Your entire premise is flawed imo.

>If everybody gave the same money to free software developers, they'd have plenty of resources to build interfaces that are more to your satisfaction.

You're just arguing to pay for software, but in a more roundabout way. And again, great looking software existed far before the popularity rise in always-online.
Languages like Ocaml and Haskell are both around Java speed, though. And even though both languages have more primitive GCs than Java, in practice, they tend to use less memory and have lower latency.

I can only think of one situation when using Ocaml that I had to think about the GC (I was allocated huge floating point arrays), while I can't even count the number of times I had to deal with a runaway heap or unacceptably long pauses. The last JVM version I've really used was 7, though. Perhaps things have gotten better?
Never understood this fascination with "crapping in the woods" so to speak. We have evolved past not having to do that yet some want to find their way back to the same old for some reason.

In the end, this seems like different goals - some just want to enjoy nature but not live in any delusion that we need to be more paleolithic to have the most authentic experience, others crave this process more than the end location. I identify more with the former group, and an RV sounds like a better bet for people like that.

I would be curious to know which is the least destructive to the places been to and the environment though. If the RV is worse, maybe that's one argument. But I'm not sure that makes sense - someone who stays in the hotel might end up costing more in resources maybe?
Don't know the range of their bounty program but seems like this exploit is circumstantial on finding a subdomain which was left hanging. Once they registered that subdomain on their own account, this exploit seizes to be effective by third parties so reproducibility is minimal (subdomain can be registered once). Unless you plan to sell the exploit once to one client or just re-use it once at a time by selling access to it (too much trouble, centralized risk).

Absolutely--this is a standard practice in a lot of flight training. Some places use "cockpit procedure trainers," which are basically plywood mockups of aircraft cockpits, featuring all the switches in the right places but no simulation capabilities. It only takes a few hours of practice to learn to locate and identify an arbitrary switch or instrument in the cockpit with your eyes closed. CPTs are fantastic for learning all kinds of procedures and building good habit patterns without the expense of a full-blown sim or actual flight.

The value of fresh users is much higher than stale years old data. This is why google has agreed to start dumping people's data after 18 months by default. Also, if you cut ties cleanly enough, they can't monetize the information they have on you regardless because they can't tie your account to your browsing. (That last bit is arguably the toughest part).

> Because, more often than not, it turns out that the old system had evolved to deal with a crazy number of edge-cases that were, in fact, really, really important.

The problem is that a lot of crufty old systems evolved to deal with a crazy number of edge cases that no longer exist.

Or they started out with a bad assumption, and then had some hacks applied to deal with the problems that caused, and then had some other hacks applied to deal with the problems those hacks caused, until nobody can see from one end to the other.

It's important to be able to tell the difference between something which is complicated because it's dealing with a complicated problem and something which is complicated because it's hot garbage.

> Like, most of us think homelessness is bad, and most of us want to help the homeless, but how few people actually directly invest their own money -- which I would argue is more important than donating time -- towards actually solving that problem?

The trouble with many of these issues is that they're results rather than causes.

Why is someone homeless? For one person it's mental illness, for another it's unemployment, for another it's drugs, for another it's housing costs.

So if you want to solve homelessness, all you have to do is solve mental health, unemployment, drug policy and zoning. And then six other problems that caused six other people to be homeless.

Which, it turns out, somebody needed to solve anyway, but now you've got to pick something to focus on. And I think that's where people have trouble.

Purity in My Programming: Functions in Go
I got excited for a minute, and then I looked into the m4v2, and their software support just feels... hacky? Like, they support several flavors of Ubuntu, and a... (at the time they released it last fall) 2 year old version of Android?

I guess the question here is one I have with every non-RPi board: if the company behind NanoPi disappears tomorrow, can I continue to run a current version of a distro, forever, using a vanilla Linux kernel? If not... I'll pass, thanks.

