Ya that's kind of an interesting question. With Moore's law starting to approach it's physical limitations it would seem AGI wouldn't be feasible with current algorithms.

Not to mentions as your describing.. those "millions" of layers of narrow AI's sounds like impossible amount of work to do..

I don't think very many machine learning experts really believe that those techniques will lead to AGI.

> Depends on what you think you're teaching. Are you teaching computer science, or are you teaching software engineering?

> But CS departments think they're computer science departments, even though they mostly are located in the college of engineering.

I used to think this is true in the form you presented, but now I feel it's really a more relaxed form that's true - CS departments in universities think they're still in universities, not in glorified vocational schools. They try to teach you more than the immediate needs of your likely job, so that you understand the context of what you're working with, and are exposed to more powerful ways of thinking.

(I mean, 99% of the time, your typical JavaScript-slinger doesn't need to know what an "algorithm" is and what can be solved with one. These days, a popular language, StackOverflow and open-source libraries are enough to do acceptable levels of work. However, some extra theoretical knowledge will help tackle more complicated problems, solve them better, and will enable one to do something more challenging if they want to leave the web/CRUDsphere.)

Related: we now have "vocational schools" for programming too. They're called "bootcamps", for some reason.

Tangential: there's a feedback loop between workers, universities and employees in every industry. Progress of the "industry standard" must come from somewhere. If all the new people are being exposed to is Java(Script), the industry will forever keep being stuck on Java(Script). So I feel it's good that at least some people in some universities try to teach above the level required by the industry.
Lots of good stuff in this thread. Two books I haven't seen are Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas. The only thing is, you can't Google them, for risk of spoilers.

Also, the movie based on Cloud Atlas is not great.

How is Arch "more stable" than Ubuntu LTS?

How is maintaining an Arch installation "so much smoother"? The user must carefully review a PKGBUILD every time any installed AUR package needs to be updated[1], which will happen frequently because the user will need many AUR packages to make up for the fact that there are only 10,200 Arch packages[2], much less than Ubuntu's 81,563 packages[3].

Funny how HN comments are so full of complaints about practices that inhibit businesses our system is actually designed for. What makes coops and communes so easy?

Communist Manifesto isn’t a work anyone seriously defends. Marx didn’t even defend it. It’s a history scrap; significant by contextual events. If you read Marx’s seminal work, you’d not honestly raise such a moot point.

or the drivers form unions, maybe?
This thread is so confusing to me. Not because of complex differences in a language theory, but on choices that developers do follow due to experience in ‘the past’, regarding light threads. I understand that rust has no stdlib, that go has, and that js just doesn’t have switchable stacks. But why does almost everyone inclined to async-await in general? The answers I got in other threads (not on this exact question, but along the lines) is that async-await makes runloop-tearing points explicit. But is it really so important? How does a regular js guy manage a state incapsulation in-between their futures’ callback invocations? All the code I see is then-then-catch and it doesn’t account for, well, asynchronous effects like races; it just occurs naturally by not modifying other chains’ states. Why not just go with seamless coroutines then? Why making functions explicitly async? (Or sync, if that matters.)

Maybe I’m misunderstanding something, but since people here are so fluent in concurrent execution, can someone point me to an in-depth explanation why are light-threads, coroutines, current-continuations, etc. so opposed by async keyword (and futures in general) today?

I have some experience with low-level runlooping via coroutines in luajit and understand it to the point to be able to create asynchronous system, consisting of mix of os threads and coroutines (and it worked smoothly until our project was closed due to company’s external issues). I can say, I never felt the need of something different, neither met the ‘complexity’ of everything-can-yield rule. And the possibilities that open, i.e. scalability of simple code around io and cpu cores is just outstanding. I am genuinely curiuos what’s so great (or different) in futures, which seem to me, for now, just poor man’s light threads implemented via lexical closure overhead along with syntactic snow, running on a single-core cpu. This topic seems to be so narrow that modern google is too shallow to answer that. I believe there should be a LtU or similar thread that discusses it in classic depth. Thanks in advance!
I'm guessing OP meant the top readily available model and not the customised one with everything maxed out.
DeDeo's argument seems to be a philosophical one:

If you want to build machines that monitor people and sell them more ads faster, go for it. If you want to find problem where you can take a working-class job, model the man or woman who does it, and build a net to put them out of a job without compensation, be my guest.

