Watson is just a marketing name for a bunch of out of the box ai solutions, nothing too fancy, just chat bots, CV, and nlp apis and such
it's not bad either tbh imo
Lol, you're a funny person
The embargo was put in place 60 years ago for a specific reason. I think it’s reasonable to reassess why it’s still there and what good it’s doing after the rest of the world has lifted their embargoes.
The most practical of the four attacks appears to be the message reordering in that it is something that actually could be done and might potentially mean something. The attacker would be unlikely to know the content of the encrypted messages in an instant messaging system to do some sort of meaningful attack. In the case where the messages were not waiting on a server for an offline client the attacker would have the difficulty of having to buffer the messages themselves in a way which would not break communications entirely. IM is fairly interactive end to end most of the time so message reordering is not much of a threat.
Maybe looks are deceiving, but officers and their vehicles sure look like they're having a whole lot more money spent on them than they were in, say, the 90s. They have more stuff, it all looks fairly new, and it all looks slicker, meaner, and more "apart" from normal folks, than it used to. I'm not talking about SWAT or armored cars or any of that stuff, either, but normal stuff that ordinary officers wear, carry, and drive.
[EDIT:] Some people might think prosecutors are better such "paragons" than defense attorneys. They should pray they never find out how wrong that is.
Strictly SOS was more theory than practice. I sounds really good on paper. In manufactured practice it has major problems.

Bulk CMOS was largely adopted in the late 1980s by DOD and used ever since. The ONLY source for SOS was RCA and they shortly after that shutdown their process lines. Mostly because the sapphire interface with the bulk similar caused even more physical and radiation problems that it solved. I was involved in the final RCA SOS parts proposed for military use (I was the contract validator/monitor) and they got their asses handed to them by a bulk CMOS proposal from a well known company. That was all she wrote on SOS.

Rule of Thumb: interfaces between materials are where all problems of quality and reliability start! Electrical noise comes from interfaces. Failure mechanisms in MOSFETs comes from interfaces. Physical failure comes from interfaces. So the more interfaces you insert into anything manufactured, the more problems it will have.

Hence "Bulk CMOS" ultimately became the standard for rad hard parts. Bulk CMOS is also what the most commercially economic CMOS is made from. So double win. There are things you have to do in the design and process to improve rad hardness but the baseline process should be as simple as possible.

One of those problems is the lattice constant difference between sapphire and silicon is too large and creates the one thing you never want with radiation: dangling bonds or capped but susceptible bonds that can be irradiated into being dangling. Those dangling bonds can be neutral or charged. When neutral they can become charged by normal currents.

The lattice mismatch also created physical problems where the sapphire could and would pop-off the silicon substrate during temperature excursions typically seen in space applications. Not good.
Ah, walmart. The cause of, and solution to type II diabetes.
Agreed. A multiple of the total compensation of the competitor is warranted.
That's their prerogative, isn't it?
> By default, all modern Android apps only trust CA system certificates, and on a normal device you cannot change those.

Sure you can. It's in a settings pane, Settings -> Security -> Encryption and Credentials -> Install a certificate.

MDM profiles can also install certificates.

There's pretty much zero possibility of this being removed as a feature as it is essential to a wide variety of corporate environments.
I'm not the parent poster but I think this question might be more interesting in 10 years when rust possibly has a larger industry foothold? I agree and I am actively trying to move my career from C++ towards Rust but its slow and Rust isn't particularly heavily used outside of crypto, which is something I am not interested in, from looking at openings for Rust over the past year. I do think it is great that larger companies like FB/Microsoft are now starting to invest in the language though.

My biggest issue with C++ is that although it does seem to be adding lots of good quality of life changes with the recent standards for developers it has inherit flaws that without breaking backwards compatibility it can never be as safe as Rust. And I think C++ is probably right to not break backwards compatibility, it has too large of a user base that will most likely splinter, it reminds me of the python 2/3 problems.
Why wouldn't they send out autonomous research/exploration vessels? At a sufficient tech stage it's trivial.
My favorite answer to Fermi's Paradox is a paper (which I do not have on hand) showing that it can be explained by the approximation error in doing a raw product of probabilities.

