At the risk of some meta-irony, important to point out that Goodhart was an economist.

The headline on this had me very confused; surely not even Tesla would implement something like this without a crypto challenge-response in there somewhere? They did not. This attack relies on 2 devices: one next to the car and one next to

Odd to refer to Redis as a general-purpose database: "Hive is not meant to become a general-purpose database, like Redis" Assume that is an error and they meant to say MySQL (or similar)? Or I'm seriously misunderstanding som

I'm a long way from a (copyright) attorney, so I really don't know what I'm talking about on the finer points. In general, of course, the act of creating is what currently confers copyright. So if you write some code, for exa

At the risk of nit-picking, if the work was written more that 100 years ago, then the copyright has almost certainly already expired (barring some quite rare circumstances). Nothing preventing you from publishing it, and a useful forward or

And you can order a bound paperback book made from the scans of just about any out-of-copyright google book. From the Harvard Bookstore (or anyone else that has an Espresso Book Machine): https://www.ondemandbooks.com/as&#x2

Super easy to power a Pi from DC only. Many (most) USB ports will work (the amperage draw can be a bit much for some older lighter-style USB power adapters). The power draw from our dedicated device ( https://floathub.com/sto

While we don't have a standalone AIS hardware product, we do have hardware and software that lets you relay AIS data both to us and out to other vessel monitoring systems. More data here: https://support.floathub.com/hc

This title seems very misleading given the study described. They have found a correlation between some neurons firing in sequence and a list of words being spoken from memory. We don't have any concrete understanding of how memories ar

This is why the strict core of microeconomics never allows one to make interpersonal utility comparisons. As soon as you start to try and figure out "best" outcomes across groups (beyond ability to pay), it gets really complicated

Adaptation == Learning This was at the early stages of a lot of agent based modeling, genetic algorithms, etc., etc. And John Holland wrote a book called Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems[1]. The universality of the idea that &qu

Of course everyone comes at these things with different histories and different intrinsic interests. But I really enjoyed fundamental stuff like: * the concept of assignment implying _time_ and messing with the substitution model. * recursi

Learn LISP/Scheme and lots of fundamental concepts you probably have a feel for, but in a far more profound way: 1. First watch the SICP series ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J_xL4IGhJA&list=PLE18841CAB... ) 2. T

See how precious little I know about encryption? And yet even I know that ECB is a terrible choice! (In minor defense of self, I should have said CBC or "later").

That is truly amazing. I know precious little about encryption, but I assumed everyone knows that ECB is bad and that CBC is the only sensible way to do AES. [edited for typo]

At one point in Canada, it was possible to have three valid Passports. A regular one, one for travel to Israel, and one for travel to South Africa. Israel would give you a very hard time if you had visas/stamps from neighbouring Arab s
