> They are not idiots, just highly motivated political operators using papers full of mistakes to make a point.

That's a repeat of the old tired strawman that tries to avoid discussing the facts and the data by depicting any academic who authors an inconvenient paper as being a political agent involved in some widespread anti-socialist conspiracy.

Meanwhile, let's not forget that the people attacking the Roggof&Reinhart paper are somehow criticizing the fact that highly indebted states experience lower growth rates, as if either increasing sovereign debt or siphoning cash from the budget to service debt has no impact on the nation's finances.

I didn't read the Levine article as stating where ETFs games from, rather where they are today.

"I'd argue this is like frequent flyer miles -- the IRS basically gave up on collecting them as taxable income because everyone thought of them as free."

Isn't that what Levine is also arguing? Realpolitik as tax law.

That’s something completely different because you follow right of way laws and can gauge if you can merge or not safely based on their speed you sure as hell not watching what look they give you through your side mirror.

And the “theory of mind” comes to assume the other driver doesn’t want to cause an accident either and will slow down at which case the estimation can be broken to math such as would they have to slow down given the average response time and their speed.

As a person you have no idea as well if they are drunk, paying attention or not the only thing you can see is how fast they are going and usually if they are going well above the speed limit you’ll assume they are jerks and won’t let you merge which luckily is simple enough for the car to do as well
Another thing PHP had was good reference documentation with a comments section for every function.
Leveraging doesn't mean what you think it means. You apply some force (e.g. poor memory) to one end of a lever, with the effect that the force is multiplied and turned to an even greater advantage than it was without the leverage effect. This is an article about overcoming poor memory, which is the exact opposite.

> Having the zombie company isn’t inefficient.

Yes, it is. If the price drops, it becomes that much more feasible for an outsider to rescue it with a takeover bid - either way, the company will surely be viable as a going concern. You don't seem to be making a consistent argument here.
Hub, is that supposed to not be the case with C#? Because I've definitely had that experience at least once, of knowing a variable is initialized and the compiler not "getting" it until I added some semantically redundant formality.

> The problem with economics is the money riding on it. If one day the consensus becomes "raising the minimum wage by $5 only impacts profit; it doesn't impact employment" then a lot of very rich people stand to lose a lot of money as it becomes more politically palatable.

Reality is a bit more nuanced than you depict it [1][2].

So scientists are more or less corrupt, depending on how much you think they agree with you?

You can also use SGX for privacy-preserving enclaves, which makes the combined existence and secrecy of this debugging stack more concerning.

Unless there are countermeasures that we don’t know about, this is a huge backdoor for such systems.

With DRM, the attackers afe consumers. With enclaves, the attackers are Intel and government intelligence agencies.
Ya that's plausible too, although it seems a bit overcomplicated just to annoy your tenants, but you could be right.

Interesting, where does one go to check such a list of intended uses for a web server? Since Baidu has a cloud offering, the likeliest explanation is that the impersonation attempts are by spammers renting the servers from Baidu.

From my very limited understanding pigouvian taxes do not work well if they're dealing with leaky faucets. That is, if I can just drive across state lines from New York to New Jersey to buy plastic bags, New York's plastic tax wouldn't work too well.

This is the lamest holiday. I hope I live to see it retired.
No, the hairdresser/gardener/accountant etc is self-employed. It's a spectrum, but basically it goes from self-employed but not novel all the way across to world-changing. Both are self-employed, but to the difference between the hairdresser and Elon Musk or Steve Jobs isn't scale. It's novelty.
No, high rents in SF aren’t the fault of Venture Capital, except to the extent that VC has helped the economy boom in SF. That’s one factor, but the core problem is that we can’t build enough inventory to match demand to live in the city, largely due to artificial restrictions.
I guess Stripe is big enough to notice for them. But imagine tiny website. Is there any chance to reach gmail developers in case of similar failure? Gmail just makes e-mail an unreliable transport.
"Intended purpose" is at best irrelevant, and often actively toxic, when it comes to reasoning about regulation. Banish it from your mind.
Elon Musk takes huge ambitious gambles. In this case the gamble is that good AI and the huge amount of training data from the Tesla fleet will win out over lidar. It is a gamble. But if you look at other gambles SpaceX and Tesla have taken, the context changes a bit. Everyone talks about innovation, but innovating is actually a gamble.
There's a better balance though. In college you're not sitting in class from 8:00 to 3:00 every day. Half that would be a pretty busy day for actual classes. Or you load up on Mon-Wed-Fri and have no classes Tues-Thu.
Yeah it’s a complete distraction, even if you were living in some dystopian world where each car could ping everyone around it to gauge their citizen score and select the lowest score citizen to run over in this Kobayashi Maru scenario your cars would be much safer if they didn’t waste CPU cycles on this nonsense but rather just focus on the road.

