Encryption is a joke. It's easier just to be a humane person, to treat others well... nope, they instead have to be total fucktards. Not like you all weren't warned already.

Imagine what you use for encryption. Now imagine a stick of butter and a hot butter knife melting through that butter. That's how easy it is to break your encryption.
Too wonderful. I was shocked when I see common filesystem drivers (including NTFS!), completely written in Pascal. The author must be a programming God.
It would be interesting to play human go, assisted by a go computer that doesn't say anything about moves, but rather just spits out, for each player, their current likelihood of victory if all further moves by both players were "what it would do."

That way, each player could know, at all times, (one major factor that goes into) their probability of winning. They'd still have to mentally adjust it for the likelihood of them and their opponent making an error, and how that can be controlled by making intimidating moves, etc. But it could lead to much tighter control on the abstract flow of the game.

It'd almost be like the computer was the general, issuing strategy, picking battles; and the human player the tactician, fighting those battles.
If you can't figure out what to do, that doesn't mean you have an excuse to do nothing. Get organized and act. Stop sitting there waiting for a plan to come along that you can get on board with, just start *doing stuff now.

How many people who buy an Apple computer need to install and run a C compiler?

EDIT: BTW, it is trivial to install clang without Xcode on a pristine Mac. Just typing cc in Terminal will pop up an installer that will download and install clang (and possibly other tools)
Maybe 2018 is finally the year of the Linux desktop.
Wait... :)

Jokes aside, I can see how this would be useful for sysadmin and devs - bring along your smartphone and you're set - but this would never fly for a general, even if geeky, public. Very nice approach though, curious to see where this ends up going.
This. It's really only the NIH that's systematically designed around full-time research. Coming from that tradition into some more NSF funded proposals, it's a little jarring at times to have to remember that they're inherently assuming you're at least a majority hard money, and covering something like 25% effort is "I'm done" instead of "A nice start."
ReactJS Testing Showdown| Tape vs. Jest
Given how Tizen has been managed thus far I am not having big hopes for it, but lets see.
There is a big portion of people who declare their income publicly and nobody robs them based on this information. Robbers don't work that way, instead they try to find out and target who has unprotected stuff - unlocked home, locked home with owners on vacation (targeted by spotter), open car, car on unguarded parking with known vulnerability etc. etc.

There are tens of thousands very rich people in any country and nobody robs them specifically, despite only several percent of them using active guards or security. They are robbed with the same chance as anyone else.

No, you're not active. You're still a consumer, you've just changed your consumption choices to feel less bad. Join an activist group and start protesting, picketing, learn about direct action tactics, and interrupt the smooth running of the machine that is killing you and destroying your future.

Trust me, even taking small actions against an impossibly large problem feels about 1000 times better than sitting there wringing your hands over it.

It works for specific types of work, but not necessarily as a low cost abstraction unless you pre-thread. In other words, it works well for some cases where threads are used, and horribly for others.

> It is up to the maintainers of those tools to keep up with new macOS releases.

Why should stable tools which has been working for decades constantly have to change their source-code to keep working on Apple's OS, a piece of software whose primary task is running software the user wants to run no less?

Apple should make sure the user's software runs on its OS, not the other way around. Stop apologizing for what is essentially the world's wealthiest corporation being lazy and putting the maintenance cost of its own OS on everyone else.
Keep in mind that's 400 companies produced essentially as an ancillary outcome of research. Very little research $ is actually spent deliberately toward commercialization (SBIR grants come to mind) and in many cases, the incentives are against it.

Universities are also major employers and economic engines in their own right.
It's quite interesting that with the power of today's mobile devices (multicore 1GHz+ CPUs, GPUs, 2Gb+ RAM) we still don't have a standardized interface to plug them into desktop peripherals and launch a desktop OS/GUI.

One would thing that such an universal interface would quickly become a standard offering in airports, hotels, libraries, conferences, etc.
Someone on reddit pointed out something the other day that made a lot of sense.

