This adorable little robot is designed to make sure its photosynthesising passenger is well taken care of. It moves towards brighter light if it needs, or hides in the shade to keep cool. When in the light, it rotates to make sure the plant gets plenty of light. It even likes to play with humans.
Oh, and apparently, it gets antsy when it’s thirsty.
The robot is actually an art project called “Sharing Human Technology with Plants” by a roboticist named Sun Tianqi. It’s made from a modified version of a Vincross HEXA robot, and in his own words, it’s purpose is “to explore the relationship between living beings and robots.”
in 1700 BCE Egyptian mathematicians came up with the best possible way to end a math proof (”Behold! The beer quantity is found to be correct!”), and the only evidence you’ll ever need of base neoliberal depravity is that we knew about this absolute masterpiece and instead opted to end our proofs with an empty square that means “what was to be demonstrated”
The thing you could do with this vulnerability is you could write a value anywhere in kernel memory. […] But what you didn’t control was what the value was. […] That value was proportional to temperature of the GPU in the machine. So what these guys on my team figured out is, if you can get this value above ‘n’, then I can use it to corrupt the length of another field. […] So their actual exploit fired up the GPU, sent some shaders until it warmed up enough, and then when it warmed up, we took the value and over-wrote it.
