Did some reading on the Argentine Naval Prefecture (their version of a coast guard) and they seem very much under-equipped for the job. Argentina's EEZ is really big, and they've got 5 small maritime patrol aircraft (couldn't find any info on what optics or radar they are equipped with) along with a handful of aircraft with the Naval Aviation force. To patrol a large area like this aggressively you need a large fleet of capable maritime patrol aircraft. A P-3 Orion would be very useful (Argentine navy has 4 of the older B variant but they are apparently non-functional) though probably overkill. Ideally you want a MALE UAV with a good surface search radar (IR sensors are cheaper, but don't have the detection range of a radar and have degraded performance under cloud cover), off the top of my head the only one available for this would be a naval variant of the IAI Heron. Another option would be using over-the-horizon radars, but that's expensive and you'd need quite a few of them. You can supplement that data with radar and ESM from offshore patrol craft and maritime helicopters (either land-based of ship-based).

Coordinating multiple UAV patrols across a wide area and cross-referencing that with other data is a nontrivial task, and because of the distances involved most of that will have to be through satellite. You'll want multiple command centers with the ground control stations for those UAVs, a data processing center, and operators who can identify suspicious craft and coordinate an interception. Because of the distances and numbers involved, you probably won't be able to have enough vessels on station and ready to intercept ships quickly. Better to use helicopters. You want a decent radius of action (over 100 nmi) and equipped with a surface search radar, FLIR, satellite data link and target sharing, room for a boarding team, plus sufficient armament to support the boarding team against small arms fire and the capability to shoot out the rudder if needed (a 20mm autocannon would work well for both, alternatively a machine gun on the door and a hellfire-type missile). Good candidates would be Seahawk or Lynx helicopters. Land-based helicopters won't have the range to reach targets in a large portion of the EEZ, which is where cutter-class ships would come in to play. A more exotic option would be to convert a cargo ship into a helicopter carrier, but to my knowledge no coast guard has done anything like that.

Anyway, that's a rough sketch of what you would need to make illegal fishing operations extremely risky. As you can see, it is expensive (multibillion just for acquisitions, and maintenance and sustainment would probably be in the hundreds of millions annually) and requires a lot of work to get right.
Yup, that's exactly what I meant. BTC (or any other cryptocurrency) alone is not a solution, but it might be a part of it. But I also think it will not be the biggest nor the most important part.
It's not, but it's still careless or slightly reckless behavior. Like leaving a pile of valuables on the front seat of your unattended (but locked) car.

I'm pretty much done citing anything mentioning IQ since it's been so thoroughly 'debunked'.

I grew up learning the history, I know my grandparents (as well as probably great grandparents) played their part in what happened. I am deeply sorry for what they/we did and even saying it these words just sound hollow in light of the magnitude of cruelty and injustice that happened.

I am very sorry what your grandfather had to endure and I am happy he survived. Though it doesn't change the past I will make sure that my children and grandchildren will remember what happened in order to prevent anything like that happening in our lifetimes again.
I've become a lot more accustomed to paying for software - often after using the free version. My biggest emotional aversion to paying for software remains paying for something that I ultimately never use.

I'm also extremely hesitant to subscribe to anything. Those often come with emotional regret when I realize I haven't been using it and my CC has just been getting charged.

Software like WinSCP, NotePad++, Typora, Firefox, etc... are all software that I use on a daily basis, that I happily pay for, or donate to.

It just feels better to buy something with a one-time payment because I walk away with the perception of owning an asset, rather than am running a subscription liability. Similarly donations make me feel better (often made with feature requests).

I think a lot of open source projects should revisit the one-time pay monetization strategy for additional convenience features. I think the people are becoming a lot more comfortable with spending money for software.

The 1856 Paris Declaration, in fact. Also the 1907 Hague Convention. The US was not a signatory to the former, and did not agree to the provision against privateering in the latter, so for the US, at least, privateering is still on the table. Argentina, however, was a signatory to the Paris Declaration. Perhaps they can change their minds, but probably they won't for something like this.

One of the main tasks that doctors do is take patient's vague and non-specific problems, build up a rapport with them, understand what is normal and what is not, dealing with the "irrelevant" information present at the time, and focus the results into a finite tree of possibilities.

