Re:Ask HN: Should I reprogram for NV memory on Wednesday August 29, 2018 @03:03PM (#17870761)
Way back in the day you'd have to reprogram for each type of memory/storage combination you had. Some embedded systems are still that way. It's an EXTREME pain. NV programming is a fad from Intel to lock people into a particular tech, just like memkind and the like. Don't do it!

Maybe yes? Lets do s/AI/ML/g and we now that ML/DL is just stats. It's great at picking up patterns that are repetitive. The key is that it really generalizes well over things that are in fact repetitive and settle into a single function->domain response. Unfortunately humans are extreme creatures of habit. That habit creates patterns and therefore I suspect we have no home long term of privacy. Time to be open!
