lol exaggeration much? Psychoanalyzing other people, especially a whole country, without communicating with them is a sign of close-mindedness that I thought rational discourses on HN would preclude.

There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese students in the US whose view on nationalism differs from individual to individual. Not only is the characterization of a purported hidden motif not warranted, it is reminiscent of Yellow Peril.

Nationalism is certainly alive in China. But Chinese foreign policy is only assertive only in its immediate periphery. To think that they are harboring this deep seeded grudge against the West that would threaten our physical safety is ludicrous.
Are they assuming gender in the name of the person?
You can shut up any time; there's no "Oh, you were talking, now you can't stop talking."

Of course you cannot take back what escaped your mouth prior to asserting for right to remain silent.
A western ban makes it easier to apply international pressure. Not saying it's easy by any means, but it's easier.

its worse than that. Its what nobody wants: tied to some parts of the EU, with no say whatso ever. In the case of the finance industry, it'll be 60 days notice to comply or access is withdrawn. Brilliant for the EU as it means that it can start creaming off the finance industry and the vast sums of money it generates in tax.

That's because undocumented workers live in undocumented housing which is to say illegally subdivided dwellings that people who aren't part of that community will not have access to even if they wanted to live in a fire trap.
Yeah, I'm lucky enough to be able to locally use the prebuilt binaries of seabolt for OS X. I wasn't so lucky with my deployment of it, which is on an alpine container. Definitely not a lot of fun installing the C toolchain & compiling from source but it is doable.

Sorry about the title, I should have linked to the primary article instead of the one with the discussion. I submitted again with a direct link this time.

The design detection is essentially a hypothesis test, and doesn't depend on anyone's authority. I'm happy to answer questions on how this works.

The basic idea is Shannon information says all bitstrings of length N are equally likely, but Kolmogorov complexity says the compressible bitstrings are less likely than the incompressible bitstrings. Therefore, when we see a highly compressible bitstring we infer some cause other than chance. E.g. if someone flips 100 heads in a row, you would be justified in thinking the coin is not fair.

I am a current Oracle employee and blame a lot of the mistakes on the overseas development team in india. They are (not all but enough to matter) terrible programmers, but hey when you can throw 10 Indian programmers at a problem for the cost of one American... You can blame your blated mismanaged code base on their management over there. This is likely do to the attrition and generally less talented and less autonomous engineering style.

There is a clear difference between code developed AND maintained in the US vs. code that was developed in India, or code developed in USA and given to Indian developers to manage support. Nothing against Indians, but Ive been around the block and there seems to be a lesser quality of code from that part of the world and companies justifyvit in cost savings.

And you glossed over all of those things to make a politically convenient point. And I was just pointing that out.

If you believe the latter I don't know what to tell you. Move to Detroit? The idea that less tax revenue is somehow good for funding social programs seems insane to me. Not sure how you're going to begin to justify that.
It is an interesting thought.

I feel though that the point of the GDPR was to protect our personal data held by companoes, not to prevent companies using our personal data to make money.

So if a company uses your personal data to train a model (lets assume you willingly gave your informed consent for the time being), and then they delete your data after they have trained their model, does that model contain your personally identifiable inbformation? I'd argue that it does not - the model is just some weights, right? So 0.6 34.291, 0.0016 - is that you, mum?

.... but having just said that, I do wonder what happens if you run the model in reverse, like the deepdream stuff did (1). Could it re-generate PII (or rather generate "nearly-PII") purely from those weights?

Cloud Basics: 5 Essential Resources for IT Pros
The game is terrible though. Has one of the worst user review scores I've ever seen. The lack of content is terrible, everything is boring. Fallout was one of my favorite franchises and once again, a new one has been ruined. Online only games/MMO's almost never recover fully from really bad launches (look at The Old Republic)
ah the bloated fix. As an engine mechanic, it reminds me of the nearly criminal level of disposability in japanese cars.

