Where does Google sell personal information?

That would literally be selling the crown jewels for some extra pocket money, what makes you think this is the case?
That was a great video. I wonder why the frequency got changed when the original reason for the choice was the power network frequency. Wouldn't that cause all kinds of interference problems?
>those who fail will whine on surveys about how AI is a scam and overhyped and an AI winter will hit Real Soon Now Just You Wait

isn't this very similar to the logic you used a paragraph above though when you spun it as "all great things have birth problems, just wait?". The born-again AI company rhetorically sounds more like conversation to a Christian cult than a business strategy.

This issue of huge promises of the digital revolution followed by very meagre productivity gains actually has played out not just in 'AI' but a lot of sectors over the last three decades at this point.

Even for self-proclaimed AI companies like Google, how much of Google's financial bottom line is this new-agey wave of AI, and how much of it is pagerank, a ton of backend engineering and selling ads?
There's OpenSnitch [1].

Seems like a sane way to polarize people and build the perception that BLM is a partisan political movement more than a social one.
I have a very simple hiring process. I describe the product, the work, the gaps. I ask them what their interests are. We find where the interests align with our gaps. If there is no alignment, we simply don't move forward. I tell them the compensation. They accept or reject.

Takes about 45 minutes. Pretty simple, the goal is to make sure that they want to do the work that we need done, and that they feel prepared to do so.

So far so good.
First off, not advocating a position just providing background.

The interpretation of GDPR by certain companies is that when someone requests "data deletion", they are to delete the association of the data points to "known identifiers" and are not required to delete the data itself. As the user has decided to disconnect their association, the data remains in the hands of the organization for analysis, look-a-like modeling, etc etc.

Scenario 1 - Insta didn't fully delete the associations according to policy and thus one of their processes is still linking the contacts.
Scenario 2 - Even with disconnected data associations, the ability of Insta to re-identify you was too easy and thus the contacts are showing up.

Either scenario shouldn't be viable under GDPR. If you're in the US, you're SOL (CCPA isn't as robust as GDPR and focuses more on 'data sale' and less on data privacy & protection).
This is one of the key purposes of the Apple Store. The Genius Bar would help you test on a clean account or do a full wipe — although, Little Snitch is well-known enough that I'd expect an Apple Store employee to recognize it pretty quickly.

I suppose it's theoretically possible they're trying to drive down support costs. But, geez, that would make me much more scared about the direction Apple is taking than anything else.

Really though, Little Snitch is quite explicit about what it does. It's also $40, and it's marketed to a pretty technical audience.

Easier for that company, but harder for the companies they beat out.
Then all he is really saying is that two airplanes cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Everyone knows this. Infants know this. It's simple physics.

When people talk about monopoly, they mean the absence of competition. They're talking about one firm having the control over the distribution of some kind of commodity, for instance, Standard Oil. But as you say, airlines have plenty of competition.

There is no evidence that Biden would go after big tech at all. It's not part of his platform. They are benefitting bigly from donations and favorable coverage from FAANG. Biden himself is prone to sell out to foreign companies as evidenced by his son's dealings in China, Ukraine, and Russia. You can't expect someone that corrupt to go after monopoly corruption.
Think "Portable datacenter" is a bit of a understatement. Thought this was going to be small, like 12U or something smaller. Dell had the VRTX line which was pretty cool though it's very proprietary in that sense.

Hi, everyone!

I have been working on Liaison for a year and a half with an obsession — simplifying full-stack development as much as possible.

Typically, a full-stack application is composed of a frontend and a backend running in two different environments that are connected through a web API (REST, GraphQL, etc.)

Separating the frontend and the backend is a good thing, but the problem is that building a web API usually leads to a lot of code scattering, duplication of knowledge, boilerplate, and accidental complexity.

Liaison removes the need of building a web API and reunites the frontend and the backend in a way that you can experience them as a single entity.

On the frontend side, Liaison gives you routing capabilities and object observability so that in most cases you don't need to add an external router or a state manager.

Last but not least, Liaison offers a simple but powerful ORM to make data storage as easy as possible.

