Sure there's lots of factors. My point is that if you can stop or limit gatherings and contact points early the spread will decrease dramatically. It will still spread within smaller communities like families, but as long as you can limit spread outside of smaller communities the virus will have no where to go. So it seems more like a timing issue than how people live. Oslo is similar to Stockholm, just smaller, but have dramatically less cases (Oslo was hit hardest in Norway).

You could also compare Sweden to Denmark which is more similar than Norway. Denmark took drastic measures quite early and were able to get it under control.

Further to that I agree it's too early to say what is the best strategy long term. All epidemiologists in Scandinavia basically agreed with the Swedish approach in the beginning of the outbreak, but politicians in Norway and Denmark thought otherwise. I guess epidemiologists didn't think it was an option to basically lock down a modern country for several months and maintain social distancing rules for months on end. If this works until the end I assume the books on the subject will be rewritten ...
I think fock's point is not about the 3rd grader's capability of reasoning, but only about their proficiency in writing syntactically correct sentences. GPT-3 does zero reasoning.
Add that to the third Michael Jordan I've heard of
I agree, and I strive to make this work in everything I do now.

However, in practice you'll have to deal with legacy software (that doesn't even have to be that legacy), with colleagues that aren't aligned with it, and with people being afraid.

Currently I'm working in a company that mainly does nightly builds and manual testing, but I'm working in a new project and trying to make it work like you say. I am constrained though, they have Jenkins as CI which is a bit painful to work with (as in it'll take me a lot of work to get things where I want them to be). Working with pre-commit, pre-push hooks and a solid IDE goes a long way though.

The point is obviously as an exercise to pick apart a piece of older technology, figure out how it was built and interacts with the original assets, and create a machine that works for doing that.

If you've got a passion for software and the game in question, it's a rewarding activity in its own right, in addition to being an excellent avenue for learning new languages and tools.

Not every instance of human effort needs to push the world forward in a way that's immediately economically rewarding.

Ramadam 2001 started on Nov 16th

The deadliest mass shooting since the Greenwood Massacre 100 years ago was the Las Vegas one in October 2017, committed by a white male. Ramadan was in June that year.

Indeed the vast majority of mass shootings in the developed world are committed by white Americans.

Thanks for your through reply. My question was more in line with enterprise PR/sales. More precisely, to what extent does such a PR activity drive sales for NSO. In my early engineering career I did enterprise pre-sales for two different companies and we always relied on more direct touch points with potential customers (e.g. doing seminars, workshops).
I still have no idea why people are making this whole thing about a political point or 'controversial opinions'. The facts are:

-The NYT wanted to write about SSC notably because SA warned about covid ahead of time, wrote a nice piece about the effectiveness of masks, etc.

-The NYT did not care enough about Scott's pseudonymity to keep it intact

-Scott, fearing that his relationship with his patients might be jeopardized if they got linked to his personal blog, deleted it.

Where do 'the mob' or 'controversial opinions' or 'ideological differences' factor in this at all? It is not 'the mob' that triggered this, in fact Scott upset a lot of people over the years with some of his articles and that hasn't deterred him from keeping them up blogging further. The NYT isn't reporting on the SSC commentariat's curious obsession with the IQ of black people either. So why do 90% of posts on here are making it about politics? If I were not charitable beyond reason I would start to believe HN's love of neutral, level-headed and impassionate discussion might be an act.
He was arrested because Indians and Pakistani/other Muslims from countries of the area people are very similar looking. And in that region of the world attacks are up during ramadan.
We perform manual testing and qualification on feature branches (but deployed to a qa or staging environment).

The thing that really helped us was separating the idea of environments and branches.
They can end up producing more convenient, better performing, better integrated, more moddable versions of the game. When it works out it's sort of an 'amateur/community remaster'. Of course that's piles of work so there's many more unfinished than reasonably finished ones.

Research projects like RockJIT [0] can introduce a more structured approach to some aspects of JIT security. To my knowledge though it hasn't seen real-world use.

Presumably a formal approach could also work. CompCert exists, after all.

Tolkien hates you now!

But seriously, he was open about how WWI influenced his writing. I think his rant against allegories is more about direct allegorical reading like "Mordor is supposed to symbolize WWI trenches etc."
Buncha pussies. Bet you have man buns on your dev team.
Risk mitigation and investment; my employer's software does critical mobile network infrastructure, if they have an outage it affects millions of people. So, if our customers upgrade the software, they want to do their due diligence in their particular use case (it's a flexible system).

That said though, software should be built to allow for fast and painless upgrades. Backwards compatibility and many use cases should be tested automatically and constantly. But, it's a big investment to have software like that, and you need to resist a lot of younger, eager developers that want to e.g. introduce a new language or make sweeping changes.
Winograd schemas falling at 10T parameters is interesting. That's probably only 5 years off.

If we can build something capable of passing Winograd schema, then it can probably write working non-trivial computer programs from plain text.

