A lot of these pieces on "ethical AI" just seems like theater to me. I'm sure if you ask the authors of the modern techniques of facial recognition, they'd tell you all about the wonderful and great things you can accomplish with it. And yet we also have state actors using it for great harm, and this is true of a lot of foundational AI work that then powers AI solutions to problems.

Maybe this kind of "push" from conferences will help power a change, but the given the replication crisis (which the author mentions) has been well known for a long time and nothing has really happened on that front, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Not trying to, just rationalizing why the deals been set. I think it's actually a pretty fair compromise from both sides - doesn't necessarily mean it's better than being in though!

IIRC Grant formerly made videos for Khan Academy, and thus uses the same virtual-blackboard as Sal. However, Grant animates with a Python lib whereas Sal draws by hand.

Former cyclist. I used an old leather business card case to keep ID, a credit card, and some cash in one of my back jersey pockets. These days I'd look at some of the small aluminum cases that are for a similar purpose. My only cycling shorts that had pockets were for casual mountain biking.
UK and European Union phone 116123
Yes. And the EU negotiated with other countries on our behalf - with unbelievable bargaining power as the world’s premier trading block.

Now we’re a country of 70 million in a world of 7 billion trying to negotiate within a world dominated by bigger and more powerful nations and trading blocks.

We went from a big player in the biggest block to a medium player all alone.
PCI is far from good requirements. Some of their controls make sense, some made sense for corps in the 90s and some are completely opposite to what you should do. It's good that they at least force the company to think of the requirements and dedicate some time to it. But I really wouldn't put PCI DSS as a good example, or an "almost always safe" example.
Being part of the EU was all good and nothing at all bad.
It's not that we have no sense of humour, it's that:

a) Almost all of us have seen it before.

b) A comment with just an opaque link doesn't really add anything to the conversation.

c) That comic doesn't even apply in this case, as Oklab is not trying to be a universal standard covering all use cases. Its intended purposes are quite specific and different from the other colour spaces.
Agreed.

What the deal does provide is a different relationship. It's absolutely not just 'being defacto in the EU'.

How you take that depends on your own political opinion, but it's certainly not the same as before!
Not sure what the thrust is here, but there was some form of insistence early on that certain parts of any deal be conditional on UK being part of ECHR. I believe that was negotiated away, but it remains the case that UK remains a member of ECHR.
With fishing, I wonder how long will it take that it will return to some sort of status quo. That is EU companies will keep fishing and maybe the move the flag and subsidiary to UK, but there won't be any real new jobs in UK...
I'm very curious about this too. I'm going to seriously consider this color space, as well as cubic splines, as native gradient types in piet-gpu, because I think it's likely we can see higher quality at modest GPU shader cost.
Given what I learned when a friend purchased multiple Occulus, I think Fackbook really fucked up. Each unit has to be attached to a different Facebook account, and creating multiple Facebook accounts is forbidden. Bye bye having 2 units at home for when friends come over. They deserve to be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible under anti-trust laws.

The UK has expressed continued interest in raising animal standards beyond those enforced by the EU - the PM even mentioned it in his speech as an example where the UK will go further in regulation.
we ran around $1k in ads last year, targeting senior-level engineers at technology companies

While sure it sounds like you were ripped-off, I would expect that just about any mass-market medium offering ad-targeting to "senior-level engineers at technology companies", "senior managers", "wealthy yachting enthusiasts" or similar super-high-value clients be a ripped-off if it was offered. I'd imagine anyone in the position would avoid anything that could target them with ads (blocking ads, going incognito, avoiding social media, etc)because otherwise they'd be continuously barraged by companies.
Years ago a software contractor in the UK got a criminal conviction for putting a hidden time lock in software he wrote. His intention was not to cause harm, merely to ensure he got paid.

This ought to be treated as a criminal matter. Of course it won't be.
Well, as the article explains, "Mavis Beacon" was not the name of the company. It was indeed intended to be a person's name. To me, it has the feeling of a name that _could_ be real but which is also a little bit on the nose -- kind of a Holly Golightly situation.
Putting the self-sacrificial, better without us bullshit aside (the sheer arrogance of which in itself is nonsense because the UK had a huge influence in making the EU what is today), the view is europe centric because we are geologically and historically European, and the UK has just given away the incredible influence it had in the world's largest trading bloc, the one that has brought about the longest period of peace within the continent.

Whatever you and others might believe, don't try and spin Brexit as an act of nobility designed to protect the EU from the all-powerful, magnanimous British empire of yore. This agreement, and the past four years, has been an incredible loss and have set the UK back by a good 40 years. We have been in the throes of populism for half a decade and are only digging deeper into it.

I think that's a good point. I do believe that we can engineer general purpose intelligence that is not exactly like humans, does not have feelings, does not have any real autonomy, etc. And I think that if we intend to use them as slaves then we really need to do that.

And I also think regardless it would be good to avoid creating fully autonomous digital intelligence to compete with us. Try to go for more like an embodied Star Trek computer than for Data.
Years ago I read that The Wire made The Sopranos look...silly? Or at least not as serious and gritty. I kind of agreed for awhile, but I'm actually rewatching both and appreciate the different styles more. One thing that strikes me is the acting - The Sopranos is filled with amazing performances, particularly the dynamic between Edie Falco and James Gandolfini. I hate Tony Soprano and really dislike Carmella, but I'm so conflicted about both.
Which countries? What major untapped markets are in need of what the UK exports but don't already have it? About 60% of our exports are services, particularly financial and insurance and we just lost passporting rights to the EU on those.
The EU is not perfect but we've fucked off out of it without planning or preparing what to do next. I mean the deal that we'll be trading under in 7 days time has only just been agreed and isn't even ratified.

