The kinds of systems picking up these stories isn't "AI". PageRank I wouldn't classify as AI.

The real issue is that any system which attempts to organize or curate untrusted information is subject to adversarial attacks.

AI up until this point, has been mostly trained on labeled, human curated data sets. But as it starts to get trained on real user input, it'll be subject to attacks by people trying to game it. AI needs to address this robustly, but it's in it's infancy as you say.

I mean, we're still working on bias issues like machines learning that "doctor" is "male" because you trained on a corpus of English text, and therefore, most of the input text referenced a doctor as male, and that's the AI getting poisoned by cultural biases, which wasn't even an organized attack.
Sure, but I thought these guys were making fun of Windows for having to reinstall every couple of years.

I have to reset the SMC or the computer will restart by itself while I'm in the middle of programming..?

He's arguing in favor of a working system. If MS can't get win10 to work properly, then OS segmentation is the solution, not the problem.
I am amazed at how bad this situation is.

> Something happens.

> /pol/, being /pol/, flipped the switch that generates semi-random information around a subject, seasoned with bias-of-the-day

> some posters on /pol/ decide to blame Geary Danley for the Vegas shooting

> google indexes /pol/

Given that:

> Searches for _words_ yield content related to _words_

> Searches for a name yield content related to a name

> Searches for "Geary Danley" yield content related to "Geary Danley"

This ensues:

> Media shitstorm because google is "citing 4chan to spread fake Vegas shooter news"

This only happens because:

1) We are expecting google to feed us only the truth?
Otherwise we would say "someone took google seriously and arrived to the wrong conclusions"

2) We don't care the slightest what URL we follow from google?
Otherwise we would say "someone who doesn't know what /pol/ is is taking it seriously"

3) We find it easier to blame some conspiracy than to take a step back and think?
We ascribe blame to google.

4) All of the above?

I feel I am living in some bizarro world where everyone's feelings and expectations must be met, and any deviation from this will result in riots and name calling[0].

>> they should've spent time on Slashcode and made that better for a larger audience and they could've maybe turned out to be something like Drupal or WordPress now.

I'd be curious as to how much of the original code is left, but there's "Forked from Slashcode, rehash is the codebase that powers SoylentNews.org, powered by mod_perl 2"

I wonder if a Perl-based CMS would have became as popular...Part of the appeal of Wordpress is any goober that 'knows a little PHP' can hack on it.
Do you think that just maybe you should stop quoting the ETSI IPR policy as if it defines the legal obligations of patent holders? It doesn’t, and I already pointed out that it doesn’t, and your own references elsewhere point out that it doesn’t.
Yes, I have the version without the touchbar, though.

Domino is one of the mathematical games, I play with my daughter. You have to make a chain of domino pieces which represent one of 28 possible combinations of two out of 0 to 6. She plays this very good.

She is a little bit too young yet for Backgammon and Chess, but I plan to play these with her.
Really appreciate you taking the time to write this down. To be fair, we found someone who thinks about this problem as much as we do. So maybe the books weren't wrong after all ;) It sounds like you've built something inhouse and are using it. Would you be open to us emailing you to learn more about it?
I can't talk about the largest production database, but our largest internal cluster we've tested on so far is 128 machines and hit each one with our own continuous load generators and a chaos monkey (who turns on and off machines at random).

The new AMD CPUs look otherwise good, but it seems they still don't run rr. Giving up rr is not a reasonable option if the purpose of the workstation is developing software in the kind of language that gdb can make sense of (C, C++, Rust).

It's still pretty disingenuous to suggest the process will usually take several days just for a "password reset". This is a pretty specific scenario where you've lost access to a device associated with your Apple ID, you're using two factor auth, and you've forgotten what your apple ID is. This isn't a password reset workflow at all.
"Previous messages will be readable by the attacker with the stolen subkey even if that subkey gets revoked..."

This assumes the attacker also knows the key's password. And we all use very strong, unique passwords on keys, right?

