Thanks. The implication seems to be that if you restrict the # of parameters so it's equal to intrinsic dimension, learning isn't possible, but it is possible with this random projections method. Wonder why. It seems like with both methods, the number of possibilities being explored is the same, but the higher-parameter model space is richer with solutions for some reason.
When new fields are being researched there’s a ton of low hanging fundamental work that can be done. Over the years all of the low hanging fundamental work is done and research gets more specialized and the amount required to learn increases dramatically.

I don’t think there’s any reason to think people like Gauss and von Neumann are much smarter than a modern day equivalent, say Terrence Tao. But Tao’s work, despite being across many fields, is very specialized and not as well publicized.
What are you on about? Pay, benefits, and safety are core workplace concerns. There's no roping-in going on: Amazon fired them once they began bringing up labor issues.
And what sort of health and financial information does Facebook have?
AFAIK, albeit it was initially based on the ideas implemented in Om.Next, modern versions of Fulcro are very different today.

I think Om.Next was just a collection of a few, rather conceptual, abstract objectives, quite experimental (perhaps even ahead of their time) and untested in production.

Too bad that Cognitect couldn't give David Nolen a carte-blanche and let him work on it 100% of his work time.

I'd rather live in a world where libraries like Om.Next become popular, and not stuff like Angular.

ps.: I used Angular. And I loved it. Angular made sense. Sometime around 2009-2010. But it stopped making sense. And I stopped liking it. You still can build awesome things with it, and people still do. And I still don't like it.
Is this not essentially what cloudflare does with the IPs it is tracking? If your ip is showing abuse or problems you get knocked to the "boat or bike" system to at least slow you down a notch?

It's interesting that you are the founder of RescueTime, a productivity tool, which certainly competes with email productivity tools that Tawheed has.

Furthermore, this might be the first time I've read a post by a YC founder with that kind of attitude. I usually find YC people to be incredibly humble.

Oh, I'm not claiming they don't ever fail...they do. It happens. I can read your errors for myself. However, redundancy doesn't mean that you avoid fs corruption altogether.

If my drobo fails, so be it, drobo sucks etc., but my data is my responsibility. I have backups in place to deal with the data loss. I'm not asking my drobo to be perfect, I'm just asking it to keep on working in case a drive starts to fail, but there's clearly many possibilities where drobo itself fails. If there's fs corruption going on, it's my responsibility even if it's the fault of the hardware. If there's something I deleted off my drobo by accident, it's my responsibility.

Now, if you were going on about the bad design and hacky nature of droboshare and the software drobo runs on, and data robotics' bad customer support, then sure...you have a point. We could all learn from your experience not to use droboshare. That's about it.
Have you considered speaking with 'consultants' rather than formal advisers? I often advise my friends on web usability, UI, and their online strategy. I don't charge a fee and love giving out advice and answering their questions.

Any time they e-mail, I'm there to answer, but I don't consider it a traditional 'mentor' relationship.
Well, for a moment I comfortably believed what I read as a true history of how it actually happened. After reading the article I'm again sure that there is no way how can I really know what happened in cases where military or intelligence is involved. And that is very important I think
Very true. Which is why, as a software consultant owner of a S Corp, my salary was always defined to be at least that minimum, to avoid any question.

I'm holding off because it's just not the same thing. I read a few fiction books a month, I enjoy going to a bookstore, picking out books, carrying them home, reading them, and putting them on a shelf. I enjoy having friends over, and discussing books while standing in front of the shelves. I can lend out my books or give them away. Good books get worn and loved and scratched and used and thumbed. I can place good books in better spots than bad books. And they're all gonna last a lot longer than any electronic books and always be accessible. A book has no bootup-time, no interface, no buttons, no electricity, no charger, no bit-rot, no broken files, no virtual cloud-based shelves tied to an arbitrary account, no uptime, no downtime, no batteries, no keyboards, no nothing.

