I 90% agree, but if that were all there was to it, we should have been able to achieve the same level of success decades earlier, just by running our ML code longer. Given enough time, old slow AI software should have produced the same analytical results as deep learning does today.

But that's not the case. Deep nets can model vastly more information / state than any other AI/ML method. Once Hinton (and others) showed how to train NNs with more than three layers (ca. 2006) it was finally possible to learn and store all that state. Then with the rise of GPGPUs soon after, deep nets became efficient as well. Thereafter several tasks that had been infeasible even using curated information became amenable to mostly brute force learning strategies driven only by labeled examples -- just lots of 'em.

The question now is how far can we extend DL's tools and examples. Are they sufficient to build higher level cognitive AI agents. Must AGI employ many thousands of deep nets? Or can all those specific-skill nets be folded together somehow into one unified "deep mind"?

Like you, I'm doubtful that today's very specific successes in DL will lead to higher level cognition in the foreseeable future. That path isn't at all clear to me.

Here is the job board integration from Lever [1], taken directly from my Lever account.

Here is the job board integration from JobScore [2][3][4], taken directly from my JobScore account. I wouldn't say that JobScore is necessarily all that great either, but it does certain basic things that Lever has punted on.

And yes, that's right. It took me 3 screenshots to fit all of the JobScore integrations in.

Granted, Lever does have a lot more sourcing firm integrations, but that isn't my use case and it doesn't provide value to me.

Later in the same paragraph he addresses your exact problem, and points out that the speed of quitting a command that prints too much output is poorly correlated with the speed of spewing output.

Given how easy it is to accidentally spew something that I don't want to wait for, even if it is spewing quickly, I'm squarely with him in not caring about the speed of display. Slow it down to just faster than my eyes can make sense of it, and make ^C fast, and my life will be better.
Actually there are languages outside of Solidity, lll (lisp like) is the most intriguing to me, and Serpent(python like), there is one more (which I am failing to recall).

But Solidity is the flagship language.
My digital life is undergoing some great transformation. I moved over pretty much all of my stuff to Cloudron and it's been working out very well so far.

The apps I use are

- I use Cloudron's built-in email with bluemail android app

- nextcloud for photos, files, contacts. on Android, davdroid works great. For passwords, I use Keepassx with sync to nextcloud. on android, there is keepass2android.

- meemo for my notes and bookmarking

- gogs for my git hosting.

- tinytinyrss for my rss feed. i really wish someone makes that ui a little more pretty but the android app works quiet well

- I have our family's baby blog, personal blog/website and my niece's blog on wordpress. There's a piwik setup for analytics as well (via wp piwik plugin).

What I do not self-host: Wire messenger (maybe Riot/Matrix app will become good enough some day but I need video calls). I used to use Skype but it has become very unreliable off late.
26% protein, mostly of wheat, which doesn't have a balanced amount of essential amino acids. Also 51% carbs and 10% fat. I wouldn't want that, way too many carbs. Fat is the best energy source for the human body, for so many reasons I wouldn't stop talking about them.

But anyway, split roasted chicken[0] has the same proportion of protein (26%, but the serving is bigger at 65g). It comes with 4 individual bags of 250g of chicken for ~4.65€ (1.16€ each) and one can just heat a bag in the microwave. And it's very well seasoned and delicious.

Flaw in Security Camera Leaves Millions of Devices Open to Hackers
I was thinking about this today after hearing a report on the radio this morning on this topic. Hospitals end up throwing away large amounts of drugs each year due to expiration, potentially hundreds of millions of dollars - although there is no real data currently.

It seems like it would be a good long term investment for a group of hospitals to partner together and begin a systematic study of the actual lifetimes of drugs. Instead of destroying all expired drugs they could send off samples to a lab for testing. They could even intentionally keep expired drugs in an off-limits area for 1, 2, 3 years past their expiration dates to gather more information. With enough hospitals participating they could gather a significant amount of data without any one hospital shouldering all of the burden. Once there is enough evidence that a particular drug is still potent the FDA could extend the allowed shelf life. This would save the hospitals money over time since they could stop paying to dispose of and replace as many expired drugs. It would also provide a general benefit to the public since people would have solid scientific evidence for the actual effective lifetime for particular drugs. This would include poison control centers, the hospitals themselves, etc. that would be able to better handle cases where someone has already taken an expired drug.

Of course an alternate way would be to require the drug companies to accept returns from hospitals of small amounts of expired drugs that they would then be responsible for testing and providing the data to the FDA. Limiting the returns to large institutions would keep the costs down (reducing push-back from the pharma companies).
This feels like it's getting us one step closer to the vision of the early stage control by AI that is described in Manna: http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm

Obviously the AI part isn't there but we now have a fabulous interface to have complex tasked aided/guided by AI. This in combination with what's already going on in Amazon warehouses and we are pretty close to the description of how fast food restaurants are run in the story.
In theory, it is the opposite. Because you keep all that in your head, you have this large cognitive overload.

