Yes, absolutely. With almost all implementations, any learned/trained parameters are stored in a file or database and can be backed-up, restored, or transferred to a duplicate.

Some systems are sensitive to precise calibrations of sensors and actuators, which must be done per-device. But usually this stuff is low-level detail that is decoupled from the AI stuff.

How to live stream Apple's iPhone 6S event on Android and Windows
That's a good point, and sort of what I was using the monthly rate to eyeball. I think in (amortized) monthly costs for other ways of provisioning bulk computation, e.g. owning+powering your own hardware, renting a dedicated server, or VPSs. Not really equivalent, since those are better options if 24/7 uptime is needed, while a physically owned server or rented dedicated server are poorly priced when only occasional usage is needed. But I have a feel for what bulk compute currently costs me per-month with full utilization, as a starting point for comparing other options.
I occasionally see @aol.com addresses and cringe to think that people might still be paying $20/month for it. Is a compuserve account free at least?
Apple is making its live stream available on Windows for the first time, but only for Windows 10. Here's how to watch it on Android and other versions of Windows.
Obviously, the details matter and there are few here so I guess I can only make a generalized statement...

Think really hard about the "standards" you have set and ask yourself if they are necessary. Depending on what phase of development and release your product is at, maybe you can get by with a whole lot more ducktape than you think. Is it maybe worth to accumulate some technical debt in order to release faster? Do you need that fancy micro services architecture or could you get by with one monolithic service in the beginning?

Does all your development have to be done by top notch developers? There are features and aspects of your product which are a competitive advantage and there are just as many things which are just plumbing. Can less experienced, cheaper or outsourced resources work on the plumbing?

All these choices and standards you have set in your mind about what your product must be have an associated cost to them. As an engineer you want to build the best possible solution using the most "correct" approach your engineering ego strives for. I doubt any of that matters to your end user who can't see any of it...as long as it works.

So, if you are in the seed funding stage, maybe you should consider every single nasty ugly horrific shortcut to release something that works just to stay alive.

ARM mbed OS Beta is here
Whenever I rent a movie off iTunes, it will fail 2GB in complaining about data corruption. Then it restarts the download. A younger naive me used to give it a 2nd/3rd chance to complete the download but now I turn to torrents with the justification that I already bought the right to watch it.

Netflix/Hulu/Google/Youtube is very reliable and high quality but their library is lacking. It's a shame they don't seem to have the selection Apple does. Compared to any of their libraries, Amazon Instant is more of a bookshelf so I haven't given its streaming reliability a shot yet.

My roommate's family has HBO, so he has an account to watch HBO. But instead we torrent Game of Thrones every Sunday because the video quality is better and there's no risk of buffering interruptions. It's annoying enough for me but this is becoming a small social event and I would gladly pay $5-10 (or I guess break the law) for a guaranteed quality viewing experience for guests.

There really is no legal equivalent to torrents in terms of selection or quality. If there was I would pay for it, like I do for music.

One advantage const can bring (at least when used with primitives or frozen values) can come from JS IDEs: if they detect a value is const, they can report its value when hovering the variable name, in a static way.

That's what Java IDEs do with static final variables.

This is a really interesting and well reasoned comment. I'm not gonna try to refute most of it because I actually agree with a bunch of it. But I just wanted to point out that different artistic mediums behave differently. For instance, with PC games (Steam dominates here) it doesn't seem that the "deflationary race to the bottom" that has been happening there (as more and more low quality games get in) has been affecting developers who produce ~good~ games. This can be either because Steam somehow managed to solve this magically or because the PC gaming audience is more engaged in what they buy, either way, not everything you said would play out that way in that market. I think these differences should also be taken in consideration separately for music, movies and books if you want a more accurate result in what you think would happen.
I'll second the Github comment - I've got a couple of ideas for tweaks, etc I'd like to suggest.

No it doesn't. We really have no idea of the possible upper limit of AI intelligence other than physics, while with humans we actually have data on the upper limit. It could be that the maximum intelligence possible is limited by something other than physics, but at this stage we don't know.

On this topic speculating on how greater intelligence will think and act is very hard. Even understanding how people at the very top level of human intelligence think is beyond most of us.
OP said "...than it would be for a similar student from a rural school", and you and I both responded to that. We're not talking about average students, in either context. I don't think Harvard or anybody would care to see IB, interning, or posh sports on the app from South Dakota so long as they see a dedicated, talented student who will thrive at university and challenge her classmates.

