Just like the British benefited from the East India company, the US benefits from destabilisation on the other side of the world. Eventually the world fights back. Every time a western bomb kills 100 civilians, of their 400 relatives 4 turn into extremists with a (legitimate) grievance against the west. Doesn't matter if the western bomb killed a terrorist ringleader, it's not helping.

Having worked on procedural music for some time, I really can't see how simple Markov-style approaches like this are likely to have interesting results. You can certainly create sequences of notes that have statistical similarities to the notes in a training set, but we don't hear statistical similarities, we hear phrases and refrains and call-and-responses and whatnot - higher-order structures that markov models seem really ill-suited to.

It strikes me as analogous to generating text from an ML model trained on a bunch of short stories. A short snippet of the results may sound convincing, but obviously a whole story generated that way would be gibberish. I think the same sort of thing is happening in the example songs - any given chord change or three-note phrase may sound musical, but over the course of several measures it's not distinguishable from random notes.
Same here. After getting bombarded with extermist-ish content after watching some random socio-politics video, now I use incognito for lots of stuff I watch on YT that's not tech/science/unpolarized-art/business.

When you say real time, you really mean an EMS system. These have traditional powerflow applications that use something like the Newton-Raphson method, SCADA applications that bring in data from equipment in the field (~4 second data), state-estimator applications that combine traditional powerflow with weighting from the SCADA data, and a Contingency Analysis (does N-1 loss of equipment simulations). Those are the core apps and the US has several vendors ranging from Siemens, Alstom (now GE), GE, OSI...etc.

In power system planning people use PSS/E, PowerWorld, PowerGem TARA, and a variety of other loadflow tools for powerflow and N-1. They don't generally use much real time data and instead use models ranging from 1 year to 20 years in the future. There are also another dozen vendors here selling specialized products that do everything from Voltage Stability to Transient Stability to optimization of topology and fault analysis. The breadth is very wide. You might use multiple vendors with some degree of product overlap because you like vendor A's powerflow functionality and graphics, while vendor B has the best dynamics on the market.

I'll have to check out the links you've sent as I've never heard of these two products and I try to keep my ear to the ground, but it is a huge software market and I don't monitor Europe's market as well.

Edit:

Just checked out your opal-RT links and yes that is real time power systems software, just not the kinds of real time analysis I typically use and think of. This seems closer to PMUs (phasor measurement units) which instead of 4-second SCADA data use something to the tune of 60 samples a second (that's a lot of data).
I'd be more worried about getting stabbed by the average low empathy xenophobe than the average asylum seeker fleeing violence. Should we remove xenophobes from Germany? No?

Vetting people and holding them accountable for their actions is one thing, but closing borders outright to me is just hysteria. I doubt such cruelty is going to make the world a safer place in the long term, either. The average person remembers who was kind in their time of need and who was not.

In the mid 20th century far left groups were responsible for the majority of violent extremism. Wikipedia says as much as 75% [0] If you look beyond the US there are plenty of examples of left wing extremism.

I point this out because it seems like you are implying that some how one ideology is inherently violent while the other is not which isn't true and that kind of thinking often leads to rationalizing bad behavior in the name of one's unassailable virtuous and noble cause.

You've just neatly described my experience (and naivety), because I've always dropped ICMP and wondered why ipv6 never worked. In all of the articles I've read on getting ipv6 to work, this had never been explained.
(Thanks for your reply. This is the first time I post in Hacker News.)

My applications are some small standalone utility programs.

For example, the function of one of Android apps is to create text time stamps.

Another example, 2 years ago, a client hires me to write an AutoHotKey script. The function of that script is to "create shortcut on the fly."

Normally, to define a new shortcut-expansion pair (aka hotstring), a user needs to open his/her AutoHotKey script file, edit it, close it, and finally reload it using the AutoHotKey program.

With my script, a user can add a new shortcut-expansion pair without leaving the original program he/she is using.

I am considering packaging that script to an exe file, which might be useful for users who do not use AutoHotKey.
The way I see it plenty people s seem to live in what The Bhagavad Gita (a book on yoga and consciousness) describes as 'animal nature', in that they do not necessarily know that they're thinking and that they are constantly moved by the thought stream. They are very reactionary to stimuli.

I do not know how to scientifically quantify or test this but it is a reported by scores of people and can be understood experientially.

> what does it say about us humans that we fall for progressively more extreme stuff? Perhaps that few people actually hold balanced views and nowadays a compromise is looked down upon and a mark of a weak character?

I was thinking about this recently. I doubt that it’s primarily an inability to compromise (though that exists when the politics are tied to tribal sense of identity), but more that each of our personal Overton windows is defined by about as many binary bits as we have slots in our working memory — if you can write an article with the title “Five Time My Side Was Epic” or “Five Times The Other Side Was Evil” then you can be blind to the mistakes of your own and the goodness of the others.

Might even be less than working memory, because we sometimes double-count.

I think weather is a difficult subject for apps.

A bit like calendar or to do lists, aside from the very basics, everyone wants something different. And people don’t like paying in general, but all the more so if they feel their needs are not completely met.

