Planiraju da udare raketom jedan (doduše dosta mali) asteroid i da vide mogu li mu promeniti putanju. Zanimljivo :) Najzad počinjemo da delujemo i na svemir :) Pozdrav, Dejan https://futurism.com/the-byte/nasa-renames-small-moon-smash NASA Renames Small Moon It Plans to Smash With SpaceX Nice Gesture In 2022, NASA plans to <https://futurism.com/nasa-is-moving-forward-with-its-plan-to-deflect-an-ast…> crash a spacecraft directly into a tiny moon, in a mission known as the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) — to try out a potential strategy to divert a killer asteroid heading toward Earth. The moon, which is only 160 meters across, is orbiting the asteroid Didymos, which flew near Earth back in 2003, <https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/312067-astronomers-give-asteroid-moon-a…> ExtremeTech <https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/312067-astronomers-give-asteroid-moon-a…> reports. Its small size and close proximity to Earth make it the perfect target for an asteroid-diverting mission, but NASA ran into a serious problem: Its name, Didymos B, isn’t nearly sexy enough for its role in a cool mission. Thus, the moon Didymos B became Dimorphos. DART Board NASA is collaborating <https://futurism.com/the-byte/nasas-dart-spacex-incoming-asteroids> with both SpaceX and the European Space Agency (ESA) on this DART mission. In 2021, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch on a crash course with Dimorphos — the plan is to ram the tiny moon so hard that it gets knocked out of its regular orbit around Didymos. Recently, some other ideas for how to divert a killer asteroid, like <https://futurism.com/the-byte/deflect-killer-asteroids-tie-shoelaces-togeth…> tethering it to another one to send it spiraling off course, have surfaced. But for now, NASA wants to test some good old-fashioned percussive maintenance. Follow-Up After the deed is done, the ESA will launch a <https://futurism.com/the-byte/esa-mission-deflect-killer-asteroids> follow-up mission dubbed Hera to track Dimorphos’ new orbit around Didymos, according to ExtremeTech. But that won’t happen until 2024, meaning we’ll have to wait for years — thinking about the cosmic horrors we’ve wrought — and wondering whether crashing rockets into asteroids can actually divert them.

Što jedan pijan smisli....

...to deset treznih posle ne može da raščivija. Za one koje mrzi da čitaju: analiziraju neku igru za prastari Atari, i tamo prosto nema RAM-a da se zapamti čitav lavirint. Ustanove da se on generiše on-line, a da ipak ima izlaz. I onda probali da shvate kako, disasemblirali, i nisu uspeli. Pa najzad pitali autora, on kaže *ebiga, to sam jedno veče napisao kad sam bio pijan i "urađen", sutradan nisam ni ja shvatao kako radi... ali radi... https://www.techspot.com/news/85622-nobody-sure-what-makes-atari-2600-game-… Researchers still don't know why this Atari 2600 game works Studying old video games to unearth long-lost coding techniques <https://www.techspot.com/community/staff/shawn-knight.268030/> Shawn Knighton June 14, 2020, 10:52 AM <https://static.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2020/06/2020-06-14-image-…> In a nutshell: Video game historians and digital “archaeologists” are increasingly digging up (no pun intended) old Atari games and delving into their code for clues on how titles were made given the hardware limitations of the day. One game, Entombed, is particularly noteworthy as it has stumped researchers thus far. Launched on the Atari 2600 in 1982, it tasks players with traversing down a continuous vertically-scrolling maze while trying to dodge enemies. Since early game cartridges didn’t have a wealth of memory to store static maze designs, the developer relied on a technique that would procedurally generate the maze – that is, build it on the fly. Intrigued, John Aycock from the University of Calgary, in Alberta, Canada, and Tara Copplestone from the University of York in the UK, took a closer look and what they found… well, they simply couldn’t explain. “It was a very deep rabbit hole,” Aycock told the <https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190919-the-maze-puzzle-hidden-within-a…> BBC. As the publication notes, the game’s maze is generated in a sequence. The game needs to decide, as it draws each new square of the maze, whether it should draw a wall or a space for the game characters to move around in. Each square should therefore be “wall” or “no wall” – “1” or “0” in computer bits. The game’s algorithm decides this automatically by analyzing a section of the maze. It uses a five-square tile that looks a little like a Tetris piece. This tile determines the nature of the next square in each row. The logic that determines what the next square should be is confined within a table of possible values in the game’s code. “Depending on the values of the five-square tile, the table tells the game to deposit either wall, no wall or a random choice between the two,” the BBC added. The tricky bit is that nobody can seem to figure out how the table was made. Having exhausted other possibilities including retro-engineering the table, the researchers reached out to one of the