>Firstly, there's no requirement to read other unrelated threads before commenting in this thread.

The guy started a new thread on the exact same issue that had already been discussed completely with insightful posts on both sides in another thread containing exactly 32 comments which was more than half the total comments on the article at the time he posted. Starting a new thread when over 50 percent of the comments were on this exact subject was absolutely unnecessary and frankly tiresome. And you claim that is "unrelated". How exactly do you get that?

>Secondly, what's more relevant: Siri, Cortana, and Alexa, or random assistants on the Play store?

The latter are more relevant as this is an assistant written by some guy by himself in Python. Furthermore, in the settings for this one, you can name it whatever you want. Additionally, note how Siri defaults to male or female depending on the market. Specifically, in the UK, it is male out of the box.

>I'm ignoring Google Assistant

Hmm..

>I just thought your comment was needlessly dismissive. Had you provided a link to the other hacker news thread[s] and not been as aggressive, your comment would have had much more value.

Provide a link? Use your eyes. The comments are inches away on this exact page.

The bottom line is, this issue was talked about thoroughly, yet it keeps being brought up, derailing the comments, instead of actually discussing the topic at hand which is the app the guy wrote. This kind of thing makes Hacker News less useful and that is a worse problem than my purported "dismissiveness" over something that shouldn't exist in the first place.
For a full solution, it would be a start to what they needed. The main benefit of an open-source server is that people can audit it for vulnerabilities. As in, they get free to cheap labor to reduce their liabilities. People might also submit extensions they find useful. The usual benefits of FOSS for suppliers.

Would a DNA sequence comparison on the clones not be sufficient to rule out such a basic mistake?
360 reviews can play a part but it can also create a popularity contest or create an incentive for 'incrementalism'.

An engineering example you might see is something like - "I spent the weekend refactoring the foobar to foobaz instead". And it's like yeah, foobaz is marginally better but it could have been exponentially better to question the premise of foobar and remove it or replace it entirely.

However this is, professionally, a lot riskier. It's a lot harder to sell, can generate a lot of work for a lot of people, may take awhile before it pays off, or may run counter to the 'roadmap' or other personal/organizational investment in foobar. Thus such avenues are implicitly discouraged. This leads to a lot of small 'improvements' but maybe not the long-term or radical changes you'd optimally pursue.

For other applications the OSS driver has been found competitive and even faster for some applications.

None of that addresses the point. Without third party, independent verification of their servers and the code that is running open source provides limited (if any) improvements to privacy and security.

I've noticed my two banks vary wildly in how they respond to this (I'm non-US). Once I was notified that they were replacing my card due to suspected fraud only after I called them to ask why my card was being declined everywhere. The other bank disabled my card when placing an order on Doordash while in LA and I got an SMS, a notification from Apple Pay and a phone call almost immediately.

I think the computing party is just getting started. Non-trivial domestic AI will be here within a couple of years, personal robotics 5-10 years after that.

The current ad mania sucks, but it's going to have to evolve or die.

I don't miss much of the past. Pocket phone computers, tablets, GPS, video calling, massive data storage, and the potential of renewables and distributed energy grids are all awesome. Like.

Even social has its moments.

The real problems are cultural and political. There's been some movement there, but not nearly enough. The system has nearly enough energy to go through a phase change soon, and that's when things will get really interesting.
... this is like walking through a minefield, but here it goes.

A lot of the illnesses they're talking about in the article, like IBS, lower back pain, and CFS have a strong psychosomatic component to it for a lot of people. They essentially say this in the article--something like "this won't work for malaria, but it will work for pain."

This can be a really controversial position, and it gets really twisted by a lot of people. No I'm not advocating mind-body dualism. What I'm saying is that there's top-down influences on physical symptom perception and that probably influences bottom-up processes, leading to some sort of vicious circle.

I think a lot of these psychosomatic conditions are really explained by the same processes involved in the nocebo effect. There have been studies to support this, showing that psychosomatic patients report more nocebo effects in control conditions than other patients and controls.

The idea you're discussing--reassurance effects--is interesting and actually really understudied I think. However, I think there's an equally plausible hypothesis, that you're kind of fighting negative psychosomatic effects with positive psychosomatic effects in certain situations.

