As an anthropologist you are in theory studying humans from out of a shared cultural context and it is easy to argue that a machine which hasn't even the slightest semblance of a shared cultural context would not be capable of distinguishing a twitch from a wink with 100% reliability. Not all human gestures are universal either so even if you trained your AI to read faces it would likely be trained on a small subset of human cultures and would produce varying results. In regards to the greater question of knowing intention I'd agree that algorithms do a much poorer job of guessing my intention than me directly communicating it and I am annoyed that so much of our on-line communication is filtered by algorithmic social engagement that an encourages shallow interactions.

We love JSON logs and previously just sent most of it to systemd's journald and use a custom tool to view them. But maybe a year ago Grafana released https://github.com/grafana/loki and we've been using it on https://oya.to/ ever since.

IIRC, the recommended way to integrate it with Grafana is via promtail but we weren't too keen on the added complexity of yet-another service in the middle so we developed a custom client library in Go to just send the logs straight to Loki (which we should probably open source at some point).

I don't think there's any fancy graph integration yet, but the Grafana explore tab with log level/severity and label filtering works well enough esp. since they introduced support for pretty printed JSON log payloads.
It's unclear if it handles logs from sources other than browsers and node?

I'm submitting this because long term pain is sometimes discussed on HN, and there's confusion about how it's treated and the reasons for that. This is often seen in threads that talk about opioid misuse.

I wanted people who care about this to see this guidance as it's being developed.

NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) produces evidence-based advice for English health and social care providers. People can expect their providers to be following the guidance (although there's not much in the way of enforcing it).
Useful, thanks
I wouldn't expect an effective response unless or until there is a mainstream estimate of the economic cost of climate change that would exceed the amount necessary to motivate action applied to the cost of energy.

Are you aware of one? Like, I'm saying, (1) what is the price of energy that would reduce CO2 output enough to "effectively" address warming, and (2) what is the source that says the annual net cost of not addressing the climate in several decades is more than the yearly cost of killing demand at the price in (1)?

This seems like a very important question no matter what you think the answer should be, because it would affect strategy for addressing climate change. Is effectively stopping climate change a matter of better accounting, or of changing what billions of people value and how much?
> If you did harm then being motivated by your morality or religion doesn't justify what you did.

All morality results in harm. Good does harm to evil - that's the point. Now what is good and what is evil? It's different from people to people, culture to culture. Not only that, it changes with time.

Honestly, I'd recommend trying Google's AutoML. I'm not a shill or employee at all, I've just had really great luck with it identifying my cats (each by name) with only a small amount (couple hundred, low thousands) labeled frames.

In my case it probably used transfer learning on like a resnet-150 or inception or something. Regardless, it approaches the limits of what an expert in machine learning can accomplish, so you'll know very quickly whether you need higher quality video / yellow vests.

The problems of appropriate policing in so-called "high crime" neighborhoods are well understood. Many academic studies, as well as popular non-fiction like Jill Leovy's Ghettoside and Chris Hayes' Colony in a Nation, have discussed the issue. To sum up the literature in a few sentences, the problem is that minority neighborhoods are both overpoliced and underpoliced. There are a lot of useless arrests for minor crimes like jaywalking which makes the residents of these neighborhoods hostile to the police. (These arrests are driven by the debunked theory of broken window policing.) Simultaneously, there's not enough effort put into solving serious crimes like murder. In this context, the actual effect of predictive policing is that it ends up doing more of the useless over-policing, which unfortunately makes these neighborhoods even worse.

So, how does this relate to your question? The point is that predictive policing is solving the wrong problem. What's needed are not more accurate neural nets predicting crime, but techniques for addressing the underly sociological factors that cause crime.

Taking a step back and speaking broadly, Cory's point is that the focus on data and quantitative analysis is causing problems in two ways: (i) people are using quantitative methods to solve the wrong problems, and (ii) they seem to be oblivious to (and in some cases actively hostile to acknowledging) the harms being perpetrated by their methods. Both of these problems seem to be driven by a lack of understanding of well understood (but non-quantitative) social science literature.
Sure, I'm all for a key based solution. My opposition is against using biometrics for anything beyond convenience features.

Yes technology has made cool gadgets for consumption, but that isn't what wealth is about. From Wikipedia: "Wealth is the abundance of valuable financial assets or physical possessions which can be converted into a form that can be used for transactions."

