Almost any google search you do or any siri question you ask takes advantage of the NLP research that has been produced in academia over the last decades.

Theoretical research of these subjects it's not like an open-source project used in industry: "who's using this tool to do x, y and z?". The output of NLP research is the combination of thousands of various papers that, all combined, makes something like a siri search possible.

You know how that story ends right?
What crimes did he commit? Honest question. I heard that someone accused him of being a rapist but then dropped the charges so I guess it was false. What else is there?
That was a great video, never grasped why interstellar and such showed black holes with the rings on top and bottom.

If you really are offering conditions (at least one of: salary, vacations, interesting work subject) well above market and still are having problems attracting people, then it might be a visibility problem. In such case, hiring a bunch of spammers (aka recruiters) might sadly be your best option.
Jumping bail is a crime in itself. Your situation is simply an oxymoron
You'd think that after the stupid Russian collusion story was dismantled by the recent Mueller report, people would be a little more careful with such paranoid allegations, but here we go...
Why is that a bad thing? One of the main drivers of people getting into STEM is and has always been popular science - taking a complicated subject like this project, or gravitational waves, or the LHC etc, and describing it in a language that everyone can understand. And if you can understand it, there's a higher chance it interests you, which will lead to digging some more, etc etc etc.

I'm firmly against his potential extradition to any other country, but let's be honest -- he's not exactly in trouble with British authorities due to his "political opinions", is he?
Nowhere in the title or body of the article does it suggest it won't be possible. In fact it's simply saying it's harder than many people thought.
I found the Swedish rape case fishy. Are there any facts (going both ways) to speak of at all?
You would say that's the same thing? Seeing as Elon Musk initiated all the things himself (and raised/provided the money)? I don't think he is getting credit for constructing rockets, for example, but for making the project happen.

There was, however, an extra article about his rocket engineer on HN. Mabye that is more like it.
The offense he is being charged with is absconding on the bail.

The maximum punishment for that is complicated, but as far I can see it is either max 3 months or it can be sent to the Crown Court where it is max 2 years.

Do you guys remember when the airplane of president Morales, was forced down in Vienna when he was on a flight home? Breaking diplomatic immunity, hospitality etc.

Just because CIA believed Assange was in that flight, that Morales would help him escape.

China and US agree to mutual monitoring and enforcement of trade pledges
Exactly and the simple reason why, which keeps these basic economics of bribery working so robustly, is the asymmetric measures of value/cost inherent to the two sides of the equation. A government or facebook employee or whomever who has access to some lever worth a great deal will sell access to it for these fairly small sums exactly because the much greater value isn't actually a cost to them. They're leveraging their access to someone elses resources for personal acquisition of a much smaller but to them worthwhile gain. You'd never convince a billionaire to sell you access to something of theirs worth billions by paying them only millions, but, like you said, you can easily convince a senator to give you access to billions in government resources (tax money) for a few million to their personal campaign.
I'm first in line to agree with you, I think cars in cities are awful because of these two problems, and honestly I support all sensible efforts to reduce the number of (current generation) cars on city streets.

I'm also a daily user of public transport in a major world city, however, and whilst buses and trains work they also have the fundamental problems highlighted above that are in my view insurmountable, and which (self driving) cars solve. So I'm in a dilemma over whether I think they'd be an improvement, but I ultimately believe they would be.

But yes, absolutely pollution and space saving would have to be addressed. I'm optimistic they could be:

Pollution: hopefully solvable with electric. Yes, of course, there are efficiency gains that trains/buses would perhaps always have (having to move many small things rather than one big thing carrying the same number of people) but I can see electric reducing the absolute level of pollution from cars to a point where it basically doesn't matter. Maybe overly optimistic, but I hope that'll happen.

Space: Driverless cars, particularly electric driverless cars, can be much smaller and can drive much closer together. Different cities have different challenges, but I don't see why we couldn't get to a situation where roads might effectively have capacity for 2x vehicles across and 2-3x vehicles along if the vehicles can be coordinated to drive closer together and are physically smaller (remember that on-demand unlocks certain design constraints - you don't have to provision for peak - if the average number of passengers is 1.5, then most cars on the road could be ultra small 2 seaters). Again lots of conjecture and optimism here, and I am probably assuming that 'manual' cars would eventually disappear or be banned at least from cities too, but nonetheless I think there is hope here.
As soon as he drops the promised Russia documents, I'm sure!
It says it applies to the generic repatriation of refugees, not the specific repatriation of a political asylum seeker like Assange. There's also no evidence that Assange faces political persecution in the UK. His stated concern is about extradition to the USA, in which case he should apply for political asylum in the UK.
Indeed, one of the most poisonous things going on in Hollywood/TV right now is writers and actors getting told they didn't get the job because "diversity is hot right now" or some similar rubbish. It reinforces the idea that "the best" people should get the job (not the best people for the job) whilst simultaneously implying that "diverse" people are not "the best".

