>"Unless they're actually offended by non-violence, in which case they probably did you a favor."

Most would not say they are offended by non-violence, and most would actually advocate non-violence. The problem comes in when you start pointing out that logical and consistent definitions of violence/aggression preclude a lot of the things people value and think noble. To some, mentioning you are Libertarian inherently means you are saying all of their "noble" and "good" ideas should be scrapped because they rely on aggression. Hence the cliched "you want poor people to starve" criticism of Libertarian-like beliefs.

Violence is also a bit of a misleading word, in that it paints a very physical picture. Threat of violence can be seen as aggression, and is on-par with actual violence because the implication is that if compliance is not achieved, the aggressor will exercise violence. Had to clarify a bit, as I did switch the discussion from violence to aggression, which is what libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism is mainly about.
Not mentioned: Kedlaya was Mochizuki's student and then later his teaching assistant back in '92-'94 (for a tough course[1]). Mochizuki hasn't had that many students; Kedlaya might be one of a few to have an advantage in understanding his approach.

The bad news is that the new participants seem to have made no progress on the IUT papers themselves. But the good news is that some substantial progress was made on the background material, and that there are some folks still interested in continuing.

That depends on your value function. If you want to do science then yes, robots probably provide more bang for the buck. If you want to get at least some eggs out of the basket that is Earth, eventually you have to send up humans.
I have a feeling MobileEye wanted Tesla to release something like this.

On the contrary, I thought Hotz came off in the original article as a bit too arrogant when he basically bashed Tesla's autopilot in order to sell the reporter on his own project.

EDIT: For what it's worth, this may have been the angle the reporter wanted: reporters are very good at stroking your ego and getting you to tell them things you shouldn't be telling them. Nonetheless, revealing email correspondence about private business/job dealings is not very classy, whether or not you're a big company.
Smart pause is a feature you have to explicitly enable. Just like smart-something that prevents your phone from auto-locking after a certain period of time if it sees you're still looking at it.
Programming sucks if you're not interested in programming.
Yeah, I don't really understand the point they are trying to make there. Of course Geohot does not have a massive amount of engineers working on his car, and it's not meant to be a mass-market product, it's just a hobbyist project built in his garage, it's already amazing it worked so well to be honest regarding the massive complexity of a project like this. Unless I misunderstood something...
I'd say upgrade to 10, not as nice as 7, but way better than 8/8.1 ... just disable the two bing search options (they're annoying).

Also used ClassicShell on Win8.. if you lauch a metro app it will go metro mode.. but that's the only case.
I dunno, how much tax did you have to pay to bail out AIG & the motor industry? Start there, and work your way down.
It's a fairly weak product given the other JB products that I use. But, I anticipate that they'll continue improving it. The layout is just confusing and not intuitive. And, it lacks a lot of power features.

But, recently, I've been using Redshift a lot (as well as MySQL and Postgres). So, it's convenient to have open all the time.
This depends on your aim and what you consider value. There is also the point that robotic exploration is only politically supportable on the back of human exploration. Even the very rich and powerful have dreamt about being personally involved in human space exploration.
It sure is good :).
I'm a hacker too, so I can relate a lot. Hotz isn't the kind of person to start something and not finish it, esp after all this press..there's pressure now, I can def see the entrepreneurial side in him.

In the interview he said it himself, "I'm going to be the next billion dollar CEO". He finally built something that can be VC fundable and is legal enough to have ppl backing him.

But..you could be right too..it might just be a dead project soon (though I doubt it)
There's an interesting tidbit there:

> The latest version of MemNet is available online. Being an amateur cat photographer myself, I decided to give this a try. Apparently, the most memorable part of Mr. Tango Tangerine’s face is his left ear

The cat photo is pretty ordinary, as far as photos of cats taken by their loving owners go...though I could imagine why the algorithm behaved the way it did, id be interested in hearing anyone try to argue that the algorithm picked something remotely relevant to the human experience. I mean, if the ear were deformed or on fire, sure...but it's not interesting in any way, even if you take the tack of "we'll all cats look the same anyway so no one will remember the cats face"

That said, a huge kudos to the MIT researchers for not only open sourcing their work, but releasing a straightforward REST API to make it easy for anyone to test out their algorithm.
I think they're more concerned that he might almost succeed.

