Yes, my feeling is that we're in an "in between" situation:

- the promise of AWS et al. is that deep learning is available to every developer ; this is true on a purely technical basis, but without appropriate knowledge and experience, constituting a curated database is really hard.

- CV expertise is a little bit overrated nowadays, as I believe key success factors for a CV project is not the technical expertise of the algorithm wizard, but rather the rigorousness of the project management (data science is 20%, the rest is 80%).

I may be wrong, but both approaches lack the same thing: a way to curate the image dataset — and get those 80% of the work done without hassle. Once these 80% of data management is done, the main difference between the "CV amateur" and "CV expert" is the ability to push the performance of the algorithm.

But maybe we just lack a "Postgres for images" that would make these 80% easier, after all :)
Very interesting, so there are a few studies! Thank you for pointing this out, I had been under the impression that there were none whatsoever. I am not sure what conclusions can be drawn from these few studies at present (I found four or five on the Google Scholar link). It would be interesting if someone with the requisite technical background could read and assess them. (And the question of funding, as discussed in the Guardian article I linked to in another post, is also relevant, as empirically speaking, industry-funded studies on the whole do lead to significantly different results from independently-funded studies).
Yeah, I'm working on a computer vision product, and the dtaa collection is a nightmare. Not just collecting alot, but getting enought samples for each class and each type of situation that might arise. It makes me want to pull my hair out.
Uhuh:

"The Junkers Ju 49 was a German aircraft designed to investigate high-altitude flight and the techniques of cabin pressurization. It was the world's second working pressurized aircraft, following the Engineering Division USD-9A which first flew in the United States in 1921.[1] By 1935, it was flying regularly to around 12,500 m (41,000 ft)."
I know people who do both, and I know people who do one or the other.

A lot of whether this can work depends on your work environment. If it's one that fits you well, and one where what they require of you isn't totally draining, it's likely you will find yourself willing to follow your passions.

Should it be draining, or a tough environment, the cost may be those passions.

Why do you want a job in tech?

That's as important as the potential risks to your current passions.

Are you able to follow those passions without a tech job?

Could you potentially find one with more synergy? It's always good to find work that resonates in this way. Many of us have.

There is also the fact that any burnout could put your passions at risk. Are you at risk in your current job?

Factoring all that down, you are most concerned about burnout, and you are not entirely sure where your burnout level is.

Physically, you've got some warning signs. Regardless of how you proceed, it's advisable to address those right now.

Do you have access to health care? (I have to ask in the US, because large numbers of us find that expensive, inaccessible) Bring this up. Make a plan.

You seem young. Deal with the very basics no matter what.

That's all I got.

Last time I got into a discussion on Facebook about 5G someone ended up responding with this article:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5...

The Lancet, from what I understand, is a pretty respectable journal and now I'm not sure what to make of the issue. Most of the anti-5G videos share a lot in common with antivax conspiracy theory stuff but this article seems well cited. I'm still a skeptic but wasn't sure how to respond.
Tricky question: how do you define "enough"? :)
(I usually answer my clients as a joke: "thing about the MAXIMUM number of images you can provide me. Well 'enough', for us, is twice more!")
The error was just ignored. if doThing() had some side effect that doOtherThing() depended on then you will never know why doOtherThing() isn't working the way you expect it to be.
It can be. Certainly for me, the joy I got from experimenting with tech pretty much declined in the decade or so since I started working full time with computers. Now, after the working day, I try to avoid computers, preferring instead things like cooking, walking outside, or playing piano.

So I can’t give you any advice, other than to say your fears are well-founded.

No, my response would be that when something "gets darkened" the mechanisms by which that can happen depend on whether the thing "getting darkened" is a source of light like the sun, or merely a reflector, like the moon. But both phenomena are fully fledged components of reality.

You surely know more about COBOL than I do, but what about decimal arithmetic? I mean if the problem domain requires arithmetic correctly rounded to thousandths, with the operands loaded from fixed text fields and the results stored in fixed text fields, COBOL gives you that directly in the language, and presumably on a relatively efficient form. I don't know if using instructions like 8086 DAA and AAA is a win on today's CPUs, but surely avoiding the sequence of long divisions to convert from binary to decimal is a win (if what you're doing between input and output is, like, an addition and a multiplication by 1.0575, or something). Are you thinking that maybe some C++ template Decimal class with some integer parameters is going to beat GnuCOBOL on an amd64?

Slice operations are verbose because abstracting over them requires generics. Generic operations which don't allocate, like pop, are just as verbose as generic operations which do, while operations on slices of a specific type can be made non-verbose because it is possible to abstract over those. There is no principle of "deliberate verbosity so as not to hide the cost of allocation".

