Most of our spatial intelligence is innate, developed through evolution. We're born with a basic sense of gravity and the ability to track objects. When we learn to drive a car, we simply reassign these built-in skills to a new context
Is there any research about it ? This would mean we massing some knowledge in genes and when offspring born have some knowledge of our ancestors. This would mean the weights are stored in DNA?
Horses can be blindfolded at birth and when removed do basic navigation with no time for any training. Other non-visually precocious animals like cats, if they miss a critical development period without getting natural vision data, will never develop a functioning visual system.
Baby chicks can do bipedal balance pretty much as soon as they dry off.
Wood ducks can visually imprint very soon after hatching and drying off, a couple hours after birth with very limited visual data up until then and no interspersed sleep cycles.
We as humans have natural reactions to snake like shapes etc. even before encountering the danger of them or learning about it from social cues. Babies
Sounds like Teredo tunnels which was part of Windows 7. It builds ipv6 tunnel over ipv4 and assigns a global IPv6 address to Windows machines. But these tunnels were later removed from Windows 10.
This means we may need to remove or replace the Olympiad..It has no practical significance..Winners never contributed to any major scientific breakthroughs.
"A number of IMO participants have gone on to become notable mathematicians. The following IMO participants have either received a Fields Medal, an Abel Prize, a Wolf Prize or a Clay Research Award, awards which recognise groundbreaking research in mathematics; a European Mathematical Society Prize, an award which recognizes young researchers; or one of the American Mathematical Society's awards (a Blumenthal Award in Pure Mathematics, Bôcher Memorial Prize in Analysis, Cole Prize in Algebra, Cole Prize in Number Theory, Fulkerson Prize in Discrete Mathematics, Steele Prize in Mathematics, or Veblen Prize in Geometry and Topology) recognizing research in specific mathematical fields. Grigori Perelman proved the Poincaré conjecture (one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems), and Yuri Matiyasevich gave a negative solution of Hilbert's tenth problem."

"IMO medalists have also gone on to become notable computer scientists. The following IMO medalists have received a Nevanlinna Prize, a Knuth Prize, or a Gödel Prize; these awards recognise research in theoretical computer science."
A lot of them become Fields medallists. From [1] "The conditional probability that an IMO gold medalist will become a Fields medalist is fifty times larger than the corresponding probability for a PhD graduate from a top 10 mathematics program."
(And with this comment, the 2024 Olympics commences.)
There are so many competitions that don't have any obvious practical significance. And people are still enjoying competitions where AI completely pwns humans.
I built libp2p tunnel based VPN(Kadugu VPN) and open sourced it. Its a custom solution, it can't be finger printed. Generated traffic uses QUIC based transport to reach other end. Just like any browser based web traffic. In future, custom VPN solution will be flooded in market that can be easily setup. Finger printing will be difficult in these solutions.
Not if the network blocks QUIC in its entirety to force clients to fallback to HTTP1. I'm pretty sure the network I'm currently on does this.
But, it looks like the type of fingerprinting in the article utilizes the fact that VPN connected devices are only connected to and sending data mostly to only one host, which using QUIC won't help with - you'd need to add some sort of "noisemaking" functionality involving sending bogus packets outside the tunnel, or possibly route VPN traffic across multiple nodes before forwarding to the actual vpn server ala Tor (as they propose in the conclusion).
You're still sending packets to the same IP address. QUIC can't obfuscate that itself, all packets have to get routed over IP in the end. The paper relies on very little but that fact.
If one wanted to block VPN connections, they easily could do so by running such detection and then blocking all UDP (QUIC is built on UDP) traffic from the host to the suspected VPN server, too.
What QUIC helps with, in the context of dealing with DPI firewalls, is really just the obfuscation/encryption of as much connection info as possible, such as the SNI/Host in the context of an HTTP server, which normally is sent in plain text even with SSL/TLS (though ESNI efforts are starting to fix this)
So maybe the solution is to double-send all the encrypted packets - once to the VPN endpoint, and once to the original target (but encrypted so it doesn't reach). Or maybe instead of the intended target, to some randomized selection of targets. You wouldn't get responses, but maybe that doesn't matter.
In reality, writing a code that is easily understandable for everyone is good code. Clever code is intricate and difficult to follow by many. Coding is done for a team of people and not to show individual preceptive of a business problem/solution.
You eventually not only reach the limits of your language, but approach the limit of having plaintext code as your single source of truth and the thing you directly work on. At this point, it's like GP says - you can keep refactoring stuff infinitely. You won't be improving anything - you'll only be moving along the surface of limits of plaintext code, only ever making some aspects of code more readable at the expense of others.
OCD is a really difficult mental health condition that millions suffer from. It destroys lives and relationships. Please don’t minimise it by likening it to arguably fun parts of a job.
I have ocd and he's right. Don't pretend you're a spokesperson for people who suffer from my condition.
The condition in reality actually lives on a gradient and it very much influences everyone to varying degrees. It's only labeled ocd once it crosses a threshold. It no doubt exists in programming. Much of refactoring is done for the same mechanisms that cause ocd and zero practical reasoning.
I have ocd but I'm able to differentiate my compulsions from rational reasoning. Thus I can see how irrational my actions are.
