It isn't, and exactly why the founder decided to make Soylent in the first place. She oversimplifies the story of how Soylent came about, but its alright as this clearly isn't meant to be a serious critique of the stuff. Half the article is poop gifs lol.

Not to mention the founder DID have some gastrointestinal distress when he started (not to mention one batch that lacked a certain vitamin which caused him to get into some serious health trouble briefly).

Yeah, that sort of thing is annoying, but it could be improved down to 4 if they actually cared much.

The point here is that going to geostationary is at least a quarter second round-trip, and blows the 25ms estimate out of the water. You can put servers in orbit if you really want to, but you can't have a satellite that's both fast to access and also in range for more than a few minutes at a time.

This is a serious, genuinely curious and open-ended comment - I'm not arguing for a position here or making a point and can accept any response.

Do people here think the world would be a better place if installing something didn't require reading any documentation (not even 45 minutes of it) or necessarily spend any time making choices?

For example, if it were possible to requisition a new AWS instance and install a Ruby on Rails configuration with "sensible" defaults on it, in, say, < 30 seconds, and it being secure and properly configured so that a newbie without any experience can immediately deploy apps on it securely and without understanding the parts involved or making choices?

I can see arguments for both sides.

I think it was in Chapo Trap House a couple of weeks ago, that they were talking about UBI and the subject of soylent came up in passing (ah)

Essentially, the point is that all of these initiatives to become more productive are spearheaded by the tech world, not for the benefit of the people but rather to probe "what is the absolute, absolute minimum someone needs to continue working and not revolt" in an era on the cusps of bearing trillionaires

Obviously, things are more complicated than that but it was to first time I saw any connection from UBI, soylent, and other convenience/pseudo-social policies heavily backed by tech giants. Work from home, out of your bed, drinking the sludge, order everything with Echo, etc. In other words, it's part of the whole convenience vs control dichotomy

I think that remains to be seen, at least in the general case, since we haven't yet agreed on a measure of performance. The debate around adversarial examples can be interpreted as arguing over the proper measure of performance. Although so far the debate is doing so somewhat implicitly, since afaik nobody has formalized a measure of robustness to adversarial examples; it's progressed more by case studies (which is fine, since research into NN robustness is still quite early stage, and case studies can help illustrate issues). I think it can be fairly said that neural nets perform well on the ImageNet benchmark and similar measures of performance. But whether those are good measures of performance, or whether some kind of metric that weights robustness more heavily should be used (and what methods would perform well on that) is the subject of current research, like this research.
Well ... you'll be amazed at the R&D we did to make it work. It took us almost five years to get to where we are today.

We'll be releasing detailed documentation of the manufacturing process/In-Lab testing. Our team wanted to open-source the whole design, but we're not there yet. Maybe in a few month's time after the launch.

> Euler’s formula says (in one interpretation) that a half-turn rotation in the plane is the same as a reflection through a point, a statement which is obvious to children who think about it for a bit.

I guess by "reflection through a point" you mean "the composition of two reflections through orthogonal axes through the point", right? Otherwise this cannot possibly be true, since a rotation is orientation-preserving but a reflection is orientation-reversing.
Thanks Nenad! :) The links indeed look interesting, at least at a first glance, though it seems not quite clear to me which keywords are R2 vs. R3 (proposals?) vs. Red, especially in the link marked as [1]. Still, at least that's something, will certainly be very useful if I try to understand PARSE again at some point in future. And I'm very happy to hear you're planning some more comprehensive docs for Red!

I agree. But I suspect many people would disagree because that sort of thing would water down their local influence and mitigate whatever personal agendas they have.

You just can't emphasis local influence and then still expect to meet national or universal standards. And as long as we try to do both we'll always have that tug of war battle over what matters more.

This reads like the most sophistic argument to the point he was trying to make. The diver was a cave diver, not a regular scuba diver. It's very different and notoriously risky. He almost died in the same cave previously. His point was well taken.

It doesn't mean that being risk averse is the right way to live. It's a fair point and a good thing to consider when you are a parent. That's all.
Thanks for the kind words vogt, we really appreciate it.
Replace 'images' with 'sensor data' and adversarial examples can still be generated. They might not be as easy to feed into the vehicles hardware (e.g. requiring speakers to fool an acoustic sensor), but the same principles apply.

It's also not necessary for the recognition algorithms to be using gradient descent, so long as they are differentiable (or can be approximated by a model that is), you can use gradient descent to find adversarial examples.

Adversarial examples exist for any model with a high input dimension (in relation to the available training data), differentiability only helps with finding them.

Android Malware Clustering Through Malicious Payload Mining
It's a good article in a lot of ways, and provides some warnings that many neural net evangelists should take to heart, but I agree it has some problems.

It's a bit unclear whether Fchollet is asserting that (A) Deep Learning has fundamental theoretical limitations on what it can achieve, or rather (B) that we have yet to discover ways of extracting human-like performance from it.

