I earned myself a ticket years ago, driving along the interstate. Dumb kid driving way too fast. Had a radar detector too, so the "confirmation" from the hidden cop under an overpass didn't match the plane's reading. They "split the difference" and still gave me a nice sized ticket that was tough to pay for.

My grandfather summed it up pretty solidly: "No matter how fast you go, you can't outrun radio".

It is a scam - on multiple levels - first you get credit monitoring, but to the companies, it's a sales lead to try to sell you more of their protection / reports. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to your credit score.
Second, if a financial institution lent money to someone pretending to be me and this damages the rating these credit bureaus assign to me, why do I have to get involved? We have, as a society, let these companies get away with making us believe their lack of due diligence is our fault.

> Possibly pretty survivable in the short term as long as a nuclear warhead doesn't go off very close to where you are. Just because you're in a major city doesn't necessarily mean you're a high priority target. (In nuclear war, there are what is called a "counter-force" strategy where you target military bases, and a "counter-value" strategy where you target things with the highest value to the defender like cities.)

Though counter-force requires so many warheads, that if you're doing that it wouldn't be hard to do counter-value as well. I read somewhere that a single sub's worth of warheads is enough to implement a credible counter-value strategy.
Well, you keep a record obviously, just not full data.

In a broker scenario, the company would access it as and when needed, on a permission basis. The cool thing about such a model is that if and when you move, change phone numbers, employment, etc, you'd only have to update it in one place!

Calling T-mobile’s security “ludicrous” would be a compliment.

> I think nuclear war is survivable if you are in a good location and already prepped to survive 2+ years on your preps and have the means to grow all your own food and are in a solid community that doesn't go bonkers after shtf.

If that's the criteria, it's survivable by practically no one. I mean, there won't be any "solid communities" left if you need 2+ years of stored food to survive, since practically no one has that.
Quite dystopian if you ask me. Is it not enough that there are police officers and speed traps on the ground, now you have to fear to be watched from the skies all day as well?
I don't think it's reasonable to represent our brains as similar to that of artificial neural networks. They don't work the same. And the metaphor ends up being unfair to both the human and the mathematical and engineering accomplishment of an ANN.
In my opinion, we're kind of just going in circles. Yes, we as engineers don't have a full understanding the "overall" and "high-level" value of the work we do. 100% true. But, our value is at a smaller level. Is the feature we created going to meet the project's (and the company's) goals or not? (as we understand them)

Requirements gathering has always been apart of software engineering, and actually, we're usually a necessary part of creating that spec. As we all know, a business person has a vague idea of what they want and they work with a technical person to see if this possible or even a good idea). We try to create the right solution given our understanding of the goals of the project and feature. The value again is smaller.

...Although, I do see your point, it can be easy as the technical expert to start giving opinions on things that aren't your responsibility (like marketing strategy). Maybe you've gotten hit by this before? (this is always touchy subject, but I've definitely been scapegoated for problems in the past, never fun). But still, typically, tend to find that the business person is ultimately in charge of the business decisions and I'm responsible for the technical ones.
What behavior do you suggest this explains?
Fairly neurotypical person here. I tripped up on the ‘it’ pronoun, too.
Hmm I would love for someone else to give their opinion because I find it very interesting but don't quite understand it yet. The way I see it, at the very beginnig the transformer has a large number of choices for numbers a, b that allow it to solve the problem. If there is randomness present then it will (pseudo-)randomly choose a pair a, b, with the intention to write ab,a,b

After writing the first digit of ab, as I understand it wanta to recover its features by doing the same operations as before on the past sequence. But as the computation of the features is non-deterministic, it can't arrive at the same pair a, b.

Let me try to specifiy a more difficult task for a tranaformer with randomness:
I want you to generate exactly three numbers in the form c,a,b where a and b are prime numbers with 250-300 digits and c=ab. I want these numbers to be randomly chosen with a distribution so that the range of primes 250-300 is approximately uniformly covered.

Suppose now a transformer has uniformly picked a and b and generated the first digit of ab. Let's in fact say it has already generated all the digits of ab. If the transformer has weights that make it now successfully print a, b (say with probability > 0.99), then you have constructed a method of factoring products of prime numbers in the 250-300 digit range, i.e. you just initialize the context window with the desired number 500-600 number ab to be factorized, and let the transformer do its work.

I.e. such a transformer has to be computationally powerful enough to factorize large prome products with >0.99 percent accuracy.

On the other hand an RNN or a human both with randomness can solve this task without having to be computationally powerful enough to do the factorization.
For me a breakthrough was realizing that I don’t have time to do everything I might like to do. So I have to let go of some things. I’m not one to naturally let go, so this was a hard shift.

It has also helped me to write down my project ideas or goals on 3x5 cards and save them. That gets them off my mind while saving the idea or any key details for (potentially) later.

They can already get probable cause from a helicopter pass.
Here I am not talking about computational power in this "absolute" sense but in the sense that a model A is fundamentally worse at doing a task than a model B if model A requires factorizing large prime numbers to solve it while model B doesn't.

