Or, as a commercial product, from the functionality available inside Matlab, Maple, or Mathematica? Those all have the same kind of notebook feature, but have the additional advantage of thousands of third-party libraries.

edit to add:

This project seems to be pretty neat, and it’s clear that a ton of work has gone into it, but I’m unlikely to ever use it.

Here’s my list of criteria for something like this:

(1) Is it open source? Am I being locked into someone’s proprietary environment? Can I inspect the code of every function I’m calling on, to make sure I trust them to behave correctly?

(2) Does it interoperate easily with my existing data and workflows? Can I easily scrape a webpage to feed data in, or import from a file in some obscure format from the 90s?

(3) Can I run it offline? Can I share it with anyone I want, and can they build on what I’ve made without paying a license fee? [Personally I think running on a computer locally is a big advantage over having everything done “in the cloud” and displaying in a web page, and thus being completely unavailable when offline. I’m assuming all the numeric code is being run on some server somewhere? Or is all the processing done locally in Javascript?]

(4) Is there some well tested library that already solves my problem that I can run within the tool, so that I can just download the library, use its API, and be done without a bunch of custom work on my end?

[Or more generally: does the tool solve some problem that I can’t easily solve in any other way?]

(5) Is the plotting functionality easy enough to make plots of data with a few seconds of work, but flexible enough that I can make a custom data visualization if I need to? (For a web project, I would just feed the data to D3.)

Don’t let me discourage you though. It’s great that people are working on tools, and quite possible that you’ll find a good market of folks who would use this thing.
Meta: I didn't know if that was an option technically on your end, but my two cents is that should be default behavior for this repost experiment.
my sub 400 sqft "apartment" would have been accessible if it had an elevator to get into it and the bathroom were adjusted accordingly.
Ah I see, thanks. I've been following IV for a while and this didn't seem familiar, so was wondering.
Unfortunately this is right.

As the target audience for Optimizely and an ex-customer, I have to say it annoys me to no end that they are so light on details. My time is limited and I don't want to have a conversation with a rep until I can see more of what it offers. Pretty much every analytics platform out there falls into this trap.

Half the time the sales reps can't even answer my questions so I have to waste even more time with a sales engineer on a followup call to just see basic things like pictures of the interface.
Yeah, those are the only options. The second option is what Blu-Ray and EME currently do, for example.

But yeah, basically no one is going to use this ever.

And, as I mentioned, we have designs that can be run safely by fallible humans, we just need to keep penny pinchers from breaking the design during design/construction. And extra $1,000,000 here and there for a safety margin is a far better investment than hundreds of millions in cleanup.

Comparing MacArthur Genius Grants and similar awards to venture capital isn't particularly apt. YCR or the fellowship might be slightly more comparable, but still pretty off mark.

To the parent: MacArthur Genius Grants have been given to computer scientists... IDK about "coder"; ostensibly, that code should be pretty remarkable if you're getting that kind of windfall. And if the code is so remarkable, there's probably some science or engineering behind it that is the actual reason for the award. In other words, by the time code is doing something that is societally significant, there are probably ideas extant in that code that are worth codifying and explaining in something other than a programming language. And probably those ideas/results have impacts that go far beyond a particular implementation.

I think the word most people are looking for in these cases is "disclosure", in that they want to "disclose" their affiliation so that readers are aware of potential biases in their views.
> How safe are the other reactor designs when malicious human intervention is considered is still a very open question.

Nothing is safe from malicious action, absolutely nothing. You can cut someone with a piece of paper, drown them with a glass of water, or stab them in the throat with a pencil. You can even simply punch someone with your hand in the back of the neck and kill them. We simply make malicious action difficult and unlikely through design and rules, exactly how we manage cars and coal plants and nuclear weapons.
I don't let the question rattle me. I do some research to work out what the market rate is for the skills and in the geographic area. Based on that I work out what I would be happy with and then add 15-20%. That gives me a buffer for negotiating. If the potential employer baulks and wants to pay much less, I think it is best if we don't get more involved.