While the RPi Foundation has their own fork of Debian and the Linux kernel, you can run stock Debian with a stock kernel on it just fine, and some of the missing drivers are being upstreamed all the time. The community has built images based on various other distros as well.

I recently went through the difficult process of taking an old (commercial) NAS that was running Debian squeeze and an ancient 2.6.31 kernel, and upgrading it to Debian buster and a 5.6 kernel. I was incredibly lucky that a hobbyist had upstreamed support for its hardware a bunch of years ago. If it hadn't been for that, I would have been stuck. I expect that sort of thing from a commercial appliance, but for a board I'm buying for its hackability, I expect to not be tied to the company that makes it for software updates.
> I don't follow this. If we have a biased objective function, the model won't surface any biases we weren't already cognizant of in the objective function. And they were already quantifiable: we had a function that we were using to evaluate the model. We could use that same function on whatever non-model evaluation we were doing.

We can actually follow the logic of the model. For instance, you can theoretically de-bias a dataset by building a racial classifier from it. What you need is an objective test for the presence of racial information, and that's easy to obtain: Build a classifier to explicitly predict race from your feature set. Train an adversarial model to reconstruct your dataset with maximum fidelity, subject to the constraint that race can no longer be predicted from it.

> This is basically directly in contradiction to what leading experts on the subject say. ML cannot fix bias in human systems, unless we presuppose that those systems are biased, in which case we can often address the bias in the human systems directly without ML.

These experts are just wrong, then. Naive ML won't fix bias in human systems, but that doesn't mean we can't use ML to fix it, if we do so thoughtfully.

> You can still have decisions be made by objective expert systems without complex ML. If you want to learn someone's IQ, the best way is to debias the IQ test, not to try and infer it from their face bones.

Sure, but there are a lot of things that we don't do in the best possible way because it's too expensive. There are lots of use cases for cheap, scalable, low precision models.

> If we can measure the bias in the output of an ML model, we can equivalently measure the bias in the output of a human system. You're presupposing the existence of some unbiased objective function which we don't have, and that's at the core of the issue.

Right, but we cannot fix the bias in a human. And humans are heterogenous and inconsistent. The same person may be more or less biased on different days. The ML model is consistent, and we can incrementally improve its bias in tangible and testable ways. The same is not true of humans.
Being awarded a bug bounty suggests that there was a bug that was fixed. But this was actually a misconfiguration, wasn't it? Any Azure account with a dangling subdomain and unrestricted reply-to is still vulnerable to this attack, correct?
You oughta open a FB quarterly presentation some day, it is quite eye opening how off the charts they are in terms of user monetization. $20 yearly wouldn't cut it at all, in North America the average revenue per user (ARPU, trailing 12-months) is about $145 (yes, $145 * 253M monthly active users). It's not even enough to match the worldwide ARPU (about $29, for 2.6B users). The value FB extracts from it's users, particularly in NA, is simply astonishing, I'll leave you to Googling the ARPU of other web platforms to get an idea.

You have it exactly backwards though. Its humans that obstruct accountability, because they are opaque and inconsistent. ML is consistent and inspectable. It cannot lie to you about its motivations. It is infinitely more accountable than any human system ever will be.
The last time I looked, the money Apple earned from the entirety of the MFi program — not just cables, but every single third-party Apple accessory on Earth — made up less than one half of one percent of their annual revenue. It's such a vanishingly small part of their business.

It's far more likely that the purpose of MFi is to make sure that any officially licensed accessories aren't pieces of shit that Apple will cop the blame for. Most users aren't going to blame the cable manufacturer when their phone won't charge properly, since the vast majority of people have no idea about the complexities of modern charging protocols, so they're going to mistakenly think the phone is at fault and blame Apple.
This looks like it belongs in a video game.
>"The Greeks were the originators of this conception. They imagined that 'things' were built out of smaller things, like atoms and molecules. When the atomic theory came about, they expected the atoms themselves to have some sort of mass, shape and size, and to be a microcosm of more things. Let's take sand as an example. To the careless eye, sand seems like a fluid, since quantities of it appear to freely merge and split, but on closer inspection, it's just a bunch of tiny objects which can be described as individual `things' interacting with each other.

