One would need to define what is meant by "significantly different" as well as the exact purpose of the hash functions. i.e. I suggest not to start with the implementation but with what is trying to be achieved. Putting the cart before the horse, so to speak, is a recipe for creating bad crypto.
This is pretty fun in an F500 org where email retention is 2 months or less.

Many of you have the luxury of several years of searchable email. Not all of us do. And MS exchange search functionality isn't anywhere near what Gmail's is.
Fair.

My point is that I think these people are leaving money on the table, because weak humans will wind up pirating rather than wait weeks for a DVD to arrive.
How to use the link tag in HTML
Java and C# have gone native since ever.

Most people just don't pay attention to the tools available to them.

.NET never used an interpreter. Code is either JITed on load, or compiled to dynamically linked binaries at installation time via NGEN.

Mono always offered the option to AOT compile and its their default deployment mode in iOS.

Then there is IL2CPP, CoreRT, Bartok MDIL and .NET Native.

The only exception, regarding Microsoft implementations was the .NET Micro Framework, used for example on NETduino.

On Java side, AOT was always available on commercial JDKs, specially the ones targeted to embedded deployment.

Now it is finally becoming available on the free JDK (alternatives like gcj never mattered).

Personally I am happy to see the mix JIT/AOT coming back.

It was the way with Oberon, Lisp, Eiffel, Sather, and we just got distracted because Sun was religiously against providing AOT support themselves.

EDIT: added reference to .NET MF.
at this point in time, admirers of 'art' generated by 'AI' are like parents proud of their child's inspired scribbles posted on the refrigerator... a notable accomplishment for the progeny but an unremarkable contribution to society
A Caravaggio has inherent value because it's a cultural artifact. But today's "art" has little (if nothing) to do with Renaissance art. Modern art is such a subjective field it's meaningless to discuss what is and what is not.

If you asked a wealthy man living in 1500 whether he would mind his portrait being painted by a machine, most likely he wouldn't mind that because art was then a trade and "art for art's sake" wasn't really a thing at the time.

Humans like to put things into neat categories, so, for example, painting and music are often categorized as art, although they are inherently different things. It's a lot easier to answer the question "is music created by AI really music" than "is (modern) art created...".
Isn't most fare collection automated nowadays? There's still likely to be an "info" booth at big stations for out of towners.

It's only in above ground systems where you have to have people watch against fare-beaters. But even then the tickets are mostly electronic and self-serve.
Art is only ever in the mind, so anything can be art if that is how you experience it.

Better question: can an AI experience art?

You didn’t read the article, did you?

The landlord destroyed the artwork before the courts resolved the case. This has nothing to do with artists; these power plays happen periodically and they’re subsequently beaten like a dog by the courts.
The best decision I made in 2018 was to start a new year without Facebook. I deleted my account permanently.
Proper brooms, as opposed to push brooms. You might occasionally see a skip using one just to call shots these days. It took a lot of effort to sweep effectively with a corn broom.

They're not mining Bitcoin, they're mining Monero, and a key property of Monero that makes it a currency is that you can't tell how much someone has.
It makes me nervous when cloud companies release new features to select pilot groups.

The Aurora Serverless signup form asks no questions related to DB scale or capacity, so we're left to assume they're accepting pilot customers based on region or company size?
IR markers would seem to hint at reliability issues of tracking. Presumably one could reply "algorithms are still being developed and fine tuned".

But if it's not reliable, then I can't see how it would be usable by the mass market.

People don't generally respond well to half of their visual world desyncing from their physical body, even if it's 1:1000 seconds.
I don't think so. Decoration is something else entirely, something that evokes a sense of beauty, perhaps. A nice fractal is a "decoration". But a Picasso painting is not, because it's not "pretty".

What if computer produces a Picasso painting? Or impressionist one? And it does, look up "neural network dreams". These things are not pretty. But they are satisfying, because we can look at them as puzzles and fill in the details.
It doesn't stop being art; it never was art. It was a picture that fooled the observing into thinking it wss art.

