This is too strong of a generalization. There are several people from the woman's suffrage movement, the 1960s civil rights movement, and countless others that both had radical (for the time) internally consistent ideology and participated in activism.

Yes, there are people in radical groups just to be misfits. Yes, there are people that think and write radical ideas without participating in activism. There are also people that join radical groups because they believe in the ideology, and there are original thinkers in radical groups that participate in the activism side.
what sort of thing are they worried about?
From the article,

> Single-socket nodes will consist of one CPU and four GPUs, connected by AMD’s custom high bandwidth, low latency coherent Infinity fabric.

The article, at least, only describes coherency in the context of single-socket nodes. I suppose it's ambiguous whether Infinity fabric only connects components on the node or connects nodes to each other, but in fact Infinity fabric is the interconnect used with Zen CPUs, so I think it's pretty clear that in this case it only connects and provides memory coherency for 1xCPU and 4xGPUs.

Performant memory coherency across nodes would be quite an achievement, but not one they seem to have achieved. Rather, it seems they've simply revived the PS4 model.
You can of course define it however you want but that doesn't mean your definition is correct or even close to the actual definition.

You see, according to your and Danskin's definition roughly 20% (and it's growing since more political parties are adopting the same politics) of the swedish population are fascist based on last years election where the Sweden Democrats (labeled as racists and fascists in the mainstream media) became the 2nd largest political party.

The problem here is that the left is tilting so far left that even centrists are being labeled as far-right these days.
You are trying so hard to sound reasonable and "both sides" these threads but it is simple to clock you.

Both sides do not have merit. Only one side advocates hate against minorities and white nationalism. Only one side has multiple mass shooters it it's ranks.

One side is a xenophobic reactionary group that contains nazis, and the other is a counter-protest group.

I'd be willing to wager you use plenty of software, codecs, games, and more that would not function nearly half as well without carefully managed memory.
It's only conceptually similar to the "bump allocation in the nursery" part of garbage collection, IMO, as it skips the whole tracing part that makes RC, GC, and even RAII substantially less efficient than stack allocation. When people talk about GC having great performance compared to manual memory management they are very often only considering objects that die before the first major collection.

An IDE would help with this, at least for a strongly typed language ('go to definition'). For something like Perl, good luck!

My other complaint is when the base class is updated independently of the child class. Suddenly your code is breaking because a new field is being set in the original function but not your override. For that reason I tend to inherit to extend only, as much as possible. I prefer to write a wrapper if it's a neater solution.
Aaron Patterson (aka tenderlove), Ruby and Ruby on Rails contributor, has a good post titled "YAGNI methods are killing me" where he points out the problems when inheriting from builtin classes such as String or Hash.

Encrypted SNI seems to be tailor made for this situation. The public portion of the request SNI would just be s3.amazonaws.com but the ESNI extension has the full subdomain name. That (+encrypted dns) solves the privacy issue, while still enabling all the new features and improvements they have planned.
There's a bit more to this. E.g. German manufacturers work with hundreds of suppliers for components that go into cars and share some of those suppliers with other manufacturers. These components often include software. E.g. Bosch produces engine components that comes with all sorts of complicated software. So, a car you buy from e.g. BMW comes with all sorts of software that BMW does not control directly. Updating the in car software means updating dozens of different systems from all sorts of suppliers and quite a big project to coordinate. Also these suppliers consider this software to be their core asset and it might appear in several cars from competing vendors.

In practice updates do not happen unless absolutely unavoidable. Once a car reaches market, the software is basically frozen in time. There may be minor patches when suppliers provide critical updates that require the car to be serviced but that's about the scope of it. And even those may never reach most customers. There's also the issue of certification and safety regulations that makes things more complicated.

Tesla does as much as possible in house. They are emulating Apple by controlling hardware and software and are able to move faster this way than other manufacturers and they can support older models as long as they want.

The podcast episode "post no evil" about Facebooks moderation problems, covers something very similar where during the Mexican border drug wars people were posting images of dead bodies hung from overpassed and shootouts.

Facebook had internal debates over whether this counted as news or breached content guidelines

I recommend the podcast greatly.

But perhaps we need a simpler approach - a funded "journalism" archive where the tech firms can shift the posts to online storage (ie not delete it) but section it off for later analysis.

Seems the only likely compromise.

Very interesting paper. With some surprising insights (need to read it a couple more times for sure).

The conclusion states:

> Overall, attaining models that are robust and interpretable will require explicitly
> encoding human priors into the training process.