Nope customs Union would have been fine, as it would have compromised between those that want the best for the economy and those that are more concerned about immigration.

Those talking about “sovereignty” as if there is such a thing as sovereign vs non-sovereign nations are a minority of Brexit voters and did not need to be pandered to. Unfortunately they made up a good proportion of the ruling class.

Except now we're a small economy and one that's shown itself willing to break international laws we'd only just signed up to. Not something most trading partners are looking for.
Fun, reminds me of some similar holiday-themed DOS executables I made back in the day. They were drawn using a program called TheDraw and then could be dumped onscreen with Turbo Pascal or C. Add a few batch commands to check the date in the login script and you’ve got some holiday cheer.

> Our conceptualization of the problem domain is fundamentally insufficient.

There have been people in the AI community saying this since at least the 80s/90s (e.g. Hofstadter). It's an old idea that has been difficult to get much traction on, partially because it's a long way from applications. NN, SVN, etc. for all of their limitations can draw that line pretty easily.

At this moment, maybe. But the EU is sliding toward becoming one country. It’s inevitable now that there is an agreement to take on shared debt. The UK has dodged the bullet of further EU integration. From the other side of the pond, trust me you don’t want any part of it.

There's a confusion here about what is really going on here.

In truth, advertisers care more about volume that quality, and so the industry has a bias in that direction. It's entirely possible to have much higher precision, but that precision turns out to be not what advertisers are looking for.

For example, take "college educated high-earner". Well, there are a bunch of such types who don't spend or making purchasing decisions like the rest of that group, and a bunch of people outside that group who behave exactly like them. How did the advertiser figure out that they want that group? Did they really figure out that if you aren't meeting those criteria their ad is a waste of time? Of course not. They're just guessing, and they don't intend for their guess to constrain their audience.
There's a difference between consciousness and intelligence. An Intelligent Infrastructure or AI system can make business decisions and not need to be self-aware to be effective. It just needs to be integrated and have access to multiple data sources to be effective at scale.
It's a common term used in data governance. It's found less in the academic literature, and more in software demos and vendor brochures. You'll also hear "data lineage", which is the context in which the term arises.

"Provenance" just means where the data came from. [1]

It's one of those shibboleths and terms of art used by people in industry. If you go to trade-shows you'll hear it being used -- it's worth knowing if nothing else but for its sociological value among the data software tools crowd.

Side: it's a little like the word "inference" being used as a verb by folks in AI (example usage: we use GPUs to speed up model "inferencing") -- in AI, to inference means to "predict". It's a term of art. If someone with a traditional statistics background went to a deep learning conference, they are likely to be very confused because in traditional statistics, inference means to obtain parameters θ in a model y = f(x,θ), whereas in AI, inferencing refers to obtaining y.

We always had the right under EU law to make emergency authorisations for medicines. How is that related to Brexit?
To be fair, the "proper" use case is based around the Sessions rather than the "throw the Lightroom migrants a bone" database feature that was tacked on later. It was never intended to be an asset manager.
True.

But as a huge player, the EU also had to make more generic deals, for lack of a better term. It had to be beneficial for all EU countries.

As a smaller player, the UK can be more specialized and agile in its trade deals. Is that better than being in the EU? Only time will tell.

When I was a younger going through a very painful time there was a brief period of suicidal ideation and the suicide hotline would have been a very useful resource for me. I didn't know about it at the time, so I just called 911, and they were very kind to me but their response was absolutely awful. It was pretty clear they weren't trained for such conversations, and just send the police to pick me up. The police! Fortunately at the time I just needed anybody in the world to show that they didn't want me to die, and that was just enough. But the hotline probably would have been more effective and not ended in me in a police cruiser.

Classifying images was always classified as a problem that can't be solved with statistical analysis. Deep learning layers are beyond human understanding, so in my view artificial intelligence happened, even though it's not yet as intelligent as humans.

If the data is sensitive, keeping it on a locked down iPad is nowhere near enough to protect it. I can understand if they're using the images for machine learning or something, but if it's truly just to prevent future malpractice, data like this should only be kept on air-gapped systems or offline media.

That said, let's hope we're beyond the point of anyone caring about pictures of the human body or whether someone's had plastic surgery.

Well, UK citizens are no longer EU citizens.

But surely, BMW also simply knows when they sold that specific car thanks to their own records, no?

Like, imagine you were selling cameras, you sold someone a camera and then they come in to your store 5 years later with the same device - is it ok for you to ask "hey, this device has an expired warranty, would you like to extend it?" - you know this because as a seller, you have to keep a record of every device sold. You don't even need to know the owner or any personal information about them - you just know that the camera in front of you has an expired warranty.

>>
And the fact that you (the driver) have an expired warranty is private data.

Well I think that's where the problem lies. It's not the driver who has an expired warranty - it's the car that does, and there's nothing you can do, EU or not, to prevent BMW from simply knowing that a car they sold at point X only had a warranty for 3 years. They don't need to know anything about the owner at all.
Sure, you get more freedom to negotiate your own terms, at the cost of being a significantly smaller player. So you lose some leverage and gain some elsewhere.

It's really to early to tell how this will shake out, but it's obviously as silly to assume either that in general UK will be able negotiate better deals on its own than as part of the EU, or that it won't be able to negotiate any good deals.

Easy (you don’t even need multiple companies), but it would double your overhead and means you’ll have to keep more supplies (if you run out of EU-regulation foobars, you can’t grab a few non-EU-regulation ones) or order them in smaller quantities (⇒ quite possibly at higher prices), have larger stores of stuff to be sold, etc.

That wasn’t even worth it for global electronics companies to keep producing non-RoHS-compliant electronics, and quite a few of them produce at scales that few others do.
