(The crash wasn't caused by remote control hacking -- that's an absurdly complicated and high-profile way for well-funded professional murderers to murder a single relatively minor person. If we was murdered, it was by some kind of mechanical sabotage or by impairing his mental state with some drug.)

The more tests you have, the easier it is to write new tests. It works like this:

"Let's see, I need my setup to be X. Well, this other test has a setup X' that is almost the same; I'll just copy that and tweak it. Then I need to open a connection to server Y; this other test does that. Copy again (or make it a subroutine)..."

After all of that, I only have to write maybe 20% of the test. That makes it a lot faster...

The bottling by Coca-Cola and Pepsi is mostly a legacy of the time when both of those were bottled by independent but contracted bottlers who sometimes also bottled Dr. Pepper, and has decreased since those companies have largely bought out their bottlers. That will probably continue to decrease, but yet another merger of the corporate

The article is not talking about car bombs. It's talking about attacks like "make every car of model X that's currently on the road accelerate to 120mph and then ram the nearest wall". This would kill a number of people on the order of magnitude of the number of cars of model X in existence (assume each one only kills one person, the driver), but even that can easily be on the order of hundreds of thousands to millions. For example, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla there were 40 million Corolla's sold over the span of 47 years, which means there are certainly model years out there with close to a million vehicles sold.

If I'm understanding correctly (I haven't read it in depth yet):

Points are processed as local clusters. Each cluster of points is ordered according to a transformation matrix X. This produces a "canonical" ordering so the processing of points in these local clusters do not need to be invariant to the order since the order now has consistency and meaning.

It's kind of like placing each point into a regular grid like an image before running the convolution. The trick is which points to put in which grid cell which is determined by the transformation matrix X. This takes advantage of locality which PointNet does not, if I recall correctly. By acting locally and stacking many layers of these you can produce a hierarchy of more and more abstract clusters of points, each with an inherent relationship to nearby clusters of points. In addition, the transformation matrix also appears to act as an attention over the points in the cluster.

> if I'm using software RAID and clone the partition tables, should I assume that the UEFI firmware will default to the first disk's ESP

With regards to your question: I guess it depends on what you mean by "software" raid. Enabling RAID in the "BIOS" (that term has now come to encompass the firmware configuration utility for UEFI motherboards as well) (typically Intel "RST" rapid storage RAID, nvraid for nVidia chipsets (less common these days), AMD raid, etc.) is 100% software raid, which does nothing more than make the BIOS aware of its presence (and toggle a flag so that RAID drivers can find the array) so that it doesn't run into exactly the problem you describe, i.e. it'll be aware of the cloning at a level higher than the UEFI bootloader init, which will only see the virtual raid volumes rather than their independent components.

Now if you put all that aside and are just wondering how it selects in the presence of multiple ESPs on different devices that made it through to the bootloader layer: the UEFI "BIOS" doesn't know (and can't know) since UEFI has done away with the concept of drive order entirely. You can set the order manually in the "boot device order" section (typically on the boot tab in the BIOS config) or choose the one-time boot target via F11 or F12 at the boot-up screen, but otherwise it's just a tossup and the BIOS is free to chose any local device's ESP as "the" ESP. In practice, it'll choose one of the SATA drives (assuming a mix of other interfaces such as NVMe), either the first to respond (not an issue with SSDs which respond quickly, but magnetic media takes time to spin up if you're still using old HDDs) or the first to be enumerated by the SATA controller (which has its _own_ firmware and its own level of abstraction and logic (and bugs) and whatnot).

BUT in the case of software raid, that RAID 0 should actually extend to the GPT itself and both drives will have the same content and mirrored ESPs, so in practice it won't matter which is loaded (so long as your OS doesn't do anything stupid like try to modify the on-disk structure before loading the RAID-aware storage driver. I've seen BIOSes that "helpfully" store a copy of the current firmware to a locally-attached disk with an understandable partition format (so FAT32) that ended up breaking a RAID because the drives were no longer in sync because the BIOS wasn't aware of the mirror).