Better to dump it out and just your brain for what you are working on at the moment.
I ran a BBS on an 8-bit microcomputer in the 1980's. I wrote everything myself, including low-level modem drivers in assembly code.

I had some code which handled a temporary loss of carrier. It would poll for the carrier to come back for a few moments, otherwise indicate to layers higher up that carrier is lost, so the user can be logged out.

Problem is, in that piece of code, I forgot to pop something off the stack that I pushed onto the stack. I had a user who was a bit of a cracker. I got a note from the guy, "I got into your operating system by dialing touch tones while connected".

Dialing a touch tone interrupted the carrier sense in the modem, triggering that code with the bad stack handling that would crash the BBS program, leaving the I/O hooks still connected to the modem driver, giving the caller full access to the system.

This didn't reproduce during the usual case when the carrier was lost permanently, only when it recovered.
I do exactly this, with Workflowy. Works wonder.
We use Google Keep at home to share shopping lists. I also use it for quick notes on any of my devices.

For reminders, meetings, events, etc I use Google Calendar.
I don't think there's an economic pressure to have a longer shelf life either.

It's not any more efficient to stockpile drugs, and it doesn't make sense to do so, as your need for prescription drugs is likely not going to be multiple years.
That would require a whole other set of security requirements than this has.
The whole point of galileo is to have a system which is not dependent on the US and their GPS switch.

Jamming is a local action, the US will be able to jzm Gallileo like we are able to jam GPS - again locally.

Frequencies can be switched, if we only relied on the fact that they are the same then the US could switch theirs (and have equipment which is compatible if course) and there goes our security.

I work in security and have worked for 12 years for a huge provider of telecom systems and hinestly do not see any real advantages to match the frequencies.

Also, if we had the same frequency, WE could not jam GPS if we wanted to.
I might have written something misleading unintentionally, since I haven't been a Unicomp customer in a long time. I really felt that the half dozen or so Unicomp keyboards I bought in the late nineties were the same. I don't own any of those keyboards anymore, but I am pretty sure they even had the IBM logo. It might be that they weren't really representative of Unicomp and were leftover IBM inventory. The black USB keyboard I bought from Unicomp nine years ago was certainly a disappointment, although I think the switch feel was essentially correct.

I respect that these new guys are doing a Model F clone instead of a Model M clone, it definitely reflects good taste, but I don't really agree that the Cherry MX Blue switch is a "shadow of their predecessor," as the article states. The only thing lacking I've seen in some newer mechanical keyboards based on Cherry switches is, oddly, that they sometimes find new and exciting ways to mess up the engineering of the space bar. That seems like it should be a relatively straightforward thing.

I did something like that in some code in a from-scratch embedded Linux distro, maybe nine years ago:

Oops, the script didn't have "set -u", and I happened to run that as root. So, /lib directory gone.

I managed to recover that machine by copying libs from another one running the same distro.
Ninth Circuit Rules on National Security Letter Gag Orders
>It's all a guess until the end, and even then we're often not sure. Look at anti-depressants. We still don't know how a lot of those work but prescribe them to millions of people regardless. How do you think they determined the dose when they don't know how the drug works?

We know how antidepressants work, the chemical reaction is well known and can be quantified at different doses. We just don't know why they work because we don't understand why/how the brain works.

Pedantic but important difference.

The iOS Reminders app easily sees the most day-to-day use for me in the daily management/productivity realm. Many times a week I'll just say "Hey Siri, set a reminder for 7pm tomorrow to do X" and then I can just forget about it. My memory's not the greatest, so I find that offloading even the smallest tasks to the Reminders app has helped me immensely. :)

For longer-term events, I used to be a heavy Google Calendar user while in college, but now I typically just throw events onto the Reminders app as well! I like to set them for a certain amount of time before the event in case I need to remind myself to accomplish a few sub-tasks in the days/hours beforehand. For example, if I'm flying out to a different city a month from now, I'd schedule a reminder about that flight for a few days before the day of the flight, and when it goes off I know to create some reminders like "do laundry" for the next day and "check in for flight" for the night before.

Of course, sticking with a calendar is probably the better approach for this entire thing. :P I still pop things on my calendar, but I just like the sense of checking items off once they're done.
It seems like this would be true if everything were working perfectly and there was a gradient of purchasing options across price/expiration. As it is consumers really don't have any choice wrt expiration date since as far as I'm aware the option to pay more for longer lasting drugs doesn't really exist.
I agree you probably won't see much benefit if most of your transactions involve cash-in-a-bank-account or coins on non-Ethereum chains.

However, if:

- Ethereum continues to grow; and

- we continue to see more and more successful/useful coins/tokens built on top of Ethereum (especially if asset-backed ones are accepted as payment);

Then we're going to see a lot more coin-coin transactions that /can/ be done on-chain - at which point a smart contract exchange is attractive (no counterparty risk, no fees, no waiting weeks for document verification, no limits).

