What I miss most,in discussions about AI, is the motivation factor,which is the driving force behind every single thing we humans do. How can we create a system that would be motivated to evolve in order to better itself. Humans created all sorts of things because fear,hunger,or pleasure was so strong and it couldn't be pushed away. What will happen to an AI powered robot that one day decide that going into radioactive areas isn't quite what it wants and will say 'screw it'?

Note also that fake phishing emails is not the only way to train people against phishing. Arguable traditional training (i.e. explain and show the trainee examples in a setting where the trainee knows this is a demo) is both a better way to teach about the risk and protection, and is less harmful.

I used to work as a life guard and we would conduct training scenario every month at least. And we would never do live training (i.e. training scenario without knowing it is training). There are several reasons, first is safety. You would be putting workers in an unessisary risk. Second is stress, and third is that there is little evidence that we would walk away from the training having learned anything.

So if you believe phishing is a serious threat to your security, that is still no excuse to deliver fake phishing emails to your workers.
Can you point out a specific comment that "shits on sam"?
The project started out as a movie and so it is no surprise it had a great start and end but got a little lost in the middle when the idea needed to be stretched out.
Yeah right, so I've been having mixed feelings recently. I'm considering dropping out of my program to get a data science type job in industry or I'm wondering if this just means I'm with the wrong person.

To bring things back to the original question, I think this whole experience has made me skeptical of people who optimize their life around income (past a certain point). At the same time I think chasing a higher income is probably an addictive to some degree, so I understand how people can fall into that and I think it might change people (my girlfriend obviously was not like this when we met).

My takeaway as a low-income person, is that I think high-income people will always dismiss me if I make these types of statements. "Of course he thinks this way, he's just a poor a student!". It's this kind of tautology that makes it impossible to deny being an alcoholic, etc. As far as I'm concerned, from my current position, it is impossible to persuade anyone that is dismissive about low-income people to think otherwise.

Irish americans make up more than 10% of the population. Irish americans are why ireland is free. Irish american money, political power and irish american volunteers were instrumental in winning the war for independence. There are nearly 35 million irish americans.

There are multiple display problems in 11.1. As soon as I installed 11.1 on my M1 Mini that is connected to my TV's receiver, I could no longer get a stable connection to it via screen sharing unless I unplugged the HDMI from the Mini. The resolution constantly flipped back and forth, and eventually threw an authentication error. I had no such problems on 11.0.
Neither should you assume that fake phishing emails teach workers any better then traditional training.
Completely agree. The Harry Houdini example is actually illuminating I think: what if he had stood as Harry Houdini - would it be reasonable to stand on that persona rather than his real one? I think not.

Another point on Johnson is that he deliberately conflates his personal life with politics when it suits him (pictures of his new born son on the front pages of papers) whilst using the courts to obscure others (his possible fatherhood of another child).

On use of his name it's the man himself who makes the ruthless political decisions and not the stage persona which is is much more 'warm and cuddly'.

I meant to assume 5ms CPU time: 12 input + 5 processing + 15 output = 32. Add 5 for network round-trip to get 37.

5 ms network round-trip or less is common in offices or homes with fiber. Here's ICMP ping 1.1.1.1 from my office just now:

High-latency displays makes network latency less noticeable relative to a conventional console game (but more noticeable relative to a PC game on a fast-updating screen).

Maradona was always see as the star of the teams where he played, even when he was young. Plus he came from a poblacion, those ghettos in Argentina where people live with next to nothing.
Messi on the other side came from a middle class family, and had his dream of being a professional player broke as a young kid by Newells due to his height problems.

The two has different histories, and should not be compared I think., except on the football side.
Can't speak directly to this, but just to add to the sentiment here - no breach was ever prevented through the application of pen to paper in the shape of a check mark.

If an organisation has the money to spend on doing ISO or something else, it should put the money towards someone who actually has some good skills and knowledge in security and can advise them.

An organisation that recognises the business value in being secure (less risk of fines, reputational damage, more ability to win work with lucrative large organizations) is already in a good place as they've crossed the first hurdle!

The issue with certificates like ISO (and indeed any other kind of kitemark for security) in my view is that it presents the opinion of one (probably inexperienced and cheap) junior person as to whether what you presented them with on the day sounded to comply with a rule. No focus on whether the mitigation is effective. No focus on whether it's relevant or appropriate. No focus on whether it's adequate, or how it sits in relation to the capabilities of a motivated adversary.

A decent understanding of your threat model, your exposure, and how you plan to invest to improve would be far more valuable. Second to this is to then avoid buying snake-oil vendor security products that aren't effective - many of the big organisations breached through solarwinds offer incredibly expensive "AI"-based cyber tools as those are in vogue. Yet all were compromised by a silly supply chain breach from some proprietary DLL a third party vendor was shipping into organisations, which was blindly trusted.

Getting a basic understanding of the old fashioned principles of security and having someone help you take technical measures will be a load more effective than producing paperwork to keep a junior auditor happy.
All over this thread you seem to mention potential trade benefits for the UK based on being separate from the EU. Can you name some benefits (perhaps let's say 3) that you expect will be negotiated more favourably for the UK within a year that the UK was unable to get as part of the EU.

Also ... being part of a a trade bloc always has benefits and positives, but the two key negatives touted as 'deal-breakers' in the Brexit negotiations have been related to (1) sovereignty and (2) concessions. A few weeks ago Peter Verovšek wrote a short but pretty good article on effectively the illusion of sovereignty (https://www.socialeurope.eu/brexit-and-the-misunderstanding-...) for the UK, and in terms of concessions it seems that a small nation with limited resources hardly makes a net loss by being part of a larger trade bloc: access to a huge market while exposing a small market of your own.

