Ctrl+f shows no mention of the study of post-processing quantization nor pruning on their tampered dataset.

Overall, I instinctively think that one can create an NN architecture that is not affected, or even easily detect the tampered pictures with a pre processing pass, and untamper them.

NN are actually fuzzy, they support noise, you could add a bit more noise in the dataset to defeat the "radioactiveness".

Java dominates, also because that's the main source of engineering capacity.

There are some notable exceptions though. E.g. invokedynamic from JVM 7 was only really used for Java starting at 8 (with the introduction of lambdas), and was partially introduced to better support dynamically typed languages like Ruby on the JVM.

The languages do benefit from JVM improvements. Scala 2.12 had a significant speed-up due to native lamba support from JVM 8, and if project valhalla ever lands you can bet all JVM languages will be happy to use it.

> calibrated and robust uncertainty estimates NOT low quality and uncalibrated uncertainties estimates.

Could you explain what you mean by “calibrated” and briefly summarize the essential idea behind what allows the learning of robust uncertainty estimates, if not a causal understanding?

If you haven’t already, look up work by Scholkopf, Janzing , Peters and co (over the last decade) for a justification of why causal reasoning is exactly what you want if you want to generalize across covariant earth/dataset shift (which is basically what the Google blog post is about).
As a total layman to developing kernel extensions, is this another example of apple limiting what you can do with their hardware, or just an effort to get developers to modernize how they make drivers for macOS?
It should be! The book mostly focuses on how to apply ML in practical concepts, and less about the internal workings of ML methods.

I tried to explain the vast majority of ML concepts that I mention in the book. If you'd like to dive deeper into ML theory, I have a list of recommended books in the preface (included in the PDF preview).

One thing to understand, from a meditative pov, society and its industry is unconscious Ego dynamics. Its full of projection, and mostly people playing out unresolved trauma.

The unconscious Ego is mostly good at choose(Like, Dislike) and has very little regard for the human underneath, since, especially in form of an Institution/Company, it cant see its own humanity.

This is why people sound authentic in person, but start to act out draconian aggression fantasies as a collective, which starts with the creeping disenchantment - Alot like many and most young human relationship.

There's no time-asymmetry in the statement "There's so many more higher entropy states than lower entropy states", so one can't deduce a time-asymmetric statement like "Entropy increases as time goes forwards" from it. If I call two states S1 and S2, with S2 at a later time than S1, then BOTH are likely to be high-entropy, and neither has any particular reason to be higher entropy than the other, just by virtue of this paucity of low-entropy states reasoning.

Even more: though Iran is a very lucrative target for looting (lots of oil and advantageous geographic location), US doesn't have the courage to invade and colonize it. Although Iran does not have nuclear weapons or any other kind of wmd.

There's also the question of long-term sustainability. Groovy was very cool and popular in 2010. Ten years later, Groovy is still in the production codebase while the language is essentially dead.

I personally wouldn't go for anything but Java (on JVM, that is) for anything that isn't a pet project.
One of the reason to not consider Kotlin would be lack of resources. We run Kotlin services on Production at work and whole writing and reading Kotlin is so much better than Java, finding ways to do things still means having to fall back on Java examples.

There are still resources available for Kotlin + Android development but non Android resources are very few.

The plus side is because of the First Class Support in Intellij Idea for Kotlin, I can always take Java snippets and have the IDE convert them to Kotlin.

You're misreading because the sentence is unclear possibly because the author doesn't know much about market structure.

My past experience overseeing large Gov't system upgrade/replacement projects I can say this: A major issue is that the business/user community not only have little/no expertise in business re-engineering they are also extremely resistant to change. Many times this means that requirements are vague and generally just regurgitate what processes are currently in place - rarely are they truly wire-brushed to be as efficient as possible.

I recall one fairly large project where the Director of an affected agency would nix any changes that affected their agency. Period. Status quo was sacrosanct.

Part of the equation is that the staff have a very strong union and very few in Gov't are willing to make any change that will impact unionized staff (i.e. becoming more efficient is frowned upon).

Combine all of this with the (fairly opaque) hidden agenda of consulting agencies to keep the project going for as-long-as-possible and it's just a recipe for disaster.

