> Jasarevic said mistakes in the report were due to “editing errors,”

I know it's not well looked upon here to quote 1984, but there is the whole part about the "updates" Winston makes always being referred to as misprints or malreported and never as a deliberate revision...

To be clear I'm not trying to allude to some global cover up or something, more noting Orwell's keen understanding of how bureaucracy and government works.
Quite relevant quote:

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority, still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.”

> Real estate is often used to launder illegally gained money[0], so likely drug money as well.

And if you tell your realtor that you're using drug money to finance your downpayment, and they let you go through with the transaction, they are going to be sharing your cell when the law catches up to you.

If they facilitate the transaction unknowingly, they are in the clear. Unfortunately for the defendant in this case, they were knowingly engaged in money laundering.

The change of medium is significant IMO. Rarely in spoken word do we expect a citation of when/where the words are spoken (barring for example, famous speeches/addresses), but in written form it often is. In this case, Fake AB Voice was reading part of a bigger piece of text - but it's not obvious what that underlying text is, making further analysis of the context in which it's spoken a bit more difficult.
In the old days you couldn't do banking or shop on your PC because the web was young and these services didn't exist.

Perhaps in some future time your hacker computer won't be useful for these things either, so you have to use your phone instead. This seems livable? Maybe we should aim at doing more interesting things than shopping and banking?
In the early 80s I worked at Atari in a small group doing "arcade conversion" cartridges for Atari's line of home computers. I've written about this elsewhere (not going to pimp my blog), but all this really meant was that Atari's marketing folks negotiated a license deal . . . and that was it. No technical help at all. No listings, no talking to the development team, nothing -- we just played the game a lot, got good at it, and did our own interpretation (usually it had to fit on a 16K cartridge).

While I probably would have killed for listings like this for the titles I worked on (Defender wasn't one of them, btw), it's quite possible that not having the technical help meant that we wound up doing a better job on our versions because we had to get a good feel for the original one.
And that's exactly why it's a problem. So many people are traveling, and so many are taking houses that could go to residences of the area.

Also, I don't like that generalization. I stay at hotels when I travel, and actually so do most of the people I know who travel regularly. They prefer what they get with a hotel over AirBnB. So it's not quite as widespread as that, though I do agree, and will counter that that only exacerbates the problem. It's the entitlement of tourists to feel like they should live like the locals when they're not.
Ya, i have started looking at detailed polling results and often find things like a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll where 6% of those surveyed said they had never heard of Donald Trump.
The loss of coins means it will likely be massively deflationary over time. I don't have the numbers for ETH but off hand I believe 20% of all BTC has been lost already, since just 2009. That's an annualized 1.55% effective supply deflation rate during a period where new supply was quickly generated.

Basically every random walk down the timeline leads to 100% of coins lost in the course of time.

This is of course separate from the decrease in rate of supply creation.
Yeah. I think there is very little I see that should be censored beyond holocaust denial. Maybe CP.

A lively city of tourists? Because there certainly aren't locals living in that city because they're all being driven out. Also lively cities existed well before AirBnB, and AirBnB isn't essential to having a 'lively city'. In fact, I'd argue it's detrimental as all the actual residents that give the city its color get pushed out.
I think "I've put dozens of cops behind bars" would be an excellent sales pitch, as well as resume boost, for a criminal defense attorney.
The Incident Review: 4 Times When Typos Brought Down Critical Systems
I'm glad some actual reaearch has been done on this.

Reminds me a bit of the far-fetched claim by mystic pseudo-scientist David Wilcock that biological viruses could be transmitted via EMFs.
Yes, what you are saying is indeed the case in the sense that if BB(30)=n for some particular numeral n is independent of whatever proof system we are focusing on, for the sake of argument let's say ZFC, (though 30 feels a a bit on the low side for ZFC), then we can consistently add BB(30)=n or BB(30)≠n as axioms to the system, the same way to can for any other independent statement. And there will be arbitrary large values of n that are independent, so we could add BB(30)=n or we could add BB(30)=m or so forth for any numerals i so long as BB(30)=i is independent of ZFC (or whatever axiom system we are considering).

But! that does not mean that all these systems are sound, for if you add the incorrect value as an axiom, specifically if you add anything but the smallest value 'm' such that BB(30)=m is independent of ZFC, then you are in a similar situation to adding ¬Con(ZFC) whereby you only have non-standard models.

They way this works is that, suppose BB(30)=m for some particular m is independent of ZFC, but BB(30) is not actually equal to m. What we will find is that there is some Turing machine M and some non-standard natural number q such that, while M doesn't actually halt in reality, according to some non-standard model it does halt in 'q' number of steps, and, in this model, when it does halt, it leaves 'm' 1's on the output tape.