Depends on who's being spammed and what kind of techniques the phishing site employs to resist safebrowsing. Single-use links and various browser fingerprinting techniques are common and fairly effective.

Beyond that it comes down to who's being spammed, with the right demographics your link could last very long without being reported by anyone.

I hack phishing sites for fun, anything between 0-500 hits seems common for the type of phishing seen in the OP (mostly depending on the quality of the leads).

The "graphical user interface" bit is weird. I suppose you are fine if the software is driven entirely by keyboard shortcuts.
So image recognition APIs like ones provided by AWS and GCP should be affected by this due to #2 and #3, no? Or the “provides a graphical user interface” part applies to all points?

No, the idea is to not force everyone to have a complete copy of the blockchain. This is already the case as most use light wallets or SPV wallets.

"Decentralization" is a means to an end. Not everyone have to run a full node, as long as there's enough.

It's amusing that LN is touted as a solution, since decentralized routing is an unsolved problem, meaning that LN will be more centralized than what it's supposed to solve.

From a nostalgic point of view, I agree. Browsing, interacting, and being critical of suppliers are all important things to take into account. But, from an economic point of view, I disagree. The market has chosen the better course. I can browse online, without wandering isles; I already know what I'm looking for. I can read other customers questions and reviews; can't do that in stores. I can see how other customers have reviewed the seller; Fry's has never offered that. They don't make, nor sell, buggy whips anymore. Fry's is just another iteration of that effect. It has not followed market optimization, so it has failed.

No, it doesn't. For instance, at a place I worked at, we wanted to build a particular ad tech product to reinforce strength in a different area. The correct answer to "how do we make this faster" was "buy the guys who do it and then integrate via a bunch of CSVs on GCS and some RPC". We canned our forays into the space and bought them. Less work for all the engineers and data scientists. More work for M&A but they like doing that so it's not upsetting.

At a more granular level, in a different project, the answer to "how do we develop this faster" was "lose these requirements, and just use AWS services for those". Less work in total.

The Lightning Network is a pipedream of ivory tower developers. People who think LN can scale Bitcoin into a global currency rivaling USD and EUR either don't understand LN or are lying on purpose.

Fact is that each LN "channel" needs a committed amount of Bitcoin that can only be withdrawn by closing the channel. If you want your Bitcoins "secured" in you wallet, you need to close the channel. Otherwise you will - by design - have to constantly monitor the LN for malicious actors trying to withdraw you funds from your channels - which by the way is also only possible with an extremely reliable internet connection. Ultimately it's only possible to "secure" your funds against malicious actors by closing the channel. This leads to nice DoS attack vectors, see below.

Opening and closing a channel requires an on-chain transaction. This means when you only calculate with the US population, you need at least ~700 million on-chain transactions per month, assuming people get paid once a month, which is absolutely underestimating reality. Also assuming business don't trade with each other.

Assuming 7 transactions per second for the Bitcoin network (which in reality is much closer to 3 by the way), you get 7×60×60×24×30 = 18,144,000 transactions per month. So LN cannot even serve 5% of the US.

Reading the LN white paper should give you an idea on how bad it is when you compare it to reality and how people are actually using money.
When they had the cryptography restriction, I’m pretty sure it was still ok in Canada to export it. That’s why OpenBSD is based in Calgary.
I didn't really use many external resources during development, most of the time I'm just "winging it" and acting towards a goal that I have in my mind. Coming up with a naive solution first, then trying to optimize it a bit in my head, then writing the code for it.

Angeldust's physics are relatively straightforward since it's based on a voxel grid. All game world intersections are approximated using axis-aligned bounding boxes (AABBs). I wrote the physics engine myself from scratch to reduce the number of game world data lookups, because that's pretty much the hot path in the code.

In the YouTube video from my earlier comment you can see that initially I started out with just game world boundary clipping and simple plane physics on the checkerboard. As I expanded my game world model, the physics engine grew along. So my advice would be (again) to start simple and grow from there. You'll do fine!
Well, first, "censorship-resistant" doesn't imply "censorship-proof".

Second, I don't think we can conclude what would happen if China tried to censor.

