Seriously, what is with talking about programmers like they're porn stars? Programming skill isn't something you're born with and stuck with for the rest of your life: it comes and goes depending on the project at hand how much practice you've had. You might be stuck with the same size of penis but your programming ability is fluid and able to change.

If they wish, idiots (like me) can use Lilypond (a free tool for creating musical scores) or similar software to create extremely complex music based if you like on some math. Any work has a level of complexity of course but to suggest that a measure of that is in any way a feature to be admired is not an argument that I can imagine going down very well in musical circles. To be frank, it would be laughable.

Unfortunately, that comparison lacks a lot of pertinent information on the JVM like new GCs, new schedulers, new, better JITs and various lightweight-thread implementations (it does mention Quasar, but doesn't understand that it works just like BEAM. BEAM also instruments your code, and in BEAM you can also accidentally block an entire kernel thread by calling a library not written in Erlang: just as you would if you were running Erlang on the JVM.

Like I said in another comment, BEAM's Erlang specificity does not mean that it's the best VM for Erlang; all data points to HotSpot (today) being a much better Erlang VM. It just means that a reasonable VM for Erlang could be developed with relatively little effort.
It's a little ironic for such news to end up here, because I'm pretty sure Opera (mobile) is the only one of the major browsers still supporting text reflow, which is why I use it for reading HN which doesn't have an official mobile site version.
This is fantastic! I've been meaning to make an RNN to generate EDM.

For begineers, I'd like to summarize some excellent resources to start:

- Coursera course by Andrew Ng (he explains everything magically. The best course I've done online) https://class.coursera.org/ml-003/lecture

- Neural Networks and Deep Learning neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/ (I highly recommend trying to write your own backprop and MNIST dataset classifier. I wrote in JS and gave me a lot of confidence)

- Oxford ML class (2015) https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/nando.defreitas/machinelearni... (perhaps the the most recent MOOC on ML online. Things are progressing so fast in deep learning that it's worthwhile to do multiple ML courses to get different perspectives)

- I also enjoyed http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/ for inspiration and the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKt21ucdBY0 is a FANTASTIC summary. HN earlier pointed our the course videos are out http://cs224d.stanford.edu/syllabus.html

"Salaita lawsuit against University of Illinois will proceed"
Steven Salaita’s lawsuit against the University of Illinois for rescinding a job offer in response to controversy over the content of his tweets will go forward. On Thursday a federal judge denied the university’s motion to dismiss most of the counts in Salaita’s complaint. Specifically, the judge refused to dismiss Salaita’s contract, promissory estoppel and First Amendment claims against the university. What this means is that the judge concluded that if the facts are as Salaita alleged (and that qualification is important) he has stated valid legal claims. It is not a ruling on the merits. In potentially related news, University of Illinois Chancellor Phyllis Wise resigned on Thursday as well.

4K displays are going to become the new norm over the coming years. In which case those that use dual monitors (many of us) are going to want Thunderbolt 3 to drive them.

Also having multiple ports of the same type on laptops is going to be far better than the current status quo which is a nightmare for many on a day to day basis (you need which adapter for the work projector again ?).

Thinner, easier to use, more flexible laptops that can support multiple Retina displays seems pretty compelling to me. And you can sure as hell bet Apple will be all over this.

I'm seeing at least two prices on Amazon for every movie: new and used.

And that's only if I have already searched for a specific format.

So in reality there are at least four prices: DVD and Blu-Ray, both new and used.

And most of the time I'm also seeing Amazon Instant Video. Buy or rent.

That makes at least four prices in the usual case, most of the time six prices.

Domain-Specific Language Engineering (2007) [pdf]
yep exactly what I am pointing to. I meant performance based in that its complexity comes from how it interacts with culture language, other music, ideas, etc: cultural production. True also of classical composition, but as you say, it's already been done, and so the pattern can be reproduced. I was also adding the idea that the mathematical and notational rule-logic of a lot of classical music lends itself to machine based reproduction in ways that modern pop pastiche does not, and that's counter intuitive as some comments noted, because the actual product itself is entirely machine mediated.
Yes, I am Quasar's main author, but note that I'm not advocating Quasar. I'm advocating Erlang, only on the JVM. And yes, Quasar has all those features, too, but an Erlang implementation on the JVM would use the Erlang implementation, not Quasar's Java implementation.

> Can erlang on the JVM do that?

Of course it can! Just like BEAM does it. (In fact, Quasar used to do that, too. We took out that feature because Quasar also gives you access to kernel threads, and processes that take to long can just be moved to kernel threads, which does this kind of preemption better, anyway. But an Erlang implementation on the JVM can behave just as Erlang does on BEAM).
Likewise. My first thought there was how it applied to martial arts. I've been told by a sparring partner to 'look at me' when sparring once, making me more aware of how I 'deconcentrate' my field of vision to take in all limbs and forms of attack, including those from others sparring around us. It's probably seen as a lack of attention by some, but it is quite the opposite. I also suspect a little distraction technique in asking me to think about where I'm looking as it was quite a 'dominating' sparring partner who made the request.

