Does "warrant-proof" here just mean that Apple doesn't have the keys?

Wouldn't that make ANY end-to-end encryption "warrant-proof"?
Is it though? Ignoring the fun stuff, I just email, read (datasheets and text)books (i.e. PDFs and phone people on my phone - how much muscle memory is there in the first place?

Unless you mean the wider ecosystem, in which case I agree.

Some of the biggest companies in the American tech space value things other than money as the highest priority. Steve Jobs famously was product focused and warned against excessive greed.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/664366-if-you-keep-your-eye...

Elon Musk poured his own money into his projects to the point of becoming bankrupt and was helped out by others who believed in the product.

Cutting costs is the antithesis of what these guys are doing, making outrageous profit is the marketeers and advertisers that came to slash and burn Apple. These guys making reasonable profits and achieving good things are doing so at the expense of greed. The world is a good place.

Google's "don't be evil" has left me uncomfortable when combined their actions.

Cadbury pushed a whole bunch of innovative workplace conditions and purchased a collection of houses to supply the workforce, without the pressure or installation of unions.

There will always be a fundamental conflict between what the worker can get from a company and what the company can get for it's goals. Unions can't change that and nor can bosses. We can see the good in the world for what it is.

Sure! so there are three stages of safety:

OpenPilot generates all of the control messages to send to the vehicle based off of feedback from the cars sensors and it's own camera. it has rate limits for all control messages it generates so that it can't jerk the steering wheel or slam on the brakes (as of now it leaves Collision Avoidance up to the stock system)

Steering limits: https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/a2ae18d1dbd1e59c38...

Accel/Decel limits: https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/a2ae18d1dbd1e59c38...

These control messages are then passed to the Panda over USB. Panda is a microcontroller that converts the control messages into CAN messages that the vehicle can understand. The Panda has the same rate limits checks hardcoded into the firmware and it will reject any control messages that are outside the limits

Panda Safety code: https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/a2ae18d1dbd1e59c38...

Finally, because Panda is sending the same CAN messages as the stock ADAS system, whatever safety mechanisms the OEM implemented apply to OpenPilot as well. Most cars have some form of torque caps and some form of rate limiting baked into the EPS firmware.

I'm not comfortable with the situation because Boeing proved they had the ability and motivation to corrupt the system of approval and training - there has been very little response from pilots, airlines and the government addressing their actions and while this time it ended poorly there is nothing calling out the corner cutting and affixing a price to it that'll discourage similar corner cutting in the future.

If I've got a wicked sharp pairing knife and I cut my finger while peeling something with it then I'll be more careful, but chances are that as the pain fades I'll relax - maybe I'll always be careful with that particular knife but when I get a new pairing knife the memory will be detached.

Boeing needs more than the vague memory of bad PR and low profits for a quarter or two to learn this was unacceptable - and the American legal system is unable to apply a lesson, while the general business culture refuses to learn the lesson.
Things are about to get real.

If launched from Iranian territory there is a pretty clear case for the US to go to war.

I know the “WW3” meme is popular right now but Iran is only a regional power and would likely lose a conventional war quickly against the US (matter of days or weeks).

Yes, but it is comparatively easier getting say, the result of an API's GET and pasting into a file as a sample, than manually tweaking types. At least when you're starting out or if it's a small F# program. You could even use the actual network path, but that's a bit... wilder in terms of maintenance/reproducibility.

Plus, since you can have arbitrary providers, such as a provider that connects to a DB and generates a type-safe "ORM" over your relational database[0] with no configuration other than pointing to the data source you're going to access at runtime. Perfect if you want to write little data transformation scripts.

Goodstein's Theorem cannot be proved in Peano axiomatization of natural numbers in first order logic. You can have stronger axiomatization of natural numbers in first order logic that allows to prove Goodstein's Theorem - such axiomatization would contain subset of set theory and transfinite induction up to ordinal e_0. But it is still axiomatixation in first order logic.

In my experience, many in-ear earphones don't have enough "grip" inside the ear canal and they still rely on that "bump" in order to stay in place. I'm talking about the ones that have a soft rubbery tip, I've never tried earphones with memory foam though.
Does Compelled Password Production Violates the Fifth Amendment
Well, what if you trained on the unbelievable amount of data that enters the human brain?

Like, say inputting years of high definition video, audio, proprioception, introspection, debug and error logs, data from a bunch of other sensors, etc. Then put that in a really tight loop with high precision motion and audio output devices, and keep learning. Also do it on a really fast computer with lots of memory. Also make the code itself an output.

If thats not enough, you could always try self replicating to try to create more successful versions over million year timescales.

You're right, sorry for breaking the format. Hopefully a mod can fix it since I'm not able to edit the post anymore.

I picked that article just because it is a very concise explanation, a bit more proper for sharing, than the official documentation, which currently requires a bit of hyperlink-following and generally nonzero familiarity with the language.

As always, thinking about flat Earthism is a terrible exercise for your brain. The fact that a few people exist who are utterly and obviously wrong about something, and that you’re not among them, should not encourage you to think that you’re probably right about any other issue.

I like Scott Alexander’s essay on this subject, The Cowpox of Doubt: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/04/15/the-cowpox-of-doubt/

Basically, I think an irrational tendency towards “both sides have a point” is a lot better than an irrational tendency towards “my side is right”, and that humans tend to err in the latter way about ten thousand times more often than they err in the former.

If the article is correct, they were not only launched from Iran, but Iran admits it.

This is going to get very interesting in terms of internal US politics. The Democrats don't trust Trump, including in terms of his motives and judgment in dealing with Iran. They also, in general, oppose war. They're trying to use the War Powers Act to reign him in. But if they do so, and prevent a response to this latest attack, that could cost a number of them dearly in the next election - especially since Iran is not likely to stop at firing a few missiles at two US bases.
If it was implemented with vacuum tubes, that would indicate a hardware problem as well as a system design problem.

