There are two December 2016's and three october 2016's. One cluster is at the top, the other cluster is at the bottom-left + a straggling october 2016 at the bottom right.

Her natural hair is probably closer to the set at the top. My guess would be the January 2017 and October 2016 (at the top, not the bottom-left). The December/October2016 set at the bottom-left is probably furthest from her natural hair. Everything else on the page took some type of unnatural styling, including the wavy hair.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but if her unnatural hair is what you find aesthetically appealing (due to American beauty standards, this is usually the case -- I've lived in both continents and the difference is significant), then that alone is a testament to why this app will be successful through the advertisement of hair products and referrals to stylists. Beauty is important to women and the use of chemical products and knowledgable stylists are (IMHO sadly) what it takes for black women to reach "mainstream" beauty standards here, which is a major market force.
True.

Interesting how all the talk is about A.I. raising and taking over. Similar to a killer phantom rising and destroying all.

All the people working on it like to promote the pluses and discount the minuses. Every technological advance has eventually been used as a weapon. Why would A.I. be any different?

I think the real near term danger is the use of it as a weapon against each other. It took less than 50 years from the invention of the plane to it becoming a major part of WWII. It will take even less for A.I. Even if no more A.I. advances happen from this point forward the possible weapons can be very scary.

A.I. should be added to the Geneva Protocol before it's too late. We can at least reduce the use of it as a weapon.
Site seems to be relying on javascript or something to load: with umatrix on, I can only see the first page and can't scroll down.
I only mostly agree with this.

I think there is an ethics in how you release. I 100% believe you should disclose the bug to the responsible party. Give a reasonable time for them to fix, check, and then disclose to the public.

If you check and they are working on it then give them more time (offer to help? Doesn't have to be free). If they push you off then post it everywhere and well... we know how that goes. If they do fix it then add it to your resume and everyone is happy.

In my opinion, all vulnerabilities should be disclosed to the public. This helps prevent the same mistake from being done twice (or in reality, thousands of times). BUT there is a reasonable way to disclose. Some things are more vulnerable than others (like a cache of everyone's passwords or a device that controls someone's heart...). Public discloser makes more people aware of this. We say security through obscurity isn't security, but that is only true to an extent.

tldr: Always disclose, but do it responsibly.
What's your suggested alternative? It's really easy to criticize, but a lot harder to do any better. If you aren't suggesting any other methods, you're implicitly saying we should just ignore the problem. I really don't think that will end well.
The tangible benefits, in 2017, for the "average workstation user" (if such a thing even exists) are vanishingly slim.

The sole benefit is correcting random bitflips in memory. These bitflips don't occur often enough per byte of RAM in workstation environments to matter: It's far more likely you'll have an issue with corruption due to poorly developed software than due to EMI.

However if you're building a home NAS on commodity hardware, and you're concerned about things like data integrity, ECC is definitely preferred.
> Full disclosure feels very much like pointing at my house and saying "This house here has a lock which you can get past using a Bic pen if you insert it with the rounded end and turn it clockwise. You could then steal all the things inside."

No, it's like going on TV and telling everyone that a certain brand of lock, which you happen to use, is easily circumvented with a Bic pen. Feel free to get a new lock, or do something else to increase your security if you feel it's warranted, as the lock isn't good protection, and it wasn't prior to the announcement either.

You might find this[1] relevant. This is how bad locks can be. Would you rather use this lock in ignorance, or immediately replace it? Particularly of note is the 20 seconds or so starting at 4:10, where he makes it very obvious just how bad this lock is. Also note how he says "Geez, keep sending me stuff like this and you'll get me sued by Master Lock again."

I really, really don't think modern AI capabilities and AGI are as dissimilar as airplanes and rockets. Neither do many AI researchers. You're obviously welcome to disagree, but you don't just get to declare their opinions invalid because you think they're out of their depth.
It's hilarious that you can non ironically can say America keeps its citizens blind and use China as a comparison.

They used to. They migrated off of it because cloud is too expensive. 2 big components to that :

1) traffic to the rest of the internet from the cloud is "wtf" expensive compared to the alternatives. If you can do your own peering (like dropbox does), this goes double.

2) Actual disk storage is too expensive as well. It doesn't compare favorably with what you can get by building a blackblaze pod [1] (just an example).

