I think thats basically what Facebook is at the moment, a filter/curation bubble - only jacked up to 1000. What would be IMO useful and more powerful is being able to switch bubbles. Google at the moment has a "no personalization", which is better than only being allowed to access your perspective bubble, but you probably only click on your bubble.

The point should be to slowly break down the bubbles, make them less of an echo chamber, and/or have them merge at points where they can. To anthropomorphize the "perspective" bubbles, we are in the dark ages, where people really don't travel very far from where they are, and they don't even speak the same language from their neighbors a short ways away. Allowing a translator and free exploration of other bubbles could allow for more alliances - the zero sum troll-only interaction is something nearly everyone see's is not helpful.
Then you should have forward/backward error correction in RTP so you can completely ignore the packet drop/delay.
(i'm past the time in which I can edit my original post)

I remembered incorrectly, that PiMoroni kit does not include the 3 servo motors, you need to buy those separately along with the RPi camera module. Luckily the servos required are super common little blue servos that are all over eBay and such for dirt cheap.
They just think the ninth circuit is wrong.
They are reasonably well informed, they just disagree.

People very often make the mistake of assuming two people with the same data will form the same opinion, and that where people disagree, it must be due to not understanding the data/etc.

In my experience, this is very wrong :)
Well, except they read the mail and, because it only mentioned the primary domain which their G Suite was anchored to that they had let lapse, and not the current domain which was subordinate to the old one, they decided to ignore it and deal with it “later” because they are a “busy startup” who apparently doesn't have time to deal with the fallout of switching business names and domains.
I'm wondering why they are using an arm with a gripper, etc. Quit emulating how a human would do it, and make a machine for laying bricks.

I'm thinking something like a robot with treads, that can move in a straight line (or maybe curves), perhaps at the end of a long boom with a conveyor on it that moves bricks from a central source.

It basically grabs a brick off the end, squirts some mortar down, and lays the brick. Make the bricks shaped in a special way so they interlock better and need less mortar at the edges (they already have bricks something like this; they almost look like lego). Then it rolls to the next brick position.

Once it gets to a certain point, it "crawls up" to the next level, perhaps by gripping the level below with the treads (the mortar will probably need to be some kind of "ultra-fast setting" stuff; possibly more like epoxy than mortar), and lays the next layer, being guided by the last.

I guess I'm just saying this particular brick laying robot looks like it was designed by an engineer who, back at the beginning of heavier-than-air flight, thought an airplane needed to flap its wings to get off the ground...

My takeaway was that algorithmic solutions alone will never be enough since they operate at the core on user intent.

Males searching for “FOOBAR girls” have, on average, different intent than women. If they represent the majority of searches, algorithms will naturally weigh the results they click more highly.

Hyper personalization is seen as an answer, but comes with the downside of a reinforcing bubble and drift to extremes. Human intervention and editing are only a partial solution, bringing up further questions about censorship and which ideology is correct.

No easy answers to all of this.
Apple's ULA – Yes, they track you unless you opt out

Because he's a fugitive that they are sheltering. They've taken responsibility for him.
Yeah, the Bing results are much better IMO, I wonder if MS solved this problem?
Google is absolutely at fault here. They are much more involved in tweaking search results than they admit.

They are especially slanted on an ideological basis. Try searching "American inventors" - nearly all the people listed are African Americans.

I doubt all of this is inadvertent, and its definitely dangerous, given the power of Google. Today they are undoubtedly influenced by "left-wing" ideology, but what about tomorrow?
Honestly, couldn't they just adapt WEBP for it? It's basically just an RIFF container with a VP8 key frame. Then again, it's WebP, and there's no need to bloat that thing anymore.

Edit: Nevermind, I see. Going by the document, it's meant to be an exact mirror to HEIF, but for AV1. Some interesting features too.
> And this guy is sitting around defending them?

If you'd read the post you would have known that he is not defending Cambridge Analytica. Part of what he is saying is that CA is not anywhere nearly as good as to help Donald Trump's election campaign. I think the author also implies that they don't have data that isn't already available to a lot of people in the black market for Facebook data, and their models aren't very good.
My company sponsored some enhancements to this project several years ago and I blogged about it back then (without much interest).

