> Maybe lack of visual hallucinations make it less likely someone would get to the point of a test at all?

(I am not a psychologist!)

Visual hallucinations are not a hard criterion for diagnosing schizophrenia. They do occur, but the symptoms are more about delusions, disorganised thinking and catatonic symptoms. IIRC hallucinations are more often auditory, like hearing voices.
Does aphantasia have any impact?
Hmm, 906 million for 66 million people = 13.7 pounds/capita.

Romania does it for 1/3 of that, 84 million Euro for 20 million people = 4.2 Euro/capita.

There's a breakdown of how it's done and the spending, too:

Makes sense though.
The problem there is that you then have a struct populating the namespace, which means it’s an entity to track, something to think about, something which populates autocomplete buffers. That’s not necessarily terrible, but it does impose complexity that simple keyword arguments do not.

Calling it a religion makes about as much sense as calling efforts to cure AIDS or vaccinate Polio prior to the success of Salk a religion. There is a clear and obvious good to achieve, one which is theoretically implementatable and has predecessors for success. Reality can only disagree if it is outright proven impossible due to something - say in this counterfactual Polio has a 5% of turning any unique adjacent molecule it into more polio. otherwise they are literally Just like how taking the spit of a polio patient and putting it in saline with a sprig of mint will spread instead of vaccinating but it doesn't prove a polio vaccine is impossible because "we tried and people got sick".

It is clearly a goal and a realistic one within even a few decades pessimisitcally given that its ability is creeping upwards.

Sure. But we are aware of the concept.

The biggest problem with telephones that still persists even today, is that you can only hang up on somebody once. Anybody who can solve that problem is bound to revolutionize communication as we know it.
Isn't that just "image de-obfuscation" though? Seems like narrow AI will be able to out-class humans at that in no time. You can generate as much training data for that as you want. Doesn't really require human-type intelligence. Though I guess you might mean that the obfuscation makes the edge cases even harder, which makes sense.
The most annoying thing about it is the short expiry time.

I'm using a wildcard certificate so my internal services can be accessed without resorting to installing a self-singed CA cert on all my devices. I've set up a script to renew it every month but unfortunately distributing the resulting certificate to all internal services is proving difficult. There is no simple way to update the cert in my managed switches or the IPMI interface on my servers without resorting to custom scripts to upload it via the web interface.

If it was a once-a-year job I could do it manually, but these certificates need to be regularly replaced which makes it a PITA.
Some language-specific build systems get their ability to work with the online repositories deliberately broken.
Yeah, i looked for something like that to keep next to the phone but couldn't find anything. I was sure they used to be a thing. What you _can_ get however are little kits you wire up inside the pulse dial phone which do an on the fly pulse to DTMF conversion.
Or the journal editor, you definitely should. This is the kind of thing that can easily get cited in future work on the matter.
I think this went quite constant. The main change is that in the first years I could work a ton of stuff 1 month, zero the next month, and now is instead more smoothed evenly.
I hope so. I've personally tested Scale's labeling service and it was much higher quality than this dataset. But it's a pretty secretive industry so I'd bet some companies' data is better than others.

It'd be interesting if the NHTSB had a held-back "test set" they used to evaluate self driving cars before letting them on the road.
Adrian does a great job in summarizing the Let's Encrypt paper. He highlights all the important sections and gives the reader the complete overview of the system. Thanks for the summary.
Congestion problems are dramatically alleviated if you can convert your city over to self driving only. Once the cars can drive in platoons they are packed in tight, no more accordion effect.

On the way something like UberPool would be needed. Or the taxi can just drive me to the nearest train station and I can take mass transit into the city.

European Union recommended emergency number is "112". Because you can morse it with the hook or even by short-circuitin the wires. This is also why the pulse-dialing receiver is operational in most EU countries.
Large organizations function very poorly in a lot of respects. They're also the only way to get a lot of things done. In a lot of ways, it is often a bit surprising to me that large companies can coordinate activities to come out with useful outputs. On the other hand, there are clearly inefficiencies that don't exist with a 10-person startup.
I think that’s not really the right way to put it. Rather, go offers UTF-8 strings and byte slices, with a simple typecast in either way, with various keywords and functions to DTRT to each. One still must worry about encoding & decoding if one doesn’t want UTF-8, and one must worry about invalid UTF-8 in a byte slice when casting, but in general Go does what one would expect with a minimum of fuss.
It is, and there are some interesting techniques published recently to help mitigate things like this. But if you don't have a good ground truth you're at the very least flying blind and at worst feeding garbage in and getting garbage out; your models will learn what you tell them to learn.
Indeed I was talking about prime factors. I understood your point later last night and it is certainly valid. I quite do not understand the original paper though.
And they still haven't fixed the bug that doesn't let you drag and drop to rearrange the songs in your 'Spotlight' list on your profile in Chrome. I reported it about 6 years ago, and repeatedly re-report it at least every 12 months. Hopefully some of this $75M goes towards a competent javascript programmer for their frontend.
it is probably not a math mistake since, when they applied the probability the 620 people is correct. Might be a typesetting (formatting) mistake. The 0.0002 is already a percent, but someone overlooked that and turned it again into percent.

