It basically performs the same function as traditional combinatoric optimization algorithms, e.g. simulated annealing and evolutionary optimization, but it does a much much much better job at it since it can test the superposition of the entire search space instead of picking at points here and there.

I've been thinking a lot about how ancient empires operated and functioned, and what institutions they required.

Realise that Egypt, Greece, Macedonia, Rome, Persia, and China each spanned a thousand miles or more, the most effective transportation was over water, either along rivers or across seas or oceans, that ocean travel was impossible for much the year (Roman vessels were restricted to port from November through May, this lasted until the 1300s in Europe), and the minimum time for a message to traverse a thousand miles was easily ten days, if not months.

You needed autonomous lieutenants in place who could be given general orders (much like goal-seeking AI, now that I think about it), be trusted to be only modestly corrupt, not collude with enemies or others against the centre (a frequent problem), and to truthfully report what they'd experienced, in words -- writing existed, but not photography, video, audio, etc. Testimony, that is, someone's testement or attestation of fact, was all you had, though multiple testimonies could be compared against one another.

I find it interesting that every major empirical power had some intrinsic religion, probably serving as a moral check and guidance, a role that's often underappreciated today. Also that other than a set of strictures, the religions themselves often had little in common with one another: polytheistic vs. monotheistic, theistic vs. meditative, commandments vs. ancestor worship or reverence.

It's a topic on which I'm almost wholly ignorant, but find fascinating.
I'm not sure it's really fair to compare Western Europe and former USSR countries in the same breath as the US.

You might as well compare California to Mexico because they share a physical border. You'll find similar disparities in income.

This sounds interesting. I suspect there are many alternate approaches to multiple regex.

Sadly, regex benchmarking is a sewer. There are two classes of multiple regex benchmarks: public ones and good ones, and not much intersection between the two. Synthetic pattern generation can be manipulated to say whatever you want it to say, Snort patterns aren't intended to be run simultaneously (so putting a big pile of them into a sack and running them is of arguable use), and most vendors guard proprietary signature sets closely (we have thousands, but all the good ones are customer confidential).

That being said, there are some paths forward here. Let's talk.
Luckily, we have so many people on the outside flinging poo at us to keep us humble.
I'm surprised at this "Apple not AI" narrative. I've had Google Maps & Waze on my iPhone for years and neither of them seamlessly turned on "where did I park my car" feature. I just turned my iPhone on one morning and it just told me. Now, mind you, this may not be a fancy deep learning model. It could be some simple linear model, maybe a tree model, hell, maybe it's hardcoded rules? But despite these things Apple delivered a great feature which is in the realm of what I would consider "AI enabled feature".

Mind you, I don't have an Android device, so maybe Google Maps does this automatically for you on Andriod. It doesn't do it on the iPhone, at least not automatically (aka. I don't bother to look it up, which is kind of the point).
So, half the hn crowd see this report as a partisan biased attempt to push legalization, and the other half see it as a partisan biased attempt to suppress legalization...

Externality != "hard to model". Rather, it means difficult to internalise.

Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons" gives a quite simple model of what an externality can be (overgrazing). The problem isn't in the modelling, but rather in the mutual enforcement of a collectively beneficial behavior.

That isn't to say that there aren't costs which are hard to model, but that's an orthogonal issue, and can apply just as well to internalised effects (e.g., the goodwill loss of a massive security breach) as to externalities.

Goodwill loss is not an externality.

I agree, adamantly, with your comment that businesses are frequently not enlightened or intelligent enough to model full costs. I'm seeing the issue of the long-term development of both cost and benefit awareness as a pressing issue, general to economics. It undermines many of the assertions of market efficiency.
I keep seeing this guy's video pop up and he's pretty much just a talking head.

He's also wrong about a lot of things. He's confusing IP assignment and DNS assignment. He also likes to bash the UN in this video while bashing the US gov in others.

Most of his arguments here are pretty non sequitur. He's somehow drawing parallels between the Snowden leaks and moving ICANN to international governance, even though international governance was part of the original charter from ICANN years before this.

There are better threads on HN that address this argument.

I've seen news talking about similar ideas (one in France) where a woman just host a bunch of people with mental afflictions. They seem to live way better than in hospitals. At first they almost look like any normal family. Just thinking about it makes me happy. Social bond seems to be more important than "medical therapy" in common hospitals.

It's not Google Maps, but rather Google Now that has the "where did I park my car" for quite awhile (2.5 years) now:

https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6015842?hl=en

Google Now generally seems to be where all that automated stuff goes, so if you don't use it that would explain why you don't see any of it.
I see how one could interpret it that way. I meant to imply rather that software generally needs to be regularly changed in order to continue providing value to its paying customers.

