"Because she is going to be alone and I think she's going to remain with some of her ambivalence, you know, that we're going to be given this revelation of hers that her father and Nikola have chosen. And we're going to sort of see her continue to be stranded in not choosing land or, in fact, her only choice in that moment is to feel that if she sees Nicholas, she won't approach her. Yes. Yeah, and maybe in that way it is she's sort of a little bit more reconciled with a passive detachment or I don't know. I don't know if you felt this way, but I approved of her decision. Her hypothetical decision to not approach Nikola there. That seemed and we could call that detachment, right? But it seemed differently detached, somehow. No, it's more like respect. Yeah. And it's an interesting parallel with that last scene of the father when of course he is finally detached from the monitor. And it does feel like sort of in those last two scenes, finally the characters in their different ways are on their own. All three of them. Yeah. And then when you finish the story and look back, you know that she's just been kind of visiting a tomb. Before she goes to her father. Well, yes, it makes a whole mess of cause and effect, which I do think is also, of course, central in a story that is kind of trying to trace different family inheritances and to get the revelation seen after the effect of the revelation. I mean, it's all just quite scrambled. And, you know, I think Monroe's brilliance is that she makes it all seem at one sort of very associative and random in the way that memory works. There are these two paragraphs that start in this way that I would never be bold enough to start a paragraph of. I remembered, I also remembered.

"She has that moment of appalling love and recognition when her father recites a poem. I suppose that's in keeping with part of what she said about him, but it's a little grand, and it's artistic. And it puts him, I think, suddenly, in a different world, than the one in which she's safely tucks him away. And perhaps that's why it's appalling or it's not so much that it's appalling to feel it, I think it's appalling that she's having to see him differently. Yeah. Yeah, no, I think that's exactly right. Yes, she slotted him into this very sort of tidy. I think she says, self sufficient independence forbearing, you know, that doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room to talk about Hercules. And slightly condescending. And you know, making jokes about what she does. Yeah, and it's also that that poem comes out of nowhere. You know, he talks in a very level way during crisis. He's not somebody who just pops out with non sequiturs. The spontaneity of it, which is also related to change is a very sudden moment of change is particularly threatening. Or not threatening, but scary. Dangerous. Yeah. And in his choices, if he doesn't have the surgery, he's going home basically to die at home. No fuss. If he does have the surgery, you know, one possible outcome is living longer. And the other possible outcome is immediate death and the event that's what happens. And especially since he's quoting that poem, which has this image of basically setting forth from one world to another, that you can't even see. It's hard for me to assess maybe you have a stronger idea whether he thinks he's choosing death or choosing life. Yeah, I don't know. I'm inclined to think we're supposed to accept like the narrator that we can't.

"Well, let's think about that first scene in the hospital that the first conversation they have. And they're talking in the kind of shorthand you use with someone you know very well. But also keeping it very surface level. And then her eyes are just completely drawn to this heart monitor. Where the behavior of his heart was on display. She says I tried to ignore it. It seemed to me that paying such close attention in fact dramatizing what ought to be a most secret activity was asking for trouble. Yeah. Anything exposed that way was apt to flare up and go crazy. And it's an incredible paragraph. Thrown in the middle of this sort of semi terse conversation. Yeah, and in their typical way, they're going to make it a joke later. But not yet. Not yet. What is being exposed at that moment? Yeah, you know, I think what's frightening about it is we're not sure what's being exposed, you know? It's something very unknown and something that these people have taken great pains that strive to use the father's word to hide. Yeah, I think of this narrator of Janet as being quite uncomfortable with intimacy or can't quite figure out her relationship to intimacy. And somehow this particular paragraph seems very related to me to that scene on the bridge with Nikola, which of course is really a heartbreaking core of the story. You know, she says something like Nikola would never be able to detect the difference in her treatment of her. And it's words like detect and detach that come up at different moments. You suddenly realize like, yes, everybody is monitoring people in this way that the heart monitor is, but not ever quite seeing clearly. And I do think with the father, we're seeing a similar version of that of care, but with a remove.

