That may be a little like saying "People with asthma just aren't trying hard enough to breathe. If they just wanted it bad enough, the wheezing would stop. Go ahead, take a deep breath now."

Depression makes it hard to do anything and can be rooted in other issues that physically make it hard to do anything.

Some people find their way out, but there is a reason why the doldrums has come to have the meaning it has.

The doldrums is a colloquial expression derived from historical maritime usage, which refers to those parts of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean affected by the Intertropical Convergence Zone, a low-pressure area around the equator where the prevailing winds are calm. The doldrums are also noted for calm periods when the winds disappear altogether, trapping sailing ships for periods of days or weeks.

Just like sailors once got stuck due to lack of winds, people with depression sometimes just get stuck. If they can find a means to get unstuck, awesome! But we don't know how to readily fix this. We know some things that sometimes help some people. But there is no slam dunk solution guaranteed to work.
Nope. “With no reason to...” is a contextual connector, it adds to the first statement. Your interpretation would be correct if it read “therefore have no reason to...”

"we would just make it a project and switch clouds. " and "And once we switched we would be done."

That makes a lot of sense.

I'm aware of few startup that use 8 clouds - including barematels from providers that you may not have heard of. Their devops team's expertise overshadows the challenges in managing multiple clouds. it is not practice to expect such level for startups.

>And if you think there's any sort of API or unifying panel that would eliminate the additional work of maintaining multiple clouds, I've got this really lovely bridge to sell you....

Yes - lib cloud APIs is one for Python. Also we at ActOnMagic, tried to support multiple clouds via www.actoncloud.com portal.

So what we are saying is that "Uber scale kind of companies would like MultiCloud?

That basically is what it means, or at least, it's a primary defining characteristic.

There are some other relevant characteristics, which make the definition a bit fuzzy.

The biggest one is that they need to have retained some identifiable aspects of their culture in the face of subsequent settlement.

But to a first approximation, first to settle - or at least being among the first to settle - is the primary basis for determining indigenousness.
Quoting the paper, an example of this "terrible" implicit bias is associating men with programming and women with house keeping.

What exactly does an AI that's free from biases look like? Will it presume for instance, that all men and all women are the same, all the time?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the whole point of AI is to find patterns in the data that can help make decisions that lead to a desired outcome.

If you're not using real real world data, are you really doing AI?
Svyatoslav Igorevich (Sveinald Ingvarsson) was arguably the last ruler of Rus who was a pure-blooded Varangian (Viking), and mostly adhered to their customs - but, notably, he already used the Slavic form of his name predominantly, not the Norse one. His wives appear to have been Slavic, and his firstborn son had a Slavic name.

One of the other sons, Vladimir (Valdamarr), was still a Viking enough to go seek - and get! - the help of his Viking relatives in Scandinavia to overthrow his brothers. But after converting himself and the country to Eastern Christianity, arguably, he finally severed that link. His successors were definitely not Vikings in any sense, although they did marry their daughters into Scandinavian royalty, among others.
It's always difficult to come to an opinion on things like this. Ostensibly it seems like an incredibly humane and benevolent thing to do.

I wonder if agriculture caused societies to go through a population explosion just because it became economically much more worthwhile to have young children.

I'd assume in hunter-gatherer societies, children would not be that useful for hunting until they are fully grown, or in gathering until they've spent many years learning where to go to gather what. Also not useful in making tools, since those would take a lifetime to learn.

Whereas children are readily useful in traditional farming even at a younger age, because there are all sorts of places one can employ unskilled manual labor on a farm.

Hunter-gatherer societies had very low rates of demographic growth. And industrial societies are also seeing much lower population growth, because children are an enormous economic burden.

This is the Matthew principle in action (a.k.a the power law or Pareto distribution). In this particular example, powerful positive feedback loops are at work.

This stuff is everywhere -- from tiny microscopic processes, to most skill-based human endeavors, all the way up to many grand cosmological dynamics.

Now, humans are not lifeless particles, and our awareness gives us the ability to tweak the systems in which we operate, to a certain degree. But we can't entirely eliminate the existence of power law distributions and positive feedback loops.

We instead must work to mitigate and dampen some of the less desirable effects. We should be able to safely reduce the extremities of some of these distributions, as well as shifting entire curves further along one axis, bringing increased benefits to all.

Note: the above comment includes some new conceptual articulations & evolutions for me. Thoughtful feedback/ responses are kindly appreciated.

Anyone who lives in the Bay Area has seen this pairing disproportionately.) Asian females who have mostly Asian social circles, but who have racial inferiority complexes, are now able to satisfy their insecurities via Tinder by dating or having casual sex with white men. Yes, not all AMWF couples are based on creepy racial dynamics, but too many are.

Not really. Attacker can execute their own shell from your profile script. Who knows how it will handle paths.

Depending on configuration, this can be prevented with noexec mount, selinux or SMACK. Grsecurity and RSBAC can prevent unwanted exec.

Systems like apparmor, or grsecurity MAC, TOMOYO or YAMA do not work against executing wrong executables.

IMA (signing and verifying files) can work too.

If someone’s gonna maintain two ID’s they gotta use consistently perfect opsec or game over: a known-good VPN or jumpbox in a non-treaty country (paid in cash or bitcoin from a throwaway wallet), separate devices (burners with no real info, different carriers, purchased in cash, all location settings off, cameras removed, microphones disabled until needed, kept in the microwave when not in use), different language quirks in chat and hide their face in all photos on the sketchy ID. And no voice audio uploads or direct photo uploads without scrubbing image metadata.