A major divisive narrative I see in ML/AI is whether philosophical questions as to the ends of the work are worthy of time.

This is starkest in the debate about providing ML based solutions to governments. Some group says "we're not on board philosophically" the others shrug and move on.

I don't think this is much different than any other engineering/science discipline honestly.

So I think DeDeo, as part of academia is trying to say: Academia has knowledge as it's ultimate goal, corporations just have profit and product. So therefore:

"But if you want, at some point in your flourishing career, with your mind and your soul, to join the two-thousand year old parade of intellectual progress, you are not going to do it at Google."

The strongly negative response, I think is in part because it's derisive of corporate work, but also because there seems to be a bias for the idea that "I'm not interested in the philosophy around why I am doing this work"

Well, differential equations makes control theory. Write a system of differential equations, come up with an iterative scheme to solve it and there you begin to see the idea of feedback.
One of the main reasons for the anime groups obsessing about the comparisons is that it's a lot easier to measure final quality on anime, with it's clearly-delineated artwork, instant transitions, and (comparatively) simple backgrounds.

I'm curious just how true it is that Moore's law is starting to approach physical limitations. I just recently listened to some of Feynman's speeches collected in [1]. One of them was about how to place all of the works of an encyclopedia onto the tip of a pin.

Did it cover anything we couldn't do today? No. But that was the point. Just using a somewhat naive view of the physical matter that you would be putting something on, it was possible to go quite dense. Imagine if we started going even denser.

Do I suspect we are approaching limits? Certainly. Question is more of just how much further we can go. And will we need a dramatic shift of any sort before we could realize some extra distance?

Historically they were. CVS was originally posted to 'comp.sources.unix', for example.

If you discovered how this hacker spread virus program and you have URL, (ROP)
what information can you derive from this existing information? The URL contains the suspicious pic file now deleted.

I know significant amount members here are also Reddit members, so I don't have high hopes. I'm posting this with very doubtful mind of a chance of one in a million.

Also, if the hacker is not a sophisticated one, how likely is it to detect the hack? Is it easy or is it still difficult because they might use some high-end program? I doubt it, because it won't give them any benefit? Still it was malicious; after I replaced hard disk, they attempted (twice) to install another virus program by posting things that contain pic files. First I ignored it because I knew, second I clicked on it to see what'll happen.

And after I exposed myself to another hack, not only the hacker knew, but other people knew it too - those people who don't have direct connections with hackers. Is there any open screen designated for me on Reddit?
Perhaps a better question ... how long is your situation going to last? Academia offers stability to an extent .. say post tenure. Industry does not imho.

Not everyone is particularly fit. Some are old, some don't have time to exercise, some choose not to, some don't have the choice and some others are and just prefer the convenience.

> Why does the (likely) most expensive full-size computing device need to lose weight vs everything else, especially when it's infringing on the actual user experience of working with it?

I think is largely a generational issue. I bet there's a large swath of young professionals right now who grew up with ultraportables like the macbook air but are looking for just a bit more performance right now. These people are also likely to be more accustomed to typing on shallower and lighter keyboards (including virtual and mechanical) so the change won't be as big a change for them than people who grew up with typewriters and Model Ms.
The exact same thing happened to me. Now I have a big tower PC for serious work (32 cores, 64 Gb RAM, dual 1080) plus a nice laptop (XPS 13), for a combined cost of less than this MBP.

