I really think for normal people the chance is close to zero... Walmart’s accounts have to reconcile to their bank’s, the bank’s accounts need to reconcile with their accounts at the central bank... There are checks and balances, fraud tends to be found out eventually when things don’t match, and at the end of the day, 99% or the population don’t understand proof-of-work or proof-of-stake anyway...

I think some of the problems of the current system are overstated (dare I say some are even imagined?) by crypto-enthusiasts. There’s no doubt that blockchain is fascinating and useful technology, but the idea that it’s a perfect and complete replacement for a crumbling system just doesn’t actually map to reality...
(I work in telephony, working on voice recognition and voice id now and related tech now.) Current state of voice ID tech we were offered to buy is very dismal - it can identify a person but only if the pool of people is approx. 5K.

Pretty sad if you ask me, and - perhaps - it will never get better as it is tougher to tell a person by their voice rather than their looks.

And in any case, remember children: biometric data is user id and not password!

I don't see any of the commenters here understand why Xiaomi rise again, and ironically the author of this article.

Xiaomi is like Amazon in China's smart home market, except with a much stronger mobile department that Amazon would dream to get.
You could still verify some things, e.g. if you expect the model to have a certain kind of symmetry, or always produce outputs within a certain range, or something like that. Of course it would be best to encode those expectations in the model structure or training algorithm, but it might be useful to know whether you got it right.

For the common case of "The model misclassified a data point, no idea why.", formal verification doesn't help, but that doesn't make it completely useless. Probably not worth the effort, though.
Yes. And I shall call it “my GitHub repo!”

This resonates with me. I much prefer conversations over group meetings, and I would very much like to have more of those conversations instead of daily meetings.

However, I've suggested this to managers before and received forceful feedback that they "did not have time for that".

It was confusing - if you're a pure manager, what more valuable allocation of your time could there be than in talking directly to people?
Way too much information leakage from its mobile OS (MiUI?) back to China though.
First, thanks for the depth of your response. A little effort goes a long way. And, the links help, in particular.

I am still skeptical of some points (the NYC article, for example seems to make some large logical leaps), but at least I have paths for further research.

Minds can change. Often we just need more and better information (and some time to digest it all).
The existence of unidentified flying objects—observed aerial phenomena without a contemporaneous clear explanation—has never been in even the slightest bit of doubt.

What has been (and remains) in considerable doubt is particular proposed identifications for some subsets of UFOs, particularly, the explanation that some are extraterrestrial spacecraft.

And the ET explanation has not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt; it is, at best, for some UFO incidents among the explanations which cannot be unequivocally rejected based on existing evidence.

"something is not quite right" is called intuition, machines can't have intuition, once they have they won't be machines anymore.
My immediate reaction (not being a physicist or an aeronautical engineer) is that I think it's unlikely you're going to see those kinds of performance characteristics in something "propulsion" based.

The first line of business would be the power source. The intuition would be that you need a mobile high energy power source. The counter-intuitive idea would be that the necessary power source would be so giant that it could never be mobile (like a dyson sphere), but there may be some method of linking a stationary power source with a mobile ship across vast distances. This offers control convenience if an advanced race still needs an authority structure and the possibility of remote monitoring. That also brings up the question of un"manned" exploration drone fleets bouncing between star systems and reporting back.

