are looking for community. Connections with other people who they share experiences with (and can make more experiences together). They're looking for others who see the world the way they do.

The solution is more face to face time with other families on a regular basis. Replace Facebook with actual faces.
> Maybe I misunderstand, but isn't that a similar idea to what I just described? Adding an offset to "rotate" the ranges of the exponent by a segment...

Yes it is similar. It seems to me that there really isn't that many useful operations that can be applied to the exponent beside adding an offset. But that's only a suspicion, do not take my word for it.

> I suspect that ensuring NaN and Infinity are in there will be crucial to avoid performance cliffs...

This is a reasonable assumption. There are in fact ways to rotate and add an offset such that the exponent can overflows/underflows to capture exponents 0 and 0x7ff (for inf and nan) with a single well-positioned tag. Making it work in practice is not as simple, but we are working on it.
> Or, when tech is in the hands of everyone and they excessively question those in authority…?

At least today, that doesn't actually happen. The sense of authority has just shifted from "nebulous leader figures" to (implicitly) "producers of this content I trust". And then when the conventionally powerful people own the content producers...even for an example like Snowden or Assange, there are plenty of competing narratives. Hell, my opinion of Assange as an example of morally rejecting authority has shifted recently because I was exposed to another narrative. It's not simple at all, who to listen to.
Fun fact, the City of London is the last local authority in the UK where businesses as well residents get to vote. Businesses can appoint one voter for every five employees up to 50, and then one per 50 employees after that.

> - Doctors want the best outcomes for their patients. They’ll use whatever treatment is most effective.

They will often do what make them the most money. Also remember that is doctor is subject to rules and regulations. He risks loosing his license if he does not toe the line. Your average medical student is about half a million dollars in debt when he/she graduates.

> - Doctors want the best outcomes for themselves. If they’ve found an effective treatment that others are overlooking then they’ll seek to publish.

Doctors do want the best outcomes for themselves, but if you manged to become a doctor, it means that you have never learned to question authority. Many doctors believe that what they are taught is Gospel. A doctor or a medical student who questions authority, will either not make it through medical college, or will have a license revoked.

>- Patients want the best outcomes for themselves. If there is an overlooked treatment then they’ll communicate it to their doctor.

A patient is generally ridiculed, or ignored by the doctor if he suggests something that he thinks is better.

It goes without saying that there are exceptions both among doctors and patients.
FizzBuzz trips people up for all kinds of reasons: fear of ‘gotcha’ questions, nerves, overthinking, or even feeling insulted by how basic it is.

For anyone that thinks this is tin foil hat stuff, remember the Australian government passed a law that Facebook and Google MUST pay Rupert Murdoch money everytime someone clicks a link on one of those sites to a Rupert Murdoch owned media company (basically all of them).

Yes, really. It only applies to Google and Facebook, and money must be paid to only Rupert Murdoch.

Utterly lost the plot.
Sounds like the US wanted to make the Soviet Union its colony, limiting its technical progress, but failed. Possibly, if they'd succeeded, they would have nuked Russia (and Ukraine, Belarus, etc.) in the 70s or 80s, confident they could track and sink all the Soviet submarines before they could launch a retaliatory salvo. Or possibly not; they might not have had a way to disable the other two legs of the nuclear triad, or not been confident in it. Or perhaps they would have hesitated to initiate a nuclear war in any case.
I’m not sure that’s a good definition of a city, and not one I’ve seen elsewhere. I’ve read quite a lot about urban planning and Tenochtitlan would fit right in with English garden cities of the early 20th century. It also had a larger population than almost any city in Europe at the time, and certainly the Spanish called it a city.
We support all EU sanctions against Russia. As for the extent of holding Nazi money — we held Allies money just as well.

If you are taking about “Switzerland does not allow reexporting its weapons to Ukraine” — it also doesn’t allow reexporting weapons to Russia. And any other country too. And all other countries who are weapons exporters require explicit authorization for reexport (otherwise, the weapons might end in countries you don’t want them to be).

Weaponizing SSO for Profit – a rage blog post
The difficulty is co-ordination. My job as a "responsible parent" is much more difficult if I have to fight prevailing social norms and my kids perceive they are being excluded from conversations and arbitrarily cut off from their peers.

The social media ban is similar to the logic behind gaming limits in China. The idea is that while the controls themselves are easily circumvented, it gives everyone an excuse to do the right thing.

Parents don't have infinite "control tokens". I only have time & energy to put my foot down about a limited number of things. It is much easier to establish conventions around responsible behaviour if the whole community is behind it.

I am OK with this ban for the same reason I'm OK with tobacco sellers being not allowed to sell to under 18s.

What do you mean by good communication? I feel different fields mean different things with it. E.g. in the consulting world you need to be able to deal with people their emotions. In software engineering, I don't think I ever really experienced this. However, I did experience it as a teacher [1, 2].

With software engineering I feel it's related to HN culture. Of course not everything, but a lot of it. Some things I can think of that software engineers would consider good communication is: (1) steelmanning arguments, (2) clear/logical communication and (3) concise, not long-winded. But often times, I don't hear/see anything about: (1) dealing with emotions or (2) the ability to reduce tension by being playful for example.

How do you see this?

[1] e.g. a student picking the wrong course and being utterly dejected and making the class toxic but it's not really her fault because the way this course was promoted was a bit too optimistic in its marketing.

> Every single Australian's ID will have to be verified (in order to confirm their age).
>
> Depending on the degree of cooperation (/coercion) the Australian government has with social media companies, the Aus Govt will be able to access citizen social media data with relative ease. So no more pseudo anonymous accounts (or, at least, they'll be made more difficult, especially for non-technical folk).

