Your comment doesn't really make any sense. It seems to imply that the DoD rules are backwards and that it's actually the fault of the NSA that the guy leaked this. Which I don't understand.

If he emailed a classified document, there is absolutely no way in hell that was an accident. You are never, ever, ever supposed to put classified information onto an unapproved system. This is like saying, "Oh, I forgot which pedal does which, so I slammed the gas instead of the brakes and killed someone, but it was an accident so I shouldn't go to jail." No, you're definitely going to jail, you 'forgetting' how to drive doesn't mean you didn't ruin someone's life.

(There's a small chance that he could have wrote something classified from his brain into the body of an email and sent it. People don't get sent to jail for this, provided it's a one-time incident. If he's getting charges pressed it was pretty egregious. The term "gross negligence" comes to mind.)

And it really could be that critical. Classified information is classified because it can be damaging. If you leak the names of people spying for you in foreign countries, they might be captured or even killed. How do you "design the system" to allow for that "mistake"?

Finally, the prison sentence lets people know that security is serious. There are many rules and it takes effort to follow them. People get lazy and cut corners when there aren't consequences.
Yeah, it’s funny how most of high school is spent focusing on the “exceptional” solvable cases of nonlinear equations (low degree polynomials, simple trig equations, exponentials) that one can come out with the skewed idea that solvability in nonlinear equations is more common than it actually is. While I understand that it’s important to build up a vocabulary of basic functions (along with confidence manipulating them) I think it is also important to temper expectations with the reality that nonlinear behaviors are so diverse and common that it is an a small miracle that we have somehow discovered enough examples of analytically solvable systems to enable us to understand a rich subset of behaviors!
I can see a normal person falling for this, but in my opinion this person called themselves a scam expert is a scam in itself. The claim that this has only been praise since 2018 is absurd, even if true being four years behind on current practices is making you a no longer expert.
+19.99 EUR and 10-14 days to ship to the US. Not cheaper.

Not to mention maybe another $150 in Uber rides waiting 14 days instead of 1 day for it.

Also Amazon gives me 5% cashback too so that also needs to be factored into all prices.
They are conflating two different issues: Linux' lack of stable binary interface for drivers, and Linux being open source. It's the lack of stable ABI that's preventing third parties from maintaining decent drivers for Linux (plus the lack of economic incentives of course).
Being able to "explain oneself" is a poor metric. Neural networks are not simulated human reasoning systems, they don't work in a way that is parallel to how we would see and explain something. Asking for an explanation is asking for a different kind of reasoning system. Every once in a while there is a "no such thing as tacit knowledge" article - to me this is the dual.

Anyway, IMO is what's more important is demonstrating an AI system can be trusted for the task it's doing (for example by being clear that the data it's predicting on is similar to what it has encountered before), and using the predictions responsibly (like not making a final high value decision based solely on model output). These things are not trivial and areas of ongoing research. But I think they will be more fruitful for developing useful AI vs trying to "explain" something in a way that will satisfy a human checker.

(Also, incidentally, there is work showing that much of explainability - for example feature maps - is just building something that produces output a human wants to see. It doesn't actually or necessarily correspond to how the NN calculated it output)
Hiring, team knowledge, vendor support, there are better things in a researcher lifen than writing interop bindings, community support to review papers,...
Yeah, Causal is fantastic for financial modeling or even probability weighted forecasts. It does feel like the future.

It just needs more… AirTable style functionality to be all on one like Excel.
Effectively, I like the new MBP design for a "work" computer.

But I miss the simple style of the white MacBook for a more "personal" computer where you want a pretty and sturdy computer you can move around the house and lend to your kids.

Plastic was more family proof. Yes you could scratch it but it wouldn’t instantly become ugly. Aluminium is nice and all until it falls from the coffee table and flattens on the edge, becoming both ugly and unsaleable.
I don’t understand how sexing birds isn’t a solved ML problem
Deadliest yes perhaps, but the invasion in Ukraine will be resolved long before the Ethiopian.

Perhaps a controversial take on why this will be so, is that a conflict with half of the population being Muslim and the other half non-muslim has very little chance of a resolution.

Best thing will probably be splitting Ethiopia in two, one half for each.
Wow. That's quite wrong. I was out by at least 1.861674e+22 gorillas. Thanks! Fixed now.
The very least they could have done was to teach clang tidy, as I bet they teach to use clippy on Rust classes.
>I'm assuming builders know what they're doing with network cable these days.