I feel that is true, though another part of the solution IMO lies in coming up with classifiers that can do more than output a probability alone. I agree that classifiers being sensitive to well-crafted adversarial attacks is something that can't be avoided (and perhaps even shouldn't be avoided at the train-data level), but the problem lies mainly at the output end. As a user, the model gives no insights towards how "sure" it feels about its prediction or whether the inputs deviate from the train set (especially in the useful non-robust feature set). This is especially a problem given that we stick softmax on almost all neural networks, which has a tendency to over-estimate the probability of the rank 1 prediction which confuses humans. Most adversarial attacks show [car: 99%, ship: 0.01%, ...] for the original image and [ship: 99%, car: 0.01%, ...] for the perturbed image.

Using interpretability and explanatory tools to inspect models is a good start, though I'd like to see more attention being given to:

- Feedback with regards to whether a given instance deviates from the training set, and to which extent

- Bayesian constructs w.r.t. uncertainty being incorporated, instead of only probabilities. Work exists that tries to do this already [1,2] with very nice results, though is not really "mainstream"

The benefit of not using GC is improved understanding of the code and a better architecture. These things will also lead to better performance.

GC was a mistake. The main reason it is still used outside scripting languages is the notion that non-GC languages need to be low level. Which in practice is kind of true just because we haven't had any real competition in that area.
I don't think it should be illegal for online platforms to filter user-generated content on ideological grounds. But it's still a form of censorship and it's something I generally don't favor.

I think the root issue actually is, in itself, the decline of consistent principles. The foundation of liberalism is, in many ways, the agreement to step back from the specific political disagreements of the day and agree on a common set of ground rules. But now politics is turning into a race to the bottom where both sides feel the ends justify the means and if the basic principles are invoked at all, it's because one side in particular is always on the losing side of them.
In the Netherlands the police definitely will not. Vanmoof has their own team to track down bikes and retrieve, but so far this seems more like a marketing stunt than actual service (they have a youtube channel “Van Moof Bike Hunters”).
Being at a private school won’t stop e.g. kids from being expelled for being caught a single time with a small amount of pot, as happened to my cousin and several of his friends. I guess at least they weren’t referred to the police?

Plenty of zero-tolerance bullshit at (extremely ritzy and exclusive... or any other type of) private schools too.

Australia lacks safe harbour laws which the US has had for some time. This has a chilling effect on certain types of platforms. Even something like a photo hosting site is very risk heavy in Australia as the type of content on your servers is your responsibility.

I feel like those safe harbour laws in the US are at risk, at least in practice, as the idea of a content "conduit" begins being less plausible as platforms start moderating more and more.

Now, I am all in favour of moderation. Real life communities are moderated, and all the strongest online communities have some kind of moderation. But there needs to be protections for companies who are moderating the best they can and still have evil content on the site. Else these platforms won't be sustainable and will be in heavy legal risk to boot. They won't make much sense anymore.

I don't think a part of the brain tries to exfiltrate information from another by using moments when predictive coding is invalidated. Those moments when prediction fails are very useful, we learn from them.

We learn how to create representations of the present by conditioning them on correct prediction of the future. We build world models and thus get to imagine future scenarios, very useful in planning our actions both for achieving higher rewards and avoiding dangers.

So we get sensory representation and world modelling for free - no need to be taught explicitly, the teaching signal is just the link between present and future.

Point = {x, y} is a strange example. What exactly is being encapsulated? Any Point structure I've ever seen has accessors for x and y, and no other internal data.

In general, I don't see the need for encapsulation in order to qualify for object status. The classic counterexample is CLOS, which doesn't have it -- and the debate over that has been raging for decades [1].

[1]: http://wiki.c2.com/?HowObjectOrientedIsClos

The best basis for the essence of object-orientedness that I ever read was suggested in an article that focused on identity. (I don't remember where I saw this -- possibly from Kent Pitman?) If you could guarantee that some value is exactly the same as a value that you had earlier, and not just a mostly-copy but identical in every respect, then you had an object. Everything else falls out of that.

