>convolutional layers in neural networks have a very specific structure, which encodes strong prior knowledge that we have about the problem space

Yes. The point of the author is that it doesn't do this symbolically.

Don't get confused with the terms "brute force", "neural net", etc.

The main idea of the author is that AI that uses brute force, simpler statistical methods, NN, etc, wins over AI that tries to implement some deeper reasoning about the problem domain the way humans do (when thinking about it consciously).

> The parent always had a playful, fun tone.

I wonder how much of it is done in a playful tone and how that translates to a lesson rather than raw fear. Or at least fear may not be the primary element at play here.

When a parent says, "If a you walk too close to the water, the monster will put you in his pouch, drag you down to the ocean and adopt you out to another family," the child may partially worry that it is true but suspects that the story is too far out to be believed, especially if the parent tells it in a playful tone. There's an element of fear preventing the child from going too near the ocean, but that element is couched in playfulness.

Fear is not an unhealthy emotion for children. There should be SOME fear that if he runs in the road, he'll get hurt. Or if he climbs somewhere high he may fall. The trick is to not overwhelm the child.

Strategic Violence During Democratization: Evidence from Myanmar
Having dealt with Apple, this letter exposes the infuriating position I sense they have.

I believe they feel entitled to do whatever they want on iOS because they created it. That they have first dibs on any product or service on the platform, and that if they allow you on the platform you should reward them through money (dev fees and revenue cuts) for the privilege they are extending to you on top of the product you paid for (not unlike ISPs who wanted to charge Netflix in addition to their customers). And they don’t particularly care about the impact to their users because they feel their users should be grateful for the UX and quality of their hardware/OS.

They’ve told us we should be thankful for the customers they bring to us as a developer.

It reminds me of rich people who feel like they earned everything they have themselves and don’t realize they depend on the people and ecosystem they exist in.

It’s arrogant and infuriating. Apple somehow seems to have consistently acted this way for decades. And they seem to undervalue the body of software iOS is built on top of and the ecosystem of apps that makes their platform sticky.

They’ve always pushed their own, often walled garden, solutions. And it was annoying but their prerogative... until they gained market manipulating power on the computing platform of the decade.

US officials offered my friend cash to take down Tehran’s power grid
It's nice to see Apple admitting that they have for a long time, and for the detriment of everyone, fused two very distincts roles.

The first is distributing software, and the second is processing payments.

Incredibly, the first is free for everyone, even if you distribute billions of copies of your app, which doesn't make any sense in a vacuum.

But they allowed themselves to become the only payment processor available on their hardware, while there are a ton of options in the wild, and this payment processor takes a 30% cut. This is roughly ten times what Stripe charges for the exact same service !

If Apple really wanted to allow a fair competition on their hardware, they would provide these two services independently, and allow competition on the payment processing part.

It would mean start charging for app distribution, but that would only make sense anyway, since they endure a cost (however low) on every download.

But of course, it's not what they want (nor what google wants with the App Store). They want to have a monopoly on payment processing, because that's where you can extract as much money as you want.

Which leads to these ubuesque situations where greedy corps #1 fight with greedy corp #2, and in the end, it's the customers that are losing anyway due to jacked up prices on non competing-services.

And people saying that there is the option to switch to Android, well...it's the same payment processing fee ! It's really a wonder none of those two giants are competing on that point to attract developers...
Sure Apple makes money off their share of the payment system. Why shouldn't they? They built the whole thing from scratch, including the phones it runs on.

Also Apple doesn't just support the secure payment system, they also handle distributing the money and providing customer support to the end user and the developer. That isn't free either.

If you don't like the Apple model, there are alternatives.

Apple's argument (which seems compelling if we judge it on the result) is that their model is the best solution for customers and developers.
> At the same time, they distribute the music you love while making ever-smaller contributions to the artists, musicians and songwriters who create it — even going so far as to take these creators to court.

Kind of weird to see Apple attacking another company.

>Moreover, that's the pot calling the kettle black. That's the app store in a nutshell -- Apple supplies the marketplace, but is also making a substantial chunk of money off of others’ work.

Yes, but on mobile Spotify doesn't even provide the Marketplace -- only part of it (their own app), the other (the mobile OS, platform, payment processing, consumer trust, marketing, etc) is built by Apple and Google.

