Oh yeah I get what you're saying about staring down, yeah external monitor-forward looking is ideal.
Now that I think about it, my first visit to the Internet was on a 486 (though I’d been using the same machine to access BBSes beforehand). I guess that’d be the same for a bunch of people here.
That demonizing started way before the 2016 lead-up; until Obama came into the foreground she was also a clear front-runner for the 2008 election, so the machine was targeting her even then.

I've noted this before, but being in the public eye for too long tends to be really bad news for presidential hopefuls in the US (Biden being the exception that proves the rule in that he eked out a win against a wildly unpopular incumbent who was actively discouraging his own supporters from voting).
Their whole method is very bizarre to me. Even as someone who has worked in film and television for a decade, I can’t make heads or tails of their strategy. I mean there must be something they are seeing that we are not, I can’t imagine they do it over and over again like that without their reasons.

But are those upset people actually questioning their position, or defending it? Will this lead to change or better understanding? I don't think it will. Even the basic premise of the article has been essentially strawmaned - comparing states to cities. Let's look at the distribution throughout the states, look at the socioeconomic factors at play in the various locations, etc.

So yeah, it's not as deep as I'd like. It seems like there's not much actual information in the article other than 80% of the top 10 states for murder rate voted for Trump, which I don't find useful or actionable.
Maybe economists should rebuild their theories from the ground up, starting with concepts like 'conservation of mass' and 'conservation of energy'? More precise definition of terms is also desirable.

For example, plant growth results in accumulation of biomass, and plants have been steadily growing (absorbing CO2 and water to create biomass) for a long time, so 'indefinite growth' in this sense possible. However, if economic growth means 'accumulation of biomass', well, in a full-grown forest, the net biomass is constant, a dead tree is replaced by a new tree. Here we have a healthy dynamic system with zero net growth - how would economists model that?

I wonder though, as it gets more absurd does the sell get harder?
If we live in an age when we're all outlier Einsteins, then none of us are outlier Einsteins.
Agreed, this article's premise is nonsense, while well written with some interesting history. The geniuses are making things that are now so common place that we've lost our wonder. Nanometer computer chips? That sounds like genius to me. Editing the human genome with CRISPR (et.al.)? That sounds like genius to me. It is true that some of our smartest minds are now focused on ads and exploiting complex derivatives but we also rolled out a vaccine to a world of billions in 9 months. There is plenty of genius, but the bar is higher and the easy things are done. This author seems to miss the genius required to let me watch live streamed video from the other side of the world on a watch as I "drive" 70 mph down the highway while the car keeps me in my lane if I stop paying attention.

Keep in mind some of the best and brightest minds in the past, some cutting edge medical experts, were highly paid to perform lobotomies. And that is just one example. I was reading recently about cutting edge "medicine" back in the day, that was literally just radioactive water made from radium. Killed lots of rich people because of how expensive it was as a treatment.

That would make a lot more sense.
What do you guys think of the Carbon Design System[1]?

It's an open source design system created and maintained by IBM, with official implementations in React, vanilla JS and web components and community implementations for Angular, Vue and Svelte.

Are there people using it in production, or for serious side projects?

> Why does it gentrify in the first place? Because the initial group of "gentrifiers" took the time and money to develop the area to make it more appealing, thus increasing demand.

Wildly simplistic. The first stage of gentrification involves almost no money and almost no development. It doesn't even really involve much time. It's the result of a demographic shift (and often not a very big one at at that) between the existing residents and newcomers who are willing to trade currently less-than-ideal living conditions for lower costs.
So, I work in an org that has truly sensitive data and this has been a barrier for us more times than I can count, so this is obviously very interesting to us and something we've thought about a lot. A couple questions I have are:

1. How well does Sarus work with data that is not in a database, like unstructured data such as documents/text?

2. How does Sarus handle 'legacy' DB's, where the schema for a table might not be quite right, but due to operational constraints these schemas can't be easily corrected? The canonical example I'm thinking of is date times that have been specified as strings and no one bothered to change them.