Nah. Two houses ago I couldn't figure out why my ethernet wasn't working. Turns out the builders had wired it up completely randomly, i.e. it didn't go orange-white, orange, green-white, brown... and each termination was different. I had to redo them all.
You know that Putin is the guy that approves killing using Polonium and Novochok, right? Russia also has got labs with all kinds of viruses, which will cause global disaster if they ever leak. Where are these biolabs, BTW? In the center of Kiev? Because that's what they're bombing.
Looks like factorio before trains.
Will have a look at it during the weekend.
Transients. FFT is time-symmetrical, so signals that start because of an event (like a mallet hitting something) have a lot of "nothing audible "above 20kHz", because of the abrupt start. Forcing nyquist limit on such signal alway causes pre-ringing, that breaks causality - you have sound starting before the event happened.

(edit) e.g. bandwidth limited signal with only a single non-zero sample does not represent a rectangular function, but a sinc.

So, FFT is a lie. But very useful one.
Haha, Atlassian do everything in their power for me to dislike them. They killed the only app I was liking from them.
"Not slower to program in" is a cost savings to the business, but let's be honest about that being what it is. It's a cost savings for the business that results in a crummier product for customers. Just like trimming a single tomato from the salad on in-flight meals is a cost savings to Delta. Doesn't mean it's a "better" salad.
You're right for self driving cars of course. Have you seen this paper? I have not had a chance to read in detail yet, but it seems to be looking at direct steering control from video with a NN:

Maybe, how would I know?
Those things are behaviours and information that can be encoded in matter. If the non material thing in dualism is just emergent behaviour, then it’s not adding anything beyond what we already have in materialism.
I was a big proponent of AGI and was looking forward to singularity till I started doing psychs and discovered Non-dualism. Now I believe that we cannot talk about AGI till we figure out what consciousness is. There is a huge on-going debate about consciousness and it's origins. In the Materialist-reductionist paradigm, consciousness is considered to be an emergent property of matter. In the Panpsychist paradigm, both matter and consciousness are considered as fundamental and existing separately from each other. In the Non-dual paradigm, consciousness is fundamental and matter is a created by it. I firmly fall into the Non-dual camp. I don't think AGI will ever have an ego as it is not programmable or evolvable. Ego is a product of consciousness, not vice versa. And without ego, you cannot have sentience.

This is a really impressive project, crazy to see what people can make when dedicated to something.
I love it although it feeds on so much programmers pain. I propose a new keyword myself for exception handling: "oh really?"
The Road Was Long
150 engineers, we do use runbooks.

For any incidents, we can open up the run book to get quick access to kibana queries, grafana dashboards etc that make our process easier while under the pressure

My team currently doesn't have any used services yet though so I'm yet to have used them. That's changing soon though
watchOS uses an Apple flavour of LLVM bitcode as executable format.

GraalVM also supports LLVM IR.
That may be a very uncharitable reply to and about edgyquant, but I'll go with the more charitable interpretation that it's a realistic observation about unspecified others; those who fixate on one or two historic parallels and leap to the conclusion that "OMG this is exactly the same, our realm[1] is 100% for certain going to fall just like Rome in 471!". From an onlooker's perspective, it feels like you guys are pretty much in what used to be called "violent agreement" on Usenet, when flamewars broke out between participants who actually agreed on almost everything, but through miscommunication didn't realise this.

I think if one[2] of you could just a bit more explicitly acknowledge that you are not saying "OMG this is EXACTLY the same, America is 100% for certain going to fall just like Rome in 471!" but only "there are quite a few parallels here, here, and there, so it might well behoove us to keep an eye on this, this, and that"; and/or the other could apply this more charitable reading -- which seems to be the precise point they're arguing -- to what the first is saying, then it looks to me like there really isn't any (or at least, not much) actual disagreement between you at all. Or is it just me that's totally misreading one or both of you?

Hey BTW, thanks for that second more caustic formulation of the saying; hadn't seen that one before. I may, when sufficiently exasperated, use it in future... But there is actually a bit of optimism to it: While you can't cure stupidity, you may be able to at least alleviate ignorance -- one issue and one fool at a time. (After the fool in question has been led to knowledge on issue X, he won't need to think about it for himself any more; while still in general a fool, hopefully he won't, armed with newfound knowledge as he now is, act like one on this issue in the future.)

