Title is sensationalist, while the news really ain't a big deal IHMO. Adversarial attacks against Neural Networks, or any other heuristics for that matter, are widely recognized in the industry.

Frameworks/papers aiming at benchmarking and fine tuning networks against those attacks even exist (e.g. github.com/QData/TextAttack in the case of NLP).

The tools will simply be adapted. Either to a/ identify the statistical anomalies/artifacts introduced by the manipulation process, or b/ ignore the manipulation through further training or further data normalization.
I agree with your level of alarm in principle. I'm curious whether the "several redundancies" are generally sufficient, and pervasive across plants.

"mine state" -Bitcoin miners are hunting complex bit patterns from functions, by exhaustive search in a GPU or CPU farm. They are converting time and electricity into unique solutions to a problem, which then provides a mechanism to seal the chain in cryptographic signature. The "state" they create is the block they "mine".

The point at hand, is that PoW incurs energy costs which drive to cheapest which is to ignore externalities and burn brown coal in china. the problem is the ignored externalities: the CO2 pollution.

You're arguing "its the same" about the end outcome of the chain as a thing in itself. The point of my comment and I believe the article, is that PoW incurs a huge energy cost which is pointless: its make-work. It does not relate to the value of the chain.

I ask if PoS is "the same" IN THIS REGARD. Not in terms of what the end outcome as a chain is: if the energy inputs to achieve PoS are the same as PoW.
tbh I think the whole point being user management as a service won't last long. eventually Firebase, Auth0 or Okta will implement this and there won't be any competitive advantage anymore.
I am actually in the great social paradise of European Union. It's not as good here as the EU shills make it out to be, unfortunately; I'd love to be in the USA. My court was automatical and behind my back without any notice, and there wasn't anything I could do after they forced my bank account into negative balance equivalent to median yearly wage. Not sure what the US equivalent of this would be, this is how the EU deals with debts; they will go to whatever they label as your home and take the stuff there if the bank account is too empty, regardless of whose stuff is it - no real way to appeal after it's done. My bank account fortunately paid for half of the debt so they didn't immediately go steal stuff from my parents.
Looks to me like an outdated idea, at least on the concept level :) . Had similar thoughts around 2002, the closest thing to it was Ousterhout's RAMCloud. Today an approach would be to look at merging CPU and RAM.

I think curved is worth it on the bigger ultrawides. It feels a lot more natural.

I also like how nice an ultrawide is compared to 2 separate monitors.
Or it could be a state actor from another country who executed a well planned attack.
File transfers are a standard part of the feature set. AirDrop is on every Apple device. Android has something similar "Share Nearby" or something.

I believe both work offline.
I don't. I think BTC means my money won't turn over night without any notice into negative balance equivalent to median yearly wage. Nothing wrong about paying taxes and fees if there's enough money for the most basic necessities.

Whenever we talk about alien life, we should always, absolutely always limit our discussion to the Milky Way. Any alien life outside of the Milky Way will remain completely irrelevant for us for any timespan that has any meaning for us as humans. Just hearing "You had me at Hello" back from the Andromeda galaxy would take 5 million years. 5 million years ago humans and chimps were still not distinct species.
Bitcoin is presently estimated to consume ~10GW of power[1]. Transaction rate has climbed to & stabilized ~4 transactions/second[2] (it peaked for a day above 5 tps during the frenzy 3 years ago). Running 10GW for 1/4 a second comes to 695 kWh. One could drive a Tesla up and a good part of the way down either American coast with this much energy.

"Negligible energy" to produce a transaction is not correct. Miners are willing to sell transactions that cost enormous heaps of money to mint because the coin itself "has value".

Must be, since algolia shows me questions from 8 days ago that sound familiar.
Vanguard has some nice funds for this for people who just want to invest and forget about it until retirement.

They have one targeting people retiring in 2065 (born 1998-2002), one for 2060 (born 1993-1997), and so on down to one for people who retired in 2015 (born 1949-1952), and one for people who were born before 1949.

