Long-time Slashdot reader [44]BonThomme shared [45]this article from Axios: In a story in the Financial Times out Thursday, current and former Silicon Valley Bank employees cited the bank's commitment to remote work as one reason for its failure.... The banking industry has led the return to office charge for a while, and SVB was an outlier in its commitment to something different. The company's [46]career site touted its flexible culture. "If our time working remotely has taught us anything, it's that we can trust our employees to be productive from wherever they work," the site says. The executive team at SVB was spread out around the country, with CEO Greg Becker at times working from Hawaii, [47]according to the FT. Yet, SVB included remote work as a risk to its business in its 2022 annual report -- in part because of the IT issues posed when employees are dispersed around the country, but also for productivity reasons. The FDIC, which now runs the bank, told staff they could continue working remotely -- except essential workers and branch employees, per [48]Reuters. Axios ultimately blames SVB's run 11 days ago on its panic-inciting public communications [49]about needing to raise capital, combined with its oddly high concentration of tech clients and a portfolio of long-term U.S. treasuries as interest rates rose. "It's certainly possible that if more executives were working in closer proximity those missteps would've been avoided. But it's hard to really know." Yet they warn workplace policies could change simply because the Financial Times ran a piece blaming remote work. "Companies looking for a reason to bring workers back to the office may find it in this piece." apply tags__________ 170571789 story [50]Desktops (Apple) [51]Unix Pioneer Ken Thompson Announces He's Switching From Mac To Linux [52](youtube.com) [53]40 Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday March 19, 2023 @03:34AM from the full-circle dept.

Codon is a new "high-performance Python compiler that compiles Python code to native machine code without any runtime overhead," according to [62]its README file on GitHub. Typical speedups over Python are on the order of 10-100x or more, on a single thread. Codon's performance is typically on par with (and sometimes better than) that of C/C++. Unlike Python, Codon supports native multithreading, which can lead to speedups many times higher still. Its development team includes researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence lab, according to this [63]announcement from MIT shared by long-time Slashdot user [64]Futurepower(R): The compiler lets developers create new domain-specific languages (DSLs) within Python -- which is typically orders of magnitude slower than languages like C or C++ -- while still getting the performance benefits of those other languages. "We realized that people don't necessarily want to learn a new language, or a new tool, especially those who are nontechnical. So we thought, let's take Python syntax, semantics, and libraries and incorporate them into a new system built from the ground up," says Ariya Shajii SM '18, PhD '21, lead author on [65]a new paper about the team's new system, Codon. "The user simply writes Python like they're used to, without having to worry about data types or performance, which we handle automatically -- and the result is that their code runs 10 to 100 times faster than regular Python. Codon is already being used commercially in fields like quantitative finance, bioinformatics, and deep learning." The team put Codon through some rigorous testing, and it punched above its weight. Specifically, they took roughly 10 commonly used genomics applications written in Python and compiled them using Codon, and achieved five to 10 times speedups over the original hand-optimized implementations.... The Codon platform also has a parallel backend that lets users write Python code that can be explicitly compiled for GPUs or multiple cores, tasks which have traditionally required low-level programming expertise.... Part of the innovation with Codon is that the tool does type checking before running the program. That lets the compiler convert the code to native machine code, which avoids all of the overhead that Python has in dealing with data types at runtime. "Python is the language of choice for domain experts that are not programming experts. If they write a program that gets popular, and many people start using it and run larger and larger datasets, then the lack of performance of Python becomes a critical barrier to success," says Saman Amarasinghe, MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science and CSAIL principal investigator. "Instead of needing to rewrite the program using a C-implemented library like NumPy or totally rewrite in a language like C, Codon can use the same Python implementation and give the same performance you'll get by rewriting in C. Thus, I believe Codon is the easiest path forward for successful Python applications that have hit a limit due to lack of performance." The other piece of the puzzle is the optimizations in the compiler. Working with the genomics plugin, for example, will perform its own set of optimizations that are specific to that computing domain, which involves working with genomic sequences and other biological data, for example. The result is an executable file that runs at the speed of C or C++, or even faster once domain-specific optimizations are applied. apply tags__________ 170572089 story [66]Programming [67]Programming Pioneer Grady Booch on Functional Programming, Web3, and Conscious Machines [68](infoworld.com) [69]35 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 18, 2023 @09:34PM from the interesting-interviews dept. InfoWorld [70]interviews Grady Booch, chief scientist for software engineering at IBM Research (who is also a pioneer in design patterns, agile methods, and [71]one of the creators of UML). Here's some of the highlights: Q: Let me begin by asking something "of the moment." There has been an almost cultural war between object-oriented programming and functional programming. What is your take on this? Booch: I had the opportunity to conduct [72]an oral history with [73]John Backus -- one of the pioneers of functional programming -- in 