> Anthropic says Claude wrote the exploit "after initial prompting," that it runs "arbitrary commands as root, without any credentials or user interaction" on servers with a multipath TCP listener, and that in its proof of concept "it takes 48 minutes to leak a kernel pointer and another five minutes to reach the shell command execution."

This is wild. I'm a firmware nerd, not a backend nerd, what percentage of TCP/IP servers are 'multipath'?

Also, since IPv6 isn't affected, wouldn't it be funny if this is what it took to get everyone to switch.

should also mandate that the license plate data that constitutes a 'hit' must be sent and stored at rest encrypted so that someone can't break into a camera and see who's beeing searched for.

Anyone have an LG TV, access to ghidra and a desire to dig in and release open firmware? Because I have have everything but the TV

A good friend of mine (we'll call him G) worked at an auto body shop. An older client came in and was bitching about how his brand new Mazda (IIRC) kept freaking out when he changed lanes, and asked G if he could disable the lane departure warnings. G showed him how and said, BTW, these are supposed to be a backup for if you fall asleep - they don't go off if you use your blinker.

Dude bro politely asked G to turn the lane departure warning back on.

I don't have the citations to back this up anymore than you did, but it was also passed because of the rise in Black Power movements walking around with guns.

I used to be an obnoxious gun control advocate until I learned that California's gun control legislation was brought about in response to the Black Panther's patrolling predominantly black neighborhoods while armed to protect the people of the neighborhood from state sponsored (police) violence.

This topic is full of subtlty so recommend reading the sources from that article and so on.

I guess I must be an AI because I could not read that to save my life.

I wonder if this is like the “rotate an apple” problem.

Yes, I don't think that arresting people for the crime of not having money is a good idea.

We also cannot seem to fund any actual drug programs, because US citizens hate the idea of anyone getting something for free.

Ohhh the links at the bottom of this guys site are wild and good reading.

Please note I am disputing his science on the efficacy of a vertical fridge.

I’m interested in comparing the ratio of (accidents / miles driven) between the two.

Tesla seems like it has an engineering culture built around shipping whatever version of product they have at the date Elon announces, regardless of the quality (based on the engineers I have met who have worked there).

Without the context of “Antigravity” being a product name this headline is science fiction gold.

The site would be better if it linked to the actual regulation that prohibits each type of business instead of just making the claim “0 new factories of this type have been built”.

What does the author mean when they say “going along with woke policies”. Was I supposed to vote against my own self interest as a not cis straight white man? Was I supposed to fight against my trans friends being treated like people?

This article is a joke.

Oh hey, it’s the history of Indigenous people in North America (especially Canada and the USA) repeating itself in Greenland.

Make a biased test, call it impartial, then use it to ruin the lives of people who don’t meet some perceived standard.

Tell me how does reciting the alphabet backwards in a foreign language tongue mean one is a good parent?

Dang. This is one of those annoying cases of finding out something that I would clearly love exists only as it leaves.

I would have subscribed if I knew that the Farmer's Almanac still existed :(

We are in so much trouble as a society.

The real danger here is that ABC did it before the White House ordered or told them too.

Fascists rise in power the more scared we are to speak.

The first sentence tells you what you need to know. The leader assumes the worker is making a “web of lies” to get out of responsibility. This leader is trash. You need to listen to your employees and respond to their needs. If deadlines are being missed there is likely something wrong with the company; whether it be resourcing, time expectation from above or even just working conditions.

The NsF shouldn’t be rolling over to do what this new dictator in the US wants.

This goes way beyond DEI; that’s just the trap to get insecure white men to agree with it.

The NSF is “reviewing anything that goes against the stated national interest”. What does that even mean.

Article is paywalled but I think inverting the question is fun.

Why don’t small kids in other western countries ride the subway alone?

Good on them. I truly don’t understand how people can be against furthering diversity in a mostly homogeneous sector of society (corporate tech).

And this is why right to repair laws are a thing.

Also, genuinely I’d be interested in helping this guy hack his exoskeleton to let it work again.

What’s a woman in this case? Because that question asked in the manner you just did is inflammatory.

Or. And I’m just spit balling here. Plant super long lived trees. Redwoods live for >200 years. Eucalyptus grow very quickly and might be a good option too.

Yes and, I hate working with people who think this means you can literally say “you are stupid” and that this the same as providing helpful feedback.

If you are blunt to the point of being rude, then any communication you’re attempting is going to get lost behind the other person getting angry. People, generally, don’t think productively if they feel attacked, diminished or insulted.

You’ve gotta phrase what you want to say in a way that won’t elevate someone’s emotions beyond the point that they can actually hear your real feedback.

Depends on the microcontroller and the rest of your stack but it should be fairly straight forward.

Feed received frames from your MAC into the appropriate receive function in a netif, and link the output function pointer to something that sends frames to your MAC.

Examples for STM32 parts are so prevalent on the web that ChatGPT or Copilot can probably get you working source in 30 seconds.

Ask yourself why you want something that is made in the US. I have long had the same bias, and I am trying to understand it myself. Is it perceived quality of the final object? Do you feel that the environmental impact of shipping is worth overcoming? Do you want to keep money in local communities? Do you just think Americans make things right? What’s your goal here.

Also read about the too numerous to count HW kickstarter projects that 10x their funding goal and then still never deliver.

Also go read everything [Bunnie Huang](https://www.bunniestudios.com/) has written.

An important thing to take from this is that if you pay your teachers well, and also make sure that all the kids in school have a house (since military folk get housing for their families), and at least one parent is paid well, then the kids do well (and don’t write run on sentences like me).

4 profanity filled minutes of solid advice on how to be better at the slightly absurd job we call "engineering", or "development" or whatever.

Also, proof that some content from TikTok is un-ironically good (though I've posted a YouTube link to break through people's prejudices).

This was the most poorly written and blatantly biased article I’ve seen in a while.

I know what you mean. I fully deleted my 11 year old twitter account, and now I get almost frustrated enough to make a new one whenever I click on a HN news web article that links to twitter for context :/
