It seems crazy to me that vulnerabilities like this still exist today. I understand that not everything will be written in Rust, but this could have been caught by basic testing and/or fuzzing, as Nick (the person who found the vulnerability) points out: https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2025/02/14/1. So far, this earned an 8.1 from MITRE: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-26519, although I'm not sure if that's just a function of it being a bug in a library that so many applications use.

This also goes to show how every line matters. The one line change was from

if (c >= 93 || c>=0xc6-0x81 && d>0x52)

to

if (c > 0xc6-0x81 || c==0xc6-0x81 && d>0x52)

Link to relevant source code: https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/locale/iconv.c (bug fix is line 505).

To explain the bug, EUC_KR is Extended Unicode - Korean. After ASCII characters (0-127), each character is multiple bytes. The logic adjusts to look up from a base-0 index, then checks that both bytes (variables c and d) are in the normalized range. If not, the code adjusts the characters and checks the bounds again. This second check is what contained the bug.

0xc6 - 0x81 is the upper bound of this check (69), not 93. The irony is that the second part of the check gets this correct. I wonder what a `git blame` would reveal about this particular line.
When I built "webapps" in the 90s, they were a collection of frames. You could just do everything as one page, but there were some neat things you could do by dividing the page up into frames + internet connections were not very good so if you had something you needed to update a lot, it was easier to make it it's own .html and server it in an iframe.

Because you could "NameAFrameAnyThingYouWanTED" they made some magic targets, _blank window to open a blank window (we have tabs, then we did not), _self to open in the same frame or window, _parent to open in the parent frame, _top to break out of frames entirely (this is how you would bypass the ad some free .coms would inject into your site)

When I read the html spec in the 90s all it says was you can name a frame anything except don't use _ as _ is reserved for special frame types.

Well, in the case of the latter, there was a vaguely known glitch for driving on the nose that allowed for better speeds than possible on 4 wheels, but it would be completely uncontrollable to a human. He figured out how to break the problem down into steps that the NN could gradually learn piecewise, until he had cars racing around tracks while balancing on their nose.

It turned out to have learned to keep the car spinning on its nose for stability, and timing inputs to upset the spinning balance at the right moment to touch the ground with the tire to shoot off in a desired direction.

I think the overall lesson is that, to make useful machine learning, we must break our problems down into pieces small enough that an algorithm can truly "build up skills" and learn naturally, under the correct guidance.
Not yet. I am still working my way to bootstrapping. I aim to release it some point this year though.

Currently working on a tool that allows you to get data insights/aggregations via natural language. currently only sql based databases/warehouses (Postgres, Bigquery and soon Clickhouse, Snowflake, sqlite, etc.). I will be working on document Databases at some point as well.

I started this for a bunch of reasons but mainly to allow non technical team members get any data insight they might need, without wasting dev resources on creating dashboards, queries etc.

I personally dislike this "everything in LLM/AI has to be a chat room" approach.

You’re calling someone “brain broken” for writing a comment in a cute manner to make it sound like product development. It’s time to take a step back and relax.
That's an approach.

Just last night I took a similar approach to arriving a number of paths to take when I shared my desired output with a knowledge graph that I had populated and asked the AI to fill in the blank about the activities that would lead a user to my desired output. it worked! I got a few none-corralative gaps that came up as well and after some fine tuning, got included in the graph to enrich the contentious output.

I feel this is a similar approach and it's our job to populate and understand the gaps in between if we are trying to understand how these relationships came to existence. a visual mind map of the nodes and the entire network is a big help for a visual learner like myself to see the context of LLMs better.

anyway, the tool I used is InfraNodus and am curious if this community is aware of it, I may have even discovered it on HN actually.
The machine learning model didn’t discover something that humans didn’t know about. It abused some functions specific to the chip that could not be repeated in production or even on other chips or other configurations of the same chip.

That is a common problem with fully free form machine learning solutions: They can stumble upon something that technically works in their training set, but any human who understood the full system would never actually use due to the other problems associated with it.

> The quadratic region (before the "on") is far more energy efficient

Take a look at the structure of something like CMOS and you’ll see why running transistors in anything other than “on” or “off” is definitely not energy efficient. In fact, the transitions are where the energy usage largely goes. We try to get through that transition period as rapidly as possible because minimal current flows when the transistors reach the on or off state.

There are other logic arrangements, but I don’t understand what you’re getting at by suggesting circuits would be more efficient. Are you referring to the reduced gate charge?

Are you sure the number of possible expressions is finite? Or is it countably infinite? I could in theory make an arbitrarily long expression out of the four fundamental operators, and because I can derive -1 from a finite set of operations it is possible to derive any integer from any even integer. You can also derive zero from the rules.

