Yeah, that rule isn't very well described, but if you read between the lines: Play once had a table that was stale for 6 months, and refreshing the table alone gave a boost of 2% in install rate Your best engineers will tell

One thing that Windows (somewhat famously) gets is "developers! developers! developers!" Apple has a passionate, loyal developer community. Developers who create iOS apps use OS X machines to do it. They spend almost twice as much

Good analysis, but I think we should call out the "predictable catastrophic failures." Humans can see the scenarios below coming from enough distance to mitigate the problem and AIs have not yet demonstrated equivalence: 1. Slow&#

Though it might not be obvious to American drivers, this is the solution. There will always be that driver who attempts to change lanes mid-intersection to get into an opening first; that's part of what motivates American drivers to en

This is what the series of articles will say. The second article (apparently in Norwegian only, I plowed through the Google-translate version) just talks about the reactions of people to the new police-sketch of her face.

Fair enough, here is a google search term that seems to turn up some useful bootloader source code: "0x2098" "lgdt" Please chime in with other links to great bootloader tutorials!

So let me get this straight: 1. It's a given that somehow, somewhere, a nuke is going to get away from humanity. I'm honestly optimistic that it'll just be a reactor problem, and that we -- humanity -- learn every time one ha

Oh how you have changed, Apple! Vaporware announcements of future products? A ship that leaks from the top? And yeah, the Microsoft Surface Studio is the competition. Apple used to really own the high end, but I don't feel like they&#x

Ok, you are correct. Galileo was originally designed to use the same frequencies as GPS. Now they use different enough frequencies that Galileo can be jammed without jamming GPS. Of course, jamming both is also possible.

To all who are writing that the EU Galileo system is "insurance" against the US's regional denial capability, it appears you haven't thought through how they would do that. It would not be by turning off or fuzzing the

I have my reservations about this code. I am a long time free software developer so it is hard to say it but it seems clear to me that a single entity (from a legal perspective) has to "own" the self-driving car software. In the f

Exactly. In modeling the threat that the ME poses to a libre system, the ideal would be to have it "gone," such that it will never activate regardless of what is in the BIOS flash. That's not possible, but the next best thing

The FSP is a package (the P in FSP). It includes in it the ME blob. The other parts of it are things like DRAM init. It would take work to develop a fully libre implementation for any Intel chipset, but the biggest hurdle was (and is) the M

The ME firmware includes a Java VM so that other companies can run their secret apps inside the ME's environment (e.g. DRM crypto plugins). That is just one example of all the features included in the ME firmware, and none of it is pub

The phrasing there is confusing. Does the NIC break because the ME is neutralized? Then rebooting again with the ME neutralized will break the NIC again. Why would the NIC only break once after the ME is neutralized? The system is started f

This appears to be a legitimate ME neutralization. The ME is purportedly placed in "recovery" mode: According to Nicola Corna, the current ME state should have been changed from “normal” to “recovery”. Since the MEI interfa

The gold is at the bottom: The idea here would be to see if it was possible to control the NVMe over jtag in order to ask it to perform a DMA read over the PCIe Bus. In order to do so, the PCI_COMMAND_BUS_MASTER has to be set to 1.

It has been suggested several times on HN that another reason is that it attracts younger coders. Younger coders tend to be more willing to just follow the lead of the management, rather than ask "is this really going to solve the prob

Ok, using Intel's currently shipping 14nm numbers vs Samsung's currently shipping 10nm numbers from your source: • Intel: 13.4nm "standard node value" • Samsung: 12.0nm "standard node value" • TSMC: 18.3nm &quo
