No, I meant using eg pandas even for that. We built an data annotation processing system at my last job like this. Literally customer specific csv files that got booted up and then an online flask service received restful updates of data annotations transactionally written back to the backing csv.

Managing it as separate csvs per customer allowed some incredible optimizations for fanning out processing and performing reporting and dashboarding. The process running pandas allowed us to do much nicer aggregations, pivots, filters, etc., and by not writing it in SQL, we had so much more flexibility in application code and especially in unit & integration testing code.

If data size per customer was going to grow substantially larger, we would have needed to migrate the workload to a backing SQL database, likely Postgres, but the nature of the problem meant this axis of data size was not a problem (every separate csv represented a completely isolated advertising campaign from a customer, with only up to a few million records per campaign).

Using a flask server program to do this in pandas was an aspect that really, really paid off for us.
I used to do ad scheduling 10+ years ago and at least in those times the ads has NOSCRIPT tags.

But for it to really work you would need to store a cookie to correctly redirect the user.

I like your idea of rendering the ads on the server side, but I would hope they would have super low responsive times. Or at least low timeout on your side.
You're only looking at the gained education for the 95% and the lost education for the 5%, not at the social cost of some of the already disengaged 5% ending up in jail for armed robbery or murder.

Again, it all depends on where the 5% end up. You're not allowed to take them out back and shoot them like an aggressive dog, so are you going to look after them and give them some kind of a future, or are you going to throw kids out onto the street to grow up into career criminals?
I don't know the details of the tracing, but let's say I control the wallet that is to receive the ransom. Wouldn't it be "trivial" for me to sell some to e.g. a Chinese millionaire, who in turn would transfer me some money from his Cyprus bank account to mine? Or replace "Chinese" with any country where there's less "Know your customer" requirements. It's probably not even that hard for a Chinese millionaire to pay one of his housekeepers a lot of Yuans to borrow her identity card to open that account...

Battery life is partially a reason. If your car would be online 24h, it’d drain 12V battery faster. And you cannot trust iOS or Android not to kill your app in the background, when it’s waiting for the car to be awake to communicate. Servers can queue that for you.
Not all of the joy, but a lot of it. My dad was born in a village in Bangladesh. Like a real village. They practiced subsistence agriculture and didn’t get electricity until the 1990s. One out of every three children died before age 5. They lacked of everything a typical child-free American would need to consider life tolerable. But believe it or not, most were pretty happy.

As of 2016, the average income in Bangladesh was around $2/day: https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/bangladesh/annual-hous....

The same year, 66% of people reported they were “very happy” with their life. https://www.thedailystar.net/frontpage/bangladesh-tops-list-.... Sure, Bangladeshis aren’t as happy as Americans. But the average Bangladeshi lives an existence that would drive your typical child-free American to suicidal despair. What do they have?

This is apps on phones

There's still no need to make it go out through the Internet and back again --- even Bluetooth has more than adequate range.

In fact, I'd argue that the limited range is a benefit, because it prevents some hacker anywhere else in the world from manipulating your car.

A 'human level intelligence' simply means something that is roughly capable of doing the same things as a human, all at the same time, at least at a pure cognitive level (Stephen Hawking was not physically able to make fire, but that does not disqualify him from being considered a human-level intelligence). At the very least, this involves understanding how to interact with the world, understanding basic physics, being able to create tools to interact with the world, and being able to communicate at least with others of your 'species' about ANY knowledge you have gained (so a crow isn't a human level intelligence, because it is unable to communicate more than a handful of kinds of information).

For a machine without a physical realization, this becomes trickier to manage, anf often must rely on also specifically learning human language so that it can be probed aboht its understanding of the world. But if we built a robot that could walk around, gather food, build some tools or shelter, and teach another robot what it discovered, I think most people would be happy to call that AGI, even if it couldn't read Shakespeare and weep.

It's a cellular antenna, like you'd find in your smartphone. And if I remember correctly it's soldered to the microcontroller, in a tight space with lots of wires (not to mention any potential metal contact points).

