It's a different story if you are a Chinese national in the US, have family in China, are reporting on China, etc. But for most Americans it probably matters more if Google is sharing your info with various three-letter agencies.
The criticism isn't that anyone expects bug free code, rather that introducing new remotely accessible attack surface to the kernel in 2022 when we know it's likely unsafe is silly. Building an SMB server in the kernel because "well, NFS was secure eventually" overlooks the fact that NFS shouldn't be in the kernel either.
Unfortunately, doing stuff while being subjected to random accelerating forces makes many people feel nauseous, and physical tasks become more difficult.
Those flexible panels you mentioned are around 17% efficient and 50-100W/kg. Cells bonded to a fiberglass structure you're making anyway go around 200W/kg

5% efficient cells only make sense if applying them is about the same cost as paint and in applications like highway barriers or walls.
Funny how the Daily Mail considers this sort of thing to be worth reporting, but the likes of WaPo and NYT are curiously mum on the subject.
> They are very different threats, and should be treated very differently. The FBI and CIA are immune system type systems, where China is a guy with a knife.

This analogy is great, because it's a better analogy than you think. Immune issues kill a LOT more people than knife attacks in the USA every year. In general, external enemies are less dangerous than internal enemies. It's easy to rally people against an external enemy (see the Robbers Cave Experiment in psychology), but much harder to rally people against an internal enemy.

There are 0.60 knife deaths per 100k people in the USA. [1] There are 3.97 deaths for SAID per 100k [2], and that's just the first type of autoimmune issue that I googled for off the top of my head.

Rome faced plenty of external enemies over the years, what actually caused the fall of Rome was internal.

This criticism is addressed right in the beginning:

The foundational discoveries in genetics centered on far simpler organisms such as peas, molds, fruit flies, and mice. To this day, biologists use these simpler organisms as genetic “minimal working examples” in order to save time, energy, and money. A well-designed experiment with Drosophilia, such as Feany and Bender (2000), can teach us an astonishing amount about humans.

The deep learning analogue of Drosophilia is the MNIST dataset. A large number of deep learning innovations including dropout, Adam, convolutional networks, generative adversarial networks, and variational autoencoders began life as MNIST experiments. Once these innovations proved themselves on small-scale experiments, scientists found ways to scale them to larger and more impactful applications.

Umm, not sure you understand. Yes AES256 is good, if you have a great password.

However if you take 1M users, as them to set a 12 character password with A-Z, a-z, and at least one digit you'll find an astounding lack of entropy. I believe this is pretty close to LastPass's master password requirements.

If you take the most popular 1M passwords and attack the master password you'll find that you've cracked them. With a 2 generation old GPU and the default iterations of 5000 (like several people mention on this post) you can try 300,000 passwords a second. So 3+ seconds per vault and you'd crack a decent fraction of them.

Sounds like you're just ill-informed? There are shared washing machine rooms in a lot of apartment complexes, although it is getting more rare in newer apartment complexes. You can usually book a slot and then you do your laundry. There is absolutely no shortage of washing machines though.
It seems like you we’re just chasing by trends. Trends don’t matter that much for an individual. If you focus on being an expert in something that is valuable at all then you should valuable.

> add features to their products that other makers do not have, or do not execute as well

Generically that's true. If we were talking about bananas and Apple's banana's were better than Google's or Facebook's then that's legitimate competition.

But not all features are the same. Some features have secondary effects. The secondary effect in some cases has a competitive overlay. Once somebody starts using Facetime they can't switch out of the Apple ecosystem easily any more. It becomes very hard because you have to convince all the people you normally talk to switch to different apps. So there's clearly a benefit to Apple beyond Facetime being a good application in its own right.

When Apple competes by making Facetime a good product and there is zero friction to choose a different one, and hence users are choose Facetime - that's competition. When Apple introduces friction that stops users choosing a different produce no matter whether it is better or not - that is anticompetitive.

You are correct that Apple benefits from owning the full stack and that allows them to create a "better" experience". However it magnifies the anticompetitive aspect because competitors can't achieve the same experience as Facetime, even if the want. Not because of how much they are willing to invest, how skilled they are etc. Purely because of arbitrary barriers preventing them because Apple maintains proprietary control of the technical means to achieve it.

