> 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.

I've been writing it from the top on down. So the past few days I spent adding the preliminary whole-Danbooru2018 StyleGAN runs ( https://www.gwern.net/Faces#anime-faces-danbooru2018 https://www.gwern.net/Faces#anime-faces-ffhq-danbooru2018 ), the FFHQ transfer experiments ( https://www.gwern.net/Faces#ffhq-variations ), the appendix ( https://www.gwern.net/Faces#appendix ) with all my past GAN experiments (required quite a bit of spelunking through my Twitter & dusty source code repos), the encoding/editing of StyleGAN images ( https://www.gwern.net/Faces#reversing-stylegan-to-control-mo... ), and of course a whole bunch of formatting & copyediting.
I don't understand why one would allow untrusted IPs to upload software to be spread like this.

Putting new updates on such a system should be part of a process with many checks on the way to verify the authenticity of the software?

I'm not sure what you mean by "scrollbar" input, but maybe <input type="range"> fits?
Oddly, the main website doesn't have many examples but if you scroll down far enough on the github page there are examples and links to a demo repo.
Okay, now you have to support a Docker cluster, backups for persistent data, and deal with things like DNS, proxy, etc. management. It's easier than doing those from scratch but it's still a non-zero amount of work which will at best take time away from that small side project and at worst cause major problems if you never come back to installing security updates, running backups, testing the restore process, etc.

Scroll wheel is used to zoom in a number of applications, and I find it to be very useful.

I'll admit, I prefer something like CTRL+<scroll> or something to trigger it as an alternative behavior, but that's a minor qualm, really.
I think you're pointing to the wrong "they". The "biased by their politics" problem isn't with the mainstream news sources so much as the people who assume that anything that doesn't fit their worldview is a Deep State Lie.
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.

I think there is a problem with this technique.

Computing a kernel is an inverse problem, which is more difficult than solving a system for a given right-hand-side.

Linear algebra tells us to never invert a matrix, and here we're actually fabricating the inverse physically.

Or, of course, perhaps I'm misunderstanding something.

As a jr. dev who recently changed careers from something else technical to web development I have a bit of a concern about how the attributes of a jr. dev in web development are often portrayed as inherently negative. I feel like I see this far more in the development space compared to my past career (networking). This is just my impression, i'm a n00b, so I'm not at all sure how widespread it is.

In the networking land if I saw someone's messed up VLAN config I'd sit down with them "Hey man I see what I think you wanted to do, let's talk about what we want to do here and some other ways to get you what you wanted here."

In the dev world (particularly online) I often see citations about something silly jr. dev does as just being "bad", but those things are what people do... while they're learning to do it better. So some guy fires up create react app to quickly put together an app, maybe he didn't have to, maybe it was somewhat less efficient to use CRA, but in doing so he learns a ton about react outside of the scaffolding and etc. Being a not so great dev is also what you do while learning to be better.

I'm not at all sure if the purpose of these Koans here so maybe I'm off topic, but that's just an observation of mine.
Selling 200m+ phones a year and owning 44% of the US domestic market is hardly 'Bugatti of Phones'.

What's tapping out is the pool of first time iPhone buyers, but fortunately for Apple, iPhones are very 'sticky'. Existing users are very highly likely to replace an iPhone with a new iPhone, and in fact the bulk of sales have been to previous iPhone owners for several years.

When people talk about iPhone sales slowing, they're taking about growth slowing. Actual sales are just levelling off. From here on out we'll see some ups and downs, sure. It looks like we're in for a period of economic risk and uncertainty too which isn't good for anyone, but I don't see any good reason to expect a sustained decline compared to the rest of the market.
> I'm not finding a lot on the dangers (if any) of more diverse exercise (where you keep moving with elevated heart rate for a long, sustained, time period, but don't do the same movements every day or every hour in a single day).

This sounds like what the human body is specifically evolved to do, so I'd imagine it's fairly safe and good for you. It seems like the sort of exercise one would get from tracking an animal for a few hours through the forest before killing it with a spear.

> 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).

That looks like a framework-specific issue and if that’s how you process incoming numbers from the Internet, you are clearly doing something wrong.

Anyone on the Internet will reasonably expect that a decimal number provided to a Internet input-field will be interpreted as a decimal number.

Anything else, unless explicitly stated, is by definition an error on the part of the application developer.
"You can call me a rich bastard in the press all you want, as long as I'm still rich."
>Likewise, this is doing the same for numbers, at least in Safari. Again, nobody wants that. I can't think of any good reason ever to have that as a "feature". I can't even imagine what goes through the minds of people who think that's a good idea. Worst. Design. Decision. Ever.