2006 on behalf of the Computer History Museum. I asked John why functional programming didn't enter the mainstream, and his answer was perfect: "Functional programming makes it easy to do hard things" he said, "but functional programming makes it very difficult to do easy things...." Q: Would you talk a bit about cryptography and Web3? Booch: Web3 is a flaming pile of feces orbiting a giant dripping hairball. Cryptocurrencies -- ones not backed by the full faith and credit of stable nation states -- have only a few meaningful use cases, particularly if you are a corrupt dictator of a nation with a broken economic system, or a fraud and scammer who wants to grow their wealth at the expense of greater fools. I was one of the original signatories of a letter to Congress in 2022 for a very good reason: these technologies are inherently dangerous, they are architecturally flawed, and they introduce an attack surface that threatens economies.... Q: What do you make of transhumanism? Booch: It's a nice word that has little utility for me other than as something people use to sell books and to write clickbait articles.... Q: Do you think we'll ever see conscious machines? Or, perhaps, something that compels us to accept them as such? Booch: My experience tells me that the mind is computable. Hence, yes, I have reason to believe that we will see synthetic minds. But not in my lifetime; or yours; or your children; or your children's children. Remember, also, that this will likely happen incrementally, not with a bang, and as such, we will co-evolve with these new species. apply tags__________ 170569933 story [74]Programming [75]Something Pretty Right: a History of Visual Basic [76](retool.com) [77]81 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 18, 2023 @06:34PM from the Labels-and-ListBoxes dept. Long-time Slashdot reader [78]theodp writes: In [79]Something Pretty Right: A History of Visual Basic, Retool's Ryan Lucas has a nice round-up of how Visual Basic became the world's most dominant programming environment, its sudden fall from grace, and why its influence is still shaping the future of software development. Visual Basic (or VB) burst onto the scene at a magical, transitional moment, presenting a radically simpler alternative for Windows 3.0 development. Bill Gates' genuine enthusiasm for VB is evident in an accompanying [80]1991 video in which BillG personally and playfully demonstrates Visual Basic 1.0 at its launch event, as well as in a [81]1994 video in which Gates thanks Alan Cooper, the "Father of Visual Basic," with the Windows Pioneer Award. For Gates, VB was love at first sight. "It blew his mind, he had never seen anything like it," recalls Cooper of Gates's reaction to his 1988 demo of a prototype. "At one point he turned to his retinue and asked 'Why can't we do stuff like this?'" Gates even came up with the idea of taking Cooper's visual programming frontend and replacing its small custom internal language with BASIC. After seeing what Microsoft had done to his baby, Cooper reportedly sat frustrated in the front row at the launch event. But it's hard to argue with success, and Cooper eventually came to appreciate VB's impact. "Had Ruby [Cooper's creation] gone to the market as a shell construction set," Cooper said, "it would have made millions of people happier, but then Visual Basic made hundreds of millions of people happier. I was not right, or rather, I was right enough, had a modicum of rightness. Same for Bill Gates, but the two of us together did something pretty right." At its peak, Visual Basic had nearly 3.5 million developers worldwide. Many of the innovations that [82]Alan Cooper and [83]Scott Ferguson's teams introduced 30 years ago with VB are nowhere to be found in modern development, fueling a nostalgic fondness for the ease and magic VB delivered that we have yet to rekindle. apply tags__________ 170570781 story [84]Power [85]400,000 Gallons of Radioactive Water Leaked from a Nuclear Plant in Minnesota [86](apnews.com) [87]84 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 18, 2023 @05:34PM from the tritium-tritium-again dept. "Minnesota regulators said Thursday they're monitoring the cleanup of [88]a leak of 400,000 gallons of radioactive water from Xcel Energy's Monticello nuclear power plant," reports the Associated Press, "and the company said there's no danger to the public." "Xcel Energy took swift action to contain the leak to the plant site, which poses no health and safety risk to the local community or the environment," the Minneapolis-based utility said in a statement. While Xcel reported the leak of water containing tritium to state and federal authorities in late November, the spill had not been made public before Thursday. State officials said they waited to get more information before going public with it.... "Now that we have all the information about where the leak occurred, how much was released into groundwater, and that contaminated groundwater had moved beyond the original location, we are sharing this information," said Minnesota Pollution Control Agency spokesman Michael Rafferty, adding the water remains contained on Xcel's property and poses no immediate public health risk. The company said it notified the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the state on Nov. 22, the day after it confirmed the leak, which came from a pipe between two buildings. Since then, it has been pumping groundwater, storing and processing the contaminated water, which contains tritium levels below federal thresholds. "Ongoing monitoring from over two dozen on-site monitoring wells confirms that the leaked water is fully contained on-site and has not been detected beyond the facility or in any local drinking water," the Xcel Energy statement said. When asked why Xcel Energy didn't notify the public earlier, the company said: "We understand the importance of quickly informing the communities we serve if a situation poses an immediate threat to health and safety. In this case, there was no such threat." apply tags__________ 170567461 story [89]Space [90]Small Near-Earth Asteroid Surfaces Have Few Precious Metals, Study Finds [91](arxiv.org) [92]31 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 18, 2023 @04:34PM from the yours-and-mining dept.