Thanks for the comment! As far as seeing what the core parts are, I'm really partial to the method where you have a graph network with a really high L2 communication penalty which seems to approach the intrinsic dimension of the problem for certain simple problems. How well that scales to larger problems I have no idea (probably not well, but techniques like variational dropout are pretty analogous in their own kinds of ways). Thankfully with a fast-training network you can play/dork around with the numbers a bit and see what's what.

One could distill the tiny ResNet into a graph network, which with the right constraints could theoretically accomplish the same as the original neural network, and then compress that as small as possible. There's probably an interesting tradeoff in "maximal compression" and "number of iterate rounds" for said graph network. I recently got enough runs (25) and performance difference to have a p=.0014 result or something like that in half an hour for something I was experimenting with against the baseline recently and it felt so good because I wasn't diddling with 5 runs, which in some cases for certain papers take days to finish. It's just a very satisfying feeling.

I guess back to the explainability side of things.... -- that alone I don't think would necessarily provide answers to the explainability problem but I think it would be like a refining-oil type step before diving into the L2-compressed feature representations....
When I was reading Dijkstra's wikipedia page and read that he called himself a programmer I suddenly wanted to start calling myself one.
Nearly everyday starts with me eating porridge with fruit and then a coffee. I then read a portion of the Bible's Old and New Testaments.

After this I pray the Lord's prayer out loud. I normally pause at hallowed be your name and give thanks to God. I generally pray for my family at give us our daily bread.

I then confess to God where I have let him and others down. I then pray for help to forgive others. I have been stuck on the same issue of forgiving one person for several years now. Funny enough I met the person for the first time in a long time today. As we talked I was aware how much my prayers had softened my attitude towards the person.

I then move to considering the temptations I will face that day and ask the Holy Spirit to help me. I often finish by telling the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit I love them.

When the Lord's prayer is your daily practice you learn some deep lessons about the teaching of Jesus and nature of God. You do not start with yourself as the focus. You begin with the Father and the work of his kingdom. You then move to yourself.

I say yourself but I normally pray Our Father, Our daily bread, not My Father, My daily bread. I do this to remind me I am praying along with all God's people.

After this I get washed. It will now be about 8am. It would take more posts to discuss the rest of the day.

What is the optimal size of a bet? This is called "Kelly bet". Even before Black-Scholes came into existence, Edward O. Thorp, a billionaire mathematician, figured out the innards of Black-Scholes strategy and made money for himself using Kelly strategy.

If you invest in some stock, and if that stock is moving in your favor, you should increase your bet or leverage more. If your bet is moving against you, cut down your bet size. That's what experienced traders do--just reduce your position by 50 percent; inexperienced/retail traders tend to increase their position, when things go against them.

Yes we are incorporating into Graphistry as part of how we help sec/fraud/misinfo/crime/etc analyst teams investigate their data. Our platform does all sorts of GPU visual graph analytics & graph AI once data gets loaded in, and as part of our visual playbooks automation layer, this helps users make automations and fancier queries. Think Splunk, Spark, Neo4j, ... .

IMO tough question of who can do codegen as a scalable standalone startup, but that's ok. Pretty darn easy & useful for many productivity platforms like ours where it's just a super nice feature as part of delivering a broader magical experience.

Related: we are hiring a k8s/pydata person, ideally who has need a user & builder of investigation platforms, as we are working w co's like Nvidia to bring this kind of thing to some pretty major enterprise & gov teams. See gdoc linked on our careers page.

Anecdotally, as a Principal Data Scientist, I'm getting a lot less recruiter spam than I did a year ago. Though I think that's probably something that's affecting everything in tech as the industry as a whole takes their foot off the gas.

At the entry level, I'm sure there's more competition for fewer spots.

I think the new generative AI models are absolute game-changers and will only get better. If I were starting out, I'd focus there.
Interested in how that will pan out. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the subject matter or I would definitely give it a shot.

And if you hack this to the point where it is explainable then that in turn might generalize to larger networks and/or different problems.

We could. We really could.

We could make a law today that forbids the construction of new fossil fueled plants. We could make a law that said that by 15 years the national grid will not allow the use of fossil fuels to stabilize the grid when demand exceed supply, and that by then people will either have to live with power outage or creating storage that match capacity with demand.

