It's not necessary to inject intentional latency in the manner the parent suggests via a rather extreme delay.

You can accomplish a lot of the same outcome by merely eradicating following feeds (that is, the combined stream of posts from users that you follow).

In the early days of Facebook when you had to manually visit user pages to see what was new with someone or what they were posting, it was dramatically lower velocity in terms of how fast bullshit would spread and how much content you could reasonably consume. It would reduce page views / content views spectacularly, by including just that little bit of time and labor cost to the consumption. People would focus that effort primarily on the users that really matter to them.

The social networks of course know this. They built the streams / feeds / walls for that reason, to turbocharge the addiction. They'll never give it up.

How does it do that? I’ve watched plenty of youtube streams where some of the audio was cut due to background music.
Anecdotes are in fact empirical science.

HN (and dang) like to mouth the word "science", but are in fact anti-science.

The discussions of corona on HN in the past 18 months have been shamefully ignorant and anti-science.
It runs on every server that you install it on (currently happening at my company - lots of servers owned by lots of different departments need to have it instaked).

I'm still on the waitlist for the 5950 since Christmas. I bought an AMD laptop meanwhile, but never bothered removing my name from the list. I should start a pool on how long it takes before they contact me.
"This time for sure, Rocky!"

Every time Intel has a "revolution" they wind up pointed the same way, with less reason for hope. They've lived off blocking competition and stomping innovation for so long they have no idea how to do anything else. Kill the rotted zombie corpse and let people with ideas do shit.
> All I am advocating is that whatever your idea is should be reflected on your reputation.

I think the difference is when society figured out the internet enabled mobs and mobs can snap reputations like twigs on a whim. There are folks who deny this occurs but there are high profile cases that exemplify it, and if you keep your ears open you'll see it happen to laypeople people too. Brendan Eich is one such person, as frustrating as he can be at times, and as much as he and I may disagree at times, being cancelled from being Mozilla's CEO was a direct harm to both Mozilla and himself. A harm which was led by a mob that had fuel poured on it by OKCupid.

People didn't just invent a need for anti-censorship, it was always prevalent within our society, but mostly locked to a local level until the internet gave it a global voice.

That's the american-centric view. The global populace is still dealing with authoritarian regimes that want to control all speech, which these tools would aid in fighting against. We had political forces in the form of "think of the children" and "terrorism" which could rise to the level of an authoritarian state in the US, but we're probably a ways off from that. It would be nice if these tools existed (and were updated) by the time that arrives, if it does.
You were the one that cynically asked if the advertised performance improvements were real or imaginary, not me.

To your point, many of the improvements from Rust-based tools appears to come from the ability to express performant semantics safely and elegantly in the language. You could write an equivalent in C, but the Rust one comes naturally, can be expressed at a higher level with better abstractions, and often comes out with top-tier performance before even investing in microoptimizarions (as long as the Big-O performance is in check).
Wow.. this is huge.
A political system which operates above and oppresses the bourgeois class? Based!
The title is a bit inaccurate. They're not granting them permission to land at nearby US military facilities, so they're not taking off.
Sounds like a philosophical question. Mathematicians define axiomatisations and definitions that attempt to characterise in a rigorous way our intuition of numbers. But they don't tell us what numbers are.
I do pay for YouTube premium. But the amount of ads in the video itself is just too much. Everybody has a sponsor to talk about multiple times in theirs video. And then there is the various interaction reminders. And YouTube stills shows me ads for movies and whatnot.

I am now combining YouTube Premium with uBlock Origin and SponsorBlok to get a decent experience.
Is that a result of a skewed training set or are people really hard to tell apart from gorillas if there are no obvious tells like large difference in brightness of different areas of the face?
Who takes the fall when an AI screws up?

If you shine enough light on it, apparently the brand does. If a human were to do this, the company would immediately fire the employee and cut all ties with them. But as the article points out, 'fixing' an AI mistake isn't really a fix at all:

> [Google] said it was "appalled and genuinely sorry", though its fix, Wired reported in 2018, was simply to censor photo searches and tags for the word "gorilla".
Who knows what to believe in this case, but the woman under detention was supposedly involved in multibillion dollar corruption with the previous regime of Wen Jiabao and was swept up when the new regime wanted to clean house. Obviously they're doing it without even a semblance of due process, but there's a good chance she's actually guilty.

