Very interesting, I hadn't ever heard about this.

>They used wood-splitting axes to break into two clean rooms containing nine satellites being built for the U.S. government. Lumsdaine took his axe to one of the satellites, hitting it over 60 times.

>They were arrested and faced up to 10 years in prison for destroying federal government property, causing an estimated $2 million in damage.

That seems to be a pretty minimal amount of damage, considering the total cost per satellite.

Also, the article gets some of the technical details quite wrong. For example:

>In 2000, Selective Availability was disabled and from that point on, anyone with a GPS receiver could get location data as precise as the data used for military and missile navigation.

This isn't true.

1) A GPS receiver that works above 60000ft or at speeds beyond 1000mph is still considered a military munition. You can't buy one and you can't leave the country with one, even if it only uses the civilian signal.

2) Selective Availability essentially distorted the timing of the L1 (C/A) (coarse / aquisition) unencrypted civilian signal, resulting in location errors up to ~100m greater than the nominal accuracy of ~16ft. It was the government essentially spoofing it's own signal at varied amounts to introduce uncertainty.

Turning off SA had nothing to do with the encrypted military (P(Y)) signals.

The encrypted (P(Y)) signals (on both L1 & L2) are still very much encrypted, and clearance is still required to obtain a compatible receiver, at significant cost. In practice augmented (agps) and differential GPS technologies produce higher accuracy and precision than the P code alone would, at less cost and hassle.

The new block satellites coming online add some signals for greater accuracy, but the civilian / military signal segregation and encryption still exists.

Nobody is getting guided-missle level navigation.
> The experts, who chose to answer, suggested that we should first start with crawling the whole web. We were told that this would take between 1 and 2 years to complete, and would cost a minimum of $1 billion

Why are costs so high for crawling?
IMO, this was one of the more interesting releases at re:invent this year. It seems AWS is really making a move to deploy AWS outside of the Region.

AWS Outposts let you have AWS on-prem, AWS Local Zones puts the AWS data plane closer to users and now AWS Wavelength brings AWS services to the edge of the 5G network.

Although I can't personally conceive of all the use cases, I can definitely imagine there are a million different applications that could benefit from being deployed that close to customers.

In that case it should inform the user about the accuracy of the location request.
I'm sure they are, but do the European governments equivalent of the GSA also have incentives to actually drive up the price of consulting contracts they source for their governments? It's not just the coziness that is concerning, but the particularly perverse incentive structure that essentially makes the GSA an inside agent of the consulting industry.
I don't understand your argument. Are you pro-listening devices in people's home?

If you could have Alexa that doesn't listen to everything you say and offers the same service without the analytics, treating every request as a blank slate, wouldn't that be better in every possible way?

That’s why I like their app. I usually re-order what I got before, while on the way there.
> Always with the iPhones and Androids, even though they have the same exact technology for always listening, activating, and sending your data to a database for collection.

I think there's a fair distinction to be made between a cell phone which you can configure to not listen to your environment 24/7 and even put into airplane mode so it isn't sending data vs intentionally bugging your entire house.

It is certainly possible that my cell phone is lying to me when I tell it not to monitor my every word and it tells me that it isn't, but at that point the fault is on Android and Apple. If I choose to bug my house and send the intimate details of my life to Amazon that's 100% on me.

It's also true that while these days a cell phone is basically required to function in modern society, a smart speaker is not.
You don’t need a jailbreak to verify that this is fixed, fortunately.

Ah, this makes much more sense, thank you for the clarification. :)
Do you have a reference of a case where this was violated? I had thought that Apple at least actually had real hardware paths to monitor webcam activity, unless the hardware was physically compromised.
I see surprisingly little discussion of web server log analysis. Would that suit your use case while avoiding client-side analytics?
Maybe not obvious: That link needs to be opened in the Tor Browser.
The NiMH chargers that I've seen have a negative delta-V detection and a timer shutoff. I've had problems charging the Eneloops when used on devices that drain the battery too much. When they are inserted into the charger, the voltage seems to rise too quickly and and somehow confuses the charger so that it stops charging early. In those situations, I've resorted to charging those batteries twice. First time, charge for 5-10 minutes to raise their voltage. Then remove and reinsert the batteries to charge a second time using a more normal voltage curve. Maybe it's a quirk of my charger.

