I know what they are, why don't you describe it to include all types. I clearly highlighted both types in my other reply to you.

A 'shadow profile' in any system is profile information attained about a user through indirect means like through some friend permission or contact list pull. Are there different types of 'shadow profiles', yes. Is Facebook still doing it? Yes. Can app developers still build them via the API? No not as of OpenGraph v2.

The non public information they build on you like call logs to later match up to real people is bad but you can't just go grab all that data from Facebook like CA did in the past before. Facebook actively doesn't want other entities having that data as it runs their entire ad platform and is their gold mine.

Here is a source since you are arguing semantics about 'shadow' profiles/users:

> So what is a Facebook shadow profile, and where does yours lurk? [1]

> A Facebook shadow profile is a file that Facebook keeps on you containing data it pulls up from looking at the information that a user’s friends voluntarily provide. [1]

> You’re not supposed to see it, or even know it exists. This collection of information can include phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and other pertinent data about a user that they don’t necessarily put on their public profile. Even if you never gave Facebook your second email address or your home phone number, they may still have it on file, since anyone who uses the “Find My Friends” feature allows Facebook to scan their contacts. So if your friend has your contact info on her phone and uses that feature, Facebook can match your name to that information and add it to your file. [1]

Ask HN: Where does Neural Networks fall short?
Hiya!

I have a background in cognitive science which studies the mind. ANN and DNN are probably the hottest topics within ML that are suppose to model the mind.

One mission is to classify images. Since I am not well read on the matter I was simply curious in what aspects does todays models fall short in this topic?

Question:
Can a todays state of art neural network models seperate a red apple from a green one from having trained on lets say 1000 images of red and 0-1 green apples?

I know that one of the downsides with current models is that they demand a lot of data which our minds does not. If someone showed me 1000 different images of red apples, it would be enough to that that there exists green one, partly because I have a perception of what green is and can apply it. However, if I didn't know the color green, it would be sufficient to show me a image of green or a green apple to learn that fact.

Yes Liquibase is very flexible in how you can author changesets; it's certainly nice too that you can format it in XML, YAML, JSON, or SQL. All that said, what makes you say you prefer Liquibase to Flyway?
I used to copy and paste then I invested time and effort into writing some sublime snippets for components, tests, and such. It was probably the best time saving investment I have ever made in basically anything.
Wikipedia article [1] mentions: "It is distributed as free and open-source software under a mix of software licenses, including BSD 3 clause, MIT, and Apache 2.0."

Please also check Zircon's kernel license [2]. The PATENTS thing doesn't look though.

Or did you meant that it doesn't have a GNU license with a clause that forces others to distribute the source?

Probably it doesn't matter that much to them as by being the developers of the software they can make changes in their software and just not share it.

Anyway, I'm not happy with more Googlification and them having the "expertise monopoly" in yet another piece of tech.

Things like ChromeOS and Chromecast shows that they're not willing to create an open OS.

I do have a problem with some of their marketing material - which describes the car as having "Fully Self-Driving Capability." No, the Model S doesn't have the capability to drive itself fully right now, and it's unethical to lead consumers to believe it does.

But in my view, the name "autopilot" itself describes a device for pilots, providing a very similar level of partial assistance to Tesla's current feature. It is accurate. The problem arises when it's sold beyond its traditional meaning.
The system shown in that video is making autonomous turns and doing other things that the in-the-hands-of-consumers autopilot definitely can't do.
If the usage is so subjective, I can't even understand why its allowed. You seem to be saying its no better than a two year old driving. You create a situation in which its "ok" for a two year old to drive? We have laws that state no 2yo's are allowed to be behind the wheel. Why is this 2yo allowed at all?

Open source has been and continues to be rife with social interactions that are bad for individual contributors and for the project as a whole.

YAS! 100% behind things like this. There is no reason to expect employees to perform their normal jobs outside of normal work hours. If you want them working, pay them overtime.

