Because the new wave don't know how to do this. Deep Learning as AI was sold as "statistics in place of physics" -- ie., no need to understand reality (the target domain), simply brute force it.

The peddlers of such a message were bamboozled by early successes and lacked sufficient experience of empirical science to realise this was never going to work.

No NN will discover the universal law of gravitation from any dataset not collected on the basis of knowing this universal law. With 'statistics as theory' there can never be new theory, as a new theory is a precondition of a new dataset.
With money, you can mitigate the consequences of climate change for yourself or even avoid them altogether; you can't do that with the coronavirus.

> You want to reduce comments comparing your city's poorness to another city's poorness.

Not exactly. My bad, perhaps I should've provided an example of the kind of comment I'm talking about. I can't be arsed to go find that comment right now but it's about this video:

https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/video-of-man-eating-animal-...

The comment I'm talking about begins with (iirc) "The same thing is happening in LA..."

I don't know what chip you have on your shoulder about this "gatekeeping" but I wish you luck and hope that these things aren't happening in your cities, but of course you have the freedom to say that they are regardless.

I want to add something: I'm just against saying that these things are the same. I'm not saying anything about better or worse or that poverty isn't poverty. Given a choice I might rather be the average homeless person in India as opposed to LA, because at least I wouldn't be as likely to be there due to crippling addictions or mental illness.

That's why I compared it to languages, I don't think one established language is objectively better or worse than another, but direct translations rarely work well.
it's doubtless negative from a vc perspective, because it generates value rather than profit.
I'd say you have a fair point about the competition, but not about their being a lack of critical examination. A critical examination of the market would yield the fact that surveyed black viewers want more content targeted at them, don't feel fully represented even in the existing black content that's out there, and that despite an admittedly (and perhaps temporary) spike in black content, an estimated $10b in revenue is being left on the table due to the mismatch between the supply of black content and the demand for it by black viewers.

So yes, BET, and others, are going after this market. We looked at the landscape and decided there was something different we could do that wasn't just unique, but likely execute in a manner that the incumbents could not realistically pull off.

BET--to use your own example--is owned by Viacom, whose two biggest strategic revenue plays are growing Paramount+ and licensing their content/channels to other distributors. Thus, BET can never be all the way in on serving the black audience, as Viacom will always look to maximize a piece of content through the channel that makes it the most money--usually one of the two I just mentioned.

There's also the product side, where none of the incumbents have invested in, and the large players, have actually disintermediated themselves by selling through other products like Amazon and Roku channels. Now we haven't built out a differentiated product yet either, but it's on the roadmap and you can be assured that disintermediation is not a strategy we're interested in.

Yet I understand your criticism...this idea is not new, has lots of competition, and is late to a game that has already started. But no one said this would be easy, and we have a differentiated approach that we believe gives us a strong shot at success.
As many pointed out this is flawed at the root. The author talks about examples of cooperation in nature and then says "oh too bad the economy isn't like that."

(a small heuristic I can't help but share, I looked up the author and he's one of these people that hasn't figured out how to rotate an image so his face is sideways in his twitter profile)

A little nuance or just thinking would reveal understanding and functioning of cooperation within an economy. In fact, the economy is a cooperation machine.

The classic example of the butcher, the baker and the candle-stick maker who each "happen" to product things that the other 2 need, so that the 3 of them are jointly much better off is cooperation in its purest form.

On a national level, economists "prefer" peaceful trade to war-time adversity. Good trade helps each country be better off (this is just the baker/butcher example magnified) which again is cooperation being used to benefit humanity.

Now, companies. Google as a company is "worth" what is because it creates more than the individual employees could have on their own. Google creates value by creating an opportunity for them to cooperate well and is rewarded for it. A company is a cooperation machine.

Even in relationships that are in some way zero-sum (what I pay my producer or what I charge my consumer), smart businesses are "long term greedy" meaning that they don't go for the opportunity to starve out their suppliers or consumers, instead they let them keep the margins they need to sustain the relationship long term.

Now obviously, like nature, economies deal with competition. If my town can only support one bowling alley but there are two, the alleys compete to survive, same as animals compete to survive if their environment requires it.

The author is basically disingenuous or silly because he takes two things that are basically analogous (competition for resources and survival in nature and in the economy) and contrasts the cooperation examples from one to competition examples from the other, which is as pointless as it sounds.
My point is that the FBI will just use that as a pretext for greater intrusion into privacy. Why stop at users who have iCloud photos turned on? Why not scan all photos?

Why limit it to child predators? Why not use this too for terrorists and anyone the FBI or any other government deems as subversive?

In fact, if you just look at what the FBI has been saying over the years, that is exactly what they intend to do.

