Julia isn't that much positioned as an AI language, it's more of a numerical analysis and scientific computing language at this point competing with matlab, which is something that doesn't go through hype cycles. The fact that it's so well positioned for AI research is the result of that focus (high performance, expressive, interactive and math focused) plus being heavily inspired in Common Lisp, which means the language can be easily extended for new purposes (and CLOS was a brilliant system that didn't get the attention it deserved in the mainstream).

Python is the AI language, and it's already more than large enough to survive many AI winters (plus "AI" is more powerful and useful every winter).

Sure. As long as there is something compelling (whether game play, storytelling, graphics, AI... whatever) about a given game, it can still be a lot of fun even when you know how it's made.
I don’t think humans are orders of magnitude apart.

The difference between the world’s smartest human and its dumbest human is tiny relative to the possible spectrum of intelligence.

Do you see the smartest chimps tricking or controlling humans?

If you wanted to trick a chimp to do something you wanted it to do, do you think it could stop you? And we’re probably a lot closer to chimp intelligence than an AGI would be to us.
Primark is a very cheap store - t-shirts for £2, trousers for £8 etc. It is fast fashion so stuff changes rapidly and frequently. If there is something on the catwalk at a fashion show that causes a lot of interest or someone famous wears something particularly noteworthy in a magazine photo, Primark will have something very similar to it in their stores within a week or two. Primark is hugely popular in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. Tourists at the central London stores (which are HUGE by the way - the size of a typical department store of years past) literally flock there.

The shopping experience is often chaotic (clothes strewn all over the place) and quality is generally not thought to be great - stuff might last only a few washes ... but it varies - I have a generic blue hoodie from Primark that cost less than £10 but it has lasted literally years and has some high quality features like the ends of the draw strings are finished in metal (not plastic and not just tied) so have not frayed or come apart. I don't think their quality is any worse than other high street retailers though - often they charge 3x 4x or more prices for equivalent quality.

I will certainly be using this guide in the future to pick the finest Primark has to offer!

Our work is pretty intense so we offer 3 weeks 'on' 1 week 'off' as standard + 23 days of paid leave / year for salaried employees. Sick days are dependent on local conditions but in practice we have yet to encounter anything where this would matter, at a larger scale this will no doubt become more of an issue but it is an insurable risk for us so we will simply do whatever the law says we should do for a particular location and insure against the rest.

Most remote working colleagues have chosen to be freelancers though we do offer the option for them to become salaried employees. This is not always in the interest of the person so we do caution them against this, and for one person where putting them on the payroll from NL would be hard a local subsidiary was created which employs them.

Remote workers definitely add a layer of complexity with respect to employment law. But I've found that it is well worth it given the quality and diversity of the people we encounter.

Admitting I'm wrong or that I screwed up ... You would not believe how much smoother everything at work is when you learn to recognize early the signs that you're holding on to a bad opinion, or that you're headed towards a fuckup, and just saying it out loud.

Avoiding judgement of those that have screwed up or have done something wrong, and simply working with them to correct it goes hand-in-hand with this. By the time someone admits they did something wrong, they already know what they did - by dwelling on that you're just wasting time and energy.

I wonder occasionally how many problems there are in the world that have become much bigger than they needed to be simply because the person who messed up knows the news won't be received well, so they keep their screw up hidden. Similarly, I wonder how effectively we teach children this kind of dishonesty by teaching them that honesty results in punishment.
I built a device driver for the BBC micro for one of the earliest 2D graphics accelerators. Computer graphics and acceleration are super interesting sub-fields.

I used that exact card to do real time rendering of simulated toolpaths for a 3D mill. That was mind-blowing at the time, to have an array of voxels large enough that you could do something meaningful with it and to be able to display the results as it was running.

I agree that he shouldn’t be denied representation, regardless of what the scenario looks like.
Box 1: A large western democracy with a free press, who has possessed nuclear weapons since their invention 75 years ago. Has been fully capable of destroying the world all that time... and hasn't. Wants to upgrade existing weapons.