"And fuuto studios, listen in English and Spanish wherever you get podcasts. So Claire, this story is about a woman who is by definition middle aged. She's in the middle position between her aging father and her almost adult daughters and the father is perhaps choosing to die. One of the daughters is choosing to be out of communication with her. We can see in a way Janet as this kind of planet around which these moons are orbiting, but always maintaining a distinct distance. Do you think that do you think that's a good interpretation of this title of why we have the moons of Jupiter in the story? Yeah, I mean, I do think that the solar system is sort of a metaphor that is almost too good to totally trust in the story of the solar system and the family system and these various characters trying to figure out their configuration in relation to one another. And I think also trying to figure out to what extent they can or can not control that configuration, is it possible to change your orbit, are you locked into it? It is also a story that's a lot about choice. And we don't think of planets as being free agents exactly. I do think part of what the narrator in her ambivalence because I do think this is a very exquisite portrait of ambivalence. The story is sort of realizing that the choices of these other people have at once everything to do with her and nothing. Yeah. And interestingly, she doesn't have any choices in this story. She's not the person doing the choosing. Yeah, and it's very striking because you get the sense through these little hints that we get of her past life that she has definitely made dramatic choices in her life. She has left her husband, she's also chosen to be an artist. Yeah. Which given the family background that we see was not an easy choice. Yes. And interestingly, in the version of the story that Monroe published, she's a writer, which I don't know quite what to make of. But she's an artist here.

"Directed the bowl of the ceiling, which soon turned dark blue with a faint rim of light all around the edge. There was some splendid commanding music. The adults all around were shushing the children, trying to make them stop crackling their potato chip bags. Then a man's voice, an eloquent professional voice, began to speak slowly out of the walls. The voice reminded me a little of the way radio announcers used to introduce a piece of classical music. Or describe the progress of the royal family to Westminster Abbey on one of their royal occasions. There was a faint echo chamber effect. The dark ceiling was filling with stars. They came out not all at once, but one after another. The way the stars really do come out at night, though more quickly. The Milky Way appeared, was moving closer, stars swam into brilliance and kept on going, disappearing beyond the edges of the sky screen or behind my head. While the flow of light continued, the voice presented the stunning facts. A few light years away had announced the sun appears as a bright star and the planets are not visible. A few dozen light years away, the sun is not visible either to the naked eye. And that distance, a few dozen light years, is only about a thousandth part of the distance from the sun to the center of our galaxy. One galaxy, which itself contains about 200 billion suns. And is in turn, one of millions, perhaps billions of galaxies. Innumerable repetitions and numerable variations. All this rolled past my head too, like balls of lightning. Now realism was abandoned for familiar artifice. A model of the solar system was spinning away and its elegant style. A bright bug took off from the earth, heading for Jupiter. I set my dodging and shrinking mind sternly to recording facts. The mass of Jupiter two and a half times that of all the other planets put together. The great red spot, the 13 moons. Past Jupiter, a glance at the eccentric orbit of Pluto, the icy rings of Saturn. Back to earth and moving in to hot and dazzling Venus. Atmospheric pressure 90 times ours, moonless mercury, rotating three times, while circling

"There's a great temptation to believe in, you know, the soul I said, speaking lightly, feeling an appalling rush of love and recognition. Oh, I guess you could call it that. You know, when I first came into this room, there was a pile of papers here by the bed. Somebody had left them here, one of those tabloid sorts of things I never looked at. I started reading them. I'll read anything handy. I was a series running in them on personal experiences of people who had died, medically speaking, hard arrest, mostly. And had been brought back to life. It was what they remembered of the time they were dead. Their experiences. Pleasant or on, I said. Oh, pleasant. Oh, yes. They'd flowed up to the ceiling and looked down on themselves and the doctors working on them on their bodies. Then float on further and recognize some people they knew who had died before them. Not see them exactly, but sort of sensed them. Sometimes there would be a humming and sometimes a sort of, what's that light that there is or color around a person? Aura? Yes, but without the person. That's about all they'd get time for. Then they found themselves back in the body and feeling all the mortal pain and so on, brought back to life. Did it seem convincing? Oh, I don't know. It's all and whether you want to believe that kind of thing or not. And if you are going to believe it, take it seriously, I figure you've got to take everything else seriously that they print in those papers. What else do they? Rubbish, cancer, cures, baldness, cures, belly aching about the younger generation and the welfare bums, tripe about movie stars. Oh yes, I know. In my situation, you have to keep a watch, he said, or you'll start playing tricks on yourself. Then he said, there's a few practical details we ought to get straight on.

