>here is basically no real threat to European countries atm.

The key word here is atm (at this moment, I guess). The problem with military capabilities is that they can't ramp up quickly -- it takes years. Relying on what's needed atm is shortsightedness at very least. Many countries in history paid a very painful price for it, or even ceased to exist. A very recent example is Ukraine. It had exactly the same attitude -- "we don't have enemies atm, why bother". Until suddenly it had.

F.E.A.R. is a great case study in this respect, because the enemy AI is absurdly simple. Enemies only have 3 states, plus a plan.

The neat trick was that instead of embedding the logic for changing state and setting parameters into the states themselves, they built a planning system which declares goals for the AI, and then allows the AI to procedurally generate the sequence of states it needs go through in order to be at that goal.

To this day F.E.A.R.'s enemy AI is praised for being extremely deadly and realistic.

Uh, guys with the big bucks: AL/ML are at most a tiny fraction of the material, tools, power, and value of the pure/applied math on the shelves of the research libraries.

If you have a problem you want solved with AI/ML, 99 44/100% of the time you are better off going for what's on the shelves of the libraries, as taught in various high end grad schools, than with anything currently specifically AL/ML.

So, broadly, go for work in statistics, optimization, stochastic processes, and optimal control. For a specific application, may want some work that stands on that existing material and is also at least somewhat original.

E.g., the crucial technical core of my startup is some original applied math I derived based on pure/applied math that's long been on the shelves of the research libraries. For the valuable work of my startup, what's in AI/ML now is in comparison at best weak, nearly silly early grade school baby talk.

Really, guys, 99 44/100% of the good stuff is still where it's long been -- on the shelves of the best research libraries. And for the education for that work, it's definitely NOT in departments of computer science. Instead look at selected programs in pure/applied math in some of the best research universities.
But somebody had to write code that recognizes that an emissions test is being performed, no? I mean that sounds like it would be more involved than just loading some different set of parameters.

Well I will gladly change my mind anytime someone can provide a convincing argument against the "bitcoin pyramid scheme" that is nor an ad-hominem attack, neither a cryptic response like "value come from scarcity induced by the growing complexity of the arbitrary mathematical problem solving that require big amount of current tech silicium mostly running in a non-democratic country who don't care about power efficiency...(goes on with technical gibberish)"

My theory is that if MasterCard roll-out a "masterbyte" crypto-currency that can automagically convert to real cash usable in all MasterCard enabled retails, bitcoin will loose all value almost overnight. Prove me wrong using strong arguments and I'll change my mind.

PS: needless to say, downvoting me don't count as an argument. It just keep me thinking that you are in lack of a better one.
Not at all. The parent was talking about a pattern of behavior, not an isolated incident. I've had the same experience; some people just want to make a problem out of everything instead of chosing their battles wisely and finding workable solution.
I'm not sure what the long term effects of chronic melatonin supplementation are, but I'll find out eventually. I've been taking between 3-6mg of melatonin every night for the past few years (2011?) It's almost required. Without it my sleep cycle seems fine at first, but then gets out of whack as I can't seem to keep a circadian rhythm in line with the rest of society / the earth's rotation.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I can't function mentally without caffeine. I tried going off caffeine a few times, and while the withdrawal effects were horrible, they eventually passed and everything felt great except my ability to concentrate on anything. Sadly I can't afford to see a doctor for my ADHD meds. While caffeine helps, it still leaves much to be desired.

Exercise helps immensely, both in terms of sleep and ability to concentrate, but at some point I injured my upper back (rhomboids and rotator cuff muscles), so I can't get the same level of exercise I had before.
this is a great point. And given market caps I doubt there are any sizeable funds invested, which may point to no bubble at all.
Sometimes people are speaking from direct experience with well-validated medical conditions fucking up their lives for multiple decades until someone eventually bothered to actually order the relevant diagnostic test.