For fiction, having my entire library with me all the time is useless, because that's just not how I read. I travel a lot, but only carry one or two books with me. That's enough.

It's been a long while since I was in school or university and read textbooks, but the value of having actual paper books that you can write your own notes and drawings in is very high.

For reference books, when I need them, I'm usually at a computer anyway, and why look in a single reference book when I can use the entire internet instead?

DRM? That's at the bottom of the list of drawbacks with e-books for me.
May I also suggest, that you are taking things a little too personally? You are internalizing something which IMHO, you shouldn't. A thick skin helps.

To answer your other question:

>Would this article be banal to a 10 year old? A 20 year old? How many super surprising things might seem banal to an 80 year old?

This would be quite banal to a well read 'smart' 20 year old. ( 10 year old - extremely unlikely)
I would pay for that second tier provided they don't mine API usage for data for their search product. I would love to opt out of Google data mining, and I'm happy to pay for the services I use. The closest they have is their G-suite, but I think they still mine data from paying customers.

haproxy 1.9 added support for logging to stdout/stderr/files, this is a different feature.

This feature looks like it is intended for cases where you're logging to a remote syslog server without any local log files and want to attach to the process and see the live recent logs which it stores in a ring buffer.
Copernicus' book had been published in 1543. Galileo was convicted of heresy in 1633. That would be like someone in 2043 being convicted of heresy for saying that DNA has a double helical structure.

The worst part is that ios always has the most pressed button, back, in the top left corner - the most unreachable position. What apple has to do is just put a physical back button on the side of the phone for your thumb and 50% of all reachability issues are solved.

Not if you have specific knowledge of infringing material being uploaded because you SCAN IT WHILE its being uploaded with Content-id and it so happens you already have content-id signatures of this artists work.
Agreed with OP. What makes the Mac Book Air so impressive, is that it's both. An aggressive sleep feature means that, unlike my MacBook Pro, which had an identical work pattern - I have _yet_ to have my MBA run out of batter. The MBP would routinely run out every three-four days.

At the same time, when it _does_ run out of battery - it powers up in 15 seconds. Not _quite_ instant on, but it makes a measurable difference in how you feel about powering it up to use. Ironically - you never do because it's always on. :-)

I'd recommend a niche software product, preferably one with recurring revenue, but you could do it with a day or two of consulting if you have skills and contacts.
So the people who left Israel in 1948 and who now live with their descendants in refugee camps in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank are free to return to Israel?

What percentage of the population of the West Bank were Jewish in 1967? The proper term for what's going on is colonisation or perhaps plantation.

If you're correct about the the majority of the West Bank population being there for less than 3 generations, then I can give you 2 reasons for this.
1: The former residents of that part of Palestine that became Israel who upon the formation of the state moved to the West Bank.
2: The increase in the Jewish population.
I think publicly releasing this application is pretty solid proof they intend to open it up soon.
Because our lawyers say so, I believe it's boilerplate for these contests. I'd be super happy to open it to everyone in the known universe but I don't know the legal implications. Happy to hear your thoughts.

The camping one is easily the best picture aesthetically.
Makes me think this could be more of a cross target for middle class and wealthier people who drive Landrovers and jacked-up Jeeps. Rather than a country farm's workhorse, which I noticed was a setting oddly not included in the homepage pictures.

Maybe that includes the demographic who would have bought Humvees or more likely the ones who obsess over (or needs) personal safety while driving, ie being the "bigger car in the accident" type of thing people talk about.
That's from Varnish, a proxy server.
Are you saying the wind storm that stranded Whatney in The Martian was inaccurate?

Not really. Many people in the south and more rural areas use large trucks as a daily driver. Many with custom front bumpers that are solid steel.
In the picture of the marscape in the article, you can faintly see an ordinary room overlaid on the marscape (most visible in the up-left part of the graphic). I took that to possibly mean that the holograms were transparent, not opaque.

