This happened to me with Bank of America’s fraud department. I had a charge that tripped the fraud detector on a relatively new card. I don’t recall the sequence of events, but I believe I was prompted to request a callback from the fraud department. When they called back I had to answer a bunch of PII questions, and then they pushed a 2FA code to me and asked me to read it back over the phone. I told him, the 2FA message literally says to never give this number out to anyone, but they insisted it was necessary to continue. I was shocked that the banks fraud department would be so cavalier.

My take: that when the house is on fire, deal with the fire first then the cause of the fire after. Put it on the shelf to deal with the real issues first.

Politically, Trump targeted China from the beginning of his race in 2015 and never backed down. We didn't need the further fan geopolitical or realpolitick flames when we needed at least minimal international cooperation.

I wish I could trust that people will respond with neighbor-first mentalities when disasters like pandemics arrive. I feel it might be unpopular with the HN crowd, but I believe the anti-public health measures tantrum will be used to justify a lot more draconian measures when the next global disaster comes around.
what? dancesafe uses reagent-based testing. which, if used carefully, can identify many kinds of compounds with high accuracy.

it wouldn’t make any sense to compare it to an existing sample. not to mention the legality of that, depending on where the festival is happening.

if you are curious, all of their tests are available on their website

the emphasis here on interconnect sounds interesting but there's no real details. another blog post talks about dual 50Gbps interconnects from the chassis, i think, plus one can have add in cards and external switches to double that... if im interpretting correctly.

This really isn't a reasonable expectation. There are only so many judges, and being on-call 24/7 for all emergencies is not part of their job description, and it probably should not be, either. They need clarity of mind when they're making decisions, not to be in a sleepy mood. Moreover, you seem to be proposing a solution in search of a problem. There isn't widespread abuse of this by cops in the US (that I've heard of, anyway) to justify upending an otherwise effective procedure.

I'm sorry, maybe it's just my tiny monkey brain, but I see no rational reason why someone would even consider dualism to be a thought worth entertaining. We obviously know material changes affect mental functioning directly. So how the heck could that substrate exist if not at the physical level?
Parts of our code base are still using jQuery and it's the most spaghetti-ish code we have. So difficult to reason about state and remembering what UI elements are present that need to be updated. It's made me really appreciate the developer-experience simplicity of React.

You appear to make a lot of very low quality comments.

Perhaps you could either make more substantial comments, or alternatively make worse comments so we can flag them?
Nothing wrong with two cans and a line of string, either.
Yes, but banks shouldn't be using these insecure processes in the first place. I got a legit fraud text alert from my bank directing me to call a certain number. It should have asked me to call the number on my card.
Another pass.

We're looking for a substring with the largest number of unique values. If we have unique values, we can paint each value with a colour close enough to the expected value that humans will see them as the same.

Maybe?
If I unserstand it right, this is in ducks a defense against contraception, not against coerced sex.

Further, if this is supposed to be an argument against legal abortion (I heard before from the anti-abortion crowd, that the body has defenses against unwanted pregnamcy), then the question becomes if this really can be willfully controlled and if we really want to limit the choice making of women to that short period of time, when they are being violated.

I think the disorder comes in, when women complain about it to their doctors, i.e. they are unable to control it. So I don't see a reason why it should be considered anything else in such circumstances.
I drive through Carmel frequently and love the efficiency of their roundabouts. Anecdotally, I haven't had significant issues with other drivers not using them effectively. Meanwhile in Indianapolis, I often find myself stopped at a stoplight with no cross traffic, wishing that we would invest more in roundabouts like Carmel has. Granted, Indy is much larger, older, and more dense than Carmel, but there are still plenty of locations where roundabouts would be a good fit.
I think it has to be all completely historical. In some species the male is the suitor, in others, the female is; and there are - or used to be, sadly - enough species for every linear combination of both possibilities.

If I know anything about nature, it's that it's a brute-force optimizer for biological fitness. Every possible combination of traits could feasibly be tested on these scales.

Farewell, Elementary
Maybe one day we'll only need to maintain a body that's just healthy enough to not confuse the algorithm and glitch out all the time.
The classic thing that's tough to do is self-referential structures; since you have no hook into moves, you can't fix-up the references.

It also has quite a few pros, and many people think it's better the way it is. Since moves are memcopies, they can never fail, meaning there's no opportunities for panics, which means it's much easier to optimize. They aren't arbitrarily expensive; you always know what the cost is. As you mentioned, there's no need for a "moved-from" state, which can save space and/or program logic.

