That low latency is an impressive achievement, makes me want to attempt to convert all my old tablets to a real Linux install (no chroot jails etc), but the risk of bricking them is really high. I wish there was some tool to probe the hardware under Android, possibly against a distributed database, to know at least if the device is similar to a more known one (it could be the case among no name cheap Chinese tablets) and if there are chances of success before a blind attempt.
Of course there's cost involved, which is why it needs to be regulated.
Still is? The AI is correlating biological features with self reported race. There are biological differences between people who have different ancestors. Finns are different from brits. The spanish are different from russians. Nigerians look different than somalians. The Japanese look differnet than filipinos.

Race picks specific and arbitrary differences , for example hispanic is a different race in US society but black and white based on skin color are as well, indians and east asians are also one "race".

Ethnicities are not social constructs but race is. The AI finds ethnic differences and correlates them with self-percievied social/racial classification.

"Race" as the evil social construct it is, takes ethnic differences and intrprets them to mean some ethnicities are different races of humans than others as in not just different ancestors but differently created or evolved despite all evidence and major religion saying all humans are one species (homosapiens) that have a common homosapien ancestor.

I thought all this was obvious but the social climate recently is very weird.
I think BOTW, while it has a beginning and ending, is much more open than some other games where you're on a structured path.

However I think it speaks that everyone has a different approach and solution to how they play games. It then becomes interesting to see what they play and how they limit their self.
I think it's in reality all a bit more mundane than the flashy headline suggests.

UFO secrets are not the same as 'alien' secrets. UFO just means that there is a big list of incursions of us air space that are unidentified.

The reason why it should probably stay secret is that a. it makes it possible for adversaries to know which secret-aircraft they aren't able to identify, and b. give adversaries a way to determine which types of vehicles aren't being detected at all.

I get it you people want to believe, and think its aliens, but it's not aliens.
"fluidity" is a made up marketing term (by me) to mean animation.

But I think this animation is important. Bike is a "tool for thought". I think the way that it "feels/animation" is important. Bike's build built from the ground up to support this. Check out the movie or better yet try the download. Typing feels a bit smoother, text slides into place.

And yes it can be turned off. And no it doesn't slow you down, animations are canceled if you type again before they finish.
There are legitimate opportunities to act on the news. For example, I avoided a fairly convincing phishing attempt with my work email due to reading a relevant article in a mainstream newspaper. News can similarly help a person avoid scams and cons.

News also provides common conversational topics with different types of people. A lot of people in business read The Wall Street Journal, and it’s easier to find common talking points with them if I read the news (especially on news about their industry). Similarly, a lot of academics and people in education read The New York Times. Though reading the news isn’t necessary to start a conversation, it’s often an easy starting point.

They could have used a graphics mode, yes. But using regular 80x25 text mode made the game more accessible in terms of required hardware (both graphics hardware and processing power, especially with a "slow" interpreted language like QBasic), which could arguably have been an important factor for writing this kind of demo program. 80x25 text mode was available on all graphics cards including old CGA cards. There was no comparable graphics mode on CGA with the same resolution and number of colors. Their other demo game - GORILLAS.BAS - used EGA graphics instead.
Ask HN: What principles do you follow to design good primitives?
You are right, but who else could be inconvenienced by them if not the customers? The companies? They will push the costs (aka inconvenience) to the customers. So whatever gets done, the effects are felt by everybody - and this applies to everything, yes including "regular laws".
It refutes the part where they said: "No, we can't solve this"
It seems like the reason the researchers in this paper are concerned is precisely that they tried and failed to understand how the ML algorithms are doing this. If they’d discovered that white people have a subtly distinctive vertebra shape the model was detecting, it would have been much more of “oh, we discovered a neat fact”.
Never heard of this. Where would one find such a service?

That is one hypothesised cause for the disparity, social factors in those cases need to be controlled for.

Worth giving it a shot. I haven't tried it, but it looks promising.
Besides Gopher we had WAIS, Archie, and Veronica. There were also sites with multiple directories of text and binary files via (often anonymous) FTP. BBS systems with text clients or even reachable over Telnet or SSH were once popular and some are still available. We also had talkers (and MUDs, and MOOs, and MUSHes) where one could connect to a text-based environment to play games, chat, build the environment collaboratively with others, or some mix of those.

I remember back before my area had a local phone number for any direct Internet access, there were a few choices. One could get SLIP or PPP by calling long distance. There were per-minute toll-free access numbers. One could use a local echo on a dial-up BBS and wait several hours to a few days for the content. We thankfully had a public library in one of the bigger cities that had a web browser (Lynx) set up as a shell on a VMS system via a getty on a toll-free line. Several of us would rent a shell account somewhere, dial into the library, and use the browser to telnet to our shell accounts. Then we could use a text-based web browser, gopher client, WAIS client, Archie/Veronica client, FTP, or whatever from there. If we wanted to download a file back to our desktops, we'd download it to the shell account then use Kermit or Zmodem through the telnet connection back to our local systems.
I can't imagine anyone at 'Amazon Video' actually uses the service, else they'd realise that the UI is horrific...and whole service is terrible. I only have it as its "free" with my delivery options.
Thanks, that's also a pretty key aspect of Bike. Maybe more important than "fluid animation", but I expect hyping up the fluid animation will get more clicks and people can discover the unconstrained text editor after using it.
Unfortunately, that's not quite true. Here's the AMA[1] with a press release entitled "New AMA policies recognize race as a social, not biological, construct".

