I agree. One of my best friends was female, I mean we rode bikes and stuff every single day after school and spent most summer days joined at the hip, but going to a scout event was an entirely different thing.

And here's an issue I see. All of the scout camps I went to as a kid, yeah they didn't have two sets of showers or toilets...

So what, what are you going to do? March all the girls in and have them use the bathroom, shower etc. March them out, march the boys in and repeat? Oh, and you're going to have to go through them with a fine tooth comb between groups becuase we live in a smartphone world and I'll bet you all the money in my wallet boys are going to try and hide their phones to get video of girls and I imagine to a lesser extent it will happen in reverse too.

Hell, people still occasionally freak out about men being largely alone with young boys in group showers/open bathrooms... uh... you think there isn't going to be some disaster where Shady McGrady gets up in the middle of the night, slips off to the shower and sets up some sort of recording to get video young girls and the mothers/female staff? Because, I hate to burst bubbles but, scout camps aren't going to have funds to build brand new facilities to have gender-segregated facilities... I mean, most of those facilities weren't in the best condition when I was in scouts because they're operating on pretty thin budgets often paying camp staff barely better than minimum wage.

It's ok to have same-gender friends, it's ok to have same-gender activities. I hate that by taking this stance it's a guarantee that I'll get called a chauvinist, or sexist, or a pig. We have this same issue in Freemasonry, 'mainstream' Masonry is a MEN'S fraternity and with regularity, there's the occasional men and women that want it opened up to women. No. I'm surrounded by women all day at work, I come home to my retired mother that lives with me, I want some guy time. Kids need this too.

If you want to experience the 'chilling effect' of facial recognition first hand, go to a meaningful political protest in the UK. These are different to the circus-and-bread protests, e.g. complaining about Trump in some collective Pinch and Judy show.

With the more useful protest events numbers are smaller and those that attend aren't there just to post selfies of themselves looking good protesting at the bogeyman-du-jour on Instagram. Protesting against the arms trade or fracking will be getting yourself proper attention from the authorities. The police have the one tactic called 'the kettle' where they form a police line around all the protesters, then letting them out, one by one, getting everyone's photo. From then on you know that you will be in some special rogue's gallery, to be denied being able to work for the three letter agencies and other places in the civil service due to being a known troublemaker. They don't need to take your postcode or DNA, just that waltz past the camera will do. As you can imagine this has a 'chilling effect' and curbs one' enthusiasm for wanting to participate in the direct democracy that is so encouraged by our governments just so long as it is part of the 'Arab Spring' or other such nonsense.

Facial recognition for cows on the farm, that is a thing and also has applications for other areas, e.g. nature conservation, so there is nothing wrong with it for other species, putting them under mass surveillance and not needing the physical tags.

I think there are a number of circumstances where separating by gender is perfectly fine. Sports is an obvious one: because of gender differences in physiques, girls and boys compete at different levels, so the separation makes perfect sense.

I'm just saying that it makes absolutely zero sense to do it for scouting. Scouting is about teaching kids to be self-reliant, to be confident in nature, to work well with others, and to help with their physical and mental development. There's absolutely no reason to split this up by gender except antiquated and sexist beliefs about women. It makes just about as much sense as having different scouting organizations for people with blue eyes and brown eyes.

I tried this out on one of my blog posts, and it classified it as "average", suggesting only single-word corrections that don't even make sense in the context.

A few examples:

It suggested changing "attack" to "defense", in "in order to carry out the attack".

It suggested changing "helpful" to "supportive", in "ifconfig gives helpful statistics".

It suggested changing "grow" to "better", in "expect [a number] to grow continuously".

So while it's a cool idea, I'd say it didn't seem to work very well for me.

> What happened to the famous genome sequencing cost curve after late 2012, which stopped price decreases, damaged genetics, and delayed the advent of whole-genome sequencing by perhaps a decade? Was it really just the Illuminati’s fault?

