TSA and Cupcake-gate

-
The TSA has a response to cupcake-gate, and its a doozy.
.[...]This incident may seem like a silly move to many of our critics, but when we can’t be exactly sure of what something is, every officer has the discretion to not allow it on the plane.  This is done purely for the safety of everyone traveling

[...] Our officers are regularly briefed and trained by TSA explosives specialists on how just about any common appliance, toy or doohickey can be turned into a dangerous explosive. When you think about it, do you think an explosive would be concealed in an ominous item that would draw attention, or something as simple as a cute cupcake jar?
I know, I know, 'm seriously belaboring the obvious, but let me make it very, very simple for the folks in the TSA.
When everything is important, nothing is important.
What?  You didn't get that?  Ok, how about

When all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail.
Fine, fine, let me spell it out for you.  If you walk around looking for how "any common appliance, toy or doohickey can be turned into a dangerous explosive", you know what? You're going to find that every appliance/toy/doohickey can be turned into a dangerous explosive.

This isn't about keeping us safe from every possible danger. If it were, we may as well stay in the bedroom Ducking and Covering for the rest of our lives (and even then, what about meteors hitting us while we sleep?)

Just admit it - the cupcake incident was stupid.  And lets move on.

Note: I'm waiting for the one on nipple-rings though

Erlang, Binaries, and Garbage Collection (Sigh)

-

The nice thing about garbage-collection is that it is makes memory management absolutely transparent to you Of course, the above is true right up to the point when it stops being transparent, at which point it does a phase change from nice to clusterf**k of biblical proportions .  There are entire posts, books, and suicide notes that have been written about this, and I have no great desire to add to them, save with the minor comment that paranoia about garbage-collection is still justified , albeit only in the edge-cases for most people. That said, I'll give you that Erlang GC is in many ways much, much better positioned in this regard than, oh, Java, but it still rears up and bites you in the butt when you least expect it. ( More information about Erlang's GC vis-a-vis Java here , and Jesper's truly excellent description of Erlang's GC here ).  A story from the past should serve to illustrate this. Once upon a time, in a magical land far far away - well, Her...

Spot The Difference — Deep Learning Edition

You’ve played  Spot The Difference  at some point, right? (Of course you did. We  all  did  ). Think about what you actually did when you were trying to Spot The Difference — in fact, just do it again with SpongeBob juggling above. You’re probably doing something like 1. Quick glance to the left. 2. Quick glance to the right 3. “ Spatula on the left. Wonder if there is one on the right? ” 4. “ Yup, there is. Sriracha on the right. Is that on the left? ” 5. “ Nope! It’s a ketchup bottle on the left! And there is nothing on the plate below it! ” etc. To summarize, what you’re basically doing is looking at each image alternately, identifying objects in each image, and trying to find the same object in the other image. As it turns out, what most Deep Learning systems do is something quite different. They basically do something like this 1. Figure out everything in the first image (“ ketchup bottle at 1 o-clock, empty plate at 3 o-clock, spatula at 1...
