> NN's are ~general non-linear functions which polynomials are very poor at representing

This is not true. Deep ReLU/leaky ReLU NN are piecewise polynomial functions generated in a contrived way (a chain of compositions). Even if we assume that piecewise polynomial functions aren't polynomial functions, they are still in the same class of linear functions.

I've worked on several projects where we ended up having to crack that kind of protection - often, with the formal written blessing of the license owners, who were happy to continue to support our use but did not have the ability, resource, or sometimes, even the source code to the product anymore. This may be an option for your customer if they haven't tried it already. Sometimes a few hours of highly skilled RE work, even if you have to contract it out, can pay huge dividends in preventing downtime due to having to source antiquated hardware combinations or maintain broken software. We were even able to move some ancient, unreliable, insecure airgapped Windows 2000 server hardware into Windows Server on AWS where we could back it up, monitor it, and provide high availability and remote access. In my experience this can be the happy medium between "it's working, don't touch it" and "WTF this runs on DOS and the 30 year old machines break all the time"
That's not the way it happened in software. As free implementations come to dominate it's the proprietary products that tend to wither. The existence of ANSI C89 as an open standard didn't result in an explosion of proprietary yet compatible compilers, instead GCC ate the world within a decade.

I mean, sure. You can make a closed-off RISC-V. But I don't see why that's required or "inevitable".

The FDA approved a pot-derived drug for seizures; will the DEA allow it?
Your question reminded me of MAYBE.

I often joke about the MAYBE logical operator with friends. It's based on the concept of three valued logic [1]. It always came up for me in SQL where you have a cell in a result that can be NULL, NOT NULL or a value. I also use it to refer to spaghetti or complex code where the outcome on first glance is "maybe this or maybe that, or maybe something in the middle". Again, I use it as a joke when it is a totally real concept.

It seems like increasingly we are trying to extract approximate answers from machine learning, statistics, etc. because in so many cases it seems difficult to get to TRUE or FALSE for a given hypothesis. We want "MAYBE" with enough accuracy to believe it is mostly TRUE or 100% TRUE (but often 95% confidence - heck even 85% is still amazingly valuable when you aren't sure at all).

I believe there is a programming language that handles this (I forget which one though - anyone?). I know quantum processors potentially could handle it since they have multiple states for a qubit which could represent different states of "in-between" TRUE and FALSE.

Fixed costs are a component of operating costs. I'm an engineer (at least by education) so I might have these terms slightly wrong, but I think the correct way to say this is that EVs have higher fixed costs and lower variable costs - and both of those are part of operating costs.

FWIW, I'm not representing this as a full analysis, just pointing out that "EVs are cheaper to operate when driven by someone as a daily driver" doesn't necessarily mean "EVs are cheaper to operate as an Uber vehicle".
To build upon your comment:

It's not because older technology is inherently better, but it's because if older technology is still relevant, it's survived the "will it be relevant in the future" test once before.
Pretty much every finance site - marketwatch, wsj, cnbc, bloomberg, zerohedge, etc along with the peter schiffs/etc clickbait it.

For some reason, nytimes paywalled clickbait is constantly spammed here.

The inverted yield curve. There are thousands of articles about the inverted yield curve. The death cross. The black swan event. All just voodoo clickbait nonsense.

Also, I love how the nytimes say "wall st is concerned" as if they knew what wall st was thinking and most importantly, they think that wall st is one entity. A lot of players make up wall st.

If any of these people at these news companies knew what wall st was thinking, they wouldn't be working at news companies making pathetic union salaries. They'd worked in finance and retire before they were 25.

Simply put, when the big players want there to be a recession, there will be a recession. Markets are human created and controlled by humans. It isn't a natural entity following the laws of nature.

The invisible hand of the market doesn't mean that the hand controlling the market doesn't exist. It just means that us mere peasants aren't allowed to see it.
This also really highlights the scale of the population explosion over the last 500-ish years!
Most "smart contract vulnerabilities" don't involve the ability to steal them.

Again like I said, I don't know why this article doesn't point out how benign most of these things are.

so for the one example you presented, thats right it isn't a complete solution, and that one example requires its own individual discussion. This article doesn't distinguish about the level of severity of the vulnerability

the reality is that most of these are as benign as any random website not getting 100% in a cursory test
They are only irrelevant if the interested parties actually use those other tools. In most cases, they likely do not have the manpower/will. It's a numbers/energy game, and the more obstructions to illegal spying there are the better we can assume our total privacy is.

Bitconnect: Police Suspecting Murder of CEO’s Wife
I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do to prevent a financial collapse across the nation...

I’ve made tons of money from the usual FANG suspects in the past few years, but it’s all unrealized gain. No doubt I’ve thought about selling off every year, but chose instead to continue riding it out, always wondering how much it’s going to take for me to be satisfied.

On days like today when FANG stocks are getting beat up, I wonder how much longer this can really go. Every year that passes I take more seriously any sign that suggests these stocks can no longer defy gravity.

> With the same right you can argue, that NNs are eassentially fourier series, since under very mild conditions they approximate each other as well.

Actually that's very wrong. Some classes of NN (step function, ReLU, etc) do define piecewise polynomial functions, albeit in a contrived way when compared with simply generating a spline. So the functional space is exactly the same.

