Sailing By, not 'away'...

It is there to pad out the schedule and help people to find Radio 4 on a crowded night-time dial. Same with the National Anthem that follows. Even the 'pips' are there for this type of calibration, a tuning in to a British person's 'Britishness'.

The way that the BBC is deeply woven into the British establishment and armed forces is obvious yet not so obvious. The BBC is a spin-off of British Forces Broadcasting Service, as per 'Better Call Saul'/'Breaking Bad' some content overlaps but the 'producers' are one and the same.

You should never believe that the BBC is independently funded and free from some capitalist proprietor controlling what you think, it really is an organ of the British military industrial complex. Anyone 'socialist' gets weeded out by the very real 'Room 101'.

Radio 4 is the true voice of establishment, and this differs slightly from the clowns of the day that happen to be in parliament. If you listen carefully then you can glean facts on BBC Radio 4 that are not presented on the TV news or written to paper, an off-hand comment here or there on an odd-hour Radio 4 program sneaks through when the rest of the world are self-censoring themselves during a crisis.

When BBC Radio 4 rolls over and defaults to Number 10 propaganda without being honest, e.g. asserting that Russians are poisoning people in the UK without any 'alleged' or 'suspected' style words to distance fiction from fact, then that is when the folks in the submarine should go for the envelope...

Good idea but I am not sure if €200 is a little expensive for this kind of service.
Some commenters here mentioned they may have setup the test incorrectly and that may be, but I think the problem this highlights most is that technology used improperly, especially by law enforcement can have major ramifications and consequences. Is the contractor that makes software for your local department going to follow best practices and have the algorithm audited by experts? Will they release the code? Those are real considerations for any program that has the potential to help ruin someone’s life.

It also possibly highlights the fact that algorithms are not immune to bias when they are designed by humans. Obviously I don’t think this bias is intentional, but so much of it isn’t and happens anyway.

Also, I believe developers on the Play Store can set flags for device compatibility anyway, no? Or is that limited to specs and OS version? It makes sense that if an application is known to not work properly on a given device, it might throw the "not compatible with your device" message on the app listing.

The fact that they still offer it as a direct download shows that they aren't solely trying to stop people from using it, but rather they know of the issues and don't want to claim full compatibility.

"Games marketed themselves into a corner by talking about themselves as being something for dudes, by dudes. If an industry segments itself to white dudes of a certain age and a certain income bracket, it’s going to reach a saturation point.

"But that marketing message, for a long time, was that this is the most important group, and those consumers have largely bought into that. Now [that] those companies are looking at other markets, there’s a pushback from that group.

"They are saying, “If we are the most important people to you, why are you suddenly worried about these other people?” If that’s important to how you see yourself, if you’re being told you’re actually not that important, it’s going to create some emotional backlash."
Well, another consolation is that if you're forgetting it, you might not be needing it... so it's not so bad to forget some things.

Many people are addicted to caffeine; but how many steal to buy coffee?
I think a fun thought exercise is finding the fine line between tech and guns/alcohol/cars. You cannot sue a gun/car/alcohol manufacturer if their product is used to injure someone because it functioned as designed but was used maliciously. How does that legal precedent work when extrapolated to tech and something like facial recognition? If it worked exactly as designed and we know it has a margin of error (or can be used improperly and have disastrous results, like a car or gun), could Amazon or a tech administering it be liable for someone falsely imprisoned?
Companies can develop big, bulky WASM-only framework with graphic primitives & so on, very much like Java applets, and effectively kill the openness of the web standards.

> have been reverse engineering

Reverse engineering some HTML is not difficult. Minified JS is much more difficult. A 50MB blob of WAMS is just too time consuming.

> The web promised to be free and open and that had nothing to do with whether or not you could read the javascript.

On the contrary, making it 100x times more difficult to understand what a website is doing is terrible for security, compatibility, inclusiveness (good luck making a braille terminal for WASM-only websites or using them on a very slow uplink)
It's a problem of timing and geography. Eastern Orthodox falls under the Christian religious umbrella, but it's very different under the surface demonstrating how western culture has influenced Christianity.