That's not really a sustainable solution, though. At some point, 3rd party developers quit supporting old systems and Apple quits issuing security patches.

If I had my way, time would've froze with 10.6.8.
It's actually not a very good point because NSSecureTextField inherits from NSTextField and it's specifically designed not to protect from programmatic access to the text.

Of course, you can argue about the design but it's still not a dynamic vs. static type issue.

I've always wondered why there doesn't exist something like this, but architected like Apache's mod_security: something you run for a while in "training" mode to let it learn your usage patterns, which then spits out a hints file (in mod_security's case, a behaviour whitelist; in this case, a migration to add a set of indexes + views).

As a bonus, it could (like mod-security) also have a "production mode" where the DB consumes that hints file and applies the instructions in it as an overlay, rather than as a permanent patch to your schema; that way, you'd be able to re-train after changes and then swap out the hints in production by just swapping out the file and HUPping the DB server (which would hopefully do the least-time migration to turn the old indexes into the new indexes), rather than needing to scrub out all the old indexes before building new ones.

Then quit supporting these companies by working for them!

The elite have this country over a barrel, it sucks. All anyone that isn't rich can do is to choose to die before they will work for these companies.

We've got tons of young men and women that sign up to be in the armed forces who happily go die to enrich the already wealthy...and we celebrate them!

So as a society can we start shaming workers that work for Palanatir, Comcast, Pfizer, Equifax? You being on your death-bed and unable to afford food is not an excuse to make the world worse. Die with some fucking integrity.
I totally concur with that last comment. I had to reset my iPhone 7 plus and watch series 3, twice over the weekend to get the Activity app to sync properly. Which is a shame considering Apple's reputation for building "air-tight" software and products and not rushing features to market because they want to get it "right".
This is why almost all ORMs create a transaction and have a "unit-of-work" that encompasses a single transaction.

Race conditions are always surprising. Fortunately, we have a simple remedy for that: transactions. :)

Suppose you have another connection and it runs DELETE FROM t WHERE id = (SELECT MAX(id) FROM t). If that winds up in the middle, it could screw things up for you. Is it likely to happen? No, but again... the remedy is simple. Also, the scenario you describe seems simple enough, but what happens when you bulk insert a few thousand rows?

By the way, with Postgres, there really is no way to not have a transaction. If you don't issue BEGIN, it treats the statement as a small transaction. So you're getting the same overhead on a single statement, if your plan was to somehow avoid the overhead.

If this makes you question the database's usability, I have some bad news for you: all ACID compliant databases work this way. The "atomic" unit is the transaction, not the connection. The consistency guarantees pertain to the transaction, not the connection. This is not a weird thing about Postgres, this is how they all work (except, of course, that MySQL can't always roll back aspects of a transaction, like DDL).
Google do not suprise me anymore.. its sad that we have greedy companies like google existing..
Japanese Vending Machines at Night Juxtaposed with a Wintry Hokkaido Landscape
the situation of our planet, all the things i said above (in particular non-gravitational locked, magnetic field, water & continents) is a 1/N event.

I feel like N is very large. When you factor out all the stars of the 100 billion in the milky way, I think you get something unlikely, let alone on a planet in the habitable zone.

also, something on the other side of the milky way (100,000 light years), is also far away, so its not like we have the entire milky way to choose from.
It sounds like you have a hardware problem with your Mac. Time Machine and wake from sleep could be signs of bad RAM...maybe the audio problem, too. Or maybe the extra stuff your work installs? In my experience (for all platforms) that software is low-level and of dubious quality.

OTOH, as long as your hardware is decently supported, I haven't really had fundamental complaints about desktop Linux in the 10+ years I've used it full time. It sounds like for certain laptops there has been good support for a couple years.