I still think it's a great effort but as others have pointed out here it shouldn't be your only source of entropy and I'd feel a lot better about it if it were properly reviewed/hammered on.

Still, it's really cool to randomly see the project front page on HN years later!
This reads like a comedy now, the flow of logic faultless, reminding us how fleeting these technologies are along with the anxieties we have about them taking over the world.
> Shall we require Google to be ever vigilant about the meaning of words in use at various times by the various communities of the world, and to entrust them with the responsibility for determining the innocence or guiltiness of words or phrases for all mankind?

Google aims to 'organize the worlds information', how it does that concerns all of us so yes, this makes them responsible with determining whether a certain set of words has an innocent or negative interpretation.

It's not the world I want to live in but I live in it nonetheless. That Google should not have this power to begin with is obvious but here we are.

> If we shall require such effort of Google, ought we not elevate Google to the role of judge over other matters of humankind given their good stewardship over matters of innocence and guilt?

Definitely not, why make things even worse? They already have too much power we will not make things better by compounding the problem.

> Taken to the limit the argument advocates the establishment of an echo chamber to wrap tightly around each one's subjective interpretation of their reality. Isn't this the exact opposite of what we should be trying to achieve?

It is, but again, the filter bubble is real and the more customized Google search results are for an individual the worse this gets.

> Have we not had enough of this Brave New World?

I do, and so does the author, but clearly you are either missing the point or you have not had enough yet.
Tesla had released the roadster before the Model S to prove they can build it. If you are going in cold your chance of success are close to nil.

They created Tor, and have been funding it from the start. This is not news.

That was my point.

How did they hide it? It was their business model. The one they copied from google.

Are you saying that facebook forced the grandparents to use facebook?

I'm not a fan of either facebook or Apple. My dislike of apple goes back. But I taken aback by the anti-fb posturing justaposed by the pro-google and pro-apple lobby here.

I'm not saying that facebook is good. I'm saying apple isn't good either.

It's so striking how an innocuous comment in every anti-fb thread is met with downvotes and attacks.

I agree with you. Facebook is terrible. That's why I don't use it and never have. But I also don't use apple products because apple is terrible. Is that okay?

> That GUI is more efficient because it limits you to navigation commands

While indeed limited, it’s not limited just to navigation. Here’s a GUI that appears when I press Alt+F7 in a GUI file manager: http://const.me/tmp/tc-find-gui.png

It exposes combined functionality of many Linux shell utilities: find, grep, lsattr, xargs, fdupes, iconv, mountavfs/fusermount, etc.

For example I click “{Alt}+(F7 r t) test {enter}” to find all files containing “test” in all files and subdirectories, including content of archives. That’s 9 key presses. Can you do equally efficient in a command line shell?

Not only it saves key presses, its also less stuff to remember and therefore much easier to use. I only need to remember Alt+F7, the rest is obvious because labels, and by convention, underlined letters in them mark {Alt}+{Letter} shortcuts. You don’t even need to use keyboard, mouse is even more accessible (but not touchscreens, for them entirely different GUI is required).
How ... convenient all of Wikileaks were damaging to the government of the USA and somehow never to the government of Russia. And, of course, Mr Assange had his show on RT (Russia Today). No way he is a Russian agent. No way.

These programs for NASA are just as much a job creation program as it is a mission.

Thanks for the info. I was told "We currently provide custom hotwords only in our enterprise offer." so I just equated that to a premium version. Looking forward to seeing the simple device-only trained words. I have a local-only setup so cloud connections of any kind are deal-breakers for my personal use case.
Where can I read about the internals that make this work? For example, how does the scheduler work? Does it still compute a tree for an old setstate or does it unschedule existing computations when a new high priority setstate ones in?

Update:

I took a look at their work on fibers. It looks like they are manually deciding on what is or is not enough computation to perform in a fiber. This is fine, but it will require some careful attention by the react team.

