I used GPT-2 to create a health website. One sentence was enough to get a full page of authoritatively sounding lists of symptoms and treatments. Very diverse, unlike all other sites, because the articles it generated only looked and sounded like a health encyclopedia. Of course it is going to spit back decent diagnosis, when it is in the training data, but what do you trust? An expert system that logically and interpretable explains its predictions, linking the original source. Or a language model that uses a temperature to stay on track, and randomizes its output on every new run?

Generating data with a possible high impact on lives sounds like a recipe for disaster and frankly, irresponsible. And Google would have to really solve it, to detect false or questionable information, when its not possible to rely on spam signals (like when a legit site is transferred to a malicious spammer).

Aside, I bet LeCun would be more favorable of GPT-3 had it been a deep CNN and they had adopted his self-supervised learning paradigm :).
What stood out for me was the kernel version of netgear equipment used: 2.6.36.4

That is a kernel nearly 10 years old. Of course, the router itself was released 7 years ago... and of course vendor stopped updating fimware as soon as they could... and of course it's still in production and for sale... and of course it costs $150+.

It's a good thing dd-wrt and similar exist.

> I am not seeing an obvious scenario that makes it switch. I thought maybe it was when the ball "joined" with a player but it does it when its in motion too. That is just completely broken.

I can see a pattern. It helps if you think strictly in terms of what visual feature a ball and a bald head have in common: a crescent of glare against the sun.

* The ball is obscured by legs, shadow, or a player's body (this appears to be majority of the occurrences to me) - this one seems to trigger even if it's only out of view for a fraction of a second

* The high kick at 2:07 is similar to the above, except it's the glare from the sun instead of shadow that obscures the ball (ambient brightness matches the crescent instead of the umbra on the ball)

* Most of the rest I can't even find the ball myself, I think it might be too small in the far end of the field to register clearly

Obviously, this is a complicated topic but I was wondering about how well are the projects like Postgres protected when people make contributions to them? They don't require any CLA signing etc, and their only defense seems to be "you should have read our policy", which isn't obvious to a casual contributor, or easy to discover (it's mentioned in a policy regarding archival of emails [1]).

> Additionally, source code submissions to mailing lists such as pgsql-hackers are considered submissions to the PostgreSQL project, falling under the project's PostgreSQL licence. Please make sure you have permission to share information with these lists before sending your message.

Not requiring CLA signing greatly lowers the barrier to contributing. As a conscientious employee I had to get my company's lawyers' permission when one project asked me to sign their CLA-like document. I can only imagine how hard it can get for a prolific contributor, if they also happen to start care about legal issues.

Wow, the plugin feels way faster than Octotree.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thought of mine would be change the rules so you can specify a towing service for you car. Like say you have AAA on file. To tow your car cops _must_ call AAA and have them handle it. Advantage AAA will have the tow guy drop it off on some random street. Or maybe in front of your house.

Because they mean very different things. E.g. "no-one owns this land" is very different from "I don't know who owns this land". "You don't need to do anything" is very different from "I don't know what you need to do". "No-one's in that room" is very different from "I don't know who's in that room". Of course the practical difference depends on context, but so does the practical difference between 2 and 3.
Why is Europe's status something to care about in the U.S.? China is basically operating on all cylinders right now. It's insane how people in the U.S. don't get the damage that's being done on literally all fronts right now.

The past year has had irreparable damage to the U.S. It's hard to know where to even start, from slow production due to job loss and just everything going slower, poor health due to active cases and the decades of health care reverberations done from permanent damage and repeat infections, poor education due to an already broken primary and secondary school system basically being put on pause for a year, etc. The U.S. is literally fighting whether to re-elect a person who likely has clinical personality disorders and is probably well below even average intelligence, at the very best.

Melbourne resident here.

We're feeling pretty relieved to be getting these results and excited to be tentatively emerging from nearly four months of fairly strict lockdown.

Much is being made of the fact that back in August when Melbourne was reporting over 700 new cases on some days, UK and France were reporting similar new case numbers, yet we are now getting zeroes and those countries have out-of-control spread.

At the same time, there's much debate and political ruckus about the merits of the lockdown - i.e., the economic and human costs, vs the benefits of suppressing a virus that many consider to be not very serious.

There's also the ongoing attack on our state government from political opponents and parts of the media, over the fact that the virus was suppressed here back in May, as it was in the rest of Australia, but then started spreading rapidly again in June, when poorly-trained security guards acquired the virus while working in quarantine hotels, then took it back to their families and communities, with the outbreak then tearing through aged care homes and leading to a total of 800+ fatalities.

What isn't being talked about here, but has been mentioned by another commenter in this thread, is weather. Melbourne is the only large/dense city in Australia that has quite cool winters, similar to the weather that prevailed in Northern Asia, Europe and the US in Feb-April, and that is returning to Western Europe now. As we now know, given the serious outbreaks that have happened in warmer regions, warm weather is not a strong enough factor to halt this virus altogether, but it does seem to have an influence, and it's striking to note the progression of this virus in Melbourne, relative to the weather.

