Classifiers are just one example of output, one where the final layer of output is interpreted to be probabilities of different items. Using a different loss function (or reward function), you can train for the output to be different things.

But in fact text generators work basically identically to classifiers. You train the model to classify texts according to which single word comes next. Then you append a word to the text according to that output, and repeat.
Can you elaborate a bit? I wasn't even aware that Medium does pay for articles...
AD does automatic differentiation, PLLs transform a generative model into some suitable form to perform automatic Bayesian inference, e.g. by using AD and black-box variational inference. Or said differently, in a PPL you specify the forward simulation of a generative process and the PPL helps to automatically invert this process using black-box algorithms and suitable transformations.

Without a PPL, you would traditionally write your code for your model and would have to implement a suitable inference algorithm yourself.
With a PPL you only specify the generative process and don't have to implement the inference side of things nor care about an implementation of your model that is suitable for inference.

I don't know why you talk about stagflation without explaining why it would happen.

>This _should_ stimulate people into buying a lot of things and therefore boost business (and GDP) as people all start essentially forcing each other to work harder, hire more help, etc. but may backfire as people see it as a reason to start finding inflation-proof investment options.

Businesses are inflation proof investment options. The real reason why stagflation happens is that the supply side can't respond to government induced demand. There is actually a pretty convenient scapegoat for this right now. Governments effectively closed businesses that can't work remotely to prevent the spread of the virus. Induced demand can't reopen those closed businesses so stagflation could happen. However, if it does happen, how long would it last? It certainly won't take a decade and I'm optimistic that everything will be fine in less than 5 years.
Those people weren’t killed for the purpose of entertainment. The initial videos were made by terrorists, to terrorize, not to entertain. Remixes aren’t “snuff” films, otherwise any compilation video on /r/watchpeopledie would qualify.
I was quite intrigued by semi-proposal of building a meta social network (it starts around 1:37:45). He proposes a service where anyone can start a social network using any features of existing ones (Facebook feed, Twitter conversation, Reddit threads...), with each network cultivating its own rules and reward function (criteria for what content is reshared or upvoted).

On one hand it's over-ambitious and doomed to fail, and yet it could lead to more coherent and constructive hive mind.
Explaining why it was and why it would still be a disaster would bring actual intellectual value to your comment.

Apple did nothing for years after Corellium sold their product to the public, coincidentally they did file the lawsuit right after announcing that they would do “research-fused devices”.

I reckon that's 3 years away...

Current assistant features rely on trying to match your query fuzzily to an action template. Eg. "Set alarm for 10pm" might match the template "Make alarm at time {TIME}", with $TIME=22:00. Minor transformations of parameters can occur (Converting the time from 10pm to 22:00), but those are mostly hard-coded.

Future assistants will use a neural network to do the matching and parameter conversion, with the networks big enough to encode world data. So things like "Mcdonalds beside the target" can be encoded by the neural net so your query matches "Navigate to ${ADDRESS}", with $ADDRESS="Mcdonalds, 21 Foo Avenue".

It's all do-able today, but nobody has done it yet. Probably 3 years away I'd guess.
Which still might not be enough legal basis, and when it does, it is specific for one country among 195 acknowledged countries.
Do they not realize? It's just served as a convenience for family trees and cure together services. Same mechanism with any "social app" that asks access to all your phone contacts to "easy friends discovery": you may have never used Tiktok or Facebook but they already know quite a few things about you thanks to an acquaintance. I know DNA stuff seems scarier in the long run but data from an address book are more easily exploitable.
> Maybe I missed it, but what device is on the other end of the COM connection? His router?

The plan was to use a Raspberry Pi to access the two PCs (via USB-to-serial adapters), though he hasn't made it to that point yet ("I have not used it for this project yet, but it is still in my plans."). Right now, the two PCs are just connected to each other, back-to-back.

> What's the reason against SSH'ing from the gateway to the servers instead of the physical COM connection?

I would assume that he does just use SSH -- under normal circumstances.

It's when SSH access isn't available that access via the serial console would be used -- such as the network connection being down or b0rked, when the kernel (or required) modules failed to boot/build/load properly, a bad firewall change has locked you out, and so on. This method even provides access to the bootloader.

If your BIOS supports "console redirection" (to a serial port), you also gain access to the BIOS, can watch the startup (POST) process, or even change the boot device -- in order to fire off a kickstart installation, for example.

He mentioned that his PCs don't have ILO/DRAC/IPMI, so this is his backup solution. -- remember that his machines are headless.
One could hardly make the argument that those videos were made to entertain anybody for their enjoyment. Terrorists make videos to terrorize, i.e. scare, people, not for people to enjoy.

Relevant from yesterday: https://robertheaton.com/preventing-impossible-game-levels-u...
As a former maths student, I loved the "compressibility" of using symbols for things like "forAll" and "thereExists". They're quicker to write and allow fitting in more information in less space, two qualities which become highly useful when taking tests in limited amounts of time on sheets of paper with limited space (albeit needing more paper to fit your test answers on is more arguable in it's negativity).