Each of these invests in other Vanguard funds. As it gets closer to their target year, they decrease their stock fund holdings and increase their bond fund holdings.

The 2055 one, which would be the one aimed at someone who is currently 30, is 90% stock, 9% bonds. The stock fund portion is split about 60/40 between a Vanguard total US stock market fund and a Vanguard total international stock market fund.
The one trial I sat in on, it was the public defender who hired the expert.

Even if it were an easily changeable characteristic, we should consider it wrong for any society to threaten harm or punishment or ostracization for this. That the characteristic is or isn’t easily changed is not relevant.

It’s not a question of moral relativism. You’d have to argue that any behavior is a crime in order for it to be legitimate for perpetrators to suffer consequences. Otherwise, it is wrong that someone should suffer consequences, all else equal.

I like nachos. Tomorrow I might not like nachos. It is wrong in any society if my liking or disliking of nachos results in me being killed, bullied, shamed, etc. Any society that claims a right of legitimacy to impose social norms in this way on the liking or disliking of nachos is a morally wrong society. There’s no debate about this. You can either argue convincingly that nacho preference is a crime, or else any attempt to treat it like a crime is wrong.
So why not just have a trusted centralized authority(ies), arguably democratically elected who control the system(s), and where there isn't a transfer of wealth weighted from late adopters towards earlier adopters?
So there's an underlying problem here, which is that at our current rate of indictments, our court systems cannot support everyone going to trial. One of the reasons people in charge of funding want to starve the public defenders is that if they're actually good, people will be less willing to just plea out to a lower charge. So the growth will be non-linear as their success rate increases due to the funding, which they now need more of to service the extra cases they get from being good.

One idea is that whoever introduces an expert witness must also pay for the other side's expert witness, up to the cost of your expert. The defense doesn't need to prove anything due to the presumption of innocence, so the defense gets free counter-experts and only have to pay for the counter-expert if they want to bring up an expert about something the prosecution doesn't want to talk about.
You shouldn't make your users choose between MAU supported and features.

Here's how I would do the price tiers, since you asked:

* STARTER - Free up to 5,000 MAU, features as listed.

* STARTER PLUS - Add a credit card and just pay $29 plus $0.05 for each additional MAU over the first 5,000. Same features as listed for STARTER.

In this approach, MAU 0 - 5,000 is free, and MAU 5,001 is $29.05. In the Starter plus tier, 6000 MAU is $29 + $50 = $79 and 10,000 MAU is $29 + $250 = $279

* For the PRO tier, the jump is pretty dramatic between $29 and $249 for the same # of users, so I suggest a 2x rather than a 8x premium. This means that you should price pro at $49 plus $0.02 for all users. This makes 5001 users $49 + $100 = $149

In this arrangement you don't even need to have a 5000 starter cliff for Pro. You can start with pro at even 500 users if you wanted the MFA features and the cost would be just $49 + $10 = $59.

Just my 2 cents.
Yes there should be teams comprised of people whose expertise is in biology (specifically whatever field is responsible for DNA matching) and other people who are programmers that review the code and make sure there’s no mistakes. That would do it and I’m surprised this isn’t already a thing.

The person's guilt must be proven beyond all reasonable doubt. If you are accusing him there is a range of possible proof. If all you have is based on an unreadable codebase, that takes 100 years to read, that's your (the prosecution's) fuckup. As a jury I would not convict.

I don't want prosecutors sleeping on the job, bringing in fraudsters laymen and psychics to accuse people, etc.

The prosecutor should use a company that can present independent proof that their system actually works.
ah, I see the problem now. You should open with that line in all your exchanges, you'd get fewer people trying to explain to you how you're wrong.
Outstanding reportage from the front lines of geoengineering
So, first, congrats on launching your product. :) Personally, I don't have a need for it, and if I did, I'd be very reluctant to use a proprietary service, but I'm sure there are companies out there who will be happy to use you. Good luck!