The antenna on the body of the car is for XM/FM/AM radio and is only a receiver. It's not connected to the cellular modem in any way at all as far as I can tell (apart from being attached to the same car).

It'll vary for each manufacturer, but in my case shorting the modem was trivial once you knew which pins to connect.

>There is a lot of empty land in the world that isn't useful for people to live in or to grow crops due to lack of rainfall, which also makes those sites more valuable for solar energy.

There is no such thing as 'empty land'. Every square meter of Earth is part of some ecosystem that is under stress due to human activity. Solar and wind compound this problem.

>then reduce that to 30 to account for night-time

How about reduce that to 0 for night-time? I have yet to see a solar panel that works at night, or works well in cloud weather, or when covered by a layer of snow.

>Sounds like a lot, right? That's a rectangle 100 km by 300 km.

You missed some detail of land-use requirements in calculations. Like accounting for the battery technology that doesn't exist in order to bridge the intermittency of solar and wind. Also, even if this mythical battery technology existed, you would need to over-build wind and solar because after all, when the sun is shining you need to collect enough energy for right now + enough energy to save for later. Given that estimates say that we would need a minimum of few day (but more likely few weeks) of stored energy, for each day of power you generate, you need to over-generate a few days (or weeks) extra to store for later. Also, the population is growing. Our per-captia energy use is growing.

But let's set that aside. That is a lot of land. How can you say it's not!!!?? Every single one of those panels will be land-filled and replaced continually ... forever. So you have 100km x 300km (+ whatever materials you need to support and maintain those panels) of shit going to landfills that then you will need to subsequently dig up again to replace ... forever. And that's just one country. Our ecosystem is already stressed!

The thing is, ISO isn't charging a fee with the idea that they can make money selling the standards. Hell, most standards they publish don't really have a monetization plan beyond "make all the relevant member organizations happy". The one exception is video, and that's not even money that ISO MPEG (or ITU VCEG) even sees. It all bypasses the standards orgs entirely and goes straight to patent owners through a clusterfsck of patent pools.
I’m not necessarily disagreeing, but was taking a less cynical perspective. I was talking about the “self licking ice cream cone” in that politicians will protect their constituents interest whether it makes sense for the country or not.
Everything you just said is total nonsense. This idea that you are going to "wear out" a GPU is something people started saying when they were obviously bitter about not being able to find GPUs and seeing them being resold later for more than retail after they had been used for mining. There is nothing to back this up unless something melts.

I'm not sure who this product is targeted at. If it's for "home consumers" then it doesn't really make that much sense as the calendar is focussed on the 9-5, while home calendars are usually more focused on the 4pm-10pm. Also bear in mind that home calendars will have multiple simultaneous appointments - Dad will take the dog to the vet appointment while Mum takes her daughter to the ballet, so it needs to be possible to show these side by side and be readable (especially considering these are short activities).

Then if this is for office users who schedule lots of meetings...

If this is a product which is intended to be used in a corporate environment, the fact it is missing Exchange support (or at least that this is not stated) is a huge gap for most people.

Additionally is this thing a touch screen? Like if a new meeting appears can I accept it on this device or do I need to go and get another device just to accept the meeting?

And if I have a meeting at 6am does it shrink the time to show it? How about all-day meetings, do they show up at the top? (Sometimes I have a combination of all-day meetings with other meetings throughout the day).

Can I click on the meeting and see more details? My calendar is full of lots of ones called "Catch up - X and Y" and it looks like the later part of the meeting name might be truncated so I would need to have the option to either see attendees or who it is with. So I conclude that this probably isn't for someone with lots of meetings, unless it's mainly for novelty.

Then if it's for a person who doesn't have that many meetings... the price is a little high.

It looks like a great product, it just feels like it needs to work out the problem it's trying to solve a little bit so then you can walk back to the features you need to implement. It risks being a product which is more about novelty than about being something usable in the long term. I know the page says home and office, but you might be better picking one and working out what building a really great product for that single user category means.

