"That seems like its not only reasonable"

Is it though? There is bias in everything.

There is bias in Googles original search - it crawled content. That content will be biased.

Google search has been biased since the start. It has nothing to do with AI.

Biased is also contextual: what does it mean for all of us non-Americans to see tons of American content in everything - the 'American bias' is overwhelmingly the strongest bias, where are the concerns about that?

And how does bias imply a 'lack of ethics'?

The entire consideration is ridiculous:

1) AI is not special and odes not deserve it's own ethical oversight. Every social tech has issues and it all needs to be thought about.

2) Someone with no real training in the issue may very well merely be injecting their own politics into the situation, and possibly overstating issuses.

3) There's nothing objective about morality or ethnics, so it's really hard to even find such at thing as 'objective'.

What the company needs is a clean, comprehensive framework for the issue, and probably some independent oversight that can given them private assessments of where there are red flags.

Not individuals who want to make a name for themselves on the issue publicly, and who might be part of some kind of ideological movement.
This probably depends more on what the topics are, and how they're talked about.
>> 7 episode miniseries

That is still a holdover from television: predictable equally-time episodes. Why should each episode be of identical length? Why not free the production to tell each episode in a different time. An even more free form would be, for example, 16-hour non-episodic movie where the viewer is left to decide when to take breaks.
It sounds to me like Google has a policy that papers must be internally reviewed before they can be "published". She understood publish in the academic sense, while Google views sending the paper out for conference review as publishing. The paper ends up failing internal review, so per policy it must be promptly retracted. This is confusing to the academic who expects to get access to the raw review responses so that the paper can be fixed. After all in her mind it is not published yet, and updates can be submitted to the conference to fix the issues.

The underlying reason for the paper failing internal review looks to be that it basically condemns Google's whole approach to AI (big models) while failing to take into account some relevant research that may favor google's approach. (I have no way of guessing if it would have passed review if it did take into account those, but still condemned the approach).

The massive amount of miscommunication makes her feel like she was being oppressed, due to race and or gender. Hence her aggressive tone in her emails and ultimatum.

Looks like a fairly classic case of a major blowup due to poor communication.
Yuk. What use is a SaaS for archiving when it's just going to "sun set" in 6 months after the owners sell it to Google?
Sick and tired of constant war mongering. First it was Russia, then "war on terror", now China. Does the US always need an enemy to pick a fight with to feel " validated"? Everything China is being accused of is and has been done by the US as well. Does it make anyone feel better if one can accuse someone else of the same actions?

The best and the brightest are elevated to positions of leadership because we trust them to lead the way. I am grateful that she knows her worth, and risked her own happiness for the sake of others. She is paying a short-term price for it because Google is struggling with fundamental corporate identity issues (such as whether or not it can live up to its self-image). In the long run, she will be vindicated.

Where I come from, behavior like this is interpreted as - at worst - iconoclastic when exhibit by white, male leaders. I have found that it is rewarded more often than not when it happens in places I have worked at in the past.

Also, just read some of her Twitter mentions - the fanboy harassment is real.
I agree with this, but not every startup's business model has the luxury of operating under that calculus. Particularly in markets with network effects or other winner-take-all dynamics. You're either first or you're dead. And at least one of your competitors will be investing big on VC-powered hyper growth. Slow and sustainable growth may increase short-term survival chances, but guarantees that you lose in the long-term.

If Instagram or AirBnb didn't plan for rapid scalability, and focused on short-term sustainability instead, they'd almost certainly be footnotes. It doesn't mean that a startup pursuing an expensive hyper-growth scalability strategy is a good investment. But a startup building a social network or B2C marketplace will never conquer the network effects without that ingredient.
I'm not sure if this is necessarily a fail for a controlled market— there needed to be something in place to prevent it just being a giant land-grab followed by bankruptcies and consolidations everywhere as the bubble popped.

