More likely, I think it's that the first principles approach they have used to find this optimisation has applications in domains far outside of optimising matrix multiplications.

Only because the Google paper crossed their desk did they even think to try it on matrix multiplications.

And then more or less by luck, it happened to turn out to be slightly better. If it had produced exactly the machine learning algorithm, it would have been less interesting.

The speed of the response makes me feel that the authors are extremely good at their domain, and that finding this algorithm was a reasonably trivial problem for them. The slowness of the follow up paper, I believe is that the authors understand that their mathematical domain is wildly far outside of what most people can easily understand, so they're going to take their time to write it up well, instead of drop a whole bunch of maths definitions that nobody else in the world understands.
It's the same old story of perfect being the enemy of good (plus clear ulterior motives for Apple).

Adding RCS compatibility would negatively impact precisely zero iPhone users, and would positively impact literally everyone (including iPhone users!).

RCS may have its warts, but I do not see Apple proposing a better standard? Everyone agrees SMS/MMS is about as bad as it can be... and there's already a lot of industry buy-in outside of Apple for supporting RCS.

Get with the program Apple...
Per se defamation establishes that harm has occurred whether or not it is specifically proved. I was going to well-actually the same comment you did, and instead bided my time to well-actually the predictable response.

At any rate: per se defamation isn't at play in this case.
yeah zero value question. empty assertions of complexity and complication with faux modesty of just asking questions.
Is one data point enough? Col Sanders was 65 when he founded KFC.

As I see it, you have solid past experience and secure financial foundations. So the question is really more about motivation. If you still enjoy programming and the selling process a business requires to re-start, then why not?

Are there other persons involved? Family or friends who are trying to talk you out of it? Is there something else that you are equally interested in exploring? like traveling the world, starting a different hobby, moving away from SF, etc?
> There is a long history of humans using intimidation to get their way

Indeed.

Even if AI got to the point of perfectly passing every expert-level Turing test your degree of rigor as to what "thinking" is would never truly permit any belief of AI having struck the golden nugget of intelligence.

Imagine if we were all self-replicating computers, and certain members of this silicon race began experimenting with making creatures with carbon macro-molecules to create organic intelligence, you could make the same claim in the other direction:

"There has been no step-change advancement in Organic Intelligence in, perhaps, 50 years. All we see today is a product of cell count, in neurotransmitter chemistry able to compress TBs of experiences into c. 300B neurons."
Except there is no singular "other employees' deal" — each non-union employee has their own contract.

Do you think Apple made everyone individually negotiate for these perks? Or did they just give the perks to all non-union employees because they think it'll prevent other stores from unionizing?
It is a great sign that we are building AI in the right direction. Before building artificial human intelligence, it makes sense to get to the intelligence level of a mosquito or fly, then go to more intelligent animals in later iterations.

As most of the human knowledge is encoded in videos, getting better at understanding / generating videos will clearly get us closer to make computers understand the world.
I won't defend LinkedIn, which always seemed useless to me. Recruiters and employers pay the bills at LinkedIn, so naturally the profiles and CVs get optimized for those customers. Get off LinkedIn and do the work, either finding good people for your company, or finding a good job.

I will take issue with the idea that "skills" and "mission" have more meaning or value when matching people with jobs, compared to experience. When companies recruit they look for people who can add value to their business and work as an effective team member. A track record of adding value and getting along in an organization tells a story. "I know Rust" does not.

No company goes out looking for someone who can write 2,000 more lines of Javascript next month. And interviewers generally don't care about what "missions" or career goals candidates might have. What they want are people who will contribute and not cause trouble, because the mission comes down to "make more money" (or "attract more investment capital") regardless of whatever high-minded ideals the company fluffs out their Mission Statement with.
In my experience nvidia with nouveau is slower than Intel with its free driver.

Companies don’t kill things that have support contracts and enterprise agreements.

Look at GSuite. What’s been killed?

Fuck even apple won’t kill the orphaned MacBook Pro with touchbar for support contract reasons.
Though not legally mandated,telecom providers in India insist on tying the SIM to the Indian biometric ID called Aadhar. Each ID can be associated to upto 9 SIMs.
I read the blog post with delight. I have been waiting for this change for a long time. I opened HN comments to join in what I thought would be a celebration, and I was surprised to find dismay. It never occurred to me to encourage my friends to use Signal for its SMS compatibility, (which isn't even supported on iOS). The whole advantage of Signal is its security, and I hated having to recommend an app that is secure, except when it's not.
The poster is wholly correct in observing that Alex Jones has a disproportionate number of defenders here. Usually a busy thread might collect 2 or 3 flag-dead comments, this one has 23.
Spot on! We are building our own cages simply because we don't personally know the victims.
Yeah, that's why I said most. I seem to like the smaller/simpler games now. Table Top Racing was a fun one for me - Forza meets Mario Kart.