They discourage using race as a source of any physiological signal. They do allow using genetics, but the relevant situations are the many many ones where genetic testing isn't possible or doesn't yet provide useful signal.

Unaccountable institutions get captured very easily, and the race cult that's swept through our educated class has been a very powerful one.

Curious for the take not of a neuro-ophthalmologist. If they too are stumped, this may be a path to a deeper understanding our visual system.

Simple transformations obviously discernible to us blind computer vision. (CAPTCHAs.) There may be analogs for human vision which don’t present in the natural world. Evidence of such artefacts would partially validate our current path for artificial intelligence, as it suggests the aforementioned failures of our primitive AIs have analogs in our own.

Traders arent taking advantage of the situation. They are doing what they're supposed to to bring back the peg. You are supposed to buy up the stablecoin to restore the peg. The fact that this causes a death spiral is why people keep saying these projects are worthless.

For now, until they decide to "pause" the blockchain like Terra. Stablecoins are centralized and your ability to use them is entirely dependent on the central authority letting you.
There is a kernel of truth in there, I'll give you that. It is hard to extract social sciences from the zeitgeist.

But let's call a spade a spade: this is just another iteration of Marxist epistemological ideas. For Marx, the division between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie was much deeper than exploitation. Bourgeois had their own unsound systems of intertwined knowledge built to benefit their position in society.

Not to be flippant, but that's how forced re-education was morally justified by socialist regimes of the 20th century.

If we assume the computer consumes 200 Watt in average, the electricity price would be something like 0,32 USD per kWh. So probably Germany, Denmark or Belgium.
"This issue creates an enormous risk for all model deployments in medical imaging: if an AI model relies on its ability to detect racial
identity to make medical decisions, but in doing so produced race-specific errors, clinical radiologists (who do not typically have
access to racial demographic information) would not be able to tell, thereby possibly leading to errors in health-care decision processes."
I prefer to buy new and then "use it up, wear it out, make it last". (slogan from WWII era).

My outdoor propane grill is 19 years old and still works OK. I have had one bathrobe for at least two decades according to old photographs. My car is a 1999 model, as is my bicycle. I could go on. I believe this is much better even than buying someone else's used stuff.
How do you get doctor recommendations? How do you know that the recommender was able to properly evaluate the care they received (especially in the presence of not yet solved issues like back pain, and non-issues like "sometimes my nose gets stuffed up" which goes away regardless of what the doctor does)?
> A wise man once told me

Sounds legit.
It's the old normal too.
I suspect this is a "tank vs sky" problem. The article says that the bright areas of bone are not the most important for predicting race. What if it's some features of different hospitals and x-ray setups?

Also did they release their code and anonymized data? If not, it's impossible to tell if this is a bug.

If I got this result in my work, I would check it 10k times over because it defies belief. Even allowing subtle skeletal differences in different ethnic groups, the differences in this case are not in the bone and at least sometimes not visible to the human eye. Unless there is an undiscovered difference in radio-opacity across ethnicities, the result doesn't make sense.
One of the primary ways of identifying possible race from bones in anthropology involved calculating ratio from lengths. Good for an estimate or fallback, but not completely accurate. Removing the density would do absolutely nothing to obscure that method. Any image will allow you to measure ratio of bones sizes.
If there's a large earthquake, what would happen to SF?

- old buildings that do not comply with seismic code because codes don't apply retroactively

- new buildings built on the liquefaction zone

- Millenium tower already has defects even without earthquakes

- some buildings are already sinking

Everything is going to get rekt. SF is a huge house of cards about to collapse.

But they will probably have it better than the guys at Hayward, CA... a town built on top of the Hayward fault line. Why would you do that?

That's not to mention the worsening crime rates, even at the more suburban places. Oh, and the traffic, having nowhere to park your car, having to spend 1 hour in traffic to move 1 mile at peak hours, and seeing the city collapse each time a major conference takes place. And public transport is full of hallucination-haunted junkies that get randomly triggered.

Sounds like exactly the right place to live, form a family and spend all my money. Or maybe not.
Because competitive games are a cesspit. Even games with highly competitive PvE aspects have this problem (MMOs, most notably). Ironically, those are also the games which allow for the highest time investment for the common player. Mostly because everyone is online and anonymous, which subsequently keeps their filters from activating.

By comparison, I've never had a local game of Mario Party remotely as heated as the average experience in a competitive, online game. Not even after Chance Time did the unthinkable.

The downsides of Disney are a little more subtle, too.

