I've been working 11 years on symbolic approaches to AGI using OpenCyc as the unifying ontology, and construction grammar as the mechanism for natural language understanding and generation. Deep learning and Bayesian methods are great for low level operations to get to the higher symbolic level, i.e. you need parameter values for the APIs your system employs.

I, among a few, believe that current datacenter hardware is sufficient for human level AGI provided the behaviors are coded into programs and knowledge bases. Deductive inference, in particular, compiles nicely to program code, which after all what a compiler actually is - a narrow-purpose symbolic deduction engine.

AGI will obviously explode in interest, way beyond Deep Learning, should a single compelling application demonstrate recursive self-improvement.

Being a born engineer is not the same thing as being born into various external circumstances.

> It's probably best to agree to disagree as to how much someone at the bottom can influence their situation in the modern day. You're talking about nearly a century ago.

You're right it's different today. There's a lot MORE opportunity today than a century ago. Heck, I can get any information I want about any field of knowledge by pushing a button at my desk. How awesome is that? How about all those people becoming billionaires in their early 20s? That was utterly unheard of 50 years ago.
Its hard to tell because they change pricing based on so many other factors relating to browser usage history. Try an aggregator with the same query in both a normal tab and a private tab after doing a bunch of googling for the destination.

This is true but in this case the health issue doesn't appear to be an instance of something statistically normal just popping up for a work-unrelated reason. It seems very clear that the manager acting on Google's behalf directly impacted the health of the employee in a negative way by placing an unreasonable amount of stress on him and the employees around him, while ignoring their complaints.

I suppose the question is whether the manager's behaviour is something permitted by Google as a company and the quotes from HR in the article imply that it is.
Also: "This is because to measure its position you have to disturb its momentum...". Another article in the long, illustrious tradition of mis-explaining HUP as being due to measurement "disturbing" some property or the other.
Various contemporary views and practices concerning copyright and attribution are fairly recent constructions.

Prior to the introduction of moveable-type printing to Europe, ~1440, and excepting the Classics (Greek and Roman works), authorship and authority were not particularly highly considered. Without the means to cheaply reproduce and sell works, authorship wasn't a key concern. There were ~30,000 volumes (as in books, total, not merely titles) in all of Europe in 1400. By 1500, 20 million, and approaching 1 billion by 1800. Literacy and costs (in wage hours) also changed tremendously, rising (from ~5-10% to 90%+) and falling (from ~$0.5 to $1 million modern equivalent, to perhaps a few dollars for a work) as well.

"Moral rights" of authorship are a French tradition, though I'm not certain of the date of origin. Modern copyright law dates to 1709 and the Statute of Anne.
No argument there.

I've also had times where the charge was more than it showed upfront. I think what's going on there is I'm let off and the driver marks it as the location I left, which is a tiny bit away from the original destination, so it recalculates the fee and no longer uses the fixed fee. They should be able to tell if the dropoff location is within say 1000 feet of the expected destination and not charge more.

You pay for service, and the equipment is optional - the rental fee can be waived and you can provide your own equipment. The fact that your equipment works better is not a violation of their contract, unless they specifically said you would get 120Mbps with their equipment. Which they would never say, because there is no guarantee your computer can even handle that speed, and it's always been known that cable speeds vary per neighborhood and household.

So, no, there's probably not a class action case. Just stop renting crap equipment and buy a DOCSIS 3.0 modem and a router that does at least 150mbps.

That is not going to win the driver a good rating - or do you not get to rate the driver in that case? Either way, a pattern of such events (with the same bogus reason given) would suggest that someone - the drivers, Uber itself, or both - has found a way to screw customers.

With medical issues, I'd expect there would be a point at which computers are so much more accurate that humans wouldn't be able to tell.

An analogy is instant replay in football. There are some plays that are just so close, that they can't overrule the field judge - and wouldn't be able to even if the field judge made the opposite ruling!

That being said, you're betting on humans to be irrational, and that is always a good bet unfortunately.
This smells like the prototypical A/B-tested product 'optimization' that has become widespread these days. Sure the data probably makes it look like an unequivocal win in the short term, but it compounds ill will towards the platform every time someone goes downstairs to meet their car 10 minutes too early in a downpour.

The events the article described do appear unusual for Google, I hear mostly good things too but there have been quite a few reports of terrible working conditions in the "bets" that have some amount of autonomy. The main one that comes to mind is Nest, which was asked to work weekends: http://www.businessinsider.com/whats-going-on-at-nest-2016-2

I feel like perhaps Google isn't as strict on their management as it is on its own.

I'll also note that while I hear mostly good things about Google, they are mixed. It seems a bad manager can certainly make life pretty bad for engineers, despite the company as a whole being generally good.
heh, just did :)
Sorry for the delay - this response got caught up in the rate limiter.

Yes, the archive functionality is available to everyone, and will export the source code, documentation, license, issues, and downloads.

For source code history, it depends on the source code type. For Git and Mercurial projects, we'll include the .git/.hg folder so you have the full history; for TFS, it'll be just the snapshot as of read-only.

I love how he says “revel in the asynchrony” when discussing distributed systems.

In a more general sense, taking the bull by the horns and dealing with the underlying, sometimes unwanted, realities of the system rather than burying one’s head in the sand and pretending the problems do not exist (only to be forced to deal with them later and apply band-aid solutions that are not robust).

As he goes on to say Rather than trying to hide it, you accept it and design for it.
So one of the explanations I've recently read covered amount of jobs lost to immigrants. And it seems that it's not that high, or even negative.

the theory for increasing the work force is that - the new workers don't displace jobs as much as they also create them.

So those new workers have to eat, sleep and wear clothes.