That kind of thinking is probably applicable to consumer applications, not for security CLI tools. Anyone deciding to encrypt files with anything other than rar/7z passwords probably wants to know how really secure the tool they’re about to choose is. But I may be wrong.
the biggest tell is probably that, unless the person is in a zoo, I haven't seen many gorillas at starbucks

Well since they mention funding from investors we can expect to pay a lot of rent, or pay really high prices.
Isn’t the latter a possible consequence of the former?
Once we know about the the systemic bias, even if accumulated unintentionally - then what do we do about it. I think we are obligated morally and technically to do more after that point.

A similar situation exists with accommodation of people with disabilities. Once you know a building architecture can shut out people by design decisions- at some point we worked through at least some basic level of agreement on principle that accommodation is required.
Skewed training set, very few dark skinned human faces.
Okay then, let me just go close my bank account then. It's just a convenience. :P
Thompson was very outspoken about his hatred of Nixon, so yep it would be mistaken to call him a conservative. He was attached to McGovern's campaign [0] as a journalist, although he would not really fall into the liberal Democrat camp either. He definitely had a streak of the 60's style mistrust of the establishment.

Perhaps left-libertarianism would be the most apt description.

FWIW, 5950x started being regularly in stock at the local BestBuy (USA, California, Bay Area) so depending on where you are, you might want to look around.

As for me, ironically, once I could finally get it, I decided that I might as well await the next spin. Chipmageddon appears to have taught me patience.
Gorillas have black and human-like faces. I think they're just quite similar so AI can more easily confuse them.
It does not need to be majority female - I'd say 30% female is more than enough to consider a job being accepting of women. But okay:

Agile can be effective in a business as usual environment similar to what the article is concerned with. It may not meet the technical definition of a Project but it uses and benefits from many of the same processes. Is that mission creep for PMI ? Cooking dinner can be managed as a project. If PMBOK starts to get merged with ITIL then we have a problem but sharing best practice is healthy everywhere.

As for the Iron Triangle, there is a reason it consistently results in cost overruns and blown schedules -- the plan stage suffers from low visibility of future conditions and the polotics of getting funded. At the other end of the spectrum is this Agile like approach of the article where your plan floats in a two week scheduling window without a baseline and you draw targets around wherever you land. There needs to be room in the middle.
TikTok started as Musical.ly and had actually signed a deal with labels to use short music clips.
I don't know. I think I would not have a hard time picking out a gorilla at Starbucks.

And I'd like to see a gorilla in any pose that's really hard (for a human) to differentiate from a person.

The truth is: the recognition algorithm is not very sophisticated after all.
Deep learning, for all its recent glories, still suffers from relatively crude, slow-converging training algorithms compared to other areas of ML and statistics.

Maybe to your typical SGD-type algorithm, working off a dataset filled with mostly light skin toned people, skin tone just looks like a real solid first-order way to distinguish humans and primates, and picking up the black people / primate distinction seems much more marginal and second-order, in terms of impact on the cost function.

If most of the people in the dataset were black, I predict you wouldn't see this.
I'm quite bullish on Intel. Their upcoming products are awesome (at least according to rumors/what they've announced) and heterogenous computing is a bigger deal than most realize. AMD Ryzen 3 and Apple's M1 get a lot of love and many speculate on what's coming next. I think there's space for several players in the space.
The more I delve into game development the more I'm convinced that we in fact do not live in a simulation.

Why would someone spend day after day carefully modelling things that no one seems to notice anyway?

For example the way in which dead leaves accumulate in a specific corner of my balcony.

If those beings that created the simulation are so advanced that they created this amazing word, why were they at the same time so stupid that they didn't do any optimisation and instead decided to model and refine things that almost no one notices anyway?

If those intelligent beings decided to spend less time on that aspect, and leaves accumulated on my balcony in a less complicated pattern, I wouldn't notice anything weird anyway, because I would be accustomed to that other less complicated pattern. So there would be no reason to make an effort on that.
This happened to both Google Photos and Flickr too. Which makes it an inexcusable mistake to make in 2021 - how are you not testing for this?

The global supply chain is a mess in general. There's a shortage in chip substrates which is throwing a wrench in the gears.