Or maybe they're just trying to indicate the unreality of the marscape.
From the repo the project creator linked in the README (https://github.com/yrutschle/sslh): "A typical use case is to allow serving several services on port 443 (e.g. to connect to SSH from inside a corporate firewall, which almost never block port 443) while still serving HTTPS on that port."
How is this different from apt-get? For any missing packages, or any outdated packages, you have to hunt for a ppa or you have to compile it yoursel while hunting for the correct configure switches if you want specific features like for vim
Perhaps "vaporware" was meant, but this browser has only been known for two months (I think), and is presumably in heavy development.

Should cost at least like kinnect and oculus combined.
There are two issues. First is Murphey's law. 1 zombie process is probably harmless, but if the amount grows then you'll fill up kernel limits and the container cannot create further processes.

Second, zombie processes that don't go away can also interfere with software that check for the existence of processes. For example, [the Phusion Passenger application server](https://www.phusionpassenger.com/) manages processes. It restarts processes when they crash. Crash detection is implemented by parsing the output of `ps`, and by sending a 0 signal to the process ID. Zombie processes are displayed in `ps` and respond to the 0 signal, so Phusion Passenger thinks the process is still alive even though it has terminated.
Using the packaged versions that comes with the OS is very convenient if you can live with the versions you get. This means that you might have to update your application code when updating the operating system.

This can be fine for open source development, but it has never been acceptable at any closed source shop where I've worked. We wanted the freedom of not updating things in lockstep.
It seems like that's a big theme with the latest Unity changes. Huge improvements over the default desktop, but nobody I know was using the default desktop; they all heavily modified it with devilspie, xmonad, and friends, which are far beyond what Unity offers.

So while it seems like a good development in the abstract, it's hard for me to get excited about it personally.
Hello best idea ever.
"So a generator is simply something that can give you the next element of some sequence of elements."

Is this a common usage of the word "generator"?

At least in JavaScript and Python you'd call that an "iterator", and a "generator" is a special type of function that acts as an iterator, using the "yield" keyword.
> I just use them on my lap and have never had heat problems with any of my macbooks.

Yes, but have you ever specifically had a 2011 MBP like in the article? It's a very specific set of models that have the heat issue.

Mine could easily hit 90C under load (it just bricked itself last week). Which mean it was quite hot to the touch. After I changed the thermal compound, it would hit the low 80s (C) at peak, but even then, it was quite hot.
no, because many more people want to be RNs and enjoy being RNs than CFOs.
You can cancel the 42 jugs of Tide before it gets even shipped as you get a notification when someone presses the button.
You're right about Emacs+Slime being nice for CL, but I don't think Emacs is very good for C++ and Java code. Visual Studio (and similar IDEs) have some killer features: Intellisense/autocompletion that "just works", an extremely good debugger, visual representation of the project structure, plugins for refactoring, integration with Qt and GUI editors...

I'm mainly a C++ programmer, and yet I use Emacs for everything but C++ (IRC client, LaTeX or text editor, Haskell IDE...).
This is quite fun to play around with! Many of the other CA-based music generators I've seen have sounded rather atonal and random compared to this one. Here's one I made using symmetric initial conditions (doing this makes for somewhat interesting visual patterns as well): http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata?q=0q1q2q3q8w8y8p8...
The retail registrar is irrelevant. Many of the generic TLDs are owned and managed by US companies, so the US government at least believes they have jurisdiction. And since a company like Verisign isn't going to piss off the US government, they'll gladly hand over domains when asked.
I noticed that too and wondered if it was by design or a bug in the implementation. I haven looked at the source though so can't answer knowledgeably.
Don't play as adversaries, then. The original article suggests a simplified role-playing game, where the adult effectively just implements the game mechanics and acts as a GM. You don't have to structure it like an RPG, but any game with meaningful choices that remains balanced will have a similar structure: the adult implementing a game for the kid. That's not "throwing the game", that's redefining the idea of the game.

