"They already know" is a red herring; there is no "they". "Government" as a single entity has no brain, so the best you can do is ask about individual actors. So let's talk instead about a person: Merrick Garland.[1]

Pretend for a moment that Merrick receives a piece of memo from a subordinate that incriminates you in some form of bank fraud. Of course Merrick personally doesn't know anything about your bank account. Nobody has both the information and a brain big enough to store it. Hell, I have to check my own bank account regularly because I keep forgetting exactly how much is in there and it's my own money!

If something came across Merrick's desk and it convinced _him_ that it was worthwhile to investigate, do you really expect other than delays waiting for signed papers before he got the information he wanted? Do you really think there's a difference to Merrick whether he gets that information in 60 seconds by logging into your bank "as you" and looking at it, or whether he waits a few days and gets hand delivered a piece of paper by a bank's legal team?

Hinton didn’t invent back prop.

> Explicit, efficient error backpropagation (BP) in arbitrary, discrete, possibly sparsely connected, NN-like networks apparently was first described in a 1970 master's thesis (Linnainmaa, 1970, 1976), albeit without reference to NNs. BP is also known as the reverse mode of automatic differentiation (e.g., Griewank, 2012), where the costs of forward activation spreading essentially equal the costs of backward derivative calculation. See early BP FORTRAN code (Linnainmaa, 1970) and closely related work (Ostrovskii et al., 1971).

> BP was soon explicitly used to minimize cost functions by adapting control parameters (weights) (Dreyfus, 1973). This was followed by some preliminary, NN-specific discussion (Werbos, 1974, section 5.5.1), and a computer program for automatically deriving and implementing BP for any given differentiable system (Speelpenning, 1980).

> To my knowledge, the first NN-specific application of efficient BP as above was described by Werbos (1982). Related work was published several years later (Parker, 1985; LeCun, 1985). When computers had become 10,000 times faster per Dollar and much more accessible than those of 1960-1970, a paper of 1986 significantly contributed to the popularisation of BP for NNs (Rumelhart et al., 1986), experimentally demonstrating the emergence of useful internal representations in hidden layers.

Hinton wasn’t the first to use NNs for language models either. That was Bengio.
Other than the obvious benefits like avoiding a pandemic this hits close to home. My dad passed away 2 weeks ago from Pulmanory Fibrosis. A respiratory disease without a cure and one where we know very little about the causes. Better air quality would drop cases, relive strain on the health system and just let people live longer. Its something I want to help with where I can. I hadn't even thought about the obvious step of raising awareness about air quality.
I am extremely not Mormon, but we don't have any reason to believe Mormons are more likely to be sexual abusers than Jews, Muslims, or Hindus.

It's probably more politically safe to claim Mormons are more likely to be sexual abusers, but I wouldn't feel any less safe leaving my children with a Mormon family than with a Jewish family, a Muslim family, or a Hindu family.
My take.

In your case it is not a biological problem but rather a psychological problem. That's not a negative reflection on you, but it is not something most people want to hear. (Try telling a woman with fibromyalgia that their problems are even 1% psychological and see what you get and anything like "Look at how you've given up on life, of course your illness has caused you to become depressed" or "Look at how you've built your whole identity around being a sick person who can't be helped by anyone" or "Look at the pain that this guy suffered, he put off hip surgery for three years because he's a mutant who could be killed by general anesthesia but he kept driving a truck anyway" just doesn't get received.)

My take is that you're conceptualizing the problem completely the wrong way and that the idea that you can reverse the condition along a gradient of visual stimulation is a product of that. There is more to it than visual stimulation and I think you have to find some other pathways of erotic response in yourself other than that. (e.g. there are many things that turn people on)

It's hard to get help, particularly in 2023 where you can easily get 20 psychiatric referrals from your primary care physician and not find a single one who returns your phone calls and is taking new patients. It's a problem too for men that the field is terribly gender imbalanced

You don't need to, it just depends on who's your source of identity. The mTLS handshake includes exchanging which CA's are accepted, AFAIK. In some cases it's some commercial entity, in others it's a country itself, but nobody stops you from using your own CA.
There is such a blurry line for autonomous munitions. militaries used dumb imprecise munitions for decades - then precision weapons.

A2A missiles used to lock on radar signature leading to huge risks related to accidentally shooting airliners/friendly craft. Now antiship missiles dynamically select their target over 300km away to maximize the chance of hitting a big ship.

