Even China admits that it isn’t beating the USA in AI yet, the articles you are reading, at least if they are from Chinese sources, claim that they will be beating the USA in AI by 2020 or so.

This is sort of a meme with the Chinese government, they make declarations about what will happen in the future, and then silently readjust their goals when the previously declared deadline passes. See for example http://reddit.com/china2020. Think of it as more of a pep rally for a sports match up (rah rah, we will win!).
That would indeed be nice, but unfortunately a significant portion of the country would be diametrically opposed to it.
Many people today live in misery, but with TVs. The important things—quality of life, for one—is something different than material things.

Also, the article take care to use the word “necessities.” If those are out of reach those people are not rich.

>Before migrating, GNOME used a broad range of tools to fulfil a number of specific purposes – from CGit for hosting to Bugzilla for bug tracking – but the number of tools made the onboarding experience for new contributors cumbersome and confusing. They started looking for a single tool to meet more of their needs to make this process easier and to improve their own workflows.

I got the same "California Republicans hit rock bottom" result. Political views aside, Google are publishing libelous content and they should own up to it. In fact, the instant they "manually" altered knowledge boxes, no matter the intention or content of the edit, they put too much of their thumb on the scale and (imho) lost any "safe harbor" protection they may have enjoyed.
I'm pretty sure everything mentioned here has been a feature on iPhones for quite some time.
This aligns extremely well with what I have seen with my teenagers and their friends.

Recently I was at an event where a teenager was giving a speech in which he mentioned Snapchat or Instagram and said, as an aside, "That's like Facebook for you old people".
When you shake hands with someone, you're connected to them. Who is who? Spooky.

Apple's move against device-level ad-blocking came coincidentally soon after the news regarding Facebook using a non-FB branded VPN to gather user data.

Walking the line between the pro-privacy aspects of VPN ad blocking and the the very anti-privacy possibilities that such functionality enables isn't easy. There's nothing to stop any VPN from scary levels of metadata collection, but Apple did close the door to one way of promoting or selling these services.

App devs hate hearing this, but I've always found it interesting that Apple doesn't try to take a cut of ad revenue that apps receive. And yet they insist on taking a cut of "tips" and pretty much any other revenue stream. I'm glad they don't because it would put them in an adversarial position with privacy.

I guess they tried with iAds, but even that was going to be optional I believe.
ASCAP only deals with performance. The rules for dealing with TV (and film) rights is very different and doesn't involve ASCAP or BMI.

>The big company is in the later phases of a snowball effect. It's a huge thing that rolls by itself and can't really be redirected, stopped or sped up by anyone. A CEO knows that. He's mostly concerned about internal politics and external representation.

This is one of the unspoken truths of business. It's the same whether you're a CEO or a manager.

The best people know this, but never EVER say it. The rest think they have to do more than they actually should; the most obvious manifestation of this is micro-managing.
Impressive. I've lately been wondering though, how does one load data fast enough into such rigs to come close to saturating this kind of compute power? I felt this was an issue even with TPUs and V100s for any application that isn't thoroughly bottlenecked by compute (ex:- one could spend hours loading up a petabyte, and process it all in tens of minutes)
Eh, people would keep saying 9-to-5 and post in Future-Reddit "TIL 9-to-5 jobs are called that because in the early 21st century 9am was defined as when the work-day started" or something else equally half-right.
Isn't that all of them? It was my understanding that Apple forbids any non-Apple web view.
But that's actual work. If people wanted to do actual work, there are plenty of manual labor jobs unfilled right now. You'd have to walk and dig and use tools and maybe sweat, none of which the TSA guys have to do.

The iPhone’s value is tied up in its IP (software, design) and high end components, none of which are actually made in China. The assembly happens in China, and the Chinese derive some profit from that, but it is related to the actual value being provided.
I'd given this challenge some thought in the recent past, specifically the challenge that the big app store owners are each generally susceptible to coercion by large nation-state actors in spite of being multinationally distributed.

There was a project I was involved in rather heavily (cyph // resulted in a pair of neat conference talks) where we'd accounted for the risks of apps being banned by making the entire application operate exclusively in a web context. To at least somewhat mitigate the related risks stemming from having to trust the cryptographic logic delivered by a web server every time you use the service, trust-on-first-use was achieved by mangling the living daylights out of HPKP in tandem with service workers in order to persist barebones codesigning logic used for validating cryptographic packages delivered from the web service. Alas...

All of this is to say that there have been multiple parties involved in addressing this challenge, each one thinking from novel angles in an effort to mitigate the risks posed by the threat of sanctions against secure messaging. As it stands, it appears there's now a rather glaring weakness: if a nation-state decides as much, they can just twist the arms of the walled gardens supporting your secure messaging client in order to:

1) deny access generally, reducing or eliminating the growth of the target space and improving target acquisition,

2) persist known vulnerabilities just long enough to exploit against a target.

