The government doesn't have to use it. Or like it. We don't really care what they think of these decentralized instruments. They are for us to use as we see fit and to build on top of and so far they have shown they are very useful and overall a great thing for the financial system they live in. Like you say we will find out if people find them useful but even now nearly a billion dollars is being used in defi for legal and top of the table use cases so at least some people already find it useful to them.

We are seeing a flourishing system of financial experiments being built as truly anything goes in this new digital worldwide ecosystem. Not all of the experiments will work but at least they will be tried and the market will decide whether or not they are useful and valuable to this digital society.

Italian Interior Ideas to Inspire Your Thoughts
I don't think Cory is writing for the machine learning community.

Cory is trying to inform people that AI and ML aren't a magical solution to all our wasteful systems because in some cases we need to throw away the system and start again, and AI can't tell us that. It can only tell us the best way to run the current system. That's what he means when he says AI is conservative.

It's not surprising at all if you understand AI but most non-tech people don't.

This is why I think the moped is in practice the better choice until this tech matures. Over 100mpg isn't bad, won't leave you stranded, and isn't as much of a magnet for theft.

I did see an ad for some electric moped with removable batteries. You simply pull up to a gas station and swap your empties for charged ones, just like propane tanks. No waiting on a charger, but it would require total adoption like gasoline did for it to be practical.

The game wouldn't work without a ranking system. At least you can't go from a matchmaking system back to one without, because there's a segment of the player base that is so good that if you throw them together with the average player then the average player won't have much fun. Games like LoL and Dota snowball too hard for it to be fun to lose at every stage of the game. It also wouldn't be much fun for the good player, because they won't face a challenge.

Also, I have some severe doubts about the origin of toxicity in that game being in the matchmaking system. Dota was the game where you were abused as a noob when you started out ("welcome to dota, you suck"). It's a niche game from 2003 after all.

leagues toxicity has its roots in them not allowing players control over themselves. You can get stuck in a game with an asshole and they force you to play it out. That would put anyone in a shitty mood, and is why I stopped playing the game.
Lazy people won’t take an ebike unless all the infrastructure favours cyclists and everything else is worse.

Ebikes are cool for older people tho: I know a guy who has one and he told me, since he has it he hardly uses anything else. His incentive was to be able to cycle normally, but take the electric aid when there is a steep hill or when he gets tired.

I think this is a much more realistic use case: people who really want to cycle, but live in hilly areas, feel insecure about their energy managment or have long distances to cover.

The real lazy ones you descripe will take the subway, the train or the car if they can afford it. Because sitting in the wind and weather on a bicycle takes a little bit of motivation, regardless of electrification. Having the courage to drive through a big city plays a even bigger role, as I mentioned. This obviously depends on where you are — certain cities are a charm to cycle in, where others make you feel downright suicidal even as a live long cyclist.

Is your mind able to distinguish between a problem in general, and a problem that the government should solve?

This is kind of a two part problem: an ability to realize the difference (an ability that seems largely constrained by evolution), and an ability to admit it publically.

I enjoy posing "philosophical" questions like this and observing if interest in the topic vanishes.
But there are no bots available that can play the game for you competently. Even deepmind had to have quite a few restrictions to do so and such a system most likely can't even learn an evolving metagame.

I've had the misfortune of setting up Application Insights for logging across a distributed system.

It's awful. The integration with most (C#) logging frameworks is horribly, the adaptive sampling, which is hard to turn off, means that Application Insights randomly drops logs, which makes any sort of distributed tracing of events really difficult.

To top that, there's a delay of 5-10 minutes from the logs are written until they're queryable, which is a huge pain when debugging your setup.
interestingly, your examples revolve around making things faster. Which basically is understood as : "well, we've already too much pressure and our PM wants to put even more pressure on us". Going faster (or being more efficient) always mean being able to take more work.

Likewise, looking only at nominal wage increases is a “pretty terrible” way of gauging who benefits from increased wealth. If improvement in productivity (automation) results in lower prices (or better or more goods for the same price), that increases the purchasing power of a worker’s earnings, even if their wage has not risen.

In other words, a worker is richer if they can buy more and better stuff even without any rise in their wage.

The fact that everyone can afford a smartphone, including those with jobs that “suck”, does not reconcile with “only a very small number of people are capturing the wealth that it is generating.“
This is true only if what you're building is big enough.

For something like vimscript, where most people are likely to script minor stuff, the marginal cost of learning the scripting language itself is non-trivial and increases the "barrier of entry" significantly.

That's a pretty interesting corollary! I suppose I could extrapolate that in such a system, too much change over too little time would invite a strong conservative response / lag to future input.

Our 20 year old millennium has seen a tremendous rate of change in both technology and social norms. Perhaps politics has some similar inertial dynamics.
To assume that dark skinned people aren't involved in creating or testing facial recognition, or that women aren't, seems bizarre and vaguely racist/sexist.

It's unlikely anyone making a facial recognition system would choose to release a version that didn't work, at the very least, for everyone on the team.

If the team is only white men then you can see why they might accidently release something that only works on white men's faces. If there was a woman or a PoC on the team they'd have someone saying "Hang on, it doesn't work on me!"