This is exactly what I've been thinking. Above mentioned conversation is so rich that a lot of humans couldn't follow it in such a manner. And yet, there wouldn't be any doubts when talking with them face to face. Is this the right test after all? Or rather the question is, what are we testing actually? It seems to be nothing more than a mimicking human behavior. In this case - very smart and eloquent human. And this is exactly what Turing test is[1]. But does AI need to be able to follow such sophisticated dialogue to be considered an independent, self aware being?

Earplugs take away a lot of the noise, the only thing might be that if they don't fit, i.e. are a bit too big, then they can be somewhat uncomfortable after half the night.

How much extra security does this actually provide over a subscription-based VPN service?

I think it's meant as a response to the election maps that show Trump favorable areas covering about 90% of the US. The fact is very few, if any, people live in much of the US so the map doesn't show what some people think it does.
A well-intentioned article, but it makes the usual set of mistakes. After discussing gender, racial, and other forms of diversity, it says this:

> Unfortunately, when a single homogeneous group is designing and engineering the vast majority of technology, they will consciously and unconsciously pass on their own biases.

But there is not a single homogeneous group designing the vast majority of technology. First of all, in the US, the bulk of tech workers are white and Asian men, and includes a large amount of people not born in the US. That's not a homogeneous group. Not in race, skin color, native language, etc.

Second, the US is not the only place where technology is designed and engineered. A very large amount is created in Asia, in particular. One example the author focuses on is cars: Japan is obviously of major importance in that area. From cars to phones to game consoles, technology is a very global industry. No single homogeneous group controls it.

The author means well, but is mostly parroting common speaking points including their mistakes and biases. We can and should do better on this topic.

> But profit is not the primary driver of innovation. Passion, curiosity, and desire to make the world a better place -- these are the drivers of innovation.

So why is it that major advances in pharmaceutical research or technology come from places driven primarily by profit motive, i.e. US? Seems that there would be a more random distribution of such businesses around the world. Are people in areas that focus on quality of life (Denmark, Costa Rica, New Zealand) less inventive, passionate or curious?

It is somewhat ironic that this paper comes from a Dutch University, since Holland has historically made a great deal of money from acting as a middle-man, as indeed it continues to do.

Searching some referenced papers I found http://projectm-online.com/investing/the-value-of-trust/ which is IMHO a nice high level treatment of the space.

The paper questionably approaches the subject theoretically through a pre-digital era reference which divides trust through conventional relations of 1990s society, which is of dubious currency.

It also refers to prior work from the same university https://repository.tudelft.nl/islandora/object/uuid:c1816da8... which appears to be a BS thesis on settlement-system neutral market protocols, post-dating my own published work on the same - http://www.ifex-project.org/our-proposals/ifex/2012-04-11-pa... - by some five (4-5) years.

The treatment of trust in decentralized networks is high level only and in parts not of an academic quality of writing, for example making inferences that 15 years of prior formal work is valueless because it has not been publicly deployed.
Inasmuch as I want everyone to be guided by their moral convictions, yes. I mean, even if I don't agree with them, I'd much rather an engineer's decisions be guided by 'what they feel is right' rather than guided by nothing at all, which seems to be what parent was implying.

Also, this is why we have engineering codes of ethics, at least in Canada and the US (and while I'm not familiar with elsewhere in the world, I would assume similar things hold in most first-world countries). We don't necessarily have to agree on everything, but there is a baseline for what we consider ethical, and engineers are expected to uphold that baseline, otherwise they are not permitted to practice engineering. Unfortunately the line between 'engineers' and other practicioners isn't as well-defined for software engineering as it is for most engineering fields - but that doesn't mean we should ignore it completely.

Alrighty then. You pay $25 for freshly ground coffee roasted right near where you live. And you only drink a cup or two a day. Let's call that 1.5 cups a day. A pound will provide 48 6 oz cups which will last you 48/1.5 = 1 month.

So it doesn't matter that your coffee was roasted very near where you live since on average it's two weeks old.

Me, I live in Oakland and I like a local roaster McLaughlin in Emeryville. I can get beans or ground from Farmer Joes, also local. But I don't overvalue locality to the extreme. I buy McLaughlin because I like the taste and for what it's worth, I buy ground not bean.
Howard Leight MAX earplugs have the highest noise cancellation rating in dB that I've seen, and they were the best ones I've tried.

