> Most "knowledge" deep learning systems have seems tacit to me

it's an interesting question if they're actually tacit in the human sense or not. At the base level even deep learning systems certainly rely on digital manipulation. It's almost certain that the human-brain due to speed constraints of biochemical processes doesn't run on tons of matrix-multiplication or loss functions, so it's an open question I guess if deep learning systems really just resemble the tacit capacity of humans or if there's something fundamentally different in the architecture of organic systems that cannot be replicated at least in today's machines. Which I think is actually fairly likely to be honest and I always wonder why it's disregarded.

It's funny that the top comment of this chain asserts dualism, but I think dualism is overwhelmingly common among CS folks, who almost seem to treat intelligence like some sort of platonic thing, completely ignoring the stuff it's made out of.

The blog is still "wasting" or "leveraging" the same amount of power as it did before.

The money invested / and the solar cells could have been used to mitigate the carbon footprint for other power uses, but instead it's being used here for the blog. Shutting down the blog is how to get back ahead, if your goal is to reduce carbon footprint.

just pointing out that the carbon footprint of the blog and the carbon mitigation of the investment are independent events, they don't need to be tied together.
>Right. And some apps like WebEx turn on the camera by default, which is insane but happens and until you click to turn it off, you're live.

Not to mention apps that do it "right" like Hangouts that enable the camera for you to preview your video feed before you're actually live. Could be pretty confusing/concerning for someone who isn't used to an app (and when it broadcasts you or not) and sees the light come on. A cover takes that whole thought worry-pitfall out of the possibilities.
You raise good points, but it's well past midnight here on the East Coast of the US and I need to go to sleep. So in lieu of attempting an adequate response, did you see Scott Aaronson's parallel piece: https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=4892. I think it tries to answer some of your questions, although I'm not sure if it succeeds. And this one by Sarah Jeong is more sympathetic to the cancelling side, but might do a little better on the "amorphousness" aspect: https://www.theverge.com/21320338/letter-harpers-writers-fre....

Gabe Brown has been doing regenerative agriculture for over two decades on Brown's Ranch, over 2000 acres, in Bismarck, North Dakota successfully. Food crops plus cover crops plus livestock, all integrated. Lot of good results compared to neighboring farmers doing the traditional synthetic fertilizer / pesticide / tilling / monoculture approach.

There are others like him too.

And he's been invited to and giving a lot of talks about it at many confs for years:

Someone help me understand this. If China and India get into a conflict, doesn't that mean each side would be trying to get the other's exports banned? Which means, effectively, Foxconn is handicapping itself?
Where are you seeing results for online testing? Seems to be tricky to find as most of the ones I have seen have been cancelled or "no walk-in / call ahead". Also thanks for prompting this and keep ham radio alive :)
I don't believe that zero days exist in a circuit, no. The LED is not software. You cannot power up the camera without powering up the LED.
Excellent! (And presumably more robust than the scheme I described.)
Or one could post exclusively about one's interests and nothing even remotely political. That's what I have in my blog.

Of course, not the same applies to my twitter and facebook accounts. I've never posted anything really controversial, but there are some political posts. I remain optimistic, though, maybe I won't have to delete them. Hopefully.
The word for caste in sanskrit is Varna, which literally means 'Colour', it is a colour based racial system. Otherwise I dont see what purpose does it serve other than classifying people like a canines.
While looking at the technical, also look at the commercial. Can you trace revenue sources to aws costs? In other words calculate your variable costs for each client/contract individually?

Eg are there some clients losing you money that you can either let go or raise prices for?
Yup that is what 'Joe Armstrong' @joeerl once suggested'

That one had already been answered:

I couldn’t agree more. As a developer, PWAs are amazing. Write once, run more or less everywhere. Our enterprise software deployments wouldn’t have been possible if we had to target iOS, Android and Windows specifically.

As an end user, I dread the days PWAs ever go mainstream. They’re horribly inefficient from a power and performance point of view, and never have I come across a PWA with a user experience half as good as native apps (especially on mobile). Until they’re indistinguishable from native apps in terms of user experience, I want nothing to do with them. Beyond that, there’s some very serious privacy concerns as well with PWAs, especially with developers abusing APIs for fingerprinting
> It leaves out MUSLIMS.

