Reality has 2 components.

1. The physical part. Sight, sound, etc.

2. The ideas.

Some kinds of reality are beautiful and meaningful all by itself. Flowers, healthy people, healthy animals, forests, natural landscapes, clouds, stuff like that.

Some kinds of reality are beautiful and meaningful only when you consider the ideas associated with them. Cars, streets, books, powerlines, stacks of money, feces, etc. And without the ideas they are quite ugly and nihilistic.

These AI pictures here are that second variety.

It makes you think. Or something.
The "don't be evil" company promoted a bully to VP in AI ethics. I wonder how much time we have left until cybernazi arrive.
Through my employer, I have access to practically all papers I need to download. But doing so is much more inconvenient than using sci-hub than I still prefer the latter.

And of course, don't get me started in the usual ramble about us writing papers, typesetting papers, refereeing papers, etc. etc. for free while Elsev** and friends get $bns every year.
I would probably handle the situation like an adult. By quitting. People dealing with the consequences of their actions are a fact of life.

I want my place of work to be a safe pace and I'm not ashamed to admit it. If I want to confront somebody's tamper tantrum I'd... do exactly what I'm doing right now, really.
what do you see that are like private podcasts? intriguing phrase.
If you're not using full disk encryption, you're going to be vulnerable to physical attacks no matter what. It does mean the attacker will need 30 more minutes with your phone though.

Just set up encryption. Once it works, it works, so it's worth it.

The complaints in the article sound ridiculous. He wrote "the F* word" in an email? He fired people? He sometimes got angry?

Maybe he just is a human being. People seem to feel entitled to godlike father figures as bosses now, who pamper them all the way in their comfy 9 to 5 jobs?

Not saying you should scream at your employees, but humans can get angry and in general are not perfect. If it is too much for you, quit.

I wonder how far Steve Jobs would have come if he only stared out today? I've heard he also made people cry.
All you've done is expose your paranoia with this (and the other down thread) comment. I'm not affiliated with the vast conspiracy you've concocted in your head.

I'll tell you what though: I see people who think they can throw their clout around (DevOps Engineer from Denmark, hi) every day in my line of work. I make a habit of telling them they better act like adults if they hope to cut it.

Look through my comments history and you'll see I don't take kindly to people like Moxie, like you, thinking you get to push people around because you think you're better. That time is over. You can lord over your tiny fiefdom all you want but the rest of the industry is done taking it.

The future is human cooperation and dignity, not this paranoid, egoic trip you're wrapped up tight in.

I suggest you work together with the broader community and don't fall into useless, divisive attacks on people engaged in the shared enterprise of a more-secure, more-private OS.
I think if you push DRY and SOLID as far as you can, it ends up in today's version of web.

But chips and power-plants are harder to create then just copying software.
I can call someone using a phone, tell him "bring two pair of blue trousers and one shirt, and don't forget the bullets for the trousers", and noone will ever blame the phone company for me arranging some illegal deal/stuff. I can sell drugs in the McDonalds parking lot, and noone will blame McDonalds for it. I can take a cab to future crime scene, and noone blames the taxi... or a bus.. or a plane. I can use many of the ISPs to educate myself how to get rid of a body or make a bomb or whatever, and noone blames Verizon. I can buy a polariod to make illegal photos, or canon or nikon or whatever, and noone blames them. I can operate an illegal business from a hotel room, and noone blames the hotel. I can even send an encrypted printed out message, and noone blames the post office. I can pimp out prostitutes on ikea beds, and noone blames ikea.

This is just another case of governments wanting to snoop on their people, and companies letting them,.... and for good PR they just pack it around child abuse and terrorism.
The most famous exploits in Apple's PDF stack (notably not present in Adobe's renderers) came from bugs in freetype (a software font rendering stack also used by a lot of Linux systems), specifically in the VM (seriously: it is an interpreter for a stack machine) used to run the embedded bytecode truetype fonts use to "hint" their fit to the pixel grid.
They have to be taken from odd angles. Otherwise, they'd match the data sets used to train object recognizers.