people involved in the game’s development, Steve Sidley, yet even he remembered being confused by the table at the time. Sidley <https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1811/1811.02035.pdf> told the researchers: The basic maze generating routine had been partially written by a stoner who had left. I contacted him to try and understand what the maze generating algorithm did. He told me it came upon him when he was drunk and whacked out of his brain, he coded it up in assembly overnight before he passed out, but now could not for the life of him remember how the algorithm worked. Studying old video game code could be immensely useful for modern-day developers, especially those working on VR and other <https://www.techspot.com/news/85479-watch-doom-running-playdate-handheld-cr…> resource-limited platforms. Who knows how many other genius techniques and <https://www.techspot.com/news/73500-ai-trained-play-old-atari-games-uncover…> weird quirks have yet to be discovered in long-forgotten games.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020/05/31/apple-pays-hacker-10000… Apple Pays Hacker $100,000 For ‘Sign In With Apple’ Security Shocker <https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/> Davey WinderMay 31, 2020, <https://specials-images.forbesimg.com/imageserve/5ed38fb4b8ac0f00060078f1/9…> Sign in with Apple vulnerability could have enabled account takeovers ASSOCIATED PRESS When Apple announced Sign in with Apple at the June 2019 worldwide developers conference, it called it a " <https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/06/apple-previews-ios-13/> more private way to simply and quickly sign into apps and websites." The idea was, and still is, a good one: replace social logins that can be used to collect personal data with a secure authentication system backed by Apple's promise not to profile users or their app activity. One of the plus points that got a lot of attention at the time was the ability for a user to sign up with third-party apps and services without needing to disclose their Apple ID email address. Unsurprisingly, it has been pushed as being a more privacy-oriented option than using your Facebook or Google account. Fast forward to April 2020, and a security researcher from Delhi uncovered a critical Sign in with Apple vulnerability that could allow an attacker to potentially take over an account with just an email ID. A critical vulnerability that was deemed important enough that Apple paid him $100,000 (£81,000) through its <https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2019/12/20/apple-confirms-iphone-h…> bug bounty program by way of a reward. <https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020/05/29/these-incredible-100-mi…> MORE FROM FORBESThese Hackers Have Made $100 Million And Could Earn $1 Billion By 2025By Davey Winder With the vulnerability already now patched by Apple on the server-side, <https://bhavukjain.com/blog/2020/05/30/zeroday-signin-with-apple/> Bhavuk Jain published his disclosure of the security shocker on May 30. Although the vulnerability related only to third-party apps which used Sign in with Apple without taking any further security measures, it's shocking for two reasons. Firstly as it could have allowed a full takeover of the user accounts of those applications regardless of the victim using a valid Apple ID email or not. Secondly, and potentially even more of a shocker, because Apple didn't catch this critical security flaw itself during development. <https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020/05/30/24k-gold-plated-iphone-…> MORE FROM FORBES24K Gold Plated iPhone Seller Sues Apple For $2.6 BillionBy Davey Winder I'm not going to go into the technical detail of how this vulnerability could have been exploited here as, frankly, it will go over the heads of all but the geekiest of readers. Take a look at the full disclosure if you want a deep dive into it all. The long and short of it being that Jain found he could request authentication tokens for any email ID from Apple, which would then be verified using Apple's public key and, as such, determined as being valid. An attacker could, therefore, forge a token linked to any email ID and gain access to the victim's account using it. Hiding your email ID from the third-party app wouldn't have prevented this exploit. That said, it's important to note that Jain said Apple carried out an internal investigation and determined that no account compromises or misuse had occurred before the vulnerability was fixed. <https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020/05/24/apple-ios-135-hacked-ze…> MORE FROM FORBESApple iOS 13.5 Hacked: Zero-Day Flaw Exploited By iPhone JailbreakersBy Davey Winder I spoke to Sean Wright, SME application security lead at ImmersiveLabs, regarding the vulnerability which he describes as being "a significant flaw." Wright also says that he "would have expected better testing around this from a company such as Apple, especially when it is trying to set itself a reputation as privacy-focused." I have asked Apple for a statement regarding this issue and will update the article if one is forthcoming. Sent from my iPad 2018