The Protestant Reformation was a religious movement, but ended up importing a lot of western beliefs into Christianity. Democracy for example is a western belief, Christianity is closely tied to Kings.
Actually, just a table would be sufficient.
Given software/computers are part of curriculum now, i would not be surprised if we have some five year old already understanding this.
For stuff like this to be used by most people (that is to say dystopically and objectively wrong, like in a hiring process) we definitely don't need any sort of rigorous research. They already have those Myers-Briggs tests that have no actual basis in reality, not to mention the kinds of hoops you jump through to get your CV read that make no sense. The trouble is not (as far as I'm concerned) that this information will be used by competent, levelheaded scientists. The trouble is that everyone else might start using it.
> Not beyond its initial cause. If free will doesn't exist (in the universe), then nothing that happens after our birth can influence it.

This is false. If the sun were to explode right now it would influence the earth. Neither of them have free will.

Even in a completely deterministic universe, where we could predict to the second when the sun would explode from initial conditions, its explosion still influences the earth.

You're mixing influence with choice.
The free will as it defined in this context means the ability of an entity to do truly __random__ choices not dependent on the surrounding environment or their causal history.

It does not mean that they can intelligently freely choose between the options. Any cognitive mechanism that does reasoned decisions is not free. It can just have a random or arbitrary[1] element in it.

I like how Einstein never mixed free will with true randomness. Used the better metaphor: throwing the dice.

---

[1]: What I mean with arbitrary is something that derives choices that are not relevant to the decision decision. For example pseudorandomness.

Apple isn’t ‘afraid’ or ‘lazy’. SD cards sound like a good idea, but the problem is phone manufacturers can’t guarantee the quality or class of a card, which can bog down the whole phone or cause corruption of files. Apple being typically Apple wanted total control over the performance of their phone, and thus the iPhones never gained an SD card slot.

What capabilities do you see WASM adding over asm.js, beside speed and ease of integration (e.g. built-in linking and parsing)?
I don't know if this adds anything to your comment;
The input of a program is neither predetermined nor random.

If there is an input "out of our reality", then our reality would not be predetermined nor would it be random. (Which makes sense for the simulation hypothesis, which I enjoy having that conversation with my colleagues)

Get a grip, Cryptos can and have lost 20% of their value overnight. Compared to the value cash could lose over a year of inflation, it's not even close. Not a great argument.
Main issue is when you manage a TON of network devices.

What's easier - connecting to something your OOB management network (10.10.1.0/24) - the fw is 10.10.1.1, the switch is 10.10.1.11, the 5 servers are 10.10.1.21-26, etc etc...

That's a bit better than typing 2200:Hb43:4432:FE39:019H:F3Z6:3438:2101 etc...

I realize internal dns solves that, but that's a lot of extra dns records to maintain - which ALSO is an issue if your organization uses HSTS and preloads subdomains - you must have have a trusted certificate on each management interface, otherwise the browser simply won't let you manage those things over a GUI - or, of course, being your own CA and loading your intermediate and/or root into every deployed box on your network of every person that could potentially have to manage those devices over HTTPS.

That's literally my only issue with ipv6, in all honesty.
Thanks - I'm assuming that every enterprise could potentially have their own process/infrastructure of which we'll have to decide how we can fulfill?

Is it common to say we can serve enterprises and then after contract negotiations, build the deployment specifically for the client?

I've seen virtual appliances, physical appliances, zipped files, etc. but not sure what's the most common or easiest method. Seems like there isn't an easiest/standard method and it differs client by client.
I'm a user of several Electron apps and they are very nice for me too.
Its good to see some discussion about this. I'm currently maintaining an open source automated speech transcription library (https://github.com/persephone-tools/persephone) that's being used in some research and we are extremely concerned about enabling reproducible research. Because the system is neural net based (Tensorflow) we have gone to effort beyond just open sourcing the code to make sure that people can rerun experiments. Reading this and the comments makes me aware that there might be sources of nondeterminism or other issues I may not be aware of. What issues should we be aware of for making sure that people can replicate results that were trained earlier? Are there any resources that discuss how people have gone about doing this? Any advice would be much appreciated
Arcentry – Create beautiful cloud and open-source diagrams
No we don't, and neither would a society without free will.

Whether something was done by accident or intent has nothing to do with free will or not. An entity without free will can still compare two options, realize the consequence for both and choose an action.

If that action is illegal in the eyes of society that signifies intent. But if the action was a mistake (perhaps the entity miscalculated or didn't have enough information to do it correctly) it will then be treated as a mistake or carelessness.
Thanks very much. I'll have a read.