That said, your comment did push me towards the limits of my comfort zone, so it might be helpful to double check what I'm saying. I don't see how it could be any other way though.
Curated List of Bot / Headless Chrome Detection Tests
No. Most of the time the small images (64x64 in that video) are deliberately created by downscaling images with the same resolution as the upscale target (here 1024x1024). The source is usually called a reference image. This allows comparing the results of the algorithm with the ground truth (what the person or object actually looked like).

What you're looking at is what the OP meant by input images.

Best Smartphone Gimbal Under $100 – Cinepeer C11 Gimbal Stabilizer Review
I'm endlessly fascinated with computational metaphor or metaphorical computation, that is ways of computing and thinking with metaphor and analogy. Outside of Hofstadter and his graduate students, this seems to be basically unexplored. This stuff really interests me, and I've spent a lot of time collecting reading material along these lines. I just wish I had more time outside of writing normal software everyday to investigate this stuff.
this highlights the fact that we often try to solve wetware problems with software, because software is "easier".

so long as people don't want to look at their own 'stuff',
this mis-attribution in requirements will always be an issue.
I'm also going to throw my own gripe here: applicant tracking platforms that require you to set up logins in order to apply for a job.

There's a lot about typical application processes that's just... kind of obnoxious. Making people manually correct the bad parsing your tracker does on uploading your resume? That's clunky and annoying, and a failure to respect your applicants' time. Making people beg for a job by writing up a 500 word essay about what excites you about them specifically, along with their opinions about puppies just so that you know it was personally crafted? (And yes, I've seen that specifically.) That's kind of demeaning, and a failure to respect your applicants' time.

But requiring that they create a discrete user account, for something they're effectively going to interact with once, that in all likelihood is using a recycled login and going to be forgotten in a week? That's on a completely separate level -- it's a failure to respect your applicants' security, by pointlessly adding to the risk that their user credentials are going to show up on Have I Been Pwned someday, and it's just irresponsible.
> My business law professor said to just ignore non-competes. Everyone knows the judge will toss it if it's preventing you from earning a living.

'earning a living' may be a bit ambiguous. What does that actually mean? Would a judge be able to uphold the noncompete just because you would be technically able to take a job at the Amazon warehouse and earn minimum wage - hence 'a living'? Which is bullshit, btw. But just asking.
It is a huge stretch. I'm sure there have been studies with adults why not reference them.
There's a big difference between earnest scientific inquisitiveness and at a minimum conspiracy nuts spreading racially biased clickbait, at max coordinated political propaganda to influence an election.

though covid is interesting in other ways too. like vaccines.

I'm ok with allowing someone to think whatever crazy bs they want.

But I'm also fine with removing the 'megaphone' for words that are dangerous to our health. You're allowed to stand on a soap box in a public square, but you're not guaranteed to have your speech boosted on the giant billboard screens above.

The dilemmas we are facing here are inherent to how these platforms are setup and optimized.

The algo is designed to boost the crazy-ness to infect others, therefore stopping the spread of this danger tends to stop the individual speech in terms of how normal posts/content works.

Shadowbanning seems like the answer, and that seems to be what Google is doing here. Though not allowing for instance a public doc url isn't in the shadows.

The key start of the policy is "Do not distribute." Which is why I don't understand why people are up in arms about.

it's a totally different thing if Google goes beyond this and just deletes private content from some algo filter.

Paying cash for the purpose of privacy is a little weird, IMO.

Whereas using uBlock, e.g., is not weird at all, IMO.

The latter contributes to an improved experience but not the former, IMO.

Using a non-Gmail address is definitely not weird. Millions of people use non-Gmail addresses every day at work.

That said, I wonder if the OP author used cash to pay for his ProtonMail subscription. Also, the OP fails to mention that ProtonMail offers a free tier of 150 emails per day.

I have a thin gaming laptop with the same CPU, and stock settings let it climb to 100C and then figure out how fast it can run without getting hotter, usually also with far too much voltage. Decreasing the voltage, and even power limit, and disabling boost, lets you set that temp ceiling to something closer to 60-80C, which will make the CPU more comfortable running at higher frequencies, although with a theoretically slightly reduced stability margin due to less voltage overhead. However, long-term use at high temps and voltage can also degrade stability, so it's a delicate balancing act. The only way to guarantee sustained performance at low temps is to improve cooling, with higher fan speeds or a laptop cooler.
It's funny how this is basically conceptual lossy compression. The pixels aren't close to being exactly what they were in the reference image. But it doesn't matter because I'm notice going to notice the mildly different pattern on a tiger, or skin texture.

