I'd like to offer a somewhat contrasting viewpoint (although this might not sit well with people): deep nets aren't AGI, but they're pretty damn good. There's mounting evidence that they learn similar to how we do, at least in vision; https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.08606 and https://www.nature.com/articles/srep27755

There's quite a few others but these were the most readily available papers.

Are deep nets AGI? No, but they're a lot better than Mr.Chollet gives them credit for.
A malfunctioning sensor is very unlikely to prepare a specially crafted input that exploits a bug. An intelligent adversary is something completely different.

Your claim that MISRA and standards for safety critical software also provide security against targeted attacks does not really follow.

How do you do this? The thing that pops to mind is getting involved on github, but what if the company does not have any OSS?
Unlike the stock market, experienced VCs should be applying quantitative techniques to private data they've collected. That's one way to keep their edge. You don't seem to appreciate the distinction. Of course most public-market quants will see their edge fade if their competition has access to the same data. That doesn't refute the initial success of those techniques.
Eh, employers are the ones with much better information in this case. They are the ones who'll know if x% of prospective employees decline an offer or even interview due to the salary offered which will give them at least some idea of the market rate. I've been in the situation where we could not get any new employees due to the rate we offered, and when I suggested we increase the rate I was told flat out by a manager that "Software Engineers should be fine with this amount, we will not hire for over it"
The payday loan analogy is admittedly weak. I just meant to indicate that it's a crap deal. It is actually worse than payday loans. See, with payday loans, you just pay ridiculous interest. With WB/IMF loans, it's more like "we'll loan you money to keep the lights on, but you're going to have to stop taking your blood pressure meds, and one of our friends is going to stop by and eat some of your dinner every night".

can you describe a coherent architecture that will turn microservices uneeded?
Imho non-pure is probably ok. Haskell's purity is probably what destroyed any chance of it growing popular enough to have a healthy ecosystem of libraries and community.

Anyway, since this has no memory management, neither rust-like nor gc, this is not in the niche I care about now, so moving on...

But again, great work. "Strict Haskell" with good C++ interop and decent records is awesome.
In btc1 there is not any replay protection right now, as the timeline didn't allow for development of this. It is an important feature request though, maybe follow along here:

> If "we" want to stop trashing the world, first we need to show we are willing to pay for that.

This is the typical supply-side dodge. Consumers have little to no power here. I can't dictate to Amazon or major shipping companies (I do buy AMZN's frustration-free when I can).

What option is there? Do you propose I compete with the packaging with my own offering?
> Given a choice between trusting a person/corporation and trusting a mathematical equation, I would rather place my trust in the mathematics.

This comes across as incredibly naive. Just consider the whole Segwit2x controversy and think about exactly who controls the future of Bitcoin. You've just shifted your trust to a different group of people.

I see.. That's true. Though credit still goes to the algo for choosing that particular weird move out of the entire search space (it's just 'weird' and something you will think is a move made by a total newbie to the game). I remembered for that whole week during lunchtime I would watch the broadcast live on YouTube. How devastated I was to see Lee Sedol losing match after match. It was a moment I would never forget, in my mind the computer had crossed an imaginary threshold and it won. I know ML/DL experts will say it is only for a very specific area. But what's stopping more mastery of enough 'specific' areas that the mastery will be broad enough to pass Turing tests?
I think that is key. It's similar to the .com boom (and bust) in the early 2000s. You had lots of examples where super-inflated company A bought company B, and paid for it with their super inflated stock. While the "values" reported won and lost where in the billions (trillions?), the fact is that relatively little of it was actually converted back and forth to real dollars.
1. Eat right.

2. Exercise, preferably strenuously and several times per week.

I am not going to back that up with sources. It is easily googled and routinely ignored by people wanting fancy, quick fixes with a lot of flash.

Re accidental death:

I paid accident claims for over five years. Very few of the claims I paid were genuinely "Wrong time, wrong place. Shit happens." Not counting people gaming the system, even most legitimate claims had an element of "Why the fuck were you doing that to begin with???" In some cases, this element was glaring enough to make the claim deniable under the list of provisos that boiled down to "If you are doing something egregiously stupid and dangerous, we won't cover your so-called accident when this results in injury or death."

Some basics you probably already know:

Do not drink or do recreational drugs.

If you do choose to drink or drug, arrange ahead of time to do so under safe circumstances.

Follow the safety instructions on medication or dangerous equipment. Don't make an exception "just this one time."

Do not consistently be a horrible, horrible asshole to people. (I paid a claim where that basically got someone shot.)

If you own guns, dangerous equipment, etc, strictly follow safety practices. No exceptions.

How to Fix ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED in Chrome
Some development is fine (and expected). And indeed the goal of "build automation" was what led us to evaluate both Concourse and GitLab. We were previously on Bamboo, which really did require wrangling with a moronic UI.

But I think there's a difference between a mostly complete CI product with API extension points, and a "batteries not included" CI toolbox.
I am going to have a short life then :) I better enjoy it!
Looks good. I have a list of human recommendations that are contrasted to the analysis. Right now, human recommendations are winning by a landslide, and I suspect your entry will only help that.

> The quality of the algo and I assume the deep learning model lies in the quality (breadth and depth) of the data, and how honest with himself the person choose to model it.

I've only dabbled with machine-learning here and there for the past 10 years or so, but if there's one thing I've learned so far is that the data behind your ML code (and the way it is structured) is responsible for almost all the success or failure of any given ML algorithm. I have an younger colleague at work who I've started tutoring, and he seems really interested in doing ML work (maybe because of all of the recent hype).