During the war on terror, ML models would decide which phone to blow up. We’re probably going to see ai driven target selection and prioritization for fire control within the next few months of the Ukraine war. The US’s new Rapid dragon program almost demands ai control of target selection and flight trajectories.

Where do you draw the line? What would an appropriate agreement look like?
You can set up some AI to let you win 80% of times, and let the game to the real players. That way, you will feel better.

I dabble in the realm of simracing. Man, what would I do for a 50% win rate. Every race is hard fought, and the possibility of a victory is far below 15%.

The times I have won, I trained the whole week, it was hard-earned, and really, nothing has felt better since. It's a high I can still ride with pride.

IMO, if you want to win more, you should train harder, or try something easier.
The existence of this site is just sad to me, with regards to the person who thought they needed to make it.

Elon Derangement Syndrome is not as prolific as TDS but it's still definitely a thing.
I'm not a member, just going off what they told me. From what I understand the actual edicts (maybe it's called something) else aren't really supposed to be published or talked about. So I've only talked to ex-mormons about this.
Sounds like a threat! Hahahhaa.
3rd mentioned in the was a willingness to serve.

Having grown up Mormon, I'd add a 4th that wasn't mentioned in the article: deference to authority. The Mormon church is a very hierarchal organization. Orders go from the top down. People lower on the ladder should not ever contradict their leaders. When a Mormon leader asks you to do something, you expected to comply. I imagine that this mindset would make you fit in well in the FBI, at least in the lower and middle layers of the organization.
Soo... Not "the wrong opinion" but disrupting major infrastructure. Im not sure I agree with it, but it's not the laissez-faire process you are implying. It's also pretty trivial to see how they can equally do the same with cryptocurrencies through the major exchanges, given the hurdles or actually using your crypto outside them
Funny!
Right around the time when there was porn backlash, the owner of onlyfans hired a female of color as their CEO to change the narrative around their business

Around the same time their PR machine started pushing articles on how onlyfans income was helping women raise their families. And how it had been a blessing in their lives.
The site that was so sure Twitter would crash and burn ends up biting the dust first.
You don't think that your bank would get your money back if this happened to them?
There have been many situations where companies have pulled out of disagreeable regulatory environments.

If microsoft decided to no longer do business in the UK (not happening - it's a bluff) it would not be beholden to their decision.

It would be a different situation if either company was based in the UK, but that's not the case.
I always change a few words in the seed phase manually. To protect against this exact type of attack.
That's a distinctly different statement than the one we are discussing, though.
Aegis would have taken care of it easily with an SM-3. I wonder if some Arleigh Burkes or other Aegis-enabled ships are on standby every time there's a launch. Or perhaps the Air Force helps with a Patriot battery.
Why would I?

Either the company's board and leadership are trustworthy (i.e. are acting in the best interest of all, not just majority or voting, shareholders), in which case they'll have carefully weighed the cost (dilution) and benefits (additional capital) of issuing new shares.

Or they aren't – in which case dilution is one of many problems and it's questionable why I'd want to continue owning shares in that company.
Yes, lot's of it is simply "let's take a succession crisis from IRL, change the names & add magic."

Though I'll admit I find some of the ridiculous fantasy fiction entertaining. But I also find lots of real history entertaining too. Intricate power struggles & their intersection with daily life are interesting, at least from the distance of fiction or a few hundred years. Watching them play out in real time is usually horrific.
You're using Christian way too much to describe Mormons. I am pretty sure most Christians aren't going to see Mormonism as a plus.
> (2) Falsely and maliciously to indict another for any crime, or to procure another to be charged or arrested for any crime.

So this means police informants in connection to the police are also committing a crime? Far too often people with recorded criminal activities are baited into getting another person caught for a more severe crime like terrorism, in exchange of being let go.
three factors:

> "Mormon people often have strong foreign language skills, from missions overseas"

> "a relatively easy time getting security clearances, given their abstention from drugs and alcohol"

> "and a willingness to serve"

It's quite a strange religion, not to be offensive. I always get approached by them at the mall when i'm in the US...I always think to myself the kind of person is drawn to this belief around the character of Joseph Smith.
try opening an adult website with fully legal content and see if you get approved for payment processing. I do not think you understand how this works.
Only if you don't get caught; plenty of schools have been evacuated because people mentioned comitting a crime without actually intending to execute it.

