I think the cat is out of the bag. There's enough public datasets and published methodologies that are relatively simple to implement, that quite usable facial recognition software is within the bounds of an undergraduate homework project. Sure, IBM can probably make it more accurate, but nonetheless, if somebody wants to make a tool that does e.g. ethnic profiling, then they can do it without the help of IBM, the techniques for solving similar vision tasks are known and people who can do it are widespread.
Yeah, "explains" is rather strong, but "pseudoscientific mysticism" is straight-up harsh. It's an inevitably subjective way to organize the world of human behavior and motivation. Like colors themselves, which reside just as much in our internal perception of the world as they do in objective physical processes.
Half Life 2 Leak Explained
It's more than 0.01% honest/hard-working people. You have:

* Grad students who will never make tenure.

* Lifelong adjuncts / post-docs who are staying there because they won't play the game.

* Older faculty from a different era.

* Etc.

It's enough that at this point, I find all research from my alma mater suspect unless I've personally reviewed it or know the PI personally. But there's a pretty large honest portion too.
comments like this make me want to ask for a downvote button.
I know the Rust Evangelism Strike Force is a meme, but Rust genuinely has a good solution to language rot with its "edition" concept, where the language can be updated and the compiler just converts all code to a mutually-interoperable internal representation. It’s not dissimilar to using something like Babel for JS, except that because this internal representation is extremely simple, it’s far easier for the language to change more, add restrictions, remove restrictions, and so forth, while still being interoperable. Sadly, Rust has no good equivalent when it comes to libraries, and it’s not unheard of to have two libraries that should be interoperable fail to compile because there’s no way to find a single version of a shared library that satisfies both of their version constraints, even though the actual types in question are identical. I’m not sure if the error messages still look like this, but they used to say something like `expected foo::Bar, got foo::Bar`.

> Most people don't go near hospitals if they can possibly avoid it because it's so expensive. Still, assuming a consistent recording methodology, changes in recorded case numbers should still serve as a useful indicator of trends.

In china? The difference is that outside of china, if you die, it's reported as something like "died of heart attack bought on by influenza virus", or "died of complications caused by influenza virus", etc.

In china, if you have /any/ underlying condition, the reported death is the underlying condition, not influenza.
They might not be worried about losing those people - would be able to grow it themselves quite easily.
> It sure sounds like hyperbole. Hong Kong has had a bit over 1100 cases so far, which is frankly trivial.

And that is because of their personal efforts, not the CCP who forcefully kept the borders via Carrie Lam's legislation open against Public outcry.

Hong Kong had already learned the lesson from SARS outbreak, and understood what they needed to do to lessen the contagion and they quarantined and limited human contact--they even stopped protesting despite it being in full swing in late November to early December.

There medical system was still overwhelmed and PPE was scarce while they were still treating mainlanders who came in droves and continued to abuse the system and foment violence amongst Hong Kong citizens. Many mainlanders were supposed to quarantine but violated the 2 week mandatory period and were out in public and going into restaurants with their armbands indicating they were supposed not leave their home/hotel. If I had the time I'd go look for the videos and pictures, but I'm sure you'd try to rationalize that away some how, too.

You can look at the numbers and try to draw erroneous conclusions, but that doesn't tell the entire story; you know what does? The CCP violently enforcing the Security Law Bill, beating and killing protestors that have eventually led to Hong Kong citizens now having to flee to Taiwan and the UK now.

Wikipedia article of fascism starts like this "Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy". While every point might be a stretch, also every point is debatable.
This is an interesting point and one could make the argument (based on these subsidies and tax breaks) that all corporate media in the US is a form of state media.

The key difference between US corporate media and state media in other countries being:

* In other countries: the government controls the state media outlets.

* In the United States: the corporate media outlets control the government.

Or buy something I have taken a short position in
Going from "all the people you know" to "most of it's userbase" is rather anecdotal. Unless, off course, you know millions of people.

I understand the sentiment. But Apple or Microsoft could buy them with the explicit goal -and promise- to run or own a privacy-friendly search engine. Rather than just "something to fight Google with".

Like with MSFT buying GitHub: I was/am one of those disgruntled users who left GH as paying customer (running to my own gitea, mostly) but so far, Microsoft really seems to deliver on its promise to keep it a good option for Open Source.