From the perspective of being that close to being fried, or with respect to the acceleration?

To be honest though, I still think it’s amazing that people casually handle extremely flammable and volatile hydrocarbons whenever they visit the gas station. The safety ecosystem is very well tuned, albeit after a hundred+ years of accidents and research.
And the PIT airport is under construction with passenger areas being replaced with removal of the mini-train. I hope they didn't pay for this green washing demonstration.
Sure, but it also feels slightly pretentious. Is representation in PR what the community wants? Why not actually uplifting the community such that artifical representation isn't necessary?
Does it matter? If you fail you'll still have had fun.
This makes all of the interactions look like interrogations. What am I missing?
With the SE (and regular 13 & 14) having not-that-great 60 Hrz displays, I could never switch from my 13 Pro to anything else but a 14 Pro (that's why my second phone is a Pixel 6 Pro [or sometimes a OnePlus 10 Pro], as 120 Hrz & 1440p are requirements for a phone to be in my pocket).

I used to have a SE (2nd Gen), prior to ever experiencing a better display, and now I can never go back,

However, if the came out with an SE that did have 120&1440p, I would definitely buy.
"Greece inaugurated a 204 MW solar farm in Kozani, in the country’s Western Macedonia region, which has long been Greece’s largest coal-producing region. Kozani is the largest solar farm with bifacial panels in Europe and the largest utility-scale solar farm in southeastern Europe."

Glad to see Greece gets it. Would be great to see a lot more countries being added to the list, of running on just renewables, even for a day.
Second this. After spending several years of full time just troubleshooting others web apps I can say that not only are database locks in 99.99% of the cases the real bottleneck but also that developers in general are quite bad at managing databases and will try to micro optimizing just about anything before looking at their DB queries.

> If nutjob A makes a defamatory statement about you, but doesn't tell anyone to do anything, and then nutjob B harasses you after hearing what nutjob A said, nutjob B is the one who is legally responsible for the harassment. Nutjob A is responsible for the defamation, but not for what other nutjobs might decide to do.

Courts and jurors are completely fine with finding that the behavior of nutjob B (and C and D and E and F) that are predictable from the defamation are part of the damages associated with the defamation.

So, yes, nutjob A _does_ have legal liability for the damages caused by nutjobs B and C and D and E and F that are a predictable consequence of the defamation.

The law does not require "direct evidence" of the connection to every instance of harassment. It requires enough evidence that a jury can decide a "but for" causation is more likely than not. Jurors are perfectly capable of making deductions and inferences such as "person A with a massive platform lied repeatedly for years", and then "hundreds of nutjobs harassed plaintiffs based on the same lies", connecting those two facts, and deciding that it's more likely than not that the nutjobs wouldn't have harassed the person if not for person A's lies.
It's worth noting that Intel has been stuck at a single tick in the processor cycle for... 7-8 years now?

Interestingly, Mac sales are up 40% recently. So I guess a lot of people actually do care -- they just want in on the best laptop processors out there, which are decidedly not offered by Intel.

With no good Windows support for ARM, I'm curious what trends we'll see over the next few years for PCs. Will they languor in their current state, using Intel's hot n' heavy processors? Will some manufacturers switch to ARM + Linux solutions to offer battery life and heat generation competitive with the Mac?

If this were from a startup, no one would be saying the same, but because it is Google, folks want to ride the bandwagon.

Microsoft has cancelled thousands of products, but nobody says a thing.

Yet the number of hardware products Google has cancelled you can count on 1 hand.
GP also said they want to be able to search their chat, however, which I believe is the source of the confusion.
Jones lawyers attempted to claim that the Sandy Hook parents were in fact public figures (again, this is all mooted by Jones eventual default of the defamation cases themselves; the conduct standards we're talking about apply pretty much entirely to the question of whether you're culpable in the first place, not what the damages are.)
> It's the only motor sport left where the attendees can go into the pits and watch the mechanics at work.

Definitely not true. We walk the pits every time we go to an IndyCar race. And of course we do the same at the lower level SCCA-level stuff. Trying to think the last time we couldn't get a pit pass and coming up blank.

I agree. It's possible to point out the clear limitations of current AI without being oblivious to the huge, indisputable advances that have occurred.

People thought it might take centuries for a computer to defeat a top human in Go. Then deep learning showed up and a few years later it's the opposite.

