the word that sticks out the most is "Trust". We haven't even solved trust with non-AI systems. Half the time I don't even trust myself and it's also not a binary state, and in constant flux. It's such a fuzzy, non-scientific concept that if we would replace every instance of the word "Trust" with "Faith" it would be clear that Trust is an unsolvable problem. "Trusting AI" is the ultimate oxymoron. Snake-oil vendors have also figured this out which is why we have the equally brain dead concept of "trustless"[1].

[1] the ultimate snake-oil is ofc combining the 2 words which gives you: https://trustless.ai

Really happy to see PubMed improving over time!

One thing I'm missing is a recommendation service of articles that might be relevant for me. I used to read a lot of Machine Learning/Math papers on arXiv and I have found arXiv-sanity [0] to be extremely useful, maybe something similar would be great as a part of PubMed functionality - being able to keep track of research which is relevant to the papers I've added to my favorites.

Also, I'm slightly confused by the sort order in the search. I found four options for sorting the items while searching:

* Default order

* Pub Date

* Journal

* PMC Live Date

IIUC "Default order" is not "sort by the number of citations/citation index", but that's what I typically want when I'm trying to figure out what are the most important/influential research in the field.

I generally support most things AWS does, but agree with you here. Though documentation you get a handle on fairly quick... Nearly all SDKs follow the same pattern. Still room for improvement. The lack of easy helpers (like for signing setup and validation) got us too.

There are many types of multi-factor authentication and randomly generated dynamic passcodes. There is time-based and counter-based (aka event-based) and combination of both. There is also MFA that have and don’t have seed registration.

There is MFA for corporate use and different ones for end users.

End user MFA often consists of TOTP, HOTP, FIDO U2F, WebAuth and SMS OTP. Each one of these have different security and usability profiles. SMS OTP has the lowest security profile but the broadest reach (no mobile app or token key necessary). Most mobile Authenticator apps support the TOTP and HOTP formats. But few of them are cross-platform and on multiple devices with auto-filling capabilities with an optional integrated password manager and Authenticator like SAASPASS. In addition most Authenticator apps do not have secure backup and restore capabilities. But the weak link in most consumer implementations of MFA is not the MFA but the automated account recovery process that is often susceptible to SIM Swap attacks (you are only as strong as your weakest link - irrespective of MFA usage). The SAASPASS mobile app has a Security Scan function that identifies duplicate and weak passwords and in addition services that have the Authenticator (TOTP/HOTP) format of MFA in the password manager.

As for corporates the choices of configurable MFA can vary from (from SAASPASS):

Manual OTP (offline supported)

Push Login Approval

Scan Encrypted Barcode

Remote Login 2FA (IoT)

Remote Lock 2FA (IoT)

Mobile On Device Login

Mobile Web URL callback

Proximity (offline supported)

App to App (with SDK)

SAASPASS Connect

SAASPASS system offerings:

SMS OTP

Email OTP

3rd Party Tokens:

HOTP tokens

TOTP tokens

FIDO U2F (offline supported)

Yubico OTP

Biometric Methods:

FaceID - iPhone

TouchID - iPhone

Fingerprint on Android

Facial on Android

Facial Authentication (offline supported on-premise)

-

Corporates should still use Access Control policies (even with the strongest of MFA implementations like Scanning Encrypted Barcodes).

You might find it interesting that some German universities [1] actively send out deauthentication packages to clients that connect to SSIDs that are not on their internal whitelist to "protect" the clients from "rogue APs".

You may be afraid to lose business, and that could be the case if the partner company is your only source of clients.

Friday: Further Thought – Leaders in Israel
You are absolutely right, but I don't think the philosophy of science demands that you actually follow the scientific method during discovery mode. What it says, though, is that if you discover any scientific knowledge, its discovery process must be castable in the way of the scientific method. Meaning, when someone else checks or replicates your result, they can actually follow the four step process, and recreate that same knowledge.

Science more than just a collection of facts, is a description of a set of experimental processes that recreate those facts. Which is where the authority-lessness power of it comes from.
I have trained with common voice data and it certainly does very good..however a decent speech recognition has still a long way to go... These models work good in controlled environment with a mic...but real world use cases are having noise, dynamic environment, varied pitches etc... on top of it everyone expects your voice recognition to be like Google or Alexa... I am still looking for a decent deep learning based solution that can work in a real environment..

You can also view the entire compiler internals in a visual way using the igv tool. You can actually get much better insight into how your code is getting compiled on a JVM like the GraalVM than with a C compiler.

In cooking (to a greater degree than baking), there are certainly people who lean towards improvising and people who follow the recipe.

I tend towards improvising but it depends both on the source of the recipe--if it's from something like Cook's Illustrated I can be pretty confident it's been pretty thoroughly tested and compared with alternatives--and how familiar/opinionated I am about the general type of food. As I've gained experience over the years, I definitely have increasingly tended to make changes and not sweat details that don't seem critical. (e.g. this ingredient is close enough or is used in such small quantity that I'll feel free to substitute or omit rather than make a special trip to the store.)
Most often there is no opt-out button. Just a big banner that you have to ignore, click accept, or block using ublock origin. Pretty sure that they use cookies regardless of your choice.
Wow maybe don't be a dick or be friends with dicks who don't want to be friends with people who hold some different opinions. I enjoy listening to my friends unhinged ranting.
Yeah and with Windows 10 you can't even set the title bar color to be black unless you either download 3rd party tools or hack around in your registry.

On the bright side, with native Linux you can customize everything. It's so fun to customize your window manager, status bar, etc. and have everything look and work exactly how you want.
Certainly it will, but I said already that I am against cookie banners.