Oh please. Is "embrace, extend, extinguish" bad because it is slowly closing off the open web, or is it fine that Apple, Spotify, etc are buying podcast producers and moving away from RSS for their own proprietary delivery methods.

And I'm not hating on Apple for doing what the bulk of the commercial content industry is doing. I listen to The Daily via their public RSS feeds, and I'm also an NYT subscriber. A significant majority of podcasting is available via public RSS feeds, even subscription-only Slate Plus allows you to plug a personalized RSS feed into the app of your choice. Apple and Spotify aren't building on existing open-web technologies that power RSS to deliver their premium content, they're forcing everybody into their proprietary apps after purchasing podcast producers (some of which, like Gimlet, I was previously ALSO a paid member of).

Perhaps it's best that we default to a highly critical stance when it comes to the most valuable and most profitable company in the world, and the decisions they make that affect the foundational principles of the web as we know it?
It is to be applied right Red Fortera Review before you expect to have sexual intercourse directly onto the penis. This is supposed to let the ingredients soak right into the source of your erectile dysfunction, which is obviously your penis. After it is applied, desired results should be seen relatively immediately. Despite the fact that this is supposed to be an instant relief male enhancement method, the product website also recommends that you take Maxoderm for up to 12 weeks to start getting desired results. This is a long time to try out a cream. It also says you can use it as you need, and technically can never use too much of it.

Other than a few consumers complaining that they lost sensation during intercourse after using the cream, there really haven't been much bad things said about Maxoderm. Many claim it acts better as a lubricant though then as a male enhancement form to really help men with erectile dysfunction. If you are in the market for a more potent formula that will help your impotency from the inside out, topical solutions might not be the right product for you.

All the methods and techniques that are concerned with increasing the size of penis do not just try to elongate penis. They try to improve the sexual functioning of a man so that he can enjoy his sex life. These are herbal formulations that try to increase the sexual excitement so that the penis remains erect for a longer time. They prevent premature ejaculation and improve sexual health of a man so that he derives maximum pleasure from the act of sex.

The main principle around which various pills, lotions and crèmes work is the flow of blood to the penis. There is a pair of cylindrical tissues called corpora cavernosa in a penis that carry blood from the testicles to the penis. When this blood flow is regular and in requisite amount, the penis gets erect and is hard to provide full satisfaction. But when this function is disturbed, the penis does not get erect, and this is what these herbal formulations try to rectify.

This is what Waze does (based on anecdata between me and friends), so it would make sense for Google Maps to do, too.
The difficulty is that with 5G, there is no option to stay away or pick the safer choice (save moving to some remote area), as the 5G base stations will transmit to everyone indiscriminately with no possibility of opting out.
I was an engineer at PGP from 2004-2011 and ended up running the server team as lead engineer. I wouldn't disagree with most of the points brought up by the author, both the code base and standard has accreted over time and it's incredibly complex. There were only a couple of people on the team that really understood all the facets of either the OpenPGP or SMIME/x509 standards. It's made worse in that it was a hack on top of another system that had accreted over time (email) and that system was never intended to be secure. We had massive database of malformed or non-compliant emails from every email client since the beginning of time. The sub-packets that the author mentions were primarily used for dealing with forwarded chains of encrypted email messages where each previous message had it's own embedded mime-encoded encrypted/signed messages and attachments.

The problem is that no-one else has gone through the process of establishing a community/standard that's capable of replacing it. Each system has built their own inoperable walled garden that doesn't work with anyone else, and none of them have a user base large enough to make encryption easy and pervasive.

My own secret hope is that Apple is forced to open iMessage as a part of an anti-trust action and that acts as a catalyst for interoperability.

I've been (ab)using ansible-vault for this. It's apparently[1] now using reasonable primitives (PBKDF2+AES-CTR+HMAC-SHA256), but not necessarily the latest and bestest ones: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.8.1/lib/ansible/p...

The implemention is sub-optimal though, with some silly issues that haven't been fixed like https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/12121

Yes. Email is designed to be stored forever, and all attempts to do otherwise fail due to the design of email clients. Chat is possible to designed to self-destruct. Anyone can screenshot either, so there’s no use worrying about that.
Yes, but the author mentions a lot of other stuff - I think the OP of this comment was just trying to trim out some superfluous topics.
It's bizarre and alarming that this fairly reasonable and well-informed (if somewhat hyperbolic) comment is downvoted into the deep grey.
Whent talking about alternatives, Signal and WhatsApp get mentioned because they're easy to use. They are. Signal is pretty secure. WhatsApp probably is as well but we can't be sure. That is, until it isn't anymore.

WhatsApp already has a key extraction protocol built right in for its Web interface. Signal has a web (Electron) interface as well, and a shitty one at that, where the messages also get decrypted. For WhatsApp, this means you're one line of code away from Facebook extracting your private keys.