Box 2: A small theocratic dictatorship, ruled by a Supreme Leader for life, who has been at constant war with its neighbors for pretty much all of modern history and still openly calls for the obliteration of some of them. It's a place where people are executed for adultery and homosexuality, and until recently the preferred method was stoning. After losing a half-million people in human wave attacks during its last big war, the country's Supreme Leader wants a bigger badder boom.

If these two things are the same in your mind, you are so far outside the bounds of rational thought that I'll just have to assume you're trolling.

>I know a lot of people that would not own a cat that isn't declawed. I wonder what the net outcome is on cats being euthanized, I'm sure this will increase that number.

I had a girlfriend who wanted a cat but wanted to declaw the front claws, leaving the rear for defense if it ever got outside (I don't have a cat - this was her decision). The shelter explicitly forbade this, including a scary-looking legal contract promising not to declaw a cat, so she didn't adopt it in the end.

It's very likely the cat is now dead due to this policy since no one adopted it. I'm not sure that this outcome is more humane.
This might sound strange but I wish I learned how to be more assertive and less apologetic/yielding.

When I was in a 50/50 debate/discussions, in many cases I leaned towards myself being wrong and the other being right automatically...and later would feel discontent with everyone when I turned out I was right and should have pushed harder. But I guess dont know how to be assertive without being offensive or overly brazen about my frustration.

No. Lawyers get about half. That's a lot, but class members each getting a pittance isn't much different from getting twice a pittance. Substantial payments to everyone in a class would wipe out the defendant.
Personally, I like to find what people are interested in, and let them talk about that. I tend to learn things that I didn't know before, which is always interesting. For example, yesterday I was sitting by a guy who started talking about watching the British Open. I don't care about golf. At all. Never played, never even watched it on TV. But through chatting with him, I learned that it's technically just 'The Open' (and then we Americans started calling it 'British' to differentiate it from our newer version), that bunkers there tend to be much deeper than in the US (since they're by the ocean, and the strong winds would blow sand out of shallow ones), and a few other things. I found it interesting, even if it's not knowledge I'm likely to use, because he was interested in it.

If you try and peel back a layer of what you think is most important, but they don't care about it at all, you won't find anything worth hearing. There's nothing there, because they've probably never bothered to think about it. So find something that they have bothered to think about, and learn what you can about that.

You do have to avoid judging others, though. If you decide someone's interest has no worth, then it's going to be a boring conversation. It takes either empathy, so you can see the world through other's eyes and understand why they're interested in it, or just having a view that any learning is worthwhile.

That doesn't matter though. The point of plussing is about how you word your criticism so people don't feel the need to be defensive or antagonistic.

If there's a problem that can't be solved for a while there's world of difference between saying "Your code is wrong. This is a problem we can't solve for weeks." and "You've made a great start and this code is going to be really useful as a foundation to build on, but there's a new challenge we didn't foresee so we'll need to make a couple of changes when we have more data."

I've never met a technical problem that couldn't be solved better with good people skills. Knowing how to get good work from people is key for any tech business.
Backpropagation in Neural Networks
Forgive me if I’m missing something obvious, but who is financing this? Google?

DfID have ruled out funding, and it’s unlikely St H will get any further EU regional funding.

So - either they’re going to be taking an almighty loan, or rely on the kindness of corporations.

I can’t see St H becoming a tech hub. It’s a lovely place, sure, but they’d need immigration of people with technical skills for that - I can count on one hand the number of saints with computer literacy, and they don’t want/can’t support any kind of immigrant population. Apart from anything else, all houses are occupied, and there’s precious little land upon which to build in Jamestown, and the saints do not want high rises and all the rest. No, I don’t speak for them, but I have spoken with them, and it’s pretty clear which way the wind blows.