I've tried to emphasize to him several times that ML algorithms come and go and that he should focus a lot of his time on the data itself (from where he intends to collect it? how is it structured? is it reliable? is it "enough"? etc), but it looks that my data-related advice falls on deaf ears every time, he's only interested in me pointing to him the latest cool ML algorithm. I guess he'll live and learn, so to speak.

Many apps in this shop have some sort of error handling that puts apps to a weird state. Restart works while developers debug what's going on for months.

I tend to propagate errors and let supervisor handle failing apps. But it's the way it is now.

At least last I looked, Bamboo requires manual configuration of all builds. This doesn't scale to more than a handful of build plans. It also doesn't have much in the way of modern CI pipeline functionality.

Blocks aren't valid with double spends in them. You are saying the miner makes an invalid block by the rules in order to have a double spend transaction and then mislead the spv client with that information? I'm not making the argument that relay nodes are useless just that their security is being over stated, it catches this particular issue.
That could cost them more than $50K in bandwidth.

"We" refers to society that you wish to convince to adopt Bitcoin as a currency. As has already been mentioned, the mere fact that people are willing to spend electricity on mining does not inherently demonstrate that it is a good use of such electricity.

Again, I find this defense to be incredibly tautological:

"This approach to securing a distributed ledger sure seems to waste a lot of electricity."

"But it's not wasteful because it secures the ledger..."
I agree with your position. But I want to add a warning against the humanization of the brain. Many parts of it are complex in unknown ways, but some parts are truly mechanical.

The parts of your central nervous system that respond to reflexes, that locate the source of sound or parse the color of retinal input are far more similar to deep learning algorithms than they are to what we think of as human consciousness.

> Everytime you say "free markets beget cronyism" you're implying a less free-market would beget less cronyism

No, I'm not. I'm claiming that free markets sans cronyism aren't a steady state (or even exist), so distinguishing between "free market capitalism" and "crony capitalism" is anti-empirical.

> the only way to regulate interpersonal cooperation is through growing government

Ideology, marketing, religion, and non-state violence, for example, are all also powerful mechanisms.

Also, limiting government might actually INCREASE the power of government... and what's worse, someone else's government! This is particularly relevant in the case of the World Bank.

> Then why is it vacuous to argue for limiting said power?

See above. The choice might be between US gov't/corporate power and local governance. Limiting the power of local governments in the face of extremely powerful foreign governments and corporations doesn't actually reduce the power of government writ large.

> Saying free-markets become less free overtime and eventually foster cronyism

No, and if you re-read the thread, you'll notice that I'm not even making an argument against free markets. I'm making an argument against your distinction between "free market capitalism" and "crony capitalism". Again, the central claim from my original reply was:

>>>>> The World Bank may not embody "your" capitalism. But by any reasonable definition that avoids this sort of No-True-Scotsman distinction, the World Bank is aggressively capitalist.

I think you're now violently agreeing -- or at least you've stopped making any sort of coherent argument that crony capitalism is "not capitalism" in anything but a sort of vacuous sense.

As for the rest of your post, I don't get it. You're still just playing with definitions! Free markets aren't a cure-all for corruption, and your approach to corruption seems to be using definitions to bury your head in the sand. Seems dangerous.

If you're opposed to the World Bank, then you're opposed to an artifact of free market capitalism. It's that simple.
Did a sensory deprivation tank for the first time a few weeks ago. An hour was tough. Hard to imagine 60, with the added doubt of "you may never get out of here."
I discovered the same concept when being self-driven for an extended period. I would sum it up as saying freelance allowed me to be "my most authentic self" and it was phenomenal.

There's something about employment - sometimes it's the employers, sometimes the culture, mostly ourselves - that leads to a certain form of inauthenticity. Maybe this is what's know as "professionalism"?

However, I did find after this realization that I was able to shape my next career choices around maintaining that authenticity with a high level of success (albeit, not perfectly).
Not permanently mounted flight hardware, no TSO required. Only certification required for that would be basic FCC ISM transmission stuff, the same as your router. If they used a precertified module (like most internet of shit devices) you only need the harmful emission testing.

It's not like getting a job offer in tech is free to the employee and can just be used as a casual "fuck you" to the boss. Even with the current tech market the way that interviews are currently done will use up a lot of your PTO to get through. If an employee is at the point where they are effectively spending money to get this information why isn't it viewed as a the employer's fault for making the employee feel it was necessary? I know I don't want to switch jobs frequently but when the company posts record profits but my quality of life is decreasing due to cost of living increases, what would you expect me to do?
Hah they actually told me "we are not giving credit card increases at this time" for like 3 years. Then they finally sold the business. Then I think I got a bump to 1000? Which still means if I buy an electronic device, I hit 50% utilization pretty quick.
The how is the hard part, and is going to vary by industry/location/etc. I guess I would start by looking where your target company is active.

If there own site has user forums, be a contributing member. Old fashioned networking works well too. Look up who works there on LinkedIn or whatever, start making friends. Be a contributing member of their community.

Perhaps writing a few LinkedIn articles within their area of expertise? If you are aware of any technical/whatever problems they are facing, present a solution. Im just spitballing here.

Just a caveat. A lot of these scientific studies tend to be funded by industries with an agenda. So I'd take scientific sources with a grain of salt. Every other day there is a study saying coffee is good for your heart, tea is good for your liver, so on and so forth.

Though most scientific publications are "peer reviewed", most of them are not "peer replicated".

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13713953

As sad as it is, a significant portion of the published scientific material are false or can't be replicated.

I suppose peer reviewed scientific articles are better than old wives' tales but not by much.