Take a chat bot that can pass the Turing Test. It seems human to the observer, but that doesn't mean it is. And when the observer learns of their mistaken belief, the chat bot doesnt just then become a bot.
> For example, the Emmy’s (and the Hollywood Reporter, for example) consider NBC, ABC, HBO, Netflix, and Amazon to all be networks on equal footing.

The trade papers may use ‘network’ interchangeably in Ye Grand Tradition of old school Deadline slang for TV, but nobody in the industry would ever confuse networks (read: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) with cable/premium/streaming channels.
If this is your perspective, maybe it would be better if everyone bought phones from Finland.
Very cool site. Just one nitpick: "Frequency" denotes the technical speed of vibration, as said in the article.

"Pitch" is the human perception of how high or low a tone is. Pitch is a "quale", it is purely perceptual, and not measured in Hz. We perceive one pitch for a guitar tone, even though it is made up of many frequencies (like the sawtooth example).

A related technical term is "Fundamental Frequency" or "Base Frequency", which is the lowest frequency in a harmonic tone complex.

In most cases, pitch correlates with the fundamental frequency. But not always. For example, pianos are not strictly harmonic, their higher harmonics are slightly higher than integer multiples of the fundamental. Yet we perceive a single pitch. Another example: If we cut off the lowest harmonics and fundamental using a filter (like in some telephones or cheap loudspeakers), we still perceive the pitch as that missing harmonic. Another example: If you play different harmonics on different ears, we still perceive it as one homogenous tone. Another one: You can play two tones with offset fundamental frequencies such that we should hear a common fundamental below either tone. But we don't, because our brain somehow separates co-modulated tones into distinct auditory objects.

It is endlessly fascinating how human perception works, and "pitch" is surprisingly nuanced and complex if you look into it deeply.

If you are into foreign and criterion collection movies, I recommend FilmStruck.

Netflix is popular and needs to cater to the popular tastes, in an environment of content owning launching their own streaming services.
Very good points, AnthonyMouse.
When Netflix used a star rating system, the star rating it showed you was Netflix's guesstimate of your expected rating. It's guessing how it thinks you'll rate the movie, based on what you've watched and rated, and what other similar people have done. It's not always going to be right.

In 2017 they switched to a thumbs-up / thumbs-down system, and now they show a percentage which I believe is their estimate of the chance you'll give it a thumbs-up.
There would have to be an element of originality to it.

I could write a winforms program to generate Mondrian paintings, but that wouldn’t make my program Mondrian.
DDoS the whole infrastructure. They have done that to GitHub before by hijacking traffic to Baidu. With millions of phones in the US under their control it’s fairly easy to overwhelm any website (Mercedes comes to mind in recent news) they don’t like or even cripple the whole national wireless network.

Also even if you are not of direct interest to China, what about your friends and colleagues? They can use you as a tool to get to those that you have direct communication with.
Unfortunately, this concept is antithetical to most startups. They usually don't have the capital required to cater towards long term goals like "happy families make happy employees". Instead, they try to convince their employees to work 12 hour days and nights and weekends on call, in exchange for a chance at making millions of dollars when the startup sells out.

Let's face it. Most startups are straight up toxic. Been there, done that. Never again.

On the flip side, though, if I saw a startup that enforced a proper work/life balance for their employees, while fairly compensating them with pay, healthcare, and clearly defined Vacation/PTO policies (none of that "unlimited vacation" bullshit trap that startups like to pull), and perks like 7 weeks of PTO for new fathers/mothers, then I would actually consider working for a startup like that.

My girlfriend buys generic pantyhose that's $1 (we're in Central Europe). It looks good, and lasts 1-2 wears before something pulls the fabric. In her case, SheerlyGenius would cost 3-6x as much.

Another advantage of the $1 pairs is they always look like new, since she wears a new pair almost every time. How does a SheerlyGenius pair look after 30 wears?