Ranting on my own comment. There is a clearly biased point of view that "SaaS is the only model of software development that is profitable and valuable". Just stop it. There are valid use cases for SaaS. But if applied in general SaaS is not long term value for customer.
The "old" model of software production is superior because of long release cycle, less bugs and incremental change with respect for established UX.

No, it's just not that simple. It's not a question of what readers are capable of. It's multiple universal standards that would have to change, and for what? Packaging has a bad enough time with UPS codes getting distorted to the point of being unreadable, and that would be even worse with 2D codes. Furthermore, 2D codes take longer to decode.

1D scanners are able to scan the entire surface of an object to find the codes quickly, or even two surfaces at the same time. Think cashiers again, quickly plowing through a cartload of merchandise. They don't have to aim to do that. They just have to know what side the barcode is on. It's a non-trivial engineering issue to make 2D as efficient to scan as 1D.

There is absolutely no reason to move to 2D codes for the majority of existing 2D applications.

Same here. Might have something to do with age, as popular deskop/external monitor sizes these days just seem _enormous_ to me -- back in the day a 21" monitor was considered large (24" and 27" seem very common today). You almost have to turn your head back and forth just to see the entire screen!

I’m always surprised by this. Their sealed machines have heat throttling issues, graphics card failures, they’re not repairable (iMacs are THE WORST for this), keyboard issues, and that’s all ahead of the Intel chipset issues.

The issue is that intelligence by itself provides to motivations or objectives. Intelligence is simply a tool to be used in order to get things done. In humans the objectives are provided by instincts, emotions and biological needs.

In AI we will have to provide the goals, but as the paper clip maximiser thought experiment shows, we’re going to have to be very careful and thoughtful about it.

Macron has been taking a harder stance than Merkel for a while so it seems more likely that this is a response to the UK threatening to guard it's waters with Naval ships.

It was certainly an interestingly timed move in any case and a sharp reminder that "taking back control" of the borders goes both ways.

The Yugoslav wars in the 90s lasted a decade and had more than 100,000 casualties. War crimes like genoside and ethnic cleansing were committed.

The news stories about civilians - including children - being shot from afar when trying to cross "Sniper Alley" in Sarajevo made a particularly big impression on me.

In my book this was not a small conflict but a bloody and grim civil war.
I got some serious deja vu reading that source code by the way. 24 years ago, as my senior year project I decided I would try to build a DOS-like OS that could boot from a floppy. I didn't get very far beyond a rudimentary CLI, some fun builtin commands and the beginnings of a FAT-like file system...

"hey, I made something that could boot from a 1981 PC, from scratch, and I understood it all the way.".

That's a pretty nice feeling - I think you probably felt the same way?

What i have seen in the field was a frenzy of doing ML. What happened was that first of all companies needed to understand what ML was. Then understand the tools available. Once you start exploring the tools you will find that at every stage of a ML pipeline there is 2 or more different ways of doing things. S3/GCS, BigQuery, Spark, Beam, TensorFlow, Pytorch, Google, Azure, Amazon, notebooks, Jupyter, JupyterHub..KubeFlow, TFX...etc. okay you pick the tools needed, then you need to put them together...and hire people...that's challenging. I believe we need to wait for AutoML pipelines from data análisis to.prediction to start seeing really advancement in production systems.

Because before the EU can sign off on a trade agreement, it needs to be unanimously accepted by every member state, which takes an absolute ton of time. The CETA deal with Canada was held up solely by a region of Belgium at one point.

I'd probably be classed as a hunt and peck typist, but I've never had issues with typing speed or accuracy. So I don't think it has affected my productivity at all.

Of course I don't know what would have happened if I'd started with touch typing. Although in fact I tried to learn touch typing with Mavis Beacon not long after it appeared, but it cramped my fingers almost instantly, so I stopped.

As for typing in general - depending how old your kids are, I'd consider the possibility that by the time they reach college age typing will be as much use to them as handwriting is to current students. I.e. some value, but not as important as other skills.

I'd be very surprised if we don't have conversational interfaces with human-level comprehension within twenty years - possibly ten at a push.

You might think code will always be typed, but I honestly wouldn't be sure about that.

Well, that's not going to happen unless the EU adopts a single official single language not just in terms of bureaucracy but when it comes to everyday business (hint: that language is neither going to be French nor German)

The language differential is by far the most eminent obstacle standing in the way of a closer integration or even nationhood.

Ironically, the UK leaving might've opened up an opportunity here since that hypothetical official language now indeed could be English, with no dominant country having that language as its own official language anymore.

Rolling Homes That Make an R.V. Look Palatial
I've seen many hunt and peckers (mostly older adults 55+ who never had a reason to type daily [computers, typewriters, etc.] and younger people <18 [cellphones]). For older adults it makes sense they use the hunt and peck method because they have little reason to learn touch typing (they got this far without it and if they only need to interact for a few minutes with a keyboard here and there that's okay). However, for younger people their world is different. They do most of their typing on tablets/phones where two finger pressing via the hunt and peck method is easier/reliable (try and type up something on a tablet screen using the touch typing method and see how often you'll make a mistake). So, your opinion of learning touch typing applies mainly to solid keyboards used for extended periods of time while hunt/peck skills serve them better with touch screens. My wife is a hunt/peck user and while her speed isn't the best she seems to have decent speed when she has hunt/peck-ed the same key multiple times (aka warmed up). So, with all that said, hunt/peckers in my opinion only type best when they are warmed up and usually tend to only have limited amount of things to type into the machine.
