The title of the article is "The Why and How of Privacy and Security." That should be the title on this HN post as well.
I didn't say the project was undertaken, but it was real enough for someone to come up with the idea, ballpark the cost of it, write up the proposal and have a bunch of presumably high-paid decision-makers read it in order to come to the conclusion that it's just a little bit too ridiculous. That's all on the tax dollar.

Of course, of all the egregious military research that has been undertaken, that one is just a whimsical side note. It could serve as a red herring even without any conspiracy theorist. I'd certainly sleep easier believing that the military is busy researching the gay bomb instead of the doomsday device.
Employers have the right to hire or not hire whomever they want barring discrimination against protected classes, based on whatever criteria they want to consider relevant. "Person who said a stupid thing on the internet" is not a protected class.

A Twitter mob doesn't have any objective power to prevent anyone from finding employment. They do, however, have free speech rights which include the right to communicate with someone's potential employer and argue that they should not be hired. If literally every employer decides not to hire someone based solely on what that mob says, then (notwithstanding how ridiculous that scenario would be in real life) that's possibly a labor rights issue more than a free speech issue.
I actually feel like Fossil could be adapted to do this fairly easily. It uses Sqlite (it's made by the author of sqlite) so it has the same downsides described in the article, but if you could solve those problems I think it does pretty much exactly what you and the author are describing.

The police have shown us that they don't act in good faith. But maybe if we decide to keep them around, these recommendations, along with better civilian oversight to ensure they're actually implemented, will mitigate the dangers of predictive policing.
Why does it use the Serverless framework AND the CDK?

As far as I know, they are both IaC frameworks.
I don't think you can.
Not sure about percentages, but it is definitely true that for any professional service, most people are just trying to make some money and go about their they without being bothered or caring too much. So you almost always have to deal with people that don't care about you or your situation and will just give you some template solution that fits their situation and their past experiences (not yours).

In particular it is very evident with doctors when they see you for barely a few minutes and diagnose you. Sure, if it's something super common you'll be fine, but if it's not, good luck trying to convince them to keep digging. They seem to think they are always right and you have no idea what you are talking about because you are not a doctor.
I don't really want to be like China so "but China did it" is not convincing in the slightest.

I've always hated these kinds of problems because I'm so terrible at them, yet they have a strange appeal to me - like a magic trick I can't figure out.

After clicking on a few of the solutions, I discovered that the even the solutions aren't very helpful for me. What would be cool is a video where two people talk through how to think about coming up with solutions, white boarding as necessary. Maybe these specific problems are too advanced to be explained in a way accessible to the math-challenged.

If anyone knows of a resource that starts with these kinds of relatable problems but then thinks different approaches through out loud, I'd love a link.
I wonder how long before special forces start using these to intercept aircraft, considering take off and landing are the crafts most vulnerable time in airspace? Do you think we will see someone attempting to plant a flag on Air Force One when it comes in to land at London Stansted? Hatfield forest is just over the A120 so not too far away with plenty of cover for escape and evasion.
I don't think so. Radio beacons are sending the same information constantly. And are well documented.

The numbers stations were sending seemingly random strings of numbers non-stop. They were a typical cold-war phenomenon shrouded in much mystery.
> You can absolutely reversibly compute conways game of life state, and you can compute it forward as well (after all, it is a game). That's prediction.

Notice I said irreducible, not irreversible. Yes, you can reverse the computation; but there's no known way to "shortcut" the forward process to predict the outcome of the series I mentioned any faster than simply letting it run. Letting it run is not prediction in the sense I mean here. By "predict" I mean foretell in advance what the system will do without needing to let it run.

> Simple rules can create a very complex emergent system, but that doesn't mean it cannot still be reduced to it's component rules. That's what makes them rules and not just guidelines.

I agree, with a minor caveat about language: you can describe a system which may display complex emergent behavior in terms of its underlying rules, but doing so is not guaranteed to give you useful information about (i.e., allow you to "predict", in the sense described above) the emergent behaviors. In contexts like these, to "reduce" typically means to describe in terms of a lower-level formalism while preserving predictive ability, AFAIK. In other words, the low-level formalism provides full information about the behavior of the entire system, such that you don't need to observe the system to know what it will do. In the Life example this is not the case.

