The hype is BS but narrow AI in the context of automation is here.
Job are so specialised nowadays (driving, cashiers, fulfilment, paralegal, diagnostician ...) that a narrow AI (i.e. a glorified automation algorithm) that can do just 10% better at a cheaper cost will take down the job.
The confusion is real (AI, AGI, terminator...) but pattern recognition softwares powered with big data has already proven business value and are here to stay.
We can, we should and in some countries we do, but the increasing reliance of POTS services on internet technology make them vulnerable to the same weaknesses that exist in the internet.
From my understanding the frequency response of the amp is designed by the gain stages and the capacitors and resistances used. This changes the so called "voicing" of the amp.

A good resource I can recommend are the books by Igor S Popovich. At least volume one and two.

I agree with you, and wonder why it's so hard to make chips 3D, but have a quibble. Jack Kilby's integrated circuit wasn't planar. Gold wires connected each part. Jean Hoerni at Fairchild is the inventor of the fully planar process. http://aneeshpthankachan.blogspot.com/2014/01/era-of-integra...

>rightfully and loudly blamed

There is an enormous difference between assigning fault in a good faith attempt to find a root cause/solution, and casting unnecessary, unprofessional insults such as "Verizon's team should be ashamed of themselves". One is productive, and the other is just being a dick.

>The way you lead people isn't the same as the way you lead companies.

Yes, it certainly is. A company is an organization of people, after all. You don't get to eschew professionalism and start throwing around insults just because a group of people has decided to attach an additional label over their heads.

And just to put an even finer point on it, Matthew Prince's tweets about the issue were not targeted at Verizon "the company". He specifically attacked Verizon's NOC and its team members. Despite everything, this isn't a faceless, soulless corporation that's having insults hurled at them. He specifically went after a specific group of people and publicly shamed them. And then he has the gall to shame them even more for not immediately chomping at the bit to help someone who just aggressively insulted them.

Ask yourself: if Matthew Prince had sent a tweet berating team members from his own company, telling them they should be ashamed of themselves, and spent the rest of the day commenting on the internet insulting their competence, would you still be saying he is a good leader? Or even a good CEO? Of course not. It's Leadership 101 that insulting your team members isn't a good leadership style. And that doesn't change just because Prince isn't the one signing the Verizon team's paychecks.

> This is not a problem that requires active cooperation.

This is clearly not the opinion of those at Cloudflare that are loudly kicking their feet and whining that Verizon didn't devote enough resources to actively cooperate with Cloudflare's troubleshooting today.
Same situation, we just had our first child, and the amount of ads and branding we were (and are) exposed to now is just staggering. We've been given a bunch of "helpful" boxes that contained some content-marketing bullshit booklets for parents + samples of commercial care products + a lot of ads for said products. Hell, even the health book for our child that we were given has several full-page ads of baby care products (that last made me feel sick in my stomach a bit, advertisers jumped the shark here IMO). And that's all off-line.

On-line, I didn't expect much. Any topic that's highly relevant to regular people is already gamed by advertisers to the extent there's nothing useful to be found on the mainstream Internet. It's all content marketing garbage. For good information, you have to visit places like official government sites, or niche subreddits & web forums.
Redundancy cost money, and most companies do not want to pay for it.

I work for a company with about 40 employees. Our offices are connected to two different ISPs: one by optical fiber and one by VDSL. We have two different telephone operators for our outgoing calls from the offices, and I have two mobile phones with different operators.

During the last five years there have been multiple outages that lasted between minutes and days, but most of the times the redundancy have saved us. But when we lost power (the whole city went dark for hours) we went down when the batteries in the UPS was drained. Having our own generators is too expensive.
"AI is the phrase behind which magic hides and people love magic. Everything that has the aura of “humans don’t fully understand how it works in detail” will be used by charlartans, snake oil salesmen and conmen."

Maybe I’m reading this wrong, but isn’t this just describing an echo chamber? Sure that’s nice with concepts like justice, but if the internet shows anything it’s that we thought we agreed on things far more than we actually do.

Self-driving cars may be safer than manually driven cars in certain contexts.

What's missing from AI is reliability. It's brittle, it works well in some situations and not at all in others.

Which is a problem, because you can never be sure how well it's working for you.