All of which are needs that have to be met, and so jobs and demand which is also created.

Im guessing, The question is which jobs are taken, and at what wage.
Comcast supplies any new customer with a D3.0 modem from one of their suppliers (Arris, Cisco (now Technicolor) or Technicolor). Some of these models are known to have horrendous wifi. If you get one of the old models, Please please turn to "BRIDGED" mode and buy a decent dual-band 802.11ac router.

OR

go ahead and purchase one of the retail modems and a seperate. If you want option of upgrading the Firmware and controlling your Router, buy a separate modem and separate Router. A customer CANNOT upgrade any Firmware on the modem or if is a Combo device. If one of the Favourite vendor has a bug with Portforwarding or something, your modem is pretty much paperweight unless Vendor is willing to fix it quickly and Comcast can push the FW to you quickly. All this can easily take 3+ months for Urgent bugs.

If you are buying new modems and are on service tier > 100 Mbps, Please buy 16x4 Bonding Modems as minimum

If you are on extreme 250 or 300 Mbps package, Please buy atleast 24x8 or 32x8 modem. 32x8 modems based off INTEL puma6 had a critical latency bug but I have heard it is fixed in the field now.

If you are on Gigabit, you kind of stuck with Comcast modem for now until they let people active DOCSIS 3.1 modems. They can activate for other tiers but NOT gigabit.

That's correct. The archive site will be a new, read-only architecture that serves static content. We'll be decommissioning the current TFS, Git, and Mercurial servers after 12/15/17.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I saw a Uber-labeled vehicle tday on I-280 near Woodside, equipped with an older model rotating Velodyne scanner on top. It didn't look like Uber's publicly known self-driving cars. It was doing a steady 45 in the middle lane, and I suspect it was mapping, not self-driving.

I chatted with a Verizon representative the other day, only because their website does not support discontinuation of service to a device. I tried calling and got a long wait and when a "How can I help you?" message popped up I gave it a shot. Worked well, got my problem solved very quickly, not a huge fan though.
When I sign up for services where the goal is to get tech support (i.e. StackExchange, Discord, Slack) I use a female persona.

It's ridiculous how far people will go to help a "woman" online.
We do not, although in practice as a guest you wouldn't necessarily know one way or another.

Speaking from (decently informed) personal opinion here--

I see SR-IOV as a means to achieving certain networking characteristics, but one that historically didn't play particularly nicely with live migration (among other things), and one that locks you into particular silicon vendors, etc. It's a bit unfortunate that SR-IOV is often assumed as a prerequisite for high throughput, low latency, low jitter networking. On its own it doesn't guarantee any of those things (you're still beholden to the VCPU scheduler, if nothing else, and there's a lot of 'else'), and it's also not the only way to achieve those things. In particular there are a lot of ways to dedicate hardware to I/O service they aren't SR-IOV

Sarcasm aside, sadly, if you build it they will come doesn't particularly work.

Say you're made a new flavor of ketchup. Your product tests show people love it much better than anything else in the market. Arguably you are adding value to those people's lives with it.

Now it won't sell at all and recoup your investment and arguably actually add value to people's lives unless they know about it and try it - hence advertising.
Now that I've reviewed the Chelsio doc more carefully I've noticed that DDP is actually part of iWarp so the TCP offload you mentioned is just one part of iWarp that happens to be transparent to user space which is quite interesting. That being said iWarp has lost out to RoCE mainly because of latency and not throughput. I guess that I'm just more biased towards lower latency (at the same bandwidth) because it is empirically better, even though for most applications 10us vs 1us is negligible. That and because I work in low latency trading.

To clarify my thoughts on this: It sounds like you're saying "If someone is motivated and smart, they can always make significant opportunities for themselves."

That's a very convenient model, isn't it? If someone fails to make opportunities for themselves, then they must not be very smart and motivated.

It's like epicycles: The model can fit however you want it to fit. That's why it's worth being suspicious of it.

I created an architecture nearly exactly like this named "Fuzed" quite some time ago: https://github.com/KirinDave/fuzed

Our findings in production were very much inline with this without the additional wrinkle of Redux server-side (which I decline to comment on), and of course Erlang doesn't virtualize Actors.

Sadly the SPOF-mitigation I did was never really released integrated with Fuzed.

But this kind of system offers FANTASTIC flexibility when done correctly, and allows you to do what many AWS-based folks also enjoy doing: allowing new and development resources to run peered to production resources for limited trials and easy experimentation.

We might have a definition problem, where some institutions that offer what amounts to a technical education (i.e. with almost no mandatory "theoretical" courses) call themselves "colleges".

Japanese milk is almost exclusively UHT. Heat treatment at 120 degrees for 2 seconds is the norm.

Are _you_ one of those workers who _has_ to eat, sleep and wear clothes? Do you also have kids? And a need for housing? And a spouse? And the probability that any one of you could get sick at any moment, or the fact that government takes 25% of your $30,000 every year? What if you or your spouse gets laid off because your jobs are being sent to Mexico?

(I'm not making this last point up by the way. I was warned that if we didn't become more efficient our jobs would be sent to Mexico.)

I'm not trying to be irrational here. I'm just saying that you're thinking at the margin about people's lives, and over time margins get eroded, then eroded some more, then a little more... hence the numbers this person is highlighting.

And, over the course of nearly a century, we see it has dramatic effects.

EDIT: I might also make the point that women entering the workforce definitely, by the looks of these numbers, didn't drive a vast expansion in the number of jobs. Rather, it displaced many men who _used_ to have those jobs, and proved its inflexibility at the same time.

I went to one of those once and while the cost was in total < $100, I received multiple lab bills months after the fact. That makes it impossible to predict the costs ever after seeing the doctor.
