My sentiment: use sessions in cookies the way people have for years if what you're doing is managing sessions.

There isn't really such a thing as stateless auth tokens. For authentication you need revocation. For authorization, you can't stick that in a token that you send out because permissions can change. So you end up having state that you distribute everywhere anyway, so do it in the easiest way possible. Scaling fast lookups of a session key is much simpler problem.

That's 30 years away. Given the rate of change in the rate of construction of solar and wind in the past 30 years, that extrapolation is very silly. To give you some idea: the global cumulative installed PV capacity has increased by about four orders of magnitude since 1990.
His graph assumed continuous exponential growth in deployment. In reality, deployment of solar in 2018 (97.4 GWdc) was slightly less than in 2017 (97.8 GWdc).

> But anyway, is that really a talk saying we should invest in fusion because solar won't scale fast enough?

Yes.
That's a good point, but the increased visibility should act as a deterrent. That's why it's not OK for a President to have a sidepiece anymore, when back in the day it was a matter of course.

Having gone through this myself, I agree with #1, it’s sometimes hard to find the right lawyer. But I guess that means start looking now.

Your #2 reason is tricky because individuals who need the advice to seek out a lawyer already don’t understand the value of having a lawyer, so they have no way to gauge the financial cost of hiring one. That makes a lawyer seem very expensive, when in reality sometimes the risk of not having one is much greater than the cost.

A few years ago I had a side project I wanted to turn into a company, but not enough money to do it full time. So I applied for a job. The employment contract they wanted me to sign had a non-compete that was vague enough that my side project would be in conflict with my job.

I was very worried about spending $2k to hire a lawyer to write an exclusion clause into my employment contract. It seemed like a lot of money to me. But I did it, and for the money I got a single paragraph of text that excluded my company from ever being considered “competition”. (Actually the real value was not the text, it was that my employer knew the text was written by an employment lawyer, so they accepted it and didn’t push back.) Later I left that job to start my own company, and then sold it a few years after that. Without the clause, I could have risked the entire thing. In retrospect, it was some of the best money I ever spent, worth every penny.
Interestingly, when I started playing the game, this task was essentially impossible for human players without consulting external resources, because the crafting recipes were unlisted, and you needed to know the specific recipes for various things like crafting tables, pick-axes, and shovels that would be nearly impossible to discover by randomly trying to guess recipes.

I don't know if there's a starting tutorial in the game now that explains some basic crafting recipes to get started with (there better be!), but unless the AI can understand it, or you're explicitly programming in the recipes as data, good luck.
it's the same in UK, EU and Australian law.

No one is building new capacity (with current tech) because existing factories are operating at a loss.

As for new tech, 1366 Technologies has built a factory in Malaysia and was expected to ramp up their kerf-less wafer production in Q3 2019 for sale to Hanwha at their neighboring plant.

https://1366tech.com/2019/02/26/1366-technologies-and-hanwha...

Meanwhile, another of my favorite companies, AltaDevices has recently shut down and is looking for new investors.

https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2019/12/09/alta-devices-hopes-ou...

I am certainly hopeful that eventually new capacity will come online that can compete with existing factories, but the fact remains that numbers from a linear programming model do not mean that the factories exist to build all that solar.
Minecraft has had a native recipe book for some time. It displays crafting recipes as you progress through the game.

> "Talk to a lawyer" is the best answer to something like this

Agreed. That's probably the best advice for any non-trivial legal issue or question. I hope no one read my answer as contradicting that.

That said, is there _any_ example, in _any_ jurisdiction where a court has upheld an employer's right to IP that meets those three criteria (employee's own time, own equipment and unrelated to the employers business)? I would hate to be in position where I'd need to find out, but I'm curious if this has _ever_ been tested in court. It just seems like a ridiculously over-reaching claim.

Right. Theres tons of prior dependencies that could be used with regular old planning and scheduling. Deciding what you need right now is actually trivial with that stock knowledge, and ML might help with where or how to get it, etc.

But I dont think the problem is to get Minecraft agents that can make diamond swords ... it's to use only ML to make agents, which means throwing away all that. That's fine.

Do you need consent to count unique IPs that visit your site in the UK under GDPR? Aren't there laws that say unique IPs do not correspond directly to an individual (in the context of piracy), and yet for simple website analytics you count IP as uniquely identifying a user? Am I required by law to change the default config of apache or nginx to not log the IPs? Or is it enough if I promise not to analyze the logs?

> Entrants were only allowed to use a single graphics processing unit (GPU) and four days of training time.

Alphastar SCII bot has been using much more resources and time than this to train, so maybe there is one of the reasons no entrant has achieved the goal yet.

> A relatively small Minecraft dataset, with 60 million frames of recorded human player data, was also made available to entrants to train their systems.

It will be interesting to see if these artificial and somewhat arbitrary constraints (although I get that the idea is to restrain it to resources that are somewhat realistically available to a single individual without organizational backing today) will either cripple this challenge or in the end yield some innovative results because the entrants will have to devise algorithms that use much less data and resources than what has been traditionally required to get SOTA results.

