Siri still isn’t able to understand « do NOT set the alarm to 3pm », and many image classifier produces aberrations that no human would ever commit.

Many people feel that ML has so far only produced « tricks », but still doesn’t show any sign of « understanding » anything. As in, provide meaning. It may be unfair, but i think that at this point people would be more impressed by a program « smiling » at a good joke than by something able to process millions of a positions per second, or « learn » good moves by playing billions of games against itself.
> I've seen multiple examples from social media in the last month of people scrolling through their mom's (/little brother's/etc) phone, showing hundreds of tabs, but usually all duplicates of the same dozen or so.

Honestly this is the only reasonable way to use tabs on a mobile browser. There is almost no drawback of keeping them and closing them is a chore. I get it sounds like the typical "boomers using the internet" but given that you should expect old inactive tabs to unload anyway having even hundreds of tabs open is a detail.
How do you know it won't be a toggle?

Right now it is a setting to enable in Chrome.

What makes you think that once it becomes default, the switch won't remain to be able to turn it off?

Chrome is built by developers. Presumably, they pay attention to what developers need from it. Which is why their debugging tools overall are so amazing.

Perhaps you should withold criticism of what you assume they'll do until they, you know, actually do it.
Specifically, I'm referring to files that are supposed to be public to begin with like the Internet Archive. The goal there is to replicate the data and make it publicly accessible.

There'd probably have to be some index (can IPNS be used for this?) to specify the root, and then you could specify you want to store XXX GB of random data from this root node.
It was not a counter argument to anything per se. Just pointing out that even with episodes of failed estimates, there is reason to continue estimating.
I guess once the field starts mixing probabilistic, deep and logic approaches we will see a bit of progress towards AGI.

This is one example of where things might be heading: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/350/6266/1332
My virtual interviews with AWS were very structured and very much focused on soft skill questions and “describe your projects”. My only technical interview was the first one before I went through “the loop”.

Anyone who studied for the AWS Architect Associate could pass it.

Of course, I did have a resume that showed a lot of real world experience with AWS in particular and leading technical projects in general -thanks to working at small companies.

I wouldn’t make it past the first 10 minutes of an algorithm style interview for a software dev position at $BigTech at this point in my life. I knew my way in would be through the consulting department.
And this shit is why we don't have more diversity in tech.
No, with automatic integration you presumably would not get the integrated function, the same way you don't with dual number autodiff.
From the FCC quote in the article: "Propagation delay in a satellite network does not alone account for latency in other parts of the network such as processing, routing, and transporting traffic to its destination."

In other words, client and server are not both sitting right under the same satellite. The trip to and from LEO is just part of the full route; you also have server to ground station and (in future) uplink satellite to downlink satellite (AFAIK Starlink currently doesn't do that).
Tri bars are definitely the fastest that I’ve ever descended by quite a bit. Neither were in race
conditions, once was on a mtb with road tires and aero like bars in upstate ny, and once on a tandem with aero bars on the US route that STP takes once crossing into Oregon.

Both times I hit 55mph, and the bike was rock solid riding at that speed on the aero bars.

The fastest descents I’ve done without tri bars has been in the 45 mph range, but I’m sure faster is possible with the right hills.
You should care if the makers of your fridge are charging you a billion dollars to buy it because its "real clever".
Did you get a diamond? If so, How do you justify to yourself that a diamond is moral, ethical, or practical choice?
We have such havens already, and if the choice is between the Internet Archive plus everyone's naked pics or none of the two, I'd still vote for the former.
All of these seem quite a bit worse than slave to be honest. Why not use server/client instead?

Edit: another post in this thread suggested master and puppet, I think that this is a cute yet clear variant.
I've wanted to wake up at 5AM for the last... maybe 5 years, so I could do side projects before work; but I've always ended up waking up at the latest time where I can shower, get dressed and take the bus to work so I'm not late to the daily status meeting. Being able to have that 3 more hours every day is probably worth some money.

Although 5 years of that service (let's say minus the time I'd be on vacation) is about $40000...
> The underlying theory in your post seems to be that it is more profitable to not sell something than to sell something due to economies of scale.