That said, flooding the systems with false positives is definitely possible, but it would be used as a cover for actual terrorist attacks.
That would imply it's out of date, which it apparently isn't. The website itself doesn't need updating if it stays relevant.
Threat models vary wildly. Someone's location may not be a consideration.
> How would you curtail their use

I'm just hoping people and nations might come to their senses. People smarter than me need to figure out how. I'm not going to say that "it is not possible" however, that would be assuming way too much.
Opinions differ. Best as I can tell, like all other dogmas, their rules are some blend of urban legends, game of telephone, and calvinball.

eg The nephew of the owner, prepping for his missionary work, gravely explained to me that he has to be careful not to immerse himself in open waters (or maybe it was just moving water) past the belt line. Something about being vulnerable to witches or demonic possession or whatever. And it was totally true because his cousin's best friend knew a guy who swam while on mission and then died.
Absolutely this. You can already use GPT-4 to have a convincing text-based conversation with a target. And audiovisual generative AI is fast reaching the uncanny valley.

Since there is apparently no way to put the genie back in the bottle, everyone needs to start thinking about how to authenticate themselves and others. How do you know the person calling is your daughter? Is that text message really from the new bookkeeper at the plumbing firm who just asked you to change the wire transfer address? She seems legit and knows all sorts of things about the project.

Things are going to get very bad for a while.
My best guess (and again I want to reiterate that this is all hearsay told to me by the police) is that those communities are more aware of these types of activities, and therefore the fruit is not quite as low-hanging as a sleepy Wyoming town.
I won't cook eggs on anything but cast iron. I wonder what the hell people are doing that drives them to use cheap, thin, pans coated in hormone disruptors. My eggs never stick. In restaurants your eggs are cooked on steal...hundreds of eggs each shift.

> Most banks hold more assets than deposits. So in theory, depositors should always be made whole.

No such theory is established; it's the central bank's money printing ability that can always make depositors whole. In the US, the Federal Reserve implicitly backs the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
No, none are "confirmed causes". There are mild associations between the use of certain pesticides and Parkinson's, but much lower than the overall genetic risk factors, and there's always the possibility of confounding factors in the studies.
AI generates novel proteins that meet structural design targets
> Are you saying that using Google to answer a question is more exhausting than parsing a book? That makes zero sense

My point is that we couldn't possibly do our jobs now without Google, but that we used to be able to do it just by knowing the stuff in a few books really well and knowing where—in the books or in e.g. manpages—to find what we didn't know. A small shelf of books is way better than Google, if you can be reasonably certain that the answers you need are in there.

Yes, this situation is far more exhausting.
Everyone can extrapolate. One of the most irritating tendencies of public intellectuals is the assumption that only they understand the word exponential, and then insist on asserting that every trend they can lay their eyes on must be an exponential trend (or if it's clearly not, then it will be soon).

Progress comes in fits and spurts. Sometimes there's fast progress, and then the field matures and it slows down. It was ever thus. Measured in tech demos, AI progress has been impressive. Measured in social impact it has way underperformed, with the applications until November of last year being mostly optimizations to existing products that you wouldn't even notice unless paying close attention. That's what 10+ years of billion-dollar investments into neural nets got us: better Gmail autocomplete and alt tags on facebook images.

Now we have a new toy to play with at last, and AI finally feels like it's delivering on the hype. But if we extrapolate from past AI experience it's going to mostly be a long series of cool tech demos that yields some optimizations to existing workflows and otherwise doesn't change much. Let's hope not!
Whole foods is just a common way to say you're buying ingredients then making them yourself. I think you're just arguing semantics for meanings that are fairly commonly used.
How do these approaches propose producing enough bulk calories in the form of wheat, corn, and rice to support 8 billion people? Also, how to the aim to overcome the labor issues in more developed economies? The labor inputs for these methods always seem to be FAR higher than conventional agriculture.
gpicview and ristretto use dbus; feh and shotwell hang when used on my remote X11 connection.
Oh yea? Which one? Not a single mainstream processor allows adult content.

Misreading misinformation? LOL
Double negatives are hard. LOL

Stop talking out of your ass and offer proof where CC processing for porn is allowed by a regular mainstream processor and regular rates.
I don't mind ads at all, it's just that the official reddit app is garbage and slow like the GTA V Online loading screen
Should I code my own AI model or use people's solutions for an MVP?
Hello guys
We're working on a platform that should take care of document processing and we need some AI functions that are already built (mainly using langchain & openai api)
Is it okay to use those solutions or should I code my own for an MVP?
How will that affect the startup once I'm trying to gather some capital & investments?

