Basically, you can encode your (human) assumptions/intuitions about the data/task into the math. Neural networks are just big math equations with a bunch of tunable parameters, and there is a lot (a LOT) of freedom in what those math equations can be. So, CNNs assume spatial locality (stuff being near each other) matters, which turns out to be super true for images - an image is not at all the same if you just shuffle all of its pixels around. All it takes to do that is a simple tweak to the math (make a small set of weights that is the same for a bunch of patches of the input, instead of separate weight per input). This RN concept is also a simple math tweak, it's just a function designed to do a pairwise sum over pairs of 'objects', which they claim is a good way to enable the neural network to learn about relational concepts. RNNs are also a simple math tweak, just make the function recursive (sort of, it's trickier in implementation, but close enough).
Well, for starters, all customers that are not in us-east. Such as US west coast, Europe or Asia.

Besides latency, data protection issues also become a problem when you cross borders. My employer's (SAP) cloud platform advertises as a unique selling point that they have data centers in a wide variety of locations, so that a customer's data never has to leave their jurisdiction (which is important e.g. for government and its contractors).

And that's before we get to high-availability setups. Remember how AWS us-east was down just a few months ago?

Great question! You can't have two such files!

Say you create a file with a name that has different NFC and NFD forms, and you create it with the NFC form. Then you go try to create it with the NFD form, well, if doing an exclusive create (O_EXCL) then you'll get EEXIST, else you'll open the existing file.
I see it more like keeping track of things. Of, course we might get into the territory you are referring to once you see that you have all this data and you start manipulating your and other's behaviour based on this data.

However, the need for recording and documentation is as old as scribbles on a cave wall and some also really do need to document things to remember.

I must agree, though, with the wording. It is unfortunate but it probably does attract those who have an itch for efficiency.

> Because many untreated mental illnesses (such as schizophrenia) are degenerative, early treatment is especially helpful.

Mental illnesses are commonly considered "degenerative" because the professionals don't address the various causes. My observation is that the mental health industry favors palliative treatments instead of curative therapies. They do this because they think the causes are unknown, and that palliative drugs are the best they can do.

> Preventing a first episode of psychosis (loss of contact with reality) can have major lifetime benefits.

Sure, but avoiding treatment with "anti-psychotics" (tranquilizers) is a good strategy for all psychotic patients. If you put them in a safe environment, they usually come out of their psychotic state without medical assistance [1].

This is my story for the internship I am doing. Though I like the main aim of what I am doing, but I couldn't write a single line that involve any thought. And it's not I don't like programming. I contribute to open source at least once almost every week. It's just I don't feel like reporting to someone who knows less than me(no kidding), and I resort to trickery that I done something, which in reality I don't spend half an hour a day. And, I can not leave the internship because of the fear of what I will tell my friends and family.
Any article that ends with a yes/no question is always answered with "no". This one is no exception. Print classified info out at work on work printers from a monitored work computer you are logged into and said info ends up with reporters days later? Reporters you communicated with over gmail?!

Which, I mean, isn't a sin or anything, but when you know the organization you are directly burning is the NSA and the president of the United States, that's almost an insane level of ignorance.

There's no evidence that it was The Intercept's actions that caused her to be found. I agree that they should be more careful (they should _always_ be more careful), but there are many ways the source could have been found independent of the newspaper. Regardless, the government has many incentives to claim that it was The Intercept's deficient opsec that caused them to find the leaker.

There really isn't much you can reasonably conclude about this. Is the government lying? Is The Intercept incompetent? The only thing you should remember is that if you are going to leak documents you need to do as much as possible while they are still in your control to hide your involvement. Once you send them off, your fate is in the hands of others.

This just reaffirms my beleif that a large swath of CTO's aren't doing their jobs as they should be. Having seen the inside of many companies, the ones with the most issues were ones were the CTO would rather be a programmer than be the bridge between IT and the C's and the board. Now, this seems like a well written book with good points, but I don't see a single CTO level reference (other than the payment providers section) to the business and business politics side, which is what is underserved and underrepresented in the boardroom.

The claim here is that this person became an unintential "CTO", and frankly context clues indicate to me their role was anything but. The roles of CTO/CIO are the most misunderstood by the industry in my opinion, so I guess I can't blame the author too much, but it's a bad use of the title.
In a situation like this, you as the leaker have a lot more to lose than whoever you're leaking to.

In that situation, I'm sorry, but the responsibility for protecting your identity is on you. Anonymize the data. Do not leak something that only you would have access to. etc, etc.

Because unless you're leaking to Infowars, you have to expect that a legitimate journalist will present your data to the organization from which you leaked it to, and request comment.

"Shop Class as Soulcraft", by Matthew Crawford

It discusses the intrinsic characteristics of work that lead to satisfaction, growth, mastery, and ultimately happiness. The author is a PhD, worked at a think tank, and quit the white-collar life to go work on motorcycles. He discusses how white-collar work has been hollowed out, transforming "professionals" into "clerks", why so many of us "knowledge workers" feel unsatisfied with our work. The book has helped me figure out how to change my work to be more intrinsically rewarding, and as an IT developer whose technology affects other people's work, it also helps me think more about how to make the end user's life better.

Another great book along these lines is Joanne Ciulla's (2000) "The Working Life", which is a bit more academic and has less motorcycles but is nevertheless very readable.