As for movement, I would like to think that something with the observed extreme acceleration and the assumed interstellar capability is using a highly performant computer to calculate adjustments to an inside-out standing wave solution that the ship's outer shell is built for. Imagine shifting waveforms and your ship just kind of repositions yet it feels like you're completely still. Any space debris or other objects encountered while repositioning might get trapped outside the ship so that whenever you arrive at your destination you have to shed the debris. I'm sure a physicist will chime in and say this can never work, but at least from a naive perspective I like the idea of it.
You can’t even say it’s an information problem. I constantly do the wrong thing even though I know many people or a particular person thinks it’s a bad idea. Because I don’t have their conviction in its wrongness.
This is not an apology for high latency, although, on the other hand, typing at the speed of thought is the main cause for rm -rf / and other similar mishaps.
One doesn't have to seek analogies in other areas to find a recent precedent for US government agents spreading disinformation about UFO incidents: http://www.wired.co.uk/article/mirage-men . I think the first question that the latest reports should prompt is: who in the US government might want a new and very high-profile round of UFO disinformation right now, and why?
What is this "rest"? Are you really convinced this is a correct generalization? What about Mi 5, Mi Mix, 4C/A/X, can you show what they copied? Their first well-known phones barely had any design to speak of, and the same could be said for modern Redmi Notes etc.

Loose sim cards, really? I've had experience with 6 Xiaomi phones to date and never noticed that. Shaky GPS? Yes, this happened on one bottom-line Redmi, but it's hardly pervasive as far as I can tell. Software is debatable – it's not Pixel experience, I'll concede, but also definitely not TouchWiz. Battery is on average better than for most Chinese brands or for Apple, though inferior to, say, LG and Samsung. (One actual issue: camera performance is varying, typically it's bad without customization).

I won't argue that at least some models are clearly very closely copying a major brand (for instance, MiA1 is openly compared to iPhone, Mi Note 2 has Samsung S6 design), but this does not appear to be a crucial part of their business strategy (unlike the more abstract "Chinese Apple/cheap Samsung" sales pitch), and comments like yours strike me as repating a vague stereotype. In the post-iPhone era, striking design originality is rare to find, and Xiaomi doesn't seem more prone to copying than most others. They jump on the bandwagon as soon as the new technology becomes available/popular, and that's about it.
There is much wisdom in this essay.

Complementary to 1-1s are short, daily stand-ups that: (a) dispatch with unforeseen challenging items that involve multiple players and necessary coordination, (b) identification of redundant work or cross-team delegation where a more knowledgeable team member offers to do something that they would be more efficient at, (c) public prise and building a sense of momentum and respect among team members.

Instead of big meetings, especially with other groups, asking for a working document is sometimes the best way to collaborate with cross-functional teams. Concrete artifacts focus attention. It can be asynchronous. If the materials are reviewed by managers before the meeting, you can avoid pontification and poor use of your staff's time. Recorded presentations of these documents can also be productive for broader audience, provided the materials are reviewed before they are presented. Even within one's team, written communication is essential to building shared knowledge. Calling for trouble shooting or brainstorming meetings can work well if the meetings are promptly rescheduled if team members have failed to read the prerequisite materials.

Surely we're due for one of these soon. Given our infantile understanding of quantum mechanics and physics, it's a matter of time before we observe something that defies modern science.
Eeh I have quite a few of these in data centers for Deep Learning work. What am I supposed to do now. Swap them out for Tesla/Quadro cards? Switch to AMD or Xeon Phi? Or just ignore it and possibly violate ToS. Nice move Nvidia ...

Interesting. Someone should start selling a special Linux gaming distribution coupled with the right hardware. I wonder how Alienware and the likes compare.
> And some (not most) of the time they'll have almost no effect on performance, functionality, or end-user impact at all, but we still do it.

And-that's-okay --- the effect isn't on today's but tomorrow's: performance, functionality, and end-user impact. As long as a business/org is developing stuff that's "here to stay" --- in-house solutions or software products with a life-time expected beyond a 0$-mobile-app's 15 weeks-to-months of fame in the best case --- it will or should be hugely motivated to learn from what you and others have to say in the "code quality" department. If only to avoid twice-a-decade whole-system-rewrite pains & costs.
Explanation yes. Convincing explanation no. It could have been caused by balloons. Balloons can't fly at 2000km/h, nor accelerate at 100g, so for the ballon hypothesis to work you'd have to assume there was also a major malfunction in the two F-16 lock-on systems. You'd also have to assume there was a major failure in the military ground radar system.