Line of sight wouldn't be an issue, range and aiming would be the problem. The GPS satellites are in a bunch of orbital planes so a weapon wouldn't try to rendezvous with each target, it would need to hit them from another orbit. The solution would be to launch the weapon in a lower orbit and just wait until each target comes within range.

If aiming a laser accurately is too tough of a challenge (probably is) then as an alternative you would need 6 weapons and launch each one in one of the 6 orbital planes that the GPS constellation uses and just have a little bit lower orbit than the GPS satellites so it would come around and catch up to each satellite but not be travelling so fast as to make accurately aiming impossible.

No, not by a long shot. Remember how much time it took for an elaborate Flash animation to load? Sometimes you had to wait for more than a minute before anything even rendered on the page.
And Java applets.. were a joke. A Frankenstein approach to embedding applications in the browser.
By contrast, Wasm IS Javascript, even if the source code might be from another language, it's a target for compilation. It will only be able to do whatever the browser allows it to do, ie access Web APIs, work with the DOM or just do computations that don't output anything UI-wise.
This is not the return of badly executed and badly thought-out plugins, this is "native applications in the browser" done right.

I was raised on the inverted pyramid, too, and like it. However, the benefit of easy scanning was secondary to its main design driver, manual (and literal) cut and past. They needed to guarantee that they could cut a story basically anywhere to fit the layout, and the continuation would be on a different page, with more ads. The “internet ramble” is also designed with ad revenue in mind; the reader has to read and scroll through ads to get to the part they actually care about. Its indulgent meandering is maddening, and degrades journalism and storytelling.
I think it really does boil down to the license: Apple absolutely hate copyleft, so they poured money into Clang.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, and your success with self-experimentation. It's tragic that a similar protocol is not a first-line treatment for so-called "mental illness" (a term which should be entirely discarded [edit: the most observable symptoms are behavioral but the patient's condition is a conglomeration of contributing causes]).

Reading your comment, the notion of 'biological stress' came to mind. Wikipedia redirects to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(biology) (the subsections #Psychology and #Psychological_concepts are especially applicable to your comment).

The ambiguity in defining this phenomenon
was first recognized by Hans Selye
(1907–1982) in 1926. In 1951 a commentator
loosely summarized Selye's view of stress as
something that "...in addition to being
itself, was also the cause of itself, and
the result of itself".[30][31]

First to use the term in a biological
context, Selye continued to define stress as
"the non-specific response of the body to
any demand placed upon it". As of 2011
neuroscientists such as Bruce McEwen and
Jaap Koolhaas believe that stress, based on
years of empirical research, "should be
restricted to conditions where an
environmental demand exceeds the natural
regulatory capacity of an organism".

Dr. Gabor Maté quotes Selye in his book about addiction, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: "It may be said without hesitation that for man the most important stressors are emotional."

How Technology Grows: A Restatement of Definite Optimism
> The ability of researchers not versed in the subtleties of mathematics to help develop models contradicts Wigner’s ‘unreasonable effectiveness’ argument. It tells us that people not trained in mathematics are also able to give deep insights to the subject.

This would seem to be consistent with the notion of "common sense" that it's possible even for an average person to be able to ask meaningful questions and cast doubt on subjects they're not specifically trained in.
I worked on a 3d web based modeling app in my last job (Autodesk) that was based on asm.js. (and this was a legit solid modeler with heavy CPU usage - not a toy). It was basically 50% speed compared to the desktop version, which isn't ideal but totally viable. WASM is definitely welcome but you could do the same things in 2015 with asm.js. Honestly I think the biggest selling point is decreased download size. That was our big pain point with asm.js
On the other hand if you want to judge whether it would work on 300 million people with 95% confidence then running on 535 members of congress with 80% confidence might be a good approximation

For Leela Zero it's basically just the computing resources, the software is done using an abstract but openly-specified GPU execution system OpenCL, similar (as far as I understand) to an instruction set architecture (ISA).

Whether the abstract execution system is implemented in a proprietary or free way is a separate issue. For example these days it's hard to execute x86 instructions without running some sort of proprietary microcode and/or management engine. For comparison, OpenCL has many competing implementations, including the free open source MESA graphics drivers.