It wouldn't take many sensationalist headlines of crashes before a politician somewhere publicly "protects" their voters and the whole thing gets pushed back a decade.

You can see it in miniature today. This whole hoverboard craze has blown up (sorry) because of some dodgy wiring in some models. But when it comes to banning things, no-one's looking at the labels.
I don't think these are cases against a growth mindset but rather cases against overconfidence and biting off more than you can chew.

I don't think the point is to say "wow I can get better at anything so I'll take on this big project that's way out of my league". It's more about thinking "wow I can get better at this so I'll ask my manager for tips and maybe a small project in which to grow my skills".

I've read the book twice and its helped me tremendously. I used to say to myself I'm not a maths person but now I say that I can get better if I work on it. I've made more progress than I ever did believing that people are simply born with or without a mind for maths.
You weren't forced to do anything. They just kindly asked you to bend over. You therefore volunteered to be fucked in the arse, in public. FTFY
My point was that there are exceptions to the rule. I don't think the exceptions (scientists with, generally speaking, open minds who pass these habits on to students) are as rare as people reading Kuhn might think. I don't think there is a correlation with doing brilliant work or sparking a paradigm shift, but not everyone is small minded and protective of their territory. Maybe it just seems that way to me because I'm not very ambitious, but I notice quite a few people who don't fit the Kuhnian stereotype.
I guess we can now ask a lot of simple questions in math for whose there can be answer, but the solution itself is untenably long to be produced or understood by mere mortal, not a computer or computer-like individual.

Same way as we can't really reason about inner workings of machine learning model that yields useful results.

Talk about transhumanism.

> Though, if you're idealistic enough to think the UBI is a prospect soon realizable, I wonder why you're advocating minimum wage increases over say, stronger collective bargaining?

Why not both? Seriously I am very much in favour of e.g. working time restrictions, but "union" is a dirty word in the US (indeed you carefully avoided saying it), so I don't think advocating stronger collective bargaining rights would help me achieve my policy goals.
Interactive Volcano Plot with Voronoi Overlay
There's a lot more in the German version of the article, including a second possibility of what they were used for. A number of reasons is listed why it might make sense to consider them places of refuge in case of an attack:

- entrances are generally hidden

- narrow slip holes make defense simple

- locking mechanisms that can only be operated from the inside were found

- some are directly connected to fortifications

But it would also be excessively easy for an attacker to just kill the inhabitants by sealing the entry / smoking them out if they were found. They're also rather unsuitable for prolonged hiding (little space = little air, need to bring food, no way of getting rid of faeces other than burying them), but 48h have been experimentally confirmed as possible for 3 adults.
I'm confused. As far as I know WhatsApp does not archive any messages on its servers. Messages are only kept there temporarily until they are delivered to the recipient and then they are deleted.

This is also what WhatsApp states in its legal documentation: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/ :
"The contents of messages that have been delivered by the WhatsApp Service are not copied, kept or archived by WhatsApp in the normal course of business."

Furthermore, messages are end-to-end encrypted. So how could WhatsApp comply to the judge's demand?
That's a bit of a trend on the Tesla blog. You saw the same thing with all the excitement about range anxiety and journalist tracking and such. I agree that it doesn't play too well for them, but ultimately I would buy a car based on the car, not the defensiveness of the company or lack thereof... so perhaps it's a case of no such thing as bad publicity; they know responding will likely get them some press, so might as well.
My comment was just a response to the stereotype that people from the middle of the country are stupid. Now you're bring up the stereotype that people from the Midwest are closed-minded and hateful. I don't hate anyone, I simply brought up another stereotype.

I think the personal attack was unnecessary.
what can I say, your post was poorly written.
I view some of these math researchers like startup founders who are absolutely brilliant technically, but who lack almost all ability to interact with customers, investors, etc. As a solo founder, they will fail. However, if they attract a co-founder who complements their skills, they can be wildly successful. It sounds like Mochizuki would have benefited greatly from such a co-author, in order to truly prove his result to the community.

>...who will make sure every detail of the resume that he is reviewing follows all of the industrial standards.

I'm not entirely convinced that's a good thing. In fact, the last thing I want is a resume that conforms to traditional standards. It's boring, impersonal and tedious to read.

>...and makes sure they will pass ATS tests and move your application higher in companies resume databases.