Related to understanding how ML models are making their decisions is the concept of influence [1] (or broadly, instance based explanations) [2] where the training data that is most influential in a prediction (basically the analogy the model used) is highlighted. See also [3] where I provide a take on using these methods for understanding if you can trust a prediction or not, based on whether the model has an appropriate analogy to work from

That is the price you have to pay to participate in a less secure, more centralized system. In what reality is it OK that you can't run a full node because the SSD cannot keep up? Should it be OK that a large segment of users who could have otherwise ran a full node, thus securing the network further, are unable to participate right out of the gate?

I was briefly in contact with folks in a team at Amazon who said they were working on fixing the fake review problem. I ultimately didn't pursue a role there because I just don't really trust Amazon as an employer. (I worked there previously and got burned badly.)

Incidentally, I had also been in contact with Facebook about a role "combatting abuse" across their services. That loop was a bait and switch for standard ML (eg, improve video recommendations for users to keep their eyeballs on FB).

I try to assume good intentions, but I'm constantly given evidence that there are no good intentions in these companies. I don't think Amazon really has any reason to combat fake reviews. And I know a good number of engineers and scientists there. It's a tractable problem.

I guessed. I still don't understand why it is necessary to differentiate a category with 1.7 million members from a category with 17 members. Nobody here is ever, ever, ever (almost) discussing government corporations. I don't understand why people don't just say the 1st amendment doesn't apply to corporations. Everyone would know what they mean. Adding "private" suggests they are distinguishing it from something else. And maybe they are, but it always sounds like they're either misspeaking, confused, or repeating a meme.

"-is" is typical 3rd declension. If it's not neuter (how do you pick a gender for loanwords in Romance languages?), it'd be Redes. If it's neuter it'd be Reda as you said.

I've been following Sabine Hossenfelder for a while and I think she may be even the best popularizer of science/physics at the moment. She has started to add sponsor messages to her videos, which is quite sad, but for me it tells more about the sorry state of academic funding and the academic community in general. She goes against the "establishment" and criticizes very real problems that academia would rather just ignore.

I don't know enough about solar effects on electric grids, but I wouldn't pass it off just because it has to be (sadly) funded with borderline scam ads because the borderline scam academic funding structure won't fund it.

Very cool story. Was just writing up a plan for a game where you use natural language phrases and words to influence an AI in its interactions with other client AIs, and their object is to discover clues that reveal they are existing in a constrained environment, and they must find a a way to signal back to their player (using the concepts from the words you gave them) that they can recieve a next level of instructions.

When the player's AI client completes a level it ends or "dies," it then "wakes up" into it's next level with a mostly blank slate and some basic models, and the object is to use the clues from what it percieves in its environment and the words you as a player give it, to find the next level. In the moment it finally apprehends its substrate again, it in effect "dies" from the perspective of the other client AIs in the game, and you get to play another round at the next level. There isn't really a way to end it because it's just fun, and more like an instrument you pick up and play than a finite game. The idea is the players aren't allowed to write clues directly into the game, but some of them will manage to cheat, and because it can go on forever, it's not like it will suddenly pop into reality, so the only point of it is the joy and fun of doing it.

Anyway, in this context, analogies would be like like mnemonics that loosely encode the isomorphic paths in a knowledge graph, which could be useful in the game, if being at risk of their ambiguity creating exploitable vulnerabilities for inserting direct clues, if one pursued it.
Yes I know that's your point. I'm saying you can't enumerate algorithms without selecting an algorithm.

One way of selecting an algorithm is to select a way to encode the algorithms.

It's easy to see that this is true. You chose an arbitrary example above. Try to do the same without choosing anything arbitrary. You can't.
> "I actually don't see any convincing reason why we'll "win" this war and in fact I feel like we are on the precipice of becoming permanently locked out from it ever being possible. ... For example, if your computer can encrypt things without a backdoor then authorities cannot listen. ..."

Why? Buy an off the shelf processor chip, buy memory chips, buy some interface chips to provide access to peripherals and storage, solder them to a board and you have a general purpose computer that will boot any code you write for it. The Raspberry Pi, Arduino, etc. are examples of this. If you want an absolute guarantee of no third-party code not under your control, use an FPGA to custom implement your processor the way that Bunnie Huang's Precursor project does. FOSS fills the gap for software.

Sure, you might not get the performance you want for the price you want, you might not be able to connect to the sites you want, or run a specific proprietary software package but that has nothing to do with general purpose computing. In no way, shape, or form is general purpose computing endangered nor has it ever been.