Note that the Y-axis is logarithmic; so this is simply a matter of diminishing returns. The massive fall in 2007-2008 was due to the invention of so-called "next generation sequencing", but this is bound by technical constraints -- not least the sheer deluge of data -- that have basically been hit. Newer methods of sequencing, which are now starting to come online in anger, ought to start pushing the price down again; although note that the data/processing constraints haven't really gone away and this is now the principal bottleneck for analysis.

You're automatically assuming because it's exclusionary that it's a negative for society. There's already been an equivalent for over a century.

Just because it's been around before their lifetime and is a cultural institution doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Too many liberals get this wrong about conservatism; they think "old == bad", ergo it must be toppled/changed in some way. What is morally/ethically wrong with only young boys going away for a few weeks in the summer to a camp?

>>I'm just saying that it makes absolutely zero sense to do it for scouting

Boys are stronger than girls so having boys only or girls only makes it easier to organize physical exercises/tests/requirements. It's also likely boys are in general interested in other things than girls so having gender separation allows more kids doing what they enjoy.
One more reason could be that having genders separated removes the aspect of kids hitting puberty interacting with each other and additional burden it entails when organizing activities.

I mean, there are surely reasons to have genders combined but it's very easy to imagine reasons to have it separated.

>>It makes just about as much sense as having different scouting organizations for people with blue eyes and brown eyes.

Oh c'mon, we can discuss how much different girls and boys are and what kind of structure is better for society but to claim relevant differences between boys and girls amount to differences between blue eyed and brown eyed people is just ignorant.
Yes, that's essentially a root problem.

The corrupt leaders would use any plausible excuse to defend their fiefdoms ...'colonialism' would be an easy one to hide behind, and a lot of naive actors on our side would chime in in support. Sadly.
> “I have tried running PyMC3 models on GPUs (when they were on Theano; not sure if they have transitioned since) and it is slower than CPUs, not for small models but the big, SIMD-wide ones.“

Can you post a link to your code with some synthetic data of the sizes you’re talking about to demonstrate this? I hear it as a criticism a lot, but have never found it to be true (full disclosure: I work on a large-scale production system that uses pymc for huge Bayesian logistic regression and huge hierarchical models, both in GPU mode out of necessity).

> “Both TF and Theano require static graph while PyTorch lets you use Python’s regular control flows (if, for, while, etc). This makes building modular model components much easier, since you can reason about execution mostly as if it’s normal numerical Python code.”

I can’t tell if you’ve looked into pymc or not based on this (or Keras either for that matter), since in pymc, GPU mode is just a Theano setting, you don’t actually write any Theano code, manipulate any graphs or sessions directly, or anything else. You just call pm.sample with the appropriate mode settings at it is executed on the GPU.

Much like with Keras, where you can also easily use Python native control flow, context managers and so on, pymc doesn’t require low-level usage of underlying computation graph abstractions.

Again, I really like PyTorch too, but people just seem to have only ever tried PyTorch, liked one or two things about it, forgive the parts that are bad about it (like needing to explicitly write a wrapper for the backwards calculation for custom layers, which you don’t need to do in Keras for example), and generalize to criticize other tools.
> ..Obj-C... assumed Unicode...use 2 byte encodings

That's actually not entirely accurate. NSString in Foundation was (and is, sort of) a class cluster that is quite flexible and agnostic about the actual encoding of the representations. I remember this quite clearly, because I fleshed out some of the missing NSString pieces in libFoundation, which was a fairly clean/simple implementation of the OPENSTEP Foundation spec.

What locked in the representation was CoreFoundation, Apple's C re-implementation of Foundation for the Carbon crowd, who apparently wouldn't countenance even linking against Objective-C, even if hidden behind a C facade.

So instead of taking the tried-and-true, fast and flexible Foundation and adding some wrappers, the existing Foundation had to be abandoned and rebuilt on top of a newly-written much inferior object-oriented C library.

With that, we got much worse performance[1], much reduced flexibility in terms of representation and locking away of flexibility. Just as an example, the binary plist format is quite capable, but almost all of that capability is lost because it's hidden behind a monolithic C API.

Now there are some issues in the API, for example just a single "length" attribute that clashes with NSData's length and makes it...challenging...to present both Byte and String faces at the same time, making for a lot of otherwise unnecessary copying and conversion.