"Hey everybody, rob mauer here, happy Friday. Today we're going to be talking about sandy munro starting the teardown of the plaid Model S motors. We've also got an upgraded rating from daegu on Tesla stock, possibly some news on vehicle identification numbers from Texas. Of course, our daily SEC battle update, news on FSD beta in Canada, Tesla energy, and a couple other items as well. Another pretty strong day for the markets today, though the NASDAQ did trail behind the S&P and the Dow, those were both up to and two and a half percent respectively, the NASDAQ only up 1.6%. So not all that surprising to see Tesla a little bit lower performance in that environment, up 1.1%.

I wouldn't call it the same physical amount of experiences. But that's because we kind of him between Developing the solution but also on on the consulting side of the business you know one's gonna fades the other and the ultimate goal for us as an organization and looking at the research as well is the we want to talk while we want to be in a position where we can deliver high-fidelity consultative experience at a conversational and conversational across alexa across.

This report is a whole bunch of stuff. That's in here. That kind of gives credence to again what it is. What consumers doing what they want what they agree to cetera. So the whole idea with this report was just to make sure that when having those commercial discussions where actually leveraging from research that current that exists the invalidates the ideas and the line of thinking. It's not just a pine sky concept that we want to kind of build on.

Somebody asked any update on public. Fasd beta yuan says quote. We should be there with beta tenant which goes out a week from friday. No point release this week it will have a completely retrain neural net. So we'll need another few weeks after that for fine tuning for tuning and bug fixes. Best guess is public beta button in about four weeks so no nine point three this friday as usual Not as usual. But usually tesla releases a point. Lisa nine point three would have been this friday every two weeks It sounds like they're skipping that but then next week are going to go straight to beta test. So that's different than what you wanted. Previously said worried said we'd get nine point three nine point four then probably ten than maybe ten one or ten to would be Debated button or the public release. I would've put that somewhere in mid october the last time we calculated that timeline looks like this would be a little bit sooner than what we had previously expected so obviously with anytime line like this we have to take it with a bit of a grain of salt But ilan here is actually moving up the timeline from his last mention of any sort of time line. So we'll see I'm excited regardless forbade attend to hopefully go out next week You on his previously satellite updates with that obviously with being a whole number release so we'll see Okay so after a ida. We've got new comments here from arkan vest. I will just briefly. Go through this. They put a little quick note out about it. I'm just saying. I highlighted artificial intelligence prowess no that arc is. Probably you know pretty impressed and happy. With what tesla talked about at a day but they did put this little chart out just showing tussles..