All those three countries in the context have Islam as their state religion. I would always welcome Muslim refugees in India but what was the point of partition if Muslims are suffering religious oppression in countries that were created as safe heavens for Muslims? Should we undo it?

And even recent searches show that minorities (the religions covered under the CAA) are not exactly doing better in those countries.

Sounds familiar =\

- get devs on GPU laptops

- for always-on, where doable, switch to an 8a - 6p policy, and reserved. Call aws for a discount.

- use g4dn x spot. Check per workload tho, it assumes single vs double.

- consider if can switch to fully on-demand if not already , and hybrid via GCP's attachable GPUs

- make $ more visible to devs. Often individuals just don't get it, too easy to be sloppy.

More probably doable, but increasingly situation dependent
Developer tools is a broad term. My subjective opinion:

* If you mean code libraries (e.g. a licensing model)? I don’t think a lot of people would pay for that these days.

* Managed solutions for sure, most developers and small companies are happy to outsource anything that reeks of devops.

* IDEs etc, yup worth every penny.
Ha, I'm responsible for this as I was insisting on scrolling over hundreds of 3-6 min soundbites to find the 1h+ concert I was after, even if Google made it nigh impossible to find in the last couple months. Seriously, we need a new (paid) music download service; Apple Music doesn't carry all the titles I want anymore, and the videos on yt are just consuming bandwidth anyway.
i don’t understand the argument that you trust apple enough to use their os but not be enough to believe their green light
The author of the article specifically says this: I have earlier said that neural networks need not be programmed, and therefore can handle tacit knowledge.

Also you are misunderstanding what tacit means. It doesn't mean anything mystical - merely that it is gained from observations rather than logically reasoning about something.
> I'm not even sure how to avoid writing explicit type annotations for Int, String, and [Int] there; maybe OCaml makes it easy

It does make it easy. OCaml has a full matrix of types:

- Nominal product types (records)

- Nominal sum types (variants)

- Structural product types (objects)

- Structural sum types (polymorphic variants)

You could actually always use structural types and never have to actually define types. But OCaml people actually really like the nominal types because their typing rules are stricter and easier for people to understand. But the structural types can come in really handy, e.g. they give you a very convenient way to encode data between libraries that don't need to know about each other. E.g. there is an effort to add JSON-structured output to the OCaml compiler itself. This is using a polymorphic variant type to represent the JSON data type, to avoid having a dependency on any particular JSON library, but still being compatible with popular OCaml JSON libraries ( https://ocaml-community.github.io/yojson/yojson/Yojson/index... ).

Well, I can't speak to Apple's intentions, but consider they did the same thing with their laptop touchpads as they did the iPhone button. The touchpad used to actually depress, now it just vibrates to simulate feedback.
I'm afraid that you're probably right. So what should I have done differently? What could have changed pvg's mind, or at least generated something like a respectful and substantive discussion in which they explained the reasons for their differing views (which you'll see that I did manage with several other posters who disagree with me in this thread)?

A snarky original post like the one I wrote here starts from a negative interaction with someone who disagrees, which I agree is bad. You'll find mostly more nuanced comments in my history, including those about semi-political topics like the coronavirus; but those mostly get no replies at all.

The article specifically says "I have earlier said that neural networks need not be programmed, and therefore can handle tacit knowledge."

The OP comments here is just wrong: it misunderstands what tacit means, and mischaracterizes the argument in the article.

I am actually in favor of a UBI, as long as it is truly universal. That means money every month, no questions asked.

I agree with your point: under a true UBI, workers would be able to seek their passions, do whatever they like to do. Doesn't matter if the position is risky or if the pay is low. Worst case scenario, if anything goes wrong, people can fall back on UBI and have their basic needs covered.

In my comment I meant to talk about the guaranteed government job thing that the article mentioned. In that case workers wouldn't have the kind of mobility or guarantees granted by UBI. Startups would actually be competing with the government for people.

