Why don't we talk instead about how methods such as deep learning actually do work, and what problems that have been successfully applied to?

Well we do, but it's clear to the community that we won't get to AGI with deep learning classifiers and systems alone. So the questions we are asking are "what would a system look like that results in X kind of behavior."

I don't disagree with your teleportation analogy either, but I think you weight it too heavily with impossibility. In fact there are serious people working on teleportation - at this point it's quantum state teleportation [1] but it's a start.

>This is the Uber/Lyft/Taxi killer.

Uh, what is?

This shows a car automatically backing in and out of a garage. I think it's a stretch to call it "summoning" your car, let alone an automated, self-driving taxi system. Yet you think this is the Uber killer?

I don't understand why people act like everything Tesla does is positively earth-shattering. Ford has had software to parallel park your car for, oh, about 5 years. That seems a lot more practical than standing outside and having your car pull out of the garage for you, but that's just me. I don't even understand the use case for this, unless your garage is so narrow you can't open the car door.
That's true. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't have an _impact_ on daily life. In other words, descontruction, specifically, is an analysis technique. The outcome of doing said analysis is separate from doing the analysis.
I most certainly do hold this as my view, and it's had zero negative impact. In fact only positive impact as I'm not spending time wasting on thinking for the sake of thinking. Philosophy is a mental trap that produces no value.

One of my favorite books is Candide. The book ends with Candide tending to his garden. This is how I live my life. It works pretty well.

Somewhere, though, in those religions is the answer 'Because, God wills it so or says it so.' Everywhere that happens is a dead question.
This is a fair point, in the that conventional definition of post-structuralism as representation being bound to an interpretative context can be difficult see in daily life. However, such a view's application in Foucault's work I see manifest in my life all the time. For example, the concept of governmentality explains how we come to internalize the mandates of the state or capitalist power structure to say obey traffic laws (even when a cop is not there to observe and violating the law would not lead to harm). I should augment my list to say critical theory and Marxism as well. Such schools could explain a great deal about increasing income inequality, patent law, the insufficiency of 'nation' as a unit of analysis in a globalized economy...

I don't mean to equate becoming homeless with getting your business wrecked (though they're often connected), but I don't think there's an argument that something has to literally make someone homeless before it can be regulated. Stable business relationships are important.

This would still be open to them in a lease situation; it would simply have to be planned and occur according to at least the law's minimum notice periods.
Mark my words, in the next couple of years we'll see custom silicon that massively improves performance per watt for DNNs by using fixed point, quantization, and saturation arithmetic. The gain in performance per watt will be at least an order of magnitude. This will make DNNs worthwhile in a lot more classification problems where currently they are simply too slow.
Hopefully the car makers will be able to use data from the times when the driver needs to take over to build better image recognition of the ideal path in snowy roads.
Yet philosophy is at the base of how we do science. The principles of falsification or Kuhns Paradigms are quite important in how we understand "the body of knowledge" that science helps us build.

In my world philosophizing is not the same as being a philosopher. You can be an excellent philosophizer without having any degree and you can be a horrible one with all the degrees in the world.

How to set up a Linux-based music server at home
The problem I've found with your description of suburban life is that what you describe relies on having neighbors you get along really well with and identify with. But in my experience, suburban neighbors were generally very conservative, religious, and frequently outright unneighborly, letting their vicious dogs run wild or bark at all hours of day and night. The suburbs, in my experience, seem to attract people who want to live "off the grid" in rural Alaska or something but can't afford to do so, but act like that anyway.

Anyway, a place that's full of conservative religious people is going to repel Millenials for what I hope are obvious reasons.

And why would I want to help someone rebuild a '71 Camaro? I'm not even a Millenial, but I have no nostalgia for poorly-engineered, obsolete junk. Man cave? You're sounding like an overweight, cheap-beer-swilling 40-something there. And you wonder why the Millenials don't like the same things you do?

