There are really two kinds of attacks: ones that involve subverting existing networked devices to perform malicious acts (hacking), and making one's own malicious devices (building).

Of the two, attacking existing devices sounds scarier because there is a large fleet of vulnerable existing devices that can potentially be exploited. However, of the two problems, it's also the one we know more about: it's basically straight up cyber security. The AI aspect is mostly a tangent, a way to control the system once you have access.

It seems the most straightforward way to defeat these attacks is to increase their cost by promoting better cyber security (sandboxing, use of safer languages, cryptography as appropriate, etc.). That's not to say it'll be easy, but the problems are largely known problems.

On the other hand, anything that involves the attacker actually building something themselves is either going to be much smaller scale, or is going to leave a physical trail that can be traced like we do for any other sort of weapons mitigation.

I changed the subject from use of IV for hospital rehydration treatment to possible performance enhancing uses in my original post and thank you for calling me out at incorrectly interpreting the original article.

Now, however, I think you might be guilty of extending the argument beyond its original domain in pursuit of snarkiness. Is it
your claim that an IV is useful for no purposes beyond rehydration? It’s certainly possible to include other substances in the iv which are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream.

It seems to me like studies showing suitability of ORT to rehydration wouldn’t necessarily offer insight into these other uses ...?

Also regarding complication likelihood — I think your argument glosses over the fact that the sheer complexity of the hospital environment introduces all sorts of incidental complexity not present in a simpler context. A “factory” that does one thing is much easier to optimize (including to optimize for safety) than a place like a hospital which has to house the entire complexity of the full medical process.
A safepoint in x86 is nothing more than the instruction mov [rip+0x1234], eax. That shouldn't cause a major slowdown? Also, safepoints are useful for features other than gc. For example, you can inspect a running thread's callstack. That is useful when debugging and when objectifying a thread's state.

Stack maps can be made a bit smaller by pushing and popping all registers from the stack during gc. That way, you only need to store the values of stack locations in them and not of individual registers.

Btw, the article is really good. This is the kind of stuff I keep coming back to HN for!

This reminds me of the "Supergun" that Gerald Bull [2] was trying to build with Saddam Hussein [1].

One of my professors, that worked with Bull at the University of Toronto, told me all about his arms dealing/designing escapades. Bull was ultimately assassinated outside his home in Brussels.

I am way out of my depth here but I've read a couple of articles recently talking about the migration of homo sapiens out of Africa possibly occurring far sooner than was previously thought [1]. That was the first one I could remember. After a quick read of this it seems that their reason for attributing this to Neandertals is only the dating. I maybe way off here but it seems premature to draw too many conclusions about the creators of this art without some sort of additional evidence.

I don't think people tend to use plastic bags twice. Instead they double bag.

And as I alluded to above, not all bags of the same material are made equal. The original British source has a range of 80-250g for cotton bags. The ones I use weigh in at less than 50g.

Chimborazo is >6000m above sea level tbf and not 6000ft as the OP suggested. It's actually the furthest point from the Earth's centre (the earth's shape gives it a boost over mountains which are higher above sea level but further from the equator)

For related reasons, its difficult-to-reach, low oxygen, snow-covered summit is not ideally suited for building and maintaining a space launch site.

Ramjet would still require atmosphere. If you look at the Japanese SS-520 or the RocketLab's Electron, you don't need a giant rocket to get a small payload to orbit from a standing start. If you give your payload a Mach 5 kick you can eliminate a lot of the propellant mass and get by with smaller rocket motors optimized for high altitude operation.

Elon Musk wants to put 12,000 satellites into orbit. It would be very strange to me if he doesn't have someone looking into the feasibility of a giant subterranean launch tube to do something similar. Get the payload up to Mach 10 on terrestrial power and complete the orbit with a small single stage.

An AI system that can do all that could clone itself, and so no need to worry about "who to employ". Infact humans and humans need would be an unnecessary burden other than to be the 'market' that the machine wants to make money from. However those humans won't have jobs, because the AI clones will be able to do their jobs. So they won't have money and there is no use pandering to them. So the machine will worry about what other AI bots want. Well they don't want champagne or ferraris. They want electricity. So expect power / manufacturing companies to do well and everything else to go to the shit.