3) Cloud does not match their usecase. They are write-heavy instead of read-heavy. So as the cloud optimizes for internet serving, it actually moves further away from their optimal price point.

Exactly. My front door has a lock we open with keys, which is all we rely on normally. It also has deadbolts, which we use when we're out of town. Tell me my keyed lock --- tell everyone my keyed lock is unsafe! We'll just set the deadbolts until we can replace it.

What I don't want you do is secretly working with the vendor of my lock to fit some kind of solution to their problem into their product shipping schedule.
The cult of 'AI will be totally fine' is a religious belief that brooks no dissent, and unfortunately has its claws in a lot of otherwise smart people.
I would check out 1Password. I can't compare LastPass and 1Password since I have never used LastPass, but adding a new login/password for a website is pretty easy in 1Password (just open the app and choose generate password, as long as the extension is installed on the browser it understands the website). It also prompts you if you login without generating a password.
Has anyone heard of InFocus phones? We were able to rent these in Hong Kong but I've never heard of them before.
What about a discussion of how they were caught?
No, of course I would not, for the reason I just stated. The ethics of disclosure are complicated and situational.

I am consequentialist in some situations and deontological in others, though I identify more strongly with deontological ethics.

There are tradeoffs to all software.

I use lastpass with a yubikey for 2fa and I feel safe enough. I briefly looked at other password managers when I was evaluating lastpass, but convenience won out for me. I haven't looked at moving out of lastpass, but 3 years ago no other password manager came close to the mobile and platform support that lastpass had.

I considered keeping my passwordDB local, but the inconvenience of needing it and not having it wasn't it worth it to me. Do I know I'm making a tradeoff? Yes.

I also have a nasty habit of setting things up on a local server and then never updating it. Instead I decided that lastpass was worth the $12/year so I wouldn't have to manage anything locally.

So while lastpass may not be perfect security, I'm a lot better off than I was three years ago when I used the same few passwords everywhere.

It also helps me share passwords with my wife, so that's nice.
Well, we're not comparing "not knowing" to "knowing". We're comparing "vendor tells all customers" vs. "you tell a small fraction of customers".

I would rather have the former. Also, I didn't pick the Bic pen thing randomly. Certain Kryptonite locks were once famously demonstrated to be Bic pen unlockable.
Ah someone that's actually used them eh :) ? My experience is the same.

People have this impression that they're being used for all this exciting stuff when the average FPGA is because you need some multiplexing on IO lines and you're not running a RTOS. Basically using them in place of what would be software if your micro was better suited to your application
This was an interesting read for someone unacquainted with the field–it appears to be very difficult to fix "awkwardness" in sentences; none of the methods were able to reduce it significantly. It looks to me that awkwardness is more based on common usage than on actual grammar, perhaps this could be improved with a solution similar to Google Translate's, which looks at real world usage instead of syntax?
Yet my phone still won't hold a charge for more than three hours.

You're not telling everyone, though, are you? As a matter of fact, you're probably not even telling a small number of people who have the lock.

You won't be setting your deadbolt because, guess what, the guy who found the problem told your local Linux Users' Group, not you. And you don't attend your local Linux Users' Group.

If you were telling everyone that would be another thing.
Which makes for a totally fine situation of

"Hey neighbor, nevermind how I know this, but I can open your door with a Bic pen and steal all your stuff if I wanted to"

"Well no one is going to try that. So I'm safe"

Post instructions

But if the person asks for help to prevent it, and especially if you're being paid (like Travis) or a good neighbor, help them before you post instructions. So the instructions you post aren't useful to break into your neighbor's house.

Windows automatically restarts the GPU driver after a crash; the screen goes black for a few seconds and then all the windows come back up. It can also upgrade the GPU driver without a reboot. It's not used often but it's pretty handy.
The real issue with the US (and also the Catholic Church) is how underhanded and manipulative they are. They don't launch armies and run around conquering things, but they throw their money and power around to make others do their dirty work for them which means that there won't be any kind of effort to stop them.

When Nazi Germany tried to take over the world, the world banded together to stop them.

If the US funds a revolution in some developing country or other; that country doesn't have the means to rise up against the US and do anything about it, and the UN or the EU or what have you sure as hell won't declare war on the US because of some regional instability in the Middle East or Africa.

