> I also put a lot of this on the heads of IT directors or senior sysadmins, who are failing to convey the importance of the matter to those C-levels in terms they understand.

Why? Understanding the risks involved before making a decision is the responsibility of executives. If they calculate that the risks are minimal and crackers prove them wrong by causing damage to the tune of millions, they have only themselves to blame.

How many times have people explained the need for things to be done properly, only for proper infrastructure to be written off as too costly and unnecessary? The fact is they are taking a calculated risk: they get to spend less on information security by assuming nothing bad will happen. Claiming that it's the fault of system administrators is just yet another power move: scapegoating in order to avoid responsibility.

They make the decisions and should face the consequences.
I'm surprised there weren't backups they could've restored? If the difficulty was setting up the build environment correctly, then even a duplicate hard drive for each build server would've saved them from a pinch.

Very true. 2 years of CC + 2 years of public state school leaves you with little debt but the same degree as your peers.

This reminds me of that "alarming" picture[0] taken on a Philadelphia train used to scaremonger people about how everyone is addicted to the newspapers and how it degrades the fabric of society and thought by making everyone antisocial.[1]

Yes, there are many arguments that can be brought up about differences between newspapers and social media, etc., but I strongly feel like it is essentially the same kind of neo-ludditism that will play out the exact same way. Something new will come up after social media, and then people will jump on that as the next thing that "degrades the society". We can already see a micro-version of that, with people lamenting how "back in the old days, blog posts were long form and meaningful, not like those tweets and instagram posts".

Yeah Attic sounds interesting and relevant. In general we're a platform and vertical agnostics enablement solution that doesn't suck, and so it's possible we could help you integrate directly with the sellers of the antique furniture. founders@convictional.com and we can talk more offline.
Those are certainly important advances, but they don't really apply to most business needs for AI or ML.
I run a couple of mail servers and the beginnings are always a bit rough, but then everything works (mostly) fine. I start by asking Microsoft to unban my IP (for some reasons the IP range with my favorite hosting provider are banned by default by MS servers). They lift the ban and since I'm a good netizen and use my servers strictly for the communication with the customers (and never for marketing), I never have any problems with delivering to outlook.com, hotmail.com, etc.

Google is a different beast. Last time I remember I had to do strange things like disabling IPv6 support in my MTA (which is a good idea anyway as I'm not an expert in IPv6) in addition to the usual SPF setup etc. E-mail is delivered in general, but once in a while some letters go into spam for unknown reason. But this happens rarely, maybe a couple a times a year.

Whenever I set up a new server, I have to start from scratch though.
I think simply OI (Organic Intelligence) would the more appropriate term since it's no longer artificial ;)
Can't people just put in their email address, verify it by sending an email, and agree that that they're fine with that?

Its from a book, Code Blue: Inside Americas Medical Industrial Complex, by Mike Magee. The author is a Doctor and distinguished medical academic and past hospital executive.
You and the GP should have both stopped before saying "It's theft." It's not theft, not even close.

You gave them the video and they said they do not want the video -- for whatever reason. You don't have a right to upload content to YouTube. You do have a right to your property, your video and music you've created. They didn't take it from you. They aren't making money on it and not paying you. You don't have a right to force YouTube to display and distribute that content on their website.

Imagine if Columbia records was forced to distribute any and all music sent to it on a demo tape. Columbia saying, "No, we won't distribute this" is not theft.

Columbia would be within their rights to say, "Your music sounds too much like Taylor Swift to us. Sorry. It's too big of a risk for us to distribute it."

That's exactly what YouTube is doing. They are saying, your music is too much of a risk for us to distribute based on our algorithms.

You can still go to Vimeo or soundcloud or build your own website to distribute your music, just like the aforementioned artist that sounds too much like Taylor Swift could go to Arista or upload it to youtube or or soundcloud.
Can you cite that number? Even pulling numbers out of thin air for receptions, call center, it, hospitality, food, nursing, etc I find it hard to get thathigh.

