It seems like a counter productive strategy to advertise this kind of attack. Though it may benefit humanity by influencing politics domestically, letting the war hawks feel like something was done to quell the beating of the war drum.

Found it quite enjoyable just to flip through it for a bit. On the last page bottom right, I was bit surprised to see a sketch of a penis in various degrees of tumescence, done in overlay sort of like The Vitruvian Man. Call it The Virtuvi

So I shared the video with a friend yesterday. To my surprise they were not convinced. Which makes me wonder if it breaks down for very adept lip readers.

This was more interesting than I expected. Who knew that many architectures have a flag that indicates that a float values is inexact, but that no language exposes that to programmers. Or that IEEE 754 isn't really a standard as much

They mention that they "manually injected into open source C source (spell, unhtml, spell++, bc, gzip). I also ran Inferbo on some internal Facebook code and Inferbo generated alarms in the third-party C source(e.g. open-ssl)." Th

I'm impressed with the direction they've laid out. It is great to see a deliberate effort is being made to make the language easier to learn and to strengthen the community's ability to leverage shared code.

Thought experiment: do you think some part of your job will be automated before or after hospitals automate away 50% of their medical staff?

Not so sure we are going to see an automation completely replace doctors. Just look at all the problems both technical as well as social in the self-driving cars arena. There lot more people are qualified to be drivers than to practice med

Are you sure about that? I would think that the patent wouldn't apply to non-commercial investigations or research. That is you would be free to synthesize or extract this chemical in a laboratory environment. However, if you wished

Isn't that just a fancy way of asking "does there exist a more concise proof for this theorem?" That is to say wouldn't we rather assign a kolmogorov complexity to a theorem instead of a specific proof for that theorem.

Does this guy actually think he's funny? He really fails at humor straight out of the gate. It's hard to even focus on what he's trying to convey because his "humor" is so cringe worthy.

This how-to is pretty great, hilarious half truth (toasters do have USB microcontrollers) / half smoke-and-mirrors. Isn't that game of doom on autopilot there at the end?
