So far within the Windows Kernel tutorial series we have exploited the following vulnerabilities against Windows 7 (x86) and Windows 11 (x64):

- Stack Overflow
- Heap Use-After-Free
- Write-What-Where

However, we still have a few more bugs before the end of the series. So, what's next, you ask? Type Confusions!

This week we also have a special guest, Siegmeyer of Catarina!
> Fight the sunlight? What the hell do you even mean?!

Are you not getting much sunlight? I can understand the reaction to being told something that doesn’t match your experience. But. The link between sunlight and sleep for most life on earth is pretty well established science, and has a name: Circadian Rhythm.

Have you ever tried camping for a week? My sleep tends to drift when I’m working indoors a lot, up late at night a lot, during winter, etc. But if I spend multiple days outside, it starts to align with sunrise almost immediately.

Both of these links say that Circadian Rhythms tend to drift and be longer than a day on average in the absence of sunlight.

The prime discounts are fake. Cost compare to Walmart. Their shipping is also free and fast. I hate Walmart, but I hate them slightly less than Amazon.
This is why I use serverless (API Gateway + Lambda) for super low traffic stuff. If I have a cron that runs 24 times a day for 12 seconds, or a service that occasionally gets a request every few days, it makes sense not to deal with the overheard and waste of a server or container running constantly.
> How many of us are just chronically tired?

Probably a lot of us, especially parents of small children.

I've also been struggling with sleep for the past five or six years, waking up in the middle of the night feeling strangely wired up. With a lot of trial and error I've been improving the quality of my sleep.

Three years ago I went to a sleep clinic because I noticed symptoms of sleep apnea and they were able to confirm it and prescribe a CPAP machine, for which I am grateful, but the overall experience was disappointing. When I explained during the follow up that I still was waking up at night feeling stressed they brushed me off and suggested some herbal remedy. It turns out that the pressure they had prescribed me was laughably off, which I only learned through trial and error for a period of two years until I found what works for me -- almost twice what they prescribed.

You mention some factors that I've also noticed having a big impact, like stress/work, walking outdoors (1hr minimum for me), stretching, foam rolling, early dinners, and only drinking one cup of coffee first thing in the morning. Another one that seems to have a weirdly strong impact is what I eat for dinner, with legumes/beans being by far the most beneficial -- maybe something to do with blood glucose during the night?

Doctors will often recommend exercise, but I find that these days even moderately strenuous exercise like riding a bicycle destroys my sleep quality for several days. There's something about it that appears to be too physiologically stressing, even though ten years ago I was a happy as a regular gymgoer.
This sounds like I could have written it. Fighting gear acquisition syndrome in photography is a real challenge.
And additionally a lawyer will help make him aware of alternatives he may not know about, and also give him warning as to what other strong arm tactics UW could do, and how to safeguard himself. It's truly a smart idea.
No, I can see in 10K volume it's a bit over $3, and RPI will be paying less for sure.

Even if we look at farnell for a qty of 50..

https://uk.farnell.com/micron/mt53e512m32d1zw-046-wt-b/dram-...

50 - £9.29 EX VAT

https://uk.farnell.com/micron/mt53e1g32d2fw-046-wt-a/dram-1g...

50 - £12.04 EX VAT

Those are public prices (not even account price) for buying only 50, and there's ~$3 difference even there.
I really don't care what they think. I have seen Americans lose their jobs to these H-1B visa holders. That's systemic abuse, full-stop. It's not about a labor shortage; it's about corporate America manipulating the labor market to their advantage.
That’s sad, I saw a one click deploy button in my IDE and made an assumption.

I specifically mentioned Capitalism because it required the investment.

It was Capitalism, not market efficiency.
> Treating men, and individuals generally, as a group based on statistics is just discrimination legally speaking. Imagine saying that society should fear black people because they are more dangerous because statistically speaking they're more likely commit more crimes than whites. That's the same kind of discrimination. Are you ok with this?

Let’s take this to an extreme. Is there any point at which such discrimination becomes acceptable?

Hypothetically, if it was known that 99 out of every 100 people who have a specific tattoo are predatory, violent muggers, should people not fear and be particularly cautious around that entire group?

Assuming, solely for the sake of argument, that instead of a tattoo the indicator is a particular race, but the numbers are the same, does that change anything?

Modern societies are reasonably able to cope with potential misuse of publicly-accessible emergency equipment. Buildings have fire alarms. Airplanes have emergency exits with self-deploying slides. Trains have emergency brakes passengers can activate.

Misusing any of these can create a danger to others and is sure to be very disruptive. People do on occasion, and face punishment for their actions.

“ There remains a strange relation to the poems I have already written. Though they were written to create or affirm my existence, they did not, once they were finished, continue to do so. What they suggested, when I read them afterward, was that I had once existed and had thoughts; something that had been alive and specific was now silent or vanished. So the poems became a kind of chastisement, taunting reminders of what was not.”

Looking back on previous writing can also be a positive reinforcement, though yeah sometimes you feel taunted, or that you could’ve done better. And small though it may feel, writing is action. You didn’t just let thing bounce around in your head, you wrote it out - you did something. My hot take on this this morning - I liked this read, thanks for posting.

