"Siri, the first virtual personal assistant, arose from decades of SRI research in artificial intelligence (AI). The technology was developed through the SRI-led Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes (CALO) project within DARPA's Personalized Assistant that Learns (PAL) program, the largest-known AI project in U.S. History, and joint work with EPFL, the Swiss institute of technology.

SRI spun off Siri, Inc. in 2007 to bring the technology to consumers, raising $24 million in two rounds of financing.

In April 2010, Apple acquired Siri, and in October 2011, Siri was unveiled as an integrated feature of the Apple iPhone 4S."

I'm not verifying that - I just found it via google search "sri Siri"

I like the link to Logan's Run :-), it could be also true.
Not sure if it's because I run the beta version but I have the search feature in individual conversations and use it often. There is a desktop app and I agree it's not the best. The desktop app is the only place I've had the retrieving messages issue. So really the only gripe I see you having is no decent non-phone client. For me that's not a show stopper at this point in exchange for a secure, easy to use application.
Except one party doesn't realize it is a race.
Nice! Sysgears has some seriously cool projects
Here at the University of Queensland formal methods are in optional classes for computing degrees. I'm in the last six months of a part-time postgrad coursework degree, during which I did both a formal specification and a concurrency validation course. For my thesis I did a formal model using a proof assistant to describe event sourcing.

Neither formal methods class was particularly full, but neither was OS architecture, advanced algorithms, compiler design... machine learning and AI were both packed to the rafters though.

Kids entering university are picking based on current trends, and formal methods are not trending.

(Proof assistants are fun, though.)
The Boeing stuff just happened. It started to be big news just over a month ago. The VW stuff happened 4 years ago and the legal stuff is still unfolding. The comparison is ridiculous, and calling it hilarious is tone deaf.

This is yet another use-after-free in C++ code. It's modern C++ code written by excellent programmers following state-of-the-art security practices. Smart pointers, lambdas, you name it: it's all there. Yet a critical memory safety vulnerability still slipped through the cracks.
No thanks. If we have any redwood left to be used for building, I'd rather have them go to the better attended local cathedrals, than a cathedral that is really no longer used.
Basing Laws on Nothing Is Easier Than Using Evidence
Author of the paper here. I justified our use of the word "frontrunning" on a Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/phildaian/status/1116698738343460864

There are a few different points here. Firstly, there are plenty of unambiguous definitions of frontrunning that are accepted by the scientific community that this blatantly does fall under; see the Clark SoK we cite in our paper for this in the blockchain space, or the definition Wikipedia uses, which was from an economics article by Khan & Lu (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1140694): "trading by some parties in advance of large trades by other parties, in anticipation of profiting from the price movement that follows the large trade."

The second point here is even if you want to restrict the definition to require privileged information, privilege in p2p networks is not binary: there are some nodes that are better peered on the topology, have better mining equipment, etc. who can use these privileges to extract market rent, harming the security of a blockchain.

This is a complex and dense paper that took 8 people 18 months to produce, and I recommend you read it with an open mind, rather than having a gut reaction to whether we use your preferred definition of "frontrunning". I also recommend reading the primary source material directly, or at least my summary on Twitter - https://twitter.com/phildaian/status/1116155236433956865

Happy to answer any questions!

Note that the horse a buggy was wildly popular before the car came along, so as this follows Tesla would be find starting a horse and buggy company. I'm a bit exaggerated in my sarcasm here to really illustrate how arrogant it is to assume that features you don't value are 'cosmetic blemishes' when they really do fundamentally hinder the adoption of the product. While you may value security as a priority that overcomes all others, but most by network effect influence, do not. And if you really care about security, it follows that the 'cosmetics' matter as well.
I recommend cursive italic, a form of writing that is beautiful and fast to write, but much easier to learn than looped cursive, since it reuses the printed letter forms and avoids complicated joins.

As a bonus, your handwriting resembles Shakespeare's.
They already tried that. It was a horrible experience with Windows CE. The .Net Compact Framework was a subset of the .Net Framework. You could run a .Net compact targeted app on the desktop. I wrote Windows Mobile apps back in the day. You could also write C++/MFC apps that targeted both. They weren’t great apps.