Certainly I agree with (B) that the current generation of models are little more than 'pattern matching', and the SOTA CNNs are, at best, something like small pieces of visual cortex or insect brains. But rather than deriding this limitation I'm more impressed at the range of tasks "mere" pattern matching is able to do so well - that's my takeaway.

But I also disagree with the distinction he makes between "local" and "extreme" generalization, or at least would contend that it's not a hard, or particularly meaningful, epistemic distinction. It is totally unsurprising that high-level planning and abstract reasoning capabilities are lacking in neural nets because the tasks we set them are so narrowly focused in scope. A neural net doesn't have a childhood, a desire/need to sustain itself, it doesn't grapple with its identity and mortality, set life goals for itself, forge relationships with others, or ponder the cosmos. And these types of quintessentially human activities are what I believe our capacities for high-level planning, reasoning with formal logic etc. arose to service. For this reason it's not obvious to me that a deep-learning-like system (with sufficient conception of causality, scarcity of resources, sanctity of life and so forth) would ALWAYS have to expend 1000s of fruitless trials crashing the rocket into the moon. It's conceivable that a system could know to develop an internal model of celestial mechanics and use it as a kind of staging area to plan trajectories.

I think there's a danger of questionable philosophy of mind assertions creeping into the discussion here (I've already read several poor or irrelevant expositions of Searle's Chinese Room in the comments). The high-level planning, and "true understanding" stuff sounds very much like what was debated for the last 25 years in philosophy of mind circles, under the rubric of "systematicity" in connectionist computational theories of mind. While I don't want to attempt a single-sentence exposition of this complicated debate, I will say that the requirement for "real understanding" (read systematicity) in AI systems, beyond mechanistic manipulation of tokens, is one that has been often criticised as ill-posed and potentially lacking even in human thought; leading to many movements of the goalposts vis-à-vis what "real understanding" actually is.

It's not clear to me that "real understanding" is not, or at least cannot be legitimately conceptualized as, some kind of geometric transformation from inputs to outputs - not least because vector spaces and their morphisms are pretty general mathematical objects.

I have no idea where you got your understanding from. At my parents we mostly ate "potato, vegetables and meat", pasta or rice. In my student house we didn't cook potato so often (too much effort for a large group of people).

Maybe you are referring to meal kits, which contain a (dry) staple such as rice or tortilla wraps with spices. In that case you are still required to buy the meat and veggies seperately.

A thing I like to do with values is invert them. If you don't still get something good then you're really just saying something bland and generic that any old company probably aspires to.

Take Facebook's "Move fast and break things." The inverse would be something like "Take your time and do it right." Both of those values are great! They both have good and bad points and which one a company aspires to really tells you something about how they balance competing goals.

This method doesn't work 100% of the time, but it's pretty good.

Not if it's a drastic, sudden increase. A secondary side effect of that much fiber quickly is it temporarily causes you to not absorb various minerals as you normally would. And if minerals aren't absorbed, then out they go, rather quickly.

This might be easier to do with AWK because AWK was designed for this type of task. The time spent learning AWK and getting exactly what you want stands a good chance of being less than the time spent learning a library and beating it into submission. In part because AWK has decades of development and documentation.

Good luck.

OK, suppose you want to sell Litecoins for USD cash in a bank account.

Now, admittedly, it might be that today a one stop centralised exchange is the best choice for you.

But by introducing intermediate Ethereum based tokens, you've broken down the task into three parts, potentally allowing more competition for each part:

1. finding someone willing to exchange your Litecoins for an Ethereum tethered-LTC token

2. finding someone willing to exchange your Ethereum tethered-LTC token for an Ethereum tethered-USD token

3. finding someone willing to exchange Ethereum tethered-USD tokens for bank account USD.

Part 1 is purely crypto-currency-based (albeit on different chains), and so should have lower fees than anything involving fiat transactions. It's also free of exchange rate risk, so doesn't need a fully-fledged exchange - should be easy to automated and audit.

Part 2 is purely Ethereum-based, and this is where competition should drive fees down to near-zero. Because a smart-contract can run this, there's (potentially!) zero risk of the exchange being hacked / running off with your coins / taking weeks to verify you / being shut down by regulators.

Part 3 still involves the ugly movement from crypto to banking. But now it's just going from tethered-USD to USD - so for the processor there's no exchange rate risk, or need to deal with weird and wonderful cryptocurrency networks.

And perhaps one day you'll be able to live without Part 3 - you might start to find you can spend tethered-USD in more and more places without needing to go to a bank account ...

Disclaimer: I'm involved with the https://ubitok.io decentralised Ethereum exchange so I do have a bit of a vested interest in decentralised exchanges! Would love to hear some counter opinions though ...
You're using loaded language, I'm speaking the truth. They are illegal, economic migrants. It's that simple. Saying that you're giving people a better shot at life is a ridiculous, loaded statement. These people will not be working in high-tech Europe, they will be receiving help from the state for many generations to come all the while transforming the continent to the point of civil war. Where is the dignity in sitting on your ass all day, having abandoned your own country that you should have worked to improve?

We could spend all day linking each other studies, well if you actually had any to support your view point that this does any good at all for either party.
