Do explain what you meant it to be.

Well, one of us is probably that indeed. > how is that justification to get it "flagged and taken down"?!? Posts that are likely to result in flames generally are.

You're really asking if a user would want a program that fails a fifth of the times? In some cases it might be better to have some crap right away and more cheaply, but even you would probably not like a 20% failure rate in most of the

This is meant to insult AI skeptics, let's not pretend to be idiots. It should be flagged and taken down.

The point was to called AI skeptics apes, and you probably know it well.

I was indeed very surprised to see that it's from Dan Goodin I only read his articles occasionally, but they always impressed me favorably; this one instead... the paper is probably clearer even for less technical people.

Tangentially, does anyone know why so many of the (enormous amount of) papers accepted at this San Diego conference is from Chinese researchers? ( https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss2026/accepted-papers ) Has China becom

This is awful, they need to at the very least allow private archivals. Maybe the Internet Archive might be ok to keeping some things private until x time passes; or they could require an account to access them

They sure have archives of the newspapers, they're much less likely to have archives of what they publish online. And a local archive is one fire, business decision, poor technical choice etc away from getting permanently lost

Low budget? I seem to remember it was lauded (but made on Amigas, if I'm not mistaken) I sure loved it, at least on my crappy 21" tv

Indeed, I've been using the BOM in all my text files for maybe decades now, those who wrote the recommendation are clearly from an English country

Was it ever revealed what the 2015 warning about common commercial service agreements was about? Off the top of my mind I'd go with privacy policies: maybe their typical vagueness is exploited to the extreme, and rather than pointless

You should keep in mind that for a lot of things you can use a servicing contract, rather than hiring full-time employees. It's typically going to cost significantly less; it can make a lot of sense for small companies, especially.

Did the AWS part include the egress costs to extract your data from AWS, if you ever want to leave them?

It's astonishing and horrifying that he didn't even mention privacy. I thought we couldn't reach a lower point than what happened with social networks, but here we are. We need strong laws about this.

That's However much the code is hidden and obfuscated, some parts of the source code are going to be looked upon. For a binary, none , ever, except in the extremely rare case that someone disassembles and analyzes one version of it.

So, before sending a proposal I'd do everything possible to understand the reasons of the situation. You think you know who's responsible for it; just ask him You'll have a hard time at changing things without knowing the bac

You're sure that you have a complete log of all the drivers that were ever uploaded?

If it began doing it after an update, you know that it's better to check if it's supposed to do it

That's at the very least harder and less likely; security is not all or nothing.

You're sure not vetting any byte of an executable, so building from source is safer.

First, it wasn't even the developer who compromised people, here; second, scripts in most cases are orders of magnitude less dangerous than a windows executable. And, in many cases you can get some protection from a developer going rog

Well, I didn't say that if it is a violation, we're safe and there's nothing to worry; I was honestly just asking for confirmation. I've long been skeptical of the US constitution and the supposed checks and balances, an
