Other people have explained the part of the question that you missed, but in the interest of helping you clarify your own point, if the group of 6 people are all from different continents, and have never met, then you don't have to spend so much time searching for a counterexample.

The actual question as it is posed is perhaps my favorite problem to show school children. So I'll comment on that too, and maybe it will help you.

I draw 6 non collinear points on a white board in a hexagon, and explain to the students that the goal is to place red or green lines between every pair of points in the hexagon so that no red or green triangles whose vertices are all among the 6 points are formed, (here the green lines represent the relation (have met) and the red lines are (haven't met), since we are forcing every line to be colored, this is just the pair of a graph and it's complement). Most students get the idea pretty quickly, and then even get the idea that there are certain subgraphs which make a solution impossible. For instance, if I have any quadrilateral whose edges are colored red red green green, in order, then the diagonal cannot be colored either red or green. Some bright students start to get the sense that if this were possible to do, then it is likely to be possible to do by taking a graph where the condition doesn't hold and replacing one of the legs of an offending triangle.

They start to get the sense that it can't be done, and sometimes one of the students in the class will try to figure out how many graphs they would have to look through in order to prove this by "brute force". The simplest proof is to notice that a vertex with three edges of the same color incident on it is forbidden, but also is necessarily the case for every vertex.

> said when it was coming

ehhhh there was a lot of uncertainty around that. they just said a future update and it wasn't on time.

I had my doubts and other people had their doubts, dual sim modes have been neglected for some time and there are still several limitations in iOS that make it seem like its not much of a priority.

until the last few incremental updates you can tell from Apple's own communications on their forums that they thought of Dual Sim as more of a temporary traveller's use case, with them popping in a local sim card in different countries here and there. As opposed to someone that doesn't want to bother with two phones (or a handicapped VoIP number that also wouldn't have an iCloud account) and just always has two numbers in the same country. They are catching on, but the skepticism is there and they are incrementally fixing it successfully.
Expect this kind of thing to continue.

Peak performance comes from dedicated hardware. Almost always has. Maybe always, but someone here may have a better answer.

Dedicated hardware has a couple very solid advantages:

Once designed and performing, it will continue performing very efficiently.

It's possible to get real time, high performance and very reasonable power budgets all at the same time.

Integration with software can be clean, robust and efficient.

For software as a service, assuming the chips never leave the family, it's great insulation against IP theft and competition, who must generally hire or replicate the work done to gain advantage for themselves.

Downsides:

Revisions are brutal, unless the design and protocols are very forward looking. Older revision hardware can be bolstered with software, until it all reaches a point where software alone may perform better.

For a long time, barriers to entry were insane.

The FPGA has grown to a point where very powerful designs can be prototyped and performant at modest clock speeds.

Barriers are dropping and the need for differentiation ever increasing these days.
Still sounds weird to me. I use an Android phone, I can unlock my phone at anytime using either face, fingerprint, or passcode.

What exactly is the reason/rationale that it has to fail on facial recognition first before proceeding to use passcode?
The misunderstanding that leads to belief in strong AI is that meaning is somehow embedded in the symbols used to communicate it. Meaning is a natural process that occurs inside each of us, speech is just a symbol of that meaning, text is a symbol of that speech.

Further, meaning is an ever-evolving, ever-mutating process much like the universe.

Training on symbols cannot arrive at meaning, since the meaning isn’t contained in those symbols. Using past symbols, also means no room for evolution.

Machine learning does work though in areas where the needs of the end goal are densely present in the symbols being used for training.

Like recognizing text. We learn to recognize those marks from just the marks, and nothing else. And so those marks contain all that is needed to recognize them. This can be encoded/learned.

But what they mean isn’t encoded in them, nor is it in words, in sounds, in facial expressions, in tones, in body gestures. It may even lie in between us, rather than in us.
Don't widely-recognized awards tend to lead to greater pay and power in one's career? I'd much rather be awarded an Oscar than a spot on my employer's "Actor of the Month" plaque...

A Nobel Prize, as an example, is not significant because it comes with an earth-shattering amount of money or power. But the prestige associated with it can certainly help one's career, which often comes with more pay and power.
Way late to the discussion, but I second the positive remarks on SwiftStack. It's in the easy button category in this case. The core storage engine of SwiftStack is open source (OpenStack Swift). However, the nice wrap-around tooling and web dashboard is not open source.
Disclaimer: I don't know world global finance, I don't know much about economics, I hold several cryptocurrencies. I am fantastically unqualified to actually make this post.

