modAL indeed has a similar goal of choosing the best subset of data to be labeled. However it has some notable differences:

It is built on scikit-learn which is also evident from the suggested workflow. Lightly on the other hand was specifically built for deep learning applications supporting active learning for classification but also object detection and semantic segmentation.

modAL provides uncertainty-based active learning. However, it has been shown that uncertainty-based AL fails at batch-wise AL for vision datasets and CNNs, see https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.00489. Furthermore it only works with an initially trained model and thus labeled dataset. Lightly offers self-supervised learning to learn high dimensional embeddings through its open-source package https://github.com/lightly-ai/lightly. They can be used through our API to choose a diverse subset. Optionally, this sampling can be combined with uncertainty-based AL.

Another type of movement which is fun is the tuning fork movement: https://www.watchonista.com/articles/bulova-accutron-tuning-...

For those of you of a patriotic persuasion, its a US invention, something they did better than the swiss.

I like them (even though I'm not american) because they are good looking movements, and have some hilariously tight engineering tolerances

They also used to power planes and satellites before cheap low power robust quartz and eventually atomic clocks.
Every hard science uses statistics, a formal branch of pure maths, in order to justify why its models are decent at predicting real-world phenomena. The proofs usually flow backwards from how you're imagining; statisticians create new proofs which put constraints on modeling, and those constraints are used to rule out bogus scientific results.
In what way? I'm interested to know more about this.
The Prius Prime is the PHEV version, which is more expensive than the standard Prius. It has the same gas engine and nearly the same gasoline range as the standard Prius (it gets slightly lower MPG due to the increased weight). You're obviously not going to get far on battery power alone, that is about 25 miles. The intention was to be able to cover a typical commute to work, and then be able to charge a work.

Just read a little bit on the 330e. It doesn't get nearly as good gas mileage as a Prius, but is obviously a much peppier car.

Though if I was spending that much money, I'd try to get a Rav4 Prime, which is nearly as quick (5.7 seconds for 0-60 mph), 600 mile range, and all wheel drive. But that's a personal preference, I'm not in the market for a sports sedan.

The functionality to detect CSAM uploaded to Apple’s servers or sent to pre-teens?

> And it basically means we sell out our democratic principles

What democratic principle is being sold out?
Yeah, it could be a case of syncretism: Pythagoras' school was perhaps a meeting of minds that took a bunch of disparate ideas/concepts from all over the world and finally nailed them down into more concrete shapes and merged similar but equivalent concepts into grander shared abstractions. Then things like "Pythagoras's school found" and "Pythagoreans believed" accidentally over the years get rubbed off to read "Pythagoras found" and "Pythagoras believed" in a "great man fallacy/conflation" between the school of thought and the nominal figurehead.

My understanding is that is possibly an incredibly common view on Greek history. For instance, I've heard that a lot of things attributed directly to Plato today seem better attributed to platonists in general and the wild maelstrom of activity in the forums.

Getting maybe further aside and into the weeds: Pythagoreanism was even a multiple-times revived religion in Greek culture, so that would give further reason to attribute things to Pythagoras as "religious texts" things from other scholars or things from later movements (such as neopythagoreanism, which I found in one rabbit hole deep dive has a lot of interesting but unproven ties to early Christian doctrine). (Similar to how so much scholarly work in Asian history got attributed to "The Buddha" before eventually some of them started attributing things maybe more accurately to just "a buddha".)
I thought the video below provided a good explanation for why this works. The physics are similar to those of a single sailboat going faster than the wind.

Imagine two sailboats on a cylindrical ocean on diagonal tacks, on opposite poles, and rotating around the core with rods connecting them to the core. Now you have a propeller. :)

Here in America we get sued regardless, its called the bill. Many many many people are effectively uncovered from covid bills regardless of their insurance. My daughters 7k bill from early 2020 says so (less than 1 day of treatment!! No outpatient or take home drugs!!). Now I can't say for sure whether she had covid but she received exactly the emergency treatment I've come to see is used in covid ICU, so the bills ought to be the same.

I guess that service slightly goes out of the scope for active scanning, because it is for general backup, not a cloud especially for photo sharing and storing.
If the pandemic is anything to go by, the collective action will harm the common people (especially the poor) while the elites get to play by entirely separate rules! While there's no doubt that sacrifices in quality of life are going to have to be made I think it's very important that the elites are seen to suffer as much as the common man otherwise the inevitable result will be increasingly ungovernable countries.
This addresses none of the concerns. "We have designed processes" means absolutely nothing since the code is entirely capable of scanning any file on your phone and sending matches up through their existing infrastructure.

This feature must not exist on the customers' device at all. Continue running it in iCloud like you (and others) have been doing but leave our devices free of backdoors.
Unlikely. But many centuries of war may have affected the gene pool negatively, selecting for males unfit for combat.
This seems pretty terrible IMO.

