sunk1st··on Spain has become one of Europe’s cheapest power markets
Maybe it's cheap compared to other European countries but that doesn't mean it's cheap. Electricity in Spain is expensive.
sunk1st··on Project Glasswing: Securing critical software for the AI era
My impression from the article is that it took $20,000 to perform all 1,000 runs.
sunk1st··on Pipelined State Machine Corruption
> So now we rejected the MAIL FROM command and accepted the incorrectly addressed RCPT TO.

Which is the incorrectly addressed RCPT TO and why is it so?

sunk1st··on OpenAI's new reasoning AI models hallucinate more
What does that mean? Smart?
sunk1st··on How to write blog posts that developers read
Wouldn’t that be a regular pyramid? In what sense is it inverted?
sunk1st··on Why Does Integer Addition Approximate Float Multiplication?
Is it acceptable to use the imperative? That is, to say: “Now, invert the element”. Or should it always be, “take the inverse of …”?
sunk1st··on Archivists work to save disappearing data.gov datasets
I don’t see a list of the datasets that have gone missing. Is there a list?
sunk1st··on Accessing a DRM Framebuffer to display an image
Can this be done on Mac OS?
sunk1st··on CRLF is obsolete and should be abolished
> Nobody ever wants to be in the middle of a line, then move down to the next line and continue writing in the next column from where you left off. No real-world program ever wants to do that.

Is this true?

sunk1st··on Digital signatures and how to avoid them
That doesn’t matter. The claim being made by the grandparent post is that the legal system isn’t well-equipped to deal with scenarios like, “yes the digital signature is valid but it was improperly authorized.”
sunk1st··on No Salt
Time savings
sunk1st··on Astronauts take shelter in Starliner, other spacecraft after satellite breakup
What makes the one spacecraft safer than the other?
sunk1st··on Timeliness without datagrams using QUIC
It’s true that a stream-oriented abstraction puts constraints on the communication channel that don’t exist for a datagram oriented protocol.
sunk1st··on Silicon Valley's best kept secret: Founder liquidity
45 divided by three is 15 is double digit.
sunk1st··on Attacking NIST SP 800-108 (Loss of Key Control Security)
This appears to me similar to the attack against weak Fiat Shamir presented at RWC this year.
sunk1st··on How many photons are received per bit transmitted from Voyager 1?
Perhaps we should consider relaying the signal through a third satellite.
sunk1st··on How many photons are received per bit transmitted from Voyager 1?
In so many words, Shannon gave a proof showing that in general the sample rate of a digital sensor puts an upper bound on the frequency of any signal that sensor is able to detect.

Unlike the Nyquist-Shannon theory, compressed sensing is not generally applicable: it requires a sparse signal.

As with many other optimization techniques, it’s a trade off between soundness and completeness.

sunk1st··on Proteins let cells remember how well their last division went
Why those things specifically?
sunk1st··on Everything I Know About the XZ Backdoor
I don’t think it was luck. I think some people are so in tune with their systems that investigating an anomaly like this is a frequent occurrence. This particular anomaly just happened to have an explosive ending.
sunk1st··on Disrupting malicious uses of AI by state-affiliated threat actors
It’s silly that they do that. I doubt it matters, though. In my experience, querying ChatGPT for factual information like that is a mistake. It isn’t reliably accurate enough.
sunk1st··on Show HN: Emacs minor mode for connecting assembly and assembled code buffers
I think GP is just asking if the author thinks it’s possible. I remember it was hard in the beginning to know - when I would get stuck - if I needed to keep banging my head against it or if I had hit a dead end.
sunk1st··on How is a binary executable organized? Let's explore it (2014)
I agree it’s very nice. I’d also like to know how it was done.

Also if you click two bytes that are in the same caption group one after another then it bugs out.

sunk1st··on DOE: Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Virtual Power Plants
Yeah I think that’s why GP is saying it’s a poor choice of name.
sunk1st··on New finding might explain why quasars flare and fade so quickly
The point being made is that the title makes it sound like an observation has occurred that hasn’t.
sunk1st··on Some new snippets from the Snowden documents
What’s the implication? Sorry. I can see it going either way.
sunk1st··on Kitty – a fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal emulator
Unrelated to the putty fork, I take it
sunk1st··on Suicide of Richard Bilkszto
How do we get ourselves back to a state in which society at large is able to discuss facts?
sunk1st··on Jim Larkin, Backpage exec, has died
Thanks. Very sad situation. Hard to understand how those memos would be sealed away from use by the defense.
sunk1st··on Jim Larkin, Backpage exec, has died
I would like to read more about the circumstances surrounding the memo that the DOJ was successful in preventing from entering as evidence.
sunk1st··on Bootstrapping Atlassian: $10k In Credit Card Debt To $20M In Revenue In 5 years
Did you do that before or after GPLv3 was released?
