Unfortunately most of the malleability is non-systematic (can't be engineered by a third party). Which means it's caused by the nonlinear dynamics between the genes and environment.

People forget that while having a meritocracy is best for society, society doesn't make decisions, individuals do. And those individuals make decisions for their own benefit, not that of society. Colleges strike a balance by having so

This would work better if you abandon the "connection model". However normal smartphones don't let you listen to packets while hopping channels and then injecting. Typically need root for that.

This is not a good way to do this. Tor exit nodes are public and may be marked for special behavior by the marketplace you are surveying. There is no reason to believe you are getting good information this way. The right way to do this woul

Sending B2's over china would be insanely risky. B2 stealth will not serve you in the middle of a sensor (radar) network. And taking it out with radiation seeking missiles may not be a reliable counter. They almost certainly have a net

Going online is a dealbreaker but if you really need it you could use ghidra to fix that. I had tried to find a conversion of their model to onnx (making their proprietary pipeline useless) but failed. Hopefully open source will render them

What message does it send when your government tries to impose costs on your preferred behavior while at the same time being unable to do it when you download a single app? The words that come to mind are malicious and incompetent. The only

EU regulations are sometimes able to bully the world into compliance (eg. cookies). Usually minorities are able to impose "wins" on a majority when the price of compliance is lower than the price of defiance. This is not the case

Iran never had the deterrent North Korea had. And by being a theocracy they heavily skewed any threat calculus against themselves. What they were doing, inching towards nukes, was a horrible move. In their position, you either sprint covert

A drone operator that is caught soon after an attack doesn't differ much from a suicide bomber that removes himself from the world during his attack.

The reason you would carry such an attack by drone is to escape attribution (and thus elimination/arrest), this becomes harder if you must launch the drone in close proximity to the target to evade a patrolling defensive drone swarm. Y

Current air defense approaches rely on non-reusable drones: missiles with rocket fuel. With reusable drones you can deploy expensive defensive drone swarms at scale. For example: radar drones, ramming drones, gun drones, etc. I don't s

Would you need to harden individual targets if you design and deploy a defensive drone swarm that is always patrolling? It will successfully mitigate the cheap flying drone threat as long as they aren't launched close to the target. Th

I'm sorry. Are you claiming the people who designed those functions made good choices? They altered the behavior of the function considerably for a single input value that is more likely to be a bug than not.

IMO you should assert it's not null. There should never be a circumstance where you pass a null pointer to a function.
78.
by cakealert 1y ago
This only applies to a situation where you have a function that requires dynamic checks for preconditions. I would suggest that such a function (or how it's being used) is likely a blight already, but tolerable with very few call sites

Xreal One removed the biggest problems with that tech, it's usable now. No more "jittery and unnatural feeling" or stupid dongles/pucks. They put custom silicon in the glasses which stabilizes things and optionally locks

There are certain times where compliance is waved off for the simple reason that even the enforcers don't comply and no one wants to inconvenience themselves.

Free trade has always been self serving for every entity in all of history. Those who have an advantage in trade advocate it and start putting barriers in place when they lose it. Much has been made of how tariffs hurt the economy, and they

SHA1 has a sloppy key/msg schedule. They could have just done a random permutation of words and been safe - it would have even been cheaper than what the ended up doing. Such as what BLAKE does.

I don't think there is much to be gained by Rijndael-256 (it requires 2 AES-NI operations with a shuffle in between anyway). There are more promising Feistel-like constructions on top of AES operations such as Areion: https:/&#x2

Pretty much all block ciphers (and therefore their derivative constructions) are iterated. The SHACAL-2 permutation though is much more mathematically unstructured than AES. It's an augmented ARX unbalanced Feistel design (w/ addi

Modern ciphers including AES subscribe to the philosophy of using a simple round and then repeat it a bunch of times. While this is most likely sound (due to the sensitivity to initial conditions aka avalanche effect) there is a small chanc
