The article argues that attributing it solely to poverty is a mistake, and that because of several cost barriers it's more likely being done by middle-income fishers.

Yes. The kernel has access to data from every workload, and so technically a bug in _anything_ running at kernel level could result in data leakage.

This law does not prevent Americans from reading, viewing, or saying anything. You will still be free to visit TikTok's web client and do that. This prevents US companies from doing business with the company (eg. ads, app distribution, etc).

Although there is a type of peer review that includes redoing experiments and analysis: artifact evaluation. All of the top conferences in my field (real-time embedded systems) include this as an opt-in option, and papers get a special badge if they also pass artifact evaluation. I strongly believe that other fields in computer science would benefit by including and normalizing this process.

Besides the reproducibility benefits, artifact evaluation forces documentation of the experiments and process; I've found this enormously useful when on-boarding new students to an existing project.

Very nice overview of the Voyager program.

I love the words from the President included on the spacecraft: “We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.”

It's like a bonus level!

> Last commit was from march... why was this posted now and is there any interest/activity left?

I work in an adjacent research group at UNC, and I can assure you that this is a very active project. Unfortunately, because most venues now use double-blind review, the updated code can't be posted until after the associated paper(s) are accepted.

I'd encourage any potentially interested parties to star/watch the GitHub repo to keep an eye on development. I've seen some very impressive benchmark improvements from work currently in the pipeline.
