what are they shredding

gentle moss May 24, 2019, 8:07 AM

#

gooooood question

rough sapphire May 24, 2019, 8:07 AM

#

off-site shredding huh.. sounds very lucrative

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:08 AM

#

Depending on what you're shredding, it's required to witness the destruction of the data

#

That's why you have mobile harddisk shredding companies

rough sapphire May 24, 2019, 8:08 AM

#

I thought it was just paper..

#

pretty cool..

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:08 AM

#

The logo on the side makes me thing this may be for harddisks as well

#

But it could be just papers

viral parrot May 24, 2019, 8:09 AM

#

no they destory HDDs and memory cards

#

mostly papers though

#

companies like the one i work for has to have a licensed company to delete data or use a safe destruction method

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:10 AM

#

My gf's father recently had to witness the shredding of harddisks that originally contained medical data

#

So, they had a similar truck on site that did the shredding

rough sapphire May 24, 2019, 8:11 AM

#

people are getting really paranoid..

viral parrot May 24, 2019, 8:11 AM

#

our process inhouse is "use a magnet thing"

#

I use then a 45 Tonn hydralic press and a metal spike to penetrage the entire HDD

rough sapphire May 24, 2019, 8:11 AM

#

or maybe privacy is less valued over here.. it's relative

#

o.o

viral parrot May 24, 2019, 8:12 AM

#

we have to do this by law @rough sapphire

#

mediacal data is kept on record for minimum 10 years, and have to be safely disposed of after

#

when i worked in the army the process was even more ridiculous

rough sapphire May 24, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

I remember some companies were trying to digitize them onto a platform where it can be anonymized..

viral parrot May 24, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

it is very hard to anonymize patient information

#

so instead of trying, we are forced to follow strict rules around managing data

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:15 AM

#

Anonymization is basically impossible, since it doesn't take that much data to be able to trace it back to the individual

gentle moss May 24, 2019, 8:15 AM

#

the NHS "anonymised" it and then flogged chunks of it off to private companies

#

yaaaaaaaaay

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:15 AM

#

And medical data contains a lot of personal details by definition

gentle moss May 24, 2019, 8:15 AM

#

insurance companies and the likes

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:15 AM

#

It's the same with "anonymized" surveys that record your gender, age, postal code, profession, ...

gentle moss May 24, 2019, 8:16 AM

#

who are the exact type of people to have a dataset that will allow them to deanonymise you

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:16 AM

#

They don't strictly record your name, but it's not difficult to patch it back together if you have a couple of other datasets

#

yeah

#

they will

gentle moss May 24, 2019, 8:16 AM

#

"this person was admitted to hospital with a broken leg, head wound and whiplash"

#

"they are from postcode x"

#

"oh look we have info on a car crash in that postcode around the same time from person"

#

boom, they now have your medical history and can use that to fuck with your premiums on other insurance products

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:17 AM

#

Now just imagine buying some data from social platforms like Facebook and using matching in the same way...

#

Which totally doesn't happen

gentle moss May 24, 2019, 8:18 AM

#

totally doesn't happen

#

that'd be unethical

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:18 AM

#

haha

gentle moss May 24, 2019, 8:18 AM

#

it's not like someone would use social media information to checks notes try to learn absolutely everything about you to target and profile you more accurately

#

i also like the fact that data destruction company is called "Restore"

rough sapphire May 24, 2019, 8:19 AM

#

I remember this one kaggle by imdb I think

#

people were able to deanonymize users based on how they reated movies

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:23 AM

#

for most advertisement companies, it's not even necessary to completely deanonymize an individual

#

We're not as unique as we like to think we are, so they just need to have close matches to predict the kind of ads will work on you

#

It doesn't matter if it's a hit or miss if that other individual is very similar to you

gentle moss May 24, 2019, 8:31 AM

I've seen some shit that people on reddit do.. that's scary

#

like find a person's address based on a photo they took and posted on facebook

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:32 AM

#

well, now imagine an organisation that actually has a lot more information than a single photo and using that

rough sapphire May 24, 2019, 8:33 AM

#

all geolocation.. partial image search.. crowdsourcing.. pretty cool

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:33 AM

#

A crowd-sourced search of a single photo is ultimately not that impressive

4chan finding a flag based in planes flying over.