I don't think that's all of the placebo effect, but I do think there's some broader causal system involved that encompasses placebo effects, nocebo effects, and psychosomatic illnesses and effects, including more psychosomatic psychiatric conditions (e.g., conversion disorder, psychogenic seizures, etc.), as well as psychological effects on disease process (e.g., stress effects on inflammation).

I kind of wish this area of research didn't get so bogged down with political infighting, which invariably happens. Patients start insisting that we're being dismissive by discussing psychosomatic processes, some researchers will spuriously start criticizing other researchers for advocating Cartesian dualism, as political smear tactic, when the real issues pertain to emergent processes and top-down mutual influences. It's a very interesting area of research with lots of potential, but tends to get oversimplified really quickly to score political points.
I wish I could elect to have my recovery option be painful. I'll use a yubikey and backup codes. If I lose both of those, mail me something to confirm my identity, all the while notifying me on all other channels (email, sms, phone) that an account reset is happening. I am okay waiting a few weeks for access to my account if I manage to lose my primary and backup access methods.

Yes, it should, but how precise is this method and does it take the full DNA into account?

Edit: the fish reproduces gynogenetically, that is the offspring contains only maternal DNA. But this does not mean that mutations in DNA do not occur.

They also say to use genetic sampling which translates into my understanding as an approximate method.

I don't understand what you are trying to say with your answer, as the person said "we used to be working on important problems" and you responded with a list of random technologies. Technologies can sometimes be "problems", and sadly often are :/, but that means that they were failed solutions.

A list of hard problems we could be tackling: 1) the world is going to run out of fossil fuels, 2) we are destroying the human ecosystem by global warming, 3) there exists a very large amount of inequality between the upper and lower class in our society and the gap is only increasing, 4) we have more and more humans of whom society demands "work" to get "pay" in order to survive even as we come up with ways of replacing more and more "jobs" with "automation", 5) there are many subsets of our population divided by axes such as race and sexuality which are discriminated against by others in both direct and indirect systematic ways, 6) we have a limited number of antibiotics that are generally safe for widespread usage and pathogens are adapting, 7) for numerous and potentially diverse reasons an increasingly large fraction of our society is being turned off of science and has stopped believing in basic things like the benefits of even our oldest and most trusted vaccinations, 8) humans continue to die from diseases like cancer, 9) governments and companies have begun to usher in a dystopian era of surveillance under the guise of protecting us from terrorists and spam and serving us advertisements.

A couple of these problems can be addressed with the technologies you listed, but even in the core of some of these communities that want to address problems 5, 7, and 9 you honestly just end up finding a lot of people who are exacerbating problems 2, 3, 4, and (annoyingly) 9.

I despise the cloud :(. It was just so much harder for people to abuse the crap out of us when the concept of a computer was something that, even if it could connect to other computers to get information, was not something that fundamentally relied on other computers and which stored all of its information on other computers and could be remotely controlled by other computers. We are to the point where arguing that I "own" the device on which I am typing this message almost doesn't make sense: I am borrowing it from Apple and I can only hope that they don't screw me too hard :(.
You need to build up your network. Go to meet ups, get involved in open source projects, make sure to keep your online presence up to date (linked in, github).

If you're quite new, it will take some time to build a strong network of people in the industry that can refer you to current job openings.

When looking for actual jobs to apply for, I'd recommend sticking to recruiters at least at the beginning of your career. There are some good recruiters out there that will help you get jobs to advance your career.

So just send your CV to some local recruiting agencies, search for jobs online (LinkedIn, stack overflow careers and other job sites) and submit your CV there. This should generate a lot of leads, you should get some emails and calls from recruiters. Take it form there.

Later in your career when you will have built a strong network you will often be sent leads for good jobs by people from your network (ex colleagues etc).

This is actually what inspires me as a physicist. So back in the day people were looking for an encapsulated theory of why the hell things happened. The Principle of Least Time was the original theory, but that didn't make sense (look at a spring) so then there was The Principle of Least Energy, but that also wasn't good enough. Until Hamilton came along and gave us the Principle of Least Action. This is the basis for all physics. All of our laws incorporate this theory. Einstein took it one direction and Maxwell took it another and Planck another. So all of these phenomena are basically the same. Just different manifestations.

Physics isn't 10,000 problems it's 10,000 manifestations of like 5.

