Sincerely though, if not pop culture, what is this prediction based on?

What base rate information do you have about criminals who are extrajudicially executed? What information about who in the criminal underworld knows how much are you conditioning on in order to get a distribution that integrates out to >0.5 here, as opposed to >0.9, or <0.1?

Just based on what’s publicly accessible, it seems totally implausible even to put a educated guess on the odds of something like this.
You have got to be kidding. Corrupting data for a sale already made is far worse than losing a sale because of an outage.

Koopman was one of the main witnesses for the prosecution. He has also worked in the nuclear navy and industry specifically designing safety critical systems.
In my experience, practice is by far the best salve for nerves. If you can give your talk cold, without slides, while being attacked by bees, a couple of thousand people won't bother you in the slightest.

Luckily, you're speaking in the best possible format for this. The neat thing about Ignite is the length constraint. With a five minute talk, you can practice properly (run through the whole thing, making notes on paper about changes you need to make) something like 6 times in an hour - that would take closer to 10 hours with a 45 minute talk. That said, don't work from a word-for-word script. Change things up a little on each run-through. That's always good advice, but it's even more important with Ignite, since it's easy to get off-track with the auto-advancing slides.
> Also, FWIW, don't neglect cardio. I know lifters will tell you that lifting gives your heart a workout, and it does, but from personal experience I felt a lot better as a whole when I was cardiovascularly in shape.

This. The heart "workout" from weight training is not even in the same zip code as cardio workouts. Best to do both.

Top Gear did a race from Italy to the UK. Clarkson driving a Bugatti Veyron, Hammond and May flying in a Cessna 182. They couldn't fly over the mountains, and May wasn't qualified to fly at night. It didn't save a lot of time.

Not sure which bits you could cut with a flying car - the safety checks, air traffic control involvement, runways, refuelling stop, qualifications/licenses, but it would have to be a lot to make a large difference.
Any nose dive will look like it will hit the ground, won't it? The question is at which attitude does it need to pull up. Obviously, there are many factors involved, but there may be other factors the system is not aware of, that's why it probably makes sense that's overridable. I bet there is a way to do it.
Yeah unfortunately OpenAI has only released the weaker resnets and vision transformers they trained.

Some brilliant folks (Ryan Murdock [@advadnoun], Phil Wang [@lucidrains]) have tried to replicate their results with projects like big-sleep [0] with decent results, but even with this improved VAE we're still a ways from DALL-E quality results.

If anyone would like to play with the model check out either the Google Colab [1] (if you wanna run it on Google's cloud) or my site [2] (if you want a simplified UI).

Congrats y'all! Looks interesting. One use case I believe you're talking about that I'd love to see even more fleshed out is the tool to find the interesting clips for me? I'd love if after I just did this upload, you were like: "here's 3 clips that seem interesting to our AI." Maybe even a summarization algorithm would suffice at finding the most relevant chunks in transcript? Or maybe something more fancy if it's doable. But I'd love a best effort stab at the clips so I don't even have to think about finding them :)
Since the nineties they started advise parents that all infants should sleep on the back, which reduced SIDS a lot [0]. But it means that it is is very hard to draw any conclusions at all about other factors.

That's a good point about the usefulness of stealth in general, but I don't think that applies for multi-role fighters. From what I understand, the main benefit of multi-role fighters is one of cost. You don't need to pay for a bunch of specialized planes during peacetime. The trade off is that they're not particularly great at anything, but that doesn't matter when your enemy is much weaker than you. In the F-35's case, stealth completely cancels out any cost-benefit of being multi-role.
New Zealand does make a lot of concessions for farmers - but not directly like other governments, most of which switched to dairy and wreaked havoc on our water systems over the past 2 decades. Sustainable farming is now becoming more popular in NZ, but the damage has already been done. More than 95% of our waterways shouldn't be swam in[0], compared to 2 decades ago only 10-15% were considered polluted (namely those near major cities and industrial areas).

The government has given no penalties to farmers polluting the environment over the last 20 years, every change in government there's a slow push to have some sort of payment for what's been done, but the it changes again and all progress evaporates. The farmers who originally wreaked havoc on the land are retired now. Putting penalties in place now would just be penalizing their kids, investors or those who joined the farming boom in this country from the 90s.

New Zealand is also a massive hotspot for testing new technology in farms. Speak to any dairy farmer here, they'll likely have some sort of regular cadence with overseas companies (usually Israel or Canada) to discuss product changes, management or updates to software or reporting, etc. But nearly none of the technology innovation happen in the country itself - as soon as development shows promise, it's acquired or relocated somewhere else leaving.

With the price of land in New Zealand reaching all time highs as New Zealand continues to make no progress in reducing the amount of investment in land - I think farming as a profession will continue to push towards intensification just as it has been over the last 20 years. Land is expensive, they need returns to justify the investment. Around, and around we go until the land is a toxic slurry.

Your rant is misguided and childish. The law is dynamic because it must be applied in areas where no prior written text has a straightforward conclusion.

