It's all nonsense. The higher frequencies are non-ionizing and in common use today. See all of those microwave antennas on buildings and towers? A lot of them transmit around there.

The reason microwaves (like from a microwave oven) are dangerous are because of their power levels. Like, they'd cook you if they leaked out. Not because of ionizing radiation.

Using an easily crackable password is unwise, yes. And it increases the risk that it may be cracked and misused - and therefore the risk of having to deal with the fallout of a crack. But I would suggest that even so, the only criminal in the picture is the person doing the cracking. The victim may have been foolish to have a weak password, but should that really be a punishable offence?
Yes, that's what I'm saying. Whether it applies to society or not depends on how often you have repeat interactions with the same person. For example, in a big city where you can expect to never run into someone again, I would expect people to favor Betray over Cooperate. Whereas, in a small village where you can't escape the people around you, I would expect people to favor Cooperate.

This is a good idea. I've been trying to build in methods for determining if you'll get along with a person, but the idea that you might be able to filter based on deal breakers is interesting. Or to filter based on what's not needed. I think there's this motivation for companies no a days to aim for their perfect candidates who know 40 languages and I never really know why. Is that really their goal? Do they just want someone to say they know all of those things? Why not just focus on what's needed and what's needed a little down the road. It seems like if a person could help with that, they'd be helpful in the future.
Yep. There are ethical rules for Journalism, which are enshrined in law in many places. One of the rules is that a Journalist may receive stolen information and publish it. But a Journalist may not themselves steal the information, or participate or aid in obtaining private information.

Right now, it looks to me like Assange lied that he was going to help hack anything. I don't see how this is a crime under US law. It's a very weak case, and they cannot lawfully charge him with anything not mentioned in the extradition request. This all changes if they have actual proof he did try to hack a password though.
There was a similar scene in Leather Goddesses of Phobos (think Leisure Suit Larry on an alien planet, in text form):

You're on a barge in a river, and in the distance is something that "looks like a giant naked lady, breasts pointing to the sky".

So you sail down the river towards it, and it gets bigger and bigger over the next ten pages.

And then the river turns, and it fades away, but is still there. So you keep sailing.

"Getting bigger. You must be getting closer now". You keep sailing.

"Sunlight is gleaming on the statue, and it feels so close you could touch it". You keep sailing.

"You turn around another bend in a river, and there's... nothing there. You look around. Nothing. It was all a mirage. And the barge can't go any further."

So you sail all the way back...
I’ve no idea what your argument is. My point is that a “Minority Report interface”, which you specifically wanted, is hampered by the “gorilla arm” problem. You pointed to the Google Soli thing, but that does not (from what I can tell) seem to solve the gorilla arm problem either, and even if it did, a “Minority Report interface” would still have the gorilla arm problem.

> until I give a number

One big insight for me, which you obviously put to use in your story, was learning to give a different number.

"I don't know" is understandably frustrating to people who are trying to plan work and answer requests. They often respond to that by pushing for a delivery date even when it won't be accurate, but a lot of the time what they fundamentally want is a numerical answer. "I'll have it scoped out by Tuesday", "I need at most 3 days to learn enough to estimate", and so on all aid that planning without committing to a project timeline. That rarely ends the conversation, just as it didn't in your example, but it does a lot to show good faith and justify not answering the initial question.
I'm from New England and this is something I've never heard of before. It seems like it should be fairly easy to tell whether a stone wall is ancient or just from the time of the settlers, so without further references I'm fairly skeptical.
Yes, it is. Print is clearer and closer to printed typography, and people just don't write enough these days for the efficiency of writing cursive when cursive is much more difficult to read.

Schools don't want to teach it because it's a waste of time. Kids these days are learning and doing most of their work on computers. When I was in elementary school, we had computers, but they complemented our handwritten work. Now they are doing homework on the computer as well. There's simply not enough practical work for children to practice their cursive on; they won't get good at it doing it an hour every day, and the skill will quickly devolve once they are out of school.