People who say that this is a slippery slope argument don’t even notice that they have been sliding down that slippery slope for decades.
Which is about as close to modern English as modern Irish is.
It's hilarious how a macOS-lookalike desktop environment is using Linux-like technologies like Openbox and KWin, rather than building something in Cocoa. I suspect it will cause trouble trying to bodge KWin to have Mac-like window management, or support apps that integrate with Apple's graphical acceleration and compositing frameworks (Core Animation? https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2019/10/22/dramatically-red...).

That seems very strange indeed.

Makes me curious about the context. I guess it’s a company that maybe has managed to either raise too much money, or prioritized quite poorly where to spend the engineering power…?

> So why do we need a Netflix for black people?

Someone perceives an unmet need, and seeks to meet it.

> Why can't e.g. the existing Netflix simply air culturally black content if people are craving more of it?

They could. Someone with sufficient motivation and resources to launch a business thinks they aren't. That's...kind of true of most startups—an incumbent could meet the need they are marketing too, but they think the incumbents aren't.

> Why does the service itself need to be exclusive and segregated?

The proposed offering is neither exclusive nor segregated; no one is excluding people from subscribing or segregating them.
interesting, so by analogy just as as those disparate groups got subsumed into a larger one in some rough identity integration thing so too we would hope to further widen that group to join with other groups to subsume everything under the sun where group divisions are no longer even perceived. The whole "just one race" sort of thing I'm imagining.

I've done the "reference the spec section" thing before -- the difficulty is that often section numbers or similar things get stale when a newer revision of the spec document is published; so it can work for a slow-moving thing like the C spec but is more awkward if the spec/manual gets a revision every six months.

To be fair, I think that's more attributable to the secular trend around car prices recently (car prices across the board are up because of chip shortages and buying demand from rental companies) rather than anything specific to Tesla.

But, re "there is so much misinformation about Tesla it is unreal" — I agree, but that doesn't mean you can just categorically ignore _all_ information about Tesla.

Yeah next time folks here will defend CIA as bunch of highly moral patriots, well they are either clueless or outright lying, which goes well along what CIA is anyway supposed to do.

US has no moral high ground. US folks here might feel like they still do, but to 95% of the world, US can easily end up bigger bully than any other state, ie Russia or China.

And by bully I mean murders, kindappings, torture, rape and so on. Or just death of few hundreds of thousands of civilians. For reasons that are at best dubious.

How many of those in the article were coming from Afghanistan theatre, a war that US and allies lost recently and ran away quicker than locals could say 'but wait...' ?

Man, am I pissed off. US should be trying to win, or at least keep good friends in near future. This is not how one should do it.
Well, you either have to take care to check each package size or you could, you know, maybe make sure the food chains label the cost of product per standard unit of weight.

I'm not worried about collisions and I agree that being able to put metadata in the UUID is a big meh of a feature. The problem with v4 is what happens when people try using them as database keys: the random sort order can really hurt performance. You might argue that the fix for this is to simply not use UUIDs as database keys... but so many people are already doing this, and will continue to do it, that they should probably be given better standard options.
Inkscape has a handy mode where you can use the mouse wheel (with Ctrl, I think) to select objects that are stacked. It also makes everything else translucent during that gesture, which makes selecting the correct stacked object rather painless and intuitive.
The votes seem... pretty useless for most products? :-D

For example, by the votes the Sony WF-1000XM3s[1] are 31% "half-creepy", 12% find them even "super creepy".

Why? Hot take, but IMO these headphones are as "not creepy" as it gets. You don't have to use the app, they work fine as is. The app doesn't need any permissions. Still, the majority find them at least "half-creepy".

Or this Canon Printer [2] here. It's... a printer? Which allows to print stuff from the cloud via your own device. (Discontinued) Google Cloud Print could be creepy for some, but the printer works fine without it, locally. The majority thinks "Yep, that's pretty creepy"? Or are they just voting with the default setting "half-creepy", without moving the slider? :-P

10%~30% "not creepy", 30% "half-creepy", 10% "very creepy" seems to be the default distribution of votes for all more or less harmless products. Maybe the default value of a vote should be "not creepy", not "half-creepy" :-D

And yet Reddit is a success
I tried long memorable passphrases for a time, but a few of my passphrases were not as memorable as I expected and I ended up having to reset several of them. Eventually I got fed up with it and switched to an offline FOSS password manager and use generated passwords from that. To unlock the password manager, I use a single long passphrase that I am confident I can remember. Now I worry that I'm putting all my eggs in one basket, but at least my passwords won't be guessed or forgotten.

I use emacs to interact with other machines or remote boxes. All of my customizations and preferences are magically applied to remote files. For example, I wanted to edit a file in the Hetzner rescue image and I just opened it using tramp and wrote my changes.

If I were to use emacs as just an editor, I’d probably stick with sublime or vscode or something. The same UX across many common workflows is precisely why I prefer emacs.
> Splay trees aren't a dynamic programming thing

My mistake - I meant to write "dynamic optimality".

