If Google/people at Google made an algorithm to intentionally delete criminal evidence, that would qualify. Having an algorithm that deletes lots of things, and happens to delete evidence does not.
Sergio and I started Stylepill a couple of days ago to learn how to design products quickly and learning from the process. We came across with carrd.co by @ajlkn on Twitter, and we found it fantastic and a new way to create and validate products quickly. So we sat down with Sergio one night, and we analyzed that we could build in less than one day, and launch the next day. This is how Stylepill was born.

Stylepill does not solve any problems, nor will it change the world at all. We've just designed a number of very cute web themes throughout our career and we would like to share them with you, but we wanted to do it in a different and creative way, and we decided to split each theme into small, 100% customizable and easy-use components, which we'll send randomly weekly to your email.

If you're a designer and would like to share your components with the world, you can ping us at rosita.and.sergio@gmail.com and we'll add your work to our repository and send it to all subscribers (of course, we'll respect your authorship and also we'll let people know who created those components).

We hope you like this small but beautiful project, any comment, suggestion, idea, feedback is 100% welcome, and we'll be responding to each of your comments with pleasure.

Happy weekend!
"There are decisions made by humans which no AI system today can make well, (...)"

Exactly, that is precisely the point. Companies and business will just rush to implement the next big neural network to boost their business, no matter how immature the technology is.

And the claim is not about AGI, it's more about the little things. For some reason people like to think really big and exaggerated scenarios when it comes to AI.

Let's take web apps as an example. We can all agree that the state of the art of the current web programming is very poor: JavaScript, NodeJS, Electron, CSS, etc. The technologies are bloated, they are slow, full of hacks and workarounds, and so on. And yet... people use them for everything, it's like the Atwood's law described: "any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript"

I imagine that a similar scenario will happen with AI and neural networks. Can you imagine, for example, start dealing with an AI instead of an human when it comes to customer service? Maybe it is already happening, if you look for stories about Google's customer service in the internet, you would think everything is run by some sort of AI there.

Another example, look at Microsoft is doing with Visual Studio's telemetry data: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/07/21/what-weve...

I wouldn't be surprised if they built a neural network to feed all that data to and to have it to produce a UX "optimized" for mass consumption.

We are getting into a time in which everything will be powered by "AI" and I think that's what OpenAI is trying to regulate before we get every single business pestered with an half-assed implementation of neural network and data analytics.
The 3 Principles You Need to Understand to Become an Effective Learner
> You have a much higher failure rate of the storage media as people say "I'm running out of hard drive space. What should I get rid of?"

Not really, because data is replicated between many people. People can delete it and other people would still have it.

> You need to recruit those people to give up a resource that (unlike the spare compute cycles that SETI uses) they are likely currently using.

It's no different than people seeding torrents or people just using ipfs. Simply accessing the system would transparently increase availability. In fact, ipfs is probably suited as-is.

> You have to convince people to trust you to put arbitrary video content on their hard drives. Therefore, you need to have some process for deciding what video content is objectionable enough that you won't store it.

No, data will become more accessible as people would consume it. People only need to understand how the system works, they don't need to trust "me" (whoever you refer as "you" in your post).

As I said, ipfs probably works as-is.

That's hardly a fitting analogy.

And yes, I for one do care about people including strangers, at least in the sense that I don't like hearing of bad things befalling others. Until they signal good reasons for ceasing to care about them like you are doing, in those cases I restrict my empathy to recognize their lack of empathy.
> "Small boats" manufactured in industrialized nations have flotation built into the hull. You can get them underwater by knocking out a hole, but they won't go to the bottom without significant damage.

Guess it depends upon you definition of "Small Boat". Certainly your standard mono hulled yacht will sink rapidly if you fill it with water (which is purposefully done on occasion, if sailing across an ocean and major damage forces you to abandon ship to another vessel the insurance company may ask you to sink the boat. It's not worth the costs required to salvage and is a danger shipping if left afloat).
Why Are Police Officers More Dangerous Than Airplanes?
It's kind of dreadful work. Believe it or not, endless attention to arcane detail is not enjoyable for everyone! Recently helping some designer colleagues learn how to code has been interesting and eye opening.
Often there is no difference between war crime evidence and war crime glorification that machine learning could discern. Exactly the same content could be interpreted as "look at us do great things in defense of our noble ideals!" and "look at these monsters do horrific things for no justifiable reason!".