Still it should definitely be corrected as the 2 out of 10,000 is a value that sticks in the mind.
Weirdly, as ChrisRR points out, they get the total number of predicted blind + scizophrenic people in the US correct. So it almost looks like more of a typo than a math error.

But still.
That was an arithmetic error. It’s 2 out of 1,000,000.
I knew an early mobile phone adopter in the 80's who made a converter plug for his car phone, and plugged in an old black classical AT&T dial phone that he could make and receive calls on. Every time he drove over a bump with the car, the bell on the phone would ding.
> 2. Some bad guy from the same IP network sent spam (although GMail error message specifically states that spam was sent by this exact IP address, not an address from the same network).

This is the most likely situation. If a VPS provider is sufficiently cheap, it will attract the wrong people, who will then get the entire VPS provider's IP blocks blacklisted.

It's a shame, but it's the reality. There are lots of discussions around this subject on various mailing lists, where people from the likes of Gmail have chimed in stating as much.

I would reckon it takes as little as 10% of the addresses in a /24 (so ~25 IPs) to get that entire netblock blacklisted.

If you want a higher probability of clean IPs, you need to be using a provider that is sufficiently expensive to not attract spammers.

Either that, or you need your own IPs.
> More reasons to trust Mozilla?

I think Cliqz incident and Shield Studies AR Game incident prove that you can trust Mozilla as much as any other huge corp.
I know, that's not my point, I'm saying the barrier may be that a blind schizophrenic person may not even be aware that there's anything seriously wrong or worth bringing to a doctor's attention, so he would never get to the point of a psych evaluation.
Yes, that is only slightly offset by being able to unfriend someone multiple times.
I agree with all but one of your points, and they're all well made.

However, by saying "AI is stochastical gradient descent optimization" you're equating AI with Machine Learning/Deep Learning.

The list of AI technologies also includes things like Artificial Life, Genetic Algorithms, Biological Systems Modeling, and Semantic Reasoning.

I suspect that when we get true AI, i.e. Strong AI or Artificial General Intelligence, we will achieve it through a combination of these techniques made to work together.
I am a big proponent for non-profit but I think they can be risky if they are dependent on donors, especially a few donors.

Mozilla Foundation has google as it’s biggest revenue source [0], so if Google ever decides to change this it will cripple the org.

I think this would be different if revenue came from many donors so this risk would be lower.

I use FireFox and support Mozilla, but it’s challenging to donate to FireFox as Mozilla runs quite a few projects.

Nobody is perfect, but non-profits have risks like any organization.

Not the OP but mawk wasn't really a thing in the 90s. Although the project was started in the mid 90s it only really saw a year of development before it languished unmaintained until 2009.
In that case, couldn't you use your toeprint or something?
But OP is making the opposite assumption here - that cycling is riskier. Which, keeping all other factors constant, seems intuitively correct to me since you go at a higher speed and you are on the road with cars rather than on the sidewalk.
> personal cars in transportation.

the EPA[1] says 4.6 metric tons of co2 from an average car. There were[2] 1bn cars in service globally, as of 2010.

“It has been estimated that just one of these container ships, the length of around six football pitches, can produce the same amount of pollution as 50 million cars."[3]

1bn/50m = 20 cargo ships equal the estimated world carbon footprint of automobiles.

There are 50,000 cargo ships globally. There's your problem, go nuclear or go home.

I love StrongTowns. They do a great service in bringing many different political dispositions together for common, practical goals of simply better living.

Often times, what they advocate for can be championed by Distributists, Libertarians, and Socialists alike. Because usually what divides these camps is mostly questions of scale and not the actual end goals.

I stopped liking soundcloud when I realized that 99.999999% of my followers are bots. I dont need a bunch of followers that mean nothing. I would rather have 0 than 100 fake followers.