For a (even more) subjective point of view, as part of my studies I had oral practicals every 2 weeks or so where I was basically standing at a whiteboard along with 2 classmates, each solving problems given to us by an examiner for ~1 hour. It's simply easier for a lot of students to draw a symbol that's legible from 5 meters away than some words without making them huge.

In the original discussions, people were reporting different degrees of ease of finding his name via Google. Some said it came up in autocomplete on Google when you started typing his name, whereas others didn't get this, including myself. Perhaps it was influenced by region, as I'm outside the U.S.

Of course it became a whole lot easier to identify him soon after he took down his blog, as it suddenly became a much bigger discussion topic online.

But being written about in the NYT still takes it to a whole new level. Without that, it's just something that nerds like us talk about on obscure discussion forums like this. When it's in a feature article in the NYT, it becomes something ordinary people talk about at dinners and cocktail parties.

Sure. Medium paywall works surprisingly well. You simply need to publish your article and activate Medium paywall after a very simple KYC.

The point is that if you don't have an audience/publication, no one will find your article. That's why it is usually better to publish your content under a publication focused in the same topic than your article. If you are lucky, Medium will also promote the article in their newsletter and in Medium homepage and visits will boost.

Then Medium pays you a fee based on the article performance. It is not clear what parameters they consider to calculate the fee, but it seems to be a mix between views and reader time.

Yeah - I think the ideal agreed was about 2%, but maybe that was just the monetarists who prefered it around 2%, I am not sure what other schools propose, maybe 4% is Keynesian? But the point is that what everyone tried to have inflation in a controlled way. The idea was that central banks can do that, but apparently that did not work well enough. Now we are back to letting governments control inflation - and the historical precedent is that this easily leads to hiperinflation.

Good advice is only actionable when it's also timely. "Hire slow and fire fast", for example, is not helpful advice for a founder who's still trying to get seed funding -- hiring is a problem they want to have. So the advice is good but they're not likely to remember it.

You can't expect someone to squirrel away every bit of good advice, just waiting for a time when it's useful.

I mean, there are plenty of times when I've slapped my head and said, "Oh, that's what they were talking about"... but mostly they told me when I didn't have the problem, and then I remembered too late :-\

Also, this pissed me off:

Googler here. I used to feel very guilty during my first year here, because my productivity was so ridiculously low. Yet I was being praised for being fast and productive (both by my team, and by my manager).
Then over time this feeling started fading away (since I could clearly see that everyone was unproductive, not just me), and I started seeing this as the new normal.
Everyone works way below their potential, and a lot of time is wasted through internal processes, subpar development tools, and massive overengineering.
Part of me believes that many people are hired so that they don't go build competing products.
If you think about these things in terms of "should" and "who's responsibility" you will never understand how it works.

What are the founder's other alternatives? What are there other early stage & incubation options? YC simply does have to compete with that.

I mean, look. Take your idea to the extreme - why do they pay a stipend at all? Why not force the founders to sleep in tubes above the office/outside on the street and supply just enough soylent, huel & low-dosage amphetamines to keep their brain working?

And if that's true, then systemd actually hinders progress and innovation, because the cost of replacement will be too high.

It's hard to deny that that a hard lockdown similar to the Chinese or the Italian one would have spared some of those lives, but it would have come with other costs (which, as you point, also cost lives).

So the "preventable" is speculative as well, nobody knows what would have happened with a lockdown , but there is an indication: the neighbouring Denmark was having a very fast spread of the disease until they imposed lockdown (which was a political decision) and they have had -until now- a much lower death toll per inhabitant.

But both approaches are reasonable IMHO. The Swedish strategy is based on pessimistic assumptions: we cannot stop the disease and the vaccine will be available late, if ever, therefore let's try to live with it and limit the damage. Herd immunity will eventually stop it. The Danish approach is more optimistic: let's block this now, whatever it costs, and hope that some cure (or a vaccine) comes before the disease starts spreading again.

Which approach will make less victims in the long run? We'll see, but both are bets.
There's a law from 1992 that describes the process of "state of emergency" and decrees

https://www.gazzettaufficiale.it/eli/id/1992/03/17/092G0253/...

Starting from article 5. It seems that any such state of emergency can last up to 12 months and be extended for 12 more months. The current state of emergency is going to last until the end of July, and there are discussions about extending it.

That's a regular law, not part of the constitution, article 77 of the constitution provides further rules:

https://www.senato.it/1025?sezione=127&articolo_numero_artic...

It's not clear, and I'm not a constitutional lawyer, but I found some interesting articles that describe the situation:

https://www.agensir.it/italia/2020/05/07/dpcm-e-coinvolgimen...

Context: the emergency acts are "decreto legge" and "dpcm" they are listed here:

http://www.governo.it/it/coronavirus-normativa

And this explains what dpcm are:

https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decreto_ministeriale_(ordina...

Apparently, article 77 describes 2 deadlines: 5 days for the parliament to vote on the decrees and 60 days for the laws to be finalized.

I think that the crux of the issue is: whatever is inside those "decreto legge/dpcm", it has to be approved by parliament... There have been multiple such decrees, and the only controversial point is for how long can a parliament decision be delayed (in theory only for up to 5 days, but I'm starting to get lost in details).

Due to how many decrees have been created, I'd need to check for when each one of them has been (or is being planned to be) voted on