I imagine there's a use case here because people are funding the Kickstarter, but I feel like $150 pantyhose is a small market.

Look, I'm for plaintext emails as much as the next guy but there is a value in something that provides formatting. Users, very reasonably, would like to use bold, underline, strike-though, highlighting, section headers, lists, tables, inline images, etc.. HTML was a convenient choice of format at the time and it worked well enough with budding webmail clients.

In a forum of tech enthusiasts we might be able to get away with emails exported from groff but we can't throw out all the useful features users like along with it.

The rationalizations to artificially make content unavailable, difficult to consume, or only available at extremely high prices is a part of the equation.
Take a look at my previous comment about pro wrestling; I think it has some merit. The idea that we like to have some human connection and see growth in someone's work gets tainted when you say it was built by a bot
Can't you use infrared cameras like the FlirOne and just search for things that are weirdly hot? Most cameras should generate a lot more heat than its surroundings.
I remember being a junior. I'd either go looking for more to do, or take a bit of extra time to experiment with different ways to do whatever I was given.

Maybe this is more a personality thing, and it's just that people who don't think a certain way don't really make it to senior?
I can't fault them for taking pride in their work, even if I vehemently disagree with the result of it.

Then yes, you can. Your argument, applied broadly, has you applauding the pride of IBM engineers who developed systems to assist the Nazis in identifying people to slaughter. The idea that engineering exists apart from moral principle is absurd.
All you have to do is create a social/chat app and get most teens and young adults to start using it. Piece of cake. Profit train here we come!

The Chinese government is not monolithic. There are individual people in their government, any of which who have access can do nefarious things.
We can deduce from the math that drug companies would not spend nearly as much money on R&D without being able to earn it back. Without patents, they would need a new business model that involved much less cost upfront. We could choose to live with more risk as far as new drugs are concerned, less testing, etc. That might not be a net negative.

No one would make big expensive movies and GoT type shows without copyright. Copyright has the strongest defense, since the creative work is so obvious, concrete, and unique.

I for one wouldn't give away my work in a society without copyright – I'd likely try to found a society with IP protection and then release my work on my terms, which others would hopefully find agreeable.
If you are paying Google, you are definitely a customer.

In the exact same way that someone who pays Comcast for internet & television service is a customer, and continues to receive commercials, to have their behavior tracked and sold, and to have their privacy rights lobbied against.
The invocation of “primarily” here suggests that your mind is refusing to address reality because it conflicts with your ideals.

The Beatles are on Spotify. Taylor Swift has even rejoined Spotify, obviously it was worth it for her in the end.

There are only a few artists who are Apple Music or Tidal exclusive, in an attempt drive users to those platforms.
I love Benjamin's writing, but looking back after the better part of a century, I don't think that his theses hold up well; he would reject as Not Art much of the latter 20th century's output, which is an appealing position for a curmudgeon, but not a very practical one.

I've come to believe that the only useful notions of Art are either the Supreme Court definition ("I know it when I see it") or the wildly all-encompassing ones; "anything arranged or interpreted according to aesthetic principle," is more or less my working definition. Any other definition either ends up rejecting vast swathes of things that clearly are art or setting you up for reductio ad absurdum.

So yeah, I think it's art. Now we can move onto more interesting questions, like "who is the artist?"

Note: anyone interested in this stuff should absolutely read Benjamin!
What a brilliant dark pattern! Make people's assumed private snotty replies to them public and visible to their peers.

This would carry more weight if someone funded serious reverse engineering efforts against some of these phones.
It would be nice if they just went back to before the whole "sell people a fantasy of what their life would be like with the product" but don't focus on the product at all.

I don't need an ad to know if my life will improve after buying something. Just tell me what the thing is and if its a good price and I want it I'll buy it. Leave the subliminal stuff out.
Sure - when you run ads on your own website with Google, you get 68% of the revenue share. (https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/180195?hl=en)

It's harder to say with forms of advertising like referral links, since many of those are negotiated directly between the website and someone like Amazon, but others go through middlemen that probably take 20-30%, as Google does for AdSense.

