Sorry, in my part of the world a pickup truck more often than not is just called a car, with the word "truck" usually reserved for larger cargo-carrying vehicles.

This page about Car Classifications also mentions pickup trucks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_classification

I can't edit my earlier post, but assume I meant "vehicle".

OK, so now you're dependent on the person, who might be unreachable during an emergency.

My point is that you cannot eliminate all dependencies. And if I must have dependencies, I'd rather put my trust in a well-engineered, time-tested, highly-available system. When properly implemented, LDAP + SSSD is such a system.

At any rate, an even faster and more reliable emergency response system would be to place a static user ID and password in a lockbox (virtual or physical) somewhere and use that to log in. You don't need a complex CA infrastructure to attain that; NSS fallbacks to static /etc files would suffice.

Yes, the data and the algorithms don't really matter unless you have the right product. Otto apparently was a group of Googlers who thought the product was wrong, and went for the narrower self-driving trucks market (before being acquired).

I imaginne that the winner of the self-driving car race will be determined by the product and not the technology per se. Tesla, Google, Uber, comma.ai, etc. all have quite different conceptions of what the product is.

Also, you do get notifications for replies, though not a great overview of them. For flaming, that's fine and more than enough. It's just useless for actually discussing anything.

Yep, and after doing all of that I still couldn't delete the backup. I tried deleting it from the iPhone iCloud UI as well as the iCloud settings UI on the Mac. Neither option actually deleted the backup. For giggles I tried to dig around in the iCloud drive app but that doesn't expose anything. The Web UI is equally useless. It would be nice to have a button that just "resets all iCloud storage" but that doesn't exist either.

I did find a workaround. Back up phone manually (in iTunes), wipe phone, restore the (months old) iCloud backup. I was able to delete the "newer" iCloud backup after that. I then restored my backup from the computer and the iCloud backup mysteriously started working again (registered as a single backup for my phone instead of two). This was all over a year ago, so maybe they fixed it since then.

The other phone on another account still won't back up to iCloud. The backup size is a fraction of the "free space" on that iCloud account and the error message is still the cryptic "failed to back up" message.

> Collision resistance implies onewayness for compressing hash functions.

No it doesn't. These are independent properties. That is, collision resistance does not imply onewayness, and onewayness does not imply collision resistance.

Collision Resistance: it is hard to find x != x' such that h(x) = h(x')

One Wayness: Given y, an n-bit string randomly chosen from the output space of h(), it is hard to find any x such that h(x) = y.

Proof that CR does not imply OW: Suppose g() is collision resistant and outputs n bits. Define h(x) to be 0x if x is n bits long, otherwise 1x. Collisions are hard to find: if y starts with 1 there are no collisions, and if it starts with 0 then you'd need to find a collision in g(), which is collision resistant. h() is not one way: given a random y in the output space, with probability 1/2 it is trivial to find an x such that h(x) = y.

Proof that OW does not imply CR: Suppose that g() is one-way. Define h(x) = g(x) with the last bit truncated. h() is one-way because you cannot invert h without inverting g(). h() is not collision resistant because for any x, h(x0) = h(x1)
You're 100% right that "data scientist" is a fancy made-up term for people who mostly do statistics. In the same way, "software engineer" is a fancy made-up term for people who mostly do programming.

The fact that data science is basically statistics supports the argument of the guy who is saying data science and software engineering are different jobs.

If you are a software engineer and want to be a data scientist, you are free to switch careers. Or maybe work as an engineer for a startup that could use someone to do statistics on the side. But that might be a bad move with no experts around. With data science, your work product is often conclusions and advice. Those are highly susceptible to bullshit. You don't get a compiler or unit tests that tell you that you are coming to the wrong conclusion and giving bad advice. It takes experience and judgement to get that right, not just hacking on an IPython notebook and accepting what the model spits out.
The US hasn't had a gun-type nuclear weapon since 1963. The Hiroshima weapon was gun-type, and there was a serious risk of accidental detonation. Later gun-type bombs were used in the "atomic cannon" artillery shells. These apparently came in two parts intended to be assembled just before use.

Other countries, who knows? The first Soviet atomic bomb was an implosion device.

About 4 years ago I gave a talk at a genomics conference in Novosibirsk. I asked to go to this facility and it was super interesting.

I'll see if I can dig up some old videos.