Oh it's really all about personal preference. I mostly subscribe to tech news & reviews and "let's play" type gaming content, along with some cooking/woodworking/metalworking stuff. Off the top of my head I mostly watch MKBHD, Tested, Cinemassacre, CynicalBrit, Lazy Game Reviews, Frank Howarth, and enough smaller channels to fill in the gaps.

Edit: Oh and LinusTechTips, I can't believe how long it took me to get on board with that channel.
Props to Tavis for maintaining his composure in the face of this incompetence. Despite his mounting frustration, you can see he keeps repeating his request, "Turn it off, apologise for the disruption, and then get it audited before turning it on."

Even when they perform their half-solution, he still evaluates it on its merits, and then suggests how they can do better. A model of professionalism in the face of an absurd situation.
Better Memory
I still sympathize with a subset of the ICs, those that must see so many problems (maybe even futilely trying to fix them) but being crippled from doing much by internal dynamics. I wish them the courage to pack up and leave for someplace better, while on those who have been responsible long-term I agree with you.

>You're ignoring the fact that religions haven't been able to convincingly answer any of these questions, either. Else there wouldn't be so many of them and they wouldn't be having highly intricate theological debates about the half-dozen types of millennialism and interpretations of whether and to what extent Mosaic law is still relevant, among many other things.

The mere presence of debate does not preclude certainty about overarching principles. Various denominations might disagree about what's moral in a situation, but they can at least agree about why this specific kind of morality is important, and what reasoning and evidence should be relevant in the discussion, and how this morality plays into a larger conception of the Christian life. Elements like the Gospel, the Apostle's Creed, and the metaphysics of traditional deism can all be harnessed to conduct and resolve debate. There are more certainties than there are the opposite. And perfect certainty will never be achieved, even on a theological level. Since one of the charges of theology is to adapt and present Christianity to a changing world.

Unlike, say, secular moral discourse, especially manifest in political speech, which makes no effort whatsoever to establish shared principles. There are few, if any, first premises which can initiate debate. There are few agreed-upon standards for what counts as relevant evidence, or how certain values outweigh others.

Wading in secular moral philosophy, the situation becomes even more dire. No one could ever hope to walk into a secular philosophy class with modern material and achieve any guidance about how to conduct their life.

The ability to debate and resolve issues is the marker of a healthy tradition. Not all issues can be resolved. But there should at least be a vehicle to coming to the best available answer. Studying, say, the progression of Catholic theological doctrine is a good example of this. But in our post-Reformation era, in which every theological debate ends up spawning a new Protestant denomination, your lack of confidence is understandable.

I do, of course, agree with you that our broader cultural approach to such issues is entirely arbitrary and resistant to intellectual progress.

Edit: Alasdair MacIntyre's Whose Justice, Which Rationality is a stellar treatment of this problem you're noticing:

It could easily go past module boundaries. The point of the article is that the "unsafety" extends however far the invariants the unsafe code depend on extend.

I could have an unsafe function that depends on a set being non-empty. And it could share that set with, say, a factory in a different module. So someone could mess with that code and cause the invariants to be violated, and suddenly the code is broken.

Unless you have a language that is capable of expressing proofs (ie, Idris) you have to depend on good documentation and careful/tasteful design to prevent this kind of problem.
While I agree that no religion can answer these questions convincingly, they just don't have to. That's what faith is all about. The answers provided by religions are intended to be "believed" and followed without much questioning. That's why I think there is not much room to discuss between science and religion: one can (and must) be questioned, while the other just can't.

I pulled the CDC stats and it looks like eating and lack-of-exercise kill about 50x as many people as vehicle accidents.

Also generic falls are only 4K behind vehicle accidents. Somehow poisoning beat vehicle accidents by 4K, I'm not sure how, maybe counting prescription drug interactions and allergies?

http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/usa-cause-of-death-by-age...