What we can observe in the world is an significant and continued increase in fossil fuel capacity, and energy politics being dependent on fossil fuel costs. Even in country with way over 100% wind capacity like Denmark, they still can only consume about 40% from wind. The remaining 60% comes from other sources like imports that are directly linked to fossil fuels. Getting those 60% to be generated from storage would be a major victory.

> They are generally expensive.

For the foreseeable future, electricity storage will stay expensive when you compare it with fast to cycle natural gas generators. This will only change with a carbon tax or after we consume most of the natural gas available on Earth (looks like it would take 2 or 3 decades on the shortest predictions).

That applies to any kind of electricity storage.

Compared to the alternatives, pumped hydro is currently a cheap highly efficient storage. It gets the best qualities of synthetic fuels (low cost) and batteries (efficiency). But it's not available everywhere. Things are changing fast, and I do expect pumped hydro to not be competitive when we fully deploy storage, but it's currently the best option you will see.

Wait, so his bail is also "funny money"? Did he just FTXed the US government? LOL!

Can't wait to read Levine's take on that.
SBF and his parents are on the hook for the full amount, two other sureties for lesser amounts.

Personally fleeing doesn't really matter, because signing as a bail surety makes the court itself your agent for service of process, and default judgement is automatically available. (They do have to provide a copy of notices at the sureties last known address, but they don't have to actually serve notice on them.)

Now, if all the assets of SBF and his sureties are out of reach of the US government, that would be a problem.

Oh no! Someone's wrong on the internet!

No, you can't infer how much someone knows about a topic, at least from the discussion here. You can infer they know something different than you do. That happens when you get a modern-day Republican and Democrat in the same room, and each believes the other to be an idiot. The same happens if people are from different countries, cultures, or hold different values.

Groups develop groupthink, with a common set of information, logic, and conclusions. It's natural to assume anyone who doesn't share those is an idiot. My own experience is that they're often not idiots, and if I go in with an open mind, I often learn something (and quite often, we both do), although that's been harder with recent political polarization. Nowadays, discussions usually shift to people calling me an idiot if I don't line up 100% with their worldview. It's been rarer and rarer to have intelligent discussions.

Perhaps my conclusions were wrong. They often are; on average, we're right about half the time in discussions, and that's fine. Perhaps yours are too. Perhaps we're right in different contexts (we might live in different countries, for example).

However, where you took this discussion, neither of us has any chance of discovering what the other's opinions were informed by. If you doubt something I'm saying, you can ask for evidence, rather than assuming and insulting. Perhaps each of us might have learned something.

In either case, that's as far as I'm willing to take this discussion. I nerd on topics like these for fun. Getting insulted is tiring and draining rather than fun. You're welcome to believe I'm an idiot.

I propose we terminate this discussion. People are welcome to be wrong on the internet.
I want to back this up too, unless all reports are wrong, it was recommended for a long time that the operators of Fukushima put the generators on the roof, they didn't and this is the outcome.

This is an interesting presentation on at least two fronts.

First of course is the overt discussion: what is the likelihood of intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe, and are humans alone or not.

The second strikes me as potentially more interesting: What are the bounds of knowledge and understanding in the face of little direct empirical evidence?

I've spent the past few years listening to several podcasts on philosophy, most notably Stephen West's "Philosophize This" and Peter Adamson's "The History of Philosophy (Without Any Gaps)". The many failings of argument, and in particular appeals to emotion and optimism (not unknown in other domains here on HN) is a large part of that.

Much of both is consumed with epistemology, logic, truth, knowledge, and many (many (many (many (many)))) religious debates. Those too, read at face value offer one level of understanding, but taken at a deeper level concern what do we know, what CAN we know, and how should we best act under circumstances of partial or zero knowledge?

There's a third level which occurs as I write this: much of the interesting work over the past 50--75 years or so in physics has revolved less around new elements, particles, and forces (the major component of physics through the first half of the 20th century), and far more on sensing and detection methods, both direct and indirect. These have allowed us to extract a phenomenal amount of signal and information from immensely distant, faint, and subtle phenomena.
