What is relevantly the same in one application may not be relevant in another. Equivalently, differences between objects may or may not matter, depending on the application.

One can go further to say that in many settings the correct output to an equality-query may appropriately depend on the identity of the caller.
Time shift invariance, which is used when you assume that past patterns predict future results, is one form of invariance. Space shift invariance and rotation invariance are others. You have to specifically program your nn to look for time shift invariance; stands to reason you'd want to design your architecture for the spacial invariances too. In other words: it's not reasonable to expect a neural net to derive space and rotation invariance from first principles, and I'd be very surprised to learn that the human brain didn't have special purpose hardware for accomplishing those things.

Cr50 has replaced the old Infineon TPM, which the above link concerns.
When I went to the viewing of the first apartment I bought, other people were literally turning around in the door because the insides were so ugly. 70's green vinyl floor in the livingroom. Worn wooden underfloor in the bedroom. Worn yellow wallpaper. Original 40's kitchen.

But the bathroom was recently renovated and freshly tiled. Previous owner wasn't a smoker. The buildings were in great shape, and the economy of the housing co-op was great and it was run professionally. And it was an estate sale, so I put in a bid below asking price, and got the apartment, because I was the only one interested in it, and the people selling it didn't need the money, they just wanted to get rid of the apartment!

Sure, it took time to fix it up, and that's a kind of investment a lot of people don't want to do, but the other thing that drives people's behaviour in this is that to them, there's two kinds of money. The mortgage is some kind of abstract number that isn't really money, but magically transforms into a monthly mortgage payment in real money. But buying paint and wallpaper and paying someone to fix up your place, that costs real money all the way, and a lot of it, so people cheap out. And then they spend 2x, 3x that amount as a premium when buying a house where the interior doesn't need to be re-done. But it's in unreal mortgage number money, so people spend it without thinking.

It's a very interesting video, yet am i the only one that think the whole presentation look extremely naÏve and light for something that's playing with our lives ?

I mean, there are definitely huge shortcomings in the "let's have the computer build the model from examples" approaches, and some of them are talked in the video, others are not :

- rare events are hard to train (that's talked about). The problem is that it's a long tail of unusual events.

- models generated can't be statically analyzed. You can't predict what's going to work and what's not. You can only hope. One very striking recent example is in this video : https://youtu.be/w2BWmSBog_0?t=220 . Here you can see that an AI trained on the model of AlphaZero managed to reach 3223 elo rating (so, far beyond human), yet it blundered its queen. And that's just chess, where every rules are written in advance.

- Models don't build human knowledge. That's more of a philosophical point, but imagine a perfect AI built on neural networks after having read all human knowledge. What can it teaches us ? AlphaZero chess isn't able to provide any clue or explanation on why it favors one move instead of another. You can only learn buy playing against it, but that's all. Not even the developpers can tell you what advances in chess theory has AlphaZero made.
What an absolutely beautiful conversation.
Yes, but....the usage you apparently objected to is how the word theory is used in the world, i.e. it's one of the meanings of the word. At least, I looked in a couple of dictionaries and they gave sentences just like the one you objected to, as examples of correct usage. Yes, in science, the word has a narrower meaning; I'm sure people on here know that.
And so marks the end of the std::graphics era. I originally thought it was a good idea, but now agree that a graphics API like that has no place in standardisation.
How Children in a Maya Village Do Chores
True. But that's the states' rights thing. This is the individual rights thing. The stand that the nation is a federation of individuals. There were diverse individual autarchic influences. From the French (as we all know) and the Russians (blending individualism with collective effort). Similarly, the Religious Society of Friends (albeit involving Christ). And ironically, the Iroquois League. Plus the settler vibe.

False. A recent U.S. decision holds that such a disclosure must be well known to practitioners of the art, not just known to a few! Publication is no longer sufficient.

You do have to lie and say you thought of it independently; something impossible to disprove. The number of people who'd lie for big money is... innumerable.

You can patent ideas thousands of years old - if they're not well known to practitioners.

Yes. The chiller unit consumes 1kW to move 1.7kW of heat off the CPU. It then has to dissipate 2.7kW.
Since converting a number to a string still requires a lot of boilerplate in C++, sorting a container still requires typing the name of the container twice, and checking if a map or set contain a key requires lots of code, I can only imagine drawing a pixel is going to become something like this:

std::graphics::graphicsstream s(screen);

s << *std::graphics::drawPixel(screen.begin(), screen.end(), screen.left() + x, screen.top() + y, std::graphics::color_channel::red.begin() + 128, std::graphics::color_channel::green.begin() + 128,
std::graphics::color_channel::blue.begin() + 128,
std::graphics::color_channel::alpha.begin() + 255, std::graphics::modelfactory.getFactory()->createModel(std::graphics::color_model::srgb), screen.end())->reverse_iterator()->second;

