sacrebleu

ita intuited knowledge, which is only later understood. (itzhak bentov, stalking the wild pendulum)

it could also be gamma rays or a variety of problems that seem to appear and disappear between chairs and keyboards.

memes are jokes. people taking jokes as something other is the problem.

trying to write about x86_64 (uefi, aslr, message signaled interrupts, lapic, acpi, iommu etc. etc.) and how to do platform init etc. to get ready for OS to execute. its a mess. its also hard to find someone who can proof read it and give meaningful feedback. (not many ppl enjoy this stuff i suppose :()

always nice to read about these things. i like the note on 'all tests were green'. it sounds like the test of this function only test for the good case right? it should also test a false case? or am i missing something here?

they do not, but the same argument can hold true by the fact the true human nature is not really known and thus trying to define what a human like intelligence would consist of can only be incomplete.

there are many parts of human cognition, phycology etc. especially related to consciousness that are known unknowns and/or completely unknown.

a mitigation for this isaue would be to call it generally applicable intelligence or something, rather than human like intelligence. implying ita not specialized AI but also not human like. (i dont see why it would need to be human like, because even with all the right logic and intelligence a human can still do something counter to all of that. humans do this everyday. intuitive action, or irrational action etc.

what we want is generally applicable intelligence, not human like intelligence.

his super power will be misunderstanding other spiders and prosecuting them for their otherness -_-

they are also very flexible

what privs u need to read shutdown log vs what privs u need to see running programs?

apple always trying to hide things and lock people more out of how the device works. they use privacy as an excuse and even sue and jail ppl who try to look at things properly.

try implementing the same without VST3 technology.

If you're planning to do that. Set aside a lot of time.....

interesting stuff. I love Yamaha for audio stuff for sure, didn't know they owned Steinberg though.

Their speakers i think are lovely examples of their engineering quality. Great and honest sound, some of the best out there, and they are not super over-priced. Also ,they are super repairable. Had some really bad experiences with other brands which were, more expensive for a more biassed sound, had 'black gunk' over the PCBs as some kind of anti-repair mechanism. (overheats the boards too! ew!) and other crappy issues.

Cool to hear there's such a story behind the quality. Makes sense!

still doesnt have anything to do with the webservers that used openSSL. If ferror was sanely coded and super secure but used openssl (or another vulnerable library for similar purposes --- does ferron roll its own crypto??) then it would be similarly impacted. it's memory safety features not useful since its using FFI to go into openssl.

not sure if there is already a true rust TLS implementation - that might be useful for such a case but would also make the point a moot-point since its just evading the risk by not using it, not by solving the issue of memory issues being present in third-party libraries.

its funny he mentions unsafe code in apache and nginx and then complains about openSSL bug (one thats more than 10 years old btw).

if this is a sense of the logic put into the application, no memory safe language will save it from the terrible bugs!

i wonder if these kind of rulings have actual effect or if its more just some hot air about it and NSO will keep to do what they do. i mean,they aren;t US based and if they do these kinds of activities i'd assume they understand its not legal, and thus wont care if its formally claimed to be illegal.

it would be handy to pick atleast a type of role you want to focus on, at first, this might not need to be where you want to end up eventually (can learn from the road).

also for people who might want to recommend jobs it could help to give a lower limit for compensation. what do you need atleast. and work hours.

i think coming from teaching there's a lot of work in research that might be an easy match up but that might not be the type of role you want.

for programming there are also different kinds of programming roles. automations, applications, mobile, desktop/server, embedded etc.

what makes you tick when you think of work or what keeps happy when ur doing it, regarding what you think you wanna do?

likely it could run on wine ? :D maybe... :P

WHOOPSY DAISY

this might have some limited uses, but you'd need to know how it was optimised, and also perhaps build the build engine for the same target and then decompile it to see what it looks like after that kind of treatment.?

perhaps with a bit of luck you'd get some useful markers / functions mapped tho, its not unheard of.

problem in my mind (didnt test it ofc) would be that the decompiled version is decompiled from a different ISA that build usually compiles to, so the decompiled version in my mind would look totally different. (you dont have the ported sources i suppose, only the originals).

better add IR too, and all the optimized variants of the ASM for the specified code etc. - its not as straightforward, but that depends also on platform. CISC is generally more wacky than RISC i suppose.

also, a lot of things in stuff like ROMs is about I/O to component in the devices, so you can disassemble and decompile all you want but without the right specifications and context you cannot say what the code does.

so it will also need all specifications of the hardware platform you are running the code on, as well as in this case perhaps even hardware in the catridge etc. (heard those also sometimes have their own chips etc...).

i'd say for 'regular application code' that runs within an OS it might be easier, but still you need to provide a lot of context from the actual execution environment to reason properly what the code actually does? (what does INT 80 run and possibly return anyway, that code is outside of your target binary)

Love the article thanks. to me it reads really reasonably. i work in a verbose language (C) and there its too easy to try and optimise things away to 'save typing' to a point it becomes actually more of a burden than an optimization.

Some good advices in here on what balance to strike with some clear examples. Always a good reminder :). thanks for the writeup!

Accept-Encoding i think would be logical on scrapers these days but maybe its not helpful idk. server should adhere to what client requests afaik.

i wouldnt assume someone sending 700 req per minute or so to a single domain repeatedly (likely to the same resources) will bother opening zip files.

the bot in the article is likely being tested (as author noted), or its a very bad 'stresser'.

if it was looking for content grabbing it will access differently. (grab resources once and be on its way).

its not bad to host zip bombs tho, for the content grabbers :D nomnom.

saw an article about a guy on here who generated arbitrary pngs or so. also classy haha.

if u have a friendly vps provider who gives unlimited bandwidth these options can be fun. u can make a dashboard which bot has consumed the most junk.

goatse, lemonparty, meatspin. take ur pick of the gross but clearnetable things.

mind you before google and the likes and the great purge of internet, these things were mild and humorous...

sad story but i have to say using it to try and pull away kids from their parents simply because the parents are of a certain belief or lack certain intelligence or schooling seems a very slippery slope. Ofc the UK is happy to jump on, slide down and get injured at the bottom of slippery slopes, but yeah... you cant force people to conform with your ideas and beliefs even if they are 'scientifically sound'.

however interesting this is i am sorry to say the moon _is_ made of cheese. otherwise very interesting and thorough read. thanks for the share / writeup. i hope this censorship stuff doesnt get more out of hand. its crazy to think a foreign government could put you out of business in such a way if your own laws or constitution protect you specifically on the same point.

the about is a bit convoluted. kinda like the idea but phrases like 'forging hyper-local connections' ...

whats the difference here between local and hyper local? i mean. it makes the whole thing kinda too fluffy to read. distracts from the main concept presented.

this is the best approach honestly. redirect them to some place that undermines their efforts. either back to themselves, their own provider, or nasty crap that no one want to find in their crawler logs.

thats traffic in the other direction

if they have some service up on the machines the bot connect from then u can redirect them to themselves.

otherwise, maybe redirect to aws customer portal or something -_- maybe they will stop it if it hit themselves...

chatgpt???

good catch! i wasnt able to find your item so i dispatched something randomly!