Please check out the website, have a look at the documentation, and tell me what you think.
Why would high numbers of infections would be preferrable? Reaching herd immunity by natural spread while not overloading the health system is an illusion as it would take several years. So we are waiting for a vaccine either way. The fewer infections, the better.

One can't really un-release one's contacts to one of these data gobbling companies. Even then, I appreciate that we are raising this issue.

It should be clear to anyone here that the moment to act on this is before your contacts get copied, not trying to get them un-copied later. Think of it as a betrayal of your contacts, that you sell them out (then ponder the likelihood that none of yours have done the same, it's probably infinitesimal.)
Our family tried S-VHS players and VCRs back in the day, but ultimate found them to fall short of top-of-the-line VHS VCRs.

S-VHS decks weren't necessarily any better than VHS ones, and the two formats are incompatible.

Mitsubishi, Panasonic, and Sony made the best VHS VCRs, IIRC. The best ones for capture maybe different, but this is what I recall for analog NTSC playback. S-Video connectors, if you can get them may help, but not always.

If I were going green-field the design of a VHS/S-VHS VCR from scratch today, I use some sort of solid-state helical-scan-equivalent head that can over-capture tape domains, pre-process data to align scan lines per PAL or NTSC, and output unencrypted HDMI.
The born-again AI company rhetorically sounds more like conversation to a Christian cult than a business strategy.

Why a Christian cult? How is AI hype more related to Christianity than any other cult?
How were you able to dig into the appliaction? Is it possible to get Windows phone excecutables and decompile them using ilspy etc.?
It’s a hype bubble due to the delta between what’s being promised, a revolution of basically every aspect of business, and what’s delivered, massive improvements in very specific domains where a large data set is available and easily classified.

It’s unquestionable that there are certainly areas that ML is delivering in spades, but it’s nowhere near as ubiquitous as the hype implies.
Bottom line is that Apple made software like Little Snitch switch away from kexts and then built in behavior that was unexpected, which would not have been possible for them to do while Little Snitch was based on kexts.

Whether this is malicious, not malicious, secure, insecure etc. is irrelevant to whether this is an untrustworthy action. It’s not what one would reasonably expect and is therefore a betrayal of users’ trust.

If Apple switched gatekeeper on MacOS to completely remove the option and the workarounds to run unsigned apps, it would certainly be more secure. It would also be a huge betrayal of users’ trust in Apple and the MacOS platform.
It says "some" lawyers expressed concern, according to interviews with 15 of them. Nothing about that sentence alleges that all 15 they spoke with expressed concern. Some could be 2 or 3 and all 15 were aware of the concern.
My take is that the western world pursued the lockdown purely out of the will of its people, rather than that of its governments.

There's a great post (which I'll look for) that highlights that, no matter which US state you were in, you entered lockdown roughly within the same 2 week period as everyone else, regardless of what measures the state enacted. People in Florida, where the government was very slow, locked down roughly the same time as the people in New York, where the government was very quick.

Under this lens, you can look at the government's response to COVID 19 as not a response to the pandemic, but a response to people's response to the pandemic.
The new module system is already incompatible with pre-2018 edition projects, so I don't know why this argument explains why the current module system doesn't bite the bullet and use the file system hierarchy.
I’ve found the same in our use of it. It’s really hard to audit the code to understand what’s going on and I find myself clicking around trying to get some sense of how things fit together. The interface itself is pretty slow, which I find frustrating.

We’ve also had it explode on us a couple of times in production (on prem) and even reprovisioning it from scratch was a real struggle.

Things may have improved now (I try not to touch it these days) and I wish the team all the best with it. No doubt there are people out there for whom it will work well. But for me personally, I’ll be moving the things we’ve built using it into something else when time permits.
Since exactly zero of the top ten battles of the war were fought on the western front, it is hard to see GCHQ as so useful as is often claimed.

