The handwavy explanation is you can enumerate a list of all the turing machines. You run the first one for one step, then you run the first two for two steps, then the first three for three steps, etc, until one of them halts. If P=NP, this will happen in polynomial time, which gives you the algorithm you need.

Yes, I agree, but Rapid7 does not normally do that.

They do this with good faith as far as I have seen. The issue as I see it is that JetBrains decided to stop communicating, eliminating the “good faith” on their end.

Is Apple trying to get fined? They're not even hiding the fact they're maliciously complying.

For one, this makes deploying a free app on an alternative store (that becomes popular) simply impossible? I highly doubt that was the EU's intent.

Usually with malicious compliance you can at least see the logic for a future legal case. Here, if they were trying to lose a future case I don't think you could do worse.
I disagree. It looks like they're fighting for the rights of US citizens. If you were one of the millions of people who use and like the app, you might feel the same way.
Idk just making many more things than humans could possibly filter is worse to me? A volume of content which is impossible for humans to sort through, which occasionally have something incredibly disturbing in them, generated by something fundamentally incapable of understanding and empathy. Things can be much worse than 'kind of boring'. It's sad that AI will probably be used more often for kids content at first because lots of parents don't really pay close attention.
It seems to me nearly every story about robots that gain sentience in human storymaking has them eventually turning against their human creators. Even the word robot itself comes from a Czech play were men develop an artificial human and these "robots" then ... usurp and destroy their creators. Am I the only one that finds this interesting and odd?

I also suspect this narrative repetition is not totally unrelated to the current popularity of AI Doomerism.

And that highlights the main goal of GrapheneOS - a security hardened mobile OS. (Note that better 'security' doesn't necessarily also mean better privacy protection).
In recent versions of C++, circa C++17 but especially C++20, it has become possible to build an alternative implementation of the language from within the C++ that makes a different set of guarantees and tradeoffs. This comes at a cost of no longer being able to use the standard library, particularly the vast legacy parts.

This is how I expect the issue to be addressed because there is too much invested in backward compatibility. Some C++ development, usually around high-performance high-reliability systems, already operates this way to a significant extent, using an alternative re-spin of the language primitives from the ground up that make stricter guarantees and enable greater composability and verification. C++20 in particular makes a nice base for building this.

You won't be able to force people to do things in a rigorous way, but providing a complete alternative goes a long way toward enabling safer code. I've seen alt standard C++ reduce bugs by an order of magnitude in real code bases (generally, since memory safety bugs are pretty rare in modern C++ in my experience).

* Glitter -> Sounds familiar but it's not coming to mind
* Tendermint -> Consensus engine for blockchains, forms part of a toolchain meant to enable interop between blockchains alongside the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) Protocol and the Cosmos SDK

The blockchain ecosystems really are their own little world unto themselves. It's all pretty cliquey, not in an exclusionary way but if you're not actively seeking it out then there's very little chance of you hearing about any of it.

Side note: IPFS is well worth checking out if you're interested in databases or decentralized zero-trust systems, and even if you're a blockchain skeptic. They're doing some really interesting work under the hood. The team hasn't latched on to the gold rush mentality the way so nearly all blockchain projects have.

Saying it was fixed in two of the three C++ standard libraries is irrelevant, the language standard itself specifies that the behavior is undefined.

This would be like saying C++ the language fixed buffer overflows because GCC added bounds checking. Most sensible C++ developers know that you should not depend on undefined behavior to write correct software, and yet your argument that because some implementations (not all) have decided to provide semantics for this, that it's now okay to use it or no longer a problem.

And yes, I have a games backlog that I won't finish in my lifetime. Thank 90% off sales :)

My five year old watches some YouTube under supervision, and the algorithm has been recommending a new variety of "quiz" videos that are partially or entirely AI generated. It's usually around a theme, such as Super Mario Brothers, and it asks open-ended questions like "Would you marry him?" without revealing the "him" until after a countdown. Then it shows an obviously AI-generated image of a character such as Bowser.

Another variation asks the viewer things like "which car would you pick?", with options to select the "black", "white", "rainbow", or "gold" gift box, then after a countdown shows a grid of AI generated images corresponding to the colors, where one color seems to be the intended "correct" answer, but it is left to the viewer to decide.

These videos are dumb and lazy, and I'll bet they'll become a lot more common soon.
The lack of practical constraints on copying bits is exactly the rationale for the statement.

Since the cost to copy information (once the original bit patterns have been crafted, which process is, as you point out, typically costly) is close to zero it becomes regressive to charge for copies of information.

Clearly we should pay handsomely those who develop the original useful information.

- - - -

edit to add:

Sorry, I realized I was just paraphrasing the clip, and you probably already get it and are asking a different question, something like, granted that copying information is very cheap, still why should we just freely give each other useful information? Eh?

The answer there is that we're all in this together and we have serious challenges to face (climate, plastic and other "forever chemicals" and pollution, crashing of the marine ecosystem by destruction of plankton resulting in widespread famine (we eat more fish meat than all other animals), asteroids, etc.) and so we should do our best to accelerate our capabilities and power-with-wisdom to cope with it all.

> we should not valorize OS/2 as an operating system foundation.

I think we should, because we should consider the timing here.

> The kernel in NT is far superior.

Sure it is, but it came along 3 years later, at a time of very rapid industry progress, and it really wanted a Pentium with SCSI disks and 32MB of RAM to work half decently.