But today MS has Xamarin that is a good enough cross platform framework for enterprise style apps.
Under those principles, the entire computing industry would never have been created.

If you can't create your own hardware, and then sell your own software to run on that hardware, then you're doomed.
Actually they breathe compressed air (not specifically higher in oxygen content than uncompressed air) so that would be an option. I'm not sure why I was thinking that this would not be viable.

However, as CO2 sinks within normal atmosphere compared with smoke which typically rises, as the dry ice sublimates it becomes much more of a hazard for the area surrounding the fire.

For an extreme example of exposure to CO2, see the Lake Nyos disaster [1] that killed people & animals in an area 16 miles around the lake.

It isn't just getting out of the way. HFTs see the big order and realize it is too big for one exchange, so they buy from the other exchanges before the rest of the order gets there.
I have found Visual Studio Code to be more lightweight than Atom, resource-wise. Unless you are talking about lightweight in the sense of features?
I don’t see why there’s anything inherently better with having this happen at the local level vs the state level. If a majority of Californian voters have elected state legislators who will vote for these policies at the state level, that’s just as valid, and still a completely democratic, path towards change as having it happen city by city.
A lot of "conspiracy theorists" were proved right by the Snowden discoveries. Not all of them are lunatics, some extrapolate facts and expect something most people would not. One is not either sane or conspiracy minded, there are a lot of people that would be helped with facts.
Absolutely everything you say could be true, and that still wouldn't make it serfdom, nor even close.
One of the things I have is the Kaoss Pad 2 Mini which is essentially an effects pedal for the KO2S.
The Reims Cathedral was reopened in 1938 (about 20 years after the start of the restoration).

But in this kind of restoration, the devil is in the details, repairing the structure and rebuilding the roof and the spire will probably take around 8 to 10 years, if the vault is not in too bad of a shape, more otherwise. But repairing the the sculptures and decoration, with all their minutes details will take generations.

For these, what was not destroyed by the fire is probably heavily damaged by the tons of waters poured to save the edifice.
Yeah, I've seen at least two draft lines running. But at best that's going to be 3-4k GPM. Enough for a couple of those big water streams. You'd need >10x that to fight a fire like this head on (which they clearly didn't have, since they immediately went to salvage and exposure protection measures)
> Hasn't there been a huge push since the 90s to make accessing SNAP and other "welfare" services harder to access

There has been a huge push of a narrative to that effect. Actual USDA enrollment rate data doesn't reflect much success in these supposed policies however; current enrollment (over 40 million) is far above any point in the 90s (less than 30 million.)
YouTube breaking news fact-checking suggests Notre Dame fire link to 9/11
The best thing about this scandal is that (at least for now) all new VW cars have 6 years of warranty/72k miles. Such a great deal, couldn't say no to that.
I didn’t see anything about this in the article, so I ask here in the hopes that someone more knowledgeable can comment: how are they controlling for selection bias? Is there any way to select into or out of this school, or is it purely the standard districting system? Even if it’s the latter in many other places it’s still possible to move into the area. Do we know to what extent that has been happening?

Edit: Oops, I was tricked by an advert. The article continued to say that the students were admitted by lottery. The only question I’m immediately left with then is whether they had to enter the lottery, or whether it was automatic? And was their admission contingent on their parents’ willingness to participate in these extra classes?

What if you left your phone at home and it's not connected to the Internet?.

I usually leave my phone at random places in my house and have to find it and 'wake it up' so that it connects to the wifi and I can use Whatsapp web.
The ebpf train is really starting to eat Linux from the inside out, and the use cases appear limitless at the point. Only question now is where will ebpf end.

Thanks for the link! That definitely illuminates some of the complexity involved
In 1978, I wrote a SNOBOL program for my MSc thesis. (SNOBOL is a dynamic, garbage-collected, string-oriented language, with bizarre syntax and control structures.) It needed a lot of memory (for the time). I managed to get an account on my school's IBM mainframe with a high enough balance to run this program a few times. But only if I did my run at 3AM. I forget if the total memory of the computer was 4MB, or that was the amount I was permitted to use, but yeah, 4MB.
From the article:

"I Promise students were among those identified by the district as performing in the 10th to 25th percentile on their second-grade assessments. They were then admitted through a lottery."
Fantastic and fantastical yet so so so bleak. I find the bleakness beautiful in a weird way, but I think it's a film that presupposes a certain mental fortitude.
The IDFA should be turned off by default, not just reset every month.