The world continues to focus on cities, while the rest of the people are left behind. I notice a clear metropolitan bias on HN, often incredulous that 1st world citizens are still living in a unimproved state. Even an 30min from one of the 10 biggest cities on the USA, broadband is still unavailable to a majority, ambulance times are in hours, and school funding is increasingly disappearing. Please keep in your minds and hearts that there are millions people outside the expected social systems generally assumed available to city and suburb dwellers.

So let's be fair.

GM has a Level 2, maybe Level 3, self-driving platform in its current generation of self-driving cars. It's not claiming that current cards will be able to achieve Level 4 or 5 self-driving functionality. But it is expecting that future generations of their cars will, especially once low-cost LIDARs are incorporated into their platform.

Tesla has, being charitable, a Level 1 self-driving platform. Current Tesla cars don't have the sensors or processing power to handle the demands necessary for Level 3 self-driving, let alone Level 5 (i.e., truly autonomous functionality). Hell, Tesla's current hardware platform does't even have the same level of functionality as their original self-driving hardware (using MobiEye), which was just glorified lane-keeping and self-parking, i.e., Level 1 self-driving.

Tesla is playing a dangerous marketing game and deserves to be called on their bullshit.
The comment you're responding to is referring to Larry and Sergey's motivations, while you're referring to Google (as a company)'s motivations.

You both could very well be right. It's (almost always) in a company's best interest to focus on profit. That profit, however, is very often used as a means for the people in charge of that company to march towards their personal motivations, which may not always align 100% with the company (but often overlap enough for a mutual benefit).

Asking the federal government not to tax people on income they never see (because of SALT) is not the same as asking for a bailout.

In fact, it's the other way around: high SALT states tend to rely less on federal aid and so are actually subsidizing the other states.
Years ago I worked on a project where a lot of the code was done in Tcl (pronounced "tickle"). Management would not say "tickle", instead they insisted on saying T-C-L. Tcl is a pretty neat language, and while I was on the project, I couldn't help but wonder how much it's name had held it back.

> A third of rural whites, and 40 percent of rural white men, are resigned to believing that their children will grow up with a lower standard of living than they did

I always thought this was a given, and am surprised a significant number of people believe otherwise. Aren’t the Baby Boomers the last generation alive today that will on average have a better standard of living than their parents? Starting with Gen X, I’ve always believed that we have higher overall levels of debt, including student debt, less saved for retirement, less job security, less home ownership opportunity, lower expected lifetime earnings adjusted for inflation...
"Overall, 59 percent of rural high school grads — white and nonwhite, at every income level — go to college the subsequent fall. That's a lower proportion than the 62 percent of urban and 67 percent of suburban graduates, according to the National Student Clearinghouse, which tracks this."

That's not actually all that large of a difference. Its certainly not enough to justify the strong wording in the headline.
Even the super strong HDPE bags at "luxury" grocery stores like Citarella, Grace's Market, Agata and Valentina, etc., get double bagged for absolutely no reason other than this is what the people who shop at these places have come to expect.

Currently our main focus is on Yocto, since this is what most people would use in production. Right now BSP runs on 4.15 and the processor is well supported in mainline. Since our own product is based on Neutis we put a lot of effort in testing of stability of the system and peripherals.

> So when the media that hated Trump (a position I am not criticizing) started talking about allegations of Russian interference with the elections, I waited for the evidence. But after a couple of months of anonymous officials making this claim and that claim but no hard evidence in the matter, I tuned it out.

> I’ve since stopped following mainstream news, so if they’ve come up with genuine evidence by now then I’m just out of the loop. It’s fair to say I’m uninformed here but I do recall that for some time at the beginning, no evidence was presented.

National security officials don't generally present the support behind their conclusions to the public, and even when it became a law enforcement case, the evidence is only sparingly provided before a trial. There are pretty good reasons news media does report on announced intelligence and law enforcement positions before those agencies provide detailed support; blaming the media for the underlying evidence not being immediately presented is, well, somewhat naive.

OTOH, since then, while still little evidence has been directly provided to the public (because criminal investigations are ongoing and investigators are reluctant to tip their hand), we do actually have both the confession of an attempted colluder and a pile of indictments (which are grand jury findings of evidence providing probable cause to believe particular persons committed particular crimes.)

I'll try to round up some comments later tonight.

I have visual-motion sensitivity, and plan to write some articles on some of the problems with recent animation trends. I'm also planning on creating browser extensions that disable CSS animations and other spammy problems with UI design.

