You're clearly not using these keys in certificates, which would need to be signed by a root or interim CA on every update.

Can you share more detail on the exploit itself? Does the shell escape give you access to programs that require a paid account, or does the shell escape give you root access?

It's unclear why one would ever need to do this. Is it for power savings? What other use-cases would benefit from turning the FPU off between instructions?

This is a good point. Regrettably, most get pushed out of the current system before they have a chance to hone their skills. Society doesn't get to benefit from their best work.

How about we just ban the collection of precise geolocation? Wouldn't that be a better solution?

Then a PhD should not be given until a series of increments amount to something ground-breaking.

> Even if everybody had high education, companies would still compete for the best employees. There is no competition for employees because large corporations have agreed to not do so. Yes, but the degree itself used to be a signal. Of c

The problem is really one of supply and demand. Whatever SV talking heads say is a post-hoc rationalization on top of this basic fact. We have too many PhDs (I say this as one). It's never been easier to get one. Most PhD topics are in

That's still an immense amount of code for a chat interface essentially consisting of a text box and a button, which any OS (mobile or desktop) can usually throw up in a few lines of code.

You can do that now. Qwen-coder3.5 and gpt-oss-20b are pretty good for local coding help.

Academia is no different from any other profession or sport. Holding it to a higher bar than say, medicine, engineering, law or accounting, doesn't make sense. As an example, let's take soccer: All players will tackle if they thin

That same professor will happily take money from the student's startup to conduct research assuming it is successful and has funds to spare. That should tell you right there how the incentives are aligned.

If there's one problem that LLMs have solved, it's language. While an LLM may hallucinate, it does so in grammatically correct English sentences. Additionally, even the local version of gemma-4-26B can seamlessly switch between la

You're conflating system level abstractions with code-based abstractions. As a counter-example, introducing a factory constructor to handle object creation makes the codebase harder to understand.

We are soft robots (mostly flesh). The skeleton is a scaffold on which our muscles hang. It makes sense to try to replicate what works in biology.

You're taking it out of context. I'm specifically referring to abstractions introduced in the codebase to maximize code reuse, as per the OP's comment.

Hard disagree with the initial assumption: Abstractions do not make a system simpler. Note: I would have added usually but I really do mean always.

Can you share which company that was for our collective curiosities? I am hoping it was long enough ago and positive enough a story to reveal.

> The UI just doesn’t reflect this. That's the bug. Either that or MacOS has two separate/distinct mechanisms for managing permissions, which would be a huge security flaw.

No, this is definitely a bug. The Privacy and Security panel is part of Settings, which is definitely part of the OS. Saying the Open and Save panel somehow has priority suggests that the Privacy and Security panel is not looking at the sam
