Nothing In Particular

[pre65]

Talking of Formula 1 (which we were) one driver who did a tremendous amount of work to make racing less dangerous, but was never really regarded as one of the greats. Sir Jackie Stewart.

...never really regarded as one of the greats. Sir Jackie Stewart.

Could it be because he's not?

I thought of Stewart as a great driver winning 3 championships. Spose it depends on what's "great".

Just a reminder to keep your personal data just that. Personal.

A really simple bit of social engineering. All they needed was a first name and a Facebook like.

So by posting information on a site that’s designed to be used to show people your information people can find out your information?

You're being deliberately obtuse! The point, as you well know, is that people don't think about where that information will end up, i.e. potentially as in a component of identity theft. Facebook's default privacy setting is "public", and folk often don't think about the consequences of broadcasting that data.

All the companies I've worked in have made it policy to get staff to remove all employment data from their Facebook profile (if public) and to completely strip their LinkedIn etc. so that all current and previous job roles, reporting lines, departments etc. do not appear - generally, just the company names and dates.

The idea is simply to make people think first. Not to regret later.

Yep.

Yep.

But it elicited a detailed and informational post as to why.

Interesting indeed. More worrying, this suggested link appeared on the same page... I did check the date and it was close, but not 1st April...

LOL didn’t notice that.

re: the AI thing...

I know this is naive and grossly simplistic but the thought that crossed my mind was that a particular sequence of events might have caused stress in the system or partciularly taxing state changes...and after a rest the same circumstances didn't present themselves, or presented themselves in a slightly different manner, to be processed slightly differently.....or perhaps nothing of the sort.

I guess the answer will be in the paper, but what’s interesting is if

might have caused stress in the system or particularly taxing state changes

Has any meaning to AI, and if it does that in itself interesting. I will worry more next time I write a state machine

Looks like Jean has a nightmare journey to West Yorkshire this afternoon. Looking at the AA traffic maps there are road closures and accidents everywhere.

At the moment she is heading towards Gainsborough on the A1133.

Well I told you I was being simplistic......but harping back to reproducing error circumstances...in my simple world I remember tying myself up in knots thinking I had duplicated a problem when in fact I hadn't. The report says that the machine had a sleep...which could mean the machine was rested(turned off) before it had fully learned anything about the problem/circumstance it was processing...it then had to retrace the path to the point where it was actually learning...and hence the state might not have been an exact duplicate.......if you see what I mean...a perfect example of Friday afternoon thinking....about as useful as a 1977 xjs coming off the production line.