A lot of the things deep learning methods are doing now are things no one had any idea how long research would take to achieve, or if they were even possible.

Personally, I think we are currently hitting some walls that might take a while to climb before we get to AGI, but I am very impressed at the recent progress.
$815k a day? Wow. I would’ve never thought that Infowars could make so much money. I’ve seen some others in the thread mention Jones’ millions, are his financials available? I thought he’d lied and obfuscated them in order to go bankrupt.
It's very frustrating that there's no actual article to read, just an abstract. No SciHub access either. What kind of discussion are we expected to have here, other than questions about what the article would say if we could read it, or a referendum on whether we like labor unions or not?
I agree.

I'm still confused, but I hope this is correct. IIUC the problem here is that they do something like

(a // b ) * b

where // is the integer division. They are not breaking all math operations, just math operations that have a very specific pattern.

Also, I'm not sure if it's important that 128 <= b <= 255, because the main problem seams to be they are extending a number and the leading 1 in the binary representation is a problem (???).

So you must test a very specific math pattern, with very specific numbers, and then hope that other parts of the optimizer don't optimize the problem away before the bug in the compiler makes a mistake.

I don't know too much about the automatic test suit in Haskell, but I know more about the automatic test suit in Racket. In Racket there are a lot of test written manually, and some randomized test, and also tests for many of the packages. But I really doubt there is a test somewhere for this specific case.

[Is there a cross language regression test collection? Something that collects weird cases, so other languages maintainers can take a look, translate the code and add it to the tests.]
There's nothing about this particular route (SF to LA) that would preclude a high speed train.

The mistakes were: capitulating to interests whose use of the system will be small and negatively affects the majority of riders, and the belief that anybody will ever be able to get a train from San Jose to SF in less than half an hour.
"GitHub Pages" is presumably in the title as a hook, but in TFA the author notes that this will work for any statically-hosted website.
Omg no it doesn’t. You know damn well that some random streamer or podcaster isn’t the same as some of these heavy hitters of insanity.

And even ignoring that then YES, YES they should be held accountable if they are knowingly spewing falsehoods and stirring up people and it causes shit like that.

“Free speech” != “I can be a total fuckwad and say whatever so want without any repercussions!”
it absolutely worked.

the pentiums were a huge leap from the amd 386/486 and cyrix options. 'Intel Inside' was basically a premium-product differentiator for those that could afford it, and that was well understood by consumers at the time.

Ferrari/Gucci/Armani/Rolex/Louis Roederer labels also help to push product. Same phenomenon, people didn't buy Intel strictly because it was needed for specific workloads, they bought it because of the fancy sticker that differentiated their product from cheaper alternatives; even if the person didn't know thing-one about computers or CPUs.

It sounds corny, but having lived through it I can vouch that things are really that stupid.
Apple can't provide assurance that browsers are secured, but they allow for iMessage in browsers.
Can you link said industry repair report? I've not heard of such a thing.

I know you want to write my experience off as "bad luck" but I had several high-end Android phones with serious hardware and/or software issues before I made the switch.

I really wanted to like Android but I also want a phone that works. :/
As someone who was on the internet by age 12 and was coding by 15 I see this argument and can't help but shake my head.

If you want your kids to grow up with zero street smarts or ability to distinguish threats then sure. By all means keep them locked in their bedrooms till 18 too.

Don't be surprised when they stop talking to you by age 21.
> 1. Google does not have a solid track record of killing things…95% of them are just consolidated into other areas

Public opinion still stands, they now garner a reputation of “won’t support for long, might kill” on new products they launch. You can’t even trust their owns comma - a month out of Stadia being axed they were talking about how they were going to continue supporting it.

> Google is an absolute giant in corporate communications via G-Suite.

Email and stuff, sure. Video conferencing, less so.

> Google delivers legendary levels of hardware support for their Pixel devices, the absolute best in the Android ecosystem

Is this a joke? Their hardware support is lacking, and the fact that it’s the “best of the Android ecosystem” says a lot about the quality of that sector. Basically every time this topic comes up on the pixel and Android subreddits, users who have those phones bemoan googles lacking and inconsistent support.
The Moon May Have Formed Just Hours After Earth Collided with a Protoplanet
Why is the answer not to force interoperability? This is exactly what we should be doing because it's generally good for the communications ecosystem and the overall marketplace.