Additionally it is also unclear whether the way humans learn to play this game is actually using a smaller or a much bigger dataset to learn from. Sure, a human can learn to play it in 20 minutes, but that's after 9-10 years of other pretraining of seing, understanding and operating in the 3D physical world performing various tasks, getting compressed knowledge from other people by watching and listening to them... Maybe that would be an interesting challenge - to still constrain the final model to 1 GPU for 1 day, but at least allow the model to pretrain on arbitrary similar data, if it is not sourced directly from minecraft or any clones.
This exactly. I had to switch pharmacies from Walgreens to another local chain because of this. All of a sudden it seemed like the medication wasn’t working at all. One day I was out and had to use my “backup” meds which were a few months old and I noticed they looked slightly different. Taking them was like the first time I ever took Adderall, literally felt like my heart was going to explode.

I’d suggest filling your next prescription somewhere else and see if that makes a difference. Not just a different location, but a different pharmacy entirely.
The challenge is to do this via imitation learning, so it gets to watch others find diamonds first.
Exactly — it's basically the same as writing your own separate authentication service, or using Auth0/Cognito/Firebase.

I just read about it on Auth0 [0] and facepalmed. Then I went to node-jsonwebtoken to ensure they added an ‘algorithm’ argument to a ‘verify’ call and you guess what [1].

They added ‘algorithms’, but into ‘options’, so that naive user like me could just skip it and stay open to attacks. That’s auth0’s own module, btw.

Thanks for pointing that out!

I don't think that is the OP's point at all. They aren't saying the tax rate should be low, they're saying that the social safety net should be handled by the government and charities rather than for-profit businesses.
Any time money is involved I have to believe there will always be a motive, however small, to alter results for financial benefit. It's common for other "trusted" media companies to be impacted by their advertisers - why would the NYT be immune?

That doesn't mean the factories can't be built, it means it doesn't make economic sense to build them right now, in the current global environment that still lacks carbon taxes or the equivalent. It also means it does not yet make sense to rip out much of the installed capacity and replace it with renewables (a point that requires a lower price than just dominating replacement of end-of-life plants and building for growth in demand.)
How so? Corporations are amoral. Their job is to maximize profit. This is something of value to them, produced (presumably) under employment contract that entitles them to it.

They are obligated to take ownership.
China was stealing enough tech to do that. Also, self sufficiency was already a long term strategic goal, thus the tech stealing. It forces the issue, but hardly changes the calculus.

How is the question framed, then? Either everyone's aesthetic judgement is equally valid, or there are some judgments that are better than others. I'm interested in the defense of the latter position. By what reasoning can an aesthetician convince me that Bach is better (in some, in any way) than Harry Potter? Or if that's not the right question either: by what reasoning can an aesthetician argue that a particular interpretation or assignment of value is better than another?

Yes, I arrived at my position out of ignorance, but I've had this kind of argument online before, and nobody has been able to offer me an argument for the side which says we can arrive at value judgments about art that are independent of the person, or whatever the opposite opinion to "art is subjective" is supposed to be.
Does this amphetamine use constitute abuse? Drug abuse is typically defined as use that creates negative effects to the person's social and/or personal health. It seems to me his drug use gave him the ability to work at a high level and allowed him to derive self-worth from that work. He was also able to discontinue the drug use at will. Even if there were some negative health side-effects, I wonder if abuse should be the term used here.

Manufacturer's perspective. If you're looking for business opportunities, something with a huge schlep blindness quotient[1], if you love adversarial thinking, then you'll love 'Reverse Logistics'. Also maybe if you're a politician looking to score some jobs for your district.

The basic economic lever is simple with implications that go far: it costs more to process a returned good than the value one could accrue from reselling it because returned goods need to be processed three times while regular goods only need to be processed once. If 3% of your shipped goods are returned you are making a healthy profit. If 10% are returned you are breaking even. If 20% are returned you are going under. Goods are usually manufactured at 25% their retail cost and businesses have overhead that profit needs to cover.

A lot of the return cost is additional labor and shipping. If you can minimize transport (sort returns at local factories/DCs rather than shipping back to China) and minimize cost of processing returns with low-skill labor (say supplementing with high resolution cameras/scales/machine learning inspection by comparing your 'returned' good against thousands of known good versions of your good) one could tackle this. Laws would help in that they would force product designers to push to more assembly and less fabrication steps and fewer steps overall.

I normally don't respond to snark but what the heck I'm feeling festive.

Your stated "big problems":

* developers often aren’t sure what it does

It's easier to understand what code is doing in a strongly typed system. Just trying to find where a method is defined in a dynamic language is often difficult and time-consuming.

* how to organize the code

Strongly typed languages generally encourage better code modularity. Not a panacea, but a help.

* aren’t designing for maintainability

Automatic, safe refactoring is a crucial tool in the maintainability toolkit. Again, not a panacea, but a huge help.

I understand there are always bigger problems, and adopting a strongly typed approach after a mountain of technical debt has already accumulated may not be worth it. And if your developers can't write good, maintainable code regardless of static/dynamic types, that is certainly a bigger problem. But none of this means that static types don't solve big problems, which was the assertion I disagreed with.

At issue is he says that what he created is within the realm/market of his employer. That would be akin to an Intel engineer saying "I designed another microchip for computers but I promise I was doing this for me and not for Intel so its mine." You cant do some work on specific sector A for your employer and then do some other work in specific sector A on your own and now expect the employer to ask, justifiably, "who decided the dividing line here?"

Looks like they move their wings like birds, there is a forward movement that avoids pushing any air, and a backwards movement where they push the air back. If so, the more effort they are making (so, at take off, hoovering, and against the wind), the longer they will push their wings ahead.

(I did never notice this before, and it's kind of surprising because most insects move differently. But it does make a lot of sense, because they have large wings and can not really fly like a mosquito.)
