Just don't forget to implement the counting of false positives. The current system doesn't work well, given that US still counts al-Mansoura as 30 ISIS fighters killed and not 150 IDPs as per the independent UN commission investigation.

Badness is subjective, yes. Doesn't mean it's invalid, you can still hold onto subjective notions just fine.

Personally I believe that my notion of bad, good, evil and angels is purely subjective. Doesn't mean they have less value. I merely acknowledge the value is subjective. Like how a childhood toy holds sentimental value.

> I must have missed the democratic discussion about private businesses assisting in killing people at all, a duty traditionally exercised by states.

I agree with you, but I have to point out that nearly all of our wars are motivated to make the world safe for American business. The killing fields run red so that we can mine the green shoots. The last time we voted on military action was right after 9/11, where we gave permission for an unending world-wide war and toppled two countries outright and publicly.

Many defense contractors made a killing off these shenanigans.

Related: Results of a 382 day voluntary fast https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2495396/ (1973)

This patient's initial weight was 207 kilograms, and over the course of a year he lost 125 kilograms. During this time he only consumed water, yeast, and multivitamins. After ending the fast, he successfully kept the weight off and only regained 7 kilograms over the next 5 years. He received a Guinness World Record for the longest recorded fast.

While a successful example of weight loss, the paper does cite five reports of fatalities occurring during total starvation weight loss treatment. It is probably not the safest way to lose weight.
Living in the bay, I have to say that I see more and more workers from those big companies as complete hypocrites without any sense of self-thinking.

When you speak to them, there is so much arrogance. They are convince that they are saving the world (give me a break, you are not).

And next to this you can see them earning a shitload of money, living in the posh-est neighborhood of SF, and looking up on all the homeless in the city that disturb their morning yoga.

23andMe costs $199, not $49. I used to do research based on DNA sequencing, and doing DNA extraction and high-volume sequencing costs way under $200 per sample. That being said, I don't know how many replicates 23andMe does per customer. If its a lot, or their prep process is more involved than I'd imagine, its possible their costs are over $200 a sample, but I doubt it.

I'd question that, with a caveat: if you want to live your life by conservative principles, nobody's going to care in the Bay Area. If you want other people to live their lives by your conservative principles, that's when people start to get pissed at you.

I know plenty of Christians in the Bay Area - my wife grew up in a conservative, evangelical household (and her parents are still very devout), so basically everyone she hung out with up through college runs in those circles. We don't personally drink or smoke out, though we have no problem with people who do. I have friends that go shooting regularly. I've been to a gun range with them, and enjoyed myself. My politics run mostly moderate libertarian - I'm for lower taxes and smaller government, but also believe that government has a role in righting externalities and ensuring a level playing field for everyone.

I've never met anyone in the Bay who has a problem with how I live my life - but then, I don't believe that other people need to live their lives the way I live mine.

You can also commit crimes in novels or roleplaying games that are illegal. That's different from supporting a market that causes child abuse.

Possessing digital/virtual information that required abuse endorses abuse. Entropy is our friend here; only an extremely rare set of bits results from child abuse. You won't just find it.

Even fiction or photoshop is illegal. Your argument is much more applicable here, but seeing how society treats even inactive pedophiles as criminals rather than sick, I don't think it'll be very popular.

Most drive filesystems essentially have two parts: A hierarchical index and a bulk storage area. The index stores a small amount of file metadata (such as the file name, child index nodes, etc) as well as references to chunks of data in the bulk storage area which actually contains the file data.

Unless you go out of your way to do otherwise, when you delete a file, the data isn't actually purged from the bulk data storage area. The references to the data in the index are just deleted or marked as deleted. For all intents and purposes, the file was deleted, but the data is still on the drive, in "unallocated space." Every time data is written to the drive, there's a chance that some of the "deleted" file will get overwritten, but until it is, the file data is on the drive.

