Exactly. This is for a final exam. The final certification of a whole aircraft type carrying billions of human beings over its lifetime.
I know the chumby devices, and to a lesser extent the Dreamcast have been given a second life due to people reverse engineering and rewriting DNS requests. Those were consumer products with a passionate community around them though.
>You can't have life, love, sorrow, consciousness, wisdom etc. from a bunch of atomic lego blocks working together according to some rules.

All of those are ways we have developed to explain the sensations we have experienced according to those rules.

We act as though we have free will and consciousness because they are the terms we have developed to describe how we think we act. They can not be described by physics because they were theories developed with very poor data available, not truths that need to be described.

>Well, 'us' the 'observer' is obviously not accounted for in the materialist, reductionist view, and yet it's there and we all know it.

"Us" is not an independent observer, we are a part of the universe. The universe can give itself as much meaning as it wants, that doesn't create an external meaning to the universe.
You are completely right, thank you - perf_counter is an even better way to measure the passed time per measurement. I have corrected the usage in the code snippet.

> The effects of increased internet usage

Or perhaps increased internet usage is an effect, not the cause?

I personally think that it's feedback loop of some sort, but not at all scientific to say that one causes the other when all we have from the study is correlation.
Those two aren't even close to being mutually exclusive.
I worked at a company with the same slogan and the same situation. In that case, the team that made the culture code did not have actual buy in from anybody, they just put up a bunch of signs, partially as a passive aggressive rebuke to the perceived jerk. Always felt like culture is the behavior we tolerate, not the virtues we post in culture guides, and tolerance of bad behavior was a weak point of that management team.

All that said, there is often more happening than we know, so I try to keep my own judgmental feelings in check.
We started supporting XLM on solokeys.com, mostly in relation to the keybase airdrop. We figured some people had lumens but didn’t really know what to do with them.

We sold a few keys in lumens. The whole process is still a bit overly complex, but overall we learned a few things in the process so we’re not unhappy. Let’s say it was more fun than a real need.
A college or undergrad university doesn’t teach its students how to excel in a GRE or GMAT. And yet you won’t ever get to self grade yourself on those. An external (hopefully somewhat impartial) organisation does.
You don't seem to have noticed that in concluding "It’s fine for a responsible (read public-sector) technocrat to mine and process your data" you're replying to a quote that explicitly states "and not mining your data".

It's perfectly possible to deliver services using only the data necessary to deliver the service. Selling none of it to advertisers or other third parties, gathering nothing other than that necessary to make the service the best you can provide. Not only would it feel a much more equitable exchange for the customers providing the data, it would no doubt end up with a better service. Adding data mining for sale corrupts every service, as they twist to gather ever more for less, or poorer and poorer results. You become a data cow for the milking.
I think if Go hadn't been already known, it would have been discovered in the twentieth century.

Dozens, if not hundreds, of other abstract games were, and I don't think there are many as simple.

It's not so obvious that anyone would have noticed how good a game it can be.
I think that part is really about himself. He's trying to imagine what the appeal would be if it were him. De Boer is definitely someone for whom the Internet has been bad. He is one of those people who wants to be internet-famous, which causes him to stumble into weird online fights that end with a bunch of total strangers hating him. He quit the internet for several years because one of these fights. I think these days most people have their social circle, even online, and they basically just learn the norms of that circle and stay within it, so they don't have meta-theatrical problems.

By your logic, you are also “free” in an oppressive state like North Korea since you have the option of defying and rebelling against the government. You might win or lose, but you are “free to make that choice”.
Maybe in the same way that some people show off their Hummers.

Because it's not popular, and managers like popular languages because they imply a large supply of fungible programmers. Whether the language is actually powerful (or even useful) is never as important as popularity.

There's many different ones, for the most part it seems particular ones dominate particular cities/countries. I guess it takes a bit of time to build up the relationships and credibility.
I doubt you'd find a business charging that little. $100/month seems to be about the floor for self-storage generally although the space is normally larger.

They do reach out to people they want to urge to apply; the set of people they "want to hire" is pretty small.
I think it is "The City of Women" the writer considers "an ugly display".
As this has been and will be inevitable given the tech, it's not a question of regulation as so many call for. Regulation will just put this tech in a small group of hands to imbalance the power of probably government versus citizen.

The only way to deal with this is to recognize that privacy in public spaces was a temporary concept in society available for a limited period. Allow everyone this information and let the cards fall in a more balanced way. Anything else would be oppression.
You keep it until x days/weeks after the servers are deactivated. Where the emails are going unnoticed, the servers getting cut off usually is noticed straight away. The story here appears to be that the backups were deleted at the same time as the servers.
For the relatively small cost of those who don't subsequently pay up, you get a lot of goodwill from the majority who just messed up.
OK, the actual design of the thing where it just uses suction is incredibly idiotic, but the kid who got free wireless internet for months by taking its sim card - that's pretty brilliant.