From my point of view it's less a failure in concept and more just a matter of tuning— which has been adjusted over time, though as expected, there has been some of that post-rush activity as various players have bought each other out (but probably a lot less than there would have been without the slow start).
Laptops are almost always going to weight CPU/Watt fairly strongly.

As a developer, I don't give a damn about CPU/Watt, I care only about maxCPU, for a given budget.

I don't know why any company would build a laptop that focused on maxCPU. Gaming laptops are perhaps the exception, but Apple has historically not really participated in this subset.

>for many devs, basic CPU core counts and high I/O speeds are the winner.

bingo!
> There is no science without reason; there is reason without science.

I heard this stated as “you can’t validate the scientific method using the scientific method.”
This is good. We have a problem of accountability in our media. Spewing nonsense for years should come with consequences even if it gets you clicks.
Wait, what's the danger of keeping your backup on an internet connected machine?
Yes. Agreed. Header files really kill productivity in C++ projects as they grow beyond 1-500.000 lines.

I admit, sometimes I work around or postpone a fix in a vital header file, because I know it will initiate a recompile and undesired wait.

I simply don't understand this isn't properly fixed after 30 or so years. It is so inefficient for developer time, cpu resources, and overall energy usage that it becomes ridiculous sometimes.

I remember moving from Turbo Pascal in the mid 90s over to C and C++ and wondering what the hell was going on...

I've had Yahoo Mail since 1995. A year or two ago I noticed all my emails before 2001 were no longer there. Such a great service! /s

I still use that e-mail for online shops, etc. (a bad idea, because I also use it for Facebook, so all the online services that uploaded their customer data onto Facebook has my details courtesy of Zuck). Nowadays Yahoo's web interface keep moaning that I should turn off my ad blocker, and as my little "Fuck you, Yahoo" I keep clicking "No"..

My parents obsessively kept every family letter, the good, the bad, the sad, even the embarrassing. It's kind of a treasure trove for me. I get to see their take on events I remember. The letters go back well over a century.
How quickly we forget... the 10-core i9 was being embarrassed by AMD's Zen 2 mobile processors this spring.

https://www.notebookcheck.net/10-core-Intel-Core-i9-10900F-d...

Looks like single core Zen 3 scores about 2100 on Geekbench 5. M1 scores about 1700.

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/singlecore
https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q...

I'm confused why we feel like AMD Zen 3 has to "catch up" when it it's 29% ahead.

Yes I get it, per watt, battery life. The M1 is awesome for those metrics. But AMD chips have more "absolute" power. So you pick the one that is better for your needs - very powerful portability, or simply ultimate total performance (or something in between).
Yes, you can set a scheduled download (I think for up to six months) within takeout and specify the downloads to go to Dropbox or a couple other storage providers.

As someone who does this every month, the downside is that there are often glitches in the export (which they usually catch) and you'll need to set up a new export to get them to try again. In the worst case, I've needed to re-export three times to get them to green flag it as a clean collection without any errors (which sucks when it's a couple days for them to prep it and then another while to actually download and store 300GB of data).

Ummm... ok. But my comment was not all RAM is equivalent.
Those tools are intended for professional use. Furthermore even if you know how to use them, they all require configuration to produce any useful information.

As the author describes, this was inspired by a need for non-technical users to look for signs of surveillance software on personal devices. I imagine this might also be useful even to people who know how to use the aforementioned tools.

If you start with a top down sales model and reach $20M, they’ll tell you you need a bottoms up model to reach $500M. The tough part is deciding which one to start with given your product, customers and access to good salespeople.

As you'll have noticed, Atmos isn't really an audio quality indicator (the way the Dolby Digital trademark was used). Atmos is really just a metadata stream for multidimensional audio panning so a single set of audio streams can be interpreted across many different surround setups.

Hypothetically you'll get a more accurate spatial response, but again as you noted, they tend to just do a surround background bed with a few Atmos objects for voices and explicit sources.

