>Actual digital circuits are not bound to that constraint.

Yes they are. Hardware can parallelize, but does not remove asymptotic complexity for arbitrarily sized problems. It only changes the hidden constant cost.

The paper result is for unbounded size for n. Hardware has fixed size n, and for a fixed size n, any problem is constant time O(1).

> The first company to figure out how to leverage the massive unlabeled data that is available will win the AI arms race.

I would expect that this will remain a per-task question for a very long time, maybe even forever. For example, I was amazed at how elegant https://openai.com/blog/unsupervised-sentiment-neuron/ is for an unsupervised model for sentiment analysis.

I think there are numerous similar application in text understanding and I would not be suprised to eventually seen many sota systems learn in an unsupervised fashion.
Still, there remain many other tasks (in general, but also for text understanding) where this and similar strategies do not seem applicable to me -- or at least where I cannot directly imagine how they should be.

I would not be suprised if we end up with many, many successful strategies to apply unsupervised learning -- many completely different, and thousands of problems still being used with the help of supervised learning. Not with a "company to figure out" a general case

I'm not sure I fully understand the question but you the only limitation to the unsend feature is the message being 'read'. You can send and unsend as many times as you like.

If the article is correct, the schedule pressure was entirely manufactured: In the AR-15, the US had a reliable, production-ready assault rifle, that those in the infantry who had tested it were enthusiastic about, but the ordnance board delayed and eventually stopped its adoption with dogma-driven design changes that led to the M-16 also being unreliable as well as late.
The main points being:

1. If you need it, and there's not a Clojure alternative, you don't have to write your own.
2. If you have any proprietary .jars or anything like that, you can leverage those services, models, etc when building an existing Clojure app. This is mainly a transition-type thing, in my experience. "Well, we could try Clojure but then we cant reuse any of our existing models." Not entirely true. However, you probably will want to change those from mutable classes pretty quickly :)
If you really want to get some perspective watch Ian's videos on some 1930s and 40s semi-auto rifles. The SA80s ergonomics and build quality are what you'd expect from a decades older design.
Swift/Cocoapod: Forget NSAttributedString and Use Prestyler
None of the ML people I’ve worked with (mostly at FB and Google, ymmv) have seriously believed we are anywhere close to human-like AI. The shortcomings of current ML systems are well understood — given metric tons of data, they are really great nonlinear regressors and data interpolators. They are absolutely terrible at generalizing, with no obvious solutions to this on the horizon.

Yes, TFA says nothing about what happens after surviving the fall. But from Burko and Khanna (2019) I get this:

> The fate of an astronaut who falls into a black hole depends not just on the latter’s properties (such as the intrinsic parameters, i.e., the mass and spin angular momentum, and the external perturbation fields) but also on the former’s worldline. ... However, astronauts with positive energy and low angular momentum (including counterrotating ones) arrive at the outgoing leg of the black hole’s inner horizon ("outgoing inner horizon", henceforth, OIH).

> The properties of spacetime at the OIH have been proposed to be those of an effective shock wave singularity. Specifically, it was proposed in [2] that daughters of a family of free-falling astronauts whose geodesics intersect with the OIH, and who are separated only by time translations (and labeled by the advanced time values at which they cross the event horizon (EH) [symbols]) experience a change of order unity in typical metric perturbations, and that these changes occur over a lapse of proper time that drops like [symbols] with increasing [symbols], where [symbols] is the surface gravity of the OIH. Sufficiently late-falling daughters therefore experience an effective shock wave singularity, the Marolf-Ori singularity ("outflying singularity").

I have no clue what that means. Anyone?

Your first point is trivial. Shooting a fixed point target from a fixed position is very different from shooting a moving target with an unknown position from an unknown position. The rifle qualification exists to establish that soldiers know how to aim the rifle, not to establish that they can hit a real target.
Thanks! I know there's a difference but couldn't remember which one was which. Is the verizon one CDMA and tmobile is GSM?
I said “refugees and economic migrants.” A quarter of the foreign born in Ireland are from the UK. 2/3 are from the rest of Europe (mostly the EU). I’m going to guess that these are mostly not refugees and economic migrants. Half of Sweden’s foreign born population, likewise, is European (with Finns being the largest group). And much of the balance is very recent—after Finns, the next two largest groups are Iraq and Syria (so likely they came here in the last 20 years). Contrast this to the US, where many people whose families came here as refugees and economic migrants are not “foreign born” because we’ve been accepting such immigration at high levels for more than a century.
I seem to recall a recent discussion pointing out an issue with leading zeros in IP addresses being interpreted as Octal, leading to possible invalid addresses like 09.09.09.09 (9 isn't valid Octal).

