1.mmmmmmmmm ok I am willing to accept you meant the quadratic loss instead of 0-1 error. that seems reasonable.

2. this is paper is centered in a research thrust that IS focused on generalization. see my below comment.

I don't know who most people are but this paper COULD be important in understanding why stochastic gradient works well in practice.

Personally I doubt it very much.

3. massively overfitting to the training dataset BUT
generalizing well is a real phenomenon and yes it is very weird. happens in deep nets and i believe adaboost. i.e. continuing to train after you have zero 0-1 loss. I agree this is a weird way to communicate this idea but that is what the community uses.
They are yuaigongwu and 51qiji. They have helped numerous patients in China. To be fair, they are mostly patient forums helping each other and most of the medicine for cancer can be purchased with discount in China. They are less expensive than the US but still expensive which is why some poorer patients are seeking alternatives/self made medicine.

WebRTC is mostly about peer-to-peer communication (with a focus on audio and video support alongside data), whereas WebSockets is more about client-server communication. That is, a WebSocket connection needs to be made explicitly to some kind of server; WebRTC handles a peer-to-peer connection setup somewhat transparently.

WebRTC still needs to communicate between peers in order to set up that connection. In fact, many applications using it will use a WebSocket server to handle that initial communication – basically messages between the peers that say "this is where I am and how you can connect". In the case of this WebTTY project, this initial communication is encoded in the "connection data" that needs to be shared to set up the connection, so there's no need for that channel.
> All the image security

The word "security" can't be applied when the measures in place are "don't include a download link".

There is no "security" when the image displays perfectly fine on the screen. It just takes a few screens worth of panning, screen-grabbing and assembling a complete image in Photoshop. After a few rounds, I had a rather efficient workflow going using macros. Most of the artwork I was interested in was between 50 and 100 years old, and completely for personal use - printing out hi-res versions on paper of my choice (matte, never glossy like almost all commercial art prints.)

I don't think you've thought that through.

How would Intel destroying AMD be good for innovation?

Once AMD was gone, they'd have no more incentive to innovate at all.
And if people were truly honest about their 'controversial opinions' they'd get kicked from this site.

I dunno... I'm pretty honest here, especially when taxation and gun control come up, and I haven't been kicked. I get downvoted to oblivion every now and then, but I've got enough Imaginary Internet Points to burn 'em for heat (so to speak) so not a real big deal.
Your comment actually is a perfect example of why this anonymity is needed.

I read the article, I thought it was an interesting idea. On the other hand, you (presumably) read the article, came to the conclusion that Nazis must be behind it, and have now voiced your concern that it's a Nazi scheme publicly on the internet for everyone to see. Some people prefer not to have such accusations thrown at them for merely suggesting innocuous not-politically-motivated things.

I think this improperly confuses an axiom with an argument. What I mean is, some of this comes down to a question that asks what your values are:

If, in a two-candidate election, one candidate gets more votes, should that election be the winner, even if the losing candidate has more passionate supporters?

In democratic elections that respect one-person/one-vote, the answer to that question is simply yes, because that is the definition of one-person/one-vote democracy. Even if there are 100 voters, and it's 51-49, and the 51 voters are lukewarm while the 49 voters are passionate, the candidate with 51 votes wins. No matter what.

The reason that matters is because it is actually fairly slippery to measure passion. If one person submits a 10 rating, and another submits a 7 rating, what does that mean? It could mean that one person is passionate and the other person is lukewarm. But it could also mean that one person is emphatic while the other person is meek. Or that one person is authoritarian and the other person is abused. The entire reason we have one-person/one-vote is to make sure that voters are treated equally, even if society is otherwise telling certain people that they are "less than".

And for those sorts of elections, Condorcet voting is basically perfect. All the flaws people attribute to "Condorcet methods" are only attributable to when there are multi-member Smith Sets.

Now there are other kinds of elections; elections where we don't follow the one-person/one-vote principle. Smaller electorates, non-governmental, self-governing organizations. In those cases, "consensus" is more possible without risking systemic abuse. And in those cases, it might be entirely appropriate to award the winner to the 49% candidate with more passionate support. In which case you would perhaps choose something other than Condorcet.

What I liked the most about the pipeline:

- Speed - we spent a lot of time (as the post says) optimising the process of getting changes into production, and making it as streamlined as possible

- Safety - automated testing caught a huge percentage of the issues, meaning we were able to fix them earlier and avoid the turnaround time of finding out later in the process.Tests included visual diffs of many of the pages, approval tests to check contracts and routes didn't change, etc.

- Transparency - while there are obviously differing opinions on ChatOps, it was great to be able to scroll back through Slack history on the shipping channel and see a complete record of the pipeline for a particular deploy, seeing the execution of the automated steps interwoven with the conversations of the team members working on it. It was also great being able to see the shipping queue at all times so you could take a look and judge how long it would take to get a change through, and could negotiate with others if you needed to jump ahead of them etc.

- Focus on having everyone involved - everybody was involved in reviewing, merging, etc. The aim with a new hire was to get them to complete a change and deploy it to production themselves within their first week. If you were the first person on a "carriage" it was your responsibility to "drive" it and to judge the risk factor, whether to allow other specific changes in the carriage, etc. This meant everyone spent a lot of time thinking about how to reduce risks in their PRs (smaller PRs, more tests, always feature flagging, etc) which was much healthier (IMHO) than having one or two people in the team being responsible for merging or deploying etc and having all the responsibility.

Some of it is cultural as well - Just Culture (blameless postmortems etc), being brutally honest (radical candor) and willing to continually refactor processes.

What You Have to Fear from Artificial Intelligence
That's a rather defeatist outlook.

