Nothing in this video is super groundbreaking if you’ve taken a typical physics class that includes some E&M. That said, the demonstrations are pretty compelling and well executed. I particularly liked the use of an IR camera to visuali

Not sure what you mean? You could still fine the corporation, or block/revoke approvals. Unsafe/stupid driving is accepted as inevitable and rarely enforced against for human drivers (outside accidents). Not a good thing, but defi

This article is making a mountain out of a molehill. The crux of the article seems to be “wow! If you block traffic it really adds up to wasting people’s time!”. Duh. Lots of things do this, many less valuable than driverless cars. As an ex

GCE passes through GPU hardware instead of using vGPU. (I believe, but not 100% certain this is universal for all GPU types.)

Wouldn’t this not be carbon capture if the end product is biodegradable? Naively, I’d expect this to be carbon neutral at best.

In 2020 I bought a Netatmo CO2 sensor, since it was cheaper than the alternatives. Not sure how accurate it was, but it seemed accurate enough (450-500 outside). Live in the PNW with only electric heating/stove/oven. Cracking the

Pretty long and haven’t read it all, but worried about a sort of survivorship bias. You’ll see more cards from games that go on longer with the methodology described. That and some spicy uncontrolled multiple-hypothesis testing. Seems like

1:1’s are your time to make you more effective via your manager. Don’t only surface what you did (I view that as the boring back up conversation). Surface what you need. Surface challenges you’ve faced. Surface decisions that are on your ho

Zero-sum assumption and lack of returns on bets seem suspicious. Betting is a bad deal for everyone in this model (even the rich person) since each coin flip is variance for no expected gain. Kelly betting implies you should bet nothing in

A better WebMD already exists, and it’s called UpToDate. It’s target audience is doctors, but you can pay ~$20 for a week as a consumer (you can pay less per week for longer also). It’s a great resource, and has a summary of the most recen

SGX’s per-chip private keys are the “flag” in Intel’s unintentional CPU vulnerability CTF. Those keys have been popped so many times. Reading the original they explicitly state that side channels are out of scope for their threat model. As

Well, that’s what I get for skimming poorly. They did just slap an off the shelf infineon chip in, so yeah, real EKcert from a legit vendor. I skimmed and had some wishful thinking that they just made a cheap off the shelf chip do the job o

Superficially, you should be able to make a fully compliant TPM2 on your own like this (unless I’m missing something). The one gap would be that your EK Cert would have to be self signed.

Used dice, and got very low "randomness" both times (8% and 25%). Hand-rolling got me 70%. Something feels off.

PCI-passthrough support for gaming is pretty niche (I say this having set it up myself), and I can understand vendors not wanting to support it. Those support tickets would be a pain. Gaming VMs are likely going to die anyway, at least for

The motherboard wasn’t broken per se, you just were trying to split an iommu group apart, which is insecure (and thus unavailable by default).

There’s more to an interview than algorithms (e.g. coding, communication), so it’s not a death sentence. In the hundred or so interviews I’ve given, I’ve never had a candidate persist in forcing questions along these lines from the very sta

I’d turn that question back around at the candidate, unless it were for a junior candidate. I’ll give hints if the candidate is struggling, but I won’t just come out and tell them something like this. If they pushed me hard enough at the st

Bunch of problems like this are in the book "Problem-Solving Strategies" by Arthur Engel [1], I believe even including this particular one. Fun book. [1] https://www.google.com/books/edition/Problem_Solvin