It would be neat if they could use web workers for some of this.
I think astrology only posits that human behavior is somehow correlated with the positions of the various heavenly bodies. This could be via an intermediate correlation with the weather, etc.
If you are running over UDP, that is so that packets get dropped while preserving the overall "stream". That is actually the purpose for the design of RTP over UDP.
They've removed it.
I thought it'd be worthwhile to see how DuckDuckGo handles things since it's ostensibly the search engine without personalization. And it has a different scope and expectations from Google. One thing that comes to mind is how it dealt with the "did the holocaust happen"-type problems by hard coding the instant answers [a], something which Google doesn't admit to doing outright, and wouldn't be scalable anyway.

DDG's results for "black girls" is pretty different from Google present-day, though definitely a lot cleaner compared to what the author saw in 2009:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=black+girls&t=hb&ia=web

(sidenote: it's not clear if the author disabled SafeSearch in her 2009 search or not. SafeSearch was definitely part of Google by then, and I can't imagine "sugaryblackpussy.com" getting past that filter. If you turn DDG's Safe Search to "Moderate" -- "Off" returns the same results as "Strict" -- you will get a lot of very NSFW results. I guess this sidenote raises a new set of issues about the author's methodology but will ignore it for the sake of brevity here.)

The first result is an article titled "Black Girls Only" in Ebony magazine [0]. Which isn't a bad article (or publication). Maybe people would object that the first result is actually about sexualizing black women (albeit positively). The 2nd result is a lot less promising: "Hot Black Girls (45 pics)" at acidcow.com, which has a higher Alexa ranking [1] than Ebony.com (22K vs 63K), but basically looks to be a clunky imageboard. blackgirlscode.com is #6, followed by blackgirlsrun.com (a running club). The rest of the top results are black girl image sites (photobucket, a Facebook group for Big Beautiful Black Girls). The most notable difference between DDG and Google Results, besides what's #1, is that Google results have a lot more news articles in which "black girls" are in the headline (via NPR, nytimes, and theroot). DDG is a lot more sporadic in comparison

DDG for "white girls" is not terribly better in terms of being female-friendly:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=white+girls

The first result is to the Amazon listing of a book titled "White Girls", by a well regarded New Yorker critic [2]. But the #2 result goes to urbandictionary.com, and #3 hilariously goes to the Wayans Brothers' classic, "White Chicks". There's a bunch of results relating to "White Girl", the mediocre 2016 film (Wikipedia, rogerebert.com, rottentomatoes.com, etc). And then a bunch of results about white females with men of other races.

It is a weird deficiency, finding (free or not)tetris without some weird social integration or online play etc.

I guess emulators fall into the same grey market spot.
> This seems like a bad idea to me, especially in the context of a discussion about how to reduce the political/social influence of Google.

It seems to me that there's an enormous contingent of people who wants to yell about the influence of Google and Facebook and then yell even louder about how they're not actively intervening to skew content towards their political preferences (ie increase their influence massively). This split-personality approach is baffling to me.
I don't care what your political opinions are on Assange. This is one of the biggest human rights violations of modern times. Hasn't been charged with crimes, yet has been held imprisoned in the Ecuadorian embassy for 8 years. Now they're trying solitary confinement.

This is what happens when you expose the elite and expose the criminals.
The Constitution prohibits that even by Constitutional Amendment (seriously, the one thing an Amendment cannot do is mess with representation in the Senate), though it doesn't prohibit stripping the Senate of all of its functions and giving them to some new body.
Yeah wow what a horrible website...
Diaspora has been around for a while; I remember joining about 6-7 years ago, but it suffered from the problem all new social networking sites suffer from -- nobody I knew or wanted to follow was there, so I abandoned it.

I've since come to the conclusion that I'm not really a social networking type of person.
I'm not worked up.

You posted anecdata and then followed it with a sweeping conclusion rather than stating "in this specific case, they would not delete it."

I rebutted that with my own anecdata and assertions that your sweeping statements are not accurate.

Like so many people here, I'm pretty pedantic. This is a problem space that interests me.

Also, I frown on character assassination justified by "It's just anecdata, man! Don't get so worked up."

