Your comparison to Freud and Jung refutes the very point you're trying to make.

I have approximately the same (quite high) level of lay-person interest in psychology as I do in science, and I know more about Jung than I do about Freud.

On Jung's Wikipedia page, the "In Popular Culture" section contains 19 items. Freud's page doesn't have such a section - though of course he is still very well known in the mainstream, but not materially more so than Jung.

Turing's "Portrayal" section on his Wikipedia page contains 14 items across theatre, literature, music and film. No comparable section exists for Shannon, and you couldn't create one that would come close to Turing's.

This is all that your parent was trying to say. Not that Shannon is unrecognised within his field or "less recognizable to the man on the street as top athletes or rock stars", but less recognised in mainstream culture than fellow computer scientist Alan Turing.

Returning to your original comment:

> Yeah! Nobody has heard of that guy. His Mathematical Theory of Communication only has 112 thousand (!!!) google scholar citations, apparently the #4 most cited paper of all time in any field (#1–3, 5–9 are biochem/chem papers, and #10 is clinical psych).

> For comparison, Turing has 5 papers with 10–12k citations each.

The _entire point_ your parent was trying to make was that Shannon is vastly more credentialed and recognized within his field, yet little known in the mainstream.

Why get so worked up over a point on which there's basically no substantive disagreement?

I am less convinced by the same argument used when IE was the dominate browser: that consolidating browser rendering / JS engines is at odds with innovation and freedom.

IE was closed source and proprietary; Chromium is open source and not proprietary. IE was closely integrated with Windows; Chromium is OS agnostic. IE developer tools were completely insufficient or even non-existent; Chromium developer tools are accepted as setting the bar / standard.

Note that I am not advocating for Firefox to adopt Chromium, only that the common argument against that decision seems tired and outdated.

Also interesting is that the PCI SSC is now recommending FIPS 140-2. While not likely relevant to the decision in Alpine, it may be relevant downstream with regard to choosing Alpine to develop on.

I am not trying to sustain anything. I may just have a much more pessimistic outlook on humanity. We can argue pro or con nuclear however much we wan't.

I see a combination of battery banks, pumped hydro, but most of all, a movement to a smart grid, where base load just isn't as important as before. Where consumers and producers of electricity can be turned on and off in a way unheard of today.

The crowing achievements of AI that interact with people are Alexa et al. Alexa can't even tell me what the newest releases are for movies.

It's somehow never the tech companies' fault for willfully designing inept feedback channels or even null-routed feedback channels in Google's case to impede customers communicating with them. I think many companies, especially given $200b in savings, could have handled this report better. Many companies without $200b can receive information from a customer without it passing through journalists first.

What's especially pathetic is it doesn't matter what you're reporting - a grave security bug, a widespread hardware flaw, a longing for better functionality - Apple doesn't want to know. In fact they warned iOS developers against trying to get their attention.

If you run to the press and trash us, it never helps.

Engineers will always say no.
It's the administrator's job to decide which kind of "no" is acceptable.

Here, the problem is not the engineers saying no. It is that for some reason, administrators weren't able to properly discern trivial matters from life threatening ones.
> Your tech-savvy neighbour is the threat 99.99% of people should worry about, not a nation-state funded intelligence agency.

You have a really pessimistic view of neighbors, I must say. If my neighbor walked up to me and asked for my wifi password, I'd probably give it to them.

IMO the threat 99.99% of people should worry about are botnets, whether created by state-level actors, criminal gangs, or script kiddies. These vulnerabilities are not interesting for those purposes.
IBM/Lenovo isn't the only one who does this, and they've been doing it for a very long time. Also, BIOS modding has been a bit of an "underground" hobby for about as long as BIOSes were easily flashable; there are forums full of modded BIOS images which have such whitelists removed as well as other "advanced" features unlocked (e.g. RAM timing configurations, clock frequency controls, etc.), among other things. Pre-UEFI BIOSes had a modular structure too, although it varied between the different companies.

These days, you have to beware of "features" like BootGuard which will make any BIOS modification impossible (unless some exploit is found to bypass it, or a signing key leaks), as well as the "security vultures" who love to report and close any such user-freedom-enabling paths...

