There's active work on this (although in two separate strands of research).

The first is multi-document summarization. Back in 2018 Google published Generating Wikipedia by Summarizing Long Sequences[1] which did a great job of combining multiple pages into a single Wikipedia-like document. Models have strengthened a lot since then so it should be possible to do better, but I haven't seen any work.

There's also a bunch of work on summarization of a single document into a few sentences.

The second piece of research work is Question Answering. There are multiple directions for that, but looking at recent work on the SQUAD 2.0 leaderboard should give you a good idea of what is possible[2].

Basically, combining these systems should work quite well a lot of the time.

"If the moral principle here is that countries shouldn't try to draw scientific talent from other countries"

I think even the most nationalist and hawkish members of the elite/gov/administration fully understand the value of research and that it's international. The US missile and nuclear program were built by foreign, often formerly 'baddy' scientist after all.

At the same time, anything of strategic importance in China is tied to the state and therefore tied to all their other shifty activities.

The 'Red Scare' of the Cold War was based on very legitimate concerns, unfortunately, there were people who shouldn't have been dragged into the net caught up in it - and so this is the issue: how to act, where to draw the line, legal and moral legitimacy etc..

China speaks with one voice, the West speaks with a thousand voices (heads of state, research, government, military, NGO etc.) and they're playing a very aggressive game of 'divide and conquer' which warrants a ton of scrutiny.

Our job is to figure out how to counter the threat and to make tough decisions ... whilst minimizing damage, goodwill, and keeping an eye on some future where we all get along.

Unfortunately, I feel this tension may last a long time.

WireGuard is cool and we really like it at our company (a bunch of infosec consultants). The management of it for an even small number (20) of users is a no-go. OpenVPN is ultra reliable and provides legit 2FA options when set up well. I look forward to legit management tools and improvements. For personal use it has been great. Much simpler than OpenVPN for a few (3) users.
Steel is made using fire, and to use flint, you must be aware of its existence, its fire-marking properties, and where to find it.
> Of course Neanderthal knew how to make fire...

How do you know? Saying "of course" implies a level of certainty that does not seem warranted, given how much we don't know about the Neanderthals.
Isn't it sad that herbicide use was increased in both, regardless of the rapidity?
This conclusion does not seem to be the simplest conclusion from the evidence. Forest fires would be more rare in cold periods, but they would still occur - if they happened 10 times less often you'd expect to see around 10% as much fire usage, not 0%. While it is possible Neanderthals in the region abruptly stopped using fire in the region for tens of thousands of years, another possibility is that they started making a different style of hearth which did not leave the same form of evidence. Perhaps they switched to making fires in different parts of or outside the cave, or perhaps they built fires on raised stones that provided better airflow but also meant buried artifacts recieved less heat, or perhaps as sediment built up in the cave they started digging pits for their hearths which would make them appear older, etc.

While none of this explicitly rules out the possibility that Neanderthals lacked the ability to make fire, that a hominin so similar to us that we could potentially crossbreed could survive in arctic climates without fire is an extraordinary claim, and absence of evidence for fire at these locations is not necessarily evidence of absence.
I dunno, it's kinda consistent. Braces are optional for single expression bodied if statements too. It doesn't really seem all that strange for them to be optional for single expression lambdas.

I wasn't trying to justify the prison system based on anything. We use incapacitation, but that doesn't justify anything.

I wasn't trying to don some faultless, sterile, harmless guise. To eliminate your suspicion: my preference is for a combination of retribution, deterrence, and restitution. I'm in no way ashamed to say that I prefer those over incapacitation. Sadly, the USA mainly uses incapacitation, probably because it causes the least outrage.

BTW, you left some items off your list:

- restitution: the criminal must pay back the victim or the society for the harm caused (with money, organs, etc.)

- religion: we must do something (crucifixion, stoning, amputation, etc.) demanded by God

You're totally right.

God knows why he wanted to lie, perhaps the DoD grants are really important for the lab. Giving how sensitive things are with China, I think it's fair to say that it would have had a large impact on those grants.

"Hawaiki Rising" by Sam Low is also an excellent read.
When you write a sequential program, you are essentially specifying one order of instructions that will produce the correct output. With parallel program, you need to consider every possible orders and add the correct synchronization to prevent unwanted orders from happening. That's the difficult part.

