Nobody is claiming that businesses have a right to exist. Workers need jobs so that they don't end on the street and die. The concern is viable job opportunities disappearing and not being replaced. Businesses closing is an important subject to monitor because nobody wants to live in a failed economy where most of the population is unemployed and starving.
The "punishment" is what here? Only the same amount of gas stations?

As for expense, the total cost of ownership for electric vehicles is often less than equivalent gas vehicles, even if the purchase price is slightly higher.

When a car is paid for by a loan, this lower total cost of ownership is directly realized in the monthly payment. If a person is paying up front with cash on a car, they are making their own value judgement about the time value of money, and can choose to finance whatever portion the prefer in order to realize this lower TCO.
Where did you get this number? It’s a couple of orders of magnitude too low.
I have never, ever heard someone saying they forgot their card in the handfuls of European countries where I have been. I have heard complaints about the ATM "eating" the card (not restituting it; this happens sometimes for various reasons). You'd have to try very hard to do it (like take the card out, because otherwise you won't get any cash, and then sticking it back in, or just leaving without taking either cash or card). This just is not a problem.
It would be great if you were right. But even assuming it's the case, people will have to adjust to the electrical appliances. People in this very community say that they simply cannot learn to cook on an electric stove, or rent a car for the infrequent occasions when they want to travel hundreds of miles, and therefore fossil fuel usage must be continued unabated. Even this level of very small sacrifice is unimaginable. Never mind the kind of more radical change the person you're replying to is talking about.

The mediterranean diet has plenty and it is "western". Maybe you mean the american diet?
It’s not. The hacker community
just never knew or cared about CSAM scanning before Apple did it.
FWIW those blinding LED light bars have ambient light sensors & night time dimming support, but the department has to enable it. If you feel they are as truly blinding, message your department and explain that as a driver they are so blinding you are concerned one day an officer will be hit by a car that could not see them through the glare.
> Google will spin out Waymo and GM will buy it. Mark my words.

I expect this to happen in reverse. Google will buy up some more startups in the space then eventually a traditional car maker.

Looking at [0] and [1], it looks like Canada is ahead on average, but not by much. But also note that software development salaries can be bimodal (or even trimodal) depending on where you are[2]

Net net: it’s just like off-shoring. Call it off-stating (or “off-loading”). When the job moves to a low-cost region without workers who know how to protect their own interests, the job pays less. (“Want more disposable income? Learn German and move.”) Corollary is that the more Google can hire outside Silicon Valley, the more it can save.
Not surprising. From what i hear the Scottish Parliament is an waste of time and money. The SNP need to make a lot of noise in order to justify their existence.
And that's how you end up with kleptocrats
I'd love to integrate some sort of salary scale into my job board [1] - this seems difficult since there's no open data for it. Google on it's jobs network shows something like "this salary lies on the x%"

For this, I'd love if companies shared salary information, or I could parse it from text in a reliable way. Any thoughts?

That's not really correct. That's a forcibly created colliding image, that's not the output of the NeuralHash. Also as reported elsewhere, it's absolutely possible to do so.
> It is fairly trivial to generate invisible noise that makes an input image get an entirely different hash.

What I had in mind when referring to 'basic evasion' was 'cropping or rotating', as per your original comment.

All that being said, I admit that generating adversarial examples for models with known weights is not a difficult task.

Love it. Wish windows would be more open to themes in general.
It sort of sounds like you're confusing two different kinds of errors. Euler vs RK4 is an issue of truncation error. It's called that because when you approximate a derivative with a finite difference, you can see that you've truncated the infinite Taylor series.

Truncation error is present even if there were zero approximation in the elementary floating point operations. I'm not sure how you mean that the difference between floats and doubles shows up with Euler methods especially.

Under no floating point error, you can drive truncation error toward zero by driving the step size toward zero. But the floating point precision sets a floor on how low you can go. Perhaps this is what you meant.
Under the Berne convention all creative works are protected by copyright. And I see no license notice. So it would be a violation of copyright to copy one of these to your own web site. Unless there is some quirk of law that says these aren't creative works because they were generated by algorithm or something like that.

But I bet if you asked permission and explained what it's for you would get an approval.
My pet theory is that Apple won’t produce a car; rather, they’ll produce a car cockpit. A kit of standard, high quality parts, comprising everything a driver touches. So Ford would make a car, Apple would make the screen, steering wheel, mirrors, etc. Might be a trim level or package on existing car models.

