Hey, I’m Konstantin, the author of the paper. It’s a big surprise to see an active discussion here, it was very interesting for me to read the comments. I agree with the people saying that Newton with line search often works as it is, the point of my work is to obtain a theory that can be used later to obtain extensions to harder settings or modifications with more aggressive iterations. Only the time will tell if the method itself is useful in practice. I feel like most questions have been already answered here by the community, but I’m happy to answer any remaining questions.

I also presented this work online and the recording is available on youtube, I hope you’d enjoy it:

WhatsApp Launches Instant Cryptocurrency Payments in the US
It'll be 2023 at least (and likely 2025) before Apple's OS support stops, although applications might stop shipping Intel updates before Apple does.

I ran my PowerBook (with PowerPC CPU) for quite a few years after the Intel switch with no problem, although to be fair, I wasn't using a lot of commercial software, so upgrades weren't a problem until Apple stopped supporting PPC.

Perhaps at that point, something like ElementaryOS might be the best path? See https://elementary.io/
It doesn't always mean what it looks like it means, FWIW. The dad of one of my close friends defaulted on a £600m loan, essentially 'strategically' in order to play hardball, and it got reported by lots of newspapers as if he'd gone bankrupt. I think a lot of people extrapolate from personal finances to business (or in that case HNW) finances, and it doesn't really work that way.
> no one trusts each other - but no one has to!

Isn’t the whole point of a market that we trust each other enough to have a shared understanding of what value is? How can a market function when you trust no one else in it? Cash is a perfect example of this: it’s only worth something because we all agree that it’s worth something, we can’t eat it or do anything else with it other than to exchange it for goods. Crypto isn’t any different.

It will be interesting how this holds up if Tether is actually just “printing” money as they go. If the rumors are true and they go bust or are shut down, one could easily see that event catalyzing a crypto market meltdown similar to what we saw in 2008 where speculation was out of control. Will the energy remain in the crypto space if the crypto markets fall victim to the very thing they were created to prevent?

The bond contracts explicitly cover this scenario, they contain language that ties all the bonds together. This is why the "did they technically default?" is important - the default on one bond triggers the protections for all the other bonds, even if their due date was far into the future, requiring Evergrande to split any repayments equally across the whole class of the bonds right now. They can choose how to prioritize their contracts until they default, but once they do, the choice is limited and their assets would (or at least should - legal enforcement may be tricky and take time) get split among the relevant debtors as contracted.

I think regulations for competition would be naive because data center location has other effects aside costs. Privacy protections and strategic security for instance. Industrial espionage is the largest métier of intelligence agencies. Of course some users in there will always have access to data.

What would warrant such a tech backlash?
The vast majority of evergrandes debt is denominated in CNY not USD I think. Bear in mind how tightly china controls access to its markets and its currency isn't easily convertible.

In other words, there's probably far less spillover into the rest of the world because the rest of the world simply couldn't lend evergrande that much money in the first place.

So multi million fine threats is how you get to a human at Google.
You're attempting to apply Western financial concepts to China.

The CCP literally doesn't care about anybody but themselves, doubly so for foreigners.

What they will do, and have been doing, is ensure locals are treated well, and foreign investors will get nothing. The reason locals will get something is because 80% of household wealth is in real estate, propping up almost half of their GDP growth for the past 3 decades.

> I would say China has benefited a lot from the international financial system and from the rules of international commerce, so they probably have to honor international debts.

It's the exact opposite. They benefit from US capital markets, and exploit that to the max. Shortly after WW2, the CCP defaulted on US bonds and those are still being litigated.

The CCP considers contracts and treaties "binding the wrists of foreigners", never themselves. The whole point of contracts and treaties is that they're just paper to the CCP. Now do you understand how it works?

What is good about the Evergrande default(s) is that Trump/Pompeo were in the process of restricting US capital markets using the government, but now Wall Street will voluntarily examine risk more carefully.
Don't bother commenting then. This adds nothing and just makes things toxic.
As that article explains, that only works if the non-closing node notices the problem in time to contest this. And, according to your article, this period is 24h, not 2 weeks.

I'd also note that this seems to make DoS much worse of a problem. If I have a transaction with a node that has gone offline and can't be reached, and I initiate a forced closure, what's to stop the other node from taking all the money in the channel, especially if I am not constantly online and the channel state I can't know for sure if the other node may have made some transactions while I was away?
Exactly. What it means is now all creditors can “call” their loans and demand payment in full - which causes a “run on the bank” type stampede usually.