>Race prediction performance was also robust across models trained on single equipment and single hospital location on the chest x-ray and mammogram datasets

Sure, it’s possible that bias due to the radiographer is the culprit, but this seems unlikely.
Because (as argued I'm the article), it is generally assumed by most people (or, at least say, most tech workers) in the US that our laws are, generally, "good". That is, unlike, say, laws in China or Saudi Arabia, most tech workers would be OK with a lawful, court-ordered data request from a US jurisdiction. (Related - yes, of course I realize that there are some laws, maybe even many laws, that some people very strongly disagree with, but in balance, I think most people think data requests in the US are to solve "unambiguous" crimes like assault, theft, murder, child abuse, etc.).

With abortion, though, that assumption goes out the window. Many people, especially tech workers in coastal states, strongly believe that laws criminalizing abortion are downright evil. This would be a huge shift in that, for the first time, many of these folks could be convinced that protection from sharing data with the state, even one you think has generally "good" laws, because the idea to share data to prosecute someone for aiding an abortion is so deeply abhorrent to them. For these folks, it's likely this is the first time that the importance of strong encryption will "click" for them, due to them feeling like this is a clear case where legal requests from US law enforcement are unambiguously wrong.
Aren't 1--4 and 6 addressed by the concept of "Literate Programming"?

http://literateprogramming.com

(at least the programmer would explain the choices made)

and I've found that the need to explain the code in a literate mode has resulted in my better understanding the problem and possible approaches, resulting in a successful coding solution.
I would guess a causal chain through environmental factors, given how much archeologists are able to tell about prehisotric humans’ lives based on bone samples.

Bone density, micro fractures and deviations in shape. The mongols had famously had bowed legs from spending a majority of their waking lives on horseback.
I don't trust medical journals or experimental AI research to be particularly scientific so I'll just throw this into the meaningless bin for now.
yep, the case for "enormous risk" hasn't been well articulated. It's been repeated a lot, but of all the problems in medical care, this isn't one of the larger ones.
You get it back eventually

Correct. These exchanges are banks, which are reliant on statistical multiplexing. There is quite literally zero difference between the sets of failure states that "stablecoins" are vulnerable to.

...which makes you wonder: why the cryptographic overhead at all? Oh wait... Because places want to be banks, without adhering to the regulations thereof...
Just FYI, Not everyone feels jealousy like you're suggesting here.

I know I never have. I never understood why people get so worked up about that sort of thing honestly. It never bothered me if someone wanted to date my ex, or if they had some sudden windfall, or are doing well.

But I see some people feel this intensely! I'm sympathetic, IMO, they don't choose to feel that way. But it's funny to me, if I were to walk down the street and see two people, and give each of them $5, it would be all smiles. But for a certain percentage of people, if I gave the person on the left $5 and the person on the right $100, they'd feel worse than when they had no money!
I'm just going to abandon the term race because nothing constructive is going to come from it. It is not contentious that there are various physiological developments among groups of humans.
The game studios like in app purchasing where you get to buy loot boxes and other zero marginal cost goods without thinking about it.

We have a control in the experiment - we have an “open ecosystem” in Android and supposedly a much better browser - yet and still, game developers still choose to give Google the same 30% cut as Apple. Maybe it’s not because Apple is holding the web back?

I tend to not believe unbelievable results in machine learning. It's too easy to unintenionally cause some kind of information leakage. I haven't read the paper in detail though, so their experimentation setup could be foolproof, this is not a critique of this paper specifically.
> We also showed that the ability of deep models to predict race was generalised across different clinical environments, medical imaging modalities, and patient populations, suggesting that these models do not rely on local idiosyncratic differences in how imaging studies are conducted for patients with different racial identities.
* yeah this is convoluted. There are better ways to factor such a function. However the point is that something can be 'pure' but still not a good candidate to be pulled out of context.
I'm a maintainer on wazero. We have two things in progress on debugability, though both are stalled as we complete the recently announced WebAssembly 2.0 draft spec (nearly done) [1].

1. DWARF support - this requires those compiling to Wasm to configure to emit that. It is also murky because there's no canonical mapping in Wasm (most rely on LLVM underneath, but wazero is zero dependencies so we can't do that). Anyway, this is still on the table. [2]

2. Observability hooks - wazero is uniquely go-native which means we can do things like context propagation, allowing telemetry hooks including distributed tracing. While it may not seem intuitive to use that in Wasm, it can allow you to re-use tools that can show a trace graph. We have an experimental listener now, which has an example of how to make some strace looking logs. [3] Later, we'll convert this to an interceptor approach so that you can do metrics and stuff nicer. [4]

Regardless of this, debugging is easier because everything is in go. Apart from the DWARF thing which is totally important, the runtime being in Go completely means you debug everything going on, down to what is allocating memory, just by putting break-points in Go code. This is a very neat thing, and has helped some folks develop better code. Ex. https://github.com/inkeliz/karmem

Hope these help. Indeed the road to wasm is littered with a lot of runtimes, mostly abandoned or archived. We're hoping to buck the trend debugability, so watch the issues below if interested, and feel free to tell us anything we aren't doing right, too.

You can scoff at the belief in Microsoft's explanation, but the lack of any evidence of a backdoor in surfacing in the past 20+ years is factual.
