I think it's reasonable anywhere to expect an emergency call to result in prejudice, whether that's police being apprehensive with regard to a suspected dangerous person, or firefighters being willing to break into a building they believe someone to be unconscious in. Treating all emergency calls as false until proven otherwise would put lives in danger, be it emergency responders or the public.

The danger that hoaxes inherently present, and that ignoring potential hoaxes also presents, means that hoaxers must be deterred.
of course they're targeting the Boston area; our city is the country's nexus of research and development in a plethora of fields, our culture is welcoming to foreigners at a time when most areas of the US are positively hateful, and we're large enough that expats can find at least a few others from their home country if they so choose. it's the perfect place to learn and network whether you're a spy or a jobseeker.

my main question is what can we realistically do about the problem of chinese spying while preserving the integrity of our institutions here. we have chinese expats sprinkled heavily into all of our research groups, tech groups, you name it -- and it is my assumption that the overwhelming majority of these people are innocent of any crime, so it wouldn't be acceptable to subject them to additional scrutiny. these people are valuable members of our teams and we're lucky to have them in the quantity that we do.

i'm not sure what the right move is here -- it's just my nightmare that the federal government / FBI implements some hamfisted policy that damages Boston's primary economic activities.

I ran my own company for a few years just to make money to stop working so I could contribute to open source. By the time I finally made enough to not have to worry about money anymore, I had spent enough years working with open source to realize that big companies get great benefits (I was in meetings with HP, IBM, and Oracle VPs where open source was being supported to transfer responsibility and costs away from those companies.) At the same time, it is Software Developers and associated staffs which lose income. There is also less profit to invest in high quality documentation, training, support, and research (ever notice how most open source companies didn't actually develop the technology - they are just monetizing it through support or consulting?)

So I had the chance to live my dream - supporting our community through open source - but realized that it was ultimately the wrong dream for our society.

I just had my several year old Samsung 65" UHD TV fail from a bad power supply. I strongly encourage anyone able to use a screwdriver to look at the web before tossing a TV or committing to an expensive repair. My case appears to be typical. A couple dozen screws release the back. There is a power supply board somewhat larger than a piece of notebook paper, and two smaller boards which are the LCD drivers and the god awful 'smart' junk they made me buy to get a display. The power supply board is not made by Samsung, you can get a replacement for about $60US. Swapping it is just 6 screws and two easy release connectors.

I went in planning to replace capacitors, but none of mine had visible signs of damage and my board was showing thermal discoloring around other components, so I went with the new board.

Safety note: Turn the thing off, unplug it, and let it sit for hours before you go in. Probably longer than necessary, but I'm sure you have something else to do. These power supplies make >200V outputs for the LED backlights, on the "cold" side of the board isolated from the mains… so the cold side is packing more voltage than the hot side. Remember this if you are tempted to probe a live board.

> Of course, jails could offer video calling without shutting down in-person visits. But the fact that jails get a share of the proceeds from these services creates a perverse incentive for them to end in-person visits. As long as in-person visits are available, many family members will take the time to drive to prison and see their loved one. But if only video visits are available on site, more family members will opt for the convenience and privacy they get by calling from home.

You're not "opting for convenience and privacy" here; you're making the only choice you have in the face of prisons looking to make a couple of dollars.

Tools, at a high level, do not affect what the end result is. Instead, it affects how end result is achieved.

I would pay someone good money if they could just tell me what "quality food, exercise, and sleep is good for you" meant in excruciating detail. If I knew exactly what I could eat and how I could work out to get the most health benefits it would make such a huge difference. Instead I feel like there are a thousand different opinions out there, all backed by a thousand different (and usually flawed) studies. As someone who loves things that are backed by science, it frustrates me that I can't find the "right" answer (at least for the average person).

And maybe the answer is out there but I just don't know where to look. If so, please advise.

As if US jails weren't already reprehensible and embarrassingly bad enough.

This is not just punishing the inmate, this is punishing their extended family and anyone who cares about them as well.

Some people just don't appear to care about being labeled "morally bankrupt". By the time they're done, police, judges and jails will be superfluous because society will have no values left to protect.