This has something of a misleading argument in it in the form that PDF is the "basis" for document world. PDF is not the basis.

Lemme explain: for each format there is a basis and there is the most used format. For sound that's .WAV / .MP3; for pictures that's .BMP / .JPEG (or .PNG if you're a purist).

And for documents that's .RTF / .PDF. You see a PDF is not the absolute basis, it's just the most convenient trade between usability and fidelity. Nobody except snobs wants pure .WAV files for their preferred songs and everybody uses .MP3 instead. If you want the absolute purest form of a document, you use .RTF

My 2 cents.
Outside of learning a language are there many times that wrote memorization is useful?

I can't think how I would use this in a software development sense. Coding katas come close to this and a useful but I'm not sure flash cards would do the same.

Maybe it would be handy to memorize a libraries API but then if I use something enough that memorization would be useful I'll learn it by way of using it.

> ML/AI has no conception of

Time: False. Time can be included as an input. Previous system state can also be communicated forward in various ways (ex the LSTM architecture).

Conceptual context: I'll agree, since that seems like it would require general abstract reasoning ability (ie strong AI). Similarly, robust treatment in the general case of physical continuity and cause and effect both seem like special cases of conceptual context to me.

That being said, bear in mind that we already have examples of not so robust treatment for special cases of physical continuity as well as cause and effect. (Example: https://news.developer.nvidia.com/transforming-standard-vide...) Who knows how close (or far) we might be from a general solution?
In fact, neither of those is illegal.

You’d have to be fairly wealthy and incredibly generous to actually trigger conditions needed to pay taxes on gifts. Aside from being able to give $15K per person per year (or twice that for married couples) you also get a lifetime gift-giving exemption of nearly $12 million for any gift giving over the annual amounts.

You’re also allowed to sell your kid your car for $1. It’ll probably be counted as a gift of market value - $1. Your kid will probably be required to pay taxes on it as if he purchased it for market value. But it’s not illegal.

This is one of those 'what have the Romans done for us' comments. Intelligence + facts = smarts. Facts are to thinking like fuel is to an engine, without facts your thinking will be either useless or wrong. So regardless of how smart you are some degree of access to facts is a requirement and if you can do this without having to look things up all the time it will go faster and with access to more facts the quality of your output will go up.
>"I don't disagree, but I think you could say the same about native apps too"

Of course I could. I was just countering the original point that sounded that web apps are slick just because they're web apps. Making good GUI is hard (well I'd skip Hello world here).
Besides learning vocabulary, the one place I'm really getting great results with Anki is exam preparation.

Exams are often in a very well-defined scope where you can rote learn most of the definitions, and the few exercise variants that appear in preparation also can appear on the exam.

I don't think that this is the best way to learn many things, but exams are partially tangential to true learning and it works well enough in my experience.
I worked at a company doing football (and footballer) tracking for ecery premier league game for a couple of years. Every other week there was a case we hadnt covered (and fixed for the next week);
- white ball swapped for orange ball
- player swapped shirt, new number. (We tracked players by number on their back)
- player swapped shirt to a number someone else had
- player swapped shirt to no number
- player shirt covered entirely in mud
- player swaps shirt where number is white instead of black
- white ball left on sideline (2 balls)
- crowd releases 50 white balloons onto the pitch
- ref swapped shirt colour
- sideline advert has a filled in white O on it (moving around)

There were loads more, but that was off the top of my head. I dont think we ever mistake a head for a ball though! We worked out likely balls from movement (syncing cameras with bounces)
at least they are trying.
PDF has been bad news, as it embodies assumptions from an earlier age: how paper works.

I want to read flowable text that adapts to my screen and my size needs. I want to be able to reliably select and extract text. I don’t need something that apes an archaic IO system (printer+paper) with all its flaws and, when on scree, none of its advantages.
There was a post not too long ago (I can't remember it unfortunately) where someone argued that memorization (they used software development specifically as the example) could help in connecting concepts. You can be a developer who knows what to google. Or you could be one who knows lots by heart and connects everything they know. I'm a bit sceptical myself, since rote memorization seems like something that is easily forgotten after a few months..

Sure. But when I say "this is already illegal", I'm implicitly including the kid not paying the taxes after this happens.
You really have an agenda huh?

I basically settled on an Anki-like system for cramming for tests in college. But this was a situation where I largely didn't attend class, but knew what formulas I'd need to know to pass each exam. Like clockwork, about 48 hours before an exam I'd lock myself away and make a bunch of flashcards, then spend hours rote memorizing them. It worked, and it got me through the tests, but I'd didn't really learn much.
Having these curated here is awesome. Found myself sending a few links to our slack thread and then just finally sent the link to your website. Thanks for sharing

They don’t have to pay income taxes on it in the US; it’s a gift. They may have to pay excise or property tax on it at the fair market value, but that’s about registering the car for road use, not about gifted property being taxable to the recipient as you claimed.
This is not about training data

I think the ML specialists often forget there's a gap between pattern matching and solving a problem

The problem here is: locating a ball and moving the camera

If you just try to find a ball on static image by static image you're going to have a bad time. Even worse if you try to find only the ball but without the play contexts (kicking, flying, being held, etc)

Balls "teleport" but not always

Yes, a ball can be on top of a player, but not all the time

So, no, if you didn't see the ball go there, it didn't suddenly appear in the middle of the field (but then again, with some exceptions).
... machine learning?

