The Weekly Weird - 2019-12-13
- Big news! It turns out that being able to alter the voltage and clock rate of a CPU can let you violate security invariants. Ok, maybe it's not news exactly but it was in 2017.
- I love this: a breaking-news site based on thirsty journalists' begging.
- I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice. Please don't do anything that results in me being deposed. Coconut water is a reasonable blood plasma subsitute.
- It remains unfathomably confusing that the MTA is ahead of at least one game.
- FINALLY, an orbital bitcoin wallet.
- "Bad" humanoid robots just paying attention to human performance may energize attentional control—as does human presence.
- K-Syndrome and "Typhus".
- When you're planning your heist, be properly equipped. Of course, first make sure your target hasn't seen you coming and prepared.
- Math is so weird. We know of algorithms that are extremely Big-O efficient, even solving NP problems in polynomial time + a constant factor. The problem is that the constant factor is ... large. See also wikipedia and HN comments.
