You could do that if you wanted (and it'll be efficient but in a very local sense).

But this article is mainly helpful for battery and mobile usage of IoT devices. At home, the biggest energy guzzlers are the components of your HVAC system, heating, air-conditioning, refrigeration, electric stove, etc. Their power consumption scale is roughly a million times that of all the IoT devices combined. You're not saving anything if you're only making IoT power consumption more efficient at home.
The other scenario I thought about was the unique browser footprint. Info in server logs that is very specific to someone's machine and the way they have it setup (screen size, os, browser and a host of other info). In certain cases the probability becomes highly likely that it can be linked to another log where your identity is known because the same footprint (not sure if that's the correct word) is in that other log.

That sounds like a reasonable question to me. If you're rolling your own versions of built-in constructs then you're writing code that's hard for other people to maintain. It's a bad sign when the interviewee writes weird, non-idiomatic code. I interview people all of the time who say that the programming language they're most familiar with is Java but use classic Java 1.4 style iterators to loop over a List. It's a huge red flag.
There's less flexibility than you might think - you get only one choice of quantizer and quantization matrix for the entire frame. So pretty much your only option is to twiddle the values themselves. This is usually done with trellis quantization, such as in mozjpeg. Guetzli seems to implement something simpler that just sets increasing numbers of coefficients to zero (based on my cursory reading of the source code).
We don't. But maybe only because we havent asked this question enough. And maybe because the answer might yield a future without a role for humans in it. And perhaps we don't have the means to account for such a fate.

The human form evolved in an environment of scarcity. Early humans had to provide for food three times a day, and often risked their lives to procure it. On the contrary, the average AWS instance almost never shuts down for lack of power.

We might not have a better model right now, but it seems extremely unlikely that AI will look anything close to the model we are talking about.
This isn't a clear "everyone is worse off" situation. The tradeoff gets you closer to a society where everyone can participate with reasonable accommodation. Whether this level of fairness is worth the cost is a legitimate point to discuss, but it's not really fair to elide the fact that people value a fair society.

It is also affecting online users, not just the desktop client - "The affected users are able to access Google Drive, but are seeing error messages and/or other unexpected behavior."
Until society as a whole recognizes the imperative to uplift all its members it does not deserve to move on.

In this case a reasonable response from society, for example, may have been "ok UCB how much will it cost you to sub those? alright, we'll give you the funds from tax money." Lacking such a response all UCB could do was go "oh society, you don't want to help? then you don't get to keep this."

Keep in mind that only a short-sighted person would say UCB messed up here. They didn't. The USA as a whole messed up, so the USA as a whole gets the stick.

Our baseline for effectiveness (specifically with regard to the Global Health and Development Fund, which is managed by GiveWell founder Elie Hassenfeld) is Givewell's top charities. So, it's entirely possible that Elie will choose to grant to these, in which case your donation will be exactly as effective as donating to Givewell, but you'll get the advantage of using the EA Funds platform — e.g. single tax receipt (donating to one org instead of 3-4), easy recurring donations, the ability to change your donation preferences later, allocating to causes outside of global health, donation tracking etc. etc.

However, we do think there's a good chance of getting higher returns. Givewell recommendations skew towards what makes sense for an average, individual donor with a particular risk profile. By having access to a larger pool of funds, you could seed new high-expected-value charities that wouldn't necessarily make it onto Givewell's recommendation list, but are nonetheless potentially high impact (examples of recent things in this space — New Incentives, Charity Science Health etc).

From the article, "US tech giant made “inexcusable” errors in terms of transparency and oversight when handling sensitive medical information."

That makes it sound like this is all more about the policies and agreements on how the data would be handled rather than, say, anything incorrect with the DeepMind algorithm.

This is a good idea that has some interesting legal implications (e.g., the target site's network is never accessed by the software, so CFAA claims are likely irrelevant), but probably isn't enough to cover all the bases. I wanted to try something like this before I got C&D'd, but my lawyer informed that doing it after the fact could potentially constitute conspiracy and cause a lot of problems.

I did this the first time (based on a post at Metafilter derived from the original article mentioned in this piece - https://www.metafilter.com/115702/Oniongate) and that was a good approach because it took me out of the process which meant I didn't touch the onions or fiddle with the temperature or anything and 8 hours later I finally got the difference.