It would appear the most dangerous daily activity is eating and not exercising. So your kitchen and living room couch are by far the most dangerous things in your life. Deep in the decimal points come poisoning, falling, and driving, all roughly the same odds. Someone else killing you is about half the odds of those three. Drowning is about a tenth the odds of driving although most adult drowning is probably outside the house and most people don't swim every day (although it is excellent exercise). On average you're about a fifth as likely to die of HIV than driving so the bedroom is probably safer than the drivers seat, on a very long term average, although HIV clusters extremely strongly into certain demographics, so bedrooms are basically safe for almost all of us and a death sentence for certain demographics.

In summary, there are some daily household activities that are safer than driving, such as having recreational sex, but your kitchen and living room couch are maybe a hundred times more likely to kill you than driving, and its about equal odds for falls, poisoning, and driving. The odds are about 49 in 50 that you're not going to die in a car accident.

(edited to add this is worrisome WRT death rates if people sit in self driving cars and stuff themselves with junk food while watching TV or something... the overall death rate might very well go up, even if vehicular deaths supernaturally dropped to zero)
Like what? From what I'm told by friends who are actually in academia, it's a pretty horrible environment because it's nearly impossible to get tenure any more and the competition is ridiculous, and then there's the whole "publish or perish" thing. The rewards just aren't worth it any more.
Drugs are capable of ripping apart families without any help from the drug war, thank you very much. Alcohol is certainly high on this list and there are a slew of prescription drugs up there with it, but we shouldn't pretend that there is not a public health crisis from rampant amphetamine, opioid, and alcohol misuse, whether obtained by illegal means or not. Of course, the issue is continuing to receive increased awareness as a public health crisis and not a criminal one as both usage and law enforcement encroach more heavily into middle and upper class, predominately white society. Law enforcement's role in the drug trade is never going to go away completely, nor is organized crime's. I do think, however, that we as a society are finally starting to see some movement in the direction of reducing their influences. The question in my mind - and I think in many people's minds who are for decriminalization - is, will we put anything in their place to help people and families in need?
No. I believe the new 7 series does the same thing.
Useful. Sure. But it'd cannibalize sales. Why sell once device that can be shared by three when you can sell 3 devices?
Behaviors are simply added to a list of components on the actor (aka "game object") and once a tick, the whole actor tree is update()'d. There are probably optimizations to be done here, but we haven't hit the wall yet so we're trucking along on more urgent stuff :)

Communicating with another behavior can be done like so:

Sup.getActor("Some actor").getBehavior(BehaviorClass).someMethod();

If you use an actor or a behavior often, you'll want to cache it into a member variable so you don't look it up every frame.

Yep, that's probably a big reason people just aren't having many or any kids these days.

Back in the "old days", people lived with multiple generations under one roof and with their extended families. So raising kids was easier because you had a lot of help: grandparents, uncles/aunts, etc. Then the "nuclear family" came along in the 50s and things started falling apart. It was OK for a while because women were relegated to near-slavery, but then things changed and we had two working parents, and then there wasn't enough time to parent properly.
Plain Text Note and Citation Management
But is that the way we want the world to work, or just something we've resigned ourselves to because we think it's inevitable?

I'm pursuing a CS PhD; in my free time, I'm working on a science fiction novel. In some ways, I think a PhD is the perfect vehicle for this since I'm free to "explore" intellectually, as long I still publish in my field. And I make things work: I squirrel away bits of time for writing, and still have enough left over to get my work done.

But I look at the industry (especially in Silicon Valley), and I'm not sure I can expect to keep going on my side projects. Work weeks of 50, 60, or more hours are common at companies in the area, and even more so at startups. I did a lot of interviews for internships and such in undergrad and early grad school, and I would ask interviewers whether they worked on any open source projects during their free time. The answer was almost always no. I found it perplexing at the time, but looking back I think it's a relatively straightforward consequence of the environment people are working in. Most people aren't in a position to take up serious hobbies, and a big part of that is work culture and the sorts of hours employers expect.