I once had to service an acura with a recall for failed half shaft seals on the drivetrain. no big deal, about an hour of labor and a trip through the carwash but the computer in the service tech office kept telling me the part was on order 2-3 weeks.

2 weeks go by and there is an enormous fragile package on my workbench. It is an entire carbon fiber driveshaft assembly for the vehicle im working on, with a replacement axle shaft. Both are required to be installed, with old parts sent back to the guys at the factory. now my labor is 4-6 hours with an alignment, balance and a test drive because some factory worker decided picking up a final product was simpler than picking out a part from that assembly.

I bet the Fallout 76 change is the same. Massive CI, its already being tested at the final assembly level, just reinstall everything and dont worry about it.
Yes, it seems that our legislation on wages and housing make it harder for citizens to have a home than it is for undocumented immigrants.
The article would be helped by using a full regex for ipv4 addresses - the one it uses would match invalid numbers (999.999.999.5 for instance), but the proper one is more complex (and would probably make for a better example as a result)

How can you say zero probability? I understand a hyperbole, but let's make a fair estimate.

Assuming hyperbole: why do you believe that, over time, there is a low probability "DeepMind can do its thing without ever touching Google accounts or Google data?" What factors will contribute to that?
That gamespeed issue in Fallout 4 was super annoying on my newer computer. Dialog animations went too fast and made talking quite jarring.
"This initial release is a developer preview release for testing and validation purposes."

Well... that's not really production-ready then, is it? I assume they intend to make it 'production-ready' at some point in the future, but those two statements are directly at odds.
I wish. I think the closest that you can get is to run Logstash locally with the stdout output plugin. You'll have to do some work with the logstash config to set up your grok input filters each time, but it should give you what you want otherwise.
They don't have to fully maintain it on their own. Packaging their own openjdk distribution gives them control over timely targeted bug and security fixes even if they don't have "JVM experts" working on it. I'm not saying they don't have such folks working on it since, well, James Gosling does work there after all along with many other talented folks, but the move makes sense regardless.

At this point it appears to largely be a vote of support for openjdk as the project evolves.

From their announcement:

Amazon has already made several contributions to OpenJDK 8 and we
look forward to working closely with the OpenJDK community on future
enhancements to OpenJDK 8 and 11. We downstream fixes made in OpenJDK, add enhancements based on our own experience and needs, and then produce Corretto builds. In case any upstreaming efforts for such patches is not successful, delayed, or not appropriate for OpenJDK project, we will provide them to our customers for as long as they add value. If an issue is solved a different way in OpenJDK, we will move to that solution as soon as it is safe to do so.
In the OVH case, a modified kernel was being shipped without (apparently) following the guidelines. I've seen an AWS suffix on kernel upgrades and they may or may not have an agreement to pay, but I'm thinking _very definitely_ is stated too strongly.
What is unstable about it? I have used it in 3 fortune 500 companies in production and it was great.
Have you used it? Maybe you'd be less surprised :D

If you want open source contributions, AWS' Code* offerings are a terrible choice. For example, AFAIK you still can't display a build status page that people can view without being logged into the AWS console, like Travis CI or AppVeyor. I honestly don't know who they built those services for, but I'll take Travis CI or Jenkins over those services any day.
https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal/ is great. Needs 2-3GB of RAM and a couple of seconds to start up.
The problem is partly that AWS—sorry, Amazon Web Services—refer to their products like this in all their documentation and marketing. Using acronyms is great for brevity in communicating within closed environments (we use our own acronyms within our own office to refer to many things, including clients), but if you're product names so long-winded in the first place that you're acyronymizing them all publicly in your own materials you have a problem.

Bad news: the physical disc is supposedly just a download code, so you'll be pulling 50+GB regardless.

Day 1 patch or no, I don't like the practice of the physical media just being a Steam/Uplay/Bethesda installer with a download code for the game.
Agreed. I have a bunch of games and utilities I'd love on something fast and portable like this. The fact they will have games available for sale post-launch seems to indicate a walled garden, though, but hopefully that's just a convenience option.

