ah, hehe, yes indeed. Thank you, auto-correct

Reminds me of my work with CryptDB. A framework to run SQL queries over encrypted data: https://github.com/CryptDB/cryptdb

One important fact about homomorphic and other encryption schemes you can calculate on: It leaks information! E.g., if enc(x) + enc(y) = enc(z), you gain the knowledge that x + y = z. With enough data, it’s easy to obtain the unencrypted data without the secret(s).

I’m almost certain that no country in the world wants to loose control over their currency. Especially not the US. The only thing that could happen is that they underestimate it and it becomes too big to fight it. Also, FB will probably bribe - eh, I mean - lobby some politicians. It works for Intuit :)

I switched to the FF extension “tree tab”. it’s more our less the same, but it has groups (like these chrome groups) you can select on the left side of the tree tab

Please educate yourself on statics and read the paper. Obvious points:

- It’s a pre-print

- Not reviewed

- Way too small group sizes to be meaningful

“ Age distribution according to the severity at admission was homogeneous between HCQ and non- HCQ treatment groups when the clinical picture was mild (57,6 years HCQ – 58,4 years non-HCQ, p=0,865) or moderate (63,8 years HCQ – 70 years non-HCQ, p=0,269). ”

Those are some high p-values. Makes sense with a small control group of 43 people. This paper can be put in the bin labeled “no statically significance”

1) Microsoft took over 2) M$ migrates some ADO (Azure DevOps) features to Github (e.g., Github Actions) 3) If Github was not on Azure before M$ bought it (very likely, but needs citation) they will probably migrate to Azure at some point

Yay more mass surveillance. Interesting how they avoid to mention anything regarding cameras and face recognition on this website. Not sure if that’s even legal.

If shops adapt this, Amazon will have your name, address (credit card), a video of you and whoever you are with, and knows all the stuff you bought. Great for advertisement and law enforcement.

Those “AI chips” are produced by NVIDIA... (NVIDIA PX2) So, any car manufacturer could get the same in a short amount of time. Src: Working in that field

making the halting problem solvable if you have quantum entangled oracles that know everything. Welcome to complexity theory :) Reminds me of the proof that time traveling turing machines can solve the halting problem.

Pretty sure the same guy that tries to purchase and guess your password locked your account.

It seems to be relatively easy to lock someone’s account since they don’t check. Related: https://bitrebels.com/social/how-to-someones-facebook-shut-d...

Maybe Linus should update the docs: https://www.kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/kernel-locking/locks.htm... I think it would be useful to add a warning there.

If you don’t want a video of yourself in the Internet, don’t make a video. I always assume that any picture I take can leak to everyone anytime. How naive can you be? Someone pays you money to have sex with a stranger (prostitution in my mind) and take a video of it. And she really thought they wouldn’t sell the video?

I’m still waiting for a Python fork with a static type system :) One step closer.

Sounds familiar to NIO. They raised a total of $4.1B. This whole electric hype is interesting to me. Why is it better for the environment? In the end you drive around with however the power from the grid was produced. Even in California that’s only one third renewables. Most is natural gas and nuclear. So, your electric car is driving around with natural gas with an efficiency way worse than petroleum. Besides, disposing the batteries is an issue. Also, the required rare earths might become an issue (especially because China kind of owns the market).

If you use computer generated images to teach your networks, you have a nice network for computer generated images. It might be good to pre-train a net (instead of random weights), but you still need labeling of real world images. E.g., a guy once trained a self driving car model in GTA 5. I’m sure this algorithm won’t do great in the real world. But I already see an industry forming, promising to get rid of all labeled data. And there will be idiots believing it. That’s how all the Silicon Valley startups work. Unicorns on Powerpoint slides and an empty basket in reality. (src: living and working in the valley)

With keeping they mean “immigration” and with “AI talent” they means asians?

"The problem with linearity is that the time to return the correct position grows exponentiality with the size of the dataset and of the position of the value to be found"

Eh...what? Linear = Exponential growth?

Did you just upload Comcast’s code to your site, made it publicity available, and glue a GPL license to it? I wouldn’t be surprised if Comcast will try to sue you for that.

If you want privacy use TOR+VPN. TOR for anonymity, a VPN for a “clean” breakout IP. Oh, and make sure to pay for the VPN using a form of anonymous payment. And, make sure that your devices won’t give up your identity.

Anonymity is actually pretty hard...

Hmmm maybe sth like “Please don’t eat my food” :) I guess the request should be clear also when I say “I don’t like that you eat my food.”

I wonder why nowadays you have to be ultra-PC with everyone. If everyone gets used to that, won’t everyone’s sensitivity for non-PC drop? I feel like we’re creating a generation of people that can’t take a punch anymore.

the requests all sound very passive aggressive to me. eg, “ would you be willing to only eat the food that you buy?”

"UNEXP_CONT=$(ls sandbox/..." this will ignore hidden files. So does the "rm -rf"

And that's why you should flash your router with an open source firmware, such as https://dd-wrt.com/

We replaced our daily standups with a chat room. Now, everyone can come in whenever they like and the “standup” can happen totally asynchronous.

my (conspiracy) theory after watching some house of cards: No end2end encryption before the US election 2020 🇺🇸

oh no, they found the NSA backdoor :(

Communism!!!
