The issue with this kind of public enforcement is China quite frankly could care less about the plaintiff. They got the info they required, the chinese way of thinking is that these foreign assets are largely expendable and easily replacible.

Sanctions and other forms of proactive and offensive protection of these assets is the only way to curb this kind of espionage. This kind of counter-intelligence and sabotage was actually one of the only things Reagan got right during his presidency.

Something worth reading is the operation, in which the US realized Russians were attempting to steal information to automate operation of a newly constructed natural gas pipeline through Siberia. Ironically, the US contacted the Canadians and found a willing oil and gas engineering firm to take the bait and provide "functional" code and licensed tech to the soviets. The soviets were smitten with what they thought was genuine information and tech - however, shortly after one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history occurred when the pipeline failed in the middle of Siberia. (take what you will from this in regards to the recent Nordstream explosion) The gist here - is you have to erode trust in data stolen from your country to a deadly extent. As soon as China realizes that 40% of their stolen "intelligence" is useless or something designed to fail... they'll think twice about stealing. Also, just make it harder for people with a clear past linking them to the PLA to you know... run important infrastructure.

Most novel AI serves the user perfectly well. And since this type of AI requires lots of labelled data, these users are typically large data harvesting organisations.

Some other applications that you may use daily are translate and face unlock/recognition.

It’s interesting that you mention search and spam filtering which both include an adversarial component. It seems to me that the adversarial AI has become better, in line of expectation from the democratisation of AI tools and knowledge.

Show HN: I've wrote a word finding game
I've published a quick word finding game :)

The gameplay is simple,
Click the letters to find a word.
If the word is correct the length of the word will be transformed into points,
if the word is not correct the length of the word will be decurted from your points.

Letters are not reusable, once used they will be deleted. You can deselect and reselect only the last clicked letter

If the letters are distant, Timber will also deletes the path between the two letters.

Score the required points.

Rules are also available by clicking '?'

For any feedback, bug or contribution :)
Controversial take, but I'm going to be pretty upset if there is a global thermonuclear war and we all die, I am not going to sugar coat it.

Informants seem redundant when an investigative journalist was meeting with several different militia groups that had been coordinating the event for over a year on public blogs/vlogs. [1] The journalist had been working with POTUS on this for quite a while before the event.

You mean ethanol, right? I don't think it's produced by fermentation, at least not without a secondary process that removes the other hydrocarbon.

That aside, yes, plant biomass to alcohol is a carbon-neutral tech that has already existed for a really long time. Let plants take carbon out of the atmosphere, ferment the starches and sugars into fuel alcohol, feed the remaining cellulose to animals, burn the fuel, eat the animals, and return most (but not all!) of the carbon back to where it came from. It's really an incredible process, but obviously its existence is a threat to the oil industry. If you've ever noticed the propaganda that ethanol is bad for engines and worse for the environment, well, just follow the money.

Or because (at least in one case, not sure about the other) their original trial ended in a mistrial and in the second, the judge disallowed a lot of the entrapment evidence. That could have something to do with the different outcome. But of course this is just an idea and we will never know.

In questions like this, there should be some demonstration of attempts to avoid human errors. Here we have a massive attack on the whole territory, including regions at the border. We can wait for next actions from Russia - if they'd bring apologies and some good offers - but meantime it's a good idea to keep reaction going. After all, it's the approach proven to be most reliable when dealing with current Russia.

Your assumption is the data is meaningless, yet the data shows that excluding self-reported gender from ad targeting leads to worse ad performance...
It could affect commercial artist deeply, like game artists and commercial illustrators making logos and icons and whatnot.

But it won't affect studio artists at all. Studio art is not about "the image", it's about the practice, physical qualities of the artifacts, and an ongoing evolution of the artist.
I have an Epax 3D and I've been pretty satisfied with it, although it does have a pretty small build area.
Cable television may not have been conceived of as television without commercial interruption, but it was heavily advertised as being ad free and for a time it really was. I remember the ad creep. It started with channels adverting themselves or shows/movies that would air or replay later on their channel, then came ads for shows airing on other channels, then came the commercials for cars and dish soap.
Yes. I wonder if coordinates have to be entered manually.
It depends a lot on the terrain and specific area whether a typical VHF/UHF ham radio will work. The range is much longer than cellular, but it is quite LOS, and repeater/digipeater sites with good coverage tend to be at established antenna sites for commercical broadcast or telecom. There'll be some more remote sites of course, but infrastructure and LOS is still more or less required. With many popular recreation areas up in uninhabited mountain valleys with no infrastructure and where building stuff is often prohibited, the chances of hitting a site aren't great unless you happen to be below a mountain microwave site or such. At least without hiking out of the valley, but that's hardly a condition you want to put on yourself for an emergency communicator.

