Sure, but I agree with (what I think is) TaylorGood's point that most people don't care about the Academy and it's brand.
How so? They don't sell the model itself, they sell the 'tickets' to allow you to take a picture of it. That is not DRM.
Nice, and apparently you're not the only one:

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

"The bus factor is a measurement of the risk resulting from information and capabilities not being shared among team members, from the phrase 'in case they get hit by a bus'. It is also known as the lottery factor, ..."
There is no sharp line, just as there is no sharp line for "intelligence". Lot of software can indeed be classified as (very weak) AI, because it makes decisions in service of a goal.

Because there is no sharp line, where to draw the line depends on context, and the point being made. I have found that "AI" is a good term to apply when it is more useful to take the intentional stance[+] to explain an artificial system's behavior than to trace the actual low-level implementation.

At the very lowest end I could include some closed-loop control as AI (a simple proportional controller wouldn't count, a PID might). The more complex the model it has of the environment, and it's own effect on the environment, the more useful it is to call it an AI.

A slightly more complex example are computer games, whose simple AIs are generally readily explainable from their code. In an RTS game with good AI, it's not useful to look at how computer opponents (or my own units) do pathing, only where they're trying to go, and the obstacles they'll encounter.

ABS is lower than I would normally consider AI to be a useful descriptor because of how little information processing occurs (basically just wheel speed and brake pedal trajectory). In this context it's worth not excluding precisely to emphasize that AI is not just machine learning, but just about anything that autonomously makes intelligent decisions in response to changing environments.

I'm hoping this doesn't turn out like Appcelerator and Titanium/hyperloop. There was a lot of buildup, and, from my perspective, it sort of went nowhere, and it seemed Appcelerator just focused on enterprise-only vs what seemed like a more indie dev community to start with. I may have been catching the tail end of things around 2014/2015. I went to a Titanium conference, expected a bit more, but was impressed with the hyperloop demos, then... everything seemed to just... fizzle out?

I've liked ionic for a while now, and used it for a few projects. I've seen reference to a desktop version of 'creator', which... doesn't seem in focus now compared to the capacitor announcement (which I'd heard about a bit before). Not sure where the earlier Stencil announcements fit in with Capacitor either. :/

Stephen Glass Couldn't Get Away with It Today
Have you noticed that some movies are only available at AMC theaters, or Cinemark, or Cineworld theaters?

Lockdown on content (from distributors to theaters) has been around a long time, this is nothing new.

True independent theaters play smaller, independent/art-house movies because they aren't allowed to play big-production movies without signing up for exclusive access.

Licensing and distribution is a big mess that keeps control and profits in the studio. It's also why you rarely see international movies outside their country of origin.

The sooner the industry dies and gets rebuilt, the better.
The linked Wikipedia article considers the substance that organs rest on, such as the pericardium, to be part of the fascia system. Though the muscle fascia and organ fascia distinction is worth keeping in mind, the article implies that tubes have been found in both.

Also, I think whether these tubes are part of lymphic system is speculation at this point. The main thing is that they havne't considered in anatomy because they're destroyed by embalming.
Actually, you're not getting it. Copyright means I can't copy your work. If I arrive independently at the same thing, then I didn't copy your work and therefore didn't violate your copyright.

If I take your picture of a building and copy that's a copyright violation.

If I take a picture of a building from the exact same angle you did, that's not a copyright violation.
and the windowing regulations require 3 years before a movie can go from cinema to streaming

I like the effort to categorize previous writings. I primarily listen to the podcast and think Ben has some really great insights and theories that he's clearly put a lot of thought into (the perennial favorite: aggregation theory), but are sufficiently complicated that they can't be re-explained every time they are mentioned. Making it easier to look back into the archives seems like a good way to address this problem.

New logo looks really nice, too!
Exactly my thoughts!
Why does the UK authority think it is relevant here? Is the UK going to IP ban Facebook services from being used in the UK? Ultimately, populism wins, if the people want Facebook, they will have it. The UK government is astonished because it still thinks it matters and yet it does not.
Nice to see SoftBank on that page, probably means SoC makers can simply get the IP from them when getting other parts like an ARM core etc. Makes it a whole lot easier to just get a virtual SIM in your device.
What you could do- is create a user ring, in which you exchange identitys between users, trusting one another- that way for example - a family would blur to one huge identity for the advertisers, loosing all distinctivness.
The longstanding root of the problem is that we're relying on software that is under the control of an adversarial party, especially for creating a UI. This necessarily means that incentives are misaligned, and we are left as an unaccompanied homo sapien to be outwitted by the machine in front of us that we may have paid for, but that does not work for us.

