Yes, AI can write a solution, but cannot visualized a solution. When I was 9, I refused to learn my times tables, and addition, so I was relegated to work with blocks. I loved the blocks... I was able to complete all the problems, come up with my own, and return to class, with some extreme facility.
Two years later, comes a challenge in class... make a formula for summing the integers... well everyone started with 1+2+... I starred with blocks, 1+n, 2+n-1... I had the complete formula in minutes...
That was the very last class for which I was with my peers of that grade... I was put in a HP High Potential class, with a high school algebra book, and although was a bit lonely, was in my element.
The point is- the recognition of the problem, can save huge amounts of time, where as AI can only brute force it, or use a pretrained solution.
Its all a math problem, and if it isn't a math problem, its a database problem.
I come across a lot of problems, and since I always try to reduce it to a math problem... I intuitively come up with both the solution to the problem, but solutions to other problems. But, if it's not a math problem, of course, its a database problem.
I would safely assume that there are no limitations of what mathematicians can do, with one important exception: Andrew, for whom I argued about the mis-uses of Infinity. Andrew is, well, rather famous.
Pay the tax of - reliability problems, ever one came with a cable, where is the termination, each had power, need another power strip...etc, etc, etc.
as well, as Wide SCSI, so all your 50 pin stuff needed to get upgraded to 68pin...
Bernoulli... ultra reliable. Zip? Clock was ticking on the click of death.
Bernoullis were not the fastest, but they were the quietest and most reliable.
At the same time, I was running a home router without any HDD on LRP, Linux Router Project, which was a distribution from Swansea Linux, and was a floppy image, that decompressed into RAM, and then chrood to the RAM image. Really nifty, except for the 486 machine had a Pentium Overdrive, which was vulnerable to F00F, and we got owned... only to reboot again, and back to our normal image.
Since it had no hard disk, and no monitor, it was quiet, and used little power.
"He reverse-engineered an actual attack.
The project contained scripts that enabled code injection and crypto-wallet theft.
His post (highly recommended):"
"The execp package (version 0.0.1) is an infamous, malicious dependency frequently used in recent supply-chain attacks and job interview scams. Threat actors embed this 9-year-old package into seemingly innocent "technical assessments" or projects. When you run npm install, it quietly executes arbitrary shell commands in the background to compromise your machine."
A “recruiter” (sometimes pretending to be a CEO/HR) contacts you.
The job looks amazing — above-market salary, remote position, paid in USD, etc.
They ask for your CV and GitHub.
They say you’re “approved for the next stage” without any real interview.
Before the call, they send you a codebase to review or modify as a “technical test.”
When I get one of these, I automatically spin up a cloned VM, and test it there, which for the most part it gets infected immediately. as I watch the VM connect to odd places ( C&C computers ) for which I add any names/IP addresses to my host file, and then spin up another cloned VM, with the adjustments to the hosts file, and watch the malware get all lonely... but once, it was able to escape the VM... so I had to scramble to disinfect both the RM and the VM, and then update, and look around for hardening tools.
Its satisfying to delete an infected VM, with a "Not this time Jack."
Isn't any one interested in the technical? I would love to pay this guy a way to figure out a way to put a 8Gb USB stick in the light bulb, and start to fill it with the stuff from that Minecraft library... in all the languages... I would buy 16 of these light bulbs, and see if I could mesh them, or IPFS them, and start plugging them in in libraries...
When does the movie come out? Totally kidding. Its just propaganda from one of the most murderous regime I can think of, but looks like the USA is going to give it a run for its money.