But I do tend to trust Apple more than Google on privacy since Apple's business model isn't based on tracking you.

On the other hand, it seems to be impossible to prevent the Apple watch from connecting to any Wi-Fi network you've ever connected to on the iPhone whenever it can. ;-(
Good, his ball team isn't. ;-)
Thank you for refusing to actually consider an opinion that is unpopular. I mean if popularity is the basis by which good decisions are made, then all I need is proper control of the media and then to make my opponents seem totally stupid.

Now I'm worried that I haven't seen the right version. Is there a breakdown of the different versions floating around somewhere?
Keybase is certainly interesting. Is it possible to link up to your stackoverflow identity yet?

How are people using Keybase right now? I added several of my accounts but I'm especially interested in the GPG encryption/signing.
Indeed. I missed "hanrd" on my first read through, but "Vaires" and the stray "?" jumped out at me. The original slide is much more readable, and "Flight condition is significantly outside of test database" stands out as almost the conclusion rather than being buried in noise. Talk about a strawman. (Still a bad slide, though.)
Same. I worked them as 3-3-4-4 (3 on, 3 off, 4 on, 4 off) and even still, it was taxing. You get extra-long weekends all the time, which are basically mandatory, because you spend that entire first day recovering from the previous 12-hour shifts.

Though it also switched between days and nights, so you'd end up spending your last day adjusting yourself to the upcoming "time switch", which further worsened it. The company had all kinds of research indicating that it was great for morale and productivity and such, and they had a strong union that didn't seem to hate it, but I always had a hard time adapting.

I can't imagine doing it for 6 days straight.
I doubt there was ever much debate that parents are the single most important factor for children.

It’s just that, from a policy perspective, it is extremely hard to actually have any impact on that behavior. It’s basically social work, a concept for which there is essentially no money at scale in the US.

Singapore jailed someone for a Facebook post criticizing the amount of money the government spent on the special olympics.
It's not a "preferred definition." Your definition of frontrunning is simply incorrect.

FWIIW Michael Lewis is considered to be a serial fabulist by most people on Wall Street; his "flash boys" was a particularly egregious example of this, being a marketing effort for IEX, which was funded by friends of Michael Lewis.
Having the 'owner' of the e-mail address have the only access is a better extreme than having everyone have access, but I don't think that's feasible. People within Microsoft will always have the ability to access e-mail accounts, the question is if they are the right people and how big that group of people should ever be.

If you are talking about secure e-mail cryptography philosophy along the lines of PGP, ProtonMail, et cetera, sure you can achieve that through those means. Otherwise it's a pipe dream with a product like Outlook that's built for businesses and having AD style control.

Yeah but they are doing it on microsoft products related to the web like azure, sql server, etc. microsoft is making money without users ever knowing they are touching microsoft products.
There's two possible interpretations here. The implication of "shadows travel faster than light" is that information about the lack of light is faster. This interpretation is false. In your thought experiment, the information of the lasers moving still only travels at speed of light, even if the actual movement took only a fraction of that time. So the "shadow" on Earth reacts at the speed of light to changes in the source.

However, if the idea is that a laser that is continuously lit can "sweep" a path, such that the laser dot appears to move faster than light could travel that same path... Then of course that's trivially true. The light is traveling the radius of the arc, not the length.
I guess if they insist in staying in this area, they need to start building tiny homes neighbourhoods...
The Confirmation Bias: Why People See What They Want to See
There's an interesting attitude towards the word "nationalism" in US. As you say, it's probably one of the most enthusiastically civic nationalist nation in the world - indeed, to the point where American sociologists have described it as a "civic religion" at times. But the word "nationalism" itself is almost exclusively interpreted as "ethnic nationalism", and has an unambiguously negative vibe. So people who practice civic nationalism describe themselves as "patriots" instead.
> 1. "Just following orders" isn't now and has never been a valid excuse

That's not true. Just look at Lt. William Calley.
I believe the logical reasoning to be: Powerpoint presentations facilitate filling in the blanks without prompting careful weight and consideration. As a tool it is more likely to influence poor thought and communications structure and muddle high level intake and review of data.