On top of that, there's a container ship traffic jam for inbound ships going to the US.
Maybe the algo or the training set or something else was racist, maybe it wasn't. But if you code something that labels people slurs, you've messed something up. Like, you need to be 99.999999% sure you're not throwing out slurs or your whole project is failing spectacularly. And then you have to apologize to the 0.0000001% , which is still probably like 10 people if half the planet uses your site. How do you get there? I don't know. I guess it'd help if you could be 99.999999% sure you weren't looking at a human face before using another label. Like, bias towards humans in a big big way. Heck, the pre-test probability that your algo is looking at a person is probably much higher than the one from your training set if you're facebook. Or maybe you drop primates from your training set. I guess in that case you'll misidentify some primates as people-- which is kind of the flipside of the same problem technically but oh so much more acceptable.
Am I wrong for feeling it is misleading to refer to her as a GM in the article and not a WGM? Obviously still a top chess player, but those a separate titles for a reason…

Any chance you could expand it to show elliptic curve addition?

You might want to reconsider holding your breath for that. No they aren't doing E2E encryption, if/when they will, they will announce it. Until they announce something everything else is pure speculation.
Human-like really depends on your interpretation. That's a generous reading of what's going on. If you google Gorilla faces, I don't think you would be confused.

The AI is not that smart and these examples show it.
Food Wars - Will we ever get a clear idea about what we should eat?
Unfortunately, the most convincing of those people are Apple, who are manifestly trying to kill the personal computer as a (more or less) open software system even if they left themselves some space to backtrack. Though Intel are far from blameless in that department as well, they look far less likely to actually succeed. I find it hard to cheer for any of the players here.

Voting.

It’s the fundamental feedback system in the US.
It's astounding how incompetent the US has become at propaganda, compared to the peak of the Cold War with the USSR. The US is an obese fighter that hasn't stepped in the ring for a serious match in 30-40 years. If the US had any idea what it was doing, or what it is really dealing with in China, it'd be applying enormous propaganda effort to that very wedge.
Google still fails with American roads that have names in the local Natives American language.

In 2019, Pluribus demonstrated superhuman ability at six-player no-limit hold'em, the most commonly played single variety of poker in the world
Isn’t it easier to use any of these email services but download and delete all email? I’m not sure how many email providers are expecting that, in terms of serving up its users to law enforcement, in the way that’s so objectionable here on HN.

I don't think he should have been forced out for tweeting the following:

"Proud of #USSupremeCourt affirming the Texas law banning abortion for babies with a heartbeat. As an entertainer I don’t get political often. Yet with so many vocal peers on the other side of this issue, I felt it was important to go on the record as a pro-life game developer."

The Left is now ascendant in many parts of the culture, but that may not always be the case.
It prevents transactions from being double-spent, like all cryptocurrency. Whether that's useful is up to you.

OnlyFans Is Not a Safe Platform for ‘Sex Work.’ It’s a Pimp
Or maybe this is a marketing ploy by the author. Terribly convenient timing that his ex-wife allegedly called him the day before his book was released and the day before he would talk to NPR about it. So now he could talk to them a day before about how he would talk to them the next day and generate some buzz and outrage amongst the audience that will translate into sales. Really convenient.
The AI is very honest and innocent, it doesn't know what political correctness is. I've heard stories of parents whose kids would also mislabel a black human as a gorilla.
Parent's point is not irrelevant though, did the AI label only people of one specific racial background as primates?

The article doesn't really provide any details as it's only a few lines long.

The word "primate" in itself is not a slur but it can be used as a slur, as you said, depending on the context, however not much context was given in the article.

It's perfectly possible to use podman rootless. Presumably docker too, but I only have experience with podman. That is, the podman process does not have root privileges.

I don't get this city from the article. Here are a list of things I would want from a city:

- no minimum parking requirements

- no zoning requirements

- no community involvement

- no free street parking

- a plan for walkability & parks

- a community of "doers" or committed (this is the hardest)

I feel like Starbase in Texas is perhaps the most exciting new city.
An alternative formulation, No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.
Apple historically has been a tiny player in terms of share. They are able to punch over their weight and be profitable making hardware. The original iMac, at the company’s nadir, was the #1 computer model, which gave them supply chain advantages in the market.

The other thing is that while Dell is stuck with Windows, Apple owns a few platforms. They sell cheap iPads as their entry product.

You may not like the strategy or the particulars of it at a given time (ie shipping a defective keyboard for years for inscrutable reasons), but they have a differentiated strategy because that’s what makes sense to them. They are not a commodity. Dell, HP, Lenovo can’t do that because they are merely a channel for delivering Windows - just like Exxon or BP are middlemen brokering gasoline, the only way to make more money is to ship more stuff.
