Is this even possible?

Its just read-only machine code, theres no stack data for instance from the last executions that you can watch for.

Maybe only if you know when the code is being executed, in which register that particular builtin write the memory address of the payload, and then go for the payload on the heap to see what's there.

To know when the code will be executed you would need to watch for the VM loop and to when that particular builtin you are interested in its on the 'execution needle'.. But to get there you would first need to find a exploit, with arbitrary code execution, where you can upload your exploit payload to hook on the VM loop (and this sounds a lot of work to me).

(Not a Sec. guy myself, so genuinely curious how this could be done, but trying to figure out a way to exploit this, i kind of begin to see how it could be done)

Deconstructing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Arguments Against Republicans
Yes, this is what I mean. I recognize that one major argument against hackintosh is that some view it as stealing.

I don’t really care one way or the other about the stealing question, because this other argument against hackintoshes is more compelling to me.
I don't get the obsession with going public. It has killed or derailed many a great company. It's not exactly a good thing to constantly be chasing short term profits and quarterly results over long term health.

The idea that companies should have the goal of going public is deeply flawed/unhealthy, I think. Though it makes sense for some.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/ and https://www.insanelymac.com

tonymacx86 is the go to place for checking on hardware compatibility for the most part. insanelymac tends to be more technical, it's where a lot of devs that make it all work hang out. You likely won't need insanelymac unless you are trying to get some poorly supported hardware working.

I should have noted in my previous comment but I purposely chose hardware for my build that I knew worked well. Things can get complicated if you are trying to make any random hardware work, although even that is much better than it used to be.

No.

If it did, then it wouldn't be a theory, it would just be a religious belief.

Although, I would agree that many of the people working on the theory, would privately believe something like that.
Good, good. We need more stories like these, the general public needs to start realizing a couple of things.
>But if strong AI is possible[...]but why haven't their robotic spawn already shown up and disassembled a few moons into robot factories?

But what for? Per article assumptions lets start by assuming an STL regime. It's not unreasonable to guess that strong AI would, even if it was entirely benevolent and decided to maintain an eternal space for its originators (in fact perhaps particularly in that case), wish to have more computation and storage power. It has plenty of time. So it constructs huge computational systems, with the thermodynamic end goal being some sort of stellar engine like a matrioshka brain. Even long before that though just with near-future tech it'd be likely to move into a rather huge computer system, probably planetary scale.

However doesn't that immediately back it into a bit of a corner at least near term? In an STL regime there is no way to send huge amounts of mass interstellar nor information over anything but an extreme time scale and a lot of energy consumed. A "big intelligence" without miracle tech would in fact be physically big too, it'll consume a lot of mass and energy running itself. The only way to leave its solar system would be to either lobotomize itself to the point of effective suicide or to construct a fully equivalent remote location and then either clone itself or transfer (the difference being whether it deleted the original location after a successful copy), which would still be an incredibly difficult and energy intensive and time costly affair. It might be justified in the case where a being wanted to continue to exist after its star left main sequence maybe but it wouldn't be trivial. The very fact of its strong AI existence could easily make it hard to travel.

So what are the von Neumann probes for? Like, picking a couple young promising systems as backups makes sense but why the whole galaxy? At some point extra backups with 100k year deltas or worse wouldn't actually add any significant redundancy, the lifespan of the galaxy itself would become limiting. Long before that having another strong AI develop might even be seen as attractive, assuming it wasn't insane. A well entrenched and developed AI or AI civ could conceivably feel secure enough that it/they could survive and snuff out trouble from anything new before it was an existential threat, and in turn decide the risk vs the reward of something new and interesting would be worth it. And the more in a agreement like that the more secure it can be.
I have been tied up myself and am only now able to respond.

> From the physicists themselves. Public discussions on their respective blogs.

Physicists will say all kinds of things in a popular forum. Do you have any references to textbooks or peer-reviewed paper?

Even on physicists' blogs, I have never seen any reference to three different event horizons, so if you have any specific ones you can point to, it would really help me to understand what you are talking about.