3. What kind of language support exists for interacting with the Sarus proxy? Obviously, you have Python support but for large enterprises that might need Sarus oftentimes there are a few languages that are popular internally and all need equal support. I think the comprehensive list of analytics languages in use in large orgs would look something like, [python, R, Julia, Matlab, SAS]. Rust/C++ support would be ideal as well as they're commonly used in Python/R to accelerate hot code. Do you have plans to develop SDK's? Would they be hand crafted or do you plan to develop generated SDK's similar to how GCP does it?

4. Are you moving to get any security certs? Of course you're a startup right now, but I know from experience enterprise orgs will still blindly ask questions like, "Are you FedRamp Moderate/High certified?" (This doesn't even make sense for your sales model and I'm certain you'll still have to answer this question and explain why over and over.) or "Do you have a Soc 2 Type 2 report we can look at?". The orgs that actually need something like this are going to be asking these questions pretty quickly.

5. When I use Sarus, do I have to use your IDE/interface? One of the things I noticed when looking at your demo gifs is there is a lot of use of notebooks, which of course are popular, but you'll be met with a lot of resistance if your users can't use the tooling they prefer (PyCharm Pro / DataGrip plugin to interact with DB's in my teams case).

6. How exactly is Sarus deployed? Terraform? Is it a containerized application? Does it scale vertically or horizontally? Can its logging mechanism integrate with StackDriver, Splunk, or Cloudtrail?

7. Have you proved out the technology with more complex time series data? I'm thinking of sensitive trading data.

8. Do you provide benchmarks for showing that a model trained on a real dataset is equivalent in performance a model trained on the synthetic dataset?

Super cool product and you're in a great position to make a ton of money if you nail the execution and get some large customers!
> The last technological breakthrough was the smartphone.

That's fairly recent, and pretty damned significant. How often are you expecting such society-changing innovations to occur?

Your list of things we don't have that you want is kinda odd. Is there a need for cloned humans? What huge societal improvements do holograms permit? Why is a consumer product with graphene meaningful but the massive innovation in small, powerful batteries not?
I found this one while following the Swedish "if there's war" thread from the Zelensky deepfake post.
Excellent approach! I was actually thinking as I was writing that Wikipedia could be ab excellent source, just producing a graph starting at the actual links within Wikipedia, and then doing the conceptual linkage (using knowledgeable humans to start until an AI develops that is actually able to embody conceptual understanding). Obviously there's IP rights issues involved, but I'd be surprised if a reasonable deal couldn't be made.

No person in their right mind would want to go wandering around the south side of Chicago. That is not a falsehood. It is more complex than politics, but the murderous hell hole part is at least partially true.
I think a more convincing theory for me is that society abounds with "IQ shredders". Sure, we're now living in an era of abundant information, but we're also living in an era of abundant distractions and hazards.
If it doesn't stand a chance it's not viable, right?

What is smallest product we can build to learn something from and iterate with. If you build something too small that no one uses because it doesn't have enough features, then you can't learn anything from it (apart from you need to build more).
You may be able to use a "drip feed" / DNC (direct numeric control) system, where NC code is fed to your machine from an external controller. At a previous company we had a modern PC on the network, with connections to ethernet COM port modules installed on the CNC machines. You'd choose a program for a machine, set up the machine controller to run a program from tape (or somesuch.. it depends on the controller), cycle start.. boom, you're running a large program over the network. It's a very handy solution.

Whenever I stumble into a political conversation with someone who prefers to live in an alternate news reality, I find it effective to not argue back at them, but rather out-flank them: inform them that not only are they correct, but also I read that insert-like-minded-improvised-obviously-ridiculous-nonsense-here and say it with all sincerity ... and then let them respond with "Well ... I'm not sure about that ..." and then insist it's true "because I saw it on Faceboook somewhere" ... and then repeat until they realize they have been out-crazied.
The play store shows a badge on apps with ads, but I don't remember if you can filter on it.
Alas, they do.
Let me offer a diverging perspective:

>we could be doing so much better as a species

...relative to your expectations. If your model of the world (from which these expectations arise) was accurate, it would predict the world as it is, opposed to an ought. Things are not good or bad. They just are. And how we react to this status quo then can be evaluated as good or bad subjectively, and the closer you look at the metrics you use for the evaluation, the more of it will be culture, local, and meaningless in the greater scheme.

