Okay, first of all, this is great achievement.

But comparing speeds isn't really necessary or even relevant. For a person that literally has no other way to communicate nobody will be complaining the can type 20% slower than a person with a smartphone. The fact they can type at all is important.

Now, for the speeds, I type 80wpm/400cpm but what is more important I can also freely think while I do so. I don't even know consciously where the keys are on the keyboard, I need to focus on a character and then see where the finger goes as if I was bystander, a passenger of a mech body that observes it do something.

I can only assume that writing with brain-computer interface requires incredible focus and most likely engagement of visual cortex which would preclude from using it for anything else (so no ability to imagine any imagery while typing).
What do you mean it's "off limits"? There are several companies developing ML models that process CT scans, for example: https://www.radformation.com/autocontour/autocontour
Interoperability is a dying concept sadly.
See https://www.tug.org/twg/accessibility/; I'm afraid I can't say more than that.
Yes, calling Equestrians the upper middle class is not accurate. Our classes don't accurately map on to Roman classes; it was just a flip remark. Nouveau riche doesn't work either.

However, the Senatorial class was not an economic distinction either but rather an aristocracy. Even in the Late Republic these were old families who had had Senators and Consuls in their heredity. There were fewer of these clans, 14 at the time of Caesar (of the Julii clan). Cicero by comparison was of Equestrian rank and a New Man, novus homo, in the Roman political world.

Equestrians weren't knights anymore, expected to field a horse, .... The Roman legions had been professionalized by then. There were property and suitability requirements enforced by the Censors.
Presumably you would not agree that this "type of talk":

1. identifies a particular type of person

2. characterizes them in a specific way that, like other group characterizations, is simultaneously an exaggeration, a truth, and a point of view

3. encourages us to think about that the assumptions we carry around about what a "default" model for life should look like

I know people who are very well described by this sort of language, even though (like any group characterization) it necessarily does not capture their whole selves. The description reminds me to not just accept that these people (or anyone else) have some natural born right to whatever position they end up in life, and that we can question whether we do in fact value what they do and say. It leads to questions like "Why are almost all the people who do <insert type of work> like this?", in ways that we frequently do for other sorts of work but tend not to ask about "success".
Totally agree. Using Chrome because it is faster, at this point, is like using C++ for everything instead of python or a good bash script just because C++ is faster. If you really need absolute cutting edge speed for a webapp, then maybe you should be using a desktop application or the webapp needs to cut some fat.
Because it's China and the ruling class in America decided it would not be in their interests to press them on the issue. So they spread propaganda to dismiss it as a Conspiracy Theory. Which is the mental short circuit the media uses to shut down any further thought on the matter.
I've experienced that repair shops ask "and your password and username is?", many times when handing over my laptop - and i'm always like "what, no i'm not giving you my password" resulting in them looking surprised.

Who the on earth gives their passwords, also all laptops should be encrypted by default. I find it absurd to give away the keys to your bank, search history, personal notes, images, whatever - it's beyond private and personal besides being economically dangerous and very bad job security wise for most jobs.

Not blaming regular people though, but it's weird that people are so lax about giving the keys to absolutely everything.

Right, it is better to say McDonald's is oriented around fast training. If you speak the local language they can turn you into an employee worth having in just a few hours. Then over the next months they will teach you more and more things as you prove you worth.
As a manufacturing automation engineer, I can say that this is an incorrect view.

First, employees are way more expensive than their takehome pay. You have benefits, liability, managerial overhead, training, turnover, and facilities costs for every employee. Someone making 20k/yr might easily cost a company 50k/yr to employ.

Second, automation is rarely done to simply replace people. You automate tasks, not jobs. Most customers are looking for improved consistency, not increased yield or quality. That improved consistency means they can better predict their supply chains which leads to savings which dwarf the costs of labor. The other major reason for automation is reducing skill requirement - this frees up skilled employees for more valuable tasks, and removes a major impediment to scaling production.

Finally, most companies have no problem investing in automation. Interest rates are low so its easy to get cheap financing, and robots are in vogue so many companies will invest in automation even where it makes no sense to portray themselves as efficient. Indeed, most companies are more concerned with their valuation than their profits, and the more automated a company is, the more valuable it is in a sale. It's actually really hard to convince customers that they'ed be better served by a cheaper, simpler solution.
Arguing about the $99/year developer fee is a pointless rabbit hole.

No, it isn't - till Apple instituted this practice developers never paid any company for the privilege of creating software and adding value to their platform. Whether the app is free or paid, Apple still makes money when a developer wants to distribute the app on their platform and this acts as another incentive for them to be lax.
One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of these less than lethal systems tend to be far less effective than advertised. Tasers and Pepper spray are fairly ineffective except under ideal circumstances. I would be more interested in what the police have to say about the device after using it.

It is not surveillance, it is transparency. IT support people are in a position of power where they have access to a lot of personal information, and the users should definitely know if there has been a data breach. And somebody getting access to things like bank records of home-made personal porn definitively is a breach.