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:33 AM

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:35 AM

#

Now imagine an organisation like the NSA, with more experienced analysts having access to more information doing an investigation on an individual

rough sapphire May 24, 2019, 8:36 AM

#

im sure they sit on a lot of things they can't or have no interest in prosecuting

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 8:36 AM

#

I really doubt NSA on average is anywhere close to the sophistication of 4chan finding that flag

#

a special very expensive task team yes, but on average no way

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:37 AM

#

That flag-finding thing of 4chan was more or less a one time event

#

A huge selection bias right there

rough sapphire May 24, 2019, 8:37 AM

#

they really came together.. so epic..

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 8:37 AM

#

one time because of motivation not because of capability

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:38 AM

#

I'm not claiming the NSA does that for every individual in every instance, but they will have a much better success rate for individual investigations, especially if we take into account the information they have access to

#

They don't have to do it based off a single photograph

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 8:39 AM

#

sure, i don't actually know what the topic was up above

#

just saying 4chan finding that flag is not something NSA would be capable of unless a LOT of money was thrown at it to form said task team

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:40 AM

#

I don't think 4chan will be able to pull something off that an agency with a large budget and experienced analysts isn't

#

That doesn't mean it's a routine investigation

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 8:40 AM

#

motivated internet warrior > experienced analyst probably

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 8:41 AM

#

No, I don't accept that

gentle moss May 24, 2019, 8:41 AM

#

nor do i

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 8:41 AM

#

the differentiating factor is availability of information and ability to task additional resources

#

i don't have too much experience in this. I ran an efficacy test program for a collaboration platform intended to be used by our local intelligence community, and while it was a mock scenario, the way it was played by the analysts was not any more impressive than what 4channers do on the regular

rough sapphire May 24, 2019, 8:49 AM

#

I accept that

#

:3

#

people on the internet are more persistent

gentle moss May 24, 2019, 8:53 AM

#

i disagree with that too :P

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 8:57 AM

#

the idea of a 'skilled analyst' being some kind of super capable individual is the same myth is as the idea of a 'skilled GP'. Spend a couple hours observing those groups and you see that they have the same distribution of skill as any office staff in any organisation, and don't possess any special skills outside their training which mostly reduces to if-then flowcharts

#

it's not really possible to create a large team of >average skilled individuals, it doesn't scale

#

the stuff you see in espionage drama entertainment is about as realistic as the hacking scenes in action movies

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:00 AM

#

However, nothing you said supports the claim that 4chan should be able to accomplish something that the NSA can't

#

In fact, you're romanticising internet culture in the same way you may romanticize espionage based on movies

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:01 AM

#

that's not really a fallible or testable claim, I don't see how focusing on that is productive

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:01 AM

#

that's the claim you made

#

"motivated internet warrior > experienced analyst probably"

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:02 AM

#

keyword probably

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:02 AM

#

yes, and it's the thing we don't accept

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:02 AM

#

ok

#

?

#

it's a discussion and exchange of views, not a school debate

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:03 AM

#

You're saying that the skill distribution in the NSA would be the same as for every organisation, arguing that they won't have "super analysts", while allowing 4chan to have "super analysts" to argue that 4chan would probably have analysts better than the NSA

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:03 AM

#

i shared whatever relevant personal experience I have, if you it doesn't change your POV, cool

#

4chan doesn't have super analysts, it has a number of very persistent obsessive and technically capable folk

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:04 AM

#

And a huge selection bias

sand goblet May 24, 2019, 9:05 AM

#

4chan has proven that it's good at manipulating data, not systems

Did The U.S. Intelligence Community Fall for an Internet Prank?