If you accidentally deleted all the data off of a drive in this manner (such as with a quick format, which just wipes the index and writes a new one) you could still recover a good amount of the data. Fragmented data would be nigh impossible to automatically recover after a quick format since the data isn't contiguous and the mapping was nuked when the index was wiped, though if you had known data patterns to search for (such as a few 512 byte chunks of illicit data) then you could trivially flag a drive for deeper forensic inspection. For small or unfragmented files, you can recover them in full.

A number of Commodore audio engineers went on to work at Ensoniq - itself founded by SID creator Bob Yannes - and their 1986 'killer' synth, the Ensoniq ESQ-1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensoniq_ESQ-1), can be considered a successor to the SID.

It had some of the characteristic SID sound, but now much more refined. Beneath that familiar (and far more accessible) MIDI keyboard was an 8 bit synth (https://www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/emulate-an-...).
What you say makes a lot of sense. My understanding of why people moved out of the urban core in the first place was "white flight". People are moving back now, and the people living in the cities, typically the wealthier inhabitants, resist building any tall residential buildings, though they are happy to build upscale homes and businesses that kick out the poor.
>Or you could say that Amazon is highlighting the comparative lack of quality of branded goods. A Lacoste shirt is so easy to replicate at a fraction of the cost, that Amazon, by its very nature undermines the entire rationale for buying Lacoste.

And so does Alibaba, except for it is in China and is outside of US IP enforcement regime. If Amazon were not to do a great pivot towards 3rd party sellers back in 2012-2014 and do the same thing Alibaba does, we could have been talking about Alibaba swallowing Amazon's online retail business by now. Alibaba is a type of company you can do nothing about, yet it can do a lot of things about you, and I can throw a couple examples for you:

Paypal - they used to have a "partner agreement" with Alibaba, but the moment they began to carve into eBay's domain, Paypal's board was foolish enough to antagonise them.

Alipay was the result of all of above, as well as Paypal's almost complete loss of Chinese market, and few others where Alipay made inroads.

Apple - they had pretty much to bribe Alibaba along with Sony to have their products delisted and prohibit trade in refurbished electronics on their platform (which was also eating into Apple's sales big big time).

Also, Alibaba strongarmed Apple into letting them send payments and selling virtual goods without paying "Apple tax." Knowing that, Tencent and few other big Chinese dotcoms followed the suit, which gave them enormous commercial advantage against foreign competitors for in-app payments.

And all of above is on a minute scale of societal impact in comparison how Aliexpress singlehandedly nuked a big big chunk of the brick and store retail industry in the former bloc countries. (Alibaba makes more profit in Russia than in all other foreign markets combined)

That's what I always try to keep in mind. My son is now just over a year old and I have come to realize how hard it can be to let them make their own mistakes etc.

You always want the best for your children and often you have to remind yourself that maybe the best is just doing less.

In hindsight I now am surprised what my parents let me do on my own at very young age. Imagining giving my son this degree of freedom is a little scary I have to admit but I will try my best.

I am also a strong believer that happiness and success are very loosely connected at best.

I seem to recall that they later profited from that supply chain by cutting costs of their proper keyboards too, as they knew suppliers who wanted to break into the computer parts market that they could get to accept really thin margins, whereas most other home computer manufacturers who wanted "real keyboards" went to established keyboards manufacturers that were used to supplying the higher margin business market.

On the supply side their ability to cost-cut was even more legendary than their early designs...

> In blackjack with basic strategy your expected value is, what, 49%?

Assuming you number is correct, that's after just one game. So you're expected to lose 2% each game (51-49). So if you play 20 games, you lose 33.3% (1-0.98^20).

And you can't win against the casino in the long run. With cryptocurrency investments you can. In fact, if you choose a random time to invest, in, say, Bitcoin, you will win most of the time.
Fwiw, any society that becomes suddenly poor will not look very good. My understanding is that Venezuela invested too much in oil and didn't diversify the economy. When oil crashed, it took everything with it. This is the resource curse at work. I'm skeptical that other economic systems would have not been tempted to make a similar choice.