Maybe you have a small imagination? :)

I use the scroll-to-change-number-input feature quite a lot, for one. Since you have your mouse already in hand, it's faster and more comfortable than switching to keyboard/numpad for quick adjustments or inputting small values; and definitely better than clicking the tiny arrow (does anybody use these anymore?) 32 times or clicking and holding.
It is kind of crazy how weapons can long outlive the war they were made for, and sometimes even outlive the country that created them. My favorite example of this is that Syria was fighting Israel in the 1950s and 1960s with Panzer IV tanks and StuG III assault guns. And Israel at the time was using some (heavily modified) M4 Sherman tanks. It's a rather odd image, Shermans and Panzers still dueling on the battlefield 20 years after WWII.
I admit that my rather sarcastic comment was a bit snarky. I am genuinely surprised though that people find this newsworthy. It's pretty obvious that if you're going to downgrade anything you'll lose something, no? I also find it very surprising that the OP was so astound that the lost triggers had to be re-configured if he was to upgrade again. Maybe it's just me, but this really felt pretty standard and extremely obvious, which is maybe why I wrote this rather snarky comment. Still wrong of me, so I take that feedback.
I don't disagree with you at all and my reply should not be construed as criticism, but I just want to point out how funny the line, "Vim is how much you want to get out of it," is.

Family separation started under Obama and the rise in hate crimes is a false narrative. Violence has actually decreased over the past decade. Journalists are only covering specific cases because it pushes the idea that Trump=bad.

The vietnamese that got deported also committed crimes. He didn't deport everyone, which isn't really that bad.

Again, he hasn't really done much of anything and is mostly a lame duck president.
think about what the fish would have to do -- it would have to realize what the problem was, what change would solve it, and then command its body to make that change, all without the benefit of any scientific knowledge. If we could do those sorts of things, we could solve a host of genetic diseases without medical science.

The central problem for Lamarckism is explaining how the body is supposed to know which changes are beneficial. A blacksmith might develop a strong right arm, but also tennis elbow.

This is roughly how Java works with anonymous types closing over variables also. That's why the variables must be declared `final`. It just copies the local values over into the anonymous type and calls it a day. Of course, since the only thing allocated on the stack are primitives and pointers, and everything on the heap is subject to garbage collection, this is a pretty straight-forward operation.

I don't know if lambdas work the same way. I know in some ways they work like anonymous types, and not in others.
How can an AI system be "superhuman in performance" when it can't generalise outside its training set and requires vast amounts of data to have good predictive accuracy on that single training set?

What is really the case is that some AI systems (in particular, deep neural net classifiers) have superhuman accuracy and that again only in classification tasks.

Edit: I'm not being contrary for the sake of it. I think there is a very useful insight to draw from the success of deep neural network classifiers: that it is possible to perform classification without any kind of understanding of the objects, or their classes, at all. In the past, AI researchers operated under the assumption that reasoning and inference would be required to perform this task, but we know now that such abilities are not necessary if the task is only to classify objects. It's also clear that in some cases dumb classification can replace reasoning- as long as a reasoning problem can be reduced to dumb classification.

However- humans clearly have the ability to reason and draw inferences (regardless of how often we do that successfully). There must be some explanation for this. Why do we have an intelligence that goes beyond simple object recognition? What is the point of having a broad intelligence? It must mean that there is more to intelligence than tasks that can be reduced to classification. So reducing "performance" to "accuracy" (of classification) risks fudging an important difference between the "superhuman" abilities of machines and human abilities.

In the end, the question is what are humans good at and why can't machines do the same things, even though they can beat us roundly in other tasks? What is the difference between tasks that are easy for machines and tasks that are easy for humans?
I used to hate cubicles until I experienced an open office plan. I now know things could be better, but they can easily be far worse.
It wouldn't stabilize tracer rounds, it was perfectly fine with standard issue rounds. The manual bold close wasn't in Stoners original design, it was requested by the military. In my opinion the internal piston design is the true genius of this rifle. Recoil is almost straight back so follow up shots are much easier.

As the Russians seem to be moving to 5.56 the American military is looking to move to the 6mm class.
It's possible to repair this? My iPhone SE's sleep / wake button died just last Friday. I took it to an Apple store and they basically said my only options were to buy a refurbished phone or a new phone.
Sure it's important and maybe one day we will understand:

1. Why it happens

2. Whether or not it is positive or negative

3. How to engineer society to work differently

But as it stands now, we don't know any of that and programs that try to force women into STEM fields are just weird. I mean, I am all for programs that help them feel welcome and accepted and uninhibited in STEM careers because some of them do choose to be programmers and such and they should be respected and treated fairly. But programs that look at the gender gap and assume it is a problem that needs to be fixed are just dumb.

