I've been working with embedding scale free graphs into a hyperbolic plane. I think it would make a good visualization tool for "hairball" graphs. What to have a chat about math?
Not quite the same, but the results for https://www.google.com/search?q=Hyperlinking+to+the+Site+fro... are interesting.
Might be fixed now. Can anyone confirm please?
I always enter something along the lines of <expletive>@<expletive>.<expletive>. My hope is that they'll waste money on trying to email it and then get a bounceback that the email failed to be delivered.
They don't have to ask the coin. They can just assign different meanings to heads and tails, flip the coin, and record the result as a prediction. If you have 1000 people do this, some of them will appear to be miraculous predictors just by chance. It doesn't matter whether they are talking about major trends in a complex ecosystem, or whether they believe they are performing inferences. Sometimes a correct guess is just a guess which turned out to be correct, rather than evidence of prophecy.

Not only can ants be used as pesticide - in some cases they also act as a herbicide and kill weeds and other plants that compete with their host tree: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v437/n7058/full/437495a... . Probably not useful for farming, but still cool.
Sounds nice and all, but part of me can't help but feel quite "eh" to see names like Netflix, Google and Microsoft in there, all responsible for bringing DRM into HTML and moving the open web more toward a closed one. So while they might champion for the open web in cases like these, it's obvious that the only thing they really care about is their bottom line and not paying license fees on video formats.
Are you in the US? If so, for some reason Miele and Nilfisk are incredibly expensive over there. They are cheap in Europe, but you cannot import due to voltage differences sadly.

I think that in general we need to see ourselves as part of an ecosystem rather absence of one -- eg rather than try to kill all the "bugs" in our homes, figure out which ones might be beneficial.

It's taken a long time for us to take this approach to intestinal flora and skin bacteria -- we need to think this way about everything.

Blackbird is a stealth, ventured backed, artificial intelligence technology company focused on solving some important challenges created by the shift from desktop to mobile. Our stack is primarily in functional style Scala (we are heavy functional programming users) with most of our AI stack in Python and C++.

We're one of a few startups that do AI research above and beyond product development. We host regular talks on multiple disciplines ranging from systems to functional programming to deep learning.

The team was founded by former Stanford CS graduates that built self driving cars, search at Google and Yahoo Research, co-authored the google file system and scaled Twitter to 200 million users. Our open source code powers Snapchat, Tumblr, Wikipedia in production today.

We're currently looking to add some great engineers to our team. Want to write highly scalable software with the architects who scaled Twitter and Google? Want to run ops for software which is designed for fault tolerance? Want to design next generation user interfaces? jobs at blackbird.am
I worked with a huge multinational company that was trying to replace the system they used for planning.

The system was 10s of millions of lines of 16-bit assembly code written for a minicomputer in the the mid-1970s. The next generation of 32-bit systems in the early 1980s were able to run the code, so they purchased one and kept it running to nearly 2000.

They had a project that was trying to rewrite everything in C targeting the DEC Apha, but after 10 years it still wasn't ready yet.

Because 80s era minicomputers sucked so much electricity, we were able to sell them new Pentium servers running SCO OpenServer that could emulate them. I always wondered if they ever got their rewrite project finished.
For most of the world - remnants of colonialism and slavery.

In the US, this includes systemic racism like racial steering and redlining. The Home Owners' Loan Corporation policies between the 1930s and 1950s gave "absurd amounts" of money primarily to white home owners. So-called "Sundown towns" prohibited non-white people from living there. Levittown, the first and most famous mass-produced suburb in the US, did not accept applications from black people.

The white population has therefore been able to take advantage of the long-term real estate boom in the US, with the generous financial support from the government. The black population has not. It takes more than a generation or two for these differences to go away.

"Why I never seen such problems with east asian immigrants?"

Perhaps because you don't know much about the topic? The Hmong people, who supported the US in Vietnam and fled to the US as refugees when the US pulled out, have had problem integrating. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hmong_American#Hmong_in_the_U..... .

You also have to remember that the US was anti-Asian immigration for a long time. We feared the "Yellow Peril". We had some pretty nasty and strict laws in place to keep most of them out. Quoting from the Wikipedia page on the topic, which quotes Horace Greeley:

> The Chinese are uncivilized, unclean, and filthy beyond all conception without any of the higher domestic or social relations; lustful and sensual in their dispositions; every female is a prostitute of the basest order

In 1923, the US Supreme Court in United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind found that an Indian Sikh man, despite being Caucasian, was not the right kind of 'white'. As the Naturalization Act of 1906 allowed only "free white persons" and "aliens of African nativity and persons of African descent" to be naturalized citizens, his naturalization was revoked.

With the Immigration Act of 1917 we banned immigration from much of Asia and the Pacific Islands. It wasn't until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 that we let Japanese, Koreans, and other Asians become naturalized in the US.

With the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, the old quota system was replaced with a "preference system that focused on immigrants' skills and family relationships with citizens or U.S. residents."

So you're only talking about relatively recent immigration from East Asia to the US, and with a preference for those who have skills the US wants.

That's a very different background than the generations of blacks who were taken or born into slavery, followed by another century of racist social and government policies. It's therefore meaningless to make the direct comparison you want.

Drone Oversight Is Coming to Construction Sites
I certainly didn't mean to belittle plumbers, or so-called "lifestyle businesses". Just to point out that the "1 in ten people is an entrepreneur"-type business-founding statistics are filled with people that are less playing VC-roulette and more hoping/expecting they can make more money as a contractor than an employee (I even had the "maybe you should form a limited company for your work on this project" conversation myself this morning). The tech startup bubble, on the other hand, is filled with people that will quite seriously advance the argument that bringing in actual revenue is something that should be postponed until a much later stage even if possible from day one. You tend to need a certain amount of privilege to think like that.

