Antibodies are used in research because they can be trained to connect to almost anything small. Once they attach in the body or in a petri dish, you can use western blotting or florescence or other techniques to find the antibodies, and you've found what they attached to.

There are a number of other uses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The question was what motivation Iran would have to attack a power plant in the UK. And there is the answer.

As for the rest of your post, I agree, it doesn't seem likely this was a hacking attempt, and attribution evidence is missing.

This sounds like it was written by someone who actually knows what they are doing, so I assume that they know better than I; but I am surprised to hear that it is impersonating a system dll; since (in all comparatively recent windows versions) system components are signed. Absolutely tons of fuckery you can do to them and around them; but if dpapi.dll doesn't have a signature that checks out the mechanisms that try to keep OSes up and running on marginal hardware subject to random power loss will likely eventually object and attempt a repair, even if there isn't any more paranoid EDR tooling in place.

Is the on-disk copy of dpapi.dll untouched and only the in-memory instance tampered with?

I just can't believe that It was the guys with their finger on GPU allocations, not just the expendable PC OEM they were trying to throw under the bus, the whole time. Whoever could have guessed?

The recent trend in software companies is to fire middle managers, and the metric used to evaluate managers for firing is the velocity. So that's the reason.

If you like your manager enough to help them, then break up tasks into smaller tasks that take an hour or so but still have 1 point of value.

They hit what they can. Iran has attacked or threatened many countries, including the UK.

It's understandable. If I were the head of the Islamist regime in Iran, I would be trying to build up nuclear weapons that could hit America as quickly as possible.

Paper heads! They're retractable! But not statistically waterproof, that's why they're getting sued.

Not many good programmers these days.

No point in it, managers don't care if you do a good job, as long as you close the ticket. For some managers, if you included bugs, that's a good thing. It's more tickets that can be opened.

Good job predicting that, you prophet.

Tim Cook thought AR (augmented reality) was the future, that's why he started putting in the beefy hardware. Turned out the future was in chatbots.

Now Tim is not in charge anymore, the things he liked at Apple are like old leaves flowing away in soft autumn wind.

By his second term, most people understood that Trump was a liar.

This wasn't a distinguishing feature since the other team lies, too.

The study is not sensational.

You should have at least read the abstract.

The available information isn't terribly specific; but on the surface it doesn't sound any deeper into application internals than it already does.

You can certainly go deeper into etw trace hell; but Task Manager knows how much CPU time you are eating, your memory consumption metrics, your network traffic, and has a (currently less granular) look at your consumption of GPU time. It also having a view of consumed NPU time seems totally analogous for a new flavor of coprocessor. Only one that might involve gory poking at the application(though I'd assume would be more logically pulled from the GPU driver) would be distinguishing "GPU Neural Engine" from GPU utilization generally.

Maybe you should read the actual scientific paper instead of ranting. It will give you knowledge and improve your blood pressure. (In case you missed that last reference: ranting raises your blood pressure. There you go).

Man, if you're getting your science information from news stories, the problem is you.

We live in a world where the actual study is a click away. At least read the abstract.
