Yes but the backbone is still decentralised. It is very real possibility for one person to make wallet or a service on blockchain and be part of the network.

It is very hard to be part of the traditional banks network. We can debate if it is better that there is much higher cost to entering but overall if the backbone is open then it should help innovation.

George Galloway offered the reward, according to RT in the article posted above (and various other sources generally supportive of Galloway). That's... not usual behaviour.

And as I pointed out above, having a negative opinion of a subject is not a "conflict of interest", and several of the diffs, of literally thousands you could have chosen, are entirely unobjectionable. I even pointed out one above was actually removing something editors are required to remove according to Wikipedia policy. I'd expect the ratio to look rather different if he was a disruptive or agenda-driven editor, as opposed to one whose choice of commentary to include I don't always agree with. If the real interest was in the edits as opposed to promoting conspiracy theories about Wikipedia colluding with conflicted editors to damage the good name of Messrs Murray and Galloway, presumably people would be devoting their time to reasoned explanations of why X is important or Y is irrelevant in talk page discussions on article wording rather than inviting people to astroturf HN as part of their #ditchwikipedia campaign instead...

Lol, I have a couple lying around I had earmarked for building a midi interface for. Maybe my 8-y/o daughter will 'grow into them' as she is the only person in the house with any ability to play keyboards.
Is that just a question of expending the resources on that domain, though? Untold man-hours and compute cycles have been spent on making English speech-to-text mostly work. I would be surprised if even a fraction of that energy has been devoted to other languages.
Sallie mae provided "guaranteed" student loans, where if the borrower is bankrupt, the government takes over the loan. The government also sets the interest rates for these, as I understand it.

I thought she took one of these, though maybe she took just a regular private loan? but those aren't usually referred to as student loans (and will banks actually give those when there are guaranteed ones available?)?
It's like going to the US and saying to the first black customs officer you see something along the lines of "So how's slavery treating ya?"/"Boy, get my luggage and find me a car!".

This is universally known as insensitive behaviour and no amount of "muh free speech" is gonna save you from being charged with a hate crime.

When you go to a country, at the very least make the effort not to offend officials with the worst part of that country's history. Otherwise you're not just gonna be seen as a total (criminal) twat but also a lazy one at that.

Isn't objecting to unfair games super silly as life is inherently unfair.

Why not mouth off on social media? Yes, it draws attention. But it also adds legitimacy to the operation if he is not an individual. If a PR firm is making edits to Wikipedia, they get heavily frowned on. If it appears that an individual is doing it, especially one with a long history of good edits, they will be defended.

I don't have a particularly conspiratorial mind and I prefer coincidence until conspiracy becomes the simpler explanation. Just so it's clear we're not entering the unfundable fantasy realm, PR firms can easily afford a competitive salary for a Wikipedia editor just from one or two clients. As can think-tanks.

I can see how I'd set up and scale up such an operation. I'd keep the one editor to one account for reasons above. I'd probably have them be more like a newspaper editor -- they keep a consistent style across the edits. I'd offload the real work to researchers who dig up sources and to write the bits they want inserted and removed.

Look at the first edits by this account: they're on Jazz musicians and politics, and the political stuff isn't too biased. Eventually the cover of Jazz edits decreases. Maybe he started out as a Wikipedia editor and enjoyed writing so got picked up by one of the many many think-tanks that pay journalism money for advancing what will make their sponsors money. Maybe he's an internet sock-puppet. Snowden revealed that the UK has a unit that engages in such activities. [0]

This very site has not been immune from individuals who work for a very-well-funded, highly-litigious, politically-motivated organization posting op-eds that masquerade as thought-provoking articles. Sometimes they make the front page.

It so happens that one of the few handles that only post articles from there are paid to do so and have re-used a handle that as far as I could tell was only used to ask questions about lipstick on Reddit. It was also her real name and she was confirmed as head of social media at the organisation. This was easy to catch, because the only stuff they posted was from one domain.

Perhaps this is an individual living off passive income with a lot of time on their hands and nothing more they want to do. But perhaps this is somebody being funded for doing what they do.

I am reminded of Poul-Henning Kamp's talk "Operation Orchestra" at Fosdem 2014, in which he humorously outlines how entrenched interests could invade or could have invaded open source [1]

> Intel produces 10nm mobile CPUs

Those aren't mobile CPUs in the sense of being anywhere close to something that could power a smartphone or even a tablet. They're barely-functional desktop chips with large portions of the chip turned off and the rest down-clocked to small laptop power levels. And it's only one SKU so far, with extremely limited availability; mass production is currently scheduled for next year.