> During the Cold War, the United States devised Operation Steelyard, a plan to destroy 50 percent of the Soviet Union’s winter wheat using wheat stem rust (TX) mixed with feathers (known as the M1 carrier). If the president approved Steelyard, Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers were to drop M115 500-pound “feather” bombs filled with TX in a 60-day campaign starting in March. The Air Force forward-deployed empty M115 bombs to RAF Lakenheath and Wheelus Strategic Air Command (SAC) airbases for this purpose. The M2 two-pound
containers would be airlifted to the Air Force from the TX stockpile at Edgewood Arsenal, Md. TX required an annual revolving stockpile as it had a half-life of eight months. Rye stem rust (SX) was added to augment the inventory. Steelyard was the first operational biological war plan of the United States in 1952 with a stockpile of 0.8 tons TX and SX. Secretary of Defense Charles Wilson made Steelyard a standing capability in 1954 with an arsenal of eight tons of TX and SX.

I think the flight analogy for AI is a good one; we have machines that let us fly, but we don't fly the way birds do. In many ways, the ways that we fly far exceed the capabilities of birds, but there are ways in which birds exceed the capability of our machines.

The issue with AGI as it's often framed is that it implicitly assumes a general intelligence like us, without any metric that can relate human intelligence and machine intelligence. We have machines that beat us in Go, so if we took those machines and somehow combined them with machines that beat us in Chess, Starcraft and Dota, are we any closer to AGI than we were previously? What about if that same AI can also drive a car? What's the standard, and where does it end? Where do we fall on that same metric?

There are also some fairly deep philosophical questions in this realm, too. For example, to what extent is the human experience (and intelligence) linked to our physical bodies? Cooking by smell and writing by sound are things we do on a daily basis that have no machine analogue. How important is the embodiment principle to AI? Certainly we don't do things by plugging our minds in directly -- we drive cars using the same limbs that we use for everything else, which probably has enormous efficiency advantages. To what extent can you separate the intelligence from the body and the environment?

Frankly, I believe we're a lot further away than we think. The last decade has taught us that relatively simple methods can be applied in surprisingly powerful ways, which is an important start, but it doesn't tell us anything about how close we actually are to a given goal, and how we might go about reaching it.

You also don’t want them to have any incentive to treat one customer’s cargo more carefully than another’s. You want them to jettison cargo indiscriminately with the only incentive being to save the ship.
CSS flow control and specifying an `id` attribute value as a URL fragment would be my solutions to those particular concerns, if it weren't the case that our context here is capturing from software that offers printing but doesn't offer exporting to HTML very well.

Why 2060? I'd LOVE to see the ages of the respondents in each group.

(I have a phd in CS and am, by most reasonable definitions, an "AI Expert". Whatever the hell that means. I've been a respondent in very similar surveys run by PIs at fancy universities and so on. These responses are always wild ass guesses and should be totally ignored. I've even left a comment to this effect on one such survey.)
For the decade of the 1980's (40 years ago) Japan made the top emphasis of their industrial policy AI. In the 1700's people believed we could make devices that imitated the behavior of animals as soon as we could make the clock work small enough. Meanwhile the whole world could be massacred by nuclear weapons on any given day in a few hours. And the author feels we are woefully unprepared for the singularity. Maybe.
There's an object lock feature which prevents objects in a certain bucket from being deleted before X amount of time has elapsed. This might be able to prevent backups from being tampered with.

If that doesn't work, there's a restic server which can act as an intermediary and which has an append-only mode which would prevent backups from being tampered with if your computer were compromised.
There's an interesting wrinkle: the system works on self-declared value of cargo, and is set up in such a way that people have an incentive to declare the true value of the cargo.

Basically, if you declare a value that's too low, you don't get enough money when your cargo gets thrown overboard. If you declare too high, you pay more, if somebody else's cargo gets thrown overboard.
> There isn't widespread abuse of this by cops in the US (that I've heard of, anyway) to justify upending an otherwise effective procedure.

There's massive abuse of police power to get access to data that would normally require a warrant. The only reason EDRs aren't abused more often is because it's often easier for cops to use more "straightforward" approaches like threatening the person/organization they want to get the data from, or lying (or misrepresenting) in order to get the other party to "voluntarily" give up the information.
" I don't believe that it's just statistical inferences run in parallel"

Why not?
I also believe, there must be something more, but I cannot articulate it.

But as disturbing as it sounds, most natural learning might be just this. Lots of statistics run in parallel.