In principle, this would be a great task for an ML algorithm. It's all conditional probability. But every such system has failed to do that well -- because the "gut feeling" the doctor develops is funded by a whole host of prior information that an ML algorithm won't be trained on: what is "normal" for an IV-drug addict, or a patient with psychosis; how significant is the "I'm a bit confused" in the middle-aged man who was cycling and came off his bike and hit his head? Do the burns on the soles of this child's feet sit consistently with the story of someone who ran over a fire-pit barbecue "for fun", or is it a non-accidental injury? It's a world of shades of grey where, if you call it the wrong way, ultimately someone could die. Doctors do Bayesian maths, and they do it with priors coming from both their own personal experience as a member of society, and professional training. That is, in my ignorant opinion, the main distinction between what I do -- oft-called "academic medicine" or "academic radiology" -- and clinical medicine. The former looks at populations. The latter looks at individuals.

In other words, I don't think it's even possible to codify what the data the ML algorithms should be trained on -- they're culturally specific down to the level of an individual town in some sense; and require looking at huge populations at others.
I don't think this is anywhere near as obvious as you make out. Film is an odd example, given that the films that lay claim to being great works of art (e.g, Koyaanisqatsi, Wild Strawberries, The Battle of Algiers) are rarely the most popular and highest-grossing films (e.g., Transformers, Avengers, Toy Story). We usually mean something by 'greatness' quite different from 'popular'.

Even if we just focus on popularity (i.e., first-order preference satisfaction), money is a very rough proxy for it:

1. Lots of profitable activities, once you price-in their externalised social costs, are net negative. Given the scale of the climate and ecological crisis, that is very far from a marginal phenomenon. Ecological economists like Herman Daly argue that once ecological costs are included in the national accounts, we are running a GDP loss.

2. Some commodities are instrumentally necessary but intrinsically negative. Many people acknowledge that social media is a net negative, but use it anyway because it helps build their profile and career. Market dynamics often transform intrinsically positive activities into merely instrumentally necessary activities, e.g., the marketisation of academia means researchers spend their whole career optimising for maximum articles and grants, not great work.

3. Market demand reflects the stratified incomes of people around the world. Markets are therefore heavily skewed in favour of the interests of the rich.

4. Market exchanges which are mutually beneficial for the transacting parties often have unintended effects in the aggregate, sometimes negative, e.g., no one wants Facebook to be a monopoly, and no individual makes it so, but it is the aggregate consequence of people joining Facebook.

And yet I trust "Cupertino iPhone Repair" (my go to third-party repair people, in whom I have quite a lot of trust) or "Shakeel the iPhone Repair Guy" (that is a legit place I have multiple friends who highly recommend, though I haven't used him personally; I have, however, heard detailed stories of his process) more than this process from Apple on this matter of data privacy (and always have: this story has changed nothing for me except help me prove to others how careful you have to be) as my chosen third-party repair people will repair my phones while I wait--often in front of me (making it quite difficult to screw with me very much)--and notably don't ask me for my passcode. If Apple's system isn't, in fact, perfect--or at least nearly so--then they can't continue to morally justify their monopoly on grounds of "but everyone else is dangerous!! only we can be trusted!!" (not that that should allow their behavior anyway, but it isn't even a legitimate defense).
Right, but "the training data is bad" is a very ML centric way of looking at the issue. It pushes all the difficult parts of the problem into the "data prep" sphere of responsibility.
>What kind of life would that be? It can not be too comfortable or everyone might decide not to work which will bring down the entire scheme.

Yeah, this is why I am against a UBI that is based on living costs. If you are going to divide society along those who work and those who don't you can't mix and match them in the same region. They'll have to live in cheaper places with less opportunity to make it easier for those who do decide to work. The idea that people live in SF on UBI without working while they push workers out is absurd. It would be a dysfunctional system that collapses on itself.

Sure, if you want to live on a UBI exclusively go to Florida and find a nice and quiet community in a cheap location.
All cases I've seen were justified self-defense by cops or cases were police were protecting civilians/bystanders from the armed criminal, or cases where exact cause of death is hard to determine because of multitude of complicating factors like drug overdose and poor health in Floyd case (as per his coroner report).

I don't know what is gained by resurrecting the ghosts of racism after decades of civil rights progress, to me it seems like an obvious political fabrication which profile is raised before the elections and soon forgotten.

I've heard BLM leaders complain that their cause has been cynically exploited for political gain. Some of them are sincere and i feel bad that such powerful movement was not used to target e.g. poverty, drug addiction or prevalent black-on-black violence but instead turned against police who protect these poor communities from themselves.

The last thing they need is reinforcing victim mentality, which BLM movement actively promotes.

possibly, granted i haven't gone over everything she's said. Her job description of running SpaceX day-to-day balanced with SpaceX's achievements is what makes her pretty amazing in my eyes. Maybe things have changed, maybe she's delegated the day to day ops to someone else. I can't be 100% sure.