I didn't know about lithium AA/AAA rechargeable batteries. Interesting. I see that most are rated at 1200-1500mAh (AA) and 400-500mAh (AAA). These are only a little over 1/2 the capacity of the NiMH that I normally use. I guess the charging circuitry takes up room in the battery.
This is it, this is why additional training etc won't work.

You need to catch and significantly penalise someone to stop them. The incentive of not killing someone isn't good enough because most of us have never experienced almost killing someone with their car, so why would it happen to me?

In my opinion, you need to have penalties so harsh that it will stop drivers from using their phones. Immediate loss of license for 3-6 months etc.
I have a similar project called `schemainspect` - It creates a data structure representation of a postgres schema.

I then use this data in my database diffing project `migra`, to autogenerate database migrations. You can also use schema diffing to test that your production and development databases match explicitly.

Overall it's a much more flexible but rigorous approach than the old-fashioned rails/django migrations.

> I don't care if I'm poor relatively as long as I'm not poor absolutely.

This might be true for you personally, but it is not true in general; whether people are dissatisfied with their level of wealth/poverty has a great deal to do with how it compares to others.
S3 xfer costs are insane! I can’t believe people host static stuff on it.
Thank you for the additional detail and this certainly appears to be a challenging problem.

It is still a little fuzzy to me. What is a "synthetic query"? Is this basically generating queries that would match the content (i.e. essentially reversing the process)?

Novelty, freshness are interesting but can lead back to the noise problem mentioned in the blog. If many pages are created that may match the query (e.g. "best new movies") many young pages will match this. Popularity would be useful but difficult to establish and then there's the clickbait and other gaming problems.
Thanks for the comment. Yes - it will only work in Tor or in a browser with a Tor tab (e.g., Brave).

>It's most certainly a plug for privacy-focused products.

Their pitch is "we respect your privacy more than the other guy" instead of just "we respect your privacy". User privacy is the antithesis of what they do.
Sure, the more access you have the easier it gets, but even if you have full source code access and full hardware access it doesn't guarantee anything. There was a very serious security bug in OpenSSL that went unnoticed for a year(Heartbleed). If the attacker is sophisticated enough, they can introduce complex bugs that are very hard to reason from the source code and maintain plausible deniability.
If your skill set is cashier you will almost certainly be denied moving even to Russia

That is largely down to the choice of multiple words to express similar concepts in English (due to its mongrel roots), and those having subtly different meanings, hence the high information density in English.

So in one having access to an expansive enough vocabulary, one will often use fewer of the core words. Partially as a way to remove ambiguity in written English (which can be very difficult), partially to write a shorter sentence than would be the case using Germanic root words alone.

For the second phrase you quoted, I could have written 'the heart of the tongue', but that could be read to imply a different meaning.
Wow, I've never seen this before. Love the writing style - reminds me of trying to put together things like this in a creative writing class.
Part of the problem are the actual employees. Many let themselves be abused and do accept these ridiculous shifts making you 'a bad employee' in the eyes of the boss.
The second example is just a benchmark of tzcnt, added in BMI1. It's a very specific and very bizarre benchmark to do when you could just look up the reciprocal throughput (unfortunately Zen 2 has not yet been added).

https://www.agner.org/optimize/instruction_tables.pdf

Edit: This is wrong as BeeOnRope points out below.

