  1. Training on CIA Plans To Replace Spies With AI (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    The usual scheme is to train IA with human gathered information. Once IA replaces human, how will it absorb new information required because the target adapts to new threats?

  2. The exploit allows them to take control of powerful website servers

    Powerful indeed, since you need huge resources to run Drupal decently.

  3. Late April fool's joke? on North Korean Leader Says He Will Suspend Arms Tests, Shut Nuclear Test Site (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    That story would have been a very good April fool's joke, but it seems to be a bit late. Perhaps traditions in Korea sets joke time on April 20th?

  4. If they get their own theaters, they can distribute their own movies in it, and then come back to Cannes festival

  5. Some kind of Hypercard for AI is the next step. Perhaps an AI could even produce it on its own.

  6. Right now, the kind of maneuvers that navigators would need to put a probe in orbit around distant moons are borderline impossible.

    Human space history is full of deemed impossible things that were accomplished.

    The real challenge nowadays is to accomplish anything within modern space industry Quality Assurance standards.

  7. US and UK can tell us about compromising internet infrastructure routers. Thanks to Edward Snowden, we know they are experts in that field.

  8. Unimpressive on Google's New Book Search Deals in Ideas, Not Keywords (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    That idea search engine is not impressive. I asked question in natural language, and since there were no additionnal keywords to narrow the search, answers were almost all the time relevant to fields others that the one I thought about.

  9. The Scientific Paper Is Obsolete on The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Innovation (nber.org) · · Score: 2

    We suggest that this is likely to lead to a significant substitution away from more routinized labor-intensive research towards research that takes advantage of the interplay between passively generated large datasets and enhanced prediction algorithms.

    It is cruel to have this (AI generated?) stuff just after another story telling "Papers today are longer than ever and full of jargon and symbols"

  10. Who pays? on Facebook Competitor Orkut Relaunches as 'Hello' (bloombergquint.com) · · Score: 1

    Their pledge is "user first", but the relevant method to forecast privacy behavior beyond words is economy: who pays?

  11. There is no patch for pre-2011 CPU, but are they vulnerable? If I understand correctly, Spectre stems from optimization that are present in recent CPU.

    Do we have a list of affected AMD processors?

  12. Hardwired rule for US military AI on The US Military Desperately Wants To Weaponize AI (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is that US military will not buy an AI that would tell them to stop their focus about Russia, because the threat disappeared with USSR.

    We need to add the Russian threat as a hardwired rule if we want to sell it.

  13. browser security and privacy features, such as HSTS, CSP, XSA

    I know HSTS and CSP, but what is XSA? Wikipedia says "Cross-Server Attack", but that is not a security feature.

  14. Is there anything that prevents ad buying by a company registered in some fiscal paradise, where the identity of the true business owner will be hidden?

  15. I bet that if Soros infests in cryptomoney, it will not be in bitcoins. That specific bubble is already too much inflated.

  16. Problem solved on FDA Worried Drug Was Risky; Now Reports of Deaths Spark Concern (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Problem was Parkinson disease. Death removed Parkinson, the cure is efficient

    Seriously speaking, if I was trapped in Parkinson, a risky cure with possible death outcome would seem better to me than status quo.

  17. Facebook business model has been obvious fore years, how could it take so long to realize?

  18. Good point for paper on Ask Slashdot: Should Coding Exams Be Given on Paper? · · Score: 1

    The good point for paper is that students cannot destroy their work by issuing a wrong rm command (with the intent of cleaning up their directory from object files).

  19. Is it able to run a non Linux system, for instance NetBSD?

    It depends on how it is implemented. Is it an hypervisor? A Linux kernel API emulation? A POSIX API?

  20. Don't read me on Your Strategic Plans Probably Aren't Strategic, or Even Plans (hbr.org) · · Score: 1

    Posting to undo wrongly cast moderation.

  21. The European law, called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

    There is no European law. National parliaments, not EU institutions, vote laws.

  22. Nonexistent customers vs nonexistent service billed? Is that a lawyer joke?

  23. If Internet was DRM protected? on Ask Slashdot: What Would Happen If Everything On the Internet Was DRM Protected? · · Score: 1

    What would Hhappen if everything on the Internet was DRM protected?

    Minitel would have prevailed!

  24. Device manufacturer's problem on Ask Slashdot: Should CPU, GPU Name-Numbering Indicate Real World Performance? · · Score: 1

    This is a problem device manufacturers should be willing to fix. If consumers cannot decide which product to by on performance, the only way to decide is price. Such a market is doomed to crush manufacturer's margins.

    But fortunately, most consumers are OEM, which may still have the ability to understand parts performances

  25. Is it an April fool's joke or not? on President of France Emmanuel Macron Talks About Nation's New AI Strategy (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Is it an April fool's joke or not? Macron is so good as talking nonsense that I cannot tell.

    One thing that makes me suspect it is a joke is that he talks about spending money. Angela would not let him do so.