This is a losing race with neural nets. CAPTCHAs are running into the same problem that Yosemite park rangers report with "bear proof" trash cans and storage lockers: "There is considerable overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists."
I don't understand why they need it when they've already accepted and verified a login request, just need captcha to finish it off? (i.e. you don't get the captcha with bad creds)

I mean, maybe I can see/accept an argument for that. But when I have a recent order? When I'm logging in from the link you just emailed me?
I get these pretty often on Firefox Focus (Android), not because of any unusual searches (as far as I can tell)! It did at least push me to switch the default search to DDG.

Basically they train you to mix short term exponential gains, with long term focus.

You know what’s even better? Go to http://passwordsgenerator.net/, generate as many N-digit passwords as you want and store them in a password manager that’s reasonably sane (that way you can use a very large N). Google, Apple or Microsoft are going to be good ones because they already control your operating system and browser. There’s also a few other popular ones that may offer slightly more features/better organization if that’s important. Also turn on real 2fa (app or even better a U2F key).

No, this won’t really protect you from a very determined attacker. Then again, neither will using a password of three random words. The endless debates about the best password policy are counterproductive. At the point it matters, you haven’t designed your security robustly enough.
Several people mentioned ways you can trigger it using 'nonstandard' (by Google's expectation) methods. In my case I hit it with just regular Chrome whenever I start doing a few searches that use more than basic keywords (so stuff that uses the prefixes like filetype: or parenthesis for logic)
Have you looked into Quest protein bars? Lots of protein and no sugar.
IIRC the light coming from in front of you gets blue shifted, each photon increasing in energy, and the count increases because of the geometric changes you see in the video (the angles in front seem to shrink).

Light from the rear red shifts (each photon has less energy), and there are fewer as some of the (formerly incident) photons "rotated" to the front.

Mate yoga is the original spiritual practice from India. It was created as a tool to explore and deepen spirituality.
Reducing it to "just some stretches" is a western invention. Which is fine! But chakras and all that "hippie woo" is much closer to "true yoga" than the sanitised version you're talking about.
Does anyone know how it is done today, like with Micro Mages?

Since you can’t travel faster than light in continuous space time there is no way to answer this. At the speed of light relativistic distortions lead to a singularity, so bye bye spacetime.

The one even faint possibility we know of, the Alcubier effect, puts you in a bubble of space time and warps that so it propagates at FTL speeds, but within that space time bubble you are stationary. You wouldn’t see anything outside the bubble though as it’s beyond an extreme distortion of space time that light cannot penetrate.
Well, I write software. If you randomly ask me to write a brief history of Japanese factories, I’m going to be like wtf. You’re going to have to explain yourself.

At my old company it was a bit of a joke, you would repeatedly see shit managers become "architect"s. Management were too cowardly to get rid of bad managers, so they were forced to promote them to get them out of their role. So managers who were shit technically constantly ended up with senior technical titles - and everyone knew why.
Except it didn't because Tesla reimbursed them with no fuss.

This is disingenuous, since up to this point these databases weren't used in systems residing on end user devices, scanning their local files.

The disadvantages aren't merely "theoretical"; they just haven't materialized yet since the future does not yet exist. To ignore these obvious faults by hand-waving them as theoretical is to blatantly ignore valid concerns raised by thousands of informed citizens.

No system is perfect, but that doesn't mean there aren't some systems that simply go too far.
The question likely makes no sense, you can't travel at N-times the speed of light for N >= 1. If we're wrong and you can, we probably have no idea what it'd look like.

You could kind of guess by trying to extend our models out to those speeds, but I think you're going to just find random guesses and formulas that no longer make any sense because you've exceeded the range of values they're defined over.

I'd say it's because the North America, car-dominated, strip-mall-and-stroad landscape is depressing as hell. Open a map and drop yourself somewhere in Europe. I just did, and I feel like identifying crosswalks in a photo like this wouldn't be depressing at all:

In elite schools [edit: that are as elite as] Oxford, the drop out rate would be close to Oxford's. The US numbers are pretty skewed by the massive drop out rate in 2-year community colleges, which both admit huge numbers of people and have very high dropout rates. Also, a huge percentage of dropouts are in the first year, when people are deciding that college may not work for them or be the right fit.
It’s not just that — google wants its own models to be resilient in the face of noisy data. (You’ve probably see examples where a cat is classified as a mountain or something ridiculous due to the addition of precisely crafted noise.) The best way to achieve that resilience is to simply train the models with noisy data; part of the learning process will then be learning to ignore the noise.
That's super interesting, enjoyed reading it.

