I’m not sure this is a great analogy. If we didn’t know anything about the locks (target binding sites) I would agree with you, but there is no reason to enforce that restriction. A pipeline that given a target binding could predict a number of potential drug structures with high accuracy would be extremely useful. Going with your analogy, this would be like training a net using a database of lock structures and their corresponding keys, and then having it predict a key for a given lock. That seems fairly doable for current ML techniques.

Obviously actual drug design is more complicated than this, and you have to consider side effects. But I don’t think it’s as hopeless as your analogy.
NN are _just_ transfer functions. Look up tables. Or really dense maps. So f(g(x)) make total sense. But I dont think these are the interesting combinations. I think giving one NN the training experience of another, plus the feedback on "correct inference" will be when on NN trains its replacement.

Host measures should stop the attacks between VMs, but they will not stop attacks within a VM. A busy VM threads may run on their physical cores/threads uninterrupted by the host. Flashing branch prediction by the host on a context switch then does not happen so this variant of Spectre still works.

The host measures will not protect against another variant of Spectre or Meltdown within the VM even if the host performs context switches. The frequency of switches is just too low to disrupt a single cycle of the attack. So the attack will be just slowed down. In addition, as processes within VM have both access to high-resolution timer and CPU performance counters, the attack can detect context switches allowing for simpler recovery from them.

That's awesome.

But it should soon become overwhelming if you have a lot of content coming in. If you want to have a glance at all your saved quotes, let's say, you have to expand into each mail to read them even if they are just 2-3 lines.

I can see how this works nicely for half-baked ideas in mind. You can simple reply to the thread each time you have more points.
Can you expand on this comment, I don't understand.
This only works if it's not observable by other cores/CPUs
(IE you have no shared cache coherency).

Otherwise, they can observe it before you roll it back due to the way the coherency protocols work.

Parrots and Falcons – Long-Lost Cousins (2015)
OP here. I didn’t write the paper, but had goose bumps (in a scared, WTF kinda way) after reading through it. Thanks for the comments so far...

I got the link to this paper from Luke Wagner’s post [1] on Mozilla’s Security blog regarding Spectre, and migrations being implemented in Firefox. I had a strong sense of foreboding after reading both the post and the linked PDF for a few reasons:

1. The overall tone of the post is pretty dour because a veritable Pandora’s box has been opened by these findings.

2. The team doesn’t really know how to fix the issues surfaced without performance penalties.

3. Not every attack vector is known to the research and browser development community!

4. Firefox (and other browser vendors) strongly believes that the web as a platform holds a great deal of promise. For this to become a reality, browsers need to perform close to native speeds. High fidelity timers are deemed pivotal to the performance equation even though they risk the overall security of the system. This is why Luke and team are going to invest heavily in fixing these issues as they are reported.

This last point is key, and it surfaces the inherent Catch-22 faced by browser vendors. They need to balance performance and security considerations for the web platform to succeed. And right now, security is being sacrificed at the altar of performance.

This brings me to the question that I have been noodling over all week long: Is the notion of the “web as a platform” an anachronism? Can we ditch this idea because native apps have won?

More insightful and influential folks in the HN community should chime in here with their perspectives.

They’re really not at all painful on an iPad with a keyboard. I’m going to guess that your experience is based on a much older version of iOS, but it’s been quite nice for the past few years (and it’s evolving still).
Another option: perhaps you’ve only ever learned to do those things with a multi-button mouse? For my experience, I’m extremely comfortable with a variety of keyboard-based systems (especially Emacs), and the iPad interface is totally usable.

Go I have never seen in the industry. Go seems to be enticing idea at some (perhaps backend developers) who want clean architecture and security is one of their top priorities. Not saying it should not be in frontend dev. I would take Javascript as the basic recipe - especially so called vanilla JS, as Javascript is almost always in the core of any frameworks. For absolute beginning, knowing html and css is imperative still - since this is also like the vanilla JS issue: no matter what you put on top of the web, it turns out as html and css (and Javascript :)
I refer to my earlier comment -- two party politics as in use / understood in the US is dissimilar to the political landscape in AU, UK, and elsewhere.

GP was also suggesting there were several factors at play in terms of resolving their health care problem, this being only one of them.

Indeed, the divisiveness that manifests from the US system was the key point there.

I may be naive, but my facts stand - 25% of Australians in the last federal election did not vote for either of the two major parties (or party + coalition if you prefer).[1] This number is trending upwards, and current party politics failing here and abroad are unlikely to turn that around any time soon.

Compare the USA, where 92% of voters were evidently happy to pick from one of two people. [2]

This is the only answer that is possible within the narrow view of capitalism. If you have more time, you should spend more, according to them, otherwise the economy will flounder. It's not a surprise then that capitalism societies strive to have most of their population earning only enough so they don't have the temptation of forgetting to spend all the money they receive.
Leaving htop running (best in background in a screen session on some server) is such a waste of CPU resources. I've already seen that multiple times and always wondered if the people don't recognize by looking at htop's output how much CPU resources it wastes.

The biggest flaw of GDP is that governments around the world try to maximize it. And, as we see in many cases, making it bigger doesn't necessarily make it better. Take education for example: you can have free schools and free universities for everyone, bringing zero additional GDP. Or you can have for profit schools and universities that will be afforded only by a few, but with big GDP impact. Another clear example is given by the USA: nationalizing health care would be great, but it would also reduce the GDP because of destruction of the for-profit industry. In this case, however, lower GDP could bring better health outcomes for most people in the country.
I'm not qualified to discuss drug discovery, but my eye was caught by the authors statement that char-RNN on SMILES strings might outperform the use of a coulomb matrix. IMO this is really misguided as a SMILES string does not contain specific geometrical data (bond angles, dihedrals etc) of a compound...

