Not to discredit you, but you postulate things like "9 out of 10 times" and generally "low software quality" but don't support your statements. It certainly is not my experience that this is (more, or at all) common in the Rust ecosystem.

If an application author uses things like unwrap or expect (two of the most common ways to abort the program with a panic) that is indeed lazy software engineering. But these are also one of the first things that are called out when an inexperienced Rust user asks for feedback on their program in the forum, so should be quite uncommon in any program which is more than a toy or prototype.

Again, not to say that you did not experience this, but just pointing out that it is definitely neither idiomatic nor usual practice.

Edit: There is indeed one point where the Rust community could do better to further reduce the number of panic-ing operations: Some time ago, it was not easy to use the error propagation operator "?" in documentation examples, so some documentation still shows examples which make use of expect or unwrap, possibly guiding inexperienced users towards a bad style. Those will hopefully vanish more or less completely in the near future.

>> Recent models have repeatedly matched human-level performance on
increasingly difficult benchmarks—that is, in English using labelled datasets
with thousands and unlabelled data with millions of examples. In the process,
as a community we have overfit to the characteristics and conditions of
English-language data. In particular, by focusing on high-resource languages,
we have prioritised methods that work well only when large amounts of labelled
and unlabelled data are available.

This is an interesting observation. Training on large datasets tends to be
framed as a strength, e.g. we have recently seen articles praising OpenAI's
GPT-3 for being, well, big. The truth is that model size (and the assorted
dataset size) is a bug, not a feature. It is the result of a dearth of
research on approaches with low sample complexity. Or in other words, it's the
result of consistently picking the low-hanging fruit and calling sour grapes
on any domain for which there isn't sufficiently large data ("who cares about
Swahilli?").

>> In contrast, most current methods break down when applied to the
data-scarce conditions that are common for most of the world's languages. Even
recent advances in pre-training language models that dramatically reduce the
sample complexity for downstream tasks (Peters et al., 2018; Howard and Ruder,
2018; Devlin et al., 2019; Clark et al., 2020) require massive amounts of
clean, unlabelled data, which is not available for most of the world's
languages (Artetxe et al., 2020). Doing well with few data is thus an ideal
setting to test the limitations of current models—and evaluation on
low-resource languages constitutes arguably its most impactful real-world
application.

And this is interesting to read in the context of the recent manic hype about
GPT-3, itself described in a paper titled "Language models are few-shot
learners", hilariously attempting to sweep under the carpet the amount of data
and compute required to get to the point where a language model can do "few"
shot learning.

In general, the excitement about the successes that have come from training
large, deep neural nework models with very large datasets has only served to
avoid posing the obvious question about such data-hungry approaches: what do
we do when there isn't a lot of data? Human language with all its minutely
fragmented diversity, turns out to be just that kind of domain.
There's a huge delay, someone doesn't contract corona and just die. Especially not in a country with good medical care. It's hard to say for sure, if you compare 2019 there were 10.000 elderly who died in elderly homes. This year it was 11.000. I'm not sure how the data was prior to that, but regardless a couple of thousand cases is a lot when the total is 5800.

China has an extensive track record of influence operations and election meddling in other countries and has used social media trolls to target political protests in Hong Kong. Last August, Twitter disclosed a significant Chinese “state-backed information operation” aimed at the protests, dismantling a network of 200,000 accounts that aimed to sow political discord. Facebook also detected similar activity and took action.

China also showed its hand during Taiwan’s 2018 election, employing its “50-cent army” of online trolls to sow propaganda and weaken the ruling party. Having tasted success in Taiwan, China conducted another disinformation campaign in the run-up to this month’s presidential election, trying unsuccessfully to undermine Taiwan’s incumbent president, Tsai Ing-wen, who China abhors. China also reportedly hacked into Australia’s parliament and political parties just three months before elections there last year.

While there are no known cases yet of TikTok spreading propaganda to meddle in foreign elections, the national security risks are inherent. As long as the app is controlled by a Chinese company, its data and capabilities will always be within reach of China’s government.

After all, TikTok and ByteDance would only be complying with Chinese law. China’s 2017 National Intelligence Law requires that “Any organization or citizen shall support, assist and cooperate with the state intelligence work in accordance with the law.” Unlike American companies who receive requests from the U.S. government, ByteDance simply has no recourse when faced with orders from China’s authoritarian government.
Facebook were accused of exactly this in one line of questioning to Zuckerberg during last week's congressional hearing. Though I'm not sure if the implication was that they had done something illegal, or that they had done something which ought to be illegal.

