The problem comes when you need to peer inside the black box because it's working counter to your expectations of it: With most systems you can do so by reading code / documentation etc. With ML you're kind of stuck. You can

This often devolves into extremely fragile systems instead. For instance, let's say you failed to load an image on your web site. Would you rather the web site still work with the image broken or just completely fail? What if that imag

What is inefficient about the for loop? It does the same amount of comparisons, the same amount of list accesses, and the same amount of assignments to temporaries.

Sorry, I could have stated this clearer. The point is that it basically gives law enforcement an extremely broad hammer for forcing service providers to design their systems however they want to help law enforcement, over their users. It wo

So the "best practices" under EARN IT are to be made by a committee of law enforcement agencies, with no congressional oversight.

No human review system can scale to automated reporting; the number of attackers you have is not bounded by your legitimate user base. The system you describe would basically mean every online service that allows human interaction would alw

It's not that fossil fuels are a bad investment. They happened to underperform over the past year due to the Russia/Saudi Arabia oil price war.

It's not just the ISP that are oversubscribed. Google probably didn't budget for people all around the world suddenly sitting at home watching Youtube all of a sudden.

Anything where there isn't something else limiting supply (prestige, luxury, brand, IP rights, network effects, zoning) is going to have slim profit margins. That includes most goods and commodities. That means that "Big Revenue a

The blame lies somewhere between Safari and Chrome. The "None" value was added after the Safari implementation, and then Chrome wants to do the default-changing this year now. Unfortunately it looks like the fix isn't going t

If it did that's pure luck. It could have also had another bug. Rolling back keeps your service up. Pushing forward faster maybe gets your service back up, or maybe breaks it some other way. When dealing with a complex system, roll bac

How does this actually fit with what the order says. It's supposed to affect people working with the regime, not tens of millions of people. Is this Adobe just trying to say "fuck you" to a whole country, or are their lawyers

Do you have an error log on your web server? Does that only collect data that is essential or do you do something like log a referer or IP address or user id in hopes that it might be useful un debugging. Is there an access log? What happ

So it feels like the way YouTube's algorithms work re suggested videos is heavily related to "what other videos did the people who watched this video watch?". Now imagine you have a video that expresses some conspiracy theory

I think the author decides that "raw data" means "reality", when I don't think that's a useful definition, as it, as the author showed, leads to the conclusion that raw data does not exist. Instead, a more usef

So inflation + capital gains taxes serve as a brake against spiraling wealth growth, and that's a good thing for the economy.

I'm unsure of what this is measuring. Is it wealth? Is it income? Also, it's unclear it measures what it seeks to measure. Imagine a (poor) rural area and a (rich) urban area. Let's assume there's 0 net migration, but 10