The Real Story Behind The Don McGahn DOJ Subpoena
"Great website. Theresa Munro Hamilton reports that the Department of Justice under the Trump administration secretly subpoenaed information. And former White House counsel Don McGahn, a Democrat. Rep. Adam Schiff, it was leaked to The New York Times, of course, seem to be falling apart. There's no real spying allegedly took place. The story was written by Michael Schmidt. He's a hack Charlie Savage, a hack. Reported quote that the DOJ secretly subpoenaed Apple for personal information on again and his wife in February, 18. And then barred Apple from telling them about the reported move during that time period under a non disclosure agreement. The devil appears to be in the details here, and this may not be the breaking story. The media are apparently running with Schmidt tweeted quote New DOJ secretly subpoenaed Apple for personal info of Trump's then White House done council dime again and his wife in February, 18. The O. J. Bard Apple from telling them at the time, But three years later, May 21 Apple told them. It's unclear what investigation it was related to Clarifying an interesting tweet was then issued by Savage. The co author. Quote, Apple recently told Don McGahn, Trump's former White House counsel. That the Justice Department had secret collected data about his account of a February 2018 subpoena. Caution. You can't conclude from this fact them again was intentionally targeted. It began was not intentionally targeted. Then the whole story is evidently not what was purported to be, You understand, folks. That is for investigating a leak, and there's a whole bunch of people that they're looking into. They're not supposed to investigate a leak. Apparently, that's the case, particularly if it That benefits the Democrats and hurts the country. The accusations do not go into detail about the DOJ investigation. It's unknown what federal investigators were looking into. Even if McGann himself was their primary focus, or whether it was somebody had contact with Apple reportedly did not inform again what they had turned over to DOJ. Report did state that Apple received them again subpoena weeks after another subpoena was issue that was connected to leaks and the Russia probe. The subpoena involves records belonging to California Democratic representatives, Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell. Again. The subpoenas were ostensibly an attempt to identify individuals who leak classified national security information. During Trump administration and were not specifically targeting shift. So they're throwing a

Troll Watch: How Tech Is Cracking Down On Election Disinformation
"Years ago, Fake news loomed large over the U. S. Presidential election troll farms linked to Russia turned out fictitious stories online and completely made up articles written Well, maybe bite. Macedonian teenagers went viral. It's impossible to know exactly what effect has had on the results, but it certainly was big news. So what is the picture looked like this time around. BBC Trending Sze Sam Jr has been investigating, starting with a chat with a struggling writer from New York State. My name is Colin Munro. Would I work as a freelance writer? I read news all day constantly. Collinwood was delighted to be writing about politics for a new website called Peace Data ahead of this year's U. S election, even though he wasn't getting paid, and the editors of the site were enthusiastic about what he was sending in. They loved it. They were very accepting of my writing who you're dealing with is it was the same person. He has an odd name, but he said he was a no assistant editor to the organization. He had his own linked and things of that nature. It looked legit. But one day recently, he found out the whole thing was a sham. Colin had been writing for a far left new site created and run by Russians. To put all of this in context. Let's roll back the clock For years. Fake news can have really world consequences. Facebook was paid at least $100,000 by Russian troll farms for advertising. The 2016 election was beset by fake news. Completely made up stories apparently produced by Russian organizations and amplified on social media. But this time US citizens have become unwitting foot soldiers in the battle. Recruited by small scale websites run the authorities and Facebook say from Russia. The legitimate looking editors behind the site weren't even really people. So, says disinformation expert Camille Francois Grafica. So if you look very closely add those faces. You realize they're not exactly symmetrical. So sometimes one of the editor would have one earring and then the other earring just didn't match. Those air old Council signs that the picture could have been generated with the technology that a century creates a new face from scratch. The peace data editors were completely made up. They're photos were computer generated constructions. Back in 2016 so called fake news ran rampant with fictional headlines like Pope Endorses Donald Trump. This time around the big social media companies thwarted this operation before it could really pick up steam. But there's a new problem coordinated disinformation campaigns that are entirely homegrown. Isaac Stanley Becker is a reporter for The Washington Post, and over the summer he got a tip off from a concerned relative. Someone got in touch and said that they're teenage nephew in Arizona had been posting really curious messages on social media messages that led them to believe that their family member might have been hacked by the Russians. In fact, the teenager along with many others, was posting on behalf of a right wing American lobby group Turning Point USA for a fee. The messages cast doubt on the severity of the Corona virus pandemic on even spread myths about voter fraud. Money was changing hands. It was nowhere disclosed that this was part of a highly organized but secret is operation. Run by a very well heeled pro charm organization, the marketing firm running the operation was banned from Facebook but turning point themselves avoided punishment. Some point to the discovery of these campaigns as a good news story. Social media firms caught sleeping in 2016 have stepped up their game. But others, including Isaac Stanley, Becca think the spread of falsehoods has become absolutely endemic in American politics. The way we campaign and the way we discussed politics, it's just infuse with disinformation. It's become normal. As one expert put it to me in 2016. We saw Macedonian teenagers being paid to coordinate and conduct. This sort of activity and now patrol farm is in Phoenix. It's right here at home. There's