[1]: Not being an American, "America is going to fall...!" doesn't have the same direct relevance for me, but I can see the same parallels being applied to other realms -- and AFAIK, they have been used like that about lots of nations, since about forever.

[2]: nobody9999? Not sure; possibly getting who is on which side of the argument mixed up since I see only the comment I'm directly replying to on this input screen. Could be the other way around.
> I haven't heard of the psychedelic chemist who had a mental breakdown, I think that's a myth. The biggest risk to mental health for a psychedelic chemist is ending up in prison.

Anecdotally I do know someone who had a psychotic episode on psychedelics and spent awhile in recovery. They eventually did recover, but that did make me wary.

As for your point about doses - low doses are hard on chemicals because you don't know what you're getting. Using mushrooms, well dosage varies wildly per gram depending on what you've picked. It wasn't a point about addiction.

I have had great experiences on threshold doses of mushrooms (and experimented on much higher doses of acid in my past), but I do think a healthy amount of caution is generally good.
Pretty sure the trees would just release captured CO2 back into the atmosphere once they die.
There's a song about that which was popular in the early 90s.

It could be worse, it could be Java. I might be wrong here, but as I understand it: Java’s use of the terms module and package which these days vary depending on context. Once upon a time, you put modules of code in a namespaced package, but then these packages were distributed and run as modules, and suddenly both package and module ceased to have clear meanings - context is required.

Then again, maybe we should make up new terms instead of re-using existing ones. Like Ruby “Gems” or Homebrew’s “Casks”. It’s not intrinsically descriptive, but it is unique and unambiguous. I suppose again it could be worse, we could be talking about “libraries” and “frameworks” while describing “modules” and “packages”.
There are a million other words they could have chosen. I'm harsh on this word because it's emblematic of the problem mindset. Programme at the very least implies some sort of coherence. It's clear to me they think that individuals are choosing to influence evolution through some "programme". If there is coherence in evolution it has nothing to do with the individual.

This could have been a direct translation from Sanskrit and the ideas would still be wrong.
Aruba's Instant On line has AP's that are similarly-priced to Ubiquity's, although they don't have an offering like the UDM Pro.
The article should probably be titled: Talented Chemist teaches students to create a lead filter...

The chemistry teacher will have already solved the problem, and then guided her students through to a solution, then just let her students take the credit.
That is also good commentary on all this stuff.

Makes me want to get the tube radio I scored at the yard sale last year tuned up. It works, but needs caps and an alignment. Maybe this summer.

In this way, I feel fortunate to have experienced those old radios. A good one, restored has a compelling sound that I consider timeless.

It is astonishing! And yes, additive is where the magic is at, at least where I feel one can experience it most directly. Great call on the lantern. That is a compelling experience worth having period.

Thanks for the samples! They are pretty good ones though hearing them through earbuds is a bit different experience. I feel they have a bit more presence when delivered by dual paper cone in a solid cabinet and the pre-emphasis in play. Don't get me wrong though. They are accurate and well produced.

I held a license for a while. May get another one in the future when I really feel that itch. My gear was all older school stuff and it all needed a repair or two. Rite of passage. Contacting the people who set me up on air was the point of it all.
The emergent phenomenon is a pattern in my brain, just as a running a computer program is an emergent phenomenon in a computer.

If the extra thing dualism adds is just behaviours of matter, how is that different from materialism?
Well, they control their hiring, training, and oversight of operations to ensure procedures are followed.

Not to speak to the specifics of the incidents, but "the company is irrelevant because they are distant from the ship" wouldn't wash.

The majority of contract case law has developed from shipping disputes. These are business transactions, not consumer ones, so there is plenty of scope to contract/indemnify out of all sorts of protections.
Take a look at homes in Europe built before indoor plumbing. The plumbing is added to the outside of the house. Doing this in Flint would greatly reduce the expense.

Or at a bare minimum, add a lead-free faucet for the drinking water.
KeyMe are one of the perpetrators of this shady practice. They have vending machines for keys and put them all over the place and then their machines show up when you search for a locksmith. If you call the number their rep will act as middleman to connect you with an actual locksmith and they take a cut.

I've decided I will do my searches through https://www.findalocksmith.com/ which is from the associated locksmiths of America
> Because errors are just return values in golang, and it's not possible to write a linter to guarantee that they're handled

That's true of all types, though. Nothing specific to errors applies there. Spend enough time in Go and that's going to bite you, even when the error interface is nowhere to be found. You've still not made clear what's special about errors that makes the concern about errors, not all types, more than theoretical.