Or have major platforms (realistically, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android) ship decoders at the platform level, and have them ubiquitous enough. This is, ultimately, how we got H.264 decoders commonplace in browsers.

That said, Firefox held out for a long time with H.264, and only once it was clear it was costing them users did they give in and add H.264 to the whitelisted platform codecs exposed.

Primarily because "correctness" is likely to be subjective or difficult to define, while "accuracy" is not.

That said, the terms more often used here are "precise, but not accurate" (http://blog.minitab.com/blog/real-world-quality-improvement/...) but note that this uses a different meaning for accuracy than parent used. For example, say you use 22/7 to derive the value of pi. You can easily calculate it to 60 or more decimal places. You'll be very precise. However, you won't be accurate because your methodology of using 22/7 is flawed. It's also very easy to create more precision: just keep calculating. On the other hand, it can be very difficult to create more accuracy: How do we even measure pi to be able to confirm the ratio is correct?

That seems like a lot of violence. I wonder if Pinker includes that.

Edit: To clarify, I consider state violence, even if legal punishment, to nonetheless be violence.
I've mentioned this in other threads but I had a very significant holding in ETH (more than enough to buy a car) stuck in limbo for about a week until I emailed them every day about it.

> Why isn't it practical? Is it because the network would have to be too deep, or too wide? Would the optimizer just get stuck in a local minima or would overfitting be inevitable? Or perhaps some combination of issues?

Schmidhuber did a paper a few years ago showing near SoTA performance on computer vision using just a fully connected net. One of our students showed how a convolution is just a weight-tied matrix multiply here: https://medium.com/impactai/cnns-from-different-viewpoints-f...

So the issue is that without the weight-tying, you've got more parameters to regularize (which can decrease performance) and train (which takes longer). So you should use weight tying where you can - e.g. by using convolutions.

In general, domain-specific architectures try to find structure in the underlying data and problem, and use that to decrease the number of parameters we need. The use of implicit factorizations in the inception and xception architectures is a good example.

They seem to follow the modern model, where support is fully separated from development. People writing the software only learn of customer voes through annual recaps, sanitized for content of course, and the occasional HN post that makes front page.

This is a very, very successful model, as demonstrated by many of the biggest companies around.
Faster very frequently is one of those demands, though--be it lower latency, quicker response to failure, whatever. And "fast" is hard, and "fast" very frequently does require the development of tools, and tooling, that understands and respects that need. Which is a big reason why, when I need a user interface, I write code in React: because I'm not waiting on page blanks or writing my own partial page composition stuff. And it's why I mostly use k8s and containers when working on devops-related tooling and architecture: because it's faster and better at reacting to failure cases than something I can build myself. (This wasn't always the case, but it's gotten there now.)

Users also, for the most part, demand more correct. Not always, and not in all applications, but the tolerance for jank is going down over time. And this is a big reason why I use React and Redux: because React maps better to my understanding of how code works (namely, that extracting state to the imperative outer shell of the functional core leads to generally more correct and maintainable code) and Redux maps better to my understanding of how data works (namely, that specific and replayable transforms create manageable state). It's also a reason why I use containers: to turn the runtime environment into an "API" that is evaluated and tested in isolation from the "API consumer" that lives in the container.

We are progressively moving towards software with these demands, too, and tools are evolving to respond to them. The panic around complexity is, IME, hyperbolic; a failure to choose tools with wisdom is endemic, it's not new.
I wonder if I'm in the minority -- but when I look at unread email I see only the sender and subject. If I don't recognize the sender, and the subject line sounds like marketing-speak, including phrases such as "we've missed you" or "checking in" or "touching base" or "reaching out" or is something generic like "hey" that email is getting deleted unopened. I delete dozens of messages a day unread on that basis, and it only takes a few seconds.
Absolutely not. Most industrial automation engineers, let alone electricians, are unable to handle Structured Text (the standard IEC text-based programming language for PLCs), let alone Python. Haskell is not even on the same planet.