I was curious about this comment, because I know FOREX is a massive market. According to [1] the daily volume of FOREX in USD is $6.1 trillion. According to [2], the average 'consumer unit' (ugh... I guess that means 'person'?) in the US spends about $63k per year. Let me know if my maths or methodology here is wrong because, and I cannot stress this enough, I am a moron acting in good faith but a moron nonetheless... (63 000 / 365) * 330 000 000 (the US population) = 56958904109.6, or $57bn. That's a lot but it's only (conveniently) about 1% of the volume of the FOREX market. Which means what, the vast majority of USD changing hands is in the form of 'converted to/from other currencies to make profits based on speculation'?

Again, please let me know if my methodology is broken, my sources are shit, whatever.

Agreed. However it still is dominated by the "haves" vs the "have nots". Proof of stake is awarded to those with the largest stakes, which favors state-sponsored miners and works against decentralization.

I like how Monero's RandomX is designed to level the playing field: ASIC miners don't significantly improve over CPU mining so more people can participate in mining. Of course, this doesn't address pools, but it is a start.

Yay proof of stake!
Eh. Not be disrespectful of the talk but the US excelled in the one thing it excels at more than most. Money. Raising enough money to buy vaccines en-masse. That was to be expected. The parts that didn't need money, ie closing down key sectors of public life, restricting freedoms of civilians in state of crisis, wearing masks, social distancing led to one of the most atrocious response to a pandemic this side of the past century. Even Central African ebola outbreaks are generally well contained (Reasonably) and those governments really don't have the money to invest in science and medicine as the US. Other than that tid bit I disagree with, the talk really doesnt talk about state-craft how I imagined they would, more focused on specific examples and instances. Trees in the forest if you will but a great talk to listen to while doing some work!

Really enjoyed it.

I find this part inscrutable:

> It is possible to write a function which uses no conditional logic at all

And then goes on to show several examples in python, ruby, and mathematical syntax using condition logic.

I mean, just moving the conditions into a lookup table does make it "not conditional".

These programs both use conditional logic:

for x in range(10):
print(x, 'is', 'odd' if x % 2 else 'even')

for x in range(10):
print(x, 'is', ('even', 'odd')[x % 2])
I think that's an intriguing point - and I also feel we generalize "artificial general intelligence" to the point & in such a way where humans have yet to even achieve that level of intelligence. How can we build smart systems if we don't know what smart even looks like and human benchmarks turn out inefficient for machines.
This (might) help you, It helped me anyways.

I think the difference is that propane torches are an imprecise mechanism generally used to clear dead area between planted rows, while this laser based solution could be used selectively within a planted row (provided it is real at all).

Fully agreed about the 3-point comment though. Why take on building an autonomous tractor AND a targeted weed-killer, rather than tackling the differentiating problem only? Seems like a hype train measure. Or the systems integration is very important, in which case a partnership would be the obvious route or white-labeling an autonomous tractor. Regardless, this strategy seems very weird to me too.

It sounds to me like they want the YouTube Music app to open when you search for a song on the YouTube app. Those are two entirely different apps, with different content, experiences, etc. It just so happens that Google named them the same, probably so they could more easily force integrations like this.

Well yes he/the government deserves a lot of the blame but he's bowing to an industry with so much wealth and power that they have more sway over politics than the average citizen.

The obvious fix is to not vote these people in to office but I realize that's not so easy as it sounds.

Staking can be pooled just like regular POW mining pools. However unlike POW mining pools you have to give the majority of your funds to a trusted party whereas with POW mining the maximum you can loose is the unpaid balance between payouts which is usually some days worth of mining.

This is a bad comparison. There's only ever one voice search button on the remote, but there are multiple easy-to-click search bars when you're viewing maps.

IMO, even if I had Spotify on a Roku, I would be fine with this change. It's not difficult at all to press the home button and then the search button to signal you want to search outside of YouTube. A big chunk of YouTube's utility is that it has music videos.
Function calls to another module ALWAYS introduce a breakpoint so the BEAM (Erlang VM) can check if the target module is up-to-date, and perform hot code reloading if it isn't.

Therefore, every function is interruptible (implicit async), and calls to another module function introduce the breakpoint (implicit await).

You always have at least one process, the one running your code. Even if you don't spawn any more processes.

And the BEAM still needs to handle signals (like messages, traps, crash, ...) that could be received from another node at any point in time, therefore it needs to be able to interrupt your code, which will be, by design, interruptible.

The very nature of Erlang/Elixir is asynchronous by design, even if you don't really see it in the syntax (as it should be, because your concern is the algorithm/data exchanges, not the underlying execution model).

