That’s briefly mentioned near the end of the first paragraph:

... solution to this unappealing fate is a novel brain-computer interface similar to the implantable “neural lace” described by the Scottish novelist Iain M. Banks in Look to Windward, part of his “Culture series” books. Along with serving as a rite of passage, it upgrades the human brain to be more competitive against A.I.’s with human-level or higher intelligence.
I do when I work from home. I stay more focused than at my desk for some reason. Although I guess it isn't directly on my lap, typically it's on a thin, firm pillow that's on my lap.
"90% complete" can mean a very wide range of things. If it means having bypassed 9 out of 10 security layers, there's no guarantee it'll ever work. If it means that the system works in the lab and they're adding UI and documentation, then it's reasonable to be confident. I've heard situations both worse and better described as "90% complete".

I would guess that coming from a company selling security solutions to law enforcement, it'd be more like the latter (ie, it basically works and needs polishing).
For all those who are clamoring for autopilot to go back into the lab consider this: I have autopilot, and I use it the way people are instructed to. I consider it a companion to my driving, a backup co-driver that has better reflexes. I am in control, and mentally steer the vehicle with my hands on the wheel with the machine. We are driving the car together and I overrule the machine when we disagree. Often the machine catches things before I am able to react. I am 100% convinced that my family is safer with "us" driving them then just me driving them solo.

What do you say to people like me, who, if you took the feature away, would be forced to reduce their safety? It's easy to call for its removal when you only focus on the subset of people who will have their safety increased by removing it (ie, the people, often through no fault of their own, who come to rely upon it more than it is designed for.) What about everyone else that currently benefits from it? Will you force them to go back to driving "solo" to protect those people?

It's not so simple as "Tesla is reckless by releasing this" -- this is providing real safety to people who are using it the way it is intended. Also, the release of autopilot as-is also makes it possible to accelerate the development of full autonomy, which will save lives that otherwise would be lost to accidents if it were to be created later in time. Any analysis which does not account for this dynamic is missing an important piece of the ethics of removing it.

The main question that is worth asking is if there is more Tesla could do to ensure autopilot is used as a co-driver. The name is a poor choice to start.
Might you need both? From what I've seen, dig deep enough in a particular hole, be it theoretical physics, statements about God, etc. and you get the paradox that two different things imply each other mutually. You can't have one without the concept of none, and you can't have none without the concept of one. See Godel's incompleteness theorem, the particle vs. wave situation, etc.

Are you saying that this concept is mostly absent from the Taoist texts you've read?
If your fingers get "mucky" while using a bidet you're doing something terribly, terribly wrong. The point of a bidet is so your hands don't need to get anywhere near your, uh, "vent". If you're just going to muck out your bung with your fingers, what do you even need a bidet for? You could just do that, and then wash your hands. With a bidet, water under pressure takes care of everything for you.
Could you please explain why will the advance economies never fully outlaw it? As far as I can understand, till bitcoin is a niche miniscule part of the economy, they might not care. But if it starts to become mainstream, I don't see how being developed or undeveloped would make a difference? All governments want to have control over the currency...
>> Again, a lot of human driven car crash victims have done nothing wrong and were victimized pretty much at random.

But all self-driving car victims (will) have done nothing wrong. Whethere they were riding in the car that killed them or not, they were not in control of it, so they 're not responsible for the decision that led to their deaths.

Unless the decision to go for a walk or a cycle, or to ride on a car makes you responsible for dying in a car accident?
There were many different flavors of basic and some were actually quite good. GFA Basic on the Atari ST and BBC Basic on the BBC Micro for instance.
You seem to know a little about what you're talking about but you should really read further before making the kinds of claims you're making. There is lots of literature on how anarchist societies have dealt with crime and there is no question that they are fairer than modern western societies with their gross wealth inequalities, mass incarceration, racism, colonialism, etc.

Right now, in Kurdish Syria (otherwise known as Rojava), there is a society built on principles that resemble anarchism pretty closely. They have very interesting decision-making processes, resource-management, and systems of justice. They also have pretty much no police as it isn't seen as necessary. There are lots of resources to learn about the details, here's one account I think is pretty good:

Hi, looks great! Love the feature of tracking code changes. But how does this work? Does it upload the code to the servers every time I launch a training?
With decentralized and automatic currency exchanges, a large number of cryptocurrencies that you can easily exchange is no problem at all. The more the better :)
Even HN readers are misinterpreting it, and there is nothing to prevent confusion from Tesla side on these marketing pages.