Ask HN: Our Series F Competitor Is Trying to Poach Me from My Series B Startup
I'm not sure what to do about it, or how to proceed. I normally explore any opportunity that comes up, but, this one seems tricky for a number of reasons. Context:

My current role: I'm in charge of a division, think "all of sales/marketing/engineering/customer support/etc" reports to me. I've been there basically since the beginning and think the company could be successful. It is not without its serious frustrations though (mostly around comp, title, executive involvement, and growth opportunities).

Whats happening now: Our competitor reached out to me. I normally am at least open to hearing about opportunities, but, it seems that even talking to this competitor could reveal some secret about what our company does. In the reasonably-likely event I decide against Competitor, then will I have damaged my current company's success? Does talking to them at all put us more on their radar?

I'm at a point where I need to decide between:

1) Don't respond to their emails at all

2) Respond and say I'm not interested

3) Respond and immediately call out anything that would be deal breakers

4) Go whole heartedly into the process

5) Other?

I’d caution against jumping to conclusions. The author did say that he was emotionally shut down and wasn’t intaking any of the coaching sessions.

I think the "Ridiculous" part is the trend of shipping a physical copy of the game with a giant patch of all the stuff that wasn't tested/ready in time for the disc to to go print.

If you're going to just effectively re-release the whole game as a day one patch, why not skip the discs and mail people a nice decorative card with a redemption code for the digital download version?

Not being able to enforce a law is a pretty weak argument. Hunting unicorns isn't the best comparison as that one would be fairly easy to enforce.

If you're more concerned with the unenforceability than the consequences of enforcing a law then something has gone wrong. Going back to your example, a law against hunting sentient creatures would make sense regardless of the fact that establishing sentience is a hard philosophical problem.

I cannot believe they let that man test that hover bike without any safety precautions for his legs. Those blades could easily do destruction on his legs & feet, and there are no guards around the blades at all. Where are the high speed tests? What are the decibels of noise?

I very much understand your hesitation; And I agree that the tech is still unproven - also because there's no single "Tech", but different approaches from different companies with highly varying aims and safety standards.

But the edge-case argument also applies to human drivers. We suck at sudden, unexpected reactions. We panic. We overreact. We die. We kill.

I'm not saying that Self-Driving cars should just go on the road now no matter what - but the point of "edge cases kill people" is a perfectly valid argument against the status quo.

The example they give isn't really convincing, to me. I can see the usecase for this kind of language, but for e.g. searching for a pattern on the shell that isn't just one of a few predefined special cases, it seems like it'd still be a lot easier to compose regexes on the fly.
"several vulnerabilities have already been demonstrated"

Nothing in this paper is new, except a few tweaks here and there.

This is worrisome. More and more academic scientific research is the author taking previous research, adding a spin to it, and claiming it's a new attack.
Almost all of Bethesda's software problems originate from their insistence on sticking with their old creation engine. The engine has been falling to pieces since Skyrim. I gave up trying to get Fallout 4 to run acceptably on high-end modern hardware and refunded it. It looks like Fallout 76 literally just gives you a stretched picture if you try to run it on a 21:9 monitor (which a very substantial proportion of high-end PC gamers have in late 2018).

For me, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and any subsequent Bethesda games based on this engine are automatic no-buys for me at this point. I sincerely hope Fallout 76 sells poorly (relative to other Bethesda titles) so that they can get the message where it hurts.
Hopefully, OpenJDK would be less fractured than Linux. One thing to note, though, is that you can only call your JDK "OpenJDK" if it's a build of the OpenJDK project, with no substantial additions or removal of code[1]. Most free JDKs are, indeed, OpenJDK, with the exception of the JDK based on IBM's OpenJ9 JVM, even though it uses parts of the OpenJDK codebase.