I remember PocketCast founder explaining they started iOS dev with a weather app for Australia because none really worked for their country.

This is also evident in all the local apps in every country. DarskSky you mention isn’t even available internationaly for instance. A flurry if low quality but free and mildly niche apps seems inevitable.
Absolutely. Those numbers are peanuts in Youtube scale. Popular Youtube videos regularly get 10m+ views. It's similar to back when WSJ went digging for days and managed to find 2-3 racist videos with 10k views, then refreshed them until a Coca-Cola ad showed, to screenshot it. Most of these are manipulating reality to drive their narrative. I've yet to see a proper scientific and thorough example of this actually happening.
> The major IRT lines save for the 7 operate mixed fleets of NTT and R62/A equipment, none of which share door positions IIRC

Do they not? The R62 and R142 cars are both the same number of doors and of the same length [1] [2], and the moving platforms at some stations would, I think, require the doors be in approximately the same spot, no?

> The Eastern Division still uses old rolling stock like R42s from time to time.

Yes, but the R42 and R143/R160 have the same overall length and door count (and the spacing appears to be the same as well) [3] [4]

As an aside: it’s quite frustrating that the measurements given on the datasheets are of varying frequency.

Fault isn't necessarily exclusive, and drivers of the front vehicle in a rear end collision may be at (legal) fault. [0]

More importantly for discussion of an automated system shadow braking, however, fault of drivers based on negligence (or more serious mental states, like recklessness) is a separate concept from fault of manufacturers for product defects (which is based on strict liability, not negligence, and therefore bars to liability based on negligence of the injured party due to contributory or modified comparative negligence theories would not generally apply; liability might be barred on a theory of superseding intervening cause, but that would require the intervening cause to be unforseeable—too close freeway following is not so rare as to be an unforseeable intervening cause and thus would not usually limit recovery on a strict liability product defect claim.)

If we're going to include that then you need to take into account the costs of the other side like the trail of tears, Tuskegee experiments, bananna republics backed by the CIA, the attack on greenwood Tulsa, Cuba having giant sanctions on them that destroyed their economy, etc.

I'm perfectly fine discussing the outcome of systems, or the individual aspect of systems, but you can't compare the net outcome of system A to the individual problems of system B

Edit: before anyone questions what my hisses might be they are as follows. I believe that capitalist US ended up better on a whole than communist USSR for the betterment of humanity. I also believe its inaccurate to different aspects of their systems and pretend one way was wholly better than the other

People died in Natzy camps because other people took the position of "it's not my problem"... An action is extremist or not depending on consequences and context.

I know, as a fellow European, it's easier to not care when the people suffering happen to come from places like the Middle East or Africa. But this is just a bias to overcome.

Probably real solution is that Western European countries actually update their police and legal systems to the point that they can handle the problem of more and harder to "herd" people. If there really are "no-go zones" in a country, then imo that's just police incompetence/complacency - they are paid from your tax money especially to prevent stuff like this from happening. More police and more prisons (and an upgraded legal machine to promptly prosecute thieves and rapists etc.) doesn't sound good, but it's kind of what you need to keep a safe society in the context of wandering masses of people with different values that need to be coerced a little into accepting democratical and liberal values...

No.

It's the non-factorability of primes that is important.
Facebook attempted such a thing already, and was caught exploiting it. VPN apps for the purpose of traffic control and monitoring are dangerous as they rely on some other party. I could do the same thing without ever needing a service for that. Setting up a monitored VPN gateway is no rocket science for me, I could do that, but the folks using crappy apps couldn't. And I would still need a way to map traffic to specific apps to identify unnecessary/malicious traffic. There is no other way as only via the internal iOS firewall. I wonder how the team behind that report managed to do that what they claim they did.
You can look at his existing behavior for clues to that being the case. When he took control of Ant Financial from Alibaba, spinning it off, he gave himself 2/3 of the business. That diluted position would still be worth around $80-$90 billion today. Instead of holding onto that, he proceeded to massively dilute his ownership and control of Ant. The reason he did that, is the same reason he was allowed to take it away from Alibaba without proper compensation (Alibaba was majority owned by multiple foreign shareholders): strategic national interest, an edict from the government. The major banks are all directly state controlled. A very large share of all online transactions in China flow through Ant Financial, the government couldn't allow that to remain in one person's hands. Jack got his orders.

In China as a business person it's extremely dangerous to become too powerful or rich, especially now. Maybe you could have gotten away with it 15 years ago. China of today is very different from China of the late 1990s and 2000s.

If Jack Ma had held onto his original contrived Ant position, he'd nearly be the richest person on earth, with a potential chokehold on finance, industry and retail in China. That position could have plausibly been worth several hundred billion dollars to him personally over time. That's not something you want to aspire to currently in China.

Yeah, just pluggin in the "far-right figure on YouTube" that they highlight under the heading "From fringe to mainstream" into Social Blade, you can see just how "mainstream" this guy is:
https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCYo2MjFS5C7Wynyty9w...

