So this means that the national governments/militaries of the countries in which those entities are located would then have the practical ability to force a revocation that causes someone’s routes to become invalid? This seems like a giant legal SPoF for censorship.

It was never meant to train on Starcraft to dominate Solitaire or Mario, or to figure out a more efficient way to do laundry. There's no money in that. The particular interest in Starcraft (an iconic wargame) is meant to lend itself to the military applications of logistics and troop placement.

At some point AI will be sufficiently advanced to understand what a grunt on a map looks like in any context, so we'll be able to swap out the Space Marines with real ones. Whoever can autonomously dominate a battery of RTSes has the potential to autonomously conduct conventional warfare.

>I don't think I've ever seen a sidewalk being replaced because of age

Walking over uneven surfaces is much more comfortable than using a wheeled vehicle, so long as those surfaces are flat. Everyone will bitch and moan about a road that's in rough shape. Nobody really cares if it's a sidewalk (sucks for the disabled though).

I've seen sidewalks get replaced due to age but I don't live in CA where it's 70 degrees year round.

I have read much of Niven's work. I also got to hear him and Jerry Pournelle discuss some of their 'evolution in action' theories at a science fiction conference in LA. It was more entertaining than rigorous given the venue but both of them had given the concepts a lot of thought. Of course as my grandfather would say some times, "The law of the jungle is always more appealing to those who aren't subject to it."

I recognize that the impacts will be felt widely when this technology becomes available, but I also recognize I can't predict the impact on things outside of my own experience.
Completely disagree also. Around 50% of all patches I review have real logic bugs in them. Patches I write myself aren't flawless either and often someone finds bugs in them as well.

And it's not like you have to spend several hours on thorough analysis either. Small changes takes a few minutes, medium changes 30min and larger changes should deserve a few hours.

Rather famously, a Canadian casino in the 90’s had a keno game which was powered down nightly as the casino was only open 18 hours a day. While the game’s RNG was demonstrably random, a critical error was made in its implementation: the seed was stored in ROM. As a result, it repeated the same sequence of numbers following each power cycle. After a patron matched 19/20 numbers in three consecutive games, they took the machine out of service and ultimately paid him the $620k he’d won.

> we're rapidly reaching a climate that not only correctly says "platform X doesn't have to publish what you write" to "if you are bad, we will not only prevent major platforms from publishing you, but we'll go after any host who does publish you, and destroy them"

If some non-zero number of people get upset that publication X does Y, that doesn't mean they are actually able to "go after any host who publishes and destroy them." They just make a lot of noise. Take for example NYT hiring Sarah Jeong. There's opposition, but she's publishing there now.

However if someone is racist, and faces backlash because of that, and enough critical mass of people say "listen I don't want to read a publication that gives voice to racists" then there's nothing wrong with that. Racists can always publish to Breitbart/Fox/whatever publication allows that (s/racist and those media outlets/whatever satisfies your own politics/r, you catch my drift). Or they can shout it in a public place, print pamphlets, or write a fucking blog. Free speech means they can do those things, but not necessarily force it onto a specific platform.
This is true, but it's also because Tensorflow is a typed language, but it uses the syntax of python. (At least the default way) in tensorflow, the graph is type checked on startup, and it'll fail if anything is wrong.

Contrast this with pytorch, chainer, or tensorflow's dynamic computation graphs and they're much more likely to have a bug that happens later, since their graphs aren't verified up front.

Unfortunately, typed languages won't help you much there. A big reason people use pytorch is because of its flexibility (i.e. they were bumping up against the constraints of a static graph system and wanted out)

The reason that the existing BGP setup is so barebones (that is, lacking in any meaningful security beyond simple route filtering) is because introducing more complexity is failure-prone... and not just from error or misconfiguration either. Outages, propagation, malice... there are a lot of ways in which this could break and make things less reliable than they are now.

My main concern is censorship. This would allow the RiRs, via revocations or failures-to-renew a cert for a given address space, to knock a network off of the internet without further human intervention on the part of the peers to which the censored party is directly connected.

Give them this tooling, and their national governments or militaries will demand its use when they are sufficiently angered, agitated, or threatened.

Can you really imagine the US military or DoJ not demanding RiRs use such a tool against e.g. an AS hosting Wikileaks or Snowden files or The Shadow Brokers?

I’m not sure that the current insecure BGP model is broken enough to warrant introducing this new cryptographic fail-closed failure mode.

They cause partition, but their origin isn't the network. Nobody who runs a large system has perfectly behaving infrastructure. Infrastructure always works better in a lab than in the real world. Even if you imagine your infrastructure is rock-solid, people often make assumptions, like their quota is infinite, or their application will scale past the theoretical limits of individual network segments, i/o bounding, etc.

The point is, resources cause problems, and the network is just one of many resources needed by the system. Other resources actually have more constraints on them than the network does. If a resource is constrained, it will impact availability in a highly-consistent model.

The author states that simply adding network redundancy would reduce partitions, and infrastructure problems are proof that this is very short-sighted. "You have bigger problems" - no kidding! Hence the weak-consistency model!
Depends on how much they think it would annoy the US
Except it won't because there's so much pent up demand for transit. A little extra capacity will be instantly used up by the people who were formerly inconveniencing themselves by leaving late/early.