Google's PEGASUS summarization model[1] has learned to count up to five (which is amazing!!). That's "only" 568M parameters. It's be interesting to see GPT-3 fine tuned against the PEGASUS objective function.

I think the assumption is that if they have the capability to create this exploit chain, they also likely have the capability to develop others (and possibly have others waiting to deploy if these are discovered and patched).

It's the same with any of these hacking technology companies, they have to keep moving at the very edge of what is possible.
I don't see how SaaS is immune to this. You could easily find yourself with a big customer that effectively wants their own deployment and doesn't want updates (new bugs / big changes) but still demands occasional fixes/features that you often want to also merge into the main deployment.
Right, why do we need due process and laws, when we have people like you who know everything by reading a simple article on the web?
I really don't see the problem.

White men are the largest demographic of the US, so nueral networks will have a bias towards them. It really isn't that complicated.
If you actually read books on terrorism you'd know it is about ideology, a political cause or movement.

The Las Vegas mass shooter had absolutely none of those but yeah just keep making things up.
Agreed, I gave feedback but no use. I am not wasting my time when they’re not going to even bother listening to my feedback. I am out of the previews, not doing your QA for free.
Good to see Worcestershire mentioned. To be more specific, it's the Malvern Hills in West Worcs, on the Herefordshire border [1]. CS Lewis [2], Elgar [3] and Evelyn Waugh [4] were also inspired by the Malverns. Worcestershire is a sleepy, rural corner of England often overlooked by Londoners in favour of more "fashionable" counties like Dorset & Cornwall.

In a twisted way, the agents' behavior is actually kind of rational if you think about it. They prefer false positives to false negatives because the cost of a false negative is a successful terrorist attack, whereas the cost of a false positive is an annoyed traveler.
Facebook always reminds me of a modern version of Compulink CIX - which spent a lot of its time keeping the rest of the Internet out of its internal bulletin board back in the early days of Internet access.

Facebook posts not showing up on the search engines and hidden behind a sign up "pay with your privacy"-wall are very equivalent.

CIX forums still exist, but they are nowhere near as influential as they once were. Perhaps Facebook will go the same way.
It's not a 3rd grader.

This kind of weird characterisation that people keep bringing up is totally wrong. It's more like a savant, who can generate random stories that have no bearing on reality.

It's just a bit better than GPT-2, which spat out mostly incoherent crap.

What's interesting about this is that it seems like the approach still seems to scale, and at some point, it might make something that actually generates useful output... and the ability of the model to handle general NLP tasks is a bit better.

So yeah, it's interesting, but no, it's not a massive step forward for AI, in the way having an actual 3rd grader would be.

How the Coronavirus Recovery Is Changing Cities
This article uses a lot of big fag words. Downvote.
Great read. And scary, and frustrating.

What might be entirely coincidence, but I found interesting, was that this was a JetBlue flight from JFK. The one time I triggered the explosives detection machine was a JetBlue flight from JFK. I had almost nothing special - a carryon I've used many times before, with clothes and toiletries. I also had two small fossils I bought from the Evolution store in NYC, which the TSA agent seemed especially interested in retesting.

In my case though, I just had to deal with a thorough search of the carryon, confusion from other TSA agents (something like "oh, you searched the carryon? That wasn't necessary" from one agent to another) and listening to the main TSA agent wax poetic about how evolution is a lie and how climate change is a hoax.

> what do you think will replace police

A variety of domain-specialized community services organizations, many of which will have enforcement components, some armed, and probably at least one of which is investigatory/enforcement focussed, but no single monolithic paramilitary organization.

Not a neighborhood watch, but more like how federal law enforcement, and despite the fact that “state police” organizations do exist, that of most states, is organized.
I predicted every comment before I read it down to the one about the right cmd button I too have used the Mac while eating a taco.
Before analog monitors got a builtin delay for changing the video mode, you could intentionally wreck the device by writing a few lines of code in QBasic, and by the time someone had already power cycled the poor machine while troubleshooting, the evidence was long gone.
I'm failing to connect the anecdotes with the conclusion. He's claiming the the ML is scaling well but then gives the data on how GPT-3 is expensively brute-forcing its way to "success".

To me it just seems like what supercomputing is to normal computing: It makes the computationally expensive stuff do-able in a reasonable amount of time, or gives diminishing returns on existing algorithms. But it doesn't magic in any real advancements.

The problem in AI/ML and the concept of "AI winter" to me was always the barrier of the fact that we're just doing predictions, with no deep meaning or comprehension of features. The layman thinks there's magic, but there's not, so when that truth is revealed there will be problems. There's nothing intelligent about our Artificial Intelligence; we're just doing statistics with big data and added sprinkles. OpenAI just proved they could do statistics with even bigger data and more expensive sprinkles.

Has their work really shown we can get past that core problem? Personally, I don't see it.

As a wannabe power user, my impressions are:

> The presentation itself was kind of weird. From Apple, I would have expected something more elegant, less over the top, less humorous

> I'm very fond of the Steve Jobs analogy that computers are "bicycles for our minds". I have the feeling that Apple is adding training wheels to my bike rather than something useful like a suspension, a luggage rack or new lights.

