In your example, who cares if the university has a centralized master record of the degrees they choose to recognize? If they choose to tell everyone on earth that the degree they gave me was baloney or false or was revoked, that's their prerogative. If they choose to record coin
NFTs and the blockchain aren't meant to prevent that.

What NFTs guarantee is that the degree the school gave me is still mine. Without NFTs, they could not only revoke my degree, but also delete it from their database and leave me with no proof I graduated from there whatsoever, since I never really owned the degree as property. But with NFTs, no matter what they change or delete in their centralized database, my degree still exists as my property in my decentralized NFT wallet, and the school can't delete or take that back. Which is how property should work! In the real world, if my alma mater were to revoke my degree, they'd update their databases, but they wouldn't also come to my house, find my paper degree, and rip it up.

Now this is obviously a contrived example, because the entire point of a degree is to say, "Look! <AuthorityX> thinks highly of me!" So of course if the authority changes their mind about that, then your degree is worthless whether you still own it or not.

In a less contrived example, there might be property you own that's valuable regardless of the original owner's opinion of you or any records they keep in their database. For example, if you get a magical sword in World of WarCraft in NFT form, you now own that, and you can use it in other games that choose to recognize and represent that NFT. Even if you get in a fight with Blizzard's CEO, and he orders his minions to delete your account from their servers, you'll still have the NFT, and other games will still respect it.

Whereas in a world without NFTs, the only way for other games to even know you had the sword would be to query Blizzard's servers, so you would be fucked in this scenario, because Blizzard would delete all records, because they owned the records, not you.
>Engineers aren’t allowed “one small fuckup” when building bridges and buildings. Doctors aren’t allowed “one small fuckup” in the OR

These are really poor analogies. A better analogy would be engineers who then had to protect those bridges from attack via a number of different modes, including drone and cruise missle strikes; and seemingly legitimate travelers on the bridge who are actually malicious.

Likewise, a better analogy would be doctors who had to contend with nurses who are bad actors, substituting saline for needed drugs or deliberately administering higher than prescribed dosages, etc.
I don't think they stopped development of that tech just because some people left.

They clearly invested massively in engine development from then on. I don't think they simply stopped.

And Raptor has turned into the best engine ever since then. Likely the used lots of simulation in development.
Can confirm it's the same on 11 as well, "No, sign in to this app only" is the trick https://i.imgur.com/hm8tR9k.png. If you're using a personal account for the sign in I don't think the checkbox towards the top is there but otherwise the window is the same.

As is right now I have a local unlinked windows account, a work account signed into Office, and a personal account signed into the store.
Forgive me for not thinking that some unflattering books are a suitable consequence for the "negative impacts" that Kissinger has had on millions of people across the globe
Agreed.

The main claim being made is that “since AI is a logic system, and living humans are complex systems, AI cannot replicate human intelligence”.

That claim rests on some unfounded, and implicit, assumptions. In particular, the author assumes that neural networks are not complex systems (and as an even deeper, implicit assumption, that no complex neural network could ever exist).
Ditto. Good pentesters have arguably more skills than myself since I just do business apps, but I made about $40k less as a pentester than what I do now. Plus the pentesting interviews are just as annoying as the development interviews.
> The problem is that companies don’t want to invest the time in good security because it’s less profitable. Or, they are old and decrepit. If the company runs critical infrastructure, then peoples’ safety is at risk.

Most of the time, it's that a non-technical decision maker decides to take a badly mis-calculated risk. "Bob in sales can't access the files he needs." "IT give him admin rights! Now! no... I don't even understand or care to understand that access control mumbo-jumbo you are talking about." A week later, "Hey, you know we just got bitlockered. Bob's laptop got virused, and because we gave him admin rights his machine encrypted all the things AND the backup server too."
What backup strategy do you need for ransom ware? I assume you need incremental backups so your newer corrupted files don’t overwrite your older working files?
Because this is the HN crowd, I cannot tell if you're serious ("not only do I not support war criminals, I don't support animal murderers") or being snarky. If you're serious, you should also stop using software written by meat eaters, that way none of us sane folks have to read your comments.