The GOP is afraid of subsidized health care and subsidized/free college, because it would remove the two biggest recruiting tools the army has -- free lifetime healthcare and money for college.

Without those carrots, few would sign up for the military.
So start doing something. What have you got to lose if you're already doomed? Get yourself a copy of Deep Green resistance and join an aboveground affiliate group.

This. Our overhead rate is marginally less than the cost of actually doing research.

Especially when one considers that overhead rates are also the things that fund faculty startup packages and capital improvements.
Clang is used to build macOS and 99% of macOS/iOS applications, not gcc, and Apple maintains clang for you.
now think that lawns of neatly trimmed grass are about as dumb as it gets.

Not just dumb: as far as biological life goes those trimmed lawns are pretty close to dead useless land.

Now, you don't even need the bags of flower seeds though it helps. Just mow your lawn + remove biomass only twice a year. At max 3, if you've been using fertilizer in the past, or down to 1 if the soil has gotten rid of most nutritients: by cutting grass and removing it you remove nutritients so the fast-growing plants (grasses, nettles, ...) get less of a chance while the slower growing ones (amongst which a lot of wild flowers are, as wel as plants which used to be common before mass-scale agricultuter but are now rare because they don't get a chance mostly due to the abdundance of nitrogen deposition) will florish. For maximum ecological results you'll also leave certain pieces untouched for a year (some butterflies/files/spiders need long grass to survive winter). Do this for a couple of years and your once neatly trimmed green piece of land will turn into an actually valuable piece of colourful nature. I realize this is not for everyone, e.g. it's not an ideal place to play football or teach your kids how to ride their bike, but if you have the chance it's worth giving it a shot.

An ideal tool for applying the above principle is the scythe. It has several advantages over machines like mowers and weedwackers: you learn how to use a nice tool which does not burn fossil fuel, makes no noise except from a satisfying 'swoosh', is relatively cheap yet will likely outlive you. Depending on how you use it it can be a tai-chi-like moment of peace to start the day, or you gan go full-on and treat it as your work-out instead of going to the gym. And in the end it is less work than keeping grass trimmed throughout the growing season (unless you have a robotic mower, or vast amounts of land): mowing/raking for a couple of hours twice a year doesn't even come close to the amount of time I see my neighbours running around with all their mowing devices bi-weekly even though I have more grass to cut than they have.
Oh don't worry, if army ever gets a shortage of people they will just lower standards. They can do it pretty much indefinitely.
Drone Hits Commercial Aircraft in Canada
Cyberespionage – #China-Linked group leverages recently patched .NET Flaw
I spent an hour of my life that I'll never get back reading Yudkowski's
overly-long article and I believe I can summarise it thusly:

"We don't know how AGI will arise; we don't know when; we don't know why; we
don't know anything at all about it and we won't know anything about it until
it's too late to do anything anyway; We must act now!!"

The question is- if we don't know anything about this unknowable threat, how can
we protect ourselves against it? In fact, since we're starting from 0
information, anything we do has equal chances of backfiring and bringing forth
AGI as it has of actually preventing it. Yudkowski is calling for random action,
without direction and without reason.

Besides, if Yudkowski is none the wiser about AGI than anyone else, then how is
he so sure that AGI _will_ happen, as he insists it will?

Yudkowski is fumbling around in the dark like everyone else in AI. Except he
(and a few others) has decided that it's a good strategy, under the
circumstances, to raise a hell of a racket. "It's dark!" he yells. "Beware of
the darkness!". Yeah OK, friend. It's dark- we can all tell. Why don't you pipe
down and let us find the damn light?

Find or form a group in your area, consider dumping or downgrading your existing career which may well be meaningless anyway, and take up activism. At least you won't be subject to suffocating feelings of futility and guilt. Start tomorrow, it'll take you a year or two of work to figure out your new job so you'd better get busy with it.

