I think this might have been true in the past, but I don't think it is true any longer. Zoom grew at a wild pace during the early days of the pandemic, and with that came security issues. However, they recognised that and invested into

Thanks for the detailed reply! The Greaseweazle looks good and is inexpensive. I think I’ll get one. :)

I have a bunch of 3.5" floppy disks from my BBC Master, which date back to late early 90s. Will the data on them still be ok? If I bought a Kryoflux or similar device would I be able to access and save the data?

This was fun. :) I feel like there should be another scoring axis rather than just time. I think selector length would be wrong, but something like selector complexity, or how robust the selector is to updates. I scored 3m 50s, but felt lik

In 2017 I found a security issue with the Tesco website. It was a minor security issue, but I could see they had _attempted_ to stop people doing what I could do. I did manage to find an email address, but I got a templated response, and wh

Yes, I understand that, but how do I _know_ if I am using this functionality? In this case, it is the ability for an app to install and execute arbitrary code that hasn't been reviewed. I download an update to DoodleJump and it install

I agree - I'd also be opposed. I understand why it frustrates people (especially in the cases such as iDOS 2), but it was a known factor for me buying an Apple phone. More importantly, it was an aspect of the ecosystem that I _wanted_.

In Information Theory, there is a concept of Channel Capacity. If a channel is defined as the probability of the output being s if you send a , across all possible values of a , then the Channel Capacity is the maximum amount of informa

Hah - thank you for sharing! That is very interesting that this emerged from two different approaches. I published my result years back, and have never heard of this emerging elsewhere before! Didn’t take it as accusatory [but thanks to chi

The approach I used was similar. The idea of maximising observed control of the world means you seek states where you can reach many other states, but _predictably_ so. This comes 'for free' when using Information Theory to model

Yes, you are right. I experimented with different time horizons, mostly look 3-7 steps ahead. In terms of the 'reward', that was implicit within the model - if the ghosts caught you, your ability to influence the state of the worl

Yes! Exactly - kiting. I didn't know the term but when I explained the behaviour I was seeing to a colleague they told me about this.

The method was called 'empowerment'. Two ways to explain it... From a mathematical perspective, we used Information Theory to model the world as an information theoretic 'loop'. The agent could 'send' a signal

Similar story of unexpected AI outcomes... As part of my PhD research, I created a simplified Pac-Man style game where the agent would simply try to stay alive as long as possible whilst being chased by the 3 ghosts. The agent was un-motiva

Alas, that isn't as true as German's tell me it is, I find. "Weg" <- how do you pronounce this? "Geh weg" (go away) "Der Weg ist da drüben!" (the path is over there)

Legitimate question, from someone who had just built an app (that will have a cost) that is a helper to Dropbox and has 'Dropbox' in the name. Where do you think the line is? There are several apps on the Mac app store that have &