Why shouldn't the New York Times be held accountable?

Stop running with fake news and non-stories to push an agenda. Major news organization should be compelled to print the facts and instead go on a constant witch hunt (eg Maddow's non-story about Trump's taxes). They are trying to undermine the administration of the president of the united states. This should not be taken lightly.

And despite (maybe in spite of) the constant aggression towards potus and his administration, the people trust Trump more than the media.

And just because someone has a small blog, they still shouldn't make up stories.

Remember this?

It's a bit of a glib argument but it does hold water.

The main points are that a timeframe of 30 years is actually quite short. While the moving image on film has only been around for about 120 years, ideally archivists would have film copies that would last far longer than that. Our idea of a computer in 120 years may be very different from what we currently use. More mundanely, what about when the last optical drive is manufactured? We'll suddenly have a finite number of reads left in the world. Or the hard drive connector breaks and it hasn't been manufactured for 30 years. Sure, a special one-off manufacturing run is certainly possible, but could a struggling and under-staffed archive afford to do that for every one of it's thousand hard drives, especially when it may not know exactly what's on every one of them?

I'm know I'm being a devil's advocate here, but I did want to illustrate that every unknown part of this equation is exactly what scares working archivists.

Nash equilibria are still guaranteed to exist. But it's only the 2p zero-sum perfect recall case where an equilibrium has useful properties, like being robust against any opponent strategy, including a worst-case opponent who knows your strategy. In a multiplayer (> 2 players) game, opponents can collude against you and playing your part of a Nash gives no useful guarantees on performance. Even if they aren't colluding, in poker games, the presence of a bad player just before you in turn order can hurt your EV worse than their own. And even if all players independently compute their own Nash equilibria (there can be many) and use the piece for their position, then that combination of strategies may not itself be a Nash equilibria.

IMO it's an open question. There is not much statically typed lisp AFAIK.
I'm not a mocking expert, but of all the solutions I've seen -Wl,--wrap=[blah] feels like the most straightforward, yeah. I also like how it's in your build system and you don't write a bunch of twisted code or auto-gen'd headers and redirects. It's appealing enough to make me wonder if there's an obvious reason people don't use it.

Hi, this statement is objectively, entirely, incorrect. I assume you are talking about English. I have used YouTube's subtitles on Berkeley's lectures, and they are almost entirely correct; the errors that are present do not impede understanding. E.g. in a math lecture if a lecturer sees x with a subscript zero, and they say "x naught", YouTube captions might say "x not".
Nothing wrong with functional languages, and from my experience an engineer who knows one or two functional dialects tends to be pretty good. Exceptions exist but they are rare. We also give our candidates the freedom to use any language they want. After all, there are only four language families; the rest is mostly syntax.

But I do carve out a special exemption for myself when[+] I interview someone. I kindly request the candidates that they don't use Scala or Prolog.

+: I interview a lot of people.
> it should be noted that libraries don't profit by rummaging through the books you read to advertise to you.

They do present/display/advertise their most popular books. They track and fine you if you keep a book too long. They determine how much a book has been checked out and track usage at an analytics level to determine if the book should be taken out of circulation.

Maybe search engines should have a special status like libraries enjoy, but it's worth noting the centuries it took for public libraries to become a municipal requirement.

It does seem familiar, but it doesn't seem like Foucault. If power's everywhere, it can hardly be a bad thing in itself. The point isn't to oppose it, but to be cognizant of it, to play with it and to not get trapped in other people's usage of it.
What about JS with multiple idiomatic styles? I was asked what filter and each do, which I wrote out because they are super small. Easier to show a little code to explain.
I'm not going to deny the existence of comparative advantage. At the same time, I'm not going to claim we live in a passionless universe either. If a hedge fund manager desires to beat the market, she is going to study the financials, etc. If she is also passionate about boiler chickens, why would she outsource that to someone else? Unless, of course, her passion for the market is greater than her love for boiler chickens. And, if that's the case, can you say she cares for boiler chickens or only wishes to care for boiler chickens. There is a huge difference. As they say, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

As far as HSUS is concerned, I'm viewing the issue from my context. EAF wanted feedback, and I gave it. More than likely I'm wrong and perhaps the greater good is being served; although, it would help if that were being measured in some way.

