If your private definition of intelligence excludes everything machines have already been made to do, I suspect it is indeed pointless to discuss machine intelligence with you.

Personally, I'm not hung up on whether or not submarines can swim. If you are, please give me your clear definition of intelligence and explain how Go and chess and "any other game" are excluded by it.
It has one for me.
The caller of allocatebufs will probably expect that allocatebufs returns num * 64 bytes, but due to overflow it could return fewer. Thus, it could end up reading or writing out of bounds.
Matched filters are indeed necessary to get the most sensitivity. However, in addition to the matched filter searches, LIGO performs "waveform agnostic" searches that will find a signal regardless of its waveform. However, these searches are necessarily less sensitive than the matched-filter searches. No unmodeled events have yet been detected.
Please fix China and India first.
Then we can talk.

I'm sure many people interpreted it that way, but they're also wrong, and they evidently didn't write either the Constitution or the Militia Act, or 2A. And I guess when I refer to intent, I mean those authors.

Militias were explicitly under the control of both Congress and the president, by law and the Constitution. And militias were used to quell rebellion, not to serve it. These are facts. I understand they're counter to your and others' interpretations, but that doesn't make them any less factual.

And when you consider:

- 2A only applied to militias

- Any "security from tyranny" was States being free from Federal tyranny

- the Civil War erased any doubt about the States rebelling against the Federal government

- The last Militia Act in 1909 made militias into the _National_ Guard

then you have to concede 2A is just a relic from a time when the US had neither the resources nor the political will to create and maintain a standing army.
I think the suggestions is that toddlers know the word "chew" but not the word "masticate". Is this hard to believe?
> The same signal in multiple detectors rules out detector errors

Only if the cross correlation frequency is higher than the autocorrelation frequency. In other words, how often do signals with signature X appear, in each detector? If it's frequent then the likelihood of a by chance cross correlation is higher.

Agreed. I have taught at 3 different colleges and have never experienced this. The closest I have came is when Cengage wanted us to use their online platform and they bought us Panera. We went with OER.

I refuse to use any of the drmed proprietary online platforms. As someone else asked, yes, the textbook publishers do frequently provide quiz banks and powerpoints but they typically are garbage. I use few of their quiz questions and have to edit and adjust their PowerPoint slides because they don't emphasize what I want to emphasize and often use shitty transitions or have too much text on each slide. If that is a bribe it is a shitty one.
DNA is only one of the formats to convey the information.
there somewhat more to the picture than the sequence of base pairs in a region of DNA.
analogy- we have so far decyphered binary code and declared that we may now inject bytes into the data structure.
we actually know very little about how the DNA sequence and structural topology interacts with the rest of biology.
not only do we have the genome, but we have the transcriptome, the proteome, and the exocyteome.

those are just the information systems that have been recognized and characterized in part. Virus may actually be a selected form of horizontal gene transfer that has escaped the selective factors constraining it and now has a destiny of its own.

In short we need to actually know what we are doing before we tinker with our own information systems.

Yes, but you have a handful of devices unlike android where you have hundreds or even thousands.
This is part of my research as a graduate student at UCLA Vision Lab. The SLAM system is Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) based, has features (landmarks) in the state, and jointly estimates the pose of the camera and the location of the landmarks. It runs at 140 Hz on a PC and is much faster than (some if not all) existing open-source VIO systems.

Wait. Wasn't it Porsche that started all this with the Cayenne SUV? Porsche has always been near the bottom of the pedigree e.g., compared with Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren, etc., but still they are considered supercar-ish status.

It's a slippery slope. Now the Italians with SUVs manufactured from Maserati and Lambo and soon Ferrari(purosangue)!

Nothing is sacred.
Figure 7 depicts the movement of the Tesla and the two lead vehicles in the last 15 seconds before the crash. In the left panel—covering 15 to 8 seconds before impact—the Tesla is accelerating from 9 to 18 mph while following a lead vehicle (red car) at 30 to 46 feet.In the middle panel—covering 7 to 4 seconds before impact—the Tesla is traveling at a constant 21 mph while following a lead vehicle (green car) at a distance decreasing from 148 to 108 feet. In the right panel—covering the last 3 seconds before impact—the Tesla is accelerating from 21 to 31mph, with no lead vehicle and a forward collision warning half a second before impact.

...

About 0.49 second (490 milliseconds) before the crash, the system detected a stationary object in the Tesla’s path. The forward collision warning activated, displaying a visual warning and sounding an auditory warning to the driver. By the moment of impact, the Tesla had accelerated to a speed of 30.9 mph.

...

AEB did not activate during the event, and data show
no driver-applied braking or steering before the
crash. Tesla’s AEB is a radar/camera fusion system that is designed for front-to-rear collision mitigation or avoidance. According to the company, the system requires
agreement from both the radar and the camera to initiate
AEB; complex or unusual vehicle shapes can delay or prevent the system from classifying vehicles as targets or threats. [1]

Notice the last line. The system still has to recognize an obstacle as being visually car-like before braking to avoid hitting it. If it's not recognized as a vehicle, the car will not stop.