------------

That said, maybe the HN community can answer something I've wondered about... Why isn't there an Open Source, standardized, self-hosted, version of this kind of service? Or, why hasn't one, or two, options emerged that everyone uses and I would have heard of by now?

User management, authentication, and authorization, are all problems that have been solved in many apps, and there are plenty of best practices. So, just like you shouldn't roll your own hashing algorithm, I'd think we'd want to do the same with this. It would make sense for one of the open source companies or organizations like Canonical, RedHat, Apache or Mozilla to have at least tried to do this.

The closest I can think of to an attempt is Persona...

Anyway, just been wondering about this for a while, and thought I'd take the opportunity to ask.
I pick the Milky Way since it's likely no human has ever seen it.
A group of people getting sex changes is arguably destructive if it's just due to a whim. Look at the suicide rates. In the real world where it's not a choice, I'd look to blame bigots for a lot of those suicide rates. In the world where it is completely a choice, I'd look to blame people who encouraged them along that path as the proximate cause.

That's a pretty gross perspective to write out, and I don't really want to write such things anymore, so I'll likely stop. But there's a perspective, and from what I casually observe, is a genuine concern among some more conservative leaning folks. People are concerned that young people are being pushed into harmful surgeries. To some dumb extent, they have a point if trans feelings are "just a choice". They have no point in reality, because it's not a choice.
Don’t forget that we can put a lower bound on the size of the actual (ie, not just the observable) universe and it’s many times greater in size. It could even be infinite, but at the very least it’s larger than we can see.

That is part of the reason for this question, possible IP conflicts. Ideally, I'd like to work independently on independent stuff from work, but sometimes fear becoming a bystander to the technical progress in the desired area (which happens to be progressing at breakneck speed as well. Also, some languages (C++) that lend themselves more towards real-time/production applications, are not used in my current role, so there is knowledge decay if I stay in my role and slip on my own projects, which happens more often when work stress increases, or there are other commitments.
>> And most of the cases I'm aware of where they've used that power is to suppress viral lies, which is a good thing. Even then they were late pulling the trigger.

> Why on earth would you suspect that the handful of incidents that they advertise are a remotely representative sample? Of course the highest profile censorship is going to be agreeable, but we have no idea what lurks below the surface because we have no transparency.

I'm not so concerned about that, because it's far from the most pressing issue. My impression is that the people who typically complain bitterly about Twitter's "censorship" are complaining about the stuff you call "agreeable censorship" (e.g. driving out Bugaloo Bois, QAnon, COVID misinformation, "stop the steal" cranks, etc.). For instance: the exodus from Twitter to Parler wasn't triggered so much by account closures/tweet deletions, but rather the labeling of election misinformation tweets.

> Or we kill Twitter. :) I say this half in-jest, but some people who are positively terrified about the collapse of democracy seem to take it as an article of faith that Twitter deserves to exist. I think there's some happy medium but if we fail to find it dispatching Twitter seems better than where we're heading.

I agree with this. Social media may be a technology that society should chose to abandon, Amish-style.
Yeah it would increase the conditionality or contextuality of any given observation because even if the genomes were identical, you have differing levels of gene expression based on environmental stimuli.

So observing that gene X impacts biochemical pathway in some way Y is already really difficult when there are tons of other genes at play. Add on the fact that these genes could be triggered to stop expressing themselves in certain conditions and it makes the whole process of figuring out what is really going on that much more difficult. Even if we can make some observation, there are tons of contextual situations which would potentially invalidate that observation.
You reacting to something is not the same as reacting + seeing the rendered frame.

There's an entire chain of things that contribute to latency, and network latency is only one part of that chain.

From what I've experienced on a pretty normal, non-optimized wifi connection (meaning I just plugged a cheap TP Link router in and did nothing to its default settings), I don't notice the latency that Stadia contributes making any difference compared to whatever amount of latency I get on my capable PC.

