>No, there was a couple of years where they had DRMed music and it was a de facto moat, even if it wasn't a strategic moat.

How was it a moat? First, it only is a moat if people can't move platform. But:

1) iTunes was available for both Mac and Windows. So they could move OS.

2) Few people had any significant iTunes paid-for library, to make it any kind of significant barrier to live the iTunes music ecosystem. The huge majority of the songs on those iPods were ripped and pirated.

3) If anything, people kept coming INTO Macs FROM Windows (to the tune of Mac laptop share going from 2-3% to 10%), the other way around. Why would the existing Mac users even consider jumping ship (even if there was no moat as I say), if the general trend was the opposite?
Fair enough - though this was what your analogy was about? Not the rational explanation provided?
Interesting. This feels like a great way to prototype functional requirements. Express the full process as an interactive fiction novel, and let people play it. Get feedback, iterate on the novel, until they are satisfied, then implement.

That's just silly. If you really wanted to get away from all human dependence, the path to that is clear, go live out in the woods off the grid. Build your own shelter. 100% of your time will go towards the things you want to do.

You don't even have to go that far, you can pick and choose your amount of engagement. I met a guy at the bar who was visiting from, was it South Dakota? Way out there. Had like 8 different little business-y things he did to make a living. Only reason he came down here was to visit his mom.

Whatever it is you want, holding down a stable, reliable job is a great way to move closer to it.

People with irrational mindsets will never agree to a rational course of action. It's all gotta happen right now.
Yeah. Important differences: Quilt offers unlimited public storage, users do not need to log in to use public data, offers on-premise solution, handles serialization, works offline with local builds, etc. You'll see more differentiation as we roll out new product features.

A bigger block requires at least as many resources as a smaller one to receive, validate and store the data.

I am not saying we should never increase the block size, but I am saying we should try all alternatives that make the network more efficient (more tx throughput for same total resource cost) without making it harder for users to validate the blockchain.
I'm not familiar with Mallorca's hydrogeology, but I've done some cenote (cavern) diving in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. The caves are inland, but sea water infiltrates through the porous and channel-filled rock. The water nearer the surface is rainwater.

The narrow region where freshwater and seawater intermingle is called the halocline, it creates a cool optical distortion which reminds me of the "oil paint" filter in photoshop.
I don't want to question your knowledge :)

I'm just trying to understand what is needed to get ahead of the game :)
> The cheapest public offer from AWS is 0.05$/GB for OUTBOUND traffic (for at least 350TB/month)

Actually it's $0.02/GB if your traffic is in the US and you do 5PB/month: https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/

But yes, they likely have a non-public deal.
Water can stratify if the layers have different temperature, salinity, or change in density from other causes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halocline

If there is no convection or wave-action to mix the saltwater with the fresh, they can coexist in the same vessel, with very slow diffusion of salt into the fresh layer. If the fresh layer is refreshed by rainfall or fresh outflows of groundwater, the top may always be drinkable, even as the bottom is not.
While I agree with most of your comment, I think The Art of Memory Forensics is an absolute must read for the people that want to do digital forensics. Or attackers worrying about the footprint they leave behind...

The Art of Software Security Assessment is a great book, but it's on a totally different topic and there's zero comparison between these two.
So are you saying that bash is not actually executed but the characters are being printed on the screen and they looks as if the animation were still playing?

What I cannot understand from that explanation is how the animation time works. It should display the animation in chunks, with really fast frames, followed by pauses while it waits for data to be received.
I might be speaking out of line, but taking on these kinds of risks with young children at home seems kind of selfish. The fact that he went back into the same cave that nearly killed him only a month later...almost as if to say:

"I would rather my kids grow up without a Dad than live without my adrenaline fix"

I am neither a father or a cave diver though, so I might be missing a piece of the puzzle. Would either groups of people care to comment?
That's irrelevant, since the COMMERCIAL platforms that followed Napster did, and the record companies insisted that iTunes store has too.

Apple wanted to make a legal music store -- and for that needed license to sell music from the record companies.

Napster was a music sharing/download site so didn't need to have anything.

Deeply saddened to hear this news. I have immense respect for people like Maryam and Vera Rubin. They could have used their incredible genius to earn riches. Instead they devoted their lives to further math and science. When it was declared that Maryam won the Fields Medal I read the summary. I could barely understand even one word of the summary leave alone the actual work. People like Maryam amaze me. I am just a ordinary mortal working in a tech company. If God had asked me I would have told him to take my life and let Maryam live so we could have progress in math. Life is so unfair. I can't image how much math's progress has suffered with her passing. Deepest condolences to her family. RIP.
There are two ways to read a comment that says "I don't find this [useful|inspiring|interesting]." The first is to take it as a criticism, and the second is to take it as a statement of fact that is strictly limited to the person saying it. Where it's ambiguous it's far better to assume the second meaning, if only due to the Principle of Charity.