This was in January 2018, but it was a 2014 vehicle, which would mean the old Mobileye vision based collision system, right? We know Mobileye works that way, trying to draw boxes around car rear ends, because people have bought them and made videos showing what they see. Did that get fixed? Can it be fixed with a vision-based system? This is the big weakness of a no-LIDAR system.

Here, the driver had 3 seconds to react, because the car ahead turned out of the lane to evade the fire truck well before reaching it. Compare this 2017 video of a Tesla hitting a construction barrier. The car ahead didn't turn until just before the barrier, only giving the driver under 1 second to react.[2] Same failure to detect a lane obstruction, but not enough time for the driver to do anything about it.

I think this is referring to the figure on the cover of the issue of Science in which the detection was first reported.

I think you will find that any ambiguities are resolved in one of the thirteen peer-reviewed publications on the detection available here:

Agreed. Web development seems more approachable and I think MySpace has a lot to do with that. Allowing users to post html and css on their profile was probably the best feature! I think it also made programming relatable to a lot of people who wouldn’t have tried it otherwise.
If I say I'm talking to someone like they're a toddler the point of that is I'm speaking differently than I would to an adult. Using the word "chew" would not be something I'd avoid if talking to an adult.

For example, "hi, how are you?" Is something you could say to an adult or a child. It's not "speaking to someone like they are a child" though.

Does that make sense?
Mostly what you have to say there is that I'm flippant and disrespectful because I was being flippant and disrespectful.

The only explanation there is that I'm talking about "issues involve people who have been and continue to be disadvantaged"

Those rich folks have been "disadvantaged" by being deprived of things they have claims on. Obviously they are already quite advantaged, but you can't deny they have less advantage without the things they're claiming.

So, it only matters that one group has fewer resources therefore they have a moral advantage?

I think you are being flippant and disrespectful by calling me names instead of providing substantial counterpoints.

That's not true. Spectre works due to speculative execution leaking memory data through a side channel exposed by hyperthreading. That memory can be in use by any of the threads, not just the ones on sibling threads.
Slack is great at managing "read/unread" state across my 4 devices even in messy mobile networking situations. Good threading tools allow conversations to remain sandboxed and not gum up entire channels. Do these improvements justify the valuation? Maybe not, especially given how many other comms apps have a similar feature set. But for the vast majority of realtime modern workplace communication use-cases, IRC or a bulletin board will not cut it

Yes, well, so the way it is in banking if you don´t have a competent security team, you won´t be in business for very long. And banks in general, everywhere and anywhere, have been in the business of security for a very long time indeed.

I´m sure American banks have very competent teams. So do the Europeans. Behind the scenes they all also tend to collaborate quite a lot in this area at least.
My point was that I and most others would use the word "chew" when talking to adults in general conversation, it's not a childish word.
He’s not actually one of these people so much as he pretends to be, but I agree he is dangerous.

For me it’s mostly the way that he openly lies, even about recorded things he’s previously said, is disturbing and that he takes the already toxic political rhetoric of the last decade to the next level.
Occasionally when staying in a hotel, I flip through the shows available on the cable TV there. With a 3-year-old, that now means flipping through the kids shows.

Unfortunately, these are now unbelievably vapid and pointless, even on PBS. It’s not quite clear what happened. The comparison to early Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood, Newton’s Apple, Long Ago and Far Away, Reading Rainbow, Bill Nye the Science Guy, etc. is stark. I’m not convinced most of the current shows are any better than watching an endless stream of poorly produced nursery rhymes on youtube.

I wouldn’t let young children spend nontrivial amounts of time watching “Kids’ TV” in 2019.

> The physical act of turning a wheel isn't the hard part of driving. Paying attention is.

As an avid user of Tesla Autopilot I'll disagree with this. On a long road trip, monitoring my surroundings and making sure everything is generally ok is far less fatiguing than making constant microadjustments to steering, speed and following distance.

Even while paying close attention to the ride, long trips (especially in stop-and-go traffic) become significantly less stressful and exhausting.
It would ship with compatible Apple headphones, and I could buy an adapter. If it saves space for Face ID or something, that’d be a good trade-off for my personal taste
Video is highly engaging, and moving images are very useful. I wanted to include videos in an electronic book, but it turned out that auto-playing videos are too interesting and they ruin the flow. Instead, I ended up playing the videos frame by frame according to scroll position. The effect is pretty neat: https://goeiebook.ca/story/bussing/

They probably sell hijabs in the airport so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

However, here in the United States the TSA and cops have shown that they have no problem enforcing the laws against passengers who became criminals due circumstances outside their control.