> That doesn't pass a basic sanity check when applied to food. It is much more likely something else is the problem rather than that farmers are allowed to maximise their profits.

Why? The consumer isn't coming to you. You have to go to the consumer.

That implies that I, as the farmer, have to pick the food, box the food, transport the food, store some amount of food where the consumer is, remove the bad food daily, etc.

I can spend 6 months setting that all up for it to become effectively useless if the supply chain all turns back on. It's a big drag on cash reserves at a critical point: maybe I want to do that setup, but maybe I should wait until after September when we see what schools are doing.

I also think that you believe that most farmers in the country are mom and pop working a couple acres. That isn't true anymore. Farms have scaled and consolidated like anything else.
Sure... But why not remove imagery of slavery from tech syntax?

We have plenty of other organisational terms to denote a higher rank. What's wrong with those? They might even be more accurate. I don't suppose DBAs get in a ship to pillage and loot foreign lands for their database redundancy.

I see too many people arguing semantics or historical bias, or whataboutisms but barely anybody giving positive arguments to preserve the master-slave terms in tech. If "all races have had slavers" is the best you've got, perhaps it's time for change.

I think it really depends on the state of your life. Anyone with some major underlying issues that they've been ignoring is bound to have trouble being alone with their own thoughts. The same might apply to those with smaller problems that they find hard to deal with.

However, people who tend to reflect on themselves and the life they lead, will find it easier to adjust. Also, I'd presume stuff like personality types matters too. It's more difficult for someone who's used to being around people and sharing everything with them to switch to isolation.
Sometimes I feel like trying to test the reddit infinite scroll and measure GB and CPU% per meter.
Uh yah, there are people in that thread who have profiled their Chrome installs and found that SQLite was draining power. Thus my post.

Since I needed to use Chrome, it didn't really matter to me why the problem was happening. But, since this was a thread on performance problems with SQLite, I posted it.
Crucially, it's not "beginning to sink in" at the Economist, since they don't have a faintest clue what they're talking about. If there's anything the past 3-4 months have taught us (or at least the smarter subset of "us"), one should be careful about predicting future state of exponential processes _even if_ one is expert in the field.
Your first comment was already flagged by other users.

Why don't you stop making false statements?

Zoom allows you to specifically choose where your servers are located, e.g. to avoid China specifically if you want:

https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020/04/13/coming-april-18-co...

I don't dispute China might compel Zoom to reveal user activity within the country. But there's no legal mechanism for China to do so for communication that doesn't pass through China. And Zoom's entire business reputation hinges on that.

Please stop spreading disinformation on HN.
Exactly.

Automatic differentiation works because we have the chain rule (f . g)'(x) = f'(g(x)) g'(x), telling us how to differentiate functions which are composed from simpler building blocks. But there is no analogous rule for integration.
I assume that there is control character after carriage return that deletes everything from there to the EOL, so this do not break copy functionality or "go to EOL" shortcuts.
Can anyone tell me why large corps do this ? Compete with every new product or buy companies instead of sticking to the core product. I like Slack and all but if Slack started implementing Google Docs I would be surprised.
If they would have implemented the interface with echo and superglobals, I'd been instanly sold.

I'm confused by your post. You first say the syntax doesn't matter, languages are just a tool, yet you say that Swift is part of the problem because everything is more complicated.

The increasingly complex syntax of Swift IS the problem.

I wonder, with deprecation of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 support being planned, whether Firefox can adopt rustls in favor of NSS.
That is the way, but there's no need to install an extension just for it. Just add the IDCAC filter list to uBlock Origin (uBO settings => Filter Lists => Import, at the very bottom):

Also on that same page you can enable some of the 'Annoyances' filters. Just be aware that some of them block social media buttons (FB/Twitter like/follow embeds), which you may not want.

How to ruin a cryptographic system with one type-error
> You should ask your married friends what a proposal is

If by "you" you mean me, I've been married since 86. (I understand that you may have meant a generic "you.")

FWIW, we didn't buy a ring. I can't say we took that money and put it to use X but in the first years of marriage we certainly had some months where we were only able to pay bills by looking under the couch cushions for quarters, so I think it was a sound direction, for us.
Your training set must be something unique to make those claims - very intrigued to know if you chose another closed system environment (I.e. any structured game with predefined scoring), or an open system with carefully selected labeling with multiple “scores.”