I think you might want to take another look at the ATS platforms out there. Greenhouse, Lever and Workable are currently nailing the ATS market and those platforms don't rely on keyword searches. In fact, they actively discourage users from keyword searching.
I agree. I haven't read the article, but the first thing that came to my mind was: "it doesn't suck". Rather, I find it a fun activity.

There's so much creativity one can put into programming. Especially when programming for oneself and not for Super Evil MegaCorp (not the actual game dev company [0]!). Sometimes it feels to me like art, for example when creating games.

My older brother, at some point in his live, he thought programming sucked as well. But then he stopped doing programming professionally and now just as a hobby and it became fun for him once again.

I will read the article later today :)

Not to mention disclosing presumably sensitive correspondence to the reporter. If I were Elon I'm not sure I'd be too happy about that.
An unusually poor PR mis-step from Tesla with an ill-judged tone. It is equally possible to make exactly the same points by congratulating the lone hacker for what he has managed to achieve by himself and then lead the reader through the extraordinary areas of innovation that Tesla has achieved in housed and the challenges that Hotz may yet find himself facing.
This kind of thing comes up in driverless car threads all the time, it's quite odd. People trying to come up with complex situations that humans are likely to be terrible at themselves.

I've seen plenty around constructing some trolley-problem style moral argument about deciding who to kill in a crash. I don't know why it's expected that they'd have to solve, in a fraction of a second, a problem that people have been arguing over for years. The human reaction will probably be at the level of "jerk wheel quickly".
tl;dr: there is a decompiler for JARs that has a built-in virtual machine that executes some code in order to de-obfuscate Java strings. And yes, this is exactly as bad as it sounds.

I don't think this means an inversion

What comes first? - belief or achievement or self-confidence?

You won't achieve something if you don't believe in it. You just won't persevere and will give up or find workarounds.

But if you believe in it and keep failing consistently, your self-confidence will go down and so will your trust in self. It gets to that miserable "I'm no good" belief until one breaks out of that.

Once you achieve something, it will boost your self-confidence and trust in self will rise and your belief is validated. Then your belief will make you try more and achieve more. Sometimes it leads to overconfidence and bouts of overconfidence will break that trust within oneself - and we just need avoid getting into that downward spiral.

Many times "starters" define limits that are just self-imposed limits. People fall into the ugly 'I can't do that' loop without trying. And they have to be forcibly, inconveniently and painfully pushed out of that. This quote from Star Trek sounds so true "stallion has to be broken to reach it's potential"

I'm a pessimist but I don't believe that pessimism motivated achievements can make one happy unless it is a side-effect. Such achievements root from a negative inner rebellion behaviour. And if we aren't truly happy with those achievements, that makes us doubt and kill our own inner beliefs that led to those achievements. I'm not saying we should be a blind-optimist but stay close to reality.
And that would be OK. He doesn't have a PR department.
Page http://www.symbos.de/facts.htm, end of the third paragraph "Real preemptive Multitasking, a dynamic memory-management for up to 576K and more and a totaly MS-Windows-like GUI are the three most important things."

I'm also a little puzzled about real preemption on a Z80, but http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/SymbOS#Technical_background states

"Even the Z80 8-bit CPU is able to run a pre-emptive multitasking environment. Missing mechanisms like memory protection, which are often called as a condition for multitasking, are system stability issues only. The MP/M operating system already proved, that multitasking on Z80 computers is possible.

While the MOS Technology 6502 can not move the stack, the Z80 can freely replace it to any position in the memory, which is more or less a condition for pre-emptive multitasking. The existance of an alternative register set accelerates the content switching between the tasks dramatically. The restriction of Z80 systems to a 64 kB address space can be solved with bank switching. In this way computers like the Amstrad CPC and PCW, MSX, Enterprise or SAM Coupé are able to access hundred or thousand of kilobytes of memory. "
I prefer to use Valentina studio.

Unfortunately there is no oracle support but for PostgreSQL and MySQL is by the far the most convenient tool.
I'm usually supportive of Tesla in their righteous crusade, but even they have to realize that they can't be using MobilEye forever, right?

