um...no on the USB flash drives.

These days, hackers stays in a computer system for 5 or 6 months before making their move. So they can destroy your backups and put their virus on USB flash drives, and you won't know until that day comes. So if you re-use your USB flash drives, they can be bricked.

However, if you get a brand new USB drive for every backup, then that would probably work. Are do you purchase 365 USB flash drives per year (or however many backups you do per year)? But then, you will have to buy a new computer because if you try to use that backup on the old computer that is hijacked, that backup is compromised as well.
I wonder if those down-voting have any comments, or simply think corporate medical greed is really good.
>If Google is being forced to search their users private data for fear of losing government contracts then they've purjured themselves in court by claiming otherwise.

Doesn't need to be fear. Doesn't even need anybody to insinuate something threatening.

The conflict of interest is enough, to willingly do anything you're asked and play the good boy out of greed - to keep/get more contracts.

This makes me think of The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris. Like with that, I'm torn between thinking it's a neat idea and thinking it's a cliche.
The reason you wouldn't want to use ML for program transformations is that compiler analyses like constant folding are essentially fast, specialized theorem provers. When you need to know if an optimization is safe or not (is this expression equivalent to that one?), you want an exact solution, not just a pretty good guess, and there are known techniques that can give you just that.

However, you can use ML in areas where compilers use heuristics. For example, how many times should you unroll this loop, or should you inline function B into function A? Your program is going to be valid with or without inlining/unrolling, and the compiler needs an "intuition" of what's going to be best for performance. Right now, in most cases, this uses simple hardcoded rules.

The same goes for math. You wouldn't ask a neural network to certify whether a mathematical proof is valid or not, knowing it has been 99% accurate on the test set. You couldn't trust it to verify all the steps. However, you could use a neural network to help you guide a formal theorem prover in searching for a proof, as in which branches of the infinite tree of mathematical expressions should you search.

Yes, of course. Indeed I consider parenting and friendships better metrics of success than career.

In terms of a snap business decision, the hypothetical fifty-five year old doctor who cannot get anyone to jump off the bridge with them is probably not worth making a bet on. Between friendships and personal relationships, nobody who knows them is willing to make a leap of faith. Or the doctor is unwilling to work with someone else.

If not having a cofounder was not a known problem, things would be different. But it is a known problem. A mature adult who cannot solve it doesn't get as much slack as a kid who can't. The kid is more likely to have extenuating circumstances. The adult not really.
Doesn't anything greater than... was it 6MeV or 12MeV result in radioactive activation of stable isotopes? I think he would have gotten quite a dose initially, but then the activated atoms would have continued to decay, extending the dose.
Thanks for the lesson. This is exactly how your immune system already functions. No need to set yourself up for risks with jabs if you've got a genetic precondition for various diseases related to routine vaccinations. I'm glad we agree.
There is a clever way: if you have to hit the network to make many requests for tiny data, you could batch the many small requests into a few larger requests, and in that response include all data you need for the tiny requests. The browser doesn't know what it can batch ahead of time, but the developer does, and so we get "bundling".

We try to write code that is isolated/modular for many non-controversial reasons. A common strategy is to co-locate related functions/classes/logic in one file and keep this separate from unrelated logic in other files. The more your code does, the more logic to build, the more files you'll have. The same holds for your dependencies. The more they do for you, the more files/modules they need to isolate their logic. Thus micro-dependencies have few files in two cases: 1) they do relatively little and shift responsibility to your code 2) they do a lot but have already combined/compiled their files into 1-2 files for you, often using a bundler.

