It's funny to imagine how, very deeply ironically, it turned out to be a national security risk after all.

He for sure pitched this, but his team does not have the skills to create this.

Cynically, I think most people know this in this kind of situation, but like clockwork media sources will suddenly dramatize things for clicks, money, lawsuits, or politics, and people will nod their heads not because they agree with the ac

I suspect that this was the original plan, and that the ban was a bluff in order to incentive this. Thus why both Biden and Trump are "panicking" about it.

What a great answer for a fascinating subject.

I think for the purpose of this topic, we only care about the nutrition (to use your word) question. We can assume humans can intelligently bootstrap past the other abiogenesis problems. And surely this shouldn't be a difficult questio

I'm really curious to know the details here. What is the minimal set of dependencies for the simplest autotroph? Clearly there was an original self-replicating cell and it was successful, so assuming we constructed the necessary protei

Agreed that modelling it as a "pathogen" is missing the mark. But predatorless photosynthetic self-replicating gray goo that grows exponentially across the planet, resulting in a drastic change in CO2 and oxygen levels across the

I think the ostensibly scary subject here is mirror DNA or RNA , not anything-that-doesn't-self-replicate. > If bacteria haven't figured out how to use mirroring It's unclear bacteria have ever "attempted" it. T

Sometimes I wish HN had merit badges. Or if you like, a device to measure the amount of information contained within a post.

> But, I'll tell you that having someone show me a cell phone with my picture on it, nicely large and backlit and saying I'm 21, is a great solution to requiring people to present an ID that could come from one of 1000 places.

How is this different from showing a non-digital driver's license that says you're 21+? Underage kids borrow each others' driver's licenses, so they can borrow each others' phones.

If you're going with a "digital id signed with government keys", then we don't need a ZKP, we can just use digital signatures. A certificate from the government that says "the holder of this id is 18+" is all t

I really doubt any cryptographic primitive can solve this; what's stopping me from lending my "proof" to my little brother?

> pass program code + data to this virtual machine If you have to pass the data, then how can this possibly help solve, as others have said, scenarios that prove something about data without revealing the data?

This implies something: that AI could detect distressed plants. No? I wonder what signals are audible.

The US Treasury website logs you out when you hit the back button, and is very much a traditional website, not an SPA.

Obviously this tool is not going to generate a "ship"pable game for you. AI is a long way off from that. As for "design", I don't find it very hard to see how incredibly useful being able to rapidly prototype a game

Interestingly, the wording of this title painted a VERY different image in my head. Consider the difference between these two: 1. "Love being interrupted..." 2. "I love being interrupted..."