If, instead of doing a product of the probability of each event, you actually take the various distributions into account (nowadays you can easily test a wide variety of distributions with monte carlo methods) then, the probability of getting into contact with another life in the universe becomes vanishingly small.
But wouldn't the methods needed to obtain that information generally carry a high risk of prosecution for illegal acts? I dont even want to go into specific chat rooms or browse the dark web for fear of being swept up in some overzealous prosecutor's net. Even if your innocent it can cost thousands of dollars and years of your life to prove it.
We don't know how some of the Egyptian pyramids were constructed, or when, or how long it took.
Yeah. Quit for the sake of not doing any psychoactive substances (including caffeine) for a couple of months, but I've never been a regular smoker anyways.

I do this regularly to generally detox.
C++ is great, but requires a lot of work to get some things you get in Python for free, such as duck typing and monkey patching. These are really nice things to use in a web framework, which is why Python web frameworks seem to do so much more than C++ web frameworks (they do the same amount, but in C++ there's a lot more boilerplate to set up the framework).
What's "transferrable" is fungible. If you think you're only learning things specific to Watson, you're not looking at a big enough picture.

I spent nearly a decade at Microsoft on the Windows team. I was working in a private codebase with C++ frameworks that no one else in the industry had exposure to, using technologies like Win32 and kernel debugging that were either out of fashion or were internal technologies other companies didn't have access to. For a long time it was using proprietary source control, proprietary bug/project tracking - you get the idea.

When I switched companies, none of that mattered. Technology is boring and easy to teach. Career skills are important. I was learning to evaluate business needs and customer requests, to triage and plan issues, to design feature, to mentor and lead junior engineers, to think about things like accessibility and internationalization. These are the important things, and they all transfer.

I went on an interview loop, got several offers, and took one at a company working mostly in Java (which I hadn't used before joining that company) doing server-side backend work (which I hadn't done before joining that company). It didn't matter; I was up to speed on the basics in a couple of weeks, fully productive within a couple months, and a valued member of the team by my first performance review.
But if you pursue an evolution over millions of years, at some point we'll have to miniaturise. Imagine we can make fully conscious silicon - let's say in 200 000 years (6500 human generations). At this point, we'd be tempted little by little to raise them as our intellectual children and find less and less need to make them with sperm and vagina.

After a long while, there might be this great replacement, totally peaceful, that would lead these conscious organisms with a vastly superior intellectual efficiency to probably become very small and self centered and not behave like the territorial monkeys we are. What do you think a massively singular electronic intelligence will think when it notices a planet like ours ? "nuke them all and rape their women" ? This is monkey behavior that we still haven't fully shaken up.
Gross.

Here's a crazy idea of dubious ethical value:

The problem with Russian hackers is the law there doesn't give a damn, so they're untouchable.

Why not ignore the law then? Put a price on their heads and use the same Russian criminal elements to take them out. Do that a few times and the problem will magically vanish. Nobody will be willing to work for these gangs.

It also makes the Russian courts have to consider whether they'd rather handle this inside the law or deal with consequences of it happening outside the law.
I wouldn't doubt it. Russia had problems with soldiers posting photos online... while working in / around Ukraine.
You wrote "It's not cynical for a defense attorney to have the goal of "the people I represent never go to jail"

You are responding to something I never said. The attorney does not represent people watching the Youtube video. He isn't giving advise to clients but saying things to society at large.

I have a feeling you would not actually folllow the attorney's advise in the real world. If you saw someone being raped in front of your house would you call 911 or would you say "the Youtuber with a law degree told me not to. "

I suspect you would do the right thing and talk to the 911 operator. So why defend the video?
This is good because it will actually help people...