There's no anti-Dunning-Kruger-function to say "I'm sorry Dave, I can't handle this, you should take over" - partly because that's not something you want to experience driving into a hail storm at 70mph on a freeway if you're asleep, but also because it would require a level of domain-specific AI self-awareness that is barely on the radar in most domains.
These days it’s more 95% easy, last 5% hard.

Canonical have been pretty awful at ensuring compatibility IME, I'm not sure if they're to blame or the individual projects but they've flip flopped on enough things (like wayland) that cause incompatibilities for developers.

One game for instance, will start with the games display rectangle offset by the gnome top bar under wayland but not in xorg. Another game but the same publisher has the same issue in xorg but not wayland. Another by the same publisher again relied on a dependency that got removed from the base distro between 16.04 and 18.04.

I'm not sure if any other distros are better, but I've seen issue like this sit in the ubuntu bug tracker for years before getting closed with no resolution, switching users for instance doesn't seem to have worked for the better part of a decade.
Thank you for sharing this! I love it. It's beautiful.

Unfortunately, I also have literally no idea what you're proposing. I would like to, though.
ufw is awesome and really shit at the same time...
as long as you just need opened & closed ports its all fine, as soon as you do something with multiple networks (Docker, VM's) you have to fix quite alot manually into iptables directly and make sure it gets readded whenever ufw decides to overwrite iptables.

i can highly recommend to directly use iptables and take a look at the arch linux wiki and especially this site https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Simple_stateful_firewal...
Really? Alibaba, Baidu, Chinsese university, etc. are publishing many more usable open papers in the AI field than the GAFA.

But plenty of city have plenty of snow. So perhaps not a deal breaker in a limited set of circumstances.

Why should we add to already high construction costs just because the self driving tech isn’t up to snuff?

And that’s where you are wrong. Who builds the same product they were building 15 or 20 years ago? It never gets simpler unless what you are working on is trivial. Technology has always been about pushing the limits.

You never have enough chip resources, speed and computing power to spin the next step up in a design, much less keep up with the state of the art in any non-trivial domain a decade or two later.

Put a different way: If you are using FPGA’s correctly they will never be like software...because that’s wasteful of resources and performance. If it’s easy and “like software” it can probably be done in software with an off-the-shelf CPU/GPU.

Using walkable paths and chanting while walking to memorize facts/stories. Great for groups of people to share the knowledge of one person with the rest of the group. One chants, the others repeat.

I also personally used this method to learn botanical names of plants. Walking rhythmically through a botanical garden and chanting the names rhythmically as a group was a great way to memorize them.

So each Figure could be a walkable memorizing pathway for future generations?

It sounds like you are having some personal issues though. Specifically, in regards to accepting people. I think this would come up in therapy quite strongly if you went, though I am not saying you need to go.

Over the last 9 years I have changed my life around quite drastically. Yet, my family and people that I used to know well only remember me as the old version of myself. And so, a lot of the conversations stem from that perspective. Which, honestly, is both draining and pathetic at the same time.

But because fighting over it is not worth the effort, I try to accept it as much as I can.
The problem with 10nm is that they were too ambitious and tried to do it without EUV. 7nm is being developed by a different team and does use EUV so it shouldn't suffer from the same delays.

But in the age of fast. Seems like going slow and putting more effort into hand writing notes pays off in learning. As a side note analogy if you drive via GPS you will not remember they way as easy if you drive without via analogue map.

How about if you take notes on laptop put that into spaced repetition software like Anki & Supermemo compared to hand written notes memory retention?

I agree that defining a goal along with metrics would be very helpful to make meaningful progress towards AGI. However, defining this test is extremely hard, to a point where I'm not sure if we could define a test like this. So far it seems, that just by defining a test we can come up with a narrow AI that optimizes for this test.
1) multiplexed audio. Sure, your frame clock may only be 44.1khz, but the bit clock on a mere 8 channels of this will be 11.2896mhz, to say nothing of oversampling, to say nothing of processing

2) low latency processing of the above may require in-situ pipelining in which the pass-through buffer itself IS the processing buffer, etc. imagine being able to eat the pot you boil your pasta in.

3) why WOULDN'T any well-designed elegant system have every single tick as a function of that bit clock? It makes no sense to deliberately place spanners in your own path, particularly as pertains to jitter etc.

point being: Control.
Precise control over timing is required for deterministic temporal activities.