You'd be surprised how many websites won't accept SELECT or DROP as valid usernames.
I wrote a pretty significant process wrapper in python at $PREVIOUS_JOB. The problem I have with these loose wrappers around subprocess is that they're, imho, solving the wrong problem. Or, maybe better put, not solving _enough_ of the problem.

Imagine writing a wrapper for "grep". It may work in one environment, but if you need portability, you're going to quickly realize that there are nuances in implementation and the actual calling interface. Now you're handling branching logic in your application code based on platform, version, etc.

Interfacing with a command line tool shouldn't be thought of much different than a remote HTTP/ReST API talking text/plain instead of application/json. You're looking for your "client wrapper" to handle argument validation, parsing, versioning, etc.
As I can't read the article, I'm going to guess:

Is it when the Atlantic broke through to create the Med?
No, no, no, that was one of my favorite revolutions, I'm so industrial it scares people.

Still I do remember a slower time when 7-11 was the only thing open on Sunday or outside of 9-5 otherwise, naturally it was open from 7am to 11pm.

What I mean is when you see the way that thousands of people across multiple disasters react to complete loss of power for an uncertain period, it depends strongly on the confidence in abilities to survive without very much beyond the bare necessities. Probably just as much as the actual abilities.

To me this makes post-industrial survival exercises as worthwhile as some of the paleo enthusiasts have reported here about their experiences already.

Physically we are not sure. Mathematically the equations could be taught in the same class. (Exaggeration a little as they in very complicated but hopefully you see my point) they come from similar places.
This study's result should really not be surprising to anyone. The idea that somehow genetics + big picture environmental conditions are determinative of outcome seems so superficially unlikely to be true to me that I'm kind of baffled that anyone thought otherwise.

I'm sure many aspects of an individuals development are largely determined by genetics and big picture environment (anything else would be non-adaptive). But it kind of seems obvious that within the range of reasonably adaptive differences, the outcome is likely often chaotic. That should be the default presumption, and absent some clear reason to expect otherwise, is what they should have expected.

I've tried OCaml, which I absolutely loved. I'd considered approaching F# before, since the language seems promising from a functional perspective, but I'm skeptical of the multiparadigm claim. In your experience, is F#'s OOP support beginner friendly? Also, is there decent literature available on F# as an OOP language?
There's way more from where this came from. Brazil is a nightmare in that regard.

STO is a good framework

It's a fairly specific term so trotting it out for everything makes it pointless and obscures its actual meaning. Every time someone misunderstands something about information security (or someone thinks they do), someone else comes along and says 'Security through obscurity!' or 'Trusting trust!' or something about source code. It turns these things from terminology and concepts into magical-sounding incantations that really just mean 'I disagree/don't like this'.

This is analogous to the more familiar overuse of 'ad hominem' and 'straw man' and so on. It's not a good thing.

From this literal definition the entirety of our lives could be defined as simply "taking drugs". We chase the high by doing various things.

The difference between taking drugs and doing these things is that the reward mechanism is the product of many years of evolution, whereas drugs can sometimes produce harmful side effects due to not being fully fine tuned to our own bodies' expectations.

The distinction would go away entirely if drugs were more sophisticated. But in that case it would pretty much be the end of life as we've hitherto experienced it.
SMS as a second factor is fine. As bad as it is it can't reduce your security compared to just a password.

I did run an older version of binwalk on the firmware image, but it was unable to unpack anything and only printed false positives. I have now tried the newest version and it's able to unpack everything and display a lot of information. The PE modules in UEFI seems to be signed as these signatures are found many times:

Certificate in DER format (x509 v3)

Very interesting to dig around in the firmware, I even found the boot splash image. Definitely a time sink, but fun.
Nice article.
You are right in implying that we do not fully grasp the dynamics of this whole play, however that genepool argument is not a good one.

I mean "biased" in both senses. There are undeniably differences in gender distribution among various STEM and other fields. Those differences may reflect innate gender-based differences in interest, aptitude, etc.

But even if that's the case, it's very likely that gender bias in the culture also drives them. That gender bias affects the behavior of everyone involved in the process (students, parents, teachers, peers, etc).

It may even be that gender bias pervades various STEM fields at a deep structural level. That's another perspective on potential innate gender-based differences in interest, aptitude, etc.