Well, if I remember, then there was an article about that some bacteria that was present in brains was also present in gut.

The very quick stupid idea was that bacteria from guts was invading brains, but there might be other explanations to that - bacterias are also living outside gut and if some of them somehow are finding a way into the brains, that does not mean that they came directly from guts. Might be - might be not and brains might have other canals that allows bacteria to enter and once they are in brains, they might be able to get control over things and condition brains in favouring specific gut bacteria, by requesting - craving specific food. So, I don't see that this research has nullified those ideas about bacterias affecting brains and helping their species of bacterias without knowing about them. But what this article is proposing is not illogical - not getting into demands of zombified controlled brains hold hostage of bacterias, or actually - developing healthy dietary habbits, by favouring diversity of gut bacterias in first place.
The 'quit to DOS' option was not enough: it kept some windows bits until running, maybe in TSR mode. To use loadlin, you had to reboot and press f8 during boot and then choose to run DOS.

"Whatever is in my power" can mean lots of things.

If you were short by $1M, you could probably convince someone to loan you that amount quite easily.

The GP already mentioned colluding - you could for eg, merge funds with another potential bidder (or donor) to "just cross the amount" in exchange for something (say a yearly showing of the constitution at a museum of their choice)

Knowing your opponents maximum amount makes your riskier bets (loaning money, striking deals) much less risky - atleast in a two-way auction(?)
> That’s what this article is about: Say what you will about serverless, it’s failed to live up to its promise and hasn’t proved to be particularly lucrative for anybody

Hard disagree. If you define lucrative as having a successful business model around serverless tooling/architecture or if your business is simply powered with severless services. Lots of folks have been had lucrative success without question.

Not only that, serverless has allowed full-stack web dev to flourish, so Id argue it’s helped some individuals build lucrative careers as well.
Google has been far more trustworthy. Is there any evidence they do anything with your data except match it to ads via algorithm?

I've had Hotmail accounts hacked back in the day, never happened with Gmail. MS is insidious in trying to keep squeezing more from you and automatically adding your account to everything. Google just gives me useful stuff, and even takes away all ads on the products I've paid for. With MS there's still ads in paid products.

It's relevant now.

"Maybe someday crypto will move off of PoW so you should completely ignore the fact that there the networks exist entirely because PoW is how people get paid" is a bunch of bullshit that does nothing to change the fact that Proof Of Wasting A Lot Of Power On Nothing is how it works right now. Right now I consider crypto finding a way to work that doesn't burn shit-tons of energy to be about as likely as The Year Of Linux On The Desktop finally coming to pass.

Really cool project, I wish you great success! Could be useful for my (german) podcast agency!

Out of curiosity: Which ai-technology did you use? OpenAI? Google API? Or did you train the models yourself with Python (sth. like Tensorflow)?

Cheers, Mike
If matter arises from consciousness, then by extension so does computation.

I’m not saying it as a fact, as it is neither refutable no verifiable—but neither is the conventional view.
Everybody scrape all links. Mostly for the preview function. Just s3nd a unique url with some messengers or mail and look at the serverlogs.

Thats also a reason to use even a simple login.
Perhaps this was a cherry picked example on the part of the authors, but the network generating relevant novel images conditioned upon the text prompt “an illustration of a baby daikon radish in a tutu walking a dog” … made me take a (not entirely permanent) break from on ripping on GPT-3.

Everybody treats this news like something out of thin air. Microsoft Edge has been "enhancing" e-commerce transactions for a while now: coupons, cashback, and price histograms. I actually like those features although their usefulness is mostly marginal. When Edge ensures me that I'm buying it at the lowest price, it's reassuring and welcome, but the coupon experience is 99% "we've tried all possible coupons and sorry, nothing worked". I don't even know what's up with the cashback thing.

Anyway, Edge has been integrating these features for a while, they've been welcomed or at least haven't been an issue. Now, they added another feature which seems like a minor extension to what's already there, and I can understand why the team didn't think it wasn't as big a deal as it was discussed here.

