I'm interested in identifying the tool used to generate the text.

For example, recently I used a word2vec-like approach on obfuscated assembly code. With a relatively small model this can get reasonable answers to questions like "which of these obfuscations was done to the code" and "which of these un-obfuscated functions is the best match for this obfuscated code".

So I am wondering what approaches people are using to detect when media was generated by a machine.

My research interest is in the binary/malware niche, but I'm using work from NLP and computer vision. And I figure other people are interested in answering "was this artwork made by a human" or things like "was my copyrighted artwork used to generate this AI-generated image".
Revolut is working to replicate its European payments empire in the U.S.
I'm wondering if this works similar to https://github.com/digitalocean/gta which will do transitive analysis to find packages whose dependencies have changed and only run the tests for those packages?
Ah, that's a great example!
They thought they could fool people and that the graphics card demand of the last two years would let them coast on this. They were wrong.

I might be missing the obvious but why would you add extra complexity to your infrastrucutre setup when PHP can be run natively from within caddy, apache, nginx via fastcgi.
For email, it appears Alpine (the successor to Pine) supports multiple email accounts via Roles. I have not tried this.
I expect the submitter to have done that. The most annoyed I get in code reviews when it is clear that the tests are green but the code is totally broken and the submitter has never bothered to test it. And at my old job there were things that to properly do a manual QA would have taken all day because it wasn't possible to test on a laptop (e.g. wrong O/S and no ability to easily spin up an AIX image to start with). Really feel like this needs to not be a job of the reviewer, but needs to be on the submitter, but a lot of junior devs or open source contributors tend to skip that step and treat green tests as the definition of done, rather than working software.
Two issues I see with your line: 1. we've been increasing funding consistently for … forever. It hasn't resulted in improved outcomes. 2. cops don't want better hiring standards (sounds like you want to fire some cops? they don't want that), better use of force standards (sounds like you want to give non-cops more ways to prosecute cops if they break a couple too many noses? nope) 3. de-escalation?? sounds like you want to put cops in the line of fire without proper tools. Nope.

Cops will always and forever defend their right to fuck shit up and not suffer the consequences. Cops will NEVER go for the ideas you suggest, and any money you send them for "training" will only turn into luxe contracts for ex-cops and extra overtime for everyone.

Cops love being cops because of what the institution is now, today. The toxicity, the freedom to do shit without consequences, the lucrative overtime, all of it. And cops are incredibly good at agitating when they are threatened – oh you want to make it so we can't shoot people? Okay we're not going to do any work at all for months. Or maybe we send someone's cousin around the way to scare you – you think that's a problem … call the cops!

The problem imo with the "mostly good people" line is that it ignores the fact that in a harmful institution most "good people" will just go along with whatever is happening. Any "good cop" who speaks up against a fellow cop gets their face bashed in (see the current case in SF where they straight up killed another cop in a training exercise …). Good people in shitty situations can make harmful choices and generally don't do the (very difficult and dangerous) work of speaking up to change things.

Defund. We need something new.
Using google maps to spot out a non-touristy area was ingenious.

I live near the spot you showed in the example that you picked.

I would suggest next time trying out another method, not based on restaurants, but on using Historical Map: look at the city and go back 100 years, then look at the city in the present, and either choose a place that has not changed at all, or a place that was a slum and now is housing.
If they were, we wouldn't be able to see it in visualizations.
On a much more systemic level, the whole global patent and intellectual property system worked to ensure that countries who would have been able to create vaccines themselves instead had to rely on ordering vaccines from the few companies with the IP rights, drastically limiting vaccine rollout. Literally putting corporate profit above the lives of millions and the well-being of billions.