That said, I am not a Venezuela expert.

That is not an accident. They worked overtime to construct that image.

Schmidt was directly involved in Hillary's campaign and there is a picture circulating of him at one of campaign events wearing a "staff" badge: https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000158-6a12-d435-a9ff-7f5ae... that coupled with the "killing people the right way" is all you need to know what Alphabet stands for and where it is headed.

> There is a huge ethical gap between private arms manufacturing and a non-militarized company with this much reach participating in a non-wartime

I claim that there isn't in the sense that once a company becomes large enough it will start participating in killing people "the right way" as Schmidt put it. That happens regardless if we still want to have that cutesy, colorful, not-evil search company image. Amazon (AWS) is selling billion dollars worth of services to the CIA, I am sure that's not for cat pictures and buying books. Microsoft's hands I am pretty sure are not exactly clean either, etc.
That combined with rent control laws that have been shown to increase rent costs result in much less natural liquidity in the market and therefore higher prices.

But it goes well beyond that. A landlord can own a $4 million dollar shithole but only be collecting $3000 a month from tenants because they've been there for 12 years and the landlord can't increase rent. If they try to sell the building with long term tenants it becomes an intractable problem because there are few ways to force anyone to leave an apartment and tenants know this - it is not uncommon to offer tenants more than $50k to leave an apartment, and it actually doesn't make economic sense for tenants to take less because if they have been there >5 years they are probably saving at least a thousand dollars a month in rent.

So the end result is that a lot of landlords simply have no incentive to fix up a place. Roof is leaking? Too bad. Your landlord might not fix it and sure, you can take it to the courts and win BUT that means you have to leave your apartment until they fix it the issue and any other thing the inspector finds. Which tends to stretch out for years while renters have to find a new place. So renters generally deal will all types of illegal and unsafe housing issues so they don't lose their "good deal" on rent. So both renters and landlords are incentivized to accept shittier and shittier housing while the letter of law for housing inspections gets more precise and costly for owners when things finally get bad enough.

The lifecycle of a house in San Francisco is 20-40 years of disrepair followed by a complete teardown (except the facade so they can still call a "remodel", yes this is a well-known SF red tape workaround) then a new bigger house is put in it's place and sold for top dollar ($3-5 million is the going rate for a nice new rebuild). This is why shacks are still commanding $1-2 million because the land itself (and the facade) is worth it.
The case got dismissed because of that, which is really unfortunate because they found child pornography on 5 of his other devices when they searched his home.

Oh, you are right; I simply overlooked that part of the readme. In my opinion that should have been 8-bit cells mainly because AFAIK simulating 16-bit or 32-bit in 8-bit cells is reasonable [1] but doing the other way without slowing it down too much is highly dependent to the program.

The ideas from this article are really cool, and the design is beautiful. I see these techniques as providing the ability to partially interpret models. While clearly useful to practitioners seeking an intuition for what their models learn, it appears we are still very from the ability to thoroughly audit deep learning computer vision models.

I wonder if in the long run, making models that are both effective and interpretable can be done by first building a black box model, and then interpreting as much as possible it using clever ideas like those from the article. The interpretations of the black box model can inform the design of a relatively simple bespoke model. The bespoke model may never outperform the black box at prediction tasks, but in many applications the ability to perform audits and estimate of uncertainty should be worth it.
I think you're exaggerating. There are definitely many people like tat, but this is not even majority. Many of us just want to live our lives, and can't do much about the situation in SF. No, honestly, what can each of us do? Even if we give some money, it will never solve the problem of homeless people in SF.

As for saving the world... I don't think anyone believes it. A founder must speak in a certain way to get investment and the interest of the press, but at the bottom everyone knows it's basically about making money. Of course it helps if you're working for a startup that has some positive ambitions, it creates good energy and makes work much easier, but that's pretty much secondary.
It's not that we're hypocrites, it's more or less the same in all companies: you need to tell your boss you believe in the company values and all this bs, even though in fact you don't care at all.