C has its root buried deep in programming world. A lot of things were written in C, big things, that people don't want to touch but they have to use. It's no longer as popular as, say 5 years ago. Along with Java, the popularity is being decentralized as communities of other languages get stronger (including Pascal).

Some minor space savings, maybe. But SVD runtime still scales with the cube of your vocabulary size. Good luck with SVD on a vocabulary from Wikipedia or Common Crawl. If anything, using traditional count-based approaches is good when you only can use a small corpus with tiny vocabularies (<100k) to develop your word

There's also several states that have locked in that K-12 education automatically gets $X, while higher ed gets whatever is left over. Which means when the education budget gets squeezed, the university system shoulders the burden entirely.
Yeah hold on while I take 5-10 years out to get a bio degree and publish research so I can start putting out papers saying it's too late and we've passed the point of no return, which will be denied and ignored by the people who are most likely to be causing the problem. Much better than possibly pissing anyone off.
It's my understanding that many are doing it for the money and other benefits. The benefits are the stuff of dreams for many who join. Medical, dental, education, housing, pension, genuine advancement prospects, coupled with a steady job that won't vanish in a weekend. These are big draws, especially to a person whose other option is a zero hours contract at a chain store. I've been a reservist (non-US) for almost 20 years; I certainly am not in it for anything involving serving my country, although of course everyone has their own motivations.
While this makes a lot of sense, I really hope it's not true.
Political scientists gathered to discuss our democracy. They're scared
Be careful, the CFTC uses a very, very broad definition of commodity:

The definition of “commodity” in the CEA is broad.
─ It can mean a physical commodity, such as an agricultural product (e.g., wheat, cotton)
or natural resource (e.g., gold, oil).
─ It can mean a currency or interest rate.
─ The CEA definition of “commodity” also includes “all services, rights, and interests . . . in which contracts for future delivery are presently or in the future dealt in.”

So a stock option, for example, fits into this description. But don't mix it with other definitions of commodity used in different contexts.

What if existence (and "Nature"/etc 's creations as a subset thereof) embodied the negation of Pascal's wager?

edit:

There's a theory in informational physics that a single bit of information can never be destroyed (the "minus-1-th law of thermodynamics").

What if we, as conscious beings, although we were the wisest and smartest and most intelligent and most cogent animals.. barely were able to recognize less than a 1/googleplex'th worth of the information that occurs around us, all the time?

Then what determines whether or not a person succeeds, or is good at making decisions? Basically, whether or not they are good at intersubjective correlation, rather than objective correlation with our environment. This is just to say, if Allah answers your prayers, perhaps is it really you recognizing what it is that others would permit you to use from them with little complaint but to great advantage to you (, inshallah,) ? This would also permit, in some way or another (I imagine), for us to be little more than a self-reflecting (however illusory) random fluctuation of perfect initial conditions.

You can read the article as “it is a problem for the army to recruit”, but also as “we in the US have a health & crime problem”.
When shit breaks in the new version, people should stop upgrading to the latest macos!

Apple has found that they don't need to put effort into api backwards compatibility because people are still freaking upgrading. It costs money to ensure backwards compatibility, so not doing it is desirable. The end user has to put pressure on Apple to do is.
No, of course not. An actual, genuinely real just world would be amazing.

But that would also include eliminating luck or random chance, which just ain't happening.

Anyone who wants to attack you will try to intercept/MITM close to you. Unless they have a lot of resources, they will have a hard time finding the datastream between CF servers and origin.

A typical scenario is surfing in public wifi (cafe, airport). Someone could identify a victim and MITM the connection. If the connection is secure to CF, they'll be mostly out of luck.

> We have an existence proof that this should be possible.

