Tech

If anyone has an article with more technical details on what the solar radiation did, and how they're going to patch it, I'd like to read about it :)

Airbus said it discovered the issue after an investigation into an incident in which a plane flying between the US and Mexico suddenly lost altitude in October.

The JetBlue Airways flight made an emergency landing in Florida after at least 15 people were injured.

The problem identified with A320 aircrafts relates to a piece of computing software which calculates a plane's elevation.

Airbus discovered that, at high altitudes, its data could be corrupted by intense radiation released periodically by the Sun.

The A320 family are what is known as "fly by wire" planes. This means there is no direct mechanical link between the controls in the cockpit and the parts of the aircraft that actually govern flight, with the pilot's actions processed by a computer.

Hey I've been studying and using various tech and programming frameworks for years. I don't know the best way to leverage my experience to recruiters and I'm afraid of choking in an interview and not getting a job I really thought I wanted. What have been some tips and advice you received that helped you push past your anxieties? I feel like I'm starting from nowhere when I read job descriptions online for code debugger or data infrastructure engineers. I run a self hosted server and I'm proficient in terminal and diagnosing errors through logs. Would recruiters be interested in hearing the ways I solved problems more than my applicable education? Also does anybody have stories of job fairs that went well or went bad?

If this isn't topical to c/tech let me know and I will post this somewhere else

Sounds interesting, and I get much of what he said, but I'm not qualified to judge. Sounds great, and not just for AI, though that seems the company's focus. Thoughts?

The encryption protecting communications against criminal and nation-state snooping is under threat. As private industry and governments get closer to building useful quantum computers, the algorithms protecting Bitcoin wallets, encrypted web visits, and other sensitive secrets will be useless. No one doubts the day will come, but as the now-common joke in cryptography circles observes, experts have been forecasting this cryptocalypse will arrive in the next 15 to 30 years for the past 30 years.

The uncertainty has created something of an existential dilemma: Should network architects spend the billions of dollars required to wean themselves off quantum-vulnerable algorithms now, or should they prioritize their limited security budgets fighting more immediate threats such as ransomware and espionage attacks? Given the expense and no clear deadline, it’s little wonder that less than half of all TLS connections made inside the Cloudflare network and only 18 percent of Fortune 500 networks support quantum-resistant TLS connections. It's all but certain that many fewer organizations still are supporting quantum-ready encryption in less prominent protocols.