So when I say "possible" or "computationally feasible" I mean that the orders of complexity of various tasks might be unnecessarily high without a hidden state. One can then go on to construct examples where this really makes the difference between "practically possible" and "practically impossible for any alien computer of the size of earth".
Or substantial social changes. Rents and other costs would presumably need to change if this affected a majority? Edit: what I’m pointing to is that hunger is often in the context of sufficiency.
Are you sure of that? Rights attributed generally to "the people" in the constitution can be limited from being enjoyed based on immigration.

For instance, "the people" have the right to keep and bear arms but god help you if you're here irregularly or on a tourist visa and do not meet one of the exemptions. Sure non-immigrants are persons but federal law doesn't give a fuck.

Symbolics veteran here...

Ahh, fond memories.

Indeed, we had a Foonly. I don't know the model number, but it was a single rack unit. We used it as a server, software development, SUDS electrical CAD, etc.

And yes, it's name was "pos". That was never meant to be particularly nasty; more like an optimistic end-of-an-era kind of thing.

And I have to say, it was pretty reliable. I can't remember it ever dying.

At least two early Symbolics folks were involved with Foonly, so I assume this was a prototype unit obtained in some deal.
Also played Eufloria a long time ago and there was another game that had similarities called Galcon which maybe had more in common with RISK. The developer had Galcon Fusion and Galcon Legends on Steam back then which I think supported multiplayer yet were largely singleplayer, but they were removed from the store after they released Galcon 2 which is aimed at cross-platform multiplayer.

The Japanese market crashed precisely because of excessive government intervention, not a lack thereof. It was heavily manipulated by Japan's own central bank, which worked well initially, but they were eventually pressured into liberalizing by the US and it went downhill from there. Sure, one could argue they should have doubled down and they probably could have kept it going for another decade or two. Eventually though these systems always collapse, planned economies do not work. Look into the term "window guidance" to learn more about what they were doing.

The US isn't doing anything on the scale Japan was doing but it's still less of a free market than it used to be. Keep in mind also that the US doesn't exist in empty space, the factories where American products are made are located in places like China and there are heavy financial links to this country that follows the exact strategy Japan had, with even more centralization and state ownership actually. This is also part of the US economy now, you can't just ignore that. It's a risk for the US economy, even some of the elites that heavily invested admit this now. Take Soros as a very late example.

One project that's pushing on the boundary of safety and composability is Thesus, which takes language safety to new ground by shifting traditionally OS-level responsibilities like resource management all the way down to typechecks in the language, and also explores a way of updating any core OS component on a live running system. https://github.com/theseus-os/Theseus

There's also KataOS which google just recently announced: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2022/10/announcing-kataos-...

>While scary, this does make it less likely for a major nuclear power to ever use such a first strike. Even if you win, you lose.

Your conclusion doesn't follow. You're assuming that national leaders are rational: Putin's actions in Ukraine show that this is simply not something we can count on.

Personally, I think it's highly likely we're going to experience a major nuclear exchange in the next few decades or less, with all the horrors (including global starvation) that entails. It's apparent to me that humans are simply too stupid to keep a global society running without destroying themselves.
> General advice is to avoid things in boxes and bags: aka highly processed foods.

Half of the barely-processed foods I buy are in boxes and bags. Rice, potatoes, frozen vegetables...

Fresh meat is also wrapped for sanitary reasons. Do you count plain cheese as highly processed because that has plastic on it too.

Let alone how normal it is to add things like starch and salt and juices.

Don't forget the fact that a few nations export massive surpluses of food. If the global trade chain is disrupted, their customers simply won't have enough food to eat.

Most famines in the last 100 years were at least partially caused by an inability to supply food from neighboring or just slightly more distant regions.

I know this feeling. It took me eight years from when I entered my PhD program until I handed in my thesis. Three of those years I was away from campus working part-time, but I was still trying to do my thesis during those week.

It sounds like you are putting too much on yourself. If I can say so from reading the post, it also sounds like you have a bad advisor. Research is HARD. It is by it's nature, ambiguous and risky, and it can be very difficult to distinguish "productive failure" from just spinning your wheels. This is what your advisor is here to help you do, and it doesn't sound like he is helping you do that.

I had a similar advisor and while I thought he was nice for not punishing me when another week went by and I hadn't made any progress, he was really just enabling my poor habits. I was always reluctant to switch advisors because I thought I was smart enough to do it on my own, but the sunk-cost fallacy overcame me.

Eventually, though, I did take the leap and switch advisors six years in (when I returned from part-time work). My new advisor was great. We both agreed that my goal was not to set the academic world on fire, but to complete my PhD and with her support I completed a thesis I was proud of.

One final thing: My story is an uncommon one. Virtually everyone else I knew who "took time off" from grad school never completed their PhD. That's ok and I have just as much respect for those who left, because I know how difficult that decision is. It's usually the right one, though.
This doesn't really answer the question though. "Why" is it looked on in this way?
