My experience with AppLocker is that it doesn't really work. As high-school students we would trade ways to break it to play games on our laptops (we were given school laptops which had AppLocker). If high-school students were able to figure out how to break it, I have no doubt there are more serious issues. In addition, I believe you can only whitelist based on:

1. Paths (like AppArmor).
2. Publisher (which I think is a signature, but is a signature of the publisher not the machine itself -- so a compromised publisher could give you a bad update silently).
3. Hash (which is _okay_ but arguably requires more maintenance of the "good hash" list than requiring a specific signature -- though the nice thing with hashes is that you can disallow old ones).

On Linux we have IMA, and there is quite a lot of work on being able to use it as a way of requiring signed-binary execution (it's still not there, from what I've heard in recent talks). But even with that we'd need quite a bit of work to create an installer that bootstraps TPM-resident keys and signs all of the system binaries -- as well as requiring all new updates to sign said binaries.

> You could cut this number in half, and that would be ok too IMO. Less than some developers make.

I think you might have a bias in your viewpoint here. At half would be 150k/year and is still significantly above what most developers make. And I am assuming only United states.

Well that's France, a country with arguably most fucked up mentality of citizens in the world, at least in some sense(s).

Just look at many news coming from there for last 20 years related to farm subsidizing, or people demanding more money out of thin air while in the same time wanting even more social state, and of course higher pensions too. I presume somebody skipped the math class in primary school.

If you don't like reality? Normal person would look at option on howto improve one's situation. Maybe work harder (anybody can work more than 35h/week, while having 7-10 weeks of paid vacation per year), learn something new, move abroad if you really don't like it there. Well, french go out, burn some cars, destroy historical monuments, block rest of the country or take them hostage in some other way and government will for sure cave in.

I am not impressed, to be polite.
The crucial observation is how their value chain works. Most of the value is in restricting the distribution of treatments. That, in turn, is achieved by getting medicines approved in the US.

There’s a lot of value near the end of the development cycle, and not near the start.

(I conclude from this that there remains a role for government in directly funding scientific research.)
That was really interesting!

I dispute that "any action that reduces standard of living will cause deaths" -- there are all sorts of ways my life could be made worse that won't kill me.
I live in the countryside. During winters (starting about this time of the year), the roads here are barely usable under normal conditions. We occasionally end up not being able to get to the store for two or three days due to heavy snowfall. We also have occasional power outages caused by heavy snowfall.

I'd say it's only a matter of time before we're hit by a severe blizzard and we need to manage on our own for a week or two. We do have antibiotics and other basic medical supplies at home, for such occasions. We also keep enough food and firewood for at least two weeks, sometimes more.

As for making one's own antibiotics, one of the most commonly repeated survivalist mantras is that one should always have and maintain a skill that will be useful in order to rebuild, in case society collapses. That way, if we do end up with zombies roaming the streets, Illuminati death squads chasing survivors, and a runaway AI trying to exterminate humanity, you will have something to offer the groups trying to rebuild.

Personally, I know how to make booze. My neighbors do, indeed, seem to appreciate that skill. :D
I don't know why the author is so critical of his peers. DeepMind didn't come up with a novel biological insight; they simply pointed their unparalleled AI resources towards a deep learning problem. Is it really surprising that a team of world class deep learning scientists with virtually infinite resources managed to outperform pharmaceutical companies at a deep learning problem? I don't think so.

No, they don't.

Now, feel free to _show_ me that they do, and I will gladly accept to have been wrong. But this argument that because of some very theoretical view on the problem the current engineering solutions should be abandoned, without actually providing good engineering alternatives, is weird.

I have a bit of a "not even wrong" feeling on the symbolist side of the debate. Deep neural networks have serious flaws, but they can at least be pointed out due to them already solving engineering problems. It is easy to say a field should move to your direction, but they will probably only do it when provided with tangible evidence. AI has moved into the realm of application, and that means the scientific bar for purely theoretical ideas has been raised compared to 20 years ago. And right now, the tangible evidence for symbolism is simply not cutting it.
> Regardles of my intelectual objections I'm glad you finally started to improve.

Thanks for the kind words and the discussion :)

I understand the urge to be skeptical and dismissive. I've been like that myself over this very topic before I experienced and learned what I have.