I applaud the attempt of getting rid of a standard confirmation modal, but when introducing novel UI like this you need to be more explicit.

Suggestion:

like this maybe:

If you want explainable AI you can fit a linear regression.
How then to explain the huge variations in recipes? Most recipes (there are exceptions like baking) are simply a suggestion to me and I improve upon them to great result. Although I will admit I am naturally gifted at it, and also have loads of experience. If a soup tastes bland and needs more salt, I am going to make the soup taste good and not worry about respecting the recipe.

This is how I understood the notion of Hausdorff dimension when reading Mandelbrot's book.

Pick a stick to measure the length of the curve. As you break it into smaller sticks, you can fit them in tighter niches within the curve, and your measure of the curve's length becomes greater and greater. In the case of the Koch curve, breaking your stick in 3 means you'll be able to measure a length 4 times greater.
Yup. The target for MFA is not perfect security, but security better than passwords alone — the bar is quite low to start with. And all of the above techniques offer that to varying degrees.

I use strong passwords on all sensitive accounts, stored in a local password manager, with an authenticator app for those that don't accept my Fido2 Yubkey. Seems good enough to me.
It can only store up to 2 passwords, OnlyKey stores 24. For full comparison see https://crp.to/p

> Baking is easy

Hmm, not for everyone!

I'm a competent cook (self taught, cooking for 20 years or so), and at home cooking western dishes, as well as thise from around the world (Chinese, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, all sorts), yet baking is the one thing I seem to find difficult.

Firstly, it seems you have to get your measurements right - there isn't much room for experimentation with quantities, just follow the recipe. Aside from that, my mixture/dough always seems too wet, too sticky, too dry, too whatever it shouldn't be! And I don't seem to have the knack for how to fix it, or an intuition to know when it's "right". Same deal when it makes it to the oven; things often end up over or under baked, because I just don't have the knack of knowing when it's done.
In 2019 I set week long goals and if I didn't meet them, did a review of why and tried to minimize what stopped me (often meant blocking or uninstalling distractions, making more time in a literal calendar, or contacting people for help).

I can't help you set those goals and do this every week, but I made a ritual of it on Sunday afternoons, and building it as a habit contributed significantly to me actually ever doing it.
Sorry, but nepotism, politics and connections are even more important in the cryptocurrency/blockchain industry than in traditional tech or even finance. In crypto/blockchain it's ALL about who you know. And the lack of good regulation means that good contacts can get your firm advantages that would literally be illegal in the traditional finance world. I guess the only real distinction is that the industry is spread out more and not centered in one or two cities.

There's no Mutter Paneer Police! It's just that maybe 80% of all Matar Paneer served in homes and restaurants will have a specific amount of ginger (and definitely no solid chunks) and if you go over or under, there may be some tut-tutting dealt quietly.
Your analogy is flawed, the validity of my argument is independent of whether I am who I claim to be. HN does not require strong identity verification to function.

As for the convenience, I think the same kind of reasoning brought us endless ads and tracking.
European tech regulator despairs over lack of enforcement
This was a very interesting read. I’ve never gotten this in depth with my nutrition before. I’m beginning to think I might want to look more into a keto style diet.

I eat a lot of carbs ( mostly clean, veges and fruits ) and cook most of my food at home. I’ve been maintaining weight but haven’t really lost much fat.

I know my diet is the reason, so the answer is probably to reduce carbs and increase the proteins. Perhaps try for a longer intermittent fast.
This is gold, thanks.

Carrying your own smart cards and smart card reader may work for some use cases but I'm sure you can see why a small key attached to your key chain is a better solution in most cases.
Ribbons are far harder to scan than menus; text is easier to scan for new semantic associations (actions you've never performed before), and menus have a regular aligned layout, while ribbons inconsistently mix text and icons and use inconsistent action sizing requiring an irregular scan pattern.

If you're a repeat user, icons start becoming easier to find than text, and the inconsistent grid starts having a geographic element that helps with muscle memory. For a new user, I reckon menus are easier, especially if combined with status bar help text (remember that?).

Weigh your ingredients. Get a scale that is accurate to the gram and if your recipe calls for cups and such find a conversion chart. I only follow recipes that give amounts in grams and milliliters.

I used lose it. I will go back to it but I haven't used it for a few months. What worked for me was logging on the table, as soon as I got the food. Once I started deferring it, ok I will log it later at end of day, I started slipping. The reason for deferral was similar to yours: I want to go more fine grained and be accurate, but no: you are deferring it and eventually I will get into a state where I miss a day or 3 and now no way to go back and fix. So the next time I start (touch wood), enter as you grab the food.

> So either return the whole struct as values or, alternatively - and this is the way most library functions do it - call the function with a pointer to an empty struct which the function then fills.

Mind you, under the hood all your structs will be returned through pointers to caller-allocated memory, unless it can fit into 8 bytes.

“To return a user-defined type by value in RAX, it must have a length of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits. [...] Otherwise, the caller assumes the responsibility of allocating memory and passing a pointer for the return value as the first argument.”

Why Clojure Is My Favourite Language

Last I looked at it, it was created in 1993 (enterprise OOP craze?) and was just regular DLLs containing regular code, wrapped in tons of symbols cruft to make a "dynamic classes protocol" work.

If you actually have to deal with it directly from a non-managed language, I'm very doubtful that it's nicer than a well-written C header file. What I did when I saw MFC macros and 40 lines of boilerplate to marshal arguments to call into a single entry point, was to RUN, which is probably a good idea unless you want to put tons of supporting tooling and code generation in place.