A simple example is wiretapping laws. Because of historical stare decisis interpretations of the Constitution, it is ruled a violation of the 4th Amendment for the government to wiretap a citizen without a court order. Nowhere in the Constitution is this protection written -- it required the application of the spirit of the document to the 20th century by the Supreme Court.

Fortunately, we don't need to bicker about this because you seem to hold the Constitution as the preeminent law of the land. Since the Constitution is correct by definition (according to you) and it gives the Supreme Court jurisdiction over its interpretation, the Supreme Court is also correct by definition.
It would seem to be impossible to dislike Rand's ideology as presented in Atlas Shrugged and enjoy any film that is dedicated to the novel. I read most of Atlas Shrugged, but didn't finish it. I was bored to tears and turned off by the stereotypical nature of the characters.

I like many of the ideas presented in objectivist philosophy, but I'm not quite a kool-aid drinker. Still, I'll reiterate, I have respect for the ideas. The problem I had with Atlas Shrugged was that it was rather transparently philosophy first, story second.

Have you ever hung out with someone who purposefully complicated their speech? The kind of person who subscribes to every "word of the day" feed they come across. The kind of person who says, "but I digress" more than any one person should be allowed? The characters in Atlas Shrugged all come across like this to me. I kept finding myself thinking, "Who talks like this?" The follow up thought was, "I hope I never meet them."

The characters in Atlas Shrugged are vehicles for communicating Rand's philosophy, but the philosophy shines through their actions like the mid-day sun through plate glass. I started out reading Atlas Shrugged and feeling like, "Yeah, damn those government men for getting in the way of progress," but by the time d'Anconia revealed that he intended his mine to become nationalized, all I could muster was an "Oh gaaaaaawd," followed by a lengthy sigh. The story had crossed over in to some strange form of industry-worship.

I have no idea how the film will deal with the lengthy inner monologues present in Atlas Shrugged, much less the contrived conversations and scenarios, but I believe even the most skilled filmmaker would have a difficult time crafting this work in to something that a film critic would enjoy.
You're not going to know anything about their password unless it's leaked in some way (e.g. maximum length on a password change screen, character set etc. or cryptographic leaks). However it's wrong to assume the approach an adversary will take when you know nothing about the adversary in question.

If I exhaust a 16 character space with alphanumeric passwords and pull out aaaaa as one, am I going to add mixed alphanumeric to my list and start again or am I going to check variants on AaAaA up to a certain length? Personally I don't know which I'd choose, it'd be dependent on the situation (but I've done both on penetration tests).
After five years, you must have useful real-world experience. You just don't recognize it as such.

- It takes months to get approval for a purchase? Is this a common problem in other industries? Can workflow software help? Would smaller aerospace companies be helped by this?

- Groups not communicating? Group collaboration software is BIG. How can you customize it for your industry?

- What software can you write to handle aerospace's regulatory issues. Automated checklist generators? Workflow control?

get the most out of his childhood.

Wow, I'm flabbergasted. I've got four children, and I am not at all trying to get them to "get the most out of childhood"; rather, I am trying to give them gentle encouragement in the areas they show interest in, and expose them to the wonders around them. Some people feel that children are like cups to be filled up; others feel that children are like candles to be lit. I'm doing everything in my power not to push my kids.
That is the first definition from the dictionary definition. It is very difficult to debate an issue with people who are not aware of the basic definitions of the terms, and, despite their ignorance, make snide characterizations like "your pretend definition".

That they were not passed as government money is an affirmative defense.

That you idiots keep chiming in making personal attacks and espousing your ignorant perspective as if it was relevant is what makes this site pointless.

My original mentor told me there are three types of clients never to work for: lawyers, doctors, and the government. The rationale: lawyers can sue you as easily as you can write code, doctors don't pay, and the government can impose a 7 year wait on any check they issue.

If you can make up claims without backing them up with anything, so could anyone: I raise you and say that there are more unreported robberies in Western EU countries.

FWIW, I cannot imagine anyone in Serbia being robbed without reporting it to police (and since you usually lose your ID document if it's your wallet or purse, you have to go to police to report it stolen/lost and get a new one issued), unless it's something like multiple gangs against each other.

What I can imagine not being reported are attempted-but-failed robberies, but that strikes me as something anyone anywhere would not report to avoid the hassle for no gain.
>If our company suffered an outage of more than 3-4 hours we'd be switching to our DR plan end of story.

I don't really see how you can have a functional DR plan for a site the size of Reddit with fewer than 10 people.

Of course, I've never been involved with keeping a site the size of Reddit operational, and I suspect the number of people required to do the kind of migration you're suggesting is an obvious choice would require Reddit to at least quadruple their staff.

I guess they could do it now, but odds are they would end up having to put Reddit in read-only mode for a week to do a proper migration with as tiny a staff as they have. And it's not clear that just throwing dedicated hardware at the problem would solve it.
Coworking spaces work wonders for this.
Something interesting about the iStockPhoto revenue is that it's almost entirely from content that's between 2 and 5 years old. It's hard to imagine a mobile app built today still generating significant revenue 5 years from now - without significant rework, porting, updating, etc.

Keep in mind that there's a natural unemployment rate in any economy. The natural unemployment rate is typically made up of two components: people in-between jobs and people with out-dated skills.

