A trained neural network is a model, just like any other kind of model. If there is any overall property of the data it learned, you can coerce it from the network just like you can read them from any mathematical model. (What is, for some properties, very easily, and for others it's very hard.)

An AI can always explain how it came to an answer. But the explanation can be like "there are way too many factors" or "things are like this just because of those other things, if those changed, the explanation would too". But those are not an attribute of the neural networks, but of the problem they are solving. If you get an explanation like that for a problem that has simple explanations, it means you failed at training your network.
I think one of the takeaway's from Aaron's piece is that there IS no universally good source of information. That's okay, because the news you need to hear or that actually impacts you will make it's way to you through hearsay. The people you talk to in real life are a good filter.

One difference might be that almost nobody has a desktop computer. The vast majority of people use a laptop. But they are free to select from a menu of about 20 different laptops including Mac Book Airs and Mac Book Pros. Almost everyone also has a company supplied phone. Again, they have the a selection of about 20 phones to select from, including Android and iPhones. So the environment here is very heterogeneous.

The key is to control emotional response. A big part of the Dale-Carnegie thing is to blunt a visceral reaction.

Personally, I keep an internal bozo meter and use that to guide responses. A key area of concern is to make sure you are not the bozo as well!

Most people are acting in good faith and poor performance is a symptom of some problem. The priority with them is to get your needs prioritized.

At some point you start to understand that some people are acting in bad faith, or are too incompetent to know the difference. In those cases, you need to compel performance in a way that is appropriate. It’s never productive or moral to belittle people, but is appropriate to nag.

Another key thing that you and your cofounder need to respect is that you have different styles and you don’t cross boundaries. You don’t want to be a sheep, she cannot be a jerk.
Your “next prion disease” is entirely hypothetical. Given that, it is pure speculation how to prevent its transmission. Why would you assume specific precautions taken would apply?

Also, Escape key won't work if you had pressed F11 to switch to a fullscreen mode. Furthermore, browsers like Opera remember this setting and restore fullscreen mode (along with the page content) even after restart. I saw a case when a user somehow has opened a page with ads in fullscreen mode (probably it was done for watching a movie) and it was restored even after exiting and restarting the browser. So I killed the browser with Task Manager, restarted it and the fullscreen ads appeared again.

I (an experienced user) couldn't quickly figure out that it was actually a fullscreen mode, couldn't understand why the browser doesn't launch and thought it was some kind of virus in the system. I figured it out only when I tried to move mouse upwards and a browser UI appeared.

He lost me when he started talking about the Halting Problem.

How is checking all Swift.String or Swift.Int values equivalent to that? There are a lot of Swift.Int values to check (2^64, on a 64-bit platform), and even more Swift.String values (every combination of characters up to that length), but simply being infeasibly slow to run on your Pentium "in a reasonable amount of time" doesn't mean it's an "impossible function to implement, and also equivalent to the halting problem". We could easily write a function to enumerate all Swift.Int values (though it might take 100 years to run).

He throws out the parenthetical remark "it’s best to think of Int as modeling the infinite set of all integers" without explanation. When you're discussing whether something is theoretically impossible or not, thinking of a finite set as equivalent to an infinite set is brushing over a pretty major distinction.

Computers have ALWAYS been about solving problems. I have long told others that when going into computer science type fields that you should get a double major (or at least a minor) in some other field because you are most useful when you can take your computer knowledge and apply it to some completely different field.

I didn't take my own advice... My career has been about learning other fields to apply computers to it, and it has been a very interesting journey. Note fields is plural there, I have not stayed in the same industry (I think this means something but I don't know what)

I'm not entirely sure non-biased publications exist. In a perfect world they would be a thing but in the world of humans quite impossible.

As for my criteria:

- I usually look at who owns the publication to get a sense of its positions in terms of important global affairs.

- Are they reporting all the facts or simply "lying by omission" (which tends to be a very popular tactic these days, especially when it comes to geopolitical topics).

- Balance, or what I like to call gray journalism. Because nothing is totally black or white in life.

I'm of the opinion that the Internet simply killed traditional journalism, because now anybody (given the time) can go and check the facts for any given story published by the media.

Same here. I've had strange eye problems that my doctor hasn't been able to explain, and I feel like my cognition is declining. It's easy to buy into unknowns like this which seem to explain everything wrong with you, but it's exceedingly unlikely.

More likely is that my eye problems are from wearing contacts in for too long and staring too long at a computer in a low-humidity environment and never blinking. My cognitive issues are probably from not eating healthily, not getting enough sleep, not exercising, and from being depressed.
I moved from a software engineer position in the games industry to a similar one in finance.

My current environment has a better gender balance than my old environment. However, reading CVs of potential candidates for roles on my team, my overall experience is the same as it has been throughout my career: the proportion applying for software engineering positions is low.

Few women apply to join or lead software engineering teams in finance.
Few women applied to join or lead software engineering teams in the games industry (the balance on the art team swung the other way, however, and QA was about 50/50).
Few women applied to the embedded company I had my first job at.
In college, there were over a hundred male students studying the same major in my year, and one (sic) female student.
In high school, the computer lab was filled with boys.
You have to go all the way back to middle school age to see anything like gender parity.

This is all anecdote, and it's software engineering - I'm sure the situation in other parts of finance will be different.

But I suggest at least part of what is happening happens much earlier in life than the finance institution, and effort must be applied there if we genuinely want to help.

My case against hardcoding some kind of symbolic logic within the architecture of an AI model is that there won't be a way to challenge the symbols as the brain does.

