Why would it be necessary for a graph requiring 5 colours to have a 5-clique (as it's called [1])? The western-US example in the OP [2] has no 4-clique, yet it requires 4 colours. (Try drawing out the incidence graph of the faces, i.e. a vertex is a US state and an edge is two states bordering. Lots of 3-cliques (triangles), but no 4-clique!)

Side note: indeed, 5-cliques are not planar: that is to say, there is no map you can draw that has five regions all bordering each other. This is not too difficult to prove, actually. Proving that 4 colours is enough is a whole different league!

Your point is taken though, tons of remote sensing signal you can fuse to detect malicious marine activity (I'd argue in real time). If you can detect the ship from orbit, and the AIS doesn't align with owner, cargo, and previously expected route (or there is no AIS), strange things are afoot.

If it’s enterprise, salesperson and VP of sales look up the company and try to guess how much they can pay.

Once I was cooling my heels in the lobby of Oracle and, looking around realized I’d had a stupid brain fart. So I opened my laptop and doubled the price of every line item in the quote (felt very high tech in ~1994). They complained about the cost, but paid. They would have complained about the original quote: complaining about the cost is the first step of negotiation.

I’m surprised there isn’t a service that takes the requestor’s email address (if it’s something generic like @gmail.com, DWIM-searches LinkedIn), looks them up in an in-house proprietary database, and sends you a score (a multiplier).

Someone should start that — it’s probably a quick flip to Experian.
They first could of hits on Google claim Oregon has a higher tax burden. Not by much, but still higher.
I had an very active artist page as a musician in several bands and projects for years. Many videos and photos and posters that I stupidly either didn't back up anywhere else, or it was scattered amongst other pages or hard drives. One day, woke up and it was all gone, the page was not there or any trace of it. I tried to find out what happened and never could and eventually gave up.
I'm often curious about how people organized / conceptualized development in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
As someone working a AI company with lots of AI in every slide I agree. But I see the reason differently. For highly thoughtful use cases the data is not ready. Getting that AI ready data will be a massive effort und change management needed for potential a low ROI. I believe that after a few attempts this is what most companies will see and course correct and for sure reduce the expense and that field and the bubble will burst.
The Taliban might be keeping more of an eye on the border than the previous Afghan government did, though, for that reason.
I didn't think the question was unreasonable as some suggest and couldn't find an answer in any of the replies to you.

Poking around, it's my understanding that double blind procedure only covers treatment allocation--that is, who gets the placebo or not--and does not exclude general experiment communication to patients. I imagine trial communication is something generic along the lines of "We're running a novel drug trial, help us gather more data for $50/shot."
Hungary is set to fight child grooming and exploitation, that is centralised in a few organisations. Very opposite from global dragnet surveillance to "protect children".

And as post soviet country, they are very strict about privacy laws, and protecting civil rights!
I think China's social credit system is just explicit rather than implicit.
I would like a way to pay for first-rate journalism in such a way that they don't track what I read. (So, no login accounts, plus they need to get rid of trackers in general, theirs and others'.)

I would also like first-rate journalism to be widely available to everyone.

Government-funded is difficult when we have obvious problems with too many bad-faith politicians.

Maybe a donation model.
Good points but neither of them rule out being reconfigured and used in an emergency, potential hijack situation to locate what could be a significant security threat. Airliners were used for the biggest attack on US ground since WW2. Priority number one.
Here's what I can think of for why not:

- Hard to predict/forecast recurring revenue (though it's additional revenue)

- Incentivizes click baiting for readers

- Requires setting up a "non-standard" billing system
Would FMLA or ADA have helped? I believe companies would have to justify denying you reasonable accommodations.
I have mixed feelings about the Financial Times. They are very expensive and often the title of the article leads you to believe you are about to obtain some deeper insight into a topic, but the article itself is often surface level at best and feels rushed. It’s better than a lot of other periodicals but not worth the price of entry.
Dragon has capability for a Hubble servicing mission. It would need more development than a Shuttle visit, but it's not a huge hurdle since the last visit installed a soft-capture mechanism. (It'd probably cost less than an equivalent Shuttle mission, just due to Shuttle's high launch costs.) SpaceX even prepared a proposal in a Space Act Agreement but NASA declined it recently. Sierra Nevada also has looked at doing it with Dream Chaser.