I actually prefer it when the employee goes first. It shows your confidence and anchors the perception of your value.

Taking a job for less than what you would be happy with is an immediate recipe for dissatisfaction. That is a very bad way to start a job.
Ignorance is, in fact, bliss, sometimes.

> shows how safe nuclear power is, even in old designs.

More than that, had the reactors been gravity-shutdown capable ones and gravity fed cooling (rather than pump driven) and the seawalls been higher as originally proposed, none of us would be talking about Fukushima. So like you said, safety isn't unattainable. Just the opposite, it's usually sabotaged by people who have no place making such calls.
Yes, this. I was in Cub Scouts about the same time (Hey there, old timer!) and can confirm. IIRC the winningest design around my stomping grounds were a pencil-thin body design instead of the flat one you talk about here. And weighed down as much as possible, of course. Absolutely I remember it being boring because of the complete lack of room for experimentation. I did it two years in a row, and being the only experimenter, ended up losing badly both times. Pinewood Derby specifically is the reason I hate sports or games with many artificial limitations that shoehorn every player into a very small number of strategies.
Agreed. I'm half-way through, and I haven't made up my mind on whether I accept all his arguments, but it's well presented, well reasoned, and well researched so far.
That's bullshit. Probably the first thing that would die would be the crappier part of the web - the one made to earn lots of money. Bye bye ad-sponsored clickbait image bullshit sites. Hello again honest communities. Sure, there would be lot of plagiarism, but it wouldn't stop people from creating content. Best content is often created by people who want to create something so that it exists, not just to make a buck out of it. Open source code is not an exception, it's the rule.

Matlab, Maple, etc are very good at what they do, but they have two problems that my platform solves.

1. Your manager and/or customer can't see your work unless they have a license and can understand the language. Mine only needs a web browser.

2. If the analysis changes, the documentation must be updated as well. Mine does everything on the same web page.

As for the questions, those are all ones that I have asked myself about several times and here is where I am now.

(1) It is not open source and you really are kinda locked into using the system once you get going. I really couldn't find a way around this as the real appeal for most engineers is the absence of the need to code stuff. I have documentation that describes how I solve most algorithms and some demos.

(2) Scraping web pages is high on my to do list. You can paste most forms of data already, but you can't yet import files directly. Seeing that this is high on someone else's list I may put most of my effort there.

(3) Right now, everything is done locally in javascript but there is no way to save changes without server access. Part of my business plan is to use a server side code to solve large data sets and possibly charge for that. I have been surprised at how well the browser has handled most problems though.

(4) The main problem that this will solve for most people is this ... You get data from a test run somewhere. You put that data on a server, run a Matlab or Python code on it and then create a word document to pass on that info. With my system, you upload the info, analyze it, and display the results all on the same web page. It isn't just about analyzing the data, it's about doing everything on the same platform.

(5) The plotting functions are pretty easy to use and you can get something up in a few seconds. I also have 3D plotting.
That's increadibly cynical, but if cybernetics ever become a thing, I think it's painfully obvious what will happen.

I am an ex customer of theirs in one of the highest tiers. Their sales reps were better than most, but in general I'd agree with parent poster.

I'm the target of a lot of analytics and ad tech/network sales people and at this point in my career I loathe talking to them. Many try to blow smoke up my ass, try to mask deficiencies about their product instead of just being honest about shortcomings and trying to explain why the value is still worth it, and the list goes on.

Hell, I've had some ad tech sales people flat out lie to me and then had their executive boss get mad at me when I called them on it because I was lied to. They tried to say the sales guy made a mistake and couldn't offer what they had offered. Oops!

As soon as someone comes up with a way to cut out sales people from enterprise sales I will shower them with money.

IMO it's a very bad argument - it assumed most, or best, content is created in order to make money, whereas I believe that the best content is created by people who feel they have something to share, for the purpose of just it being out.

