It's also possible that they were just trying to protect a student from investing years into a project that they deemed to have a low (but perhaps non-zero) chance of success. This is a thing that good advisors should do to protect their students from career-wasting wild goose chases.

The fact that the two interactions were very different with four years and a completed thesis between them doesn't surprise me at all. My own embarrassing story is that I advised Jason Donenfeld to submit his WireGuard paper to NDSS, forgot about the meeting entirely after a few months, then complained (in retrospect, unfairly) when NDSS accepted it. Advisors do stupid, embarrassing, forgetful things all the time. The OP's story isn't even a misdemeanor.

I'm sure the CPUs are capable, physically, of running a checksum or hash, but that doesn't mean they are capable in the sense that it's capability exposed to the maintenance operator or generally part of the update system.

Those systems probably have ECC memory, but who knows how many bits? And none of that helps you if the software you're loading into the system is corrupted in the first place.

Any procedure that relies on a human to verify the data integrity is broken. Based on what we know today, the FAA is completely incompetent and Boeing does the absolute minimum required to get a plane off the ground. Why should I expect them to do literally anything? They need a top to bottom audit.

Great comment! We're pretty much in agreement with all of this.

> can I query the same dataset at two different PIT using layered querying in SQL

Yes. We have a query that does this on our home page (it's the second in the carousel at the top):

SELECT
new.domain AS domain,
new.id AS id,
new.name AS name
FROM
"splitgraph/socrata:20200809".datasets old
RIGHT OUTER JOIN
"splitgraph/socrata:20200810".datasets new

This is querying two versions of the same image.

> are you storing the entire dataset as new or only the diff between versions

Basically we store the diffs between versions, yes. The simplified explanation is that data images are an initial snapshot + chain of diffs ("delta-compressed"). You can read more in the concepts section of the docs. [0]

> Git-like semantics (pull, push, checkout, commit) are poorly suited for versioned, immutable datasets

We pretty much agree with this. Some similar projects take the wrong approach and try to implement 100% of git commands "for data." But it's a square peg trying to fit into a round
hole. The use cases are not the same. There are some similarities, but they're limited. Our goal was to step back and think from first principles: What do we like about our coding tools? How can we get the same benefits with data?

> Versions should be at least partially ordered and monotonically increasing. Hashes doesn't convey the information necessary to decide if dataset:de4d is an earlier version of dataset:123a, or not.

Sure. If you want monotonically increasing versions, you can do that by tagging an image with `sgr tag`. (FWIW, image hashes are currently random, but the hashes of objects that comprise them are not -- they're actually content addressable representations of the changeset from the root to that version using an algorithm called LTHash.)

> Tracing a derived dataset provenance will only work if you can assert that the "code" or transformations applied to the original dataset is deterministic (side-effect free).

Yes, definitely. Dataset provenance works best when you use Splitfiles [1] to construct images. It's still possible to run into problems with non-determinism, but for the OLAP use case, we think those situations should be rare.

Why Ethereum 2 client diversity matters
Well I used to think that UTF-8 symbols are terrible, until I saw how Julia implement it

Most special symbols have escapable names so for example
Julia have a composition operator (∘)
In the repl or supported editors (atom and vs code), if you type \circ then press <tab> the repl or the editor will replace that with the symbol ∘

Now, I am not saying that this is better than ascii characters, I still prefer ascii characters, and I still find that Unicode symbol even with good editor support are harder to type, and also in some case like in the case this composition operator ∘ hard to read

I just don't think its not terrible anymore, its passable, and I understand why some people might like it more, but good editor support is a must
This is going to sound harsh, but I am genuinely trying to help.

I replied to you earlier[0] at considerable length when you asked about how to acquire users ... you haven't replied.

You continue to post here again and again and again and again, the same thing over and over, with no evidence that you are actually open to receiving advice, suggestions, or feedback.

More, HN users are not your target audience anyway!

My advice ... and I have no expectation that you will read this, let alone respond, but even so I offer it for free ... is to back off submitting the same thing repeatedly, think hard, and write something concerning your site that specifically targeted at the HN audience.

Your site is slick and glossy, it's probably lovely, but I'm not in your target audience either, so I haven't used it, and won't know how usable or useful it is. It might be wonderful, but this is not the place to get users. This is the place to get advice about the site, business, development, strategies, etc. But you need to share things with HN before HN will respond. Simply telling us about the site won't work. We're not your audience.

So, how will you respond to that? Your coding ability is not in question, but you need to think much, much more about who you are talking to, and why. Clearly just submitting the site over and over isn't working. I've given you clues as to why not, not you need to apply yourself to solving the problem, and not just doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.

>In addition to NSA's and FBI's attribution to GTsSS, operational Drovorub command and control infrastructure has been associated with publicly known GTsSS operational cyber infrastructure

Publicly known GRU malware C&C infrastructure??? If it's became "public", wouldn't they move from it immediately? Also I guess evil GRU hackers are too stupid to use technologies like I2P, Tor, or even something simpler like Bitmessage and route control traffic via botnets of hacked routers and IoT appliances.

>The name Drovorub comes from a variety of artifacts discovered in Drovorub files and from operations conducted by the GTsSS using this malware

So they again found some Cyrillic letters in binary dumps and used it for attribution? Can we download those artifacts and see for ourselves? Or should we simply trust gentleman's word?