I apologize I misused the term UBI before (which is what caused the confusion.)

Unlike the US, Foxconn has functioning plants in India where they are already making iPhones and Nokia devices.

This investment is not a greenfield one like in the US. It's further investment in an already successful venture. So very few chances of a Wisconsin repeat.
There will be no 'exodus of existential consequence'.

But there will be a shift away.

China is producing a level of design and manufacture that nobody can compete with.

Other countries can take on some of the low-end stuff, but there's just a lot they will not be able to do.

China has an educated workforce that also works at very low wages, and a government bent on providing the infrastructure necessary to make it all work.

I've heard about various VECs experimenting with online testing by reading the news on QRZ.com or eham.net, though another ham recently mentioned that hamstudy.org now lists online test sessions:

I haven't tried online testing yet. I've been putting off upgrading to Amateur Extra class, though I'll probably try one of those online test sessions eventually.
You can't actually have a statically-typed language without type inference. Otherwise if you tell the compiler `(5 + 2) : String`, how would it report a type error?

There are tons of ways to (legally) avoid taxes in France. However, those ways are not applicable to regular workers. And that may be unfair...

You don’t want to pay the (ex-IFS) IFI tax? Doable: just make a real estate company. Want to pay even less tax when you have more than one house? Make two real estate companies and keep them under a holding company (consolidated accounting).

You want to pay less real estate income tax? Do the "Loi Pinel" stuff. Too lazy to manage physical real estate? Just buy some SCPI shares (taxes are the same!)

You want to make money with stocks without paying tax? Open a "PEA" brokerage account (up to 150k€, not including composed interests) or open an "Assurance Vie" and keep them at least 5/8 years.

You can avoid taxes in France. Unfortunately, that’s only for a small fraction of the French people.
Indians entered america approx 8000 years ago. Many were nomadic hunter/gathering cultures, which have no defined territory. They followed animal herds, etc., so a map of their area is very approximate at best.

Recently the oldest skeleton was found, and it was caucasian! Caused quite a stir.

Remember that humans have been around for millions of years, and traveled in groups of around 200 people for most of that time. Organization came much later.
A few years after the project was created, I was contacted occasionally by people who wanted to assist in developing a 64-bit port. This required the same technical depth in kernel hacking as recreating the thing, and quite a lot of work. Unfortunately I was occupied with other things and it never fell through. Also, hardware-assisted virtualization came about the same years and made the project somewhat obsolete. It was still very good for its time!
Is there any evidence that the virus can survive passage through a normal air filter/AC system and infect humans?
There are good reasons to want a camera cover that physically blocks the camera from being used that are not addressed by an indicator light (especially prevention versus disclosing).

But my guess is Apple recommends that users not block the camera because Face ID will someday make it to macOS.
I think Cobol programmers get $60k in Austin, which is about $20k a year less than the lowest paid Java developer gets in the area, so I would guess that the shortage is a result of low pay. Also, Cobol depends on a lot of institutional knowledge since they are not likely to be building greenfield systems. This would make it hard for someone who knew the Cobol language to really know what the system they are programming on does and get started extending its usage. And it seems like the less a programmer is paid, the less patience management has with them.

MARK IV is the oldest language in use that I know of that I have personally had contact with, and I've had contact with it recently. I would say that the issue isn't just finding Cobol programmers, but a mix of mainframe specific languages and technologies no longer in wide use outside of mainframes' data warehouse solutions, such as DB2 and VSAM.

The main problem with Cobol, REXX, JCL and MARK IV is that the solutions/problems encountered cannot just be google'd through stackoverflow or some online forum. Institutional knowledge from 30 year experienced self-starters or solution specific candidates with 30 years of experience in a piece of the project needing assistance who is willing to be a self-starter for gaining experience enough in the other technologies the mainframe uses.
The HP Spectre x360 line has had physical kill switches to the camera for some time now. I think since the 2018 version. Still waiting for the microphone switch though.
> Why would any PWA say that, if Safari had proper support for PWA?