Such companies can do the same when they buy a privacy-friendly search engine: promise, and then deliver on that promise, to keep it privacy-focused, -friendly and so on.

Especially since there are several competitors around the corner that would take over the DDG userbase if the aquiring company slips up. Qwant, Startpage, Ecosia just to name a few.
Well, Apple loves Google's money for iOS default search engine. Why would they give up on it?

GKE is fantastic compared to EKS.
It's just software, if an actor wanted to use facial recognition they can write it themselves. Isn't the correct attack vector regulation vs having a company pull its products? If IBM isn't doing it someone else will and it'll just be less competition, meaning a better funded product for the industry winner.
Apparently you didn't need any answers after all as you have it all sorted out for yourself already!

No thanks: I'll Terraform an EKS cluster in 30 lines of HCL and deploy my applications with a Dockerfile and a handful of YAML files.
I agree with you. The UX/UI patterns should be functional first with a focus on primary userbase.
In many startup scenarios, however, the users are not identified yet, so this UX pattern works only when you are well aware of the business case and user capabilities.
You really should write an article detailing how all this is set up. It sounds fascinating.
Azure Insights provides similar kind of information.

Maybe that is where the porting effort went.
Seems like a terrible idea. The argument is not from the stand point of pressuring Google to adopt more privacy friendly practices but rather to bring them to the table to negotiate Google continuing to pay Apple to set Google as the default search engine on iOS. Using a privacy-centric service as a pawn to coerce more money into Apple's pocket would not serve the people DuckDuckGo was made for.

A lot of my friends like the 'Chase Sapphire Preferred Card', but I do not like to pay an annual fee.

It seems like the typical rewards cards give you 1.5% back on what you spend.

Since I always payoff my balance, the interest rate is not a factor when I choose.

I am considering 'Citi Double Cash Card' as it pays 2%. 1% when you buy, and 1% when you pay your bill.

Quoting from your link:

>>> IBM no longer offers general purpose IBM facial recognition or analysis software. IBM firmly opposes and will not condone uses of any technology, including facial recognition technology offered by other vendors, for mass surveillance, racial profiling, violations of basic human rights and freedoms, or any purpose which is not consistent with our values and Principles of Trust and Transparency. We believe now is the time to begin a national dialogue on whether and how facial recognition technology should be employed by domestic law enforcement agencies.

Even if the phrasing is limited to "general purpose" and "software", it still seems a pretty strong stance to me.

Thanks for the advice.

I am well aware of fiverr being the low-end of the spectrum, which is why I used that as example. As opposed to "finding a designer", which is costly.

I was not trying to argue that I want to hire a designer for a fiverr-price. Slavery has been abolished in Europe and I would not like to bring it back, thank you very much.

The advise to move forward with commonly known frameworks such as Bootstrap is a good one. As it allows to bring in (and properly pay!) designers when you can afford it.
Repetition can be incredibly useful. I can't imagine memorizing vocabulary or simple facts (when was FOO born?) without repetition. Of course, actually using the facts (or vocab) makes them stick better. But use is also repetition.

Just last night, I needed skk a bit but I couldn't remember how it works. I open the tutorial, see a familiar pair of kanji, type にゅうりょく into my dictionary, and get the pair (入力) back. I don't speak Japanese but I memorized some words sometime over a decade ago. I'm pretty sure I've never used this information anywhere and I only remember due to repetition.

Of course, tfa makes a distinction between repetition and retrieval practice, but to me they are pretty much the same thing -- they go hand in hand. Does anyone actually ever just read a thing over and over again hoping that it sticks? Without (say) closing ones eyes or stopping before a sentence to test if you remember the answer before you spoil it? I don't know if I've ever studied anything that way! And I don't think that people who claim repetition is key to remembering are talking about passive repetition with zero effort to recall. They're talking about active repetition, practice, and it goes hand in hand with recall.

You're being downvoted, but it seems like a fair point.

My favourite example: multiplication of very large square matrices. The algorithms with the best time complexity are never used in the real world. Under no realistic circumstances would they offer the best performance.