This looks great! Congrats on launching. We used to be in this space too. The most tricky part is performance, especially if you are backtesting against an algorithm instead of manual trading. Having to wait for the results on 30 years of trading data can get rather annoying at times. If you do implement support for algorithmic trading, it might be helpful to rewrite the core in WebAssembly.
Yeah, that 30-day window was ridiculous. I lost my hotmail in 2006 after exclusively using gmail for 6 weeks. I'd like to know the origins of the policy. Who decided that if someone goes a few weeks without checking their email that they're either dead or no longer interested in using the internet?

Bitcoin 100%, because of the optionality and network effects.

I don't believe you can separate the value of Bitcoin and it's usefulness because the more valuable Bitcoin is, the more useful it becomes.

The more people who hold Bitcoin, the more scarce it becomes and therefore the more valuable it becomes. In 20 years, Bitcoin could go to 0, or become a widely used currency and skyrocket in value.

Once the number of Bitcoin holders reaches equilibrium then the value would remain stable, but we are definitely not at that point yet.
I've used this for about a year, and it has been stable. Hosted on my home computer.

Assuming a typical audio encoding, each time around the loop the new sample value is added (arithmetic add) to the previous value, not bitwise OR. The mean value of a sample is zero, so you can do this forever. (Idealized. In practice you actively normalize to avoid overflow/clipping).

Addict someone to drugs. Face criminal charges if you want to call yourself an USA citizen. Simple as that. Otherwise, we talk about if it's okay to ex-parte kill the drug dealer who's OD'ing my kid.

Repealing prohibition didn't end crime at all. Gangs, first thing they do is buy the bar or a strip club.

I hate those people. They ruined my life. If they get to poison my family and make billions and flaunt it. I get to try to cook up something with CRISPR, and use them to reverse hemianopia from a stroke due to their poison campaign.

Only reason I write this is I heard that keeping secrets is bad for you. It's a form of reversing the development process and creating a separate self. Only reason my life is over and I can't pursue what I want is because I'm taking care of a blind former heavy drug user. I was one myself so I'm not blameless. Only reason he's a drug user was because his parents were in battles you wouldn't believe in a war my nation was dragged into by your horrible horrible world.

No amount of money or drugs will stop a drug user. The mania of drug use puts schizophrenia or bipolar to shame. True monsters who not only should be locked up, but are the root cause for why we have prisons and asylums in the first place.

America's common portrayal is made by people who want our blood, want to take a shot at the king of the hill. Won't work. America's true character is really one of precision. Sun up, sun down, no mistakes. Perfection. We get to do that because of self-evidence. Not only does it need to be popular or be good and fun, but it has to stand on it's own.

Legalize drugs, and what you're really doing is making drug dealers a protected class. Addict and OD each other with immunity. We should be raising the next generation with an accurate representation to the world, that it gets ugly and cut throat quick, and also raise something better because sooner than you think we'll need them to take care of us. Ten years, that's about all you get, then it's someone else's chance.
After reading the article and skimming the 300+ comments already on this thread I’m afraid ya’ll are missing the forrest for the trees here. This isn’t a drug issue although ethically this should have been done years ago!

THIS IS A GLOBAL WARMING ISSUE and a HUMAN RIGHTS issue!

300,000 hectares of forests destroyed a year is roughly 1100 square miles! Anybody care to do the calculations on the carbon sink on that!?

200,000 families! Not people, FAMILIES! These aren’t nuclear families either. There could be close to a million people (if they each have 3 kids on average) that would not be subject to cartels and forced to live in hiding.

Holy shit this would be a huge win!

It’s a strange reaction though. “I’m resigning.” “OK, that’s your prerogative, bye.” “Wait! I didn’t mean NOW! How can you fire me like this?!” Then make a big deal about being fired on social media. Seems to me that someone who genuinely was ready to resign would have just quietly walked away, even if they imagined it ending less abruptly. Can’t know for sure, obviously.
Nice decision to use a much longer basic loop (12 bars?) which avoids the "this is obviously a live looper" syndrome. Thanks for the link.
That's fair enough, I have occasionally read his blog over the years (mainly linked from other sites such as MacRumors). That's also how I saw how many scoops he's been given by them (because if they were actual leaks I'm sure he would have been cut off by now, knowing Apple's secrecy). But I don't remember him being this lyrical about Apple as he is here.