That said, it's not a bad thing to carry in your car, as there are plenty enough dead spots that would likely be covered by packet radio. It's just a lot less clear how to get help.
Well, kind of.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) does handle fraudulent advertisements and the like.... If they even address your complaint, AND if the complaint comes in your favor, you are still guaranteed nothing.

How much do you pay when you factor in the taxes you also pay into the system?

If one gym had a yearly fee of $40 and then cost $1 every time you went, and another gym had a $8 yearly fee and cost $15 everytime you went, it wouldn't make sense to compare them merely on the per-visit costs.

Just to short circuit, I'm not trying to defend the American healthcare system. American healthcare is horrible on average compared to the average of other rich nations.

Also, a final note, but even if you have cheap out of pocket expenses, you aren't getting good value for your money if you don't visit a doctor for almost a decade. (Yes, I did e-stalk you for 60s to try to see what country to figure out average tax burden for healthvare, and ran across that fact on your intermittent fasting post)
There's indeed plenty of tools out there, so the next few years are very interesting in terms of seeing which approach gets adopted by the wider audience. Feedback from the community (inc. feedback from you!) is instrumental in designing a tool that works well and addresses all the needs, so thanks a lot for your input re: CLI and branding. :)

Good observation, we've made sure that datasets can evolve better as you go. Specifically for your use case, you can query subsets of data and materialize it on the fly to be streamed, and then go back to a specific dataset "view" (i.e. saved query), as needed.

See how this works at around 5:50 here - https://youtu.be/SxsofpSIw3k

As for your last question, when the jpeg is appended using its file path, the compressed bytes get stored in the dataset without decompression/recompression. When the data is accessed as a numpy array, then the jpeg bytes are decompressed.

How many modern discoveries like this can be accounted for somewhat sloppy experimental procedure? Sometimes there is not enough chaos in science, just messing around can open up crazy avenues of research.

Love it! Table top physics is still alive and kicking. We need more people doing more outlandish (seemingly) things.
The amount of energy to crack water is already only a small multiple of what you get back when you get the products back together.

The improvements are in the cost of equipment per unit output capacity, and the production rate per unit volume of said equipment. Improvements are cumulative.

Airports, steel mills, and ammonia synthesizers will need to produce huge amounts of H2, soon, so reductions are important.
Don't forget projects like PyTorch, Presto, etc.
Russia is increasingly using their S300s to attack ground targets.

It's a bit of a waste of a sophisticated rocket, and the warhead is smaller, but the ones they fire tend to be reaching EOL anyway due to age. That, or lack of better alternatives.

I think at this point he's basically intentionally cutting pretty much anybody who isn't a full Elon fan-boy who is also willing to work insane hours. Once he has that, assuming he doesn't cause the site to become worthless (in terms of ad revenue) or hemorrhage most of its users, his plan is to use the existing site as a launchpoint for a wide range of new features. And these features will produce so much revenue (and profit) that everybody will look at Elon and think he's a genius who restored a distressed property.

WHy he thinks this path will work can only be explained by a massive ego. At this point it's not clear to me that Musk trusts anybody senior to him if they come in and say "you know, you might just get out of this if you fold instead of quadrupling down".

So it seems like we will just watch him take down twitter through operational mishaps and driving away users and advertisers over the next 6 months and then basically nobody will think he's a genius any more and the various stocks that make up his theoretical wealth will drop in value.
No, not at all! This is a big misunderstanding that implementing high-level graph DBMS query language require BFS/DFS type "traversals", which is another term to use for joins of node records with each other. Systems that adopt these "traversal" algorithms to do joins end up committing to a specific type of joins (what an RDBMS would call an index-nested loop join) and that's usually not very efficient (no matter what those systems might claim). Instead it's better to accept that these are simply joins and use relational join operators that are however optimized for many-to-many joins and cyclic joins (e.g., if you are searching for triangles, etc.). that's what we do in Kùzu. You can read about some of these join algorithms in our CIDR paper (https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~ssalihog/papers/kuzu-tr.pdf) and some earlier papers (http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol12/p1692-mhedhbi.pdf). We have explained what we do always in terms of fast joins and we strongly believe that's the right thing to do for evaluating the graph patterns in a language like cypher! That said, when we move to other computations, e.g., shortest paths, we will be using more specialized graph algorithms as operators as well.