The intelligence community is released a report alleging that Russian agents have compromising information on Trump, but anonymous 4Chan users claim to have created the story out of thin air. by C. Mitchell Shaw

#

sand goblet May 24, 2019, 9:06 AM

#

yes, data manipulation

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:07 AM

#

Hmm, I would still argue that only evidence of a very large selection and availability bias

#

We don't see most of the stuff the NSA does, we see a couple of very famous cases from 4chan

#

It's cool, but there have been a lot of cases on 4chan that went nowhere

#

My guess is that the probability of having a similar case solved by the NSA is way higher than a case being solved by 4chan

#

You just don't see it

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:08 AM

#

yes, you said that about 30 minutes ago

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:08 AM

#

And you've provided nothing that contradicts it

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:08 AM

#

no one is trying to contradict you? I provided whatever interesting tidbits I had to add to the discussion

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

True, granted

#

I like debates

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:11 AM

#

if i were placed to do it at some intelligence agency, i'd actually to a public event hackathon type thing with a similar setup

hide random thing in random place within jurisdiction of my agency with a life feed webcam

internet vs a team at my agency
some kind of prize or motivation and engagement campaign to get internet involved

#

but even writing that, I'm pretty sure the team would lose

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:15 AM

#

That's still a one-off crowd-sourcing type of event. I think the agency would lose on account of having a crowd-sourcing all-join-in type of event

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:16 AM

#

it'd lose on access to specialist skills and the sheer number of hands on deck

#

in the case of the flag, one of the big clues was identifying planes flying past the camera

sand goblet May 24, 2019, 9:16 AM

#

it's basically the Russian war tactic

#

just keep throwing people at it

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:16 AM

#

there's only a couple hundred people in the world who can do that on a fast turnaround

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:16 AM

#

Yes, it would, which wouldn't mean that motivated internet warrior > experienced analyst, it would mean that someone somewhere is getting lucky before any type of skill would pay off

#

However, if you pit the same two individuals against each other, one motivated internet warrior and one experienced analyst, and throw multiple cases at them, I think the analyst is going to have the upperhand

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:18 AM

#

that's a very different scenario from what was discussed before

#

i'd agree to that, that's not even a question

#

we were comparing 4chan as a whole to nsa as a whole, not a random 4channer to a random nsa analyst

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:19 AM

#

I would argue that the same thing would still hold then

#

There were a couple of famous cases that 4chan solved, but most cases just go unnoticed and are never solved

#

So, throwing multiple cases at 4chan and the NSA, NSA is going to solve more in the long run

gentle moss May 24, 2019, 9:20 AM

#

tbh i think Bellingcat is more impressive than 4chan

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:22 AM

#

you keep subtly changing the goalposts

#

throwing cases at 4chan on average gets a reply with dick picks, clearly it's not as effective at throwing cases at nsa

sand goblet May 24, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

that is true

dry zenith May 24, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

it's also not the original premise

sand goblet May 24, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

also: are we reaching the nirvana of the fallacy fallacy?

oak tangle May 24, 2019, 9:26 AM

#

What was the original premise in your opinion?

#

One of your statements was motivated internet warrior > experienced analyst probably

#

Which then wasn't suddenly the right premise to debate about

#

And originally we were talking about just saying 4chan finding that flag is not something NSA would be capable of unless a LOT of money was thrown at it to form said task team

#

Of which I think that if you were to throw multiple similar cases at 4chan and the NSA, the NSA would come out on top in the long run

@austere walrus I do suspect you're right to an extent

#

But i think it's still pretty linear for an intro course

#

it diverges a lot more after that

#

But i also think calculus is less linear than you think

austere walrus May 25, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

if you look a pool of the highly recommended linear algebra courses, you'll find that they tackles topics in wildly different orders

#

some will emphasize the geometry first, others will emphasize the more theoretical aspects

proper dune May 25, 2019, 9:10 AM

#

After learning basic calculus, you can either:

teach formalisation of calculus a la real analysis
teach multivariate calculus
teach ordinary differential equations

#

and none of those depend on anything other than single variable calculus

#

the only reason it's given in the order it is given in right now is because the curriculum is designed for engineers and physicists

#

who need to be taught in this order

austere walrus May 25, 2019, 9:11 AM

#

I think that's more of a case of branching into focusing on different topics, and even then there's a fairly common roder

#

out of what you mentioned, you usually want to go multivariate (exposure) -> real analysis (depth/back to basics) -> ODE

proper dune May 25, 2019, 9:12 AM

#

sounds pretty arbitrary to me. Why not formalise what you learnt properly and then extend it into multiple dimensions?

austere walrus May 25, 2019, 9:13 AM

#

because you need more exposure before you understand the signficance of the depth

proper dune May 25, 2019, 9:13 AM

#

and most people doing calc subjects dont do real anal at all because they're engineers/physicists/etc

