Except that it wasn't advice but a disclaimer. Curiously, though, the original context ties in to the topic of derandomisation:

Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin. For, as has been pointed out several times, there is no such thing as a random number – there are only methods to produce random numbers, and a strict arithmetic procedure of course is not such a method. (It is true that a problem that we suspect of being solvable by random methods may be solvable by some rigorously defined sequence, but this is a deeper mathematical question than we can now go into.) We are here dealing with mere "cooking recipes" for making digits; probably they can not be justified, but should merely be judged by their results. Some statistical study of the digits generated by a given recipe should be made. but exhaustive tests are impractical. If the digits work well on one problem, they seem usually to be successful with others of the sarne type.

Seen some interesting stuff in the last 27 years, will miss my daily dose, sadly ill health has done me in.

"Neil Greatorex" for those that knew me.

So what that he encouraged or developed something, he is not the person who had actual access to this information, he never worked for any agency in USA where he would have to promise not to disclose information, to him (or anyone who doesn't work for such agencies) status of any 'secret' information is completely irrelevant, as it should be.

For example, if I egged on some general to disclose top secret information about some project and then he did disclose it, it would be on the general, not on me or anyone who encouraged him. HE IS THE ONE WHO PROMISED NOT TO DISCLOSE IT NO MATTER WHAT, not me, not anyone else.

I am not a 'right wing', I am not a 'left wing', I am a libertarian, anarcho capitalist, it puts me completely outside of what is considered to be normal politics in the USA by the way and I say that Assange has done nothing wrong at all and he is being terrorized because he embarrassed people who have power.

*this* is what "proves" it? Not the kidnappings, the torture, the murders? )

Yeah, you don't understand what will actually happen. What will actually happen is just more terrorism by the government that is already terrorist in nature. Kadyrov is a murderer, torturer, terrorist, his fame to claim was that he murdered his first russian at the age of 16. Today he routinely murders anyone who opposes his rule in any way, real or imaginary. His son kidnaps and beats a kid who posts something online that Kadyrov finds offensive. People routinely disappear, never to be seen again. People get tortured for anything that Kadyrov doesn't like.

At the same time Chechnia's economy only exists because putin provides Chechnia with billions of dollars every year from the russian budget.

You don't understand what is actually happening there. They don't care about law or whatever, if they hear something they don't like, you'll disappear and be raped and tortured and killed and that's about it. This entire thing about the music is really nothing at all, it just means that if someone *hears* music that is not Chechen they will report you and you will be gone.

The current USA-UK extradition treaty says:

When the offense for which extradition is sought is punishable by death under the laws in the Requesting State and is not punishable by death under the laws in the Requested State, the executive authority in the Requested State may refuse extradition unless the Requesting State provides an assurance that the death penalty will not be imposed or, if imposed, will not be carried out.

so it's clearly already envisioned by the current treaty. Why would rewriting the treaty make a difference to the ability to provide the assurance?

What does using your brain have to do with the law?

This is about making the app work for its real audience. If Grandma Jones isn't posting, how are they supposed to build a profile on her to sell to advertisers?

I've had two occurrences where I found a single core on a multi-core 13th generation chip to be bad. The user reports intermitted crashes in high cpu workloads, e.g. video rendering, and stressing the CPU with Prime95 shows that it really is the culprit.

I've replaced 3 defective CPUs in 20+ years, and 2 of them were this year.

Texas?

It's generally a lot easier for private companies' HR departments to recognise the value of a foreign degree than for licensed professional bodies (bar associations, medical boards, etc). I'm not an immigrant to the US, but in the country where I am an immigrant the government considers me unable to certify that I can read and write, whereas my employer was quite happy to take my university degree certificate at face value.

You are correct. What Canada needs is a 3d printed AI government, which would be a vast improvement over Trudeau.