The difference is that you can calculate an adversarial example for our classifiers, but it's too slow to calculate on a human.

Even if you could, the result would be specific to that particular person, so it won't work as good on others. And these bastards learn while you're constructing the example (which isn't fair at all to a helpless classifier that's just sitting there and doesn't change).

> I've already pointed out, tools _are_ covered by IP in the from of patents, including some screwdrivers, so arguing we should treat software like we treat tools is walking right into a horrible trap.

> OMG! Piracy (non high-seas type) by _definition_ is the violation of a license.

> Book and the information in them are tools and are exactly like software. We follow recipes in cook books, we follow DIY guides, we type code from books into computers and run it, we enjoy literary and visual printed entertainment.

You're confusing form with function. Software may be like books in its form - strings of numbers encoded on a physical substrate, to be read by a machine - but is totally unlike books in its function. `cp` isn't a book, it's a digital equivalent of a photocopier. Photoshop isn't cooking recipe, it's a digital equivalent of a 1950-era photo studio. Most software functions as tools that transform digital stuff into other digital stuff, but when you connect appropriate hardware, software becomes a tool affecting physical world.

> Programs are texts in the general sense, that's literally what they are.

If you want to go there... in this sense, screwdrivers are text too, because OpenSCAD drawings describing them are text, and G-codes driving CNC machines are text too.

Do boys and girls sports teams teach the "values of masculinity and femininity"? Boys and girls may compete at different physical levels but I wasn't under the impression that girls trained and competed with a specific feminine mindset (especially as many of the girls teams coaches were men).

I don't think there has to be a ban on gendered clubs, but historically, girls and women have seemed to get shortchanged in the activities society deemed appropriate for them, so I can understand that some want to err on the side of challenging and bucking traditional gender boundaries and norms.
That raises the interesting question of how object recognition in streams of images is progressing, beyond being just object recognition within the individual frames. Humans are capable of extracting a lot of additional information in such situations, and are actually helped when the perspective on a given object changes. One cannot give current machine vision a pass if, through lacking this capability, it is under-performing.

And moving one's head to get a a better view is only one thing that a human might do. Firstly, of course, we must recognize that we are having a difficulty, and current machine vision seems to be somewhat deficient in this regard. Then, even without being able to get a different perspective, we will do things like make guesses as to what might be there (using our extensive semantic models of the world) and figure out if they might be a good fit to what we see, and/or we might try to extract specific features of the problematic area and search our memories for objects that might plausibly match, bearing in mind that it might be from a different perspective than we are accustomed to. We are also quite good at estimating whether an object might be a problem for us, even if we have not positively identified it. There is a lot more to it than just moving one's head.

I've used both. Hetzner definitely has attractive pricing and Amazon tends to charge extemely high amounts for relatively slow machines. For reference, one or two months of usage, basically pays for the hardware cost already with a lot of these instances. The profit margins on this stuff must be insane for Amazon because they run these machines for years non stop.

However being able to pay for these machines by the minute and spin them up and down in minutes is a level of flexibility you don't have in Hetzner. You could spin up a few dozen of these instances, run some expensive batch jobs and shut them down in 40 minutes. There's no need to have them idling while you are not using them.

Also they have lots of stuff you simply don't get in Hetzner. And, support is kind of barebones in Hetzner, their network security is not great, and if you need to be reachable world wide, they are not an option.

If you know what you are doing they can still be a great option. But you'll need to compensate for what they are not doing with expensive devops work. People don't tend to count this but this is by far the most expensive factor in operations these days. You might be paying pennies for the hardware but having a single senior devops person stuck doing the devops work would set you back around 10K/month. And one month is of course not going to be the end of this. Doing things in Hetzner means investing in that kind of stuff. You basically get to reinvent a lot of wheels that you get to use off the shelf in AWS.

Some competition would be nice though. AWS is overcharging because they have very few real competitors and they tend to charge similar amounts. Azure and Google cloud are also not that cheap if you need fast machines.
