An “administrative structure” seems fine, but the fact that a subdomain gets any sort of privilege over the parent has always seemed absurd to me. Surely a better solution would involve an actual request. login.foo.com could send a request

You’re missing the big ones: both the interrupt delivery and the IRET (interrupt return) mechanisms use incredibly complicated data structures to determine what the new state should be. They need to dig around in the IDT, the GDT, the TSS a

You can do this on x86 as well at a cost a merely tens to hundreds (possibly lots of hundreds) of thousands of cycles. This is part of why x86 is so popular in the embedded space. (I’m being sarcastic, obviously. x86 interrupts and interrup

Looks like the API is nerfed to mitigate some recent thinking extraction attacks. I wonder to what extent this will make the automatic Fable-to-Opus downgrade give worse results.

You are welcome to wear a macro lens cantilevered out from the bayonet mount built into your face :) I would prefer a lightweight, or at least not outrageously thick and heavy, pair of glasses.

I’m curious why the choice is between syscalls and, specifically, io_uring with O_DIRECT. AFAIK Turso is like SQLite and supports multiple processes accessing the same database, and I would expect buffering to be a huge win in some workloa

You could also put the camera behind a laser safety goggle lens that blocks the laser in question :)

Here’s an interesting article suggesting that selenium and acetylcysteine may be superior to succimer: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24734306.2020.1... There are also some studies suggesting th

Eww, that's awful. Calcium fluorite has a rather low IOR and is very dense. What you want is a sapphire lens, except that the birefringence might be problematic.

I'm not entirely sure. But we have have mechanisms like Google Safe Browsing, and I can imagine that a similar mechanism could be used. Or there could even be a new classification in Safe Browsing and similar databases for newly regi

A delay doesn’t even really hurt this use case. The first person to register the domain would still get it, 24 hours later, unless there’s an actual objection.

On a related note, anyone wearing prescription glasses will be affected by chromatic aberration to some degree, which may notably cause the blue portion of the image to be shifted relative to the rest of the image, which makes text and othe

I would argue that this isn’t a problem with auto mode or the permission system per se. It’s a combination of two issues: 1. Lack of effective sandboxing. Analyzing a zip file should be done in a sandbox specific to that file. 2. Python’s u

In my personal opinion, SELinux is a rather poor design, and I find that it actively gets in the way of trying to do security well.

Languages with dependent types can express things like “this offset is in bounds relative to this other array”, which is maybe what you’re thinking of.

People write real software using Microsoft Office's scripting features. Sure, it's not "cool" the way that Python is cool, but it works. And neither Microsoft nor Python has a credible security model.

Documents containing scripts are genuinely useful, as are, say, Python programs.

I’m baffled by the idea that the agents might have edited their own transcripts. Sure, a copy of Claude Code or Codex or Pi can edit its transcripts. But AFAICT this whole thing was part of an RL workload, and surely the RL system itself h

Sure. But IMO one should define, as part of the schema, whether one can handle this.

The sea surface temperature anomaly is indeed pretty high right now near the Los Angeles and San Diego coast.

This seems weak. In a language like Rust, the compiler will “lock” the pointers for you, and you can’t forget. In a language like C++ (and presumably Zig), one could, in theory at least, have the iterators and slices that reference the stor

What’s the security story behind the iMessage integration? Why is iOS willing to send iMessage data over Bluetooth to a device that hasn’t convinced Apple that it’s a validly authenticated device signed in as the same user?

I would go one step farther: the SQL is awkward and long because the SQL language not at all optimized for data that is normalized all the way to binary relations. And if you’re trying to benchmark one of these binary relationship query too

This technique should be straightforwardly adaptable to compute arbitrary moments, not just the centroid. If you have a scalar-valued function that you can conveniently express as the divergence of any closed-form function, you can integrat

Wait, are you telling me that, until two months ago, Cloudflare would actively remove the security from a site that processed Sec-Fetch-* and correctly set the Vary header? Seriously?

The obvious thing to consider is throughput and yield/loss. A centrifuge plant can produce kilograms of material and doesn’t fundamentally misplace any material, although it may struggle to extract all the inputs that are the correct i