Removing precise control over timing from the language stack one uses to program FPGA's with is removing a desirable feature for many of their uses cases.

If one is interesting in glossing over all this abstraction, why is one wishing to use an FPGA at all?

I will reverse the question and say: "in which scenarios is someone hoping to avoid addressing precise timing constructs in FPGA programming?"

Obviously I'm not referring to clock propagation delay or quantum entanglement etc LOL I mean the intentional macro stuff wrt "timing"
A really efficient slave. Essentially it does not get creative and is ultimately predictable, even in failure modes. It would also have no subconscious drives to do unexpected things.

> Very curious, what is it that makes circuit simulation so interesting to HN readers?

For me, because I'm interested in making electronics but never learned it well (beyond plugging LEDs and servos to Arduino, or soldering together some kits and an ignition system for a model rocket engine). I don't have as much time as I had before to learn everything the slow way of etching my own PCBs and tinkering with the soldering iron - so I'm interested in anything that lets me test out and iterate on circuit designs without having to actually build them out of physical components.

Like the intellectual equivalent of a beast of burden - good at solving open problems by (apparently) intuiting connections and making inferences, probably with the appearance of creative operation and experimental learning, but lacking any genuine desire or personal agency.

IMO this is much more plausible as AGI than some kind of mythical general meta-intelligence that has a virtual soul.

I don't see why consciousness or agency are at all necessary for AGI - except as a science fiction trope.
Access to CDR's is the worst kept secret in the telecom world - so many layers have access - and by any measure have to.

Remember, you don't own your call detail records, the telco does, its not legally your data and never has been. (in the United States anyhow)
Asking how close our computers and algorithms are to AGI is like asking how close our machines and power systems are to "human physicality".
I've also noticed that. Their targeted advertising is much more relevant to me than any other platform I've been on and it's kinda infuriating.
Too bad lawmakers must first experience the problem themselves, before they spring to action. I believe support for healthcare problems and modern-day solutions (such as s embryonic stem cell research) would benefit from showing more passion towards others.
When I was younger I worked at a retail store and I remember being thrilled to discover I could telnet into a cash register and echo text directly to the attached receipt printer.[0] I became a small time hero at one point when I used this power to alert our sister store that their phones weren't accepting calls during the middle of the holiday season.

[0] Also interesting is the time I discovered that sending a special escape code to the printer caused the cash drawer to open, but that's a tale for another thread.
If the data hadn't been collected in the first place, it wouldn't be used against us. Data austerity is the best form of data protection. In this case the state mandates the data hoarding of telco providers, which makes it even worse.

I don't know about the USA, but in Australia all these government programs come with so much paperwork and bullshit that it's not worth it.

The most successful program, Accelerating Commercialisation (or Commercialising Acceleration, or whatever this year's government is calling it) requires matching funding, only funds a specific project, and takes around 3-6 months to complete the application process. Very suitable for a existing small business trying to create a new product line, totally useless for a startup trying to iterate in a new market quickly.

The grant also comes with a case worker to follow progress, and the money is released in tranches according to achievement milestones. All sounds great on paper, but it completely ignores the fact that the original plan will definitely change in response to new information or market changes.

I've known a few people who've been through the process, and they all said that the money wasn't worth the hassle involved.

And that's the best, most successful government funding program. The others are worse, way worse.

The root cause is that the mindset needed to be a successful bureaucrat is so far away from the mindset needed to be a successful entrepreneur. There's no way any program that would actually be useful to entrepreneurs will be acceptable to the bureaucrats who administer it.

Also, the purpose of any funding program is complete the moment that a politician steps up to a TV camera to accept credit for creating it. Anything that happens after that is pointless/just a bonus. The point of all these programs is not to actually help new businesses, but to help political careers.

My advice to anyone looking to get government help for their business is to not bother, it's just a distraction from communicating with customers. And it'll be five times as time-consuming and painful as you expect, with one fifth the return you expect.

Then look at Eigen vs alternative C libraries for example.

Constexpr allows for compile time code execution, introduced in C++11 and extended with each C++ revision, C++20 version even allows for partial STL use.

There is plenty of stuff one can do with it, when coupled with template metaprogramming, it is basically C++'s version of Lisp macros, although a bit clusmy.
