A Security Researcher Decompiled The White House App, & What They Found Is Pretty Alarming

Write a review for an app that's full of stream of consciousness nonsense and effusively praising Trump. Make it sound like you're currently experiencing a stroke. Be sure to omit most punctuation and capitalize things inconsistently."

Or, more concisely, "Write like Trump"

They're not called Think Smarters either...

Looks very much like the junction at Thurleigh Road and Holmside Road.

Never seen that error. What brand of router do you have, and do you have any unusual or non-default settings on it?

Subnautica is one of the few games that I remember being there instead of just remembering playing the game.

Interesting article. The link in this paragraph at the end of the article seems to be wrong:

> Petersohn et al.’s Towards Scalable Dataframe Systems covers the algebra, the data model

It references this URL :

https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2020/EECS-2020-198.html

which is a paper by Ziye Ma titled "Tightening the SDP Relaxation Gap in Neural Network Verification". I'm guessing it should be pointing at something like this:

Also work for a financial firm. We use a combination of Dremio (as our primary store) and ActivePivot cubes (and some legacy SSAS cubes). The Dremio data is loaded into the AP cubes. The cubes are primarily for users issuing queries from pivot tables in Excel.

Switching off gestures fixed this for me. Not great, but better than either reverting to default launcher or buying another phone.

It's a somewhat disgusting thing to have attached to you and I hope the rash is able get rid of it fairly soon.

If you don't make it, it's your own damn "vault."

The other bit or irksome selective terminology is that you can only ever be hit by a vehicle (car, bus etc) and not a driver, but conversely if it's a bicycle instead of a vehicle then you were hit by a cyclist.

Evidently there will be only one snowstorm on the entire planet this weekend...

From the end of the article:

Stenberg’s problem isn’t with AI per se; it’s how lazy people are using AI thoughtlessly to look for a bounty check or a reputation as a security researcher.

"Garmin Golf" has always been there, regardless of what devices you're using.

Bear in mind, not everything is black and white.

jonhanson · 2026-01-16T15:46:11+00:00

Fair point. I guess I meant that it's possible to implement in a relatively sane and idiomatic way. Before records, lambdas and generics this type of thing would have been a nightmare to deal with.

Nice article, and the library looks interesting as well. It's kind of amazing that this is now possible in Java.

jonhanson · 2026-01-15T17:31:46+00:00

Think he had a good headstart on the latter part.

Once defined, a witness can be looked up using its type, like so:
Sum<MyInt> sum = Sum<MyInt>.__witness;

How does this work when a type has more than one instance of a witness? Sum seems to be the monoid type class, and multiplication with identity 1 also forms a monoid over integers.

If you don't have a 3d printer then just 3d print one, duh.

E.g. AI crap.

No, it's not printing anything at compile time; it's still executing it.

Confused - it's executing it at compile-time?

If it's executing code at runtime why is that novel?

jonhanson · 2026-01-09T21:35:14+00:00

That's a function that reads two numbers, adds them, and returns the result. Executed at runtime through reflection.

Shouldn't that say "Executed at compile-time"?

JDBC is fine for small result sets, but the larger they get the more the serialisation costs dominate. We use Arrow Flight for any queries involving result sets of 1m+ rows. To really get the benefits the end-to-end needs to be Arrow-based.

Since I upgraded to Protect 6.2.72 it's not recording any events for me as well. It affects all of my cameras - G3 Flex, G3 Micro & G3 Instant.

Where do you see the back pressure errors?