I am pondering of getting a good future-proof server Soon™ but I have my doubts about how cheap (or awfully expensive) this is going to be so I will likely settle for a refurbished Xeon E5 workstation (since I'd like less noise and the ability to cram it full of HDDs/SSDs).

I wonder if the coming of this new-age SSDs will herald a price drop in the classic 2.5" SSDs? I don't believe so because they will be viable for a long time in the future still but I am curious to hear other people's perspective?

What do you guys and girls think?
Then subordinates must show their dominance not doing useless work. I've been in meetings in which I'm the one screaming to my boss in the face. When another boss tried to make me look bad with our superiors, I showed them their ineptitude and bully behavior. A few times had to quit a job due to the toxic environment, but always got more interesting and rewarding jobs. Never felt guilty about crushing a bully.
That second anecdote is absurd in its ridiculousness. What a crazy person that guy must have been!
Probably some sort of Chinese style loan program. You better build those solar and wind farms on loan in yuan or USD (supplied by the Chinese) or we are going to sanction your ass.

Honestly for me the idea of adopting a single countries' currency as the currency used for world trade doesn't make any sense. At some point your country won't have a significant share of world GDP to have influence over the rest of the world economy.

If you are going to adopt a global "currency" you would go for the bancor but I personally don't think there is going to be one global currency. There'll be one for each continent and it's the EU that is going to adopt an EU bancor as the first economic block because the euro is dysfunctional and cannot be maintained as it is.
Toxic work environments are just a breeding ground for lawsuits and expose anyways

Yes, article 51 that you quoted more or less makes any other article completely irrelevant. That's the whole point. In western countries there really isn't an equivalent to Article 51 in any meaningful sense. China's government is an oppressive dictatorship by design. It makes a big difference.

I did read what you wrote, I meant to reply to the commenter below. As for your point, clearly the higher ups at Google disagree.
Seems like CAPTCHAs shown to users outside the UA should show local road images because locals know best how to identify objects on their roads. Perhaps Google is prioritizing the autonomous vehicle market in the US for now.
Tbh anyone nosy. Every time I visit my parents back home, I realize how exasperatingly nosy they are. They can't stick to minding their own business, and honestly it's something that they picked up with age - I guess to be a part of the general "community". And the amount of mental gymnastics they perform to analyze trivial mind-numbing stuff....

I guess it's something that's as ingrained in the Indian psyche as turmeric is in Indian cuisine.
> Being asked by a machine to prove that you are human is sometimes really humiliating

In a quite a few instances, I find it flattering, because it implies "we haven't sucked enough data on you already to know if you are a human, so we need to be sure."
No empowement. Mistakes could lead to too much bad PR, court cases, or fines. It also means that if anything bad happens, they can fire the employee that didn't follow corporate's rules and claim it was a mistake by the employee and totally not the company's fault.
Well, the pictures all seem to be pretty obviously taken from Street View, which explains the weird angles.

I was surprised there was no mention of the palette or the quality of the photos: they're all pretty washed out and gray, fuzzy with no sharp edges, and at a low resolution, like they were taken by a decade-old smartphone.
Im a big fan of your work, Mr Might! I'm just an MD with a hobby interest in logic programming, but FWIW I think that you guys have really captured how to use current medical information, a thing that the statistical approach still cannot achieve.

Congratulations to you and your team!!
Yep. Spoke with someone who worked on the Moderna vaccine about this.

The short of it is, the window in which the virus can / has an opportunity to mutate is shortened by the vaccine. Thus, vaccinated individuals may be host to mutations if they catch COVID but given fewer “dice rolls” - if you want to call it that - would be similarly less likely to create an especially worse mutation.

Couple that with the reduction of spread given by vaccines, and the difference is staggering.