It's strange how as a culture we started to believe creating is just an instrument to make money. Adults are insane; they lose understanding they had as kids, that creating something and/or solving a problem can, and should be, a terminal value in itself.

Dig a little deeper, there are plenty of modern classical music composers. Just last year I saw the opening of John Adam's Become Ocean and it was fantastic modern classical music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGva1NVWRXk

It's not really classical music, since classical music is a style that clearly refers to a certain era of music composition + game music is hardly anything similar to classical music in the first place.

I wish I could attribute it to just my cynicism. I'm not saying they will succeed, but I have no doubts they'll try very hard, like they do now with every single piece of technology. There are millions of marketers and executives whose only job is trying to figure out how to squeeze money out of something, burning any value in the process if necessary. I've worked with the types, they have a particular way of thinking that makes you blind to the fact you're fucking your customers - or the society - over. A kind of reverse reality distortion bubble, in which you believe the victims of your ideas are actually happy about them.

I imagine if it did, we'd still be having a similar discussion. Without certain events by the court that reset or reaffirm interpretations, Constitutional "wandering" can run amok (see Interstate Commerce Clause and the War on Drugs).

District of Columbia v. Heller comes to mind, where the court confirmed a particular reading of the Second Amendment. In 50 years they'll probably have to reaffirm it again. Or they could go a different way...

I can easily imagine a bizzaro world where the Fourth Amendment does contain the word privacy, and the court has had to reaffirm or reinterpret what "privacy" means in context over and over.

PS - best comment of the night, nitrogen.
I can't understand the first two layer RNN which according to the author optimized the word vectors.

it says:

During training, we can follow the gradient down into these word vectors and fine-tune the vector representations specifically for the task of generating clickbait, thus further improving the generalization accuracy of the complete model.

how to you follow the gradient down into these word vectors?

if word vectors are the input of the network, don't we only train the weight of the network? how come the input vectors get optimized during the process?
Capsule does not resemble servlet containers and WAR files at all. You can think of Capsule as a fat jar that always works and contains a startup script (which is declarative and placed in the JAR's manifest). It is a packaging solution. It isn't a deployment format (like a WAR), but a JAR that can configure the JVM that runs it.

And while the word "container" is used here, we mean a different kind of containers -- those that give you virtualization and app isolation at the OS level[1]. So there is no container -- like a sevlet container -- that hosts multiple applications, and no specific programming model.

From the article:

One is that everything old was once new, and new things often provoke a backlash. We ought to be humble in believing that our opinions represent some timeless, objective truth, looking backwards or forwards. The same bungalows that seem to us quaint and charming were tacky and soulless to many of the people watching them be built; it seems more than possible that the new apartment buildings we vilify today will be thought of sentimentally by future generations who know them only as an important part of their city since they were born.

answering your q: i usually just say my last salary +$X/hr. maybe adding "but I'm flexible".
Is it possible do branching on an IO stream (without using a buffer, or what would really be some memory for CPU60)?
If you want to know what comes next from fb as far as Flux goes, dig into Relay. It's actually really important to build flexibility into the data types. The model of a user changes but a year-old app should still be able to query and understand the results.

That also goes for old components. When you have thousands of components, how do you update the model? Well, you avoid strict typing and look to query languages instead. Rather than every component sharing a type, each component internally defines what it needs.

Move to the dispatcher, the data fired off by actions needs to fit the stores that are listening. A common type requires everything to be completely in sync. I think it's worth considering how a query language could fit here, such that a listener can query the payload for what it needs from a message. A flexible object/JSON blob are a reasonable way to pass messages with an eye for that in the future.

I look at the messages to be the start to a distributed application architecture. So I can have messages that target remote services. Eg "turn on living room lights". And similarly, messages from the server, "living room lights are now on." It's a nice way of tying local APIs and remote services together. Have them all communicate with the same messages.
Yeah typically it would be "full disclosure".

Requiring backdoors could easily be seen as aiding violation of the Fourth Amendment, and thus be unconstitutional.