At PolyScale [1], we agree that eliminating error-prone caching logic without any code or infrastructure changes is a worthy goal. However, we have taken a different approach to caching, zero configuration, fully automated.

We know empirically that the staging area is a major pain point for users in practice, as discussed in https://investigating-archiving-git.gitlab.io/

The findings validate the earlier conceptual design analysis in practically all aspects: https://gitless.com/#research

Git doesn't support certain workflows well. For example, how do you split the contents of the staging area into two separate groups? Sapling handles this the same way it handles splitting commits in general. Essentially, it has a greater set of verbs that act on a smaller set of nouns, where Git has a medium set of verbs that act on a medium set of nouns.
Completely untrue, they do this stuff all the time. Usually they just interview people in the industry and quote them, or temper with words like alleged. But it’s common.
That decision making process is a key part of what's taught in a wilderness medicine course: assessing the situation at hand and deciding whether it's necessary to evacuate for a higher level of care, and if so, whether you need a rapid evac like a helicopter, or can walk or be carried out with fewer resources. https://blog.nols.edu/2018/02/20/stay-or-go-infographic

I do tend to agree that this has a pretty good chance of creating more nuisance calls from people who are not in actual danger...I read the New York forest rangers reports now and then, and a big portion of the rescues involve clueless people who set off alone with no map, an hour before sunset in October wearing a tshirt and shorts.

I'd say that metaphor not quite dead yet. A few generations are younger than CDs, but vinyl still appears in a lot of pop culture (in no small part thanks to nostalgia). I'd wager most teens would know that the vinyl scratch sound is indeed from vinyl, even though most would never have touched a vinyl disc. Dead media, but the metaphor is still fresh enough...

I suppose this is of special interest now since Poland, a NATO member, got hit by what sounds like an errant missile from Russia recently. [1]

Reading the first part, I think the best thing that could happen in the event some big red buttons get pushed is that if you're next to a military base you're probably going to be vaporized along with it if you can't evacuate. Trying to survive that kind of thing sounds way worse.

Not most of the dead though, one certainly wouldn’t envy the guy that died an hour ago after days of radiation poisoning or starvation.
Certainly that's true of the overall sector. But crypto as a technology has some advantages and some disadvantages, same for traditional banking. People were arguing even before the crash that FTX was combining disadvantages of both.
How does Unreal compare to Unity in broad terms?
Realized profit? Or is the current value just above the value of the purchase date? I would believe the latter, as the value is still quite high.

However, realizing the profit is a different thing. That will work only for a few who invested early and deinvest early. Basically, btc is a pyramid scheme, the only difference to other pyramid schemes is that this fact is not obfuscated. Every investor knows that he is buying a fundamentally worthless good, but is hoping that someone else will eventually pay him a higher price.

That works well until the market is saturated and no one is willing to buy btc any more. Then, the price collapses.

Thus: even if most investors today have made profit, that simply means that the bottom of the pyramid has not been reached. At that point, most investors will have made loss.
I can see that argument for the Twitter team but does it apply to the Facebook one too? Is it just that the research they’re doing is so far from being productionised that it had no real value to management?

> And isn't the idea of flu shot that it prevents symptomatic infection?

I don't recall it ever being sold to me as that, and though I regularly get them, I've never gotten a flu shot with that expectation. It reduces your odds and makes the thing more mild. That's the point. That's what I've been told my whole life. They're not magic solutions to everything in your life, they can't even be 100% sure about how to tweak them for the dominant strains that season, but they help.

This stuff makes people go a little crazy with unreasonable expectations. I remember people complaining in pre-pandemic years ... "the flu shot is only x% effective so why bother?" And the reason has always been that x > 0, any two-digit number for x is pretty worth it, even if it intuitively sounds small. It's pretty similar for COVID.
Not saying that it is not true but those are just two photos on Telegram. Do you have something more?
This is basically animated version of this subreddit. It has an astounding collection of images like this. There are so many stories in every single one (most) of them.
For even more perspective, human breath can be easily composed of somewhere between 20,000 ppm and 40,000 ppm, and tens of thousands greater than that with enough energy expenditure. (I know this because I've actually measured this myself with research grade NDIR CO2 sensors)

441 ppm can be "a lot" depending on the gas and the expected effect. You don't want to breathe in 441 ppm of chlorine gas. But CO2 being fairly non-reactive makes 441 ppm of it relatively minuscule in contrast to the other predominant atmospheric gases. It's also nowhere near enough to cause outright catastrophe.
Interesting. FB also open-sourced Thrift and then promptly had fbthrift diverge instantly.
