A fully compileable reconstruction of the EPathfinder autonomy stack (aircraft's perception and mission layer; i.e. camera processing, arming, self-destruction, ...); reverse engineered from forensic disk-images of several recovered Gerbera drones.

Mind sharing the use cases you're using IDA via MCP for?

Which exotic architectures is IDA missing from your perspective?

Well, Ghidra's strength is batch processing at scale (which is why P-Code is less accurate than IDA's but still good enough) while allowing a massive amount of modules to execute. That allows huge distributed fleets of Ghidra. IDA has idalib now, and hcli will soon allow batch fleets, but IDA's focus is very much highly accurate analysis (for now), which makes it a lot less scalable performance wise (for now).

Ghidra has a slightly different focus than IDA, so they're definitely not just using Ghidra :-)

> Warp, while excellent, requires individual approval for each command—there’s no equivalent to Claude’s “dangerous mode” where you can grant blanket execution trust.

That’s a lie. I simply added “.*” to the whitelist. It’s a regex.

The frustration seems justified.

Spending significant time adapting core kernel code or developing a safe Rust abstraction for DMA, only to be summarily shut down by a single gatekeeper who cites "not wanting multiple languages" is demotivating. It's especially incongruent given that others have championed Rust in the kernel, and Linux has begun hosting Rust modules.

If the project leadership — i.e. Linus — truly wants Rust integrated, that stance needs to be firmly established as policy rather than left up to maintainers who can veto work they personally dislike. Otherwise, contributors end up in a limbo where they invest weeks or months, navigate the intricacies of the kernel's development model, and then find out a single personality is enough to block them. Even if that personality has valid technical reasons, the lack of a centralized, consistent direction on Rust's role causes friction.

Hector's decision to leave is understandable: either you have an official green light to push Rust forward or you don't. Half measures invite exactly this kind of conflict. And expecting one massive rewrite or an all‐encompassing patch is unrealistic. Integration into something as large and historically C‐centric as Linux must be iterative and carefully built out. If one top‐level developer says "no Rust", while others push "Rust for safety", that is a sign that the project's governance lacks clarity on this point.

Hector's departure highlights how messy these half signals can get, and if I were him, I'd also want to see an unambiguous stance on Rust — otherwise, it's not worth investing the time just to beg that your code, no matter how well engineered, might be turned down by personal preference.

You should explicitly mention that this is your blog post, and that this is a "members-only" post?

As someone working in comint I can assure you that there's nothing special about MEGA compared to others in terms of flagging.

Selling a NYC skyscraper for 97.5% under market value? Yeah, that's tax evasion 101.

Reasons:

- Property taxes? Tanked.

- Capital gains? What capital gains?

- Money laundering? Check.

- Gift tax dodge? Probably.

- Transfer tax? Lol.

- Asset value shenanigans? You bet.

IRS gonna love this one. Good luck explaining that "market rate" to the auditors.

Or maybe, just maybe, this is tax evasion?

Surely, the loss of some user metadata is a catastrophe on par with the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Perhaps next time, the Internet Archive should consult their vast army of paid engineers and their bottomless coffers to ensure such a calamity never befalls humanity again. After all, what's the point of preserving vast swathes of human knowledge and culture if one can't access their personal bookmarks from 2007?

It's a lot more simple these days with modern iOS versions: https://schlaubischlump.github.io/LocationSimulator/

Absolutely phenomenal quality. Subscribed to the pro plan! Please add an option to use Claude as I absolutely prefer it to GPT4 and it's probably cheaper too.

That's about the Rewind Pendant which you're physically wearing, not Rewind the program.

I love how Windows Recall is essentially just a clone of Rewind that I’ve been successfully using to fight ADHD for a looooong time on macOS. If it’s remotely as useful…

Abused how? If you need sigint on a possible bomb threat you learned about via humint in the field and you're waiting for bureaucracy to happen, people will die, and they have died already.

As a German, and as a privacy conscious person, yes, I think it's worth it.

As a CTO of an AI company that does automated background checks for international compliance, .. jesus fucking christ, my job is 90% GDPR compliance at this point.

off-topic: did you know in Germany you need a court order to surveil Taliban terrorists ... in Afghanistan? Fun times.

Brothers in username.. :-)

> Answer the following question using verbatim quotes from the text above: "What material absorbs infrared light efficiently?"

> "Graphene is a promising material that could change the world, with unlimited potential for wide industrial applications in various fields... It is the thinnest known material with zero bandgaps and is incredibly strong, almost 200 times stronger than steel. Moreover, graphene is a good conductor of heat and electricity with very interesting light absorption properties."

Interestingly, the first sentence of the response actually occures directly after the latter part of the response in the original text.

Edit: asking it "What absorbs infrared light and converts it into electrical signals?" yields "Graphene sheets are highly transparent presenting high optical transparency, which absorbs thermal radiations with high efficacy and converts it into electrical signals efficiently." verbatim.

To test this hypothesis, I just took the complete book "Advances in Green and Sustainable Nanomaterials" [0] and pasted it into the prompt, asking Gemini: "What absorbs thermal radiations and converts it into electrical signals?".

It replied: "The text indicates that graphene sheets present high optical transparency and are able to absorb thermal radiations with high efficacy. They can then convert these radiations into electrical signals efficiently.".

Funnily enough I ran a 980k token log dump against Gemini Pro 1.5 yesterday to investigate an error scenario and it found a single incident of a 429 error being returned by a third-party API provider while reasoning that "based on the file provided and the information that this log file is aggregated of all instances of the service in question, it seems unlikely that a rate limit would be triggered, and additional investigation may be appropriate", and it turned out the service had implemented a block against AWS IPs, breaking a system that loads press data from said API provider, leaving the customer who was affected by it without press data -- we didn't even notice or investigate that, and Gemini just randomly mentioned it without being prompted for that.

I'd like to see this for Gemini Pro 1.5 -- I threw the entirety of Moby Dick at it last week, and at one point all books Byung Chul-Han has ever published, and it both cases it was able to return the single part of a sentence that mentioned or answered my question verbatim, every single time, without any hallucinations.

I operate several instances of magentico with 150m+ torrents (several years worth). Is there a way I could run Tribler on a server w/o UI?

Maybe they needed a German company to receive money from the BND for their user data without the US knowing :-D

But in all seriousness, I’ve been a subscriber ever since they started and I’m an ultimate subscriber still, and I’d be sad if they went bankrupt due to mismanagement of the funds.

and here's the announcement by the Human Brain Project: https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/follow-hbp/news/2023/08/...

Sounds like sidekick for binary ninja

We’re using HTMs for time series in our quant algorithms and they’re performing pretty well; it’s a shame that it’s mostly ignored my ML scientists..

> As the responsible manager for IT (usually CTO - internal SOX was a different matter) I have been "asked"

I misread this as "reponsible manager for IT [at Wirecard]", hence the question.

I was just curious and visited the LinkedIn profile that's linked to from the ctone.ws website (in KingOfCoders's profile) and was wondering why Wirecard was omitted.