> Are you then saying that all the physicists who say time stops here as viewed from outside are wrong?

If any of them actually are saying that, yes, they're wrong. But I doubt you'll be able to find any textbooks or peer-reviewed papers that say that. I don't care what pop science sources say; they're not valid sources for learning the actual science.

> The theoretical basis for "black holes" is an eternal universe with a single mass in it.

No, it isn't. You are confusing an idealized model used for pedagogy with actual models used to make predictions about actual objects observed by astronomers.

> I have no issue with there being large gravitational entities. i do however have an issue with the declarations that said entities are "black holes".

If you want to be very careful, you could say that black holes are the only entities consistent with our current theories that these "large gravitational entities" could be. It is true that our current theories are incomplete, and it could be true that a more complete theory would tell us that these entities are not anything like our current model of black holes. But even if that happens, it won't be for any of the reasons you are giving.

> Single mass existing only, asymptotically flat universe are just two of the fundamental assuptions required.

Again, you are mistaking an idealized model used for pedagogy with the real models used to make predictions about real observations. The latter do not depend on any such assumptions for the universe as a whole. They only require that a suitable region of spacetime around the object being studied contains only that object (or objects--models of this sort are used to make predictions about multi-object systems such as binary pulsars, for example, as well as black holes) and becomes flat enough at its boundary for asymptotic flatness in the model to be a reasonable approximation. These conditions are certainly met by the objects and systems to which the real models in question are applied.

I really hope you're not right about this, but unfortunately it seems all too likely. Linux will finally win on the desktop not because it finally starts listening to potential users and making things better, but because everyone else just stops making desktops.
Okay I guess then we should do something about all them guns. Point there being that guns are readily available and this seems to be maybe slightly more dangerous in certain cases.
But CA still has to have a 1.8 GPM shower head?!

Yeah, makes sense. =P

Pre-1994 all shower heads were like 6 GPM -- those were nice showers. Not sure we've really saved any water by making people take longer, crappier showers.

Sydney is still 25 LPM... roughly 6 GPM. It's bliss.

I'm sure the EPA does some wonderful things, but they've totally ruined showers over the last 30 years.

Good question.

Whenever the program goes to place a room or corridor, it firstly checks whether those squares are unoccupied. If not, the room/corridor isn't placed.

I originally made it place the room anyway, since it might result in some interesting structures. But in practice, it just made a complete mess and there was no easy way to decide when to make the algorithm stop.

This is argument based on a counter-factual though. Chlorine as used for keeping our water supply safe does appear to be warranted (i.e. the benefits outweigh the costs), whereas the use of asbestos is the other way around; the health effects clearly outweigh the benefits. Public policy should be based around what we know, not what you wish to be true but isn't.

Honestly, I think underground, subterrainian cities are quite possibly the only silver bullet answer, as a correction for some of the emerging technology we'll be forced to confront, if things get out of control with everything laid out in the open.

There's this view, held by some, that with the atomic bomb, the cat's out of the bag, and the escalation of weaponry hit the ceiling in terms of organized conflict. But that there's also a non-linear side effect.

The outlook of this view holds that, if we indeed smacked into the ceiling, harnessing the same natural power that fuels the sun's daily dose of daylight, well, there's a whole vacuum of optional behavior between a floor of sharpened wooden sticks or hurled rocks, and a maliciously used hydrogen bomb, and all of human creativity to imagine interesting ways to negotiate that gradient between a single hostile neolithic ape, and nuclear age, mutually assured ICBM psychosis.

So maybe we got only a foot off the ground with primitive biological sabotage, or fumigated battle trenches dug into former farm fields, before we catapulted into the upper limit with the idea of multiple re-entry vehicles delivered in waves, to target thousands of cities simultaneously.

And what was the idea for how to cope with all your favorite cities being instantaneously incinerated?

That's right. Cave networks underneath mountain ranges. Going full dwarven on the problem.