I noticed various sensais have suggested this kind of perception in their teaching also, asking us to look at the chest area and rely on peripheral vision etc. in certain exercises. No doubt other disciplines require this also. I wonder if target range activities would benefit or not from this kind of 'live peripheral data feed'.

I'd love to hear some feedback...
have you heard of the edit button? try summarizing your incoherent thoughts in a neat single comment instead of three so I don't have to reply to them all.

yes I have been to both. yes I still think you are crazy. yes I've never heard of your company called Zymeworks Inc. which explains why it pays less (as you already mentioned it is even lower than what other senior positions in vancouver pays since it's a small company), yes it is significantly lower than US and by 60% if you factor in exchange rate. Your arrogant attitude doesn't help at all. You seem convinced that SV engineers can do more with less money. I don't think even skilled engineers would work for that kind of salary here in Vancouver but you might not be after quality but high turnover. Would anyone reading what you wrote and how you are behaving really convince people here and elsewhere to work for your company where they insist that people need to take less pay so they can have a better lifestyle? You don't need to do a study on every startup in existence because it'd be a waste of time especially since you've already mentioned you are amongst the bottom barrell in terms of pay compared to SV and local, might be a good company who knows but I've hard time believing you don't have any issues with bringing someone from SV to Vancouver that offers 60% less pay and same or more cost of living compared to SV. You really don't know what you are talking about.

No, not at all, just terribly verbose and opportunistic, I guess.
Please stop posting comments like this. HN readers can make up their own minds what part of an article is important.
But we ascribe special significance to the time just before dying. It is seen as much more important to be happy the last hour you are alive, as opposed to any other in your life.

Why is that? The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that it isn't really important for the person dying, but only for the rest of us. When we remember that person we will remember their last time especially strongly, and it is nice if that is a good memory.

Or hmm. Another view that would justify it is that life is about optimizing some function. And that before we die we only have estimates of how well we are doing, so it is only just before death we get the final answer, if we succeeded in optimizing the function or not.
We use immutable objects to improve readability and to make code thread-safe. I'm not sure if first allowing mutable parts and then moving them into a "memory-representing class" helps a lot in this regard.
Yes, and if you look at the images deep dream generates from that data, it's not even close. This isn't about recognizing music.

Opera bought a company that I felt was the most challenging and least rewarding (I left 3 weeks befor vesting despite employee number sub 20). Glad for those that stayed and what opera bought was a very focused version of what we started with.
I didn't miss that. As I said: Now there are statistical issues one might run into - e.g., early overfitting of what is essentially a bandit algorithm, and unaccounted for feedback between training data and system outputs.

There is nothing fundamental about machine learning that says seed data like this will give biased outputs - many algorithms do have this problem (it's a difficult one to deal with), but it's not fundamental.

I certainly didn't get the impression from the article that it was advocating for algorithms which are less sensitive to these errors. Among other things, that's far less of a conversation that "we have to talk about", but far more of a conversation that some stats geeks have to talk about. These are also far less of an "ethical" problem (as the article asserts) and far more of a technical one.

But maybe I misread.

+1 for looking into peer reviewed publications, specifically review articles.

Not only are they concise, but they are highly referenced and well annotated. As long as you are willing to dig into the specific terms and concepts relevant to the subject yourself, you will find a very high S:N ratio in these papers.

The best part is that you can easily find yourself down 4-5 different rabbit holes by the time you are done because of the easy to follow references.

Fair enough! I agree with your statements on the classic composers, however modern composition in it's highest art forms has moved with the rest of art towards abstraction, accident, pure invention, and contemplation of pure noise. You might say the sound of reality is so complex that no living human composer can produce a convincing imitation either! (in the role of devil's advocate at the crossroads)

You might also say that all composers are doing clever improvisations in the style of the sound or reality :}

I agree that pop is simpler and more formulaic, but I'd argue that the practice can result in complexity that belies it's seeming simplicity. While simple, pop music is volatile, so a popular form one year might look entirely different than a popular form the next. It isn't driven by the same stylistic conformity as music in the classical periods was.

Pop music, when it well done, speaks in many layers, across cultural realities. I know that Bach for example, did the same, but I'd also argue, given the fact that composers are speaking on many levels, that many of those cultural realities are lost to the modern listener, some of whom are appreciating classical music in the mode you describe: an art of big structures, broad relationships, and metaphorical depth about ideas and things that they have no cultural basis to understand (and I think this idea goes a way towards explaining the increasing fragmentation and deconstruction of classical order in the high art of modern musical composition).

Therefore machinery might have an easier time reproducing classical music than popular music in spite of it's simpler melodic formulas.
