Watching the video I think turning each tensor into packets is quite clever as you get some ability to send them around a network and organise layers/data manipulation/transforming the layers/compression all as part of the stack.

I’m pretty surprised no-one has actually exposed the actor model for parallelising neural networks, it seems it would work quite well and allow you to have a layer per node (or actually many split configurations). Maybe data locality would be an issue with actor based approaches. They seem to be solving this at a lower level but with less knowledge of the actual parallelism in software.
What could possibly be wrong with the setup though that would cause it? I have a couple of dependencies, including libGDX, artemis-odb, and kotlin-stdlib-jdk8.

I posted it in another comment, but I am willing to record it when my time allows. It is quite baffling. I never encountered such slow compilation times even though I compiled some C++ projects before.

> “ clients do not know what they are getting in advance, because they are looking for knowledge that they themselves lack. They cannot measure the results, either, because outside factors, such as the quality of execution, influence the outcome of the consultant’s recommendations.”

There is a ton of this in cloud computing as well, especially in the AI / ML space. It’s marketed as a production-ready, plug-in solution, on the hopes that the customer isn’t smart enough to evaluate what they are getting. It’s sold as a replacement for an earnest need to understand problems and solutions.

Just consider how many cloud vendors charge pay-per-usage for things like pre-built ML models. It makes no sense to pay by usage unless you have a very clear understanding of what accuracy and business impact of failures you’ll get at that usage rate (which depends on your product / customers / data, not primarily on the vendor’s managed model).

So either you just trust the vendor and you are flying totally blind in terms of the real accuracy or business value you get per dollar, or you have to go ahead and hire expensive ML experts to maintain that vendor integration and understand its business impact. But in no world can you just buy business value direct from the vendor without someone in the loop actually producing clarified understanding.

I think it’s the same with big box consulting. The customer wishes to offload political battles and status turf wars to an outside authority that can just tell them the business value answer without anyone in the loop actually achieving understanding or clarity.

It’s pure fool’s gold. The corporate equivalent of obsessively visiting psychics or tarot card readers.

That's interesting. I'd sure like to think that the M1's 16GB limitation (and the limitation of 2 displays) was an aberration.

But, now that you mention it, maybe they have a segmentation strategy there. The M2/M3/M4/etc will be limited and the M2X/M3X/M4X will not.

Hopefully that's not the case. I get the feeling that it's more of a tick/tock cycle like Intel used to do. Where they'd ship new architectures every ~24 months, and at the halfway point between major architecture releases they'd release interim models with beefed up cache / core counts / clock speeds.

But perhaps that's wishful thinking.

There's no reason you cannot make a living by simply creating a payment method where you get the game + code. Yes, people will copy it. FAR from all people will. In the game add a pay/subscribe/support button. Frankly, I suspect you'll get more money; the game will be spread further and people will be willing to pay. You can even create a "bug bounty" program, where people can pay for bug fixes. Alternatively, have people "pre-pay" for new releases and send the code. There's plenty of alternatives.

That said, I do understand the view, but take a step back..

Stallman's point is that it's unethical to have closed source code running on your hardware. Effectively, you cannot understand, manipulate, update the underlying code. If I purchase a book, I can modify it. If I buy a car I can modify it. If I buy a song, I can modify it. Why can I not modify the software I purchased?

In terms of meaningful improvements, everyone considers licensing. Every company I've ever worked at, every code base, every project is evaluated, etc. It's taken seriously, something that was not done prior to the FSF. I'm currently writing this comment on hardware I can modify, with software I can modify. I don't even have closed sourced video drivers.. So I really don't see your point.

The ML example blog provides is amusing.

It tends to make some people think that neural network can somehow "see" the patterns in encrypted data. Plain wrong.

What happens in reality is this: the neural network is encrypted and can only work on encrypted data producing only the encrypted results.

The data can only be decrypted by the data owner who would not share his private key with anybody. That's it.

In this way, the whole algorithm works in a so called encrypted domain. When used in this role, homomorphic encryption (HE) engine resembles a custom CPU. That CPU is not Turing-complete because it lacks conditional branching, but it is almost there providing two basic operations: addition and multiplication. This is enough for a lot of tasks.

Does a CPU know a type of data or something special about them? Not at all. It executes primitive instructions of a program, one by one producing the output result from a set of inputs.

The program P that HE "CPU" executes can be any program suitable for the given instruction set. Not only ML. It can be any other program!

That's why homomorphic encryption is a very important technique in the area of cryptographic obfuscation. It allows to hide the data processed by a program P. And if that program P is a virtual machine (sometimes called Universal Circuit or UC) by itself, it would allow to hide the code as well, reaching the state of indistinguishability obfuscation. There are some practical problems along the way, but we are moving there.

Yep, that sounds like magic, but it's based on a pure "boring" math with a few bright ideas here and there. What was thought as an impossible feat in the past, gradually becomes a reality.

Isn't that the reason why Nobel is a no go for mathematicians? Otherwise, they would get plenty of Nobels (almost all of them, for sure).

Furthermore, and I can't believe I have to type this: Drunk driving isn't an airborne pathogen. You can't "catch" drunk driving after unknowingly breathing in alcohol fumes from someone in the subway, then suddenly, 10-14 days later, wake up in your car having an accident after having spread some more drunk driving to people you've been in proximity to.

Why would it be "come on man!"? Because we have the ability to ban drunk drivers from the road, which we've done. We however don't have the ability to ban the coronavirus from our lungs, but I'm sure if we did have the ability to do that, we'd just do that instead of … you know, locking everything down.

We're doing what we're doing because it's the only thing we can do. Some countries are trying other things. Some are better prepared than others and can afford to do less radical things.

I read the linked new article, and I'm not sure why Bumblebee was fined versus the employees.

Is the specific issue that Bumble Bee did not provide the workers with a safety process that may or may not have prevented this accident?

It doesn't need to have every cname in it. The cname resolves to the actual "bad" domain, which should be in your list already. That's why DNS blocking can still combat this method easily, while it's much harder at the browser level.
uBlock Origin for Firefox beta has a "run all non-local domains back through and check for cname redirection" feature, which can also block the cname trick, but it will increase DNS latency because it has to check each external domain again for the "true" domain.

All wrong. "/" was the options-switch-character in CP/M, which had no sub-directories. DECs and VAXes had nothing to do this decision, because only few humans had access to such machines. I even remember I had problems adapting to directory trees in MSDOS because files were kinda hidden and lost in a floppy directory.
Standard vs non Standard is often, but not always, the same as Federated vs Closed.

In olden times (1990s), you needed standards because you had multiple platforms, and slow updates, people actually had to download and install an update to get it. Now with app stores and web apps updates are automatic. This means the rate of change can be faster and thus sticking to standards is causing more issues.

The system that's coped best with keeping standards is HTML, it's flexible, it's full of inconsistencies, it's mostly developed by companies inventing things and seeing if they catch on, and then standardising those things. And pretty much everyone's just switched to using Chromium.
To be honest, I also advocate pro-privacy and have built a self-hosted analytics platform, BUT I still have sites on which I have Google Ads and Google Analytics. I still have them on mostly because I don't maintain them anymore, and spending the time to fix and remove all 3rd party dependencies for a site that I don't maintain anymore is not really something I want to do. The alternative would be to completely delete the site, but it still has useful information for some people so I keep it alive.