China certainly has 51% attack capability against Bitcoin, but the only implication that of that which is clear to me is that they could potentially execute double-spends. Using 51% attack capability to orphan transactions is different.

With a double spend, there's two transactions, both signed with the same key, and no way to determine which is valid (which came first). There's no source of truth for that information.

With an orphaned block, there's only one transaction signed with the key, so you have a single source of truth. You know the transaction exists, and at some point (i.e. after a certain number of blocks), if the transaction isn't included in the chain, you can conclude with reasonable certainty that the transaction is being intentionally orphaned. This allows you to reject the chain that doesn't include the transaction as invalid, and choose the longest chain that does include it. We already don't blindly follow the longest chain: for example, blocks that are improperly formatted are already rejected.

This would, of course, having different criteria for what is considered a valid block would cause fork in the currency. There would be the Chinese censored branch and the uncensored branch everyone else is using. But for a lot of reasons, I think people would be unwilling to trade as much traditional currency for the Chinese censored currency as they would for uncensored Bitcoin.

I think your 1 & 2 aren't worries really: most cities are small, and experience shows that weather isn't really an object (central/northern europe has the bicycling capitals).
People are much less finicky about outdoors activities in non-optimal weather in places that don't have californian weather :)

We don't necessarily need an one-size-fits-all solution to fix traffic emissions, it's fine if people in different cities end up doing different things.
Numbers don't match though. It looks like there is physically not enough money to buy everything that is sold. For example:

- There is a ballpark estimate that sum of all physical money in the world is 90.4$ trillion, let's distribute it equally to all 7.53 billion people: we get 12k$ per person. This is not enough to buy an apartment in most parts of the world.

- There is an estimate that 1% has 303.9$ billion, let's distribute it equally to US population of 327.2 million people: we get 928$ per person. Barely enough to buy status smartphone.

So I don't see how wealth distribution can solve anything. Even if we equalize wealth and prices at a same time, free market will quickly spiral down to similar pricing that we have today (things are barely purchasable, or not at all).
I'd be interested in how you would do NLP tasks such as those now done with transformers like gtp2 and Bert by working with multi variate normal distributions.

I disagree with number 2, but you might quibble about what 'job losses due to automation' really means, what is 'ai automation' vs regular automation. There aren't any travel agents hardly, it didn't take AGI to remove them, it just took making looking through flights and buying them with the web easy.

Similarly, it looks like wall street already has job losses from automating trading. Is that an ai automation? The problem is you could label any job losses due to automating things as not ai, even though actual jobs will continue to be replaced more and more by computers. Have you seen the mcdonald's where you order it yourself instead of using a panel, there must have been fewer people hired to take orders there.
Now imagine doing crowd control. 10 frames per second, 100k people, if you need just 1 second to recognize a face, you’ve just saturated your 1m human-AI. The point of digital AI is that it can scale, almost indefinitely.

Unless you manage large enterprise IT - not much. Do the usual things: ensure backups are running, update software. For a consumer, it doesn't matter if their laptop stopped working because of spilled water, or someone hacking them, and the steps to recovery are the same.

Larger orgs, especially related to infrastructure or national services may be specifically targetted. They know what their weak points are. Phishing, DoS, customer information leaks, ... But what they're afraid of and how they deal with that is going to be specific to their systems. I guess the only common thing for "brace for cyber warfare" is - talk to your peers about weird new things you see.

"Patrolling" is pretty vague, the concern is primarily about groundless stopping, searches, arrests and shooting of suspects. It is discrimination if e.g. groundless searches are done at higher rates on people with a certain ethnicity, since presumed innocent individuals of any ethnicity should be treated equally and with the same rights.

Stopping cars just because of the skin color of the driver is not "perceived as racist", it is racist, since you are treating people worse due to their race.

>How do you make good decisions?

Good decisions come from wisdom. Wisdom comes from making bad decisions. Just make the decisions and learn from that. That's my interpretation of the post.

I sometimes do projects to learn new tools, and sometimes just to try to make something I want to play with. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. But a couple of years later I might come back and revisit it with new knowledge and perspectives.

It's easy to get lost in the labyrinth of second-system syndrome and analysis paralysis and not really do the thing at all. Maybe better to do it with tech debt and sort it out later if it's worth it, and if not then learn from that. But still with a focus on the goals, not the means to get there.
