News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

It's pretty obvious it's real. Cheaper than CGI and better looking.
Very insightful take.

But the ad also caused me stress, and I own no Apple devices, nor am I a fan.

So there must be more.

Re:Why Use ECC Memory on Wednesday May 08, 2024 @01:27AM (#40294638)
Another problem with on-die ECC is the lack of reporting.

You have no idea if you have tons of errors and how many were corrected.

Helmets are also overrated.

I've fallen many times and not once I've hit my head. They are probably useful in high speed impacts, but then you are fucked anyways.

Gloves are much more useful on a daily basis. Saved my hand many times.

You cannot conclude, but at the same time you should increase your probability of causality.

Keeping it unchanged is another kind of logical error.

Sleep might have multiple purposes.

There is some recent research that some chemicals are flushed through the brain during sleep to remove byproducts. Why that can't happen without sleep is another interesting question.

Re:Systemd Wants to Expand to Include a Sudo Replacement on Tuesday April 30, 2024 @03:18AM (#40208117)
Wouldn't it be funny if it turns out systemd is the world largest xz style backdoor engineered over 15 years.
Even if the real origin is identified, that news piece will have much less circulation that the initial suspicion that it's Chinese.

So there are also PR reasons to create a fake trail.

The best lie confirms your confirmation bias. Everybody heard about the Chinese hackers attacking US, Ugandan hackers however would raise a few eyebrows.

Re:Japanese yen weakens to 160 against the USD since 1990 on Monday April 29, 2024 @01:48AM (#40194887)
People have been talking about this mythical yen weakening for 35 years now.

It's called the widow-maker trade (I know, technically it's about the bonds not the currency)

US datacenters are built with computing hardware produced in other countries.

Labor too, TSMC had to bring welders from Taiwan for it's US fabs.