Please do keep an open mind and think about what I've tried to convey. After all, the whole reason I shared my experience is because it aligns with aligns with the scientific hypothesis that's in the very article on which this discussion is based. So it's not just something I dreamed up. There is a growing body of research on this topic - though I wish it could somehow grow faster.

Best wishes to you.

> In a scenario severe enough you're trying to make your own antibiotics, you can assume hospitals aren't functioning, which means civil society is gone.

The problem of the society is that more and more people count on "How to..." lookup on the Internet and can hardly imagine empty pharmacy or shop shelves.

I worry that the civil society is too much dependent on centralized services prone to interruption: specialized knowledge, production lines, banks, methods of payment, medical drugs, mobile networks, electricity, drinking water and petrol supply, government, ISPs, online services.

> It comes down to a survivalist fantasy, which amounts to one person, one family, one karass, against the world.

No, it is to help a community around you to survive a crisis. Local or global - that doesn't matter. I think the take away from all prep efforts is preserving basic tools, knowledge and skills in the society. In case of crisis, the prepared community can quickly rebuild basic services and sustain itself before a help arrives. Also it can share or barter with other communities.

I can talk from my own experience, as I learned programming at similar age (like 17 years ago) :-)

* I learned with Visual Basic For Applications, because the IDE was bundled with every MS Office installed, so there was no setup required.

* Visual Basic was comprehensible enough for me as a 12yo. I had some basic understanding of programming from my dad showing me basic on some vintage Yamaha computer with arabic OS [1], so IF-ELSE, PRINT, GOTO 10, but couldn't code yet :P

* I remember that the path to hello world in VBA was fairly straight forward. It didn't take too much of typing to get a MessageBox with "Hello World" on screen. I think after that we were writing few programs with multiple messages after each other telling a short story or something.

* I remember after first few lections, we enabled the 'option explicit' that enabled some rudimentary type-checking (or was it just requiring explicit variable declaration?) and I didn't like it at first, but after it started catching typos in my variable names, I grew to like it :) Static/dynamic typing proponents take that for what you want.

* I remember we mostly did simple text-based programming. Million Message boxes and Input boxes. Simple quizes. Simple verbal puzzles. Simple calculators (no parsing, you entered first number in input box, then operator in second input box, then second number in third input box, and finally answer in message box would appear.) Making poem generators was fun. Maybe some simple text-based adventures. I remember having fun :) I think it took us half a year or more to start working on some graphics and making simple games?

* the learning was pretty hands on. We were a group of 5 to 10 kids in a class, everybody was trying to do the same assignment.

* I remember it took me a while to realise I could do "x = x + 1" in my code and what that meant :D In math (we already were solving simple linear equations at school), it wouldn't compute. Functional-programming proponents, take that for what you want :-)

I'm young, and just this year made six figures for the first time, saving plenty of that for the future. But I'm haunted constantly by the worry that something might happen and I lose my ability to work and earn so I'm unable to save up for and provide for a family I might have in a few years. I'd give anything to have that concern taken away
There’s a book specifically applying the “pattern pattern” to UX, namely Jennifer Tidwell’s Designing Interfaces (O’Reilly)

I think the key to the success was translating folding into deep learning problem and solving it (maybe there is still something to win by optimizing the models). The academia and industry were not treating folding as deep learning problem and they were using 'old' methods with slight improvements from year to year. The usage of deep learning was a breakthrough and will speed up research in this field.

> Where did Norton find his rich people? For that particular study, an investment bank connected him with some of its high-net-worth clients. But Norton also told me that he had previously consulted with a pool of Dutch millionaires willing to respond to researchers’ questions

Sounds like that would impose a pretty hefty sampling bias.

I'm fairly sure there is a large pool of people who are very quite and quite happy with the money they have, enabling them to focus on doing things they love.

But such people probably won't show up in this survey.
To me the annoying thing about the e-mail from Marriott that I received, was that it simply says my details 'may' have been breached and that 'some' of the breached e-mails had various types of data stolen.

I understand this as an initial response. What I don't appreciate is the lack of a line in the e-mail saying 'as soon as we have more details about the extent of the breach for your particular account. we will let you know.