Typically, I'll get about 30-100 days of uptime on my mac laptops (usually a software update or installing a kernel extension). On my Linux desktop or server it'll be closer 100-300 days (again, usually kernel patches). Working with OpenGL heavy software, once or more a year there will be a bad combination of Nvidia drivers and kernel that could cause your desktop to crash during certain operations.
I think the purpose is to try and prevent benchmarks being posted that are on improperly configured or optimized systems and therefore misleading, not to "hide" the performance characteristics of the database. That said, Oracle sucks and I can never imagine using their software.
Redrawing the PDF's and scanning them would likely not scale linearly with the amount of money you spend on labor. Labor tends to have diminishing marginal returns. The cost of hiring two workers is more than double that of hiring one worker because there is additional complexity in coordinating the workers.

Also, for the record, this comment I'm making right now is just pedantic.
I ran a model of MacBook that didn't wake from sleep at all after upgrading to Sierra.

The point is fund managers often know something is going to happen in the future, but not exactly when. Of course God would know exactly when the market will tank and rebalance accordingly. However a fund manager doesn't have quite that much insight.

The fund manager who got the most out of the credit default swaps in the long run had to pull large trick in his fund to prevent his investors from firing him just months before the crash proved he was right. Inf act there was a delay between when the losers realized there was a problem and quit throwing good money after bad and when the investments actually went bad. Even if you invested on the very last date you could, you would have lost money for a short time (I'm not sure how long, probably just a couple weeks) as the losers used every trick they could come up with to prevent the crash.
I wonder if they just don't have enough power users of the OS left that aren't also just developers using CLI? ANY power user of the OS itself has seen a ton of head-scratching changes over the years, and I figure that the product managers just don't know who the features were for or what they're used for.
It's weird that people are blaming a search engine for providing relative links for discussion on a topic. Again, it's a search engine first and foremost, not a media outlet. It indexes media outlets.

It shouldn't be Google's job to vet articles. That should fall on the end user, and this push to hide "fake news" is just asking for more problems down the road.
I’m not sure what your intent is here. “Sewers are conscious” seemed to be a reductio ad absurdum but now you seem to be arguing that complexity is consciousness. Regardless, I haven’t proposed any mechanism for consciousness to arise so I don’t have any “position to support” there.
Now I want a Faraday cage closet.
Yes, of course and I am a web dev and have lots of windows open, but this is definitely a lot worse than anything I've used before.

I personally think that it's the screen. Not sure. As we're speaking, Finder is taking up 12GB of memory as well as lots of CPU: https://imgur.com/a/RwSvI (I just installed High Sierra 2 days ago, though).
Whoa, ok, let's back up here for a second, because I feel like this got a little lost in the shuffle: the dismissive sarcasm was a response to something specific, not to smart contract security of the Colony Network.

The three points above are all valid and absolutely important, and should be consistently and properly considered by anyone developing smart contracts or anything security related. There's no disagreement about that.

popcorncowboy, however, wanted to make an argument that assumed a security breach in order to make a broader point about "code-is-law" and DAOs in general, but was waiting for a response to unveil his second statement (which you can read now). The sarcasm was a response to the rhetorical and argumentative style of popcorncowby, not an illustration of the Colony dev attitudes toward the security of the smart contracts that will comprise the Colony network.

EDIT: phrasing
>* One of the consequences of your argument is that the only opinions that matter in the gun debate are those of gun enthusiasts.*

So, I see where you'd be getting that impression, but that's not what I mean to convey.

I don't think that you have to be a "gun enthusiast" to have a worthwhile opinion on public policy--you just have to have some actual first-hand experience and knowledge of the thing.

My concern is that it seems like the majority of people who push for gun control are not educated in firearms safety or operation, and so are vocal but easily mislead.

The aim would be to have Cython generating C code that compiles into extensions compatible with PyPy. I'm guessing this is most easily achieved by doing a bit of work on the Cython end, and a little bit of work on the PyPy end.

I had a four-digit Slashdot UID (just over 4000, I think). I have lots of great memories of technical discussions. As a young man who had managed to install Linux on his computer but still knew little about programming or the mighty Unix tradition, it was amazing to be able to participate there in discussions with so many big names in *nix or Free Software.

