Stop posting this AI-generated word salad. This was an XSS attack. A malicious script was executed inside an admin’s already authenticated browser context, allowing said malicious script to place itself into public facing pages. Nothing to

It’s a python file from chardet 6, doesn’t matter what you think it does. It clearly wasn’t a clean room reimplementation.

Turns out there’s no need to speculate. Someone pointed out on GH [0] that the AI was literally prompted to copy the existing code: > *Context:* The registry maps every supported encoding to its metadata. Era assignments MUST match chard

You’re kind of losing the plot here. The original topic was whether Anthropic can set conditions on a contract with the government, which they obviously can. If Anthropic says “we won’t sell this unless you agree to X safeguards,” the DoD c

Very satisfying. I ripped out the load bearing piece and everything stayed standing except for the tiny pieces at the very top. Doesn't seem so bad according to the simulations, maybe we could use a good shakeup?

Macros in Rust have nothing to do with memory safety. They're typically used for compile-time codegen (derive, println!) and very occasionally for syntactic abstraction (vec!).

Got some bad news for you. Apple sitting out the "AI" race is just a skill issue. In fact they're buying their way back in: https://www.reuters.com/business/google-apple-enter-into-mul...

“The smartest people pursue whatever is incentivized, therefore the current incentive structure is humanity's greatest calling.” Yeah, no. The smartest people on earth didn’t convene and design this system. What we have now is just a f

Sure, some PR and self-promotion are usually required to move things forward. That doesn’t make it a grand or particularly deep problem, and certainly not the primary thing to optimize for.

It’s so jarring to hear this reality-detached writing style coming from someone who’s otherwise a great systems thinker. This is like my worst nightmare as a systems engineer: that years of navigating bureaucracy at a place like Intel slowl

Regardless of your opinions about the author, that’s a pretty shallow and condescending take.

From our knowing how it works [0] it’s just a mechanism for the kernel to give up some privileges and add extra security checks when modifying page tables. Sounds easy to emulate to me: just don’t do the checks and modify the page tables di

Afaik this isn’t quite correct either. From what I could gather from the CCC talk and forum posts: The Apple specific instructions to talk to the SPTM are only usable in the GL2 privilege level, not EL2 where you end up after booting non-Ap

It’s surprising how quickly the bottleneck starts to become python itself in any nontrivial application, unless you’re very careful to write a thin layer that mostly shells out to C modules.

Humans don’t have a single utility function like bacteria adapting to antibiotics do. When one constraint is relaxed, a fractal of others emerges. Behavior dominates any evolutionary effect. That’s exactly what we observe in rich societies.

Then let’s be precise about the claim. If you’re saying “phones can’t replace VHF radios or repeaters for reliable long-range comms”, agreed. Nobody disputes antenna theory, and nobody is arguing for unregulated or high-power transmitters.
