I've thought about this a fair amount. I think a big difference is psychological. I've done logging (just family gather firewood for winter stuff, not commercially). It can be scary, but the trees and machinery bare no malice towards you, and you can minimize risks just by being alert and understanding the risks. That is, a lot of injuries are 'your fault'.

In contrast, in policing people really do shoot at you, they run to evade capture, etc. Even if the total risks of logging are higher I can imagine it is very hard to treat the risks in police work in the same dispassionate way the logger does. Tree leaning while cutting it vs suspect's hands maybe going towards their pocket. Even if the stats in those two situations are identical (I suspect they are not), I think very different emotions are going to be triggered, and without a lot of training those emotions are going to make situations go sideways either at the time or later (treating every person you meet as dangerous scum, etc). You don't hate the trees, you don't fear walking amongst them when not cutting them, you don't want to cut them a bit harder next time to teach them a lesson, and so on.

Anyway, I think all of that results in the 'feel' of police work in regards to danger to be quite different than logging or fishing, and ignoring that will lead to the police acting in ways we really don't want.

For better or worse, memory-mapped I/O isn't coming back -- how would that work on a modern flat-model OS with memory protection, anyway? It would require dedicated support from the memory controller itself, not something a system OEM could even think about implementing themselves.

It also wouldn't be useful for real-time applications, since these machines don't generally run true real-time operating systems.

Delegating I/O to a dedicated controller usually makes much more sense than trying to do it by bit-banging ports (or addresses) on a general-purpose CPU running a general-purpose OS. Not advocating the Arduino model necessarily, but if you want memory-mapped I/O, my guess is you really want an FPGA connected via PCIe, or at least USB HS. And if you don't need an FPGA to handle your I/O tasks, then there's a darned good chance that the Arduino is actually good enough.

What might be interesting is integrating something like a Teensy 4, so that you could offload not only I/O but a non-trivial amount of processing on the data to be acquired or transmitted.
Yea, absolute pitch is not very valuable for musicians. Interval training is much more common, where you train on the differences between notes (maj 3rd, minor 6th etc.). Good interval skills make improvisation and composition much easier. If you know the key you're in having absolute pitch doesn't really add anything, and if you're lacking in understanding intervals it won't make up for it.

> Dr Emslie, who leads the ... monitoring, says the rise in coral cover was expected, given the relatively benign conditions

Was it now. A Guardian news report featuring Dr Emslie in March 2019 has one of his colleagues saying this [1]:

the preliminary results of the study, and the lack of observed improvement in previously surveyed reefs, showed how difficult it was for corals to rebound after mass bleaching. “That doesn’t surprise me because it takes 10 years for coral to rebound,” Hughes said. “There’s been some reports of magical recovery, but the ecological memory of the bleaching will be long-lasting. “The big unknown is when it will bleach again, but it will almost certainly be before those reefs have time to recover.”

In 2019 it is being predicted to take 10 years to rebound, any reports of recovery are "magical" exceptions to the rule and the next bleaching will "almost certainly" be before the reefs have time to recover.

In 2022 it is not only fully recovered but at record breaking levels, this was fully expected, the idea scientists misled people is "nonsense" and only those dastardly "conservatives" and "naysayers" have any issues with what's happened.

Do you see the problem here? These people aren't behaving like scientists, they are behaving like political activists. They make assertions that they fully understand the corals and that their predictions are "almost certain", then when the corals do things that contradict their prior understanding they lash out and argue that only "conservatives" care about the confidence bounds of modelling predictions. Observe how wildly biased that is. In the world they inhabit anyone who is pointing out inconvenient facts can be immediately dismissed by saying they're not a part of the tribe, nothing else is needed!

> "We have a limited amount of time to slow and stop the warming. There is no way this resilience can last forever"

... he said, fervently hoping that the reefs will just hurry up and die already so they can stop being shown up.