I'm weird like that.
What should you be using, then, if your development workflow outputs container-images, and you want to deploy them to your own hardware with remote orchestration + configuration management (and you consider Docker Swarm dead-in-the-water)?

That is: what is the “run your own thing-that-is-slightly-lower-level-than-Heroku on a fixed pool of local hardware resources” solution in 2018?
Considering there are already places where one can learn hands-on the operation of large heavy equipment - your idea doesn't sound all that far-fetched, and might actually be profitable.
How is that different from what you're doing, cherry-picking two examples that support your point to distract from the overall argument?

In fact, the article is much more supportive of its claims, because it's an excerpt from a book that cites peer-reviewed (I believe) research. The point is that there's a trend, not that some search results are weird.
She clearly states this is what happened in 2009.

> Similarly, Google might reasonably infer that if someone is searching for their own race, sexuality, or religion, they're probably more interested in information or support groups than porn. Not that both can't be served as results... just... priorities of what people are looking for.

Don't they already do this for porn? I thought that feature was in place years ago. It's even a minor Internet joke that Bing is only good for porn (since they're more lax about letting porn into their results).
I really do wish NASA had a focus. The 60s showed the power of NASA given a clear goal and direction, but now a days they feel like they're operating a mile wide and an inch deep.

Probes are great, but I think many overestimate the amount of information they can genuinely provide. Even on Mars where we have had multiple rovers on the surface, there are still ongoing debates about things such as whether the streaks on the planet's surface are water, which NASA made a large announcement of, or indeed just sand which is where the latest interpretation stands. And that's for a very peaceful and close planet (in comparison to Uranus or Neptune) that we ostensibly have a great understanding of.

I don't really care what their goal would be, as long as it would be a goal that they could work towards - a base on the moon, a base on mars, expanding the ISS, or anything - preferably with a human element as that's what attracts people to space, and thus gets the money to make these missions become reality. But these probes are not really advancing society.

And here I would make an exception for things like the Kepler missions. Those were a directed mission with a specific, valuable, and new purpose that could (and did) provide information that substantially advanced society. Let's go shoot some probes off around Uranus and Neptune and grab some pics and atmospheric readings is better than nothing but it feels like spending funding for the sake of spending funding.
It's almost like the UI designer took it as a personal challenge to see how horrible they could make the experience.

Jupiter is pulling on your body right now (a little bit). You would experience the same amount of pull from a cow standing half a meter away (since it is much closer, but much less massive).
Isn‘t this precisely why safe search was invented? I find the „unprofessional hairstyle“ example much harder - you‘d have to first classify all pictures according to minority groups, determine the mix of minority group mix located in the search locale of the user, decide whether the mix should be local, regional, national or international in this case, and then correct the bias in the results accordingly. Seems quite heavy handed and I‘m not sure the results will always please those who seek more social justice. Is Google already doing such a thing now?

If you want a middle ground between hand-written shell scripts and full-blown Kubernetes, we use Hashicorp's Nomad[0] on top of CoreOS at $dayjob and are quite happy with it.

Similar use case - self-hosted VMs, for low-traffic, internal tools, and no need for autoscaling.

I can't speak to how well it integrates with Gitlab's Auto DevOps, but Nomad integrates very well with Terraform[1] and I'd be surprised if there wasn't a way to plug Terraform into Gitlab's process.

I feel like that's a remarkably pessimistic view of the world. I don't think optimism necessitates "filtering the world out," I think one can be optimistic about the future while being aware of actual problems.

This viewpoint has served me with a perfect success rate in all of my interpersonal reactions, including relatively combative ones (handing a beer can a drunk has thrown on the street back to him and asking if he could throw it away next time, random example).

Are there any specific example of things you think are incompatible with optimism without horse blinders?
Lawd Jesus! Thank you for posting on this topic... all I have to add is ditto brother. I'm just here to support and defend you from what will no doubt be a wave of "you are stupid not krita" knee jerk reactions.

You ARE NOT the stupid one. The Krita UI/UX is stupid.

Even the simplest of tasks becomes a complete hassle. I want to love Krita too, BELIEVE ME I WANT TO GET RID OF ADOBE, but not at the cost of adding hours to my workflow.
