panpanna··on Problems with AI-based monitoring startups (2018)
You don't need ai for that.

Can't find the link, but there are a few projects doing just that.

panpanna··on Grindr to be fined almost €10M over GDPR complaint
I see this as a "it's so hard to run a business with all these rules" argument.

We both know rules are extremely clear and simple. They get complicated when companies try to go around them.

panpanna··on Golang's network stack attempts to parse HTTP headers as UTF-8
I know, I am just trying to explain how this could happen :)
panpanna··on Golang's network stack attempts to parse HTTP headers as UTF-8
This is awesome, thanks!
panpanna··on Golang's network stack attempts to parse HTTP headers as UTF-8
> That's a terrible reason.

Consider this: all strings are utf-8, so working with pure ASCII is much more work in golang.

It leads to all kind of issues, not only security problems.

panpanna··on Golang's network stack attempts to parse HTTP headers as UTF-8
Do you have any pointers to the PayPal hack?
panpanna··on Golang's network stack attempts to parse HTTP headers as UTF-8
Because in golang everything is UTF-8. After all, Rob Pike authored both golang and utf-8.

Now, what are the security implications of this?

(beside the chunk thingy)

panpanna··on Raspberry Silicon: Raspberry Pi Pico now on sale at $4
Yes, but what about Pi Si?
panpanna··on Raspberry Silicon: Raspberry Pi Pico now on sale at $4
Yeah, but give them a few days :)
panpanna··on Raspberry Silicon: Raspberry Pi Pico now on sale at $4
Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but there does t seem to be any flash on the Pi Si board and you have to combine it with a motherboard to use it?

(I see an IC that looks like a serial flash in the picture, but not mention of it in the text)

panpanna··on Raspberry Silicon: Raspberry Pi Pico now on sale at $4
If the $5 pi zero was any indication, you won't be able to buy any of these unless in a $35 package with bunch of useless accessories
panpanna··on Show HN: 100 LOC Ruby forward proxy using only standard libraries
This was downvoted, but I have seen some _extremly_ fast networking software in rust recently and wouldn't mind seeing some simple examples.

(I myself would love to code in rust - once the spec and implementation become more stable. Given the current pace, maybe in 2030?)

panpanna··on Show HN: 100 LOC Ruby forward proxy using only standard libraries
Forwarding UDP is a bit more complicated since you will have to keep track of "sessions" unless you are relying data between exactly two points.
panpanna··on Show HN: 100 LOC Ruby forward proxy using only standard libraries
I think yours does a lot more than OPs.

Go was made for this kind of problems. It is very easy to write efficient networking code on go that can be read and understood by mere mortals.

panpanna··on Google breaks the trillion-parameter ceiling with the Switch Transformer
This is impressive but also requires a lot of power to train.

If this trend continues ML will soon surpass bitcoin as the worst polluter.

panpanna··on Sosumi Snap – Download and Install macOS in Ubuntu
There are fully working osx vagrant images on GitHub, so why should this surprise you?
panpanna··on Kaspersky Lab Has Been Working with Russian Intelligence
Yeah, but has that affected their other businesses (such as their anti vitus?).

Otherwise, this is like saying IBM has done business with NSA. Well, of course they have.

panpanna··on FreeBSD src repository has transitioned from Subversion to Git
Oh, you would be surprised how common this is.

If you don't need access control, it's the easiest way to get started with source control for small teams

panpanna··on Linux 5.10 BTRFS performance regression
With brtfs having all kind of crazy bugs and zfs never being finished, I guess it's back to ext4...
panpanna··on Linux 5.10 BTRFS performance regression
Please understand that the rust memory and thread security mainly applies to "normal" applications.

In kernel, you can run a privileged cache or mmu instruction or a write to some magical memory position and all the sudden the "normal" rules don't apply anymore.

(But I think there are other parts of rust that are nice to have in kernel or any complex software).

panpanna··on Samsung Galaxy S II, released in 2011, has an unofficial port of Android 11
I think S II was the phone that made samsung THE android phone maker. Before that, it was sony and lg and htc and samsung all fighting to figure this smartphone thingy out.

Anyway, didn't samsung just release security patches for S6?

panpanna··on Cyberpunk 2077 Refunds
I am fairly sure sony prefers a buggy cyberpunk to a cyberpunk that is available on xbox but not ps4.
panpanna··on Cyberpunk 2077 Refunds
CDPR didn't create the hype. Witcher 3 did that.

Also, it's just a game folks. Get your refund and move on.

(In response to the guy who wrote he was crying himself to sleep every night after the cyberpunk disappointment)

panpanna··on The Ampere Altra Review: 2x 80 Cores Arm Server Performance Monster
Has anyone tried machine learning on this or the Graviton2?

I understand TPUs and GPUs easily beat these guys but it would still be interesting to see what raw cpu power can achieve in 2020.

panpanna··on The Ampere Altra Review: 2x 80 Cores Arm Server Performance Monster
Most (> 98%?) supercomputers run Linux. Has been so for many years.
panpanna··on Tensions in Google's ethical AI group increase as it sends demands to CEO
So basically Gebru was fired for turning Googles fake ethics group into a real ethics group?
panpanna··on Google Analytics Opt Out
So basically ublock is a better option?
panpanna··on Google Analytics Opt Out
I would rather have standard browser or web server attributes to opt out of analytics (google and others) and other annoying crap.

That would have been much more efficient than those GDPR banners and dialogs, but will never happen since it will be "too easy" to opt out just like the http "do not track" extension failed for being too powerful.

panpanna··on A new release for GNU Octave
Mate, octave getting sued would be the least of my worries if supereme court rules that way...
panpanna··on A new release for GNU Octave
Our university paid top dollar for Matlab site licenses. Nowadays students mostly use octave.

Termux is such a lovely project. Works also great on chromebooks and chromebook tablets.