Increasing throughput doesn't prevent you from being able to max out the system at peak usage times (rush hour), it just means that the rush hour traffic doesn't last as long.
I think if you reframe the problem it can be much easier (if not trivial) to find solutions.

If you present a 100 page book as a folder of 100 image files instead, most of these become image manipulation problems:

Create a subdirectory with the page or a link to the page.

> How can I reference a specific part in an electronic text (in non-electronic text "3rd paragraph on page 11")

Cut and paste the excerpt into a new image file.

File sharing is a solved problem. Hell, you can even share it on Instagram if you so choose.
You know what, I'm not surprised at all.

Didn't one of the most simple algorithms, binary search, suffered of a bug in a standard library (was it Java?) a few years ago? If IIRC it was a corner case, I should check it because I don't recall the details, but it looked robust code.

Highly editorialized title. The original (sane) title is So You Want to Launch a Rocket? The FAA is Here for You.

This is especially eggregious given the overall positive tone of the post, see:

The point is, you do need federal permission to launch a rocket from the United States. And, if you are a U.S. citizen or other entity you need FAA approval to launch anywhere in the world. The Commercial Space Launch Act says so. You also need permission to reenter a reentry vehicle or operate a spaceport. The one thing my protégé had wrong, however, is that you don’t need a license—or even an experimental permit—to launch a toy rocket or even a somewhat large amateur rocket.
This raises an interesting question about MOOCs for me. Several people here are objected to violating the terms of a free online course. At what point is it ok to start creating derivative works? I've noticed many of the comments discuss etiquette or ethics "what's right is right", rather than legality. The whole question is interesting to me.

I actually do think that one of the drawbacks of Andrew Ng's course is that it uses octave rather than python. My point here isn't to kick off another debate about this topic - there have been plenty of those already. Rather, let's start with the assumption that it is reasonable for someone to feel that the course is brilliant, but would be improved by the option to do the assignments in python. As it is acceptable by the terms of the site to audit the class for free (no credit is given), many people have chosen to quietly do the exercise on their own in python.

At some point, they may want to get together to share, discuss, correct, and debate their solutions - and for these discussions to happen properly, this must involve sharing code. A lot of good could emerge from something like this.

I suppose you could say "then create your own course", but that comes with some issues of its own. First, the course is a classic - it was one of most famous early MOOCs, and it is a seminal course in machine learning generally. Under certain rules, it's ok to create derivative works of art from the public domain, and it's even ok to create derivative works of art from copyrighted material, provided you follow certain restrictions and abide by a (fairly complicated, inanal) set of royalty sharing regulations.

This is just a thesis, and I'm sorting it through mentally, so I don't want to come off as pushing any particular solution or angle here... but I am leaning toward the notion that 1) original content creators for online courses need to be credited, and in some cases paid, for their work, and 2) restrictions on creating derivative works from these courses may be very harmful, especially if they get to the point where simply re-implenting things in a different language and sharing the solutions (in ways that are essential for meaningful discussion) is disallowed legally or through etiquette or custom.

Well, that's about it, I'd be interested in hearing thoughts on this.

NOTE: I do want to be clear, this is a general question prompted by this discussion - the site in question is not a place where people post and share solutions to problems for a coursera course.
Seems to have a powerful straw man there about eventual consistency.

The point of AP systems is not 100% availability, but rather higher availability.

By the same reasoning, one should never do CP, because it is also not possible to have 100% consistency. Disk/memory/network corruption, even with ECC can overwhelm the ability to maintain consistency.

I'm really struggling to see how this could be useful in space exploration. They claim that the benefit is that it's reconfigurable, so you can send less stuff to orbit.
What they do not talk about is power density - pneumatic actuators do really bad here. Those devices + power packs would have to be huge, way larger than purpose-built electric systems, which would probably destroy the gains from reconfigurability.

But that's based on the youtube video, which is typical marketing-speak. The paper is much more toned down. It's a cool idea, but I don't like when people make exploratory research look like it's anywhere near application stage.

> has taken more man hours to develop and maintain than the application

But that is perfectly normal when developing quality code.

There is no rule that says that test code development should take LESS time.

Certainly different applications have different quality requirements. Perhaps the software you are developing doesn't have that high requirements?
This is great. The biggest challenge is how to get it in front of people when they need it. Maybe it needs to be like those apps that stop you from using your computer for 5 mins every hour: your computer locks every hour, and you must smile for 10 seconds (4 is too short!) to unlock it.

Wait, keto can improve allergies? How long after starting does that start? I'm 2 weeks in.

I'm 515..or I was 2 weeks ago (now I'm 500).. I started a weightloss challenge at a Crossfit gym, where they basically make you pay $400 if you lose 25lbs in 6 weeks and go to all 18 classes (6 wks*3 classes), and follow nutrition guidelines (my coach was okay me modifying that to keto) you get your money back, and probably a pitch to continue crossfit, which I might fall for...I do really like the team/people there.

I do feel a LOT better, stronger, and crossfit is getting a little easier.
