I am dumbfounded at how many people are missing his point.

- When airplanes came out, their first application was military.

- When networks and computers came out, their first application was military.

- When satellites were first developed, their first
application was military.

A.I. has a lot of uses, but it is another new technology, a whole new field of computer science that is rapidly evolving and has clear, identifiable military applications. And its early stage of development means that each breakthrough can pose a strategic military advantage.

This is true whether you agree with his point about the morality of Google partnering with China.
It's usually not a case of "absorb the information asynchronously," instead, it's being upfront with ignoring rants.
China does not care what you want, and neither does the market economy. They want you to be what they need.

There are two ways to sort it out: teach people how to learn first, and teach them how a (small) variety of professions that are in demand work.

Only then, specialization. Current Chinese model is to identify talents early then force specialize and reject people even at advanced stages, leaving them with nothing.
Western model used to be more general even a century back, but is going now more the same way.

People are passed without working knowledge of estimation and arithmetics even, have no idea about basic politics and more.

Thats true in many cases! For our malware work and research, we've gotten a lot of consistent push-back that n-grams needed to be larger. A lot of older work (with much smaller datasets) said 15-20 grams were best, but that couldn't be tested again with a modern large corpus. A common source of that intuition was that x86 assembly is variable length, and a single instruction could be up to 15 bytes long.

The primary point of our paper is that now we can circle back and really test all these hypothesis about larger n-grams for malware! And even if you only want smaller 6-grams, we get a nice big speedup too :)
Thanks!

Yup- we've actually been monetizing it for about two years now. Our customers pay us for 1) significant API usage and 2) commercial rights to the data. The visualizer is really more of a way to get people excited and get their feet wet in the data.

When I was in high school, the county's highest paid teacher (on account of the credentials) worked there. She taught typing. TYPING! And she wasn't even very good at it! I don't think a single student really respected her.

I was friendly with the school's IT guys. One of them told me the story of her mouse "breaking", and him going to fix it. Somebody had just put some scotch tape over the sensor. He silently removed it, told her it was fixed, and went back to his office for a good laugh.

The AI/self-study type platforms could possibly solve this problem since it would allow the learner to progress at their own pace. I agree that "deeper level study" is huge part of getting the bigger picture.

One reason this execution even got noticed is that modern nations (even "scared of the Mark of The Beast" USA) tracks citizens pretty closely. Tracking citizens closely didn't really get tight until say the 1950s. How many such executions took place without anyone outside of the small towns noticing?

Having long-lasting bullies/warlords like this is possibly a by-product of efficient tracking and law enforcement. What other knock-on effects have these things had? As another example, I have a friend whose grandmother was Jewish, lived in Chicago. She fell in love with the Polish butcher. They left Chicago, a couple of months later, they turned up in Denver, married, and she was officially Catholic. How many people left old identities behind, and became something else? This is clearly a safety valve, as well as a way for criminals to escape consequences. What did we loose by eliminating the safety valve in order to catch a very few more criminals?
yes, I realised my mistake of not seeing the For individuals tab... 89 USD is a little more palatable.

The thing I do not agree is that you have to pay for tools in order to be a professional. That is quite elitist. People make careers out of free platforms like Linux so for an IDE is not asking much to have a good tool for free. The community benefits from labor put into developing a free tool.

But the paying it forward stops now? Yes, your choice.
The magnum opus of Jim Williams known as "App Note 47" has a cartoon at the end, and possibly a few more in the middle. As well as a copy of "Murphy's Law".

The cartoons in schematics are very much a product of their time - they were hand-drawn by skilled draftsmen who enjoyed drawing. I suspect most of them had a spare pad of doodles next to their work table.
When I wanted to gain weight from lifting I had to set alarms on when to eat. I was never hungry. The gallon of milk each day is a good one. I kept peanut butter at my desk and would eat it whenever my alarm went off. I would eat an early dinner, and then eat again right before bed. It is work if you're not used to eating that much.

I can relate to this. I definitely eat when I'm bored or annoyed.

I've found it useful to distinguish between "mouth hunger" and "stomach hunger". When I'm actually hungry, I feel sensations in my stomach, and will often burp or feel like I'm about to reflux.

The "mouth hunger" is when I think of a croissant and start salivating, even though I wasn't hungry a moment ago. Or that store checkout-line "hunger" when you see all the tempting treats they've put there. So, not hunger at all, but craving.
Counterpoint:

Google's actual smartphone line (Pixel) ships with passive song recognition, default disabled. I enabled it because I was curious and it sips so little power that I left it on, but to function it has to be listening to the audio all the time so that it can say to itself "Hey, that is Sabotage by the Beastie Boys".

