Can we fingerprint fingerprinting code and block it? At first glance it seems like code accessing all kinds of unrelated high entropy APIs should be something detectable. But then static analysis might be too hard in face of obfuscation so

And the same seat and correct mirror positions? Sure, it is not impossible, but I have a hard time imagining that one would not notice driving away in the wrong car.

by danbruc 4y ago
How can you not notice that you are in the wrong car? Different people have different stuff lying around in their cars. Stickers, scratches, dents, dirt. Cars smell differently.

I think programmers find double-entry bookkeeping counterintuitive. It feels error-prone. In programming, you keep a single source of truth. Any time you copy the same data to two different places, one of them is always wrong. In essence

You misunderstood me, I did not want to say that you can have some partial end-to-end encryption, I meant that not outlawing end-to-end encryption does not mean that you do or can do nothing against illegal content, i.e. there are other way

I would guess that there are, to a first approximation, two groups of people - those consuming child pornography and those producing it. The consumers are probably the much larger group and to a certain extend one could maybe even call them

by danbruc 4y ago
But I suggest that the depraved individuals who consume such materials are already used to being outliers [...] The perception of those people also has to change. I would guess most of them will not have made a conscious choice to be attr

To add to this, there is probably a huge spectrum, from people secretly taking pictures of naked children at the beach which you might never even become aware of to yearlong abuse and rape. And one should not lump them together to get to ge

Which always makes me wonder, what is the extend of the child pornography problem? How big is the nail compared to the proposed hammer? If I had to guess, I would guess this is hammer affecting 80+ % of the population to go after a group co

You are confusing two things. Usually you represent decimal numbers as rational fractions p/q with two integers. If you fix q, you get a fixed point format, if you allow q to vary, you get a floating point format. Unless you are repres

I hope that guy is wrong, what is even the point of developing AI if it doesn't make us all unemployed eventually?

Is there even a need for commutators, could you not always use slip rings and electronically commutate within the rotor?

I said nothing no to the contrary, I just said that I think that YouTube incorrectly flags those videos and that the police is exploiting this. If YouTube was better at analyzing the videos, then the algorithm would conclude that the video

I need a license from LEGO if I am making a film where in some scenes a child is building a LEGO set? This sounds quite frankly completely ridiculous to me and I have a hard time believing it. Also the police thing does not really seem rele

Another fun fact. It is quite expensive to license some games to show in TV/Movies. What is the logic or justification here? It would never have occurred to me that you have to license games if you are filming in an arcade. Do you ha

Which they could also do if there was no patent to begin with. If you want different outcomes for different patents, then the point from the original comment will not help. If you think some patent blocks everyone from implementing a good i

Isn't this perfect then? Once someone can actually implement it, the patent will have expired.

That would require the AI to perform at a superhuman level.

Those fields are a mathematical tool to describe what is going on in a specific way - for example making the local character of particle interactions obvious - but there is no evidence that there are actually any fields. Quite the opposite,

You can find quite a few lectures by Nima Arkani-Hamed on YouTube including some on the amplituhedron. But they are mostly not gentle introductions and require some knowledge of physics to follow along. I think this one [1] provides a lot o

I would hope that it is not only being able to afford a replacement, taking care of your stuff not only saves money but also avoids waste and saves resources.

There is certainly truth to the claim that the brain abstracts over the raw sensory input. Reading, for example, would be a much more intractable problem if you had to do it in terms of photons hitting your retina instead of first abstracti

The third parameter, I would argue, is a bit wired to begin with. If you need the entire collection, then you are probably doing more than map(), and if you really need it, then you could probably just close over it. But with that somewhat

[...] and a typed language wouldn't help there too much. That would be impossible in a typed language. The argument of map() is supposed to be a function with signature (T, Integer, T[]) -> R and parseInt() has signature (String,

I guess you could parse the sentence in a way that it is correct. The find by SDO extends a series of interesting space observations started by JWST. But that would be a somewhat weird point to make, so I would agree, they probably though

It does not only take up space on disk, you also have to load all that stuff into memory, which costs time and money. You might make your caches less effective which costs performance or more money for larger caches. You have to download up
