There's a useful word from behavioral economics called "revealed preferences." Briefly, it means that if you're given the opportunity to choose between X and Y, and you say "Wow I really want X" but choose Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, and Y... then your preference is actually for Y.

My advice is based on A/B testing of user visits to the online furniture retailer I used to work for (a fairly large one, ~$10M/mo in sales). This is as close to objective data as it gets. If you perceive it as non-PC, so be it, it does not change the underlying reality.
> They try, usually with simple probabilistic techniques and input element-wise transforms, to mimic some function that produces approximations for a given set of inputs and outputs

It's my understanding that this is basically how the brain works. My personal theory is that enough of these "dumb" inputs, wired correctly together, leads to emergent behavior that is consciousness.
Yeah that confused me too. The $1B must be referring to the money raised by XPO.com from private equity backers to roll up a bunch of old school freight forwarding businesses. There's no tech involved in that play though, so it's a bit misleading to call it venture capital. In fact it was mostly done as a private investment in public equities (PIPE) deal, where PE funds put cash into a listed freight forwarder.

Neural Networks do not think. They perform a series of computations, and arrive at a result. It is not intelligence. It is a very useful tool for solving problems that can be quantified and that we can generate a lot of data from, but ultimately, it is still human intelligence that is interpreting the problem and result.

It may require regranting a new strike price. I have no idea what their cap table looks like, but assume old employees have options with a strike price of $0.10 and new employees are being given a strike of $1.00 (each based on the 409A valuation of the company at the time of grant). It may not be possible to change the old grants without updating the strike price or causing serious tax issues for current employees (to remain compliant as ISOs, the strike must be >= the 409A as of the grant date... failing to do that led to the stock options backdating issues of the 2000s).

We're currently working on providing DNSSEC for our customers. The problem with only signing is that we really don't want all the keys to be physically present on our DNS servers, as many of them are hosted in other companies data centres.

Having a central online signing server is bad for availability, as DNS down time is really not acceptable.

That basically only leaves offline signing.
I actually think that it's bad for all but the best looking men as well. In a bar, music festival, coffee shop, etc, men could use a combination of looks, grooming, and personality to attract a woman. On Tinder, it boils down completely to looks, and that too, a 2-3 second evaluation. This has two implications:

1) In terms of physical attributes, women have more options "outside their league", but those options are not interested in a relationship.

2) The men at the top of the physical attributes ladder normally have a slight-to-moderate advantage. Historically, men not at the top of this ladder could still use personality, wit, etc. to attract a mate.

With Tinder, this advantage is hugely magnified because men not at the top of the ladder don't even get an option to use other aspects of what they bring to the table before they are swiped left.

Clojure [1] - the crucial implementation is really in classes BitmapIndexedNode and ArrayNode.

Scala [2] - Scala's source is an incredibly convoluted spaghetti of abstract classes and traits, but it looks like the main bits of implementation is in methods get0 and updated0 of HashTrieMap.

There's also a C# implementation somewhere, but it's not a part of a language library, so it's likely less optimized (except for some boxing/reified generics, which make it theoretically more efficient). But all these implementations use the same basic algorithm, so it's irrelevant which one you study.

At the risk of nitpicking, I'm going to specifically address your statement of "It feels like an ostrich"

To my mind, that's EXACTLY how humans do it. A baby is not instructed, "it has 2 legs, feathers, and is tall, therefore it is an ostrich", there's quite a bit more "LOOK OSTRICH /present input of ostrich/" prior to the point of being able to generate any justification.

As sister posts have pointed out, I tend to believe that the ability to justify the classification is another learned skillset that comes later developmentally, the ability for higher primates (and babies) to perform classification without the (as far as I know) ability to do the higher order reasoning lends itself to this theory.

I think a good chunk of the foot-dragging on CT has been a concern about customers not wanting certs for private names to be publicized (yet wanting publicly-valid certs for those names). It's unclear if there are concrete customers with this actual concern, but the argument goes that if Uber gets a cert issued for lyft-acquisition.uber.com in advance of an announcement, they don't want that leaked in CT logs.