Zuckerberg first said he wasn't aware of the situation being referred to (an old free VPN app that FB allegedly acquired to use for data harvesting); and then later asked to correct his testimony saying something along the lines of that he does remember, but the name of the app used (in the question) wasn't familiar to him so he had needed his memory jogged (presumably by an off-camera lawyer while he was muted).

I wondered whether it was intentional - claim ignorance to avoid the hard questions then fix the record later to avoid perjury while also avoiding follow up questions...

Edit: since parent wrote "data from millions of businesses" I should clarify that I don't have knowledge of what data FB are accused of harvesting, I think the idea was that it was data from consumers giving them a competitive advantage in considering what companies to acquire.
yes, consciousness is a spectrum, as we already see it during normal human development/lifecycle.

and sure, in that sense maybe even a rock is conscious to some degree, at least compared to hard vacuum.

but conflating the importance of the CNS with the lack of a hard cut-off is a folly.

similarly, just because the concert pianist can't play well after a hand injury doesn't make the hand more important than the brain. because similarly, the pianist can't play well after many types of head/brain injury. naturally, because the pianist learned to play through the hands, fine-tuned and memorized what to do with the hands to get what the brain wants to hear. hence the importance of practice.

amoebas behavior and adaptability is very limited, because its comparatively very simple. an so we might be fairly certain it lacks the hardware/wetware to run what we call consciousness. and it might turn out that a big fancy brain like ours is not needed for consciousness, but likely there's still some cut off, meaning at least a few neurons (or similar networks and [predictive?] feedback loops) are likely needed.
IANAL but:

If you didn't know him and he didn't know you (let's say he got drunk and let it slip when you were driving him in your cab), that's OK for you, not for him.

If you were his wife or his partner in another business or his golf buddy or his therapist, that's generally not OK for you. It also would be illegal for him (I think) since he explicitly told you to trade on the information, but if he just said "things are really busy at work, we're getting a big government grant tomorrow" and there was some expectation you could keep a secret, he might be safe.
Browsers do check, but Firexfox for ex. still has a bug. He does not check the word, if you leave the word with moving the cursor away (not a space, dot or something like that on the end).

If more dotcoms has diversity of ideas, I suspect one of the outcomes is that they'd have employees saying that what the dotcom is doing -- secretly spying on people, and perhaps also directly manipulating them against their interests -- is, if not currently technically illegal, unconscionable.

I think it's interesting to consider that current dotcom interviewing processes arguably select for homogeneous conformism, and willingness to train for, and submit to, hazing rituals. Get some diversity of ideas in there, and, pretty soon, someone might say, "Hey, wait a minute, guys, do we even hear what we're talking about doing to people? How are we not the baddies?"
I think both math and (analytic) philosophy can help. When I say math, there's two different things I have in mind. One is just solving problems. Get any old text book at your level and start doing homework problems. Same works for physics. The other thing I have in mind is theorem proving. Look at Paul Halmos' book on Naive Set Theory for example or pick something more at your level.

As for philosophy, trying to pin down subtle distinctions and following the extremely abstract arguments could help. You could start there with text books, or reading in the history of philosophy like Aristotle, Plato, Descartes or maybe by looking up concepts and problems you're already familiar with in SEP.

Good luck and have fun.

A panic is superior to a segfault, because panics can (and should — if they don’t, then yes, that’s lazy) include a programmer-specified error message. A segfault just says “oops” (and a hopefully a stack trace in both cases).

I mean, yes, if a program can recover, it should, but in the case of “error and quit”, panic is an improvement over segfault.
The barrel: no, you won't lose your self-awareness because you have a memory and a whole history of your self-aware moments before the barrel. However, staying in the barrel for long enough (say 30 years?) might affect your consciousness though I wouldn't recommend experimenting with it :)

The self-driving cars are interesting in this regard, but in terms of complexity of their model of the world they are still way behind that of the most primitive insects even, I think. This is due to their limited capability of discovering the world and learning about it. A car that can also sense surfaces and hear things might have a chance to build a more complex model. Add the ability to park and connect to a charging socket by itself and you get a very, very basic organism, possibly a bit self-aware, too.

But just because a self-driving car has a model of a macro-world (roads, buildings, other cars) doesn't make it any more self-aware than bacteria.
I bought a $300 magnetic resistance bike, cadence monitor ($20), and a heart rate monitor ($40). The Peloton subscription is $12/mo for the app which I use on my phone. The only thing I'm missing is 'resistance' and 'output', but for roughly $1600 in savings I'm fine with it.