I spend a lot more time thinking than I do typing. The amount of typing is especially reduced when debugging rather than writing new code. In fact, quite a lot of my code starts on paper. When I'm ready to type the code out, it's already "written", I just have to transcribe it.
I'm curious about one specific part of TFA, namely "Workers who are on call 24 hours a day get to disconnect only on their days off and vacations."

I know tech workers are already in an "interesting" position with mostly unpaid-overtime being the expectation. I don't however understand where the legality of that classification breaks down, and whether we would stand to benefit from the above, or if we should expect more employees to be simply reclassified. (On a broader tangent, with the various minimum wage and worker protection bumps certain states have taken over the last few years, I'd be very curious if anyone came across a good post-mortem of how those actually panned out with respect to employment rates and %s of employees in various classes; I know it's pretty well accepted that we've seen a significant growth in contracting/"gig" work (also exempt from protections per TFA) but I've been wanting for an evaluation as to the level of correlation with micro-events as opposed to broad trends of cost-cutting.)

The main radioactive waste from rare earth mining is indeed Thorium. It is not a pretty easy to handle material. Check out https://projects.newyorker.com/story/radioactive-nyc/ to learn how Thorium from rare earth refining a century ago made NYC into a radioactive waste site.

Thorium is not responsibly managed in landfills.

LFTR's have never "gotten off the ground". Even if they achieved some extraordinary combination of breakthroughs over the next 10 years, we wouldn't come close to using all the available Thorium that exists near the REE we have. As a fertile (but not fissile) element, Thorium demand will be inextricably linked to Uranium supply, even for LFTR.
Just a nitpick: Computers were already an integral part of daily life in 2008, and I'd argue as far back as the 80s or even 70s. It's just that the public didn't realize it.

I recognize that Linux and especially GNU are bloated. However the Linux LOC overtime chart is useless at demonstrating it. AFAIK size increase of Linux is mainly caused by drivers. Device support is overall the most important thing OS offers. And it's hard to be small and elegant while supporting everything under the sun, which Linux can't even really achieve. One could say something about epoll instead of kqueue, ALSA instead of OSS or other similar cases. But the size itself doesn't say much.

I agree that there is much to be explored yet in OS design. However it needs deep pockets to actually support wide array of hardware. Or a long time.

I cheer for Toybox and Oil shell regarding the GNU userland.

When I see all the openat(2) and friends family of functions or chmod/fchmod, chdir/fchdir, barbaz/fbarbaz I'm thinking that it all needs a bit of a clean up. Some batching system call would be appreciated as after Meltdown syscalls are more expensive.

I personally like and keep my fingers crossed for DragonflyBSD. They are doing things that are innovative while keeping conservative core for the lack of better words. But at the same time DragonflyBSD has minuscule hardware support comparing to Linux.

Not to say that they're by any means perfect, but I think what you've pointed out might help explain why many Americans i grew up around see the Chinese government as some sinister and inscrutable entity that is out to silently crush everyone. Also, you don't need to make up fake examples when you can look up anything in the past year about how they're making big strides towards reversing their smog problems and how that's somehow an attack on American industry. Even trump has made these claims ( https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/uDFmIDPzCo4znxgzKlT0_jgv4C... )
~20 years or so ago, the warning sirens in the small town I grew up in could be easily turned on/off by simply dialing a phone number and issuing the correct DTMF tones. I'd like to think they have a more secure mechanism nowadays but I would be quite surprised if they actually did.

>t's a tool to help attentive drivers avoid accidents that might have otherwise occurred.

This needs far more discussion. I just don't buy it. I don't believe that you can have a car engaged in auto-drive mode and remain attentive. I think our psychology won't allow it. When driving, I find that I must be engaged and on long trips I don't even enable cruise control because taking the accelerator input away from me is enough to cause my mind to wander. If I'm not in control of the accelerator and steering while simultaneously focused on threats including friendly officers attempting to remind me of the speed limit I space out fairly quickly. In observing how others drive, I don't think I'm alone. It's part of our nature. So then, how is it that you can have a car driving for you while simultaneously being attentive? I believe they are so mutually exclusive as to make it ridiculous to claim that such a thing is possible.

