You can put off upgrading for a year. Fedora N gets updates until Fedora N+2 is released.

People are bullshitting just the same about topics they know nothing about. They often also won't shut about when others tell them and even when they themselves know that they know nothing. To some extent this is necessary for humans t

If it was dangerous, we would know by now. As it is, we are still able to use the internet. Major outages would be all over the news.

Such damage is creeping and the brain can just hallucinate the blank patches in the vision away, until only like 10% of the retina is left and it just doesn't work anymore. These days, dumbass laserheads are the most likely to suffer f

It should definitely have been possible to see it from Bavaria. It was definitely visible in northern Italy. Big cities might have to much light pollution though. Let's hope we get lucky tonight.

Keep in mind that Andrej is probably holding back a lot of optimizations for the sake of keeping the code comprehensible!

I understand self-censorship, white lies, and similar social constructs are crucial so that people can get along at all, but sometimes it's important to be able to ruffle some feathers without fear of repercussions, for the benefit of

That trust should not rely on people having to censure themselves all the time, since that would be harmful for an organization's performance in the long run. And a lot comes down to how that criticism is delivered.

Yes, which outsources the problem to Charlie. Charlie has to firewall and lockdown that browser as much as possible to reduce the risk of Alice pwning Charlie, else Charlie's server could (among other things) be made to taint all outpu

By running a web browser on the server you are at square one again: running the encoder on the server, which is risky.

I think these days you'd have to deploy an NSFW detector model. And you'd have to silently reject the upload* and limit profile picture change rate, else the attacker could use the endpoint as an oracle to build an adversarial mod

The user could push the file to the endpoint directly without using the client-side functionality.

The incumbent approaches usually benefit from a ton of research that might or might not be transferrable to the newcomer. Even if many optimizations also apply to the new approaches, taking advantage of them takes a lot of work. For example

MoE is mostly used to enable load balancing since it makes it possible to put experts on different GPUs. This isn't so easy to do with a monolithic, but sparse layer.

It's possible to run it on CUDA. One of their examples shows how. But I found it's slower than on CPU. I'm actually not really surprised since running something on GPU is not a guarantee that it's gonna be fast, especial

That's pretty much how branching on GPUs already works.

It reminds me of the situation people used to face when they got Polio. Often, they got stuck in an iron lung for a while and quite a few also never ever recovered lung function, meaning they were stuck for life as well.

Of course it has to be used with another sandboxing layer to be effective. You don't have to create a container by yourself, a good desktop will do it for you. One such solution is Flatpak. Many applications don't work that great

I find Humility is a great name for a debugger. Many are the programmers that refuse to use debuggers and just stare the code down until it yields errors, under the assumptions that "good" code doesn't need debugging!

It seems that Hubris is not designed as a general-purpose operating system. Processes are defined at build time. The reason why servers can shoot back at their clients is reliability, not security. Errors are thought to originate from bugs,

Graphics pretty much boils down to matrix multiplication, and that's exactly what this thing accelerates. If it were a generalized accellerator, it would have to support other kinds of arithmetic as well.

It has to be. The capabilities exposed via the X socket are way too powerful since they allow the application to mess with any other application running on that X server. There are sandboxing solutions which give each applications its own X

That was indeed a bit silly by IT. They could have written a script that gives you a copy of the file and then deletes it after you're done with it, sort of like what sudoedit does. Or just let you sudoedit that file since they obvious

It was always possible to run Wayland applications via Weston, which has an X backend.

It kind of is, and it doesn't really have to do with an application not being trustworthy. It's a defense in depth approach against app that become compromised through exploiting bugs with security implications. The attack surface

It's in the very name: "Tiny-GPU". Since it's a demonstration project by a hobbyist, the author probably didn't want to implement the whole optimized rendering stack yet. On the other hand, they also left out some f

Since Java 9, the Java JRE does something similar: if a string contains only characters in ISO-8859-1 then it is stored as such, else the usual storage format (int16) is used.