And a DSL is the exact opposite of what we're trying to accomplish: An electrician with no prior knowledge of the system needs to be able to read the code and understand which switches and sensors need to be turned on in order for that motor over there to start. Having to learn an entire new custom language at 3AM when you're losing $700,000 an hour in lost production is not an option.

(Edit: I should clarify that I'm talking about mining here. High end factory automation engineers may very well be more familiar with 'traditional' languages.)

Thanks for the response.

My response is not based upon the 'relative violence' objection which some other writers have used. Put simply they have stated that violence does not scale linearly with population size, and that the types and methods of violence across different scopes looks different, but Pinker's argument ignores this level of abstraction - I think there's some merit to this position, but my critique comes from a different angle.

My argument is that rates of violence themselves are not a good metric to determine if society is progressing and humans are becoming better. I support this by stating that there are confounding variables which lower rates of violence, but also represent a regression in progress, none of which are controlled for by Pinker's analysis.

Violence is not an uncaused cause. First order in this respect refers to how far down the causal chain violence is. I am stating that at a social level, violence does not spontaneously manifest itself- there are contributory factors which function as the cause of violence. The primary factor which I identify is conflict. Reduction and resolution of conflict by peaceful means is a more valuable method of analyzing the progress of society.

From there, I indicate that at the micro level, access to justice is in peril - some countries have largely lost the ability for their middle class to access their official forum for conflict resolution. Elsewhere, I've indicated that citizen-state and state-state dispute resolution are impacted by surveillance and nuclear armaments. Accordingly, from the perspective of conflict resolution the full story is more complicated and whether or not any of these trends are positive is highly debatable.
That is very a good idea! For now it is stateless & frontend-only. But I was thinking on improving it, like a prettier UI and adding a "print" button, or maybe a "export to png". If I ever add a server side to it, it will feature a share & see option.

I regularly hear "faster" or "snappier" or "more responsive." Which was my original impetus to learn React: that full page loads and page blanks weren't cutting it anymore.

If you have a better answer than single-page application tooling for this that is not "well, print a huge document, people will totally scroll to find things and wait for postbacks instead of expecting a navigable drill-down interface that responds to changes as they are made," I would genuinely be interested in hearing about it.
Why? The intrinsics aren't portable, the other code is.
This is true for many statistical analyses as well. The worst is when people smuggle in their non-quantifiable base assumptions and pretend like the resulting inference is some objectively true reality.
It's nontrivial to launder, say, $100k in LocalBitcoins.

The IRS doesn't care if you deanonymize tiny amounts (say, a few thousand dollars) but de-anonymizing LocalBitcoins for large operations can be easily done in the classic manner with sting operations since doing it regularly in large amounts generally is a crime even if the money is legitimately obtained.

Since the major traders in LocalBitcoin inevitably are violating money laundering laws if they don't report the large cash transactions, you should expect that they can be pressured to cooperate and report on their customers in exchange for immunity or reduced penalties.
It is indeed! Haven't noticed the binary was wrong too.
Is this in factory automation? I work in mining and everything is still very simple there, nothing more complex than a PID controller or speed ramps on some variable speed drives. I wish we could do some more advanced tuning, but the key criteria for anything we do is reliability, robustness (even in the face of sensor failures, everything is monitored and has manual overrides) and simplicity.

> Approval voting is the future of democracy

Approval voting is good for lots of things, but public elections by secret ballot aren't among them, because outside if open ballots and some kind of defined consequence of a particular vote, “approve” vs. “disspprove” doesn't mean the same thing on different ballots.

For single-winner elections Condorcet-satisfying methods are pretty much the gold standard; but minimizing single-winner elections for ones that can use proportional systems (not necessarily party-list; candidate-centered options like STV are viable) is also an important technique.