There might be other possible uniquely-identifying information leaks usable by deep-learning against device activity granted to apps: mouse, keyboard, screen, app switching, gestures, etc.

Many of automation ideas here bring an edge to one person at the expense of everyone else. The ideas fail completely if too many people start doing the same thing. Actual examples from people on this list:

- User pokes immigration website repeatedly to submit his application as soon as the site starts accepting. Obviously if everyone did the same thing, no one would benefit. The thing that needs fixing is an immigration system based (partly on) quotas and first come, first serve.

- User automates sending amorous messages to his girlfriend, so long as she doesn't know they're automated. If enough people did it, girlfriends would eventually find out and the desired effect would be lost (or worse, they'd feel tricked).

- User automates saving of all store coupons to his loyalty card without ever looking at the coupon. This defeats the idea of coupons (to encourage you to try something you would not have otherwise bought). If everyone did it, coupons would cease to exist.

- User automates getting into desired university class by hammering the registration site repeatedly. Needless to say, if everyone started doing the same thing, no one would benefit.

- User automated complaining to the water utility about a problem in front of his house. Once again, it might work for one person, but becomes completely ineffective if everyone does it for problems in front of their houses.

- User automated late delivery complaints to post office to get compensation. If his script becomes too widely used, the monopoly post office will simply raise prices or stop offering compensation.
On the other hand (debates about the unity of the trinity aside), Christians believe in a single God as well (and that God is understood by Muslims to be Allah). So while the shahada is strongly associated with Islam, I doubt it would particularly conflict with Orthodox Christian teachings (IANA religious scholar). So perhaps the better analogy would be the US president wearing "A Mari Usque Ad Mare", the Canadian motto, which means "From Sea to Sea".

This reminds me of some of the "poet-saints" in Indian culture such as Kabir.

Yet, they are a part of Hindu, Muslim and Sikh religious thought today.

Sorry, yeah, I did mean specifically when it comes to your appeal for online dating.
Not sure that applies in this case. If the only party you allow to look at your code is one that's heavily invested in secretly hacking it, then you're probably going to give them some zero-days which they'll use maliciously. It's different if you let everyone look at it, since a white-hat might find something helpful. But this isn't a choice between everyone and no-one, it's between a known black-hat and no-one.

I am glad to hear that you found something that worked for you. But to add to your anecdote..

"sleep, proper diet, exercise" are necessary, but may often not be sufficient. Medication, when assessed by a qualified psychiatrist may be required. Therapy (if the depression is due to an event in the past) may also be required,

Finding which drugs work for you is hit or miss; finding a therapist who can guide you is also hit or miss; they can take time. But please don't dismiss medication & therapy. They are often required for many people.

Indeed, the trend is clear, but for now, nothing has changed.

Google's implementation is not very helpful to all those companies, individuals, NGOs, and governments that have to follow privacy laws, HIPAA, etc though, because Google's implementation isn't open source, and these entities can't use Google Cloud. Or don't want to.

Until we get an open source solution for this, SMP machines will be useful.

And even then, you save money by having less and larger machines in your cluster than just having tiny ones. Larger machines means your overhead is reduced.

>I wonder if it might disincentivize answering the question of how they became homeless?

If there is good quality safety net in place may be it wouldn't matter why people may become homeless because they wouldn't as they would always have a roof over their head. May be providing good quality safety net is much more efficient [and humane] way to solve homelessness than trying to address original causes ? Notes : 1. Not that i'm against addressing the original causes, it is just that all the history so far hasn't provided for much hopes of success here. 2. In no way though i think 250 units is a good quality safety net by itself, at best it is just a humble beginning, though a beginning in the right direction. I think more along the lines of good no-questions asked welfare with guaranteed minimal, yet fully compliant/acceptable housing.
It is obvious. This is pure PR for OpenAI. They are not doing anything that hasn't been done to death a decade ago.
Whoa, cool. I guess I ought to go visit a psychiatrist. Thank you.

if i write some part of the code to detect if you are a good human and will you go to hell or heaven, to evaluate that for me would be hard. and if you had a access to my source code you could check what i am looking for and could maybe cheat.

the vulnerability i would call is if i sent you to hell and you found a way to escape.

> To play devil's advocate, they may not be worried about vulnerabilities in their code but rather vulnerabilities in their method of virus detection

This is an argument for factoring out the means of virus detection into a closed-source plugin/module, while opening the source of the rest of the code. Particularly since detection is presumably pure (i.e. functional programming notions of purity and referential transparency), and thus much less likely to be a source of vulnerabilities, compared to the rest of the client which actually interacts with the OS, disks/files, etc. and is therefore much more likely to be exploited. Because the vulnerability scanner would still be a closed-source binary blob, the public would need to trust the company that the blob is actually pure, but seeing that blob within the context of an open-source client which is handling I/O makes that trust easier.

Yes, it makes it easier for malware creators to test their creations against the closed-source module before releasing their malware into the wild. But sophisticated malware writers are already doing that, by installing the anti-virus client into a VM, updating it, disconnecting it from networks, then loading the malware into the VM and seeing if the malware is detected or not. So malware writers don't gain that much from the opening of the rest of the codebase (unless they succeed in finding vulnerabilities that the rest of the world doesn't), and the white-hat public gains a much more trustworthy security tool.
The screen-space-as-a-distraction argument sounds to me more like an excuse for not being able to keep one's attention on the task at hand. If a person can not resist filling the screen space up with useless clutter, it's that person's problem, not the problem of having the screen space. Someone else is able to use that extra screen space productively.
All in all it seems a "I can't have it, so I convinced myself that having it would be bad, so I don't miss it as much" self-deception.