What about being lost to low wages countries, with better wage countries keeping the roles of project management and architecture?
This is insightful. Thanks.
Another way to look at it is if you are in an accident, a seatbelt will 99.99% of the time stop you from being ejected from the car. A hard hat will prevent your skull from fracturing when hit in the head. Goggles keep foreign matter out of your eye. The SafeBrowsing blacklist prevents Chrome from automatically loading malicious payloads on unwary users. So in what way does hiding the URL measurably stop the dangerous action? It doesn't. A less hyperbolic parallel would be how cars have changed from showing gauges for engine performance and have only a single "check engine" light for any problem detected by the ECM.

That said I think this change is inevitable. My experience with non-technical users is that the URL is irrelevant Most do not know the difference between typing an address and typing a search phrase.
Not the "hard" part. The "try to imagine".
Size and number of lanes, for me. I think roundabouts are the multi-lane ones, rotaries are much smaller and slower usually. At least this is what I realized on moving from Massachusetts where rotaries were common, to New Jersey where there were many "roundabouts" which required lane changes and no reduction of speed.

I learned what T1, T2, T3, OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48 meant back when counter-strike servers were adding it to their server names. However now that I think about it, most of the OC-3+ servers were straight up lying through their teeth. Still got me to join though.
That’s not how the internet works. Every large provider has third-party connectivity. There’s no wire from Microsoft to your house.

You can buy connectivity from 5 diverse providers per data center, but if one of them continues to advertise your routes while not being able to actually pass traffic to your destination, you’re “down” to some people through no fault of your own.

I’ve had this happen with AT&T, XO/Verizon, and Cogent in recent years. It’s not uncommon. In all cases it was mis-configured ISP routers. Usually a support engineer admits a QoS or DDoS-protection configuration went wrong.
Nice action and indeed interoperability is important for blockchain in gaming. They were several examples that could be inspiring (historically order):
- In 2016 already 2 cards/tokens of https://spellsofgenesis.com/ were playable in another game, http://www.mandelduck.com/sarutobi/
- In the same ecosystem (on Counterparty/Bitcoin), several games & collections of https://app.bookoforbs.com/ have common playable items: Spells of Genesis, Force of Will, Age of Rust, Mafia Wars, etc. even with other games like Augmentors, or in another blockchain like with Beyond the Void (on Ethereum)
- Cryptokitties.co allowed kittyhats.co and then promoted the concept with https://www.cryptokitties.co/kittyverse
- Alto made a challenge contest for its crypto-items usable in multiple games https://contest.alto.io/
- Enjin followed the trends with their “metaverse” initiative
- etc.
So the concept is old, but had nice feedback from players

I've never pirated music. I did torrent few movies and shows . when there was no easy legal way to get them. A couple of apps too. Never music though. And I had no bittorrent client for a few years now.
Why… That's a good question. First of all I am not interested in hoarding all the media ever produced. Most of it would not even be interesting to me. Second, I want so show some appreciation to the artist I like even if they get only a small percentage of what I pay.
I may be outlier in my relationship with the music though. I do not get the urge to have it in my ears for 24/7. It is something I listen to not just a background or the way to drone out my own thoughts. So the smaller collections of the stuff I really like is enough.

They don't need you to defend them, they are probably 100000x richer than all of us discussing this here put together.

This is an honest question because I can't understand the motivation behind it. If you are one of those people defending facebook, why are you doing it?

> "Make a PR" actually means "This seems not to be relevant enough for the current maintainers to do it, and if it feels important to you, you should write it yourself and post a patch", which is a good answer.

> We saw the same with the printing press: the Powers That Be first banned it, then tried to control it, and eventually had to relent.

All of those phases have already happened - banning (RIAA lawsuits), control (iTunes), relent (Spotify). We've reached the endgame - it's streaming.

Yes, the cache issue is why I was suggesting to instead just exercise a little more control about where the heap allocated array is actually located. Choosing a longer lifetime for the array than the lifetime of the function that uses the array, one might already have achieved that the thing is cached. Another option could be to require a temporary array argument from the caller. Or (as someone else suggested) delegating that problem to the GC (which I assume might be able to use "young generation" memory).

