The author is the former lead of Google Project Zero, and the article is an in depth look at a low level bug. He’s certainly aware of memory safe programming.

I'm in a very similar situation as you with EoE, acid reflux, and a confirmed mild hiatal hernia. The anxiety seems to line up as well. Have you found any additional solutions, past the standard PPI and diet for acid reflux? Thanks!

What're your thoughts on MathAcademy? I heard about it here on HN several months ago, and it's been on my list of things to check out, once I finish my current two side projects.

Thanks for all this info! I’ve got a different gastro issue (eosinophilic esophagitis). Who knows if it’ll work or not, but high histamine foods overlap with food triggers for my symptoms. I also noticed correlation between higher stress

I've heard this argument multiple places. While I agree with the underlying sentiment, the US spent $592 billion on Medicaid in 2022. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of the US medical system, and government support programs,

As a suggestion, I think you could state more strongly that this is a code editor that runs on Android, rather than a code editor for things that run on Android. The demo photos definitely cleared it up for me, but the build instructions at

I'm not convinced by this particular test. If you were asked to describe a family member, partner, or best friend, I'd bet a good chunk of it would be Forer Effect like statements. A good way to A/B test this theory would be

The parent comment was saying that they thought the IT systems for a law firm were managed by a lawyer in their spare time, which is different from this case you describe. Maybe the IT folks properly and accurately described the risk, and w

I have to imagine a full time IT person was running the Exchange server, not a lawyer. This was a highly publicized vulnerability, with a patch readily available. There are degrees to negligence, and this one is only slightly better than li

What’s with fuzzing papers comparing against older fuzzers, and not AFL++? In this particular case, they specifically mention using particular parts of AFL++, but not the whole thing. To me, this is a consistent “smell” about the quality of

Privacy concerns and ChatGPT have different failure modes. If ChatGPT fabricates a link or makes something up, there's a potential feedback mechanism. E.g. I ask ChatGPT to explain a science term, and then I get told that my understand

I’m both thinking out loud, and not trying to justify the decision here. Given that a large part of tech employee compensation is through stock, what’s the break even point between further lowering the stock price and directly lowering comp

My point is that working smart involves predicting and then frequently validating that what you’re producing has value. The upstream conversation centers on individual workers and how much they get paid for their labor. Learning in demand

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. I’d be curious to see how such things, if implemented, fare under the adversarial conditions that current reviews and SEO are in.

As an investor, how am I supposed to know about various pieces of malfeasance by a company? Is it in their quarterly earnings announcements? Are they required to give me tours of their factories to whatever extent I feel? I agree with you