Thank you!

A tent with poor ventilation rapidly becomes soggy.
Which is funny because most Mormons I know dislike the FBI specifically because their actions as of late are directly in opposition to their beliefs.
An important part of the problem is that super complex software and hardware stacks are required today for even basic tasks. This limits customer's chioce, essentially forcing customer to use these bloated, insecure, obscure products.

Even browsing the plain text Hacker News forum requires a web browser, so complex that only few companies in the world can produce it. And runs on super complex OS.

I wish we had something like "basic computing / commnication device" specification. Simple, limited and transparent, that everyone can produce. With small software, That would allow to exchange messages and browse information online. Not all data formats, but a limited set of formats, good enough for basic communications.

Better a frozen spec, not a moving target. (Or a very careful evolution, with very rare release of new versions)

Good publishers, web sites, etc, could test their systems against the "basic comp / comm device".
Let's put it this way.

If you have Game Pass, would you use its cloud gaming service, or would you go out of your way and play in Luna, which by the way, does not have as many games?

Also, Amazon does not have the software platform, nor the hardware, to compete with Microsoft (Windows, Xbox).

Microsoft could and does bundle a Xbox app in Windows, which also features their cloud platform very prominently [0].

Essentially, every single Windows user is being introduced to Microsoft's very own cloud platform. It's not that Microsoft is "treated differently", they are indeed different.

Because the secure options are less convenient. I mean a yubikey is less convenient because it's another physical device you shouldn't forget to put in your device and take out / with you at all times, etc.
Again, I agree with the desire for more documentation, but what I disagree with is the idea of doing it more thoroughly or not at all. That simply results in less information. You can look at what other companies do as a comparison and you don't get nearly as much information. SpaceX seems to me to be far more disclosing. For example, you could find raw data from on board Starship sensors informally released to the public the day of the launch. I haven't seen anything like that from the SLS. I would rather have that information out there for willing individuals to sift through than not at all.
My ~2000-era MS Natural keyboard has the following. (I keep it in a drawer, as an emergency spare for when I run out of MS Natural 4000s.)

- Full navigation cluster

- Arrow keys away from the main area

- Ctrl+Shift in line on both sides

- Right-hand Alt key

- Right-hand Windows key and right-hand Windows context key (you don't need both IMO, however having one is useful as you can remap it to be the right-hand version of the one you do use - the MS Natural 4000 is fine)

- Only one B key

- f6 on the left side of the split

For a device that relies so much on muscle memory, you'd think that designers would do a better job of laying theirs out exactly like every other one. But... apparently not?

My search for a replacement continues.
I spoke with some LDS youngsters who came to my door some time back. They're friendly. I learned that they do not like being referred to as "Mormon" but instead prefer "LDS". For them, being called Mormon is derogatory.
Not sure what you mean by the British Royalty not being taken seriously. The UK were throwing anti-royalist protestors into jail this past year...

I didn't say checking accounts, but money storage with the respective sovereign (and daily liquidity).

Was actually the German finance agency (same thing for our purposes really, as only daily risk is sovereign Germany). There were claims that lobbying by banks killed it, but it was also not very attractive in a low yield environment. Ostensibly, it was created to broaden the funding base of the Federal Republic, I think.

One explanation I've heard is that this specific court already hears so many patent cases, so they have a well oiled machine for getting them through which makes it a bit cheaper to litigate in this court. So the moment that is already there breeds more momentum.

Résumé/CV: https://theshoemaker.de/cv

Email: mail AT joelschumacher.de

I am a software developer currently working in the telco industry, but I am eager to explore new opportunities and expand my horizons. Although my primary interests are in network programming and game development, I am open to other challenges if they give me an opportunity to grow and develop myself as a programmer. My interests are diverse, as showcased by my portfolio of personal projects, which can be found at https://theshoemaker.de/projects.

While I have enjoyed my time in telco and learned a lot, I am now seeking a role that allows me to focus more on the technical aspects of design and building systems. I am eager to work in an environment where I can collaborate with and learn from a team of highly skilled and motivated professionals.
Agreed, but after the first insurance claim my understanding is the insurance rates become prohibitive or they just drop you.

I guess if the assets aren't lost they could be sold off or donated to a similar organization or something in that case however.
JPMorgan is actually prohibited from buying other banks in general due to their size. The FDIC gave them an exemption in the process of soliciting bids for First Republic over the weekend and maybe last week.
