Just had the pleasure of listening to a Turing Award winner, and to answer a question about how to know what issues could come up. His response, "Read science fiction!" helps scientists imagine the future. I'll take his advic

It is a bad thing and anyone who thinks otherwise is acting in bad faith.

Yeah in other professions negligence can lead to jail...

Yes, to an extent, but I would say that is an extension of artillery and long-range fire capabilities.

Hmm, an interesting pattern is that every queen is a knight's move away. I haven't thought about this problem since I started dabbling in chess but now looks like a simple pattern.

Exactly! Unfortunately people lap it up as some ground truth when it is a dude providing a theory and as you said “selling it”

I would recommend reading about the Friedman Doctrine and the time period where it came about. It is only a theory and not necessarily a good one.

The ignorance on this site is a sight to behold at times. A further risk to the aircraft and crew is not to be taken lightly...

As mentioned the paper was accepted in NDSS. https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss2025/accepted-papers/ The conference occurs in Feb, and typically, the conference proceedings are published a little earlier than the

Any decent consumer SSD will be exactly the same, brands such as SK Hynix, Samsung, Crucial, WD, etc. same chips and same performance, much cheaper than the Apple tax.

Pour-over funnels have glass and ceramic options, and the coffee turns out quite tasty.

Crazy to think the people who come to US universities to obtain post-bachelor degrees are more qualified than those who didn't... This is purely anecdotal, but my experience at a top institution is that the majority of CS/ECE of

Shutting down airspace around Joint Base McGuire–Dix–Lakehurst makes sense if gunnery is happening.

100% correct, but most of those, like the GP sadly, aren't really gonna pay attention.

You're last line is why Larry Wall made Perl. I feel you!

take a look under the hood for any Linux distro

Because if you aren’t writing in python or JS/TS then it is gibberish. Not like Perl is used all throughout Linux system…

I would say about 95% the software on my MacBook have nothing to do with the App Store. Whether for work, research, normal student stuff.

At this time, the idea of a constant-time operation embedded into a language’s semantics is not a thing. Similar for CPU architectures. Our computing base is about being fast and faster.

What a glorious time to be in the field… Crazy to think we have allowed technically incompetent people to make these decisions

To your last point, I’d like to point out there’s an adage that goes along the lines of “the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent…”

Yes. The crap people publish even with peer-reviews is bad enough. A few subfields in CS have bitten a couple times by relying on non peer reviewed ecosystems.

Good explanation. When I was working at a semiconductor manufacturer, our thresholds were like 0 - 0.2V to 0.8 - 1.0V. Additionally, if you look at QLC SSDs, their longevity is hugely degraded. Analog computing is non-trivial, to say the le
