That's not a fair comparison. By that time the toddler can also ask questions, generate new labels using adjectives, label novel instances as compositions of previously acquired knowledge and generate sentences representing complex internal states. They are not limited to observed labels. In fact there is very little supervised learning in the form of [item, label, loss]. Beyond that, with enough stimulation and simply from interacting with each other, children can even spontaneously generate languages with complex grammar; without labeled supervision.

They'd also have gained the ability to do very (seriously) difficult things like walking, climbing objects, the rudiments of folk physics, picking things up and throwing things. They'd have some rudimentary ability modeling other agents.

It's good to be happy with current progress and I do not suffer from the AI-effect but being too lenient can hamper creativity and impede progress by occluding limitations.

I don't disagree.

Edit: I guess I partially disagree. In order for you to be a 'True Believing Mormon' you would not be able to embark on a project as large as creating Zion/New Jerusalem without the express permission/mandate from the first presidency. Anything outside of this would make you an apostate in their eyes. I don't necessarily subscribe to all of that but the rules are clear within the church proper.

This is mentioned in that blog post, but data is separated by a tuple of: (scheme e.g. HTTP or HTTPS, domain, port). Any page from one such set cannot access cookies, local storage, indexeddb, or cache from a page with a different set. The new feature simply adds one more attribute, so even if pages share scheme, domain, and port, they will not be able to read data from a site with a different userContextId.

The Majestic Monolith – Signal V. Noise
This does seem feasible for the specific use case of a protected phone for "clandestine" meetings.

My initial thought was they'd have to redesign it for every phone, but that's not necessarily the case. If eaves dropping is such a concern for you, I would think you would be okay with not having the latest gen phone. Or having an old one just for these sorts cases.

I suppose the concern then shifts to whether this device is easily subverted, or whether it's easy to determine if it has been subverted.
Most Silicon Valley magnates are not geniuses. They're average to above-average smart, with other traits (grit, luck, the right connections, etc) that put them in their situation.

Once you have a few dozen million dollars, it's not so hard to maintain and grow that (unless you go on idiotic spending sprees) because you start getting access to the kind of investments that have much higher expected returns than the kind of investments a blue collar worker has access to.

But nerd culture values intelligence so much that we tell ourselves that of course Zuckerberg, Thiel, and others must be geniuses because a) how would they have gotten to where they are otherwise? and b) nerds like to think of themselves as geniuses as well, and therefore just one successful startup away from watching Game of Thrones with Zuck on a Sunday night.

The problem with this is that we then don't recognize when those industry leaders are acting as ignorant/stupid as any other average educated person, and instead come up with convoluted explanation about how they're contrarians and they always play the most offensive move in chess and surely that must correlate to their political choices.

So being a gaijin doesn't help here? (there)
Because IRC-the-protocol currently doesn't have what is requested by the users who prefer Slack over it:

* offline messages
* full history access and search
* fancy authentication schemes

There are some who try to build a full experience similar to what Slack is proposing; I'm thinking of IRCCloud for instance. But then instead of being stuck inside Slack, you're stuck inside IRCCloud (note: for the nice features, not for the basic messages). What we'd need is an open source IRCCloud server and client, that would then become the new standard... then only can IRC compete.

So, it's not just a software issue, it's a protocol issue. Which is why XMPP was born, and Matrix was born, and all other IM protocols were born. But none of them has reached the point where they can overwhelm all the other ones combined, so in the meantime people converge towards a centralized system because it's easier to be up-to-date.
> There is if you think the grain is a corrupt and unfair system that needs dismantling. The enemy of my enemy is my friend thing.

"The system sucks, so let's put ISIS in charge" is an example of "going against the grain" and a truly shitty idea. Some of Thiel's ideas are in this "against the grain and shitty" category.
To be fair, that best answer is totally editable by any user to be more informative and/or link to the canonical source of information. There are few projects whose docs have such low contribution friction, for better or worse. And unlike project-specific documentation, it comes in one basic format and set of norms.

I also don't think there's a problem of spoonfeeding information to developers. If a developer at Company X tries to solve all their problems via StackOverflow questions, waiting for someone to come save them, I'd have to assume that this would manifest as them being blocked all the time. At that point, it's up to their lead to teach them and hold them accountable for exercising other ways of resolving their problems, including RTFM.