And if I haven't missed something the report contains a lot of unimportant noise, but fails to explain how this malware gets into systems in the first place.
I do know that. I don't know why you have to configure anything. For configurable project we make projects that contain the specific configs and wrap the common cmake. For instance "windows phone" wrapping the base app.

This also makes me ponder how you can do CI (builds) if you have to manually configure things. Or do you bake all that into the build config
I see. Thanks for adding to the clarification. I think that the presentation of nulls as "results" can definitely be disingenuous. Ideally, science would have a better database to keep track of what people find, where we could add nulls in a way that doesn't highlight their "importance". As the person above says, reporting nulls is still useful to prevent p-hacking and publication bias.

(Of course, ideally I think we'd be better off focusing on reporting the data in a Bayesian approach, but that hasn't really gotten traction in the broader community.)

Hack your tastebuds to enhance the flavor of alcohol and mellow the bite [video]
Hello fellow hackers! I am the creator of Palate Pal, a next-generation natural sweetener that not only sweetens foods, but also enhances flavor. It doesn't have any bitter/"chemical" aftertaste like all other alternative sweeteners and also a single serving will last you 30-60 minutes REGARDLESS of how much food you eat with it.

It is made from miracle fruit. This fruit has been used for centuries by tribes in Western Africa to make their food more delicious. It contains a protein that safely and temporarily binds to your tastebuds to make sour foods taste sweet as well as remove unpleasant bitter and tart flavors. For instance, bite into a lemon and it will taste like lemonade. It allows you to discover flavors previously masked by those unpleasant tastes. A strawberry tastes even more "strawberry" and a plain greek yogurt now tastes much more creamy.

Palate Pal is the first miracle fruit product that is convenient for daily use. Whereas competing products (depicted in the video) take 5-10 minutes to dissolve, mine takes 10 seconds to dissolve and contains only NATURAL ingredients. I believe miracle fruit has the potential to take willpower out of the equation of a healthy diet by making nutritious foods taste as indulgent as the junk foods that are otherwise killing us. No one has the patience to wait 5 minutes in the morning while they are rushing to school or work, so I knew this is what needed to be changed in order for miracle berry to go mainstream.

Please check out my website https://www.miracle-nutrition.com/ for more information and demos. Use the code "HN" at checkout for 10% off.

I'm not saying you are wrong, not OP, not you. But the argument is just plane wrong.

Again, nearly every commercial plane-crash goes with 100% loss of life, in a vehicle where you can not break or stop, if something important goes wrong you will crash and loose 300 life's.

But i think we all know that a plane crash or a train accident with 3 death's is much more Frontpage'able than toxic amount's of sugar in drinks, or pesticides, but that's a People and Press problem and not a technical one.

> [...The AI exhibited “superhuman aiming ability” during the simulation, Mock said...]

> [...Somewhere, the infamous Red Baron is no doubt laughing in amazement...]

The infamous Red Baron would likely ask what does AI pilot use for eyes?

In a classic dogfight, spotting your enemy before he sees you is an enormous advantage. Loosing the sight while in pursuit often equates to loosing the fight (thus going to sun or clouds for cover).

If AI was strapped into simulator's digital feed for exact positioning (basically as if manning a game's AI craft), then it had "God's eyes".

This kind of superadvantage may be warranted in a game to compensate for usually otherwise inferior in-game AI abilities.

However, when plugging a whole computer rack for AI, this sight-advantage would definitely create a biased environment (for the purposes of meaningful comparison).

I wonder how would the AI fare if it relied on CV for its positioning?
> we would have thrown away the model of the world which reasons in terms of oppressing and oppressed groups

The fundamental presupposition of Marxist theory is oppressing and oppressed groups. I don't for one second think this wave of culture is giving up the reasoning of oppressing and oppressed groups ever. The logic game is too easy to play and too easily totally and radically changes their worldview and gets people violently in the streets. Subtle and different forms of marxism are here to stay. It is also not a new logic, just better weaponized.

> Are there other reasons?

I think some systems don't have a stable kernel interface. The system-provided libc is that interface.

On Linux I believe that this is possible (and fairly common using the MUSL libc), but that glibc doesn't support static linking and many people want to use glibc for performance and compatibility reasons.
== But Uber is losing billions every year. Where is the money going to come from?==

Maybe it’s not a viable business model.
The article mentions outcomes based on duration of lasting immunity to the virus, in particular the "annual winter outbreaks" pattern holds if immunity lasts less than 40 weeks.

This should be something we can determine in the near future right? If the outbreak started in China in mid or late december, then early infectees of the virus should already be around week 35 or so.
I think the issue is going to be that the AI can pull G-forces higher than what a human can do and also never having to be re-trained.

This means a swarm of "cheap" craft that focus on deploy 20 to take anything out is going to be the optimal. And without the need for all those human systems (glass cockpit, AR consoles, ejection systems, seats, etc) we're good.

For non-combat operations they can be flown similarly to drones.
would be nice to see updated benchmarks against the C++ queues - this LMAX queue seems to give 20-25 million messages per second on sandy bridge - the best 1P/1C C++ queue is around 250 million messages per second on a 9900K and I doubt a 9900K is 10 times more performant than a 2600K.

What you're saying makes sense. Looking at some tables of it, it seems like if we imagine it in a naive population having a 50% higher reproduction number, it seems like it only bumps the herd immunity number by about 10% because it is such a high proportion already, if I'm understanding the charts right. It isn't clear if the numbers come together, but it does make me wonder if it could be close.