Because it's just an arbitrary number. It has no concept of what the numbers mean or what it means when it gets a number that it doesn't have in its existing data set (the "training", more accurately described as references), whereas a human being can make an educated guess, or adapt to the unexpected outcome and thus provide a new novel solution. It isn't thinking about the numbers, it's executing maths, as programmed.

Is a calculator reasoning? It doesn't understand what the numbers mean. It's an input-output machine. Is a sheet of paper with numbers on it the process of reasoning itself? No, of course not. Human beings apply meaning to the output, or feed that output into other things to drive processes that they've already created.

If you kick the Boston Dynamics BigDog, it will compensate for the changes in x sensors and remain upright, or get back up, ergo it can traverse a dynamic (changing) environment, such as a battlefield, or an urban area with cars, people etc. It's not reasoning. It's conditional logic based on different vars. The BigDog bot doesn't understand what it is, where it's going, it doesn't think, it's applying maths to sensor inputs and motors on a recursive loop. If it encounters a problem it hasn't been programmed for, it cannot reason a new solution.

By your logic, video game characters must use reasoning, when no, they don't. It's maths.

Is it all fascinating? Yes, absolutely. Are there uses for it? Yes, absolutely. Is it reasoning? No.
Are we still playing the game?

Past lack-of-progress is not proof of future lack-of-progress. But it's most definitely an indicator.

> "unlikely to be close" is unknowable, and is just the author's gut feeling.

Again I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you here. The very next paragraph reads:

> Something that would change my mind on this is if I saw real progress on any problem that is as hard as understanding generalization, e.g. if we were able to train large networks without adversarial examples.

Basically, the author has identified a class of problem. They are claiming that little to no progress has been made on any problem in that class. So it's not just that no progress has been made on this specific problem, but that we are stuck on all problems of this type. Thinking of it in that way, I do not find it unreasonable to say we are "unlikely to be close" to a solution.

If you have a CS background, I'll make an analogy to computability classes: It's like the author is saying this is an NP hard problem. We have made no progress on any NP hard problem. I think it's reasonable to say that we are unlikely to be close to solving a particular NP hard problem because we've made no progress on any NP hard problem.

You're free to disagree with the author's premises. E.g. "this problem is not like those other problems" or "we actually have made progress on those other problems". But I think that the conclusions are reasonable given the premises.

So first I tried it on a video that was too long. It produced a transcript though. Which is something. But it was an easy test. I chose an episode of a television show that is uploaded to YouTube.

So I said, "fuck it", and chose a more difficult example. A video with no talking. It's just music and images. Some algodoo/Unity physics sandbox marble competition our son likes to watch.

It just gave up.

Then I was going to try another short video with talking, but apparently you only get one summary.

So, it seems like it's a way to generate transcripts of videos and have that summarized. Neat, but not exactly what's being advertised.

Natural gas distribution is also leaky, IIRC, and the amount of gas released into the atmosphere is significant. So I wouldn't say electric heating is not "greener", I'm pretty sure it is.

But electric is way more expensive. Natural gas is so cheap (n the northeast US). If it was practical, I'd also seriously switch back to gas powered hot water heater and furnace. A couple years ago I moved from an Apt with hot water and heat included for free from a gas-powered boiler in the basement, to a Condo with its own electric hot water heater and heat-pumps, and it was a bit shocking how much more expensive it is to heat with electricity ... like (very roughly) $30/mo vs $200/mo in winter

The Coming Crackdown on Corporate Greenwashing
Where is this happening? I've had long wait times in Germany, but low cost and good care. In the US I have very little wait time and high cost and equally good care. The doctors unfortunately don't go all Doctor House on me, but they certainly aren't shying away from touching me and physically inspecting any issue and ordering follow-up tests. The results aren't always very satisfying, but I understand that there are limited to what's reasonable to invest in researching relatively mild symptoms.