This is nonsense. Someone has to haul away the trash, police the streets, put out fires, teach the kids, ya know.... all that stuff you feel entitled to.

> I bet 99.99% of all email is delivered within a minute or so of being send

No doubt that is true. However, given the total volume of email, even that tiny, tiny remaining fraction still represents actual mail with legitimate use-cases. So it's good to bear that fact in mind and not roughly implement 80-20 stuff that tramples on those.
How would block chain make this mathematically impossible? I do not think anyone knows how to do that and that is because it is not actually possible to do.

Your concerns and your rage are legitimate and I understand them.

But you're also privileged to not be born and live in a country that has been torn by civil war. You're very lucky to live in a part of the world where however hard it's still possible to enact positive change in a civil and peaceful way. Don't throw that away. A violent society is not one that will bring the social justice that you seek.

The public discourse in your country is highly divided and it's no wonder that yelling harder into each ones echo chamber is not achieving any effect. Adding gasoline and sparks to all that is not going to improve the situation but on the contrary its going to entrench the differences even more.

A lot of progress has been achieved in the 70s via true peaceful movements. I don't know why that spirit no longer seems to resonate with people nowadays who just want to flush the baby with the bathwater.

I have the sense that social media is key ingredient in that. The asymmetry of Brandolini's law makes it easy for trolls to drown any peaceful messages and algorithms amplify people's rage.

What about the patient that got their misdiagnosed illness finally solved?

What is more important, the pains of Humans, or exhaustion of resources.

You want to go tell patients that rocks in the ground and unconcious trees are more important than their pain? Or tell a student that their educational future is less important than tress?
I agree. Unfortunately just cutting circuits isn't enough; you also need to brake and possibly unlock the doors.

Me too. My dad would go to "the computer club" and bring back some diskettes.

Best part was, most of the games were hobbyist efforts so I'd get a true floppy (5 1/2") that held maybe 320kb? And each side would have like 10 or 15 games each.

There was a later period on PCs in the 386/486 era where you would buy a magazine and it'd come with a CD loaded with games - back when shareware was a perfect vessel for marketing games that were easily stolen - good enough to sate a broke kid but also led to many Xmas gift wishlist items. iD had so much street cred in my circle.

I understand the joke, but I gotta point out that that's exactly what the PS/2 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PS/2 ) was. And it failed because it was an attempt to claw back the ecosystem from open/commodity systems into a proprietary alternative, which is... a nice outcome to bear in mind, IMO.
Thanks somehow I missed that!
I thinks this 1,000 OS book is a good start for beginners before diving into the MINIX book.

MINIX book describes more practical designs, with a more feature-rich implementation. However, UNIX features such fork, brk, and tty are not intuitive for beginners. By writing a toy OS first, readers can compare the toy OS with MINIX, and understand that UNIX-like is just one of many possible designs. That's an important perspective IMO.

Also, readers can actually implement better algorithms described in the MINIX book. It makes the MINIX book more interesting to read.
This is also why, even when the outdoor thermometer reads negative-bajillion, but it's really sunny,† it still feels nice to take off your winter coat: the Sun's radiant energy is heating your skin so you "are" warm regardless of the air temperature.

† Very cold and very sunny generally go together: the air is too cold to hold moisture, so there are no clouds, so you get the sun.
Some required courses are only taught in Spring or only in Fall.
Some of those "Fall only" courses are prerequisites for other required Spring-only courses.

If you can't get into a required course, it can delay your graduation a full year. That costs way more than a couple hundred dollars.

I ended up needing to stay an extra semester for a single course my final semester, because I planned poorly and discovered too late that I couldn't get it in my would-have-been-penultimate semester.
Unless as protection against hacking attempts at issuing the stand down command initiates a curse. After 3 attempts at the phrase, you must wait 30 seconds before your next attempt. After 5 attempts, you are personally frozen. After 10 attempts, all stand down instructions are wiped and the world is screwed at that point.

It’s “dad energy” that you are doing. I’m telling people to “grind leetcode and work for a FAANG” (tm r/cscareerquestions) and to learn how to pass system design and behavioral interviews and pointing them to resources.

Whose advice is going to lead to better outcomes? Doing drop shipping from Ali baba and selling sweet potatoes on line or mine?

While I haven’t had to pass a coding interview at BigTech, I have had to pass system design and behavioral interviews at one and I have conducted a couple at BigTech.

I’m telling them to work to demonstrate skills with working at increasing “scope”, “impact” and “dealing with ambiguity”.

https://www.levels.fyi/blog/swe-level-framework.html

I know first hand the leveling guidelines at one of the BigTech companies and 2nd hand about another. From working at one less than 2 years ago.

My latest project I’m leading is a Kubernetes + Generative AI project.

Do you really think I’m someone who doesn’t have a pulse on the modern tech landscape?
> Not really. It is a big difference between having mat 30 min to gym, school, whatever or whatever and not even needing a car and having to drive almost an hour to get anywhere. It is difference between "I can and will actually do it" vs "nope, cant do it".

