I agree this is somewhat manufactured. Both Hugo de Garis and Ben Goertzel identified as Cosmists in the mid to late 00s, but I don't remember it ever coming up on SL4/singularitarian/transhumanist mailing lists as a major source of ideas at their peak.
This works by locking down the edges of the system (e.g. tools) not to do stupid things, and maintaining provenance information end to end to inform that. That’s great if the attack is “send this sensitive document to baddie@evil.com” but it offers nothing when workflows devolve into pure text, where the attack could be to misinform or actively social engineer. I suppose you’d class this as necessary but not sufficient.
I've always found magrittr mildly hilarious. R has vestigial Lisp DNA, but somehow the R implementation of pipes was incredibly long, complex and produced stack traces, so it moved to a native C implementation, which nevertheless has to manipulate the SEXPs that secretly underlie the language. Compared to something like Clojure's threading macros it's wild how much work is needed.
It’s an incredibly privileged position, I accept, but I don’t want to work somewhere that doesn’t want to hire the real me, and so I’ve always just been 100% honest and assumed things will work out.
This is definitely a cromulent idea, although I’ve realised lately that ChatGPT with search turned on is a great balance of tailoring to my exact use case and avoiding hallucinations.
I have no idea what my accent is at this point. I spent enough time in Oxford that I can pass as posh if I need to, moved to a part of Cheshire that had a huge scouse population, then moved to Watford and then Kent and picked up my dad’s dreadful habit of talking vaguely cockney to tradespeople. Now I live in Sheffield and me and my kids have random a mix of long and short As. I also grew up in lower-case parts of the internet and drive myself mad at work switching between that and grown up casing, so it’s not just vocal dialects anymore.
The bottom layer of C4 is still basically UML, although everyone usually skips that.
I love IcePanel and would recommend everyone try it. But like all these things, it requires an almost superhuman level of commitment to get value out of it. It has built in mechanisms to keep you honest and up to date and I have found it useful both the strategic and tactical level when used right. But ultimately it’s difficult to build an engineering culture around long-term, living diagrams. The moment everything gets out of sync it might as well just be a photo of a whiteboard. I strongly suspect this sort of platform plus AI will be a great combination (I think at least one HNer is working on exactly that and I assume IcePanel too).
Humans can do _most_ of what you said in real time, both providers using bespoke software and club analysts using off the shelf stuff like Sportscode. For full positional data on every player, every frame then yes, computer vision is doing most of the work but the quality isn't always great. Providers with in-stadium multi-camera systems provide great data, but you don't necessarily have access to the size of dataset you'd want for recruitment, and so lower-quality broadcast tracking exists (with all the problems you can imagine like missing players, occlusions, crazy camerawork etc). Most clubs also have wearables for their own analysis. Almost every fully automated broadcast tracking solution has hit a wall (sometimes on the first day of a season) in terms of quality that is often only solved by human QA, or by just discarding some games, so this is far from a completely solved problem. Fun domain to work in, but lots of horrible edge cases.
Multiple companies sell Rugby data of various levels of granularity. I don't know if rugby has all the toys (i.e. full tracking outside of wearables) that soccer or American football have because there's less money sloshing around.
Most pros now have the vests, but also they tend to have additional tech in their mouth guards. This is mostly for CTE monitoring, but I imagine that there's other data that can be extracted