Well, when you struggle for survival daily, you have other things on you mind and priority list, I'd imagine.
I'm not sure you realize you're defending a murder here.
Some thoughts in no particular order, edited from an IRC discussion I just had on this:

The price is extremely low. If you drive just 20 minutes per day, and your time is worth at least minimum wage, it makes sense to buy this for just a year, and hopefully it lasts longer than that. But there is a monthly subscription cost ($300 per year) i didn't factor in. And wtf, since when does hardware have a subscription cost? Oh, and to purchase one you need to have lots of "points" with the company, which you can earn by using their app. This is really weird, why not just raise the price if you can't meet demand?

The price also doesn't seem high enough to cover the risk. If each accident costs 10 million in lawsuits (i have no idea how much they will actually cost, but that seems like a good made up number, and corporate legal fees are expensive anyway) then they better have less than 1 accident per 10,000 vehicles that use it, just to break even. honestly i hope they have 0 accidents because they could bring in regulators and ruin the fun for everyone, as well as the very delicate reputation of self driving cars (people are already predisposed to distrust machines)

I can't believe this works at all. Wouldn't you need like multiple gpus to process all this camera data in real time? How do you account for the variance between vehicles? How many cameras do they have and what is the resolution? That unit looks really small.

It looks like it's just trained by predicting what a human would do. Human drivers are imperfect, and so I imagine this machine will learn to imitate the imperfections of human drivers, combined with it's own imperfections. It's also unclear how they trained it, because the dash cam videos don't give information on when users tapped the brakes or moved the steering wheel. They must be doing some interesting semi-supervised learning.

Apparently the cars have limits on how hard it can slam on the brakes or turn the wheel. He advertises this as a good thing that will prevent the AI from doing anything too bad, but I don't see how. This limits what the AI can do in a real emergency. Worse, it suggests that the AI needs these training wheels. That without them it would cause accidents, and that's very concerning.

I just can't believe that this works. Deep learning is completely amazing and can get 99% accuracy, but this requires 99.9999%. Those extra 9's are super super hard. Fortunately this doesn't need to be perfect, it only needs to be better than humans. And while deep learning is starting to beat humans in some machine vision tasks, I'm not confident this is true in general. In the real world there will be weird edge cases, like a car painted in a very atypical pattern, or ice on the road, or a bug on the windshield, etc. Humans are more capable of handling new, out of sample situations, and machines can fail epically at them.

My thoughts exactly, there are even NodeJS Jupyter notebook projects.
It doesn't have to be. Onewayness says nothing about finding "the original x". If a function is one-way, it means that given y (a random n-bit string in the output space of h), it is hard to find any x such that h(x) = y. If your h() is just a modulo operation, this is trivial: just choose x = y.
And also not exactly good for creating (though arguably things could be made better for tablets with improved software and less idiocy like abstracting away the filesystem).

> Ignoring the fact that people are still picking these words from their limited vocabulary and likely basing it on their own experiences...

If people are doing so, then they've missed the point of the comic (which is basically just demonstrating the merits of a "diceware" password generation scheme). One should be generating these passwords actually-randomly (e.g. by rolling dice and picking words corresponding to the dice roll, or (less ideal but more practical) by using a program which picks the four random words for you). The whole point is to make a password that a human can remember without relying on the human to actually come up with said password on one's own.

> Almost any computer can guess astronomically more than 1k/s.

Sure, if they have direct access to the hashes (assuming the passwords are even being hashed...). The comic's threat model instead assumes that the brute force attempts are through "ordinary" means (like using an actual login screen), at which point 1k/s is pretty high even without factoring in things like account lockouts. This is actually made pretty clear in the comic itself (at least so I thought).

Even with direct access to the hashes, though, the resulting passwords are sufficiently-long that they'd still take a rather long time to brute-force even with high-end computers (at least compared to the sorts of 6-to-14-character passwords most people use). This rather long time is made even longer if the attacker doesn't actually know that the victim is using a CHBS-style password.

That's the key thing here: they're long without being difficult to memorize, and length is generally accepted to be the most important consideration (aside from ensuring the password is unique across applications and not in a dictionary of commonly-used passwords) when resisting a brute-force attack.
Yeah, I understand your argument. I think it's not a bad one.

I am having "conversations" with the legal team of a big social media platform about a blog that I have.

I have a large complex project in XCode. (It's this: http://macdaddy.io/mac-backup-software)

It looks simple but it's actually about 6 different programs all stuck together.

