Apparently they did nightly runs and then reviewed them.The baseboard took 27 hours of compute time, the SOM took 15 hours of compute to get to 98.7%. The human effort of 38.5 hours replaced 428 quoted human-only hours. It's apparently a cloud service, so I guess you can't rent your own machine and speed it up.. though if it is a physics heavy simulation maybe they were running an A100 or something? At any rate, it took a *lot* of compute but saved a *lot* of time. Based on Claude finding and digesting this blog article for me: https://www.quilter.ai/blog/co...

Trying to increase penalties is incredibly stupid. That only makes things worse. Let me be clear There is NO way to stop this kind of breach from happening again.

The problem is that morons believe they will never be robbed. There is no one with perfect security. The more valuable your data, the more likely it WILL be broken into. Every security professional or database designer (AND their bosses) should be required to sign a statement that says this every year.

AI will only make it worse as bad actors / governments will begin to set AI to find the exploits.

The only solution is to prevent companies from collecting and maintaining this level of information.

There was no need for a single database to contain 34 million people's key addresses and key codes to enter residential building. No need for a database to contain more than keycodes for more than a single building. Even if your company owns multiple buildings or runs security for multiple buildings.

The proper solution is to outlaw the creation of such massive databases. You want to contain information on more than 1 million people? Then there should be massive limitations on what it can contain. No passwords at all for something that large. Name, Address and Phone numbers should already be suspect at 1 million entrees.

If you have 34 stores, then keep 34 separate databases that have a different security system for each of them.

The economic system has allowed the worst people to become wealthy and powerful since the earliest times. You're mostly right about the other stuff though, it at least had civility for some.

Once you've found out about fish sauce, not much is scary.

Wrong trope, it's you didn't build that. And it's accurate as stated. Practically every datasheet includes a reference design circuit which is intended and provided for people actually SmarterThanYou to integrate into their own designs. It's not a complete design for a product, so there is still potentially work to be duplicated if you are really into that.

It hasn't been proven in court, but there's been more solid evidence presented than there was against Cosby. Who, BTW, totally also did all that shit, inb4 some bullshit

Oh, I long for the day when the US president had scandals about things like pronunciation, spelling, or clothing.

Can we please go back to arguing about the lack of of a flag pin rather than war crimes?

Sure, makes sense.

I had plenty of reasons not to vote for her, I just had more reasons not to vote for you know who, and I know how first past the post voting systems work. A lot of people seem to have trouble with that and think that a protest vote is a real thing.

Can they still do "Berlin to Warsaw in one tank"?

EVERYBODY knows what a "Gaudi" is? He's the architect that designed Basílica de la Sagrada Família. You know, the guy that gave us the cliche "What if you get hit by a bus?"

I'm guessing it's a scheme to complete Basílica de la Sagrada Família much sooner?

That's exactly why open-sourcing drivers is a GOOD thing! I once paid good money for an HP flatbed scanner, which became unusable when the next version of Windows shipped and HP declined to provide drivers for it since they were no longer making any money off the scanner. So I had to throw it away.

"Which spelling is Canadian?" Both, my friend, both!

One thing I can say for the British is that they pronounce words exactly the way they spell them. (See aluminium/aluminum). So, while my Canadian coworkers pronunciation of "schedule" bothered me as an American, I cannot call it incorrect! Obviously, the Canadians still consider themselves to be British... er, with the exception of a bunch of francophile jerks in Quebec.

The implementation I'm using is basically using PySerial to drive a USB-connected BLE device talking to a remote PSoC6 BLE device. I'm blaming PySerial for the problem, but the problem _could_ be caused by bad firmware in the BLE device. BLE isn't famous for good throughput either, but the throughput I'm seeing is several orders of magnitude worse than expected even for BLE. I agree that communication channels can be badly implemented in any language, and they frequently are. I'm just used to communication being interrupt driven (especially over a UART), rather than waiting for the interpreter to schedule processing every byte.
