You're right that hands are on the scales of the algorithms. But if this is a psyop I think it's going to backfire. Labour theft, power imbalance and unfair employment practices eat away at the foundations of the social contract.

A quick workaround might be getting it to generate the code it thinks should be in that library. (I get tho that you were just reiterating that it makes stuff up, not looking for solutions).

I don't get the argument since when it's no longer economic it will presumably be shut down. Personally I don't think the "perfect substitution" argument is that great in the first place (since it fails to take into

I guess the way I would put it is, when someone is providing "extreme" value to you, you know that's not a sustainable relationship and you have to start making other plans. If the terms aren't economic for both parties,

I agree with your general point but feel that the Netherlands are a poor example to use given their history of colonisation in Africa.

Yes, I think this is reasonable. I would also like to take a moment to reiterate why so many people are bitter about the marketing / admin angle: I pay them money. Charity pays consultants to turn that into more money (plus admins to m

You could queue it up to send chunks of reassuring alibi video (or checksums of same) while you are doing your murders or crimes. Put another way, the possibility that you could have done that renders the timestamping useless.

Thanks all. My "usual go to" answer for this (protecting data where you'd like to hash it but there's not really enough entropy) is in a sibling comment. Agree, all the data being public already renders everything a bit

Could you explain those benefits please? Please accept my genuine apologies here, I think I must have crossed some wires / be operating under different assumptions / be talking past you somehow. To clearly state my position, I bel

Then why not publish all the phone numbers in clear.

We had to meet a similar requirement and used hardware anchoring. Instead of a hash, think of a keyed HMAC style operation where the HMAC secret is inside an HSM. HSM operations are handled by a separate team than webapp. Key is not extract

I think it's riskier to depend on external technology for child production. Not just at the first level (the "womb" part, the monitors, the process controllers), but at the second level, for the inevitable variety of complex

These researchers seem to think Spirulina improves the health of b12 deprived mice: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31502254/ - the result looks pretty solid to me. The same group tested Chlorella in another paper, sam

It hardly matters in practice because nobody does this, they use the AWS SDK.

While archaic, ISBN doesn't seem a bad system to me. Short values are more reliable in retail situations. They can be typed in by hand or read with cheap scanners. You are of course free to publish without an ISBN if you don't car

Without some way to capture value it would also be one of the biggest acts of capital destruction in recent tech history.

There is zero chance this would have been accepted for publication in any serious journal. Alina Chan's paper got stuck in review for nearly 2 years. I think the authors were smart to solicit feedback in public, even if it's messy

Entities should not be multiplied without necessity . Put another way, the simplest explanation that fits the available evidence is most likely to be correct. At this point it seems to me that a lab origin that superspreads at a market l

The statement from the national gallery is a bit ambiguous (glazed could mean either thing). The protesters state it was "behind glass".

What data makes this extremely unlikely? Worobey and Pekar are hardly convincing.

The researchers could not be sure of this result before they did it, which is why I believe there's a reasonable case this should be considered GOF work even if the lethality of their chimera (in hu mice) was ultimately less than that

Mostly agree, I prefer k8s to learning the custom duct tape for every project. Observation: a side effect of being extensible is that people deploy extensions. There is some kind of law of complexity budgets, where if you make the simple th

For apps that are not successful, the entire output is waste, and the majority of the emissions burden is carbon output of the developers. For work of speculative value (most startups...), optimising for dev efficiency is IMHO the right thi

Smart way to get plausible deniability for your own grey zone activities. As a third party, of course absolutely experiment but don't rely on there being no logs, lol.

Possibly the ThinkPad X13s is what you're after? Or laptops don't count (I guess you did say desktop). If your definition of PC is "runs Windows" there's a business reason Apple silicon doesn't. It's rumou

Can I get a citation on this please? AFAIK, China exports a lot of machine tools, factory equipment and are known as a place you can outsource production of tools, dies, molds etc (which are then exported).