I never much enjoyed dynamic programming and I do think it’s a poor choice for timed interview questions, but I did become more interested in it when I realized there are patterns to the cache strategies that can be used to group problems. For example like the usual matrix raster fill approach for e.g. 0-1 knapsack, or sepatately using two cursors to fill the upper triangle of a matrix like for longest common subsequence and for optimal order of associative computation (like matrix multiplication).

Yup... make it from scratch, or use it in a non trivial project, or try and do some original research with it.

All three above will get you asking questions and seeing the thing from angles you wouldn’t have thought about otherwise. It’ll also connect your knowledge to existing knowledge which is ultimately what will make it stick around.

I spend a LOT of time learning new things . I’m perpetually perplexed and live in a constant state of confusion about a large part of my current thoughts, and the way described above is how I perpetually integrate the new stuff effectively.
Well there's a few problems with that. First of all FWD saves money, complexity, and weight on an ICE car because you avoid a long drive shaft, and you can mount the engine transversely which is more compact. You also get more interior room in the car since there's no hump for the drive shaft.

With an electric car you don't save anything with RWD vs FWD, you end up with poorer steering, poorer acceleration, and worse hill climbing, especially if it's snowy or icy. Nor is it cheaper to produce.

As a result even electric cars intended for city use like the BMW i3 and Renault have RWD.

On the model 3 the rear motor is larger and a permanent magnet motor (which is more efficient) and the front motor is an induction motor. So a FWD would have less power than the RWD, and it would also have less range than the RWD. Not sure Tesla would want to try to sell a car slower (because FWD), slower (because of less HP), and with less range (because of efficiency) without it being cheaper to produce.... just to have a FWD.
It's on fdroid
So, what car do you think is best in these respects?
> Thus Spotify effectively doesn't have a choice.

I'm not sure I follow this. When I say choice for Spotify I mean Apple or Google. The industry still allows them to get the same service from the other 85% of the market. I interpret that as "choice", having options. When I go to Malls'R'Us to rent a storefront I only have them as a choice. But I can go to another mall without anyone claiming foul about competition.

Having no choice is when you want internet but there's only one provider. Rejecting that provider doesn't mean you get different internet, or worse. You get none.

And to pick up on the mall analogy above, some storefronts cost more than others especially if they bring in more revenue for the store. And the owner of the mall also has full control over this. Is this not an equivalent situation?

I know I now sound unsympathetic to Spotify's situation but after reading (and later validating) some of the claims Apple is making in this article I can't help but feel like Spotify kind of cheated when they published their call for action by leaving some important stuff out. I had my pitchfork out only to realize the truth is a little more nuanced.
> Even I, as a passenger sometimes look for the lowest price, so the pressure for cost cutting may come from us as well.

Of course you do, and that is not your fault. This is why we have independent regulation organizations like FAA or EASA, to not have matters of security solely in the hand of the free market.
Here's my somewhat similar situation and experience so far.

Was in 3 startups as CTO in Beijing, China for a total of about 5 years. Two folded and the last one took off. Then decided to move with family back to the USA (Bay area). Have been looking for a job for three months.

Except for google, the large companies did not even respond.

Mid sized companies - things go well up to and including technical screening. Then, a wall is hit with the hiring manager and I get a "will not be proceeding to the next step" email. I'm 52. So, age may have a part in it.

Small companies and startups - better response, but usually they dont know what the hell they are doing.
The 30% is for distribution, payment processing (including refunds) and first line customer support, in both directions.

It also includes vetting all app submissions for users.

I would wager that neither Google nor Apple cares about the developers directly. Indirectly they want to make it possible for developers to reach their (Apple's) customers because it's good for the customer.

However, the developer pays apple $99/yr, the customers a great deal more.

I still see the app store as a great thing for customers and developers.

And again, if you don't want to pay apple anything, release your app for free and have your customers login to the app after they buy it somewhere else. But if you want to leverage the app store's reach, you need to pay Apple their share.
Air to breathe didn't generate much money, but try doing away with it. This sort of headline is complete nonsense. Market size is completely orthogonal to actual importance. Likewise prices. Expensive and rare things like Ferraris or Jeff Koon's flowers aren't more important than free things like air, water springs and insects.
Interesting perspective. I wonder what kinds of projects a motivated individual would be able to tackle say, 20-30 years from now.
The FAA Rigorously Tested the Boeing 737’s Software
Big electric motors are actually pretty cheap. They've existed in industry for over a century, and their manufacture is entirely automated. The raw materials cost of two motors each with half the power matches that of one motor.