The difference is in the audience's mindset - which is only partially influenced by the uploader's intentions, and partially by how other pages and channels link to the video and present it, and partially by historical context (the same content can acquire a different interpretation five years down the road). Machine learning cannot be expected to emulate that.
Not efficiently. And others volunteering their time to reverse engineer documentation on an ever moving target sounds like an exercise in folly.

Especially when the first party could hire technical writers for a fraction of the cost of developers and make this problem disappear.
Could have been anything, including "not murder". Maybe, for example, an accidental death that Masden felt might not look accidental. All the way up to more nefarious motives.

I mean for example if your project is some plugin that makes pretty graphs. What you can do is email strangers screenshots between your plugin's graphs and the graphs they're using now. No pressure to buy, just a cold email suggesting it could help them.

That is just going to be way more effective than putting up some ads on Instagram.

I guess what I was trying to say is that if faced with something in checklist format, you tend to do the easiest things first, instead of the scary ones with the most impact.
The "outrage" is a function of the MSM's ability to make money off the issue. I'm not sure about God, but journalism is certainly dead.
The article is pure FUD spreading.

"potentially being able to eavesdrop on our conversations", so now any app which has access to microphone "may be listening"?

So it uses data which you are willingly share with it to "serve better ads". Where is a problem with that? Does the author prefer worse ads?
I agree, it is a very thorough.

But as I have found in consulting many "side-project" developers is they want a condensed list of at most 5 things they can do to guarantee success.

Since on top of building the product themselves, they are also the ones having to build the email list, build the marketing campaign, etc. Like grandparent, they are looking for a faster list to check off.

So my fast list is:

The reason why the AI is limited in number of actions is because the strategy is interesting, not so much the mechanical skill (think aimbots in FPS games). We know the AI will be better at clicking and moving units and would be capable of moving every unit optimally at all times. But is it also capable of coming up with creative strategies that humans could use as well?

I think both situations would be interesting to be honest. Have an unrestricted AI and a restricted AI - using ML they would probably develop vastly different ways of playing.
Oh, you! Trying to replace public servant jobs? That is against the law!
No worries, just post a new one.
I'm taking this class now. I've finished the first two weeks of the first course and am about to begin the first set of programming assignments.

Some initial impressions:

- I really like Andrews teaching style, which is why I took the course. If you are familiar with his machine learning coursera class and enjoy it, you will enjoy this as well. It really feels like a seamless continuation of the ML course and the concepts taught there are helpful. You may want to go through that course first to learn the basics, but if your math is solid you can jump right in to this.

- the course teaches python, numpy, and tensorflow. Some folks had trouble with Octave in the ML course, so many will appreciate the stack being taught here.

- there is lots of foundational mathematics. Some like that (I do) and some don't. If you are not interested in core calculus or linear algebra details and just want to learn applied deep learning through code, you may enjoy the fast.ai courses more (which to me felt a bit cargo culty)

- it's still early in the specialization for me so take the above with a grain of salt!

> In particular, the service launcher (launchd, mentioned in the article), and various other system level things (including logs, also mentioned in the article), have so little official documentation as to be laughable.

God launchd's documentation is so woefully incomplete it's soul-crushing, even more so as they deprecate "legacy" subcommand (which are "community documented" as various souls tried to understand how to make them work) and the documentation for the "replacements" is even worse. I'm not a sysadmin, I don't really care for launchd, but every time I want to set up a cron I waste an hour trying to coerce it into doing something useful before just falling back onto crontab.

Not to mention the… idiosyncratic command lines which makes even documented tools a chore to use fucking `lipo`:

lipo [-info] [-detailed_info] [-arch arch_type input_file] ... [ input_file] ... [-arch_blank arch_type] [-create] [-thin arch_type] [-replace arch_type filename] ... [-remove arch_type] ... [-extract arch_type] ... [-extract_family arch_type] ... [-verify_arch arch_type ...] [-output output_file] [-segalign arch_type value] ...

the various options are mostly exclusive which is documented but weird as fuck, but then say you want to check if a given binary contains a specific arch

-verify_arch arch_type …
Take one input file and verify the specified arch_types are
present in the file. If so then exit with a status of 0
else exit with a status of 1.

