I feel like the RPi reps were incredibly condescending and rude in the thread. Starting with the immediate closing as a support request they were off on the wrong foot. Once they reopened, if people are looking for one place to follow for &

I'm a bit in the same boat - I'd like a heads-up that something like this or last week's "Crack Me If You Can" is coming up, without drowning in a sea of other NetSec/InfoSec/OpSec/PhysSec chatter. An

The self-description of "Shudu Gram" as "world's first digital supermodel" ignores the history of Lara Croft's spread in The Face magazine (in Versace, amongst others), or the likes of Hatsune Miku and more Jap

Anywhere I can, as long as I can confirm the info is useful and correct. Survival is sourcing primarily from stuff like the Boy Scout Handbook, the SAS Survival Guide, a few other online resources and a farmsteading book from the 60s-70s th

Three volumes planned (Survive, Thrive, Expand), but given the overall scope that seems like it's gonna be difficult. The third is very grab-bag because it's "everything else" - there's no end to what could go in th

How can we document "human society" in 1000 pages or less? I've been casually researching for a while, and will eventually write a guide on going from zero to the moon. Step one is survival, basics of hunting, first aid and f

Yes? That's exactly what it's for: finding patterns that are too hard or too complex for humans to find. Enumerating every edge case of "enter a password" is not possible for a human, and whatever edge cases we humans mi

How do you justify opt-out versus opt-in for publicizing this info? Do you not see the potential harm in "ammon is looking for a job" showing up to someone you work with?

Certainly have them check out the WiMLDS job board for positions that may fit their expertise, or contact SigOpt since they seem to be in the same space. I'm not affiliated with either, but know some good folks from both.

If you write software for your research then yes. Just as I would expect you to have a solid basis in statistics, you need more than a 101-level competency in programming / software engineering if that's what you use to do your jo

Do you need a CAPTCHA? Or do you need to slow down / stop spammers? Consider hashcash [1] instead of CAPTCHA if #2 is your goal. It can be used in any place where real users interact with your site at almost zero effort on their behalf

What's novel about this? If you have a background picture, you have all the info you need to identify your subject - just plain subtraction. I think this is what the Photo Booth app on my circa-2012 MacBook does, quite effectively.

I would argue against all of 1, 2 and 3. 1. Anything AI/ML-based that can be applied to COVID-19 will be. 90% will be useless, but some percentage will pivot to these applications as their new business model. There may be some others t

The prompt is to allow use of your camera. Do you expect it to make you waffles? What exactly do you think will happen other than _using your camera_?

Did that new resolver finally happen? The pip SAT-based solver was supposed to land in 2017 or 2018 after a GSoC, and nothing came of it. Is it finally going to use a different heuristic than "#yolo" for picking which version of d

I'm curious if Mr. Hunt has ever been through either side of a diligence process. Everything in his list sounds like what you need to check the audit and compliance boxes at any "real" company. I've been through a dozen

Yeah, this one seems like the simplest answer. the redundancy of the plaintext HTTP headers included in each and every request can be exploited in order to reveal the length of particular components ... so randomly change the HTTP

You've got to be kidding. https://wpvulndb.com/ Six security vulnerabilities in core WP just last month. It's still a mess, and every plugin gives it a bigger attack surface.

I'm disappointed that PrimeCoin didn't really catch on. It's mathematically sound, relatively quantum safe, and produces useful output. Any improvements to factoring or finding prime chains would be genuine advances in the fi

This site would be roughly $free to run through CloudFront on AWS, which would scale more-or-less infinitely at a sublinear cost. Their free tier covers 50GB of transfer and 2mm requests. If you need an extra 50GB as indicated elsewhere in

The object is a good idea. The PR and selling around it isn't. Everything in the story belies the main claims of the article, and that's the only problem I see - the difference between hustle and reality. This is exactly the ethos

Saying that local dev and Lambda are different is a strawman. How is that harder than developing on a Mac or Windows (or even Linux) and then testing on a different OS and config via CI/CD? You shouldn't be testing "on your m

You select N from M, in order, where M is "too big" and N fits in memory / swap / disk. You then shuffle your N selections to get random ordering.
