“The current job market” - tech stocks and revenue is exploding, is the job market difficult currently?

Technically yes, but I can’t think of the last time I cloned a repo without then running code from it...

Why would the footage not be E2E encrypted? Hospitals and police stations are installing cameras which store unencrypted footage remotely?? What is this madness

Humorously “one-got” is almost a apt description :)

For some easy to grok examples: imagine MNIST, where all the pixels besides the writing are 0; or a recommendation system, where column i has the users rating for movie i, or number of times they listened to song i; or any one-got encoding

You can do that with the lightning network. The problem is double spend. With cash, it’s hard to copy. With anything electronic, it’s trivial to copy. That’s why it has to be a ledger. Notice visa requires internet connection as wel

That’s true, but also networks can be fast. https://colin-scott.github.io/personal_website/research/inte... It can be faster to read over the network than to read from a hard drive.

Oh wow, did not realize it was loading from external sources. Totally agree it should be completely self contained and versioned

It’s very cool that this interactive HTML is the actual published and peer reviewed ‘paper’. I didn’t know such journals existed

In their gif, the big alert right at the top, in the very first bullet point, says it will make a copy of the object. They intentionally scrolled down quickly in the gif to hide this. Is the argument that this should have been a pop-up that

Yeah I would be great if they could translate that into core-years to match the references they listed

Is there a financial benefit to doing this? What does the spammer gain? Each transaction takes a small PoW value. I wonder what the total cost is to the spammer (in terms of how much they could have made with this hashrate mining a differe

I think the analysis still hold even with a transaction backlog, as long as the fees in these transactions are exponential distributed (a few very high value txs, then it trails off quickly) However I have know idea if this is close to what

Its $10 a month - unless they're using raspberry pi's, I think you can assume virtual servers.

Yes, NTP clock sync assumes symmetric delays, so you have the exact same problem. However they use the closest NTP time server, so assuming the NTP server owners correctly are able to sync their own servers, the offset is probably close. Un

The “mid-range phones” has me suspicious, I wish they defined that better. And 90ms is much higher than what Opus is supposed to achieve

By language I mean words, the symbols that NLP operates on. Raw audio -> words is a much simpler problem than words -> understanding/response.

Also note from that thread: SolarWinds gave him $0 for finding and reporting this. That in itself is completely irresponsible and a reflection of the companies systemic issues, which can’t be blamed on one intern.

SolarWinds: “My intern had prepared a report on PCC’s profit potential, which I used to decide the purchasing price. It turns out the intern had not followed our financial analysis framework correctly. This mistake therefore lies squarely o

Most AI tasks that I think of - image labeling, NLP - the majority of that happens in the brain? Do we process language in our peripheral nervous system?

How are they breaking the rules? It seems like they are using it for the same purpose they prompt permissions for.

by jtsiskin 6y ago
Yes, after prompting for permission, and explaining why. What’s the issue here? How else would they do it?

And it applies to not only Uber, but tons of other apps. Unfortunately incentives are not aligned to make rarely used features load on-demand. I wonder what the average user percent of application binary actually executed is.
