Both parts of this statement, that this has been addressed and that State Farm does not "engage in this sort of activity", appear to be false? Elsewhere in the HN thread, other people note that the exact same thing has happened to them.pic.twitter.com/soNsrfh4jU

Cool! Am I hitting some cached CDN assets that haven't expired yet or is the page now 39MB? https://webpagetest.org/result/200102_P3_84c38f74a597d3f5f67b64f1afbacfc5/1/details/#waterfall_view_step1 …pic.twitter.com/fpkOWe8HYC

Google Design's "Best of 2019" page is 64MB, takes 98s to load the "2019" that's the main visual element above the fold (from a Cable modem in Australia). https://webpagetest.org/result/191230_TP_be737ced75c39478259d0200bcbf7fc9/ …pic.twitter.com/BGAhqVArtd

Interesting indirect argument for pair programming https://www.jefftk.com/p/two-headed-go pic.twitter.com/DZfMclTztz

Huh. I guess this is why it was so much work to maintain a working Octopress/Jekyll install back when I used Octopress (speaking as a non-Ruby dev who didn't maintain a Ruby dev environment and relied on system packages as much as possible)? https://lobste.rs/s/6ame3m/developers_shouldn_t_distribute_their …pic.twitter.com/izbolEDSwB

BTW, if you want to try CPUID spoofing without virtualization and have a VIA processor, Agner Fog wrote this little utility: https://www.agner.org/optimize/blog/read.php?i=118#73 … Performance delta on benchmarks varies, here's an example of a ~50% gain (47%): https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2008/07/atom-nano-review/6/ …pic.twitter.com/gLK1cESeRz

This kind of thing is why the CPU startup I worked for allowed users to change the CPUID: you get huge performance gains from putting GenuineIntel in CPUID(0), but it would be a copyright violation to distribute our CPU with GenuineIntel in the CPUID https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/hpc/How-To-Use-MKL-with-AMD-Ryzen-and-Threadripper-CPU-s-Effectively-for-Python-Numpy-And-Other-Applications-1637/ …pic.twitter.com/HRduiSyypU

A system for coordinating U.S. nuclear weapons moved off of 8-inch floppies earlier this year, 2 years late. Coincidentally, the original deadline was around when Google Cloud's product roadmap PM said that 1 year deprecation should be enough for anyone. https://www.gao.gov/assets/680/677454.pdf …pic.twitter.com/owJ40GuJzT

Oh, I should update the link now that slides are up! It's slide 4 of https://www.simula.no/sites/default/files/publications/files/fse-keynote-2014.ppt.pdf …pic.twitter.com/0CrQ6jsttV

Ok, I read the rebuttal in detail and it's as bizarre as the original paper. Just for example, consider the screenshotted quote. What could "We were the first to correct our work immediately after noticing this very issue" even mean? This makes no sense.pic.twitter.com/NMxO10unGq

Yeah, it's better, but IMO the methodology is fundamentally bogus. But even if the methodology could work, the errors in the paper are bizarre. Confusing memory safety and implicit coercion, statements like the screenshot, etc. None of the 4 authors noticed or knew better?pic.twitter.com/MZdX6rpPF6

How secure is hardware disk encryption? "In order to to recover the data from a locked MX100 drive, we connect a JTAG debugging device. Then, we use it to modify the password validation routine in RAM so that it always validates successfully" https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP2019/papers/310.pdf …pic.twitter.com/bfZOQ8ywFN

One thing I think is interesting is that increased scale doesn't seem to help here. Despite Zuck's bluster, I get about the same amount of spam in FB as I get in Twitter and Gmail sends me more spam than either despite probably investing much more effort in spam prevention.pic.twitter.com/LPUECycJ5n

There are so many smoking guns I don't even know which one is my favorite. Maybe the time that Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple) got Eric Schmidt (CEO of Google) to fire a recruiter who accidentally violated the wage fixing agreement. The CEO himself made sure the recruiter was fired.pic.twitter.com/JV1bORf3JA

Since the most common response is that companies have little market power and therefore must pay well: Remember the time when Google, Apple, and almost every major tech company other than FB created and wage fixing agreement? https://danluu.com/google-wage-fixing/ …pic.twitter.com/26rWLLUZTT

If it were just that quote, I'd say that he says "places that pay more are bad", but this is a common theme for him and he also says things like the following and generally complains that other companies are paying too much and ruining the job market.pic.twitter.com/Y98EoKqMqf

The median chip I worked on had more novel design than the P99-novel software project. We were able to set and hit schedules. Ditto for my optics work. Software isn't really unique (no, not even in the grandiosity of its practitioners).pic.twitter.com/GLLaoGSzY7

People say dynamic programming is a ridiculous name, and it is, but at least it's merely meaningless.pic.twitter.com/vqz7qRD74N

Periodic reminder that basically every "RISC is obsolete" / "RISC is unscalable" article is based on a faulty assumption. RISC has never been about not having instructions like FJCVTZS.pic.twitter.com/1ozoH5MWgL