As a programming model, threads don't really help you to achieve this. When there's a bug, your only option is pretty much to think very hard and try to figure out what happened. (Or to use gdb with scheduler locking, which is about as bad.)

Just a heads up: on mobile (Android Q) clicking on 'Get started using Reddit' gives me an 'No apps can perform this action' error from the OS. I have the reddit app installed, so most likely the link tries to open the app (instead of opening the link within the browser) and fails.

Things that aren’t labelled properly are illegal in a lot of European countries an the EU doesn’t have power to overrule that. GMO products has pushed this hard over the years because almost no one wants to buy them.

Hell in Denmark where I live, half of our super market chains outright refuse to carry things like eggs from cage-hens. So they likely wouldn’t ever offer chemical washed chicken American for sale, and they’ll likely even use it in commercial to tell consumers how much better than their competitors they are.
Not as far as I know, but that's not a distinction worth making. It's not a stretch to assume a man of as few scruples as he had also indulged his base instincts. And even if he didn't, these men were under his direct command and supervision, and performed these crimes with his foreknowledge.

Hitler (inb4 Poe's law) didn't personally drag people into gas chambers.
The article seems to muddy the distinction between whether Neanderthals were mentally or physically incapable of making fire, or whether they were simply ignorant. The article talks about chimps, who are incapable of making fire even when modern humans try to teach them. Chimps aren't merely ignorant; they're incapable.

In some parts of the world, homo sapiens and neanderthals lived alongside each other for thousands of years, close enough to have hybrid offspring. If earlier neanderthals were merely ignorant, they could have learned how to make fire from homo sapiens. Fire making isn't an innate human behavior, it's something that we teach each other. Since neanderthals obviously had the dexterity and brainpower to nap tools out of flint, which chimps are incapable of, the talk of chimps being unable to make fire doesn't seem particularly relevant.

I don't doubt for an instant that some homo sapiens and some neanderthals didn't know how to make fire. But that's a weaker claim than the blanket statement about all neanderthals.
Can you elaborate as to what "model-guided approach" OpenBSD is going to use?

I am skeptical of the claim that it is more "pragmatic" to adopt formal methods to achieve memory safety, as the number of projects that achieve memory safety through formal methods is multiple orders of magnitude smaller than the number of projects that achieve memory safety through just writing in a memory-safe language.
Hmmm... looks like it was a Pew poll and indeed, most citizens of Arab nations don’t believe Arabs were responsible for 9/11.

When asked who was responsible, they said “America or Israel”[1]

So while MEMRI’s statement is not factually correct (it wasn’t Gallup and they didn’t ask the question of who did 9/11 to everyone), it’s not that far off base.

I got the feeling that it's presently aimed more as a replacement for IPSEC site-to-site VPN, which is annoying as hell to configure considering the number of implementations and likelihood that one messed up setting will cause an inscrutable problem. Cipher suite incompatibility, subnet export and routing issues, and there's always the delightful fact that it never seems completely clear that you've got a tunnel up and running. I welcome a clear alternative.

This is a good test of capabilities, but not of humanity. A normal human response to such an order would be "f* off".
Unfortunately the resources to resolve the issue are rival and limited.

This ultimately means that giving to the poor deprives another.

The question then becomes should the parents and children of parents who make more sustainable choices be forced to support the parents and children those who don't. This is generally the current state of our welfare system.
Tax burden and impact is predominantly on the middle class.

The result is dysgenic, i.e. Better outcomes are punished, worse outcomes are rewarded.

Its also a classic trolley problem, and thus both action (wealth distribution) and inaction are immoral.

The next argument will be that we should lift everyone to a minimum standard. However this still fails the test above and fails to realise that wealth is unfortunately relative.

Couple that with the dead-weight loss of the tax system and you actually create a spiral of poverty that starts to consume all except the richest.
And: confirming, based on the DoJ press release.

> He is trying to survive like everyone else.. who the hell am I to sit in the comfy first world and judge?

This line of reasoning ultimately leads to the conclusion that morals only apply in situations where it’s comfortable and convenient to apply them. Perhaps any particular scammer has been the victim of their own set of injustices (or just as likely, perhaps not), but that in no way excuses their victimisation of others. They’re adults too. Not some poor lowly Indians who had no choice but to defraud the vulnerable.