Thanks, I was thinking of it this way as well... for SSH keys I us a second factor as a hardware device but I can also use a hardware key for WebAuthn so that is where i was thinking maybe it's a 2nd factor... but for the web, I think it makes sense as a alternative to the password.
These have more passive controls that don't require active management, and can go a few days with almost no pumps or anything running. They also have some improvements that avoid Fukushima-like events, with a core catcher that can catch and cool a molten core.

appreciate your response.

i get the impression dense urban environments are ripe for various types of capture not to mention the variety of competing interests that end up diluting the effectiveness of policy to address these issues.

also, i get the impression incentives for housing developers aren't aligned to addressing this problem because in the end it would mean lower margins and a smaller pipeline of future housing development projects effectively putting them out of business.
We could and you are free to run such experiment.

While I think the experiment is likely dumb, criticizing authors for not mixing science with charity is not productive.

For experiment like that it's already virtually impossible to produce valuable results. If you throw charity in the mix you're going to get less science. If one goal is already too hard, why would you make two goals? Unless you already believe there's no science here.

What's the nothing burger?

The story was all over HN and other sites.

Following up on what the actual policy is and how wonky it is to announce on your official twitter "Hi David, Lufthansa is banning activated AirTags from luggage as they are classified as dangerous and need to be turned off./Mony" and later having to clarify that it wasn't accurate ...

All that seems like legitimate news.
> I guess it depends on your definition of "taught".

Indeed - there are the labels we apply to things, and then there is what lies underneath. And then there is the question of whether we form a distinction between the two (or, the degree to which we [are able to] form a distinction, and whether this is a constant or varies under different conditions, and the degree to which and ways in which it varies, etc).

> I do think that some large percentage of the population, probably at least 30%, have received the hoax message repeatedly from popular conservative sources such as Fox News, Donald Trump's former Twitter account, and the TV show Tucker Carlson Tonight.

> Now, I tend to think that all these sources don't care in the slightest whether what they're saying is true, and would happily say (and even believe) the exact opposite seconds later if it suited them.

1. Do you believe that it is only conservative sources and conservative people who can be objectively observed engaging in this behavior:

a) on a relative scale?

b) on an absolute scale?

2. Same question, but replace "believe" with "think it is necessarily and comprehensively true (in a formal, Justified True Belief sense)".
> Surely, such a practice of revering articles that form an important part of one’s life, must rate as unique in the ancient world. This is the ethos from the Rig Veda that has survived and become the bedrock of Hindu and I dare say Indian culture and life. A practice and heritage that today’s consumerist generation could do well to imbibe.

Seems like a bad take. It implies that everyone else doesn't respect the tools of their trade by virtue of being a consumer society. This is a strawman.

Consumerism doesn't mean a programmer who buys a very powerful laptop can afford to just throw it away. It doesn't mean that people who drive vehicles for a living don't take care of them.

It does mean that things that are seldomly used are often made to be used fewer times. The feature that is planned obsolescence could seem like a consumerist virtue, but really it's a feature of greed and at times a complicated calculation of perceived consumer value juxtaposed with the cumulative cost of components in a device. More simply stated it's what the market will bare for costs.
EventHub is a perfectly acceptable product. It's basically Kafka.
We used it at a fairly high scale with very few issues.
It's actually even worse. If you look at the core counts, the 4080 12g is a 60 tier card, and the 4080 16gb is a 70 tier card. The 4090 has a much better power to cost ratio.
To clarify, it's about quality and file size - I find that some pirates do a better job of offering high quality videos with better compression (and thus smaller file size). Especially if they use more modern codecs like HEVC. (And right now, I don't really care about 4k quality or Dolby vision). The ability to watch it offline (without any nonsensical 24-48 hour limitation) in any device is the real pleasure (I used to be able to connect my iPad to my TV to watch some series on Prime, but they annoyingly disabled support for that).

But as I also mentioned, all the above pales in comparison to their plan to spy and profile us to serve us ads, when the very reason that people have dumped TV and pay a premium for streaming platform is to avoid advertisements.
> A notable improvement of Gen III+ systems over second-generation designs is the incorporation in some designs of passive safety features that do not require active controls or operator intervention but instead rely on gravity or natural convection to mitigate the impact of abnormal events.