Intel's actual low-power microarchitecture is still on 14nm and can barely get its foot in the door for the tablet market. Meanwhile, two generations of smartphones have shipped using TSMC and Samsung 10nm SoCs, and TSMC's 7nm has started volume production.

Molecule size isn't what determines how easily a molecule forms.
It always amazes me how they get their 'digital soldiers' to such a level of expertise. I've spent my entire life in front of a computer, in absolute perfect conditions (internet, education, smart friends) and did everything and anything, from writing assembly code for microchips to deploying self-scaling Amazon SaaS-products, from learning to write cracks for Windows apps to studying anything from Max Headroom to the Morris worm -- and yet, here I am, absolutely incapable of reliably securing a god-damn Wordpress site.

I was always under the impression that there isn't much of an alternative when looking for highly-qualified tech-people, other than trying to find those who 'walked the walk', who've spent a giant junk of their life in front of the keyboard, hacking away. I can't, for the life of me, imagine how kids in North Korea are able to spend anywhere near the time required to become a state-level hacker. Where does all this information come from? Who breaks this into junks, who teaches them or provides the level of pre-processing required to ramp up that quickly? It can't be Youtube videos, can it? I know they mention a university, but the general reporting on North Korea has blurred my imagination enough to still imagine them as poor farmers and 70s-military-style troopers. It's puzzling.

Hopefully the weird special-case LINQ syntax will die out soon. The only time I've found it remotely more helpful than method-chaining is when doing some nasty joins that I probably shouldn't have been doing in the first place.
I find this phenomenon similar to many other diseases. A certain diet or lifestyle works wonders in preventing it. But if you have it, there is little you can do to treat it outside of medical treatment. Eg diabetes, kidney failure, cancer.
Yes. One of the things that drives me nuts about AGI critiques is that nobody is able to define incremental progress towards it, but they will assert confidently that today's increments won't get there. When they make any prescription at all, notes like OP tend to suggest techniques they think might reach farther, instead of proposing goals that might validate advances in those techniques.

I think that's the stagnant part of AI philosophy - a hazy dissatisfaction with task-oriented incrementalism that hasn't been able to offer an alternative objective function.
I would definitely do this, but my G Watch refuses to work with the charging dock now - any tips for bringing them back to life?
There are no finite algebraically closed fields, but I see your point, it depends on what you have to do really, if you want to do any kind of analysis completeness is great, but being more on the logic/model theory side I like all algebraically closed fields!
That's roughly where I am - constant headaches going on for a couple of years at this point, never completely going away. Incidentally, I've found the constant pain is easier to deal with - when they normalise to a constant intensity for a few days, you can tune them out to some degree. When they are fluctuating, even though you get periods of relief and the intensity is lower most of the time, it's harder to ignore when it suddenly feels like someone is driving a nail through the top of your eye.

The only thing I've found that truly helps is lying completely flat - as soon as I stand back up, the pain worsens again and I start to feel nauseated.

Encryption protocols are hard. Two stories, one public and one from my current job:

HTTPS is secured using SSL/ TLS. SSLv1 is so bad it didn't survive the laugh test when it was explained to actual cryptographers, I can't find any records of what it did. SSLv2 is also pretty bad. SSLv3 is at last good enough that actual cryptographers spent time finding holes in it and today it's considered so broken as to be useless.

TLSv1.0 went to the IETF. More eyeballs will fix it right? Note if they're all engineers. Finally in TLSv1.2 the cryptographers were called in, but only after it was finished. "Hey, is this finished thing secure? Yes or No answers only"

Only in TLS 1.3 which is finished but yet to be official, did they _start_ with cryptographers and do the engineering problems later after the cryptographers had baked in the security.

At work, after a system being in use for several years, I was told we couldn't put more key-value pairs into the session information, it was "full". So I went to see how this could possibly be true. All the session information is turned into a JSON blob, which is turned into a few hundred bytes, and then those bytes are encrypted with RSA with the results stored in a Cookie. RSA is only designed to encrypt small quantities of data, which isn't a problem because it's supposed to be used to move a symmetric key. But far, far more importantly - even if this particular _method_ of doing so is crazy why are we encrypting all this data and hiding it in a Cookie at all? That's crazy.
George Galloway offered the reward

Well, we're not George Galloway.

