There's a lot of discussion of behavior based detections, but then it seems to lean heavily on AMSI, which is just an in-memory signature system.

Even the syscall monitoring, I wonder if it's really "Given a known sequence of suspicious syscalls" as opposed to "Given a known sequence of good syscalls" eg: signatures vs baselining. Or "These syscalls semantically amount to this behavior".

From what I have seen of AMSI it's not much harder than classic AV to bypass.

I appreciate the Fileless classifications - that seems like a larger value add, but I'd love to see us also better define TTP and Behavior based detections. It implies that we are observing generalized behaviors as suspicious when in reality it's almost always some sort of combination of predefined signatures.

It is not a "behavior" (in a meaningful way) when an attacker uses specific parameters on powershell or some LOLBAS executable, it's just a very specific technique, which is subject to change. The higher level "Got a process to execute and do a thing" is what the behavior is, to me, and what we should detect.

To be fair LOLBAS and Fileless are still uncommon approaches for malware, so it is not surprising that it's taking time to hammer out how we should be building out our view of the issue.

Still, ATP is a great product, not trying to be overly negative. I think Microsoft is in a really good position to start hammering out the definitions for some of these concepts. I'll give this article another read I'm sure.
I have not implied it can be used as evidence.
On a car with a manual transmission, killing the starter doesn't do much as you can bump start the car (get the engine spinning by driving the engine via the transmission rather than the starter).

> Gen-ed humanities courses taught to giant lecture halls aren't quite the same as the much smaller courses the majors take

This depends on the type of institution. Liberal arts and most honors colleges at large universities have small class sizes with high-quality instruction for their gen-ed humanities.

> You are extremely likely to be put on the spot and made to defend a subjective position you've taken.

This is also true in (good) mathematics and computer science programs, where you'll need to learn how to communicate well to technical audiences and defend all manner of subjective positions.

Also, something similar is true for the transferability of humanities skills! The writing skills you develop in humanities courses do not directly transfer to technical writing. Learning to write well for any audience will teach you a lot about good writing, but your random English major will probably be completely useless when it comes to writing proofs, design/requirements documents, technical documentation, or especially useful comments in their code. And if I had a dollar for ever business person with a humanities background who made an ass out of themselves in a technical meeting because they have no idea how to communicate with a technical audience about a technical subject... ;-)

> In math, and to some extent engineering or science, you can often reason your way through if you get stuck, or else there are simple procedures you can rote memorize.

I disagree. Your observation about lower vs. upper division courses is as true for STEM as it is for humanities courses. There's a lot of subjectivity/taste involved in upper-division courses, especially any proof-based or project-based course!

> But K-12 math education in the US is such a disaster that the universities wouldn't stand a chance if they wanted to do it.

That's a big problem. It's also a chicken-and-egg problem. Our elementary and middle school teachers are often innumerate, which makes it hard to prepare students for HS (where the quality is often still bad despite subject-area qualifications), which in turn creates problems for gen ed STEM at universities.

When one tells the truth there is no guarantee that the listener lives closely enough with the truth to recognize it as such, the filters of their life often obscurring the simpler reality that some few others choose to inhabit.

All that is important is living and telling one's truth because, in the end, most people don't even know who Dunning & Kruger are, let alone that McArthur Wheeler bears a great resemblance to the vast majority of humanity in the early 21st Century.
Yes and no. There are several medium sized publishers that run their own accounts and are active participants in the conversations. It is a slightly different structure because you can meet and talk with them at conventions too but in the end it is a marketing tool to build their audience. Some of the most famous game designers in the world actively communicate with other members all the time. There are also sub-communities of just people who design games or people who follow popular game reviewers, etc. I was just trying to make the point that there are some communities on Twitter but they are self organizing. There are sites like boardgamegeek that are popular too but some of the reddit communities have weird rules like not being able to post that you have a new game coming out.

That's true.

But what if I have a radical position about being correct (which I have)?

There's no place for debate with people being just radical about their own agenda.

I don't think it's money grubbing. I think it's a genuine attempt to connect with the zeitgeist and be relevant, paired with a fundamental misunderstanding about what's actually happening inside self-driving groups.

But the intention doesn't really matter.

What matters is the utility of the output!

In fact, somewhat ironically, I think a lot of the good work on ethics for AI is coming out of engineering, business, statistics, and economics departments. And those academic departments to do be a bit more "money grubbing" relative to philosophy :-)

If you find this interesting, you should give the paper "Basic Polymorphic Typechecking" by Luca Cardelli a read[0].

Today I see the establishment, mainstream media, Republican moderates and Democratic leadership foaming at the mouth with conspiracies about how Trump is a Russian spy, and how Russia controls US elections and other wild conspiracies.

Meanwhile the "radicals" - Noam Chomsky, Ralph Nader, Glenn Greenwald - as well as diehard Trump MAGA supporters, think all of these Russisn conspiracies are overblown, if they have any basis at all.

In science questioning the mainstream, establishment narrative is what leads to progress. That the establishment
stigmatizes those questioning mainstream, establishment political thinking is not surprising. Of course they would be found "in error".

Modern “Industrial level selective breeding” (which frequently uses a variety of mutagens to maximize the frequency and magnitude of genetic changes to select from) is distinguished from transgenics as a method of inducing genetic change largely by the fact that it's a lot less controlled as to what is going on beyond the targeted trait.

It's kind of odd to scaremonger about organisms whose DNA is a result of transgenic modification but to be okay about those whose DNA is a result of modern industrial selective breeding.
It's hard to believe that a stern mounted oar-rudder would be a viable steering mechanism to make a 5,700 nautical mile trip from Rome to Rio de Janeiro especially since the "New World" is 1,000 miles closer. Europe had to wait until the Renaissance to get its rudder technology more robust.