The first is SIMD heavy, so Zen 2 mostly closing the gap with Intel in one of the areas where Zen 1 was very weak is a good thing.
That's a lot of great points. Actually was thinking of doing something like this and now I see there's even more potential to help people host stuff quickly and efficiently.
Applications that don’t need accurate location benefit by getting faster results and less battery drain (if the system last got a location 5 minutes ago it’s safe to say you are in the same city, so you can just get a cached result). It’s not really there for privacy, since even the city you are in is a lot of data to go on privacy-wise.
Society’s treatment of alternate hypotheses as somehow more interesting or sensational than null hypotheses leads to bad science. I think it’s interesting that sleep doesn’t seem to have an effect on eyewitness identifications.
It's absolutely possible to use a smartphone in a way that doesn't severely compromise your privacy. This isn't true of Nest or Alexa.
I did a large-scale crawl of the web some years ago and we put together a billion pages.

The bulk of the content ended up being index pages - i.e. large list of links taking you to the content - pagination, other breadcrumbs etc.

You can exhaust a lot of resources without getting anything useful.

It is no longer a point and go kind of thing unfortunately, you need a good understanding of page structure, estimate what kinds of links are vital, etc. else there's a ton of crap you'll pick up.

Or maybe I was doing something wrong.
ZipCam | Multiple Positions | Full-Time | Remote (or Palo Alto) | www.zip.cam

ZipCam makes a smart, connected, automotive dashcam for driving safety. In the U.S., more than 37,000 lives per year are lost in automobile accidents. Worldwide, an unbelievable 1.25 million people die from car crashes annually. We don't need full L5 autonomous cars to save these lives: we can add computer vision and machine learning to existing vehicles, to save lives today.

ZipCam is seed-stage and well funded by angels. You should be a hands-on engineer, but management experience is a plus. Multiple positions available, all full-time, Onsite (Palo Alto) or Remote are OK:

* Midlevel or Senior Machine Learning Engineer. We do neural network analysis of driving video clips: lane-keeping, accident "near miss" detection, sign reading, stop light classification, stop line detection, other driving tasks. Also with a driver-facing camera: classification of various kinds of distraction (cell phone use, etc). You should have experience running accelerated ML models on video data. Experience with IoT is a plus. Low-power (embedded) inference experience is a plus.

* Experienced Android Engineer. We're looking for experience with video streaming, embedded devices, IoT, and intermittent data connections. Experience with the Google NNAPI is a plus. An eye for UI design is always welcome.

Drop us a line to learn more about the product roadmap, it's exciting. This is a historic moment for real-world ML applications. Please send your resume + linkedin & github URLs to jobs - at - zip - dot - cam. Please include relevant publications or mention relevant projects you have done. Looking forward to speaking with you.

P.S. If you'll be at NeurIPS in Vancouver next week, let's meet up during the conference.

I understand that. You're still pre-ordering something that there isn't concrete proof will be ready/as described.
I don't control the situation I've walked into and the events preceding, but I can control the outcomes. I'm not there to take credit for other people's work, but if management isn't on board with their ideas, I can oftentimes help to frame the message so it will be better received. If the "rank and file" is willing to work with me, I'm going to bend over backwards to make sure they have a seat at the table and that their existing work is recognized. I get paid either way so there's no point in trying to take all the credit.

I understand that, as the employee whose ideas have gone unheard, this whole situation may be perceived as a ridiculous waste of time and money. Sometimes it actually is. It might be management's own inability to discern good ideas from bad, a poor understanding of the business or technology problems they face, the solutions available on the market, or lack of trust in their own staff.

More often it's simply managers looking for a broader perspective from an outsider who has engaged other organizations with similar business and technology problems. I start with the understanding that they're sincerely looking to do the right thing until they give me reason to believe otherwise.
AirDrop already benefits from it.
Had to go check my training file to remember.

Datasize: Around 30 MB, so around ~8000000 token? Can't remember exactly
Learning Rate: was 1e-4, so I guess not that slow.
I trained for around 1000 steps, but ended up liking the model from step 550. Which I think ended up at around 2 full passes through my data.