Mosquito ban sounds like a natural language mistake - only a human would understand the subject he's threatening to kill is the mosquito pictured, and your link confirms Twitter said it was a mistake.

Obviously Twitter should enforce rules for sex and racial discrimination. Joking doesn't make those things OK.

Trump is a military leader - making threats, like any military and police person, is part of their job. Would you support banning Barack Obama for threatening Assad?
You don't need to model the timing though.

What I'm saying with the type system comment is this: the cache side effects of speculation are desirable most of the time but not always. We should find a way to model data sensitivity in the type system so that a compiler can automatically choose to generate a side-effect-free code sequence where the side effects must be avoided (this assumes a future with ISA extensions that allow telling the CPU to prevent such side effects by blocking the speculative execution).
IIRC it can, but whenever you use eggs (chicken libraries) there might be some limitations to whether you can create a fat executable or have to distribute the runtime and the eggs together with your application.

Wow! Did Docker give up swarm? I thought there was a time when Docker didn't like the existence of k8s all that much.

The hedonistic treadmill is someone's hypothesis. I am very skeptical that it is actually correct, as working around it seems fairly simple (certain video games are a good example).

Reading the bug report:

1. Increasing htop's refresh rate (-d 0.1), and having a tight loop that spawns processes quickly, tends to reproduce fairly reliably.
2. Running htop as root seems to work around the problem.

I was able to reproduce the crash with (1), and not able to with (2) after running htop for several minutes. My first thought was that it didn't have to with running htop as root, but rather running htop as a different user as the one spawning processes. So I repeated (1) except that I ran htop as myself, but the spawning loop as nobody, and the crash went away.

I wonder if the bug's in the resource limit checks (RLIMIT_NOFILE, RLIMIT_NPROC), and if increasing the limits would delay / mitigate the crash. But I don't feel like crashing my machine anymore tonight to find out...

There are myriad reasons beyond programmers being "too lazy" to port applications to more than one OS for the web evolving into an application platform. Your rant is on par with suggesting we go back to horses and buggies because high-speed car accidents can be deadly. It vastly overstates the danger posed by JS specifically, completely discounts its superiority in filling the niche that it does compared to the previous status quo, and advocates a non-sequitur, anachronistic resolution.
Huh. I never really thought of that but that's pretty clever.

To run correctly on macOS and display all processes htop needs to be root via sudo/setuid.
I assume exploitability through javascript depends very strongly on how the browser treats it. If it's jit-ed to optimal machine code it should be easy. If it's interpreted it should be harder.

So question is, can the Javascript engine generate suboptimal but safe machine code?

Officially, both Swarm and Kubernetes are valued features of Docker.

It's also popular to say Edison did not invent the light bulb. It is correct that he was not the first to invent a glowing wire. Edison's key innovation was the thin, high resistance filament which used high voltage and low current. That design was said to be impossible by all the experts of the time, but it is what made the light bulb practical and useful.

Edison's light bulb was attacked on all fronts in patent court for years, and he beat them all.

He invented the light bulb.

Ironically for Elon Musk, early electric cars mostly used Edison batteries.
My tinfoil hat tells me that either neither Tesla nor Einstein were humans, OR both were in some sort of communication with aliens.

I know on its face it sounds like horseshit... but with over 100 billion people ever lived on earth... how come we have so few geniuses that truly push the whole human kind forward 10x faster than all people combined thru a previous ten centuries?

Even more - if we assume its just a coincident or that they had such good DNA, or their parents were geniuses before... then how come it doesn't happen again? How come we don't have such huge brains like Tesla or Einstein today? Sure there are many super smart humans among us... but not a single one sticks out like Tesla or Einstein did in their old days.

I might be wrong, but if you keep your coins on an exchange they are in a wallet of the exchange, with a private key of the exchange. They are linked to your account but that information is not stored in the blockchain. It's in the contract between you and the exchange. Very similar to fiat money in a bank computer. To own your bitcoina they must be in your computer. Make backups, trust your hardware. I suggest a pre 2013 Atom :-)
Had he founded it, he would have named it Edison, not Tesla.
Can we please stop thinking of anti-immigration attitudes of just being racist and fear of culture ? Here's the reason why old-style socialists were anti-immigration:

1) labor is the source of income of pretty much everyone. But mostly for the poor.

2) labor is a market. This means that every immigrant that comes and works here lowers the rewards for labor. Since they don't generally come with high training, this cost is pretty much exclusively borne by the poor.

This has gotten much worse over time. Specifically, there is this thing called "secular stagnation" and while there's many ways to describe it, one way is this : total labor demand in society was growing until the early 80s, and since then it's been between constant and slowly dropping, depending on economic conditions. There are actually slightly less jobs today than in 1980, and the population has kept increasing, and exactly what you'd expect to happen has happened : everybody who depends on "generic" labor is now worse off.

Socialists added to this that outlawing immigration in fact puts much more pressure on bad regimes by creating a pool of unhappy people in their countries that of course can destabilize their regimes. So an anti-immigration attitude everywhere would in fact put serious pressure on bad regimes to improve.

So let's please stop putting this culture shock/racism forward as the only reason to be anti-immigration. If I had to quantify, I'd say that this is the main reason for no more than 15% or so of people with anti-immigration attitudes. Most poor are anti-immigration because whilst they cannot articulate the economic consequences of immigration very well, they can directly feel them in their own lives.