Every time I drive an unfamiliar car, I see so much opportunity for an Apple-like company to fix the UX of infotainment and quality feel of volume dials, etc.

This might be the way everyone else can catch up to Tesla’s UX. Yes, Tesla has issues, but their dang touchscreen doesn’t have a half second input delay.
Can you explain your reasoning and or insight for these conclusions? Personally I see Comma.ai as more likely to "never figure it out" than Cruise and others, but I lack special insight.

I'd point out two things:

While the valley definitely skews the high end in America, it employs a fraction of the total developers in the US. There's the other 90% of the country that doesn't live in the valley that works in those very same "corporate development" jobs that are in Europe. You don't think companies like Walmart, State Farm, Allstate, Epic*, Target, Best Buy, UHG, Dell*, IBM* etc. etc. employ boatloads of developers all outside of the bay area? They should similarly bring down the average pay.

It's also unfair to say Europe doesn't have development jobs... heck SAP is the third largest software producer in the world and they're based in Europe. SuSE is still headquartered there. I have no doubt there are plenty of startups there as well.

*for accuracy - Epic, IBM, and Dell are all at least partially software companies but employ a ton of people outside of the bay area
A warrant alone, very likely not. A court order from a judge (slightly different than a warrant), possibly not nut it's not exactly a well tread area of legislation/law. It would probably run afoul of the first amendment given some readings, but it would have to be tested in court and would likely be argued that requiring a backdoor via some law doesn't cause compelled speech or that making that backdoor isn't protected speech etc. It's a relatively new area to be explored.
Isn't Apple seeding their database with fake hits so that a court can't order them to turn over everyone who's just a few shy of Apple's threshold? So when this database leaks, won't there be a lot of people accused of horrific crimes simply because Apple seeded their database with random hits?

Why would people pay a company to falsely accuse them of horrific crimes?

With my phone I won’t accept any more updates, at least the ones I can resist, and I’ll switch to Android when there’s no other option. CSAM is a line crossed too far and I feel like Apple is telling me I’m just not holding it right again, and that makes me unhappy.
That isn't distinctly different from marriage fraud, or whatever the US government calls it now. As a US citizen, you can basically jump start the immigration process by just having a recognized marriage to a foreigner. It's pretty messed up in my opinion and encourages bad behavior on the part of both parties.

I would consider something capable of passing an arbitrary variation of DARPA Grand Challenge in urban traffic conditions repeatedly as something close to genuine "driving," but not the current "driving on rails" approach.
There's a good chunk of lower income people who are unbanked and don't have smart phones.

However they typically live where they can get by without a car, as even a cheap car requires unexpected $700 repairs and can not be relied upon.

A lot of the car-dependent design of most of the US is to try to keep people like that out of neighborhoods.
I'm looking for an alternative Android phone mostly because I'm annoyed by the lack of control over the computer I use the most. Any suggestions?
In that scenario this attack is unnecessary. Someone could just send you legitimate child pornography and then immediately tell the authorities that you possess said things.
Very true; downtown feels like disneyland for the suburbs. I really hope it can make the transition into a more coherent city.
I don't work there anymore. I left that company for a literal 100% pay raise, their pay sucks that bad. I wouldn't really pay attention to the glassdoor, though the negative reviews are very close to my experience there. Lack of direction and poor management. Their technology honestly sucks. Its an insanely political place where if you don't toe the company line and say everything is peachy, they force you out. Like even pointing out serious weaknesses in applications or the absurdity of a project is seen as being a problem employee.

There aren't very many smart engineers working there honestly. One of the good things there is that they put junior engineers in charge of projects, which lets them grow faster than most places, but the problem is that they put a bunch of junior engineers in charge of projects so there is noone who really understands software engineering and could actually mentor others. Like if a senior engineering resume came to me from RV, I would treat it as a Junior engineer.

So fine place to start your career, terrible place to actually learn how to build good software.
I don't think glassdoor was ever reliable. Many of my previous employers would ask employees to write favorable things on there.
> Is this really a sacrifice?

For many people, yes.

> Bigger house means more maintenance, and bigger lot means more mowing. I for one, hate mowing.

No one is forcing you to buy a big home with a maintenance burden. Out of respect, don't force other people into buying smaller ones.
A substantial number of their residents weren't included in that decision making process, as I recall.
Ok, I'll repeat.