Video view rank: 680,665th

If YouTube is promoting this content so much, at the very least you would expect the video view rank to be higher than the subscriber rank, right?
I've found that my pihole seems to slow down a non-trivial number of websites. It's as if the sites are waiting for a response to something before sending the next chunk of info, and so it has to wait 20-30 seconds for a timeout before the next chunk is sent.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I do love how pihole blocks so many trackers on all my networked devices!
They really are sales. Anecdotally, I pre-ordered a model S, for a little more. Eventually when it can time to buy, I got my money back (actually more due to exchange rates). I then pre-ordered a model 3. Eventually, I will cancel that order too because I ended up upgrading to a Model S. The point here is, Tesla still need to convince people to hand over the cash. The cost of withdrawal and sunk cost in minimal if you don't like it.
Dell seems less than enthusiastic about Epyc. For some reason their Epyc servers are 1/4th the density of their Intel servers. The dual socket Intel is available with 4 systems per 2U, the dual socket AMD is 2U.

> My comment: what does it say about us humans that we fall for progressively more extreme stuff?

This is the fundamental question. Every YouTuber quickly figures out that the more extreme content you produce the more views you get. This is how something as silly (but harmless) as the Atheist Youtube community degenerates into idiots raging about feminists and denying 9/11. YouTube is just a market where the endless demand for extreme content can find a ready willing suppliers.

What it looks like is that YouTube is just a mass demonstration of the Fundamental Law of Group Polarization [1]: low cost communities must enforce high cost penalties. The easier it is to enter a community the more extreme the community must fight outsiders and punish internal deviancy -- otherwise the community will simply dissolve. This is the logical conclusion of Iannaccone [2].

YouTube communities, being based on videos that absolutely anybody can post and watch, is as low cost to enter as it gets. Given such bare minimum entry costs, YouTube viewers rationally want "proof" that everybody else (the video creator, the paying supporters and the supporters who just watch/subscribe/like) really are dedicated and it's worth sticking around in the community. This proof comes in the form of producing and consuming more quantity of video hours and more extreme content.

The genius of YouTube it that it implicitly understands the "race from zero" dynamic at work and every feature of the site is designed to exploit it. People get hung up on the algorithm but the algorithm is a very small part of it. Everything about YouTube: its anonymity, its system of subscribes and likes and the very prominent display of these numbers, the YouTube format which so often includes somebody staring directly into a camera trying to make direct eye contact with the viewer, the confessionary content, the RL social events -- invites users to prove that they are truly dedicated members of these low cost communities. (Google really missed the ball with paid donations, btw. The company is so hung up on advertising they didn't realize that YouTube viewers would leap at the chance to just give straight cash to their favorite creators.)

In conclusion (1) Google could turn off the recommendation algorithm tomorrow and it would at best slow down YouTube's extremism (2) there's enormous profit to be made given the fundamental dynamics of the site because (3) there's nothing unique about YouTube here, we see the same dynamics at work in politics, religion, sports, and plenty of other free sites like reddit and Facebook. Once you have people participating in these low cost communities the communities will naturally polarize in order to preserve themselves. This is not going to change any time soon, really, it's the new norm.

Anecdotal but +1. Watched a couple Jordan Peterson videos and YT started recommending far right wing channels everywhere. Identity politics is exactly the kind of thing he preached against.
Yup completely misread and misunderstood, my bad. :)
That explains what I observed while optimizing convolution functions in OpenBLAS, adding support for AVX512 while AVX2 was already there. On a 36-core Xeon Platinum there was no measurable gain when moving to AVX512, maybe even a bit slower, when running intensive convolutions full of Fuse Multiply Add - FMLA. I was puzzled and thought it’s due to hitting the memory bandwidth limit (but pre-caching more didn’t help), or due to the pipeline - but again, unrolling the loop and reshuffling AVX512 instructions in between “lighter” instructions didn’t seem to help either. I should have monitored the CPU clock changes. But I had no idea there was this kind of dependency. I now wonder what should be the average ratio of heavy 512-bit was AVX512 instructions vs lighter 256-bit instructions to avoid getting into permanent L2 mode and stay at L1. Maybe paralleling one 512bit loop unroll with several 256bit unrolls may still yield some gains in heavy avx usage...
Thank you for the article!

> For example, "The driver is still 100% responsible, just as they would be for cruise control" is absolutely not going to impress anyone as a defense if there is enough property damage or personal injury involving such a feature to justify a class action.

Class action vs. direct action is immaterial; Tesla can't disclaim it's liability for manufacturing g defects even if it tried, and stating that the driver remains responsible for following traffic laws isn't even superficially a disclaimer of product defect liability anyway.

Product defect liability is strict liability for damages produced, and there's a fairly high bar for excluding liability due to intervening causes which would not generally apply to the simple negligence of a driver (either of a Tesla or the other involved vehicle) which contributed to a collision where the defective operation of an assist system was also a contributing cause.
You're assuming a whole host of things:

1. High growth creates durable wealth

2. Growth does not create waste

3. Trickle down economics

4. High growth doesn't create bust cycles

5. High growth doesn't ruin the environment

I mean, I could go on--it is a complex topic, after all--but your comment wanted to reduce it down to some kind of richer/poorer dichotomy, which is obviously false. And it was snarky, which is annoying.
