Conceptually they are very similar; as you mention, Kalman is generally online, and trying to estimate the current state, whereas Viterbi can factor 'future' information into its estimate as well.

Another big difference is that Viterbi works on a discrete state space (DNA base pairs, bits in a convolutional code, etc), while the Kalman filter works in a continuous space (e.g. position).

I have said it before and I will say it again.

I really feel for the 400 employees who lost their job, but I am happy to see a sense of reality being forced into some of these companies. Building a business on people rather than tech is a much much tougher thing to do both execution wise and financially.
And so the real innovation if someone wants to "change the world" without trying to cheat the system is to find a way to make a profitable business with a huge part of the business being used to pay salaries. This as we can see is a very hard thing to do. And so I applaud them for trying.

For many entrepreneurs who are used to thinking about business as something which is based on software, servers and an internet connection, this is completely uncharted territory. You don't reap the benefits of scaling your business as if it's just a matter of adding more servers.
The primary challenges with these kind of business if they are to be built on a solid foundation is.

1) Patience – It takes a long time to scale an employee based business up to anything worthwhile and sustainable

2) Selective – You have to be smart about which sectors actually have enough money and need for your service to make a proper ROI

3) Employee satisfaction. You can't just treat your people as if they are freelancers without giving them freelance opportunities. Instead you have to really care about your people and make them want to work for your company and do a great job.

> I'm also noticing a conspicuous lack of any response to the actual behaviors I was referring to; you're dismissing that as behavior that someone ought to have to tolerate or go start their own project.

Absolutely. Why should I judge anyone? I'm not forced to use their project. Last I checked lingerie and porn weren't illegal. If someone wants to represent themselves like that, then more power to them.

Not every project is a corporate project and not all are going to come from that politically correct environment.

I would no sooner tell someone that they couldn't fill a project with sexually explicit terms than I would tell a songwriter to not use sexually explicit lyrics.
I call this "Too smart to fail".

When I was a below average student, I used to have a lot less stress. The expectation was so much lower.

Once I started getting As across the board I started panicking.

The problem is we have essentially "privatized" learning.

What that means is once we started attaching money to learning via the university industrial complex and cheap credit. Your knowledge became a store of wealth like your house ( which itself is a terrible idea ).

Now their is a pervasive attitude - if you study engineering for example you pay 4X for tuition compared to humanities.

If you get As you get to go to Stanford and be 10X in debt as someone who went to a Community College.

It reminds me of the argument by Louise CK, where loans are much easier to get when you have liquidity already.

This has lead to a situation of "Too smart to fail" among students who get good grades, when in reality we should be allocating more education resources to weaker students in society and handing them the most credit, and not celebrate grades so heavily, but celebrate when that education leads to value in society.

And if a program is really too slow then the true optimization is to scale with threads or distributed computing.

Me too. I found advanced C# expression shenanigans very confusing. Then I learned Haskell. Now I see the C# but think the Haskell and it is a lot easier to deal with even the most hardcore expression jujitsu that I see in the codebase.

You do understand that mozilla still could reject certain add-ons, even when only to be signed to be hosted elsewhere, and in fact they do:

>Files submitted for signing will go through an automated review process. If they pass this review, they are automatically signed and sent back to the developer. This process should normally take seconds. If the file doesn't pass review, the developer will have the option to request a manual review, which should take less than two days.

Right now, the automatic signing will probably only fail if malware is detected. The "Right now" part is what worries me a bit, tho.

A word of caution: you're probably right. React, Angular, Backbone cover most use cases and are proven in production, well known, and well understood. Unless you're a big company with hard problems, why should anyone pay attention? Not to rain on your parade, I've had the inclination to build my own libraries in the past as well but I always remember why it's not a good plan.

Any new framework these days has to bring a ton of innovation and performance to the table - is your framework faster and easier to use than React? Does it fulfill use cases that React cannot? How many more use cases can React fit than yours? Hint: There's React Canvas, React Native, React WinJS, and you can run it on your server. There's also approximately a billion modules for these libraries combined.

There are plenty of examples of projects that are DOA. If you want yours to be successful you'll REALLY have to sell it. Not that I'm rooting against you! :) If your library is more innovative and more powerful, more power to you! There's nothing wrong with progress. I'm just skeptical because the aforementioned libraries work for nearly 100% of companies.
Nice insights on the actual usage of React, hopefully I have the time and opportunity to work on it :)

Except that in order to be more successful in the field, you do need to attend certain conferences, work with certain projects, and participate in certain communities, or you'll have a severe disadvantage compared to people who can. Which is one of many, many reasons why the tech industry as a whole has a severe diversity problem. (And even in my case, I don't particularly enjoy dealing with awful people either.) So I'm happy that behaviors like that are becoming a lot less accepted, so that FOSS as a whole is more welcoming than it used to be, and it's a lot easier to write off the much smaller subset of projects with awful communities around them. Still a long way to go, though.

Nothing stops people from acting that way. It's not illegal, nor should it be. But I'm looking forward to a world where when someone tries everyone else just looks at them funny and dismisses them immediately, so that people stop trying.