> Hedge funders, for example, do not create any clear value to society

Which is why their compensation is contractual. It obviously provides some value to the high net worth clients who agree to their fees.

It's not like hedge fund managers rely on MacArthur fellowships or some taxpayer assistance program for their compensation needs.

In some societies the employment in hedge fund industry is at, or near, zero. Hedge fund managers rise to the occasion, that occasion being demand for their services.
I like to stick with the first law of thermodynamics. It's worked very well my entire life.
I could see that that might have an impact as well. It will be interesting to see to what degree people move to metro areas because that's where the jobs are and to what degree they move there because it's a more interesting place to live. While I'd love to have a little more space and pay less for housing I'd get pretty depressed living outside a metro area. If that's what I wanted I could move back to the visit where my parents live, live in their second house or in-law unit and live off a few hours months of remote consulting work. Curious to see how that's the case for others.
In terms of comfort, if you lie on your side it sometimes works well enough to just wear one ear-plug, with your other ear on the pillow.

In truth, we already have UBI. It is social security. Think about it: a country full of fixed income retirees. Sounds great, doesn't it?

Currently that's not working out though. The retirement age is going up, not down. It's too expensive to give money directly and let people figure it out. The UBI end game is something like the terrafoam housing from Manna.

http://marshallbrain.com/manna4.htm

Put all the UBIs in a nice neat little box where we can forget about them, like we do with prisoners. Maybe even add sedatives and birth control to the water, because we certainly don't want resistance or more of them. We'll probably even call them that. UBIs. Universal basic inmates.
Something along these lines I recommend is a loud HEPA filter fan, so you get fresh air + white noise.
I have a similar view, but with a slightly different angle. This is largely conjecture, but it seems to me that in the modern age, as our vantage point has expanded due to cultural and technological development, the bonds between individuals have become diluted, and we haven't figured out how to fully respond to that.

I would also make a case for a bit of a global existential crisis, as humanity has begun to finally understand the true vastness of the universe, in which we are an infinitesimally small flicker.

This is a spectacularly bad advice, which "off-the-shelves" research libraries that you mention? OpenCV, LibSVM, Weka or Matlab/Octave?? Most examples/implementations in OpenCV are outpaced by Deep Learning methods.

TensorFlow, Caffe, PyTorch/Torch which today implement most of the state of the art methods were all written on average a year or two ago.

This is just truthiness (Math feels more "hardcore" than CS so Math department must be the better source.). Having known several people at Google/Apple/Facebook-FAIR, CS departments are typically major source of AI/ML researchers.
The main issue is that I cannot compile one of the libraries node needs without more than 512MB RAM, not your fault, and not really something I can submit a ticket to your repo for. It's just a fault in the mechanics of NPM/whatever library was used.
>So either that is the amount of sleep that keeps people well, or that’s the amount that makes them least likely to lie about being sick when they want to skip work. Or maybe people who were already sick with some chronic condition were sleeping more than that—or less—as a result of their illness. Statistics are tough to interpret.

Love that, no lazy journalism, no ridiculous claims. Just the facts and some possible implications.
Hmm, can people reasonably do 1-3 in places where the sun sets at like 6PM?
Cost of production from variety to variety at this farm is going to be fairly consistent. The reason coffee has traditionally been relegated to developing countries is because of labor costs. To get a good harvest with quality in mind, farmers typically have to do several passes through the fields of coffee trees to select the coffee cherries at their optimal ripeness. Altitude also factors into quality as well, since coffee that slowly ripens due to cooler temps typically translates to a better product. Farms at high altitude can have some pretty gnarly topography.

Coffee farms where attention to quality is less important and raw output more important will plant trees in full sun, nice conventional rows, and then send mechanical harvesters down each row to strip pick the trees, harvesting cherries that might range from under ripe to perfectly ripe to over ripe. Yields might be higher and labor costs lower, but quality suffers and these beans are typically sold in the commodity market.
