No — the victim app is code signed and the permissions and keychain access are tied to the cryptographic identity used to code sign. Replacing or wrapping or whatever here must hap…

Not sure I understand the risk here, and seem to agree with Apple this is a non-issue. You already have code execution in order to exploit this. You don’t get the cryptographic ide…

There are a few others. “Quite” comes to mind — “I am quite hungry” or “that meal was quite good” can mean opposite things, depending on the speaker region and even voice inflexion…

My prospective co-founders and I were pitching to a VC firm that was, on paper, a really good fit for what we were trying to do. The partner we were pitching to was, 15 years ago, …

Yeah, the docs are open-source, but aren't running anywhere. https://github.com/getcord/cord/tree/main/docs/server/routes

In Rust, it's considered a bug for any code which isn't using `unsafe` to encounter a memory error (e.g., to segfault). That bug might be in some underlying library (which is itsel…

For do not disturb, you can: settings -> focus -> do not disturb has a section at the top for allowing specific apps or specific people.

Can you elaborate on the complexity here for syscall entry on x86_64? (Or link to what you were reading?) Another commenter linked to Linux's own "nolibc" which is similar to, thou…

Glad you liked it! My co-author and I spent some time trying to find a good spread of questions covering different aspects of LLMs. And we were also surprised by how hard it was to…

(co)-author here. It was really interesting putting this together. We had some idea what LLMs/GPT-4 would and would not do well with, but were still surprised ourselves with a numb…

There are a bunch of online tests that help you see if you, with your ears and equipment, can tell the difference. http://abx.digitalfeed.net/ and http://abx.digitalfeed.net/list.l…

League of Legends (a similar game) does this -- no booths, only noise-cancelling headphones, for its large tournaments. There have been several major tournaments where the players …

The article discusses constructors and how to make them work under "Linking the C++ standard library". I wonder if placement new would run into the same linker problem that the art…

Indeed his videos are amazing . My recommendation though would be to start with the "beginner" video -- which is completely 2D but at least gets some ideas across. Then watch https…

Author here. For what it's worth, I (mostly) think you're right! IMO heroics were a huge problem at that company, and are a huge problem at the company I work at now too. The grunt…

Author here -- thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Along with the above fantastic comment, I found https://apenwarr.ca/log/20170810 an interesting (if inflammatory/divisive) essay on the subject and its history.