It doesn't use the network, or the screen (unless you power the screen on to find out what you're listening to) but it passively remembers every recognisable song it heard, essentially forever. So that means it is _listening_ it just doesn't tell anybody about it.

Back in the 1990s, their hardware design was simple enough that any mass surveillance would inevitably get exposed when the odd hacker took his device apart.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/curtis-autery-5a094a14b/

Email: ceautery@gmail.com

I'm looking to work with a progressive organization, in a role that has mentoring and community outreach baked into it.

I've been a software writer since 2003, in companies ranging from an enterprise with 17,000 employees, to a small consultancy with only 14, spanning a variety of platforms and programming languages. The heads-down keyboard banging part of the job, while enjoyable, is less interesting to me than opportunities to mentor younger developers, and supporting devs and future devs in my local community.

I've run coding clubs at middle schools [1], taught for Girls Who Code, and have brought students into the office to code for school projects. I've spoken at local tech user groups [2], and organized the first meetup of the Columbus freeCodeCamp chapter. I spearheaded a tech "lunch & learn" program at my current company, and can occasionally be coaxed into writing deep-dives on arcane topics for the company blog [3].

I also enjoy volunteering for non-tech community projects, such as house construction with Habitat for Humanity, mentoring at-risk teens [4], and helping put together Thanksgiving dinner baskets donated to some of the lower-income families that attend school with my daughters.

My ideal place to work would be one that didn't find any of that unusual, and would support me in supporting the community.

People only get the EdD because it's required to be a superintendent in most places. I'm scraping by on a part time higher ed gig, and it's just depressing how the full time staff just see degrees as an obstacle to getting a raise not a path to growth and learning. The average American already thinks higher ed is a scam. At least the people who work in it could try to believe in their own product, but even they don't.

Yes true hunger feels different. You also aim at different things, less about taste but more about actual nutrients. Even as a kid I never drank 2L of sodas when I was deep into soccer or running. It was straight to water.
> not really reach a solid and stable conclusion. Because it will change depending on your state.

I can clearly see with myself how my mood affects my train of thought. And how my mood comes from the state of my body. I think I can stay grounded pretty well even when my mind is in terrible physical condition and goes to the darkest places as a result of that. I can somewhat filter out the influence of mood on my thinking.

> On the other hand we have no idea what lies on the other side - nothing or something that may be better or worse.

We can be pretty sure that there's no other side. All of neuroscience, medicine, biology and what we know about neural networks point to it being that way. The only thing that points to there being some other side is uneducated* people's fantasies and wishful thinking.

If that doesn't sound so bad to you, I suggest you haven't thought it through enough. We've been there, in the past. It was worse then.
I was dx the same 5 years ago. After two years of treatments and surgery with what I thought was the best team in the country (UCSF) they decided that my liver mets were positioned such that surgery would be impossible. But my wife found a team at Sloan-Kettering in Manhattan that specialized in just this case. They resected 70% of my liver and followed up with one round of radiation - I’m now two years NED.

Good points, I should be more descriptive. Jellyfin and co are media centers, they provide the ability to stream media from a hard drive with a nice user interface.

This is for someone who wants to run their media server w/ a lot of users, or someone who wants to be able to run a single server and not have to deal with transcoding to different formats. As of right now, it's not "better" than these others since the frontend isn't finished, but when it's done it'll be better in two main ways; able to scale the frontend, able to reduce global latency by using s3 bucket(s), able to have a full e2e approach to media importing (everything is the same format, same subtitles, same layout by default) usually that has to be done manually by whomever operates a server. It's using k8s so that individual microservices can be scaled using the autoscaler microservice. This allows users to use premptible/spot machine types in their workloads and only pay when they are using them, which makes converting cheap.

High load is users watching a lot of media, to get S3 to work w/ any alternatives you have to run gcsfuse which is expensive to use and a bottleneck when even two people watch different shows. Normly you'd run two or more instances then to load balance, well, with all of these they use sqlite so there is no load balancing capabilities.

Runtime costs are important to anyone who has tried to run a single Plex server in the cloud and had to pay a lot of money to be able to have fast, real-time, on demand transcoding so a user could watch a movie/tv show. Ideally you want to pre encoded all of those, that was the original goal of this project, support that. Now it's turned into a full e2e approach to remove dependency on those media centers that aren't cloud first.