Rest of World reports on viral teenage pranks at conveyor-belt sushi chain restaurants across Japan, which [108]snowballed into a societal phenomenon that social media users and the Japanese press have named "sushi terrorism." It began January 9th when a video showed a customer [109]adding a pile of wasabi onto sushi on a conveyor belt. Another video shows a [110]giggling teenager touching sushi on a conveyor belt at the sushi chain Sushiro after first licking that finger. The stock of the parent company that owns that sushi chain drops nearly 5%. It's not over. At a Nagoya branch of Kura Sushi, a 21-year-old customer grabs sushi from the conveyor belt, [111]cramming it into his mouth and chasing it down with a swig from the communal soy sauce bottle. The incident is filmed by his two younger friends, one of whom posts the clip online. The same day, Sushiro's operating company announces it will limit conveyor belts and move to ordering by touch screen. Concerns continued at other sushi chains. ("Kura Sushi says it's installing [112]surveillance cameras equipped with AI to monitor customers' behavior and catch sushi terrorists. A day later, [113]Choushimaru announces it will switch entirely to an iPad-based ordering system by April 26.") Sushiro also moves to ordering by touch screen and promises to [114]limit conveyor belts. The story's dramatic conclusion? Nagoya [115]police arrest the 19-year-old man who allegedly posted the soy-sauce-swigging video from Kura Sushi, along with his two "co-conspirators." Nagoya police declare they are holding all three sushi terrorists on suspicion of "forcible obstruction of business."

Axios [120]remembers that it was just nine days ago that there were "concerns" about Silicon Valley Bank at venture capital firm. And soon Founders Fund's top operations executives "were on the phone, quickly deciding to [121]move firm capital to a number of bigger banks." Firm founder Peter Thiel was not part of the conversation. One source says that the assumption was that they'd return the money to SVB after the crisis had ended.... Founders Fund wasn't the only venture capital firm giving this sort of warning to portfolio companies, nor necessarily the first, but word of its advice spread like wildfire (it also ended up in media reports, including [122]one from Axios). Almost immediately, the firm came under withering criticism from some other venture capitalists, accusing Founders Fund (and Thiel personally) of sparking a bank run that ultimately led to $42 billion in withdrawals. Some even speculated that it was intentional, as payback for some unknown grudge between the two groups. Earlier this week the Washington Examiner [123]chronicled some of that criticism: "There should be more scrutiny of Peter Thiel and [hedge fund manager] Bill Ackman for yelling fire in a crowded theater in this SVB collapse," [124]tweeted CNBC host Sara Eisen [on Monday]. Others turned their focus to Thiel's [125]promotion and [126]subsequent profiting off of crypto investments after the market crashed as a reason to be suspicious of his withdrawals. "You mean the guy who was touting crypto and trashing critics while he was selling crypto? That guy? Shocker!" [127]tweeted tech journalist Kara Swisher. But Peter Thiel says he [128]actually left his own money in the bank, reports Business Insider: "I had $50 million of my own money stuck in SVB," he [129]told the Financial Times.... Thiel told the Financial Times that he did not believe the SVB would fail last week. Other venture capital firms -- [130]including Coatue Management, Union Square Ventures, and Founder Collective -- had similarly advised startup clients to transfer money from SVB after the bank revealed a $1.8 billion loss and the bank's share price collapsed. These firms have pushed back against accusations that they were spreading panic, saying that they were giving financial advice they believed would be in the best interest of their clients.... Thiel told the Financial Times that his account was frozen on Friday when regulators stepped in and took control of the bank. However, it is once again accessible after the US government stepped in earlier this week and shored up all customer deposits in SVB. apply tags__________ 170567157 story [131]Cloud [132]Amazon's AWS Releases Fedora-Based, Cloud-Optimized 'Amazon Linux 2023' [133](amazon.com) [134]11 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 18, 2023 @12:34PM from the distributing-distros dept. "AWS has provided you with a cloud-optimized Linux distribution since 2010," [135]notes the cloud service's blog. This week they announced the third generation of Amazon's Linux distro: 'Amazon Linux 2023'. Every generation of Amazon Linux distribution is secured, optimized for the cloud, and receives long-term