The motor controllers are probably the more expensive part, although most of the cost there is engineering design cost (much of industry doesn't use fancy motor controllers needed for a car, and cars use high power MOSFETs which are rapidly evolving tech). Tesla designing them in house will eliminate much of the cost over enough volume.

Do I understand it correctly? People buying this now, hope to receive the car in 2022?
This is true, at least for premium cars. However even if the FWD honda and RWD BMW are similar in the flats. The hardest thing to deal with when it's slippery is the climbs, and then the RWD has the advantage.

Even on the flats, when cornering the FWD has the front wheels steering and accelerating, while the RWD uses different wheels for that. Granted not a big difference, especially since when it's slippery you aren't using many HP.

One thing that I learned somehow down the road is apart from not getting angry at other people is to not get angry at yourself. That mirrors, of course we all know that everybody needs to be treated different, but when we just respond out of reflex, this is somehow the "default response".

I assume though that this is indeed only a thing that can be solved in interaction, possibly by talking more also. Maybe reading stories helps though. :) I heard in a Podcast that when you read/watch/hear stories till the end - and not stop when it gets emotionally uncomfortable - you won't miss out on the solution of the story.

counterconspiracy (noun) : a conspiracy to oppose or undermine something (such as another conspiracy)

The big agencies are pretty well versed on this, look at the system approach they take on this one: https://jfkfacts.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Countering-W...

It is not the details of this specific conspiracy that is interesting, but the systematic approach to tackling it.
A pilot might fire up that inference engine between his ears and make a very well educated guess when two sensors disagree, based on which one reacts more in line with how it should react to some exploratory control inputs or the recent control history.

A control loop cannot do that, it is a stupid fact processor that we prefer to do one simple thing reliably than to venture off on inscrutably deep reasoning adventures. A general flight AI would be an entirely different beast than the arsenal of pilot assistance systems currently employed. And just two sensors, simply disengaging the control loop when they disagree, seem insufficient to me when we deemed the control loop necessary in the first place. And this is the easily overlooked bit here: disengaging the MCAS isn't the final step, then you still need to fly the plane that it's manufacturer did not trust pilots to safely operate unassisted by MCAS.

(a general flight AI able to do the sensor trust inference could be an interesting game of adversarial programming though: plug it into a flight simulator, then try to down it with the smallest set of simulated malfunctions and weather)

> It appears that the AOA disagree alert exists on the plane but is an optional paid feature (!).

Oh, that is just crazy. And considering that a bad safe record is just as damaging for Boeing as for the airline, it doesn't seem particularly clever to leave that choice to the customers. Do you have an easily digestible source for that?

That's exactly my point : 30% for everything makes 0 sense !

1. Distribution shouldn't be indexed on the price of what you're distributing. Distribution costs are mostly flat. They could be charging a per MB cost of download, plus a flat cost for app curation for example, it would make sense.

2. 30% for payment processing is ten times what it needs to be.

3. Same as 1., customer support costs doesn't depend on the app revenue, they should be charged independently of that it Apple played fair.

$99 a year is a laughably small amount to pay for big editors, it doesn't even cover bandwidth costs of distributing data. The only point is preventing the app store being literally flooded by low quality apps.

So yes, to leverage the App Store reach, I should pay the App Store something. And that something should nothing at all to do with what my own customers are paying me, which the App Store shouldn't even know to begin with.

In this context, I interpret "conspiracy theorist" as someone who thinks there are relatively large groups of people conspiring, without the majority of people being aware of that. A small conspiracy when playing Diplomacy is believable, but e.g. one in which everyone behind mass media has agreed to put forward a certain message is not.

Thus (not having read it myself), Manufacturing Consent could show how emergent properties of mass media might lead to them pushing a certain incorrect world view, rather than proposing a theory that requires the teams behind them to all agree to conspire and none of them to make that public knowledge.
