At Caltech, a group of researchers led by Assistant Professor of Bioengineering Lulu Qian is working to create circuits using not the usual silicon transistors but strands of DNA. I just sneezed a NAND gate

Bots appear to behave differently in culturally distinct online environments. A new paper says the findings are a warning to those using artificial intelligence for building autonomous vehicles, cyber security systems or for managing social media. Yo mamma was written in VB

Quote: The average time between successive reverts for humans is 2 minutes, then 24 hours or one year, says the paper. Why wasn't I informed that the meaning of "average" has changed?
Glad I don't have to read the whole paper.

have an 's'. Clearly the author's describing a multimodal distribution with 3 major peaks.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So I'll need "p", an "e", an "a", and a "k", to go along with that "s".
If he wanted to say "the peaks averaged at~~" then that's what he should have said.
If people don't speak/write clearly, when explaining complex things, then their explanation is worse than no explanation, because you can't trust it.

Good article on the Wikipedia bots in The Guardian[^] today.

I think this could be restated as:
"Humans are violent social primates oriented toward dominance hierarchies, and the acquisition, and defense, of territory.
Computer bots, created by humans, imitate their creators."

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

The world of job interviews for these experienced (or older) developers is a world of subtle discrimination and having to explain why their skill set is still valuable, despite it being labeled as obsolete or outdated. I'm not old, I'm ripened
But not ripe.

A new study finds that tech reporting is generally more pessimistic now than in the past, and for two very different reasons. You see? It's not just me.
|
|
|
|

How in Hell is anyone expected to report optimistically about the antics of ms, google, etc?
And look how long it took for the technophobe card to be played.
When that's the knee-jerk reaction of twats who don't know a tenth of what we know about computing, do they really expect us to be all sunshine and lollipops?

You can already use Visual Studio 2017 for Coroutines, Modules, and Ranges through a fork of Range-v3. Now you can also learn Concepts in Visual Studio 2017 by targeting the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). In case you're unclear on Concepts

If you've got an air-gapped computer, it might be time to cover up the hard drive's leaky flashing LED lights. Of course, if you let drones fly in your server room, you've got bigger security problems
"If an attacker did manage to infect an air-gapped computer, they could steal data semi-remotely..." Kinda big 'if' on that 'security problem'.

Is it the first of April already?
What an absolutely moronic "discovery".
"Hey, I've got a great idea! Let's get access to that air-gapped server, so we can install and configure malware on it, then we can spend a day or two at the server's KVM, grabbing secret stuff, and then sit in front of the server with a bulky ultra-high-speed movie camera to read the data off really slowly!"

Google’s Jigsaw unit, as part of a larger effort to battle online trolling, said earlier today that it was releasing a new tool called Perspective, software that uses machine learning to detect harassment and abuse online. Does it report this as "fake news"?

The SHA1 collision is documented in a research paper published Thursday. It presents two PDF files that, despite displaying different content, have the same SHA1 hash. The researchers warned that the same technique—which costs as little as $110,000 to carry out on Amazon's cloud computing platform—could be used to create collisions in GIT file objects or digital certificates.
Saying it's dead - as opposed to saying it should be sent to the great server farm in the sky - is overstating it. We all know a decade from now that along with MD5, and plaintext, SHA1 password dumps following breaches will be horrifyingly common.

Next time, they should warn us with a files count limit as well, not just the bits it uses.

Except Freddy, that's used by the system.