You're also not getting anywhere without a leader assembling the right team (which i think is Musk's real talent) but, to me, i most admire the people on the ground making plans, managing/coordinating, and turning wrenches.
The oil companies knew about climate change in 1989. They used this information to distort the science, seed doubt and lobby politicians.

"Marty Hoffert was a scientist working at Exxon Mobil Corporation in 1989, the first researchers to build a computer model looking at the effects of man-made carbon emissions on the climate.

His results were startling. Man-made carbon dioxide was killing the very planet.

The first action was to set up the purposely misnamed Global Climate Coalition. An organization funded by oil companies around the world to aggressively lobby politicians and media.

An organization that was in essence, pro-climate change.

Next came another ironically named organization called the Information Council on the Environment. This beauty of a non-profit had the stated goal to “reposition global warming as theory (not fact).”

They targeted “older, lesser educated males from larger households who are not typically information seekers” as well as “younger, low-income women.”

Does that group sound familiar? It’s the modern GOP’s most fervent supporters....

The 1TB Barracuda ES.2 was hardly better. Around 2009-2010, I've set up 3000 of them. 1800 had to be replaced under warranty.

After that we switched to HGST and never looked back. For the thousands of Helium HGST/WD drives I've set up since 2014, I had to replace only a handful of them overall. In fact my support account generally needs a password reset because it's been sitting unused for 1 year straight... Contrast that with the awful time when I was spending half my days replacing Seagate drives, and the other half asking for RMAs...

It is all about the money baby

If u fall and go to the ER, u get an xray to rule out a fracture. Many times the radiologist will read it after you leave the ER, yet he gets paid.

If u think ML cant read a trauma xray, and offer a faster service, you are wrong!! The problem is who gets paid, and who is paying the malpractice insurance

Check out in China, they have MRI machines with ML built in. U get the results before u get dressed!!
On the opposite, I find Web as a platform much more accessible (as a developer) than having to program with desktop toolkits (Gtk, Qt, etc). Tight iteration loop (F5, F5, F5...), the one and only truly cross-platform solution (from different desktop OSes to billions of mobile devices and smart TVs...), a rich open-source ecosystem (~1.3 million packages on npm).

What else?
Bluntly, no. There hasn't been an improvement. At all.

We've been using machine learning in geology for far longer than it's been called that. Hell, we invented half the damn methods (seriously). Inverse theory is nothing new. Gaussian processes have been standard for 60 years. Markov models for stratigraphic sequences are commonly applied but again, have been for decades.

What hasn't changed at all is interpretation. Seimsic inversion is _very_ different from interpretation. Sure, we can run larger inverse problems, so seismic inversion has definitely improved, but that has no relationship at all to interpretation.

Put another way, to do seismic inversion you have to already have both the interpretation _and_ ground truth (i.e. the well and a model of the subsurface). At that point, you're in a data rich environment. It's a very different ball game than trying to actually develop the initial model of the subsurface with limited seismic data (usually 2d) and lots of "messier" regional datasets (e.g. gravity and magnetics).

to be fair, Geoff Hinton invited this comparison when he made that quote, which has been repeated ad infinitum in the past 5 years and probably brought a lot of existential dread to radiologists. The AI field should have repudiated it harder, instead they embraced it because it was flattering.
One can still label one's self in terms of things they do rather than what one thinks they are.

Rather than label one's self (or others) as "intelligent", one can think in terms of they are a person who takes time to be thoughtful/analytical/measured/takes tim to view all sides of a situation.

Rather than think "I am a hacker", one can realize that they mean hacker as a shortcut (label) to mean they engage in DIY projects, or like to ae software, or like to automate things, or like to deconstruct software to find vulnerabilities, or like to deconstruct technology to use it for originally unintended purposes.

Labels are convenient and useful but it is important to realize they are only a shorthand and that they can cause confusion or hurt as much as they help.

It's not the same thing at all, in the sense that this is very much keyboard-driven whereas FancyZones is mouse-driven.

Think of it as XMonad-like, with permanently tiled, auto-arranged windows (see https://workspacer.org/screenshots/) and able to move/rotate windows using keyboard alone.

I use FancyZones a lot and am currently trying to find a Mac analogue - nothing does "drop and place" the same way.

In the meantime, I've switched from Moom to https://github.com/kasper/phoenix and implemented XMonad-like tiling (Amethyst-like) in a couple of hours:

https://gist.github.com/rcarmo/1daccbe9abbbb5c133b7b48d05cc0...

...in comparison, I have yet to build a FancyZones equivalent since mouse handling requires a completely different logic when doing window placement (I have to grab the current window frame, figure out if it matches a predefined zone, etc.).