That's why the US are dangerous, not because they commit atrocities on the scale of Nazi Germany (which they don't, not even close).
Cheapest Stratix V I can find on digikey starts at ~$1,800 and quickly goes up to $10k for the bare chip in quantities of 24.

For open source hardware I doubt you'll see people shell out the cost of a used car to be able to match modern ~$200 GPUs.

I don't even what to know what Stratix 10 starts at.
I was being a little tongue-in-cheek, sure, but only slightly. They're both fairly recent languages, both representing a vision of how to fix the mistakes of the past. I'm sure the leaders of the teams see each other as rivals.

In the case of a lock you have to go out and buy a new one. A difference in software is that your lock can improve its security without buying a new one.

If a vulnerability in your lock is found and the lock manufacturer buys you a new lock within a week, do you stop trusting that manufacturer?
It is a really good font, however, it just doesn't work for me on terminal & terminal based applications. Somehow I find that there is too little spacing between the lines.
We're talking about someone posting on Twitter about bugs, not someone giving secret presentations at LUGs.

I don't like telling vulnerability researchers what to do. Of all the ethical issues involved in vulnerability disclosure, the most important to me is the fact that these researchers are doing free work for the vendors, who bear all the obligations of ensuring that they're not shipping vulnerabilities in the first place. I think these debates about "disclosure ethics" mostly serve the vendors, who want to deflect from discussions about how they manage to ship vulnerabilities that third parties can find.

But if I had to have a problem with any disclosure process, it's the "secret cabal" model, which has always been an problem for me, all the way back into the 1990s with things like the CORE list.

This font has been my daily driver for at least a year.

It has some similarities with Pragmata Pro (my previous font), but has evolved to have its own personality now.

I build a custom version of the font with this command-line:

$ make custom-config design='v-tilde-low v-asterisk-low v-underscore-low v-at-short v-zero-dotted term' && make custom

This gives me:

- Disabled ligatures (I don't like them for my coding font)

- Underscore below the baseline (it is called underscore, after all)

- Tilde and asterisk centered vertically

- Zero with dots through it

- Fira Sans style @ symbol.

I reckon they should be actually working at a hedge fund. They need a strong understanding of the business and theory of finance, as well as the systems and technologies the fund uses. If they're running technology there - on a daily basis, I expect they would be tracking dashboards and thinking about and planning on how to reduce risk and improve operations.

I may not be there yet, so on a daily basis, I continue to improve my skillsets in management and technology, teaching technology, both theory and practice. I'm building my leadership abilities through teaching, organizing, lecturing, tutoring, speaking up where appropriate at work, and moderating on Stack Overflow where I'm focusing on using soft power (talking to people instead of pushing buttons).

If you have thoughts on that, I'd like to hear them.

LastPass user here, the reason why I choose LastPass is it's convenient and _not_ because it's safe. A common misconception is that softwares like LastPass/Keepass should be extremely secure, resist to any kind of hacking/exploiting, so that I can store all my passwords in it. Let face it, that's not realistic. The practical way is: 1, for non-critical accounts use the most convenient and relatively safer one, like LastPass/OpenID/etc. 2, for cirtical ones(like bank account, major email account) burn a strong passwords inside your brain and combine it with 2FA. Do not trust any one/software when something really matters to you.

There's lots of concern about the bizarre relationship disclosure. But perhaps even more bizarre is that this deal has a structure closer to a strategic move than actual philanthropy. Am I massively misreading this?

This page details how their main goal with the $30M isn't to increase OpenAI's pledged funds by 3%, thereby reducing the marginal "AI Risk" by less than 3%. The goal is to have a seat on the board (basically -- they use a lot more words to say this in the announcement). What on earth is going on where a charitable organization with Open in its name feels it needs to buy its way onto the board of a prominent non-profit in order to:

"Improve our understanding of the field of AI research"

"[get] opportunities to become closely involved with any of the small number of existing organizations in “industry”"

and "Better position us to generally promote the ideas and goals that we prioritize"

Isn't the whole point of "open philanthropy" that you can direct funds to organizations more open about what's going on?!
I think that depends on your sources. TheIntercept doesn't fit into that bracket to me. Bias? Maybe, but bias isn't a problem if you read a diverse set of sources.