#

do you really?

proper dune May 25, 2019, 9:14 AM

#

at my uni the math major's first calc class (intro calc is done in HS) is real analysis like, you learn all the fun formal stuff (epsilon delta for limits, epsilon N for convergence, etc)

#

before you start multivariate

austere walrus May 25, 2019, 9:14 AM

multivariate stuff is learned in high school usually

Okay @wet steppe, since you are constantly praising RabbitMQ, let's see what you think of this one

#

Around a year ago, I implemented a code jam system on the site for this server, along with a few other things

#

One of the things I implemented was a RabbitMQ setup allowing the site to give the bot actions to run, live

#

So the site would shove a message down a queue and the bot pulled the message off and actioned it

#

And it worked

#

One of the things it was used for was sending a message and applying a jammer role when someone had a successful application

#

However, at some point, we noticed a problem

#

Some users were not being assigned their roles, some messages weren't being sent

#

Since then, when the bot restarts, occasionally it'll get one of these old messages and action it

#

That started happening maybe 8 months ago

#

this was last wednesday, we haven't used that jam system in over 4 months lol

sand goblet May 26, 2019, 8:01 PM

#

Since then, the bot has been restarted a ton of times, the container containing RabbitMQ has been destroyed and recreated, and the entire infrastructure has been moved to another server

wet steppe May 26, 2019, 8:01 PM

#

lol

sand goblet May 26, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

RabbitMQ has stated since the beginning that the queues are empty

#

And none of this touches any database or permanent storage

#

So what do you think it is? :P

wet steppe May 26, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

this is really weird
if its sending messages that it doesn't say are in the queue

sand goblet May 26, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

It's something that's confused and frustrated everyone for a while lol

#

RabbitMQ is being ditched with the Django rewrite and being replaced with ajax polling

#

But I'm still curious what could cause this

#

So, any ideas?

wet steppe May 26, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

no sorry

this is strange

wooden kindle May 26, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

Python does have functional characteristics, like lazy evaluation

#

It's just expressing stuff is whack

#

Here is my code for counting duplicates in a string


import Data.Char (toLower)

duplicateCount :: String -> Int
duplicateCount "" = 0
duplicateCount str
  | not (null [x | x <- str, x `elem` ['A'..'Z']]) = duplicateCount (map toLower str)
duplicateCount (x:xs)
  |  x `elem` xs = 1 + duplicateCount newString
  | otherwise = duplicateCount newString
  where newString = filter (/=x) xs

This is the top solution (best practice)

import Data.Char
import Data.List

duplicateCount :: String -> Int
duplicateCount = length . filter ((> 1) . length) . group . sort . map toLower

wooden kindle May 26, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

That is a function that takes a function (which takes an integer and returns a string) and a list of integers as arguments and returns a list of integers

Even more whack, haskell functions only ever actually accept 1 parameter

        for z in 0..LINES {
            for i in z * LSIZE..(z + 1) * LSIZE {
                s.process(v[i], i + 1);

            assert_eq!(s.action(), exp[z]);
}```

vestal briar May 26, 2019, 11:29 PM

The HTML5 spec is also something you spend too much time reading. Always more interesting stuff.

Arduino is pretty strong though. Once you get past the IDE idiosyncrasies/random env issues. Amazing what you can do with 8KB of heap. 😄

vestal briar May 26, 2019, 11:38 PM

inNative WebAssembly Runtime

Introducing inNative - inNative WebAssembly Runtime

Many people are excited about WebAssembly, which lets you use languages other than JavaScript on the web. With WebAssembly, you can run C, C++, Rust, Zig, Go, or pretty much anything that compiles to LLVM in a sandbox running inside your web browser. This has performance cost...