There was an interesting case where a guy was on a flight from Utah to Pennsylvania with a gun. He was transporting it exactly the way you're supposed to when flying (declared at check-in, unloaded in a locked container, non-TSA approved locks) when his flight got diverted to New Jersey. Due to an airline mixup, he had to get his luggage and re-check it before getting on a later flight to his final destination. However by taking possession of his suitcase without applying for a New Jersey gun license he was committing a felony. After he went to check his bag and declared that it contained a firearm, the TSA called the port authority and he got arrested. Normally when people in NY/NJ get arrested for trying to check a firearm at the airport they take a plea deal but this guy ended up spending some time in jail (although the prosecutor let the case go after four months).
It seems the main way marijuana ruins lives is by being illegal to have.
> It is hard to come up with a consistent moral and legal philosophy to deal with these kinds of things.

It is impossible, because you quickly run into contrafactual history.

Let's say the descendants of Scandinavian vikings owe repairs to descendants of people living in Normandy, because the vikings raped and pillaged.

Except, they also settled. And became Normans. And invaded England. Changed the English language forever, changed the ruling class of England. Changed the history of Europe forever. Maybe the Norman conquest was ultimately a good thing for England? Maybe the Anglo-Saxons would have been wiped out by some other conqueror if the Normans hadn't come?

There are millions of people who live today because history happened the way it happened. If the vikings hadn't raped and pillaged and settled in Normandy, those millions of people would never have been born. So do they owe money to the descendants of the vikings as thanks for their existence?
I hear you! I have vehicles with mostly touchscreen (maserati) and mostly tactile (bmw).

In my view touchscreens SUCK for automotive use.

But don't take my word for it. Read up on Mazda's pivot back to tactile and the research to back it. Good move!

> Isn't this what capitalism is all about? If they can't do the job then somebody else will come up on it's place.

No, because the remaining corporations will be the monopoly and the government will have enshrined them by prosecuting the competitor which is the opposite result of what the government aims to do.

yes capitalism is described this way and the tendency towards monopoly is why we don't do what capitalism describes. the government helps avoid monopoly so simply won't take a hand in creating it even if it means letting a competitor get away with murder

Adaptive cruise control and lane assist, available in every modern car under the sun will make microadjustments to steering, speed, and following distance all day long.

It's easy to train yourself to do that though. Just find your favorite audiobook and listen to it daily. First listen to it at 1.5x, then adjust to 2x after a few days, then 2.5x after a few more days etc. You'd be surprised how fast your brain can actually process the information.

Personally when I did this I feel irritated when I speak because my sped-up audiobooks have conditioned me into thinking I should be speaking at that rate, but it's just not possible for my mouth and tongue to move that fast physically.
i really wanted to use Firefox, so I switched recently. It lasted about 3 hours. Every time I tried to Google something I got a warning that Google was a dangerous site because of their self-signed certificate (seriously? Google should be on the list of trusted certificate signers, no matter what you think of their business model).

Then it asked if I wanted to trust them. I answered yes, repeatedly, yet the error message reappeared over and over again. (really bad). I gave up.

A little more competence and I'm on board.
I presume it makes it harder to waterproof the phone with multiple ports. Having only one port, either lightning or USB-C, would hopefully lead to a better phone design. And if we’re trying to add Face ID, I assume the headphone jack is wasted space. I can buy an adapter or use the compatible Apple headphones that would be included.

But honestly, I’m done with Apple. I collect old iPhones and use them until they give out. I will not buy another flagship but am really interested in Purism’s phone. Currently have an SE, 5S, 2 5Cs, and a 6. I use them for various purposes and eventually will recycle when they die

The burden of proof should be on the side trying to restrict the rights (the judge), not the person exercising their rights. It seems like it was a judgement call over free speech.

Depriving someone of their rights while waiting for due process is not due process.

It's loud when it's close but as soon as it's a few hundred feet away you can barely hear it.

If you're in an open area. And if there is only one drone.

A couple of years ago I was in a serene canyon in Utah enjoying the peace and watching nature when three drones decided to scare away the bighorn sheep.

People don't hate drones because they hate drones. That's why many seem to like the idea of Amazon/UPS drone deliveries. They hate drones because of what the drone pilots do with them.
It certainly has been done, and on small drones too.
How does that make those who believe it nowadays racist?
That's interesting. If you're talking about Hello Internet, I enjoy listening to them at 1x. I find it quite relaxing to listen to passively.
That would be dangerous: it would be much easier to mine haveibeenpwned by enumerating phone numbers and see what sites have been hacked with a certain number. You would then know exactly which sites to target with which phone number, and that's already eliminating a lot of work. Get a password dataset or two in the darknet and you can now hack into many accounts.
Actually, you’re saying precisely the same thing I was. When I say “user experience,” I am talking about the ads being gone. No ads = better user experience.