A more correct communications format might be the traditional longer-form report. A main document frames facts, possibly with graphs and other features used to reach the conclusions and explain why different points are salient. An executive summary preface presents the conclusions of skilled individuals and their core reasoning, which lets non-experts reference the larger report for a better understanding and/or ask questions if they are still unclear.
I didn't intend to put down your suggestion, like I said, online banks are great, but there isn't a capitol one, ally, or discover bank in my state. So for people who use cash, a credit union is an excellent choice.
There is selection bias for sure; except it works in the opposite way regarding successful outcomes. IPS takes low-performing individuals and puts them in a lottery system.

This differs from a charter school or other alternative schools that skirt responsibility of special needs kids... but it should bear mention that IPS is not without controversy. The lottery system causes a lot of strife in eligible-but-unpicked individuals and also costs the taxpayers a substantial sum; LeBron does not cover 100% of the costs, or even a majority of them.

Just to be clear, you are free to download your own streaming service's music. You just cannot download iTunes music–you must stream it. So this only applies if you're making an app to play music from iTunes.
You're ignoring the time period it all took place. Irresponsible drinking probably skyrocketed during the Gilded Age and Great Depression. It should be no surprise that people stopped drinking so much when everything started getting better - which aligned closely with the end of prohibition.
I am not sure if the author and commenters here are specifically condemning Microsoft Powerpoint, or just computerized slide presentations, of which Powerpoint is by far the most common type. Because even if everyone used Apple's "Slides" tool, they could still make a lot of the same mistakes. Even if they drew things out on clear plastic sheets, they could still make the same mistakes.

So is it really Powerpoint specifically? Maybe. I'm open to that possibility. But I'm more sympathetic to the idea that Powerpoint has enabled many more people incapable of creating quality presentations to deliver them anyway.
Predictions are typically made by looking at recent trends and then extrapolating from there. It would take some time, but I could provide you with a bunch of links to reputable news sources on this subject. Instead, to save time, let's go with a one page summary of the new internet censorship that is being proposed (or is already taking place) in some western countries in just the past month:

Notre-Dame will be restored, it's too much of a symbol. However, the money will have to be found somewhere, and there is a good chance that it will mean other restoration projects for "lesser" historical buildings will be delayed (maybe dangerously) and subsidies from the Ministry of Culture for artists and art projects will be reduced.
Is it because they shadowban everything else?

you ignored all my complaints saying you don't experience them. wtf.
Because I wasn't sure which end of the bell curve this was referring to, "10th to 25th percentile" in this article means students significantly below the median, not above it.
You don't even need to compile the code; signing the app binary with your development certificate is enough.
I think the PPT slide is at fault for the fact that the most relevant piece of information (this is 600x bigger than we have tested) got lost. The decision, and even the way in which the meeting to make the decision was held, is not on PPT. But, it was the one and only purpose of a PPT slide to communicate information in a way that makes it easier to understand, otherwise we would just use plain txt files.

A plain txt file here, would have been better.
If everything links to everything, that's an n^2 problem (and hard to coordinate actors to do). If everything just links to one service, that's n or 2n at most.

Charter schools use the lottery method, at least the one my two sons are on (success academy) its a great school with great success but a lot of it is obviously engaged parents (such as even entering the lottery)
That's always been the case, right? Freedom of speech, EXCEPT when it directly negatively affects the person due to reputation or fear.

Freedom to protest, as long as it isn't interfering with certain government functions and you aren't messing with the police.

I think as a society, it's our job to figure out the best balance of freedom and security. People are all up and down the spectrum, so you'll never make everyone happy anyway.

I devote a lot of my time thinking about how to improve education. I love so much of what this school is doing, much of it being things I hadn't considered, since my education had far far different problems than these kids have.

Out of everything in the article, what impressed me the most was the roleplaying with the intervention counselor. What an incredible way to help kids learn how to behave and assimilate into society. I think that role playing everyday situations should be a part of every students education.