When I think "the house is red", I know what it means very well, but I'm also able to doubt or modulate my understanding of the symbols.

These conversations would be hard to put in symbols:

- This house is red
- No! It's crimson!
- But crimson is red!

Or

- The house is red
- No! it's green!
- Nah, it's red, you're colorblind

Brain logic is MUCH fuzzier than symbolic logic.
Symbols exist, sure, but they're part of a bigger logical soup. And I believe that no low level logical circuit exists in the brain (which also explains why humans are so slow at logic, calculation and so on).

Maybe symbolic logic could be a intermediate step for some applications. Or maybe humans could be much smarter if they had access to some symbolic logic processing unit. But as far as research is involved, I think there is way more to gain if we managed to have symbolic logic emerge from deep neural nets.

In fact, you could argue that Alpha Go definitely developed some kind of symbolic logic, especially in the end-game, where there's little intuition and way more calculation.

That's what people outside drug development think. Meanwhile, 70 % of all drugs fail at Stage 2 testing. That's right, experienced pharmacologists at established companies go forward with compounds they believe will succeed, and still in 2 out of 3 cases they are not better than placebo.
I'll get crucified for saying this but this is one of the differences between a CLI and a GUI. A button/menu item/etc. always tells you what it does (even if it's just a brief description) before you click it. A command line parameter, well, reduces the information redundancy to near zero... you have to go out of your way to figure out its meaning.
Apple in some ways is like a quasi data privacy regulator because they have control of the App Store. They can use App Store policy to forbid these third party frameworks being included in apps.

But that's not a scalable solution. Privacy legislation is required to raise the bar for everyone. Apple's not going to be able to sue or fine companies nor can they police companies about how they use data they've managed to collect.

I suggest you learn more about the financial space. In no world do bank wires take 4 to 14 days. Trust is an efficiency. Inflation is not bad because you’re not supposed to be using Cash as an investment you’re supposed to be investing it, as long as you’re not doing that under a mattress, inflation is a relevant to you other than as a forcing function toward investment. Nobody wants to be their own bank, it sucks that’s why we have banks.

I attempted using an FM transmitter but I had 2 issues

1) I think my transmitter was a little noisy so that wasn’t desirable.

2) I didn’t have a nice FM receiver to test with, but didn’t want to purchase one because I thought my transmitter was noisy. So a bit of a catch 22.

But FM would be great.

Sounds great, but honestly I hoped that federated calls would finally make it...

I mean, Federation is a core feature of Nextcloud and instead of finishing the work on Talk, we have a second (probably similarly incomplete) feature now, which needs to be polished for the next major releases.

I don't want to be negative here.

I love Nextcloud and the work that is being done around it! It is just that sometimes I wonder about the priorities and in this case, I wish improving existing things would have come before introducing new things.

Besides that, I am quite excited to try out the new social features :-)
"Codes that are similar are located closer together than codes that are different."

I dug hoping to find out how they handle boundary effects, and gave up.

The numbers 0.999999 and 1.000000 are far apart in Hamming distance but close in position. What bounds are achievable for the maximum Hamming distance between two nearby locations, in any such system? Do they approach the theoretical limit here, or is "that are similar" a crock that only sometimes holds?

For example, for a base 12 location code one could overlay a dodecahedron onto the earth, then rotate it by a low-discrepancy sequence of quaternions for successive digits. This would have very nice bounds for the maximum Hamming distance between nearby locations, at the expensive of efficiency: each successive digit subdivides the location by far less than a factor of 12. As locations approach each other, vanishingly few rotations will distinguish them.

One can imagine easy fixes for this scheme, but what is the theory? Do they have a theory? Do they implement it?

To be blunt. I think you are jumping to conclusions with saying this implies/suggests life is a simulation. You are completely right to point out that is is a bit weird. But then there are a bunch of logical steps (such as looking for a more likely solution) to take before starting to think this would suggest life is a simulation.

There are a bunch of things I think that are more indicative (though, all have other possible, plausible solutions) of the simulation hypothesis. Some of the reasoning behind reality being a hologram (which I am not 100% on understanding).

For the corrupted blood, I wouldn't call it a bug. There was no problem with the software, just a wayward pet.

Definitely can't rule it out as a factor.
A compromise between the two would be to identify powerful abstructions over nodes and nets that are equivalent to symbol manipulation circuits. Self assembly and self modification are certainly not strange to symbolic logic, but this doesn't work so well for most programmers. So we need more geniuses and they need to tailor neural nets to help them build symbolic logic (if only as intermediate debugging output).
I assume they would be required to use bike lanes in most American cities. I am concerned about the liability involved. A local journalist here in Austin was hit by a drunk guy on a scooter badly enough to dent her driver-side door and render the door inoperative. Then he claimed she hit him. His auto insurance, if he has any doesn't cover his usage of electric scooters.

So she was facing a liability for fixing the car, perhaps some sort of insurance fraud on his part, AND her insurance was going to list an incidence of her "striking a pedestrian." Fortunately she found out there was some CCTV footage that exonerated her, but all of that just so some drunk a--hole can zoom around on a scooter and the scooter companies make money?

Chinese Court Says Apple Infringed on Qualcomm Patents
I realized that a Chinese court just acknowledged the fact that Qualcomm has a portfolio of patents not relate to modems and still widely used by many very popular phones.

it seems to me that this actually gives Qualcomm extra justification to its policy of determining the licensing fee based on the cost of the whole phone rather than just the modem. sounds like a huge win for Qualcomm.