Ideally, they should not be in a situation where they can access any personal file without the owner being present.
My grandpa was a paratrooper in the 504 PIR from Bizerte into Germany. The times he talked about the war with me, he talked about times he was scared shitless. Husky Two. Strafed in Italy. Jeep blown off the road by artillery fire. Holed up in a barn at night in the Ardennes snow.

The most glamorous thing he ever mentioned was bivouacing somewhere with enough French wine to keep a functional drunk on…that story was over glasses of Port because his war experience inclined him to functional drunks for the rest of his living days.

I don’t recall ever meeting a veteran who thought the important lesson was D-day or liberating the camps. Invariably the point was how much war sucks.
I guess conscious is the eye of beholder. Its a switch between thinking and acting flopping insanely. Basically all multithread web server+site is a kind of conscious. But the self evolution of thinking is beyond conscious, just like us.
Any mammal has conscious, but when the data (culture/static data) can be learned by recognizing abstract patterns linked to body data (reality) it may be able to self develop. I guess we have a lot to do automating processes and middleware interfacing to master transfer of wise between runtime models, runtime data and the core mapping of decisions on a wannabe singularity. The boot of computer language, human language and minimum hardware (boston dynamics?) to a machine have the same kind of freedom that enable us to self learn is the point. If you has no pain data of a robotic body, pain will not be on the scope of that singularity, leading a core with "Hansen disease". But if you capture pain data, you might expect fear behaviours on decision making. In other words its a threat to us that machines could secure itselves cause pain could be an abstract for instance human. We can choose between disposable semi-inteligent machines or a new type of free living being that could enslave us.

Not really interested on birthing a new type of living being too soon. It's not capitalism. But as a tool it can be usefull mocking reality, not surviving to it.

Machines already are good communication tools. Can be good enough processing tools. Not more than enough.
> This is another example why nudes and so forth should never make it onto a digital device.

This is true, but focusing on nudes is somewhat missing the real point (and could be interpreted as victim blaming): this story is another example why your email and bank information should never make it on to a digital device. If pictures aren’t safe, then no information is safe. We all have chosen to put information on our devices that is not safe to publish.

Why would she even hand over her phone to them while she knew there were explicit photos and videos of her in it?
I had the keyboard replaced on a MacBook under warranty at an authorized repair facility. I had to continually decline to give them my FDE password. They fist wanted it written down on a sticky when I dropped it off.

Then they asked for it several other times to “verify” it was working. I kept telling them that you can test a keyboard just fine at the login prompt.

The whole experience was pretty shocking.

>The challenges may come in the disagreements we have about which actions belong to which identities.

This is where the benefits of using tools like E-Prime, a form of English language that avoids usage of the verb "to be" help me. Thinking about things in terms of e-prime allows me to realize that while using labels as a shorthand for more specific information is convenient, I lose specificity and precision, and begin to think in terms of identity when I use labels and think/speak in terms of what things are, rather than think in terms of what people or things actually do.
>Mozilla has proven repeatedly that they are not up to the task of competing with Chrome.

Seriously? Mozilla has simply proven they can't compete with Google on ads: Chrome has been promoted everywhere from TV, Web banners on all major media websites, Adwords placements on all "browser" queries, even subway stations in all big cities... starting with the bundling with Google Earth more than a decade ago. Most people around me switched to Chrome because of all the popups on the Google homepage and because companies slowly replaced the "IE required" with "Chrome required" over the years.

Mozilla also couldn't get Firefox to be preinstalled on billions of Android devices either. I wonder why.
I made sure to leave everything configurable in code so customization is really just a UI issue to configure and serialize the settings.
The role of the radiologist isn't just mapping image[range_x, range_y, range_z] to disease -- it's also including a vast amount of Bayesian priors on the rest of the patient's notes, and their referring colleagues' hints of an indication.

For example, often the question isn't just "does this person have mitral valve regurgitation yes/no", it's more along the lines of "is there evidence from this cardiac MRI scan that their mitral valve regurgitation is significant and able to explain the symptoms that we have -- and if so, is it amenable to treatment". That's a totally different question -- are the symptoms beyond what would be expected for the patient; and is there a plausible mechanism are all second-level radiological questions, well beyond the level of "please classify this stack of images into either healthy, cyst, or tumour". Another random example would be the little old lady who comes in with breathlessness at rest: she may well have a large, slow-growing lung cancer (that any AI algorithm would easily diagnose) that she may well die with or of, but the acute dysponea could be down to an opportunistic LRTI that remains treatable with a course of antibiotics (and visible on a plain film chest x-ray). Capturing that sort of information is a lot, lot harder.

You're also forgetting that the cost of an expensive imaging modality like MRI or CT is amortised over 10 years, and that -- by far -- the biggest cost of running the service is the staff. The doctors do more than push buttons. In many services, actually, they don't acquire the scans or interact with patients at all.
> Geoffrey Hinton … in 2016, “We should stop training radiologists now, it’s just completely obvious within five years deep learning is going to do better than radiologists.”