In that case, it's not cache behaviour or branch-prediction that dooms the algorithm, but very intensive steps in the algorithm that are nonetheless constant-time, and so don't impact the complexity theoretic properties.

Do we describe such algorithms as the 'fastest'? I wouldn't. They have the lowest time complexity. Not the same thing.

If you think you're seeing "far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy" in the USA, done by Trump, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about (but that's not too bad, most Americans don't know much about European history). Watch some historical movies. Trump is a populist with preference for isolationism at most. It helps to continue reading the wikipedia page instead of stopping after the first paragraph, usually the actual point is not that simplistic; the next level is reading the sources instead of the (already simplified) whole wiki page.

Sure, there are some people who are invested in the cause, they're not social events only. But a large number of those showing up are not, they're there because their friends are, because it's an event and something to do, and because they want to belong to a tribe, and tribal outings are the thing to do when you want to be a part of the tribe.

Most of them don't want that more than they want to stay dry though, so bad weather usually translates into smaller events.
Maybe I'm spoiled then, it takes less than 2s to spin up my application on a new instance. :\

There are also many options for creating Debian based image files with all you need baked in.

I guess it depends very much on the application you have.
But I believe ONNX also doesn't support AMD GPUs, so for people using a regular workstation, the ONNX options are CPU & NVIDIA GPU, just like with numpy and cupy.
Thank God this was merely a mistake in an entertainment article editor program, and not, can you imagine, an application tasked with identifying suspects in a criminal investigation...

A NUMA memory profiling tool to track memory access
That's a reasonable argument, however, without strict legal restrictions that gets stretched as far as fast food employees being prohibited to go work at another restaurant, which is ridiculous on one hand and very understandable on the other - they have little bargaining power to refuse the clause, and a non-compete means they'll be less likely to leave so it allows the employer to keep wages low.
How to Access Kubernetes Dashboard on RBAC Enabled Azure Kubernetes
Do you think that software should be architected as autonomous agents for it to scale infinitely? I watched an Alan Kay video [1] some time back.

After, sure. But anything they say before you sign the contract is totally void, because every contract explicitly says "this is the only contract, anything beforehand is overruled by this".
The Most Eaten Meats in the World
The primary customers for this technology are governments. They want it. They're not going to regulate it away from themselves. At best they'll regulate the far less dangerous civil use so as to pay lip service to concerns and amplify their "think of the children" misdirection. They can't write it as quickly or as effectively themselves. Governments don't write software. They pay IBM, Amazon, and Lockheed to do it. If most vendors grow a conscience (or fear consumer retribution), then no one writes it. Or it becomes prohibitively
expensive. Or it doesn't work as well (which isn't necessarily always good, but is in this case, because it will reduce public support).
I really like that idea. I use it a lot in my own work. For example, working through the sample sheets for an MIT opencourseware or working on learning a Data Science problem. Focus on how you construct your habits to learn more.

At the time, the idea that a type designer would use a computer as part of the design process (or even at all) was pretty radical. And the notion that you were expected to design a parameterized version of your font, that would produce both regular and bold, in any point size, from a single source where you specified control point coordinates with multiple linear equations in multiple unknowns, was also a challenge. (And, no, it isn't acceptable to do that algorithmically.)

Ultimately, the biggest impediment seemed to be Metafont's "stroke with a brush" model was at odds with how designers lived in an "outline" world. The combination of this calligraphic orientation on top of needing to be comfortable with linear algebra and computer programming, account for Metafont's lack of popularity, I believe.

Using a non-compete for that is overreaching. You could simply ban that much more specific behaviour you're trying to prevent.
Building one yourself is a good exercise for understanding something, I agree.

The problem with that logic is everyone on your team will need to do it, so you're going to be stuck picking a standard. Should it be yours, should it be mine, or should we both just learn something with a large community behind it?

Nothing is perfect of course, but k8s makes a really good target for CI/CD, which is something you want when you're developing as part of a team. If you're not quite a team yet and you don't know how to bootstrap k8s and CI/CD, then you need to figure out when those types of things are important.

Probably lots of people could stick with a monolith and a VM for longer than they did, but automated testing will save you a fair bit of time if you're not figuring out how to do it at the same time.