The current Internet-Draft for RFC 6962bis allows them to register this in CT logs as "?.uber.com", which is enough for Uber's sysadmins to raise an alarm if something matching that pattern was issued without their knowledge.

> For people who've never used Tinder, it's basically nothing like this, and it's not just my own experience or the way I use it - I've never seen any of my friends use it like the people in this article describe.

Same. Most of the people I've talked to that use it experience a typical "funnel": a bunch of available people, a smaller pool that you're interested in, a smaller pool that's also interested in you, and finally a few dates that go from there. Not an orgyastic meat-market where all your wildest sex dreams come true.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a piece crafted by a PR team hired by Tinder.

That's how we end up with inflatable bbqs. This really looks like a rich person's toy, of no practical use.

Many people have talked over the years about self-driving cars dropping people off and heading home. That sounds great in terms of the number of parking spots, and might make sense in cities where parking costs more than rent, but I cannot see how doubling the number of trips can reduce traffic congestion. The far simpler solution would be to install simple (ie cheap) chargers at each parking spot.
I imagine the brain more like hundreds (thousands, millions, I'm not sure the magnitude) of different specialized neural networks. So you have a specific neural network for picking out colors and that feeds (along with a bunch of other inputs) into the neural network for picking out object boundaries and that feeds into the neural network for object recognition and so on. In comparison, most neural networks that are used in computer vision are generally trying to do the entire process in a single network (although they also use feedforward, so the difference is more complex than just composing the various layers). I think there is something to the idea that we need the neural network to have points where it can spit out a partial piece of the eventual goal model, things like object boundaries before recognizing the object, recognizing eyes before the entire face, etc. The key is being able to get those logical partial model results at various layers of the network.
So, is it obvious that monkeys aren't afraid of snakes if they never see other monkeys act afraid before? Because that's what I'd test first.

Further, if there's a learned fear of snakes, that might not be coincidence, even if it's not genetic.
> 90% of women want to sleep with 10% of men.

I hope people are not confused when they see that 90% + 10% = 100%.

They are measuring different things, that phrase (and it's probably incorrect for this very reason) is misleading in that it implies there is a 100%, that it encompasses all the women and all the men. (edits - another comment in this thread gives 80% and 20% with a reference)

A possible less misleading phrase would be 90% of women do not want to sleep with 90% of men.
I thought part of successfully killing off '90s crypto was deploying useful, obviously-correct systems without waiting for standards committees to bikeshed them to death (cf. CFRG).
There's something to be said for both sides of this. I think you're right about the way NN's have been blown out of proportion. I find as I work across fields they're the most abused and misunderstood ML technique, since everyone and their dog has heard of NN's at this point. But on the other hand, there's a lot that can be said for simple building blocks combining to form something very complex. The biological "inspiration" behind NN's make them an attractive starting point for investigating this line of thought.
I find how my two-year old classifies birds to be amusing:

1) He called all birds ducks for the longest time, presumably based on being exposed to a bath duck, and this weird Youtube video about ducks swimming in the water.

2) Then he called some of them bird, based on being exposed to a bath toy bird.

3) Then he split them up a bit more... parrot, chicken, rooster, etc. He started seeing them in books and real life.

4) At no point could he explain the difference. Still can't.

5) And he definitely thinks the only difference between a rooster and a chicken is colorful feathers.

6) And he's not quite sure about ducks and geese, but usually gets it right.
"...Even the best looking of men has been a whale-rider in his time..."

Just... wow.

Do people really think like this ???

I mean... this isn't even true.

For instance, I can, pretty much, guarantee that even when he was a QB and Captain in High School and at the University of Michigan... Tom Brady was NEVER as indiscriminate as you intimate. His women were ALWAYS top 1% of those available. That's just how the world works. I know it's unfair... but that's reality.

The best looking men and the supermodels NEVER have to "settle". Now they may not be altogether "happy" in their choice of life partners... but they are DEFINITELY not out "settling".
This. Tinder has tremendously magnified the advantage of the most attractive men. These same men, in a bar or club, would not spend the effort to pick up a lot of these women - they would spend their time and energy on the most attractive women in the bar or club. But with Tinder, there's no effort, so these women have more and better options, but not for anything serious.
ABP is not a one-man show, it's now developed by a company (Eyeo GmbH) that makes a lot of money getting companies like Google to buy into their "acceptable ads" scheme.