Which brings us full circle back to the original point: given a choice (and it is a choice) between which set of people to exclude from a community, I know which set I'd prefer. You seem to have a different preference, and you're welcome to it. I look forward to that point of view losing all credibility and respect in the industry as a whole, and an increasing number of people are working towards that goal. Have a nice day.

I find it interesting that the OP has had essentially zero feedback on anything other than confirmation dialog boxes - especially since I don't think that was part of the OPs speculation.

Having some form of 'interactive spec' where stakeholders can 'play with' the system to verify intended behaviour is a really interesting idea. Of course it is used in software development all the time to varying levels of fidelity (wireframes, mockups, interactive prototypes and so on). But I think here is the rub... the better the quality the simulation the greater the amount of effort until it becomes approximately equal to the cost of just doing it.

Maybe with enough automation and tooling...

The share price likely wouldn't reflect insider knowledge. To see this, take an extreme example. The CEO owns less than 1% of most publicly traded companies. Even if he was allowed to sell his whole position without public disclosure, it wouldn't affect the stock price that much. Say he wakes up and finds out through insider knowledge that his company will go bankrupt tomorrow. He sells all his shares today. The stock drops a bit. It doesn't go to 0 just because he knows it should.

A stock price reflects a weighted average of individual investor's knowledge and their capital.

(Efficient market gets around this by assuming people are cool with not just selling the stock but shorting it all the way until it is as low as they think it should be. People don't tend to bet the farm (or have the ability to borrow funds to bet the farm) like that.)
For better or worse, that's definitely not the "Apple Way".

Ask HN: How to build a web app for a non-tech savvy client who wants to modify?
My client needs a site that can integrate eCommerce (Shopify), membership accounts/privileges, and a YouTube-embed carousel/slider. The client desires the ability to add/delete/modify sections after my development work on the project is completed (without any programming). Client needs, example: “I want to be able to add one, two, or three columns containing pictures, videos, text, on pages/regions in the future.”

I already tried using WordPress Business Plan and it didn’t work out as there is not enough flexibility with plug-ins to achieve main goals. Self-hosted WordPress seems to be the next alternative; yet, this would almost definitely require programming for client to make changes in the future.

Are there any free/open source recommendations? Or, paid recommendations? …this could be an existing platform or app, or a concept for development altogether (holistic; combination of technologies). Thanks HN

SecureBoot implementations often let a user, via some means, add additional keys that they trust.

Any user can simply create their own key, sign their own firmware, linux, and what have you with it, and then boot away.

Unfortunately, Microsoft mandates secure boot but doesn't require the feature of adding keys to be present... so the reality is a bit more grim.

The reality is that most distros have managed to get a signing key from microsoft (and those that haven't, there's a grub shim signed by such a key) that is included by default in microsoft certified secureboots. This has been working, but is not as ideal.

This is actually incorrect. The Relay/GraphQL folks explicitly call out the concept of directly exposing your persistence structure via GraphQL as detrimental. Instead, you simply describe what your business models are with GraphQL (regardless of how they're stored), just as you would with a REST api. GraphQL acts as an abstraction layer on top of your persistence. The key difference with GraphQL vs a REST API is that you don't have to commit specific endpoints that return specific models, the clients can simply pick and choose (within the confines of what your GraphQL schema allows).
Particle filters can be an option if the noise is not additive (e.g. scales with signal amplitude) and Gaussian.

Your footnotes notwithstanding, your comment makes no sense even on its own terms. Regardless of their feelings or lack thereof, what sociopaths and psychopaths have in common is they don't survive by reason and creating value but by using and manipulating others. Their method of survival is acknowledged as pathological.

Anyone who had an even rudimentary understanding of Rand's ideas would know that she repudiated any such behavior but the smears and lies continue. But more to the point, a sociopath would not go through the trouble of developing a whole new ethical theory when the dominant ethic (altruism) is perfectly suited to the aims of a sociopath, i.e. the ethics of people using people.

This is why people generally laugh at tech journalists (specifically in SV). Things always appear rosy on the outside of pretty much every startup that exists. Then the capital crunch inevitably happens. All of the media outlets focus on the wrong things (fund raises, valuations, celebs, etc) and not the real things the rest of the business world values (profits, returns, sustainability, value-creation, etc).

No joke: I strongly believe that "real programmers" do indeed write in assembler. Not x86 assembler, mind you. Rather, "real programmers" first compose an abstract machine semantics for the solution domain, create an instantiation of those semantics in the form of a virtual machine on some host architecture, and then express the solution in an assembler language targeting the abstract machine semantics. (See, for example, the Prolog abstract machine semantics to represent the solution domain of expert systems.)

They might, if their problem is really hairy and requires large amounts of exploratory programming, create a high-level programming language (usually a macro-language) that allows easy access to the same abstract machine semantics, and then code in that. For well-defined "closed" problems (e.g. in-kernel packet filtering), this added baggage is usually unnecessary, but for more "engineering-oriented" problems, you might end up with something more like an Erlang than a Prolog.

Note that C itself follows this rule; the "C abstract machine" is a pretty good fit (though perhaps not perfect) to the solution domain of low-level systems programming.
