Probably not. Far too often "preserve the original" is code for "do nothing", the far cheaper path than installing a complex new system. I'm all for preserving old buildings, they don't all need safety rails everywhere, but a giant wooden building with no fire supression? It was inevitable.
I like pipelining as a 1.1 feature. I have successfully used TCP/TLS clients like netcat and openssl to retrieve text/html in bulk for many years. The servers always worked great for me.

However I never liked chunked encoding as a feature. In theory it sounds reasonable but in practice it is a hassle. As TE chunked became more widespread eventually I had to write a filter to process it. It is not perfect but it seems to work.

Not surprised chunked encoding can cause problems on the server-side. NetBSD has a httpd that tries to be standards-compliant but still has not implemented chunked requests.
Why a torrent client would be sketchier than any other software ?
There are plethora of good open source clients like qbittorrent, transmission ... even aria2 ! At that rate, are you suspicious of wget too ? Even more of Chrome ? There are a lot of sketchy things going on in that one !
It is the user's responsability to choose in which software he trust, and a bittorent client is not worst than anything else ?
Well that was an underwhelming argument..
google is shit random links* - DOWNLOAD BRAVE!"

My (and please feel free to take a pop at me) riposte is that Google is the single large Internet company that keeps encroaching into my privacy/life - but gives me enough carrot with each stick for me to forgive them.
Yes, I'm being data-raped, but they're actually pretty open with it and provide me some use from this data.
e.g. Years ago I was shocked at seeing that I was being tracked on the maps timeline. But, it meant I could identify that great restaurant I was trying to remember.

I had the option to turn off the tracking.. but well it's really useful. Then you see your last holiday came with free-tracking and your free-pixel photos inserted into a lovely timeline.. grinds teeth at the intrusion, but loves the nostalgic montage

They also have been successful in opening my wallet - no more youtube adverts for me (and yes, you can block them in the browser, but then that doesn't pay the creator). Also paid for Drive - originally that, drop-box or Onedrive flips coin - but best client, API for my NAS, could add backup for my Mum's PC.. It was better so I bit, but kept finding more useful stuff being added.

As a counterargument - "Facebook".
I used to think it was magic, but every interaction annoys me. "Why don't you connect to these people???! - Because I've no idea who any of them are.

Ebay - Doesn't seem to offer me anything more, except more shite each time I try to use it. Expensive AliExpress at best.

Amazon - actually great for shopping, nice integration of third party stuff. Easily winner in cloud hosting - and great example of horizontal gubbins.

MS - Under Satya actually interesting once more - and as I was convinced they were going insane, proof that I've no idea what I'm talking about.

It seems like you might be deep in the ML rabbit hole. Zoom out a bit. A hash function is "just a function." Every image labeling black box can be though of as a hash from images to label vectors.

OP's comment effective asks whether there is another, more grokkable function that maps/hashes inputs to the same labels.

Granted, that question boils down to "can we create human-understandable models?" which is the whole point of this discussion.

It's a good question, though. If we had black-box-like spaghetti code performing the same task, I predict that the comments here would be very different.
It's true our own cognition is also a black box, e.g. how do we recognize? It's as much a mystery to introspection as digestion. But the goal of science is to understand. Whereas with DL, we're just chimps in the dirt playing with sticks.

Oh, the irony in that... he is not self-conscious about The Irishman. Also he's right of course and it's exactly the reason why Netflix picked up The Irishman.

Busy box (I think) has a torrent client in it and most Linux distributions ship with that if I remember correctly.

If you’re worried about how “sketchy” it is most busybox applets can be read through and totally understand in a few hours tops.
I believe this is correct. Assume a black box model fails. To the point that the author is removed from the system (e.g. executed). How do you transition accountability to another party in a reasonable way?
You do have to wonder why nobody thought ‘this is getting a bit crazy’ before though.
This will be hard to do relying only on WebTorrent browser based client, because if no one is watching particular video, there will be no seeds.

You close browser = close WebTorrent = you stop seeding

You stop watching video = you stop seeding it

Long and large video file? = if most people watch at half of video, then data from beginning is already out of the buffer = no seed for first half of video.

To this day there is still no support for WebTorrent in other popular Bittorrent clients so they can't connect to each other. But there is some movement in libtorrent library so we will see.
This is true for the streaming use case, where you have a browser open and you want to watch a video.