It's a stopgap solution to get a basic system up (and that's what the Autopilot is, this kind of functionality was in cars years ago), but if they want to move into fully autonomous driving, they will need their own vision solution.
Telegram gains 1.5m new users after WhatsApp ban in Brazil
I don't know how symbios does it but I don't think it's that hard to create something pretty close to preemptive multitasking on a z80. You have the vsync interrupt (50 times per second). Add to that some stack manipulation, some bookkeeping and a register store/restore procedure and you're done. It wouldn't be fast though, and it would also limit what a process is allowed to do (disable interrupt, write outside of its own memory region). The z80 provides no mechanism to enforce this, of course. But technically, it's a primitive kind of preemptive multitasking.
For those who don't want to drop $30 on a kindle book (don't feel bad, it's not really your choice) the Sam Harris YouTube video is pretty good and has nothing to do with his views on Islam(ism).

I really don't think that programming sucks. I think some software sucks, and this is usually because of a number of reasons.

* There is always a deadline and pressure to deliver that exceeds quality controls.
* Software development shifted from engineering to crafting a long time ago, mostly because of the prior pressure to deliver.
* Poorer quality code that works and building new features on top are easier to sell, than rewrites and paying off technical dept.

I think it comes down to building in pieces that you don't mind throwing away when a better piece comes along.
This is something you will hear from disinterested teens too when their teachers try to make them vocalize their opinions on some school subject:

Teacher: What did you think about <subject>

Teen: I think it's fun

Teacher: Why do you think it's 'fun', just saying it's 'fun' is not a valid opinion.

Teen: Because it engages my curiosity and I want to learn more about <subject>

Teacher: That's good, you shou...

Later you'll hear the pupil complaining, that such exercises are pointless, because the second clarification of the pupil's opinion is just as circular and empty as the initial declaration of 'fun'. You can play this game to infinity, and you will never get to the point that any words have any real intrinsic value.
thanks. I've seen that before, but for some reason I kept assuming that it was different than an actual k interpreter because none of their docs refer to the K language.
I agree with your point of view on just about everything. I was just objecting to the use of the word fact. I make a point of doing this. The AGW believers hate me for calling it a belief, and the AGW deniers hate me for believing in AGW. I must be doing something right!

Your words about models and inductive reasoning are helpful. Bringing that up in the future will probably help clarify my position, which is about like yours. Thanks.
This is an Open Source CUDA compiler (not clear from the title).

I guess at the moment, this targets Nvidia GPUs. I wonder how much effort it would be to target other vendors GPUs. Does someone has some insights on that? This could mean that we can finally use CUDA for all GPUs.
HOW OUTSOURCING TAX PREPARATION CAN SAVE YOU MONEY THIS TAX SEASONS?
The papers on Inter-universal Teichmueller theory span over 500 pages alone, and they build on material developed earlier that needs to be understood too. Those papers were published a little over 3 years ago, so claiming that they can't be understood “by experts who concentrate on them for a long time” might be a bit premature.
> kph

Just why would you write it like that? Why not just use the standard km/h? There also should be a space between the number and the unit (narrow non-breaking is best for this)
And that decompiler operates as part of popular enterprise passive network monitoring hardware, so the attack vector is literally any JAR sent over the monitored switch, giving the attacker full read only access to the entire network (possibly even write access in some configurations).

That said, the manufacturer had configurations to mitigate the damage out within hours and a full patch 2 days after they were notified by Project Zero.
> I mean people are really, really good at communicating.

On my experience, people are usually really bad at communicating. It requires additional effort to imagine what information might be required for somebody else to follow your train of thought. Think of code documentation: What the original author percieves as obvious is cryptic to somebody else because context has been omitted for the sake of brevity. The author needs to invest a lot of time to actually dump his entire mindstate into documentation. Even if he does make an effort, not everybody is a good writer. If he doesn't care about others understanding his stuff (which also seems to be the case with Mochizuki) it gets even worse.

Also remember that Mochizuki basically worked alone on his stuff for 20 odd years. He built his own world to work in and it's just as hard for collegues to catch up to his level in that world as it is for e.g. non-programmers to understand programming (which takes years).

It's so obvious MobileEye asked them to right this. The original article had Elon quoted saying that he would give him a multi million dollar bonus once they drop MobileEye.

It's a terribly sourced article, so I personally don't blame them for responding in the way they did. He's an extremely gifted developer, but from the title down (he wasn't the first one to "hack" the iPhone) it's factually wrong on many levels. This reeks of a reporter who's either a fan boy or has an axe to grind with Tesla.