It's really difficult for me to use Google's new designs. I switched to Thunderbird/Lightning until I can find a Google Calendar replacement. I removed most apps from my phone and turned off most notifications, because it's too stressful to use it. There needs to be a low-animation setting.

Designers should be asking themselves, "how do I make this UI functionality clear with the absolute minimum of animation?"
Here's the thing: if upgrading the hardware is as straightforward as you say it is, than GM is in a far better position to provide true self-driving in its cars.

After all, it's already got the hardware and hardpoints for installing hardware. Swapping out existing LIDAR arrays for newer arrays, or current processors for optimized self-driving processors, would be a piece of cake. Especially with GM's extremely large supply chain, capable of producing more cars in an hour than Tesla can produce in a year, and the corresponding parts for all of those cars.
College grads do better then those who did not went to college - in terms of earnings, home ownership and just about any other stat I have seen.

They do worst then grads of previous generation through. The worst off are those who took debt and then dropped out.

Picking up grads as argument against college is odd, given that their results are not as bad as results of other demographic groups.
if we assume our desired orbit to be at an altitude of 320 kilometers and our orbital velocity to be 7 kilometers per second; and we assume that air resistance decreases as a proportion of the cube of velocity inside the troposphere, proportional to the square of velocity inside the stratosphere, proportional to velocity inside the mesosphere, and discount air resistance above the mesosphere, we can begin to set up a differential equation to solve the problem.

I'll be back, if anyone wants to follow along at home, post your answers when you are ready.
Tesla doesn't use cameras only. They use cameras, radar, and ultrasound.
> Two sources say physicists who’ve looked into the company said a potential challenge could be air resistance on the cargo when the catapult fires. Earth’s atmosphere is so dense that it could be like the cargo was hitting a brick wall upon ejection.

Reminds me of the calculation that shows Santa Claus and his reindeer, if they ever existed would have vaporized instantly at the beginning of first Christmas delivery:

...353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance — this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecraft reentering Earth’s atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force. In conclusion — If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he’s dead now.

Then, by the parent comment's compelling logic, the profit along with the LLC would become abandoned property:

>>>> and an LLC without any legitimate ownership interest is an abandoned entity (making all its assets abandoned property).

The bit you quoted was in the context of assigning criminal liability, if the need arose. However, I don't think that "profit" would be the most important part of the analysis, but rather who was responsible for designing and setting up the corporate entity.

That is, of course, provided that the judge will find out that the company is being autonomous entity.

I envision that some crazy billionaire will create an autonomous hedge fund, which will automatically off-hand manage a group of ordinary looking funds. People managing the children funds will not know that the parent fund is an AI entity and will not know about the existence of other funds. The AI entity overseeing the main fund will compare profits and other behavior of each children fund and any significant deviation will be automatically killed off and replaced.
A few things:

1. I never claimed the MVP was just whipped together. I claimed it was an MVP. I'm aware that this has been worked on for months - I joined the Slack channel and tried to participate. You made a straw-man argument.

2. The piece of my mine you linked to was never posted in the D4D slack. Or in any other community discussion. At least not by me. You resorted to an ad hominem attack on me personally instead of a principled attack on my position.

3. You stress the fact of this being a living document as if that had something to do with my concerns. Living or not, it went into production without fully considering the downstream harm the product could cause. You avoided my actual argument with a red herring instead of engaging it.

Given all of the above, why should I accept that your invitation to participate in the data.world slack was extended in good faith?

If anything in my original post seemed to warrant the hostility of your response, then I beg your pardon for poor wording. But my argument still stands.

Yes, the centripetal acceleration only starts to get reasonable (ie less than 10g) with a 20km radius centrifuge. The only practical way to do that would be an evacuated circular tunnel equipped with a maglev. Maybe that's their solution?
Unless I'm mistaken, I really don't believe it's an issue with the spec. There's nothing in iCal (RFC 5545) that says you have to take iCal objects attached to emails and automatically include them in the calendar. In fact, iCal servers are simply configured to accept the xml requests and distribute a list of VEVENT objects (among others) for display. They aren't inherently connected to a working inbox.

My guess is they have loose rules around auto-adding iCal attachments detected in IMAP/Mime messages. It's notoriously difficult to get email and calendars working. There's a reason ActiveSync is so damn expensive.
