Comment It might be more than one person (Score 1) 76

People always seem to assume that Satashi Nokimoto is a single person, and if it isn't then there will always be some evidence pointing to "this is the guy" and some other evidence that "this isn't the guy", but I suspect it is team. Solving a puzzle basing the approach on a false assumption is a great way to guarantee you can't solve it.

Comment Re: Hubble out of support (Score 2) 129

There are two categories of realtime: soft and hard. Realtime is complicated, and no OS can guarantee hard realtime if the hardware is not up to the task (excuse the pun.) For example, if you are running an OS written in assembly language on am Intel 8051 microcontroller clocked at 10 Mhz you cannot handle events that could easily achieve hard realtime on a modern system, because the task switching overhead alone precludes such capability, even if your application is just an infinite loop.

Comment Ironically, this Slashdot summary title is a lie (Score 2) 104

It's ironic that the human(s) reporting this couldn't do so without (apparently) lying, in the title no less. The article talks about accuracy, and an inaccuracy is not a lie unless it is intentional. Of course whomever wrote the title is likely seeking to impose their own anti-AI bias to the story, and so chose to lie about what the study actually says.