Interesting deep-dive; but I'm afraid the diagnosis for authoritarianism at the end doesn't really ring true to me. He sees More defending things he must know deep down can't be true; but he doesn't actually see why, he's only making conjectures. So I don't think his model will be very useful in helping inoculate people against authoritarianism, or cure them once they've been infected.

It sounds like you should be directing more of your anger to the C-suite than the people they’re hiring. If they couldn’t get even cheaper Indian immigrants you’d be complaining about code boot camp hires instead - what you need is a tech union which would give you the ability to push back against short-sighted decisions which make your life worse cleaning up messes.

It feels like you're arguing against a strawman.

I can only speak for myself, but I would like CO2 emissions to be taxed appropriately, so that fossil fuel producers and consumers actually pay a somewhat proper price for the damage that they cause (negative externalities).

Sure, that might slow growth, but I see so evidence that this difference in growth has much of a negative effect on US citizens:

How much GDP growth do you think we actually need as a nation to stay satisfied? Double our GDP every 20 years? More? Less?

Because I know that I would trade a good fraction of my "growth boosted" past and present wage in exchange for climate change already being solved (and be happier as a result).

PS: I would also like to point out that any significant constant rate of growth is inherently unsustainable by definition; as a species, we need to arrange ourself with the fact that we'll be unable to continue growing our energy consumption exponentially-- the sooner, the better.

My personal suspicion is that when countries have excess, they waste it by CYA with endless bureaucracy. But when countries are hungry and striving for excess they are more practical and will literally and figuratively move mountains to make things happen.
You're broadly correct when it comes to designing practical circuits.

But if your aim is to answer questions like "why do different colour LEDs need different resistors" or "what does it mean for something to be a semiconductor" pretty soon people will start talking about 'electrons' and 'holes' and 'band gaps' and 'depletion regions'.

This is an interesting idea. I started in agencies and this is indeed a problem.

It’s a good start for junior people to get experience but they tend not to stay long.

It also attracts people who can do it all - design, programming, animation, etc who become stars, and then wonder why they aren’t working for themselves.

Generalists like that also tend to navigate poor management well (also very common) because they remove the need to be managed.

The agencies I was at came to the opposite conclusion - why do we even have employees instead of contractors? Which never really worked out.

You’re incorrect about history. Mercantilism not only restricted foreign trade, but restricted domestic industrial development by requiring the colonies to sell raw materials to Britain and buy finished goods from the Britain. Tariffs were a core pillar of the Lincoln Republican Party.

There’s been an isolationist wing in tech as long as I’ve been in it (early 2000s). I remember chatting with someone at Cisco/Juniper in the late aughts about Huawei ripping off their router designs down to the silk screening. Of course today Huawei makes their own state of the art routers with their own silicon, and some lower-end Cisco/Juniper gear is white boxed foreign equipment. And of course tech folks were complaining about immigration and outsourcing back in the early 2000s when Republicans were enthusiastically supporting both.

One of the basic tenets of (both Orthodox and Catholic) Christian theology is that the Church, as the whole, can't be wrong because it is explicitly guided by the Christ himself through the Holy Ghost. That's why ecumenical councils were (and are, in the Orthodox branch) considered so important: if the brightest and most pious would come together and, while praying for the divine guidance, try to resolve a theological matter, then they will come to the correct answer. The Catholic church, as I understand it, has largely decided that this approach is overly cautious and expensive since a decision of a single person (by the virtue of being the pope of Rome) is already guaranteed to be correct.

This happens all the time with large investments in $X that make for impressive sounding press releases.

Actually, in poker it is very effective to study and approximate GTO (either by a human or by machine with counterfactial regret minimization).

That makes it not zero sum in the first place. Pension funds, banks, HFT firms can all make money while trading with each other.

> Yeah, because the stricter the definition, the more useful it is

Language is capable of expressing broad and narrow concepts. I don't think it can be said that either is inherently "more useful" - it just depends what you're intending to convey.

Moreover I suspect iinnPP may not have meant you're being too strict as in specific, but strict as in rigid and inflexible - seemingly needing to separate everything with a sharp objective binary line rather than being able to consider the context (something that is "big" in one context may not be in another) and varying degrees.

> A "thing" has less informational value than a "yellow jacket" and that has less informational value than "white and yellow jacket, with Adidas logo"

If the word "flavoste" came to commonly refer to yellow jackets in general, and someone used that word to refer to a yellow jacket, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to call them wrong because the jacket doesn't have an Adidas logo if that's not what the word flavoste is used to mean.

If you want a term to refer to things that are only readable by machines, such as to exclude JSON/CSV/XML/etc., something like "binary file" or "non-human-readable format" may be closer.