Right now today it's possible for me and you to trade millions of dollars worth of tokens such as WINGS, BAT, USD.DC, GNO with each other on https://etherdelta.github.io or https://oasisdex.com/ (and soon https://ubitok.io/) - without needing to get verified or sign up, and only needing to trust that the exchange smart contract behaves as claimed (well, and that we're interacting with the right contract!).

If you don't see smart contracts / decentralised apps working well here, are there any problems where you do see them as being a good solution? A distributed exchange always seemed to me like a bit of a poster child for smart contracts ...
So I've tried probably every note taking and todo list tracking application out there. They all suck. This is what I do which is _okay_. I'm tempting to write a custom solution, however...

- Use Evernote with 3 Notebooks (Inbox, Filed and Shared). Anything I think of that I want to remember later, regardless of what it is, I toss into Evernote Inbox. I later add tags to it and move it to Filed. This allows me to do a quick tag search (either by clicking on tags or typing them out) to find stuff very quickly. This works but Evernote is really meh it just is the only thing that fits how I use notes.

- Tasking I use Todoist but, honestly, I rarely end up using it. It's a chore with every Todo app. None of them sync with my calendar and, at the same time, is available to me on all devices while also allowing quick entry and quick re-organizing.

- I use Fitbit to track my movements. Works decently well unless I forget to wear it.

- Dropbox handles anything I want to sync to any computer (usually not very large amounts of data) and I keep common files and documents stored there.

That's it. My biggest problem is I've found that organization later or temporary organization is far better than any organization up front because nothing is perfect the first go around but there is almost NOTHING that lets you do this and, at the same time, offer good things like calendar integration and multiple platform support.

Wow, I didn't realize my post would end up being more of a rant than anything else. Hope it's helpful to someone else though.
A database with dead kids that have to be tested for in every damn query is a pretty nasty database.

Maybe there should be a separate database of historic students who used to go to that school, and currently enrolled.

It's not just "isDeceased", but "goesToThisSchool". Nobody want to get some notification from a school about something, when their kid doesn't go there any more for any reason.

My brother-in-law works in pharma manufacturing, this stuff is really hard and it's basically impossible to create exactly identical pills, apparently in large part because the active ingredient is frequently <1% of the volume of the pill. The best they can do is control the range of dosage in pills, and there's variance in what that range is across drugs (i.e. some compounds can't be spray dried, can't be heated hot enough to make binders liquid, etc).

Depending on necessity and value they can typically engineer more precision, but it gets very expensive very fast.
Ah cool, thanks for the tip!
>Please, by all means, construct a more accurate model.

Gee, you get to just hand-wave an entire manufacturing process and supply chain into insignificance, but I need a model, huh?

Fine. Let's use a generic drug (ie, not paying patent/development costs) as a proxy for how much the entire supply side costs. How about loratidine. You can get that at Walmart (stocked on the shelf, since that's mostly what the article was discussing) for about 10 cents/pill.[1] Of course that's completely ignoring the disposal costs. I strongly doubt that disposing of hospital/pharmacy quantities of drugs is as easy as chucking them in the municipal landfill. Let's say it costs 10% of the purchase price. So 11 cents/pill just to run a pill through the supply chain and then dispose of it.

Intensifying the napkin math...
CDC says there were ~3.4 billion visits that resulted in drugs "provided or ordered". [2]
Let's say that those were an average of 7 days worth of drugs ordered, so ~30 billion doses.
Let's say that 10% of that much is either wasted by the consumer, or wasted while sitting on a shelf before anybody bought it - 3 billion pills.

3 billion pills/year * 0.11 cents/pill = $330 million/year. I dunno, seems potentially significant, at least to an order of magnitude level. Especially since the costs of the FDA program to extend the shelf life was around 1% of that much.

Given null is generally non-idiomatic in JS (it's there, but most best practices say to avoid it) I think that's likely by design.

Intellectual Hipsters and Meta-Contrarianism (2010)
Interesting. I probably have a skewed view because I currently have very good employer-provided health care (US). I don't think I've ever spent less than 15 minutes with my doctor for an appointment. She also takes calls and texts and I have made same-day appointments (within hours) in the past.

However it is perhaps worth noting that the practice charges a $250/year "concierge fee" and from what I've read that's a very low fee comparable to other offices that use that model. Perhaps I would be less likely to go there if I had a high premium to pay in addition.

But even with previous employers and plans across the US, I can't recall a doctor who has ever rushed me out of appointments.

You're describing exactly what makes them feel slow. All of that buffering is adding latency. Everything is buffering: the screen, the GPU, the OS, the window manager, the shell.

People notice the extra latency though. I sure do. I remember what it's like to have a CRT getting photons displayed nearly immediately after a keystroke. That's exactly what makes an old 286 feel snappier than a 2017 macbook pro while typing.