The case the author is going after is downloading a large Debian distro, so in the use-case of large, distributed file distribution there will always be solutions like the author.
What do you mean? As I said, I consider NSO to not remotely be "in good standing with the global community", and clearly many countries and people strongly share that view. I maintain that even in light of two particular governments supporting them.

It'd only be moving the goalposts if I had said "with some fraction of the global community". I clearly meant the entire global community, not just one or a few countries. Obviously at least some countries support this, else NSO would get no business and would not exist; some governments supporting and procuring them is the whole problem in the first place. So pointing to a few countries supporting NSO doesn't really provide any counter-argument: it emphasizes my point that there needs to be globe-level coordination here. Perhaps you could remove certain rogue countries like North Korea from the consensus list, but it would otherwise need to be a global consensus.

UN officials have also expressed their concern with their ethics, and the UN is probably as close as you can get to representatives of the global community (even if it's not at all perfect).
Facebook could look to the UN's positions as a starting point, for example (and perhaps that's exactly what they did here and maybe is part of their legal grounds for why they consider NSO to be a bad actor).

If it were the case that every country and regulatory body in the world collectively decided that this kind of thing is ok, then yes, I'd need to change my criteria.

I was just saying if an intelligence contractor (in the same domain as NSO) is universally in good standing with the global community and a court order is sent, I think it's ok. I am not aware of any currently existing ones which are in good universal global standing, so this will probably only ever apply in many years or decades.
It's not. The point is that the explanation given does not correspond to the process through which the decision was truly reached. That is to say, we give incorrect explanations of our own decisions.

That's not the same question as whether there were feelings involved, or whether the process was conscious.

> If your model does not adequately predict the data generating process, then your model absolutely does not explain it or articulate its inner working.

That's a very dynamicist viewpoint. I don't necessarily disagree.

However, in what sense to the prototypical deep learning models predict the data generating process?

I tend to agree that a lot of work with "interpretable" in the title is horseshit and misses the forest for the trees.

> Are there any activities to do that can reduce the comfort time to the minimum?

I'm not an educator, but I think the goal is to normalize asking questions. This can be achieved by initially forcing everyone to ask a question (no matter how silly/not related to the topic of the day). You could give them time to write down the questions first, then everyone gets their turn to read it. Later, you can relax it so that questions become voluntary.

I didn’t find it.. got the link ?
No, they're not misrepresenting this at all. ProPublica's article https://www.propublica.org/article/machine-bias-risk-assessm... was pushing the claim that somehow, the COMPAS black box was implicitly deducing defendants' race from the "137 questions" input to it and labelling them likely reoffenders based on it in a way that was indepdendent of the key factors known to affect reoffending rates, such as age and gender. The paper in question seems to demonstrate the exact opposite is true: ProPublica were inadvertently using race as an imperfect proxy for age at sentencing, which is what the COMPAS algorithm really cared about, because their attempt to control for age at sentencing didn't work. After controlling for the actual age factor, COMPAS results didn't have any relationship to race anymore. (It's not even a weird weighting factor: predicted reoffending risk falls off rapidly with increasing age at first, then more slowly in a smooth fashion. It's just not linear.)

Now, it's of course possible to argue that judging reoffending risk based on age is in fact unfair and racist because it has disproportionate impact on certain racial groups, even though it's strongly predictive across all racial groups. That's not the argument ProPublica made, though. Their argument was about the supposed perils of black boxes, and they kind of acknowledged that age probably wasn't a racist criteria - or at least that it would be a lot harder to justify calling it one - by attempting to strip out its effects in the first place. It's also a different kind of argument entirely, one that revolves not around whether the algorithm is somehow treating people differently based on their detected race - because it isn't - but around what it means for a decision like this to be fair in the first place.

Apparently "risk" is tied to compensation. And so is talent.

So if you have someone telling you they're more talented than you are, and they take bigger risks, and that's why they're paid a lot more than you, why would you not expect them to take more responsibility than everyone else when things go wrong?

The ecological history of the earth shows there have been dramatic changes in climate before. It is speculated/strongly believed that some of these changes had a strong contribution from organic life eg plants and trees affecting weathering rates and therefore atmospheric composition. These climate changes were usually associated with the annihilation of most (sometimes all) complex life, certainly anything you would ever call an animal.