Man if you think adult humans are that helpless I really don't know what to tell you. They aren't, but apparently you'd need some convincing.

> That is definitely not something an average person would do on the regular.

Sure, it's a pretty extreme example. It's nothing for folks to drive up the eastern seaboard between Atlanta and Baltimore to catch shows though. Anyway point stands, none of the entertainment and cultural experiences that folks who are stuck in major urban areas use to tout the experience are denied to folks who don't live in the city.
Regarding the 'Modular Monoliths' bit, I wholeheartedly agree. I always found it kind of disappointing that while we're told in our OOP classes that using interfaces increases modularity and cohesion and decreases coupling, in reality in most programming languages you're relying on the nominal type of said interface regardless. All libraries have to use a common interface at the source code level, which is obscenely rare. For interfaces to truly live up to what they're describing, they merely ought to be structural (or whatever the equivalent to functions is that structural typing is to data).

Edit, since I remembered Go has this behaviour: I think Go's auto-interfaces I think are easily one of its biggest selling points.
> modern "high-level assembler" language that doesn't have a callstack

PIC16 has a hardware stack of only a few return addresses, and therefore imposes the "all register allocation is static" + "no recursion" that you're asking for.
> isn't that why the American is watching this Italian movie anyways

I don't know. I always though people would prefer to hear the original voice of the actor, since speech is a big part of the acting. But movies are dubbed in a lot of countries. And most people from those countries I spoke to said that they find the idea of subtitles very odd because it's distracting them from the movie.

I am sure many if not most people simply want to understand what's the message behind the conversation on the screen first and foremost. Learning something new only works if while you try to keep up with the dialogue, you also keep track of all the expressions you heard for the first time, to look them up later.

This is why I think it's the translator's job to balance translation and adaptation. Directly translate the original where context helps you understand the meaning so you get the "original" experience, and adapt where leaving just the 1:1 translation will make you lose the thread or miss some details.
Genius you mean ?
Yes, you can always imagine failures that disable your failsafes. But you seem to be using that as an excuse for advocating omitting even basic failsafes. That's also not how you do engineering.
That makes sense but I think that if they wish to sacrifice humans in the name of innovation that in theory can save lives, it should be tested in locations where all the humans opted-in to this level of sacrifice. Surely there must be a tech community of people that think like this where such in-production testing can occur. Every port of entry into that zone can have checkpoints requiring vehicles and pedestrians to display an opt-in QR code and some incentive to get them to participate. I know we can't waive negligence but at least we could contain the blast radius to a known zone.
Okay, maybe, but modern Linux doesn't need CLI any more than NT does. Install Ubuntu or Fedora, click the buttons, be happy.

You can I believe emulate async with call-cc (call with current continuation), but I'm not aware of work in that area and not a lot of non-LISP languages support this kind of continuation.
I can't comprehend the reason for account deletions. I'm sure there are plenty of convicted killers or even worse people with accounts. Why would that matter? It has nothing to do with the service these sites provide.
It sounds like someone who has analyzed the situation and decided that this is the only thing that works, and that it's better if someone without a record does it.
This is a common experience for writers, the sense of sentences appearing or almost completing themselves...it just occurred to me that reminds me of something that is asserted by Julian Jaynes in his controversial "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind." He claims that prior to the Bronze Age, human beings did not recognize their thoughts as belonging or originating with themselves; instead, they perceived thoughts as emanating externally, from Gods. I have no idea if there are merits to Jaynes theory, but it's fun to consider if the writer's inner voice, this sense of automaticity while writing, might recruit the same mechanisms of which Jaynes is speaking.
A lot of students at UW - especially ones in the CS department - come from rich families. A lot of foreign students as well - who again - come from a ton of money.
I don't understand your confusion. People are posting them because they find them interesting and think other HN readers will as well, which is the point of the site.

American Society for Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama

Are there still credible voices maintaining that psychology is a science?
These same CEOs still don't realize that AI is very suited to replacing executive roles and outperforms your average CEO in every aspect without the human downsides. Shareholders would be way more interested in having a static board of AIs running public companies than replacing lowly workers that frankly will always be relatively cheap.

On the same coin, a lot of government can probably be performed by AI as well. Reminds me The Matrix where humanity delegates all governance to AI/machines
I remember that class - it was just between recess and lunch!
Yes.

And to further qualify the conclusion, the research was done in mice so it's premature to say whether or not human brains operate identically. (Mammalian anatomy between species is often similar, but just as often is found to be different in unexpected ways.)
Thank you, that looks super helpful!

I think you're talking about generic Linux distributions without a corporate backed concerted and invested effort into it succeeding.

A Linux based Steam console OS is a very different beast, and it's less about "the year of the Linux desktop", and more about "the year/decade of the Steam based console". And my assumption is that the underlying OS is probably meaningless despite the amount of effort Valve devs have put into Steam OS, Proton, and all the other intermediary pieces. If the Linux desktop gets better in the process it's probably a happy coincidence, but I doubt it very much that is an actual KPI for anyone at Valve.