>He may agree with more non-interventionist/isolationist foreign policy of Trump

There's really not any good evidence that Trump would do anything of the sort. He was for the wars in Iraq and Libya at the time, and is only against them now (and pretends he always was) because he's the ultimate political opportunist. Considering that right now he's said that he will "bomb the shit" out of ISIS and "send a few troops", it's pretty clear that a Trump presidency would be anything but isolationist.

Working with Big Data at Apteligent
Yes, most people don't realize that the U.S. actually has a super low 0.38% immigrate rate.

It's truly extreme xenophobia and racism that these liars who falsely claim "mass immigration" can't tolerate the tiny 0.38% that comes to the U.S. every year. They see a few immigrants in their neighborhoods, and their blood immediately starts to boil, and they get filled up with loathing and hatred.

They are total hypocrites, who ignore that most of their ancestors came here in the last 200 years[2], and a disgrace to this country and its immigrant heritage. I hypothesize that there would no complaining if 100% of the immigrants who came here were white Europeans. At the root, it's not about immigration -- it's just plain racism.

[1] As Sam Altman of Y Combinator aptly put it: "most Americans saying no immigration are here because their families immigrated in the last 200 years", c.f. https://twitter.com/sama/status/550110475199848448

Sort of. We can't make a contract to do something that would otherwise be illegal. A very simple example is that I cannot put into a rental lease that I can evict a tenant in 5 days. That would be in conflict with the law that says I must go through a 30 day process. Even if I put it in a contract and you sign it, you can still sue me for not going through the 30 day process.

This presentation misses a more fundamental point. It's not about the notation at all, it's about understanding that EXPT, SQRT and LOG are functions with a particular relationship to each other. That relationship can be expressed using a two-dimensional spatial notation, but that doesn't really help you understand the concept at all because there are a lot of different relationships that are naturally described by putting three things in a triangle.

What you really want students to understand is that expt, log, and nth-root are functions that are related in the following way:

expt(b, n) = x
log-x-base-b(x, b) = n
nth-root(x, n) = b

It's really that simple. No fancy notation needed. In fact, fancy notation always gets in the way of understanding because people naturally think in words, not in spatial relationships. Mathematical notation was invented not because it aids understanding, but because when you're writing math with pen and ink it's faster and uses less paper to use Greek letters and spatial relationships than full words. But when you're on a computer, it's easier to write out the names of functions, and that is actually a better impedance match to people's natural mental processes, which involve language.

[UPDATE] I would like to revise this: not everyone thinks in language. But everyone communicates in language. For communicating mathematical concepts, language is the best tool we have. There's a reason that the symbology in math papers is invariably wrapped in natural language. It's the same reason that the video has a narration. It wouldn't make any sense otherwise.

Taking on Pearson and other companies that use similarly predatory tactics to extract value from society's most disadvantaged is exactly the sort of "disruption" that the world needs more of.

That said, I doubt one could go at it alone with no support or with only a grant -- building up mind share, fighting off BS patent threats, and doing enough sales to break even on these non-development costs aren't the sort of things that a government/ngo grant will typically support. And even if you could find the money, you'll still need access to a network of experts.

Someone should setup a fund that force-multiplies government/NGO grants for societally beneifical OSS with funding and access to expertise for these other things (legal/marketing/etc.). The aim could just be breaking even on non-grant-funded costs by selling support/branding/etc. to institutional players like hospitals and large chains.
Some portion of libertarians have become so blinded by their hate of leftists that they have dropped the whole "freedom" thing, and cheer for anything they see as anti-left - even if it is blatantly authoritarian.

If you have "self.parent_objects.children.function_nam" in your code base is a demeter violation (which I like to see as yet another code smell rather than a law or rule) that is telling you that you are probably missing a domain model. Mixins don't solve that either but hide the smell from you.
No disrespect to Snowden and Bunnie, but it seems to me that a much simpler solution giving you a much higher OPSEC is to buy a smartphone with a removable battery. No battery, no radios are on.

And if you are truly paranoid, it's simple to disassemble the phone and look for/remove any backup batteries. I know, I had to pull the backup battery from my wife's Moto G after it fell in the sink.