It's not an answer to the problem of teenagers having to learn decency, but I'm failing to see a downside to taking Apple to task on this.
> a couple of years back

Sure feels like it; don't dare look at a calendar.
I would like to use a Google-free phone.
However, online banking apps (e.g., N26) require you to have a mainstream phone (Android/iOS).
You can't have root access, since apparently those banking apps won't work then.
You need to have a SIM card as well, and you need to identify yourself when purchasing one.
I really hate all that.
At this point, I dream to live without smart technology as much as possible.
Living mostly with "dumb tech".
"Smart" ain't smart for us, it seems, it is for the benefit of those companies (e.g. Samsung TV's).
More control, I suppose.
Can you install uBlock Origin on a Samsung TV?

Furthermore, Samsung phones come with bloat, and you can't even remove them easily.
I expect this will be shut down a year after the people working on it get their promos.
DoS attack against Diffie-Hellman protocol
Who is affected?

Websites, mail servers, and other Transport Layer Security (TLS) dependent services that support Diffie-Hellman key exchange using ephemeral keys (DHE cipher suites) are at risk of the DHEat attack. Services using other cryptographic protocols can also be affected.

* Secure Shell (SSH) services support Diffie-Hellman key exchange methods.
* Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) services offer DH groups.
* OpenVPN servers support Diffie-Hellman key exchange in the control channel (DHE TLS ciphers).
For anyone like me who is NOT a big fan of Sagan's non-fiction: I've just read his novel, Contact, expecting not to like it, but actually thought it was great. His language is less flowery in the novel than it when he was appearing on TV.
> A lot of teenagers would rather be dead than uncool.

and the more we push this culture-magnified story about teenagers, the more this will might approach actually being true. An awful lot of teenagers would much rather be uncool than dead, actually like their parents, don't find school terrible and so on. But for some reason, our culture has been spinning a yarn about them for decades now that both stands in opposition to the truth, and has simultaneously reshaped it.
Bad take. Wear ear protection. Problem solved.
Automated theorem proving is the same problem as “complete and label the diagram”, which image generation is okay at.

Work in progress for sure, though.
Aside: what's on with the name of the algorithm? -- does it stand for something?
If they've managed to embed the video collector at eye height or close, so the effect of looking at the screen is to be seen as looking at the other person, this is in itself useful. If it's still a non-eyeline camera and they do some adaptive smarts to make it "look" like eyeline I'd be interested how good that is.

If they have leveraged peppers ghost and like techniques to make a volume appear to be "occupied" then it's possible this also helps with hinting to presence. I've seen some art displays which sort-of did this. It was remarkably pleasant to sit opposite people who you sort-of knew were not actually in the implied volume behind the screen.

The influence of delay on perception of "there-ness" is huge. I would be interested how good this is at adjusting for unremovable lightspeed delay inter-continental. Not to over do it, it wouldn't surprise me if this works in SFO to NYC but works less well SFO to LHR or SFO to SIN.

I tend to assume "applied ML" is marketing speak but its possible the investment in time to tune some net has made an FPGA cheap to deploy to do one job, and do it well, and over time be (re)tuned to do it better. This isn't welcome to new robot overlords, its just sensible use of technology to improve.

I could see anything which does image processing like this also be applicable for people with persisting tic or tremor issues. It might help with stabilising image for their remote participation in online stuff.

I totally prefer this kind of application of smarts, to what Meta are doing.
(employment rate) = (employed people) / (total people)

(unemployment rate) = (people not currently working, but actively looking) / (total people)

The first includes all people, the second excludes those not working, but also not looking.
It's weird how this seems really exciting and yet the fact that it's a google project leaves me assured it will go nowhere, and therefore it's hard to take much of an interest in. Same as that cool automated phone call AI they demo'd a few years ago.

Cool, but not likely to go anywhere in Google's hands.

Product-wise, have they succeeded with anything in the past 10+ years? Chrome is from before then. Android is from before then. Google Maps, Search, and Gmail are all from before then. I guess the Pixel was successful. Seems like everything else is incremental technical improvements of existing product lines.
Geez I wrote everything wrong

a company that has low profit and many employees is a lot more beneficial for society than the opposite
sowbug has a more detailed answer, but the TLDR is the PBKDFs were consider ok a long time ago before the security implications were really understood. Essentially they're low entropy in practice (e.g. a person _could_ make a 10+ word password, but they're not going to for a password they have to enter frequently).

You're much better off using the password to a truly random key, though that of course immediately raises the question of how you store the true key :D Modern systems use some kind of HSM to protect the true keys, and if they're super integrated like the SEP (or possibly the SE, I can never recall which is which) on apple hardware they can simply never expose the actual keys and only provide handles and have the HSM encrypt and decrypt data directly before it's seen by the AP.
42799 karma, but you should have seen all his other throwaways.
Why can't the password manager kill your account? I am not advocating for google, just asking about the other solution you are relying on.