This leads to people getting rejected thinking it's part of some culture war, when the truth is that most people get rejected, some of those people would have been brilliant in the role they got rejected for and it's exactly the same brutal industry that it was in the 1980s.
I am absolutely sure companies & large organisations are far more likely to pay AND are willing to pay larger amounts, since there are actual cost-savings when you're able to replace a human with an AI driver

They may have assurances from the US that they won't extradite for all we know.

Or that US prosecutors won't seek an extended jail term or death penalty. Not that those were likely on the table anyway.
Did the people who stood bail for him get their money back when he went awol?
Yeah, absolutely nothing to do with a corrupted politician and US pressure. It's just finally safe for him to face his rape charges. /s
I'm simply so disappointed about 90% of the comments in this thread. I really thought you people had some f. values.
He skipped bail. That is a crime. He literally locked himself up for 7 years for something that in the UK would never have been as severe as 7 years of imprisonment.
They weren't fully dropped. The investigation will continue if he enters Sweden before August 2020 when the statute of limitations expires for the last remaining allegation (minor rape).
the word lapdog or poodle comes to mind.
Free press does not mean it's free from any agenda. Rather, it means that anyone with an agenda has the freedom to express their point of view.

The main idea that the only agenda accepted publicly are not those presented by the government, hence making the intellectual atmosphere a bit more robust and less sterile.

The point why "western press is better than russias" is not about truth but rather inviting an atmosphere where many voices can be heard.
You mean the electric car?

Because a lot of companies make electric cars. In China, for example, there are a couple hundred electric car companies.

The Chinese will buy electric cars by the tens of millions and everything will change. It doesn’t matter if Tesla is still expensive.
Curious have you ever been on one? Not sure how fast or slow they are for cargo but I have taken a train from Orlando to Hollywood (near the Miami area) approx a 3 hour drive by car. On a good day its a 6 hour train ride, I think I have been on there for 10 hours before. Some people for waaay longer from further up north.

I rather be on the road but a train was cheaper than spending money on tolls plus gas. Saving money then was a necessity for me.
Neither the UK nor Sweden is legally able to extradite to countries where there is a risk of the death penalty being applied.
Almost, but on a road and not on a rail. Also a little bit like cars, but these ones drive themselves. A bit like a tram, but with the ability to move freely and not be guided by a rail. Not at all like a bar of soap. Somewhat like a bicycle, but bigger and enclosed.
Fleeing the arrest for fake rape-allegations staged by the CIA.

I can’t see why anyone would do that if they valued their own personal security. /s
Overestimated? How come anybody that has any history with computers knows how difficult it is going to be but such a vast amount of people, including people with money are so bullish about them.

After doing some projects in kuala lumpour and singapore I knew that self driving cars were going to be incredibly difficult. one minute, driving along with no problems, next minute a huge amount of rain got dumped out of the sky, next minute the rain had stopped but some roads were impassable, some merely flooded but still open, others were undrivable on the sides but ok if you drove down the center.

How do you code for that?
Skipping bail; failing to surrender to the court after he was previously released on bail. The sexual assault case against him in Sweden has since been dropped, but the warrant for skipping bail is still active.
Self-driving cars are the future of frequent, reliable and safe public transport.

Why own a car when you can have a self-driving car pick you up from anywhere, bring you anywhere, and drive away to the next customer when it's done.

Sure some people would still want to own a car, or drive one themselves, but eventually I can imagine self-driving shared cars will become cheaper and are still a reliable way of transportation. For many people, owning a car will no longer be desirable since shared self-driving cars suit their needs.

From all accounts it's to do with Assange's behaviour.

Apparently (according to other comment), all for the crime of jumping bail, with a maximum sentence of 2 years.
> Germans in particular are acutely aware of the disastrous consequences of allowing incitement to go unchallenged

Evidently not, as that would probably mean we would not be on the road to make at least some mistakes again.

We also had hate speech laws in the 19th century...

But the real curious argument is that the state was lacking oversight and control over public content. It almost makes you angry thinking about it.

Germany had a laisser-faire approach to recent content control. That worked brilliantly. That changed and suddenly we have some really angry people wanting to change some things.

Additionally, the far right people want content control as much as everyone. I don't want to see a smug smile while they implement hate-speech laws like in Austria.

Using the german experience to justify content control is infantile.
At this point, his "crime" is simply evading arrest. It will be interesting to see what they charge him with to justify a seven year siege.

If he’s likely to face the death penalty, then he has an excellent legal defence against extradition.

If he’d left earlier, he’d have had a chance to appeal to the ECJ too. Ooops
To me it seems pretty obvious to use the teamlead of the team actually producing the image.

Very few people are excited about "5TB of data of a black hole gathered".

> How do you know that? The "might" means nothing here.

It doesnt mean _nothing_. It means she did a good job, or at least good enough, for her team to actually produce the image.

How I know that some other team leader might have botched it? I would have.
I would investigate into her black hole
Please don't attempt to devalue the work that Dr. Bouman had done by implying that it is not science.
>The "moral" course of events would be for him to receive a fair trial in the UK or Sweden concerning the rape and possibly the contempt of court charges.

Charges (which were ridiculous to begin with) were dropped.

>The "immoral" course of evens would be if he was extradited to the US or some other country, receive an unfair trial, or having to defend against other charges.

