Same, same.
> Does anyone really want to process analog data?

But.. you do all the time. pretty much all the time these binary states are calculated from curves, or approximations. The state isn't 1 or 0, its the set of states which make 1 or 0 depending, under error correcting codes, over-sampling, things like manchester encoding.

We're fundamentally imposing binary on a non-binary state, by making deterministic judgement calls about which side of a divide things fall on, but to do that we have to look at analogue qualities.

I like to imagine people who work in VLSI smile at this statement, but at some level its analogue everywhere. It's higher-states which get to act like its binary, but they map to an analogue signal substrate.
The tone of this article is always a bit off to me and I can never figure it out. This seems like some sort of bragging, boasting and I don't understand why that is appropriate. I'm not a car person, I don't have the same draw to then as a lot of folks, I've lived in Toronto for the past decade and don't know anyone who owns a car...

With that said, I'm trying to understand why this article isn't met with a response like "it is extremely unethical to operate a vehicle in this condition. The drastically increased cognitive load, poor stopping performance, and lack of modern safety features makes this vehicle a lot more likely to hurt strangers when you hit them"

I never understood old car culture, let alone old and broken car culture displayed here. Surely a vehicle operator would have reduced response time with the increased cognitive load to any divergent situation and be placing other's lives at risk by not having their equipment maintained to an expected performance standard.

Not to mention the lack of braking, and lack of things like crumple zones etc, plus feeling light headed from engine fumes and poor ventilation.

I understand being into old technology, I've been involved in restoring old tape machines and vinyl cutting lathes, broadcast audio consoles etc, but I don't understand ignoring the fact that you are exposing unconsenting members of the public to an increased risk of injury or death because of your interest in old technology. I don't understand accepting the freedom of that choice when it exposes unconsenting others to more risk just for your own personal interest.

I can't help but harshly judge the author for their reckless decisions because the car isn't restricted to a closed course and can severely impact others lives simply because they enjoy the thrill of it.
I used to drive an old ratty Subaru Impreza which was at one point meant to become a racecar (it never did) so the previous owner had removed the key ignition system. Never had it stolen because in lieu of a key it used an obscure sequence of flipping unlabeled switches in a specific order (power, fuel, ignition, then crank) to get it to start. Security through obscurity!

In New Zealand, Apple Maps has been pretty horrific for some time - mainly due to incorrect or missing map data.

That is all way more complex than you're acknowledging. I bet you that for the hundreds of millions of dollars that will be spent every year on all of that crap, and all of the pain it will cause in a variety of ways, it will prevent maybe 1000 actual attacks globally per year.

Seems like the best compromise is something like the "drone spitter" delivery trucks from Ready Player One.

The truck wouldn't need to slow down (let alone stop), multiple drones would give high utilization, and you could further optimize delivery routes by "crow flying" to houses that aren't even on the same street.

> I agree. I just said that it was not _that_ bad.

It's great we can agree the problem is ill-posed. But that is a binary thing, either it is ill-posed or it is not. It can't be a little bit ill-posed.

I don't believe it's a coincidence that the ill-posed problem gets the high profile attention. It's not easy to design a proper puzzle, so it's tempting to simply hide a non-given "given" in the "solution".

The best way to not get caught is to have separate identities ill-pose-without-the-given and "solve"-with-the-given. Flame wars guaranteed...

EDIT: now that I think of it, I even fail to verify that the poser "Craig F. Whitaker" didn't collude, or even that he existed.

Looking at the archive.org copy of vos Savant's own website:

I see something very suspicious about the first 2 letters quoted (including the one you requoted): They are ostensibly written by different people, yet use very similar wording, and essentially contain the same information sentence by sentence.

First I will repost both integrally:

Since you seem to enjoy coming straight to the point, I’ll do the same. You blew it! Let me explain. If one door is shown to be a loser, that information changes the probability of either remaining choice, neither of which has any reason to be more likely, to 1/2. As a professional mathematician, I’m very concerned with the general public’s lack of mathematical skills. Please help by confessing your error and in the future being more careful.

Robert Sachs, Ph.D.
George Mason University

You blew it, and you blew it big! Since you seem to have difficulty grasping the basic principle at work here, I’ll explain. After the host reveals a goat, you now have a one-in-two chance of being correct. Whether you change your selection or not, the odds are the same. There is enough mathematical illiteracy in this country, and we don’t need the world’s highest IQ propagating more. Shame!

Scott Smith, Ph.D.
University of Florida

Both use "blew it", where there are many other alternatives like "mess it up" (which I used).