Sure, Hubble's way past its design lifetime, and it can probably limp along for another decade as is, and maybe something besides gyros will fail soon. But also there's no equivalent capability successor that's more than a study, and even if they manage to build HWO or something like it, it won't be operation for at least 20 years. A Hubble servicing mission would be a relatively cheap way to get a decade or two more time on a high-capability instrument.
> To my knowledge, the remaining cost could be decreased to approximately the same cost as a branch mispredict, but getting there would require changes to the chip hardware and software stack.

Do it even need to be a misprediction?

If you are completely focused on latency then flushing everything else makes sense. But I would think that if you continue execution for now and put a branch instruction into the queue you'd reduce the cost per interrupt even further.

Maybe this has changed in recent years, or it's different in the south or the west of the country where more "ultra-patriots" live, but it wasn't my experience at all in the middle of 2000s. We had to listen to the national anthem several times per year on national holidays, and perform other token gestures like that, but nobody took it seriously and these actions were relentlessly ridiculed.

Not because of lack of patriotism, but because of the synthetic and bureaucratic feeling of the whole deal.

So the parody misses the mark.

Borat is really about the US society anyway, they could have picked absolutely anything else and it wouldn't make a difference.

Own it and as soon as people see you don't care, they drop the subject. The joke was old ten years ago.
Not really related to the article but I always tell myself that one of these days, I will dedicate more time working on something that improves the lives of a certain group of people with disabilities. The trigger was a single simple sentence that I read a year or two ago: “Everybody is just temporarily abled.”
and lots of people are spending lots of time and money on AI Coding Assitants... which is more or less the knowledge base you need.

If they could use that structural training to answer queries like "Is there any code path where some_dangerous_func() is called without it's return value being checked"...
If you aren’t using GPT-6a then you are years behind.
> We ship working software: to users who find it valuable.

I agree that's what's most likely to bring you financial and reputational success, but I also think there are a lot of things people can and do sell that are various incarnations of snake oil, at best.

This perhaps gets a little philosophical, but: is it ethical to sell someone something they don't need, and doesn't actually help them, even if they believe they need it, and over time even believe they've been helped by it?

I think a lot of the applications of "AI" today can fall under that umbrella, given the "right" customer.
Credit unions and regional banks have historically been advantaged in the US because these types of lending institutions make up a disproportionate amount of rural and small business lending.

One notable feature of the banking system in the US is that it's relatively unconcentrated. Only three major banks hold more than 10% of deposits in the US, at which point the feds actively block bank mergers barring something exceptional, like JPMorgan Chase absorbing SVB to save it.

Pretty sure that's exactly what Clearbit does. Although now their site has some AI hype on it and I can't tell if that's just the obligatory AI marketing, or if they actually changed their product.

South Africa (study was in SA and Uganda) has an adult HIV prevalence of 18.3% and 210k new infections per year. It is easy to select a high risk group in which you would expect to see new HIV infections during the course of the study without intervention.
Not sure if it's true, but I've heard than WNT is VMS + 1, so to speak, with each letter "incremented". I believe the team behind WNT had previously worked on VMS.
Well everyone got what they wanted then. Dell wanted to make redundancies and cut costs without naming it that and people got better jobs with better flexibility. Win win.

https://github.com/venil7/react-open-architecture
Yeah I understood this, the issue I'm facing here is the following:

When I grant access to services/information based on certificates presented to me by a client, then I want to make damn sure that the certificate is not handed out to someone that shouldn't have it.

So reading stuff like this:

The server is stateless and doesn’t store any information about clients. The server is also unauthenticated, meaning that anyone can request a certificate.

I'm not entirely sure if I want that. Also I'm not entirely sure if I want to sign certificates w/o having any kind of log so that I can revoke those later.

Similar to this:

Operators use an out-of-band mechanism to verify and trust client UUIDs.

and this:

Place it behind a network-based protection mechanism (reverse proxy, secure gateway, firewall);

So I have to provide a mechanism that allows me to identify the client in the first place to then hand out certificates that are being used to identify the client. It feels like we're either producing a security problem (no checks, see above) or we’re fixing an issue we don’t have as we’re already able to identify the client properly, while that identification needs to be done by other means that usually involve API-keys, passwords or similar things.

Which one is it?

