Just watched the "What The Fax" talk from #35C3 and... wow!
Great stuff!

@dazinism @Argus
hm, ok, but why do you want Xen on the Hikey?

@dazinism @Argus
>Xen
>TrustZone
are you trying to port QubesOS onto it? o.O

@nihl I'm currently trying to finish a basic compiler for a toy language that will get me half of the points I could get for this assignment.

@Shamar @ekaitz_zarraga @mailoxy
You've never said you tried.
You've never shown a PoC.
The default is to assume sth doesn't exist, until existence is proven.

@ekaitz_zarraga @mailoxy @Shamar
(yeah I know, in 2018 you build botnets out of wifi routers and IP cameras, not PCs)

@ekaitz_zarraga @mailoxy @Shamar
6. they don't care whom they attack, they just want to get as many people as possible, because they're building a botnet

@ekaitz_zarraga @mailoxy
5. the cache control trick doesn't actually work, and we don't know it doesn't work because @Shamar never actually tried it

@mailoxy what good is open-source firmware if you can't tell if it's really the firmware that's running?

I'd rather a doctor still look at the data afterwards to confirm the diagnosis. Machine learning tends to have very weird failure modes.

@nawi @jacek
I meant I didn't understand your post

@nawi @jacek
But if it it works for you then you at least know it works for someone.
And you don't know if it works for the target user until you show it to the target user.

If it works for you, at least you rule out the possibility that it works for nobody.

@nawi @jacek
??? (parse error)

@nawi @jacek
IMO off-topic.

Also, if it exists, it means someone wrote it, so we can retroactively evaluate whether they did it right.

@jacek
Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that people often write software with some hypothetical user in mind, making it less convenient from the dev's point of view because they think it'll be more convenient from the user's point of view. IMO that doesn't work. If you write a software that is annoying to use for yourself, there's little chance it won't be annoying for the target user.

Because you know the target user less than you know yourself.

@jacek well, I guess I should've worded my post better.

But in your case, there will be a doctor who's gonna be using that software, right? If you were there in place of that doctor, would you be satisfied with how the software works, or would you keep cursing the software for being hard to use?

Well, if you write a model, it probably has no UI at all, just some kind of API, so this should be more like: would you like to be the developer who incorporates that model into some software?
