I agree it shouldn’t happen, but in this case, the programmer presumably made (more or less) the same mistake, writing out a variable called password unencrypted, possibly after copying it to a variable or structure field called passwordhint.

Thinking of that, this may be an example of a copy-paste bug (https://www.viva64.com/en/a/0068/), where the programmer wrote

strcpy(&r.password , &encryptedpassword);
strcpy(&r.passwordhint, &password);

instead of

strcpy(&r.password , &encryptedpassword);
strcpy(&r.passwordhint, &passwordhint);

(Hopefully using the safer strncpy, but that’s orthogonal to this argument)

That was my point exactly. If you're the top dog, you can do this kind of stuff and get away with it. What the future holds, with an ascendant China, is that they will continue to put this kind of pressure on other countries and we will be unable to counter it so it will work against us.

Funny thing, the problems with deep learning sketched in the article are pretty much exactly the same in nature as problems with machine learning 10 years ago (when other algorithms such as SVM, LVQ and others outperformed NNs for a bit), except of course that the examples of what a ML algorithm could do back then were much less impressive.

That lack of real-world knowledge, understanding and conceptualisation feeding back on itself has always been a big unknown roadblock standing in the way of AI. And of course now, with the modern and improving impressive results of deep learning, there appears to be less and less cool stuff to solve before we finally have to face this roadblock.

But it's the same roadblock.

But, maybe the advances in deep learning will provide some tools to chip away at it. That wordvector stuff seems promising, if it can do (Paris - France + Italy) ~= (Rome), that's a good stab at realworld knowledge, it seems.

I used to study Machine Learning at university until 2009 (until personal circumstances forced me to abandon it). But even after that, when I read the first papers and talks about deep learning (back when it was still about Boltzman networks) I got very excited and have been following it closely. Except for the part where I haven't yet played around with it myself apart from some very tiny experiments :) (I only recently acquired hardware to have a stab at it, so maybe soon. The libraries available seem easy enough to use, and many of the concepts I learned in ML are still applicable).

Thanks for your reply @lrichardson. I got the impression that ReactNative was having a hard-time within AirBnB lately due to a lukewarm response from Native Developers. (You mentioned this in an interview). Sorry for my mis-interpretation.

Where does AirBnB actually use ReactNative, and where is it purely native? I was in the understanding the move to ReactNative was not going "the way you preferred".

I can imagine there are some roadblocks using it everywhere. Or some hesitation from Native Developers.

For me also: Using JavaScript as a language run inside a interpreter inside my app doesn't seem like a smart move. Also native like navigation, activity lifecycle, animation etc are probably hard to get right with React Native.

Just so I make sure I understand you correctly: you're complaining about the positioning of the label on the key (since it has to be shifted due to the notch caused by the trackpoint)? That is, you're not complaining about the key itself, merely the label?

They didn't change the Fn/Ctrl order for this model. Every ThinkPad since they first added the Fn key, including the older models with the classic keyboard, has had them in this order, so why would they switch them now? And as fencepost mentioned, you can swap them in the BIOS.

Definitely agree on the resolution. It's one of the two reasons I'm not ordering a T25, as it would be a massive downgrade from the high-DPI displays on my ThinkPad Yoga 460 and MacBook Pro Retina 15".

I used the MBPR as my main Windows machine for a couple of years even though I had a perfectly good ThinkPad W520 with twice the memory and twice the SSD storage. Even though I missed the ThinkPad key layout and especially the TrackPoint, the MBPR's high-DPI display made up for it. When I switched back to a ThinkPad this year, I made sure it was a high-DPI model.

The other reason I didn't order, surprisingly enough, is the keyboard layout. It's fairly obvious that the T25 is a one-off hobby machine and there is no intention to continue offering the classic keyboard. At this point I've made my peace with the 6-row keyboards, and even though I'd prefer the classic 7-row, what good would it do me to switch back to it for the next couple of years and then have to switch back to a 6-row on my next ThinkPad?

> The territory's $73 billion debt crisis has left agencies like the state power company broke. It abandoned most basic maintenance in recent years, leaving the island subject to regular blackouts.

The Federal government can provide disaster relief (and should have done a better job here), but it's job isn't to rebuild local infrastructure (especially infrastructure that was already marginal due to decades of neglect). In that sense, Puerto Rico isn't different from Illinois, Detroit, Flint, or numerous other places where decades of mismanagement have hollowed out the resources of the local government. If a major disaster hit Detroit, I think you'd be surprised at how long it would take to recover.
But the contrapositive is logically equivalent to the original statement. "If aliens exist, we'll have evidence by 2035" is logically equivalent to "If we don't have evidence by 2035, aliens don't exist".

But it won't be taken that way.

Now, I'm overstating the attention-grabbing headline to reflect a greater degree of certainty than Shostak genuinely believes. But he's stating it with more certainty than he genuinely believes, at least in the headline.

How Europe’s Last Dictatorship Became a Tech Hub
Well, yeah. Some people do.

I mean, World War II happened, because (some) Germans wanted to conquer more land to have room for the Aryan race to grow. Not to mention wanted to kill anyone who didn't fit their ideal. (Or think of, e.g., the inquisition, if you want a non-Godwin's-law breaking example).

