To be honest, I've spent many hours in PD and Max and didn't realize that Miller Puckette was behind both. Super cool! Next week, I travel to Bali to focus on developing a data flow based visual music synth. I can't understat

I wonder if internal estoppel is a thing? Two options Option A 1) ethicist objects to something 2) management declines the objection 3) whistle blower reveals the declined objection 4) public outcry ensues, stock price falls

It was somewhat of a 3-body problem: carriers, oems, and developers. Carriers wanted branding and bundling. OEMs wanted to market a distinction design. Developers wanted a platform. Three cooks with competing tastes. For example: the Moto-Q

Soundshader is amazing! Am writing a visual music synth. Maybe I'll port to Metal.

I was working for a friend's company acquired by Salesforce. They didn't bring him on board. I left after one day. My buddy working next to me left after one month. Others after him. It was a small company. Maybe disrupting a cult

If you can convert data into an API call, then it becomes an issue of steganography. The only way to trust a binary is through 100% code coverage through all possible inputs, which is intractable. Code signing and a secure enclave may help

For iOS, we used some runtime trickery to access private APIs. Was needed to access calendar invite details. Could see how a less benign developer could sneak malicious code past Apple's review process. A famous example of self-modifyi

Ironically, I think Brad Cox had something like this in mind, after coming up with Objective C. Or at least, pluggable components [1] I wonder what the threat model would be? Injectable binaries seem like a decent attack vector. But, if we&

In the late '80s I created version of Augment [1]. Takeaway was a hierarchical menu that saved all of your places. So a menu of average of 7 choices, which went 7 layers deep, would address 7^7 end points, or about 823,543 items. The

Yay; progress! My experience was from last year. Will stop whining, now.

Are there more recent papers? I see one from 2016 [1] But, then again my assumptions are a bit dated as well. Was thinking: could a different horizon on a CNN mid-layer trigger a false positive? Perhaps, classify a slight rise as a bumper o

Problem is that, with no cars around for hundreds of feet, with dozens of seconds of reaction time, when you hit a low rise on the AZ Interstate, the Tesla Y will abruptly brake. This is with Autopilot OR with simple cruise control. Prett

Hard to know without being on the team, hence my WAG modifier to the guess. My reasoning is that the Model Y is built on the same chassis as the Model 3. So, a quick and dirty solution is to use the same training set results. But, it most l

My use case was autopilot steering me off the left hand side of the road at 80 MPH during a sunset [1] My (WAG) guess is that the ML corpus was based on a model 3, while the model Y, I was driving, had placed the sensors slightly higher? I

Counter opinion was Nolan Bushnell, saying that the best way to test an idea was to put a coin slot on it. This was during the era of arcade machines. But, then again, not sure how you put a coin slot on the Arpanet.

The most salient point was a hierarchy of discourse. I was working for a project management software company, at the time. So, it fit well within the mindset of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) or Bill of Materials (BOM). Usually activities

Ugh, am embarrassed by my coding style, from back then. The product still works on Windows XP, but is in storage in Iowa (am in California). Next time I visit family, will bring it out.

I met Doug Engelbart in the late 90's during his reboot sessions at Stanford. Lots of luminaries spoke, including Ted Nelson. I was there because I read every one of his group's papers, in the mid 80's, and wrote a version of

This! Was fiddling with a Tesla touch screen to do something basic. During those few seconds, autopilot decided to steer me off the road - with no shoulder - at 80 MPH (it was during a sunset). Fortunately, I caught it in time. After the pa

In 1975, my high school's "Independent Science Study" class took a field trip to the Crerar Library at the U of Chicago[1]. In the stacks was a paper on AI that changed my life[2]. It was a 3 hour drive, each way. Now it take

Live music provided a sense of belonging. Radio provided shared stories and feelings. The Walkman provided a soundtrack for my life. The iPod provided a full solo theater of emotions. Smart playlists now provide a feeling of serendipity. Bu

Much of conflict is avoided when switching from 2nd person to 1st person point of view: 1) you're not delivering on time 2) I see a delay in progress for 1), the speaker interjects an implicit judgment which the receiver has to defend

Yes. I played that game for a while: shifting value around. Making value is more satisfying. No judgement; merely personal preference.