It will be interesting to see where the GDPR goes, especially with regards to surveillance companies we don't directly interact with. But as long as we continue to do things like utilize a specific retailer's software for researching and planning purchases, the incentives are for that retailer to design that software to push us into funneling as much business (and extraneous personal data!) as possible to themselves.
This is something that has been going on for centuries. With tempo, notes, and melodies you have quite of variety of way to encrypt a message. I had a friend who would do this for fun. But said that only the trained ear could pick up on his messages. Also he could only squeeze in a limited amount of information before it became obvious what he was doing. Still it was fun to watch him write the music.

I double checked, you are correct:

16 * (4.5 * 150 * 60) / 1M = $0.648/hr

If you multiply by the number of 50ms in one second (20), you do get $9.5 - $12.96

> it's pointless for them to show their custom prompt if you've already refused access... So you can probably make the repeated prompts disappear

I wonder if they actually catch this case, or just say "if no access, show prompt"? It wouldn't shock me to find out that many apps are so ill-designed that refusing at the iOS screen simply creates a permanent popup with no actual use.
Who is? Amazon?

No, I was talking about Microsoft only. Sorry if that was unclear.
yes, we will be open-sourcing the hardware, though not in quite the same way as with the OT-One. All the OT-One parts are off the shelf, 3D printed, or laser-cut, so putting all the files on github makes a lot of sense. But the OT-2 is a lot of custom parts injection molded / extruded / CNC'd by our production team in Shenzhen, and it is a lot harder to both share those designs on our end, and to make anything out of them as a hacker. So we'll be releasing a lot of high fidelity CAD files of the full assembly, as well as deeper dive documentation like this whitepaper on our new pipette designs: https://s3.amazonaws.com/opentrons-landing-img/pipettes/OT-2...

They cater to the same need, which is computing. I once heard that majority of this planet only browses Internet using a smartphone - if that's the case, Microsoft lost.
iWork files. There's been at least two completely different (and completely undocumented) formats so far, with not even a proprietary library for accessing them.

I really wish I could provide integration with Numbers.app, but as a one-man shop I can't afford to get distracted with maintaining a reverse-engineered file format for one use case.
And then they could directly change their acceptance criteria and drop degree programs that don't match students with decent jobs. I don't say good jobs, just decent ones where they could get by not having to kill themselves and still afford the loans.
I think they are making the argument that just as banning drugs doesnt prevent kids from accessing then banning guns wouldnt prevent access to guns.
Google Keep. We have been asking them for years, and Google hasnt done anything.

Because pay discrimination is actually skill discrimination, but we're all ideologues and have to ignore information to keep our fragile narratives intact.

Edit:

It's my understanding the wage gap has been thoroughly debunked. It's core premise relies on a univariate analysis of lifetime earnings that has no real analytical value. Although, in some instances, pay discrimination may still exist. It's isolated, and completely illegal.

A bit of background: I wanted to do some interesting stuff with actors interacting with some centralized arch - I believed (and still do) that some smarts around actors could be used for some interesting hard real-time applications. I decided that WebRTC data channels might be the best fit (as WebSockets are above TCP). The idea was to layer a server model over P2P (potentially branching out to hybrid for accessing actors in other clients directly).

You either have to use a subset of Google's blessed languages (C/++ or Java according to a quick search I did today) for the backend, or you're stuck in serverless land. Building the native library requires a 10GB download and many steps. Implementing WebRTC is no small effort and not appropriate for quick weekend experiments.

It's fantastic tech, but there is a serious lack of library support.
I actually have a profile.d entry that runs w on login any time I open a shell on any machine in my infrastructure.
Stratechery is one of those blogs I've stumbled over from time to time and I have the nagging feeling it should be at least mildly interesting, but I can't attune myself.

I think it's mostly the personal style of people and I'm much more inclined to read the same people for years even if they totally switch topics, over reading things about a certain topic.
Alex Karp (CEO of Palantir) was aligned with the Clintons and had discussions about working with the Clinton campaign:

The difference is that other countries don't combine their businesses with their government, thus creating an unholy alliance where the government can manipulate the value of their currency and empower their businesses to out compete on the global markets unfairly.
Also, it's not being made to be serviceable.

yeah, i don't understand why the media seems to hate FB so much now? I know they're still mad about the trump election, but seriously, like get over it.