The latter is somewhat tongue-in-cheek of course, but this is definitely narrowing the moral gap between jailers and inmates even further.

Absolutely embarrassing for any modern society.

Single headphone usage is a feature. The AirPods can detect that only one is present in the ear and switch from stereo to mono output. Here are a couple use cases:

* To listen to the environment as well.

* To take phone calls.

* To extend the battery life of continuous listening by listening to one, charging the other, and then switch.
That's kind of how Google works, with multiple index tiers. Look up patents by Anna Paterson to get a few clues, assuming your lawyers won't bark at you.

Still, you can't keep partial results around forever, unless you want to make searches a lot more expensive, having to add a lot of capacity just to deal with the buffer bloat. Each query touches at least a thousand machines. Adding "a few more virtual machines" isn't going to cut it, especially if you have to handle tens of thousands of requests per second.

People stopped trusting photos that challenge preconceived bias then, but they still trust them when they reinforce such biases.

Part 2 re: Tantalum capacitors always being leaded parts isn't accurate, there are lots of SMT tantalum capacitors. Due to it's status as a conflict material, though, and it's unique extra-fiery failure mode when you exceed it's ratings, I tend to stick with other low-ESR chemistries like aluminum polymer electrolytic, ceramic or niobium oxide (much more stable - 95% less likely to catch fire and non-conflict, similar performance).
> perhaps it's time we wrote restrictions into licenses to prevent this tech from being used for such evil purposes.

Such software would no longer be open source (canonically defined by OSI) or free (canonically defined by the FSF), and it would cause all sorts of problems for developers as it would be incompatible with other licenses such as the GPL. And it would be impossible to somehow enumerate all "evil purposes" in a licenses, and if you theoretically did, virtually everyone else would disagree with at least some part of it.
The link to the measurements from your source:

https://kenrockwell.com/apple/lightning-adapter-audio-qualit...

According to those measurements the adaptor's DAC is fantastic, especially for a $9 part.

And in the spirit of anecdotes, the old iPhone DACs were notoriously hissy and weak, and if you're buying high impedance headphones you have no business plugging that into a phone's headphone jack... spend the $20-50 on an amp/DAC and call it a day. Just a bigger dongle.

I think it would be fair to say that the entire purpose here is to determine exactly what it is we would need to understand and do to create an effective simulation. Hard to simulate when you're not sure what the relevant parameters are in the first place. (I say "hard" and not "impossible", because simulations can be a relevant part of working out what those parameters are, but speaking generally, that's something that you can do when you're already 90% of the way there, and it doesn't sound like we necessarily are.)
Well, yes, everything we're saying is subjective.

I never said it wasn't accessible. I just said teenagers who don't have the time for "old stuff" because of "evolving memes and conversations" are missing out on this, and that not caring about the past or the future is typical teenage thinking.

OP here. Thanks for reading. Good comments.

As far as winning out vs competitors, efficiency can be key. There is no question there.

One of the things about frontier tech (autonomous, AR, sensor networks, ML) is that many people are funded and do it too early. So they need to somehow last.

Most startups spend the money within two years or less. It’s programmed into the psychy. A Sequoia would never admit this but they want you to spend your money fast and move on to the next thing if you aren’t growing fast enough. Buying one more year can be crucial.
>I have seen an (anecdotal) large amount of capacitors failing in consumer televisions. I recently replaced one in a friend's TV. These capacitors are supposed to have rated lifetimes of roughly the lifetime of the TV, so why are they failing in normal use?

The point IMHO revolves around "What is the expected lifetime of a TV (nowadays)?"

More anecdata, I own a "large" 32" Sony Trinitron that is incredibly heavy and that works just fine (touch wood) since 2002 or so.

I also had a smaller Mivar that lasted more than 30 years (if I recall correctly 32 years 1984-2016).

More recently (like 2013 or 2014) I procured for a friend's project a number (20) of (admittedly el-cheapo) Hi-Sense 32" LCD's, 3 or 4 failed in about 25 months (or one month beyond the 24 months covered by warranty) and 2 failed within warranty period (but the importer/assistance center closed before that anyway), of these most were capacitors related issues (one was simply a cold solder joint).
But - besides the repaired ones - the remaining 13 or 14 still work just fine.
There is a good book about this that discusses the problem you just mentioned [1]. Not only do we need to find a way to replace oil as energy source we also need to find a way to replace it in all the other consumables. Or at least find viable substitutes.

