I am absolutely with you on this. I still think USB is an abomination, and the most modern incarnations only get worse — USB3 being essentially PCIe signaling but messed up because the USB committee got involved. They…
The specific case I was thinking of was the host suffering an incident where it is not possible or practical for its software to know where it left off. For example, you get a kernel panic, or soft-reset for some…
Same. I really dislike I2C, but it's universal and it's been around for decades, and it's hard to avoid designs without it. I2C keeps causing these additional issues which the article doesn't touch on: * No way to…
The AI comes in as a way to make rich venture capitalists, sorry I mean philanthropists, part with their money.
If you cannot find a buyer who will take a cut of a $50MM valuation, then the company is in fact worthless. Liquidity is no barrier to this — there are plenty of financial instruments available to do this transaction,…
Uber's defense fails The Duck Test. They are describing a job, people doing a job, people paying for a job, and people taking a cut of the profits. They just don't use those words. I suspect if/when this gets to a…
I have no idea about this guy, but in my experience, people like this always seem to be pleasant, creative types on the outside. Every now and then in conversation they hold weird viewpoints you just can't reconcile…
> Between CarrierIQ and OTA updates/access, there is no such things as end-to-end encryption on a cell phone. I don't think you understand what end-to-end means.
Yes, wearout rate definitely depends on temperature, but without reference to any actual data, this is what I mean by "no evidence". Is it reducing 10 year lifespan to 9 years? 9.99 years? 5 years? Was it 50 year…
This article is actually describing how the Raspberry Pi 4 does NOT need a fan. This is not the 1990s. It is perfectly acceptable and even advantageous to design for a high peak:normal load ratio, with thermal…
You are missing the entire point of the article if you continue to call these algorithms "AI". Inflating simple things like this to mean "AI" has led to the term being meaningless. You are the example it is making.
> Backpropagation, which most researchers will agree is an AI algorithm, is a "simple algorithm". Back-propogation is not an "AI" algorithm. You are ironically doing exactly what this article is about.
This trick may break ordering and cache aliasing rules on many architectures. If you're dipping into this kind of thing, it needs per-architecture whitelisting.
I have routinely created firmware written in Rust which are just a handful of KB. The issues people are having are related to system-integration, such as static linkage, can be mitigated in cases anyone really cares…
An easy example with git would be to create a pair of read-only repositories: one public-facing which is cloned by the general public, and one with (potentially entirely) different contents which can be selectively…
Marc Stevens quotes $500K, which is very much still a threat (even an order of magnitude more would be). Plenty of organizations would be willing to spend that much pocket change on a single attack. The game-changer is…
It is appalling that the top 3 comments (at time of writing this one) are victim-blaming. "They should get better jobs". "There's a high demand so they should go elsewhere". "They should have known before they went…

You win at right wing talking-points bingo. The whole point of the EU is that Europe is better when it's together. There were multiple wars, involving the death of many millions, and that's just the last hundred years.…
It's just one part of the tooling, and doesn't solve program-correctness on its own. A formally verified toolchain is only really useful for projects which have pervasive mitigations against these kinds of errors. In…
The intent is a currency which can be reliably used for exchange of goods and services. This would seem to cause a failure of the basic reason for its existence.
Valuations like this always remind me of this meme which went around when 37Signals had an absurd one of their own: https://signalvnoise.com/posts/1941-press-release-37signals-... $500m sounds like a lot, but the 60:1…
A technology which incentivizes consuming all available resources and favors those with the most sounds like a perfect fit for amateur radio.
The story title is "AI powered Noise Cancellation" but the text never uses the term "AI" at all. It's deep (machine) learning. It doesn't need the useless marketing bonus term "AI" to make it better — it's already…