... but wow, just woooow. It's so incredibly depressing that I'm calling this "good." Sometimes the sheer insanity of the United States health care system overwhelms me. The fact insulin isn't a few dollars or free is beyond disheartening. It's like the system itself saying the Sackler's just didn't have enough imagination exploiting people, and destroying lives, for profit. "Oh? You don't need to get them addicted if they'll die without it... silly, Sacklers. #BusinessMASTER"

I keep hoping one day folks in the US will get tired of being screwed on their healthcare and living in fear of getting sick... shrug

Even then I don't think so. Not unless the novel implement is straight up IP theft in which case… there's no need for an NCC, IP theft is already a crime.
> They have to notice you're at the other company, then go through the trouble of suing you. For relatively low-level workers, I doubt it'd be worth the trouble.

IIRC, No, they just let the other company know about the non-compete, then suggest that once the new employer has that notice, continuing to employ you constitutes tortious interference for which the old employer might sue the new one. Then the new company decides whether you are worth a possible lawsuit. For relatively low-level workers, it's usually not worth the trouble — for the new employer.
Peter F. Hamilton's Salvation series [1] has a similar take, but also provides a possible out: don't live on planets or near stars. In Liu Cixin's books (which I loved btw, also SPOILERS), the level of technology involves weapons that can destroy solar systems. It seems reasonable that such civilizations could live between the stars.

I don't agree that Civilizations need to expand without limit. Even humans, having reached a certain level of comfort, have difficulty reproducing enough to maintain population levels. Conceivably then, civilizations will reach a comfortable size and then stop. Certainly they might be willing to stop when they reach a "boundary".

The problems with enemies is that, unless we are of sufficient size, we might bump into an enemy that is, say, twice our size, and therefore can thump us in a war. However, novels by Iain M. Banks [2] and Neal Asher [3] provide insight here (Culture vs Iridans, Polity vs Prador). The issue is not how many weapons you have (W), or even how many weapons you can make (dW/dt), but how fast you can make weapons factories (d2w/dt2) (etc). And ultimately, organics simply have absolutely no chance against AI: in both Culture and Polity, the AI runs the war for humans.

On the matter of technological breakout, the entire Lensman series has an underlying theme of the back-and-forth of new weapon vs it's mitigation [5]. Liu makes a good case that such back-and-forth is unrealistic: in the time it takes light to travel from the enemy's star to yours, they might go from poking each other with pointy sticks to fusion bombs, or from fusion bombs to star-killers. But there is a simple mitigation there too: don't hang around stars. Or rather, think of stars as Navies think of islands: nice place to refuel and R&R, but don't put all your ships in one harbor.

Ultimately, if survival is the goal, then Salvation or We are Bob [4] are the way to go: expand as much as possible. Just be willing to defer to existing civilizations.

The user identifies as a make (sic) in Tidworth with a history of “Tanks & AFV’s, CR2 Tank Commander, AFV Instr, D&M Instr, Gunnery Instr, Former ATDU”.

There are less than 250 Challenger 2 tanks. Combined with the rest of their professional experience, digital footprint, and copious words written, I imagine this person has sacrificed many bits of anonymity indeed.
Firstly, for anyone completely out of insulin, please know novonordisk offers a patient assistant program and will cover your insulin free of cost. I used this during college. If you can't even afford a doctor, there should be free health care clinics willing to sign those forms required. I used my college's clinic once to do so as well. The down side is signing away your personal health records.

As a type 1 diabetic myself, Walmart's offerings on R or Regular insulin saved me a few times. Once when I was simply out of insulin and did not have insurance. Then when I was caught in another city for work and ran out due to needing to extend my stay. I am slightly disappointed to see that one, the price is not the same as their human insulin which is around 25 dollars per vial I believe. Two, it will require a prescription. The times I bought their cheapest insulin, this was not required. However, I hope this is the right direction.
I'd love to hear from someone with diabetes if this version of insulin is comparable to the typical high-end modern insulins. I remember at one point Walmart had a $20 insulin, but there was something about it that made the dosing a royal pain compared to other insulins. Is this any better?
also making sure the testing is hermetic (not breaking prod) and all the components are actually reproducible.