I agree. One of the most amazing things about watching this project unfold is just how quickly it went from 0 to 100 with minimal overhead. It's amazing to watch companies and individuals push the boundaries of what is possible with just the push of a button.
See also: the hacker's diet, which is basically this plan writ large. https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/

What clicked for me with this plan was that you can automatically adjust your caloric intake on the basis of how well you're tracking your goal weight loss rate. You don't even have to count calories well: if you're undercounting, the system corrects for that by telling you to lower your intake goal.

Realizing that it was mathematically impossible not to succeed if I just followed the simple steps was the spark I needed to get started.

That's exactly it. Plus add in all of the Spring Boot stuff (autodiscovery/autowiring, behaviour that gets added simply because a .jar is on the classpath, etc etc) and you end up with a pretty large footprint for a pretty tiny app. For reference too, the deployment artifacts with Go are ~5MB vs. a 70MB .war file.

We've also just used really simple packages (the built-in net/http server for Go vs. embedded Tomcat, gorilla/mux vs. the Spring class annotations for routing), and I suspect that dramatically cuts down on the footprint too.

I've just been assuming Google would bring Dalvik to RISC-V. They're already porting Go and some other things. If they were to release Android for RISC-V it could be devastating to ARM.

Nearly everything about working in modern corporations is terrible, so a good paycheck and not-too-stressful working conditions are close to the best that most of us can hope for.

Of course, there are those who make their way into the small clique of people at any tech company that get to do impactful, fulfilling work. But any given person is unlikely to be one of them, and if you want to be one of them you usually have to kill yourself working crazy hours first. (And probably afterwards too.)
My bet is on pursuing everything that gets us closer to decarbonization, but it appears there is the most potential in the immediate future for fission. The challenge there is of course economics, which is why I think we need a carbon tax to add the future impact of climate change into our accounting for various technologies.

>To get IO that can saturate a 10G costs around 20k

Assuming 10G Ethernet is 8b/10b like a lot of other protocols, that's 1GB/s over 10G Ethernet.

Here's a $130 SSD with 500GB of storage:
https://www.amazon.com/Mushkin-PILOT-500GB-Internal-MKNSSDPL...

That's 2600 MB/s read speeds. Or more than double your 10G Ethernet.

------------

RAID0 8 of them together with ASRock's M2. Quad Ultra, and you've got $1040 of SSDs + $200 for the 2x Quad Ultra cards, or just $1200 for 20GB/s read/write speeds. More than enough to saturate any network I'm aware of.

In fact, someone has already done this: http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/eight-nvme-m2-ssds-in-raid-...

They used a higher-end NVM.e SSD and measured 28GB/s (that's capital B, gigaBYTES) on the Threadripper + x399 motherboard.

I agree that 2500x48hrs is probably a reasonably cost to pay for these kind of sweet results. But it is a bit prohibitively expensive for an ML hobbyist to try to replicate in their own free time. I wonder if there is some way to do this w/o all the expensive compute. Pre-trained models is one step towards this, but so much of the learning(for the hobbyist) comes from struggling to get your RL model off the ground in the first place.

WhatsApp is really a multi-faceted platform in India. It's used by schools to send instructions to parents, used by parents in group chats, used by college students to discuss their classes, used for complaints to the authorities in some cases, used by authorities to broadcast messages to people in some cases...and it also happens to be the premier platform for spreading hoaxes, scams, junk forwards and fake news.

I usually tell people not to believe anything that comes on WhatsApp, because that's how low the general quality of conversation on it happens to be when it's looked at in totality.

The Indian government has been curbing free speech and attempting to increase its control on speech over time. People have been wrongly arrested and punished for liking something on Facebook, forwarding something on WhatsApp (that those in power don't like), etc. These incidents only serve to add more fuel to the government and many citizens who actually support higher control and monitoring of all conversations.

In the last four years of this central government, the rhetoric of "you don't have to worry if you have nothing to hide" has been doing the rounds among many citizens who would otherwise not support such measures if some other parties were in power. It's as if they can't see the issues or don't want to see the issues.

If not for the Supreme Court, which runs on its own pace and rhythm, India would've become an authoritarian "democracy". The only hope, IMO, lies with the judiciary. No political party is different on these lines. Whoever comes to power wants more control and power.

Without better education and awareness (with even the so called educated people falling hook, line and sinker to fake news), there's not much hope. It's worrisome how much ammunition these incidents provide to the government to curb speech.

P.S.: India has a restricted form of free speech, where vague terms like public order, affecting the sentiments of others on religious grounds, and such can be legally used to deny speech and also punish people arbitrarily.

P.P.S: India doesn't yet have a data privacy law either. The very concept of privacy was laughed at for quite sometime, until August 2017 when a constitutional bench of the Supreme Court declared that the constitution, through various articles, does grant privacy as a fundamental right.

Isn't metadata, practically speaking, a subset of content?

Importantly to how we think about communication, no.

Metadata is the signature that accompanies or encapsulates content, viewable to the world. You can completely conceal content, through encryption for example, but you can't completely conceal metadata.

In other words there must be a physical exchange of energy somewhere (communication), and metadata tells you something about how the exchange happened, irrespective and ignorant of what the content is.
