No, because the standard interface shows me a postage-stamp sized understanding of the world. It's sufficient to follow the directions, but not useful for learning the broader context in the same way that one has to do with physical maps.
Reliable Hacker

>You are willing to rob millions of suffering people the chance of a cure, by mandating a system that effectively prevents a cure from being developed.

The cure may be worse than the disease, I bet not every one of these one-off mutations is deadly, and how debilitating it is may vary. I'm not trying to rob anyone from the chance of a cure, I'm just saying that to save the most people, resource allocation makes sense.

Now if the incentives are misaligned by virtue of the laws we write, we might need to change those.

I've got this vague idea in my head of a WordPress plugin that cooperates with other WordPress installations with the plugin, such that your own blog could turn into a social network. So you publish content to your blog, and your blog pulls content from your friends' blogs with the plugin, and you can all comment on each other's posts and stuff. Tack on some kind of slick mobile app for uploading pictures and the like. I dunno.

It might be too late for today's babies, but if you could build a big enough catalog of mutations and suspected/confirmed ill effects, then you'd potentially be able to catch thousands of these mutations essentially at conception and supply a custom therapy right then and there to correct it before any brain development has begun at all.

Getting back on the topic of backdooring chips, the US has a strong track-record lately of leaking secrets. You can take some solace in the fact that anything the US would try in that arena has a much higher chance of being leaked compared to authoritarian regimes.

I still think her work is at most middling in terms of difficulty and likely not even that. Multiple levels of character insight is nothing compared to Ulysses parodying in sequence the entire development of the English language in stream of consciousness mirroring the gestation of a baby in a woman's womb, or the first chapter of The Sound and the Fury which tries to represent the internal experience of a severely mentally handicapped nonverbal 33-year-old man for whom past and present cannot be distinguished and who cannot understand simple phenomena like the movement of a horse-drawn carriage through space, or the second section of that same book which follows Quentin's turbulent and troubled mind through his final moments leading to his suicide. These sections are not just difficult to read, but also look outward from inside a character.

Jane Austen is a great author, and her works can often be appreciated and analyzed on multiple levels. But I just don't think she's a reasonable example of a difficult author when one considers the full spectrum of literature available today.
I'm sorry that you don't think it's realistic that not every family uses IM to stay in touch.

Ok, but who do you treat well in this situation? The unpleasant student, or the person who is asking for information about them? If you remain silent about your honest opinion of the student, you are potentially foisting this unpleasantness on your colleague who might hire her.

For me, the takeaway here is to be honest and to not exaggerate, especially in matters of import. You can't always do the best thing for everyone, so when that's impossible, let the truth be your guide. The other thing is that the adviser should have brought these concerns to the student while she was still under his tutelage.
Double plus to the wetland issue. I'm a pretty lefty environmentalist guy, but after building a house and having a wife on city council for a small town, I've realized that the Clean Water Act was essentially a huge government taking of land. Virtually every ditch is now considered a Wetland if you apply the rules literally, which puts it under the Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands guidance. States are federally required to develop regulations around this. Our town has to file for wetlands permits to MOW the ditches.

Imagine any project from the past that would go through anything wet: national highway system, national parks trails, Appalachian trail. None could be built today.

The point is to make it part of the solution.

Only if they can.

In the US, people generally have at most a couple of ISP choices, and the general pattern of duopolies is to offer basically the same thing with minor differentiators (e.g., one will be 10% cheaper and 10% worse). Many airline routes are minimally competitive.

This is not getting better with ecosystem lock-in effects. As TFA mentions, this guy had such a bad experience that he sued Apple, and he still bought another laptop from them. That's because Apple intentionally killed off the companies that built MacOS compatible hardware, and never allowed anybody else to build IOS phones or tablets.
I think you missed the point of my comment a bit :-P.

It was about how mainstream technology today focuses on web-based stuff, data harvesting, mobile phones (and how they are way more locked down than your typical desktop computer - even when taking Windows into account), complexity of all these things, etc and desktop computers have fallen to the wayside (ironically everything mentioned is power by Linux).