>People invariably let down their guard and go "hey, this works" and promptly stop paying attention because there's nothing for them to do.

This is not specific to Tesla.

Trivial example: A coworker has a car that has blind spot detection. She knows the manufacturer says "you should still check, it is not 100% accurate". And she admitted that despite knowing this, she does not check her blind spots and relies solely on blind spot detection.

More serious example:

I have a car that has adaptive cruise control. You can get on the highway, set the CC to 60 mph, but if traffic slows down, it automatically slows down and maintains a distance to the next car. It speeds up to 60 mph when the traffic picks up again.

I love it, but for the inexperienced driver, this is dangerous. It requires one to be more vigilant than regular CC. Every so often (rare, but has happened a few times), it will not detect that the vehicle in front of me is a vehicle, and will not slow down. The more you rely on it, the more vigilant you need to be. My wife has never used CC before, and this would be too much for her to handle, compared to simpler CC.

It's a general problem. Tesla is just a convenient target.

Yet another Rent-A-Car service that people won't use. I'm tired of these countless companies taking up reserved spots in parking lots.

Edit: I ride my bike to BART and use it to get into the city 90% of the time. However, it's been raining a lot in SF recently so I've been forced to drive a couple days. Literally half the available spots at my parking lot of choice are reserved for these services. Most of the time they are empty.
As I can see, they use a microkernel architecture for the kernel[0]. I wonder why they need to create another microkernel OS and not re-use an existing one like MINIX 3 or QNX? What are the advantages of the Zircon Kernel compared to the MINIX 3 or QNX?

Official game communities are an interesting category that we haven't explored or reached out to much yet. That's a great idea though, and I think it makes a lot of sense to think about doing that more.

Our bot is in ~26k servers right now, and the vast majority are mid-sized teams, in the 6-250 person range. I think our tools would be great for larger communities, and I think the needs would be pretty similar - but we haven't explored that too much yet.
This fails the Reasonable Person test. Most people on the street are not aviators, and their assumption is that "autopilot = full autonomy", which is entirely understandable.
Indeed, and I am going to stop using Gmail as a result of this thread.
You have to be kidding right? Microkernels have been used in production for decades in situations where safety, accuracy, and robustness are key. QNX is a microkernel used in real-time systems to great avail and great stability. Unlike linux, it's the sort of kernel you could really trust to run important infrastructure, like automobiles, unmanned aircraft, high speed trains, and robotic surgery.

Just because you don't consciously interact with them on a daily basis, does not mean they do not exist. My guess is that QNX and kernels like it are the reason you can take for granted such obvious things as your car braking correctly, your train not derailing, and your robot surgeon not crashing.

In today's world, we're so used to software breaking that if it doesn't break, we oftentimes think it must not exist. But, there is a whole world of reliable software out there that can actually be trusted. You don't hear about it often, because they work so well.

That may come back to haunt them. For those not clicking it, the above link goes to a video showing the Autopilot in action. The white-on-black, full-screen text prefacing the demo is not doing them any favours in the debate about their messaging (all-caps are in the original):

Steely Dan records, Aja in particular, are what happens when you get the best session players in the world in a studio with a huge budget and guided by a couple of guys whose egos didn't get in the way. They often let the players play whatever they felt was right for the song. They understood that when you've got somebody of the caliber of Purdie at the drums, you don't really need to tell him what to play, you just get out of the way. I've always really appreciated the quality of the recording of Aja, but as an adult I've grown to love the music, too.

And, yeah, I also recommend that documentary. Several of the Classic Albums series are really good. Dark Side of the Moon and Rumours come to mind. They also happen to be studio masterpieces, often listed alongside Aja as being pinnacles of recording quality. (Interesting how they're all from the same era. That sort of big album industry was a fleeting thing.)

It's when they're being gathered without informed consent it's a problem or if they get stored without explicit consent past the reasonable use you needed them for.