Ah yeah, forgot about the automatic lights. Those things are an absolute pain.

It also reminded me of another issue (which may or may not be a general WeWork issue). Lifts/elevators. I swear these things are programmed in the least useful ways possible in these buildings, since they seem to think the floor with the reception area is more important than anywhere else in the building. So you'll be on say floor 3, request a lift, notice one's at floor 4, then notice said lift goes to floor 7 first for reasons no one quite knows.

> Being peer-to-peer it could be considered a spiritual successor to Napster.

Napster's popularity was not because of P2P or something else. The only reason Napster succeeded was convenience. Bittorrent cannot be the successor because it is not as convenient.

> In my case it's strictly a case of availability - I happily pay for Netflix, Amazon Prime and Spotify as well as whatever software I use.

Everyone pays now because it is convenient to pay at 2-3 places for all your needs. Once you have to start paying at a separate place for every different series/movie you want, you will stop paying. It is not only about availability. It is about availability AND convenience

And Steam is facing the same issues as Netflix with Epic Store and Origin breaking away because EA and Tim wanted more money.
Well, one is from malfunctioning nuclear reactors, the other thing is a nuclear bomb. Quite different things.

Air burst bombs don't produce as much dangerous fallout as ground bursting ones. Ground bombs causes debris on the ground to be ground up to dust and mutated into radioactive isotopes. Nuclear power plants acquire over time nasty radioactive products in the spent fuel.

What I was alluding to above though, was that in the event of total war, what the enemy (regardless of sides) will target, is large centralized infrastructure. Such as power plants, including nuclear. So if we have to rebuild in the aftermath, the harder it gets, the more we relied beforehand on centralized power plants, like nuclear plants. Since these will have been bombed to craters.

In this scenario, I'm not even considering fallout - just how easily we could get any infrastructure up and running again.

> "We were talking to the people who had the power to stop that launch."

The problem is that the people who had the power to stop the launch were managers dealing with other concerns. Engineers should have the power to stop the launch.

And with principles like Agile and Lean, engineers are fortunately increasingly getting empowered to stop a launch if they feel it would be irresponsible. I hope NASA now uses these sort of principles too.

I believe Spotify has some API terms that say that explicit permission must be granted for monetization. I initially also went for the 'ask-for-forgiveness' route but Stripe didn't allow my account to get started at all as it was considered high risk.

Nintendo doesn't have these kinds of failures, they're pretty analogous to Apple. Hardware and software. What's the difference? Nintendo cares and Apple doesn't. (Not to say Nintendo is issue free by any means).

Maybe they should put some of that $250b in cash to work upgrading their processes.
I just skimmed over the paper (don't really have time to sit and read it down right now), but it seems it's about like this:

1. They captured the ECoG of people hearing stories (for training). They also captured ECoG of people saying numbers 0 to 9.

2. They trained the vocoder with those parameters as an autoencoder that goes from 516 parameters down to 256 and back again to 516. The 516 parameters are spectral envelope, pitch, voicing and aperiodicity.

3. They trained the models to receive as input the HG and LF signals (from the ECoG I think -- don't really know wht these names mean, just what the figures on the paper show). The (expected) output for the models was either the audio spectrogram or the vocoders 256 encoding.

So I'd go with "opaque ML approach" to answer your last question. As for the mathematical operations involved (in general), I dind't read the detailed explanation (if there is one) of how the networks are working, but probably ReLU activations and summation over parameters, like most DNNs.

Where I live Direct Connect (mainly the open source client DC++) was the most popular P2P network after Napster. One big difference is that you can share any kind of file, not just music. It even had hashing, so you could find copies of files with different names, and download from multiple sources at once.

It's still around, but I never hear about anyone using it even though it's more flexible than Napster.

A major feature and downside, depending on who you are, is that you can browse all files a user is sharing. This is great for discovering new things, but also means that copyright holders could sue you for all shared files, not just one at a time like with Bittorrent.

Thinking about it, Kazaa was also more flexible than Napster and maybe a stronger household name than DC++.