FWIW i think desktop peaked around Windows 2000 and on Linux around GNOME 2 and KDE 3.5, since then everything has becoming progressively worse. But -IMO- that is a consequence of the lack of focus on the desktop in general.
I wish compiling the Rust compiler itself was faster. It literally takes days to compile on my old laptop.
> The reality is, dealing with the FDA side of things was about 15000 times more complicated for us than HIPAA compliance.

[...]

> The regulatory affairs people at most medical companies are FDA compliance experts that know how to comply with HIPAA, rather than HIPAA experts that some how penetrate the FDA requirements.

Well, yeah, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 is centrally a law regulating insurance provision whose rules and regulations most significantly impact payers; the parts impacting providers (while there is some compliance effort required, particularly regarding privacy and security) were actually designed to reduce the burden on providers; the privacy/security elements of HIPAA were included to mollify fears about the incentivizing and standardization of electronic billing transactions, they aren't the central focus of HIPAA though they are the part that (now that the “number of the beast” fearmongering has faded) remains in the public consciousness.

EDIT: And even then, the HIPAA privacy rules aren't all that simple; if you want simple privacy rules, the rules for privacy of federally-funded drug and alcohol treatment patient data are much simpler, and also stronger privacy protections.
The comment is for the comment i replied to, not the linked video. If it was for the video i'd post it as a top level comment.

(though if anything around 1999 things were most likely looking towards desktop use, it wouldn't be until a few years later that computing would turn away from desktop and towards the web and later towards mobiles)

And yet such nuance is never afforded to the other empires mentioned in GP's comment. "Communism killed 100 million" etc. being widely held views.
For most software I would agree with you. Usually you have some CRUD application where people don't know how to index and use hashing.

But the Rust compiler is an amazing static analyzer. Running one on C++ to get the same level of memory safety will often take hours on sizeable projects.
Why the hypothetical? Valid uses are already implemented. Salient points on a face do not cause a face but you can still get very good facial recognition.

Its a parlor trick perhaps, but its silly to ignore the results.

As for building a biased system, again its just about the data you use and you could easily build an "intelligent" system that had a racial bias. We should worry about automation that simply pushes the status quo but I don't think that's a problem specific to statistical based ML.

The 'muddying the waters, what about the US' comments on these threads always intrigue me.
GRPR forces institutions to be open with their disciplinary processes.

But a problem with this is that by the nature of disciplinary processes, it may or may not be appropriate to fully disclose what is being investigated to the subject of the investigation in real time.

Much the same ethical and practical issues arise as when the police are investigating someone for suspected criminal behaviour. Indeed, in some cases, it may turn out that one becomes the other.

Much the same ethical and practical issues may also arise as when dealing with any sort of whistle-blowing, where there is a clear interest in protecting the privacy of the whistle-blower as long as the matter they raise and any evidence they personally contribute can be properly validated and, where appropriate, properly challenged.

Let's suppose you're right and non-determinism doesn't exist. (Quantum physics apparently disagrees, but never mind that.)

It doesn't matter. Treating people as though they have agency is still necessary, because how we treat them would affect their deterministic state function.

If someone commits murder and we say it was only a product of their environment and they have no agency, therefore we shouldn't punish them, well, that's the sort of "choice" that, on a systemic level, causes more people to commit murder. Even if they have no "choice" in the matter -- especially then -- creating an environment in which murder has personal benefits outweighing the personal costs is societally maladaptive.

And so it is with everything else. If we want people to give to charity and go to college and not steal from others then we have to act as if they chose whether or not to do those things and reward or punish them accordingly.
Interesting - have you had any thoughts as to how to improve this? Eg, to get the items into the correct part of your brain?
Neither AMD nor Intel offer x86 chips that give end users full access to the highest privilege levels.
Yes, I think the OS vendors are asleep at the wheel, or they're drunk/high on the moolah to be made by putting the user out there in the data-harvesting markets.

If we had still real OS vendors, there wouldn't be Dropbox or Facebook - these services would've just been folded in as user-controllable, user-centric services that the local OS manages .. I think the general public have been betrayed by those who should have been building better user-controlled operating systems, rather than exposing it all ..