However I used to be an Apple fan and Mac used to be my daily driver (even though I've always been an "every OS at the same time" guy). But my enthusiasm has reduced a lot lately due to the higher lock-in, and 'iPadification' of the Mac. Especially due to stronger ties with Apple services: As an "every OS" guy this doesn't work for me obviously. Basically it is getting decidedly harder to use Apple stuff well if you don't want to do things exactly "the Apple way". The Mac didn't use to be like that. It was more like a general unixy OS that wasn't so opinionated.

So, as my opinion has changed it is possible his admiration for Apple is irking me more than before :) Sorry if I offended by calling him a shill. But he adopts Apple's flowery language filled with superlatives as if their products are some kind of magic inconceivable to their competitors. That rubs me the wrong way as I do consider the world outside Apple which is not bad at all.
That pet owners must deal with the headaches of owning a pet, and not unduly inconvenience others, seems like a perfectly reasonable stance to me.

In fact, some animals are not allowed to be kept as pets at all. I'm fine with extending that to all types of animals. Dogs are out there spreading covid right now but I can't go to the gym. That makes so much sense.

I don't understand the pet owners' sense of entitlement.

To be fair, if you have a 12.5cm slab of steel, you're probably doing something wrong. Or trying to build battleship armor.

Steel beams will have a thickness of ~1cm steel at most, and steel plates will usually be much thinner.
>A cross functional team then reviewed the paper as part of our regular process and the authors were informed that it didn’t meet our bar for publication and were given feedback about why. It ignored too much relevant research — for example, it talked about the environmental impact of large models, but disregarded subsequent research showing much greater efficiencies. Similarly, it raised concerns about bias in language models, but didn’t take into account recent research to mitigate these issues.

So I don't work in AI, but in every field I have worked in, and in the academic journals I used to work for, all of these are issues that would be addressed during the standard peer review process.

You ignored recent publications? Reviewers will complain. A good journal will have peer reviewers who know which citations are missing.

You left out citations that weaken your conclusion? Reviewers will complain. Et cetera.

I realize people object to Gebru's history on Twitter, but Google exec's defense of her dismissal sounds pretty weak to me.
Training pilots before a training program is approved is kinda like throwing money into a fire. They would still have to turn around and train them again with the approved training.

Also, being has little to do with the actual decisions on what and how to train pilots not employed by them, the airlines develop training programs that are approved by the FAA and operated with FAA oversight.

Things that communicate with the web are susceptible to malware and exploit. Offline storage of course can also suffer bit rot/theft/damage, but it erases the possibility of malicious access over the web and makes it that much more secure.

Use the 3-2-1 backup method (3 instances of data, 2 of them not the original (backups), 1 of them offsite). I use cloud backup(s) for my offsite(s) and the remaining backup lends itself to being an external harddrive (or a very well firewalled NAS if it must be on the network).

Why do these parties not agree on the timeline for the review period? One party claims they had been going through review for 2 months and one said the review was submitted with only 1 day ...

It seems likely that both sides are mis-characterizing events in pursuit of their own goals -- which to me suggests a general environment where parties are tending not to communicate with the goal of arriving at agreement -- but rather as adversaries.

Hackernews will of course assume that the only reason for an adversarial relationship in this scenario is "cancel culture SJW memes" and other "deemed toxic" trends for which the minority voice is almost always the only guilty party.

I think that level of dismissal is unwarranted as it seems pretty likely to me that there is a definite gotcha-oriented communication style coming from the google leadership here -- which very well might reflect an intentionally or unconsciously adopted strategy to create obstacles for voices of disagreement like this.