Meanwhile my mom has had cronic pain without any proper diagnosis. However, the German public health care system must have spent €50-100k in tests and to my astonishment she is currently in a clinic for 3 weeks that focuses on undiagnosed pain. As close to Dr House as it gets.
Story Time

I was an IT person for the math building while I was in college and I was mining a newish crypto called doggo on a computer lab while everyone was out for the summer. I had approval to do it and it was going to turn off as soon as the semester started back but they all had workstation cards and I couldn't resist. A man had offered to sell me a 99 civic if I got 200k and I needed a car.

Cut to weeks later and I'm hundreds of miles away for the day eating and drinking at a vitnamese restaurant with some friends and I get some notifications that the mining stopped.

I wasn't worried or afraid though because I knew in my pocket I could just pull out my android and click the magic button, Termux, to get a friendly and sensible shell with which to fix whatever mess had been thrown my way.

It was over in 5 minutes, I just rebooted them, process continued and I kept eating my noodles. Couldn't recommend it enough.

I had 300k by winter break and I had been set to meet the person for the civic after Christmas but that holiday a bunch of people's wallet got hacked and mine was no exception.

I ended up getting a card eventually but it wasn't the 99 civic -_-.

Termux on the other hand has been on every phone ive owned since
> Absolute pitch is just a learned skill like a lot of other things.

Is that true though? I had a friend in college who had perfect pitch. I asked him all the time how he learned it, and he said he didn't know. It just started happening. He never explicitly trained for it.

It also wasn't just about notes. He could nearly instantaneously tell chords and keys from the radio or going to the symphony. I would test him using my guitar as well, an instrument he didn't play.

It's quite rare to obtain skills by never practicing them.

A Google Brain Engineer's Guide to Entering the ML Engineering Field
Sounds like you gave it an honest try and it wasn't good for your setup - won't argue that. I do think it's something that depends very greatly on your climate, local costs/subsidies, and your house.

I also want to shed some light on why heatpumps can be great - by disagreeing with this statement:

> you lose ~50% in transmission, and usually it's coming from a coal or natural gas plant

Heat pump performance is often rated in terms of COP - a number that indicates how much more heat it generates than the energy it consumes. A COP of 4.0 means that for every Watt of energy, it produces 4 times that much heat. This is thermodynamically possible because a heat pump removes energy (makes cool) the other end. It depends largely on the temperature outside, and the individual device. Follow along with me for some cool results of this:

- Natural gas to electricity is about 85% efficient.

- Transmission losses are close to 10%

- So your house gets (roughly) 75% power efficiency.

- Natural gas furnaces are basically 100% efficient (almost all heat from burning goes into your house)

- A medium-good heat pump can expect to get a COP of 3.5 on a 30F day

With all these assumptions, let's do a little test:

- Let's burn a gallon of natural gas in your basement, using 100% of the energy it has.

- We get... about 64 BTUs

- Now let's have a power plant burn that gallon and send the electricity to your house at 75% efficiency.

- We get 14 Watt hours...

- Now let's put those 14Wh into a heatpump with a COP of 3.5...

- We get 167 BTUs!!

That's right - the same gallon of gas burned in a power plant will produce more heat in your house than if you burned it right there. Which sounds basically like magic, but it's of course because a heat pump doesn't create heat, it moves it.

Now, whether it makes sense for a given customer has a lot to do with the price of gas, the price of electricity, the price of furnaces vs heat pumps, and the temperature outside (COP can drop down significantly if you live in an extremely cold place). However, if you need an AC, it makes sense to at least get one that can dual function as a heat pump, this way it can be your source of heat in the spring/fall, without having to use the more powerful burner.

Nah you're right, intervals ear training will always give you more bang for your buck than absolute pitch, and even though absolute pitch is trainable, I don't know any serious musicians who have put effort into it. This is why I think folks think absolute pitch is innate (it isn't): some folks just have a knack for it, and those who don't quickly learn that the effort to build the skill isn't worth the payoff.