There probably is a point where increasing batch size is no longer helpful, my batch size was 32. When I had it lower I had issues with memorization/bias towards particular parts of the training data that it had most recently trained on.

We will have a blog post tomorrow on this very topic, but in short, we use a combination of Keyvi, Granne (both in-house) along with Cassandra and RocksDB.

Though our approach mentioned in this blogpost significantly reduces the storage needed to host the index, we still have an index of around 50 TB of data.
And to think the more people that add these things, the more of a seamless network it creates for "them." If 20% of houses have the ring doorbell (etc), capturing, processing and categorizing everything that goes by it with ML, how long will it take before they are able to track people basically everywhere? Even those who do not own these devices but happen to pass in front of them which will be increasingly impossible to avoid? Their AI will literally be watching you leave your house (from your neighbors) and driving to work, capturing your license plate and knowing who you are via facial recognition, watching (recording) everywhere you go. All nice and tidy with timestamps, stored forever with easy recall. Coupled with the other data they already have. Where where you Jan 27, 2023 at 19:23:43UTC? You'll likely forget by 2024, but Amazon will know and remember forever, thanks to your neighbor. Just think of how much better they can "target ads" with this data, or whatever their justification is, making the world a better place to live. Our antiquated and broken way of lawmaking will take 10 years at least to catch up. That's a lifetime at the current pace.
Of course Doom is funny. A maniac with a chainsaw, cutting his way through hordes of zombies and the demonic legions of hell, is so absurd that it’s hilarious. Despite its violent and infernal subject matter, the game never ceases to remain lighthearted due to the incongruities raised by such a fast and powerful human protagonist, faced with ridiculous odds.
[Disclaimer I work at Cliqz] There is a lot of systems under the hood, depending if it's the main index or the freshness index. But if I have to pick one as database it should be Keyvi (https://github.com/KeyviDev/keyvi).

FYI, there will be a bunch of articles regarding search in the next week.

For the first level context, you're right. Does faceted search also allow the ability to specify "near this link"? Like a "warmer" or "colder" approach to searching, where I can train the engine during the search?

I also want to maintain a longer-term list of pages/sites to exclude. Like, unless otherwise specified, I never want results from w3schools or expertsexchange.

This field is ripe for disruption, in my opinion. We can do so much better, but I've not seen any serious attempts.
Not too much at all. But in case your budget is tight, you can move around some services, for example, I canceled my hosting account and moved all my websites to ZEIT Now, and I pay around ~11 USD for 7 sites and 20 API endpoints (serverless functions).

I have two sites in my Fathom Analytics account which I pay $14 USD/month. Keep in mind that you can add multiple sites to your Fathom account, you just need to keep an eye on the page views.
Sadly, I don’t think most applications care much about limiting battery drain…
Well in this case, the primary issue is around anti-trust and competition. Given that amazon has a bout a 50% share of e-commerce, this kind of behavior could be harmful to competition and well functioning markets. The counter argument is to say that their space is not e-commerce but all retail and thus Amazon is not a monopolist, but I would argue that this not a good precedent to set for a well functioning economy.

Most tech companies have avoided anti-trust by arguing that they don't hold monopoly power, but I think we are behind the game in terms of regulation. Again, I wouldn't have a problem with Amazon promoting their own products if it didn't have a strong effect on competition and how well markets operate, but I really believe that a lot of the placers are exhibiting monopolist behavior.
I'd say it's both, snickerbockers. Google Analytics wasn't built with privacy in mind and Google is in the advertising business primarily.
If you do that and the eye is tracking (as in the context, here) then you get ghost images rather than blur, which is still quite distracting. That's the reason that a lot of films avoid mid-speed panning shots.

Your mistake is trying to "parse". I am sure the phrase has meaning - it, presumably, means take advice from someone with the same social status - but at any deeper level it is quite meaningless. Don't bother. It isn't worth it.