I've never built a self driving car but if I were to give it a go, identifying what's in a frame would be the first step I'd tackle. From there you'd add more layers to the stack to get a full understanding of the world, predict what will happen next temporally, and then choose which actions to take.
And why do you think this whole "interest based" business exists?
Of course it was harmful, you were focusing on the wrong thing. The point of having methods with no more than [insert number] lines isn't because having a method with more than [insert number] lines is inherently bad. It's because long methods are usually an indication that the method is breaking the single responsibility principle. I get the impression that a bunch of programmers read Robert Martin's work, put no thought into what he was saying about short methods, concluded that the line count was the problem, and began proliferating that idea.

To give you an example, when using Java's stream functionality, I tend to insert every method call in the chain after stream() in a new line, for readability:

...
entityIds.stream()
.map()
.filter()
.collect();
...

When I scan the method to see if it should be broken down, the fact that this code occupies 4 lines doesn't really contribute much to my decision to refactor the method into several methods, because those 4 lines are accomplishing one thing.
wait...
is this math error in the actual article? or just in the vice text?
Flying cars might or might not happen (see other discussions here). However they will never be more than a niche. Airplanes need far more safety space than cars. For a car you need a few dozen meters to the cars front and back, and less than 1 side to side. For airplanes it is thousands of meters in all directions, and you are limited as to height before you run out of atmosphere. So even thought planes run in 3d space, there is in practice less space for them than the few roads in a city.
Datashine is probably the best representation of the previous (2011) UK census data:

https://datashine.org.uk

I’m somewhat amused sibling comments have been downvoted for pointing out the demographic shift these censuses illustrate, reason enough imo to think the decision to end them could be more political than from a concern for what they might cost.

Peter Thiel after all predicts the future for European countries is to end up as either surveillance or Islamic states, something I’m guessing the natives would neither take kindly to nor be too comfortable knowing the likely consequence of this for their offspring. This is the elephant in the room & the deciding factor that led to the Brexit vote, & you can pick any of Angela Merkels recklessness, Daves dodgy timing or the Saudi / Turkish / UAE funding of mosques that encourage next to no mixing or liberalisation of this demographic to thank for that.
Isn't it surprising that the government cannot send a text message to whole population:

>There's a reason why places like Germany don't want Tesla to use the term 'autopilot' because it's reckless endangerment.

If Tesla weren't a US company I'm sure they'd have already been sued for billions for labeling their assisted driving system autopilot.

The US is the country where you can pay millions for not having a sticker on the microwave showing that you shouldn't dry your cat in there.
Yes, though you also have to consider default values as a possible source of error.

> If I took an AES library and changed the order of some inner loop wouldn't it require extensive statistical analysis to notice the difference?

Unless you knew why it was organized the way it is in the original spec, altering it may weaken it. The DES S-boxes were altered by the NSA and everyone was suspicious, but it turns out they had made things stronger:

Turns out the NSA was (at the time) over a decade ahead in crypto knowledge than the public.

As it stands, AES is approved for even TOP SECRET labelled information:

Three Reasons to Switch to Angle Bracket Syntax in Ember
Well it depends on your circumstances. If you care so much about performance in the code path that you do benchmarks to find out how you should be doing your error handling, then you should not be using exceptions.

Even if the metadata is loaded after the first time, the error handling code will probably still need to be fetched from disk.

Most programs are not performance critical and you can use whatever you want for exception handling. Heck, modern microservice based architectures use message busses and network sockets for error handling. I have seen code signal error conditions by writing things to a database.

By the way: Syscalls have become amazingly fast. Some syscalls like gettimeofday are now even done without switching to kernel mode at all. And the raw kernel mode switch is now in the order of hundreds of cycles. I read something like 300 cycles for a modern architecture.

Also note that while regular performance is probably not so important, in some areas like hard real-time requirements for automotive or aviation it might still be relevant that your code has a predictable maximum latency.
Why not 111? That would have been even easier to manually-pulse dial.

'I'm thinking now of renting an office but instead in the residential area I live in (think 2-5 minutes drive, 10 max)...'

I have been on a similar journey and now rent an office in small town centre (10 minutes drive from home). It gives me the discipline to work set hours and also the freedom to walk around where other people are going about their business so I don't feel isolated. It's also useful for shops, cafes, bars (for after work) and such.

No solution is ever going to be ideal but this is the nearest I have come so far.
AI is not stochastical gradient descent optimization; neural nets are; but AI is bigger than that - planning, deduction, game theory and so on. You can find out buy buying and reading a text book.