ESM is an excellent native solution to referencing logic from other files so you can split & isolate your code when you write it. But this is an authoring strategy, and it should not dictate your distribution strategy.
Will the AI be able to ask for clarification? Translators do. In fact, even people speaking the same language need to ask for clarification sometimes. It is literally impossible to discern some sentences without follow up, why would someone think an AI can do it one shot?
Just replace K and JavaScript with German and English to see the vacuity of this argument. Either of several possible representations can become native to one’s thinking. The question is which is a better aid in reaching some non-arbitrary goal. The only merit of K presented and emphasized here was the supposed brevity of its programs. Personally I’ve found the habitable zone somewhere that allows for more air between ideas.
Of course a big part of what the NSA does is manage the scale. To do that they need metadata both collected with the calls (e.g. what numbers the call was from and to, if available who or what that number belonged to at the time) and assembled by analysing the audio ("male speaker", "Russian language", phrases or words maybe phonetically)

After all it's all very well having every phone call, but you can't possibly listen to them all, so you need a way to find those that you do want to listen to.

"Pervasive Monitoring is an Attack" is current policy of the IETF and accordingly new protocols are intended to combat such monitoring, but there is a lot of metadata revealed by your activities and masking it takes considerable effort, while outfits like the NSA are very enthusiastic about gathering whatever metadata they can find and discovering new ways to collect more.

Orbital manuevers are kinda counter-intuitive in that you when you want to get closer/farther from whatever you're orbiting you actually want to change the speed at which you're orbiting. So in the case of solar sails, you would tack in a retrograde direction.
Dextrose. You can't buy it in grocery stores, but it is available online. Don't pay more than $2/lb. It is sold most cheaply labeled "corn sugar", marketed mainly to home beer brewers. There is only one actual supplier in the US, who ships 50 lb bags. Others break it up and sell 10, 5, and 2 lb bags. Some relabel it "dextrose" or "glucose" and jack up the price. I get mine 10 lb at a time from "Homebrew".

Regular sugar (sucrose, fructose) is poison without accompanying fiber, and is the cause of the US's (and India's and Pakistan's) epidemic level of "metabolic syndrome", liver disease that, indirectly, kills way more than COVID. Your liver can neutralize small amounts, as it does alcohol, but Americans take in way more than it can process. When your liver is impaired, you die from things a healthy liver would have prevented. (Really, nowadays people who don't drink are dying from cirrhosis!)

So, you can use dextrose anywhere you would have used table sugar. It has the extra advantage over table sugar (besides not being poison) that it does not make you more hungry after you eat it. Note, it is on you to ensure there is fiber in whatever you take in at the same time; without fiber it (like table sugar) causes insulin excursions you are much better off without. Coffee and cocoa have surprisingly large amounts of fiber.

For more about metabolic disease, the best place to start is youtube vids of presentations by Robert Lustig, a respected endocrinologist specializing in liver disease. He has several books out, most recently "Metabolical", that you probably can get from your local library.
Having worked in games, my pet peeve is the cottage-industry of amateur game engines and Youtube game-engine series that are pretty much just that: wrappers around OpenGL, SDL, Entt, Imgui and a multitude of other libraries.

Most of those never really produce a game, since the authors know how to wrap the libraries, but the engines don't have enough substance to help making a real game.

A notable exception however is Casey Muratori (of Handmade Hero), who actually skipped the wrapping and went for a more direct code. Interestingly he has a nice inversion of control architecture.

> being able to trust that your device is truly yours

Yeah, this is essentially impossible today. Even personal computers have processors with potentially malicious firmware. In order to get a trustworthy processor to run free software on, we need to limit ourselves to hardware from decades ago.

It's gotten to the point I don't we can trust any computer we haven't fabricated ourselves. Anyone can download a compiler and make their own software but hardware requires billions of dollars worth of equipment and personnel. Software freedom is doomed unless we somehow develop a way to fabricate chips at home.
Why wouldn't an AI be able to ask for clarification in a live setting? I don't see your point.
> You can buy an Android phone with better specs for 200$
> For a computer you can buy for the same money that you spend for a MacBook Air a computer with better specs and hardware that you can upgrade

If you compare two phones at 200$, sure. But it is not possible to buy a phone with a better CPU than the 500$ iPhone SE 2. Impossible, no CPU can beat it. So no Android phone has better specs.