Also complete novice so be merciful if I’m off base.
I am a longtime crypto guy, and totally 100% understand how you see the links. I have a very nuanced opinion on this, but it's difficult to explain briefly here. There are a lot of scams in crypto, but if you are a believer in Austrian economics and are not a fan of Keynesian theories, fiat currency, and the Federal Reserve, then Bitcoin / crypto is very attractive.

But that's a separate discussion, unrelated to my opinion of AI and is primarily a philosophical issue. Cryptocurrency / blockchain is fascinating but we are not promising robots cleaning your house.

This amuses me as it reminds me of the performance issues Mork (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mork) had, and introducing SQLite was originally a way to fix that problem.
That's not what I did either in form and in substance.

There is a worrying trend of trying to force changes of vocabulary (not only this one) and to purge history for ideological purposes and we're also seeing people suffering for not embracing that trend or, worse, criticising it (as I wrote this is getting close to "public denunciations").

These are dynamics very similar, albeit not as extreme, to what happened during the Cultural Revolution and other campaigns in the USSR/Eastern Europe during the 20th century.

Fighting racism is a good cause, of course. But arguably so what fighting against feodalism and the exploitation of the working class, and see what happened...

I did not call anyone a "Red Guard", I wrote that the current situation was "getting there", and I think it could, indeed.

If you guys want to censor that comment as well, go ahead, but then please acknowledge where this is going.
L1B is a very bad visa. If you come on that to US and you get sucked into the green card trap, you are basically screwed.
You will see a lot of people on L1 visas taking on more crap at work because they can't quit or change jobs easily because of how that visa rules work.
The actions of parents are also a huge factor in the success of a school. If your parents make your students do their homework you can move forward with material in class quicker. They also will send children to after-school programs, which has a similar effect.

Parents are also somewhat a defense against bad teachers. There’s nothing quite like a parent hounding you and your principal about their child’s academic performance.
That's a very good question.

Robot manipulation in unstructured situations is still not very good.
(See the videos of the DARPA humanoid challenge) "Common sense", defined as the ability to predict the consequences of actions and to use that to plan, hasn't progressed much in years. Machine learning doesn't seem to have helped much with either, so far. Those are key areas for doing physical things in the real world. Humans are good at those.

So that's where to look for hard problems.

The payoff is low, though. Those skills are common to all healthy humans, so there's a huge pool of unskilled labor available with them. If you did a startup, and you solved, say, robotic shelf stocking, it would not be a huge win over low-wage people.
Probably closer to $1000/mo, actually.

But as I said - it literally pays for itself: say my time is worth $100/hr[1] and paid on an IRS 1099 schedule - so it’s a deductible expense. The extra 3-4 hours it gets me ($300-400) is worth the $35 opportunity cost, because that’s $5,000+ extra monthly income - so minus the $1000 as a pre-tax deductible business expense then that’s $4000 I wouldn’t have had otherwise.

Spreadsheets don’t lie!

Even if I was paid on a W-2 basis, I could probably pay for it using pre-tax money from my HSA - though that would sap all of my HSA contributions though.

How about translation? Living in a foreign country I possibly find it useful more often than the average person.

Machine generated subtitles on YouTube is another example. I find those useful even in my native tongue, especially when watching at 2x speed.

If you make purchases on the web, there is a good chance that machine learning is behind the fraud detection that you don't even know is taking place.
> [Jenkins] "Coordinator/worker" works well here.

Agreed, although my mind immediately went to "manager" and how that is one of the most useless names. See e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1866794. Need to be careful with this type of naming.

> [MySQL] "Primary/replica" works well here.

Agreed.

> [ZFS] Terms that would make sense include things like "bond device/bonded member" (the members being bonded to each other), "logical volume/physical volume", etc. In this pull request they seem to use "dependency."

These names more than double number of syllables/characters, which will severely hamper adoption. I find "dependency" to be a bad descriptor for individual components fully making up a whole, but I expect that the ZFS people deliberated over that name and that my extremely limited familiarity with the topic(s) is the reason why I find "dependency" weird.