I know: I specced, bought, installed and supported the kit, and the OS, in production, in 1993.

Whereas OS/2 2.0 was a perfectly good, capable, multitasking 32-bit OS that ran usefully in 4MB of RAM on an IDE -- not EIDE, plain old sub-504MB IDE -- disk, and it was running in 1990. If MS hadn't killed it, it was nearly ready for launch. Networking and all. That is the point of the article.

> with a better more VMS and/or Unix-like CLI driven user space and multiple vendors offering systems somehow.

DEC could have had that, had it wanted, but it wasn't its business model.

But DEC blew a billion dollars on trying to build the VAX 9000

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAX_9000

... while ignoring the RISC chip and OS for it that its own OS guru was developing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_PRISM

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_MICA

So he went off and built the OS for Microsoft instead.

Somehow it managed to salvage Alpha, turn it into a product and sell it, with its former guy's OS running on it, and it also managed to port its VAX OS to Alpha and sell that for a while.

But it wasn't enough.

Compaq, already a pawn of MS and Intel, bought DEC, handed over the industry's fastest RISC chip to Intel who killed it, and failed to sell the OSes or hardware effectively, because they were just an upmarket PC cloner and didn't know what to do with it.

So HP bought Compaq, and HP also being a pawn of Microsoft, killed one of the remaining competitive bits: HP OpenMail, an Exchange-server compatible groupware server for Unix that was about 2 orders of magnitude more scalable than MS Exchange on NT Server.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_OpenMail

HP traded this for a next-gen sequel to PA RISC -- which turned out to be the dismal Itanium, of course.
What counts as "first" depends on what you consider "crowdfunding"

Charities and political campaigns have been collecting $x per person from y million people to pay for z since time immemorial. The term 'crowdfunding' didn't exist when construction of the Sagrada Família started.

And if you define 'crowdfunding' as 'the thing that kickstarter does' then looking at their 2010 homepage [1] it seems to be mostly short films, art, and a baking contest. There's a one listing seeking $500 to make an open source synthesizer you can fit to your bicycle to create music from your speed and acceleration, but that's pretty much an art project IMHO.

Kickstarter certainly seems much more important and consequential if you ignore the $300 student films and focus on the multi-million-dollar campaigns.

The US is an anomaly in drip-pricing sales tax at the register. It's normal for sales tax to be part of the list price. It's one of the things travelers to the US are frequently outraged by, as well as our "pint" glasses (16 oz) that are smaller than an imperial pint (20 oz) or metric equivalent.

As someone else in the thread pointed out, some locales do require that AirBNB and similar list prices with the fees included, and they comply in those regions. And not including tax is kind of a con when the rate can vary between states, cities and even parts of cities. Nobody can be expected to know the particulars everywhere they go, while businesses are legally required to know in order to collect.

Which maps perfectly onto how people would talk about similar work if it wasn't AI.

If I go to the library and read a bunch of books and journal articles to understand something, that's certainly research or education and not "stealing".

If I then use my understanding gained from that education or training to create a new invention, it's plausible that someone could "steal" information from my invention that I never intended to publish, and which was reasonably expected to be private trade secret information not available to others.

Facebook apps are still on Android store, Facebook users do not install the application from some shady store. The issue is that Apple is a greedy bitch, they do not allow the developers to put a text on theier app that would inform the USER that they have a CHOICE to purchase a book/DLC/music from a website.

See above I bolded for you that Apple is removing choices from the user.

> I have no idea why NT chose CMD.EXE as their command shell

Because the OS is a sequel and replacement to DOS, and so it has a DOS-like shell.

Speaking as a former professional VMS, DOS, Windows and NT sysadmin:

I preferred CMD to any Unix shell, and I still do. I had boxes to run. I am not a programmer and I don't want programmers' tools.

It is much more use to me to be able to do:

move *.00? oldlogs

And have it pick all files matching the wildcard and move them to the folder -- without needing to be told it's a folder -- than it is for me to be able to write shell scripts.
> I find it hard to believe that we’d be able to find a sizable group of people who wanted this

How do you think the Americas were settled by Europeans? These people decided that whatever their fate, it would be worth making the attempt. That's just the most recent, but history is clearly full of a group of people deciding that the horizon demanded to be investigated. Otherwise, we'd all just be massed together in what ever the current belief on where humans started is at the moment.

The call of the wild, the sense of adventure, exploration, or whatever you want to call it is part of human nature.

> Imagine the nightmare scenario of someone changing their mind partway through the mission

Yeah? And? So? You think people moving from Europe to the colonies didn't get cold feet? Hell, as times get hard, it's only natural to wonder WTF you made this decision. Those people will probably be culled from the herd so to speak. It's only a PR disaster because people like you sound like without the sense of adventure and too meek to do anything other than leave their house for work. Just because someone else is much more bold than you does not mean that you should prevent them from doing it because you might feel uncomfortable upon hearing about something.

When you consider that children already watch trash on youtube, then yes I agree that there is no reason to get worried about anything. But the entire concept of letting your children watch trash on youtube is worrying.

Not having children myself it's easy for me to say that everything on the internet should be treated as if it was 18+ and therefore children don't belong on the internet. Period. Especially not on their own. There are exceptions of course like websites that are highly geared towards the education of children but youtube (kids) in it's majority is not that.