So just because something looks like a number doesn't mean that you can do 'safe' things like add leading zeros.
Just curious: how is this any better than an analog circuit (possibly an IC) solving the same problem?

> If it appears they have become more focused on financial success recently, that's more likely due to market saturation than it is to any categorical change in their priorities.

One could also cast it as an entirely predictable consequence of replacing a CEO who came up as a product person with one who came up as an operations person.

Apple's no stranger to saturating markets. They used to grow past that point, in part, by expanding into new markets that were peripherally related to the ones they already dominated in, and becoming a dominant player at those as well. They were remarkably good at it, too, with very few major missteps. They don't seem to be so good at that game anymore,though, so they're falling back on the top leadership's top skill: Expanding margins.

You're definitely right. I had a run in with PolyML in College and I was absolutely terrified of any functional language (nearly failed the class, in fact). Before deciding to switch from Python to Clojure, I had used Clojure briefly a few years before and hated it (was writing mostly Groovy at the time).

After some time to grow, I had started caring about different principles in the languages that I used. I had been ruined by mutable state too many times; I got tired of not knowing how to get the number of wheels on your instance of the car class, I got tired of so many things. Clojure was/is a wonderful reprieve from all of these things, but truth be told, I do still struggle with it from time to time. Or at least, it feels like I do.

> Most AI researchers and economists studying its consequences view it as a way of automating yet more tasks. No doubt, AI has this capability, and most of its applications to date have been of this mold — e.g., image recognition, speech recognition, translation, accounting, recommendation systems, and customer support. But we do not need to accept that this as the primary way that AI can be and indeed ought to be used.

I don't agree with the premise that automation is necessarily "the wrong kind of AI". Empowerment of workers as it is described in the article as a means of creating "many new, high-productivity tasks for labor" mostly requires automation of simpler routine tasks to be delegated. In that sense, I think the main problem is making AI tools accessible to the same people whose task is automated in the first place.
I can think of only one tool that will test, score and identify accessibility issues, as well as track progression/regression over time. A testing tool provided by User1st. uTester

That said, automated testing can test anywhere from 30-40% of WCAG, leaving the rest to be found by a manual review. If you are not familiar with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver or TalkBack then a large portion of WCAG on your site(s) will go un-tested.

I only wish there were more. I have been thinking a lot about junior developers and how to meet them where they are. Once you've been around the block a few times it is hard to put yourself in that mindset, but in order to help them be effective and efficient (and to keep them around) it seems like you have to.
For a novice like me, it sounds a bit like quantum computing, where rather than "digitalizing" a physical problem like we do with classic computing, we use physical properties of elements (like the spin of an electron) to solve it. How far does this analogy go ?

It's really not that bad! Here are some insights into the parens!

1. I've converted Java code over to Clojure and found that it has less parens per file.

2. They're still there, they're just in a different place. `System.out.println("")` vs `(println "")`

3. There are some great tools to help with the Parens. If you're using Intellij, Pareninfer and Rainbow parens are two extremely helpful tools.

gwern, first off I'd like to mention I absolutely love your work! It's always a pleasure to read your longform writeups on StyleGAN, even if half of it admittingly goes over my head. :)

Can I ask what was modified recently about the write up? I remember reading it a few days back but I see at the top that it was recently modified.

As an aside, I wonder when we'll see the first "fake artist" using TWDNE and Waifu2x then photoshopping/cleaning up some of the irregularities of the generations to output a bunch of "well drawn art". Someone who's decently talented could also use it as a shortcut to avoid a lot of time spent drawing faces/hairstyles and use the generated faces as a starting point.

There is a more serious impact of downgrading if you were hosting a static website from a private repository on github with a pro account. Apparently that's not supported with free account. My personal website went down as soon as I downgraded to free. I didn't mind making the repo public, so it was an easy fix, but may not be same for others.