Depends. If it is your photo, then you own the copyright and you entirely have the right to set a price or not share it at all (don't click 'I agree' on those TOS)

If it is not your photo, then unless you are a celebrity or otherwise a famous figure the law is quite clear that you do not have any recourse for your photo being used. You must use the courts to determine the valuation of your likeness.

Sure, that looks promising. I'm not holding my breath for The Holy Grail: in an environment where it's been just-around-the-corner for as long as the field exists, there's always another unexpected corner;)
In general I disagree (but would agree with you in certain cases, like something that was doable but gatekept due to cost).

Alot of X's aren't a problem until they can scale. It's not pragmatic to outlaw everything that might be a problem at scale but might never be able to achieve that scale.

We're in an era where we are discovering alot of abuses that could only be classified as an issue due to scale and efficiency.
I agree with the pain point to be solved but let me phrase this pitch another way:

IoTZombieCo: give us x% of your revenue and we’ll acquire you for free when you die. In exchange, you can put our logo on your box as if we’ve already acquired you.

Companies don’t shut down for fun. Usually it means the economics didn’t make sense. Having a large portfolio of failed products wouldn’t change the economics for IoTZombieCo.

The only long-term solution is products that aren’t cloud addicted. Make everything local-first with some progressive (optional) enhancement with cloud functionality that users pay for to keep it sustainable.

Disclaimer: I build local-first IoT products at Hiome (hiome.com)
Very cool, would you say this is like Huginn but in nodejs? Or IFTTT/Zapier but self hosted?
That's not entirely true. The point being made is about the consequences of the design being set up with that notation. That design and that notation is reasonably general. It requires some familiarity with notation around mathematical statistics, modeling, Bayesian formalisms, and random variables.

The thing he's trying to explain is how those things interact and what their behavior is.

"in reverse" is a bit of an understatement for freefall.

It's more that a language and its relative expressive power is not nearly as important to project success as the ecosystem around it. Who can I hire? If I lose them who can I replace them with? What frameworks can we use? How can I get support?
> Seems like a constant gripe about talent shortages but then conflicting stories about how to filter an overwhelming supply of talent.

There's an overwhelming number of applicants. That says nothing about their qualifications.

I don't know what Big Tech's numbers look like, but when I did hiring, the percentage of applicants that were even remotely qualified was usually in the single digits.
Sure, but it helps more to realize once and forever: all the shit anybody says is just a "child's tantrum". Real grown-ups don't behave this way, too many people just don't grow up as they age.
This reminds me of when I was in Hawaii visiting my brother who lived in a high rise building. This was years ago so all I had ever know was the lock and key but his building had key cards and the doors would just unlock with the swipe of a card and you could go to your unit. He explained they are just magnetically locked. I asked well couldn't you just pry them open? We decided to try and sure enough with 2 of use we were able to pull past the strong electromagnet. It didn't really seem overly hard I am sure a strong person could do it alone.
Next, if you really want to time something fast you should probably know about cache. In a modern computer there are levels of memory. For now we’ll say we have 3 levels: cache, ram, and a hard drive. Cache is small but very fast, it is the closest level to the CPU. RAM is bigger but slower and the hard drive is much much slower. Because the cache is small the computer has to pick what’s in it. At program load the cache will be full of information related to whatever was running before you. After you run you will have left some information in the cache which will not need to be fetched from slower levels of memory. Unless your usecase is to run your test code repeatedly very quickly, you should be wary of timing multiple calls in fast sequence as the later calls will execute faster due to the cache being primed to execute your code.
I've generally found Arch to be an excellent distribution for development. It's years since I used Debian but by comparison it used to be a world of pain. Arch runs well on ARM devices; why not try that on the Samsung?
Even if we ban it here in the US, there's nothing stopping adversarial foreign governments from building the same databases, and probably with a lot more computing power and technical expertise.

This isn’t automatic differentiation.

An important feature of auto-diff is that it’s numerically exact. This can be shown in a few lines to be equivalent to finite differencing.

That doesn’t take away from that fact that it’s a neat technique though!

>If Shogi, Checkers, or Stratego weren't human games I wouldn't be surprised to learn them from aliens.

Why do all theories about aliens start with the implication that they're similar enough that they developed the way we did, they think like we do, have similar senses, brain structure and locomotion.

Any aliens that have evolved to any kind of level of intelligence would have done so under the conditions specific to their planet. Given the huge variation of life on Earth over its existence and that humans in their current form, or even animals in their current form, have existed for such a tiny insignificst fraction of time that it seems kind of preposterous to assume aliens elsewhere are anything like us in the slightest.

Humans have problems anthropomorphizing animals as it is, but when it comes to aliens it just seems like everything starts with, well of course they must do the things we do....
The entire "going dark" narrative presupposes that the era of the wiretap is the one true background from which to judge the present. But long before there was a wiretap a warrant was mostly useless for listening in on private conversations because there was nothing to wiretap and nothing to wiretap with.

