I’m building Videocrawl https://www.videocrawl.dev/ a platform designed to make video content more accessible and actionable. It offers two key features:

1. API for Clean Transcripts – Extract structured transcripts with references, code snippets, and images.

2. AI Video Assistant – Interact with videos using AI-powered tools for summarization, Q&A, and more.

Would love to hear your thoughts! You can reach out to me at sg@o14.ai
I looked at the call before and after to see what they had set the buffer to, and they clearly set the buffer to point into what is code. The executable is only 5KB and it's tiny; they had plenty of space in the segment to use a different part of the segment without purposefully blasting their own code.

While it's common, it was still a terrible practice. If whatever was filling in that buffer changed, they could be blasting more code than they intended. (As indicated in what I wrote, I know it was common if they wanted to reuse the space. Device drivers do something similar when they are done with their init code.)
Certain simple stochastic differential equations can be solved explicitly analytically (like some integrals and simple ordinary differential equations can be solved explicitly), for example the classic Black Scholes equation. More complicated ones typically can't be solved in that way.

What one often wishes to have is the expectation of a function of a stochastic process at some point, and what can be shown is that this expectation obeys a certain (deterministic) partial differential equation. This then can be solved using numerical PDE solvers.

In higher dimensions, though, or if the process is highly path-dependent (not Markovian), one resorts to Monte Carlo simulation, which does indeed simulate "many possible unfolding of events".
Thanks! My idea was to just render a Lorem Ipsum paragraph and compare the calculated width-height across a know list of default fonts.
Of course it wouldn't work with fixed width fonts, for that I'd need a canvas bitmap comparison.

Raydium Is Solana's AMM King. Can It Corner the Perps Market Next?
Congress isn't willing to do anything about it, because the president threatens to primary anyone who opposes him. The president has enough political clout among his own party for that to be a real threat.

That will continue to be a threat until the president messes up badly enough that he doesn't command that level of support within his own party (or until he messes up so badly that Congress will impeach him anyway, even if it costs them their jobs).
I'm not defending him so much as advocating for understanding, grace, transparency, and de-escalation. You of course are welcome to conduct yourself in the ways that you see fit.
Are you familiar with MS-DOS 7.1 by Wengier Wu (China DOS Union)?
The author did just that, though. They said they wanted to write up a post about the incident.

I think both I and the author understand why the CEO responded as they did; it's because the CEO doesn't care about security, and when a security issue was raised, they viewed the reporter as a threat to the blanket of lies they wanted to use to brush the whole thing under the rug.

In light of that, I think the author's response was appropriate. A lesser response would be letting the company off the hook.
This is way better than a rock. It raises no suspicion and leaves no trace. Maybe it doesn’t matter for burglary, as you’re probably going to take things anyway, but if you want access anyone knowing you were there this is gold.

In this case, Sublinear Algorithms refers to algorithms that don't consider the entire input set.

A B-Tree would not qualify because it must first consider the entire input set. Only later operations can be less than O(n) because you've already done O(n) or greater work on the data set.

You can't claim to support total free speech and also accept that there is content that is bad for society that needs to be controlled. The moment you accept the latter premise you then need to build enforcement mechanisms and have debates that boil down to political preferences on what constitutes bad. I think it's kind of a navel gazing gesture to just hand wave at "I support the good free speech' and wash your hands of any of the coercion/"fascism" that comes with how the sausage is made.
I am building Buckaroo [1], the data table UI in Jupyter that I have always wanted. I know how to use df.head(), df.describe(), sort, and run histograms on columns. I just got tired of typing 5 bits of code to minimally inspect each dataframe every time I looked at it.

So I built buckaroo, it combines a high performance scrollable table (built on top of ag-grid), with summary stats, and histograms. All of this is customizable and extensible. I recently built a dataframe compare tool [2] on top of buckaroo that uses coloring to show differences between dataframes intuitively.

Get in touch if you want to talk tables, data science tooling, or exploratory data analysis.

FWIW, I get several of these emails per week, as the first-reader of security@ emails, and they're almost always scams, sales pitches, or poorly-disguised bounty sniffers.

I can't even count the number of times I've been informed that Wordpress.com (.com, not self-hosted) has severe vulnerabilities. And those are the plausible reports.

But I always respond professionally and with civility, obviously, because if they have useful information for me, I want to hear it.

In defense of the researcher: Their message was better than most, and explained the issue found directly instead of couching it in BS claims. That's good.

In criticism of the researcher: They should have linked to their website where they publish reports, and been more plain about their modus operandi from the outset. Let the company know exactly who they're dealing with, and what to expect. Stating it in a sentence is "good", but linking to the evidence is much more credible.

I've been on both sides of this relationship. My dumbest experience was with a large bank (HQ in the Netherlands, but operating in several countries including the US and AU, and now acquired by a US bank). I reported a total account compromise vulnerability which would affect 12.5% of their users. I thought my email would be well-received and the (very simple and externally-obvious) issue quickly resolved. Instead I got threats and hostility from some SVP IS nitwit. I told him to go pound sand obviously, and it took them a week to fix the problem. My SO was a customer (which is the only reason I noticed the issue), but not for long. :)

There was a little glitch in the scraping protection where an errant regular expression briefly blocked all Firefox versions. Which is especially bad because I (the blog author) exclusively use Firefox, so I was blocking myself.