Unless it were made clear that only foreign creditors are going to get screwed, they will all call.
Academics mostly got it right, media thrived on conflict and false-balance while politics, especially German politics, were more concerned about elections than anything else.
> I find it very surprising that there isn't at least non-AI software to monitor what the pilots are doing.

For a multi-crew aircraft, I believe this is the entire point of Crew resource management [1].

> "Specifically, CRM aims to foster a climate or culture where authority may be respectfully questioned. It recognizes that a discrepancy between what is happening and what should be happening is often the first indicator that an error is occurring"

For commercial aviation, I'd rather take my chances with the crew with 60+ years of combined experience vs. an AI model.

The title implies $275B in revenue (well, to me it does) but the article says "$275 billion in spending"

That may be different than revenue for Apple. Does the pay wall article clarify this?

Note: I'm not defending Apple here. Assisting a regime like the PRC with technology that could be used to further violate human rights is something the US should be monitoring and cracked down on with significant force, whether it's $275B or $10k
I can vouch for DF Tube (Distraction Free for YouTube™).
Ansible - in my experience (mostly with openstack-ansible years ago) - was too slow, hard to configure, debug and hard to extend with new modules. :(

Moving toward "declarative state with enforcing/monitoring (idempontent!?) control loops" is much, much better. (What k8s does well. Now all we need is one master bash script to setup k8s :D )

In the beginning we actually were looking at whether we can use Jitsi for the audio part of Jam and just focus on the ui but Jitsi is huge and difficult to get into so we (arguably) naively started from scratch and then had to solve many problems that Jitsi probably already solves (?).

That said: if you are looking for something that has room concepts close to Clubhouse or Twitter Spaces (you see who is in the room, who is speaking, you can move people between audience and stage and so on) and an easy way to add those rooms to existing (web) or mobile apps then Jam is great out of the box. If you are looking for screen sharing or video then Jitsi is a better starting point right now I think.

Mumble I am not very familiar with but it looks interesting. As far as I understand it is not web based but like Jam it also is p2p and uses opus for audio (low latency, high quality)? Perhaps someone who knows Mumble can do a comparison.
> Almost always asking for "meaningful" jobs. What even is that?

There are lots of companies that are always "looking to higher" but they aren't actively highering, bullshit "job opportunities" are everywhere.

> Feeling attacked about their profile, but not changing them to accommodate.

Their profile should be an honest description of their abilities. Suggesting they change to "accommodate" sounds like you are suggesting they just bullshit to get the job like every one else?

> Supposedly seniors relying on recruiters and job offers

Unless your friends are recruiters they are probably too busy with their own work to find you a job. Looking for job offers and recruiters are two very well proven strategies to get a job, implying otherwise is odd.

> It's your job to get the hiring manager to like you, not the other way around.

Again sounds like your advice is just talk bullshit to get a job you have no real interest in. Bad advice.

To be rudely honest you come across as a bullshitter with no useful advice.

You're not working for the hiring manager, don't screw it up before you've at least come inside to have a look around, and have had a shot at making a nice environment for yourself in your position, which won't happen when you get offended so easily.

I'm on a number of "large niche" forums (think posts-per-minute not minutes-per-post) and yeah, lots of yelling. But I'm also on a large Facebook group aiming at the same audience (actually a spin-off of the most ancient of those forums), and it's a night and day difference. On the Facebook group everybody with even the tiniest trace of control is self-censoring themselves into total silence, leaving only the chattiest voices outdoing each other with irrelevant posts. The forums are terrible in their own way, but still so much better.

But it's very noticeable how the forum audience is aging, even compared to Facebook which is already the retiree home amongst corporate social media. I can't imagine how lopsided interaction must be on the "influencer platform" generation of social media must be..

I used to enjoy playing TF2 until 2013/14 or so. I settled into the No Heroes servers and after a while you get to know people. You pop on, see familiar names, say hello and you'd have a good time. It was like a small town which had a lot of other people passing through keeping things lively yet familiar.

Recently I tried to play TF2 again just for kicks. The community is dead. I played for maybe 30 min before exiting uninstalling and never looking back. Good job valve.
Why would they? That would be like the US government bailing out the EU banks that invested in the 2008 real estate credit swap nonsense... oh, well, they bailed out the local banks at least.
This article attempts to conflate two very different levels of capability.

On the one hand, the author discusses what they have achieved so far - a machine-vision based system that can fly reasonably competently in good visibility and low traffic density, comparable, they say, to aviation 80 years ago (actually, as I mentioned in another comment, aviation in 1941 had already advanced significantly beyond that.)