Ever since my elders accepted email as a superior communication medium, the only thing I've ever used cursive for in the last 20+ years is my signature. Like most people's, it's just a semi-unique scribble at this point. For most people, the skill of cursive writing serves no appreciable purpose. If we're going to teach kids cursive in the 21st century, we might as well teach them all how to spin yarn, navigate with a magnetic compass, shoe a horse, and balance a paper checkbook.
No, no one is talking about typing time--well at least not just typing time.

After reading the more detailed Wired article, I can assuredly place myself in the "cautiously optimistic" car of the hype train for the PS5 (I myself own a PS4 Pro that I've been happy with).

There are a lot of solid boxes that Sony's ticking: backwards compatibility with the previous generation, sticking with physical game copies instead of moving towards a "games-as-a-service" cloud model, updates to hardware that justify the new console's number increment, releasing devkits early to get game devs on board with said hardware, etc.

That being said, as others have mentioned, the support for 8K stupifies me. As far as I understand it, 8K displays are only just now becoming commercial, and only for the highest buyers. I'd much rather have higher, consistent framerates.

Ray-tracing, I'm indifferent to. If they can make it work, great, more reflective windows and puddles for all. If not, then perhaps game devs can choose not to implement it.

Shame there will be no additional information on this at E3. Makes me wonder if they're saving their winning hand for a future round of poker, so to speak.

Edit: spelling
Probably. You are selling in a niche that scammers likely don't care about. If you were selling a Macbook or iPhone, there'd probably be a lot of shady buyers.

I've bought a ton of stuff on Ebay, but only ever sold a laptop when I wasn't getting any bites on Craigslist. It was a limited-edition Dell laptop, so the buyer was really enthusiastic about it and you could tell he was a normal person and not a scammer.

Fortunately I live in a big city now and have never had issues selling in person via CL/Kijiji.

> I'm pretty sure that you'll find with these text-adventure games that they compress quite readily down to a fraction of the size you stated.

You might be surprised. Infocom games don't store text as ASCII; they use a more compact format [1] which packs three characters into every two bytes, and allows for "abbreviations" of commonly used text fragments. Obviously it's nothing like a modern compressor, but still surprisingly effective.

I tested GZIP and XZ against a sample of 19 vintage Infocom games. GZIP only managed to compress them by 30%; XZ did a little better at 40%, but still nowhere near what you'd expect for text (70-80%).

>I'm confused by this sentiment. How efficient is a developer when producing things that are incorrect?

How is this confusing?

If it takes you 2 weeks with language X to write a sloppily written app, that works 99% of the time but has some errors -- and 2 months with Rust to write a version of the same app that has no errors, what you'd you prefer?

Ever heard of "time to market"? What good it would be if you get it 100% right, and your competitor has their app already out, and captured all your potential customers?

And even if time to market is not involved, would you really care for some occasional errors, if you get the majority of the functionality you want working just fine?

If you build pacemakers and airplanes, the answer is yes.

If you build regular websites, apps, and scripts, the answer might very well be no.

That's the case, just the numbers (2 weeks, 100% etc) are made up.
One thing is that 4G is generally centrally broken out to the internet.

8K output support doesn't really cost much so I wouldn't worry about it. It doesn't matter to most of the GPU internals. Games will internally run at whatever resolution they think results in the best quality/responsiveness/fluidity/development-cost trade-off, supporting 8K doesn't change anything there.
I, too, am curious about this especially if your repository has started to become a mono-repo. My team has started owning most of the code reviews as more teams get added and contribute to their sections of the code base but it gets pretty hectic. It's not as simple as assigning certain folders as a group because lots of things are intertwined.

Yeah I'm kinda surprised by this.

Cool piece. I think there's a difference between growing/picking up skills and mastering them though that isn't covered. For instance, with aesthetic skills (drawing, sketching), I think you need to have some degree of innate creativity, or an eye, to truly become a master. It's the reason why only a few students that were apprentices to the Great Renaissance Painters went on to become famous artists themselves. There were many, many artists in the bottegas of Da Vinci or Rubens who were able to copy and distribute works like those artists, but never paint masterpieces. (https://www.artspace.com/magazine/art_101/art_market/the-evo...)

