"Reversing" without "engineering" only makes sense if you mean that they were turned around on their route :P Otherwise "reversing" doesn't have a standalone meaning that I know that fits here.

Computers can't violate terms, not unless we start recognizing their personhood. They can't own accounts and they can't decide what content is shown any more than the rain can decide if my dog gets wet. So the notion of peopl

PhpBB forums are in the sweet spot of permanence. What's the easiest/cheapest way to test-host a forum? Discourse wants payments, which doesn't make a lot of sense for something that might not even get used. PHP, in my recoll

"Reverse engineering" is where you learn something about how a system works, especially nonpublic information. What you described doesn't have anything nonpublic or learned facts. Instead, it's a cooperation to fool some

Mathematical certainty is what to leverage, not what to fight. You'd use it before you run into the halting prbblem, not after. Just like mathematics was used to discover the halting problem in the first place. And what you're d

> There is one thing that developers like more than building things — and that is breaking things built by other people. Haha. This is not as universal as the author thinks. Every time I need to reverse-engineer something obscured on pur

Is there a guide explaining how to build such a distributable binary?

It's going to take a bit longer than 10 secobds to safely get close enough to such a strong radiation source as to take a clear picture or read a number.

A hardware timer is a monotonic clock, and at least one is built into any computer. With the advent of GPS spoofing, you can't really rely on GPS, either.

I don't know what's in the box. You don't know what's in the box. Yet you say it can't possibly be this - so prove it. It's really simple. I don't have to defend the box. I defend the right to say that w

I'm not so quick to attach a judgement to anthropomorphization. Well okay, I am, but not because I think it's wrong. After all, panpsychism has not been defeated as a philosophical standpoint [0]. Perhaps any-old-object in the wor

FireWire is a fundamentally different protocol, in that it has direct memory access. You have to treat it more like PCI than USB.

When that user has died or otherwise doesn't exist, then it's hard to blame them. The only remaining thread of blame leads to Apple.

Today, synthesizing viruses and modifying DNA is at the forefront of technology: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6171941/ For some reason, books don't talk about how humans are just like DNA

Who's to say that a brain is not a kind of a computer and that all humans are a sort of a computer program? Going from "computer program" to "not sentient" is a leap of logic I'd like to hear more about.

What are negative weights good for?

"Significantly" in statistics does not mean "reliably", but "confidently".

If we were able to jump from nothing to human, then there would be no need for a Turing test. We'd know that a not-nothing intelligence we create is human. The Turing test is an acknowledgement that we don't know what path takes u

If you measure AGI by its ability to be human, the only thing you'll be able to find find is a human. That means you will never believe in the consciousness of an intelligence that doesn't try to be human, no matter if a god, anim

It's absolutely difficult to tell that something is conscious. How many cancer patients laugh at jokes? Locked-in paraplegics? Have you heard a dog laugh at a joke? A crow? On the other hand, try small talk with your beloved dog and wa

Even if it tells us, will we believe it?

Turing test is a red herring. What property does it test? Humanity? Do we really believe only a human is worth attention? Not really, we are fascinated by animals and even machines. Or are only humans worth being scared of? Clearly not, gra

I've always seen all the language links in the sidebar without clicking anything. I can see how, if you have had a different experience, the new arrangement might seem less of a disruption.

Thank goodness they are not as hung up on having a button as it initially appears: "We are currently considering adding single-click functionality for the most-frequently used languages." Sadly, while that means that the overall e
