HN discussionYeah on macos the communication between your app and the window server (which is conveniently called WindowServer) happens via mach ports. Most of it is undocumented, in fact anything more "low-level" than using AppKit is undocumented, although IIRC it is in principle possible to use undocumented CG* apis to create and manipulate windows yourself without going through the appkit layers. I think each CG* api is basic…

HN discussionHaven't read what they're doing, but chances are they are using an adversial neural network. The job of the adversarial network is to tell apart real from fake. The job of the neural network is to fool the adverserial network. Both are trained in tandem. One could imagine training another adverserial network that isn't used to train the network itself, and so will pick up on nuances that the original adversary doesn…

HN discussionIt doesn't have to be vt-d: https://keenlab.tencent.com/en/2018/04/23/A-bunch-of-Red-Pil... I can confidently tell you that your understanding of security mitigations is flawed. And I say that based on experience not just a baseless opinion. Silver bullets in security don't exist. Let's every moveit instance was run in a container in a vm and in a dmz (actually moveit transfer is usually deployed in a dmz, isolated…

HN discussionGiven recently revealed vulnerabilities to the Tesla autopilot [1],for example, the adversarial markers that can cause the car to change lane, is it responsible for Tesla to go even further toward self driving without some way to mitigate such vulnerabilities first?
