I was a 90’s hacker (teenager in the early 90’s deep into “hacking”). “Hackers” was clearly a movie for teenagers and released in the 90s, so it stands to reason that it captured some of that cultural moment. I did love it. However , Sneak

Having worked in this space for over a decade (but not in the last 7 years), your comments surprise me. Is this a smaller operation perhaps? In general, operator UX (HMI, human machine interface), is a an area that’s well researched and mor

Of course, but like so many of these things, it’s about compliance audits and insurance. Actual effectiveness is a distant concern.

I’ve been diving down the BYOD rabbit hole recently. At enterprise scale it’s not “hook in with your vpn, job done”, it’s got to be managed . Remote wipe on exit, prove the security settings, disk encryption, EDR. What this means for the u

Oh, I completely agree! We created “EngDocs”, as you say, and simply made the situation worse. An EngDoc is an obviously ludicrous concept, on its face. But by breaking down the silo in the biomedical example, each engineer becomes a bit kn

It looks like it’s because people latched on to that supposed “cut” in the video. I’ve watched this guys stuff for years, and was excited about this making it to the front page. Very disappointing.

What an interesting talk, and an interesting concept also. Open source hardware security; get the security researchers interested and fix the security defects. The “read the data out with a super expensive microscope” remained. Is there any

Yeah OK. Googling and LLMing around, it sounds like you’d need to use the proprietary Parallels to get hd scroll on a mac from the touchpad.

And seeing as Windows is now a nightmare, and I am a technical person, I’ve moved everything to Linux. Everything is still harder to get set up right on Linux, but it stays right. I’ve also found the LLM’s dramatically shorten the time

I don’t have anything to add, but just wanted to thank you for this insightful and deeply thought out response. The solutions you list do look like they would work and I hope we find the political will, sooner rather than later.

:-D I do love the image of hurling GPU’s into the sea! My suggestion was much more modest. Put down the phone and delete your socials. Disengagement is the ultimate act of rebellion.

Yes. A consistent total ordering is what you need (want) in distributed computing. Ultimately, causality is what is important, but consistent ordering of concurrent operations makes things much easier to work with.