While the Linux software ecosystem is not quite as smooth as macOS, I have found it to be quite adequate for my work.
I would say probably not, since there were only 4 variations of a simple substitution cypher, e.g. you could encrypt some text with option 1-4, and to decrypt you picked option 1-4... i.e. anyone could decrypt using the barbie typewriter and a maximum of 4 attempts... not really secure at all.

While I haven't missed classic USB (thanks to a dongle with old USB slots) I have however wished I still had a magsafe power cord.

It also doesn't help that the dongle I bought is a multi port one (ethernet, USB-A, HDMI and others) and for whatever reason, using it on battery noticably reduces battery life.

It was an order to protect his family from retribution from violent psychopaths that have in the past murdered not just informants / plea deal recipients, but their entire family in the most bloody way imaginable. I would not be surprised if the headline in a few days is about his wife and children dying in ways unfit to print. And it would be irresponsible journalism of the LA Times that made it happen.

PUBG does require very high specs, but afaik fortnite has much lower requirements (owing to a competent development team, fewer polygons, and smaller textures) and will run on any potato.

So, for anomaly detection, before evaluating the model at x, might want to know if x would be an anomaly in the training data x_i, i = 1. 2, ..., n. Sure, x is likely a vector with several to many components.

An anomaly detector should be at least as good as a statistical hypothesis test.

So, for the null hypothesis, assume that x is distributed like the training data.

Okay, except we don't really know the distribution of the training data.

"Ma! Help! What am I supposed to do now???"

So, we need a statistical hypothesis test that is both multi-dimensional and distribution-free.

Let's, see: In ergodic theory we consider transformations that are measure preserving .... Yup, can have a group (as in abstract algebra) of those, sum over the group, ..., and calculate the significance level of the test and, thus, get a real hypothesis test, multi-dimensional and distribution free. For some of the details of the test, there are lots of variations, i.e., options, knobs to turn.

Detection rate? Hmm. Depends ...! Don't have data enough to use the Neyman-Person approach, but in a curious but still relevant sense the detection rate is the highest possible.

I just call this work statistics, but maybe it would also qualify according to some definitions as machine learning. But my work is not merely heuristic and has nothing to do with regression analysis or neural networks. So, again, my work is an example that there can be more to machine learning than empirical curve fitting.

So, before applying an empirically fitted model at x, want x to be distributed like the training data and at least want an hypothesis test not to reject the null hypothesis that x is so distributed.

More generally, if are looking for anomalies in the data, say, a rapid real time stream, when see an anomaly, investigate further. In this case, an anomaly detector is a first cut filter, an alarm, to justify further investigation.

Looking back on what I did, I suspect that more could be done and that some of what I did could be done better.

Of course, my interests now are my startup. Yes, there the crucial core is some applied math I derived.

Maybe I'll use my anomaly detection work for real-time monitoring for zero-day problems in security, performance, failures, etc. in my server farm.

One of my favorites is based on a similar premise, Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds. I like most of his work but for short stand-alone stories this one stands out. Reynolds works are hard sci-fi, mostly sticking within the known laws of physics which present some interesting problems for the characters.

It is an incorrect ruling, since it directly contradicts precedent.

This sort of thing often slows down promotions into higher courts (as it should — lower courts should not routinely waste everyone’s time and money with rulings that will surely be overturned on appeal).
You mean it would be more fragile than the keyboard?
Note sure if I fully grasped your quesiton but here it goes.

Light threads and stackfull coroutines require stack allocation. That is their cost and it is unbearable for system-level language priding itself in zero-cost abstractions. Eg. AFAIK, it's the main reason that is making Go calling C code slow.

Also, (again AFAIK) Rust stackless coroutines and futures compile down to state machines, so I don't understand the "lexical closure overhead".

There's nothing forcing futures to be "running on a single-core cpu" in Rust, since Rust can reason about thread-safety.

Personally, after couple of months of using JS at dayjob, I very dislike JS (as I thought I would), but I love coroutines/yield. I think they will be glorious in Rust: they will allow writting reasonably nice code with an amazing performance.