Telegram has been criticized again and again for their security hygiene and for their architectural decisions. Signal's seen some of that heat quite recently, and I raise both of these because they speak pretty strongly to the bullets above: there's a chance we're seeing a live demonstration by a preeminent world power against one of the few tools dissidents are using to literally stay alive.

If this demonstration succeeds without any sort of significant blowback (in the form of corporate or popular resistance or some other subversion or mitigation of the attack), there's nothing to stop any other major party from trying it, regardless of whether they're a nation-state.

Anyway, I'm keen on a deeper discussion here. Maybe the tinfoil hat's been a bit corrosive to my brain; counter-arguments are welcomed.

They have been trading back and forth for a while.

Why is this suddenly news?
That's a rather uncommon exception. Very few apps load ads in a web view. Mainly because, imo, the ad platforms want a lot more user data than they'd get that way. And fraud would be a bit harder to detect.
Or Apple not decided yet how to proceed and is buying some time.

They’re not even a law enforcement agency despite the very cop-like uniforms. They’re not legally “peace officers”, can’t make arrests, execute warrants, handle firearms, etc. I’ve seen discussions where actual police officers are a bit upset the TSA is watering down their uniform style, down to including police-like badges.

Here’s the evolution of TSA uniforms over time. You the transition to being faux-cops: https://i0.wp.com/loweringthebar.net/wp-content/uploads/2012...

So far everyone I meet that uses it production is using Lambda. It might be because they want to consume it as a SaaS. But maybe a self-managed solution would have to be compatible with Lambda to gain adoption.

Of course self-hosted is more work then SaaS, but I'm not sure that maintenance and scale are much worse. With Kubernetes you can autoscale things easily.

Wrong comparison. PDF is code only in the same sense as LaTeX is. PDF is based
on PostScript, just as LaTeX is a set of macros on top of TeX, and we all know
TeX and PostScript are programming languages and are Turing complete (look
for a web server written in PostScript).

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I wonder if App developers where not ready since they did embrace Heroku.
Was Github ruled out because it's not free enough in spirit or are the Gnome folks just wanting to run things on-prem?
Yes, and I didn't __need__ hulu. If it was my choice, I wouldn't have the account.
I travel for work constantly and I can tell you right now every airport has their own security rules, even different TSA employees have their own rules. And they're all flexible when they need to be. Before I had pre-check, I was swabbed and run through a metal detector because the line was backing up too long. Now that I have pre-check, sometimes my laptop has to come out, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes my watch has to come off, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes my medically-required syringe and bottle of liquid is acceptable, sometimes I have to argue with them. Sometimes the metal detector randomly selects people for advanced screening. Sometimes I forget that my phone is in my pocket and wonder if the metal detector is even turned on since it didn't beep.

TSA does not follow a single set of rules. They make it all up as they go along, and the rules change day-to-day.
People can see the points go up and down. They are not shown when or by whom.
Interesting! I hope the tech works and can reduce potential suffering from mis-read x-rays.

My brother fractured his scaphoid bone during a high school lacrosse game, and the doctor who x-rayed his wrist did not detect it.

He continued living an active life with a broken wrist (he has a high pain tolerance) for several months before the worsening pain sent him to an orthopedic specialist.

Being unaware of the fracture, he had done quite a lot of damage to the bones in his wrist, which wound up needing multiple surgeries and nearly 18 months (!) in a cast to fully heal. He also permanenly lost a bit of that wrist’s range of motion.

I welcome any tool that helps doctors not miss this sort of thing!
The cost of the car for manufacturer might be: 60% goes into into the factory and tooling, 20% into the parts and 20% is the rest.

If parts alone cost $28k and the car is sold for $35k, there is no profit in the Model 3 even if the car is successful.

What I really want to know is how much Tesla pays for product recall insurance per car.
> The weapon gives pilots the ability to destroy moving targets on the battlefield. Its seeker detects, classifies, tracks and destroys targets, even in adverse weather conditions from standoff ranges. "We call SDB II a game changer because the weapon doesn't just hit GPS coordinates; it finds and engages targets," said Mike Jarrett, Raytheon Air Warfare Systems vice president. "SDB II can eliminate a wider range of targets with fewer aircraft, reducing the pilot's time in harm's way."

I think it is pretty hard to parse just how autonomous these are.

'https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/developmental-testi...

edit: muahaha I found a good reference

> Once launched, the SDB-II relies on a sophisticated package of internal computing and algorithms that are designed to get the most out of its tri-mode sensors, and make the process of launch and targeting as simple and flexible as possible for the pilot. The GPS/INS system or datalink messages guide the bomb toward the target during the initial search phase, while the tri-mode seeker gathers initial data. A revisit phase combines information from all of its sensor modes to classify targets. That’s especially useful because the SDB-II can be told to prioritize certain types of targets, for example by distinguishing between tracked and wheeled vehicles, or by giving laser “painted” targets priority.

so some amount of classification/targeting. again I am unclear if the bomb can re-prioritize targets without confirmation from the pilot but it seems like technically very possible.

Thats for smaller ticket items. Boeing isn't 3x'ing the cost of a plane, and neither are car manufacturers. Toyota makes an average of $2800/car, and GM makes only $654/car [0].

I wasn't offended and it is a valid question :) And yes, I'm definitely into 80s stuff and GOFAI.

I do plan to have some GPU support (probably by supporting existing ML framework) at some point (sooner if there's demand for it). I also like to explore logical inferences on GPU (but I haven't given it much thought yet).
The whole blog post was made to sound like GNOME moved to gitlab.com, so I guess not including the link was intentional.
Is it really that hard to write a little script to copy the issues over? Github has an exceptional API.
Typically the biggest cost per new car is the factory and tooling, not the R&D.

I get your point but the risk of this becoming widespread enough that your nightmare scenario could happen is zero. It's not a standard way to use binfmt_misc, the only people who do are going to be nerds like us so on their own head be it. Plus regular users wanting to open PDFs et al will do so in the GUI rather than command line. The GUI has its own checks to make double clicking safe.

However I do take your point that if for some bizarre reason Ubuntu and derivatives did start configuring binfmt_misc to open documents and recommending users getting into the habit of setting the executable bit on docs, that would be a bad thing.
There is another way to look at this. In the current economy, anyone who wants to can get IT and programming skills and get a pretty good job. In fact, IT in general is a pathway to wealth, which is open to anyone, and leads to more wealth than many other career paths. You can be a 17 year old Javascript expert a get a $200k job without going to college. All the training materials you need to do this are online, for free. You need a $200 Chromebook, a Wifi connection, and some kind of ambition or drive.
The company in the source article also has a DNS service (adguard dns: 176.103.130.130 & 176.103.130.131) that blocks ad domains.

It works pretty well, but requires trusting them to follow their privacy policy (which is good) as with any DNS provider.

I've found it useful and lower maintenance than other approaches, but you trade power and flexibility. And is presumably less performant than preventing the lookups in the first place.

The cars that have been driving around Mountain View have been level 3, since there was still a driver. Waymo does have level 4 cars in Phoenix right now, which is incredibly impressive. Whether or not they are capable of fully driverless functionality in Mountain View right now is unknown, but I sincerely doubt it given it's their hometown and if they could they would.

Waymo is clearly the leader and making great strides, but they're not there yet. By the end of this year when they officially launch to the public in Phoenix we'll have a much better idea of how far along they really are.

How about ABC or ESPN? If not them I'm sure there are a dozen other examples of things Disney owns that may or may not be common knowledge.

I'm not saying it's impossible but it is sure hard at this point. Personally I'd really feel like I was missing out by boycotting Star Wars or Marvel. I know not everyone likes the direction Disney is taking these franchises but I continue to enjoy them, especially when sharing with my kids. I'd miss out if I tried to boycott Disney.

Doesn't mean I like them as a company though!

While this is a bit breathless, I think it does call out the fact that American poor are much worse off than those in a typical rich country. Since the 80s the upper middle class has grown quite a bit while the working class and poor have lost ground. Still, the typical poor in America are far, far from the poor in a developing nation. The homeless (~500k out of 325mm) are pretty close though.

The poverty rate has remained quite steady in the US, so despite the "feel" of there being more poor in the country that doesn't square with the facts [0].

The real issue which the article does a great job of calling out is the way that Americans pay a premium for many goods; it just doesn't connect that thought to anything illuminating.

B&W printing in particular has a certain hands-on craftwork aspect to it that you don't really get with digital in the same way. (Working on a computer with Photoshop or Lightroom isn't really the same thing although it takes an equal amount of skill.)

That said, I never really got into multi-hour printing sessions to get a print just perfect. I always came more from the newspaper than the fine art mindset. So it's one of those things that leads me to reminisce about how that was fun without any real desire to ever do it again.

LibreOffice is a continuation of the original development team, and the original code. The only thing they don't have is the name, which doesn't matter much in my mind. So why do you say that what's now called "OpenOffice" is the main line, and "LibreOffice" is a fork? What's your definition of a fork, exactly?