So in this situation, the claim is that braindead contractors mechanically implemented something to spec by force of law? Sure, then whoever designed the logic is accountable.

In 99.9% other environments, the distinction is collapsed because the implementor typically has responsibility to design sub-component level logic correctly, to high-level requirements, but also to overall business need and in service to even higher level project goals, and the team that designed the logic is also implemented by the same team.
So as I said in another comment in this thread, in my experience, many in-ear earphones don't have enough "grip" inside the ear canal and while they will stay in place in the short term (5-10 minutes) they still rely on that "bump" in order to stay in place in the long term. The ones I've tried had rubber tips, another user told me that there are some with memory foam, maybe those ones would work

It's a GPT-2 1.5B model trained on the kingbase 2019 dataset. (>3M games of >2000 ELO rating.) It was trained for 400k steps with batch size 6 using 140 TPUs in 24h using a technique known as swarm training. Here's an incomplete whitepaper on swarm training: https://www.docdroid.net/faDq8Bu/swarm-training-v01a.pdf

The dataset is available here:

gsutil cp gs://gpt-2-poetry/data/kingbase-ftfy.txt .

Each line is of the form [Result "0-1"] [WhiteElo "2715"] [BlackElo "2793"] 1. e4 ...

Result 0-1 means black won; 1-0 means white won; 1/2-1/2 means a draw.

At runtime I prompt it with [Result "0-1"] and a high elo for white and black to make it more likely to generate higher level moves.

Our next project will be a GPT-2 IRC bot where you can talk with simulated people. We currently have one that wasn't trained for very long, yet the preliminary results are interesting enough to warrant a more serious time investment. https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1208667331230089216

Many people have asked for a thorough technical writeup which I hope to make available soon. In the meantime, you an read some of our GPT-2 1.5B adventures here: https://www.gwern.net/GPT-2#gpt-2-1.5b

Lastly, someone on /r/slatestarcodex apparently did this exact same thing a few months ago. They trained on algebraic notation instead of PGN format, which is basically x1y1x2y2 coordinate form with no mention of the type of piece. It was also trained on 1B moves. The engine is superior to ours and can apparently reach move 40 without blundering, according to the replay. https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/el87vo/a_ve...

I have also been porting the stylegan2 codebase to TPUs to facilitate swarm training. We hope to train on a very large dataset like the entirety of danbooru2018. No promises, but results are interesting so far. https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1214245145664802817

One option is to try and monetize a hobby you want to do anyway. I’ve just started to do this with my woodworking/cnc/making hobby.

I make art piece wordclocks[0]. I’ve Sold a few with almost no marketing effort. My goal is to sell two per month.

Part of my marketing effort is improving visibility on Etsy and so I’ve started selling much less expensive items on Etsy too[1]. They are not so much for the revenue as for the traffic, ratings, and learning how to best use Etsy. These secondary products are all based on things I’ve designed and made for/with my young kids.

Two observations:

- I’ve really enjoyed the path of developing better processes of how to fabricate things more efficiently

- I’ve really enjoyed getting my kids involved with making. It’s fun to observe them thinking about how to make stuff and working with them to figure things out (they are 3 and 6).

By monetizing my hobby I can also write off tools I’d like to have. Note that I started pretty low cost using tools at my local makerspace[2].

When I was making $35k/yr I was putting 10% in my retirement plan. I just had cheaper vacations, older cars, and fewer luxuries. People don't like to hear it but most financial problems are a character problem more than they are an income problem. The good news is that character flaws are not permanent. We all have them and if we can be self aware enough to acknowledge them, we can address them.
How many of those have you reported?

It's a shame the University of Sydney doesn't have access to this study such that they could have included a link so skeptical people could see for themselves the specifics of this alleged conservatism. Not doing that causes my intuition to question the truthiness of these claims, so I will file this item under "Unknown-Suspicious".

"ReplayGain is a proposed standard published by David Robinson in 2001 to measure the perceived loudness of audio in computer audio formats such as MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. It allows media players to normalize loudness for individual tracks or albums. This avoids the common problem of having to manually adjust volume levels between tracks when playing audio files from albums that have been mastered at different loudness levels."

At first confusing, then enlightening. When I was hired, I was told many things about the values of the company, how much they wanted people to think about doing things differently and create innovation even if it was not directly profitable, how much they value diverse contributions and thought, and most importantly, how it's not all about the bottom line here.

I was praised in my 1 year performance review to no end and given great feedback by my manager about new initiatives I had worked on or projects I had done. When I got my official paper copy of the review, it had a score that equaled C- because my estimated revenue contribution was ~5% below my role's average and that was essentially the only thing that mattered for performance evaluation score and bonus/promotion opportunities.

Knowing this, I focused much more on making money the next year and got a much better grade. I left the company shortly after that and I'm still mad they were not just honest with me at the start. I would have taken another job if I knew that was what the deal was, which I suspect is why they lied.

But the wall is not designed to be a TV but for digital signage. Even that page is inside their business side. I'm not sure while they keep trying to market to consumers. With those prices clearly it doesn't even make sense.

IIRC Sony has Crystal led (which is just a brand for their micro led), and other companies have a sub 1mm pitch led walls which should be pretty similar.

For a more "classical" solution there are LCD's with hairline bezels like Barco Unisee's, but again even those are far from consumer prices.

That's why pageandrew said "pilot unions" and not just "pilots". I doubt that SW, for example, is ready to try to break a strike by pilots in order to force the 737 Max back into service.

Which leaves us with pageandrew's comment: "If pilots and pilot unions are satisfied with the results, I'm satisfied with the results."