One downside of Software 2.0 as compared to 1.0, at least as of today: it is incredibly hard to debug in the conventional sense. The focus of this talk was mostly on data-labelling challenges. For a company with software as mission-critical as Tesla, I'm disappointed Andrej did not bring up any of the practical challenges around debugging complex models.
Naps in the day have repeatedly been shown to be helpful and have positive health benefits. I’d say this anecdote is just like a lot of anecdotes passed down by humans and doesn’t match science.
Proof of independent creation might be; but similarity provides a statistical test of that. Cases use similarity and probability, they don't take "independent creators" at their word.
I appreciate the 80's hardware ethic, as well as the 'art by constraint' philosophy. But I do see a place for devices where those constraints are just programmed into into a modernish FPGA - no silly scouring old warehouses for obsolete parts - way less routing, fraction of the size pcb etc, all the 80's angst. The words of a Philistine perhaps, but I do think we can get the constraint and creativity benefits without the hardware headache, and I'm saying this a EE.

Sounds to me like "modern swift" doesn't actually have any if these things. Did you mean to say that the author wasn't familiar with some future version of swift that doesn't yet exist?

Cofounders of Sidepact here.

Applications for the next cohort of Sidepact are now open! Sidepact does the work of matching you with a team, establishing shared commitment, and working on a problem you care about.

Over the last few weeks we’ve received some great applications, signed on advisors from the first batch of YC and the Stanford GSB, and had top-tier VCs commit to Demo Day.

We’re hoping to bring you from product validation to the launch of your startup. Hope you’ll join us!

Sidepact applications close Sunday, June 17th. If you or someone you know might be interested, chat us at sharon (at) sidepact.com or kevin (at) sidepact.com to learn more!
The push for a standard 2d api in C++ seems so bizarre to me. There's a place for languages like python that are designed around quickly prototyping things, but this has never really been C++'s domain. Programmers for most of the esoteric, resource constrained platforms where C/C++ really shines don't have much need for a 2d api, or will probably want to write their own. Meanwhile, popular libraries already meet the needs of most of everyone else.

Is there a genuine use case for a language-level standard 2d api? To me it seems like it is being pushed as a standard just for the sake of a checkbox, but am I missing something here?
Very hard to manage given that publication is no longer enough - the average practitioner has to be aware of that publication, or it doesn't count, according to a recent U.S. decision.
He had an additional objection which was that the portrayal of Mediterranean diversity through the choice of a black (sub-saharan) character was extremely condescending - like "if you're not white European, we'll just pick some random dark skinned ethnicity to represent you, doesn't matter, the important point is non-white."
It could be that the cooling of the brain is dominated by convection through blood flow rather than conduction through the skull/fat/skin. If that's true, then the effect of water vs air would be on the whole body which still has to be maintained at proper body temperature so there would be no difference in brain temperature sleeping the same way in water or in air. If the body's temperature regulation is designed assuming that the brain is always generating too much of its own heat and doesn't need to be supplied with additional heat like the extremities do, then, it would still need to keep up that heat generation independently of the rate of heat loss to the environment.
It certainly seems implausible that our physical brains would behave as if they experienced things without ever having any kind of input from that process, but not impossible.

But the point of the idea of p-zombies isn't to describe something that plausibly exists. It's thought experiment to highlight the hard problem of consciousness, by demonstrating how the notion of experience is separable in our conception from any physical process we can imagine. That is, regardless of how our brain physically comes to behave as if it were conscious, we can still conceive of a version of it that does not actually experience consciousness.

This is because, at least to me, conscious experience is something entirely unlike any physical process. I can conceive of it being the result of a physical process, but nonetheless, my conception of that experience is still of a separate thing which happens as a result of that process. And as such, I can always imagine any such physical process occurring without the corresponding experience.

To say that conscious experience "is" a physical process, is to my conception, a category error.
Go somewhere else for a week or two. Sometimes you have to change your environment. If you can’t go on vacation right now, start going somewhere else after work instead of going home right away. Maybe go to the gym in the morning.

The first time you do something is the hardest but it gets easier after that.
Maybe it's time to implement Sweet 16 for "real" in hardware.
I never understood this point of view. The first time I saw it, I was like, "Brackets. That's slightly different than I'm used to. They look like arrays or something. Oh well. It seems to work." And from then on it was a non-issue. Why do developers get so hung up on this?
False. Publication is no longer enough, the prior art or publication has to be sufficiently well known to practitioners, now. Recent U.S. decision.
Most old Apple ][ people -- the "real" ones who used Integer Basic -- would think correctly! :-)
Another reason: Stylus (FF-only) vs. Stylish (which works on both FF and Chrome, but collects your data).
Maybe so. But fear is rational sometimes. I wouldn't have survived long as an acid dealer without extreme discretion.

Alternatives include conforming to unjust laws, or violating openly and ending up imprisoned. Neither sound like fun. Or, yes, going somewhere else. But in my experience, there's really nowhere to go. So hey.
There is a lot of maturity left in the language for it to grow into. I typically say that it takes 10 years for a language to be mature enough to avoid stupid crap like you describe.
Software 1.0:

The car is parked IF it is on the side of the road AND it hasn't moved in X time, AND ... But not if... etc.