The classes are fun and they also include other things like strength, yoga, running, etc. There is no way to get classes around me for $12/mo or even $12/session.

You can't have it both ways. It either comes fast and cheap or it takes much longer, it's safer and much more expensive.

Obviously here some countries will choose the former at least for the early coronavirus vaccines. This could create a useful middle-ground where the most vulnerable groups are vaccinated early and the rest of the population waits for post-release data.

sure, probably there are some small degree of correlation (and maybe even some kind of causal influence) between being a hard to work with hard worker (eg being a stubborn visionary who can kind of execute their vision), but that's probably due to how the world is currently set up, those are not universal rules of success. they worked in those scenarios, but might be completely maladaptive in others.

The point that culture is useful in thinking through possibilities stands. Half the world's population lives in the Valeriepieris circle (1), and half of that is is water. Without saying Asian, what if I argued that population density seems to incentivize hard work, and one would tend to suspect that folks who originate from high density populations are, on average, more likely to develop a culture that rewards hard work? I could then pile on with the cultural-difference-within-a-culture that cities exhibit. Would that be acceptable?

Applying "racism" as a label to the point I was trying to make is using a label to suppress an idea (2). Can you accept that I didn't have the idea fully formed and needed to argue it out a bit to get this better idea statement worked out?

The SIM card is really the original secure enclave, and even has protected storage of contacts and messages, and early mobile payment solutions in Asia and Europe used the SIM card to securely store payment secrets.

You probably don’t need an ultrasound sensor or anything fancy for detecting water levels. Get a couple of strips of conductive metal which isn’t going to rust, then stick them down either side of the water tank, and finally hook the top of those strips into an ESP8266 or similar. When water level is above the required point the water will complete the circuit, and when it drops below the circuit will be broken.
That may be true in your corner of the music industry.

In the corners I'm familiar with (metal, rock, a bit of punk, various niche crossovers), the album is still king. Most artists will drop an album every couple of years and maybe an EP or two in between. Some of the most beloved and admired artists have released maybe 3 or 4 albums over a multi-decade career. They put together concept albums that work as a whole. Some will put out 40+ minute albums as a single track, because it's meant to be listened to in full, and needs you to take the time to do so.

There has been a slow change more towards EPs, especially for the more underground and independent bands. There's no reason to make a full album if you have 3-4 tracks that stand up on their own as a cohesive whole. In the old days, label's would often force artists to pad out those with filler tracks, just to produce a "full album".

These artists make their money through merch sales and touring, and it works because of a dedicated fanbase.

Popular music may be singles-driven and I would say that it has always been so. Thankfully there is a lot more out there than popular music.

For all I care, every single one of the big labels and streaming services could disappear tomorrow.

I was near native level 5 years ago. I'd additionally watched all the TV shows, the kids shows, read the newspapers and important books, the assigned school poetry. I even memorized the periodic table and read a translation of Feynmans lectures. People honestly thought I was born in Japan.

Five years later, I would struggle to have a conversation about anything consequential. I started learning when I was 19, so I guess too old to have it stick.

> The issue here is, as stated in the article, facebook was ordered to block worldwide access to facebook accounts based on brazilian law.

It really isn't. ISPs are also required to cut access to illegal content. Facebook is a service provider that willingly provides access to illegal content, thus it is required to take it down.

That's the whole point of the ruling.
Resemble, maybe, but here is an example of humans using a protest as cover for an attack.

It brings to mind the question of how this protest originated. Since those at the front with the banners were likely organizers of the protest, and it is clear they had other intentions for the protest, it seems like they were counting on enacting the swarming behavior.

This is one of those things where people say "oh I can't remember names" and what they mean is "I don't put any effort in remembering names".

I know, because I've been the same. Now I repeat names in my mind again and again. The next time I see the person, but don't speak to him or her, I repeat the name in my mind. An couple of minutes after being introduces to a new person, I repeat the name. An hour later, I repeat the name. A day later, I repeat the name. I'll even write some names down inside a notebook.

And guess what, now I'm excellent at remembering names and are one of these people who have seen you once and then approach you with "hey djhaskin, how are you?"

The diagram arrows of »Only valid references«, »No dangling pointers«, and »No data races« only point to the Heap Memory but should also point to the Stack Memory. One reason is that a function can borrow a stack pointers to other functions it calls at which point for the other functions there is no difference whether they are stack or heap pointers. Valid references are relevant the same way. Other reasons are that the borrow checker prevents data races for data on the stack, and it also disallows to pass a stack pointer as return value which would be a dangling pointer.