That is, indeed, what Sequel does. You can query the database object directly (for example, `DB[:posts].where{comments_count > 5}.exclude(poster_name: "Bob").order(:comments_count.desc).limit(10).all`) and get back an array of hashes.

Sequel's model layer is also faster than ActiveRecord's, because much of the additional functionality that ActiveRecord piles onto all records (dirty tracking, single table inheritance, etc.) are available in Sequel via a plugin system. You can enable the plugins you want to use and not pay the overhead of all the others. You can even enable specific plugins for only the models where you'll actually want to use them.

It also has a lot less magic (no association proxies, unless you enable the plugin for them :)), ridiculously customizable (many more options for associations, custom eager loading logic, and so on), and has an implementation of its Postgres adapter written in C for performance.

Highly, highly recommended.

Edit: Oh, and an issue tracker that is almost always at zero, with a very fast response time. As someone who has contributed a patch to ActiveRecord, I can't tell you how nice that is.
The biggest problem I see to training a network to program is that it would require a lot of example programs to serve as training data. Which means we need a lot of really good, bug free programs that already accomplish similar tasks. And in my opinion, we do not have enough reliable seed programs to make anything useful, at least currently.

It is very easy to take a picture of a car and tell a computer what it is, not so easy to write a program and explain to a computer what it does.

> It seems that as that's picked up the new norm is a "race to the bottom" for women who want traditional relationships.

This is so backwards.

Women use tinder to get attention, not relationships. Rarely sex.

Men are the one's in the race to the bottom. They get ignored by all of them. The women use it to treat men like ants.

Yet these studies and willing betas still treat women like the victims.

As men, the larger issue is this cuckold-psychology where you have to sound charitable to females, even if it takes flat out denial of situations. Women still hold the power.

It just suggests that we've evolved fears of some, but not all, things which are dangerous to us?

An analogy might be, many people are afraid of heights, and fewer people are afraid of water. That's despite the fact that water is also dangerous. But none of this proves or disproves the notion that fear of heights may be "hardcoded".

Ah, I think the delegation problem with the X.509 / HTTPS PKI is a (fairly massive) implementation facepalm, not anything inherent to a PKI itself. So I think that's why people were confused by your statement "DNSSEC got PKI wrong" -- that doesn't seem wrong, it seems like a good thing for a PKI to support this. Do you think that a DNSSEC replacement should match the X.509 PKI in this regard?

IANANR (I Am Not A Neuro-Researcher), but it seems to me the "only" step you're requiring is that of self-consciousness. We can explain why we think it's an ostrich because we can point our neural networks at themselves, and say, "what sort of thinking process does this look like? Oh, it looks like visual pattern recognition of certain features like a long hairless neck, bird features, etc, so that's why I think it's an ostrich."

We are capable of conceptual thinking because we can think about our own thoughts, and further think about our own thoughts about our own thoughts, etc, in an endless cascade of meta-thinking (which is in fact what thinking is). The ability to experience a gestalt, and the ability to think about it, are two major steps. We seem to have achieved the first, with current NNs. That's pretty amazing already!

I think the ability to be pointed at itself is a necessary step for those NNs to develop self-consciousness and, thereby, conceptual understanding. We're not there yet, for sure, but how much further are we? A few years? A decade? A few decades? The latter is no doubt a very pessimistic estimate (conservative AI researchers agree on this).

Human-style intelligence is certainly not here yet. But it is almost certainly just around the corner.
I think they took it directly from here: https://webkeks.org/objfw/ which does say 2012 as the last release. I see on GH they have commits from as recent as last month.

The problem is not the syntax support. The ObjC runtime had many changes to it done internally over obscure flags to support Swift and other compiler features. These are not readily documented on Apple open sources. (Perhaps more documentation exists in LLVM.) Once the runtime contains ABI changes, it makes it difficult to port apps that (ab)use the runtime. Not a problem for some apps, but a big problem for others.