However, when you make those assumptions, that opens up a can of worms for other possible explanations. Assuming there was sensor system malfunction, the incident could also be explained though a flock of helicopters flying around. Or it could have been several NSA spy planes flying around. I've seen both those explanations put forth as an explanation for what happened in Belgium.

I don't believe it's possible to disprove either your balloon hypothesis nor the helicopter hypothesis. There's just not enough evidence to make any convincing explanation.

I don't own one, but I've read Xiaomi provide regular software updates. As a Motorola G4 owner stuck on the Android March 2017 update, that's attractive.
It appears that the main source of latency in these tests are from key travel time, which does not accurately represent the speed of the keyboard. Gaming keyboards often has a lot of key travel before the key is triggered. This is on purpose to give better control of the key and allow for "floating" where the key is half way pressed and quickly switched between actuated and non-actuated state.

For a better test, in my opinion, the key actuation point should be determined and the timer started at that point. Of course this depends on what you want to test. But to say that a gaming keyboard is slow, just because there is more key travel, is inaccurate.
Nice times when customisation and personalisation were things that the user did. Reading other comments here, I guess we need some ad block software not only on our browsers, but also on our faces.
Oil? Can make essentially oil from coal, water, and electric power. We can get electric power from nukes, water from the oceans, and here in the US we've got lots of coal. E.g., last I heard, a major fraction of the state of Utah has a layer of coal about 30 feet thick.

Well how about, at least in IT and S/W development, we encourage remote working, rather than promoting childish "agile" work practices where people come in at 9 am for a "daily standup" and mess around by writing tasks on sheets of paper like in the last century?

The notion of a user's past history with rich data has been something high end restaurants have been trying to manage either via spreadsheets or via custom crm implementations. What we have done is to make that easier through product design and machine intelligence to bring it to more down market restaurants.

Tangentially, since you mention INFP.

It seems to me that the Myers-Briggs test is becoming mainstream. I see people mention these personality codes more and more.

Do you have a source for that? I read the same thing a while ago but couldn't find a source more recently.
As I said when I spotted this on Twitter, I think highlighting multiple things at the same time is a bit confusing. Looking at the equations, I, for one, can't easily spot any connections between the colorized parts of the equation and the textual description; it becomes all the same rainbow porridge.

What I'd like instead: highlight only a single thing in a single equation, and accompany the highlight with a text that explains it. Then repeat the (image with highlight, textual explanation) pairs until you've explained everything. Benefits: 1. I believe for many people like me, attention and focus on a single "highlighted" item at a time is much easier. 2. You can use only a single "highlight" color that can be colorbind friendly (it's enough that it is noticeably different than black) 3. You don't need to explain the equation in a single text passage (unlike in the examples, where it looks like the author wants to explain all of the equation in a single sentence so that all different concepts in the equation are represented in different colors both in a single text and the equation itself.)

Also, in my experience, yellow/orange is terrible color for text / plots in print. (Peter Flach's machine learning textbook uses yellow extensively for similar "text highlights", and it made many sentences in that book frankly unreadable. I simply could not read light yellow text on white paper background.)
A few years back I read a book on neuroplasticity. It was a great read, although possibly aimed slightly above my knowledge on the subject (zero). From memory, this was what I took away:

• you can change the way you think. It takes a lot of effort, time, and motivation - but it’s within reach. Small improvements lead to bigger ones over time.

• diet, excersize and good sleep are all involved. You can’t eat junk food, sleep poorly, and expect to see much of a difference.