I like Edge, I think it's the only candidate that can surpass Chrome at some point, and I want the team to be positively responsive to the criticism here. Fingers crossed.

I did enjoy the article. I forwarded it to some colleagues. I wasn't aware of Ford's rule. But I will say that the rule perhaps only applied in that place and time. I've worked in the nuclear industry, in defense, in aerospace. Not documenting failures in those industries would be a recipe for disaster. Technology is way too complicated today. The man who "either did not know or paid no attention to the previous figures" isn't very likely to help in advanced engineering disciplines. In basic research, I think this man or woman can still make an important contribution.
Most threads about wealthy complain they don’t have to sell for capital gains but average person does. This is exactly that vehicle for anyone.

You could spend $800 but your total capital is $1000 vs $1800.

In my example, you would only be out $200 because you have $800 usd and the btc was $1000 when you put it in.

Even if you go get a loan from a bank, you need 20% equity and either collateral (this case) or co sign or proof of income. All collateral just the same. It’s just risked out to be possible to borrow many multiples due to the stability of real estate collateral.

In business loans, you have to put in 20% and the assets of the purchase are collateral.

It’s the same but crypto doesn’t have debt collectors since it’s not an org. Instead the collateral has to be in the system directly so they can automate liquidation.
I’d be shocked if the researchers doing this study didn’t slice up the study participants by various traits and look for correlations. I.e. find the similar individuals (wrt gut microbiome) and group them, then check for shared traits (wrt asd).

> it’s far from the conclusive answer

Idk it feels conclusive to me. The variance in asd gut microbiome is much more than the variance between asd and non asd gut microbiomes. Whatever we call autism is not “caused” by your microbiome. If there is a single trait or “variant” of asd that IS caused by gut biome that doesn’t actually change the truth of the first conclusion.

He actually researches history, has contacts with many important people in areospace and actually managed to all the CEO from all the companies that had reached Orbit about the topic, Musk, Bruno, Beck. Since that video he also talked to it with the CEO of Firefly (that used to develop a spike and was propulsion engineer at SpaceX).

If you think you are to good to hear from those people then maybe you should get of your high horse.

Just because its not designed for only engineers doesn't mean it shouldn't be recommended. Find me a better video or article about areospikes.
> If you take this attitude you should write all of your own tools, make your own hardware, not use any libraries (I might actually be able to make a case for this one).

No. Just...no. There are more than the two possible positions, its not either "ignore technological dependencies completely and blindly give your balls to a single vendor" or "create everything yourself from the ground up". You can look at your stack and consider how vulnerable you are compared to how much you gain. Sometimes you will find that it's worth it going all in with one vendor, but it should be a conscious decision. Business have to consider their vulnerabilities all the time and it boils down to compromises and tradeoffs.
Sure, why not? You have tremors so maybe you have some tips and tricks to help other people.

Getting a diagnosis from a psychiatrist that tells you that you have depression doesn't make your advice any more or less qualified.

When I was in my teens I answered like 5 questions on a piece of paper (on a scale of 1-10 type questions) and was instantly prescribed anti-depressants. That's the state of our medical system right now.
When Sony had their Xperia mini's, I always intended to make them "my next phone", but they always released at a bad time for my upgrade cycle and got passed over. It's a pity, because I think they did everything right with those: it was a premium phone with premium internals, just in a smaller form factor.

My current phone is a Galaxy S10e, which also has a smaller form factor and held onto a number of vanishing features (like a headphone jack and SD slot). It's smaller than my last phone, and I love it. I don't know what I'll do when Samsung stops sending it security updates, because they quite literally don't make them like this anymore.
sure, I'm just saying that a elevator normally takes up much more space and is therefore more expensive to start with.
> Also, it amazingly continues to remain anecdotal instead of receiving proper media/scientific investigation, but the side effect profile is nowhere near as small as reported.

I may be misreading what you write, but are you putting together "media attention" and "scientific attention"?

