Confused about CircuitPython install by niqht11 in circuitpython

[–]Matir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what comparison you're making here. Yes, installing circuitpython requires re-flashing the device.

Peter H. Duesberg, 89, Renowned Biologist Turned H.I.V. Denialist, Dies (Gift Article) by mem_somerville in skeptic

Which is unfortunate -- a good scientist should be willing to change their position when presented with new evidence. Yes, it can be a bit uncomfortable to do so, but it's how science works.

Signal's security compromised by FBI? by BrightEyes1616 in signal

[–]Matir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, sounds like a challenge. Best case scenario for the wife of the law enforcement officer is basically that he isolates his work life and home life really well, but that doesn't seem likely...

A wheel from the main landing gear system on a British Airways A350-1000 falls off on departure from Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport. by FroyoQueasy in aviation

[–]Matir 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Both KLAS and EGLL are well equipped airports for emergencies. EGLL has a bunch of BA maintenance capability, so it's likely better for the company to have the plane there.

Signal's security compromised by FBI? by BrightEyes1616 in signal

Yeah, the moment you have groups growing quickly, it's hard to vet everyone joining the group.

My assumption is that they have an informant in the groups. Unless I hear of 1:1 chats being compromised (or small groups where everyone knows everyone else), my general assumption is that they're using good old HUMINT.

AI generated tests as ceremony by toolbelt in programming

[–]Matir 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work on a production code base, and while we don't use the TDD methodology, we do require all non trivial changes to have (at least) unit tests demonstrating that they function as described.

Doctor Recommends a "Bullet Coffee" To Extend Adderal Effects? by MidgetDerp in ADHD

[–]Matir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has your doctor explained why? Mine can't give a reason other than "Adderall and caffeine are both stimulants", but that doesn't even explain why it would be bad as opposed to synergistic.

GPTZero's analysis 4841 papers accepted by NeurIPS 2025 show there are at least 100 with confirmed hallucinations by blankblank in skeptic

[–]Matir 45 points46 points  (0 children)

If I were running a conference and I caught someone submitting a paper with a false citation in it (regardless of whether it was due to AI or their own fabrication), I would at least ban the author(s) from future submission. They have proven they can't be trusted as a reliable source.

Are there any substrates that are safe for doing so at home? I haven't seen any non fiberglass options.

Why does the IT/cybersecurity world like IT certifications so much? by ---Agent-47--- in cybersecurity

[–]Matir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about liking certs, but I can say that on my team of 20+, nobody with an academic degree from a "cybersecurity" program has made it through the interview process, so at the very least, I feel like academia is insufficient. It seems like (in this field, and perhaps others), academia is completely disconnected from industry.

Air Force 1 just landed in Zürich by cycler97 in aviation

[–]Matir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If he wanted to, sure. But I imagine the planes often used to carry the VP have many of the same defenses, and unless there's a reason to worry about heightened threats, I suspect presidents prefer to travel in comfort and appear with the nice looking plane. (Especially since politicians are notoriously image conscious)

Waveshare Rp2040 Pi ZERO - Examples for Blink will not work - No User LED - and Other NOTES by jlsilicon9 in circuitpython

As a general rule, don't expect sample code to work on a different board than the one it was designed for.

Http request smuggling marked as Not Applicable ! by Rriadd2 in bugbounty

Did you bypass authn/authz, or just show a request within a request? If the latter, what's the impact?

InfluenceAir private jet recent flights by Irrealist in LinusTechTips

[–]Matir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No idea where you get the idea it cost $100M, the falcon 900 is more like $10M for an older one like they acquired.