It seems more ethical to bury our trash in our own backyard than bury in a poor country’s backyard or chuck it in the ocean. In the US we definitely have an out-of-site/out-of-mind problem where “recycling” can often really be “another guy’s landfill (e.g. China)”. We value not trashing our own environs with scant recognition that in terms of the global impact of our consumption, it doesn’t matter who’s landfill it goes in. But we’re the same way with strip mining.
I have seen you and others make this point in the past, it and always seems equivalent to creationists shouting "Scientists who believe in evolution are the REAL dogmatists who don't want to look at the facts! We are really being persecuted by the religion of Science!"

Your talk on this subject (helpfully posted below) only furthers this when you present a variety of arguments of wildly varying strengths against AI, in the same vein as "37 challenges to evolution". It makes me feel like you have some valid criticism and a lot of bad faith argumentation.

Sadly, I think this characterization is only mostly unfair rather than entirely so. I enjoy your writing and thoughts, and you speak with clarity, but on this subject I think you have constructed a mold of bad-AI-argumentation that you squeeze all AI-argumentation into and in so doing fail to rebut any of it.
> I have never, ever seen a company where those wikis are actually read.

This misses a key point.

When I get a query that's answered by something on the wiki, I reply with a link to the wiki.

If the wiki link isn't fully relevant, if possible I update it before replying.

If I have to write significant new content to respond to the query, I create a wiki page.

Your attitude of "docs are useless" is self-fulfilling.

Docs are only useless in companies that actively want them to be useless. And those companies are, with no exceptions, seriously dysfunctional.

I agree that animal intelligence and mobility/dexterity is a more useful goal to aim for now than "human-level".

Boston Robotics seems to have proven that one can get very useful and adaptive mobility with existing algorithms and a lot of (apparently manual?) fine-tuning. Power density seems to have played a role there.

I think for manipulation, the first challenge is useful vision and understanding. The robot needs to see the 3d structure and often infer parts that are not visible, or at least be able to scan around to create a complete picture. It needs to identify and/or recall affordances for that type of structure. It also needs to understand the physical properties of the object such as whether it will deform and how much.

For vision the ability to acquire and analyze point clouds now is an advantage over what was generally available in the 80s or 90s. Personally I believe that it is possible to build very useful manipulators using point clouds converted to voxels and then deep learning from that to get affordances and control policies and I think people are doing it.

To be really efficient and effective though, systems that do have inference about the world as a starting point seem more promising. I am reading a book called Surfing Uncertainty by Andy Clark. He seems to be advocating for Hierarchical Predictive Control. Everything is making sense to me. So far I am finding it light on the details of how to actually implement it. I think that Ogma may be doing something like this. It seems like something I need to at least understand.

One thing I think about is to be able to "just" reconstruct 3d oriented surface sections from individual 2d images. Because it seems to me that that is a strong prior to leverage in recognizing whole surfaces or shapes and then from there object parts. There are interesting papers similar this this but so far not quite what I was hoping for. Which in a way might be good because that motivates me to keep learning.

But anyway I think that really strong vision and understanding is foundational to robotic manipulation. And I also think part of the problem people have is that it's so hard that roboticists often give up and deploy very poor vision systems which means they are handicapped before they even started planning movements because they don't have an accurate detailed picture and understanding of what they are looking at.

But also I need to finish Clark's book because I think theories like predictive processing can explain a lot of the advantages that animals have over most robots.
There are two ways that I interpret this

* What’s being written down isn’t valuable, so people don’t trust the wiki to have valuable information and therefore ignore it.

* What’s being written down is valuable, but people have been trained to get information elsewhere and therefore don’t bother going to the wiki

I don’t really know how to address the former (“write better!” isn’t very actionable advice), but in my work I see the latter a lot, and the only way you can fix it is socially—if someone asks you a question that’s answered in the wiki, you have to tell them “read the wiki” instead of giving them the answer yourself.

People are lazy, and it’s almost always easier in the short term to just ask someone for the answer instead of looking it up yourself.
Right, just like physical cash.