At minimum, you've got keeping up with security patches, library/framework deprecations etc. Software which has literally not been changed in years is often an insecure timebomb, with unpatched vulnerabilities, and as soon as you do need to change it, you're stuck because all its dependencies are deprecated. Besides, you also need to keep up with the market, competitors, customers' usage patterns changing, etc.

You're doing effectively the same thing, but in reverse. That article just demonizes introverts.

Both groups exist, they have their differences. One group may have a better average experience than another (I think introverts and night owls, overall, are a bit less socially accepted). But this just devolves into two groups separating and throwing stones over the fence. We should mind our differences and not spread whatever bad experiences we may have encountered due to them onto others who had no part.
I'm not sure forking would be worthwhile, I think the issue people have with systemd is one of goals and structure of the operating system. Any fork that satisfied the other side would not even be in the same category of software.
There were a couple papers a year ago showing pretty convincingly that yes there is some entanglement between some of its qubits. But from what I've seen there's zero evidence that they've done anything that would be hard for a classical computer. All signs thus far point to snake oil, but with a genuinely great team. They'll probably do something interesting 5 years from now and then Geordie will point back at all the naysayers and say "see I told you so!!"

It's not fear mongering. Some of the ideas I hear from people on this forum, from academia, and the likes are just downright terrifying, and we don't even know what future AI will be capable of.

We have to decide as a society, and decide really soon how far we are willing to take AI research.

We built the nuclear bomb, but we decided when to stop. We didn't build more advanced bombs that could level entire providences, even though we very well could have. I know this sounds ridiculous, in that we aren't talking the same level of potential devastation, but it's the principle I am after.
It was already done by DOD under Walker's Computer Security Initiative. It succeeded with numerous, high-assurance products coming to market with way better security than their competitors. Here's the components it had:

1. A clear set of criteria for information security for the businesses to develop against with various sets of features and assurance activities representing various levels of security.

2. Private and government evaluators to independently review the product with evidence it met the standard.

3. Policy to only buy what was certified to that criteria.

Criteria was called TCSEC with Orange Book covering systems plus "rainbow collection" covering the rest. IBM was first to be told no in an embarrassing moment. Many systems at B3 or A1, most secure, were produced with a mix of special-purpose (eg guards) or general-purpose (eg kernels or VMM's). The extra methods consistently caught more problems than traditional systems with pentesting confirming they were superior. Changes in policy to focus on COTS not GOTS... for competition or campaign contributors I'm not sure... combined with NSA's MISSI initiative killed the market off. Got simultaneously improved and neutered afterward into Common Criteria.

Summary here:

Example of security kernel model in VAX hypervisor done by legendary Paul Karger. See Design and Assurance sections especially then compare to what OSS projects you know are doing:

Best production example of capability-based security was KeyKOS. Esp see "KeyKOS NanoKernel" & "KeySAFE" docs:

https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~KeyKOS/

So, that was government, corporations, and so-called IT security industry threw away in exchange for what methods and systems we have. No surprise the results disappeared with them. Meanwhile, a select few under Common Criteria and numerous projects in CompSci continued to use those methods with amazing results predicted by empirical assessments from 1970's-1980's that led to them being in criteria in first place. Comparing CompCert's testing with Csmith to most C compilers will give you an idea of what A1/EAL7 methods can do. ;)

So, just instituting what worked before minus the military-specific stuff and red tape would probably work again. We have better tools now, too. I wrote up a brief essay on how we might do the criteria that I can show you if you want.

It uses a combination of Bluetooth (if you're near/connected to your car's stereo), motion sensor and GPS.

If you started moving at 70KM/h nowhere near a train or bus station, and then suddenly stopped moving at that speed and shortly after started moving at 5KM/h, you've clearly just got out of your car. Use bluetooth for extra verification if possible. When certain, get location (or load location) from GPS and mark spot. Tadaa, no fancy learning model needed.
Don't get me wrong, I completely agree marijuana should be legalized. I was simply commenting on the ridiculousness of the Koch brothers version of "libertarianism". It reminds me of the people calling the nordic countries "socialist" (remind me which means of production the state has forcefully taken in Sweden). Words have meaning, and bastardizing them annoys me.

I'm surprised that none of the quantum computing companies I've seen are talking about moving from copper wires to optical wires. It feels a bit like putting a Ferrari engine into a VW Bug.
I don't think that was within the scope of the study at all. Not saying that I disagree, but it's not an answer or to any of the questions being asked, and certainly not a refute to any of the study's attempts at answers.
It was a rhetorical question to invite further discussion. Your assumptions about where I wanted the discussion to go from there are just that, assumptions.