I hope that explains it better, it's a little niche, but for anyone handling a lot of users I think it's useful, either way for me it's useful.
Wow, that's almost incomprehensibly different from my own experience. I do like two push ups and notice myself bulking up. But it's so hard to not eat when I'm bored/have cravings. There's a whole suite of self-delusional and deceptive behaviour around eating, for me.
Or we could get free space and experiment on large scale of scarcity is eliminated or vastly reduced. AI won't provide it, of course, we need other technologies.

Calling it mental illness is just making normal human behavior a pathology. Almost everybody believes in a widespread conspiracy of some kind, every tribe has their boogeyman. So if there’s any mental illness involved it’s not the belief itself, it’s the willingness to isolate oneself socially and other social factors. But with the internet even the wackiest conspiracies such as flat-earth don’t lead to social isolation.
No. My employer upgraded from PHP 5.4 to 7.0 with minimal fuss (we spent about a week on the migration, testing, and deployment, and it went smoothly), and 7.0 to 7.3 is trivial in comparison.

There are a few edge cases out there of course. Maybe your code base has basically been in stasis since the early days of PHP 5.x, may not even be using composer or namespaces, relies on tons of abandoned or horribly outdated dependencies, doesn't have good test coverage, etc., and then suddenly someone gets a bee in their bonnet about PHP 7.x and wants to upgrade. That's often not going to work out very well, but that's not really a PHP 7.x (or even a PHP thing). :) If you've been maintaining the code, have tests, no ancient vulnerable libraries, using current framework versions, etc, the process is going to be easy. If you're trying a big bang upgrade straight from the medieval period, not so much!
In a lot of cases, it falls under similar reasons to why the US brought thousands of German scientists during and after WW2 via Operation Paperclip [1] and others, to work in places such as NASA. It becomes a matter of compartmentalizing secrets, understanding the individual's drivers, considering the levels of risks and potential ways to mitigate it, etc.

Well said. It's incredibly healthy for friends to know each others standpoints beyond nonsense press conferences and public statements mainly intended for domestic audiences. Even better to understand our "enemies" in the most peaceful period in human history.

We all spy, it's not some evil to be purged.

I do draw the line at corporate stuff though, if only the world treated industrial espionage as highly as cheating in the Olympics. Sadly we all do that too, with varying degrees of effectiveness, some are brash about it, some will go to great lengths pretending they don't do it. Not sure what's worse.

I would consider that a mostly-accurate summary.

However, where you appear to believe that's logically fallacious, I'm saying, it's actually mathematically rigorous, and a valid and underused mode of thought.

If you find yourself nervous because of the metaheuristic "any mode of thought that makes 'conspiracy theories' seem more likely is suspicious", I endorse that metaheuristic. For the most part, this sort of thinking tends to slice through crazy conspiracy theories, not endorse them. One of the major characteristics of a lot of crazy conspiracy theories is an ability to explain/explain away anything, and this mode of thought will help you recognize that and slice it away.

The reason why it's slicing the other way here in this particular instance is that we are getting fairly unambiguous positive evidence that is at least in the direction of Pizzagate. This is unusual; unambiguous positive evidence in favor of a "conspiracy theory" does not happen very often, so we should expect to have unusual reactions to it. As I've said above, it doesn't mean that therefore the rational thing to do is to accept it entirely. But it does mean the rational response is to raise its probability in your mind a bit, along with other hypotheses the evidence is compatible with (like my "it's bigger than these two things but not Pizzagate-scale" example above).

We can also bear in mind that we are not obligated to come to the decision today. If Pizzagate is true, and if the Q line is true, then we are going to get more evidence in the future. If it is false, then this will (based on past history of such things) fizzle and die. We can use those predictions and watch the world to see what happens. (And, yes, those are very simplified; I can generate another half-a-dozen possibilities and their corresponding predictions easily.) In another year, hopefully we will be closer to the truth, whatever it may be, than we can be (let alone "are") today.

Oh yeah, I completely agree. An ideal education system needs to be something that is more open to everyone and able to teach people at different levels and for different purposes. Have courses for vocational skills and courses for more academic/theoretical type learning. The factory model of education is obsolete.
Agreed. There is some science around limiting insulin spikes that come with eating is where the benefit comes from. Check out Peter Attia's podcast sometime. He's an MD who reads a tons of research and does a lot of self experimentation (he wears a continuous glucose monitor and meticulously tracks metrics). He's also the first say something isn't conclusive, but based on what he has personally seen in his practice there may be some merit to an idea.