Consider that the job of a GM isn't to beat the players by any means possible, but to make a fun game with the right level of challenge. In an adversarial situation you'd call that "throwing the game". But in a game where the GM simply implements the game mechanics, they just act as an infinitely flexible interpreter of desired actions and generator of sensible results. In other words, you've implemented a single-player game for the kid(s).

That said, I do think "games" like Candyland have a place; they're just really uninteresting as games. They do something interesting and allow interaction. So do toys that light up or make noise when you interact with them. Candyland demonstrates a structured form of interaction, and a concept of game rules (moving your token according to defined rules rather than just marching it across the board as you please). Calling it a "game" is a stretch, but that doesn't make it worthless.
That's not useful though when the regular expression libraries written to be portable across different schemes all suffer because almost none of the actual implementations optimise string handling.

It's like tail recursion elimination. It's a major gotcha unless written into the standard.

Unfortunately guile's performance in so many other areas is so bad that it's not really an alternative for some projects. It does have a lot of nice features not available in many of the major scheme implementations. But if you code to them, your code is no longer portable.
Hey! I love your cool Interactive Comparisons, they are very helpful.

Do you plan make one on Desktop Computers? Thanks.
Why would you type when you can just talk? Does it not do audio?
Sam Altman and the OP posted their own content to Hacker News. The articles are usually posted by a totally different person than the one that wrote it.
I sent you that mail, please check your spambox since google has an alarmingly high rate of false positives these days, even with people that you've already exchanged email with in the past they'll happily bin messages. Highly annoying.

Any that fits in your budget.

I've been running on MBPs since 2008 and never had one give up. (My oldest one still is running as a test device).
The reason Map String Any does not contain any special symbols specific to that certain type is because it is not a built in special type like the Go map[string]interface{}.

It is just a regular type parametrized over two other types.
And kinda that is the point - being expressive enough to describe a map type without explicit support.
I'm more surprised that the disassemblies differ at all with half of these tests.
What happens if important evidence is inside a safe, and the combination was written on a piece of paper that is now lost or destroyed? I imagine eventually the safe would be destroyed in order to access the evidence, but is the owner of the safe liable for withholding the evidence even if they don't know the combination?
Even better if you have Google Play Music All Access (or whatever the premium version is called now). You get YouTube Premium included along with unlimited streaming of millions of songs.

IMHO that makes Reddit worse for politics, not better.
Adhering to axiomatic principles like self-ownership to the degree that you can justify scenarios like 'an addict legally selling their kidney' is a mistake. It's the equivalent of trying to stick to Newton's laws to explain the universe: they work great right up until there's a contradiction.

I'm all for decriminalization of drugs and sex work, but another first principle is that society should protect the vulnerable. Sometimes, regulation will be the best tool for that. Other times, a deregulated market will be the best tool. Unfortunately, the world is complex. While our principles can guide us, each situation needs to be considered individually and the right set of tools needs to be selected after careful consideration.
"free will" is sort of a red herring in this situation. the choice should probably be considered to be made under duress, because the person's children are starving. but you don't really help the person by preventing the sale; the family is still starving. if you really don't want people selling kidneys, you need to give them enough food to eat.

Am I missing something? Django isn't a server, it's a framework. Why was this included in the "benchmark"?
Wow. This must be the very first pro-MBA comment in the history of HN. Feels refreshing!
And how would that have gone down with exactly the same opponents?
No.

Server side web frameworks in general have been stagnating, but for the most part they're still necessary. Rails is great. So is Django, .Net MVC, Express.js, Yii etc. Also learn JavaScript and some front-end frameworks Angular, react, etc.

There is also a lot of interesting work being done outside of the web e.g. mobile, embedded systems, data analysis. Find something you think is interesting and go for it!
That’s generally known and understood, what are you trying to clarify here? Nobody said it was a non WebKit browser.
Well LISP does both things. One language to create a personalized language for your issue.