Don't get me wrong here, I'm sure there are certain scenarios where mutual or client authentication can only be done using X.509 certificates, I’m not denying that, I just don’t understand how this scenario should play out.
I clarified for people who didn't recognize the joke. Do you discourage that?

Understand AI Companies: Think Like a Psychopath
If you want to understand the decisions of AI companies, it’s pretty easy – just think like a psychopath. Safe Superintelligence, Inc. seeks to safely build AI far beyond human capability, according to Ars Technica but the decision smacks less of selfless humanity than it does ‘pivoting to avoid a market risk.’ No AI company has ‘human progress’ as a KPI, they have MARKET SHARE. AI is the new oil, and a lot of proto-robber barons are lining up to own the well.

If I’m being honest, I don’t care that ‘Ilya Sutskever is pursuing safe superintelligence in a straight shot, with one focus, one goal, and one product.’ Good for him, I still don’t trust him, nor do I trust any of these cats and with good reason. There’s a very narrow line between ‘visionary CEO’ and ‘criminal psychopath.’ Sutskever is on the ‘waiting and watching’ list until he proves himself one way or the other.

If humanity is going to get better, we need to act like we deserve it and stop taking ‘it’s gonna be okay’ for an answer. Prove it. Tell me how you know, tell me how we’ll know when we get there. If you can’t do that, then rushing your product to market isn’t going to make me feel better. Making me feel better about your product will make me feel better, but that would require you to have empathy for me, the customer. I don’t hear a lot of empathetic language out of ‘visionary CEOs’ and that’s a red flag.

When it comes to understanding the motivation of visionary CEOs, there’s a common narrative that ‘we can’t understand because we’re not geniuses.’ Then we get the bad news in a few years – the true motivation of these visionary CEOs is revealed and it’s a scattered form of greedy psychopathy (Looking at you, Elizabeth Holmes, Sam Bankman-Fried, Martin Shkreli, and now maybe Dave Calhoun). Their sad pursuit of growth at any cost is labeled as ‘part of the game of being a leader,’ but that’s an oversimplified excuse for lethally craven, cold-hearted behavior.
A while ago I watched this highly disturbing documentary produced by Vice about the prevalence of rape in the DRC as a weapon of war and terror against women. [1]. I have to imagine that this is involved, somehow.

I am no expert, but I do not follow. Nothing was added to the LCDM model there, so using the epicycle fallacy does not help the discussion.

The research was simply done again with better accuracy.
The syscalls involved are in a lot of sandboxes, so worst (or best, depending on your point of view) case scenario it's a pretty universal privesc. There's a lot of steps to get there though. I'm not super familiar with the mbuf subsystem specifically but I'm going to guess mbufs are in their own allocator zone. That means you're guaranteed to overwrite an adjacent m_hdr structure. Those contains pointers that form a linked list and at first glance I don't see linked list hardening or zone checks in the MBUF macros. One could envision being able to turn this bug into a kASLR leak as well as a kernel r/w primitive and while that isn't the silver bullet it used to be on XNU (because of a whole host of hardening Apple put in) it's still pretty powerful.

FMLA no because it's unpaid leave.

I actually was just having to navigate that/short term disability as I'm coming off missing about 3.5 weeks from an extended period of extreme unpleasantness that ended in me getting my gallbladder 86'ed last week.

ADA potentially but a lot of my stuff basically boils down to "being out of the house and active is both physically and mentally draining and more likely to get me sick with some random thing". So the reasonable accommodation is basically remote work (I'm a software dev, which is about as remote-friendly a career as it gets).
Reminded me of this too
>Agree with others that I’m left wanting for solutions to the challenges he so clearly articulates.

The solutions have always been the same, and that makes them boring.

Organize, vote, act, lobby, educate, learn.
That isn't relevant in the ASCII example, and the UTF-8 one uses a 256×256 table.
Another case of the political use of medical terms in completely unsupported ways for political goals. There is no medical or scientific support for the use of the word "addiction" in this context. It's a meme that's become more dangerous than the problem it imagines. It's not in the DSM 5 or ICD10 and not because they haven't addressed it in committee. They have, as recently as 2020 and found no support for it. And if you say, "gambling" well, yes, that's "gambling disorder" not "gambling addiction" and yes, words matter. Especially in legislation.

>“We’ve checked to make sure, we believe it’s constitutional.”