I think Coppola is very lucky if he has a job where he can do this balancing act. Perhaps I'll be lucky too, I don't know. But I hope we're not driving our society towards a situation where you need to have some sort of exceptionally flexible day job in order to make progress on your other pursuits. And while I wouldn't want to be a professional artist myself (I love CS too much for that), I do hope that it'll be possible to be paid to do art in the next 100 years.
I have to use Safari for a bunch of stuff because Apple are willing to implement the DRM that lets the site use hardware acceleration (e.g. Netflix) to avoid my MBA sounding like a jet engine.
I think there's a ton of potential, TBH. Look at Pythonista, for example. My 12yo is having a ton of fun with that. I don't see why such environments couldn't exist for other pedagogically interesting languages such as e.g. Racket.
I am surprised they don't let you use your existing ticket on a later train if they caused the delay - that is the rule in Britain and France.
Most of these categories aren't 'hidden'.

If you select one of the main genres on Netflix, almost all of them will then have a "sub-genre" picker which, as far as I can tell, includes most if not all of these.

Sure, this site lets you see them all at once without having to choose a parent genre first, but it doesn't seem like that big of deal.

Peach’s Most Interesting Feature, the Hybrid Command Line
As a parent, I see the intent there more as Parent > Non-Parent, rather than woman > man.

If your child has a problem, chances are another parent will already have on their mind ways to help, or things they might need (water, band-aid, phone to call mom, change of pants), and at the very least might be inclined to help them more than others might be. They may be more likely to recognize child-related issues ("Bumped your head? let's check your eyes ...") than non-parents, simply because thinking about precautions, worst-case scenarios, and the like are something parents have to consider.

I never used to think about how to find the bathroom in a store, for example, as proactively as I now do once I have kids, and never used to carry water and snacks with me wherever I went. Nowadays I effectively carry emergency water, food, wipes, band-aids, and a change of clothes when we go to the park.

This is not to say that non-parents are bad to ask for help -- far from it! Merely that kids, who often are already anxious around strangers, may be disarmed a little more easily by the fact that someone else is clearly a parent.
So who are some legitimate auditors?
Oh, I fully agree on programming and software development. It's mostly pseudoscience and a swath of tacit unquestioned assumptions. Same with theoretical computer science the moment it steps out of discrete mathematics and combinatorics. It's quite unfortunate then that so many programmers are opposed to philosophy and the humanities, it would truly help them be more introspective. I would never imply that it is any different.
You can make a lot of things sounds comically insecure, very much including virtually all open source software, if you use 2003 as the benchmark.
Why do people hate css so much?!?!
Why is the solution to styling components to throw out css?

I thought BEM and other css frameworks/conventions solved this problem.

For example:

myComponent/myComponent.jsx
myComponent/myComponent.css

in myComponent.css

.myComponent {
/* whatever */
}

Since all of your components are uniquely named(I hope), you can just use flat single class selectors without any specificity issues.
I think the most impressive part of this regimen would be not snacking. Having cheap, high calorie food / beverages available in, say, vending machines is a major problem that can bump people up in calories quickly. Add to that highly available / cheap fast food options (with giant cups of sugar water) and it becomes much worse.

As Francis Schaeffer said, religion and philosophy are trying to answer the same questions. (Your second and third paragraphs agree with this.) But...

> With the rise of scientific thinking, we're seeing a rapid increase in the number of folks who identify as agnostic or atheist. This is natural given that the tenets of most major religions can't be tested or validated via experimental methods.

The tenets of most major philosophical positions can't be tested or validated via experimental methods, either.

No matter who you choose, when you inevitably lose the lottery, you will still only have lost one dollar either way. When a child chooses to not go to an adult at all because only men are around, they might be facing more dire consequences than simply losing a dollar. A valid response to playing the lottery is "don't play the lotto, 10x chance or not"... for a child, there are some things that only adults are equipped to handle, and a valid response isn't to tell a 5 year old "don't go to a man, but do go to a woman". How might that work out at a football/soccer game?

Well, thank you for that. Growing up in Michigan, we had a bit of Canadian cross-over stuff [1], and I saw quite a bit of that show back in the era before on-demand. We never really had cable. Definitely some good hacker-esque skits in there, though I never felt the shows as a whole quite gelled in their overarching plots.