I hope they do get a better connection to the world, but I fear practicality will get in the way. If they do plough ahead and assume the debt (I am assuming that there will be a debt to google), then the rumblings in Whitehall of making crown dependencies responsible for their own budgets might get louder. Their airport (which is perfectly fine, by the by, stunning approach) continues to attract flack as an ill conceived and expensive boondoggle.
Just 60 words plus a huge context shared with the reader through living a human life (so not a lot of hope of feeding this into an algorithm and having it do anything resembling understanding).

Start respecting the fact that intellectual development & progress is only one axis on the map that is the human experience.

One can find interest, happiness and satisfaction by pursuing passions where scientific knowledge may only be of slight advantage instead of the absolute focus.

Being a Musicians, touching the emotions of a whole crowd in a live performance is such a passion. Deeply complex, hugely important, some would say powerful, but science will only be a minor help if at all.

If you find other people boring ask yourself why you are too boring to see the ways they aren't.

Sure there are people that are ignorant, one-dimensional etc. but speaking from anecdote, i've yet to meet someone that didn't atleast had one experience that was interesting to listen too.

Life is too complex to disregard people that easily.
Even a passport isn't necessarily enough anymore:

"A US-born Marine veteran who served in Afghanistan had his US passport, a REAL ID driver’s license, a military ID card, and his US Marine Corps dog tags with him when he was arrested by police in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which held him for three days before his lawyer demanded his release, according to the ACLU of Michigan."

An extraordinarily provocative and informative presentation. Attribute leakage from facial images alone are remarkable.

Though I disagree vehemently with Kosinski's conclusion. Privacy isn't killed by technology, but rather, privacy is an emergent response to invasions of personal expectations and norms on information sharing caused by information technology advances. Warren and Brandeis's "The Right to Privacy" was a direct response to the invasions made possible by the first generation of analogue recording and replication, transmission, and reproduction technology: photophraphy, telegraphy, and rotary web presses.

https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~shmat/courses/cs5436/warren-bran...

Privacy is the ability todefine, communicate, and enforce limitations on the spread of personal information -- and the inferences based on it. Kosinski's talk was interesting, but he completely lost me at the point of portraying China's social credit scoring system as a good thing and empowering to the individual. It is anything but either.

In reality, it explicitly discriminates against already oppressed ethnic minorities and bars millions from air and rail travel:

„Lederhose“ is correct in German. „Lederhosen“ is just the plural.

If using the word in English texts “lederhosen” is in a sense correct, though, also when only referring to a single one. This is a case where the loan word was slightly adopted, no doubt to bring it more into line with the convention in the English language of using plural for trousers.

That convention doesn’t exist in German, except when using English loan words („Jeans“, „Shorts“, „Boxershorts“).

It sounds like you're agreeing with me that criticism is important. I never advocated for poorly communicating that criticism, even though that seems to be what you're implying.

To repeat the point of the comment you replied to, it can be much more effective to first work on identifying exactly what the problem is, and if you always expect you can immediately identify solutions it'll hamper your ability to address tough problems.

I agree with the spirit of your comment (CC makes sense for SVGs), but I also don't think it's quite as simple as content vs. code. there are many icon sets that are distributed as font binaries, for example, which are software; in which case the OFL (SIL open font license -- https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id...) might make more sense.

Edwin Brady on Chez Scheme
From https://youtu.be/DRq2NgeFcO0 at the 25:22 mark:

As things stand, the executable it generates is in Scheme.

This is running via Chez Scheme.

Chez Scheme is something that's been developed over
decades at Cisco, recently open sourced.

And I thought, ok that will be a good stop gap.
It turns out that Chez Scheme is astonishingly fast.
So even from source, the Chez Scheme generated version
for the small set of benchmarks I've tried has run
faster than the Idris 1 which goes via C.

So I guess spending 30 years of knowing what you're
doing is quite good if you're writing a runtime system.
