The problem with using MSAs for this kind of analysis is that it ignores states like New Jersey. Some parts of new Jersey are very highly educated but do not fall within an MSA.

This is really fascinating - I agree that PAM LDAP appears to be especially obscure compared to other modules.

Most large software companies do continuous scans of their own source code looking for potential backdoors. Obviously this is not guaranteed to catch such attempts but definitely necessary in the current environment where Zero days are so v

Open source is very vulnerable to manipulation. Some years ago, I spent some time trying to understand the PAM module LDAP module on Linux (PAM is used to enable external authentication so its critical code). I found it to be completely imp

This is the part I don't understand at all - why Kaspersky?

I remember reading about such attacks for the first time in Neal Stephenson's book Cryptonomicon under the term "Van Eck Phreaking". Looks like its gotten a lot easier in recent years!

I'm reminded of a throwaway line from the book Anathem by Neal Stephenson (well worth reading by the way) “If you must know, they probably ran an asamocra on me.” “Asamocra?” “Asynchronous, symmetrically anonymized, moderated open-cry

Agreed - methane emissions from the thawing of tundra permafrost is alarming.

I think you have touched on something important - you need a good mental model of the system being debugged.
521.
by 2sk21 10y ago
I have always felt that I was better at debugging than programming :-) I have often been able to debug really complex problems but afterwards I am not able to retrace the steps that I took to come up with the diagnosis - so I'm not sur

I agree - I love reading about how the guys are able to bring ancient computers back to life.

I often joke that I have to take vacations to get real work done. My company like many does not allow vacation to be rolled over so, I usually wind up taking off the last two weeks of December. This is truly when I get my thinking done - I

Engineered lumber is quite common in the US for smaller buildings. When we renovated our house, the builder used an I-beam made of such material. I would be interested to hear if this is also being used for larger structures - I doubt if it

I have much the same problem! I am in the process of using Raspberry Pis to control my model trains. I have sensors in in the tracks that are connected to GPIO pins. I need a network of Raspberry Pis to control my whole system but only one

This brings up a question I've been meaning to ask: how hard is it to solder a 40 pin connector to a Pi Zero. Do you need a temperature controlled soldering iron?

by 2sk21 10y ago
Exactly so :-) It takes real effort to remain technical.

Perhaps there ought to be two axes: competence and interest. You may not need a very high level of competence but you sure do need a high level of interest to stay in this field (I wrote my first program 30+ years ago and still write code e

Agree about the chauffeur but consider that many wealthy people have diesel generators to handle power cuts. Would it really make sense to charge an electric car from a diesel generator?

Given the bad (although improving) power situation in India, its mind boggling that they are even trying to sell their cars there.

Anders Brownworth is the cohost of the Asymco podcast along with Horace Dediu. He mostly takes the back seat to Horace in that podcast so I'm amazed to see how talented he is at explaining things. He did in a podcast that he is working

I haven't been following React closely but this reminded me of a package called SWT that is used as the underpinning for Eclipse ( https://www.eclipse.org/swt/ ). In the case of SWT, the underlying widgets are platf

Would it be possible to use such a thermo-electric generator as a heat sink for a chip?

I think the missing piece here is commonsense reasoning (I really like your art work by the way!). There has been a lot of work in commonsense reasoning in symbolic AI but not sure if anyone is working on that in machine learning.

Thanks for posting - I was just thinking of this myself !

Right on the mark. This is the way way to get people to agree to monitoring.

Let me also add - I'm really thankful that you tried so hard to make it work. I really had hopes for it but I guess, the environment was not right.

Right - it seemed at the time it might become e an idealized version of Twitter. My hope was that by having to pay money to get in, it would keep out the shills and noise. I was a paid member for several years but it became clear that none

Really enjoyed this article! It seems a bit surprising that 45 year old chips are still available relatively easily.

Indeed, many safeguards were deliberately disabled during this "test".