Software 2.0:

The car is parked if the neural net says so.

Okay, if software 2.0 is all about thinking at a higher level, and training the neural net to deal with the details, why is the focus on detail like "is the car parked", or "is it raining", or "where is the lane marker?" Why can't we train "this is good driving" / "this is bad driving".

As a software 1.0 programmer I can see how that seems completely unreasonable, but it does seem to follow the logical direction of the talk.
That post doesn't specify whether the training was fine with single or half precision floating point. Given that it's on the website of an AMD GPU cloud provider, I tend to think they probably used fp32 since it will make vega look better.

Likely exaggerated or even scripted to some extent to pad time for the show/create tension.
If anything, it could be the reverse, it's just too complicated to immediately see. As another counter-obviousness example, living in a cold environment helps you lose weight because your body has to generate more heat all the time. But in real life, people keep their bodies warm with clothes and houses and actually gain weight in winter because they eat more and don't go outside and exercise as much. Just because the weather's cold or hot, doesn't mean people are.
Intel 28-core fantasy vs. AMD 32-core reality
From the article, Cmdr. Bill Speaks, a Navy spokesman, said, “There are measures in place that require companies to notify the government when a ‘cyber incident’ has occurred that has actual or potential adverse effects on their networks that contain controlled unclassified information.”

This does not indicate the data was or was not classified. Now, at the beginning of the article, "The data stolen was of a highly sensitive nature despite being housed on the contractor’s unclassified network. The officials said the material, when aggregated, could be considered classified, a fact that raises concerns about the Navy’s ability to oversee contractors tasked with developing ­cutting-edge weapons."

The article suggest the data, in aggregated form, could be viewed as classified. I am quite sure not all the details have been made public nor will they be for some time. I am sure it will take many years for that true nature of the breach to enter public domain. Submarines are the US primary means of nuclear deterrence and any breach to limit that deterrence might be considered harmful.
> Yes except that the vast majority of the population are part of the businesses in some manner so if you tax all businesses then you are taxing the whole population (or vast majority). And as I said, personal income taxes on wages are actually a business tax. The requirement to provide workers comp, healthcare is a business tax. Businesses are taxed all the time.

There is little merit in name of a tax that it gets to "the majority of people". It can fail equitability super hard because of who pays the economic burden of the tax.

> And those groups of people are financially more powerful collectively than individuals which means those groups of people have a responsibility to help pay for society which they benefit directly from such as roads, power cables, etc.

Sorry, but this is just not economic thinking, not even of the wrong kind. If the burden of a tax is on consumers, your assertion falls hard. If it falls on workers, then you are punishing labor. If it falls on investors you are punishing investment. "Being powerful parts of society" is not an argument for taxation.
> Incidentally, this is the exact same kind of B-completely-replaces-A-for-me language experience I had with JavaScript→TypeScript. Can't think of another.

Indeed. The insight is that virtually all modern states are authoritarian. Some just have better PR. And there are too many assholes in the stateless places.

In the former Soviet Union, there weren't VPNs, Tor and stuff. But there was samizat. And much conversation, fueled by vodka and bad cigarettes. It ended up working well enough. Except that Reagan, Bush and Carter went on to screw Russia so badly that it embraced Putin.
Not OP but if I had to guess, once you have a 'legal right' to submit false information it paves the way for a lot of unwanted behavior and would help the spread of disinformation. If a service is harming you and you're thinking about ways to legally address the issue, why not just go after the service itself and come up with legal repercussions / regulations for their actions?

Your question led me to this NPR article that briefly talks about the legality of lying on the Internet that's worth mentioning (https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/11/15/142356399...). It seems that when you agree to the Terms of Service with services like Facebook, you agree to not spread misinformation or misrepresent yourself (https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards/integrity_authen...).
One possible reason (from the video) might be: because software still has to follow the law. Good driving might imply having to push around the boundaries of the law from time to time, while self-driving machines cannot do that. So they have to hardcode those rules. On the other hand, they should also try to counterbalance human bias as well (protecting only the driver on an accident comes to mind).

Interesting thoughts about Software 2.0 IDEs at the end. A desirable property of such a tool (I think) is having a short feedback loop. However, it seems to me that common changes would include re-labeling a significant portion of your data set (e.g. because you realize you need a new class that you didn't think of when you began labeling), and retraining the model. It seems like transfer learning/fine-tuning can alleviate the latter problem some.

Also an interesting take on how complexity has shifted from architecture selection to labeling data. It makes me wonder if there won't be a "Software 3.0" where most of the complexity shifts from creating a good labeling schema to, say, deciding on a good evaluation metric (I think the buck stops here as I can't imagine an AI silver-bullet automatically determining the evaluation metric). Perhaps unsupervised learning will come to the rescue and free us from the complexities of label schema design.