The question of purposefulness is mostly irrelevant. It is their responsibility to avoid ambiguity in this domain because this could be dangerous. They are not doing it => they are putting people in danger. Now a posteriori if somebody manages to sue Tesla after a death a bad injury, maybe the purposefulness will be studied (but it will be hard to decide), but a priori it does not matter much as for the consequences of their in any case mislead attempts (even if it was only for an advertising harmless reason in the mind of the people who wrote it like that in the first place).

To finish, that they are carefully choosing their words to be technically true over and over, yet understood in an other way by most of the people, is at least distasteful. That they are doing it over and over through all existing channel makes it more and more probable that this is even on purpose, of course there is no proof but when we reach a certain point, we can be sufficiently convinced without a formal proof (hell even math proofs are rarely checked formally...)
I completely agree with your interpretation, particularly because in these cases the 90-90 rule would apply:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety-ninety_rule

BUT, IMHO another needed consideration should be about what was (reasonably) expected to be found on the device, and since - one way or the other it was unlocked - what was actually found on the device.

My personal guess is nothing-nothing, some of the often forgotten news about the specific case:

[1] The AppleID was changed after the phone was already in Government custody, thus self-sabotizing some possible recovery ways

[2] The couple went into an extensive and thoroughful destruction of all the other electronic devices, exception made for the (county issued, i.e. "work only") iPhone

[3] An actual statement by an investigator saying that most probably the phone contents (if any) were useless

[4] The DA mentioned a mysterious "lying dormant cyber pathogen" among the reasons why it was vital to obtain access to the iPhone

I made an assumption that these registers/change machines were leased, as well. This is from my background knowing that most chain restaurant POS terminals are leased out.
I wouldn't call it clickbait.. rather accurate summary of a thorough analysis of our current societal forces at play.
Requiring people to identify themselves with verification before they are allowed to communicate seems orwellian to me.

Speaking of which, your papers please.
CoinPM News: Daily 'non-biased' podcast about cryptocurrencies
Hey guys, I started doing a daily crypto podcast and I thought I'd share it with you. It is needless to say your feedback would be most appreciated!

The name of the podcast is CoinPM News and it is available on SoundCloud (https://soundcloud.com/coinpm) and iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/coinpm-news/id1363092415).

- My main motivation was to create something that is NOT biased and is easy to listen to. Each episode is around 5 minutes long and the idea is to check it out it while you commute, wait for your coffee, eat your lunch, check your emails etc. I'm a big BBC R4 fan and I wanted to create something professional focusing on cryptocurrencies.

- The target audience is people who have interest in cryptocurrencies, but don't have time to scroll through ridiculous amounts of speculative stories in Twitter or Reddit.

- I have not yet come up with an exact business plan, but my aim is to keep it sponsor free. I feel like this is the only way to present honest journalism. I work full-time and usually put the podcast together before or after work.

Very soon, a friend of mine will be helping me in producing another episode earlier in the day (as he is based in Australia and I'm in the UK), so hopefully, together we will be able to reach out to more people and spread the word. It feels good and I think something good will come out of it :)

P.S. I know there are many you that are very experienced in the field and I would welcome any suggestions on production, distribution, focus etc.

Best,
P
Probably, but if his face can't tell the difference, it's not a problem for him.
Not the state, but major cities each have several good cloth-diaper-as-a-service (CDAAS?) companies. You pay a subscription fee and exchange dirty diapers for fresh ones every week. Makes the whole process convenient as using disposables.
What's truly interesting about this is your assumption that God is an individual, a single person.

What's more interesting is the comment you're replying to actually describes the super-personal nature of God - what Christians call the Trinity. Writings expounding on the Trinity have filled many volumes of Christian theology - it's something far from being "swept under the rug".
The FBI's chief of its elite hacking unit has a clear conflict of interest in stating what the status of hacking into the phone related to the San Bernadino shooting -- and unless the OIG confirmed the vendor's status at that point forensically, verbal statements to me are meaningless.

Saying that the vendor was "90 percent of the way toward a solution" could mean anything; for example, they had the hack, but were testing it to see if would work for all iPhone models.
Reddit is far worse in reinforcing subconscious self-moderation to adhere to the majority opinion. It's present on Hacker News too, since most people use the downvote as a "I disagree" button.
The article argues that it wasn't so much censorship as poorly-implemented censorship.

For example:

> Internally, Costolo complained that the “abuse economics” were “backward.” It took just seconds to create an account to harass someone, but reporting that abuse required filling out a time-consuming form.

And of course the larger story of a vigilante censor being blocked. Twitter doesn't want outside forces policing it, but that means it has to police itself, which it has failed to do at critical moments.
"My anger and outrage has helped me aid numerous political campaigns and individuals with money, time and emotional support."