That's one way of looking at it.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. No disagreement then.
I would genuinely (no sarcasm) like to read a blog post that makes a stronger argument (in either direction) than mine. Most blog posts I've read about `const` cite very flimsy things like "it makes my code more readable" without any real meat as to why that's true. I tried to debunk that with careful thought. If someone has more convincing arguments besides subjective opinion, I'd love to read them.
> One place I find it useful to start is with the one empirical attempt to actually try basic income, the Canadian Mincome Experiment

Mincome was not an unconditional basic income, which is what the recent "basic income" efforts have been about. It was a means-tested social benefit program (though with perhaps lighter administrative overhead, since it was a strictly cash-benefit program with only outside income affecting grant eligibility, rather than the rather complex set of factors typical of social benefit programs.)

Most of the benefits claimed from UBI are tied pretty specifically to the unconditional aspect. OTOH, its results are interesting in that even with the reduction in benefits for outside income ($0.50 benefit reduction on each $1 of outside income), only teenagers and new mothers worked substantially less. This is interesting in considering UBI, since UBI has less reduction in incentive to work (no reduction in benefit for outside income).

> The other direction is to look at today's Social Security (basic income for the elderly)

Social Security isn't even approximately a basic income -- benefits are determined by tax payments (ultimately, by income earned in jobs subject to Social Security tax.)

I don't think my argument was to avoid `const`. I think my argument was to pick `const` at the end rather than at the beginning. I feel those are different arguments.
Interestingly, the controller on all those displays can actually talk DPI, it's just never pinned out - and there are probably even cheaper DPI-only displays out there, judging from the price of devices that use them. Unfortunately they seem to be really difficult to get hold of.

ES6 support is nice, especially if there is no performance hits for using ES6 features. I slightly prefer Typescript, but the extra language features in ES6 really make JavaScript development more fun for me. Thanks to the newly re-combined Node team!
Your latter paragraph seems a bit fuddy as people 'just dipping in and out' would never have to have contended with the iojs 'name' any more than Python/Ruby/PHP people have to switch to a different VM every time one is announced (e.g. PyPy/Rubinius/Hack).

I'd agree with your first paragraph in that Node is a bit lower-level out of the box and probably takes more effort to get started building a web-app, but I think the time invested jumping in at that low-level is actually useful vs diving in at a higher 'framework level' with some of the other popular web languages.

Also it does have superior installer/package-manager/deployment stories compared to say ... Python & Django, which does have an impact on ROI.
I think it means that the API is stable, it's not related to how well the software works.

I'm not Alexis, but we just looked over your ticket together. I think the initial place where this became more complicated was the assumption made during the first reply to your ticket, which was that you had already exhausted the password reset attempts. You mentioned (here, not in the ticket) not receiving them; maybe we should have tried harder to figure out why the password reset option wasn't working for you.

At any rate, once that point is reached, we act with the security of the domain in mind. If the handle in question belongs to an individual and you have access to the email associated with the account, it's as easy as sending a copy of your ID. In this case it was a company handle, which requires some proof that you're authorized to act on behalf of the company.

This kind of situation is exactly why we offer reseller-type accounts (free of charge), which allow you to control your clients' domains and handles from one place, while leaving the domains in their name.

Given that there may have been an easier solution available, I'm sorry this went down the way it did. But at the same time, we don't think it's unreasonable to ask for proof of ID when you're trying to gain access to an account: We don't have access to any payment information that could reliably identify you, as it all goes directly through our payment processor. We understand when you explain the situation, but such explanations are all too often indistinguishable from social engineering, and so we take it a step further--for the sake of the security of people's domains.

We are humans, but we're paranoid humans, and a great deal of our customers appreciate that.

If you ever decide to give us another chance, you can reach me at aj (at) gandi.net. I can help you set up a reseller account (and do my best to restore your faith in us).
I have often mentioned this project to others over the years, when talking about audio cues and using audio to help understand large data sets.
One reason, at least, that they skew toward wealth is that they don't market themselves to others. Recent research has shown that the best poor students often have no idea that Harvard and other elite schools exist (as hard as that is to believe for most people on HN), much less that they might be accepted and afford to attend, and that they never apply. Remember that many of these students come from a world where few go to college, much less where elite schools are discussed or where their graduates and others with those kinds of career are around them.

And the few who make it fail at much higher rates; from what I recall research points to the fact that colleges are geared toward middle/upper-middle class students, mostly white. The cultural adjustment is huge (remember these are 18 year olds leaving their neighborhoods for the first time) and few adults or peers understand their situation. Also, many have poor support from home, financially and socially; rather than receiving encouragement, they get asked why they are wasting time and money on college.

In effect (and assuming Harvard follows those patterns) Harvard offers aid with the knowledge that few will take it, and without orienting their services to serve the new students. They could do much better. From what I understand, Amherst has gone a long way toward solving these problems.
I use someone else Netflix account (with permission), and PopCorn time.