> There needs to be a notion of error handling in the language.

Why? The computer doesn't have a concept of errors either. All the computer offers is different states. What Go could offer is more guarantees around ensuring that you've handled different states correctly, but that has absolutely nothing to do with errors specifically.

Now, humans have a concept of error. Of course. We classify specific computer states as being errors. But since the language and computer treat errors and other states as being the exact same thing, why would that human classification of error magically lead you to start making mistakes that you wouldn't make with other states? That doesn't make any sense.

Here's a thought: Stop classifying those states as errors. Call them "happy fun times". Then you won't have whatever mental hangups around errors that are causing you problems specific to errors. Because, from a technical perspective, errors don't exist. They are entirely a human construct. There is nothing about that human construct that should be tripping you up in the tech.

No, there should not be any special concept for errors. Errors are not special. As far as the tech is concerned, errors don't even exist. What Go could do is improve on state management generally. Applicable to not only states you've decided to call errors, but all other states as well. Anything that tries to improve state management for only what you've decided to call errors still leaves all of the exact same problems dangling for every other type. That is poor design and doesn't actually solve the problem.
It's still zero cost compared to what you would have done without them - copy and paste the code.

That's what zero cost abstraction means - it doesn't mean that whatever you're writing has no cost, it means the abstraction has no extra costs compared to what you would have to do manually without it.
And the real miracle of nature is all that is hidden in "dot dot dot". See "Mama Mia" by Abba et al for more information.
Using Org mode [1] and for example EasyOrg [2] does pretty much that. You can use tags, links etc and filter and sort on text and tags. In the case of EasyOrg you would use the Agenda's List view and for the paragraphs to show up in the Agenda they have to start with TODO (or a custom state, i.e. '* DATA My link number one'). The document preview does not support filtering.

Oh, you are using Phi :) My viewpoint is likewise biased towards desktop and server systems.

Fair point about heterogeneous cores. I suspect those aren't going away. Perhaps the industry should move to a model where threads are temporarily pinned to their core while running SIMD kernels, and re-checking the current CPU capabilities rather than storing the result. That would allow using both AVX2 and AVX-512 depending on which core is active, and doesn't require OS changes (except to OSX which AFAIK still cannot reliably pin threads), right?

I totally agree that AVX-512 is helpful for power efficiency. Without it, I struggle to see how Intel/AMD are going to compete with current/future ARM and RISC-V.
All levels use the same set of palettes. Aside from the normal palette, there are palettes representing various levels of color tinting for pickup/pain/berserk effects, and a slightly green tinted one for the radiation suit.

For all the concern about Flint and lead in the water, I was shocked to learned that despite lead levels in the water increasing, lead blood levels in children were still much lower than a decade earlier. They did increase, but they were still less than half the level in 2006.

The study, which appears in the Journal of Pediatrics, found a decrease in Flint childhood blood lead levels, from 2.33 micrograms per deciliter in 2006 to 1.15 micrograms per deciliter in 2016 — a historic low for the city. The mean blood lead level in 2015 during the height of the water crisis was 1.3 micrograms per deciliter, up from 1.19 in 2014 before the water source switch.

Even in rust you can have compiler bugs.
Nah, I wish it were it that easy. There is definitely more yak shaving involved.

"go mod init" returns the error "go: cannot determine module path for source directory".

"go mod init src/mything/mypackage" creates a go.mod file, but then "env GOPATH=$PWD go build mything/mypackage" says "$GOPATH/go.mod exists but should not" (as opposed to when it isn't there, then go complains "go.mod file not found in current directory")

Note that "env GOPATH=$PWD GO111MODULE=off go build mything/mypackage" does build all the source code.

Most likely I've set the whole project and directory structure up wrong, and it only works by brute force.
Even if it's thrown away there's still value in proving its function, as a proxy for general genetic fitness.
Random genetic mutation did it, and I think our technological progress is running at a much faster rate than evolution. We went from stone tools to submarines and fighter jets in just a few thousand years, the kind of advances biological evolution would take millions or billions of years, or could never achieve at all due to path dependence.
Makes me wonder how many "security" clients the author has. No https, outdated site, 2FA over the phone.

They didn't invent a filter to remove lead (those already existed), they just added a chemical that turns a color when the filter is exhausted.
People bashed Java and .NET Application Servers, it turns out they actually had some cool ideas in them.

Naturally now they have to be packaged and sold as a new revolutionary idea for the newer generations.