The important thing to learn here is that any system is only ever as good as the data used to test it. If your test data sucks then the system you build is also going to suck.
Boy, our eyes sure are racist for using light reflection.

Also, obviously the difference between the dynamic range of cameras and our eyes play a major part in technical difficulties in multi-racial facial recognition as well?
No but it introduces a complete shim of the native platform underneath -- as in your can write and execute JS that moves native code underneath. React Native doesn't support this currently (and has no plans to).

There's also the possibility of using vastly lighter weight frameworks, for example svelte-native[0] which should be quite a bit more responsive.

Also, aren't facial recognition algos trained on broadly available data sets and NOT on the bunch of developers who are working on it? A sample of on average five people seems to be a dumb way to train facial recognition - whether diverse or not.
When I am recognizing a face, that face is attached to a body and in a particular context (e.g. my office, or my home, etc). There are a myriad of different clues, like tone of voice, body language, scent, etc. I am not given a single still image but a video with many frames. Furthermore, the number of people I can recall on sight is probably single digit thousands. All of these are very different for facial recognition software.

If I was trying to recognize a huge number of different people, who I had only ever known from still images, and all I had to recognize them were still images then yes, of course, it would be easier to recognize white men than black women for the reasons I just described. I actually don't understand how you can doubt that.

Imagine two images of a black woman. In one she has makeup and in the other she doesn't. Do you doubt that these two images are more different, and therefore harder to identify as the same person, than two pictures of a man, neither of which have makeup?

Do you genuinely think that the difference in facial recognition accuracy is because models aren't trained on dark skinned or female people?

I'm also at a loss as to how you could use any kind of camera or image that didn't depend on the reflection of light.
Yup, I used it on a client application the first time I used it and it worked very well. The project was finished a while ago, and Nativescript has made leaps and bounds in that time, it's even better today.

I used Nativescript-Vue[0] which has since been brought under the nativescript umbrella fully, and it was a great experience. Vue is drastically less complex than React and that translated to very easy app building.

I don't build mobile apps (I think the market is somewhat saturated), but if I had to, I wouldn't even consider Flutter these days (I've built a small app in that as well), or building natively (who wants to be an "android developer" these days if you don't want to specialize in it?) -- Nativescript all the way.

There's also stuff like svelte-native[1] -- Nativescript is a better platform to build on than React Native. Props to the React Native team for being the first to have the idea (same goes with the component-driven design of react itself, though arguably backbone/marionette views were first), but Nativescript is a much more flexible and easy to use solution.

Doctorow is a smart guy, which is why the weasel words he uses seems disingenuous. For example "machine learning is fundamentally conservative, and it hates change".

Like many have pointed out, this guy is clearly biased. But my own personal opinion is that people will always want drugs and as long as governments enable a black market of drugs, crypto will be used to trade drugs.

>That being said, I would be more amiable to a system that used player skill as a matchmaking tool if it didn't report those numbers to players.

Almost all of these games have an "unranked" mode in matchmaking that doesn't publicly report your rank.

>Hearthstone is a good example here. Hearthstone has brilliant design, but its ladder system is horrible and dumb.

Hearthstone is probably the worst collectible card game I've ever played. The actual gameplay of it is poor and heavily RNG reliant. It's not bad if you put in an inordinate amount of hours into it, because then you'll get a feel for what the opponent likely has and how likely you are to succeed, but this is generally not something you can just easily reason about without an absolute metric ton of experience. That's why net decking is so common - it's too difficult for most players to figure out near-optimal combinations, because they don't have as full of an overview of the game as the experienced players. The search space is just too large.
Do you have any recommended links/reading on this? (better understanding on the tradeoffs)
Not yet, it still lives only on my computer, but the designs are still meh or in best case utilitarian.

> ... finding novel paths of solving the problem at hand ...

This only applies to reinforcement learning (and similar). Classification problems (and similar) are fundamentally conservative, because you feed them with a finite set of preexisting training data that they must extrapolate from.

Check out Kakoune[1] for a different take on an editor’s scripting language. It offloads as much as possible to existing Unix tools such as bash, sort, fmt, etc. It uses a clever system of string substitutions that’s a bit unintuitive at first, but not too difficult to grasp quickly. I spent two weeks trying to fix a bug in a Vim plugin that ended up being a 3 line change. After that I felt like I barely understood just a small section of vimscript.

I ended up switching to Kakoune after trying it for a bit because I realized that in the two weeks of me exploring it I had entirely understood it’s “scripting language”, or at the very least understood how to use the onboard docs to write any plugin I wanted to.

With one medical, many of the practitioners are not doctors, but NPs and such. Some were good as far as I could tell, but others I've used are so so.

Most of the value of one medical was the easy app based scheduling, but since I've realized that something like zocdoc exists, most of it's value has disappeared for me.

Also they don't integrate with things like apple health, while larger hospitals tend to have integration built into them.

Because of that, I'm not very bullish about one medical overall, since a combo of zocdoc + apple health provides most of their benefit, with an expanded set of services available with a set of doctors that are larger than what one medical would provide.