Robert: If one door is shown to be a loser, that information changes the probability of either remaining choice, neither of which has any reason to be more likely, to 1/2.

Scott: After the host reveals a goat, you now have a one-in-two chance of being correct. Whether you change your selection or not, the odds are the same.

Both also somehow connect this with public literacy and public shaming.

Robert: As a professional mathematician, I’m very concerned with the general public’s lack of mathematical skills. Please help by confessing your error and in the future being more careful.

Scott: There is enough mathematical illiteracy in this country, and we don’t need the world’s highest IQ propagating more. Shame!

These people at least seem to exist, but something strange is going on.

It's also regrettable I can't find the original Parade articles on the internet archive...
In NYC the volumes are humongous. They could probably build a successful business just going back and forth from airports.
1 is a bit surprising. It’s not like housing around airports are particularly popular for noise reasons. Here in Seattle, if you don’t count float planes, we don’t even have general aviation airports to worry about until you hit Boeing field to the south and Paine field in the north (again Boeing related).

Most new town homes have rooftop decks (because Seattle doesn’t get much snow), why can’t they land on those?
Looking at your comment, I think it's signifiant that primitive BASIC (from the 1960s to 1980s) implementations very effectively empowered many computing novices to create small to medium sized programs and games on timesharing systems and microcomputers.

Original BASIC was essentially a more user-friendly 1956 FORTRAN, but timeshared, interactive BASIC terminals beat Fortran punched card decks, and BASIC was more accessible than assembly language for microprocessors but still ran in 8KB. Most importantly, it seems that for many people BASIC enkindled a love of computing (as can be seen in many HN comments.)

You're right though that large and composite programs benefit from modularity and named, multiline, reentrant functions. And BBC BASIC seems like it was an impressive system. In an alternate reality, I wonder what would have happened if BASIC and Tiny BASIC had been based on another language (e.g. Lisp, which had history at Dartmouth) and Bill Gates had implemented a version for the Altair. (Note there was later a muLISP/Microsoft LISP that ran in 20KB.)

JavaScript seems to be as ubiquitous as BASIC once was, and is a modular and scalable language used by novices and professionals alike. But there just isn't the push to programming that "boot to BASIC" systems delivered, or the pull to create your own programs or web sites, since there are millions of existing ones that you can use.

> FOSS is a great path for workers to seize the means of production.

It's... not. Open Source is not a business model, nor a collective organizing principle, bargaining process, etc. It's just source code a couple of people have commit access to. I'm all in favor of everybody sharing source code too, but let's not pretend it's magic. Building and sustaining any kind of organization takes work, and has nothing to do with whether your source code is open or closed.

This notion that you should be grinding for some sort of passion or satisfaction isn't as real as people make it out to be. Some of the most depressed, broken people you meet are highly passionate professionals, celebrities, and artists who found deep satisfaction in their jobs.

When it comes down to it, mental health things are more complicated than chasing you 'passion', whatever that means.

In my experience the happiest and most stable people I know are financially secure. Not hard workers, not working on some magnum opus. Just plain well-off. One is a stay at home dad who hasn't worked a day since he married his wife at 24. Great guy. He isn't posting on hackernews about life hacks and bragging about the grind. He just golfs and raises his kids and winks when I make fun of him for it.

Wasn't there something similar a few months ago on HN and where the top comment talked about how it's not as impressive as it sounds [0]? The main issue is that this type of methodology is pulling from a pool of images, not literally reconstructing what image was seen in the brain directly.

> I immediately found the results suspect, and think I have found what is actually going on. The dataset it was trained on was 2770 images, minus 982 of those used for validation. I posit that the system did not actually read any pictures from the brains, but simply overfitted all the training images into the network itself. For example, if one looks at a picture of a teddy bear, you'd get an overfitted picture of another teddy bear from the training dataset instead.

> The best evidence for this is a picture(1) from page 6 of the paper. Look at the second row. The building generated by 'mind reading' subject 2 and 4 look strikingly similar, but not very similar to the ground truth! From manually combing through the training dataset, I found a picture of a building that does look like that, and by scaling it down and cropping it exactly in the middle, it overlays rather closely(2) on the output that was ostensibly generated for an unrelated image.

> If so, at most they found that looking at similar subjects light up similar regions of the brain, putting Stable Diffusion on top of it serves no purpose. At worst it's entirely cherry-picked coincidences.

No, democracy is a term that has been around for over 2 thousand years (same with Republic).

Hopefully as you know Democracy originated in Greece. Notwithstanding your definition, Greece the creator of Democracy, did not even elect representatives/politicians, politicians were selected at random from the citizens in a process known as sortition.