Alternatively the creator could just reduce the screen height. Because I felt the same way. Difficulty also doesn't increase fast enough. I'm not sure why invaders cluster from the top center, but it makes it easy to pick off a few.
No, we are running Ansible Playbooks on the localhost. We store configurations in group_vars and have differnet environments vars which can override the global defaults ones (e.g. instnaces types) (when running the playbook one needs to provide the env, e.g. `-e env=dev`), we then give these varialbes to the CF stacks as parameters. We also use Ansible Vault to store sensitive information in Git, and push these to e.g. AWS SSM Parameter Store as encrypted SecureStrings to provide the software with secrets (we provide the apps with the name of the SSM parameter key)

EDIT: To clarify: the ansible-commands runs locally on your machine, or locally on the CI/CD agent - not on any remote machine/EC2 instance.
Running your own recursive resolver at home isn't the solution, because it reveals to eavesdroppers what DNS servers you're talking to and it reveals to DNS operators what your IP is.

Maybe it's the best current compromise, but it would be better to have a shared and trusted remote recursive resolver which many people talk to.
I wonder if AI would detect this as sarcasm or not.
Someone else in the thread is implying it’s closer to 190k. At any rate we are now into “hundreds of thousands”.
I use the ansible-runner docker container, add openvpn and run this container in Gitlab CI/CD.

It's not too hard to figure out how to do this, but probably there isn't much blogging about something like this.
> building up and altering the face of my property

Other people's property that happens to be near you is not your property.
I would argue that GAN's by definition aren't unsupervised, they just aren't supervised by humans. Additionally, OpenAI's game stuff also has similar arguments against it.
That was MTurk's slogan on launch.
Most people that do not work closely with computers aren't aware of how much smoke and mirrors is involved in the "real" implementations of this kind of technology. (And for that matter, a lot of people who do work with computers are in denial about it.)

I don't fault the creators at Zachtronics for taking a subtle approach to writing the game, but it's a bit of an uphill battle to raise public awareness of the limitations and outright fraud surrounding ML-based products.
He also had/has significant mental issues before the matter began.
>It was a circle of configuration hell I would wish on no one

>actually sending emails and not being labeled as SPAM is almost impossible

Anecdotal, but I really didn't have any issues with either of the above. Just don't use a tainted IP (protip: basically every cheap VPS provider's IP space is tainted) and set up SPF/DKIM properly. Following a tutorial is probably the way to go if you're not familiar with Postfix/Dovecot. And as you mentioned, once you have it up and running it's basically zero maintenance.

>making sure your service is literally ALWAYS available, is really quite tricky. It's pretty damn easy to miss some emails.

Mail standards actually make it really hard to miss emails. Every mail service will, by default, retry delivering mail for 4 days (!). This is the default in MTAs and the big boys (Gmail, etc) do the same. If you want to be more HA you can set up backup MXes but that's overkill for a personal server.
I work in the industry on NLP tasks. Unsupervised learning has been behind the largest developments in the last decade in the field.
In my opinion you sound like you're feeling attacked, Mr. Anonymous Made-an-account-to-make-this-comment.

We're arguing about degree here, and it's pointless. You say it's a low degree of chance. I say it's a low degree of chance.

Just like professional body based in-person sports, chance is an integral component to e-sports. Football, soccer, tennis are based partially on chance. That's how multiple houses agree, more or less, on the chance spread.
> For sea sickness some companies offer a wrist band with a pea sized piece of plastic on them to (supposedly) stimulate a nerve in your wrist.

They don't really work. Or rather, they never worked for me.

> I can see a situation where these devices could be sold for sea sickness purposes with little to no regulation.

I agree that they might not require much regulation, but I would appreciate some tests to ensure they are safe and establish some thresholds. Tinnitus sufferers in particular, would end up wearing this pretty much all day. Making your skull vibrate for 16 hours a day, even at low frequencies, sounds a bit dangerous.
That's exactly what I was thinking. This would make a great movie/book.
No one is saying that civil disobedience should be consequence-less. We’re arguing over the legality of the laws one would be breaking and whether they’re just.

You can define the terms how you want - but in terms of how they're understood in both industry and academia, you are incorrect.
> The US is nothing like a developing country.

