@volganian Okay, probably I should admit it and agree that there are more stupid competitions other than programming. At least as a cook and programmer.
Why competitive programming is a thing, but competitive art creation (or bridge building, whatever your views on the subject are) isn’t? Right, because for latter two it’s immediately obvious for everyone that it’s a stupid thing to do. Yet programmers are still doing that.
And yes, before any smart ass appears - I know about Olympic art competitions, I can search shit in internet too. There is a reason all those attempts failed.
UC Berkeley just hosted a hackathon. Over 1000 students from around the world came to build for 36 hours straight.
The reward? $100k+ in prizes.
Here are the winners and crowd standouts we saw at CalHacks ‘24 @CalHacks (🧵)
Incredible speech: Arnold Schwarzenegger slams Germany for closing nuclear plants while claiming a fossil fuel emergency to its citizens!
Schwarzenegger, the most famous living Austrian, speaking Thursday in Vienna, also praises California for saving Diablo Canyon nuclear plant.
Тесла нелепая, вишнево-красная,
Истлевший паташник, чайник Рассела,
Мешочки говна, созвездие мочевины –
И это Роджера Вилко смены
Только первая половина.
@luciascarlet Whatever, you still rely that code signing and servers running that stuff are working as described. It’s a good commitment tho, probably, the best one you can do rn.
"ok but how do we know Private Cloud Compute is actually private. do we just take Apple's word for it" Wrong
1. they will regularly release images of the entire custom OS powering these servers for public inspection, along with a virtualisation environment, so security researchers can poke it and the public can attest that it does what it claims
2. they will use cryptographic attestation to make sure that devices won't even try to connect to a server unless it can be proven that it's running a version of the software that has been publicly released