I'd say that after all that hiking, especially on minimal food, your body would be accustomed to requiring less food decreasing your appetite and making it easier to maintain your weight over time.
And I'd add that it need only be a solution to the person who can start the war. Authoritarian leaders find fights with external enemies extremely useful to quash dissent. Given the global drift toward authoritarianism and nationalism, and especially given how the world's largest military is in the hands of an authoritarian, I think the risk for war is disturbingly high.
Looking at you slack.
Markets only work if they are competitive. Governments do not need to obey market rules, and shouldn't if it helps society.

It's odd that you would be fine with a corporate monopoly exerting dominant power over its market (to extract more profit) but are distrustful of government exerting power to limit that from happening.

Monopoly definition is political -- the idea that governments cannot and should not step in to police markets is a novel idea.
My choice of internet handle (my real name) reflects my position on the topic.

Anonymity has a place, but people need to become more comfortable with attaching their identities to their ideas. (and we need more protections or enforcement for the consequesnces so people can actually feel safer)
> If Coca Cola pays for all the shelf-space in all the leading supermarkets, how is society ever going to experience my super-cola made from unicorn tears and sun-drops?

Who cares? Antitrust doesn't exists to protect companies, it exists to protect consumers.

Cola is just a flavor of soda, which is just a type of drink, and can be easily interchangeable with an enormous number of drinks: water, juices, teas, etc.

As long as Coke's actions are not stopping competition in that larger market with the result of harming consumers, why should anyone care?
> At what point do their aggressions spill over into a larger conflict?

When perceived benefits outweigh costs. The US's multiple invasions of, and coup plots against, other countries didn't 'spill over into a larger conflict' because the US's power & ruthlessness have been well-understood by the world. The costs of resisting US militaristic aggression have just been too high. The same has applied to Russia, and perhaps will in China's case if it makes good on its threats (though it would have to fight on multiple fronts for decades to even approach US levels of aggression).
Indeed, it's sad to see that high of a price for one's recognition. That reminds me of Pieter Hintjens' words - "Ironic that dying turned out to be the greatest marketing stunt of my life."
"Glad it wasn't just me" made me laugh.
> SCTP is not a plain text protocol. I'm not sure how you managed to convince yourself of this one.

> Here is the bit-by-bit format of the SCTP header, in case you were ever confused again:

> https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4960#section-3.1

I can not find there a single hint that anything is encrypted, and I would have been very surprised if I had. The security considerations do even explicitly acknowledge that it's up to the application to encrypt the payload if it wants to.

> In the above post, I was talking about SCTP over UDP, which is an IETF standard already. You have moved the goal posts by talking about unencapsulated SCTP.

No, I simply covered that case as well because SCTP on IP was mentioned as a supposedly viable alternative in this discussion as well, which supposedly would be preferable over QUIC because of lower overhead (which is true if it works, of course).

> However, QUIC is also encapsulated over UDP, and when encapsulated, has the same advantages / disadvantages as SCTP over UDP.

No, it then has the advantage of being nearly completely encrypted, so we don't get any protocol ossification.

> SCTP over UDP over DTLS already constitutes a good portion of web traffic, since WebRTC (and hence technologies like hangouts, facebook video messaging, etc) is based on it.

Well, yeah, but then what's the advantage over QUIC? It's also a complete flow control and encryption stack in user space if you want to run it over DTLS! I mean, I don't mind SCTP, but it's not like the kernel implementation is of any help when you want to run it over DTLS ...

>Effectively, yes. Why is the market so disfunctional that a single company has effectively swallowed all competition?

Part of the reason might be that Coca-Cola depends on decocainized coca leaf for its characteristic flavor, but regulations make it (effectively) impossible for upstarts to access this particular herb. Coca-Cola was grandfathered in from a time when coca leaves were legal.

> Nobody owed small bookstores a living.

By saying that you're basically throwing the whole concept of "fairness" out of the window, so that's no argument.

In my view, Amazon does provide a more complete service than smaller bookstores, but they achieved this with external money; money obtained from outside the book-selling business.

A similar thing is happening to restaurant owners. Companies like Uber Eats (started through enormous investments) build a portal where people can order food. Suddenly, restaurant owners have to pay a sum of money to these companies to stay in business. This is totally unfair, in my view.
> I was surprised - and dismayed - that the polygraph was still being used

Keep in mind that it was being used here by Ford, not by the FBI or Congress. I think the people who mattered are well aware they don't really work, but is also aware of their potent PR value (thanks to years of bad Hollywood science and cliches police procedurals).
You have to include some sense of what the classes encode for this to have meaning — for example, “pictures of correct mathematical proofs” vs “pictures of incorrect mathematical proofs” is going to require a much different architecture than “pictures of squares” vs “pictures of circles”.

It wouldn't have to be both ranks and scores. It could just be scores. But you then order the scores numerically to infer the rank. And you use the rank to find the Condorcet Winner. If there is no CW, then you use the scores from the candidates in the Smith Set to identify the winner from that Smith Set.

(The point of the above was to respect the Condorcet Criterion, and 3-2-1 voting does not meet that criterion.)
But being blue isn't a defining feature of Facebook (or any other social market), so it's not useful for defining the market that it operates in.

(Also, I fully believe that filing an incorrect takedown notice should have legal repercussions, which today it never seems to.)

It's never a good idea to base your feelings about jurisdictional specific things on this, but the fact that few other modern western economies think they're worth it bears thinking about: in so much else, law nowadays relies on everyone else's law to help define how to make it work. So, a new case in the USA can and will be cited everywhere else as a pertinant example of good modern law. But.. not in respect of polygraph evidence. Nobody else seems to want to include it as a routine praxis. Doesn't this worry American students of the law?

You could apply this logic to the gun control question too..