For a laptop, if the case is considered a spec like it should, then you have a much clearer picture. Apple has perfected its aluminium processes to provide a rigid and shock-resistant casing, and inevitably when people provide legitimate examples of PC laptops to buy, they never mention that the laptop you'll get will have a shitty plastic case with a heavy steel frame. The worst of both worlds, and many friends have come to me saying they need to change their laptop when theirs is fairly recent. The culprit? their case broke or the display hinge did.

Yeah, dogs are pack animals.

If the owner has to leave every day ,they should be bringing their dogs to doggy day care or have another dog to keep it company.

I personally view leaving a dog alone all day as abuse.
Do you mind sharing what sample daily/monthly bandwidth during discovery looks like?
Sure, different devices can be used they share the same key as stated in the document.

But it’s still not clear how that key is derived. It’s not clear, as implemented that Apple do not hold a master key to decrypt all data (as they do currently).

In fact, if the key is randomly generated, if you have one device (as many users do) and you lose that device. Do you lose all your data? Even if you have your iCloud password?

It doesn’t make sense. It would be a massive change to how iCloud currently operates and is used. And I find this extremely unlikely.

Right now, you can browse your photos online. That functionality is going away?

There are seemingly many open questions. But given that there’s no clear statement from Apple, I’m inclined to believe that they retain the ability to decrypt all data.
More like going on the rides, but not paying for the Fast Pass. Taking the Fast Pass is like paying for Apple services. I took the shitty Fast Pass for Apple Music and iCloud Drive, but I'm not paying for bloody Ted Lasso!

No, I think your definition of politics is too restricted. There's no need to support opposition of any politician to be political. If it were, anarchists wouldn't be classified as political, which is absurd.
Most revolutions involve some violence, yes. Would you prefer that people permanently submit to tyranny? In the American Revolution our founding fathers were certainly glad to receive arms from their foreign allies in order to fight the British.

It is bad. When 80% of your hospitalizations (serious conditions) have gotten two jabs of the mRNA vaccine. Hospitalizations in my state are only increasing, and its not the un-vaccinated, it's those that believe being vaccinated means you no longer hold any risk with relation to spreading the virus.

The blood clots from AstraZeneca have not been thoroughly investigated - we don't know the pathways involved. By the way, the mRNA vaccines are producing many more blood clot calls into triage lines and offices than AZ (prolly because of slow rollout here).

I feel like MAD comparison is interesting, but not accurate. The whole point of MAD is that there is nothing left afterwards. That is not what I see happening. For example a lot of terrible things that country leaders did hit the news and ... nothing happened for the most part.

If we are doing analogies, allow me to compare modern digital world to a feudal age. The companies wage war to capture land, prestige, and peasants^w users. Users are then exploited for their data so the companies can sell it and use the monies to wage advertisement wars to capture more users... Alas, the analogy is not perfect for it does not account for hackers stealing the data or peasants revolting and overthrowing the kingdom.

I'm surprised people have such trouble with this.
Sure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTyFi4GEv-Q - this one is interesting cause they are talking with the same woman and Dmitry Shakuta(former or present MMA fighter I suppose) who's related to Roman Bondarenko's murder(exact evidence is hard to acquire as Belarus is judicial grey zone currently).
As another commenter writes below they are agreeing to be in contact directly and the commander of militia basically recites his mobile number.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbHVt8-4dE4 - last part is just a confirmation and further details being discussed at a later time. But it's also nastiest one cause woman is using a phrase "We don't need stripes, we need heads". For extra context protesters were marking fences in their districts with stripes with national symbols on them. So the phrase means that we don't care about the symbols, it's just a way to lure protesters out of their homes. Also she's literaly using word hunting and jokes that protesters are in red list like animals. Such attitude shows her cruel and inhuman personality in its best.
There's a very important difference, though: humans can and often do qualify their interpretation.