C++ closures do not, by themselves, use the heap. Every closure in C++ gets translated by the compiler to a unique type that contains either copies of or references to the objects being closed over. If you choose to use copies, then whether or not anything is allocated on the heap depends on the copy constructor; if you use references then there is no copying, but it's up to you to ensure lifetime.

Interesting, protected branches come free in GitLab. I never used Github to host my serious repos (I was using Bitbucket as soon as they started providing Git in addition to Hg).

I would suppose that as time passes by, Microsoft will improve the free offering avaialable on their service.
But isn't that a new behavior? Before I subscribed 1-2 year ago I read small characters pretty carefully, and in my memories in such case the behavior was to lock the previously private repo in a read-only state. Switching back to pro would then have restored full functionalities and setting on theses privates repos.

Automatically making it public seems like a new behavior, could someone confirm/infirm my memories?

my guess is that the righteous anger you felt while writing this post will be converted to regret down the road, possibly years later.
This is something I really appreciated about some of my well-taught graduate classes (of course, "well-taught" is a big caveat). In undergrad there's often a sense that the professor is supposed to teach you the material. In advanced topics, though, I often found it most useful if the professor actually skipped most of the details, and served as more of a tour guide of the landscape of material for me. Once I know that some specific topic can be learned from a specific tutorial, book chapter, etc., then I can just go learn it on my own. But what's hard is figuring out how to make your way through this sequence entirely DIY, i.e. knowing what to read in what order, whether you're on the right track, where to look if you get stuck, and having someone to answer big-picture questions about how things fit together, why something that seems obvious to me isn't true, etc., etc. I've found some of the best courses helped with that.

A good textbook can also serve this role, but I've found good textbooks rarer than well-taught graduate classes. A lot of textbooks don't really seem to be designed for self-teaching the topic by reading it sequentially cover-to-cover. Maybe because they're often intended to be used in courses, they often have too much material, presented in a somewhat haphazard way, with an expectation that a course instructor will pick and choose parts and supplement it with lectures.
I don't have the quote, but Alan Greenspan actually said the rapid lowering and raising of rates was part of the trigger. The financial environment was also not good, but they set it off:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_funds_rate#/media/File...

Note the massive drop (stimulus) in the early 2000s. That pushed debt levels up and encouraged the crappy loans and all that. Then the rapid increase set it off. Home prices vary inversely with interest rates, so raising them rapidly cooled the market and put all that cheap debt under water.

I write Clojure, Kotlin, and Scala all on a pretty regular basis. Truthfully, I do write less Clojure now than at the time I wrote this post, but that's predominantly because my current interest (and salary) are centered around Kotlin + Android.

I still write Clojure quite a far amount, but I don't blog about it as much as I'm not "exploring" the language as much. Sometimes, I'll find or create something cool and share it, but most likely that'll be Kotlin/Android related right now.
They're asking if the unsend feature exposes whether the message has been read..... but I can see in the screenshots that there's a 'read' indicator anyway, isn't there? So it was a ignorant question and I wouldn't worry about it.

Gnome3 has a serious performance issue.

Honestly, what drove me away from it was the fact that the whole DE seems to run on a single thread, meaning that any extension or animation going on the top panel, or anything else on the interface for that matter, creates microstutters in the compositor.

I have a relatively beefy machine (AMD FX 8 cores @4.4GHz, R9 290x GPU), if I have an application running at 60fps (something really simple like glxgears) and I click on any panel menu (like the calendar), the application stutters.

That's correct! I did not want to give up Clojure or Scala for Android however! I tried writing an app in both and it was miserable, so I went back to Java. And then I thought -- well, hang on, I'm definitely not going to write this in Java if there's a less-verbose alternative. So I forced myself to learn Kotlin and actually like it quite a bit. In a few ways, it reminds me of when I first worked with Groovy.

I don't see where the assertion made in the abstract, that current labor demand stagnation and wealth inequality is due to AI, is evidenced in the body of the paper. And I'd find it very surprising if it were true.

Anecdotally, I'd also argue against the thrust of the paper. New roles are being created as a consequence of AI. One could argue that a significant proportion of data science is a direct consequence, for example.

That's not to say that it won't be problematic. It's not at all obvious that the occupants of jobs that will likely disappear through AI automation (call centres and drivers in the immediate future) are the people that will be employed in the new fields. However, this strikes me as a version of the "Detroit problem" rather than something new.