If you don't like how individuals allocate their resources, give them a reason to do it differently. Just being sad because in a theoretical instance of our world things could be better, won't close the delta between our is and your ought.

>We need to tax billionaires of everything above 10 billion dollars

this, for example, is based on the assumption that our core problems are derived from an unfair distribution of resources. While you can certainly make that argument, I would strongly recommend you to reconsider wether thats truly the root of our problems - it's not. Try to understand us as a collective organism of nodes that exchange information. Try to understand the underlying systems that drive our behavior. Go deeper. Understand for the sake of understanding. The more you judge with your heart, the more blind your brain becomes, and that won't get us anywhere. Cheers!

Not really. Most of us understand the difference between states and cities. They were trying to head off the argument that you ended up making anyways.

> In the top 20 highest murder per capita cities in the US, 18 are democratic mayor, 1 is a former democrat turned independent (Las Vegas), and 1 is republican (Tulsa).

Jacksonville has a Republican mayor and a higher murder rate than Tulsa (according to this report), so it appears someone's data is off.

This shouldn’t be a political issue.

All these states also have democrats in their state legislature. If we wanted to play this political game most the murders would be come from democrat areas which are the larger population centers aka cities.

I could flip this and point to more burglary per capita in rural areas which tend to be republican areas. Yet for this example its not because they are republicans, but in rural areas you tend have more unattended buildings.

Crime varies a lot based off location. Lets not try to politize these things.

That depends!

Look at the following setup:

First, you pick a cleanup/filter algorithm.

Second, your adversary gets to study your algorithm and hand you a dastardly clever 'coin'. [0]

Third, your algorithm runs, but has access to a second unbiased source of randomness. [1]

Under those circumstances, your algorithm has a chance!

Basically, you use your extra source of randomness to create a secret key; then use that key to encrypt your adversary's bit-stream from their "coin". If your encryption algorithm has 'ciphertext indistinguishability under chosen-plaintext attack' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chosen-plaintext_attack this scheme should roughly work, unless your attacker has exponentially more computing power than you do.

[0] To make the challenge fair, assume that our adversary has an obligation to put at least a bit of entropy into their "coin". Eg by having an unrelated third-party pick an arbitrary bit-stream that our adversary has to transmit via their "coin". How the adversary encodes that is up to them; and they can be as wasteful as they like. They just have to be able to decode it, too.

[1] You have to use that source sparingly to make it a challenge.

If we consider Einstein as a "10x scientist", I for one, I'm glad that society is realising that it's better collectively to increase slightly the performance/achievements of 10 scientists than relying on a single "10x" one for innovation.

Very interesting indeed.
I read that Sarus has been designed with Data Scientists persona in mind.
Would that also be easily solving internal access for other engineering teams. Basically, allowing engineering teams create new features including all the local/staging/production environments sensitive data masking?
Is the Sarus approach also validated by Privacy or Security authorities?
One really major innovation is that we have developed the capacity to do experiments at a massive volume physically, and are just - with the big data revolution - developing the capability to understand these data volumes and translate them into findings.

Whereas science used to be done in a relatively small number of labs, with little communication between countries - there are now thousands of universities and commercial labs in every developed country doing research. And that research uses machines that measure thousands of variables at high speed.

And yet - we still lack the ability to put all this data together. Even the volume of scientific papers published is greater than any individual could keep up with. Their finding are often extracted into databases - for instance in biology a new enzyme would end up in the Uniprot database. But getting from this newly discovered enzyme to a genetically engineered bacteria that makes gasoline is a journey of hops between fields that it rarely happens. Yet.