One major flaw of current PAC-based models is the inability to express certainty and being able to present the rationale behind their (lack of) confidence.

One crucial aspect of human language processing is the ability to question or interrogate oneself to adjust one's interpretation. During a dialog this can be done by actively asking for more context or confirmation.

So unlike current ML models, humans know that their interpretation/models might be wrong and can actively seek confirmation or correction.

A trivial example would be asking a digital assistant "What's the capital of Georgia?"
There are two possible answers and there's no way of knowing what the "correct" one is without further context. So a human would likely either ask whether you mean the country of Georgia or the US state, or qualify their answer ("the capital of the country/the state capital is Tbilisi/Atlanta").

This is what GPT-J-6B returns:

Q: What's the capital of Georgia?
A: Atlanta

When given just the prompt "What's the capital of Georgia", GPT-J-6B also returns Atlanta and generates further text about the US state and its capital.

And it's not as if the model doesn't "know":

Q: What is Tbilisi?
A: Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia.

It's even more interesting when logic is involved:

Q: If Albert is a pig and all pigs are blue, what colour is Albert?
A: Albert is a blue pig.

I only asked for the colour, but close enough. Can GPT deal with ambiguity?

Q: If Albert is a pig and all pigs are blue, is Albert happy?
A: No.

Awesome! How about some common sense then:

Q: If Alice is a dog and Bob just finished high school, can they have kids together?
A: Yes, but they will have to get married first.

So yeah, GPT obviously has no actual language understanding. Bob having finished high school implies that he's a young human man while Alice is a dog. Humans and dogs can't have kids together.

But if the model doesn't understand language, why did it do so well on the logic test? In order to find out, I just asked :)

Q: If Albert is a pig and all pigs are blue, why is Albert not happy?
A: Because he is a pig.

Hm. So are all pigs unhappy then? Let's take them out of the equation and ask again:

Q: If Albert is blue, is Albert unhappy?
A: No, Albert is not unhappy.

Bingo! So the model only appeared to know the subtlety of "blue" having multiple meanings. It's as dumb as a rock and simply tried to match the tokens "is blue" against "is unhappy". Replacing "blue" with "pig" confirms this:

Q: If Albert is a pig, is Albert unhappy?
A: No, Albert is not unhappy. Albert is a pig.

Dad humour. Well, either that or just a dumb model capable of fooling us humans because we tend to interpret more intelligence into its replies than is actually there...

In the hypothetical hydrogen powered future, cargo Zeppelins could pull double-duty as a hydrogen tanker.

Rust or Go would work. Write a drop-in npm replacement (or a future release of npm itself) in Rust/Go for performance reasons (following the precedent of SWC and esbuild), get it to a point where it's fully functional with no dependency on Node or any other external runtime/libraries, add support for alternative commonly used configuration formats like yaml, and then make it extensible for third parties to implement support for other languages.
Also confidence of calm weather until it reaches the next field, no? I'm not sure how strict a constraint that'll be.

Better transportation would also help.

When this comes up I always recommend this lecture by Stephen Pyne at the Long Now Foundation a few years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zP7MD2y7T8

He goes into the very interesting history of fire in the Western U.S. and California and how the Native Americans used fire to transform the landscape over centuries. When Europeans took over, they did not understand these practices or the reasons for them. It was as if they had acquired a complex machine that required regular maintenance, but had no instruction manual to perform it.

Instead, they imported European (specifically German) fire/forest management practices, which do not work in the Western U.S. In Europe, when a tree falls, moisture allows the tree to rot and release its energy slowly. This makes suppression a long-term viable strategy. In much of the Western U.S. though, when a tree falls, it just sits there until it burns. Here, the suppression strategy is just putting off an inevitable release of energy, and every year the amount of energy increases.

The real tragedy in this is that this situation is leading to the loss of trees that are over a thousand years old, that could survive countless smaller fires, but not one enormous one.