In this crisis as in everything else, media have the attention span of a goldfish and considerably less attention to detail. In this crisis as in everything else, scientists, on the other hand, are working hard to obtain and study serious data, something that may very well take years.

And then there are people (not claiming you're among them) who are angry at scientists because media are not doing their work and who prefer taking the word of charlatans because - big surprise - since they don't need scientific rigor, or sometimes even real data, they can find answers to all questions.

Not a big fan of where this is all going.

That page appears to show only one icon for trains, one for trams, and one for subways. No variation or alternative options.

I can see incorporating something like that into the signage around the facilities, or even in the logo, but the entire point of a logo is that it is relatively unique and distinctive and separate from all other things that might be like that — which is the exact opposite of this kind of standardized international icon.

Lotta mental gymnastics there, but ok, so some infectious agent causes cancer and smoking. That’s still not cancer causing smoking, that’s toxoplasmosis (or whatever) causing both.

You’re, of course, right in one sense - I can’t prove a negative. Cancer might cause smoking but we haven’t found the link yet. But the lack of evidence is suspiciously large at this point.

> In extreme case, you can hypermile i.e. drive very slowly. For example someone in 2018 Model 3 did 606 miles on a single charge (a car rated at less than 300 miles). It just took them 32 hrs because they drove so slowly (https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/29/17405906/tesla-model-3-hy...)

Agreed. I am also extremely skeptical of AI, but while the paper does a good job at highlighting the problems with AI, the eventual conclusion is not at all well-supported.

There's an hidden assumption that complex systems cannot be modeled mathematically at all, but while that can be true right now, there is no fundamental reason why satisfactory models can't be produced at all.
I used to do this, but afaik virtual box explicitly disabled this because you risk some problem with data corruption on the partition running on the vm.
It's easy to forget this in our era, but the reason the nation-state exists in the first place is that it's the most effective means we know of to defeat an external adversary in a contest of organized violence. The nation-state's internal distortionary effects on its population — which I agree are absolutely real — are simply the collateral damage you get when you optimize hard enough for victory in the external contest. It's not immediately clear how one might do better on this level either, since any serious decentralization effort has to sacrifice some degree of external security — and then you risk just getting conquered by a different centralized nation-state.

"Gay males who do not identify or express as such" are not actually gay – they're considered "men who sleep with men" or homosexuals. Gay is a chosen identity that piggybacks on msm behaviors, so the idea that the study didn't control for the fact that they're just looking at men who are out seems completely beside the point as it's literally about gay men. (You can be gay and in the closet but not all men who sleep with men identify as gay.)

It's sorta like a study saying "married women get pregnant more often" and then balking that the study didn't control for the fact that women who get married have a second caregiver for a child. Like, yeah, that's the whole point.
IIRC Linux has a capability to specify the root partition at some time during loading. (Probably via the bootloader params—this is where Grub comes in use.) This is helpful for booting from a ‘recovery’ floppy/cd/usb drive and into the system on the HD. But can also be used with VMs.

Moreover—the, erm, advantage of a system where you can tune the boot process in a hundred different ways is that you can do quite weird stuff. Like, have the boot ramdisk mount a network drive and then use that as the root filesystem.

Going to extremely difficult for small-mid companies. Instead we should ask government to be more serious about the threats and strike out if applicable. At the same time, should also find ways to monitor bitcoin movements.
But then it would be... <gasp>... a minivan!
to be very honest, this experience isn't much different from early days of bitcoin. It's only recently that fees have gotten exorbitant and we've had to invent layers to fix that.

Bitcoin in 2008 was as good for remittances as it is today - it's just easier to acquire and costlier to move (lightning being the exception). However, it manages by ignoring all regulations (Indian examples: [0], [1]). Whether these laws are just or proportional in a world where information moves at the speed of light is a question for democratic processes, not multinational corporations to answer.

Payments via SWIFT are slow not because the bits transferring money over SWIFT are much slower, but because international remittance regulations are genuinely complicated.