Turning Ideas into ML Powered Products with Emmanuel Ameisen
"All right everyone. I'm on the line with Emmanuel Amazing. Emmanuel is a machine learning engineer at Stripe Emmanuel. Welcome finally I should say to the Podcasts how are you my friend? Having I'm great how are you? I'm doing well? I'm doing well so manual and I have known each other for at least a couple of years. Now maybe more We met when you were at insight Responsible for the insight Data Science A. I pro- program official responsibility because I've also I've interviewed Ross On the show as well with insight. Yeah what was your official role there. So I had a real very similar to to Ross's Ross was equivalent in New York. This is leading the program there so we have Surf professional education programmes fellowships in many different domain stay science St Engineering And we have one in Ai. And so was leading that one And so usually we start these interviews by having folks share a little bit about their journey. Why don't you tell us How you got to stripe and perhaps more importantly how you got to being a published author congratulations and happy to so I started off. I think like many people in this field my passion for started with Geoff Hinton's coarser our classes way back in the day I feel like for most people. It's either Jefferson Andrew. Inga started T- manager here nothing against Jeff and then after I I started my career my push clear data signs at a start up in the bay area which got acquired by Zipcar later. I spent two years there and actually after that I joined insight so after having been a data scientist I joined a role that was much more about like professional education mentorship And so for a couple of years at inside I mentored In aggregate it was over a hundred fellows that were appeased isn't engineers dot went to transition And get a job in the field of machine learning so that was amazing Through my work there I learned a lot about what it takes. The transition where it takes to build successful projects A lot of that is in the in the book. You mentioned. After a couple of years there I went to go back towards something more More of a nice zero for me. More of an individual contributor and silent at Stripe Because it sort of had the perfect. Blend of what? I was looking for an enroll. Which has it blends very heavy at challenging machine learning with Sir very heavy engineering requirements Which I think is where the field is going in general and so. I wanted to do more of that. We haven't mentioned the title of the book yet but it is building machine learning powered applications going from idea to product. When did the book become available? The book became available last week. Nice Nice and so I have one of the first copies of it right here in my hand and it was signed by you. Thank you very much so the book he has got this this Subtitle going from idea to product. Is it a conceptual book technical book? Yeah that's a good question. The title comes from yet. The desired scope of the book so the desired scope is really to to give tools to share and data scientists To go from sort of either at PM has an idea or you have an idea to you. Have something in production that is actually Being used by real people and it's it's a bit of a blend of conceptual technical. It is technical in the sense that there are many code examples. There is a set of notebooks. That company The book and there's actually an entire prototype application that we build together through the book and at the end of the book he can just it has Haribo. You can go and tried out But it's also conceptual sense that a lot of these topics are more about how you frame problems than just like copying code off of stack overflow and so there's sort of interviews with data science leaders that have sort of thing. There's an entire section about data ethics. And how you think about shipping models and when you should and shouldn't and sits a bit of a hybrid book in that sense Nice Nice. I flipped through it and Awesome of my favorite folks in here. Monica Righetti and Rob Munro and. Yes we know some of the same people. Yeah yeah small world one of the things that I noticed and I haven't gone through him in a lot of detail mentioned to you that I literally just got this out of the mail. Room here But the structure of the book is that you develop a sample application as you mentioned and the sample APP is predictive text. How did you pick that up for context? Yeah that was first of all. That's a really good question because that was one of the parts that I went over the most times and just changed my aunt my mind very many times about which applications should be the running example and if. I had a conversation with Monica regatta where I pitched her on one of my initial ideas and she told me it was a terrible idea. I should definitely not wasn't I wanted to do something that was like it would listen to pull lake politicians speeches and then compare with how they vote and tell you whether like what they were saying in their speeches of aligned with how they were. Actually Voting Rights Act Checker. Kind of thing. Yeah like some sort of automatic facts. I would have been timely. You're right it would have been timely. That's