FB has had advertisers for 10 years now, and they've always used your info for targeting, nothing has changed.

It's pretty scary how all these media centers just seem to jump on the same bandwagon.
I wasn't clear, all the cops were part of the same police group, working undercover to foil any racist/anti-muslim attack.

I'm really excited about the Concepts page. Business school is often denigrated within tech, but past the startup stage, B-school strategies become increasingly important. Ben does a great job taking these concepts (eg aggregation theory), and applying them to tech industry, in a way that is interesting for folks who are more interested in understanding Apple than theories in abstract.

Excited to read through these Concepts!
In that vein, I was asked about implementing n-way merge of logfiles in an interview once. The key insight/recollection they wanted was: use a heap to implement a priority queue. Not sure it was a great question as jumping to employ a data structure like that might suggest premature optimization.
If Palantir had staff donating their expertise to CA free of charge then it could also be considered an unreported donation in kind, and therefore a violation for the FEC to investigate.
I will look up the complaints about Tor.

The victim stopped moving ... right in the path of the car, which never braked. It needs to be a lot smarter if it doesn't even understand that it should break when there's a large unidentified object, the size of a person plus something else, right in the lane it's traveling in.

We won't know yet exactly what happened, though hopefully the NTSB is getting full access to all sensor data from the car. It could be a huge combination failure of multiple different things. It sounds like it's nowhere safe enough to be driving autonomously on public roads though.
> People know that (facebook|their partner) is abusing them (privacy-wise|physically) and they choose to continue the relationship.

Really bad comparison there.
So how do you explain the ability for a man to delay orgasm as long as desired through tantric sex? The technique is to draw energy upwards from the genitals so as not to reach an energetic "critical mass" and trigger the "usual reflex".

However if you were to mean that energy flows are controlled by the mind, then you'd be bang on. "Where the mind goes, the chi flows" as they say.

The US had horrible human rights records in the early 1900s, but this was fixed with prosperity and a population that demanded their government protect them.

on that note, i read a book on blizzard's history "stay awhile and listen" that was not worth it. maybe it was because i read it right after masters of doom, but it felt like they were afraid to say anything negative, and as a result it's boring and also very hard to learn from whatever failures and successes they had.
Agree, this is not controlling for the types of jobs that people are doing! Also if Lyft only spent $100K on it, they clearly didn’t find much of an issue. This is just a feel good story for marketing purposes. #trash

I don't understand why more people don't understand this. Each "post" is a record with a field called "deleted". You can make that field True. You can't remove that record.

Thank you! Would love to work with you! We are already shipping OT-2 robots, and right now with the amount of demand we have there is a 6 week lead time (though it is increasing fast).

The 96-well head wont be an addition to this robot because it would make it too top heavy and risk tipping it over -- best we can fit on this guy is the 8-channel pipette already available. We'll start considering things like a 96-well head when we decide to move up-market and start making bigger robots, but for now we are very happy to be making lab robots accessible to labs with smaller budgets that today have to do all their pipetting by hand.
I wish they had some beautiful voices, not some of the most generic-sounding men and women.

Hi, I'm one of the team at Binkies3D over in Holland. We just launched Hotspot 3D today. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. :)

Whilst there are websites that let you compare the specs of phones, we wanted to compare the shape and size. There are currently 19 phones on Hotspot 3D, but we actually have the models for many more. We just chose the most popular ones for now.

It's especially difficult to tell the difference between 'plus' models without a physical reference, so that is where this idea came from.

The phones themselves are around 1.5MB each and are rendered using our own custom engine in webGL. The java-script itself is only 40kb, and works on mobile as well.

Thanks for taking a look, and I would love to hear any feedback or comments you have.

For me at least, it was never a joke...

I don't think tech companies are literally run by three-letter agencies, but after Yahoo and Lavabit (showing two very different reactions to surveillance requests), it's become pretty clear that any large US-based company is at minimum a backup or validation source for surveillance. The standing questions seem to be "do they accept non-warrant surveillance?" and "do they allow bulk surveillance?". If anyone still thinks they don't comply with targeted surveillance, I'd be shocked.
