Yes / no... For continuous action you'd want something more clever for that, like an indicator of wait over capacity, taking standard load during that time + prediction into account. You want an indicator not history to interpret.

On the other hand, for planning / long term analysis, you probably want something like daily heatmap, or similar.

I'm not sure where a plain graph of very recent history would be useful in practice in that scenario. Again, the main thing I'm trying to say is: who looks at the dashboard, why, from what distance, etc. all impact on what elements you want to use. None of them is bad/good in general.

Even within Google, this is not universal. I doubt the majority of SREs at Google have even read the "Google SRE book".

On the other hand, the book has some nuggets that make it worth reading. But it should be treated as a collection of essays from some very senior SREs rather than a manual.
Personally I'd go the other way - you can do it, but you must make it public. It also has to be reciprocal. You can look up stuff on me, but your stuff should also be available for me to look up. E.g. tracking private jets/yachts and publicizing their cost to the environment should be legal.

As long as the accusation was made in public with other customers around it can be slander.

In the UK it would be for the defendant (I.e. security guard/store) to prove that the claim was actually true. So in this case they would be stuffed.

The person should definitely contact a solicitor.

This is the same burden a person would be under if a police officer simply noticed someone on the street who looked like a wanted suspect (without computer assistance). I agree that the automated system makes this situation more likely to occur, but it has always been the case that you can potentially be arrested because you look a bit like someone else. And in that situation you would have to do your best to convince the police officer that you were in fact someone else.
> if I turn off Lock Screen notifications and turn on time sensitive notifications then will I get no marketing notifications, and only notifications about my driver turning up?

It's up to the app developer, they get to mark notifications as time sensitive or not. So if someone decides that because a coupon is expiring soon it's "time sensitive" to ping you about it, then they can mark it as such. Hypothetically Apple could frown on this in app review, but it isn't something app reviewers are likely to be able to reliably catch.

The part that really gets ME about that thought, is that those glib psychopaths/sociopaths fill an important role in human society, generally as leaders. I'm sure we can all think of some prominent political figures who are very good at arranging words to get their audience excited, but have a tenuous connection to fact (at best). Actually factual content seems almost irrelevant to their ability to lead, or to their followers' desire to follow.

If that's the function which we can now automate at scale, it's not the jobs the machines will ultimately take; it's the leadership.

My journey of writing an E-Commerce software from scratch (Part 4)
Thanks. I was missing that from my bookmarks on SBS.

Speaking of my SBS bookmarks, this is one of the latest:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/24/durh...

Christina Robinson (coincidence!) was found guilty of shaking her son to death and jailed for life. She admitted meting out corporal punishment, including caning and other instances of child abuse. It seems that after reading about a number of SBS cases my innate reflex of assuming that historic child abuse is evidence of murder has completely dissolved and I must look even at cases like this one with skepticism. What do you think?

Edit: to be perfectly clear: I grew up with constant corporeal punishment by parents and teachers and I consider the practice abhorrent. But the same people who beat me up for misbehaving, horribly misguided though they were in thinking that's a way to raise a child, were not murderers and would never have gone as far as to cause life-threatening injury. I think this experience also colours my perception of cases like Christina Robinson. There's a sliding slope reasoning in many of those accusations that is very dangerous.
It doesn't really makes sense for kahan summation, as the compiler would just make it similar to a naive summation because the errors terms would be zero under the assumptions of fadd_fast. 2sum would also break.

This is exactly what you are loosing when using fadd_fast: fine control over the errors terms of floating point operations that do matter in a lot of cases.

An other thing you are loosing is reproducibility: depending on the machine, compiler version, etc, your program will compute differently and for example may switch from linear to quadratic errors terms when you recompile. It could be the difference between a numerical algorithm converging or not, this kind of things.
This would be a technical solution that doesn’t really map to what real people would expect from how a service works these days.
Setting up an open-frame Pentium 3 testbench
Corey Schafer has one of the best Python playlists out there. His channel at YouTube. I don't believe any more than his channel is needed, other than Python docs.
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is a State Transfer protocol. ReST (Representational State Transfer) is a State Transfer architecture. It was built for transferring a page from server to client. But if the page changed afterward, the protocol threw up its hands, and left it to the user to click "reload."

Braid proposes new HTTP headers that give HTTP new features, so that instead of just being a State Transfer protocol, it gains the functionality to become a full State Synchronization protocol.

To "extend" a protocol means to add new features to it, e.g. with new headers, which doesn't break existing uses of the protocol, but allows new implementations to opt into new extended functionality.

HTTP was originally stateless, but then added cookies. Over time, web apps evolved to store tons of state in databases on the server. Then they started storing tons of state in javascript variables and DOM on the client. Today, most of the code we write in a web app is there to synchronize the changing state on a server with the changing DOM on the client. The web is no longer static pages. It is dynamic state. But since we haven't extended HTTP to support dynamic state, programmers have to write all this synchronization code by hand. This has been a pain in the ass, and so we've evolved monstrous stacks of Javascript frameworks (react, redux, etc. etc.) to try to help manage this state synchronization from server to client. If we build this functionality directly into HTTP, tons of code goes away, and the web itself gains great new features. Then, since we will have a standard for state synchronization, our state can interoperate, and walled siloes of websites break down. We can have a P2P web.