I also prefer the open source concept, but I always have--in the back of my mind--the case of Azer Koçulu:

https://qz.com/646467/how-one-programmer-broke-the-internet-...

I recognize that it's a leap to go from deleting a repository to converting it toward malicious intent (although sometimes it's likely not as big of a leap as we think), but as open source continues to build libraries on top of other libraries we do open ourselves to the risk that one of those innocuous libraries, at some point in the future, could end up causing issues.

The other problem is that open source users often expect that the "crowd" will discover and identify issues fairly quickly because everyone is looking for them. But not everyone is looking for them. I can probably count on two hands the number of times I've gone through the source code of the libraries that I use, and I suspect most others are in a similar position. We all expect some bored soul in the world is doing the looking, but the truth is that they'll only start looking if something breaks.
To me it matters how open. I want to share a room with the members of my team, I don't want to share it with noisy salespeople. I've worked at many companies that get it right, but a few get very wrong.

This is a common issue in design of objects that interface with your hands - whether consciously or not, they typically get designed either large for men's hands, or small for women's hands. A cordless drill and and handheld kitchen mixer have the same type of interface, but the diameter of the grips of the latter are almost always smaller because of the assumptions about what sort of person is going to interact with it. What's frustrating about the smartphone market these days is that no-one seems to be making high-end phones that cater to people with small hands, especially when that's as much as half the market!
Don't play passive-aggressive, you know very well what I meant.

That is essentially the status quo. The issue is not patents, it is that Iran does not have the technology to manufacture these drugs.

Unlike copyright, patents are country-specific. If you register a patent in the US, it is not valid in Argentina. If you register a patent in Russia, you cannot sue people for infringement in the US. There are of course trade agreements and other treaties that make it possible to register a patent in one country and have it recognized in multiple others. But for the most part, you have to register a patent in every country you wish to enforce it. Since in general, US does not allow US companies to do business with Iran, none of these patents are registered or recognized in Iran.

Iran is not even a signatory of international copyright treaties, let alone bilateral patent recognition treaties. In general, any IP produced outside of Iran is fair game in Iran and vice versa. The issue is not the laws, it is that the technology to make them is not available in Iran, and any attempt to purchase the technology is thwarted with the same sanctions regime.

I think he's trying to make the argument that AI need not be limited to automating tasks that directly replace human jobs but can also augment human labor in a way that enables people to do new things that couldn't previously be imagined. It's a variation on the old economics story of how the bulldozer does not replace humans with shovels, it enables those humans to build skyscrapers instead of being limited to building shacks.

He's making a valid argument in the abstract. However, like so many authors from outside the field, his concept of AI is primarily informed by works like The Singularity Is Near and Superintelligence, and completely disconnected from the current state of the art and its development for the foreseeable future.
Perhaps it's some sort of the Stockholm syndrome but I am now at the point where the open office noise has become white noise. And it is making me perform better. The constant chatter, ringtones, speakerphones, toilets flushing, coffee beans grinding, printers buzzing. There is a rhythm to it. It's a living organism of sound.

Who am I kidding, anyone need a Java/Kotlin back-end developer?
Interesting hack, but not really a surprise that attackers are continuing to look at supply chain's to get into targets that might otherwise be quite hardened.

From what I've seen of PC laptops, in many cases (especially with companies that don't usually have large corps as customers) they don't provide the option for corporates to enforce downloads of firmware/utilities from a company controlled source, so they'll come from the vendor's central location.

So Asus' risk profile isn't going to include good defences against high-end/state-level attackers, so it's a nice vector for one of that class of attacker to get into companies who are customers of Asus'.

It would seem like the attacker must have had some foreknowledge of what systems they wanted to target (i.e. that their target used Asus laptops) but that's not impossible to achieve.
And for therapeutic applications as well.
You're talking about undefined behaviour - this is a badly broken feature of C++ because it does not move the local variable it references onto the heap or some other alternate data structure.

Look up the upwards funarg problem.

> The upwards funarg problem arises when the calling function refers to the called/exited function's state after that function has returned. Therefore, the stack frame containing the called function's state variables must not be deallocated when the function returns, violating the stack-based function call paradigm.

C++ violates the constraint we're talking about.