So, the bonus side effect of going full AD&D dwarf character class, is that it also models well for self contained space stations.

Maybe closing the door to the biosphere, whilst certainly a tragedy of the commons it may be, possibly opens a window to outer space?

This can be summed up as “it sucks to be not-rich.” But that’s always been true. Class mobility has been the exception rather than the rule, and I’m not sure there are ways of changing that other than on an individual basis (i.e. starting a startup and winning).

A grim outlook, to be sure. But look at the flipside: emperors of old could only dream of the luxuries we enjoy on a daily basis. We can eat peaches in winter!
I really enjoy the minimalism.
My understanding, which may be incorrect, is also that they consider all SPLA revenue as cloud revenue as well.

(SPLA is the licensing paid by service providers to lease their customers infrastructure running Microsoft products. So if you pay some VPS or server provider $30/mo or whatever they charge for Server 2012, and they turn around and send $28 of it to MS or whatever, MS reports that $28 as cloud revenue)

If anyone remembers the long discussions at the start of 2000s in relation to music/video pirating, this is not "stealing", it's "intellectual property something something".

The content companies had giant advertising campaigns trying to brand this as "theft" or "stealing". Of course, when they sued someone they used the proper term: "IP violation"

I'm not arguing if it's acceptable or not, but it's not the same as theft which leaves the owner without the item.

The North was maybe a little more than an inch less racist than the South. It's just that the line of slavery being right or wrong went right through that inch. Institutional racism has come from everywhere, in particular by the power of the silent majority.

Did you ever log in to FB with your own account on that machine? If you did, they leave a cookie there; even if no cookie, perhaps they used canvas fingerprinting (It's frightening how many websites do -- there's an about:config setting in Firefox that would let you know and block that).

Did you have your phone with you, with the FB app? If you did, they likely have your exact location, and possibly also the exact location of the browser.

A false positive costs them essentially nothing; So they'll always offer the 50-or so highest scoring matches to you. It's possible that those were matched to you because you had just logged out from the same public IP 5 minutes before (even if it was another machine on the network), and there were no other sources of information about that fake account.

It is creepy. It should be illegal, but unforunately, it's legal -- and the governments are happy about it because it's often illegal for THEM to collect all this data, but it's not illegal to let FB collect it and ask them for a copy.

More than kind of like; you nailed it: exactly like. This has been an infamous issue with machine learning for decades, where unwary researchers/developers can do this quite accidentally if they're not careful.

The thing is that training data is very often hard to come by due to monetary or other cost, so it's extremely tempting to share some data between training and testing -- yet it's a cardinal sin for the reason you said.

Historically there have been a number of cases where the best machine learning packages (OCR, speech recognition, and more) have been best because of the quality of their data (including separating training from test) more than because of the underlying algorithms themselves.

Anyway it's important to note that developers can and do fall into this trap naively, not only when they're trying to cheat -- they can have good intentions and still get it wrong.

Therefore discussions of methodology, as above, are pretty much always in order, and not inherently some kind of challenge to the honesty and honor of the devs.

I don’t see anything in the linked SEC page about needing to halt trading before making the post?

> Regulation FD requires companies to distribute material information in a manner reasonably designed to get that information out to the general public broadly and non-exclusively. It is intended to ensure that all investors have the ability to gain access to material information at the same time.

Sounds like Twitter is the perfect mechanism to achieve this in a fair manner.

> The report of investigation explains that although every case must be evaluated on its own facts, disclosure of material, nonpublic information on the personal social media site of an individual corporate officer — without advance notice to investors that the site may be used for this purpose — is unlikely to qualify as an acceptable method of disclosure under the securities laws

So the question is did Elon/Tesla ever put investors on notice that material statements could be made through his Twitter account?

Since it seems like he’s done this regularly in the past. There was even an institution investor that joked about Elon’s “Return on Tweet” and many articles written about Musk’s Twitter habit. I couldn’t say if a long past history of breaking news on Twitter is enough to have put investors on notice that material statements could come through that channel.