_If_ (that's a very, very big if as in "won't happen") everybody withdraws, they presumably do so with reason. The most likely reason I can think of is that they want to buy goods or services. If so, the economy will boom. On the other hand, stock prices will fall, giving "everybody" less worth to withdraw.

Net effect likely would be transfer of wealth from the older to the younger and from those with capital to those who have to work to make a living.

Thanks for the detailed response. You certainly have an optimistic way of looking at the situation.

My problem is that I'm 32- the way I see it is I have 3-4 more years of going balls to the wall before my wife starts popping out kids and I'd really hate to waste this time doing low level unchallenging work.

How does the information you're describing (IP addresses used, ties to Russia, malware shape) help the average American if disclosed publicly? Because the harm seems immediate: bad actors will change their tactics and burn their channels, making them harder to detect, trace, or understand.

Given that the average American barely understands what a computer virus is, is the level of technical detail you're calling for sensible for public dissemination?
I dunno how we can quantify "Americans being benefited" in light of what these leaks are revealing in the global context, but I sure don't like it, living as I do, under either a velvet glove, or an iron one, depending on which side of the wall I happen to decide to visit.

But, I do think that these leaks are good for everyone, not just Americans, and that is why they need to happen.

> I do wonder, where is Fortran used these days?

Not that I actually know, but what I hear is that it's still used for number crunching, and it's actually faster than C in some respects unless you make heavy use of C99 features. That is, very generally it doesn't support a few features of C that makes it easier to optimize some constructs, nut that C now has keywords which can signal the compiler appropriately so the same optimizations can now happen in C.[1]

I just looked that up from memory of prior discussions here though, so if someone with real experience chimes in, take them over me.

>"There is tons and tons of room to build up in LA - 2/3/4/5/6 stories in more places would add a lot of housing"

Please provide a citation for where that "tons of room" is? Most apartment buildings in Los Angeles are at least two stories[1]. The majority of housing structures are 20+ units[1].

Los Angeles actually ranks among the best in terms of density despite it's sprawling nature[2]. That sprawl it turns out is actually somewhat efficiently.

I have provided citations for all of my assertions including the one above that shows that the LA city council has been routinely rubber stamping high density projects[3].

Nowhere did I say mountains or earthquakes were an issue. I even pointed out that apartment complexes were common place even in the hills.

Where are the data points and citations corroborating your statements? I don't see any. I guess they are just opinions then?

"Is anyone else getting a dystopian vibe from the idea of "managing" friends and family?"

First thing I thought. Although, it is accurate in a sense given that there's a lot to track, filter, setup and so on. It's why the same activities are called "management" in CRM. It's just socially unacceptable to say the truth sometimes. In this case, the author should change the wording so it doesn't say CRM or "manage." Instead, some propaganda along lines of "family reminder app" so you "don't miss an opportunity" might sound nicer. Actually, the opening paragraph seems fine.
Nah. Only 6 people have printed the doc and of those only one could be found in phone call metadata making a call to a press related contact. I don't know what the leaker was thinking.

And in the end even this leak doesn't contain any evidence of anything that would even tie it to Russia, let alone GRU. On the internet no one knows you're a dog. So she will get 10 years in the slammer for nothing.

There was a period in time right between core memory and solid state where something was developed (I believe by IBM) which was core memory, but layered "thin film" on either a glass or maybe polyester film substrate.

It essentially gave all the advantages of core memory, but could be printed by machine to eliminate the need for hand assembly that standard core memory required. Fabrication was done using something akin to how PCBs are made, coupled with something akin to offset printing (or something like that).

Information about this memory is very sparse; I've encountered a few references about it here and there on the internet, but mainly I've read about it in old computer books contemporary with the time period (mid-to-late 1960s to early 1970s). I also believe you can find an article or two in old issues of Popular Science magazine for the same period (google books has them all online).

Ultimately, though, solid-state won out for many good reasons; it was a case of a technology which - had it came about 5 years or more before, would have taken over the market, but its window was too small for acceptance (and probably there were bugs to work out).

As an aside: If you like this kind of thing, it is very interesting to read about the history of these kinds of shifts in technology. To read about this history of the transition to tube technology (think about how you would represent and generate a carrier wave for radio communication before tubes existed - it was done), then to transistors, then to integrated circuits, then to surface mount from thru-hole.

Then also the transition from hand-wired "rat nest" construction to printed circuits.

But the real interesting parts on all of these transitions happens between the transitions (and the overlaps) - where there exist both side-by-side, plus interesting technologies developed in the transition, anticipating things, dead ends, and in some cases ideas which won't become common until much later when other technology could "catch up" (mainly for assembly or whatnot).

Early integrated circuits, for instance, were actually tiny soldered devices in a "can" or on a ceramic substrate - of very few parts. But they were anticipated by the small modules done prior by companies like IBM for assembly and maintenance of computers (and even before that, with multi-component tube assemblies of an "entire radio in a tube" type devices). There were also such things as surface mount technology being used when nothing else would do: For instance in the Apollo Guidance Computers, early surface-mount technology was used to make it more robust to vibration, and also lighter weight. Also some early integrated circuit tech was used in them as well. All of these things wouldn't become common at the business or consumer level until years later - but the tech was needed ahead of time of course for the purpose; also an example of the space program of NASA pushing the tech envelope that trickled down to consumers.

Check it out if you haven't already and have an interest; I've found it pretty fascinating, as you can probably tell...
That low tech limited screen time curriculum requires well trained (aka expensive) staff. Yes, it might have better outcomes, but it can't scale without an absurd investment that, so far, society