Technically AI is correct, since AI doesn't necessarily refer to human level AGI. Unfortunately it's highly misleading because that distinction seems to be lost on the average person.

Machine learning doesn't seem to carry the same science fiction implications for whatever reason.
> I believe is the point the submitter is trying to make

Yes. I went with the headline Australian newspapers are using, which in hindsight lacks sufficient context for HN.

What I find remarkable is how many things Australia stuffed up, but was able to recover from by brute force and social cohesion. Procrastinating over quarantine for international travellers, obsessing about ventilators while ignoring prevention, identifying that aged care was a massive vulnerability but doing nothing to mitigate it, gross recklessness in setting up hotel quarantine, failing to anticipate that although the virus went away it was bound to come back: it's a long list.
I use pdf's for data sheets. Last thing I want is flowable text. Also 25 years on in selecting and extracting text from html is hot garbage.
I say this with all the kindness that I have... this article/guy is really sad.

First of all, if you think you've found the world's ultimate fighting technique, don't try to show it to random people for approval. Use it. Anki yourself in secret until you're a super-saiyan, and then unleash your strength on the quivering masses. Hear the lamentation of their women, until they are begging you for mercy and also to teach them about spaced repetition.

That brings us to the second problem... spaced repetition doesn't work. Or rather, it does work, but it does the wrong thing. If you want to be a walking encyclopedia, maybe SR is a good approach. But if you want to understand the world, be able to do things, be funny and gregarious, know the answer but also know when to play dumb... SR can't help you. Even if you want to learn a language, if you can't learn it by using it, do you even need it?

I was excited about SuperMemo, Anki, etc. too at one point. Eventually I decided that they just aren't that good. Now here's the thing: if you really think SR is the best thing ever, don't argue with people - prove us wrong.
I don’t think any of that is possible with the JavaScript APIs exposed (if any) by common PDF readers. I’ve tried to do useful things with JavaScript in a PDF and failed utterly. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32597283/can-javascript-...
Note that a married couple can give their married children 4x the individual exemption annually. (A gives C and D $15K each. B gives C and D $15K each.)

Nothing about this requires C and D to be married, of course, other than A and B’s willingness may be higher to give to a spouse than a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Only Belgium of those seems to rank worse than USA for cases/pop. Missing from your list seems to be Israel and Czech Republic (unless your limit for non-tiny country is 11 million).

And most of these countries are testing at lower rates than France.

One of those links are not like the others. I was not prepared for the first story to be about self-immolating taxi drivers.
Tracking is one possible problem. The other is, that JavaScript can modify the document itself, so a part of a contract for example might print out differently depending on conditions.

That's why PDF/A for archiving was created which disallows various components, cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF%2FA
Did you use it for any of these and what was your experience?
Yes. You just reinvented exceptions.

I try to construct scenarios using both sides. Usually, this changes the conversation to be about the desired outcome which one of us might have assumed incorrectly (or even just differently) when the problem arose.
I get what you are saying. If I were studying this would be great. But it's been a long time since I have done any formal study. Most of what I learn now days is by doing. I might read a book on a topic but never have an assignment or a test to follow up. I'm attempting to find out if others in my shoes have found a use for memorization like this. If so it might be something worth me trying.
I'm an orthopedic surgeon with over two decades of coding experience and the last six years I've been working on developing deep learning models for muskuloskeletal images. Despite being in a rather narrow field, only focusing on trauma radiographs, the complexity of the task is hard to overstate. We have piloted our software with our radiologists at the hospital, but the amount of features you need so that the clinicians actually feel that there is any benefit, are huge. At the moment we're training 480+ different labels and I still think we're not even half way for trauma radiographs.
I feel like understanding rather than pure knowledge is what allows you to connect concepts.
I am also not a lawyer, but I have heard conflicting advice from different lawyers about what qualifies as "independent" so if the stakes are high, tread carefully.
Yeah, with Rust lifetimes it's much easier to reason about, compared to eg Java.
Also, in something like Haskell it's not that your data does not change. It does change and people employ really complex idioms to facilitate that. It might be "easy to reason about", but it's definitely not easy to grasp. Lots of people find it much easier to just mutate something (hence the popularity of imperative languages).

Rust takes best of both worlds. You can both mutate, and you are sure that this is compile-time guaranteed, so you can't just try to mess with a value that this part of the code does not own.
I know the article is talking about "truly" native apps, but React Native is quite an interesting project. Microsoft has been heavily investing into React Native for Windows and macOS, so combined with RNWeb (which is still a work in progress, but quite usable), a developer can target iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and web with the same code base and have a native UI for each platform. It's pretty magical when it all works.
I used it to study for an ICC exam. I passed the test so it worked really well i'd say.

It seems a lot of these ideas are marketing tools. Like email distribution mailing lists.