As for the "not used in any database storage backends", I have personally started experimenting with them due to higher-order effects they can provide relative to their optimization technique.

The fact that the most recently accessed node is always at the root also means that incremental tree updates are well-bounded in terms of # of nodes that would need to be rewritten to disk. This allows for much more efficient usage of storage-friendly things like append-only log structures.
And how do you discover these good conversations? And how can you enjoy them async (I'm probably in a different timezone from your chat)?
Even if did ship a perfect product, it wouldn’t stay perfect because the world changes.

I'm not sure if the concept of "inflation" really applies to a situation where a company was effectively gifted monopolistic control over something in exchange for "promising" that they wouldn't do exactly what they're doing.

"It would be a shame if your company had to be split up for antitrust reasons."

The sad thing is that it does need to be split up, but this was probably the stick used by the FBI/CIA to get their way. And as long as Apple does what they want, they'll let it go about its merry way.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting about my intentions or those of people giving honest feedback here. If BlackOak is only interested in black viewers, then good luck. They simply won't be getting my money or attention, then, since I don't identify as culturally black. Personally I don't see why their (or any) platform needs to be exclusive to further their mission. If I made a "Neflix for white people", what do you think the response would be?
Fascinating content, but interrupted six separate times by a "Type your email... Subscribe" text box. I wonder what the conversion rate is on that fifth box; who misses it the first four times and then decides to sign up?

Back on topic, I do hope that some of this is simply being withheld and is not truly lost to history, but it does make one wonder: At what point will the digital information inside secretive state agencies like the CIA be analyzed by, say, 3rd-millenium historians, in the same way that we analyze cave paintings? I enjoy reading through some of the declassified Apollo mission engineering documents, but I would be shocked if a future government was willing to release such shameful material even decades after it was no longer of strategic importance and the individuals involved were all deceased.

Thanks, had a good read up on epistemology.
What's the best option for running a totally offline computer? There's like a thousand Linux distros floating around and not one focused on allowing for maintaining and installing software on a 100% offline computer.
This system does not stop you keeping whatever you want on the phone you purchased from Apple, it only affects what you try to send to iCloud, so no the analogy to bank vaults is not your phone, it is asking Apple to hold your data on their servers and people trying to send them illegal data to hold.
I think it's interesting what people consider to be "naturalistic" color representation--the sensitometry and psychovisuals behind why Velvia 50 is considered to have exaggerated colors, while something like Kodachrome 64 is considered to be more natural, is a bit complicated.

Velvia 50 had, among other properties, a higher Dmax (maximum density / deepest black) than other slide films at the time, which allowed it to be shot differently, at a lower EI. Overexposing slides washes out the colors, so this difference alone accounts for some of Velvia's reputation for rich colors.

There were also differences in the sensitizing dyes. These differences are a bit more complicated than what you can capture in an RGB model, so when people try to replicate Velvia's look by increasing the saturation in an image editor, it generally fails. You can't just create an ICC color profile or Instagram filter for Velvia. Other "vivid color" films often tried to achieve more saturation by adjusting the sensitivity curves instead, which creates a very different look from Velvia 50.

People are also used to seeing films which are specifically designed to give a certain look to lighter skin tones. A lot of work went into making people, specifically white people, look "good" in standard consumer films and certain lines of professional films.

Where is anyone arguing against you? The point is that the demands for solutions may be neverending, but that doesn’t mean the problems are non-existent.

I think you're on to something.

I do find it interesting that I've noticed many product managers use ticket systems to track and reference work and changes, while programmers use version control systems to do something very similar. These two systems often link to each other via hyperlinks in ticket systems and ticket numbers in commit messages. The most coupled systems like git and Github Issues are still at arm's length to one another. Even Fossil (to the best of my knowledge) considers tickets and source commits/branches/etc to be separate entities. Maybe there's something worth looking into there that integrates the concepts more than just links and hooks.

The bigger issue IMHO is that rush of endorphins when I complete a ticket. It's more fulfilling to me when I can quantify my productivity, and tickets allow me to do that. But that combines with the idea that your work = your worth, which is completely untrue. That's the core issue that I'm still trying to work on for myself.
Yes, this AVX-512F instruction makes fp16 to fp32 efficient:

https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide...

The result is that Winograd convolutions can achieve an effective FMA rate of twice the peak rate of the CPU.

The Winograd transform reduces the required number of FMAs by a factor of 5x, but you can only do FMAs at half peak rate (because you are bandwidth limited), so you come out ahead by a factor of 2.5x in theory (2x in practice).

Without fp16, that 2x advantage would be lost.

Just my two cents, a product having an optional app at all makes me disinclined to buy it. It's not a strict disqualification, but it's definitely a negative to me. I really dislike when companies even suggest I install their apps, and prefer to do business with companies that don't do that. The best sort of company is one that doesn't even know what an app is.
Just get a reserve currency then.
