Particularly the "only".

As long as we have bases and mutual defense treaties in the area, we will keep aircraft carriers and the like in the area.

> China is going to invade both of them too and we dont want that to happen? North Korea is going to invade both of them? South Korea and Japan are going to fight each other? If thats not what you were referring to then I dont know

Mostly the top two, though in the past the last one was also an issue. And not necessarily "invade"; China is already pushing around its weight in those waters.

"just business" is a tautology.

I feel this is exploitation. I believe not all "business" operates this way nor does it have to. The power-imbalance and difference in legal briefing of Apple vs Orange teams would be an ENORMOUS weakness for Orange.

"just business" to me, here, means monopoly power, since Apple has access to ALL the information that it wants - all the strategic negotiating insight that is available for a given (new) technology. Orange would not.

Orange would easily reasonably, predictably lose in this kind of discussion with Apple. Their innovation is captured by Apple with unequal compensation for Orange's shareholders. That is wrong, and not acceptable for a healthy economy in my view.
Corporations are strongly pushing natalism which seems to have found a home in contrarian conservative politics. The formulae is simple, more consumers and thus better prices for goods which corporations make and the assets they own. There are more workers competing for the same jobs so their input costs are cheaper. The actual costs associated with large populations are externalized. Keeping a ponzi economic system going is simply a bonus. I'm a foot-voting libertarian (anti-corporatist) not a commie but this shit stinks.

We're not going to get greater innovation out of more people if those people have to spend their lives toiling to survive while eating increasingly unhealthy food. I don't see why we couldn't have graceful degradation of the population. The idea that we'll need many people to look after us as we get old is predicated on people living rather unhealthy lifestyles. We would be far better off looking after our health and being good stewards of the environment.
You're saying the study has no grounding in how brains work? I'd think a more reasonable conclusion would be that the neuroscientists involved have no grounding in how artificial neural networks work.

It seems the whole point is to bring in additional details of how brains work, that the think may be relevant to artificial NNs.
No, never. I don't care what some people at some companies do. Even if they aren't summarily fired for it (like happened to someone at a place I work), then it gives HR leverage when they want to fire you just because.

Fire is a fluid simulation and this has been in consumer tools like houdini for a long time now. Even in avatar from 14 years ago there were plenty of CG explosions that people didn't think about.

The moment you comp it in to a live plate our uncanny valley spidey senses kick in

I haven't seen this be the case if the scale is right and the resolution is good. After that it is a matter of compositing. There is actually a decent amount of cg fire out there now. I found this after 10 seconds of searching on youtube:

Doing live action integration is tough in general, but fire is additive and that helps quite a bit. LEDs that can be add lighting to the photography helps too.

Run the whole thing in a sandbox and have the AI exfiltrate the content (but not the ads) as a static DOM (no js). Once you know which DOMs go with which URL's you can gossip those peer-to-peer and not bother actually talking to the site at all (although one of us should hit the actual site every now and then, just in case the content changes).

The big issue is, I know ads pay for Youtube, but maybe 1 times out of 100 do I see an ad that promotes positive feelings about the product being advertised. the other 99 times I am less inclined to purchase the product out of annoyance by the ad. Shouldn't the billions of dollars of recommendation research at this point reached a peak where ads are ideally appealing to the viewers they're served to? Wouldn't that maximize profits for all sides? It still feels like ads at this point are aimed deliberately to annoy me.

I think this may be referring to DVRs of the early 2000s. They used basic logic to look for a blip (dropout) in the video signal that usually happened when a commercial break was inserted. It worked surprisingly well.

The parallels here are uncanny, because there were tons of lawsuits from networks unhappy about this, as well as lawsuits from consumers making similar arguments as seen in this thread about how advertisements are awful and they don't have any responsibility to watch them.

Either one that I wanted to learn or one that I knew.

Which of those depends on whether the focus of the passion was exploration of new tech to make an impact on my understanding of tech or exploitation of existing tech to make an impact on the world.