I hope your correct in this; I've felt similarly in the past.

As I've gotten older, I've felt more like a lot of what I was seeing as useful action was the fantasy of useful action. That is, I haven't seen a lot of real gains or losses due to my own political actions.

Maybe I just don't give enough money or knock on enough doors.

But as I've gotten older it's felt more and more that this is just engaging in a particular kind of fantasy role playing.

Perhaps it is true that I can disengage with this kinds of political anger because I can look like I can pass as a white cishet male.

Consider, however, that the only folks who can actually make political gains are people that are already in a position of some amount of power and privilege. The basic premise of incremental change is that the kinds of changes that you'd like to see are sustainable via the system you're interacting with.

To take a specific example from my own set of stuff that pisses me off, I believe that the system of policing where I live is systematically racist.

I would never have a problem with people advocating for incremental changes and I've seen people make small gains in those directions.

However, I believe that the complete disarmament of the police for and more or less the total abolition of prisions is the only workable solution.

I wholly understand that this position is not a moderate position and is probably not something many people agree with, and I neither expect other people to see it as reasonable nor want to support that view here.

I bring it up, rather, because there is no incremental change that I can see which will bring about the conditions under the system where I live.

So I've more or less given up on following news on this front: there is nothing that I can do about the fact that the racist Texas "justice" system has incarcerated some lady for 5 years for voter fraud. I'm neither surprised nor do I feel like there is something that I can do to convince Ken Paxton, et al, that they aren't terrible, terrible people. There's just nothing that can be done that is going to correct that kind of problem in the world.

So, while I think you're correct in asserting that there is a certain amount of privilege in ignoring the news, I point out this:

there is a certain amount of intersectionality with a system involved in believing that you can incrementally change that system to operate with justice.
I think its cool. I also think there is a healthy culture of skepticism and mistrust on this message board. Will we be able to learn anything about the results of this raffle?
The Complete Checklist for Building an ABM Foundation
Just want to drop a big thumbs up for making the project open source unlike mine. It will really help developers who are looking for an API and want to host it themselves. I'll try to contribute to your project in the best possible way I can. Cheers.
My point was that a server who constantly drops black diners on the manager is going to get noticed by the manager. He should do his job and manage things.
Your example works with those protocolls already too and I implemented it on my website, here is a example: https://jeena.net/events/11

And you can get all of that machine readable too: http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjeena.net%2Fevents%2...
Thanks @jorgemf. Keep in mind that $745 also includes unlimited usage of our hyper-parameter optimization service.
What you've described is Facebook, and it has its own toxicity.

Auto-moderation is a useful start, but strong community moderation is built on empathy and soft skills, which for the moment is still best handled by people.
It might be possible, but at least for me achieving the same position in a different rotation requires a lot of strength (due to gravity). And I can't poop while flexing half of my muscles.
I've never been on a system where I couldn't swap the keys in UEFI. Does mokutil not work on your system?
> this feature should require hands on the wheel

It does.
Any system with "exceptional"/whatever they want to call it this week access mechanisms inherently reduces the security of the system, even your hypothetical flawless system. This is because attackers rationally go for the weakest link, which becomes whatever policy mechanisms gate access to the panty-sniffer mechanism.

We've seen a constant stream of stories of folks with access to surveillance mechanisms abusing them. Guards being creepy with cameras, NSA analysts stalking lovers, cops stalking lots of people.

And that's just what leaks out to the press.

Any sensible analysis of this sort of thing has to include the inevitability of abuse. If it doesn't include mechanisms for detecting, punishing and alerting the victim, then the priorities are made quite clear, and are a giant middle finger to the notion of personal autonomy for anyone without special legal status.

Enjoy your freedom responsibly, citizen-unit. Or else.

Why we can see total solar eclipses
I like, that the price is so high. That makes it a least seem to be a sustainable business. And when you pay your ML people 10k a month, the $25 is less than the coffee they will drink in the office.
> I mean I don't have a side in this convo. But if you are gonna put up a argument at least make it not sound fanboyish.

> Plenty of laptops with similar ppi (what makes retina...retina) and plenty with good touchpads.

If you're going to put up an argument at least make it sound informed. The best trackpads I've used in any other laptop manufacturer was "acceptable", and that's Microsoft's. Plenty with good touchpads? Not even remotely close.

As for retina displays, plenty of laptops with higher PPI, also plenty of laptops with scaling issues up the ass.
So good content gets upvoted.

