I must warn that it’s not easy. I thought a meditation retreat would be a great way to unplug and take it easy but the schedule is intense and meditating that much requires great energy and focus.
Highly recommended but know what you’re getting into :)
There was a great podcast about PPP on Darknet Diaries a few weeks ago - their relentlessness and persistence is so inspiring: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/43/
whether the increase in the expected present value of your future earnings justifies the present-day lower salary is a question of magnitudes and probabilities
i think this kind of thing getting more realistic is a backdoor way to get governments to pay attention to verifiable identity.
what’s to stop someone from making a video of the CEO of a public company announcing bad news while shorting the stock?
I know it’s a hard problem but is it really that hard?
I know the same could be said for many public companies but that doesn’t change my feeling that they many of them are overvalued and overrated.
All of those things sound great and important but there are many competitors who also do those and again, the switching costs for the user are low.
Meeting room support and scheduling integration don’t sound like they justify the massive valuation but I’m totally open to the possibility that I just don’t “get it”.
Censorship is doomed.
Personally I found doing a MSc in Statistics after 3 years of working to be incredibly valuable. I think part of it was it gave me permission to view myself as an expert (although you don’t really need a MSc to do that as you can tell by switching on the news lol)
I’d also recommend considering a micro vacation to somewhere with a spa and just relax in some hot springs for a couple days.
Also exercise!
On the one hand, there are so many things they do here that make me feel like they’re in the future. On the other hand, every fifth person has a flip phone, the WiFi sucks, you can’t buy a travel SIM card at the mall, and there are CD/DVD stores everywhere.
I can’t help but feel part of their problem is how unwilling most local Japanese people I’ve met here are to break the rules.
Genuinely not sure why people are downvoting you.
You can edit a video to make it appear as safe content and it’s a cat and mouse game because you need humans to annotate those variations before a ML system can detect them (an unsupervised model will likely lead to loads of false positives).
I think the solution is better control over what we see and who we trust enough to allow them to broadcast into our brains.
If I scrape millions of photos from Facebook (including yours) then train a differentially private model that can extract features from a new face, is that a privacy violation?
A differentially private model is one in which you cannot identify the inclusion of any single datapoint which means you cannot tell the difference between a model trained on the dataset and the same model trained the same dataset with the addition of your one datapoint.
You might argue it’s a privacy violation because the scraping process might involve people looking at your images but if that was fully automated and nobody ever looked at your images - the model can be trained then the data inmediately deleted...
The thing about table-topics is you can't simulate it. People think they can do it until they get up in front of an audience of strangers. It's like that Mike Tyson quote: "everyone has a plan until they get punthed in the face" (couldn't resist)