If it was the former, today I'd probably learn Rust + whatever webapp stack is popular in that language. Seems to make some pretty interesting guarantees around programming and is blazing fast.

If it was the latter, I'd pick rails. Nothing in my experience beats rails for productivity for a bog standard webapp.

I know more math than the average bear, but I think the parent has a point even if I don’t totally agree with them.

Take for instance the dual space example. The definition of it to someone who hasn’t been exposed to a lot of math seems fine but not interesting without motivation — it looks just another vector space that’s the same as the original vector space if we’re working in finite dimensions.

However, the distinction starts to get interesting when you provide useful examples of dual spaces. For example, if your vector space is interpreted as functions (for the novice, even they can see that a vector can be interpreted as a function that maps an index to a value), then the dual space is a measure — a weighting of the inputs of those functions. Even if they are just finite lists of numbers in this simple setting, it’s clear that they represent different objects and you can use that when modeling. How those differences really manifest can be explored in a later course, but a few bits of motivation as to “why” can go a long way.

Mathematicians don’t really care about that stuff — at least the pure mathematicians who write these books and teach these classes — because they are pure mathematicians. However, the folks taking these classes aren’t going to all grow up and be pure mathematicians, and even if they are, an interesting / useful property or abstraction is a lot more compelling than one that just happens to be there.
This is great! I eventually figured out all these interpretations as well, but it took forever. In particular, the "sum of outer products" interpretation is crucial for understanding the SVD.

Thats a skill and like sports, there are certain affinities to having and tailloring that skill. It's why we call it "emotional intelligence". There will be some absolute saints that can manage their emotions to an almost sociopathic level, and 90+% of people can train their lives and never truly obtain such skill. We are shaped by early experiences, memories, and traumas too much to truly say "anyone can do this".

Likewise, being punched in the face is a skill. But not necessarily one that is "mastered", just mitigated. the best boxers in the world will get punched enough to have permanent damage, even with modern safety regulations. That's just a fact. Meanwhile, most people who don't spend time fighting will have different biology that determines how well they can take a face punch. Someone more muscular will take it better than a meek lad. You may not even realize the former got punched the next day wihle the latter has a scar that never heals. You can't fully control that without a major lifestyle change.
Between Youtube and PirateBay, who do you think has distributed more unauthorized copyrighted works?
Youtube is entitled to the technical shenanigans it uses to force people to watch ads and I am entitled to the technical shenanigans I use to avoid them on my own device.

If youtube blocks off access completely, people will stop considering it a reliable video host and another "default" website will take its place.
> What's your issue with having to watch ads if you watch less than 1 hour of video content a month?

Moral issues, security issues, etc. These have been discussed in pretty much every thread about adblocking ever, really. I get that you might disagree with them, of course, but no need to rehash the here. I don't even like company logos displayed on my clothing, so you can guess which side of the "how much do you hate ads?" spectrum I'm on.

> There's a lot of content on YouTube that people upload that they have no intention of monetizing.

So on those you never see ads? Hilariously I don't actually know how Youtube works since the only time I've seen ads is when someone who doesn't use an adblocker shows me something (i.e., extremely rarely). Firefox + uBlock Origin (and Adblock Plus before that) has been enough to guard me for as long as I can remember.

> Why don't you or someone else try starting one?

Well, I can't speak for anyone else but I'm a middle-aged historian, so starting a video hosting platform is far beyond my expertise. Though in general asking someone "why don't you just go build it yourself" in response to a complaint about a service, software, or hardware item is a bit trite.
That would be useful for about 1-2% of it; but it would be better to bring it to Mars as CO2 in the first place and crazy expensive. I like the idea, though. Maybe space habitats around Venus instead.
But they do, specially in low RAM systems, as the SSD becomes like a backup ram to juggle extra information.
I mean, it's nice to have the ports, but you have externally power the drives because the PSU is 3A, so one for the computer and that leaves 2A. Most HDDs need 2A to spin up so you can only have one drive. So no redundancy.