The US is a big place. Not all of it is paradise. I've heard foreign exchange students from countries like Russia, placed in rural communities like Wyoming or Nebraska, describe the conditions back home as better than where they are placed in the US. I've read books describing the Chicago projects at the height of their badness and then visiting some of the poorest cities in Latin America and seeing parallels.

The US is rich, sure, but that wealth is very heavily concentrated along coastal and border states. Saying the US is "nothing" like a developing country would be a false statement as it doesn't take into account the sheer contrast of livelihoods that we have here.
The "soft gold" is sand:

> The reason they’re doing this has to do with the cargo the New Glory was carrying when it ran aground: plain, everyday sand.

> Chinese builders call it “soft gold.” Sand dredged from Yangtze River, which has the ideal consistency and composition for cement, helped fuel Shanghai’s construction boom in the 1980s and 1990s. By the turn of the millennium, reckless sand extraction had undermined bridges, trashed ecosystems, and caused long stretches of the riverbank to collapse. In 2000, Chinese authorities banned sand mining on the Yangtze completely.

Which is actually a non-renewable resource, and so for certain types, it can be quite valuable:

Wasn't aware of the Shopify thing. I'm currently venturing into the physical things, which is one of few things actually good at anyway. So maybe we can have a chat one day? I'm based in Germany, so probably no immediate synergies, but I could imagine that customers might be interested in a combined solution of your tech and an carrier-independant party running daily operations.
The "independent company" part doesn't work though. If Facebook comes up with anything useful, the US government walks in, grabs the data, then issues a gag order so nobody knows. It simply wouldn't matter that the government was officially restricted to "open AI".
Confirmed. I've used it
I can't accept the backdoors either. Clipper was a bad idea then and any iterations of it in the present are just as bad. Clearly that is not the most effective way to attack the child porn problem, Microsoft, for all its faults has done more to combat this than lots of other parties combined, including most nation states. Properly funding various services including the LE branches responsible for dealing with these crimes would be the way to go and that does not require any backdoors at all. The mountains of proof that are usually unearthed are strong enough for conviction, the bigger challenge is to roll up the networks but there are ways to combat that that do not require access to the payload.
Echo the other commentator. Unsupervised techniques are the only reason NLP works as well as it does.
Then it should be obvious, no? Is $1 million ok? That’s a small single family home in Palo Alto in disrepair.

So how about $5 mil? Nice larger lot home in Palo Alto that some dying parents bought in 1940. Not even retirement money in the bay but could be middle class retirement in Alaska.

Where is your “obvious” line? Your handshake/battery analogy is shitty because it involves a victim and medical/first responder reports.

We’re talking about setting some line where we feel as a society it’s morally ok to start taking money that has already been taxed strictly based on “that seems excessive” without any logical criteria.
Well i agree with you because more data is produced, but losing forensic evidence data, eye witness testimony data. That type of data won't get lost
This is actually extremely well known to most people building robots. Anybody who's ever met Peter Dilworth will have seen his slides talking about how all you need to make something artificial relatable is a set of articulated eyebrows and he's right. Expressiveness is a game changer. It's just that it's far from the most pressing issue right now.

The article mentions that we (robotics researchers) don't think about movement first but the fact of the matter is that those of us working on humanoids can't STOP thinking about movement and how hard of a problem it is to solve. The issue is that we don't have anywhere near the technology in either electric motors or hydraulic actuation that is required to solve the problem of smooth, high-fidelity, accurately-controlled motion that is also safe for human co-operation (which typically means torque control or some other scheme for feedback control over the impedance between the robot and the environment). Hydraulics are far too "stiff" and dangerous to be used in robots that work directly alongside humans, and electric motors can't hit the torque vs. velocity requirements for dynamic motions that allow the robots to be both safe and expressive and dynamic like a living organism.

But nobody is funding research in to actuation because it doesn't have short term payoff and it isn't sexy. So here we are.

I don't see any contradiction in what you are saying. Yes, they are rights and should be free.

