Either we make life on Earth sustainable before that or we won't have enough time to develop the technology to settle on Mars anyway, so thinking of Mars as a backup Earth does not seem like a particularly good idea.
Yeah, I also never liked that kind of advice. For me personally just doing something that roughly seems somewhat interesting was usually enough - if you get good at something, the motivation can often follow. If I had…
I find it pretty hard to curate even interesting lists of researchers on Twitter without running into too much fluff or political tweets. I don't blame them for using the medium as it might be intended and of course…
I suspect some people are guessing that a multipolar world will be less interventionist (since the great powers might block each other from interfering too much) and therefore adventures like the Iraq war are less…
The problem is that reinforcement learning is far from solved and doesn't work all that well yet, so these toy problems are probably what researchers will stick with for some time to come.
There's certainly enough opportunity to work for a more peaceful world instead - scenarios where two large military powers clash should probably better be avoided anyway, so it's probably even a more productive use of…
While that may be the reality of things, it surely can't be a justification in any way. If anything, I'd be afraid to revert back to those dark times where technological advancements were driven mainly by military needs.
Didn't record labels complain some time ago that Spotify had supposedly commissioned music for its instrumental playlists (presumably to save money on royalties)? There's probably a danger that large record labels will…
Yeah, the figure[1] on the side in the article seems to show something different, because there the response goes over the recursive resolver again. Maybe the text is wrong? All seems to hinge on the recursive resolver…
While I like the distributed approach technically, it solves none of the social problems that social networks bring. Filter bubbles, propaganda and competition for users' attention with clickbait and other cheap stories…
>supports encrypted DNS as well as DNS over HTTPS Are encrypted DNS requests used by default? Does 1.1.1.1 somehow advertise to your client (whether it's a browser, the OS or a router) that encryption is possible? Do I…
Does someone have more information about how they implemented serializable in such a way that, as they claim, performance isn't negatively impacted? Seems pretty hard to achieve that.
As I understood it, the author didn't really claim that working at such a company makes you a god or super hacker, just that it might give you such a reputation among certain circles (not you, but others perhaps) -…
> You can't remove it with a software bandage Though some people might argue that the biases software reproduces will in turn reinforce biases held by the users at large. Conversely, you may reduce human bias if you…
I probably expressed that wrong, I was more wondering if the packet sniffing had any beneficial impact on the performance in the sense of QoS or congestion control or something like that. After all, they have to do it…
I love the concept of differential privacy, but it seems hard to incentivize the "data hoarders" to actually use it, even if you ignore the challenges of building real-world differentially private systems. Google and…
Did banks and other network operators who require monitoring their traffic just deem the MITM proxies too expensive or complex, or what was the reason for their protest?
Machine learning models leaking private information is a real problem though, unless mechanisms to ensure something like differential privacy are applied. Those approaches may still be too theoretical and hard to reason…
This seems to be one of the less surprising false-positives of Youtube's copyright detection algorithm. You match millions of hours of copyrighted material vs. noise, seems like you have a multiple testing problem and…
Fair enough, I wasn't aware of the original meaning since I only came across it multiple times on the web in this drawn, comic-like form.
Why do you think companies jumping on some hype train is indicative of much at all? For Bosch, for instance, it was the VC part of the company making an Iota investment - I'd say investing in unproven tech is their…
>The cryptocurrency adoption has steadily increased so far. For speculation and investment, not for anything currency-like, though.
The overwhelming majority of people use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through exchanges, they have no interest or knowledge of technical details. So it's not like technical communication has won here, more like…
Maybe linking to the study itself instead of a pro-GMO lobbying site or at least to some popular science news without an agenda would be the safer choice.
I don't disagree with you in principle and I don't think it's at all clear that the Russian boogeyman had the significant influence on election results in the west that many media outlets pretend, but at the same time…
