Like the number of critical bugs they found and pushed the vendors to fix? Like finding bugs like Spectre that forever changed the chip industry's understanding of side channel attacks and subsequent designs?

Gosh, why? From any outsider's perspective, this gives Google P0 much more credibility to show that they are operating on equal terms and not playing a game favoring Google itself. This trust is the foundation of industry cooperation,

Anything math provable is objective. Anything depending on human opinions like "what's better code" is subjective, and thus suffers from replication.

Your logic is completely flawed. If there is a super AI with real intelligence that understands problems and codes it up for you, why wouldn't it be possible to go one step further and solve problems on its own? Why do you think that a

Geez, just because the current banking system also has risks in their investments doesn't mean they are the same as Tether. The amount of risks we are talking about is completely different. The US banks are backed by insurances, which

Nailed it. I don't understand why smart people on this site can believe in such nonsense. The fallacy of being blinded by ideology is such a strong weakness in human beings regardless of intelligence level.

That's just because you separated the less sexually attractive ones (to you or vice versa) into the "friend zone" and you don't want to mix them with the ones who you might want to have a sexual relationship with. But fu

He has an upcoming part2 of the video which he listed big round loop as one of the follow-up experiments. We should just wait for that.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and feelings. I really appreciate it since I have someone I care about who was in depression and suicidal and I want to understand more. Hope you find the inner peace and strength to keep you happy

Yeah, when we are two years into the pandemic, with 5.4 million deaths and over 280 million infections by COVID, with tens of millions of health workers globally working long hours and overtime in their sweat-filled protective gowns and gea

Just make it explicit already: "Test scores optional. Qualifications optional. Minority (non-White, Asians excluded) required.

Please read my comment above for the reasons why "we don't do business at all in your totalitarian country" actually doesn't achieve your ideal "human rights above profits" goal.

1) Yes, this article is about Apple's secret deal with China. But this is exactly the way deals are done in China. They are not going to be public about it and they are not going to admit that this investment has anything to do with ke

I thought the HackerNews crowd could do better than "Google/Apple/X is offering something censored / is complying with local laws / local government requests in China/Russia/X so it must be bad and they mu

People are just lazy, greedy, and never satisfied. After 4-day workweek is a norm, people would think working 4 days a week is a horrible crime against mankind by capitalism, and ask for 3-day workweeks, etc. This will keep going until the

This is so much bigger than just a rogue guy. So basically this is saying that the FAA just makes judgement and decisions based on documents and information coming from a chief pilot, without verifying or inspecting the codebase. This whole

People get fired for violating policies. A CEO is happy that the issue is handled. What's the problem with that? You can sue if the policy is illegal, but before the lawsuit settles, it is not. Don't push your current ideology bac

And why does he have to be nice to the people around him? To be a leader, he needs to say things other people can't say, or won't say. He is brutal, yes, but without this brutality, the products or teams or the company would be me

You are confused of being memorable with being artistic or valuable. I could scare you with a big TV screen showing dead bodies, and that would be the most memorable thing you see that entire month.

This is great! I wish they could have accounting and tax service included as well, which is an enormous pain for first-time founders.

Simple. Take a look at the dark net. Anything that exists there but not on the clear net is censored. e.g. Pro-nazi, anti-humanity, hatred, drugs, CSAM, extreme criminal information is censored from the clear web. Absolute freedom gives you

As an app developer, I'm shocked that people just don't get it. The 30% cut of in-app purchase that Apple/Google collected is NOT a payment processing fee and has largely nothing to do with payment services. It is primarily a

I'm not a Steve Jobs or Apple fan and I don't like some of his personalities, but to say someone is "an absolute disgrace of a human being", despite the fact that what he did inevitably revolutionized the entire computer

Terrorists killing innocent people, and Apple did nothing to help. But someone possessing 30 pics of CSAM would be so much more important that Apple needs to implement a whole new surveillance system to track down. The values and priorities

Let's take the classic example of a "racist algorithm" Image recognition using neural nets and examine what's going on. Let's say we train the NN using equal number of human faces of all races, and animals faces. Le

This part is legit though: governments around the world could pressure Apple to add other forms of surveillance. Be it hashes of non-CSAM, or simply pressure NEMEC or other hash providers, or extending its capabilities to all messages or ph

Don't blame Apple for this. Blame the liberal lawmakers and political advocacy groups in EU and the US who are pushing for regulations that force Apple and other phone makers to implement this kind of mass surveillance. It always start

The purpose of assigning one person to a task is NOT that the assignee has to do it all or know it all. The purpose is to have a single point of responsibility that oversees things and get it done. Assigning to multiple persons without clea

Let me give you a real-world example. China has a tight control over not only the currency exchange rate, but also the very action of exchanging or even withdrawing foreign currencies. The current policy is that you can only send/recei

People who think this won't happen or unlikely to happen need to look at where HK is at right now and what happened to HK over the course of last few years. Taiwan is a much bigger fish and has things like TSMC that China really wants&