Binary search requires a sorted input, which requires that you first consider all elements of the input data set.

The sublinear algorithms this page is discussing require that the algorithm not consider all elements of the data set and you're not allowed to pre-process it with an O(n) or greater algorithm.

So no trees, no binary search. It's a different set of algorithms.
Your motivations are clear to you, the person drafting the email. If they were clear to the CEO, he likely would not have responded the way he did. Look, I understand that you reached out with the best of intentions and that my criticism is not welcome, mainly because of that. What you are doing is important. I just think if you added a bit more info to your initial email about what you want, things could have gone differently.

Let Writing be personal; reflective. Occasionally one might feel like sharing with another self. Then, publish with kindness to self. Publishing is an open set of choices, including writing a rambling email to a friend or two. If writing publicly is stressful, email someone.
> I also don’t know why it’s so controversial to want the gov to spend money wisely and make efficiency a core value

This is a rank and disgusting assumption, and should show anyone else reading this how dmix isn't an honest participant in this discussion.

It's not controversial that an administration is trying to spend money wisely, but that isn't what is going on here. Firing NNSB staff because you don't know what the NNSB does isn't trying for efficiency, it's pure and utter stupidity.

Now time for my assumptions: I don't know why it's so controversial to want the government to act with care, diligence, and common fucking sense when nuclear energy or weapons are involved. Why don't you care about nuclear safety, dmix?
Why did we move away from this model of web development? If I remember back that far, it seems like fairly soon after this was when the meta starting telling us that frames were bad, and using <table> was bad, etc.

I think it was downplayed even more. Supposedly the initial email by the researcher only had evidence for leaking database sizes, and I think it's likely that the CEO only got confirmation for this evidence internally and nothing more.

I've been thinking about the same some time ago. But after a while I got to conclusion that Anki is pretty well designed after all. Although for what I remember Anki Connect is in form of unofficial extension. And it would seem that there is a place for an official more stable API. Anyway I never got beyond thinking about it. Just to let you know you are not alone, and you can ping me if you ever decide to do something about it.
>They should have linked to their website where they publish reports, and been more plain about their intentions from the outset.

I don't get this. Their intentions should be clear by the fact that they reveal the entirety of the issue (what's wrong, why it's wrong, where to find it) in the first email. They don't ask for money, hide information behind further correspondence, or anything else that would raise suspicion.

The company has everything they need to locate, verify, and fix the issue without having to ever interact with the security researcher again. That's about as obviously well-intentioned as you can get.

Source on the construction start?
Quite possibly; however, it's very difficult to say due to lack of data and no way to prove it one way or the other. I do know that within Christian theological circles, this would have been considered an abhorrent crime of bearing false witness, just as it has always been.

The other reason it's difficult is the sheer prevalence, even in our modern culture, of the Black Legend which injected all sorts of myths regarding the Inquisition and Medieval culture. For example, the Inquisition rarely used torture, Torquemada only had 1% of his heretics executed, and there is only one documented instance of a woman ever being racked (and it wasn't even part of the Inquisition). The effects of the Black Legend were so extreme, that to quote the modern European historian Elvira Roca Barea:

"If we deprive Europe of its hispanophobia and anti-Catholicism, its modern history becomes incomprehensible."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_legend

Or, if that sounds too boring, broad, or controversial, here's History for Atheists admitting the Inquisition and witch hunts is one of the dumbest arguments for atheism, due to heavy involvement of commonly accepted myths:

> The reason is that while on a system that _uses_ crlf if you were to open those lf-only files in any text editor, it'll run the lines together into a jumble

This isn’t true. Windows is the only major contemporary platform to use CRLF, and nowadays all major Windows text editors, especially those likely to be used by developers, can read files with LF-only line endings without jumbling all the lines together. 20 years ago, it was a different story, but that was then and this is now.
It depends a bit on exactly what you want to calculate, but in general things like the probability density function of the solution of a stochastic differential equation (SDE) at time t satisfies a partial differential equation (PDE) that is first order in time and second order in space [0]. (This PDE is known to physicists as the Fokker-Planck equation and to mathematicians as the Kolmogorov forward equation.) Except in special examples, the PDE will not have exact analytical solutions, and a numerical solution is needed. Such a numerical solution will be very expensive in high dimensions, however, so in high-dimensional problems it is cheaper to solve the SDE and do Monte Carlo sampling, rather than try to solve the PDE.

Edit: sometimes people are interested in other types of questions, for example the solution when certain random events occur. Analogous comments apply. Also, while stochastic calculus is very useful for working with SDEs, if your interest is other types of Markov (or even non-Markov) processes you may need other tools.

Edit again: as another commenter mentioned, in special cases the SDE itself may also have exact solutions, but in general not.

[0] This statement is specific to stochastic differential equations, i.e., a differential equation with (gaussian) white noise forcing. For other types of stochastic processes, e.g., Markov jump processes, the evolution equation for distributions have a different form (but some general principles apply to both, e.g., forms of the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation, etc).