This isn't a given. It is quite possible to build a reasonably anonymous system to verify age at signup.

As a simplified model: the government creates a website where with your government id/login, they will give you an age-verification-valid-for-5-minutes token - basically just "holder is 16+" signed with their signature & the current time. Websites request a new valid token at signup. End result is that government only knows you're _maybe_ doing _something_ 16+, and the website doesn't know who you are, just that you're old enough (this is clearly improveable, it's just a basic example).

Whether anything like this will be implemented is a hard question of course. The current alternatives I've seen seem to be a fully privatised version of this, where a private company has a video call where you hold up your ID - that eliminates the government, but seems like a whole bunch of privacy concerns in itself too (not to mention being wildly inefficient & probably not very reliable).
No, you’ve just optimized for a lazy metric. You’re filtering for people who can handle trivia under pressure, not necessarily good engineers.

Australia doesn't (yet) have a thriving podcast and 'new media' landscape as the US recently discovered it had. Many Australians get their news from one of two large companies (News Corp and Nine Entertainment). Those companies therefore still have massive influence over electorates and therefore over politicians.

Very interesting. I mostly use AI tools to speed up coding and have 15+ years experience.

The speed of light has put a severe limit on what we can "know" about life in the other 1+ trillion (?) galaxies, or even in the other hundreds of billions (?) of stars in our own Milky Way.

And it was all apparently very difficult, from our point of view, but that aspect of creation -- and more specifically, its Creator -- are beyond the ken of creatures such as ourselves, even with our vastly superior talents and abilities. Very few of us reach the pinnacle of our ability to commune with the vast information system that is the universe around us.

Grind? Really? I work in higher ed and I teach. Prepping even a new course is not grinding. Teaching a course where you are professor of record is certainly not grinding unless you dont know the topic at all. If that is the case though you should not be lecturing for this class.

The only legit excuse for grinding here is if you did not do any prep.

Doing your job even with a 4/4 load is not grinding.

Research proposals and research projects might require grinding. Prepping lectures no way.

It wasn't that long ago that Americans were calling TikTok a "Chinese weapon of war and mass indoctrination" and wanting it banned.

To say nothing of everyone wanting Section 230 repealed and the government to regulate social media, requiring a court order for moderation, banning "algorithms" or making social media entirely illegal. The attitude behind this is absolutely endemic across the "free world." Australia is simply a bit further ahead of the curve as far as turning the moral panic over pedos and groomers and Chinese mind control into authoritarian action. As soon as the new regime gets settled in the US I'm sure we'll see something similar. Musk has already made vague threats along those lines.
Refreshingly, not a 90-page long self-indulgent monologue from the person themself, explaining in the minute details their philosophical, moral, and sociological stances on every thing they care to think about, which you'd expect from e.g. Elon Musk, the CEO of that other social network site with no usable name.

To be fair, while grinding shows opportunity of having enough time. It also shows determination and grit. I have determination and grit in other areas of life, but when it comes to leetcoding, I find it hard to have it.

I find it much more easily to have grit when it comes to dating/romance. I already feel it, it's a few orders of magnitude higher, at least on an emotional level that is. The strong motivator there is the rebellious belief/thought of "I won't be ignored! I deserve love too!" (I think everyone does). It's a trauma (little t) response. I'm married nowadays because of that drive, I'm currently reading the 7 Principles To Make Marriage Work.

But leetcode? In a good week, I do like 5 problems.

Yet, on the real world the answer is always one of "either" or "neither".

Anyway, most leetcode aren't of the type of "a widely applicable algorithm solves this". People only know the algorithms that apply to them because they studied those problems specifically.

And notice that one of the algorithms on your post is named after a researcher from the 80s. That's some 40 years after computer science became a thing. That's how long it took the entire humanity for learning it without anybody specifically telling it to them.
> What's important is idle CPU power consumption, and that's significantly better these days.

It isn't. You can find both ancient and modern PCs that idle anywhere in the range from 10 to 30 watts, and pathological cases for both where the idle is >100W. Some of the newer ones can even get pretty close to zero, but the difference between zero and 30 watts for something you're leaving on eight hours a day at $0.25/kWh is ~$22/year. Which is less than the interest you'd get from sticking the $600 cost of a new PC in a 5% CD.

And many of the new ones are still 30 watts or more at idle.

> That's an entirely different situation because of the closed and vendor-controlled nature of those systems.

It's a worse situation, but if the complaint is that they abandon their customers long before the customer wants to stop using the device, they certainly match the criteria.

> But if you can't tell the difference between 1080p and an NTSC TV, you're blind.

Being able to discern a difference and caring about it are two different things. If your use for a TV is to watch the news and play 90s video games then the resolution of the talking heads doesn't matter and the classic games aren't in 1080p anyway.

> The low-res stuff is relegated to very small budget models where it's really pointless to have such high resolution.

Which is the point. If you have an old 30" TV and no space for a 72" TV, you do not need a new 30" TV.
AI Minecraft characters did weirdly human stuff all on their own
I went to 10 of them this year, as I was travelling from Hokkaido to Kyushu throughout a couple of months. Found one accidentally in Sapporo, then actively looked for others in every city. It’s weird how I can recall every single one of them from memory too, as they were all simple, but genuinely a good time (and slightly different in terms of vibes and clientele it would attract).

But it’s also sad how this would absolutely never work in NA due to commercial rent prices. Most of them seemed to be ran by an older man (70+, I’d guess). And from my chats with some of them, they owned the property as well. It was just a blissful experience to have a drink, listen to music that the owner deemed to find great, and just let your mind wander around.

One of them introduced me to some amazing jazz bands that I’ve never heard of, and talked a lot about the history of such places. Shout out to Hideki-san!