That's horrible, but what I expect. Extradition to a country that has the death penalty from a country that doesn't shouldn't be a thing.
There isn’t really such thing as international law. Only treaties between states that are sovereign, and as such can tear them up if they do not wish to abide to them anymore.
The UK does not permit extradition where there is a risk of the death penalty being applied. It would require an assurance against the death penalty as a condition of extradition.
Are you suggesting the term 'conspiracy theorist' is somehow a new thing tied to the emergence of 'fake news'?
The accuser has ties to the CIA. You don’t need to know more than that.

It was all really badly staged.

Hey there, thanks for the feedback.

Okay, I'll look into the contrast issue.

In regards to the last question, it means are people acquiring companies similar or the same as your idea.

Hope this helps.
He was wanted by British police for jumping bail, why wouldn't they arrest him?
Merely scaling up a GAN and optimizing it's network structure and training procedure allowed GANs to create nearly realistic high resolution faces. If you can generate realistic faces, then you can likely also generate realistic action and thought sequences simply with an even larger model.

An action/thought sequence is just a 4D tensor with some outputs controlling actuators. Thinking is just production of actions while actuator output neurons are inhibited, which can simply be implemented by a product with some sigmoid activated neurons.

Coherent combinations of such sequences can be produced by feeding both the current sensory inputs and the preceding internal state as conditioning vector to both the generator and discriminator.

You simply need to find a way to train the discriminator not only to tell real from fake, but to determine the value of the generator's outputs and make it backpropagate those values in time during training over several generated episodes by TD.

As the GAN is conditioned on its own previous state, it can learn by trial and error how to combine the short action and thought sequences it produces, can thus learn to produce coherent ("real") language and logic.

Based on such intuitions, I'd say it is impossible to tell when AGI will come exactly, but currently technology looks damn promising.
I'm not necessarily scared of SPAs (I actually work with React myself), but I do believe them to be overkill in lots of cases. One nice thing about them is you can enforce a hard boundary between frontend and backend. Although with some discipline you could do the same with a single backend framework.

"Apache pilots watched people run into a building and engaged that building with several AGM-114 Hellfire missiles."

"controversy following the release of 39 minutes of gunsight footage by leaks website WikiLeaks."

"Press reports of the number killed vary from 12[1][2] to "over 18".[3][4] 2 journalists were killed, and 2 children were wounded."

The murderers of those 2 journalists and wounding 2 children are free, they had been laughing while killing them.

Here we see whom the state hunts for "justice", Assange, for letting us know above.
It will be interesting to see if the US tries to extradite him. It's actually not 100% clear that he's broken any US laws in any ways that they aren't also routinely broken by newspapers.

There's a few avenues:
1) Publishing classified information. Easy to show that he did this but a very difficult path to go down when American newspapers do this all the time.

2) Conspiracy to commit espionage. Probably the most likely, this would require showing that he was actively working with someone to extract classified information. Just openly soliciting leaks to an email address wouldn't be enough, he'd really have to be talking to a leaker before/during the extraction of the data. Depending on the nature of his communications with Guccifer (The GRU hackers from 2016) they may be able to make a case on this basis.

3) Al Capone style / collateral attack. The US made it very hard for Wikileaks to operate financially. Maybe he did something that falls under the US' capacious money laundering rules?

Note that this case is fundamentally different from Manning / Snowden / Winner who all had access to classified information legally and misused that access. Due to the first amendment, American espionage laws are quite narrowly written compared to those of many other countries and while it is easy to prosecute people on the "inside" for leaking classified material to the "outside", it is much harder to prosecute someone for what they do with it when it's out.

(Edit: Well that was fast! Interested to see what's in the indictment)
I'm honestly out of the loop. Is there concrete irrefutable evidence Assange helped electing Trump? Seems weird, even more so with them then turning around and pushing for his arrest. And being an annoying guest? Are you talking about the new rules introduced by the embassy only to be looked at later saying "you broke them"?
I don't know if these exams are still in the same format but I've always found them wildly more relevant compared to other exams as they focus on practical knowledge and problem solving skills instead of your skill to remember command line flags or your skills in multiple choice guessing game.

> It will be interesting to see what they charge him with to justify a seven year siege.

I think only Assange and Ecuador really had it in their power to alter the length of the "siege", I don't think the Met Police were going to simply say "whatevs" once he had skipped bail.
> How can industries fight against this human nature?

They don't but in fact, monetize. As you've pointed out this constant need for refresh/dopamine has become second nature for billions. This is a fabulous opportunity for industries to monetize this attention.

I did overstate things, but "total BS" doesn't seem fair either.
Are you referring to Assange's connection with the Snowden leak? Why would they seek the death penalty? Even Snowden wouldn't get the death penalty were he to return and be prosecuted.

Not true at all.
No one except the DoJ and probably white house have seen the Mueller report. They do all they can to prevent people from seeing this supposedly exonerating report.

everything of substance that a US based journalist says is voluntarily in line with the position of the CIA (self censorship). If not they'd have to be living in a country without extradition (e.g. Greenwald).
