How is it any different than a ferry captain or a bus driver? There are many more fatal accidents from both of those occupations and neither has much of any monitoring.

One Jet Blue flight was protected by locking the pilot out after he went crazy.

That's a great article. So to answer the question in the summary, the way to verify your firmware is:

        Buy an identical replacement drive
        Use the vendor tool to install the same firmware version
        Use the tool described in the article to read the firmware from each drive over JTAG
        Compare the two copies to see if the suspect drive has been modified.

Hmmm.

It means that you don't know that Les is a common English name.

There is nothing stopping you from "using it at work". You just aren't allowed to distribute someone else's code without abiding by their license.

So pay for proprietary code. Nothing is stopping you. Just don't whine that can't sell code that you didn't write or pay for.

A test of intelligence should be dealing with unforeseen input. The problem with chatbots is that they are just giving pre-planned responses. How about trying to land a rocket on the moon while being bombarded with spurious input from a radar device that was accidentally left on? Given the computers in use by NASA in 1969 that's pretty intelligent behavior.

Another would be landing a rocket on a small floating platform. We'll see how that plays out tonight.

It would be a trivial program to listen for the laugh track.

To be fair the test has to be something possible for a human, also

The difference is that the "swiftboaters" were lying and ended up getting sued.

Probably referring to the Prisoner's Dilemma which is a payoff matrix that results in trusting players doing better than rational players.

If police response was less drastic, there would be no swatting. The problem is that police don't just show up, knock on the door, and ask if everything's OK They show up assuming that people in the house are armed and likely to shoot at them. The swatting perpetrator is hoping that people will die and should be prosecuted for attempted murder. If USA did not have its weird belief that guns make you safer then maybe fewer people would be pulling guns out during domestic disputes and fewer would consider it a pastime to incite armed invasions.

Not the same. Embedded development was mostly about reducing cost by replacing custom mechanical and electronic devices with microprocessors and software. IoT is about taking inexpensive things and adding features in order to boost revenue, and also to create new revenue streams by collecting and selling personal data.

I just asked my toaster.