You'd expect `lipo -verify_arch x86_64 <file>`, but no, since it can take multiple arch rather than repeat -verify_arch you must put it at the tail: `lipo <file> -verify_arch x86_64`, if you don't you get a screenful of garbage telling you that you gave an incorrect architecture flag, which architecture flags are valid and re-printing the synopsys.
What really killed google for me was their gradual transition to showing results that are the most popular thing that's merely related to your search terms. Whereas DDG wouldn't show me many good results for some searches, google shows me endless links to high-profile stuff that is explicitly not what I asked for. Contrived example: search for "vegan meals", and google goes "vegan, hmm.. oh, MEALS! Yes! Here's everything I know about MEALS! Here's some steaks you should buy!" The only way I can get good results out of google these days is to perform the search, then switch it to verbatim mode.
Didn't Tesla open all of their patents?
Thanks! I've always found it unnatural to design solutions in an oop way. And any time I have done it the code always seems a lot harder to debug afterwards.
At the same time I kinda always felt that my preference for procedural code reflected badly on my programming skills. To hear someone who is clearly skilled and knowledgeable argue so well in support of the way i like to program was a bit like having a weight lifted off my shoulders.
Forgive us - "conservatives" largely support the world's most famous birther, a man who criticized an American judge based on his ethnicity, and attacked a gold star family because they were muslim. If they're not racist, then they're totally cool with it? Or just really stupid. Forgive me for making that conclusion.
Getting certified (at least for the association I use) requires that you are able to demonstrate rescuing an unconscious diver at the appropriate depth (after identifying their blackout).

Well done helping that person. Rescuing a free diving blackout has the benefit (for the rescuer) of an unconscious victim.

It's easy to spot when agile webdev types don't do this... you end up with a responsive mobile site that is missing half the features that you want.

It's easy for sharpie commandos to sort interactions by priority and build a user story that hits most of the priority interactions. Splitting isn't natural especially when the designers aren't very experienced.

IMO somebody representing the business who isn't a designer needs to be in the approval process to throw back work when all of the necessary interactions aren't captured.
More information is out now. There was no body on the sub, and Madsen has changed his story about dropping her off[1]. The timeline[2] makes it odd that she would have been on the sub that long...she wasn't intending on a long overnight trip.

Also, the eyewitness accounts of the sinking make it sound like the sinking was deliberate:

"Kristian Isbak, who had responded to the Navy's call to help locate the ship on Friday, told The Associated Press he first spotted Madsen standing wearing his trademark military fatigues in the submarine's tower while it was still afloat.
"He then climbed down inside the submarine and there was then some kind of air flow coming up and the submarine started to sink," Isbak said. "(He) came up again and stayed in the tower until water came into it" before swimming to a nearby boat as the submarine sank, he added." [3]

Have you done blood testing for food sensitivities, where they test 120+ things?

Not that one - it never seemed top priority (given that I had a very limited budget due to being ill and unable to derive a good income, until recently). I just learned what foods/chemicals should be avoided. For me it's really just dust/dustmite, mould, some household chemicals, but that's about it. At certain points through the healing journey I've felt better when I've avoided things like grains, gluten, dairy, sugar, caffeine, but all those things are becoming less of an issue these days.

do you remember having any ear infections as a child?

Not really (I did have asthma from about 9) but I've had tinnitus (ringing ears) since about 13, which is sometimes said to be linked to inflammation/oxidation/chronic infections. That's one thing that hasn't resolved yet but I'm hopeful that it will eventually, and if/when it does, it will be interesting to observe any correlations with blood indicators of inflammation/oxidation.

Well, for one thing, it's the best model our society makes available for raising and supporting kids. That's not to say it is necessarily a very good model, but I think if you have to choose between your kids growing up with their parents in a stable and functional, if not especially warm or happy, relationship on the one hand, and your kids growing up with divorced parents on the other, it's very hard to find any way to justify the latter choice on the basis of their welfare.

Quite aside from that, though, I'm still not seeing any reason to assume that relationships in general exhibit this problem - only that it's not quite as uncommon as the highly atypical nature of my own experience led me to surmise.

(Or what I hope to be the highly atypical nature, anyway. If marriages like mine are anything except vanishingly uncommon, that's a serious problem. There are so many improbable circumstances around the way mine started that I've seen no reason to assume many similar relationships exist - but on reflection it occurs to me that I've failed to account for the possibility of stochastic convergence.)
At first I could not find a way to sign up without paying - when I click enroll, I didn't see the audit link that Sjenk and others mention.

The trick is that the audit link only appears when you sign up for the individual course, not the entire sequence. So if you go to this link:

https://www.coursera.org/specializations/deep-learning

... and click "Enroll", you can only proceed by supplying payment info. However, if you scroll down to that page to the box titled "Course 1", at the bottom of that box is a link "You can choose to take this course only. Learn More".

Click on THAT to go to the individual course page. Then, click Enroll, and in the first box that pops up, you'll see the link "Or audit this course" in the lower left.

This allowed me to sign up for all five without supplying payment info.