The world of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory introduce a different conception of what things are though. It turns out that elementary particles can't be thought of as individual 'things' which have a volume.

In fact, if atoms did have a volume, physics wouldn't work.

We would end up with "surfaces" of electrons behaving in an impossible manner and spinning faster than the speed of light.

Well then, you say, what if atoms aren't objects with a volume, but points in space? It turns out that this notion isn't easily prone to interpretation either! No one actually knows or understands what a 'point mass' is! It also has a bizarre implication: if indeed we did have volume-less point masses, we obtain something with an infinite density!

In theory, the entire universe could be squeezed to a single point!"

> He was kicked out for his sexual behavior

That's a serious charge. To my, knowledge, sexual harassment was alleged but not proven.

Can you point to any evidence supporting your allegation?

Let's not forget that it's easy to allege but our legal system requires proof.

I'll bite.

Yes, almost exclusively. To the point where I made a list of my favorite two hundred publishers as an interest list and used that as my FB link in my browser toolbar. It makes a great link aggregator.

I also had separate topic lists, one just for recipes (17 follows), one just for tech news (60 follows), science (33 follows), entertainment (29 follows), art (24 follows), business (26 follows), and world news (58 follows). For some reason none of those lists work anymore, they all had to be recreated after a certain date, as a "custom list" instead of an "interest list". The basic workaround is, follow a page, add it to your list, unfollow it.

Conversely, I can have a list of just close friends, same thing applies, I only see their posts, not anything else.

The thing about lists is I could have multiple feeds instead of one news feed, and I can pick the feed I want.

FB is killing the list feature over time, I'm surprised it works in any capacity. It's not in the new redesign, and it's not in mobile.

It’s a welcome change from the rest of medicine that the brain seems to somewhat positively react to all sorts of random interventions: magnetic fields, direct current, LSD, and now, apparently, ultrasound.

While these experiments seem to hint at very specific mechanisms at work, maybe there’s also a general principle of (mild) change or challenge being supportive in helping a an errand brain’s active return-to-the-mean.

This is correct. That's because the "Charging" screen also sometimes has OEM or carrier branding on, and error messages that might need to be i18n translated eg. "battery failure", "overheat". It's much easier to do that with a separate component rather than give every OEM the ability to flash and recompile firmware.

The most important advancements in machine learning for the next 10 years at least will be in hardware, and the software to take advantage of said hardware. You could even say that was already true starting with AlexNet, but it's even more obvious now with these enormous models.

We've barely scratched the surface of what's possible. Even if Moore's Law was dead (though it seems that TSMC may keep it alive for a bit longer) there are huge gains to be had when co-designing models and hardware. Stuff like https://www.cerebras.net/ is the direction I expect things to go.
I think I see now why someone else asked, "Would it be okay if the legend was horizontal?" Because then you don't have the "on top/below" connotation. Is that what you mean by "portrayed as negative", because they are visually lower?

Re how faces are emotionally loaded, that is somewhat the point of using Chernoff faces as a visualization method, though I understand your concern that therefore it SHOULD not be used as such a method because it will convey ideas not implied in the data because of how we interpret faces.

Fundamentally though, to go to this data set in particular and away from the merit or otherwise of Chernoff faces, there's always going to be a tension to depicting the correlation between race and wealth in the US. One way or the other, you have to say the same thing - Blacks are poorer; and/or Blacks have lower factors of general well-being (though somewhat unintuitively, not lower levels of hopefulness.) And you can't avoid the fact that if you have a data visualization that really brings home the correlation then someone is bound to assume causation in the wrong direction and feel the data validates their racist feelings.

But that doesn't make the attempt at using that visualization a racist one.
Great! Thanks for replying and consideration.