Anyway, even if I did, it probably wouldn't make any difference.
But you need multiple strong passwords for (almost) every site. You need at least one to start, and when one of those sites inevitably leaks all of its passwords you'll have to change that one. Also 50% or more of the sites will have incompatible password content rules, so you'll have to work around that.

Password managers are a lot easier than trying to keep the state for a deterministic system. They're just as unbreakable with a good master password, and actually work with real-world site's rules around passwords.
> Can you point to straightforward apple instructions for doing so?

Take a look at how other apps do it, such as:

• MacDown https://macdown.uranusjr.com (also on GitHub)

Download → Right/Control-click → Open → Confirm

There are several such apps and open-source tools that are not notarized, some quite popular. Some of them provide those instructions next to their download links.
You don't need to be physically sat on the plane to emphasise with the severity of the situation. It's not like ATCs are willing pilots to die. And sometimes not being able to physically control the actions of the pilots can add to the stress.

There was a woman in East Berlin, who needed rescue. I can't remember if she worked with western intelligence, or if her husband did, but at any rate, she was in trouble. West Germany (or the Americans) decided to help her escape. At one point, she was given a pad. Told to turn her radio to a certain channel at a certain time of day. Write the numbers down and decode them with the pad.

Long story short, she and her son managed to get through one of the checkpoints into safety. Numbers stations were a key part of the plan because regular communications would have been impossible.

There's one example of how it was used. It's a little funny to me how the stations were quite mysterious to me, but they were just part of everyday life for others. A necessary chore.

Wish I had a link to the story. Heard it years ago. If this story rings a bell for anyone, and you have the link, I'd be forever grateful if you shared it. It stuck with me for not only being a good Cold War story, but also for the practical use of numbers stations.
I’m not sure I follow... you and Musk agree FSD isn’t here now, so of course drivers must keep full attention.

As to him making claims about the future, perhaps he believes it. In any case, there is a history of his companies doing “the impossible”; economical reuse of rockets was considered by many to be hot gas by him. Conmen don’t usually deliver to that level.
> The 2017 incident [found in hacked police documents] describes how someone under investigation was able to "covertly monitor law enforcement activity while law enforcement was on the premises" and alert his neighbour and landlord. It does not name the brand of video doorbell used.

> In the UK, Wiltshire police have set up a database of private smart doorbells and security cameras, and residents are being asked to register theirs.

Privacy is a double-edged sword, and that's a good thing. When those in power exempt themselves from a system, that's where transparency and oversight are most necessary.

> "not all sex is in person" is a statement that I am unsure most people I know would actually agree with

Have you heard of sexting?
The general idea was that we can orbit a fixed reference (In this case the earth) at a high relative speed. At high earth orbit (35km), orbiting the circumference (Simplifying assuming a perfect circle) would mean one orbit done per second would be 2/3c.

The time delta math (Sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)) puts us at 3 earth days per two space days.

The vacationing was more cheeky, in that in this case a 2 week vacation would appear 3 weeks on earth. If there would be some way to quickly switch between modes than 1 week, you would spend more self-referential time doing something than your home clock would count.

The protests are working. It doesn't matter if you hypothetically would be pissed off about being stuck in traffic because of one, they are demonstrably working. So they absolutely continue despite your objections. See:

https://news.gallup.com/poll/317321/believe-protest-actions-...

I think you should take a step back and really consider why you're arguing so vociferously over hypothetically being caught in traffic because of a protest when there are much larger issues at play here.
That's cool.

I remember seeing a story about that weird Soviet radio station with the huge towers. Can't remember it exactly, but it was supposed to be a nuclear "dead man's switch," or something like that.

Just because it’s not the USA doesn’t mean it will turn out rosy. It does a lot of harm when everybody assumes that “bad things won’t happen here, so in this case it’s fine”
That story is often told but is generally considered apocryphal. There is too much wrong with it procedurally. It's funny, but not likely a conversation that actually happened.
From what I've read, Apple will require notarization on Apple silicon. If that holds for both desktop apps and cli software, it would be neigh impossible to use a mac for development. So I imagine/hope they will have a way of handling OSS better.