I still have no real idea what was stolen and I don't know if I'll ever be told.

>as an existential threat to his career and/or life's work.

Is it though? DeepMind stood on the shoulders of the giants: they made use of decades of biological research and wet lab experiments. There's much more to academic research than predictive data science, which is honestly not meant to be their expertise at all. It is exactly their research that enabled DeepMind to reduce the problem to a solvable deep learning problem, and it is still their research that can best leverage the results of the model. I think there's an important distinction between properly understanding and pursuing the science behind the problem and taking data and fitting an already formulated problem through a deep network.

He means that it's impossible to write such a function from the natural numbers. It's possible for all finite types such as UInt in Swift.

In general, you can do this exhaustive search with any "compact" type and there are a lot of compact types. In particular, the (total continuous) functions from a discrete (i.e. a type with decidable equality) into a compact type are compact. And as the article shows, the (total continuous) functions from a compact into a discrete type are discrete. Together with the observation that the type of natural numbers is discrete and that every finite type is compact and discrete already gives you infinitely many compact types to play with.

One caveat with this whole work (which goes back to Martin Escardo by the way) is that this doesn't work with general recursion. E.g. in a language with general recursion you can write a program

kleene : (nat -> bool) -> bool

which computes the paths in the Kleene tree, where roughly "all total computable paths are terminating, but all uncomputable paths diverge". However, if you have a (total) language with, e.g., only structural recursion, everything works out and you can apply this epsilon operator to arbitrary programs.
An interesting read, though I find the constant cries of sexism somewhat annoying, as they don't really seem to add any substance to the text other than legitimizing the authors subjective impressions, which, as far as I am concearned, don't need any lagitimization in the first place.

FFS that $10m figure isn't about being comfortable. It's about never having to work again and never having to be concerned about paying for things in an upper middle class lifestyle.

You might be happy as a PhD student, but your housing and life is entirely dependent on the university. You are one academic violation away from that all being in jeopardy.

What happens if you get a spouse and child? Will your current housing and savings be enough to support them and yourself if you both decide you want to stay with the baby instead of working?

What if your government passes legislation that costs you your job, your housing, or your healthcare?

The $10m money is about not worrying about anything other than global economic collapse and/or massive wars.

"Not worrying about money again" means never again. Not just while you manage to hold down a job.

It's not a single cause. It's thousands of experiences/memories, and they need to be found and processed one by one, usually at a rate of no more than a few per week.

That said, some traumas have brought about "quick and large" changes when they've been found; that's how I've known the system was working.

But for thorough healing of deeply held traumas and related physiological ailments, it needs consistent work over a long period of time, and gradual improvement is to be expected.
You love him or you hate him.

Elon is likely frustrated by his limited degree of freedom in his ability to express himself given his role as a chairman and CEO of a $60B public company.

It takes a unique empathy to understand the nature of that frustration - you're super smart, super rich, well-intentioned, but you still can't do everything that you want to do because of the constraints posed by the laws of our society, which by necessity, adhere to a lower common denominator.

The solution here for Elon is relatively straightforward, though. Continue to prove out Tesla's business, and get to the point where you can take the company private.
Angular vs. React: Comparing Differences
AlphaFold is a prime example on the importance of cross-pollination between fields and the need to fund diversified research approaches, as well as inventing fundamentally new tools that are potentially applicable in a wide range of fields.

It appears that the bandwagon effect in science is real and unfortunately too prevalent. Conservatism is a powerful institutional force that directs prestige and importantly funding away from 'fringe' approaches. Fundamental innovation often stems from maverick thinkers who still need time and resources to prove their ideas' worth but too much resource (funding, time, talent, publication venues) tends to gravitate towards eking out 1% better performance from mainstream ideas (while important, industry will often fund this kind of research anyway).

In life sciences, SENS for example already took almost two decades just to start to establish itself and is still far from mainstream. All the while, 3-4 orders of magnitude more resources are expended to obtain those 1% improvements based on mainstream treatments with little chances of yielding significantly better health outcomes for the patient.

Decision science should compel us to invest more resources on risky projects with high upsides. Humanity can afford to risk investing 15-20% of research resources, if not more, to explore fundamentally new approaches.
