I don't know of anyone suggesting that climate change is going to be an extinction event. Changing patterns of human settlement, and the state of human civilization? Certainly. Extinction? Doesn't seem likely right now, from everything I've read.
You've got a kind of narrow view of the matter... The need for interactive understanding is addressed in different ways by reinforcement learning, GANs, and autoregressive recurrent neutral networks.

In the latter cases, the generative output of the network is a kind of experiment, and back prop from the loss function provides a route to improvement.

I think it's an unfortunate historical accident that the field of machine learning is so transfixed with classifiers. But they're really not the only game in town.
In legal parlance, we call that a “court-ordered warrant.”

The US has had a medley of surveillance scandals over the years, but none of them involved anything nearly as drastic as what’s shown in the video.

Edit: drastic for regular American citizens and residents. America’s foreign surveillance is inexcusable.

> I thought that when I send a parameterized query to PostgreSQL or MS SQL Server, most (or even all) of the query plan gets created without looking at any parameter values.

Your comment peaked my interest so I looked into what postgres does, and it's pretty ingenious in my opinion. It can create either a generic plan (not looking at parameter values) or a custom plan where it looks at parameter values and then uses statistics to find the best plan.

By default, for the first 5 executions of a prepared statement uses a custom plan. If the execution costs of these different plans are pretty close to each other, from then on it just uses the generic plan (idea being that the extra cost of generating a custom plan each time isn't worth it), but if they are different enough (meaning looking at statistics can have a big speedup), then custom plans are used going forward. This behavior can be tweaked using DB flags.
TFA gives this hint, but doesn't go into detail:

Go doesn’t attract mediocrity it attracts pragmatism.

I worked on a Scala team for a couple years, had a lot of devs that were “smart”, problem was they wrote really fancy code no one could understand.

I then switched to a Go team and it was night and day. I was wildly more productive and the people in the community were not lacking intelligence.

Go prioritizes community, it believes that “us” is more impactful than “me”. This is its biggest strength, and is often lost on people looking in from the outside.
"NNs are bad at extrapolating, including e.g. trivially to periodic functions."

WaveNet and its descendents are the obvious counter example here. It is excellent at learning to generate periodic and nearly periodic functions...
Maybe this is different from country to country but when I open the ESA Website it says that this is an optional question that might become mandatory in the future.
Common enough for the EFF to have an article about it.
Not sure I understand your point. Do you want to use a bunch of sine functions to approximate a sine function? What would that show?

Splines don't know anything about the nature of a function. They approximate any function with piecewise polynomials.

Maybe you are trying to say that the default activation function (relu) in sklearn is not smooth. No problem, you can add

activation='tanh'

inside the definition of the NN, and check the RMSE. Turns out it's for some reason worse.

VeraCrypt has that:

We can summarize most comments here as either:

-I agree with how articles are written, so Wikipedia isn't that bad - maybe still a little rough around the edges, but all things considered I trust it.

-I disagree with how articles are written, and the problems are unsolvable within Wikipedia.

Allowing different editors to one article has not resolved this difference. Given that we are approaching 20 years of Wikipedia being widely popular on the 'Net and this problem has persisted, a solution likely requires something on the technical level of the site, itself, (or, more likely, a new site outside of the Wikimedia Foundation) that changes fundamentally how it operates.

To the extent that competition exists for encyclopedic wikis, the ones I have discovered use some version of a preferred view on what articles should be published and what sources are acceptable, so they are essentially using a nearly identical process as Wikipedia, thus suffer from the same problems.

Imagine if GitHub maintained editable standards through a "volunteer" bureaucracy for what software could be published to the site; what a software can do; what language is used for a given software; deciding which libraries are permitted for use in a project; not permitting "duplicate" software, even when they share the same name (users and projects still maintain unique names). To summarize, this version of GitHub would suck and nobody would use it, but this is analogous to how Wikipedia is managed.

Since the problem revolves around how a single article is to be created, edited, and sourced, and given the difficulty just in this concept, the rather obvious solution is to have multiple articles for a given topic where each is created, edited, and sourced however the maintainers of such articles desire.

The next problem of course is this generating an incredible number of articles, each predictably with its maintainer-guard dog. The way to make this usable could be through implementing "universes" of articles. Some universes could operate on some revision of the current Wikipedia and its bureaucracy, others may be purely top-down, hand-curated lists, or could include multiple universes.

