Assuming a perfect system this still fails because you have now locked in all the law abiding citizens with someone who has proven they are ready to break the rules, effectively inventing a hostage situation out of thin air whereby a miscreant can terrorize their fellow passengers for the duration of the police response time.
This is a legacy design decision all the way back to iOS 1 before notifications existed. SMS messages used to be delivered through the same modal system. I believe the Apple ID and update messages are now banner notifications, and the battery alert gives you an easy way to turn on Low Power Mode, although I agree there should be a way to make that a banner notif as well.
It is all downstream of the loss of the manufacturing industry in America. In the 50s you could entrust a random guy to build a liquid rocket engine in a dusty garage because he spent every day of his career building various pipes and combustion chambers. All of these guys are now dead or retired so when you try to build hardware today you get new grads who settle on LIDAR and computer vision not because it is the best choice but because it is literally all that they are familiar with; the old solutions have all ceased to exist within the minds of employees and classrooms.
This is clearly intended for use in web applications so a JS runtime comes for free and the package is only 8.2kb
Hey, this is great! Could you make it so clicking on the video ID in the bottom right corner opens the full video in a new tab? It would be nice to be able to like / save the whole video for later. Kinda like DVR.
At long last: A way to write web apps in Python while preserving the un-Googleable naming conventions of JavaScript frameworks
Awesome, so in addition to confusing aircraft and sending them in the wrong directions, Putin can also stop everyone from driving in Europe whenever he feels like it.
That essay also loosely inspired the opening scene of Lord of War, which showcases the journey of a bullet from an underground mine to an Eastern European factory all the way into the head of an African child soldier.
Wait till you find out about diesel generators!
I also wrote a Swift CLI that wraps over the Vision framework: https://github.com/nexuist/seev
Text extraction is included (including the ability to specify custom words not found in the dictionary) but there are also utilities for face detection, classification, etc.
As a steelman, wouldn't the abundance of infinitely generate-able situations make it _easier_ for us to develop strong theories and models? The bottleneck has always been data. You have to do expensive work in the real world and accurately measure it before you can start fitting lines to it. If we were to birth an e.g. atomically accurate ML model of quantum physics, I bet it wouldn't take long until we have mathematical theories that explain why it works. Our current problem is that this stuff is super hard to manipulate and measure.
The boss of Vastaamo, Ville Tapio, was also convicted of failing to protect his customers' sensitive data.
Investigations found that the databases were vulnerable and open to the internet without proper protections.
He was given a suspended three-month prison sentence last year.
The company which was once a highly regarded and successful business in Finland collapsed after the hack.
Copy and pasted from the article.
This is really awesome work! How did you classify so many links?
No, not at all, given the context of stock trading. Stocks do not trade the same way today as they did in 2014. Similarly there is no point in using trading data from the 1850s given that that kind of market with those kinds of traders will never ever exist again. You can only pick a few recent months or weeks to capture current trading sentiment/technique and even then everything could get blown away after the next rate hike or international incident.
Generally I don't think there is any alpha in training transformers to predict the next price point just given historical price data, because the price is determined by humans (and algorithms trained on data generated by humans) that react to news. If you can predict the news, you can probably predict stock prices, but if you could predict the future you'd have AGI and not some dingy time series calculator.
I've sort of come around on this. Yes, everything you listed is valuable and good. But the reality is all of it was built with money that came from banks and investors. The only reason to do anything scientific is to get investors to give you money. If you do something scientific that does not make people want to give you money you will impact no lives. In this way gaming financial markets is indeed the only point to doing anything ambitious at all.
Right, the value add should obviously remain locked in the hands of a few elite professionals and the rest of the world should have to beg and grovel at their feet to get anything done. Any attempts to simplify workflows should be looked at with scorn and an aura of arrogance.
Do you work at Oracle?
I hope one day we can drop the corporate facade so these blog posts can be two to three sentences of "Our company sucked. Microsoft wanted to give me a fuck ton of money. I decided to take it. Some other guy is in charge now. Good luck!"
Do you not see the difference in American companies asking Americans to pressure their American representatives on American legislature, vs. a Chinese company doing this? If Google tried to do the same thing in China when the CCP were debating banning YouTube their mainland employees would have been arrested and "disappeared."
This is cool! Could we get an IPO option? Maybe there can be a way to set how the market responds and see how that directly impacts your net worth as a founder.
Siri is really quite dumb. I am confident that a 7B model would be able to provide better responses in over 90% of user queries. I can't even get Siri to reliably set a timer.
I think you're missing the bigger picture - these are the failures that happened even with all the rigorous testing and procedures. Imagine what would have happened without these regulations in place. Of the incidents that seriously injured or killed astronauts, none happened in space. Of the incidents that happened in space, none led to the loss of any life. It's remarkable, especially considering manned flight itself had only been achieved 50 years earlier.
If it makes money who cares if it counts as real intelligence? If we can automate ourselves into a post scarcity society then everyone and everything is free to be as intelligent and as stupid as it desires.
If we end up developing AGI, computer science itself will become useless since all economic progress will be driven by businesses using their own AGI to develop software. It won't matter in the same way nobody designs microchips by hand anymore.
I mean, it's video streaming, it's not as easy as rocket science and orbital dynamics.
It's not a "mental health crisis," it's schooling in general. The suicide rate among teenagers plummets when school goes out, or in the case of 2020, when a pandemic forces everyone to stay at home.

That's because DJI was founded in Shenzhen, a "Special Economic Zone" which "have province-level authority on economic administration." "SEZ's local congress and government have authority to legislate."[1]
In essence, it walks, talks, and acts like a Western company because it was founded in a part of China explicitly designed to encourage Western-style capitalism.

With all due respect, as a European myself, the ones who are passionate about tech do not stay out of the US for long. There are notable exceptions of course but the immigration statistics and subsequent brain drain is undeniable. The only notable tech company to come out of Europe in the last decade is Spotify.
Goldman Sachs famously has a proprietary-everything dev environment that works rather well for the kind of applications they need: https://calpaterson.com/bank-python.html
There is almost no overlap between cars that sell well in Europe and cars that sell well in the US (like this article is about). Two entirely different markets.
A fast and efficient government will encourage smarter people to join the ranks and make it more competent. No good developer wants to work in an organization where builds take 8 hours overnight, in much the same way that no good bureaucrat wants to work in an organization where regulations take 8 years to change.