For the same reason that far too many desktop websites say that today.

> Say the developer is from a village in India or Nigeria who has just a Raspberry Pi to develop apps

Apple is not catering to this developer demographic.

> For all the times Apple uses 'Equality' in its marketing, the Apple platform & ecosystem restrictions clearly seems to be aimed at the privileged

You're conflating developers with users. What fraction of iPhone users are writing apps? If you wanted to prioritize users, there's much tougher questions you could ask.
> Also India is just about as democratic as Putins Russia.

Lol! A case of sour grapes?
>US dollars are the only accepted means to pay taxes.

I agree with this, of course. But there is also a method that allows me to convert my AUS dollar in to US dollar. I just paid my taxes with $AUS?

Does the logic follow: $BTC->$USD->USTAXES ?
I had the same thought, also making the "virtual hour hand" dimmer would instantly distinguish it from the minutes, and you could also add another "virtual second hand" that visibly "rotates" around the dial to further enhance the analogue-ness.
It's all in the way you communicate things... People should never feel fooled, but you can show them something that doesn't exist yet to start their imagination.

Programming Servo: the bird’s-eyes view
GPU servers and coloc are pretty cheap these days. $1K/m rent per 20A of power. ROI on hardware is usually 3-4 months max (ie - for the cost the machine at AWS for 3-4 months, you can buy the same thing).

Lead time might be a problem for you but you can probably do it in a under a month if you take available stock at your vendor. I work with a company called PogoLinux (http://pogolinux.com) out of Seattle and they sell boxes that have 4 GPUs in them.

That said -- the other advice is right. You can probably get by with a much simpler model. The coloc route would probably only be better if you are can't change the models due to people constraints and the ML stuff doesn't have a lot of AWS dependencies. SysAdmins are a lot easier to find and hire than ML specialists.

> So the main argument is that humans have intelligence that is impossible to express through reason or codification. In other words, humans have a literal soul, divorced from physical world, that cannot be expressed in our physical world thus making any endeavour to create artificial intelligence impossible.

No, it just means there is no simple symbolic path that is human understandable towards human level intelligence. We need systems like neural nets and simulators to 'learn' things that can't be directly formalised. And we have tried for 50 years to formalise intelligence in symbolic representations.

This may not be relevant at all to the topic at hand, but they also made concessions for their budget (which HBO likely does, too). The pilot was written for East LA where nearby JPL was where his former founders worked. They shot the series in New Mexico because of the film subsidies. Many shows may not have been green-lit without subsidies.

I've had an amateur radio license since I was 14, and I got it through a collaboration with our local radio club and the boy scouts. I don't use my license enough, but I love having it.

One of my absolute favorite memories growing up was when we did a camping trip during a field day. A field day is basically an annual global contest to see who you can contact and how far you can reach out. We setup a massive portable antenna in the woods, and I stayed up ALL NIGHT on one of our more powerful SSB radios reaching out to people all across the world. Like Ukraine, Denmark, Ireland, Australia, and more (I'm in the US). Young me was so fascinated with talking with those people, that I'm pretty certain it was one of the first times I experienced sonder.

OCaml also has a really good subtyping implementation in the often-used polymorphic variant system. I'll just quote from http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2014/02/13/ocaml-what-you-gain... :

> Their real purpose is to support subsets and supersets, which are useful all over the place.

And indeed they are super useful, e.g. I am using them to implement functions that deal with web responses: some can deal with only HTTP responses, some with only WebSocket responses, and some with either. All completely type-safe and extensible.
That's a difficult thing to test directly, so I think most people reason it out. In this case, you think about the virus, its interaction with air particles, and the interaction with a typical AC system with and without (unheated) filtration. I think the issue with ordinary filtration is that the virus is very small and can pass through most filters; by heating it the virus only needs to collide with the hot filter once, or (I think) get knocked around by fast air molecules to become unviable (is "killed" the right term for a virus that may not be "alive"?)

Long story short, I think this invention looks great and I for one would use one, especially in cold climates where I already want to heat up the air.