I'll just repeat what I said in another comment here:

What it seems you're suggesting is that those unfairly targeted on Wikipedia, as Cross is doing, should learn the labyrinthine processes Wikipedia expects to correct their entries. And then presumably to put in the same amount of time Cross is putting in (hours and hours on weekdays and weekends) to monitor their pages for more abuses from him.

Should we not be more concerned about blocking those who are clearly in the wrong here?
I don't really get the point you're making. The AI isn't aware of parental concerns, preferences or human behaviour specific to childhood activity. It's evaluating "interestingness" visually, after someone chooses to put the camera in front of an already interesting active area such as kids playing.

The AI is not waking up and saying to itself, "initiate full power mode immediately because I detect children playing in an interesting manner".

While I love new photo gadgets, the 3 hour battery life is a little disappointing. I do like the general idea though, although what were they thinking not adding a microphone?

Incidentally, I wonder what machine learning would take from reading your post. Would it conclude that one sentence per paragraph is a good thing worth replicating? I hope not!
I see it completely differently. This is a fantastic body of work, and as far as documentation goes: read the source.

If you don't have time for that, its not the problem of the authors.

That said, were this a commercially driven enterprise, the lack of documentation is an issue. But, true fact, most open source projects can immediately benefit from the involvement of someone, anyone, willing to update the docs .. so, be a hero: submit a PR, someone.

At the same time, the shallow “understanding” of state of the art NLP methods are still not what we’re looking for. As we blow through records, we need to carefully state our shortcomings so that we can look for the next step.

It’s critical to ask how we’re supposed to get to something better.

Or does it not concern you that these methods work by modeling words by their context, not their content?
Thanks for mentioning it, I don't care about waterproofing but I intended to attempt a port (I get a librem5 as soon as they're out so my android wear will be basically useless by then), so the chip thing may be a problem.

Sure, nobody is disputing that PR sources can and do manipulate influential publicly editable media full time. But if you were trying to not draw attention to yourself and maximise the percentage of your time spent on edits that were strategically useful, it'd be hard to come up with a less practical approach than User:PhilipCross

(This is not something I lack knowledge of as a formerly prolific editor of UK politics articles. I reckon at least a quarter of MPs have had their articles edited by themselves or their campaign staff, usually in a very unsophisticated and obvious manner. One obscure elected Member of Parliament's biography appeared to have been mostly written, in good faith, by their partner, and that text was up there for a very long time...)

The irony is that some the figures complaining about User:PhilipCross openly take money for regularly appearing on Russian state media, and yet I still believe their politics isn't shaped by financial incentives.

How is this "Open Source"[1] when everything is licensed CC BY-NC-ND? What was the point of releasing anything if changes can't be made or shared? One might as well get a TI-84 since there are FOSS firmware replacements [2] and it would be much more free than this.

I would have bought one of these if the license was not so restrictive.

What "abject failure" is that? GOFAI fell out of favour because its funding was cut as a result of political decisions by bureaucrats that did not understand the field, not because the field itself decided it had failed in its goals.

GOFAI - logic-based AI- worked just fine. Its branch of research was cut short before we could see where it would truly lead. Of course modern reserachers will not tell you that- it's their job to promote their ideas and your job to know the history of AI before 2012.

Congrats on getting something out there into the world. Quick thoughts:

A. I love the MVP. A telegram based cms almost. Really low effort. I'm not entirely sure how one would browse lessons across the community since I can only see your contributions so far.

B. Which brings me to the second observation. I noticed that you could post any number of lessons on the same book for a single day. At this stage I suppose it's ok. But in the future at least you'll need some form of collation to keep that data under control.

C. This isn't an observation. Just a thought. I feel like you'd be able to create this community better by onboardibg people individually rather than through a blast adoption on sites like hacker news or product hunt. You run the risk of people coming in to see what this is about, not seeing activity and leaving. Ideally there should have been a community of 10-20 people you personally onboard before you pushed this. But never too late :).

Just my 2 cents throughout. Good luck with the future of this.

I'm far from the biggest fan of Wikipedia's jargon or bureaucracy, but if there is a specific false or objectionable claim on a page it's generally a lot less time-consuming and more productive to remove it, explain why it was removed and then watch the page for future updates than spend hours searching through the responsible editor's social media accounts and then launch a campaign to ban him through multiple social media channels...