It’s very surprising to me that 91 isn’t in the top 20. It’s beaten by 77 and 21?
What could go wrong.
This depends. You're drawing a very restricted form of noncompete, one which is that a noncompete is only valid if for example I walk away with, say information about customer priorities and take them to a competitor.

But there is a broader though still imo legitimate view that a company, paying a knowledge worker to solve a particular class of problems, has a right to the result of that work. An extreme example would be a company giving you a lab and research assistants, you working there a year and then parenting the results yourself and licensing them to a different company. It might not have required any insider info, and all the IP is ostensibly yours, but that feels abusive.

Granted we're overlapping into IP assignment and moonlighting clauses, but they're all closely related.

Sure but it’s also compatible with any generic usb c hub. I know I already have one that works with my Mac and switch that I’m sure would also work with this. Probably cost me all of $20 on Amazon.

I really would love it if people contemplated for a moment before posting horrible stuff acting like everyone with type 2 diabetes deserves it, or only has it because they buy food at Walmart. There are all sorts of factors that can contribute to diabetes and some people struggle with it for life. Do a little better.
For a long time I thought HN was free of the kinds of bad faith, intellectually dishonest interactions that you find in other popular forums. I was wrong, it's just a different crowd (one that isn't so clearly left or right). There is a vague "orthodoxy" and the downvotes will flow if you speak outside it. Recently, my account has apparently been flagged such that I'm only allowed to post a few comments per hour. I'm also suspecting that some users employ some kind of black list or tagging system to punish accounts that have demonstrated wrongthink. shrug It's still better than Ars Technica.

The belief is that detecting the attack in time to do anything makes defense more difficult. Your warning is limited by light speed, so detecting something moving .99c at 100 AU and you get just over 7 minutes to respond.

Worse, it doesn’t need to be some solid object. A loose field of debris 1,000 miles wide could sterilize a planet with enough mass and enough velocity.
But how do you pick that one element? Remember, a set does not distinguish between its elements. So if you're going to pick one, you need to introduce some method to do that. Do mathematicians consider "just pick an arbitrary element" sufficient?

If so, why can't you do that to fully order any set? Just pick an arbitrary element - that's the smallest one. Now take the original set minus that element, and repeat. Bingo, an ordering!

Maybe you can? Maybe it's only infinite sets where this doesn't work?

On a more basic level, how is the context of the conversation less relevant than the exact wording of any given uttered sentence? IMHO, if a judge hears "well he told me to lie so I did", the whole interrogation ought to be thrown out as ineligible.

I ran into a similar situation once: an officer wanted to hear a very specific thing from me, so he asked me a question, then interrupted me mid-sentence when he heard the substring he wanted (the full sentence was along the lines of "we were planning on doing X, but not for another 5 years", where the point of contention was whether they could prove whether I was planning on doing X immediately), never mind that I was explicitly explaining how his theory was all wrong.

Thankfully for me, this was with the Canada Border agency, which has an appeals process, and surely enough, when they read my side of the story, they overruled the officer in my favor.
But maybe war is a territorial animal's instinct and once we have shaken up a bit more of our animality, we'd understand this makes no sense ?

If we can control resource, exchange knowledge and techniques, and reproduce automatically (for instance if we become small electronic machines rather than the current inefficient chemical process we are), "war" might probably sounds both ridiculous and totally ineffective, both to cull us if we're abstract enough, and to cull potential enemies, probably just as impossible to reach "physically".
No way are we looking at the same pictures.

Amazing they have the gall to think they still can arbiter truth, considering how YouTube up until recently was banning the "conspiracy theory" that the recent pandemic may have originated from a Wuhan Lab... Something that now all the experts are saying may actually be true.
I know nothing about neuroscience and sounded like a recipe for failure, you obviously have to use true communications, like asking the test subject between food choices and actually bringing the food requested, so the next time they are asked about food choices they know is a real interaction and have to make a real decision, the same for everything else that is tested, meaning make it as real as physically possible.
It seems to me that there is a huge difference between "a set X must have an element y" and "given a set X, you can get an element y".

If set theorists do not make that distinction, then that is the answer to my question!