> Generation III+ reactors incorporate extra safety features to avoid the kind of disaster suffered at Fukushima in 2011. Generation III+ designs, passive safety, also known as passive cooling, requires no sustained operator action or electronic feedback to shut down the plant safely in the event of an emergency. Many of the Generation III+ nuclear reactors have a core catcher. If the fuel cladding and reactor vessel systems and associated piping become molten, corium will fall into a core catcher which holds the molten material and has the ability to cool it. This, in turn protects the final barrier, the containment building.

You’ve just identified the (obvious to systems engineers) problem of every movement that tries to bypass IT Operations and has Developers just do it. System engineering is actually a completely different skill than development, and past a very small size, it’s not reasonable to expect the same person to know everything.

DevOps and the Cloud are just the most recent marketing campaigns trying to promise that one can get rid of “those pesky Ops people who just cost you money anyway”. Things can run fine when there are no problems, but then you realize that nobody who’s left is able to fix things when they go wrong. The mentality of “just reboot (or redeploy the container)” only take you so far.
As someone else once pointed out here on hacker news: "Mankind will rather fight the sun than capitalism."

Or _not_ crowded.

We have more boats and planes than there are orbital objects. If you open flightradar you'll see an absolute abomination of planes flying overhead. Yet, unless you live close to an airport, you probably won't see any. The planet is really large. Space is larger still.
I mean, you need to actually be able to see the objects for it to be a visualization though. If the satellites were drawn to scale they'd be smaller than a pixel.

I think you can get a decent sense of how crowded (or not) an area is by watching how many objects pass though it. The state that I live in looks like it has somewhere between 1 and 10 satellites above it at any given time, which drives home the point that LEO isn't quite as "busy" as it feels from a zoomed-out, sped-up view of the map.
The linked page says "kernel upgrades aren't generally required when updating the platform release", so the relevant entry is the one for Android 10, which the Pixel 4a originally shipped with.

As usual - it depends.

There have been two main problems with WebAuthn as a primary factor. The first is that the UX experience of WebAuthn as a primary factor - either for "passwordless" or "usernameless" scenarios - has been pretty rough. The WebAuthn W3C group has put together a document that goes into far more detail [1]. One of the items out of that discussion was a standards change [2] that was merged in a few months ago. Now it's up to browser vendors to implement that change over the coming months and years.

The second problem with WebAuthn is that device based authentication has been historically risky for consumer users long-term. It's unreasonable to expect an individual to have access to their phone, yubikey, or laptop over a period of years. In the B2B space, this isn't as big of a deal. Getting an IT admin that works for your company to reset your access and issue a new credential is not a complex problem. Not so in the B2C space. Devices get lost or stolen, and then the service operator needs to build out an alternative recovery method that needs to be as secure as WebAuthn (ideally, without infringing on the user's privacy via KYC methods). New developments like Apple's PassKeys are super interesting and have the potential to really be a game changer for B2C WebAuthn adoption.

In summary, WebAuthn probably can't replace the password for your application today, unless your users are tech savvy and OK with the lock-out risk. However, the space going through some exciting changes and it may be much more feasible in a few years!

My company has developed a spreadsheet based on actual historical effort that spits out a SWAG (Scientific Wild-Ass Guess). Things are split up into different categories, as building with one technology could be more costly than building with another. It has been remarkably accurate as long as we can stay within the original scope.
But that's not the point. It's not meant to be intelligible. The point is marketing, aka to misinform consumers. It's working as expected and it happens in every field.

Choosing obscure names that make it extremely hard to compare characteristics within products by a company, much less to compare to outside competitors, is not a bug --- it's a feature.

Try buying a bike and figuring out how to compare it to other bikes by the same manufacturer from this year or last, or try to figure out what features it carries. You're left doing what you always do: staring at 7 tabs with spec sheets and slowly trying to absorb the features of the various "poorly" named offerings

It's anti consumer and I'm surprised there's not more outrage, given that a market purportedly should consist of rational consumers making informed decisions.
Most likely answer, I think.

EEOC policy page: https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/employment-tests-and-sele...