Was the pre-telephone and pre-microphone era some kind of lawless hell on earth where law enforcement was completely helpless to do anything?
Nice idea! I noticed EU is not currently supported. Are you planning to launch in top European cities soon?
I don't know how else to put it, but the technique suggested in this paper is irreparably incorrect in the setting that it recommends. Attempting to fix a linear least squares fit by removing points with high residuals does not work. Please don't do that: they won't necessarily be the outliers in the dataset and your model will converge to the wrong thing.

Statistics is hard. Like, really really hard. Stuff goes wrong all the time. Please leave it to the experts.

If you're going to do this, please look up the methods behind (for example) robust least squares, outlier detection, L_1 regression, etc. The right way to do this is to start with a small dataset that is with very high probability free of outliers, and slowly grow it by never adding points which have large residuals. (If you've done 3D scan registration and image alignment, this is what RANSAC does.)

The principle is, intuitively, that once an out-of-distribution point gets into your linear model, the model is poisoned forever. You can't trust the model to tell you that the bad points are the outliers. The way this paper does is is irreparably broken, sorry :/

The alternative, tire boots, are equally asinine and more likely to damage the car. These seem fractionally better up to the point where they are hacked. Unessarily connected devices are a liability beyond measure, and it floors me that nobody seems to notice.

Whatever happened to parking permits, parking officers, and parking tickets?
Well, there are pretty convincing examples in other domains: try hardcoding rules to classify animals or objects in photos, especially an algorithm which can handle thousands of different categories. Totally impractical - but if we appropriately design the net and structure the training data, you can train a pretty accurate net on a mid-range GPU in a matter of hours to do what would take far, far longer to hardcode!

Perhaps not quite appropriate to call them heuristics in this context, but the principle is the same - you are leveraging joint probabilities of pixels to generate some conditional output. Similar principle in ML accelerated modeling.
What’s groundbreaking here is not really the technology but rather the marketing: Clearview is selling a relatively cheap product to law enforcement agencies who are desperate to solve cases at the lowest cost.

I think we (both here at HN and in the larger society) have this perception that police departments, etc., are part of a well-organized hierarchy of well-considered processes and technology that start at the FBI/NSA/etc and works its way down, all carefully vetted for technical and ethical standards, and disclosed to the public who is ostensibly their employer.

The reality that I’ve seen is quite different. As the article points out, individual police departments (and their officers!) often independently research and procure services, based on hearsay and questionable morals. Does the service help ‘get the bad guys’? Then it’s good. Does the service obviously violate copyright and ToS agreements? Not our problem.

I learned this when I built a scrappy little website for a one-man company who builds training kits for first responders. As low-tech as this site was (e.g., ordering the product entailed sending a purchase order by postal mail) I was struck by the apparent success of my client’s product: he had dozens of endorsements by apparently top-level influencers in the field, and didn’t have much competition. There were some certifications that he matched, but it didn’t seem all that hard to sell a few thousand dollars of technology to small/mid-level LEOs. (This isn’t a criticism of his product, which seemed fine and certainly didn’t involve privacy or surveillance technology.) The numbers in the article about Clearview’s services are in the same range — easy to justify if it’s only a few thousand a year and apparently produces good results.

The Secretive Company That Might End Privacy as We Know It
Same-origin policy prevents that specific attack, although the same idea exists if you’re not protected from DNS rebinding on localhost, and `--bind 127.0.0.1` (or some other way to block the port) is necessary – but the Pythons’ built-in HTTP servers aren’t vulnerable to path traversal anyway.
I don't buy that the training set is any good.

In the US, there used to (~1980s) be plenty of storage
lockers at bus depots, train stations, and airports.

The gradual awareness in the US of the possibilities of terrorism
- UNABOM, the NI/IRA "Troubles", the 1993 WTC bombing, and
similar - gradually drove out most such anonymous-user
lockers, and after
9/11 they tended to be blocked off or removed more quickly,
even as people still had interest in cost-effective
short-term storage. Current arrangements seem to want
an existing relationship (overnight guest) or a paper
trail (ID + credit card).

Package storage in NTC vehicles allows the possibility
of having multiple devices being summoned to one or more
specific locations at specific times. What could possibly go wrong?

Sales? I have a couple of friends who were educated as computer engineers, but like you coding was not their preference. They coded a bit in their junior years and then transitioned into sales and both now lead sales teams at Google and seem happy. It does appear (to me), as a higher pressure environment, especially when you are "paying your dues" early on. But that's just my impression as someone that would not be comfortable in a role like that.
Nura, a young Australian company that sells smart headphones, blocked my pair in a vain way to circumvent banking agreements in case of fraud. They are mixing their terms of use with their terms of sell and reserve the right to brick your device anytime they want: in other words they reserve the right to ban you from their service (which in fact is a calibration service) but do it in in such a way they basically trash your property rights away.

I find that if you go to a high-end hotel and tell them you're not checking in until tomorrow but would like them to hang onto your luggage for the day until you meet a friend that you're staying with tonight, they'll do it for you. Given the low cost to them, doesn't make sense to try to check your story at the risk of upsetting an actual guest.