This is one sort of way to deal with what is effectively fundamental problems with observing the Universe combined with aspects of the human experience.

Yet another macro manipulating C extension hobbyist project.

The article shows it with syntax highlighting, that I could only guess wouldn’t actually work.
Yes, this is spot on. Russia has spent the last 10 years or so rebuilding pipeline infrastructure to avoid Ukrainian tariffs. Ukraine in response has begun to align itself with the West as it seeks to ramp up its own energy production, threatening the overwhelming majority of Russia's GDP. Sometimes these things really are simple. This isn't to excuse what Putin is doing, and he is performing some serious brainwashing on the Russian people. Let us hope that the Russian people wake up to the lies they've been fed and finally rid themselves of this man. The fact of the matter is, the majority of the Ukrainian and Russian people have much more in common than what separates them. My hope is His Holiness Kirill can also wake up from his slumber, set aside his notions that God cares about the restoration of the former glory of the Kievan Rus, and see what is going on around him, because he can act as a major unifying force if he chooses to do so.
>A hypothetical Russian that still has no clue what their government is doing will be magnitudes more likely to notice spotify stopped working, apple doesn't sell new devices, Ikea is closing, than accidentally find one slighly critical bit of content.

Okay, then what? I guess the assumption is that once they find out, they will find an accurate/neutral representation of what's going on, and then go protest or whatever. What makes you think that'll be the case, rather than them being fed whatever anti-western propaganda the government has concocted? Has western sanctions made the people of north korea realize "what their government is doing"?

The article says "I don't do a lot of artificial intelligence, natural-language processing or machine-learning research, but if I did, Haskell would be my first pick there too." No explanation, the article goes on to explain purity and lazy evaluation that as far as I understand don't have any connection to machine learning.
Recently not Putin but President Zelensky himself stated that Ukraine could develop a nuclear bomb:

Another interesting info:

The recent clashes at the administrative buildings near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) could be a result of Ukraine storing documents on perspective developments of nuclear weapons there [1]

I’d say this signals intent, but reeks of incompetence, a lack of preparation, a lack of capability, and desperation. I’d say overall this is a good sign. They aren’t able to effectively engage in mass surveillance and round up dissidents en masse.

Numdoc Lint: NumPy style docstring checking in Python code
Looks like it was optional until 2020, then became compulsory.

https://usaestaonline.com/esta-social-media-question
It is very simple. The shut down of those nuclear power plants has been planned to the day for about 10 years. That includes maintanance, how much fuel is needed, which people are going to keep their job, how many new people are hired and trained, who retires early. There is almost no chance to change that trajectory with only 10 months to go. And were not even talking about the regulatory planning that would be needed. The german nuclear power plants will be shut down on december 31 this year. Nothing, short of a nuclear war, is going to change that.

You can safely assume that those that are leaving right now are abandoning their lives behind them and will try to rebuild somewhere else. These are not holiday goers.

DHS often flouts the law. (You aren't wrong, but I'm just saying.)

I definitely would not agree with that.

They might not quite have this level of surveillance, but they're probably not too far away, either. And there will be actors within the bureaucracy pushing to increase surveillance as far as they possibly can.

The US Federal bureaucracy is grossly out of control and serves its own interests, which aren't those of the citizens or the states.

When you look at tax policy in particular, you see that the states are effectively colonies of the Federal government and bureaucracy.

Yes and no.

The issue seems to be, these aren't true bug reports but support tickets pretending to be otherwise. The creator also mentions docs. If people try to save time (i.e., time is money) and don't read the docs but they want support. Well, there should be a fee for that. As we all know, ultimately, nothing is free.
I like the separation between pure and impure code. In his Haskell class Eric Meijer said that pure code are like islands and monadic code is like the ocean, and as programmers we decide how much of a system is pure code.

Sorry for being off topic: the new M1 Macs seem to take some of the pain out of large runtimes for compile/build in languages like Haskell and Swift. I don’t have any benchmarks, this is just very noticeable when I am coding.