Drivers are drivers doesn’t matter if it’s humans or robots distracting them with nonsense wouldn’t make them better or safer but rather quite the opposite.

“Ironically, the discovery of a galaxy without dark matter — amidst a sea of galaxies that require huge amounts of it — helps prove the validity of the dark matter-rich picture of the Universe. Only if normal matter can be separated out from the dark matter and left to form its own structures would such a galaxy be possible.”

A few thoughts, as a CTO with a small team:

- not everyone needs the same leveling up, and it’s not always technical. I coach one of my junior dev on improving his code, another one in being more confident of her skills. My lead dev is solid on code but doesn’t always take into account the business perspective (i.e. in which context the code will be used, how often, etc)

- my main method of coaching is to ask a lot of questions. How do you plan to implement this feature? Why this way? What’ll happen when <edge case>? Why did you choose this architecture? Have you thought of <situation that’ll result in a bug with the current implementation>? Whenever possible, I don’t say how it should be done but try to bring them around to figuring it themselves. It’s not (always) leading questions, either. I’m not cross-interrogating them, just trying to understand what they did and why

- closely related to above, I let them make their own mistakes. Rather than try to convince someone that their approach won’t work (if the round of questions isn’t enough to clarify this), I let them go ahead. They either figure out on their own that they made a mistake (and then they’re open to discussing alternative solutions), or when the code has become complex enough I ask them to demonstrate a few corner cases. When those fail, sometimes hilariously, we can go back to the design phase. I try to balance how long to let them flounder between “long enough that they learn something” and “not so long that they bear a grudge for being played”

- refactoring their own code (for junior devs). I ask them to come back to a piece of code they wrote mostly on their own, a few months after they’ve worked on it (e.g. something they did as an intern, or one of their first projects). Can you figure out what your code is doing? Hmm, guess some comments and clear method names would come in handy now! How would you do things differently in hindsight? How would you reorganize your code? Once the code is refactored, a before/after comparison to highlight how much better the new code is.

- I’ll sometimes point someone to books or articles and ask them to read it, when I want to make a specific point. E.g. I asked a dev who wrote some very stateful js (lots of methods without a return value would would manipulate global variables in weird ways) to read Learn You a Haskell for Great Good to get him to think about side-effects and how to avoid them when possible.

- I haven’t done this yet, but I thought about a team code advent where everyone would solve the same problem in the same language, and we would compare solutions. This implies setting out some time each day for everyone in the team to work on the problem, so needs a little bit of planning and finding the right time.

I realize that most of these ideas are time consuming, both for me and for the developer. It would be much faster to just tell them how things should be done (at least how I want them to be done), or to point out the mistakes as I see them unfold. But I believe that teaching a man to fish is a much better long-term solution than giving him a fish every day.
Right. The trolley problem assumes vehicles can make optimal split second decisions while right now Tesla can't even tell the difference between the road and a lane divider reliably.

I think one of the most valuable things a team can do to grow each other’s skill is to practice good code review.
Humans kill over 100 people per day in traffic accidents in the US alone - I don’t think no-fail (0 deaths) is a reasonable requirement, just being safer than humans is enough.

I do agree with the OPs skepticism though - full autonomy is 10 years away.
Why should it stay there? Imagine you had a sphere of particles with an initial velocity of 0 that interact only through gravity. At first, these particles would all accelerate towards the center of gravity. Once they reach the center of gravity, they would have accumulated some velocity, and so continue to travel away from the center of gravity (but still be accelerating towards it). Eventually, the acceleration towards the center of gravity would 0 out their velocity again, and they would start falling back towards it. The end result is that your original sphere oscillates indefinantly, but always returns to its original state.

As your initial configuration becomes more random, this discernible time structure begins to fade, and you end up with a voluminous cloud.

What allows regular matter to collapse into dense structures is that it interacts with itself to shed velocity.
I don’t have many beliefs in common with the person who said this, but I do believe the following to be true:

“Liberty means prohibiting biometric data bases or any other type of human designation. There is no difference in principle between sophisticated biological marking and tattooing an ID number; both turn our identities into the property of a third party. In both, we lose our freedom. Simply put: We have one God above us, and we should not be enslaved to another person or mechanism.”
I have to wonder what the legalities would be here of having a handyman come and remove the front door lock after being locked out at night or the like.
Well if you're sitting on a pile of startup exit cash and can hire a Boies-tier attorney, go ahead and write that Tetris clone. You'll get your day in court to test those theories of yours, soon enough, and you can appeal it all the way to the Supremes if you wish.

As things stand, though, the law of the land as established in federal courts says those elements are copyrightable, and under copyright. So it doesn't matter a fig what you or I think of the judge's ruling -- the law is clear.
The trolley problem is not relevant to driving autonomous or not.
You can get the equivalent of evaporative cooling in an unstable multi body system. You occasionally kick out an object which takes more energy away than the average body that remains.