Always was and always will be.

Java isn't the terrible language it used to be before Java8. Especially with Lombok it feels very lean and snappy. There are still some functional sheanigans missing but they're coming. Sometimes I wish it were less verbose, but I also think it's good to be very explicit about what you're doing.
Which is strongly misleading tradeoff. For a ton of tasks, deep learning methods are no better than white box regression or tree ensemble methods.

And there is no reason to expect that a deep learning model has to be unexplainable. He’s putting up a mystical interpretability vs accuracy tradeoff which does not exist.

There is a ton of research out there making deep neural networks (slightly to significantly interpretable)

> Are there any details about DriverKit that are available?

Yes, they're on the documentation site. Here's NetworkingDriverKit:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkingdriverki...

With the fancy new userspace networking stack, I wouldn't assume that a DriverKit implementation is necessarily slower. At least compared to the old networking stack.

(It says it's meant to be used "to develop drivers for USB Ethernet adapter", but I don't believe there's anything specifically tying it to USB. DriverKit currently doesn't support PCI access; I don't know if that's coming, but the PCI APIs for kexts are not deprecated, so at minimum you could write a kext just to map the device into userspace.)
Power of attorney can be used for some international tax dodging schemes - laws are inconsistent on which of the two people must pay/report the tax, and by doing that across a country border, you can avoid the tax without anyone breaking the law.

Well, apple makes the hardware, so they would typically make the drivers as well. From what I read and understood is that without being able to load own extensions you can only do whatever Apple allowed you to do.

It could be compared to changes that Chrome plans (or already introduced?) to restrict extensions that filter sites which affect adblockers and you're at mercy of Google what you can block and what you cannot.

Similarly here, you will only be able to hook to interfaces Apple provided, but if you plan to do something that wasn't thought of, or Apple does not approve, tough luck.

> Stack is hot in cache. Heap memory in tlab is cold.

What? This doesn't make any sense. From the cache's POV stack and bump-allocated heap are the same thing. Both are continuous chunks of memory where the next value is being allocated right after the previous one.

The only difference between the stack and the bump-allocated heap is that the former has hardware support for pointer bumping and the latter has not. That's all.

If you were ever involved in the drug discovery process, then you would know that statistical evidence through clinical trials is only for the last ounce of drug testing. Out of 10,000+ drug molecule candidates only ~ 5 molecules get selected for clinical trials. A lot of molecules are removed as candidates for toxic components/ solubility issues/ chemical stability issues etc.

So even when we do not understand the precise impact of drugs on humans and there is no safer mechanism to test, we leave only 0.5% of candidate molecules to empirical/statistical evidence in the form of clinical trials.

On the other hand if drug discovery was treated as a pure AI problem, we would have thousands of unverified and unsafe molecules in clinical trials.

Causal principles get us to 99.5% of the way in drug discovery. Unfortunately not so in AI.
You hear this attitude all the time on HN, but never see any kind of disruption happening. After working with big companies (in many ways not so different from governments) and also a few government agencies I feel like "this is all corrupt, so we cannot do anything" is mostly a cop out, so people don't have to accept that maybe they were a bit naive when they ran around "this is all needlessly complicated, it could all be so much better and more simple!" and maybe the complexity is there for a reason.

Yes DriverKit allows writing network card drivers.

I was toying with trying to port the Linux Mellanox ConnectX drivers to macOS to avoid having to pay 2-3x the price for ATTO FastFrame cards. You need a special entitlement from Apple to sign network csrd drivers though.

FWIW I can only get about 60Gbps out of the ATTO FastFrame on macOS versus easily 98Gbps for Mellanox ConnectX on Linux.

There is tremendous potential in Immuno-Oncology. I worked with umbilical cord blood [hematopoietic stem cell] transplants and this area really has tremendous potential for tech that only started being used in the late 80s to 90s. IMO much of the immediate potential for progress in software development will be with the legal and ux itself of ten tech though. Apart from a few companies the software is old, buggy, and has not or will be very slowly updated.

One idea that comes to mind is making vastly improved LIMS and electronic patient recodkeeping software, as what is presently being used [bbcs] is from the 80s although this could be accomplished with just a front end written for it.