What I suppose I'm saying is - the progress you talk about in AI and computation has been amazing, but it has much more to give. The next 50 years, should we survive that long, will be another tidal wave of innovation.
Sometimes. But if it does, it starts there.
But the point remains, your method shouldn’t need a full table cached in advance, right? You should be able to use a formula to compute its “effective index”.
Don't worry, they are around, but everybody is so busy with their own stuff, you will not spot them.
Well we are certainly getting further and further from those limits, because we cruised past them in 1970 [1] and it's gotten worse every year. We have the luxury of denial precisely because Earth's reservoirs are so deep we haven't immediately emptied them; we need a few more decades for that.

Whenever I see such articles, I immediately switch to my favorite data collection ref Chicago, to see how crime looks like, lately, in that corner of the States: https://heyjackass.com/
A good example of this is that Utah is highlighted on their map at the top of the article as one of the states with an increasing murder rate. Meanwhile it ignores that the larger cities in the state (like the SLC metro area and Ogden) are far more left-wing than the rest of the state (though probably far less left-wing than a place like San Francisco):

https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/us/ut/salt-lake-city/murd...

Also if you look at the list of cities in the bottom left of my link, a hilarious outlier is the town of Tremonton. Tremonton literally had its only murder in 50 years but since the population of the town is so small it works out to a homicide rate comparable to Costa Rica or Uruguay for the year.

Is the blooming you refer to helping humans and making them healthier and happier though? Or smarter? For the average person in the USA that I encounter it seems like the answer to smarter is a resounding no. And this seems to correspond with the rise of social media in the timeline in my head. Human intelligence doesn’t evolve lower in such a short time period, but the knowledge in that head varies greatly with what you put in it.

> I'd argue that the low-hanging fruit of science has been picked.

I think people always believe that, and people 20 years from now will think the same about today's time. That's because hindsight is always 20/20, as they say. It is difficult to come to terms with the fact that things that seem very simple and obvious might've taken a colossal effort to come up with.
> The last technological breakthrough was the smartphone.

Indeed, already 15 years ago. Hurry up slackers, I want an innovation that literally changes our whole lives every decade please
Perhaps the Genius-creation-rate is the same as it always was, but their marketing value has plummeted? Now, with people like the Kardashians, various populist politicians, ... and the general anti-science, anti-expert that seems to wander about the internet, who looks for or listens to them?

Money, fame (err, notoriety), clicks - this is what matters now. Not sage discussion of physics, math or cosmology. Granted, very very very few people have a 1905 moment but people still publish and try to communicate. There are a number of effective, relatively popular science communicators but man, they're just lost in the noise.
What's distinctly lacking in this piece is a definition of a genius.
This article seems to define it to be an individual that is globally lauded for their scientific/artistic achievements.

I'm sure there is a plethora of reasons why this doesn't happen anymore, it seems to me that this is a good thing, but it's no reason to conclude that we don't have intelligent people anymore.

> Morgan Stanley forecasts that 45 percent of working women between the ages of 25 and 44 will be single and childless by 2030, the largest share in history

2.1 / (1 - 0.45) = 3.82 children per remaining woman, at equilibrium.

This only happens if you marry at, like, 22.

It's entirely reasonable though:

(38 - 22) / 3.8 = 4.2 years between children.

How much would that cost, though? To house them? To send them to college? Therein lies the difficulty.

Perhaps the solution is to simply accept that you will not have the money or the lifestyle you were raised to expect and desire. You will not have a big house, or a new kitchen, and you will not live in California. Your children will share a bedroom and have bunk beds. Your weekend plan will be to barbeque at the park.

It's doable, if you can find someone who wants to do that with you.
fwiw, that's a very time-local judgement of the progress we made. Objectively, as a species, we solved inter-connectivity, high quality media, etc. - the fact that we currently live in a culture where these means are distributed in the name of wealth will simply be meaningless a couple hundred years down the line.