If I was to make a NAS (which is what I would be interested in) I would pay triple for something like the NAS killer 6 [3]. To be fair the Zimacube might be more of a challenge to this (but its not out yet).

I think its interesting though for a small, fanless sever. But (understandably, it's cheap) if you wanted something more, an extra $200 would be get you much more. I guess it depends on what you are looking for.

It's been a hot minute since I was looking for PHP developers, but when I did, I saw a ton of folks with Wordpress experience. And not many others who had experience with traditional three tier applications, how to write a database query, separation of concerns and general software development.

if you can afford it, sure. But that civil lawsuit you dismiss will suddenly crush you if you punch the wrong person in the face.

You are absolutely right, the entire premise is nonsense, but good luck convincing anyone. A blog title assumes it's true, it must be written in stone.
Yes, but you won't see it often because VFX artists aren't paid what they're worth, are given unrealistic timeframes, and are even given sloppy direction that is counter to what a realistic effect should look like.
You undoubtedly know more about this than I do, but every element of the claim (loosely speaking, everything before a semicolon) has to be found in the prior art. And there has to be some reason why a person of ordinary skill in the art would have thought to combine them. It IS tedious, but your paragraphs would get absolutely no traction with the PTO.

The applicant has to disclose all the prior art he's aware of. This is often abused, but for a well-known technology area, it wouldn't do to say "I don't know of any." Indeed, at the end of this patent there are a whole bunch of references to other "oximetry" patents. If the patent somewhere points out why what they're doing isn't found in the prior art, I missed it.

This is effectively a prescriptive vs descriptive language issue. And prescriptive side always loses, because the people adjust the word meaning for a reason.

Why?
I don't care about YT and would happily use anything else. However, I do care about the content placed there exclusively. Much of that older video may not be available elsewhere, and it was probably uploaded at the time under the assumption that it would remain freely available. I'm usually not watching videos popular enough to make any money for the creators. They certainly didn't have any exclusivity arrangement.

This reminds me of the concept of predatory pricing which is when a business lowers their prices to below cost in order to drive out all its competitors and create a monopoly.
https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...

I do wonder if it could be argued (maybe even in the current monopoly case against google) whether youtube engaged in predatory or below-cost pricing in order to drive out all of its competitors, establish a monopoly, and now use that monopoly in order to "raise prices" i.e. increase the amount of ads on its service in order to maximize its profit margins.

Although this does seem to be the business plan of basically every startup out there. Get VC funding, run at a loss and burn through money but gain a monopoly market share, and once you've done that you can raise your prices and have a profit margin that far exceeds what should be normal.
Or campaign contributors expect a return on their "investment."

That is definitely not the first paper describing a CNN. That is not even the first paper by Le Cun describing CNNs (he was already on them as early as 1989[1]).

Regardless, Le Cun is not the first to describe CNNs, merely one of the first to use them for OCR (specifically for hand-written text).

The first neural network arch to use convolutions instead of matmuls was this[2], from the year of our lord 1988. This in turn is based on Fukushima's "neocognitron"[3] (1980), which is based on the visual cortex of felines (from work done by Hubel and Wiesel in the 50s/60s).

I guess it is not super surprising you might be confused – Le Cun seems a bit more reticent than average to cite the work he's building on top of, and when he does it is frequently in reference to his own prior work. So if that is where you're getting your picture of artificial neural network history, your skewed perception makes sense.

I feel like I want to like htmx, and the concepts sound cool. But json is such a nice generic serialization format. Like my API can be in service of my frontend, but also other applications. While, unless I misunderstand it, htmx seems to philosophically believe the backend is the frontend.

Are there any patterns where you have an API with nice json payloads but also use htmx to push the rendering to backend? What do you do when you have users that just want basic data from the API? Do you add json endpoints, or is it more of a “fuck you learn how to accept html” situation?