But some of my fondest memories come from trolling there with another account. Trolling Slashdot often wasn't like how trolling works on other news sites, where some user tries to make some controversial point or racist remark related to the submitted story in order to spark arguments and take the conversation off course.

Instead, troll posts on Slashdot were usually completely unrelated to the submitted story. They consisted of themes that were sometimes coarse and tasteless, but which fascinatingly evolved over time as each troll adapted the copy/paste to new circumstances or his own personal whims. The million variations on "BSD is dying" is a good example, but my personal favourite was "X touched my junk". And while I was never so cruel to link to Last Measure, I was grimly impressed by the work that had gone into it, completely with having an autoplay audio file "I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORN!!!!" which must have cost a least one or two cubicle dwellers their jobs.
I interpret that quote as meaning that swearing signals independence, independence signals competence.

Competence in this case means the ability to do something genuinely, without strings attached (independent, no hidden motives). This is important in determining a speaker's legitimacy, truthfulness, the provenance of what they are saying.

It depends on what you do. I have a friend still happily running SL. He's curious about the new version of Lightroom, but still using the old version just fine.
I did the same. I tried to use the Apple mouse for a couple months, I really did, but I felt my wrists turning into frozen fish and decided enough was enough. (This was the previous generation mouse where you needed to replace the AA batteries yourself, like a barbarian. Are the current ones shaped any differently at least?). Brought in my old Das Keyboard while I was at it. World of difference. And I don't feel any less cool, despite there being several physical buttons and a hole on the side of my mouse.

> Side note, I've noticed a steady decline in quality of Apache projects for at least the past decade or so.

That's a weird trend to notice, given that none of the same developers are working on "Apache projects" generally. The ASF isn't like e.g. Mozilla; it isn't a monolithic org with its own devs. It's a meta-bureaucracy that takes ownership of projects for legal (copyright + patent assignment) reasons, and then offers project-management charters to member projects, giving them process and structure for contribution without a canonical owner.

An ASF project is sort of like a "working group" (e.g. Khronos, WHATWG), except that it's usually one or two large corporations and a bunch of FOSS devs, rather than being exclusively a bunch of corporations.

---

On the other hand, if there is a trend, it might be because of the increasing reliance on the "open core" strategy for corporate FOSS contributors to make money.

My own experience is with Cloudant, who contribute to Apache CouchDB, but also have their own private fork of CouchDB running on their SaaS. Originally, Cloudant did what they liked in their own fork, and then tried to push the results upstream. The ASF didn't like this very much, since these contributions weren't planned in the open, so Cloudant increasingly tried instead to mirror its internal issues as ASF Bugzilla issues and get public-member sign-off before going forward on private solutions. Which is kind of a shadow play, since many of the founding members of the CouchDB ASF project either have always worked for Cloudant, or have since been hired by Cloudant, so it's Cloudant employees (in their roles as ASF project members) signing off on these Cloudant issues. But it still slows things down.

A good comparison that people might be familiar with, with the same dynamics, is WebKit. The WebKit project has its own separate development organization, but most of the developers happen to also work for Apple.

Previously, WebKit was Apple and Google, but even two corporate contributors were too big for the small pond. Which, to me, shows that they were each there expecting to dominate the decision-making process, rather than find consensus with the FOSS contributors; and having an equally-powerful player that they had to form consensus with was too much for them.
Exploiting the Wi-Fi Stack on Apple Devices, Part 2
One might say it's too good.
I don't think the 940MX is worth the TDP - if they moved that to the CPU there'd be enough to put in a 35W quad-core CPU, which even in 8th gen would be a nice boost.

A lie7 with 940MX really isn't going to age well at all :(

edit: And the T470P looks like a much nicer base for this. The base (real quad-core i5) config pumped up to $1250 is a better machine! sigh