Well now that I’m so used to a level of privacy that locked iPhone provides (notification details are hidden), I just don’t mind having the phone relocked each time. It’s a trade-off that works for me.

Also, it wouldn’t surprise me if significant percent of users actually checks their phone at least one in 15 minutes. This would mean that their phones would be at unlocked almost all the time.

Still need money to own stock. Huge % of Americans are food insecure let alone able to put money into Robinhood.

I do think there is some underlying insight here in terms of risk ability.

From my view a lack of safety net, healthcare specifically tied to employment, is a big reason people can't afford to take those risks like you mention.

I wonder if there is further research? hard to control..

One counter argument I found this pdf has some hard stat examples despite our failings US still leads entrepreneurship:

- expect to start new business US 16.4, UK 11.1, France 17.2
- 3 Month new business US 8.9, UK 5.1, France 3.1
- France slightly wins survival .8, UK US tied .7

Towards the end of the article, he seems to argue GDP lifts all boats?

But the Fed seems to acknowledge that they specifically took their 'foot off the gas' because inflation was #1 priority, and that black and brown Americans were not actually 'lifted.'

Monetary policy alone isn't enough because so many Americans don't own the means (stock) nor the land (seems basically free infinite money driving up housing and valuations).

But good news Fed seems to have changed, will now use race and income equity as a policy factor for the future.

Why is China even harsher with their drug laws than America? Why is Sweden, perhaps one of the most egalitarian European countries, stricter than most of the EU?

I mean sure, some of the domestic American situation is like that. The disparate penalties for cocaine and crack cocaine come to mind.

Reminds me a bit of alcohol prohibition. Alcohol consumption was through the roof. It was a real social problem. The weight of the "solution" was borne on the backs of the working class persecuted by the law and people who got gunned down in mob violence. While the middle class got booze prescribed by their doctors, and the elites were of course above the law. But that wasn't exactly the intent of the temperance movement.

A lot of perfectly intelligent, worldly and moral people support some degree of drug criminalization because they believe they're more harmful than the prohibition side effects. No conspiracy there.

It's a rhetorical tool that quickly highlights the absurdity of pointing out actual harm experienced makes the subject un-objective.

Would you prefer an example of 50 companies being hacked, them advocating for better cybersecurity measures everywhere, and someone pointing out they're now un-objective and should be dismissed? That this doesn't indicate anything about how cybersecurity measures are needed?

I also find it hilarious that you're accusing me of playing "bingo" while half your argument is:

"logical fallacy", "strawman", "appeal to emotion", and "poisoning the well" in quick succession.

Although I'm hoping it's just good sarcasm if it's impossible to distinguish.
Correction: my understanding is incorrect, zig does not compile two versions of the functions. Nonetheless, it does not switch.
I kinda agree... but to be fair, her business customers are random people from a huge reservoir of untested individuals who will come and go as they please, while the production business is a smaller group of regularly (daily) tested individuals who will be yelled at and possibly delay production, if any of them test positive.

I wish that LA/CA/USA had bothered to actually mandate contact tracing, and that "outdoor" dining had been given more priority. LA at the time was suffering a huge wave of infections that literally overwhelmed their hospitals, although most of them were from more densely housed "essential" workers (factories, farm, cleaning).

Also, Americans suck at masking... pretty much all them, maybe because culturally they are taught to only care about themselves and not anyone else.
There is a high likelihood of a fork, but forks aren't necessarily harmful to Eth. The "rebelling" miners can't actually do anything to the proof of stake system.

A bit of an aside, but this was always my biggest bugbear when learning maths way back when I was in school - we were never given any practical reasons of why any of it was useful. Even if you explicitly asked the maths teacher "what's it for", they could never give a useful response - it often seemed like they'd never considered this themselves.

Around 13-14 years old, I got interested in building mods for Quake. When I decided to create a bot, I finally understood at least how trigonometry was useful. I won the annual mathematics prize at school that year, and I'm sure it was only because real-world use had gotten me interested.

It sounds more like you have a problem with C++ and some of it's features, like function overloading and its move semantics, which I agree can be confusing and they always turned me away from C++, I just prefered C because it's straightforward.

Is there any reason to believe, strong AI is around the corner?

I am not really engaged with AI-research, but I follow the area with interest and my impression is, that if strong AI will emerge in the next time, then only by accident. I mean there are lot's of awesome advancements and for example I did not expect Go to be solved since years already, but still - I see no way from current tech, to a general AI, that can really understand things.

Or is someone aware of more groundbreaking research?