This paper is being wildly misinterpreted and cherry-picked by people who aren’t involved in the science, or qualified to consume it.
I have an English locale and it's in English for me.
Becoming a VP can certainly be a promotion, but depending on the corporation being a VP is just a nice high-level title to give to someone too valuable to fire while you put them outside of the main structure. So, it's a promotion in title but a demotion in duties/authority so it doesn't feel bad to the person.
I am still pondering buying a 10GbE Mikrotik switch. There are 1 or 2 models without a fan -- or such that ServeTheHome says don't make a lot of noise but I'd still be super hesistant to use those -- and I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Do you have any experience with them? Any pros and cons?
"In these patients, that gene is sort of running at 50% capacity: One copy’s broken, the other copy’s working,” explained Might. “So the tool, when it sees that, says, ‘OK, well, maybe I can make the functioning copy work twice as hard to compensate.’”

Woo! Biohacking at its best.

In the grand scheme of things, the academia complex is funded by taxpayers to produce academic work. It used to be that journals would at least do good editorial work, help with editing, formatting, and perhaps even graphics. All of this work is now on the author, so the question increasingly becomes, why does a taxpayer not only pay for the lab to produce research, but also the $3,000 to 5,000 or more fee to have something published, depending on the journal. Furthermore, once the research was paid for by the taxpayer, the scientist's time wasted to format the research, and the journal paid for the privilege to publish the paper- these institutions have to pay once again for access to these papers once published. In a way, journals in the 21st century are double or triple dipping on citizens, all so we can share our work.
> But for those for whom it's more than merely recreational (e.g.: medicinal use), I wish they'd sell a tax-free version.

(I'm not Dutch but) Are you sure they don't? Obviously not claim tax back having bought on the street corner, but if it's medicinal as in actually prescribed, not just 'self-medicating', then surely it's tax free just like I assume anything else would be?

> Most drugs have side effects, including all the legal pharmaceuticals. E.g. normal antidepressants aren't without risk.

Risk/no-risk dichotomy is misleading in that those categories do not consist of homogeneously comparable members. Nausea from an SSRI is not the same as triggering a first psychotic episode from psychedelic drug use, or pushing your neuroticism a standard deviation higher from stimulant abuse or getting stuck in opioid addiction.
Yes for me it is. I exclusively use a non chromium based browser with some extensions installed and always logged off Google.
Knowing nothing about miniKanren, I'm curious if you feel its essence much better expressed in a LISP than an Algol-like language like Python? And will relational reasoning increasingly require people to return to LISP as an AI language?

Another question - would it be possible to visualize the exact chain of reasoning used by mediKanren to link ketamine to this disease? It would be wonderful to see exactly what the tool brought to the table that human researchers missed.

> Apparently McMurdo Station needs 7000 tons of assorted supplies each year. Assuming Moon Base runs on a similar scale, that's an initial annual budget of $7bn just for the shipping.

This would never be a real scenario. McMurdo supply runs are not designed for such high transportation costs. With such transportation cost expectations you'd be pressed to lower the mass of the supplies in the first place so that the sum of the cost of preparing the supplies and the cost of transferring them were minimized. You need to compare two Pareto optima completely, not just one axis of them.
But if employers don't pay for it (and I expect nonpaying will be the norm), they're now negotiating with very price-sensitive individual employees.
I look at the waste we have produced as a society and I immediately think back to a monologue in Westworld by one of the antagonists:

“I think humanity is a thin layer of bacteria on a ball of mud hurtling through the void. I think if there was a God, he would’ve given up on us long ago. He gave us a paradise and we used everything up. We dug up every ounce of energy and burned it. We consume and excrete, use and destroy. Then we sit here on a neat little pile of ashes, having squeezed anything of value out of this planet, and we ask ourselves, “Why are we here?” You want to know what I think your purpose is? It’s obvious. You’re here along with the rest of us to speed the entropic death of this planet. To service the chaos. We’re maggots eating a corpse”

I don’t want to think of humanity as parasites on Earth, but we truly need to do better.

This is making me wonder if the experience is intentionally so bleak.

It reminds me of how nowadays when I do an incognito Google search on my phone, I need three taps just to accept the terms of service. Same with YouTube. Maybe this level of cumbersomeness is somehow legally required now, but I find it more likely that this is an attempt to subconsciously encourage people to not browse incognito—so that they can be tracked.

My understanding is that being logged in in your Google account often allows you to bypass captchas. If captchas are a miserable experience, this would have a similar effect of subconsciously discouraging incognito browsing.
Mikrotik have 2-3 great 10GbE switches in the $250-$400 range, if memory serves.