When this work is complete, the browser will no longer need a reload button. The browser/server will guarantee that every page is always up-to-date, and every peer that synchronizes with that state will have an equal copy.

I already knew that Ninja only supports a limited subset and that the issue is the compiler now going beyond that limited subset.

My point is that I wouldn't jump to conclusions as to why they did that. I would dig further to see what the reasons were (which is not a simple google search) and what Ninja developers could do about that.

Another important point is that they didn't break Ninja compatibility in general, but only in the specific case of C++ modules; and they also didn't break compatibility with non-GNU implementations of Make.

The only example I can think of how a regulator can stop this is the Lehman bankruptcy. When Lehman went under the U.K. branch was left with zero dollars - nothing to pay staff, rent, or power. The Bank of England sent a £1M within hours to keep the lights on, so the administrators could be appointed and start winding down the assets.
You can't get legal aid for that, so the astronomical cost wouldn't be worth it.

In the case of store workers, it's not obvious what other checking they could do. The only reasonable use I can see is for them to keep an eye on the person that has been flagged. But I expect that the entire purpose of this tech is to reduce the number of store guards they need to pay, so they are likely not to have the manpower. If the policy is 'don't let them in the store', I don't see how a store worker can avoid making false accusations.
In the UK it's more if I remember correctly, and this is only the basic fee which doesn't offer all the functionalities.
It’s like how http and tcp are different. Http adds a semantic layer on top of tcp which describes fetching documents and updating them. Of course you could make your own nonstandard http on top of tcp, but having a consistent protocol that everyone uses means we can have content-agnostic tooling and middleware for caching and fan out. When you use http, there’s a lot of existing tools that will just work and be compatible with your software.

That’s what we want for braid. Braid is an extension of http which adds semantics for documents and data that change over time.

(I’m no longer directly involved, but I really hope the project succeeds!)
Orwell understood the authoritarian streak in the national character.
The counterpoint would be to ask how this is meaningfully different from a group of police officers standing on the street comparing the faces they see to a set of photos of known suspects. The efficiency of the automated system obviously makes it feel very different. However, fundamentally, being arrested for looking like someone else is not a new phenomenon. I do not like what is going on here, but I’m not sure that your particular line of argument against it is very strong.
Do they think it’d be better if the police did not use the facial identification tech?

If they’re standing there with a van and immediately stopping you the only thing you have to do is pull out your ID?

No, that's just an excuse for lazy writing. And if our stories are predominantly this basic, it's hard to create a future that's better.
Sāṁkhya is the GOAT! Very happy to see this comment here.

Their metaphysics is way ahead, even now we see many brilliant people (scientists) struggling with metaphysics whereas Sāṁkhya clearly lays out stuff with logical reasoning. While modern people still can't define consciousness clearly, Sāṁkhya goes above and beyond to define it in detail, using material language to describe the immaterial.

It's a shame that the philosophy never got exported to the west, like the poses of Aṣtānga Yoga, which too are a part of Sāṁkhya school.

> Telling someone wrongly that they are a thief, in public, seems like libel

Slander.

Libel is published, Slander is spoken. If they put a picture of her on a sheet that said "shoplifter" and posted in on the wall (or the net), it'd be libel.

But, I don't think you'd win a case based on Slander either:

* you'd still need to show it was published to a third party (though as you say, maybe you had friends present)
* They can show that they reasonably believed it to be true (the system told them so). Their wording then becomes incredibly important - did they say "you're a shoplifter" or "you've been identified by our shoplifter recognition system"

They might also try to argue that stopping shoplifting is in the public interest and that this was a statement of opinion related tot hat.

I agree though, if this happened to me, I'd definitely be sending a letter or two to dissuade them from making a similar mistake in future (I think I'd also be trying my luck with Facewatch given that their system disseminated that "information")
There are steps. A good solicitor letter may prompt a financial settlement and would serve its purpose, not least as the story is making headlines...

In any case, contacting a solicitor does not hurt.

correct

Dubiously correct, we know their function but not the purpose of the particular individual patterns learnt, see interpretability research

> and there’s nothing in there capable of original thought.

Incorrect, we have no idea what it takes to be capable of "original thought", the concept isn't even defined, we don't even know if humans do it. It's entirely possible that networks are capable of original thought, in fact there's a lot of evidence for it, like how if you put them in situations that aren't covered in the training they can often handle it fine.

> it builds a Markov model

Okay, do you know how the networks work? No, complete nonsense, Markov models have nothing to do with this. For one, LLMs are exactly not "locally" due to the long-range attention mechanism. Even things like RWKV, that "just" uses persistent state, can express correlations much, much longer than any Markov chain ever built. If you built a Markov chain for the sorts of correlation distances you'd get in LLMs you would need exponentially more states than there are atoms in the universe, which demonstrates that what's going on cannot be modelled as a Markov process without torturing the concept into incoherence.

> It's deterministic

Sure, it's deterministic plus a random noise factor. Anything in the world is deterministic plus a random noise factor, us included. If you perfectly recorded the thermal noise in a human brain you could deterministically repeat its output forever.

Imo this view is just "well the network can't be doing the same thing we're doing, it's too simple. I'm not that simple am I?" Yeah sorry, the human brain isn't that complicated.
