This is cool, though it did make a mistake while converting hex number to decimal (0x132004 = 1253380, not 1249284). Proof reading this can be a big pain. It can detect those patterns out of a long piece string like nothing, yet it fails a

I think this one is especially worse, because TPM is a piece of hardware and is for security . The combination of the two alienates a lot of software engineers, like >90%. I've never met anyone in real-life who already knew how t

This thing isn't really complicated, because all the hard-lifting is done by the design of TPM, not even TPM chips. Measurements and integrity checks are proven to be mundane tasks, and, for security, it's a good thing. Even witho

Yeah, I agree overall, but my complaint was that the author was covering literally "desktop" usages. > The moral of the story is that today's software was designed targeting yesterday's hardware. The problem with CPUs

Just a nitpicking, but calling an Altra system "the fastest ARM desktop" is misleading. The CPU does have a huge flops number, but nothing "desktop" can saturate that many cores, especially when the system comes with a G

To be fair, these are invalid attack vectors in the first place. Attackers automatically gain the full access to desktop sessions as soon as a connection is made to the X server. It's already vulnerable by design, so there's almos

Pour in more AIs to solve AI problems! I mean, people used to do this with software (more code to the problem), but the strategy hardly worked in the long term. Without solving the actual problem, everything just adds up to more complex iss

Yeah, it may sound weird, but there were days when Go was considered a C replacement - which turned out to be quite false. There’s a dialect - TinyGo - sorta carries the old vibe(?), but the upstream never picked up the idea.

D is a GC-based C++/Java-like OOP language. People used to call it "a C++ done right", but it was never simple and didn't have any clear edges against its competitors. TBH, one simply should not build on top of C++ - it&

The time limit of 1000 years is the worst part of this paper. If the energy consumption literally grows 2% every year, in 3013, the humanity will be consuming 3.98x10^8 times more energy than now. If it's really the case, the dissipati

Yeah, it's just a tiny compatibility issue, but it's really a bummer that you're sitting on enough electricity to power a house for days and can't even jump a car. It's gonna be great if we can utilize all the juice

It's not the best example unfortunately. People do build custom headers by cutting and welding various pipes using off-the-shelf tools. Welp, ICE is an old tech (from 18c), so it doesn't take dark magic to fix a whole ICE car mec

A catch is that hydrogen does become much safer in high-pressure tanks, because, when such tanks are breached, hydrogen escapes so fast that it can't react with oxygen fast enough to burst into flame. To prove this, Toyota literally sh

My take is that GPT can only reason under a proper context. The model itself doesn't have any logical capabilities, but it can extend the existing context rather-logically by mimicking the logical structures encoded into it through tra

I really love the mosaic concept. I think it's indeed the missing piece for tiling on large displays. It's a kind of stack in usual tiling layouts, where all leftover windows are placed, but stacks tend to squeeze and deform windo

Yeah, and, on top of that, I think this can lead to smaller (and snappier) agent models, because we no longer have to encode every single piece of information into models. As we carve out more and more parameters and input data, AI developm

LLMs do logic by mimicking logical structures on the text level (and that's why they often need be ordered to do step-by-step for correct answers), so this one may also have the same ability as long as memories are properly utilized.
