Still figuring it out. 🇮🇪/🇪🇺

It was an honor as a lifelong Arsenal fan tonight to watch this team bring it right down to the wire, toe to toe to an excellent PSG team. PSG: bien joué, c’était serré, you have a real team here. Arsenal: only forward.

@finners_99 @the_transit_guy de Gaulle of you to say that

The only way to extend a boolean is to add another one.

At LinkedIn, we run stateful systems on bare metal servers as a first class citizen on Kubernetes. That's why we built our own stateful workload operator.
Join our #KubeCon talk to learn why StatefulSet didn't cut it for us and how we work with local storage.

Using an enum instead of a boolean, when applicable, isn't over-engineering.

It's anti-under-engineering.

.@ftrain's 'How to Be Polite' is just over ten years old and aging beautifully in its importance. While it can be hard even unrewarding it's worth saying—being polite, being kind, online, is both an increasingly differentiating and increasingly moral act.

Fun to finally catch up with President @EmmanuelMacron IRL on his ambitious plans to 10x AI infrastructure in France and make the EU more friendly for open source AI. He’s cooking

Failing vintage.

The FAA in the context of NOTAM coined what might be the perfect phrase for systems, that operatively don't get, and then effectively can't be, uplifted or replaced and which increasingly gate an organization's future potential.

I can't think of another branch of computation receiving such resistance on the long run [1] while making progress as NNs. If this approach does not solve, it's ideally explained, at some point, why after 81 years it just won't go away.

[1] Ok, maybe Relational Algebra/SQL :)

[Bill de hÓra @dehora]

Wish more commentators and professionals would understand and clarify that neural networks fall out of the same underpinnings that gave you: types, lambda calculus, logic programming, von neumann architecture, object orientation. NNs aren't some weird other, they're complimentary

[Bill de hÓra @dehora]

And so by way of receipts, here are the references for the first paper on neural networks, 81 years ago.

[Bill de hÓra @dehora]

@bradneuberg And in the spirit of alternate histories, it's interesting to wonder what might have happened if the Fifth Generation Computer Systems program invested into neural networks and not just logic programming.

[Bill de hÓra @dehora]

@bradneuberg Solid individual contribution, if not quite single handed. Got a Turing not long after Perceptrons. But progress was being made on nonlinear problems by the late 60s, backprop was emerging by the early 70s. So yeah, lost a decade or so until the PDP group really went after it.

Went to https://t.co/FML8mOFlxE to pick up a book, and saw it has subscription options. The pro level (read everything / download one thing / buy anything half price) seems bargainsome at $24.99. Any reasons to not sub?

We are as far away from The Lord of the Rings (2001) as it was from The Lord of the Rings (1978)

From the rooftops. A little, a lot, goes a long way.

@definev2 In my experience, more smaller changes are more stable than less big releases.

The concern around machine learning and artificial intelligence can be real, but law like this won't help. I'd rather see legislation on utilization and/or bad actors than technology. In the sense we care about law around music rather than law around musical instruments.

[Bill de hÓra @dehora]

SB1047 is a poster child of legislation-as-innovation, designed on a credulous, inexpert, vision of the future rather than actual concerns. There is no credible notion of what to regulate for or against. It's also, astonishingly bad for US interests. It should be walked back.