For the most part I prefer Netflix, their automatic HD to non-HD switching as needed is great (instead of you having to load the entire thing in HD or non-HD), their servers are good (much faster than some stuff on PopCorn), and there are some other minor advanges.

Still, I use PopCorn because frequently stuff is not available anywhere else, I am from Brazil, many stuff is not available here at all, and Netflix is also kinda limited.

What IS interesting, is that Netflix and PopCorn are killing pirated disc sellers (where I live you see lots of street vendors charging about 5 USD for a disc with pirated content, they were really popular when they were the only way to get what you wanted, but now Netflix and PopCorn are cheaper).
I know why: because they have no advertisements on them :)

I have a good connection, so usually downloading a torrent of an HD movie takes 5 minutes (20-30 megabyte/s). On the other hand for some reason netflix often seems to think that I can't watch movies in HD or has small issues with streaming.

So I sometimes actually download a torrent of a movie that I started watching on Netflix. Likewise for Game of Thrones, I have a subscription to a TV channel in my country that has all the latest HBO shows but I download them because the quality is better.
That's actually really good to know about.

So if a system is too complex for us to discover its equations (so far) that means that we don't know anything about it?

I'd say if you can't express your beliefs as equations, code, or similar unambiguous form, then you don't understand your own beliefs. (Or alternately, you don't want others to have the ability to unambiguously debunk them.)

...when I say that the system is complex you say I'm evading your question...It's not the laws of arithmetic, it's their applicability to reality.

This is a perfect example of evading the question. You make some weird analogy to special relativity, but refuse to actually state why simple arithmetic doesn't apply to counting humans.

...ambiguously, because you didn't explain how white power can win without your cooperation if every player behaves like you do.

It can't. But since changing my behavior won't change theirs, I still have no incentive to cooperate.

Your previous comments address the paradox-of-choice idea, but the uncontroversial path in Node is to 'just use Express' right? How it that a worse situation than in other languages where there are also trendy frameworks competing against the default option. You name PHP as a better situation but from what I gather PHP is even worse at casting off legacy frameworks. Laravel is the new trendy, whereas it was CodeIgniter/Symphony before that and EE/Wordpress before that. And in Ruby, there's similar competition over an alternative to Rails [0].

It seems the “bus pavilions”, as they were respectably known, provided a much needed outlet for creative energy, which was otherwise stifled.
I agree - I think I could get away with arguing that Ruby became popular because of Rails (that may not be completely true, but I and a lot of other devs I know learned about ruby because of rails at least). Node, OTOH, has no central framework that people learn of and then say, "oh, I have to learn node to use XYZ".

There are plenty of libraries that provide whatever level of support you want, but one big reason people seem to use Node is for the ease of the DIY process. Honestly, I don't need an all-in-one system, because my system has needs that aren't easily modeled in ActiveRecord (or at least weren't during Rails 3 days when I moved over to Node). Instead, I am doing mix-and-match with smaller libraries to help database access, realtime (websocket) services, OAUTH, and a trad REST backend.

I also think it's fair to compare the release of node and the release date of ruby or python - it was really only then that we can start talking about needing frameworks for building web applications that run in the javascript language, whereas the other two languages could have done so right away (or ... later, once the web application world became more than just a cgi gateway on top of a c++ stack, like the lunch menu randomizer I had running back in 1995). Still, no matter how you slice it, node and server-side javascript are still relatively new on the scene, and not necessarily well-suited for an all-in-wonder, highly-opinionated framework.

I came from a middle class suburb outside Atlanta, and I had no clue where Stanford even was. Couldn't even have told you the state. I'd heard of it (mostly the physics program), but no idea what they were all about. I applied to top engineering schools, but at the time I wouldn't have put Stanford in the top 10.

I'd have been wrong, but I didn't know anyone who went there or even applied there, which counts for a lot. MIT, the Ivies, sure. Cal Tech and even Harvey Mudd. But not Stanford. No doubt it was a regional thing at the time, and it may well have changed by now.

To address what you and tgflynn are saying. Machine learning != robotics. Robotics is mostly probabilistic inference / search, control theory, etc. The Sebastian Thrun course actually looks great - for robotics. Even computer vision is mostly not related to machine learning. And when machine learning is used, it has usually been simpler, faster "dumber" algorithms.

Deep learning has only recently made advances in computer vision and robotics - it's still definitely an open area of research. Even in production it's only going to be a component of a larger system. I would bet the vast majority of the work in Google's self-driving car is related to probabilistic inference / mapping / search / feature-engineering, and mostly does not involve machine learning.
>I think asynchronous programming in the reactor pattern is a good solution pattern for many types of problems, and Node.js is a solid application of that pattern.

Asynchronous programming a la Node (with callbacks etc) is an anti-pattern.