SV survivor-bias success stories are also littered with companies which might well have been allowed to fail if it came down to putting the founders' houses on the line...

> Between punishing sites that are not mobile responsive and this move I wonder if their motivations are partly fueled by the fear that mobile users are spending more times within native apps and not enough time on the web.

I think its more driven by the fact that more of Google search traffic comes from mobile, so its more critical that the results provide a good experience on mobile.

This isn't a trick, it's moving the information nearer to your user. This comes with a maintenance cost (though cache patterns make this much easier).
How'd you figure that out?

In short, these guys are using deep neural nets to find good hyperparameters for training other deep neural nets, and this works as well as a Gaussian Process[1] but is more scalable and can be parallelized, allowing for faster optimization of hyperparameters.

All of your action items are defeatist items.

How about: work at your day job and bootstrap a startup until it's cash flow positive or work as an apprentice for an entrepreneur until you can start your own.

Every successful entrepreneur I know outside of the valley has started in one of those two ways.

The idea of a "startup" having to have funding is looking at entrepreneurship in a complete backwards way.
There is a timeless quote by _why (of Ruby fame) that goes something like this: "You need to create, because otherwise you are defined by your taste in things." (my terrible paraphrasing).

> A common false awakening is a "late for work" scenario

And it just suddenly strikes me how fucked up it is. I mean, think about it: common stressful scenario in your dreams isn't the flood, or fire, or someones death, not some real danger or actual bad thing, but being late for school or work, because you overslept. I understand why it is so, but it is kinda sad, if you actually think of it.

I think it's clearer if you don't bring in the lemma. Calling the continuation is the same as returning a value: both are just a jump that restores the stack pointer and communicates a value. (The continuation just keeps the stack below the stack pointer instead of discarding it.) (Could it be that it's because continuations have certain properties that they fall under the lemma?)

The commutative diagrams, rather, remind me of diagrams that I remember from chemistry. We can go from this molecule to that one via this path or that one, and the energy deltas are the same.

Speaking of continuations, I'm currently looking at porting the trick used by some OCaml people of doing delimited continuations on the C stack, into my own language. It's pretty neat: just copy the C stack into a closure-like object, and then when you need to invoke the continuation, swap that segment back onto the regular linear stack (into a stable space prepared using alloca). Rebuild some exception handling chains through this new pieces of stack, and then invoke the thing using an exception (ultimately a longjmp). When it is done running, you can blow it away. All permanent effects are in external environments that are on the heap. The next time you call into it, you just copy it in the same way.

I'm unclear on how you can do a longjmp to something that has been copied elsewhere on the stack relative to its original location. I mean, the jmp_buf probably has an absolute stack pointer in it which it restores. I have to look at their code again; the obvious hack is to scan the jmp_buf for values that look like pointers into the stack area and adjust those values.

I implemented a stack copying hack once to get a 64 bit Linux kernel on MIPS to call into 32 bit firmware, passing ordinary local variables (whose addresses are 64 bit values on a 64 bit stack) to the firmware functions. I copied the kernel thread's stack into a buffer 32 bit addressable space. Then I adjusted all internal pointers within that stack to point to the correct places in the new location. The threads's pointer was then thunked into that space around the call to the firmware. The firmware API wrapper was then seeing data addresses whose lowest 32 bits could be passed down to the firmware routines via 32 bit registers and still point to the correct data. Of course, a reverse copy from the faked stack was then done to retrieve any results which the firmware routine wrote into local buffers. This worked well enough that I was able to expose boot firmware environment variables through a /proc interface (even making it writable!) Based on such past experience, I'm confident I can do this delimited continuation hack.

I still have several services written in Haskell running in production and they've been rock solid for years now.

For the kind of problems I used to solve with Haskell (typically tasks involving a bunch of concurrency and IO) I use Go now. Not because it's a better language, but because Haskell is so drastically different that having anyone else maintain these services would require tons of training. Meanwhile Go is extremely practical and very easy to learn.
My father died of brain caner in 2010, his email still works and I figured out his password to log in. He got 11,000+ messages since 9/1/2010 mostly junk but I noticed a few people were still sending him updates about Telephone Pioneers that got sick or died. He used to work for AT&T so I linked to his obituary and told them that he passed away.

He had a Yahoo email but it got deleted for not being accessed in a long time. He used it to play Java based games like Pool and other stuff at Yahoo Games.

He never got into social networks, but I could read invites from people trying to invite him after he passed away, not understanding that he is dead.

He had first initial middle initial last name for his email at sbcglobal.net so some other people with the same initials accidentally entered his email into websites and email lists.

My mother doesn't get the Internet anymore and stopped using an IBM Windows XP PC long ago. So I got permission to read her email on my PC and get my dad's email as soon as I figured out what his password was.

There are so many things that require an Internet connection these days, and since she doesn't have Internet I have to sign her online using my PC.

I had a friend who killed himself in 1999, had two different Yahoo accounts and I guessed the questions to reset his passwords, it asked what his mother's original middle name was. I gave access to the accounts to his widow to see if she could contact the people he talked to about his death. Some of them didn't want to believe her, she gave the address of the cemetery where his grave was. I am sure over time those email accounts were deleted due to inactivity by Yahoo as well. I tried to get him a job, and he got recruiter emails and he didn't read any of them, just stuffed them into a jobs folder.
