I'm not sure where the "linear" in "linear algebra" comes from. You hear about
linear algebra in relation with machine learning a lot because training a
neural net (with the backpropagation algorithm and friends) requires some
matrix arithmetic. Inputs to neural nets are vectors or matrices, their
weights are (arrayed in) vectors or matrices, their outputs are - well,
usually scalars but can also be vectors or matrices.

Also, the use of linear/ nonlinear in machine learning is a bit misleading. A
"line" is not necessarily a "straight line", but usually when we say "linear"
we mean "straight" and so when we want to say "not straight" we use
"nonlinear".

In any case, when we say "line" in machine learning we mean a function, the
function of a line. So a "nonlinear" function is a function that curves and
turns, e.g. a sigmoid, whereas a "linear" function is straight as a rod.

Why a line? Classifiers er classify by drawing a line through space. "Space"
means a Cartesian space where our training examples are represented as points
(hence, "data points"). Data points are located in Cartesian space according
to coordinates that represent their attributes, or features (these coordinates
are the "feature vectors" that are input to neural nets). We classify data
points by drawing a line between those that belong to one class and those that
belong to other classes. More to the point, when we train a classifier, we
find the parameters of a function of a line that separates the points of
separate classes and when we want to classify a new point, we look at where it
falls with relation to that line.

So that's where all that stuff about lines and "linear" and "nonlinear" models
comes from. A "linear model" or "linear classifier" can only draw straight
lines. A "nonlinear model" can go twirling around madly.

Finally, "non-linear" doesn't mean "bad". There are tradeoffs- in particular,
the "bias variance tradeoff" that I hint at in my earlier comment. A linear model
is more limited in what it can represent, but a nonlinear model is less likely
to represent data that it hasn't seen in training.
> Nobody in the left in Germany will claim police brutality is at any level near what America is facing as that's completely absurd.

And that's not what I said. They certainly won't agree that police in Europe is "on average, very kind".

> However, people do acknowledge police is authoritative, profile racially, and abuse their power at times.

That's an overly euphemistic way of describing "ACAB", which is very common and not controversial on the left.
Always wanted to know if server cpus are of lower base/boost frequencies, compared to HEDT cpus, precisely because they are designed to work 24/7 at 100% load for a decade, while consumer grade cpus have looser reliability requirements and would fail in this regime at a high rate(without overclocking), so they allow for higher frequency, provided that it's not 24/7 100% load.

The conventional explanation is that server cpus are designed for power efficiency and higher frequencies are wasteful/inefficient. But I wonder if reliability is also a factor, since there are applications for high single threaded performance, but even special high-frequency server cpus never come close to consumer-grade ones.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the greatest series ever made which also has the benefit that it can be understood by kids, so it's worth investing 3 seasons in anyway.

I guess I'm in favor of obscure references, I think even if I hadn't understood I would think that must mean something really delusional.
As someone who has had to teach grumpy old high school teachers how to not fall for phishing and mitm attacks, I really can't see the problem here.

The way I used to teach was very simple and very effective: there are 3 parts to a URL - the first part tells you if the connection is secure, the second part tells you who you're connected to and the third part tells you where on that site you are. The first part needs to be httpS, the second part needs to be the site you're expecting and the third you can ignore. They're even shaded differently to make it easier to read. "If you're going to Google and the black part ends with anything but google.com, call IT" made sense to even the oldest and most reluctant people I've had to deal with. The problem was actually getting them to check every time and not forget.

It seems to me that this change will not help people without training, change nothing for people with training, and make sharing links even more confusing for everyone.

Are you saying someone is less likely to get phished on "supershop.co.hk" than on "http://supershop.co.hk/account_login.php", even where the http:// part is replaced with a red padlock and /... is grayed out?

I see only one real solution to phishing: don't let users type passwords manually. WebAuthN and password managers both automatically read the domain and won't try to authenticate on a domain that isn't a perfect match. I've had more success with that than any other anti-phishing measure I've tried deploying (history-based domain trust, explicit trust on first use popup, detecting unicode gaps and domains in credential fields...).

Nothing worse than owning a car repair shop and having to force your mechanics to wear a bikini for Instagram ads. Imagine having to have that conversation with a bunch of short tempered hairy dudes
I don't disagree about the style/tone of the article but this conclusion is borne out by their own data:

> Posts that contained pictures of women in undergarment or bikini were 54% more likely to appear in the newsfeed of our volunteers. Posts containing pictures of bare chested men were 28% more likely to be shown.