I read them and upvote the ones I find interesting.
You can get these from Google directly, or through one of the many accelerators and tech incubators - without providing all this data. As for CrowdFlower credits - I don't see why an aspiring AI company would want to build anything on top of another startup's technology stack, as opposed to building their own core tech.
I haven't compared them (as I haven't used go-bindata), but go.rice has a pretty ergonomic API -- I once took a look at go-bindata, but I much prefer go.rice. go.rice also seems more active in general.
How misleading. The article is about the challenges, and possible diagnostic and repair benefits, of creating electronic circuits that don't trigger the immune system. Not "competing with ai".
Even in production though, you can just have a step on startup which copies built-in resources to a /tmp location and then sendfile's from there.
I don't see the point of this. Why not use nginx which comes with startup scripts and point it to the site's directory that includes the bundle/index files?

If the single binary that just serves static files you're better off with a web server that supports https, rules, vhosts, etc and is battle tested. Not to mention that this binary you created will need startup scripts of some sort depending on the platform.
I have to agree on one point here. Even though I'm quite comfortable with machine tools, both manual and CNC, I'd be terrified to chuck up a laptop in a lathe.
If Nextdoor is any indication, posting your name and verified home address next to your comments still won't stop toxicity.
James VI and I: the king who hunted witches
The bounty is incredibly low.
Cryptocurrencies don't make any sense unless they're decentralized and not controlled by governments. That's where the value is. Bitcoin has value because it cannot be controlled, printed (inflated) or easily confiscated. It gives financial sovereignty and freedom.

But, it's not for everyone. You obviously believe that governments need to control finances. That's fine. I think most people don't want freedom. But there's certainly SOME percentage of the population that really want and value freedom. That's why Bitcoin has and will continue to have value.
I actually thought that's what Rouille (https://github.com/tomaka/rouille) was, which was mentioned in the blog post, but it looks like just uses the macro from that package (to include the strings), not the actual library even, since at the end of the day he opts for rocket (https://rocket.rs/)

[EDIT] - I didn't address your question about go.rice -- from what I know, it doesn't have this kind of thing built in, and I don't know that it even should... "flipping a production switch" is a pretty application-specific endeavor. Also this sounds like something you should be doing with your build tools..., can't include something in the binary at runtime. Maybe I misunderstood what you were asking.

To clarify, the description for go.rice is:

> go.rice is a Go package that makes working with resources such as html,js,css,images,templates, etc very easy. During development go.rice will load required files directly from disk. Upon deployment it is easy to add all resource files to a executable using the rice tool, without changing the source code for your package. go.rice provides several methods to add resources to a binary.
Good point. Google probably argued its just an Open Redirect, whereas its an elevation (in the site ranks) with immediate impact on site owners. Hope Google makes this right for the finder and hands out an elevation payout (it's possible to bend your own rules, I doubt this kind of finding is in their typical payout matrix)
That is how I started with Java. I mean I started 5 years ago but I quickly learned other ways by simply running into intractable problems when you try to work that way. Modern programs end up so complicated that having hundreds of lines of crap in a single function is impossible to reason about and causes you to write bugs into everything.

I think it was working with others and pulling apart code and shrinking it down until it does one thing and one thing alone was the most important learning experience. Dijkstra might be one of the smartest computer scientists ever but I don't think that his assessment of learning that way was correct.
The vendor the FBI contracted with to develop the exploit says they demonstrated it on March 20th. The FBI says they demonstrated on March 20th. In fact, they postponed a court hearing to attend the demonstration, and the following day informed the court. This is also 3 weeks after Comey's testimony to congress.

If you're going to throw out a conspiracy theory, you should have something to back it up.
Set aside a specific time each week to scan the headlines and pick out the most interesting. For HN or most content aggregation sites, if something is particularly important, it'll stay on the first 5-6 pages for more than a week.

Scan the first few pages, pick out 5-10 articles, read for an hour or two. You'll be at least 80% as informed as if you had checked in every day. This also lets you deep dive into any of the ideas if they're particularly interesting, because it's such a small list of mental options.

One of my worst problems is ending up with a notebook page of 40 items that I found interesting. I never go back and learn more about them because I can't really decide what's the most interesting. Cull options ruthlessly until you have a manageable set of options.
Similar to something I read in a Jack Kornfield book the other day, about a Zen tradition called "just sitting" where you dispense with any goals or concepts of enlightenment and, well, just sit. Presumably it gets you somewhere...or nowhere :)
Nobody's arguing that they're identical processes. My point is about the _labeling_ differences. Distilled water is often sold as deionized water in various parts of the world.