And no, I don't believe that Native Americans have such rights, either. But since you sounded like you believe that you do, it was a comparison that practically begged to be made.

>> Apple's approach to AI is to make AI largely an implementation detail of the experience rather than a user-visible component.

That sums it up nicely, I'm a bit embarrassed those features didn't cross my mind when thinking about Apple/AI. Reinforces your point - its use in invisible, much like their presence in this consortium.
If you mean in a "quantum computer" sense, no. They're slower than classical alternatives for sure, and significant entanglement has yet to be demonstrated. Even theoretically, D-Wave has yet to produce any reasons to believe the mechanism of operation is quantum in any significant way.

Remember your CPU requires quantum mechanics to explain its operation (above and beyond "that's why the atoms don't implode"), so "it does quantum things" does not a quantum computer make.
How so? Libertarianism allows for the control to shift to local governments where citizens can have more power over their society. It's not the absence of government but a framework to protect individual liberty. You'd still have government functions locally.

There are many types of learning and it boils down to motivation. If you are supposed to learn something because you boss told you but you resist because simply you disagree, then it'll be really hard to learn that thing.

On the other hand, if you have a goal that for example you want to be a generative artist then you'll have a good time learning about math and various algorithms. Learning is achieved via repetition and practice, so don't stop at watching YouTube videos. Put those thing to practice. Rinse a repeat.

If you lack motivation, you could also try various focus boosting drugs, but don't ask me, I haven't tried any.

Those sound like features that would be perfect for a learning model, otherwise you're stuck hardcoding the conditions and thresholds, no?

Cheese is more than just tolerable: by reducing the amount of lactose present, it turns milk into a food for lactose-intolerant adults. It is thought that adult lactose intolerance was the primal state of humanity, and that cheese consumption was a step on the way to adult tolerance, in those cultures that developed it.

There was no hidden agenda. If I was trying to refute the article or the findings I would have. I think the criminalization of marijuana was and continues to be ridiculous. I was simply making the point that the Koch brothers support of marijuana should not give anyone the illusion they're fighting for the little guy.
economically free?? everything is forbidden, regulated, enforced and your neighbor will call the police on you there.
Nobody mentioned yet the swiss apprenticeship system. Most young people make one and I think it is a main factor.
The thing is the economy nearly always educates as much people as it needs. Within a 10 year range there should be always as much people as needed. So if one sector grows there are usually more available apprenticeships in that sector so that withing 10 years this hole should get fixed.
Also I should mention that this is mostly good for the median person not for the top 1%.
I get the feeling (and its more likely) that D-Wave has solved the P=NP question in the affirmative and have polynomial equations to solve NP problems. As far as I know, getting qubits to stay coherent is a difficult, unsolved problem as the number of qubits increases. Of the QC research that I have read about they are using a handful of qubits to factor really small numbers like 15. Nobody, at least publicly, is even working with 100's of qubits let alone 2K.

To avoid public disclosure that P=NP (and losing out on any way to monetize their discovery) they are hiding their work behind a "quantum computer" which is a vague and sophisticated enough cover (nobody really understands quantum physics) to dupe some customers while the P equations run in ring-zero of a normal CPU. What would be interesting is to read the sales contracts for these machines. My guess is they are written in such a way that D-Wave makes no promises or guarantee that they are actually using qubits to solve customer's problems, just that they promise to solve customer's NP problems with D-Wave computers, regardless of the method. Moreover, I'd bet that the language states that the machines sold are "equivalent" to a 2000 qubit computer and not necessarily a 2KQbit processors. In this way D-wave is off the legal hook if/when the NP=P solution is revealed by D-Wave or others. My second guess is that these sales contracts are protected by NDA's.
So, not that different from Basel III?
Instead of talking about Unix philosophy let me put it this way. I love whitebox components I can swap out for competing components. Systemd threatens that for me.
Eh. I live in San Francisco and USPS was so bad that I broke down and got a PO box a few years ago. I would regularly get people's magazines and whatnot from the same house number a few blocks away. Mail between my house and both of my next door neighbors' houses gets mixed up frequently enough that my landlady put a big sign on the house with instructions for the mail carrier.

You're gonna have problems with all carriers at some point. You're talking about a very labor intensive and time sensitive job. Someone's gonna get tired at the end of the day or need to meet unrealistic performance metrics. Shit happens.

What put USPS over the top for me though was the PO box. That affords me a semi-anonymous address and the ability to pick up packages at my convenience. If you get a box at the Lakeshore station they're even open on Sundays.