Not guaranteed. The human brain has diffusion signalling (i.e. neurotransmitters passing out of the synaptic cleft, into a neighbouring one, and activating a receptor on some other spacially-local axon as a result.) And one of those signalling molecules is thought to represent, in its intensity, a confidence-interval bias adjustment (i.e. a pruning bias factor for MCTS.) So the brain's MCTS-equivalent process may rely on some extra-graphical properties of the brain-as-embodied-meat-thing.
Pilot wave theory is actually a small change to the mathematical model in QM, but it is one which never affects anything that you can measure in the lab.

It is correct to say that all interpretations lead to the same predictions, but not actually correct to say they're the same mathematical model.

If you use inotifywait a lot, I recommend trying http://entrproject.org/ which solves a lot of minor annoyances with inotifywait. It makes it easy to e.g. rebuild all web pages, restart your simplehttpserver and reload the current Firefox tab every time on of your `git ls-files` changes. The "restart server"-part can be fiddly with plain inotifywait, trivial with `entr -r`.
Good point! We'll add that to the site. Thank you!

I expect him to say something along the lines of, "I don't know, let me see what I can find out and I'll get back to you."

Imagine your lawn mower broke, and took it to a repair shop. You complain it doesn't switch on. The repair guy says maybe there is a piece of grass that got inside, and that's why it's not working. You say that sounds like a really bad design if a lawn mower can't handle a piece of grass. He says, "Oh, well I use some other model."

How is that even remotely helpful?
> Unless the automation creates free trucks for all to use

This is indeed pretty much the basis for these questions to arise. Not free of course, but such marginal cost that ownership would not mean much.

When instead of 50 cars / trucks, you only need 15 and their cost is shared among the local community, with the price of buying one / maintainance very low due to automation, it will make sense to have this kind of system.

Doesn't mean ownership would disappear, simply that for most people it would be more convenient / cheaper to use this system, and as such most people would choose to do so.
My guess is that this is related to spatial memory. A lot of memorizing techniques somehow use space to anchor memories on; eg the old Greeks used to walk down the city’s main street while rehearsing speeches, and anchoring topics spatially onto the buildings.

A textbook is not exactly a street you are walking down, but it does have a certain physical place for every topic, and our brain can anchor it there, like „let me see, differential equations are in the last third.. ah there is this other topic, I know that diff equations come right after that“.
I think the only thing about go that enables this technique is "turn-based perfect information 0-sum game".
Pilot wave just moves the quantum magic/weirdness/conspiracy to a particle whose trajectory we cant see, that "rides" the pilot wave in a manner that grossly violates our notions of cause and effect. Under pilot wave theory, you can still build the same computer, but the explanation for the magic efficiency is explained in terms of the magical movements of the rider particle.
Btw, Wave-style OT needs a central server, but there are other forms of OT that do not. They mention this in your link. If your OT system can satisfy the TP2 propery you can do n-n synchronization but still have what you'd call an OT system.

> Three months later, Juan would be facing a murder rap. The slaying in question had taken place on May 12, the same night he was at Dodger Stadium — 20 miles from the crime. Investigators didn’t buy his story. As covered in the Netflix documentary “Long Shot,” out Friday, Juan’s innocence would ultimately rest on a near brush with fame — more specifically, with Larry David and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

*

> Show’ producers allowed Melnik to view their footage from that day. He sourced eight 10-minute tapes before finding his holy grail: Juan, in his No. 27 Kevin Brown shirt, and his young daughter walking to their seats after returning from the concession stand.

*

> The discovery seemed a home run for Juan, who by then had been in jail over a month. Still, the prosecutor argued that the footage was from 9:10 p.m. — and the murder had occurred at 10:32. Juan ostensibly could have left early, driven to the scene of the crime, and still had time to kill Puebla.

It's worth reading the whole thing. They were going to push the death penalty for the guy. Eventually, his lawyer finds other evidence proving he wasn't there. After sitting in jail for five and a half months, he's finally let out, but then has to go back to jail for another 2 weeks because of a clerical error.
