Nice, some initial remarks: - Sad to see it's an Electron app, but I don't want to start this flamewar all over again - Mid-sized CSV file opens fairly quick - If you want to build this into a full-fledged app, be prepared to hand

Agreed, that's why I mentioned "apparently", though it is what the NYTimes is referring to (although I guess they also have a bone to pick with the PRC).

Yeah, that last report specifically refers to Windows 8, in the context of energy savings (typical Chinese style, but still a mention of Windows 8, so I guess the Windows XPs, 7s and 10s would not fall under this). Anyway, lot of generaliza

> Windows had been banned from Chinese government computers in 2014 amid concerns about security and US surveillance. Really? Which ones? I see Windows running in the police station, DMV, ... "Government" is a quite broad term.

I didn't downvote you, but there's more going on here than just inferencing over a database of prior knowledge. The game is too complex for that. Compare this approach for instance to Monte Carlo based approaches which aren't

I hope the next focus for Deepmind will be on opening up the black box and trying to put some explainability aspects in place, as has been done before for other deep learning architectures (or at least, people are starting to play around wi

Did they? I was wondering about they'd unblock YouTube for a while for the Chinese livestream. So apparently this was not the case. There has been talk from Google recently that they're planning to enter China again, at least for

Very interesting. Does this really implement some intelligence/learning, however? Or is it just going over a list of known vulns like most scanners do?

So I was thinking recently... with Google (amongst others, of course) themselves pushing towards AI applications, it seems to me that many of these less-advanced* bounty hunts might perhaps be able to be automated with a fuzzer+scraper+AI b

Not really. All of these are mostly user agent modifications to pretend to be Chrome to make certain sites work, as well as some JavaScript event modification (with a similar purpose). The only "shady" thing is hiding the Chrome a

Good points. How about you the following though: driven by all the hype surrounding deep learning and AI, consultants are currently jumping on this new thing they can sell to management without understanding much of the intricacies behind i

Yeah exactly - last time I went through the trouble of setting up my own e-mail I decided it just wasn't worth it between PTR records, dmarc, and SPF. It's possible, sure, but takes away all of the old-fashioned enjoyment of quick

You probably now about LyX already, but I found it to be a very solid wysiwyg editor able to spit out tables, images, and formulas in plain Latex.

Totally agree, and very happy to see this statement at the top of HN. I'm against hyping up AI or misinterpreting it just as much as the next guy (especially coming from a position where dealing with a lot of higher-management people h

Likewise, Void takes some getting used to, though - meaning its package manager (I was used to apt-get). The manual partitioning also was quite cumbersome for me, even though I've done a lot of fdisk fiddling when I was younger. The ma

Alternatively, Radare ( http://radare.org/r/ ) is being adopted more widely as an open source tool to do similar analyses. Again: not-very-intuitive unless you know what you're doing, at which point it becomes very

That's what I ended up doing for a lot of my laptops as well. These things have become so small you barely see them taking up a USB port.

Maybe the $5 means hourly usage (which has a $5 fixed monthly storage cost) and then not actually using it? Strange indeed, but looks very interesting!

I wonder what this means for Chrome Remote Desktop: will it become integrated in Chrome itself? It's basically the only app (not extension) I use daily.