This shows a complete lack of insight into how the phone company interacts with your phone, what they can and what they can't do. The reason the guards target the phones is precisely because the phone company doesn't have access to this data. They can at best read SMS, but not whatsapp, telegram and a ton of other popular messaging apps which use strong crypto and bypass the telco in case of WiFi connectivity.

Telco's see plenty, but your phone sees a whole lot more.

Pinning can be far less painful with tooling to review and manage all the changes. One example would be the Maven versions plugin: you can use it to query "what's been updated", update to next release, etc. The list of goals is pretty explanatory, and a good starting point: https://www.mojohaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/

When evaluating new toolchains, I often ask myself "what is the versions plugin equivalent here". There's often commercial offerings that help this process out.

Dependency management is one of these topics that rarely gets attention until much later in the ecosystem's lifetime. So chances are you'll need to find or create tooling to fill gaps.

I mean, you can do the whole "damn the torpedos and see what breaks" approach, but, I'd prefer a way to review changes. And I'd prefer doing those updates _separate_ from other changes.
The Real Reasons Why You're Always Tired
It’s the whole ‘the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men do nothing’, combined with the very real reality that being the first (or part of it when it isn’t enough) to do something usually results in predictable catastrophic terrible consequences for whoever tries to do something.

And that successful evil uses that to ‘boil the frog’ and constantly shift the normal bit by bit in the direction they want, never doing it enough they get a critical mass of resistance, and slowly pruning out all the good people (with terrible consequences for those folks), and then being able to accelerate as they go due to lower and lower portions of folks willing and able to speak out.

It’s terrifying to watch, even more terrifying to know what it can mean unfortunately.

Because we recognize ‘evil’ as being evil and bad because of the horrible and wide reaching consequences of it for everyone in the longer term.

Hopefully Putin made too big a step here (overconfidence maybe, or his hand was forced by something else), we all have recent even painful experience to react strongly enough, and the backlash will be sufficient to actually result in critical change and not a ratcheting up of the ‘new normal’.

Theoretically yes, in practice it has mostly been politics first when deciding where to put that stuff than anything else, at least in Germany.
Article quotes rather old statements (from 27th of February). The minister had said they were considering/checking it, but AFAIK its overall consensus that it would not be possible. It is simply too late for that, the process has been going for too long. Jobs were laid of/relocated and new qualified jobs in that sector were not created due to the upcoming nuclear exit. And you will not find anybody wanting to go back to that field, given that it is perfectly clear that this is not future proof.

Tried using Zelle last month to pay back a friend, and it triggered a fraud alert. They called me, we spent half hour on the phone verifying everything. Then the next day they locked my bank account. Took me a week to get it back, after hours on the phone.

It depends. If looking at the diffs isn’t enough to really understand the change, then yeah, I’m pulling it down. I can more easily navigate using static analysis tools that way. I can also play with it too to find edge cases.

I certainly wouldn’t make it a requirement of reviewers. I leave it to them to make their own determination on whether a patch is satisfactory.

> your attitude in this comment makes me skeptical that you are approaching this with an open mind.

It makes me uncomfortable when a genuine viewpoint is downvoted. That plus your own snarky response above tells me the community here isn't able to have an open mind to respectfully discuss viewpoints and data that may contradict their mainstream narrative. In other words I'm skeptical of the intellectual maturity of yourself (not saying that as an insult, but to clarify my opinion) and this community in facilitating a discussion on this topic. I'd urge you to apply your skepticism and same intellectual rigor that you demand of my comment to your own. Thank you for your understanding.
Imagine USA being bycotted by all companies for attacking Afghanistan or Iraq. This would unite the US citizens no matter what thier president did. Everyone, think twice before imposing crippling sanctions on a country with nukes.
To be clear this is about going through customs as you enter the country through an airport, not domestic flights. I’m not sure if that organization falls under tsa or not.
It sounds like you might not be familiar with C2, which (still) hosts the original Wiki site at http://wiki.c2.com/. The basic concept -- a community-editable site with editing tools designed to ease the process of intra-site links -- has been generalized, but really not changed much.
I guess that is why it was downvoted. I upvoted it because it made a good point (I'm not a programmer, but I think I understood it):

The upside of using Zelle for a legit business is almost nil, the upside of using Zelle for a scammer is very high, thus if someone claiming to be a business insists on using Zelle, it'd reasonable to assume it's a scam.