• making good decisions is a large part of the process. Eat well. Sleep well. Put yourself in the right situations. Don’t put yourself in the wrong ones. If you’re afraid of speaking in public, speak in public. If you need to be more organised, buy a planner (app?) that will help you with your organisation. Etc

To me, a lot of it seemed to be grounded in common sense. Seems to be well regarded/reviewed too, for anyone interested: https://www.amazon.com/Rewire-Your-Brain-Think-Better/dp/047...
I believe a social safety net is important and I don't see how to avoid freeloaders, but in my community I know a LOT of people who have gotten on disability completely on purpose and if you talked to them for 10 minutes they would tell you they did it on purpose. Not all states have the same qualifications to get on disability.
his miscalculation is everywhere, you e.g. see the same thing with banks opening locations every 5 blocks.

Not necessarily. One bank I worked at discovered that people are more likely to sign up for online banking if they had the reassurance of a physical presence. That's what those branches are really for. The lower overall servicing cost of an online customer makes up the difference in the rent. They aren't full of traditional lines of tellers doing everyday transactions, they are spacious inside and you go there for advice and big items like mortgages or pensions or life insurance, sitting on a sofa sipping a coffee.
Tried searching for the app in Google Store. Does the app exist for Android?
The only things I feel compelled to add (as Seattle is facing a similar condition to 'the bay area' now), are that at a mega-city, county, and state, maybe even federal level, there needs to be a 'resource recycling collector' that kicks in when the market fails; and that building codes should be much stricter about quality of life issues.

There are neighborhoods that simply need /vastly/ more density than currently exists, or which have predominantly older buildings and infrastructure. Those areas should be bought out en-mass by the people (government), and sale encouraged at some fixed ratio of existing market valuations consistent with values prior to market insanity.

The entire area can then be taken offline and upgraded from the base up with a full-refresh; ideally at a density target and with modern building codes and designs.

Those building codes should make apartment/condo living affordable, as well as requiring sufficient space, isolation, and quality of life for all involved. It should be less costly and higher quality of life to live in a city, not more costly and lower quality of life as it is now.
This does pose a conundrum for UFO conspiracy theorists though. i.e. Why would the Pentagon spend millions on a UFO program if, as conspiracy theorists believe, they've had evidence about them since at least the Roswell incident? Bob Lazar in fact has claimed to have actually worked on these craft and have witnessed humans fly them.

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

The interviews with him about this are on Youtube.

So either, the US government knew about them but didn't tell the Pentagon; or the Pentagon had no such program; this program was meant to spread misinformation; neither the US gov nor the Pentagon ever had any evidence of UFOs.
It's just possible to give full access with PSD2. Even a third company just has access to pay a bill with your account, they can see each transaction on your account.
The idea behind PSD2 is, as far I understand, a lot of services should have access to your account, to make it easy to pay with smarthones ond third party cards.

I really wanted to believe this was real until I went to the 'to the stars academy' website. Luis Elizondo is on their board.

This 'academy' and all its directors have a huge financial incentive to convince others that they're onto something.

The top of their front page has a large 'invest' button. You can purchase shares in this 'academy'.

This reeks of a scam, or at least a bunch of psuedo-scientific conspiracy fueled 'research' that will never amount to anything other than begging for more funds and blaming shortcomings on gov coverups.

Yeah, ROCm is the most viable candidate as of today.
In general, Nvidia are not good for middleware vendors. They want to be one, but don't offer a platform that integrates with anything. Licensing costs for the DGX-1 are insanely high.
My problem is mostly from a data scientist perspective - teams don't need a few high performance GPUs, like a couple of DGX-1 boxes. They need a hundred 1080Tis, maybe complemented by a DGX-1 (which would cost the same a 2 DGX-1s). That way they can do lots of parallel experiments (hyperparam optimization), and distributed training. Making GPUs a scarce resource just re-inforces the lead of the hyperscale AI companies, who have thousands of GPUs available for their data scientists.

If you lived in a deflationary regime, what incentive would you have to work? You'd rather just sit on your wealth and do nothing. There would be no economic output.
To get that right, if you're a restaurant using your services:

a) you spy on your guests

b) you cross reference with other data sets without your guests knowing

c) you do this for improved revenue
