What happened to the Metaverse?

I don't know about the others as I used Terminal.app on mac since Panther, but Ghostty has been a pretty good upgrade, at first offering 24-bit colour which Terminal.app didn't have at the time of its release. I also like the shell integration such as easy selection of command output. I don't ask much from a terminal as evidenced by using Terminal.app for almost 2 decades, but Ghostty has not once been an issue and is 'invisible' to me.

Is it 2^O(n) or 2^o(n)? (Edit: It's the latter according to the site, HN possibly mangled the title.)

Yeah. I love my 16" almost max specced out, but for travel I wanted something lighter and compact so I got a 13" m5 mba.

Love both.

You mean even for the air?

Can't see the article because of paywall.

Why are jobs on the line in the first place, is this some kind of layoff?

Nobody wants those jobs because they're illegally paying below award wage and the work conditions are substandard. Domiciled Australians (rightfully) expect fair wage and decent working conditions.

I'm doing law school through an unconventional program called LPAB. You have to complete 20 subjects, each with a 20% assessment and an 80% exam, with only a 3 hr lecture every week and that's it. You don't really get a chance to ask questions and there's no tutorials or handholding.

While the assessment can be gamed, you must overcome the exam which are written and reviewed outside of the university, so the lecturer doesn't know what is on the exam, and the questions and exam papers are never returned.

Doing this I remember my undergrad and masters felt like I was coddled as there was a bunch of fluff grades in doing assignments and just turning up to class. The grade inflation was a farce as well.

There is research on actual Internet censorship, worth following the ARMOR IRTF group.

I'm sorry but the twitter link is the best I could find, hopefully it is viewable without login. I don't know of any workaround sites like nitter/xcancel that is in operation.

My take:

I have had this take but for things like exploiting with a DRAM interposer ala Battering RAM. They say it's a low cost attack, but the amount of obstacles you need to overcome (including having root on the system and physical access) is intractable to virtually everyone, and a nation state wouldn't go to that kind of gymnastics when it is more than likely there is a quicker and easier way in.

But this? I doubt any high value targets will be exploited in the wild since news travelled fast and from what I can see pretty much most took preventative action. Looks like pretty much everyone heeded the warning and suggestions. It'll mostly be a nothing burger like Heartbleed. There'll be of course low hanging fruit of unpatched servers out there, but anything of importance would have already had active maintenance and patching.

Now that Calif has released the details, I'm sure there'll be a contingent that can actively and easily exploit this, either now or very soon, with or without the guidance of LLMs.

But yeah if someone said Battering RAM, I would say fuggedabout it, but if someone said PHP vulnerability with a CVE of 9.2, I would say patch it ASAP or bring the servers down until you can.

I'm guessing this is the code:

The box, the box, the box!

How about a page for all those DNSSEC outages?

Yep I had a Riva 128 and Voodoo 1. The Voodoo 1 graphics was way better.

I'm guessing affinity towards prime curves vs cofactor.

Meh, boom and bust cycles.

How well do these multi-column resumes work with resume scanners used by ATS and the like?

We've tried a few things but it hasn't really helped.

When it goes offline I get the following error on the Flint 3:

    # dmesg | grep -i '54:EF:44:5C:BC:B1' | grep kicked
    [3356208.016938] wlan: [0:I:ANY] [INACT] vap-0(wlan0): [54:ef:44:5c:bc:b1]station kicked out due to excessive retries associd 4 (from target) reason 1

I'm pretty sure it is dodgy firmware on the Doorbell, but I couldn't get any actual support from Aqara on this, so I thought there might be some workaround I could do on the AP.

Really happy with my Flint 3. I like that I can SSH to root and do whatever I want.

But what really shocked me is how amazing GL.Inet support is. I think they're probably the best support people I've come across, helping me track down an issue I've had for months with an Aqara doorbell that intermittently goes offline, suggesting configuration changes, even logging into my router (with my permission) to diagnose things. Don't have to register an account in any support system or forum either, can do everything over email. Complete opposite to pretty much every networking vendor I've encountered both low end and enterprise.

Grace Hopper gave us COBOL!

I bought an Apple Polishing Cloth and it turned out to be counterfeit (no Apple logo embroided on it). Thankfully easy returns even 6+ months later.

No idea, but if the funding wasn't concentrated in PQ both commercially and academically, it could be spread to other areas of tangible benefit. All I see is bloated key sizes, retrofitting and re-architecture for an issue that isn't even in its infancy. I see it as akin to how cryptocurrency has taken mindshare and resources and hasn't produced anything useful to users.

My problem is the hype and fearmongering surrounding PQ is that it's taken away mindshare and resources that could be used for more relevant things in the cryptography community like more better/useful primitives and schemes. I'm not saying that there shouldn't be attention coming up with PQC schemes but it shouldn't hog all the attention and be foisted everywhere. But again, I'm not seeing the classic crypto doomerism everyone else spouts.

I didn't really find that the interesting part; more the (lack of) progress in cryptanalysis. I know there's been some brouhaha over the last few months that there's a target date for a CRQC (cryptographically relevant quantum computer) circa 2030. Rather than quibble about how it's feasible or how we should heed the threat, I'd rather just put money on it -- happy to bet anyone interested using the longbets platform.

I wouldn't go as far too call it janky. Just an openwrt with some proprietary stuff. I'm quite happy with it with my Flint 3 and it's not preventing my freedom to do whatever I want.

I also like Flint 3's skin on top of openwrt/luci, it's just easier and more convenient.

Never heard of rclone but probably not a Cryptographic right answer because encryption isn't always on.

Meh don't care about the actual PQ parts. I'm with Peter Gutmann [0] in that PQ is just a waste of time and draining resources that could be put to better use.