I just make this point to say that climate change can definitely wipe us out, just as it has other large animals before.

One issue that isn't discussed much - an ageing population. Obviously this is a generalisation, but the more elderly are disincentivized to do anything about climate change. They also lack the resources to really change behaviour, and are resistant to the kind of sweeping economic and societal changes being proposed. At the same time, they have a lot of influence on political decision making or are the decision makers themselves. I don't see a solution to this problem, aside from waiting until the influence of that generation dies off (about another 10 years).

You can take nearly any black box model and add some interpretability into it, without modifying this model. No modifications to the model, so accuracy stays the same.

"The point is that the explanation given does not correspond to the process through which the decision was truly reached."

Sure, but that doesn't mean "a weighted combination of feelings" is an accurate description of the true process. That's tendentious and speculative. What I think we can be sure of is that there are parts of our decision making that we are not consciously aware of, but precisely because of that, one should be cautious of assuming how it works even if you're not doing it by reflex. Psychological explanations are the rationalizations that people make after the fact.
Browsers have offered a "block third party cookies" setting for decades.

I'm honestly surprised none of the major browsers block third party cookies by default, it's much simpler XSRF protection than this as it doesn't rely on site developers updating and setting the new flag right.

Of course, two sites that seriously want to collaborate on user tracking (or login) can always forward the user’s whole browser window there and back, with URL parameters to synchronise first party cookies.
How many end users actually download linux distributions? I'd argue that most mainstream consumption is:

Yes, I'm (somewhat) aware of the research. I'm unaware of any legal jurisdiction that recognizes it, let alone tries to address it somehow.

>And nobody will claim otherwise. But there's always a trade-off, and focusing only on reducing the expense is severely misguided.

That's conventional wisdom and applicable in lots of other places, but not in cryptosystem design. People have to accept that cryptosystems in general and cryptocurrency in particular are different domain from most other software engineering they're used to.

Any single error or bug can result in the complete compromise and failure of the entire system. The old rules of calculating acceptability of risk and errors based on whether they enable more value creation than they put at risk, no longer apply, because any/every error can result in total loss.

I believe different world views on this issue is one of the root causes of the schism in Bitcoin.

>The funny thing is, the inaction of the Bitcoin devs have made it fail at one of the core features of money. You cannot consider it to be acceptable, as fees are so expensive they price out a lot of people. Money should be easy to move around, and you should be able to buy large and small things with it.

That's a "nice to have" for sure, but not at the risk of a Global Financial Crisis style event happening to Bitcoin itself. The prudence of the Bitcoin devs has made it succeed at avoiding that so far.

>Yet this is somehow preferable, because doing otherwise would make Bitcoin "fail at sound money", whatever that means.

There's no need to be confused about that term, it has a simple, clear and easy to understand meaning. Sound money is money whose supply and value is both transparent and un-manipulatable.

When you choose to store savings in that currency, you know how it works, and you know it can't be changed in the future (to either your detriment or benefit). Sound money is a social contract that can't be broken or reneged.

By way of counter-example, in the GFC, the US Fed pumped up the money supply to prevent the failure of the banking system, risking devaluation of dollar-based savings and hyperinflation to the detriment of everyone else.

For another counter-example, the US Govt's inability to control its deficit and debt may one day result in it having to monetize the debt (print more dollars to pay for it), devaluing the dollar and dollar-based savings, and harming global confidence in the dollar as a reserve asset.

Cryptocurrency as sound money is a hedge against that, and that's the ultimate killer app. But if you lose enough decentralization, you lose this characteristic of it. Then its worthless, regardless how good of a payment system it makes.

And it will never be better than Paypal and other centralized payments services at merely transferring money quickly and cheaply, so if it has no other value proposition like sound money then its worthless.

"where there's a will, there's a way." Like I said, these problems are hypothetical and immaterial. If people were struggling to drink clean water or get food, they'll prioritize it with their time and money to solve it. We're dealing with massive time scales to solve these problems. The media makes money off the hyperbolic, pseudoscientific fanfiction they churn out and politicians are elected by fear. "97% of scientists believe in climate change" doesn't mean "97% of scientists believe we've caused the Apocalypse and it's over for humanity in the next decade." It simply means "97% of scientists think the world is warming and is caused in part by human activity."
Humans however, in addition to the immediate perception, can also more slowly recognize objects with reasoning and thus explain their perception.