Hypothetically let’s say everyone was using this already. Then something like Covid or another “worldwide bad event” occurs.

So people spend their money, which in this case means they’re liquidating their investments. This further drives down the price and increases volatility - in other words the people who need the money most in the most desperate times will lose the most as they will need to spend the largest percentage of their holdings.

To add insult to injury if enough liquidated then you could be in the bank run territory since there’s no FDIC insurance you could lose everything.

> But I can't help but comment that you're abusing statistics here.

Actually, that was kind of the point. For problems dealing with scarce resources that are shared planet wide (such as the atmosphere or oceans) any fair system to determine how those resources are allocated needs to take into account population, but enforcement of any such allocation has to be done by country. The atmosphere doesn't care about our arbitrary political boundaries, but for enforcement they matter.

Too many people make the mistake of thinking that both enforcement and allocation should be by country.

> Smaller population countries like Canada and Australia pollute more per capita than the US.

Australia does indeed emit more per capita than the US, about 4% more. Canada emits about 4% less. The only countries ahead of the US per capita besides Australia are Qatar, Trinidad and Tobago, Kuwait, Brunei, Bahrain, UAE, New Caledonia, the Dutch part of Sint Maarten, Saudi Arabia, and Kazakhstan.

South Korea is about 25% less. Taiwan and Russia are about 30% less than the US per capita. Germany and Japan are about 40% less. The UK and France are about 65% less. Mexico around 72% less. (China is about 55% less).

> Also, the carbon tariff should ideally be applied on an activity-specific basis, not at the national level.

Correct. The way this would probably best be handled if we had a world government would be a revenue neutral carbon tax on everything. But we don't, so we have to cobble together something else.
Right, I see my comment before was a bit confusing. I'll rephrase.

For a software dev (especially those with a few years of experience), work tends to be easy to come by. We pick up our laptop, tether to our mobile phone, whack out a few CVs and offers come flooding in. If you're unattached (single, no dependents) you can work from wherever you like - you write some code, push it to Git, and deploy to a server.

But most people's jobs and lives don't look like that. They are rooted by partners, children or elderly relatives. By jobs that require you to be there in physical form. By personalities that struggle with an immense amount of change. By pay structures and pensions that reward longevity.

To your last point, about how it remote working will have a negative effect on blue collar workers:

1. If remote-working is a human right, then it must be granted to ALL workers - regardless of the shade of their collar. I'm extremely sceptical that work requiring a physical presence will see a huge boost in wages. Thus, it risks merely be a perk offered to those already well compensated.

2. Since remote-working tends to benefit who already have large houses, fast internet, good technology, and good networks, it entrenches their position. If you currently earn minimum wage serving burgers in McDonalds, and can't afford a good laptop and internet connection, you will find it hard to even get on the ladder where remote-working is a norm. Thus it will most likely reduce social mobility.
Touché. I wanted to understand the perspective and show a different one, though, not correct or debate his point. There are other uses which I could have presented to counter that point: sports, rehabilitation, recreation. However, I find that this would deviate from my point of trying to show the diversity of gun owners and the many uses of defensive gun use.

Some stats on defensive gun use: https://datavisualizations.heritage.org/firearms/defensive-g...

I do understand that different people from different upbringings, as well as different parts of the world, might have a difficult time seeing how a gun can be seen as a good thing. Which I why I'm trying to present different perspectives.

>In case you were asking seriously, infringing on the 2nd Amendment right of US citizens to keep and bear arms. The amendment specifically uses the word, ie "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

IANACS, but to me the 2nd Amendment doesn't objectively imply the right to keep and bear all possible arms, rather it prevents the infringement of the right to bear any arms. You don't need an AK-47 to defend your home from burglars.

>Not to delve into politics, but IMO it's easier to "apply violence" without a weapon, or with less complicated weapons.

Tell that to the Las Vegas shooter, or any mass shooter.

There's a reason wars are no longer fought on horseback with melee combat and bows and arrows. The purpose of guns is to force-multiply the capacity of violence (both in power and in range) beyond what an unarmed body can commit. Yes, it's technically easier to apply the violence of a closed fist or a knife but that violence is also more contained and easier to control.
Well, guess you want both eternal exponential growth for everybody, as well as a healthy planet to live on, but without any sort of compromise whatsoever.

Yes, clearly. But it could be used in places where you want performance guarantees. Like, a client sends a custom sort function to a server to build responses, wide-open WA would not be appropriate for this but maybe a guaranteed acyclic control flow could work. Etc.