> In short, deep learning models do not have any understanding of their input, at least not in any human sense. Our own understanding of images, sounds, and language, is grounded in our sensorimotor experience as humans—as embodied earthly creatures.

Well maybe we should train systems with all our sensory inputs first, like newborns leans about the world. Then make these models available open source like we release operating systems so others can build on top of that.

For example we have ImageNet, but we don't have WalkNet, TasteNet, TouchNet, SmellNet, HearNet... or other extremely detailed sensory data recorded for an extended time. And these should be connected to match the experiences. At least I have no idea they are out there :)

I don't get it. If reasoning is not an option how does deep learning beat the boardgame go?
An ANN still resembles major features of an bio-NN.

1. A network

2. Flow of information is mainly unidirectional through a node

3. Multiple inputs, but one output, which is connected to the inputs of other neurons.

4. The connection strength between 2 neurons can be changed.

5. Non-linear behavior.

After all, I think, this is not such a bad first approximation. Hence the picture in the middle.

But I cannot believe that we learn by comparing thousands or millions of input and output patterns and back propagate the error through the network to perform a gradient descent at the neurons. That is simply not, what our brain does.
For everyone wanting to do something similar, please consider not using a raspberry pi for something a simple as controlling a light/garage door and take a look at ESP8266 or ESP32 boards (which have wifi onboard), there's tons of tutorials online, and the price tag can be as low as $3.
Okay, fine.

But that wasn't the case for the author. He was happy to have gotten fired. He thanked his manager for letting him go. Having another job, ever, was completely off the table, not an option.

This is not a rational mindset. Yours might be, you don't seem to want to share your thought process and I'm sure you have your reasons for that.

But his clearly isn't.
You're right. I hope they've done this and that it is kept on site somewhere.
There is actually work being done on this problem, at least to some extent. A DNC, for instance, can accept variable-structure inputs by storing each piece in its external memory bank. This is illustrated in the original Nature paper by feeding in an arbitrary graph definition piece by piece, then feeding in a query about the graph.

This doesn't necessarily address all the nuances of your post, but I do believe it's a step in the right direction. It pushes networks from

"learn how to solve this completely statically defined problem via sophisticated pattern matching"

to

"learn how to interpret a query, drawn from some restricted class of possible queries; accept variable-structure input to the query; strategize about techniques for answering the query; and finally compute the answer, possibly over multiple time-steps"
A little known unknown secret in the industry is that there are much simpler watermarking systems than what people think.

Yes each copy is tagged with multiple watermarks visible and cryptomarks in both the visual and audio channels.

However the most common mark is the "cut" mark, the studio will have multiple copies with slightly different cuts of a couple of scenes including sometimes very slight post production changes (e.g. items that appear or do not appear in a given scene).
These marks are as simple as adding or removing a few frames from several scenes that do not change the context of the scene or the movie.
With 10-20 scenes that can easily be manipulated you can produce a large number of marked copies that cannot be wiped without knowing what scenes have been touched.
The studio usually produces a few versions which are scene marked and for the individual copy marking relies on several layers of cryptographic and traditional water markings.

This means that even if all of the technical watermarkings fail the studio still knowns roughly who leaked the video then pinpointing the source is much easier in most cases.

P.S.
Studios make multiple versions of movies with different cut tales also for other reasons such as to gauge audience responses to specific scenes or in cases where movies would have slight line differences for different regions.

From the description, it sounds like the routers have been reduced to more simple muxers, where a small tag added to the packet determines which port it goes over instead of trying to make a complicated decision all in one focal point.

This has pushed the decision back from the routers to the servers, where it scales with the number of hosts handling connections and can additionally be determined per /session/ instead of per packet. That state is held where sessions already need to be stored anyway instead of being duplicated in a router where it's entirely a burden.
The two books don't map to each other 1:1, but I'd consider a lot of the contents of TAOSSA to be very good foundational content for assessing malware. Much of malware is a practical implementation of faults explored within that book.

Er, when I say "memory limited" you say I'm wrong because it's latency limited not bandwidth limited. I think we are violently agreeing. Latency limited is just one specific form of memory limited.

In my testing (to my surprise) it turns out that throughput keeps increasing at up to 2 times the number of memory channels. So with 8 memory channels throughput keeps increasing at up to 16 threads, which upon reflection makes sense. Generally it takes 25-40ns to miss through L1, L2, and L3 -> memory controller. So with 16 misses and 8 channels you end up with all 8 channels busy, and 8 more misses queued and waiting in the memory controller. So your throughput approximately doubles from just 8 threads.

In any case, I agree that single thread performance isn't improved by multiple channels and that latency limited workloads get a small fraction of the potential memory bandwidth.

We had it in Wheaton, Illinois, in public school. Sort of just depends on the school district.
The reasons aren't that difficult. They are usually autonomy, creativity and dictating your own pace. I didn't mention less/more stress or less/more money but they are somewhere there too.

