I did an interview with Google around 20 years ago, where they posed a challenge involving tracking which specific search results people click. It's obvious in hindsight the solution required rewriting all the urls to redirect through

Is that a coverup - eg. are they retroactively rewriting old comments - or are they simply jumping on this and trying to correct the problem? (Although I would say it isn't a very good-faith effort to address the issue if they don&#x27

A good start would be being more judicious about what sort of "characters" and functionality to include.

Why does a line of text need to include a flag in the first place? If you want an image, embed an image.

Sure, but there's a big difference between a handful (or a few dozen), compared to thousands of obscure code points. One I can learn, the other I need to dedicate an unreasonably large chunk of my life to fully understand.

Yeah I expect we're going to see a lot more "disposal code" vomited up.

I wonder if one could use a thermal camera (or some other, high speed sensor) and some kind of feedback loop to squelch it and keep it disrupted until it cools. Or conversely, manipulate the flame for more complete combustion (in industria

You trust that those layers work Unlike AI, those layers were traditionally compiled using deterministic tools. And generally came with a suite of other tools to trace and debug them. I don't trust AI in the same way at all.

Whoever thought it was acceptable to have a string of text that renders something unreadable or not immediately obvious to the human eye, was a complete moron. I realize ASCII was limited, but one thing I like about it is I can understand e

If I get even a whiff of AI smell from an email I receive, the sender gets permablocked. My attention is too valuable for you to insult me by subjecting me to your slop. Take the time for some human interaction. If it's not worth yo

It's great they want to find a projection that better represents the real geography, but at the end of the day you're still trying to unwrap a sphere onto a rectangle. Personally I feel the schools mentioned here would get better

A team of New York University researchers estimated in 2018 that the costs of just two forever chemicals, PFOA and PFOS — in terms of disease burden, disability and health-care expenses — amounted to as much as $62 billion in a single year

This is exactly the kind of reckless inaccuracy I've come to expect from AI.

Thank you for your thoughtful and eloquently crafted comment.

I appreciate the fact they were able to acknowledge the mistake and get over it. It was a ballsy move, done with the best of intentions, could have been fine, but near-catastrophically wasn't. Lesson was obviously learned, and both th

Thanks. Surely this was a performance hit even before Spectre? Also, any good technical resources that concisely describe FRED? I found this, which isn't bad but it's a bit more dumbed down than I'd like: https://

If I understand this correctly, Dropbox let attackers link unverified Lenovo accounts to unrelated users' Dropbox accounts, without having the user confirm first.

The end-user recording aspect makes this an absolute non-starter for me. Nor would I use any product implementing your tool. The way the industry is normalizing a complete abandonment of user privacy absolutely boggles my mind. And not onl