The Touchbar is still there, there are no new (big?) functions in the operating system, I am personally not a fan of the redesign and buttons that only appear "when you need them" seem impractical. I believe that in one sentence, Craig echoed what the community has dreaded: Macs are degraded to development tools for iOS and the like.
Military people have had stories about police interactions for years and a large number of reservists and national guardsmen work for civilian police departments.

Police are generally highly biased in favor of military personnel regardless of their skin color outside of military base communities. For example if a person is pulled over, regardless of the validity of the stop or whether racial profiling is at play, the person is likely to drive away with only a warning if the officer happens to see a military ID and the person remains calm and polite. Military people have been sharing these stories for years.

Until I started working at the big bank the military is by far the most diverse group I have ever worked with.
You also need a company so you don't lose your house and life's savings if you're sued, too. That's what freelancers primarily create companies for. IRS doesn't really let you take advantage of any tax loopholes unless you employ a bunch of other people.
VCs are not necessarily wealthy at all. Only partners get real equity share (carry) and those can take 10+ years to return if at all.

The 1% management fee gives most employees like a normal tech salary, which after cost of living and taxes is pretty slave.

Agree on all the law enforcement spaghetti fucking up of course but this would never happen to an actual wealthy person.
Good for FLIR. A really revolutionary drone platform actually, super expensive though.
No, AdGuard desktop is basically a full-scale firewall with a network driver that intercepts all network connections.

Regarding Android, this works with the help of the VPN API.

1. Android routes all IP packets to the “tun” interface

2. AdGuard reads them, passes through its own small tcp/ip stack. On one side there is the tun device, on the other side there are real sockets to the IP packets destinations.

3. App detection can be done either by reading /proc/net/tcp or, on newer Android versions, by using special getConnectionUid method.

Regarding secure connections, besides IP filtering (which AG also can do) there is always SNI scanning. Also, there’s an option to MITM connections, in this case AG generates a unique CA locally and does all the certs validation by itself.

Nested nullable types collapse to the same type, meaning it's very easy for generic code to contain really subtle bugs. If you have some generic code that has a T? and assumes that whenever it is null it is not T, this assumption will be almost correct and very easy to miss during testing.

Also, it's very common to have option-style code and as your code evolves you need to refactor it to either/result-style code (that includes a reason why something was not present) - indeed I'd say this almost always happens in code that lives long enough. In kotlin this is unnecessarily difficult because it's impossible to write code that works with both nullable types and an either/result-like type, and since null has special language-level support you can't even use the same syntax.

YC is fucking bullshit, what is a flagged post? This has upvotes, not downvotes, but based on "flagged post" this doesn't show up unless I login?

My post again, and stop flagging it you angry H1B workers that leave 20 pairs of shoes outside of your hovel:

-----

There is no question H1B visa holders can escalate through the ranks and make a bunch of cash in the United States.

And that's exactly what is wrong with the entire thing. That entire teams of Indian H1B visa holders will immediately get whitey off the project, every single time, while making sure that the hiring manager and technical team leads are always Indian. This is the caste system, re-invented here the U.S. And you cannot get shit done if you are a competent engineer dealing with an offshore team or onshore H1B team. They will not do what you tell them to do. They will argue about every single point. They will trash your credibility and refuse to implement anything, using groupthink that controls the entire project. Managing a team of onshore H1B workers is nothing but interoffice politics that they completely control in all aspects. It's blatantly racist and has destroyed U.S. worker opportunity in the engineering fields, all of them.

H1B is a complete scam, especially in the Beltway / Northern Virginia area where everything is a billable contract. Headhunters get their fee and/or a large chunk of the first year's hourly revenue. The company hiring the H1B worker is on some federal project or grant and is making the spread between what the headhunter charges and the hourly rate on the contract. The hiring company couldn't give a shit less about the quality of work provided by Indian H1B workers, nor is a college degree granted from an Indian university anywhere near what is required in the U.S. from an engineering perspective - there is no comparison in the quality of education, nor have I ever met a single H1B engineer that was better than anything but a limited segment of technology that they specialize in, by design, because that requires their team in order to complete the project.

Makes total sense if you're the headhunter and hiring company, both of whom only care about having a warm body in a seat that is billable, and you can get three warm bodies in the seat for the price of one market rate position using H1B. It's complete bullshit, a scam on the taxpayer and attack on U.S. workers. Worthless 99% of the time, and the 1% of H1B engineers that actually do know what they are doing are not worth the damage the H1B program has done to the entire U.S. technical space.
I like this but one thing - it looks like the lights only show if a train is at a station , then goes off once it leaves, so seemingly you have random lights - instead of a light traversing a path. Or did I misunderstand looking at the gif?

Update: I do love this project I would really like this to be resolved so it’s perfect perhaps lights should stay on until the train reaches the next station?