The use of tests and other selection procedures can be a very effective means of determining which applicants or employees are most qualified for a particular job. However, use of these tools can violate the federal anti-discrimination laws if an employer intentionally uses them to discriminate based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, or age (40 or older). Use of tests and other selection procedures can also violate the federal anti-discrimination laws if they disproportionately exclude people in a particular group by race, sex, or another covered basis, unless the employer can justify the test or procedure under the law.

That is not a categorical exclusion.

Department of Labor Employers' Guide to Good Practice (2000, 29 years after Griggs): http://assessmentresources.pbworks.com/f/empTestAsse.pdf

Similar language: One of the basic principles of the Uniform Guidelines is that it is unlawful to use a test or selection procedure that creates adverse impact, unless justified. Adverse impact occurs when there is a substantially different rate of selection in hiring, promotion, or other employment decisions that work to the disadvantage of members of a race, sex, or ethnic group.

Meta ending support for Instant Articles
This is like the French Canadian story of the Black Dog of Jean Labadie.

The character Jean Labadie is a good storyteller, who spins a vivid tale about a black dog, which doesn't actually exist. The people in his village believe it and start spreading rumors about it. People claim to have seen it, and even to have been bitten by it. Calls grow louder for something to be done about the ferocious animal as the false rumor spreads out of control. In the end, Jean has to shoot the nonexistent animal to calm the uproar.

I grew tired of feeling sick. I was curious if I could just decide to stop, and follow through. It has been about 1.4 years now, and I still tell myself I am allowed to get a drink if I want one.

I just love how I feel now that I have decided I don't want alcoholic drinks.
- I feel great.
- I have more money.
- I lost 35 lbs.
- I can go to stores late at night without drinking and driving. I used to stay home instead. And this one is a safety issue, because I am a father. What if I needed to drive family to the hospital suddenly?
- I can change my mind if I want to, so no pressure.
[off-topic] While you're at it, how about integrating D with cargo? D could:

- act as a C/C++ compiler for legacy code,

- shine where Rust is weakest: strings-first apps and apps that benefit from classes,

- get us to a world where the best C++ is a frozen C++

Too tall an order?
The interesting question to be answered now is if "web3" skills are an effective substitute good (in the pure economic sense) for employers looking for developers.

I suspect a lot of pure web3 devs won't actually make a more competitive market beyond incentivizing yet another fizzbuzz-like hoop in the interviewing process to weed out people who learned about blockchain tech and otherwise can't code themselves out of a wet paper bag.

On second thought... I should acknowledge my elitism in that last sentence and maybe be more cautious. Good grief, I got my last 4 years of professional experience working on IoT, which I bet was looked down upon in a similar manner by others when it started.

Maybe the takeaway is that we should all to the best of our abilities keep at least a casual hand in the water of tech so we have a general idea of the current.
The Hague is full of poets, playwrites, psychiatrists and lawyers and the media was heavily used to incite hatred. Not in the way that directed violence in Rwanda for example, but it was propaganda.

Not to disagree with your characterization of the tweet or response to the user, but what's the end point then?

"Don't believe our official twitter account if you think customer service is involved?"

I have trouble faulting anyone for believing what was a very clear statement on their official twitter account.
Experience have given me an intuition of what incomplete information feels like.

And the expectation that the future always involves change...this is information I am always missing. I think about my estimate on two time scales, wall clock time and calendar time. Clock time is the resources I will need to commit. Calendar time is the external dependencies.

But, all that said, the only way to get the experience for having intuition is by estimating.

And basically, your choice (and mine) is to come up with something that might be wrong after a long arduous process or come up with something that might be wrong quickly.

Quickly provides empirical feedback faster.

Good luck.
You need money/people on board, but not on the order of 80% of the people of the world; you need the leadership of singular countries to decide to do something. Consider how easy it was for individual countries to pour a ton of resources into developing atomic bombs, compared to how difficult it has been for countries to come together and agree to get rid of nuclear weapons.

It's easy for a country to do what's in its own self-interest. It's difficult for multiple countries to come together and do things which are in everyone's common interest but which is against each individual country's interest.