That was probably the Duga radar at chernobyl. It was an over the horizon radar (which never worked properly). There were more in other places but the Chernobyl one is the only one left because of its location in the exclusion zone. Nothing as sinister as a dead man's switch, it was meant to provide early missile / bomber warning, but by the time it was operational it was already superseded by satellites. And it had many operational issues.

Do I take it from your post that you've never changed your position or accepted correction? Or is that only something you believe is true of everyone else?

Or is this something you're leveling at Facebook, I'd certainly not swallow their opinion on the truth of something; but assuming they were measured and fact based then I'd take it as indicative.
Eh, I'm not sure I agree.

I was contracted by The Government of Canada to help them with a recommendation engine that was built to help people. The problem? Some criminals had reverse engineered the algorithm and were using it for really, really horrible ends.

What would you have had me do? Not reverse engineer the criminal's reverse engineering? Did I help GC make a "predictive policing" app because they could now alert the RCMP to these bastards?

It's a balance. We need privacy, but we also need security. My take on it is that we should start with good faith and only surveil where it makes sense (embassies, airports, etc) unless there is some sort of signal (in the ML sense) of bad faith. From that point on it should go through the crown's lawyers (like it does in Canada), but ultimately we need to stop murderers, human traffickers, and other people that make the world worse.

I agree that some ML systems are weapons, but I don't think they all are. Some are benign. Some start off off as benign then get turned into dual use, like the one I worked on. But not all weapons are necessarily bad. We need a government that can actually protect us.

There is real evil in the world.
Poe's law in action?
That’s not going to happen. Propaganda requires that people not have those tools. Propaganda isn’t just CCP mouthpieces singing glory of the revolution, etc. but it’s also mundane things like Boys are expected to do this and Girls that. That recycling is unalloyed good and teachers are by their nature authoritative, etc.
no, there are many possible interpretations the court could have legitimately put forth, and interpreting law necessarily overlaps with "legislating" it. both are saying what's in and out of bounds.

Should I convince Bill Gates to talk to the Pope? Should I write an app to convince people how to live happy life? Should I get as much money as possible and help the world? Should I just write a blog in a spare time?
Just like traffic lights and road signs don't prevent accidents because some drivers ignore them.

Surely Odyssey keeps a record of who approved what. If you approve something, your name should be attached as having reviewed. Then you share some of the responsibility if the commit is bad.

>Also notice that what you described there contradicts what you said would happen ("getting rid of OpenZFS") in literally the same comment

My argument has been that Oracle can't do this the entire time, but that's why its unfair to say there is Oracle code in OpenZFS. It makes it sound like Oracle has some power over OpenZFS, which is just not the case.
As it turns out, you can't just make up laws just because someone did something unsafe for the purpose of punishing said person
Remdesivir is a prodrug that converts to GS-441524 in the body.

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsmedchemlett.0c00316

By most anecdotal accounts GS-441524 is better and possibly safer. And its readily available on the black market for treatment of cat FIP because apparently its much easier to make than Remdesivir.

So yes, probably the only reason Remdesivir exists is patents
All sorts of transportation are very fragile. Everyone with a driver's license is trusted with operating tons of steel that can move at enormous speeds.

Society's based on some amount of mutual trust. We can't lock everything down and treat every person as a potential criminal. That leads to an inefficient and dystopian country.
Generate Synthetic Data for Machine Learning by Counterfeiting Real Data
How does it handle many CPUs? In 2.2 it has a line for each CPU, as that number grows it will take over the screen.
I'm not sure if you're kidding. Of course police presence leads to escalation and more crime, and many places would be much safer without police.
If malware is going to ignore a variety of other things, do you honestly think they'd abide any licensing? I doubt they really care and will happily break that agreement and they're fine doing so until someone can take them to court to stop it (who's going to pay that fee? and I doubt finding the author of such malware is going to be particularly easy, never mind their country of operation may not even make any of this straight forward at all)
Plenty of things to improve, like having mandatory textbook that desconstructs common logical fallacies.

Simply let some time pass people will get better at detecting bs once they've encounter too many lies. Same way this generation is better than the previous one.
You reminded me of this old joke:
