I'm surprised article like this don't mention how NOT valuable real diamonds actually are and how it's all a marketing stunt from the 50s[1].

It's pretty funny to see De Beers and co trying to defend how precious their "real" stones are while the face value of man-made ones might actually be higher than those real ones they acquire slaving away poor african countries.

I'd say the current Youtube autocaptioning system is at an advanced nonnative level (or a drunk native one :)) and it would take years of intensive studying or living in an English-speaking country to reach it.

The vast majority of English learners are not able to caption most Youtube videos as well as the current AI can.

You underestimate the amount of time required to learn another language and the expertise of a native speaker. (Have you tried learning another language to the level you can watch TV in it?)

Almost all native speakers are basically grandmasters of their mother tongue. The training time for a 15-year-old native speaker could be approx. 10 hours * 365 days * 15 years = 54,750 hours, more than the time many professional painists spent on practice.

Synthetic diamonds might be a disruptive innovation. They are often cheaper, lower quality, and lacking in complex features such as authenticity. There is a different and advantageous cost structure compared to that of mining for natural diamonds, and this product fulfills the new job of culling environmental and humanitarian concern.

In this scenario, we may be witnessing an incumbent firm unable to adopt new disruptive technologies because its revenue structures are incompatible, as the current margins and volumes for synthetics are likely far lower than those of mined diamonds.
I just got engaged a few months ago and did not buy a ring. My fiancée didn't want one (she prefers more discreet rings) and I was happy not to pay for such a marketing schemes.

I was very surprised at how everyone were pretty shocked, be it our parents or some of our friends (despite being open minded, modern millenials).
Gotta give credits to the marketing firm that did this whole thing, it might be the biggest marketing success ever.

I have been using AP2 every day for more than a year now as its very convenient but inherently dangerous as its addictive and provides a false sense of security as it works great ~ 90-95% of the time. I would not be opposed to an auto-steer ban to force Tesla to get their priorities straight about stationery object detection and auto-braking and stop scamming people about their self-driving if its really years away. You can still use adaptive cruise which eases all the commute hassles yet forces you to be actively engaged.

> Supervising autopilot to the degree required to correct sudden mistakes seems, to me, to be probably very close to the mental load of the details of steering yourself.

intuitively, the load seems higher. this is because your brain must now include predictions regarding an additional third party who is not there in cars without autopilot or with autopilot off. it’s similar to how i am more stressed and tired after riding in the passenger seat with a less experienced driver at the wheel than i am at the wheel myself.

The history of humanity is full of examples of people using technology to prevail over other groups of people. Applications of AI and ML will be no exception: computer vision, game theory, autonomous systems, material design, espionage, cryptography... You name it.

Supraintelligent AI is not required to cause severe problems.
Because the fully-assisted driving ("autopilot") removes the need for interaction completely. Your brain will stop spending power on backseat driving, because the brain is really lazy--and clever about being lazy too.
>"If you can perfectly recreate something down to the molecular level, what actually has value?"

The raw materials themselves, I think. After all, you have to supply the basic building blocks to replicate objects. That's why there is the feed in The Diamond Age, bringing the raw materials, plus vacuum and power.

Until you can artificially create heavy elements, their rarity will determine their value.

>"If you can replicate cooked food perfectly, will people still claim that "real" food, grown, slaughtered, and cooked, is "better" or tastes "more authentic", despite no technical difference?"

Yes, absolutely. At least certain segments will, witness how people fawn over "artisanal craft" this-and-that. More effort goes into the production, so there is more of an emotional connection. The mass produced item could be superior to the hand crafted item, but the latter will feel more "real" to a lot of people. Even more so if they craft it themselves.

It's just how we're wired, I think.
I'm not sure what this is asserting. There's no association between MVS and build infra. If you have a security fix to apply, you'd run `vgo get -u` to upgrade all your modules; systems like Cargo that use lockfiles would run `cargo upgrade`. This is just as automatic. In fact, vgo is less automatic here because systems like Cargo allow users to decide when they want certain upgrades automatically, which means that new downstream users can get the security fix even without needing to explicitly upgrade. And vgo also requires more manual intervention to upgrade than traditional build systems, because if the upgrade requires a major version bump then you also have to edit the import statements in your source files as well. vgo is both less automatic and requires more manual labor; that appears to be an intentional choice on behalf of the vgo manifesto.

Who says the community is against it? I happen to like it.
When I lived/worked in a high-risk kidnapping environment, I ever got K&R insurance. What I wanted was "retribution insurance" -- some plan which would guarantee some people would investigate and kill everyone in any substantial way affiliated with the kidnapping -- and to loudly communicate the existence of this policy in advance. Being recovered would be great, but having kidnappings deterred entirely would be even better.

US citizenship largely serves this purpose, at least if it's a high profile kidnapping (which any kidnapping in Iraq/Afghanistan/etc. would have been.)
Hmm, I guess accessing files from Dropbox is not too hard in itself. You can already do that in a somewhat roundabout way by choosing “Open in...” in the Dropbox app and then selecting “Copy to Decoupled”.

Indexing and keeping track of all items in Dropbox, without actually storing them locally is a bit harder. But then I guess you would need streaming for those files too, which is another can of worms.

Long story short: possible in theory, but unlikely in near term.

I'm pretty sure Facebook could do it technically. They just haven't figured out how to fill a feed with autoplay videos (presumably required to get convincing view counts) without making it utter trash.

Maybe Netflix is well placed because they already have the ISP relationships and CDN set up, if they can figure a way to leverage that for user uploaded content? I doubt they're interested though.
Small note, this isn’t something that you’ve said, but since we’re comparing the two in this sub thread overall, Cargo doesn’t require a central registry either. You can pull straight from version control, and the lock file will even keep track of what HEAD is at the time, maintaining reproducibility. Or from the file system. Etc.

No, it's over a billion miles driven by Tesla cars that have the sensor hardware that Autopilot uses. The number of miles driven with Autopilot actually engaged is about 300 million, at least according to the data Tesla has released.

Your post has two different points, and I think they should be separated. Yes, there's an AI hype train, and it's pretty tiring. I'm starting to wonder when the first AI-enhanced shoes are going to come out. Or an AI enhanced blockchain, right?

That said, the rest of the rant about AI is less solid. Sure, AI today is fairly boring and run of the mill data processing / optimisation stuff (I sort of know, though I only have an MSc in the topic). Much of the promise of near-future AI is that we can go from human designed, or shall we say human-bootsrapped AI to self-bootstrapping kind. The fact that AlphaGo pretty much does this (in a very limited capacity), and accomplished something which classical programming and game "AI" couldn't, should show us that we're pretty close to this type of AI being highly effective. How exactly the future unfolds from there is anyone's guess, but outright calling it ignorant is... pretty ignorant, IMHO.

Have you considered that their claims may not in fact be ignorant, just the reporting around them? For some details perhaps you would start with this primer from a decade ago, section 4 & 5 if you're in a hurry: http://intelligence.org/files/AIPosNegFactor.pdf

Lower Quality? Lacking in complex feature? authenticity? what is considered authentic? If i tell you water is authentic if it's made from 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom, in the same way that diamond is made from compressed carbon and whether synthetic or dug from the ground. when the chemical construct is the same what determines it as not being authentic and lower quality? In fact synthetic diamonds offer higher clarity than natural ones depending on which one you choose, they have visually perfect ones in the same way natural diamonds do. So where is this "lower quality" coming from?

Look at the date on that article. It is from 2016. Tesla has sold a lot of cars and those cars have driven a lot of miles in the last year and a half. Tesla is certainly over a billion miles in Autopilot driving by now.

EDIT: Here is a Tweet from April 2016 saying 47m miles. [1] Your linked article is from November 2016 and shows 300m miles. That is 250m miles in 7 months. Projecting that forward with zero growth, Tesla would have accumulated roughly 950m miles in Autopilot usage. That isn't including the over 100,000 cars Tesla has sold since November of 2016 or the miles those cars have accumulated in that time. I stand by my statement that Teslas have recorded over a billion miles while using Autopilot.

>Because the fully-assisted driving ("autopilot") removes the need for interaction completely.

But it isn't fully assisted and doesn't completely remove the need for interaction. It just is another step forward from cruise control that is more assisted and requires less interaction. I am not sure why everyone assumes the sweet spot for driver assistance ends immediately after adaptive cruise control and before cruise control plus lane keeping.

>Your brain will stop spending power on backseat driving

That is an interesting phrase to use considering backseat drivers have zero responsibility or control of a car but still manage to pay attention.
can i ask why you “trust” the system with your life so much?

there’s not a single piece of software i trust in my daily life. i mean, something as simple as an iPad, phone, computer, tv, etc. hardly goes a day without a glitch, but yet people are ready to trust “self-driving” auto features as if they’ve never experienced a software failure before. and normally, it isn’t a software failure in the strictest sense. it’s a human error embedded in software. so i ask myself, do i trust the however many overworked, sleep deprived, wide-eyed engineers’ abstract and concrete thought now embedded in cars’ active driving systems? the answer is no way.
> Funding for this basic science isn't going away.

What make this 3rd/4th boom in AI different?

The other AI winter, the funding for these science went from well funded to little funding.

I'm skeptical, with respect of course, on your statement because it doesn't have anything to back that up other than it produce useful technologies. Wouldn't this statement imply that the other previous AI which experience AI Winter (expert system, and whatever else) didn't produce useful enough technologies to have funding?

I'm currently on the camp of there is going to be an AI Winter III coming.

> None_ of them have promised wild general intelligence any time soon.

The post talk about Andrew Ng wild expectation on other things such as radiologist tweet. While it's not wild general intelligence. What I think the main article and also I am thinking is the outrageous speculation. Another one is the tesla self driving, it doesn't seem to be there yet and perhaps we're hitting the point of over promise like we did in the past and then AI winter happen because we've found the limit.

I drive most of my miles these days with ACC and lane keeping on, and I find that the article is generally still correct when relating to a newly automated function of driving.

I watch more for peripheral threats and have to pay attention to the throttle only when I feel unexpected acceleration or braking, or if there's a tricky condition that ACC might not handle correctly. I hope, as time goes on, those moments decrease in number and danger.
That's exactly why the GDPR is put in place, to give users transparency and force website to ask the users consent before tracking.

You'll see some sites have quite an extensive menu of opting in to various tracking etc. For example Engadget or TechCrunch have a popup asking you to give consent, or not, before using the website. This is how it should be done.

Then there's other websites that shows you all it's tracking and ask you to just accept, there's no option to refuse, which is against GDPR, as implied consent is no longer valid.

And then you'll have websites like latimes that just goes "fuck it, we'll just block 500 million people in EU instead!"
>If the goal is to prevent certain actions by making them illegal and a given boundary can already ensure that, whats the point in widening that boundary even more?

> Just because if the name is added to such a database of cars produced, it will be personal identifying?

When you add data to your database you'll have to consider this, yes.

Privacy under the GDPR means that you evaluate whether or not it is necessary to store such data.

Why? Because the GDPR is not only about the present but also about potential problems. If your database gets breached and someone runs of with the data, the GDPR seeks to ensure that the data contained is the absolute minimum necessary and does not threaten the privacy of the users if possible.

Put another way:

Under GDPR you do not own data like car color, built, model, extras. People give you stewardship of the data and you are responsible for it. It is your task to protect it. Protecting people's data is easier when you don't have as much of it.