To me, because the world is too complex to allow us to deal in absolutes – especially when dealing with corporations. Wacom deserves to have their name shamed when it comes to spying on their customers, but they equally well deserve praise for their Linux kernel drivers and libraries. As far as I can see there is no perfect option out there, so for now I (as a “FLOSS person”) have no choice but to settle with an imperfect alternative (or world for that matter) and praise the good parts and shame the bad while hoping for things to gradually improve.
Some more of my favorites along the same vein include Snakebird, Jelly no Puzzle, and ilomilo.
Perhaps. There are a lot of games that are not like that though, catering to gambling, and I presume even in the future many games will not as well. There is always a group of people who like games without stuff like that in there, and it seems like at least some of these game creators do quite well, such as CDPR with their Witcher and Cyberpunk series.
That’s just my belief. I might get proven wrong, but I haven’t been so far.
> There are some games which really just exist so rich dudes can casually meet and show off how much money they spend on some stupid skin.

Possibly, but not in the mainstream market. I'm not concerned with some weird niche luxury thing that 8 rich guys are doing. And as far as the mainstream market goes, the "rich guy to whom money means nothing" is not the average whale. Most whales (as I recall) are of fairly average means.
Agree. That's perhaps the biggest implicit or latent achievement of his and his wife's. Separating out the actual subject matter they worked in--which I greatly respect cuz I think there's so much potential to explore that area--you have this incredible sort of self experimentation done in a sustainable and safe Way. And I don't know that much about it but basically it seems he combines some animal assessments with reasoning based on the structure as well as trialing tiny amounts and grading it up. I haven't heard him his wife called a genius but they most certainly are, like the Curies perhaps but I suppose better at survival. And I can only hope that like the Curies their inventive era heralds a future explosion in applied technology of a similar scale but hopefully a positive valence. A Renaissance of exploration of these forms of consciousness technology.
Wait you mean you can't take the meme literally? Imagine that.

Battleship USS Missouri also ran aground in Chesapeake Bay in 1950.

the battleship remained stuck for over two weeks before being freed from the sand. The ship was so damaged that she had to return to port and enter dry dock for repairs.

Why? And under which jurisdictions?

Ports and canals already have rules about what ships they accept and what fees they charge. These institutions can change their rules as they see fit.

There's no reason to make big ships illegal on the open ocean. And in any case, the economically orthodox answer for dealing negative externalities is to tax them, not ban anything. But that doesn't apply here, because there are no necessary externalities: as said above the ports and canals can deal with this just fine. (Unless there are laws that ban them from making adequate rules. In this case these laws should be fixed.)
Well thank you for the challenging and somewhat enjoyable sparring session. Word to the wise I think you picked a very good time to bow out for yourself. I look forward to coming across you here again in future. Good day!

>that one means anything that results in reproduction gets passed on

No, it doesn't. Just because you reproduce does not mean your genes will get passed down more than a generation, especially if there is a method of reproduction that is more successful.

The agency is exactly that. It's an emergent ranking of how successful certain genes are. There is no agency. For the individual there is only the response to the environment given their genetic makeup.

Nobody said anything about "police power" in the general case. The discussion here is about EDRs, which you yourself acknowledge aren't abused frequently. Therefore it follows that making EDRs harder would not really solve that problem. You'd need to make other avenues for getting people's data more difficult before you contemplate changing this one.

The reason for Go was that much of the research was based on AI algorithms like Monte-Carlo.

What was "solved" with AlphaGo was using deep learning machine learning which are effectively black boxes. There was a certain assumption in the question for AI researchers academically that it would be an understood algorithm as an AI agent like a Prolog application, not a brute forced model. That's still not the case that we have a "solved" strategy and all we can do is watch it play as if it is a deaf mute player.

So there still is no "tic-tac-toe" known winning strategy to Go or anything.

That doesn't make AlphaGo any less impressive or any less practical, but it even has its own readout issues. It can't even read ladders without hard coding it in, for instance, because it becomes a long enough depth search. This is one of the first things a newbie would learn.

It's just a 19x19 board, so it was always known if you could read all the possible outcomes you could see all the possibilities and win. This is just looking at all possible outcomes and picking the best one, not knowing how to play. Creating models of data that is 2, 3, or even 4+ dimensions is always possible, just depends on how much computing power you can throw at it. The created models are essentially aggregate simplifications to play quicker.

Generalized intelligence is so much different. You have to define the problems themselves that you are trying to solve, figure out what the variables are, and solve it. Then you have to operate and run the machinery to create those experiments. Outside of a scenario that you've taken actual physical territory as an intelligence, I can't see how it would get there (think Terminator or BSG, doesn't have to be malicious but they'd have to be in control of the physical area autonomously).

But the hardest part is defining the problems independently given the sheer number of problems they'd need to define second to second just to solve basic tasks, and they'd likely have millions of variables with millions of possible values.