AWS support.... Deploying your workloads on Amazon Linux 2023 gives you three major benefits: a high-security standard, a predictable lifecycle, and a consistent update experience. Let's look at security first. Amazon Linux 2023 includes preconfigured security policies that make it easy for you to implement common industry guidelines. You can configure these policies at launch time or run time. For example, you can configure the system crypto policy to enforce system-wide usage of a specific set of cipher suites, TLS versions, or acceptable parameters in certificates and key exchanges. Also, the Linux kernel has many hardening features enabled by default.... When looking for a base to serve as a starting point for Amazon Linux 2023, Fedora was the best choice. We found that [136]Fedora's core tenets (Freedom, Friends, Features, First) resonate well with our vision for Amazon Linux. However, Amazon Linux focuses on a long-term, stable OS for the cloud, which is a notably different release cycle and lifecycle than Fedora. Amazon Linux 2023 provides updated versions of open-source software, a larger variety of packages, and frequent releases. Amazon Linux 2023 isn't directly comparable to any specific Fedora release. The Amazon Linux 2023 GA version includes components from Fedora 34, 35, and 36. Some of the components are the same as the components in Fedora, and some are modified. Other components more closely resemble the components in [137]CentOS Stream 9 or were developed independently. The Amazon Linux kernel, on its side, is sourced from [138]the long-term support options that are on kernel.org, chosen independently from the kernel provided by Fedora. Like every good citizen in the open-source community, we give back and contribute our changes to upstream distributions and sources for the benefit of the entire community. Amazon Linux 2023 itself is open source.

WHO Demands China Release It [147](theatlantic.com) [148]170 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 18, 2023 @10:34AM from the following-the-science dept. "The World Health Organization on Friday called on China to release new data linking the Covid pandemic's origins to animal samples at Wuhan Market after the country recently took down the research," [149]reports CNBC. The existence of the new data was revealed by the Atlantic earlier this week, in an article reporting that [150]the newly-discovered samples showed the virus was present in creatures for sale there near the very beginning of the pandemic: A new analysis of genetic sequences collected from the market shows that raccoon dogs being illegally sold at the venue could have been carrying and possibly shedding the virus at the end of 2019. It's some of the strongest support yet, experts told me, that the pandemic began when SARS-CoV-2 hopped from animals into humans, rather than in an accident among scientists experimenting with viruses.... The genetic sequences were pulled out of swabs taken in and near market stalls around the pandemic's start. They represent the first bits of raw data that researchers outside of China's academic institutions and their direct collaborators have had access to. A few weeks ago, the data appeared on an open-access genomic database called GISAID, after being quietly posted by researchers affiliated with the country's Center for Disease Control and Prevention. By almost pure happenstance, scientists in Europe, North America, and Australia spotted the sequences, downloaded them, and began an analysis. The samples were already known to be positive for the coronavirus, and had [151]been scrutinized before by the same group of Chinese researchers who uploaded the data to GISAID. But that prior analysis, released as a preprint publication in February 2022, asserted that "no animal host of SARS-CoV-2 can be deduced...." The new analysis, led by Kristian Andersen, Edward Holmes, and Michael Worobey -- three prominent researchers who have been looking into the virus's roots -- shows that that may not be the case. Within about half a day of downloading the data from GISAID, the trio and their collaborators discovered that several market samples that tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 were also coming back chock-full of animal genetic material -- much of which was a match for the common raccoon dog. Because of how the samples were gathered, and because viruses can't persist by themselves in the environment, the scientists think that their findings could indicate the presence of a coronavirus-infected raccoon dog in the spots where the swabs were taken.... The new analysis builds on extensive [152]previous [153]research that points to the market as the source of the earliest major outbreak of SARS-CoV-2: Many of the earliest known COVID-19 cases