I hope those two aren’t related. It’s ok to bet your wealth on some technology or business existing or not in 5 years time, but people’s lives and health are more important
That's a fair point if you're going to question an entire field.

I think the difference in this case is the arguments and evidence presented by climate science is generally accepted by experts and policy makers outside of the field.
Indeed, so it seems you can do without giving your password but apparently with a bit of pushing back.

I saw the instruction of Apple to wipe your phone. It is solid advice, but not sure what conclusion to draw from this.

On one hand this is something you always want to do, no matter the security you have on your machine, in order to reduce potential attack vectors. This advice you will give even if your repair people have no access to the device.

But I can also interpret is as advice because they will have access to your phone so better clean it before handing it in.

Good to know we can refuse.
Agreed with this. In all three of Weirs books, the tone/atmosphere is almost continually lighthearted. You can interpret that as a lack of emotional depth, but for me it also shows Weirs laser like focus on stuff he is good at writing: resourceful application of "basic" but real science to solve problems.

They're not even vaguely comparable in terms of utility. I may be wrong, but I think their most powerful unit comes in at mid 70'shp, with a max of ~300Nm torque. Compare that to a midrange JCB Fastrac like a 4190, which has north of 200hp and what, 950Nm? The newer ones are approaching 1500Nm, and a John Deere 9 series can get you up beyond 600hp and getting on for 3kNm of torque?

It's just not in the same league. They're very much light duty tractors.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Billionaires world over suddenly get in shape here after.
It's also a good argument for making full-device encryption without backdoors the default.

There are plenty of problems that haven't been solved. It's just that most of these are million dollar ideas and not billion dollar ones - VCs won't cover them. They're too risky to do as a team, but too big to do as a side project for one person.

There's space for converting reference books to reference tools for example, like a city council once asked me for something to make building valuations easier, but we never closed that deal. Android is missing a dumb cloud note taking tool that just works, and yet there are a trillion note apps for iOS. Heck both platforms are lacking things that just charge once, no subscription, no gacha model.

Also AI opens up a lot of previously uncovered fields, and a lot of it is just API connections.
> This another example why nudes and so forth should never make it onto a digital device

It definitely isn't an argument for that. It's an argument for cleaning your device before handing it to anybody together with the password. That is the only situation when you're at risk.
The circumference of Mars is over 21,000 km/6,500 mi, with obviously no roads or any sort of support infrastructure. Travelling in the Australian outback or Siberian tundra for even a few hundred km requires painstaking preparation and contingency planning, with the first rule being "never travel alone". Expecting to traverse distances 100x longer solo, in literally uncharted territory, when a crack in the windshield can kill you is just not realistic.

I watched it last night with my kids as it happens, and thought it was pretty bad. The story is basically just a single long chase sequence which doesn't really reward adult viewers. I much prefer the one millionth rewatch of Robin Hood, which definitely has a lot of flaws (really blatant reuse of animations) but is a lot more fun with a lot of different action sequences and jokes. Basically the only easter egg for adults in 101 Dalmatians is the What's My Crime TV show.
Right, not just rendering but character design and motion. One recent stand-out in 3D was "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs". The snappy, fluid and elastic movement, and designs, were a nice departure from convention that seemed to draw from 2d influences. Generally the other big studios knock-off the Pixar fashion.

AAA games as of late are even more rigid as they aim for realistic-looking characters, save for monster-design. So you get the same brown-haired 6ft tall white guy hero in 90% of games.

I would love to know what the specific physical difference is with Seagate drives in general that makes them less reliable compared to WD, toshiba, etc.

Nobody ever seems to describe that other than saying vaguely that they use cheaper parts.
This discussion is a lot older than "deep" models. While statements like Hinton's quoted one are obviously silly (often the case with naive takes from deep learning maximalists) there is clearly a lot of room for more impact from algorithms, but I think it's mostly limited by data quality and access.

This is not an easy problem to solve for a range of reasons: privacy, logistics, incentives.
the theory that police kill black people because of their skin color is completely bonkers.

If you check any publicly available crime stats all police shootings were in cases of violent criminals attacking officers or other people, like in recent case of Winston Smith in Minneapolis who shot at officers before being killed, or Jacob Blake who reached for a knife to attack a cop, or Ma’Khia Bryant who was about to attack another girl with a knife, or Rayshard Brooks who attacked a cop with a taser, etc, etc.

Few of these cases were tragic accidents like in case of George Floyd whose sick heart just couldn't handle him vigorously resisting arrest (while pumped with lethal dose of fentanyl), or Breyonna Taylor who was standing in a dark hallway besides her boyfriend while he was shooting at officers.

The list of BLM "martyrs" is long but none of those cases had anything to do with racism.

> China (by a large margin), Russia, and poorly configured proxies are 95% of all malicious traffic targeting US-based businesses.

My reasoning for these kinds of stats is usually: Of course it makes sense to attack targets in jurisdictions which can't catch you or equally hide in a country which won't extradite you. (But I never looked into it to any depth, so it's baseless reasoning.)