I may be wrong, but this is how I understand it. The propellers push against the wind. Effectively you’re creating a faster wind by pushing back at it. The energy that drives the propellers still comes indirectly entirely from the wind, but wind across a larger volume behind the propeller so therefore carrying more energy.
The government, for example, do not currently have the infrastructure to push updates to iPhone

That's the point, this is a slippery slope -- without this system, governments have no way to compel Apple to scan for objectionable photos, Apple could claim, rightly so, that due to encryption technology and privacy, they have no way to do it. But now they've removed both the technological and privacy hurdle, and it's just a matter of logistics.

Now governments know that all they need is a database of banned photos and they can go to Apple and say "In our country, it's illegal to share photos that put our government in a bad light. Here's a database of banned photos. If you don't comply, you can't sell your phones to our 1.4 billion citizens".

I question the claims that they don't understand sarcasm. It might be more that they have trouble understanding certain types of sarcasm.

Japanese culture certainly recognizes the the inflated title mocking style of sarcasm, as well as the excessive politeness form of sarcasm (which is easier in Japanese).

from what I've read, what Japanese doesn't really have as much of is sarcasm for levity ("this is fun" in response to some obviously not-fun situation), or sarcasm that is intended to be interpreted as praise (despite the literal meaning).

I have had a phone that had a Facebook application preinstalled, and prevented removal of said application. Setting up the phone did not require FB credentials.

I would be worried that even without logging into Facebook or giving it my credentials, my FB-ized phone would help FB's efforts in creating and maintaining shadow profiles. As far as I'm concerned, since the FB app is tied into the OS so tightly that it cannot be removed, it poisons the phone and makes it an adversarial surveillance device.

This type of poison, of course, is not limited to Facebook.
I've got a NeXTstation, AKA "pizza box," the black m68k workstation hardware. There's really nothing special about it electrically other than an onboard DSP. It's a pretty standard 68040-based computer. The case though... gorgeous. Hard to imagine recreating that.

Agreed though, the headline is a little odd. I was expecting something akin to that guy who designed and fabbed a new logic board for an SE/30. That would've been a feat, especially since those Motorola processors are so hard to come by now.

As a programmer, I empathize with the impulse to go with the elegant, unified solution of carbon taxes.

The problem is that everybody gets hurt, in at least a short-term sense, by a carbon tax. And yes, a lot of people will understand that this is a necessary pain. But all the worst carbon offenders that might campaign against a climate policy would get hurt by the same thing at the same time, so they would provide a large lobbying voice to weaken or destroy what's hurting them (this example is about carbon taxes, but really any sort of universal punitive measure) as a policy.

Politically, punishments will remain effective for longer if they are targeted so that the opposition to them remains divided. It _might_ help if carbon taxes could be adopted on a per-industry basis, because polluters are nothing if not keen to avoid thinking about anything that they perceive as not their problem- it should be possible to avoid triggering any sort of sense of polluter-solidarity on their part.

Another possibility is offering positive financial incentives to stopping fossil fuel activity. The government could directly give cash to companies that stop pulling coal and oil out of the ground, or stop burning it. Fracking companies in particular should be given a ton of money if they convert to geothermal.

I recently fell into this rabbit hole. I bought a cheap automatic watch - a Seiko 5, for both practical reasons and otherwise (will work after an EMP attack/solar event, but it's also just cool as hell mechanical engineering using 200 year old technology). Then I started putting watch repair youtube videos on in the background as I did chores or wrote code. Then I started actually watching the watch repair videos. Last week, I got a box of books, tools, and expendables. Today, when I get home, I'll have a box of broken pocket watches to tear into and probably irreparably mess up.

When I was a kid, my grandfather and I tore down some old watches as a rainy afternoon activity one day. I was fascinated. It wasn't until I listened to the podcast Shit Town (S-Town) that I thought about horology as a hobby again.

One interesting thing I learned, is that if you're looking for a career change, you can become a certified watch maker for free. Many of the schools are sponsored by the big name watch manufacturers, and tuition is free. It's a full time education, so you'll need enough financial runway to survive for a year or two, but you'll come out with no debt as a certified watch builder/repairperson.

> If the answer is there should be no AML, KYC (edit: know-your-customer rules) and/or reporting by cryptocurrency companies, we have no common ground on this argument.

I still don't understand this. KYC has devolved into something unreasonable and it needs to be removed from the existing system, not extended.

When KYC was originally implemented, your bank was where you deposited your paycheck, paid your mortgage and withdrew some cash every few weeks for your expenses. If your bank knew who you were, they knew where you lived and where you worked. The first is a matter of public record and the second isn't exactly a big secret. Maybe you also had a car loan.

Today it has been extended to everything you buy on the internet or with a credit card, and people now buy everything on the internet and with credit cards. It ties your government identity to the books you read, the medical care you receive, genetic tests, what you eat, the establishments you patronize, your location history if you go anywhere and buy gas or anything else, who else was there at the same time, it's your whole life.
