    Somewhat depends on your threat model. The relative value of an iCloud/aws/gDrive 0day is going to be higher than Nextcloud. If you’re in the category of people concerned about thi…

    Agreed. The breakdown is indeed pretty poor IIRC. Generally you use these disclosures to make directional decisions about infrastructure. The list of fixed and disclosed CVEs combi…

    I originally wanted to do this but the CVE history is a bit too colorful for something I’d want to trust as a “cloud replacement”: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=…

    Looks like an ICOM IC-V82. https://batteriesamerica.com/collections/icom-ic-v8-ic-v82-i...

    Frugality. Your cost per hour is reduced. Learn and be curious. If you’re working on the weekend, you get to do this 24x7.

    At least they get to keep their two days of WFH. New policy - five days RTO, two days WFH, per week.

    I noticed this too and I am afraid they wont ever release this on the web app since they seem to have the best lane and road mapping data.

    It does. You can tax loss harvest from companies that you own, so it makes sense to have a bunch of bets that are money pits.

    Can it? You still need a ton of very expensive infra, engineering, ops to manage all of this. Waymo has clearly been playing the “but it’ll be cheaper” game for a long, long time n…

    It’s not a grammar fix, it’s a sentiment fix.

    There are a ton of operational costs that Uber/Lyft have lobbied to give to cheap contractors with no benefits.

    I think the title is missing a word: “Alphabet _has to_ invest another $5B into Waymo”. I’d like to remind everyone that it’s still a taxi business with taxi margins (best case).

    I think the companies cited in this article might be weird to compare. Apple is very RTO heavy because they’re an old school hardware company. Hardware work is easy to demand in of…

    Looks like their NPU (aka ANE) takes up about 1/3 of the die area of the GPU. Would be interesting to see how much they’re _actually_ utilizing the NPU versus their GPU for AI work…

    CHERI vs MTE is a bit of a nuanced topic. At least one part of the limiting factor for MTE is that you get a finite number of tag “color codes” which opens the opportunity for some…

    I eventually need to publish an article about how to run an HSM backed root CA on the cheap with m of n auth. Using nitrokey and some glue scripts you can get the cost below $500. …

    I really don’t understand what people are gaining from telling others what to do. Flexibility buys freedom for all employees to live the lifestyle they want. As long as it does not…

    It is unclear who wants RTO, at least within tech and other leaders whom I know within tech.

    Tbh Cryptography Engineering by Niels Ferguson is a very good and practical intro to this topic.

    Often times signature checking is fused in during provisioning. That is to say, if they had it enabled before there is a good chance they’re unable to disable it. You’ll probably n…