It's just one example, but I think there a lot of other principles that become a part of "Skill Trees," including collaboration, the environment you're learning in, and maybe an element of innate talent that means you never have to break down the skill.
> IMHO, all the technology investment should be put into processing and validating ballots after they've been filled out

I think the opposite. When filling a ballot, the voter can use a machine with a touchscreen. The person with poor sight can use huge fonts, the blind can use a screen reader, etc. The output from this is a printed paper form, filled out with perfectly legibility. No hanging chads, ambiguous marks, etc.

At this point, the voter (or an assistant) can verify the form just as if a human had filled it out for them.

From there, these perfectly-filled forms can be counted the old-fashioned way with many witnesses.

I am confused with the language model explorer mentioned in the article. Mentions it is for GPT-2 ,but then also says it was built using BERT. Which is it?
The central limit theorem is in the limit for the number of variables in the sum approaching infinity. In the finite world, the article explains how it's done. The article is saying, the sum of lognormals is not normal. You are saying: take enough of them and it is normal. The article is still more accurate than your reasoning for 30 stories. From the wikipedia entry for Central limit theorem " As an approximation for a finite number of observations, it provides a reasonable approximation only when close to the peak of the normal distribution; it requires a very large number of observations to stretch into the tails". To prduce a 95% confidence intervals, you have to upper-bound the tails. All methodologies that are based on sum of subtasks estimates are not evidence based. But we knew already sw methodologies are not evidence-based, did we?
tldr: No idea

From [1, page 6, 25]: "Effective enforcement of Union law requires that protection is granted to the broadest possible range of categories of persons, who, irrespective of whether they are EU citizens or third-country nationals, by virtue of work-related activities (irrespective of the nature of these activities,whether they are paid or not), have privileged access to information about breaches that would be in the public’s interest to report and who may suffer retaliation if they report them."

So there's some form of protection for non-eu citizens, but I have no idea how far it goes or how the rules will be interpreted in those cases.

Historian uses lasers to unlock mysteries of Gothic cathedrals
OpenAI GPT-2: An Almost Too Good Text Generator
The cathedral in Leon, Spain, a slightly older gothic church, was the scene of a very similar fire when a badly grounded lightning set the wooden roof on fire in May, 1966.

The damage wasn't as pronounced thanks to the stone used for the top, which was chosen for its lightness but had the added benefit of having volcanic-like properties. And especially thanks to a local mason who made the call to pull the fire brigade and sacrificed more of the wooden roofing to prevent the water weight from making the vault collapse.

I haven't found much info in English but here's a detailed account in a Spanish blog: http://cosinasdeleon.com/el-incendio-de-la-catedral-de-leon/
This has been done so many times.

The Stanford Pascal Verifier was probably the first[1] The Pascal-F Verifier, a project I headed around 1980,[2][3] used preconditions and postconditions very similar to what this guy is doing in Rust. "Specifically, full functional correctness with properties like arithmetic correctness, in-bounds array accesses, state machines correctness, functional correctness with respect to an abstract specification or security properties." - we had all that in 1983. Look at the example starting at page 56 in [2].

DEC did a lot of work on this for Modula, and later Java, in the late 1980s.[4] Modula went down with DEC. The work was mostly lost. Dafny is probably the most modern system in this line.

Memory safety by proof was coming along well in the early 1980s. Working systems existed. Automatic prover technology was working. Then came C.

The "array is a pointer" mindset of C set programming back by decades. In Pascal, there were no buffer overflows. Pascal, Modula, Ada, and on to Rust - no buffer overflows. Everything carried along size information. Subscript checking optimizations had been figured out by the 1980s, so the performance penalty was coming down.

The author mentions Sapiens, an attempt to apply machine learning to the problem of null pointers in C. (Anyone have a reference? It's hard to find.) Massive amounts of effort are being applied to try to infer information that C just can't express. This would be a lot more worthwhile if it resulted in translation of C to something better.

Forty years, and this still isn't fixed.

No, because the rules of Lorenz invariant field theories mean that the infinity you’re (presumably) expecting is mapped, via the joy of hyperbolic geometry, onto the propagation speed of that field.