Codesigning breaks on it periodically, and it takes days to fix.

XCode 8 has just broken this worse than any other XCode version in history. It seems to have done so by trying to automate all its requirements. So now it outputs broken bundles when I compile it. This has taken me all of today, and I'll be surprised if I have it working within the next 6 hours of work.

This is a fairly typical experience of using XCode for me. Many times getting codesigning working correctly and getting it working within the mac app store parameters takes more time than writing the code.

In short: Using XCode is harder than programming.
Direct supervisors can do that and get a detailed feel for how it's going. But that's too touchy feely, too many variables. C-level execs want to know "are we on track to ship version 3.0 by the end of the quarter?" and they need a yes/no answer, justified by numbers and graphs. They don't know about unit tests, and can't be bothered to walk through the software itself.
Having encountered some of these people in my life, their education is often incomplete, and more dangerously, they're often unaware it's incomplete.
"Why wouldn't air bnb end game be hotels?"

Well, the end game could also be apartment/house/hotel market, rolled into one.

IE, the unification of the short and long term housing markets. With each person having an opportunity to monetize ancillary tasks - cleaners, arranger, cooks and so-forth all could be available on the market.

If hotels have some amount of inefficiencies/fraction in their markets, apartment rent and home buying has much, much more. All for somewhat logical reasons but sharing-economy is pretty much a stampede to price everything at market value, externalities be damned.

If might be a bit inconvenient to have to decide on a weekly or daily basis whether you could afford your current digs but hypothetically you could take comfort in getting the best deal possible, I suppose unless you wind-up the sidewalk, a location of limited comfort.

So if you're wealthy and that dollar goes to pay off the loan - where does it go? The person you're giving it to will either spend it on consumption, or loan it to someone else until (ultimately) it is spent. And if you deposit the dollar into the bank then the bank have to loan it to someone (they need to make money too!) who will then spend it on consumption. It won't reduce the amount of money in circulation[0].

I'm defending statistics. If a cop has say a 10% chance of being shot by an armed opponent, then this will occur within 10 such encounters, in expectation. This is ultimately why cops are trained not to gamble. I didn't say 'innocent' people don't get killed. I am saying cops aren't martyrs.

I feel like stepping the reader through creating a whole Mix project was a little bit excessive. Was a simple code snippet demonstrating a process or two (and maybe a module or two) really insufficient for that?

Otherwise a good read. The idea of Elixir/Erlang being "object-oriented" by way of their application of the actor model was one of the "eureka" moments in my transition from procedural languages (in particular, Ruby).

This is getting dinged, but it's a serious concern.

There are only so many board-feet (or linear meters) of high-quality timber available in a given year, and construction (and reconstruction) of cities was responsible for deforestation across widespread areas -- San Francisco denuded most of the San Francisco Bay Area, for example.

Deforestation in Europe from the 1600s onward had a great deal to do with fuelwood consumption, particularly for glass and iron manufacture. Iron used charcoal, at the rate of about 40-80 kg of source fuelwood per kg of produced iron. Structural wood isn't used at quite the same rate, though it remains a concern, particularly for high-yield-strength. Composite timber (plywood, particle board, and other types) reduces the quality requirements somewhat.
That wasn't quite my point. I do agree that "data science" is just marketing jargon for "statistics" (and definitely disagree that it's the same as labeling "programmer" as "software engineer", the way another person commented in response to you), but I don't think any and every programmer can "do data science".

What you describe with respect to data scientists needing help is what I'd call "data engineering." A data science person who is supposed to be doing production-facing engineering should be a competent enough data engineer that he or she can extract information from the data stores without having to have outside help most of the time, but strictly speaking, in my view, these are two different kinds of development.

There's really nothing stopping any of us from building a Swift Tutorial app on Android. I'm sure it's already been done, actually. But why would Apple want to do it?
A lot of people it seems are missing the fact that using SELECT ... INTO is merely one of three ways in which one can arrange to load the malicious shared library. The other two do not involve OUTFILE/DUMPFILE, and secure_file_priv does not apply to them.
I'm all for privacy and tinfoiling, but I have to say they already can do only what we allow. And oh boy do we allow. It's very simple, if you do not want to allow, then don't use service X. To expect some kind of personalised privacy policy deal from these companies is not reasonable. It would be great, but it ain't gonna happen, even if they were willing. It's practically and economically impossible.