The truth matters. It matters ten times more when you're Google, where many, many people go to get answers for questions, and it's a deep abuse of trust when Google shows lies.

I phrased my opinion badly, and I was wrong to do so. Mea culpa.

Also, I'm a lowly engineer. I don't manage anyone, and I don't "run" anything, except, you know, unit tests on my machine and stuff.
I frankly have become very suspicious of arguments that go "poor people who are not me also happen to like this thing I like, so any attempt to curtail it is discriminatory." Is there something about a gas pump that makes poor people more likely to congregate than a similar facility without? An electric charging station, for instance, would presumably be similar and might even be more likely to have places where you can hang out since it takes longer.
I ditched my last Apple products in 2013 due to lack of control. I daily drive Linux (Fedora 34) on desktop and Android on my phone (Pixel 4). I use Plex and a home server to control my media.

That's still fairly restrictive. Even with airplanes, it's fairly restrictive.

Much easier if you have a land border for illegal immigrants to wander in, as the US can attest to with it's ridiculous scheme to "build a wall" to resolve the issue.

So the volume of one atom can be calculated using, c. 30 dp. of pi -- +3 so that errors do not compound.

So we need 30 bits/atom to store the volume, for 10^30 atoms -- this is 10^15 petabytes.

Suppose we're trying to estimate the shape of the table using the relevant state vector for each atom (ie., radius, coordinate, EM-shell, etc.). Ie., how these atoms interact to produce a structure.

Then we need perhaps 10 numbers/atom, so 10^16 petabytes. And consider the computation.

The issue is that macroscopic structuring effects, ie., that the table has its tabular shape also exert a top-down effect constraining the structure of the atoms.

We'd have to solve that problem through iteration. Ie., we compute a shape from local effects only, then iteratively recompute until increasing orders of scale are included.

Suppose we perform 1 operation/atom to compute an interaction, that's 10^30 operations. At 1ns/op, we have 10^21 seconds -- optimistically.

That's one scale, now we need to iterate; given the orders of effects are 1nm...1m that's c. 10 scales, say. We're now at 10^22 seconds with 10^16 petabytes of data.

And also, since we're running a 10-fold iteration we need more than 10^30 precision, as errors will compound.

This is for a table!. As I said, choose your scale, eg., atom to star, and the storage requirments have an essentially physically impossible mass.
I recently put NoScript into a less-trust mode and manually enable sites and links if a webpage I want is broken.

It is pretty amazing to auto-bypass paywalls, and how much faster sites load, that you can see how many external JavaScript sources there are on every site by default.

It’s a little annoying when I realize that X or Y page doesn’t look or work right and need to adjust, then reload, maybe a couple times, but overall worth it! Magic is right.
B12 only exists in meat because the animals are fed supplements. Also there is vegan sources of Omega-3 found in algae. That's where salmon get their omega-3 from.
ignorant question here, but: how should scientists resolve the ethical questions surrounding the topic of creating and/or experimenting on systems that are reasonably expected to be capable of intelligence and/or consciousness - or, are reasonably expected to, in a relatively consistent environment, naturally grow into a system innately capable of intelligence and/or consciousness?

And I'll slightly clarify to say that I'm more specifically interested in sort of...the first principles approach to the ethical consideration, as opposed to trying to ask just about the current status quo in modern legal systems.

As an aside, you may also note that I've explicitly avoided specifying whether such systems are composed from an organic/biological substrate or an inorganic/synthetic one. Until the hard problem of consciousness is solved, some part of me that enjoys dark humor occasionally toys with a thought experiment where neural nets may define and/or support a similar, though likely more limited form of consciousness, where in the face of our lack of a rigorous understanding of the nature of qualia, something like the back-propagation algorithm could possibly be phenomenologically similar to torture.

Probably not, obviously(?), but like I said, dark humor thought experiment :P
No, because Apple will simply start killing Apple IDs and blocking hardware by serial number for abusive behavior towards Apple when y’all do that, and that’s a very expensive problem to overcome.

“You tried to exploit our production systems and we’re ending our customer relationship with you over it” is a classic Apple move and no one outside of the Hackintosh community realizes that their devices include crypto-signed attestations of their serial number during Apple service sign-ins.
Who would invest in a new gas station today?