The formation of a dark matter galaxy in such a fashion is plausible, but would take a long time.

On the tangentially related topic of dark matter + black holes, here's a YouTube video I found interesting on topic. It poses the question "do black holes contain dark matter?"

https://youtu.be/9Qis5VDOd18

The TL;DR is that dark matter can fall into black holes, but black holes don't hoover up nearly as much dark matter as regular matter.
Finland is also a small, essentially monoculture country. What works there might be impractical or impossible elsewhere.
Curious what your threat model is.
It's mixed. The issue really is in that the testers aren't 'darker' people, though it's not really their fault either.

In color film photography they chose the CYM spectral sensitivities to best represent US white women in heavy make-up under stage lights. It was the 1920/30s afterall. The spectral sensitivities haven't changed much since then as a result (an example of the Lock-In effect in full swing). CCD and CMOS camera dopants are chosen to represent the spectral sensitivities that are similar to film, though physics does come charging in on those.

To be honest, yes, it's hard to photograph darker skinned people without sufficient full-spectrum light. Darker skin absorbs more radiation at the solar-peak frequency (~550nm, the light green of most plants), as the melanin is evolved to do. That said, if your film/sensor can see far outside of the solar peak, then you'll pick up darker skinned people better. Old-timey tin-type photographs could see well into the UV (notice how there never are any clouds in pictures taken way back when) and darker skinned people showed up just fine in those old photographs as a result.

Fun-Fact: the front facing camera on most mobile-phones does not have and IR filter on it, specifically to help with these issues of darker skin. Next time you are near a handle-less toilet with an IR sensor, you can use the front facing camera to see the little IR LEDs beeping to see if you are there. You can also use the front-facing camera to see security lights and what not, typically those are IR ones too.

UV light could also be used, but it is more damaging over time, and thus lower frequency IR light is preferred.

No one expects a person who’s not engaged in driving a car to keep the same level of alertness at all times as if they were driving a car.
If this is NY, and the buildings are rent-stabilized, he could already be losing money on some apartments by charging below market if the mandated maximum rent increases did not keep up with the rents increases elsewhere in the city.

So to answer your question - maybe? But most likely not. And it's not necessarily evil.

I think you just explained to me why I've found robots/machines to be dangerous when they are operating. And that's because they don't have any caution. They will accelerate swiftly, operate at high speeds, and all that. They do it all well, until something goes wrong. Suddenly, having no caution becomes a huge liability.

Right, my point was that they're doing more than just reducing the nm.
"It would take more development time, so we didn't do it" is not a sufficient excuse for discriminating against one racial group.
I wouldn’t have a problem with unauthorized family members staying in an apartment. At least they are known by the tenants.

I would have a problem with unknown, unvetted, random AirBnb users coming in an out where the host doesn’t really know anything about the person and won’t be there.
Very curious about this.
They're looking at geographically limited area, so there's no reason to expect a balanced gender ratio because men and women can move in or out at different rates. I'm guessing that previously a lot of single men moved there for economic opportunity but now both single men and single women are moving there for economic opportunity.

Hair and skin tone is not used in recognition. The points to build the model are taken from eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth. So as long as you don't have hair covering your eyes it won't affect anything.

Also, face recognition technologies are better than described in the comments; you can take a photo of a random person from the street and successfully find their social network account with publicly available sites. Compared to this, recognising just several hundred faces looks like an easy task.
SGX always involved trusting Intel. It was Intel basically telling a third party "yup, this machine is running the binary code you expect it to be running". Which is exactly why it's nefarious, of course - a third-party has no business forcing me to run their proprietary binaries on my own machine in order to access their service. If they want that kind of trust, they're still free to establish that by sending me a physical dedicated-use device that can authenticate itself to whatever service they care about.
I was annoyed how they made Gimli into a comic relief character, myself.
If you’re subletting the apartment under the table, it is a lot easier to kick them out if they don’t pay the rent. It’s not like they can go to court for an unlawful eviction. Even in my relatively landlord friendly state, it can take two or three months to get rid of a tenant.

Its been considered ML ever since experts started writing books about ML (and before that, "pattern recognition"). Most introductory ML books cover it in some detail.
Adversarial attacks. Extrapolating from incomplete data. Consistent performance in any/most lightning conditions: night, dusk, low hanging sun over an icy road. Fog. Any combination of the above.

Humans while not perfect are capable if making split-second decisions on incomplete data under a surprising range if conditions based on the fact that our brains are an unmatched pattern-matching beast feeding off of our experience.

It should be the other way around, work should be done during school hours where the teachers just help the students and learning should be done partially at home from youtube courses and partially in class. There is no advantage to teaching in school when there are so much better teachers and courses on the internet when you can rewind if you don't understand something and control the pace.
We don't work at home as adults, why should we work at home as children?