That's not to say network latency doesn't matter. It matters a lot to pro CS:GO players, for example, (who have reaction times in the 130-300ms range, for what it's worth). Those players are will to pay for high poll rate mice to shave off a few milliseconds from input latency, or build $5k+ machines stuff with insanely fast CPUs and GPUs, with $2k+ monitors with 1ms latency.

But Stadia isn't for that kind of game play.

Like I said in another comment, the talk around streaming games is almost identical to people who scoffed at services like Netflix when they first started streaming. You had Laserdisc nerds freaking out about how the streaming would produce compression artifacts, and people like Mark Cuban saying that people were crazy to think streaming video was the way to go, (all while pitching his HD satellite service).

Having used Stadia as a "normal" person might, I'm certain that in the not too distant future, streaming based gaming services will be as mainstream as Netflix is today. Despite whatever compromises it has to make.
I am so glad to see this is the top comment. Hacks on public infrastructure feel to me like one very small step away from actual military actions. I don’t understand why they never seem to be reported with the gravity they deserve.
VPNs are also used pretty successfully here. Several large companies also don't let you directly connect to anything. You vpn in and connect to a machine with Citrix and then you can use whatever was setup for your there. Usually whatever version of Logix/Studio 5000 the plant is on.

I support an environment almost exactly like this (albeit in a small manufacturing company). I don't love having one of the controls networks attached, in any way, to the LAN, but I understand the business requirements justify it.

It happens that there's a controls system running devices that could cause massive environmental impact in some malfunction scenarios. I am happy to report the plant, being held to account for things like public evacuation plans and hazmat filings with local first responders, has never asked about connecting that network to anything. That would be a walk-out-the-door type scenario for me. I worry that they'd just find somebody who wouldn't have those scruples, though.
Don't most of those points apply to all of the companies involved? Not defending Huawei here, but basically every tech giant has a bad track record regarding these topics.

In general it's a very traditional tech worker dilemma: Do I want to get a good salary working on interesting problems that is mostly of interests of big tech companies that make their money via arguably shady means, or do I want to earn an average salary working on boring problems and be 100% sure I have a clean conscience.

I'm guessing the approach is to have a quasi-parasitic relationship with the sponsors: You personally stay as little involved with the "bad parts" of the company and try to push the "good parts" forward while also pushing the open source tech forward (hopefully for the good of all humanity). That's how I have seen the relationship between Rust and Github (= Microsoft) play out so far too: Rust is very deeply relying on Github for pretty much everything while a good chunk of the individual team members critizize their involvement with ICE at every opportunity.
As a matter of user experience, rather than implementation, the 'filesystem' in iOS is just an app. It's one way to handle data sharing and transfer between apps, but it isn't always the best, nor is it the main one.

This has some tradeoffs, everything does, but I'm glad someone is exploring the OS space without considering filesystems as we currently understand them to be an inevitable part of that.

I can imagine an object capabilities framework, in which a 'filesystem' is just an object which owns data, organizes it in the familiar way, and shares capabilities with other objects, being quite useful and powerful.
You previously just asked why they would want to take these actions. And I told you why.

It is because none of this has anything to do with creditors making good faith attempts to get paid back.

What this whole thing is about, is about an attempt by the new york AG, to dissolve the organization, and is not a good faith attempt to make creditors whole.

The whole point of all this stuff, is to sidestep back faith attempts at dissolution, and instead go through the normal process for handling fines/fraud/ect.

The dissolution is what is going to be evaded.

> I can’t ping my router and get consistent latency that low.

OT, but I'm curious, what kind of router do you have? That seems really bad. I tested this on my laptop (over WiFi, in a very heavy traffic apartment building) and see the following:

50 packets transmitted, 50 received, 0% packet loss, time 49115ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.751/1.436/5.000/0.812 ms

I don't say that to brag, I really think that's definitely expected for any LAN device.