what I was thinking but it would also been pretty hard the recociliation of what's what's true and what's not true very quickly gets into the realm of opinion and if you add the membership learning model to the nuanced world view. It's definitely one of those examples of abstract. Could do more harm than good. And so Mike talked me off the ledge on that one. But we're so many of our other ideas well. I consider doing initially computerization examples because those are always more striking to be newer folks to feel like it's a an image is a very powerful example but orients exactly but I felt like they were sort of overused and most analysts are serves some sort of like computer vision thing nowadays so something different and I went to do tabular data because that's what I think what most people do in their day to day effort for most companies But I felt like there. There was less room for a standalone product. They're like bring your own tabular. Data has less less than a bring your own writing. Sign up settling on an L. P. A. And then I I. I wanted to do something. That was Most AMMO products aren't just one model like they're not just like you have a model that solves your use case perfectly And then you just chip. It usually a combination of surf. She risks and rules and models and engineering work and so I wanted to probably that reflects that and when I was thinking of products that did that today. Serve Writing And assisting people to write better is a crude example of that where you have. You can check grammar. That's just rules or you can check for vocabulary of her things and then you can also help them improve their style. And that's more something that you can learn with them out so it was a nice blend that Sir reflects what happens in the real world. So does that mean that somewhere in this book there are lots of rexes now. We've we've chosen not to go down that path but there could be The book starts with very simple instead of regular expressions. It's simple word counts. How many advocates are you using are using and a little too much that sort of stuff? And so what's the overall kind of path a structure through the buck and kind of more importantly? What does it say about the way that you you think folks need to approach these kinds of projects? The book is broadly separated into four stages. I think generally make sense for for most products and I think a lot of people focused on training models. And then you talk to experienced data scientists and you hear a ninety. Five percent of the job is looking at the data and shipping the model number early training model And so so this book purposely sort of almost ignores training models just assumes that you can figure that part out with knee really good courses around And so the four approaches are sort of or parts are going from whatever your goal is your product. You know your company's doing what you want to do To it an M. L. Approach into a plan for that approach because I think at insight and Kirk seems as many projects fail just because it's the wrong approach and if you had just chosen a slightly different approach she'd been much better spot. The second step is building your your. Mvp At something that was definitely D'Amato insight and insight applied very well serve encouraging people to start extremely simple and builds a full project before they go diving down the rabbit hole research. The third part is I think one of the ones where I sat down with the most fellows over my time and insight which is like. How'd you debugged models More often if your model is either not working or if it's working but the performance isn't sufficient. How do you know what you should do? Next how can you take a deep dive into what your models doing what your data looks like to actually decide what you do at your next iteration cycle and in the fourth step is sort of like deployment monitoring and the concerns that come with Showing the real world model a model to the real world

U.S., Mexico And Canada Sign Updated Trade Deal
"Applause filled the presidential palace Mexico City yesterday representatives of the US Mexico and Canada signed an updated version of the North American.

A billion dollars. A day with eighty percent of Mexico's exports sent to the US and millions of jobs dependent on that Commerce Robert Lighthizer United States trade representative says it's fought hard for a new deal.

Nafta was originally signed twenty five years ago. And it's something that's going to North America. Richer is going to make America. Richards GonNa make Canada richer and it's going to make Mexico richer. The pact also requires auto manufacturers to use more parts from North America and that a large percentage of vehicle production be done in a plant where the minimum wage is sixteen dollars an hour. The hope there is stimulus and Canadian jobs for moving to lower paid Mexican execute factories. A sticking point in the negotiations in recent months though was a move by Democrats to get tougher Labor and Environmental Enforcement Provisions Mexico. Mexico didn't want to let. US inspectors into their plants. But in the end they signed onto allowing so-called inspection panels with representatives from all three countries.