#

Non-sandboxed wasm running at 95% the speed of native code

#

Good shit

#

The only reason we haven’t already gotten to 99% native speed is because WebAssembly’s 32-bit integer indexes break LLVM’s vectorization due to pointer aliasing. Once fixed-width SIMD instructions are added, native WebAssembly will close the gap entirely, because this vectorization analysis will have happened before the WebAssembly compilation step.

sand goblet May 28, 2019, 12:08 AM

#

Why is nobody exited

#

This is a huuuge deal

wet steppe May 28, 2019, 12:08 AM

#

cos WASM fans always over-exaggerate the speed of WASM

sand goblet May 28, 2019, 12:09 AM

#

There are benchmarks in the article

wet steppe May 28, 2019, 12:09 AM

#

yeah but benchmarks can be deceptive
cos they cherry pick

#

I'm not saying what they are doing is impossible
but I'm skeptical by default

sand goblet May 28, 2019, 12:10 AM

It's kind of hard to say that when you have a new runtime though

To be honest, if a person blocks you, then I don't think calling them out publically on a server with over 17k users is appropriate

#

hmm yeah

#

IDK how to swing it more 😄

gentle moss May 28, 2019, 10:12 AM

#

well if you're quantizing the notes to beats it'll sound robotish

#

with modern DAW's you can generally add a "groove" or "swing" amount to stuff

#

but then there's a lot of manual note placement and that

wet steppe May 28, 2019, 10:13 AM

#

oh yeah its got a swing setting
I already turned that on 😂

#

I can turn the swing ratio up a bit

gentle moss May 28, 2019, 10:13 AM

for the WHOLE track though?

wet steppe May 28, 2019, 10:14 AM

right now its at 60% swing ratio for whole thing

gentle moss May 28, 2019, 10:14 AM

gentle moss May 28, 2019, 10:15 AM

interesting, rather than playing at regular intervals

wet steppe May 28, 2019, 10:15 AM

should the double bass be straight and the trumpet be swung

tame terrace May 28, 2019, 10:15 AM

the trumpet is the reason it sounds so robotic.

rather than "bah dah dah dah doo dah" what about "bah daaaah, dah doo dah duuuhhh"

wet steppe May 28, 2019, 10:15 AM

#

hmm yeah more varied rhythm

tame terrace May 28, 2019, 10:15 AM

rhythmically the trumpet is one bar of copypaste

through the whole thing

you can't do that, no human could play that either

I wonder if my Google Assistant will know what I look like?

"We decode the predicted face feature into a image of the person’s face using a reconstruction model. We use the AVSpeech dataset, comprised of millions of video segments from YouTube"

wet steppe May 28, 2019, 12:12 PM

hmm

vapid bluff May 28, 2019, 12:12 PM

#

i mean it makes sense since people do it all the time, we hear someone speak on a podcast and try to imagine what they look like

#

ive just never thought about an ai doing it

#

and with such accuracy too

#

like how much can you infer about the shape of a person's skull/jaw etc just from their voice? thats the sort of stuff an ai would probably calculate better than people.

#

then again idk if we have something like that built into our brains or not

i dont get it. isnt the point of the whole thing to produce images of specific individuals?

or as close to as possible?

grave phoenix May 28, 2019, 12:21 PM

#

That's the ideal scenario

fervent dock May 28, 2019, 12:21 PM

#

I think the model learns to link facial features to voice features, right? It's not really possible to reconstruct someone's face from their voice, at least I don't think it is

#

But you can approximate an old asian person if you hear an asian accent and old person voice

#

Age, gender and accent and probably quite easy to retrieve

#

During training, our model learns voice-face correlations that allow it to produce images that capture various physical attributes of the speakers such as age, gender and ethnicity.

vapid bluff May 28, 2019, 12:25 PM

#

Our goal in this work is to study to what extent we can infer how a person looks from the way they talk i shouldnt have skipped the introduction

fervent dock May 28, 2019, 12:26 PM

#

Yeah they take the encoder-decoder approach

#

The first model creates a 4096-D feature vector

#

And the second builds a face based on these features

@vapid bluff the facial features it picks up are awful. essentially, it's just picking up your accent and vague features like "male" and trying to find correlations with the face

#

so essentially, it notices your voice is deep like a guy's and you speak with AAVE, it will guess you're a black guy

How many music codacs smooth the sampeling steps?

gentle moss May 29, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

and, to be fair, you can interpolate frames to a very high level with B, P and I frame settings in most codecs

#

that's... a misnomer.

#

your suggestion moves the burden of rendering onto the client rather than at rendering

#

by rendering a series of I-frames and leaving it to the client to figure out the B/P frame values

vestal briar May 29, 2019, 2:11 PM