The effect is clearly larger for women, and if you have no problems with their data I don't think it is a reach to assume it disadvantages female entrepreneurs more than male entrepreneurs, especially given that in many cultures the pressure to dress modestly is stronger on women than on men.
With all due respect, 1984 has a much higher cultural impact and awareness than ATLA. The show isn't that well known outside of current 20-30 year olds.
I use them constantly. mainly for shortness <u> is 80% less than <span class"whatever">
> At that point, I think I was mostly self-driven with the goal of making "it works" with little to no knowledge of security aspects of things. If I am doing the same thing now I would be knowing how to do, how to "Google", and also the right place to ask, but at that time I think I wasn't aware, I do also think this or even worse is the situation of school students at least here because there is no exposure to things and the bright side of the Internet.

exactly, and that's not your fault at all, this is what teachers ought to teach you if they had any ethics and any level of pride in their work

> Also, for this to solve, one thing we can do is start FOSS and cybersecurity Clubs and build a culture among them through various ways like competitions, workshops, code-sprints, hackathons, CTFs and lot more which can be solved. Keeping that in mind, from our uni we have Started CTF competitions and bootstrapping them through workshops,

super nice, but also super sad that things are so bad that students have to take the place of their teachers :) as it's the teachers who get paid

I would even argue it is much better than trying to do so on a more modern system, as you directly can just use graphics and color (which is both fun and helps teach a lot of programming concepts that are useful to know for building UIs later) without wasting a ton of time learning some UI toolkit that will be neither instructive nor actually-useful in the real world (as even if you choose a good one, it is almost certainly going to be obsolete by the time you go to get a job).

Well, "more predictive" doesn't mean it's a perfect fit. Every model has error. A line through a point cloud curving upwards will still represent some of the points in the cloud. So it will have high error, but it's still a representation of the data.

And yes, the bias-variance tradeoff is about generalisation (i.e. the ability to extrapolate to unseen data). But this is more related to the fact that in the real world, problem spaces don't have nice, friendly, regular shapes nor do their shapes stay put after we've trained a model.
I have some experience in this from developing https://p2p.chat a while back.

As others have mentioned, building a simple project is fairly simple. The difficulty comes when you want to scale to more than ~4 users without the app becoming unusable. Adjusting audio/video constraints to ensure that you get optimal media streams is quite difficult, also. Nevermind dynamically tweaking them!
Disallowing discretionary funding and efforts for education would be what could charitably be called deeply misguided approach to try to make it fair for everyone. (Allowing every possible advantage taken literally would get into no shit answers like cheating or bribery not being okay.)

I recall hearing from New Jersey and judges taking strict stances of equal outcome in education that found locality funding discriminatory, was that the poorer districts needed to be funded more per student to start to reach parity. Which makes some sense on some levels given knowledge and habits from parents transferring and would need more effort and funding to catch up because they are already providing more teaching just in a remotely middle-class concept.

That sort of equality is clear folly, like trying to force every kid into creches and separate them from parents. It might work with some hypothetical aliens but in practice for humans prepare for massive psychic trauma, inevitable abuse from caretakers, and frankly a well deserved outright insurrection and rebellion.

Don't get me wrong, working to raise the floor is a noble goal and makes sense just from rational selfishness alone. Throwing more money at the high end is 'dimminshed returns' but the money has already been allocated for better or worse. And well the obvious caveats of how the money is spent matters, there is no fixed true universal value per of any unit or commodity.

developer.mozilla.org sheds some (slightly confusing) light on that: It used to mean underline..uh rather, <u> still makes an underline but should instead be used for such things as squiggly lines under misspelt words –

"The HTML Unarticulated Annotation Element (<u>) represents a span of inline text which should be rendered in a way that indicates that it has a non-textual annotation. This is rendered by default as a simple solid underline, but may be altered using CSS.

This element used to be called the "Underline" element in older versions of HTML, and is still sometimes misused in this way. To underline text, you should instead apply a style that includes the CSS text-decoration property set to underline. ...

Along with other pure styling elements, the original HTML Underline (<u>) element was deprecated in HTML 4; however, <u> was restored in HTML 5 with a new, semantic, meaning: to mark text as having some form of non-textual annotation applied.

Valid use cases for the <u> element include annotating spelling errors, applying a proper name mark to denote proper names in Chinese text, and other forms of annotation.

You should not use <u> to simply underline text for presentation purposes, or to denote titles of books.

To underline text without implying any semantic meaning, use a <span> element with the text-decoration property set to "underline"..."

yeah. I've done a little bit (tiny, inconsequential, not an expert) with satellites.
When cosmic rays have enough energy they'll move atoms around. That's bad for gates. A 486, old big gates, doesn't hurt much. maybe you have to reboot every few days. Tiny little 2 atom gates, they're more delicate. think plastic vs glass glassware. With plastic you can have a few incidents and it'll still be a glass. with glass, it's a lot easier to chip an edge or shatter and not be usable anymore.
Again, not my area. But I suspect altitude is really bad for tiny systems because they lose so much "free" shielding.
I'm not saying that Greeks were genderfluid: I'm saying that their tendencies of sexual attraction ("orientation") weren't an abstraction they reached to to interpret their own realities and identities. They share the same biological territory as us, but a different map of it.

In the case of the Greeks, the abstraction they did reach to to organize desire was not homosexual/heterosexual but penetrator/penetrated, with women and young boys expected to be the penetrated and post-adolescent men the penetrator. And for men, at least, there was an expected flow and directionality from one to another; it wasn't expected to be immutable.