Signal is different, in that they're not a for profit company. However, they've shown in the past that they are under no circumstances willing to allow support of any unofficial client or federate with another. In fact, they've taken steps against alternative clients on the past, making it clear that only their client is allowed to use the signal system. The moment the signal servers go out, Signal becomes unusable. This also leaves signal in the same position as WhatsApp, where we are dependent on one person compiling the app and publishing it on whatever app store you prefer. If signal has any Australian contributors and their code review fails sufficiently this means you're basically toast the moment the Australian government gets annoyed at a particular signal user enough.

Very few real alternatives to PGP exist. PGP is not just a message encryption format, it's a _federated_ message encryption format. There are very few actual federated message standards that come close to the features PGP supports. There's S/MIME, but that's only available after paying an expensive company for it to be of any use because it's validated as a normal TLS certificate and the free vert providers don't do S/MIME.

If all of these "real cryptographers" disagreeing with PGP's design would design a new system that can be used the same way PGP is used, I'm sure we'd see that getting some good usage figures quite quickly. But all alternatives seem to focus on either signing OR encrypting OR the latest secure messaging app instead of a PGP replacement.

First of all, if you are signing something and want to prove that you are the author, then PGP will allow you to do that.

If you want to encrypt something and prove you are the author, PGP will still allow you to do that.

Does the author mean that PGP is bad for email specifically?

Excel has many of the mentioned properties, such as backwards compatibility and inefficiency, but it gets the job done and you bet it will pay your bills.

It feels to me like these posts are like the 80:20 problem, but rather with 99:1 and it's all about that 1%. I understand that software developers should use libsodium. But I'll sign the words "U R A >on" right now in GPG and wait for you to break my key and sign "U R 1 2" with my private key...

Forcing iMessage to open will immediately result in MITM iMessage proxies that users can use to store iMessages that are meant to auto-delete, so that they can violate the wishes of the other party. These do not exist today because Apple binds iMessage to your hardware and bans your entire device when anyone is found to be operating such a service, either for themselves or others.

Do you want open source clients that can be altered to ignore all privacy criteria — or do you want closed-source clients that make a good faith effort to adhere to auto-deletion protocols?

Pick one. There is no middle ground.
You write: "Radio simply cannot give you cancer. It's been proven. We understand the physics. It's been tested to death."

> It is notable that many (though not all) extraterrestrial theories focus on archaeological structures at sites within Egypt, Africa, South America, and North America — a fact that has led some academics to see beliefs in ancient alien engineers as a stalking horse for racism.

How about, they focus on those sites because that's where human civilization started in the first place? They'd happily focus on London, if London existed in 10000 B.C.

Ancient Aliens people are crackpots[0], but are mostly harmless ones. But taking that and viewing it as "stalking horse for racism" is just trying to score cheap virtue points. It's worse than crackpottery in my book.

[0] - I'm not one of them; to be clear, I was just making a drive-by StarGate joke, as I always do in such topics if I see that no one has made it before, because it's a notable scifi franchise that took the "ancient aliens" concept and went wild with it.

The applications are very very speculative and far-reaching. I think, by the time the applications are feasible there will probably be a way to do minimally invasive craniectomy. The neural implant is impressive work, but anything beyond that is probably going to be very different than is speculated.
I am a full time developer in go. I feel the lack of good error handling every time I write a function call and then have to use the same if statement to check its result.
Can we please not adopt this as a potential use case for this topic though? Real applications look more like this:

Imagine a movement. Follow an intense training protocol many times for each possible movement so that the signal processing component actually gets meaningful data it can differentiate and is certain enough that you want to trigger something. After multiple hours of training it might actually get good enough. Input dimensionality for that method would likely be simple action triggers (at least less than a traditional keyboard) instead of a complex concept abstraction.

Alternative: Stare at a board of visual stimuli, repeat for a few hours in order to train the system to your brain. Stare at board of visual stimuli again in order to actually use the thing. Again, slow paced and limited input dimensionality.

While these invasive models produce better signals than non-invasive BCI, they do not include a feedback mechanism and have far less throughput than using a keyboard. Which is great if you have a medical need for the technology and thus cannot use traditional interfaces, everything else is sci fi. I'm not trying to say that this isn't cool but we should really refrain from painting it as some miracle tech, otherwise we cannot really complain if media adopts that image and misrepresents the whole field again.

I made a very conscious decision to refocus my creative energy from hobby projects (I was busy with making music/bands/production) into my "tech" career 10+ years ago. This was one of the most dramatic multiplier decisions of my life. Everything is still revolving around tech in some way, but in fantastic manifestations … community building, non-profit founding, teaching at a college level, co-working, art/design residencies/exhibitions/publications, and a handful of companies … it’s been very enriching, and easily one of the top 5 good decisions I've made.