Yes, Stalin was also given access to some decrypts. Yes, Stalin murdered or imprisoned ~15 million Soviet "citizens" (a majority citizens of invaded neighbors, but plenty of Russians, too, including his own senior officer corps) before the war. Yes, Russia provided a huge share of the resources to build up Germany's armory before the war. Yes, Russia invited Germany to split Poland with it. Yes, in the final two years the Soviets depended on the US for food, fuel, steel, and trucks. Yes, Stalin had been poised to invade Germany when he was surprised and lost the bulk of his own armory at the outset. Yes, a majority of the Soviet troops killed were not Russian. Yes, the naval war was mostly conducted by the US and British Fleets. Yes, the US was busy in the Pacific theater.

Still, the war was mainly a battle to the death between two totalitarian regimes, with the US and Britain harrying at the edges. The Allied bombing, while it killed many, many civilians, utterly failed to stop massive growth of production of tanks and aircraft, right up to the end; that declined only in the final half-year as original German territory was overrun. (Production of pilots failed to keep pace, limiting the aircrafts' value.) It took only a small fraction of German forces to keep the US and Britain fully occupied in Africa, then Italy, and even after D-day. At the end, Stalin had to park and wait months for the Allies to catch up, and spent the time chasing Nazis out of the south.

"No Simple Victory", by Norman Davies using material exposed after the Soviet collapse, is an eye-opening resource.

And which Publishers will receive their share of the scraps.
Maybe, but one big difference I notice between the two is that a search for <brand> on Google often has the top result as an ad for that brand, whereas on DDG it will be the same result but not an ad. It seems that brands don't have to “defend their turf” on DDG by buying ads on their own name as they do for Google.

Hmm, looks like it would serve a very similar role as Caddy does for me right now (though my Caddy SSO w/ JWT is something I'd have to recreate). I wish this had existed a few years ago and I'll absolutely be bookmarking this for future projects. Very cool!
I don't think the claim is "every construct has a valuable hidden purpose". It's "if you can't explain all the important purposes of a construct, you aren't ready to take it down."

It’s like all new tech, if you fall into the survivorship bias trap and only look at the ones that have survived.

Personally I think this will be another “AI winter”, where we will gain some improvements in narrow domains but fall far short of what was promised, leading to disillusionment and a reduction in research budgets.

Because hiring has costs, this requires substantial risk tolerance, and is more suitable to a bigger corporation that can bear them. It will also give you a reputation — though some companies seem to manage quite well even with an iffy reputation in this area (e.g. Netflix). You need a certain amount of prestige to pull that off, I think.

A more secure (and much simpler to maintain) version would be just running nginx from your repos without all these extra things. nginx is secure by default. The insecurity comes when you pile on all the dynamic and container stuff.
You missed the c++filt at the end:

If 85%+ of the people are getting infected with mild or no symptoms, and those most susceptible to death are quarantined (those over 60 years old), then you have a best case scenario where the death rate is around 0.5%. What we need right now is a test to determine who that sub-10% are below the age of 60 that will get severe symptoms or worse, and isolate them as well.

We have no idea how successful a vaccine will be. If it's 50% successful, that means that people will be getting Covid-19 regardless, so it seems we might as well front load the infections now.

In addition, recently they found a new variant of SARS-CoV-2 with a mutation in the spike protein. If the spike protein mutates enough such that the vaccine no longer works, then we really have no choice but to reach herd immunity.
Or it's because they're underfunded and have tons of people to get through. You had an hour to ensure you had the right form and filled it out properly. If they get lax about things like that, people will be less careful and it will just waste more of everyone's time.
5 years ago I found LS was unable detect any traffic out of a VMWare virtual machine running on the same Mac. Sure the VM is running through some installed virtual network adapter, but if that's all it takes an attacker can set up one of her own. Cool Hollywood interface but I gave up on LS as a serious security tool right there.

Doesn't the loss function landscape depend a lot on what you're trying to get the neural network to learn (what problem you're trying to solve)?
I find the article style unreadable. Could someone please say whether the author explains why deep learning shouldn't work?

There is a bit at the start about how people in statistical learning throw their hands up at deep learning etc, but none of that makes sense to me. Neural nets are an idea as old as AI - even older, in fact. The need for deeper networks was well understood by the 1980's. There are well known results about feedforward neural nets with arbitrary hideen units being universal function approximators. Why shouldn't deep learning work?
Keynote is also a well designed product not made by google. It is available on the web and supports real time collaboration.