(source: I run ads, and have referral links, on the Pi Searcher for fun, and to pay the hosting bills. And some coffee money. I get paid by Google part-time, but this is based upon my experience as an ad hoster, nothing else.)

But remember that a lot of advertising out there is search advertising (google, bing, baidu, etc.). In which case, Google/Bing/etc. are the content creators -- their content is a search engine -- and they monetize it by advertising.

Precisely. There's no such thing as art, except in the minds of people looking at it.
I really want to like CLion (it's pretty good, honestly) except I cannot stand CMake as a build system. Being able to use Kotlin Native with it sounds quite nice, because then I don't have to deal with CMake. It's a pretty solid IDE.
Many of the easements for above ground utilities also contain provisions for underground utilities, so getting easements may be easier than you would think. However, having the easement, and having it be feasible to use are two different things. In my neighborhood, some sections have the utilities in line with the sidewalks and there is easy access; others have the utilities behind the homes, over many years many buildings have been built encroaching the easement. The encroaching buildings aren't legally there, but it would be messy to remove them to underground the utilities.
I appreciate the work you did to run those rough calculations.

Unfortunately, it completely ignores the most salient point. Empirically, most people seem to vastly prefer seeing the occasional (ideally targeted) advertisement, versus paying $20-40 a month of their own hard cash.

Hence, you cannot take total number of users, and divide by expenses. You can take maybe 1-2% (maybe less), and divide by expenses.

The actual conversion of these currently free users to paid users is what matters - and I doubt most people on Facebook would pony up.

For example, see the sibling post from Guest9812398 about his experiences running a popular community site - only 100 of the 100,000 users opted in to this, which doesn't even cover his hosting bills. The only way he can survive is through advertising.

The no ads model has been tried on the internet before, many a time - and the majority of people simply will not pay.
I feel like any time technology has advanced, we've had discussions like this. Back when Tron was originally released, it was excluded from an academy award nomination for visual effects because they felt that using computers was cheating.

While every iteration of tech makes it easier to accomplish an end result, that doesn't necessarily mean the end result will be better. What defines an artist is what they're able to create with the tools they have. Art created by an AI is really just art created by someone who wrote that AI. Who tuned it, taught it, and fed it information that steered the end result into something amazing. It doesn't make it any less of a work of art in my eyes.
So what's the "aura" in this case, how do we measure it? Is it something that some humans ("artists") can produce but other humans ("non-artists") can't? Is it something that can only be created by something with mitochondria or which processes information using serotonin?

I prefer making the template myself, but coding from scratch is not for everyone. Bootstrap is useful then depending on project, and what you can tolerate in terms of code bloat and bag of tricks bloat.

I pass the template I make along to the next project, and improve the template as I go. By using frameworks you're hand-balling the task of "making it better" to someone else. As for css grid, not using it yet due to my wanting to support older browsers, but I am now enjoying flexbox for page structure after ignoring it for a long time. Flexbox is a great set of tricks.
What do you dislike about CLion? I don't really use C so I thought the minor issues I had with my toy projects wouldn't really translate over to people who professionally use the tools and know the ins and out of the language.

True, but then again the hallmark of NYTimes aspirational twee writing is to harp on some wannabe hipster psuedo-retro twee bs - "Cafes are too silent!! People aren't interacting in social old fashioned ways! Nobody makes 3-week brine horseradish pickles anymore except for this one Fort Point Hassid who only works on the 8th Tuesday of the Month!!!" while simultaneously ignoring the common sense factors (Cafe owners are losing $$ because people use their cafes as free office space, and horseradish pickles be gross).
I doubt he got them mixed up; myki is a pre-loaded NFC smart card payment system for public transport in Victoria, Australia. go cards are another similar system.

NBN is a completely different beast, being an internet carrier and service wholesaler with ambitious and expensive last-mile infrastructure concerns, for one thing.