You're going to spend $1M+ on all the buildings, pumps, tanks, etc. And the population of gas cars in the road is slowly decreasing today, and expected to rapidly decrease in the future. Will you really get a good return in your investment when profits on selling gas are very slim, and the risks of EPA regulations giving you huge fines for gas leaks and soil decontamination costs are so large.

This article mentions they used 1.5MJ of energy for the fusion process, it seems to be related to this news, on wikipedia you can find a cited NYTimes article stating 80% of the energy input was released.

And I don't get where you get "couple order of magnitude too low" from, 500TW means nothing, it's a workload, not the total work the laser performed. Over a few nanoseconds, that checks out.
I think you're mixing up terminology here, because sin^2(x) is computable.

I mean, if there is a process to progressively give better estimates of the output of a function, then this function is computable.
Which is a shame because as poorly written as it is, it's very well researched and sourced.

Both this and your prior statement are reflections regarding the diversity of the United States: we have a lot of good stuff and a lot of bad stuff. You can find either in abundance and pretend it's the only option, or you can look at it and see a nuanced perspective.
Yup! It's a legitimately crazy default.

Edit: Though, to be fair, the specific hash-collision scenario would be that someone could send you something that doesn't look like CSAM and so you wouldn't reflexively delete it.
I'm still conflicted. The article you linked goes deep into philosophy of knowledge, but still arguably misses the most important point - false color can be a tool for analysis, pretty pictures are entertaining (and/or good marketing), but neither of them let us - individuals - get closer to the phenomena.

When I look at photos of distant places on Earth, I do so because I'm trying to imagine how would they look like if I was actually there. This is the main reason people care about photos in general[0] - they're means to capture and share an experience. As a non-astronomer, when I'm looking for photos of things in space, I also want to know - first and foremost - how would these things look to my own eyes if I was close enough to see them.

The article mentions NASA defending their image manipulation as popular astronomy's equivalent of red-eye removal. But it's not that. Red-eye removal exists to correct for the difference between a flash-equipped camera system and human eyes. It's meant to manipulate the image strictly to make it closer to what a real human would've seen on the scene. Where is astronomy's actual equivalent of that? Pictures manipulated in such a way to make them maximally close to what an astronaut in a spacesuit would see, if they were hanging around the astronomical object in question? That's what I'd like to see.

Such pictures will not be as exciting as the propped up marketing shoots, but they'll at least allow the viewers to calibrate their understanding of space with reality. I would think this would be seen as more important in the truth-seeking endeavor of science.

[0] - Marketing notwithstanding - the reason imagery is so useful in advertising is because of this desire; carefully retouched and recomposed pictures are superstimuli, the way sugar is for our sense of taste.
Got you. The countability argument is interesting. Thanks for the discussion, I feel like I learned something!
>Sure Europeans get paid less - but they also get a bunch of great benefits like time off and government paid health care, so it works out

At $45,284 the US has the highest household net disposable income per capita in the OECD (<http://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/countries/united-states/>), where "disposable income" (<http://stats.oecd.org/glossary/detail.asp?ID=46>" accounts for healthcare and government benefits.
I worked for a couple of months from Cyprus with a team that stretched from Pacific to Eastern time. For one project where I was able to build features on my own with minimal coordination it was great. For two other projects it sucked. If the team isn't really used to async collaboration (you know, detailed pull requests, existing documentation, etc) it just doesn't work well.

I'm not worried about my North American salary getting scooped from Europe. I think there are many factors that go into why there is such a salary difference in the first place anyway. For example, engineering in Germany is much more prized than in Canada so many of the technically gifted Canadians go into software instead. Anyone can read the situation of their local region and sort of self-select into the better professions locally, which makes a bit of a feedback loop.
What makes CSAM database private?

It's my understanding that many tech companies (Microsoft? Dropbox? Google? Apple? Other?) (and many people in those companies) have access to the CSAM database, which essentially makes it public.
The collisions are supposedly reviewed, my concern is that the process for photodna isn't going to always be the same, and we don't actually have any knowledge as to whether their claims are true. Eventually they will phase out human intervention and replace with gameable AI. 3 letter agencies don't need to review the actual images, they can easily get federal warrants based on some numbers.

Apple is content with putting in backdoors. Theres collusion behind the scenes here, they know it's bad, but hey, it's apple, it's ran by manipulators and liars and forms it's own cult.
