The very useful TryFrom trait landed only in 1.34, so hopefully the code using unwrap_or_else() in From impl predates that...

Actually the From trait documentation is now extremely clear about when to implement it (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/convert/trait.From.html#when-t...)

So, what puts to buy... The actors likely to fall the hardest are unlisted... At list the .com ere had lots of IPO...

V2G can provide the short-term capacity. If one allocates e.g. 40 kWh from their battery to V2G, each million electric cars can add 40GWh of grid tied battery storage. If you pay people fairly, it will happen. There are more than 4 million electric cars in the EU already...

If your hot source is really hot, thermophotovoltaic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic_energy_conv...) makes sense and can offer much better efficiency...

Solving the Scotland/England interconnect under-capacity is well underway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_high-voltage_transmiss...

And no clear quantum Moore law emerging for the yearly increase in qbits (https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.15547)... The quantum panic pushes people to deploy immature solutions, and the remedy sure sometimes looks worse than the illness...

That only because that spend is misattributed. Much of the money spent on US "healthcare" ends up wasted on admin in billings, collections and haggling with insurance co... Aka, not healthcare. I'd be very interested to see American numbers without the absolutely insane admin overhead...

This is like the old IBM shakedown playbook "we have thousands of patents, if we dig enough we'll find one you infringe upon, so better pay for peace of mind". I do assume that like in the case of IBM, some companies do pay...

Limonov was here for ideological reasons. All sides had foreigners in their ranks of various motivations, from the mercenary and the adventurer to the strongly ideologically motivated. What is missing is evidence of people coming there for pure entertainment and paying for the privilege...

There seem to be clear admission of war crime, that looks like prime indictment material by the ICC, which could make traveling not so cosy in the future.

That wheel has turned. The king of long distance transmission is now HVDC, to be point of sometimes being used intra-grid and not just for interconnects.

Not to be grim, but he was the perfect age class to spend 4 years in the trenches...

The French males born in 1894 had a 92% mobilization rate (those who survived infant mortality that was still huge at the time). In 1920, only 48% of this age class was still alive (the big three killer being infant mortality, combat losses and the "Spanish" (Kansas) flu).

See figure 2a in https://shs.cairn.info/revue-population-et-societes-2014-4-p...

I took it many times, it didn't feel particularly dangerous but you had to pay more attention than on a regular moving walkway. What ultimately killed it was reliability, availability was too low. With more deployed I guess the kinks would have slowly disappeared, but the market just doesn't seem to be there.

802.1x-2010 includes MACsec. 802.1x without MACsec is mostly a joke, (802.1x-2002 IIRC) you just get a legit device to open the port...

It's a small city thing. In Paris and Lyon at least, some establishments have very extended hours or are even 24/7. And you can get a kebab at ungodly hours in even small cities.

Yeah, but it's not that simple, they certainly don't seem to outperform students of comparable socioeconomic background attending a more c https://gaither.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/new-ray-study-of-ho...

Big nipple actually.

You'd change the coin cell in an ESP32 powered garage door fob monthly... Unacceptable to most.

The world that the algorithm targets is exactly where is this doable. MCUs typically have a protected OTP area that makes it a good place to inject keys right in the factory.

Hammond didn't protest during a talk but clearly after its end if https://www.reddit.com/r/Defcon/comments/1mlaw4s/jeremy_hamm... is to be believed. And removed by venue guards not DefCon goons.

And he seems really well loved, as evidenced by https://www.reddit.com/r/Defcon/comments/1mlaw4s/comment/n7p...

Why? If you actually exit the sandbox you'll start leaving traces, and eventually you'll slip and be looked at. That's part of the story EDR vendors sell at least.

You can't deny that you are way more likely to burn the exploit using it on a machine under watch than on a machine that is not...

An exploit that is used is an exploit that will eventually leave traces that an analyst will look at (if used on a corporate PC)... Either you use it very sparingly on HVT or you end up on the EDR radars and some IOC will be made public eventually.

Some exploits are sold bag of cash under a table. See e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20651607

Your hookers and blow dealers won't report you to the taxman.

He had a pretty reliable exploit on the most used browser, pretty sure it he could have gotten more tax free on the black market.

Now, with EDR widely deployed it's likely that the exploit usage ends up being caught sooner than later, but pretty sure some dictatorship intelligence agency would have found all those journalists deep compromise worthwhile...

Wait, the obviously wrong paper was written by GPT-4? https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.05689 (from the comments on the original blog)

"All of these findings are no surprise to me. But here’s a surprising finding: not a single woman in the public setting passed, while every woman in the private setting did."

Dunno if the study has enough statistical power but that's an absolutely horrific result. A great talent pool is mostly discarded because of a faulty process...

The ammo thing is for the service rifle. Switzerland also has a very high private ownership level at least compared to the rest of Europe, and by they can keep ammunition at home (but secured, like the weapons).

Does it kill the idea of a tokamak as an energy production device? As in a stellarator proving the much more promising design...

Whoever came with those policies doesn't seem to get that the harder you make responsible disclosure the more attractive irresponsible disclosure is, and easy enough to do anonymously. The policy stems from a deep culture of CYA and will instead find them pants around the ankles soon enough.

If they do so Tesla is a regular company and should trade at a regular automotive sector P/E ratio, so what, one fifteenth of its current valuation ? That's a hard sell to investors. They are likely better off keeping that plane flying as long as possible hoping for a miracle, then crash, than soft landing, so are Tesla insiders, each quarter passing means more stocks dumped.