A little later, they write this;

There is no reason to believe computers will always be worse at that than you are. There is no reason the machine can’t reliably make the call to land in the Hudson when all engines are out and to do so in adversarial conditions safely.

True enough, as far as it goes, but there is also no reason to suppose that the technologies the author is discussing here will deliver that level of performance. The good judgement demonstrated by Sullenberger that day (and by many pilots in many other dire situations) depended on an extensive understanding of how the world works, and to reason about outcomes outside of the rules of the game, so to speak (for example, short-cutting the checklist in order to ensure the aircraft continued to have auxiliary power.) Current machine-vision systems, on the other hand, lack the ability to reason about how things ought or might be, and so can make utterly bizarre-seeming judgements about what they are "seeing."

Personally, I believe fully-automated aviation will become both feasible and acceptable, but with arguments like the one quoted above, this article is glossing over the challenges that remain.

The system sees small business/individuals always as offenders of the property of powerful enterprises, deserving of nasty punishment for this nasty crime.

Toei is doing a "Display of Power", and because the company holds the rights to entertainment that is very dear to those who consume it, if Toei fells like doing it, Toei will issue some corporate apology and move on.

Youtube does not care if one of its non-corporate users is going through even though Youtube itself created the conditions that put that user in the situation.

N.B: I know, "youtube needs to do that in order to be a safe heaven", blah blah blah... I think my point stills holds.
In fact Teams itself has E911 support, you have to enable it if you setup a phone number PBX.

> in most cases we complain about apps that don't do that.

In this case I don't think that thinking applies. As I understand those APIs are there so that you can create replacements for the stock dialer app, which is not what Teams is. If that's how it's been designed then I believe it is trying to take on too much responsibility.
It's sad, but I think "tricked" is a simplification. Being tricked into thinking it was safer than it was, yes, but being tricked in order to boost the share price or maintain the company, I'm not so sure.

Even towards the end the CEO was taking out personal loans secured on his Enron shares... in order to buy more Enron shares. This was a big contributor to the snowball effect when the share price started falling. I think the top people at Enron honestly believed in the stock and were probably mostly pushing it for employees on this basis. That was pure hubris, thinking they were smarter than everyone else. They should have known better and some were rightfully prosecuted for their part, but it's a bit more complicated than saying the employees were "tricked".
Which is hardly surprising, given how insane the Chinese real estate bubble is. I understand there are entire ghost cities of extensive high-rise developments - sitting largely abandoned and owned as vacant second homes by Chinese private investors waiting to sell them on a profit thanks to an urban migration that might never happen.

Edit: I don't know why am I being downvoted. The Chinese real estate bubble has been rather well-documented, see e.g. this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/EgVXRtq5EIg
That's the gentle dominoes falling version. Then there is the version where lending institutions completely rethink the risk in that sector. In that version they call loans and stop extending credit to same or similar businesses overnight. When Enron collapsed every other energy trading firm lost access to trading capital, taking out the entire sector. Whether or not energy companies should have been speculating in the futures market with borrowed money is a separate conversation.
They haven't defaulted yet, but according to Fitch Ratings they defaulted.

> I want Signal, Slack, Teams, my apartment buildings intercom system, etc, to be able to present their own native incoming calls through the same dialogs that regular calls come through. But not at the cost of potentially not being able to call emergency services...

Understand that calling emergency services on VoLTE is essentialy VoIP as well - noone here disagrees that this is a horrifying bug. But the issue with this bug is not the APIs that allows VoIP apps to integrate into call system (after all, those APIs also make Signal/WhatsApp/Skype/Teams calls work over systems like smartwatches, Android Auto and Bluetooth car integrations) but the fact that Android somehow missed the fact that a buggy app can stop a call.
I'm sorry but that is a absolute statement, verging on propaganda. Of course they protect their people. For example there is significant crime in Russia, but the Russian government fields a police force that enforces the laws of Russia, jailing murderers, thieves, etc [0].

Of course there is corruption, of course some are above the law (but then is true the world over), and you need to play by the local rules, but that is not an absence of protection, although it may not be on par with what you might expect somewhere else.

You also have to remember that the justification for the Russian invasion of Crimea was to protect the minority Russian population living in Crimea. So clearly the idea that the Russian government protects Russians is believed to be true within the state of Russia to the point where that idea can be exploited to justify military expansionism.

We really need to get past the 'good guy' / 'bad guy' version of politics, the whole world is a shade of grey.
