Is the idea that this is for situations you can't set `ulimit -s` ? This seems like a lot of work when you could just increase the stack size instead.

In the past when i tried just using image magick's built in -kmeans for this, i found chosing the second most prominent colour often looked really good. The primary was too much of the same thing.

If they were going to do it, it would probably look a lot like Ukraine's spiderweb attack. However if they were going/able to do it, they probably wouldn't warn everyone and ruin the element of surprise, they would just do it

So... did they have backups? Wipe all data kind of seems like the best kind of cyberattack if you have backups. No data falling into wrong hands, no left behind rootkits, no ransome threats etc

There is a big difference between iranian agents sneaking onto us homeland and conducting an attack vs just inspiring a sympathetic person to commit a violent act.

I'd point out that "terrorist attack" isn't really well defined here from an international law perspective afaik. I guess what you are trying to say is it would be a war crime?

In which case why is this a news story? They have already been doing that since the war began (rip AWS data centers in UAE and Bahrain)

One of the reasons not to start wars with other countries is it gives them the right to blockade your ports.

It seems kind of unlikey to me. Cyber attacks are unlikely to meaningfully change the result of the war, so it would kind of just be a waste from the china/russia perspective. They so far havent lifted a finger to do anything for iran

Did iran provide a warning before striking the Ras Tanura oil refining facility? I dont recall seeing that in the news but i might have missed it.

I guess i should say, nobody holds back out of being nice. If they hold back its because of some strategic benefit, such as rationing the weapons for the long haul. What is the strategic benefit here of not attacking? The warning is unlikel

Is a cyberattack a military action? Like if you take over a control system to open a dam, sure i'd buy that as counting. But say ddos'ing a website? Its hard for me to picture that as counting as an armed attack. > Traditionall

Pretty sure if they were capable of that then they would just do it instead of threatening to do it. Nobody in the middle of an existential war threatens to attack more - they just attack with everything they've got. After all, they al

Quantum computing is cool, but a lot of the people who were hyping it last year were absolute charletons. They were promosing things that quantum computers couldn't even do theoretically let alone next year. Even the more down to earth

Honestly i think he was remarkably polite given the sort of crap we are talking about.

I randomly stumbled upon this today and thought it was cool so thought i would share.

I'm sorry, but that sounds like it would be a debugging nightmare when it doesn't work right.

It wasnt just that he was in his official residence, he was having a high level meeting with other senior members of the Iranian government. It seems likely the war started early (normally america strikes in the middle of the night) simply

Almost certainly not AI due to the age of when it was written. However its a very simple script. I think its certainly within the realm of AI to write a short script that makes a few api requests.

Nothing was rolled back in the db sense, i think people just used normal wiki revert tools. It also never effected wikipedia, just the smaller meta site (used for interproject coordination)