Stripe Security Advisory: API Keys in JavaScript Allow Full Account Takeover

By chance I searched for Stripe Secret API Keys (using this regular expression sk_live_\w+) and found that there a few sites exposing keys in publicly available source code.

Always consider exposed keys as compromised. I wonder how long they have been live and public.

Can’t really remember, sorry, that code was built for processing RSS feeds and data size was never an issue. I will take a look when get some free time…

But, I see what you mean. I had to deal with similar issues in commercial projects and the "pull" model (generators in Python ~ "yield return" in C#) almost never a good idea, especially when you have to have concurrent consumers. While callbacks are hard to combine, in C# it can be nicely abstracted with “async/await”, not sure how it is handled in Python, I stopped using it around 2.5

Your post lays out exactly the central planning madness that privacy advocates have created.

Governments: "Collecting data without informing people is bad"

Companies: "OK, we inform users what is collected in our privacy policy"

Them: "Nobody reads them. Make sure they opt in."

Companies: "OK, we have put up an interstitial that asks people to opt in after showing a summary of what is collected."

Them: "Still not good enough. Ask specifically for everything."

Companies: "..... we list specifics in the privacy policy. That's what it's for. And we ask people to agree to it when they sign up."

Them: "Too late. Pay us a big fine"

This is a stacked deck. Nobody providing user services on the internet can ever win this game, ethics has nothing to do with it. There are no standards and nothing is ever considered sufficient. Badly thought out, vague and rambling approaches to privacy laws are how you get cookie popups everywhere. Makes no sense!
Whoa, I did not write (or even intend to mean) that TensorFlow "will own AI for the future," whatever that means. No one is saying that!!!

I claim only that TensorFlow has won the "framework for numerical computation using software-specified data-flow graphs" space, at the expense of many other competing frameworks (Caffe, Theano, Torch, CNTK, etc.). In other words, if you want to build a large-scale machine/deep learning model (e.g., with tens or hundreds of millions of parameters) and you need to train this model with, say, tens of billions of samples in a cluster of multi-GPU machines (or TPUs), TensorFlow has become the go-to software infrastructure for doing that.

The session has to be fetched from cache/hot memory on every request, right? Authenticating the session per request may be expensive, but actually clearing the session cache so the request can't even get the session data - that's much better.

So you don't need to invalidate the auth tokens. You just need to be able to delete a session from the cache to do revocation on long sessions. And this works with just backend changes, no client hockey-pokey needed.

I like the problem statement, I like the use of a 2D representation, but the triangle symbol as drawn in that presentation is gargantuan. I think the symbol needs more work.

One thought that comes to mind is that I'm not convinced the bottom part of the triangle should be there. It implies a direction connection that I'm not sure exists. Removing that overlaps with ∧, logical and, though.

Another that comes to mind is that I can't think of another mathematical symbol that has such divergence in meaning depending on what is left blank like that. The closest I know of is integral, where you can leave the from and to parts blank for a symbolic integral, but that's still not like leaving those blank turns the integral into a differentiation (the opposite), depending. I'm sure there's something else somewhere up in math, too, but nothing your average student will hit.

Similarly, note that filling in all three corners of that symbol is actually an equation. I'm also not aware of any other symbols that constitute entire equations on their own. In fact hiding away an = symbol is probably a big strike against the idea as if anything standard math education underplays and abuses that most fundamental of symbols; let's not add to that. Again, somewhere up in higher maths than I've gotten to there may be symbols that constitute entire equations, but it won't be something most students see.

Also I think once that symbol is being shown with full expressions rather than cute little single-digit numbers or single-letter variables, it's going become very difficult to deal with.

I think there's something to this, though. I'm criticizing in the spirit of continuing to move forward. (I'm aggressively hostile to the idea that math notation is perfected and debating better alternatives is some sort of betrayal or something.) Personally I'd seek out a smaller, inline symbol that may visually reference a richer presentation (which may not be this literal triangle) for a nicer didactic experience, but doesn't literally draw it out in the formula.
Right, there are laws that govern certain types of contracts. I think the problem there is that a lease is regulated, rather than contracts in general. As a counter example, the contracts that members of sober living houses sign indicate that they can be expelled for relapse without going through a formal eviction process. These contracts are governed by a different federal law (the 1988 amendment to the federal fair housing act, IIRC).