I agree with you in the abstract ideal, but for a lot of people, this choice is roughly as good as it gets. In place of moral compasses, most people have thermometers they use to read the room, adopting belief systems and then enforcing them brutally, with no room for anything resembling moral reasoning, nuance, or basic human decency. The majority of the variability tends to be in 1) the belief system they choose to ingest and 2) the degree of passion with which they choose to engage in it. I'm not throwing my hands up and drawing a universal false equivalency here: Not every possible manifestation is as harmful as every other, and I have no trouble saying that the dehumanization and hatred that marks the strain of mainstream idpol leftism that's currently popular[1] is nowhere near as dangerous a manifestation as that of the alt-right. I don't see a lot of moral distance between the _participants_ in either of these ideologies; as far as I can tell, circumstances out of one's control have an outsize influence on which ideology most people end up as footsoldiers in. But the way in which people's barbarism is sublimated is extremely important from a pragmatic point of view, and I'd much rather see Sam become a mirror of the old man described than the modal alt-right participant at that rally.

Taking the author at her word[2] when she describes how Sam started out, it sounds like he may have been in touch with the sensitivity and decency it takes to approach others with basic empathy. But such a state can be fragile and it sounds like Sam's reaction to the incident at his school knocked him out of that orbit. In the best-case scenario, it's a temporary situation, but the author's claim is that Sam is at a point where he's got a lot of confusion and passion and rage that he's sublimated into politics, and perhaps the best we can hope for is that the path of hate that he picks is one of the less harmful ones like garden-variety identitarian center-leftism.

[1] I'm aware that this is probably an extraordinary claim to many here, so here's a simple example of what I mean. FTA:

> I’d never in my life backed the “masculinist” cause or imagined that men needed protecting—yet I couldn’t help but agree with Sam’s analysis.

The idea that the author doesn't realize what an abhorrent view this is is chilling; people and their lives are insanely complicated, and there's no group that's flatly-generalizable enough that a decent person would never have occasion to imagine they may need protecting in some scenario or another. There's no difference, at its fundamental root, between this and other more recognized forms of dehumanizing people by erasing their individual identities.

[2] Though perhaps we can't take this for granted: as evidenced by other parts of the article, she doesn't seem like a particularly decent person herself.

A lot of "both sides" or "I can see how this happened. If only... " in this thread.

People with obvious political agendas are trying very hard to seem reasonable. I've clocked you. I see you.

Both sides do not have merit. The alt-right is hateful and violent. The alt-right is anti-science and denies the value of human beings because of the color of their skin or where they were born. The alt-right denies horrible atrocities occurred in the last century. The alt-right advocate genocide and violence.

Do not let these people walk in the daylight acting like "both sides have problems."

This child is very lucky he had a brilliant caring mother who was there for him during this time in his life. Otherwise, he probably never would have come back.
I don't see that as a contrarian opinion, at least not with my reading of the post.

Bicking isn't saying you should decide exactly what your users want and give them that and only that. (Well, he's not saying to not do that either, if in a situation where that's doable...) He is simply saying that if your final conclusion is "users want more control", then you're copping out. You are giving up on figuring out what your users really want (whether they know what it is or not), and just throwing options at them in hopes that they'll be able to make something out of them. Or at least stop complaining.

Giving your users control isn't bad. Not figuring out why your users are asking for more control is bad.

If you don't know what you're going to need to wrap (heck, it might be something with methods implemented with native code), but you want to override or intercept a certain subset of calls, then composition/delegation is really the only thing you can do. It's significantly more stable than trying to find the class of an arbitrary object at runtime, create a subclass of it, and try to copy the state of the original object.

For instance, I've seen instrumentation libraries monkey-patch database cursors with wrappers around those cursors, so the library can detect usage of the cursor without changing its behavior.

Django itself has a LazyObject class, which operates similarly to an ObjectProxy but only evaluates its wrapped initializer when one of its properties is accessed: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/_modules/django/utils/...

And I'm using wrapt in a project (which I hope to open source) where, by recursively wrapping the return value of every __getitem__ and __getattr__ with a properly-bookkept proxy object, you can see what subgraph of a complicated object hierarchy was actually used by a function call (say, the rendering of a Django or Jinja template). Possibilities of such a transformation are endless!
Why would they think/assume that URLs have infinite durability? If you buy a floppy disk with some data, it's very likely that you can still get the data that it holds if you manage to get a Floppy Disk Drive. But you cannot expect any change in the evolving conditions that allow you to get a floppy disk driver.

It's very likely that there would be something that replaces URLs in the future.

Amazon promise seems to be that they will always keep your data integrity and keep it accessible. The way I see is that they will be moving my data to newer or better storage types and will keep my data unchanged regardless of any technology change.

To keep with the analogy, Amazon's promise here is that they will always keep the data that you originally stored in your floppy disk, but they cannot promise to give it back to you in a floppy disk. Next year they might give it back to you in a CD and the year after in a cartridge.

The data has been always there, intact. They are just giving it to you in a different medium.
