As far as I can remember, people didn't really think much about it, after all without all the modern libraries the language was useless, and browsers were only marginally able to run Active-X and Java stuff anyway so people weren'

The attack depends on measuring the timing of resource-loading that in turn depends on the free-text search the attacker can get the victim browser to do on his behalf.

The weird thing is there seems to be a discrepancy between these publicized figures of millions of miles of auto-pilot on the roads, and the general feeling you get when you turn on the system yourself. I've used it on a Model 3 and it

Yeah, it seems the NN in this particular implementation just does edge sharpening (almost like a "dumb" algorithm), the interior of textures and faces etc. still seem to lack detail.

I think they tried to formulate it so it will sound less damning for them, like they want to make it explicit that what they performed their data analysis on is your anonymized personal information.

Maybe you don't feel the difference, but everybody around you might hear the difference :) The smatter of the keys of the thinner MBP keyboards is horrible in a cafe or office or train etc.. :/ Did they make them more silent in th

Does this refer to the GIF-parsing double-free remote whatsapp exploit discussed in detail on HN some months ago? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21135424

Seems like you confuse dark energy (needed to explain the universe expansion acceleration) with dark matter (needed to correct for the galaxy rotation curve)

Just for that reason there's no point really, you can just switch in the next generation FPGA (more or less) as the high-level HDL stays the same.

This is not accurate, Axis is NOT a small company by any standards, they have done ASICs since the 1980's and a tape-out there now is in the $10M range or more I'm sure, and then we're talking about the same amount in salarie

Haha exactly! No, I'm sure they could have accepted any Hangouts call or being coerced into accepting a phonecall as well. But truthfully what they wrote in the sendout was like I described - they outlined the procedure to go get the n

I have many friends who fly a lot more than me, and I've never heard any of them mention the type of airplane as an issue. Most of them don't know the exact model or even brand of "that plane that was grounded".. I guess

I was operating a fairly large AWS operation, and had the idea to at least check with G Cloud if they were interested (usually you get a boatload of free credits to startups). After 3 emails spread over several months I eventually got a not

I'm going to get the Valve Index with the new knuckles controllers, and do some UI experiments with these. It's pretty cool if you can use the individual finger movements to extend hand gestures. I'm also sure it will take ye

Dealers of Lightning is an order of magnitude more interesting than any other book in the genre I've ever read (mainly because of Xerox PARC of course). But for 90's stuff, Chapman: "In Search of Stupidity: Over Twenty Years

There are a lot of interesting applications that doesn't require a "computational machine".. While the carbon atom example seems excessively specific, there are other setups like D-Waves quantum computer that works in a sort

I keep using httpie for all testing and manual stuff, because with cURL (or wget) I have to continuously call up the help pages to find the correct options. In httpie it seems the philosphy is that you mostly use various non-option strings

I was one of the first who worked on embedded Linux, and I put the kernel and a user-space program in a device with 512kb RAM once. It was too tight to do anything useful with, but just barely. It was no problem doing useful stuff on a 2 MB

I was compiling the kernel for my boxes for the most part of the 90's and 00's and the funny thing is a sub-60-second compile time was always possible with the "latest gear". Like a 100 MHz pentium. Of course the number

If you mean two objects where the first has a singularity and the second "just" an equivalently heavy matter-object, strictly speaking in classical GR (as the only agreed-on current theory) the latter will invariably collapse into

Just get a time machine, put on your wifi and you don't have to think about it anymore, it will just backup every day in the background. You can easily restore into another macbook using the builtin restore functionality. Apples soluti

Yes I agree.. As long as the system can simulate the degraded plane, and is fast enough, it can brute force through a huge number of decision trees and scenarios in milliseconds to find the optimal. A human would do something similar but wi

As a completely sideways note, mass-gap in physics also refers to the property of some particles that they need a larger-than-zero minimum energy to start existing (their "rest mass"), as opposed to for example photons that can (i

The problem is, the scans (neither MRI nor CT) are specific enough to rule out danger of some stuff you find. So the next thing is you'll need to start taking some nice needle biopsies, being worried about them.. some things you can&#x

It's very easy to make a DDR interface in an FPGA, it's difficult to make it run at the mark speed... (but this observation is generic for all FPGA-stuff really, it seems easy first, it's just another language etc.. but you n