They are not right now, but that's because we are operating in a world of a limited resources, but not because it is a right state of thing.
Interesting concept, but the models powering it need a lot of work. For example, searching "Apple" brings up "cider".
Well the $6k is gone at the end of the month but some portion of the $8k becomes equity.
That's kind of the point of it. Without tax rates over 100% of income or some structural change in the economy, you're never going to have net wealth redistribution from those with massive amounts of wealth to those without any.
Movies still come out on disc because they're good stocking stuffers for the holidays, and you can carve out a pretty good margin selling box sets of film anthologies.

Plus Blu-rays can be sold globally. What's available in one country's Netflix often doesn't line up with what's available in a different country. Plus, a good chunk of the US movie-watching population does not have reliable broadband access.
You miss the point of the slides. His point isn't about supervised vs unsupervised, it's about the general areas where AI seems to excel and fail. It's being used to predict social outcomes where it does very poorly, may be inscrutable, and is unaccountable to the public.

Your examples (deep learning applied to perception) are what he argues AI is generally good for.

It is weird that in Germany, you hit the highest bracket so quickly. It would be great if individuals were taxed like corps - pay after your expenses like rent etc. In this place there is nothing to save taxes on. Even if rent goes up, tax rate stays the same. Not counting the ridiculous system of Church tax which is just infuriating.
I agree with this. I don't think it's a software only problem, and we ran business units like this before we got into the software side. The operations side is harder (generally speaking) it's more that the enablement tech that exists isn't working for current sellers. That's partly on us to fix, and partly endemic to small sellers not having B2B sophistication. So solving the problem also requires solving the physical logistics problems and education gaps that exist. So far we're just focused on the software and to a lesser extent education. There are really good operators out there that we're trying to partner with, who tend to be weaker at the tech.

The UUCP protocol was still used to enable the replication he described. Also, it was not black and white, UUCP or NNTP. For example, for a while I ran a local NNTP server and received news through UUCP.
> Same goes for an argument about certain fixed strings.

The fact that you don't see the difference between copying an abstract idea like an algorithm compared to literal copying of the names necessary for the structure, sequence, and organization of the API belies your ignorance wrt to copyright.

One involves no "this piece of the original is listed here in the reimplementation, verbatim" and the other does.

So far you've given no examples as to why you think that literal copying of SSO of a clean room code library reimplementation isn't equivalent to literal copying of SSO of a clean room REST server reimplementation.

Do you understand SSO arguments?
Yeah, I'd agree 100% with this.

Sadly, it's not unique to Assange. It's a problem with a lot of society, with politics, etc.

No one seems to have the moral integrity to treat their side and the others equally, and to stand up for those who do the same. If they did, Assange may not be in jail, or awaiting possible extradition to the US.

Cloudflare's entire network supports it and Firefox Nightly can consume it see: https://blog.cloudflare.com/encrypted-sni/

That means over 10% of the internet's traffic supports ESNI (even if <1% of clients consume it regularly). We're also seeing additional vendors explore ESNI, including Chrome's team who have said they will look into implementing it when the spec is finalized.
It's a draft, which means it's being pushed towards being standardized. Currently you can enable it in Firefox and Cloudflare will negotiate with eSNI. Chances are this will break some middleboxes once Chrome rolls out the standard [after the standard is finalized].

Years ago, there were high hopes for technologies like this, such as from Changing World Technologies. [1]

The idea was that the thermal depolymerization process would yield useful hydrocarbons and enough methane to run the entire process. Initially they had a pilot plant running on turkey processing waste (feathers and other stuff). In practice, it wasn't economically feasible.

We can recycle just about anything, the trick is to get it to be economical enough.

I don't follow that. The recidivism predictor was supervised. Conversely, AlphaZero is unsupervised and certainly not BS.
It sounds like in this early milestone they will NOT fallback to unencrypted DNS to do a sort of 'scream test'.

> We can start seeing the challenges in enforcing the line on preferring resolution failure to unencrypted fallback. In line with principle 4, this DoH use will be enforced so that a server confirmed by Windows to support DoH will not be consulted via classic DNS. If this preference for privacy over functionality causes any disruption in common web scenarios, we’ll find out early.