I chuckled because that was the last experience I had with Hackintosh before I caved and bought a real Mac (2011). But to be perfectly honest, it is the same experience that I have been having on my 2017 MacBook Pro.
It never ceases to amaze me how stubbornly educators have clung to the OSI model. It describes a non-Internet protocol stack which was designed in the 1970s, and which was never fully implemented. Attempting to use its layers as an ontology for Internet protocols is doomed to failure, as some of its layers (especially Layer 6) describe components which have no direct equivalent on the Internet.
There are two existing update frameworks that work on this model, one based on ostree and another from Intel called swupd.

Depends on the restaurant, the last one I ate at produce their own stuff at a couple of local free range farms that they corporate with. Once in a while you can even go visit the farms at special cooking out events. Not really uncommon here either.

I mean, if you order a pizza from the cheapest place then sure, but they already sell some really dodgy meats. We’ve had quite a few scandals where the beef turned out to be horse. Illegal, but you kind of know the stuff they sell is close to poison.
Yes but it sounds like their strategy is changing to having things which are disposable in the middle of these cycles to make extra revenue.

That's the uncool part.

There's nothing stopping someone from adapting an emulator to Stadia's rendering framework, although I'm not sure Google would approve the result. I agree with you that Google acquihiring (for example) Good Old Games might have been cool, but IMHO Google is pitching the other end of the performance spectrum: play AAA games on a Chromebook.

If they had done both then they could have released GOG titles as filler between AAA releases and that would have been something.
If you read the article, this RCE had nothing to do with memory safety. But, a model checker does a great job of finding memory issues as well as logic errors, if you use it correctly.

OpenBSD, AFAIC, has not announced any plans. But, there are plenty of tools out there that work. CBMC is a solid example and it is one I have used to great success with both systems programming and firmware development. As noted, this requires both a process change and a use of this tooling. Properly using assertions is a skill, but it can typically be cross-checked using existing manual processes with the added benefit of catching logic issues like the one that caused this RCE.
I can’t install the official WireGuard on my Macs that are stuck on High Sierra. Love WireGuard for Android and iOS. I think there’s a way to do it on High Sierra with brew but I haven’t dug too deep.
> But that means the software can't use a write-back cache and can't start writing to the disk except in response to an explicit user action that the user expects to initiate a write; otherwise you run the risk that the disk drive will be opened in the middle of the write.

You can just require the user to `umount` the disk before physically taking it out. And if a disk does get taken out before the read/write even starts, the OS can detect this and show a message `You MUST reinsert media $LABEL into drive: Abort/Retry/Ignore?`

The fact that memory-safe languages don't prevent every bug ever is not an argument against their use, any more than the fact that some people die in car accidents even when wearing a seatbelt is an argument that you shouldn't wear seatbelts.
This is where I would disagree with your belief that mutations are caused by replication rates rather than environmental feedback responses. The bandwidth of environmental sampling of larger species such as these crabs permits greater adaptability in near-future generations. I speak specifically to metabolizing de novo proteins in this novel environment which promote cellular replication stability, ie survival, eg enteric coatings.

I think you presuppose climate change is a disaster in your extinction judgment rather than a transient response to human industrialization.
Solving the world's trillion-dollar energy storage crisis. (multi-trillion, actually.)
https://www.terramenthq.com/

About a year ago, I started spending more time researching about climate change. I learned how important energy storage will be to enable renewable energy to displace fossil fuels. The more I read, the more fascinated I became with the idea of building underground pumped hydro energy storage. I found a research paper from the U.S. DOE written in 1984 showing that the idea was perfectly feasible and affordable, but it seems that nearly everyone has forgotten about it since. (they didn't build it at the time because the demand wasn't there yet. Now energy storage demand is growing exponentially)

A year later, I'm applying for grant funding to get it built. I know that nearly everyone will tell me I can't do it because this or that reason. Because people don't like change and they're scared of big things even if the research shows it makes perfect sense. But I'm doing it anyways because no one else is getting it done. The idea is too compelling and too important to ignore. So here goes nothing!