It may be constitutional but it certainly isn't scientific. It's closer to the for-profit use of medical ideas in "anti-gay" "de-patterning" camps and the like. Except backed by people with firearms and a tendency to use them without consequence.
> It's been death by a thousand command lines for me on Linux so far unfortunately.

That issue isn't solved by UIs, though. Things are constantly moving/changing colors/disappearing. That's why so many UI "redesigns" get so much hate, breaking user's mental models, etc.

> Would someone more determined have succeeded?

Nah, its not about determination. Command codes take memorization, sure. But that's mostly solved by search. Combine with a good library of scripts, and you don't need determination, just a little natural curiosity.

In case you missed out from the library metaphor, what do you do when you have some information that you want to access repeatedly? Use a bookmark.

You can't even do remotely the same thing with a UI, its all inaccessible nonsense-crap that takes eons to learn and then you still have to figure out the "hard" commands anyways (because invariably there's a bug or some feature it can't do).

Installing 20 guis or recompiling several programs from source constantly is a terrible way to operate. Commands, on the other hand, can be chained, they can be scripted. There's nothing approaching that level of usability in "gui" land. They're a waste of time in comparison.
It’s certainly on the governments radar, and they do have an interest in preventing it. Kazakhstan banned hijab in schools and engages in anti terrorism like you mentioned. But overall, the country has a large secular population (due to the Soviet Union) and the country practices a moderate form of Islam called Sufism. I would attribute this to their nomadic culture, which meant the Quran was more of an oral tradition for Kazakhs in the past. The difference between Kazakhstan and Tajikstan is that you can actually find daesh cells in the pamir valley of Tajikistan, while that’s not really a thing in Kazakhstan. Extremism in KZ has manifested as a few isolated attacks and a small amount of individuals who chose to travel to fight in the Syrian war. I spent 9 months in KZ last year and - visited mosques, talked to many locals in various cities and feel comfortable saying that Islamic extremism is rare there.

We need to think bigger. Having an app on your phone is like having a stranger in your house. The same legal protections that apply to property should apply inside the software that runs on your phone. An app should be at the mercy of the user and should provide easy (and automated) ways to turn off manipulative and surveillance features.
Im interested in hearing proper rebuttals and discussions of a piece that was written by an NPR senior business editor and reporter with a 25 year tenure at that institution.

Your comment is not that. It appears to either be dismissal by association or whataboutism, in both cases focusing on the outlet that published Uri Berliner‘s piece and not the content of the piece itself.

If it's really only the UI that's bothering you, why not use a web UI such as Open WebUI?
Regarding the zero knowledge proof, there'd be a chance that the two random ones you reveal are the same color, if three weren't enough.

So by doing this over and over again, if the two you choose are always different colors, you approach a 100% certainty that it's legit.

You never really get a 100% proof but the more times you repeat the closer you are to being sure. At 99.999999% after repeating this enough times, you'd most likely be satisfied.
I think this is true.

Unfortunately, the trade-off is that it compromises scaling. Are we happier with the universe where the way it works is that you get customer service but after a million users the next person to try and log on to Meta sees "sorry, we are at capacity for the amount of customer service we can provide, no account for you?"

It will lead to a bifurcated internet where you can't use the services your neighbor is using just because they are at capacity.

Seeing through clouds and smoke is impressive. What options do people have at this point to protect their own property from being seen from above? Massive tarps? Is full tree cover enough?

Civically we allegedly care about these topics, and note their solutions via remote work

- disabled accommodations: this article, and anecdotes from people we know in this situation

- finding some method for a dramatic enough state change in environmental conditions as to back up from disconcerting climate change barriers we’re pushing into: I can’t recall the specifics but within a week of COVID lockdowns and no commutes, carbon and pollution in atmosphere plummets

- preventing sexism, ageism, and other forms harassment at work: can’t sexually harass someone quite as easily in a fully auditable zoom/slack environment vs in office.

- accommodating parents and their child raising needs with policies that don’t come out of 1950: every working parent I know with remote jobs experience significant flexibility here.

- affordable housing space: office space conversions are starting.

The longer the debate goes on about hybrid/wfh and the above tangible proven benefits vs RTO for “The Collaboration” and “My Socialization Needs,” the more I speculate our society doesn’t actually care about the above topics, at all.

Or, if we do care, this should be called out over and over and over. Bc it’s not getting discussed this way.