These can be huge reasons for folks wanting to pursue their own path. Depends on the personality.
Sounds like we should design our package managers so that they don't run hostile code in a sandbox.
I guess it depends on the viewpoint. Yours sounds valid. Mine comes from the occasional fixing people's messes. But I agree with you, some product is better than no product in most cases.
True but we use debit/credit cards. They can be incredibly fast if the POS is connected via broadband (instead of land lines, which are increasingly rare). Personally, I would like to see Klarna roll out in-store "invoices" for small purchases so you can always shop as long as you have your mobile (even if you don't have money on your account).

Wow... they must really have to time these service trips with the weather... You'd be so exposed...

Also surprising is the apparent lack of safety... the carabiners / clips just loosely hang around the occasional rung and are often completely unattached... I wouldn't trust that if he fell the clip would hold him.
Yay, I found the rabbit hole - technically, no cellestial body rotates purely around the other (thanks mass!). So, perhaps adding epicycles wasn't erronious after all - just a measurement from a different reference point.
Aye, good to know!
Some people just do what they need to, I'm saying this from Jeb Corlis, famous wingsuit diver, who said he just cannot avoid jumping even though it's more than risky, deadly AND that he crashed once (one of the luckiest comeback I ever got to see). His family isn't happy, but he cannot live otherwise so it's either depression or adrenaline.
Just because he does not articulate that "I have health problems, thus a normal job does not work for me" does not mean that isn't baked into his choices. He was apparently relieved when he was fired because the job wasn't really working for him.

The lack of that observation may mean he isn't the most stellar author ever. Or it may mean he is not some font of wisdom and his explanations are sort of half-baked. But none of that is evidence that his choices were irrational.

It doesn't have to be the same choice you would make for it to be rational.

And I don't owe you justification for my life choices. It is obnoxious to imply that I do.

I haven't dismissed nor attacked your life choices. I have merely pointed out the obvious-on-the-face-of-it fact that your life is different from his and this creates different decision trees and different outcomes. That's it.
I race motorcycles and also ride on the street most days, so this is a familiar topic of discussion with my wife, especially considering that we have a two-year-old son. What I can say on the subject is that there's a big difference between taking every precaution to minimize risk and being careless or reckless. What stood out to me when reading this article was "why the fuck would you use a guideline that could break so easily?" and also "why wouldn't you give yourself more margin with regards to your air supply?" That's just stupid, in my opinion.
I don't really understand the distinction: fewer children per family is the same thing as fewer per person right? Like if you have 1.4 children per person on average that means exactly 2.8 children per adult man + woman?

All I meant to point out is that "birth rate falling" doesn't map to "population falling", if the average number of children per couple drops 2.5 to 2.1 then each generation is still larger (and the population still grows exponentially).
Because what can be so hard about "disrupting" a 100 year old brand that is probably the only mayonnaise brand that most Americans could name?

Added: Yes mayo is a big market but the odds of some eggless mayo specialty product capturing a huge chunk of it is... slim.

I wrote a longer answer, but I'll shorten it to: it's not about the adrenaline fix. At some point, your hobbies/passions (hopefully) become an integral part of who you are. Especially ones like this with expertise and life-long pursuits. The rest is balancing act that you hope to get right.
I follow your argument, I just don't think it matches reality.

In any system analysis, you have to consider all the relevant factors. If you wave away important factors for the sake of argument, you get the wrong answers, and end up in long arguments on internet forums, repeating yourself a lot.

Let's game out some scenarios using your numbers. The choices are between a $1 array that gives 100 watt-hours, ($0.01/Wh) or a $50 array that gives 1000 watt-hours. ($0.05/Wh)

Rooftop solar, grid power is $0.001/Wh: You don't buy either array, since neither is cheaper than grid. This is true for most of the industrialized world.

Rooftop solar, grid power is $0.025/Wh: You buy the 100 watt-hour array, since the power it produces is cheaper than grid power. You don't care about total wattage, since you can get all the watts you want from the grid. This is true of places where either electricity is expensive, or PV is subsidized. (Hawaii, Germany, etc)

Rooftop solar, grid power is $0.1/Wh: You do buy the 1000 watt-hour array, since it saves you from having to buy expensive grid watt-hours. There is no place on Earth where grid power is more expensive than both single-crystal and multijunction PV.

Rooftop solar, offgrid: Here you do strongly care about array output... but you're only offgrid in very rural locations, where land is cheap. In practice, off grid solar is never limited to just rooftops! If you need more watt-hours, you build bigger arrays, rather than paying five times as much per panel.

Space: You need every milliwatthour, and each gram of spacecraft costs hundreds of dollars anyway, so multijunction PV suddenly becomes price competitive.
Wonderful idea. So wonderful, in fact, it makes one wonder what is taking IFTTT so long to offer up similar functionality.
