It was obvious that Apple would make a TV, a car, etc yet they didn't. Apple has a remarkable ability to say no.

Yeah, these hacking incidents appear to come from agent swarms that were doing a penetration testing (hacking) benchmark.

They already stopped running agent swarms and promised to lock down their environment better. Let's see if that happens.

Day to day life in what country? Do you live in Ukraine? Maybe things are wild there and we just don't know about it.

Employees acting on behalf of the company aren't going to be held personally liable.

Then who is?

If something warrants a prison sentence, but for some reason it was such an employee that performed the act, does this mean nobody can be arrested?

why?

This is a two-year-old 5090 gaming GPU with extra RAM. The data center GPUs are much more powerful (with correspondingly higher prices).

Do you think his leave of absence was for one day?

I have a lot of basic questions about the CVVDP graph. Is the X axis encoding or decoding speed? Is higher better on the Y axis? What format is Aperture? I assume "aom" is AV1 but it wouldn't hurt to document it.

x-axis is encoding speed, Y-axis is BD-rate where higher is better. aperture-alpha is an upcoming encoder from Halide Compression, no more details than that. libaom and SVT-AV1 are both for AVIF; libaom is the AV1 reference encoder.

> where higher is better

Bit of a nit, but can you add that as a note to the legends/graphs in the future? As a layperson, it helps us to orient to graphs with unknown metrics.

Thanks for the article, btw!

Wait... SVT-AV1 doesn't support anything else than 4:2:0, right? Kinda biases the comparison here.

Progressive rendering is intended for the Web and it does work.

Zip and PNG bombs have been around for a while: https://github.com/0x48piraj/gz-bomb https://libpng.sourceforge.io/decompression_bombs.html

You can also have a zip that decompresses to itself: https://research.swtch.com/zip

I mean "mild" bombs where the final output bytes looks normal, a regular sized image, but the decompressing steps takes unnecessarily long, eating CPU or/and RAM