I'm not saying it's necessarily happening in this case, but yeah, it's possible for people to just really, genuinely believe that other people who aren't the same race as you, or who don't believe the same things as you do, should be killed.

Hell, 60 years ago much of the US population thought it made sense that people who had darker skin than they did should be segregated.

We can certainly look for root causes, but you really, truly have to accept that some root causes might be religious in nature, not rational, not what most people growing up in a Western society might consider normal. It's not always a case of "well there must be valid reasons for their actions", unless you choose to completely ignore history.
This looks really cool, but I'm a little bit confused about why this needs to be decentralized. You could theoretically just implement this network as a saas instead of on top of a blockchain. You could even still do all the financials with ether but just maintain the state on servers somewhere.

If there's a problem with the ethereum core protocol, solidity compiler, wallet software, colony contracts you could lose everything. Vitalik already said that there probably wouldn't be anymore hard forks.

The US military relies on the ability to rapidly solve these kind of problems anywhere in the world (even across “big water” from the Continental US) including on-demand road clearing/building with either minimal pre-existing infrastructure or heaving damage to pre-existing infrastructure rendering it unusable.

US law provides broad authority for the use of military resources for disaster relief. It's a failure of the executive branch senior leadership if the need for such resources is not identified and acted on in a timely fashion.
What is non-standard about it? Every ThinkPad since they first added an Fn key has had it in the same place, and every MacBook has it there too. It would be dumb for them to arbitrarily change it now, but you can easily switch it in the BIOS if you prefer the other order.
It is, but it is also a very true one. I've seen way too many terrible benchmarks of MySQL and Postgres to remember them all, because of misconfiguration, not understanding best practices which apply to each, etc. I can see why they'd restrict them.

I would prefer they worked on something much simpler for now: the ability to mark a table as "log all full table scans on this table unless the SQL query contains the string xxxxx".

This would make it easy to catch missing indexes without logging all queries and without the nightly batch updates which are expected to do full table scans.

Actually it depends on the processor. Nowadays it's rare, but in the past there used to be software TLBs where a TLB miss did trap into the kernel, and there was no radix tree-like page table structure in the definition of the architecture.

SPARC and MIPS for example worked like this, and server POWER chips had a hashed page table that many OSes populated lazily, effectively treating it like a (more efficient) software TLB.

We are witness to the return of menace and mischief by a motivated adversary, nonetheless they have always had their hand in US and EU politics.

The revisionist, election hacking narrative is a massive thoughtform, propped up by some savvy scoop every couple of weeks just to die down and go nowhere. Everything the media covers is tainted by an air of sentimentality and idealism, hardly great elements of good journalism, but it sells papers.

Those who think they really know men like Putin, those who believe they really know and understand evil, you will never know them. People who think they know live in a world of black and white, right and wrong, living within society but not operating in the raw layers of society where people make civilization a reality. Men like Putin, they live in this space, desperately trying to keep their reality/world alive. The way they do this is the same how we keep ours alive, they lie. Russians tell very good lies, they are very good at making whole new truths, but if you look very closely, it starts to come apart.
In really new linux there is a preadv2 sysscall that was merged. preadv2 supports a flag RWF_NOWAIT to tell the kernel to not block if a read requires uncached data.

This lets you play around with policy for blocking reads in user space. Examples: try to make progress on partially read data & queue up the rest on another thread; try performing reads from your network thread and if unavailable queue up the blocking read onto another disk thread & serve a different request.

There's no RWF_NOWAIT support for write in pwritev2. But it's technically possible to implement it and if your write will cause a writeout to disk return EWOULDBLOCK.

Global Challenges: 12 Risks that threaten human civilization [pdf]
There's a recurring theme in this thread :

> [insert internet company here] did nothing wrong! It's the reader's responsibility to think critically!

Obviously, there's a lot of truth to that. I'm sure everyone here broadly agrees with the concept of personal responsibility. I just don't see how making this blatantly obvious point gets us anywhere. It's like working with a bad colleague who management won't fire. Of course they're failing at their duties, but so what? You're stuck with them. It seems weirdly nihilistic to just accept the situation, instead of trying to improve it by making the colleague suck less.

Personally, I think it's OK to trust experts. We broadly trust doctors, engineers, researchers and lawyers to inform us about their specific fields. Journalism is different, in part because of the 1st amendment : the government can regulate who's qualified to give you legal advice, but not who's qualified to inform you about geopolitics. That's a feature, with some undesirable side effects. My contention is that curated fact checking is an acceptable, if imperfect, way to mitigate those side effects. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but not every opinion is entitled to the front page of Google.

Correct for x86/x64. TLB misses require the CPU to lookup the location in the current active page table which means another memory lookup. I'm not sure how the cache hierarchy works for page table lookups following a TLB miss, but worst case, it's equivalent to an additional L3 cache miss.

As a non American, looking from the outside, it's hypocrisy that the US is offended someone else doing what they have been doing... Just Russia got caught and is being called out.

But I can understand the outrage, and in no way condoning Russia's actions... They have taken it to publicized extremes stoking aggressive behaviour to other nations and particularly the US