I don't have first hand experience of this, but I have read several things suggesting that a big part of the problem with OpenSSL is the API - that it doesn't help you to make sensible security decisions. A large part of the design of RusTLS seems to be to have sensible defaults and to not make available insecure algorithms.

That said, we shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good. An OpenSSL compatible implementation with no memory issues would definitely be good.

the thing has no fixed world-model

What is "world-model"? What makes you think GPT-3 does not have some kind of a world model? It's clearly not a very good one, but at the same time it does not mean it can't get better. A 3 year old also does not have a very good world model, what's the difference between his world model and one of GPT-3? Again, clearly there's a big difference, I'm just not sure we know enough about what's going on inside 175B model to make any dismissive statements about it. I'm also not sure what will happen if you train a much bigger model on much bigger data. Things might start to emerge at some scale.
No matter what language type of C++ he is using, I find this an amazing achievement for a high schooler.

That wasn't expressed clearly, I meant civilians not generally being allowed to carry weapons. If you can expect people to be unarmed, you have a lot less tension in police interactions.
The idea of secure boot is to have a security level above root. So that even if you gain root level access, you can't put an APT onto the box or similar.

Read books. What will help you out of this is out there somewhere but you may only find it through serendipitous channels.

I have read several books that totally unwound my previous education/experience and led me out of the current state of the shared common knowledge rut in a particular domain/field. While that has added to my contempt for the current state of things I am farther ahead and able to make better choices on where to focus my attention.

The challenge for anyone as their knowledge and capabilities improve is that the number of existing opportunities in which they can be fully engaged approaches zero. So ultimately you will feel better if you are open to creating opportunities for yourself.
Here’s my guess: there is an ML model running at Instagram to prioritize content shown to users in the service of some target: engagement, revenue, shares, etc.

This model takes many of the features of the image into account: the account posting, the account’s previous likes, the number of existing likes and the time frame they were received in, the GPS location of the poster, etc... and possibly... deep learning features from the image itself.

If the model has the deep learning features... it will take all of 10 minutes of IG-scale data to overpromote hot naked people. It will also learn all of their userbase’s biases, and underpromote content from black people that isn’t “stereotypically black,” overweight women, short men, etc.
Disgusting. After things settle down, in addition to all the systematic reform that will hopefully take place, I hope we can look back at these videos and put all of these officers in jail for violating the constitution and betraying their oath to protect and serve their communities.

> There are laws in place about how legal gun owners must notify law enforcement during traffic stops.

Isn't the issue with laws that those breaking them don't usually care about laws? I'm sure you have laws in place against murder, and murder still happens. "But there's a law against burglary, why would you want additional protection and have a strong door" isn't a good argument.

There are good arguments (and the whole issue is a good gun control argument in general), but that really isn't one.
That's what I was thinking. You need the data from elsewhere to know what's headed your way.
I had been very disappointed with the local weather forecast last summer, and then there was an interview with one of the meteorologists involved and they said they were quite proud of how accurate their predictions had been so far. I was taken aback, as in my mind their "success rate" had been well below 50%.

Then I got my answer: they focused on the temperature forecast, while since I bike to work what I was interested in was "is it gonna rain today?"

I get that it's difficult to predict when and where rain might occur, but I'd much prefer a rough probability scale to nothing. On the bright side, they have a real-time, radar-based 90 minute rain forecast now, so at least if I check it in the afternoon I can jump on my bike and get home before I get wet.
Why no one is addressing the biggest problem about programming: separating bits to 0s and 1s. Not only that, but also 0s have no value unless they are led by 1.

Agreed, so it's definitely a bug. But it does require disabling kernel address translation and two reboots.

Secure boot doesn't disable installing APTs, it disables installing kernel modules.

If you want to disable apts etc, you need SELinux or AppArmor or equivalent.

Some workflow never get to the point you need to replace them, in which case using a no-code solution is a huge win.

Often, it is good enough, when the no-code solution has some flaws, but not enough to justify a rewrite.

And some workflows utterly needs to be rewritten, because of various reasons (change in pricing of the provider, new feature that's not possible in no-code, bug in the no-code solution, scaling issue).

I got stopped while entering the US, they asked me to follow them in some kind of room, I did, they asked me for my passport, I gave it to them, they then put the passport on a table and went chatting on the other side of the room, a few minute later a woman came in and took the passport while no one was paying attention. 5 min later one of the chatting officer noticed the passport was missing and tried to make me confess I took it back from the table and hid it, he was very obviously trying to escalate the situation... The woman came back after a while and the threatening officer tried to pass his whole act as a joke. I lost 2 hours because these people were less organised than an elementary school kid and treated me like a criminal for no reason.

Makes me smile - a few years ago I was working for British Telecom and had to look something up on the internal system that had all the procedures and standards.

I miskeyed the search and ended up on a TI (technical Instruction) from I think the 1940's which describe how to calculate pension entitlements taking account for war service - that was based in part on which medals you had.