In programming, we'll always have (in any month) some % of workers moving from one job to another (either because they quit, the company they worked for went out of business, or they were laid off - because the company performed badly or their own poor or poorly perceived performance.)

And, in programming, there will always be some set of people who find themselves out of job because the company they were working for no longer needs their Delphi or COBOL or other outdated skill (not to say there are not jobs for those Delphi or COBOL programmers, but there are less and less of them, on average.) Those programmers have to get re-trained, etc.

These two groups make up that 4% - which is around the natural unemployment rate for the economy as a whole on average over the last 70 years (it's around 4-5).

If the unemployment rate was above this (basically at the national avg of close to 9) for programmers, then the difference would be cyclical - missing jobs based on the recession. Because it is so low, I;m wondering if it's we can conclude that programming (in today's economy, at least) is recession-proof.
The study you note focuses on income. There's another branch of research that focuses on wealth that shows that wealth is more important than income when it comes to things like college attendance.

See: http://collegepuzzle.stanford.edu/?p=1590

"“The Differential Impact of Wealth vs. Income in the College-Going Process” finds that wealth and income affect the college choice process differently, with wealth consistently being more significant in predicting who enrolls in college, and the type of college they attend – even after controlling for student differences in academic achievement, habitus, social capital, and cultural capital."

More research clearly needs to be done here, but from what I've seen its clear that wealth looks to dominate income.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there aren't other differences. In fact I suspect there are societal and cultural differences that will manifest in one way or another. If you spend a lot of time in Asian households in the US, you'll see they often resemble, culturally, canonical Asian homes more than "US" homes.

And there's data about the success of African immigrants to the US. Who often don't come wealthy (although some are), obviously are Black, but still do well. So there's clearly a culture issue here too, but I don't think we can really tease this apart without more data.
Then I'm not most people. It's exactly reverse for me. Way less effective when I feel observed. Luckily I don't feel observed in a coffee shop much, most of the time. Whenever I do, I decide to "observe back" and notice that no-one was observing anyway.

BankSimple's founder has hit it on the head:

"If you log in to say Bank of America or Chase, the application is clunky, it feels very fragile, it breaks all the time, it’s hard to find the information, it doesn’t work like a machine. If you use Facebook, there’s an expected way for things to work. It’s a more pleasurable experience"
in Dalton Caldwell's startup school talk, he said he was familiar with some of the people from the LaLa acquisition. he said he was pretty sure they weren't working on anything similar to what they had been doing in their old company. if true, then Apple isn't working on a streaming service after all.
"There are also times when it’s a good idea to make a spreadsheet, but even this can be overkill."

I think the point was not on the specific class but thinking of business from a macro perspective. The author was better able to grasp things and use his programming background to his advantage.
Thank you for your fast reply which was quite revealing.

I've been into electronic music production & sounddesign for about 8 years now. But I never saw a way that this could somehow be helpful when it comes to finding a job.

Two terms of CS gave me some insight into programming but I mainly solved little mathematical problems rather than gaining insight into "real world software programming".

Now I am attending business school and try to figure out how to avoid a typical office job so that I can do something more rewarding, where I can be somewhat more myself, instead.

I should seriously get into programming in my spare time...

Sorry to everyone else for hijacking this thread. ;-)

Perhaps they're moving away from "Tunes"?

It was a music player. Now it's a music, video, book, and app store and media center, as well as a connection hub for all of your accessory devices. I have a feeling that whatever they announce tomorrow will only be a proliferation of this trend.

"iTunes" has got a ton of brand awareness, but we've seen them appropriately drop "Computer" from their company name and "Phone" from iOS. Still, probably a long shot.
Thanks so much, feedback like this makes this worth it! We'll do our best and thanks for the great advice!

Excellent idea, brilliantly executed.

But as a CTO, I would be concerned about the security implications.

It makes sense to route traffic via a central server because P2P does not scale to large numbers of participants (which is why things like the Jitsi Videobridge exist despite WebRTC P2P being a thing), but it means your customers have to trust you not to get hacked, be compelled to, or otherwise misplace/record sessions.

Since peers can interact with the remote windows, this is basically a remote control tool, and getting hacked also means being able to inject keystrokes or otherwise compromise clients (as recently demonstrated by TeamViewer). For security-critical things like SRE work this is a particularly big concern.

Adding end-to-end encryption would alleviate some of these concerns and reduce the attack surface to implementation mistakes or compromised software updates, which is far easier to reason about.

Perhaps it's not a concern for a small startup, but it's definitely something larger companies worry about.

Please add support for other platforms and add end-to-end encryption, because I really want to use this!

As suggested by someone else, we would definitely pre-order licenses for Linux and Windows.
famous last words before an ip ownership loophole allows an AI to enslave humanity
A simple approach is to just geocode all the locations to a lat/lon and do a proximity search using WGS84. If someone has a location entry in their profile that fails geocoding, put up a warning the next time they login telling them that their location was not resolved and they should update it.

Don't worry about queries like "SF" or "Bay area"... if it's not good enough for the geocoder to resolve the location, just return an error message.