Why would we be pretty confident about that? Edward Snowden himself revealed to what depths the US would stoop, and it's got to be a thousand times worse now than what he reported. There are, in my opinion, definitely Americans out there spreading propaganda about the US on taxpayers money. You yourself could very well be one of those people.
I mean, you don’t believe that, do you? Maybe we should all be writing our own sorting algorithms as well.

I kind of assumed that DRY was a universally accepted principle in software engineering.

But I guess the Pythonic way is about copy and pasted code, no abstractions, wasting people’s time, egregious language inconsistencies, no multi-threading, and terrible performance.

I’ve probably written more Python than any other language, and honestly, using it feels bad. It feels outdated and useless.

I think the astonishing thing is how incompetent our foreign service is today; even in 1979 the U.S. Embassy had hardly anyone who speaks Persian and got completely blindsided.

In 1954 the US was capable of kneecapping Iran and other countries, but today it is too blinded by an ideology that refuses to accept it is an ideology to do the same.
After I had my traumatic experiences, I started thinking of it as more-like childish behavior, not even high school. Even at high school, a lot of people are the same childhood monsters with just a bit of persona, gravitas, connections and expertise. At least, that's what I thought. Some people grow out of it and become enlightened, but most don't and just become phonies.

On the other side of these experiences, when everything is going well it's easy to ignore all that's wrong with people.

Not a good example, Communism abrogates spirituality. It's intrinsically barren and illegitimate. The CCP, founded on a lie, can never afford the truth. And, indeed, we find them trying to maintain a fabricated history to maintain their power. (The "incident" in the Square, the name of Taiwan, and so on.)

Generally, there is a correlation between personal power and integrity.
Second step would be to have a way for the client to report an error. I’ve seen a number of systems where this isn’t the case — just looking at the server logs everything looks okay until a week later that client calls to say they haven’t gotten a file in a week and wondering if something is wrong.
> On Aug. 24, Chinese state media announced a proposed change in the Criminal Procedure Law which would allow police to legally detain individuals and hold them incommunicado in secret detention for up to six months without contact with either their families or legal counsel.

Up to six months! That's not bad, considering the fact that some prisoners have been held in Guantanamo for 10 years+ and can be detained there indefinitely without trial and subjected to torture [1].

>Free will is an illusion and simply it doesn't exist.

I'll ante with Pascal's wager and say it does exist.

If I'm right, then I'm right.

If I'm wrong, then the whole notion of right and wrong aren't applicable to reality, no different than CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O just being and not having a right or wrong to it.

Unless there is an alternative to the options free will exists and free will does not exist, then this wager does not suffer the same flaw that the original does.
I wish anki supports better import-from-text-files, i.e. I can write the cards in a text editor(e.g. vim), then import it to anki easily with syntax highlighting etc just works, I failed to find one does that, use anki's own interface to input a large amount of info is difficult for me. it will be nice if anki has a pre-defined format/template so we can edit(add/delete/change) the cards using better editors.

Looking forward to seeing it complete! I got into programming languages after reading Game programming patterns, and I'm absolutely hooked. When I saw you were working on this book I worked through the first half of it in a week using JS, loved it.

I started the second half in Rust about a week ago, I don't have enough vacation days to work through it at the pace I did the first half. Finding it a bit harder so far, but I think that's just because I'm still new at Rust.

You may have already mentioned this but will you be publishing a physical copy when your done? I'd love to get one for the shelf.

Having just finished two weeks on the job, one Friday evening before heading out I decided to reboot my Sun Sparcstation. I of course did not have root but there was L1-A which put you into the BIOS. Then: sync;sync;reboot

Workstation starts rebooting.

30 seconds later the sysadmin is standing over my shoulder.

SA - "What did you do?"
me - "I rebooted it"
SA - Incredulous. Like I just set my hair on fire. "Why?"
me - "Its been two week, you know defrag memory, free up the page tables"
(some vague psuedo cs bs)
SA - "This is a Solaris X.Y/SunOS Q.Y machine.
It had an uptime of 180+days.
I have machines here with an uptime of 2+ years."
me - "Really?"
SA - "These machines do not need a reboot. Ever. Please do not do this again."

I arrived Monday to find that L1-A had been disabled on my machine.