It seems like they plan to shift to novel hybrid architectures, at least if things like Intel owning Altera mean anything. I'd expect them to be doing things like putting neural network accelerators down and the like.

Or everyone has to make a dramatic leap to a new underlying computing physics, like the quantum dot transistor or the vacuum transistor [1] that lets them increase frequency or lower power consumption. If you double the clock frequency, I believe this still linearly increases the computing throughput, though I'm not expert enough to know if that's still strictly true.

Huawei Is at the Center of Political Controversy
For me, this feels more like a problem of mindset. I'd talk to one of my fellow developer and after giving him feedback that this 500-line bash script desperately needs to be broken up into functions, he replied: "of course, we'll do that when there's time". The problem is, there's never time.

Documentation is best written right when you finish writing the code and you're happy with it. At the very least, I'd recommend writing comments which will make the author remember the most important things that need to be documented.

Lack of docs, or 'we'll refactor it later' code has also become my #1 reason for refusing to merge. I'd allow it if and only if the deadline is today, and it's Friday at 3pm.

It's also true though that a lot of my fellow developers were just utterly bad at writing documentation. If I saw an attempt, though, I'd merge and fix the docs later (or pester them about fixing it later).

I work in this space and regularly interact with folks on both sides of that aisle.

I would hire both. If you want to do anything serious in the space, you need the resources to hire a well-rounded team. Maybe in five years this won't be true, but at the moment this is a space where technological capabilities are driving policy making decisions.

I had to choose one, the answer depends on if this is a soldier or a general.

If it's a soldier ($ or $$ salary), I would choose a CS PhD who has demonstrated an interest and aptitude for learning about policy. There are a lot of opportunities for that person to learn about policy including part-time fellowships with think tanks and federal agencies, sometimes even embedded in a lawmaker's staff. Conversely, taking a policy person and getting them to the point where they can adequately process the fire hose of AI fairness/safety/explainability research is going to require a lot more effort.

If it's a general ($$$ or $$$$ salary), I would choose whoever I could manage to hire that has the most influence in whatever agency or legislature is most relevant to the policies I want to push.

But again, especially for soldiers, it's a false choice, and if you find yourself in a situation where you have to make this choice then you need to focus on fundraising instead of your first hire...

>asking for substantiations of claims is becoming on HN

This is a really shitty e-debate tactic. If you have something to say, say it. Pointing out that other people are quoting well-known bankrupt ideas doesn't justify having a baseline conversation on the merits of those ideas. It's enough to call a spade a spade. It's been done to death. Don't pretend otherwise.
You're getting downvotes for reasons that are probably obvious, but in fact you see this happen often enough for it to be notable as an occasional phenomenon - although currently it's far more likely to happen left -> right than right -> left.

Some radicals aren't radical at all. They're actually authoritarian malcontents who will jump on any bandwagon that allows them some publicity, attention, and power.

These people infect and distort public politics.

They're often malignant narcissists, which can make them shockingly hypocritical, especially when they appear on the left - not to mention potentially violent.

A lot of the left/right rhetoric is really about people accusing other people of being this kind of person. IMO if they were kept well away from power, politics as a whole would be far saner.

Also IMO at this point in time they're far more of a problem on the right than the left. That hasn't always been true in the past, but right now it's a lot easier to find the odd person who started out as (say...) a student Marxist suddenly fervently supporting xenophobic anti-immigration policies than vice versa.

(why copyright doesn't apply in general, though it can apply to specific decorative elements—software, apparently, isn't generally useful), you can patent clothing designs and design elements, with the same non-obviousness, etc., rules applicable to other patents of useful invention. So that's kind of an odd argument to use against patentability of a useful article.
How to Speed Up the Testing of New Materials
I used to like Ayn Rand, but then I discovered the fatal flaw in the whole philosophy which is that she conflates ability with morality. All of the good guys are highly competent, all of the bad guys are incompetent bumblers. Reality is not like that.

Having read some Stalin biographies for example, I am really impressed by his legendary competence as a politician and administrator and how he could effectively build and administer a country totally paralyzed in fear of him, but the morality of it all is of course miserably poor.
I totally agree there are other issues that have come to light. But those aren’t in any way part of the government calculation of the fine in this case.

I think it’s important to be rigorous and even handed in calculating these fines. Part of that is identifying precisely what action(s) are being called out, and how the fine is calculated. I disagree with many of the EU fines, but I do think they are fairly methodical about how they calculate the amounts. ‘We don’t like you, and you do lots of other bad stuff’ is not a valid methodology.

Repeat offender certainly is justification for multiplying the fine, but at this point in this particular case that’s jumping the gun.

In the case of verifying a user’s email by asking them for their password, that seems to have been an egregious mistake that was quickly rectified once it was called out, and although certainly they could have used that access to pilfer contacts (and a whole host of other personal info) I don’t believe anyone has claimed they actually did that, and they said definitively that they did not. For what that’s worth.

Having read through that it's not really directly relevant to quantum physics (at least what I learned in undergrad). It is super applicable to general relativity and electrodynamics though!

Many things mention about other services are still possible with IRC; in some cases by the client side and in some cases by the server side. Server side logging is possible (and I have implemented this once) with IRC. Still, you can make it available with multiple protocols, and you can alter an implementation of a IRC server even if you do not have it available with other protocols too. IRC is also easy to use without any special software.

I currently have a NNTP server set up, but not IRC or any other kind of chat system (but if I do set one up, it will almost certainly be IRC).
How about Owntracks. It can do geofencing
If you're going to attempt a definition like this you need some more conditions (approaching concepts like linearity, for instance). Otherwise you can have a black box like x^3y^3-u^3v^3 that takes in [u,v] and [x,y]^T and spits out a real number; that's not a matrix-y operation.