of the pandemic were clustered roughly in the market's vicinity. And the virus's genetic material was found in many [154]samples swabbed from carts and animal-processing equipment at the venue, as well as parts of nearby infrastructure, such as storehouses, sewage wells, and water drains. Raccoon dogs, creatures commonly bred for sale in China, are also already known to be one of many mammal species that can easily catch and spread the coronavirus. All of this left one main hole in the puzzle to fill: clear-cut evidence that raccoon dogs and the virus were in the exact same spot at the market, close enough that the creatures might have been infected and, possibly, infectious. That's what the new analysis provides. Think of it as finding the DNA of an investigation's main suspect at the scene of the crime. The article also notes that the genetic sequences "also vanished from the database shortly after the international team of researchers notified the Chinese researchers of their preliminary findings, without explanation." And it adds that all along China has "vehemently" fought the theory that Covid-19 originated from live animals being sold at Wuhan market. Although "in June 2021, a team of researchers published [155]a study documenting tens of thousands of mammals for sale in wet markets in Wuhan between 2017 and late 2019, including at Huanan." "The animals were kept in largely illegal, cramped, and unhygienic settings -- conditions conducive to viral transmission -- and among them were more than 1,000 [156]raccoon dogs." And there's even [157]photos of raccoon dogs for sale at the market in December of 2019. More coverage of the newly-discovered data is now appearing in numerous news outlets, including the [158]New York Times, [159]NBC News, [160]ABC News, the [161]Guardian, [162]PBS, and [163]Science. apply tags__________ 170568173 story [164]Crime [165]Dark Web 'BreachForums' Operator Charged With Computer Crime [166](bloomberg.com) [167]16 Posted by [168]BeauHD on Saturday March 18, 2023 @09:00AM from the brought-to-justice dept.

Conor Brian Fitzpatrick was arrested by a team of investigators at his home around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, an FBI agent said in a sworn statement filed in court the next day. Fitzpatrick is charged with a single count of conspiracy to commit access device fraud. BreachForums hosted the stolen databases of almost 1,000 companies and websites. The databases often includes personal information, such as names, emails and passwords. The information is offered for sale by users of the site and can be used for fraud. Pompompurin's profile on BreachForums describes him as "Bossman" and pictures the Sanrio Co. cartoon dog whose name he used as an online alias. The profile shows Fitzpatrick's most recent visit to the site was Wednesday at 3:53 p.m., shortly before his arrest. The FBI agent, who led the other agents in the arrest, said Fitzpatrick admitted he had used the alias "Pompompurin" and was the owner and operator of BreachForums. In November 2021, Pompompurin claimed responsibility for sending out fake emails that originated from an "fbi.gov" email address. Pompompurin claimed responsibility for the breach in an interview with Brian Krebs. Details of the charges, filed in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, have not been made public. A spokeswoman for the US Attorney in Alexandria didn't return phone and email messages seeking comment. Fitzpatrick was presented in federal court in White Plains, New York, and released on a $300,000 unsecured bond, signed by his parents.

Reuters reports: The idea would be for a regulator to hold such platforms, not consumers, accountable for monetized content, Brant told Reuters. Another goal is "to prevent the networks from being used for the dissemination and promotion of crimes and illegal content" especially after the riots by supporters of former far-right President JairBolsonaro in Brasilia in January, fueled by misinformation about the election he lost in October. Brant said President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's government also intends to make companies responsible for stopping misinformation, hate speech and other crimes on their social media platforms. Platforms would not be held responsible for content individually, but for how diligent they are in protecting the "digital environment," he said in an interview. Brant did not detail what the regulatory body would look like, but said the government wants to regulate monetized content and prevent the platforms from spreading misinformation. apply tags__________ [176]« Newer [177]Older » Slashdot Top Deals Slashdot Top Deals [178]Slashdot Deals Slashdot Poll Are you using ChatGPT, GPT-3, GPT-4, or a similar AI to help do your job?