But it seems like no one cares about web/collaboration in iWork apps and apple isn‘t really pushing it as a gsuite competitor. The sharing model is maybe not exactly work friendly.

So since gsuite is absolutely dominating iWork already, I think they have a shot by just making it more well designed than Slides.

>The losers are the people who made Python what it is today, for free.

Why are they "losers"? Did they sign any contract that something is owned to them? They did it for fun/personal reasons/ideology, and what they created is used by millions.

If they wanted to get paid for doing it, they could very well have had as well - several core python contributors have worked in large companies doing Python (including core Python) work, most famous of all Guido.
Honestly, America is pro-corporate before anything else - neither party is actually a good advocate for labour or consumer protection, you only see these things on the fringes of the parties.
Yep, they just dropped out of consideration as a firewall vendor for me in the near future. The money for this superfluous legal stuff is coming from somewhere, probably from the overinflated margins. Also no one wants to be sued by a company whose products you paid good money for.
What a strange narrative to spin, that "X was an attempt to prevent Y" when there's no such clear relationship. You're just making up these connections.

tl;dr: CPU overclock performs the same (as expected) as a Pi 4 model B, and was stable in all my testing up to 2.0 GHz.

The board won't normally overheat/throttle if you keep it at the stock 1.5 GHz clock, but when overclocked, you do need better cooling, whether a very large passive heatsink or any kind of fan to move the air over the SoC better (heatsink not required but many people enjoy sticking one on).

The result that surprised me was the NVMe drive I was testing performed 15% faster (overall) when I overclocked the CPU. I wasn't expecting that much of a difference in NVMe performance, and looking around elsewhere I couldn't find a similar kind of result—maybe other CPUs/busses are just so fast at their base frequencies that it isn't an issue at all.

I mean, it's not like the Pi CM4 can put through 1500 MB/sec on its PCIe 1x lane.
In almost every developed country in the world except the United States, it would be illegal to sell a defective item then refuse to refund or replace it, whether it's $1 or $10,000. Consumer protection regimes are a real thing that exist, although maybe not in your jurisdiction.

So yes, you can legislate that. By making merchants bear the cost of defects and take a loss on replacing the product, you make it no longer a viable business model to constantly sell broken stuff. It's a proper alignment of incentives.

In a world where Google is being sued for antitrust in part because of a monopoly they built by giving stuff away for free, perhaps making it harder to have a "low margins, but we aren't accountable for anything" business is not a bad thing.

You're also building a strawman - that Google would need to spend a lot per user on customer service to start actually providing customer service instead of refusing to do so for most of its products.

It would need to spend a lot in absolute dollars, sure, but the vast majority of users would have precisely zero support interactions. No one is saying that Google should have an army of 500,000 support reps. Just that it should actually be possible to contact Google without knowing someone who works there.
Contrary to what British newspapers might like you to believe, NASA is always capitalized.
Don't be stupid. I'm listening to you. I'm actually responding to you. You say theory is different from the real world so I present you with a real world solution and examples of how it works with embedded specifically. Your job should you choose to continue is to use other real world examples to counter my arguments. That's all, if you convince me it's done, If i convince you it's also done. Until then leaving the discussion before it's resolved is pointless.

Don't back out, I'm not fighting for the last word. I'm having a discussion with you in hopes you can convince me. But you haven't really said anything substantial other than things along the lines of "Trust me I have lots of experience, your stuff is just theory."

If you start introducing the real arguments then this discussion can actually go somewhere.
This is a complete novice, ill informed, question. So forgive it in advanced, but why have an AMD specific backend at all? Couldn't you just use AMD's HIP/HIP-IFY tool on the CUDA backend and get an AMD friendly version out?

https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP

I realize these sort of tools aren't magic and whatever it spites out will need work, but it seems like a really good thin starting place for AMD support with a lower overhead for growth.

After the original CUDA bits can ""cross-compile"", the workflow is greatly reduced, right?

Workflow:

- update CUDA code

- push through the HIPIFY tool

- Fix what is broken (if you can fix it on the CUDA side)

After enough iterations, the CUDA code will grow friendly to HIPification...