Finally, from what I've seen, I do believe many non-profits could use a hand from people with quantitative backgrounds. If those people ascribe to EA, they'll never join a non-profit.

I am curious your thoughts on the following. It seems like there is a trough of benefit to AWS. In the mid-size world, especially where computing needs are relatively stable/predictable, you are much better leasing dedicated servers from the usual suspects. Below that size, the linear scaling allows small scrappy startups to really scale/burst with their needs. And at large scale, but below Google/Facebook et al scale, it's cheaper than building your own datacenter yourself. At least this has been my casual observations. And fwiw, the startup I have just launched fits into this trough perfectly. So hopefully I am not just biased. I love the cloud for the spot market. But not for our base load. Spot is the nat gas of the server world, and OVH is the coal.

The grand irony is that this guy is absolutely wrong about caramelizing onions. It simply does not have to take 45 minutes to caremelize onions. Sure, you can do it in that amount of time, but he's wrong. His "crusade" is based on incorrect information.

One of the best tricks I've learned for quickly caramelizing onions is to not use any oil in the pan; the oil is more likely to cause it to burn. No oil; slightly over medium heat; a thick pan; barely any stirring; slices evenly cut; that's all you need.
The core products are the shows, not the tech.
For getting a job at Google/Facebook/Amazon/X cool startup, it's a lot more important to do some narrow-minded rote-memorization of algorithms and data structures and hone the skills talked about in a small set of books like Cracking the Coding Interview than to learn something really interesting, or become good at a certain thing, or build some cool shit.

Most interviewers aren't really interested in figuring out "is it worthwhile that you built this thing / did you do it right / why do you think this was something worth learning?" when it's so much easier to evaluate your whiteboard code on a narrow problem against some ideal standard solution.

You can tell them about how you were able to learn enough about a particular database in a couple weeks to be able to cut 90% of the runtime out of a hot query in your first few months at a job, since that was an area that wasn't scaling well and it was something your boss asked if you could take a look at, and they'll be like "ok that's nice, now implement a trie." What's the point of even having experience building and running real systems if that's the process?

If you'd rather be building than practicing whiteboard questions, your best path to success is probably going to be a less predictable one where you need to come across one of the right companies willing to work harder at interviewing because they have to find the best candidates who fall through the cracks at the places with the name recognition.
Actually, most "effective altruists" support habitat destruction because it reduces the number of animals, and therefore also the amount of suffering.

I find this very disturbing. If you want details, see my other comment on this item: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13886954

Of course, EAs won't tell you this up front, as they know it would be bad PR. (cf. https://medium.com/@jacobfunnell/a-year-in-effective-altruis...: "Some effective altruists hold views that would be strongly controversial to most people outside of EA. EA does a pretty good job of either not mentioning (or actively avoiding) these conclusions in its public-facing literature. Examples include the moral imperative to destroy habitat in order to reduce wild animal suffering, the need to divert funds away from causes like poverty relief and towards artificial intelligence safety research, or the extreme triviality of aesthetic value.")

There has been quite a bit of work (and several papers) on using CFR for games with >2 players. It is not theoretically guaranteed to converge to a Nash, and usually doesn't in practice either (there's one case in a toy game, in 3p Kuhn poker, where it does converge). However, even though it doesn't converge to Nash, the algorithm is still well defined, and the resulting strategies appear strong in competitions against other computer adversaries, as demonstrated in the Annual Computer Poker Competition.
i'm new here and have no idea how long comments are allowed to be. there's a lot to say, but i'll try to be succinct. (and probably fail.)

1) the quickest way to make bad AI is to train it on bad data. and the internet is the king of bad data. if the New York Times is putting out bad recipes and if other humans are regularly buying into fake news articles, blaming the google algorithm seems like shooting the messenger for echoing the low standards of society.

2) many (though not all) of these questions are injecting presuppositions. when you ask google "how long does it take to caramelize onions," you're implying that such a thing can be quantified. you'll get answers which try to tell you how long it takes because semantically that's what fits. but in reality, a lot of things are done when they look done. or done when they smell done. or done when they're thick enough to form peaks.

so i really think this is a human problem. as much as we want to error-proof all our software, in the world of general AI, we will need people to interact responsibly.
We're literally hacking on this right now. It should be part of the early June stable release.