> [disk drives] "Primary/secondary" works well here.

Agreed.

> [pseudoterminals] I don't know of a standard term here, but I'd sort of suggest "monitor" and "application" (or perhaps "monitor" and "session" if you want to keep the initials).

I would strongly discourage overloading the meaning of "monitor" in the context of terminals. Otherwise, you all but guarantee confusion.
Thank you for the most substantive post in the thread.
It's not exactly unprecedented, its is often what happens in an employee owned company.

Example:

https://abcnews.go.com/WN/owner-multi-million-dollar-company...

>Moore said he's gotten countless buy-out offers over the years, but he couldn't envision selling the business to a stranger. "It's the only business decision that I could make," he said. "I don't think there's anybody worthy to run this company but the people who built it. I have employees with me right now that have been with me for 30 years. They just were committed to staying with me now and they're going to own the company."

That hypothetical naive first-time user is going to be as fooled by ~financial-aid, or by ~some-user/financial-aid. Showing the full URL path doesn't fix that risk scenario.

The other scenario you describe, if the risk is someone intentionally deceiving users by cloning a page on the university network owned by someone else for deceptive purposes, is better solved by a university disciplinary hearing than by expecting every student to understand URL paths.
It still applies now. e.g. it's still trivial to deploy a ruby/rails app to a server (with rollback potential) using Capistrano. Capistrano itself just being a DSL over a shell script that runs scp and a few remote commands.
These days, you can translate text by pointing your phone at it and taking a picture. Thirty years ago, this would have been unambiguously AI, because it would have been not only impossible, but stupid impossible like something out of a soft SF novel where little self-flying robots deliver stuff to your house, or you can ask a computer a question in a natural voice and reasonably expect a civil, natural-language answer sourced from global databases.

Ah, but all that works. If AI is perpetually defined to be "that which does not work" then it's perpetually potential, perpetually postulated, perpetually possible perfection. It never has to be compared to a clunky translation, or a drone that gets shot down. Unwritten novels never have story problems in the third act, unwritten programs never give ludicrous output.
shrug I used to own a company (since sold) that sold software for $50k/seat. Most people who bought it also bought the automatic failover option, which was another $50k/seat.

The movie business doesn't even blink at that sort of cost if it there's even a small chance to prevent having to set up the remote shot again. The logistics, time, hiring, transport, accommodation, equipment, wages, etc. etc. etc. all make $50k a drop in the ocean.

We spent 2 years writing the software, developing the add-on hardware that helped, and touting it around various Post-production houses. It was used on Star Wars I, The Matrix, etc. Post houses started to take it on board as well. Then we were bought, and the product discontinued. C'est la vie.

It's even hard to say how "genuine" cleverness in human beings works - and we've had a lot more time to study ourselves - granted that most of that time we've not had the tools to understand how our brains work at the algorithmic level. I am not claiming that achieving some version of "genuine" AGI necessarily involves understanding how human intelligence works, but it is reasonable to expect that knowing more about it will definitely reduce the search space of possible systems.

Well, there certainly may be other motivations at play, but it's also easier to keep foreign grants secret. The NIH, NSF, and American Cancer Society all make their awards public and searchable (I assume it's true for any organization with serious money or federal funding but those are the only ones I have come across). That said I also don't know if the federal funding agencies actually check outside of their own organization whether someone failed to mention a grant on an application.
At this point, google can have all the features it wants, and their products can be as amazing as anything, but I'm personally wary. If they established a couple billion dollar endowment for their products to make sure it can't get cancelled or created some sort of binding legal contract saying they wouldn't dump it and cause chaos for everyone using it, that would be more meaningful. I can count on slack and zoom to fight to keep their services alive since that's their entire business. Facebook seems to have treated WhatsApp and Instagram reasonably well so far. But I'm not in the mood to go through the hassle of setting up yet another google chat service, convincing friends to join (allo's gonna be great! This smart reply thing is so cool!) only to end up seeing it cancelled so quickly.

You can get the required high amount of heat either through concentrating solar collectors or through any renewable form of electricity that you run through electric heaters. If you want to be fancy, you can use microwaves to very selectively heat only the parts you want to heat.