>It's exceptionally unlikely that a small subgroup of men who already refuse to adapt is large enough and motivated enough to hold the rest of society at gunpoint.

Isn't it the point that it's something like 80% of men that are becoming disenfranchised? That hardly seems like a small subgroup to me.
>True, but this isn't the problem we have yet. So start getting more interesting/funny/hot pictures. Once they all become mundane, people will start to look for other things (maybe even normcore pictures)

Sure, it's relatively easy to be in the top 80% of men. But the point, which I don't think I made clear enough, is that there's always going to be a bottom 20%. Evening out everyone in one area just means that some other area is going to be the differentiating factor. More realistically, if the 20% improve their game in one area the 80% are just going to one up them.

>I agree on this, and it sucks. Low self-esteem does a lot of harm, and yet is so easy to fix because "fake it till you make it" literally solves the problem.

IMHO the people that say fake it till you make it are the ones that have above average inherent natural ability regardless of what skill "it" refers to. Someone lacking in confidence and small talk type skills isn't likely to naturally get better. Like any skill, the best way to improve is directed practice and repetition.

On the cost side, it’s difficult for me to understand how most startups can pay SV rates for talent and be considered efficient. The problem space usually is just not difficult from a technical aspect, you don’t need top talent. Maybe unpopular here due to the bias of SV talent in HN but from a capital efficiency standpoint startups need to be designed in SV/US and developed elsewhere.
As a counterpoint I would point out the number of tech-savvy early adopters who are still complaining about the missing headphone jack. Something that I don't recall happening when Apple came out with the iMac or the MacBook air.
Terms are ultimately defined by users of them, not some official or scientific body, for good or bad. I recommend people stop complaining about usage of the term.

If somebody comes up with a clear distinction between "strong" AI and "weak" AI, then we can complain about "correct" usage with some wind at our back. Until then, the vocabulary issue is not worth focusing on.

I suspect AI progress will be incremental such that there will be no definite distinction, only shades of whatever traits we use to define it. It will be more like a child slowly growing up rather than C3PO just walking out the lab door one of these days.

The current crop of well-known AI uses mostly statistical pattern matching, and thus lacks "common sense" as we typically think of it. But eventually the pattern matching will be integrated into things like the CYC database of common-sense facts and start to show more common sense. However, it will probably make silly mistakes for a good while.
I believe the guy who made jslint added a clause to all his MIT licensed software just like that. Lots of people complained and Google ended up building their own implementation of whatever bit they liked and wanted to include in their own software to bypass the licensing issues.

See, this is the lame kind of pat answer that makes others have to point out that you are being idealistic.
The short answer is that the UK government from 1979 to 1997 was pretty hostile towards the entire idea, with the exception of a few specific pet projects like the BBC micro, and subsequent governments were lukewarm.

Some the projects were brilliant engineering but commercially never stood a chance like Concorde; other projects like the amalgamation of struggling private car companies as a part-nationalised state one were renowned for the sort of mediocrity and mismanagement that made privatisation and abandonment of industrial subsidies politically fashionable, even independently from those approaches helping pay for tax cuts.

The BBC Micro is arguably an outstandingly successful pivot instead. Promoting computer lessons at schools might have been a huge success in encouraging more parents to buy PCs, but parents bought commodity hardware running Windows/DOS, and after that it became natural for schools to shift towards purchasing the same thing with connectivity to the newfangled world wide web rather than Acorn's specialised systems providing educational wordprocessors with speech synthesis that ran on a floppy disk. Even without that trend, specialised hardware/software products specific for the UK educational market was never an ideal niche to be in anyway, whereas licensing ARM chips turned out to be a very lucrative and long term business for one of Acorn's subsidiaries instead.
Also remember, thermal heat would be present and difficult to isolate from hidden cameras located in seemingly harmless electronics.
