It was great visiting Cuba for exactly this reason. That's a country entirely untouched by American-style capitalism; namely putting a brand and label on any empty space. Their cities and highways have life to them, such a beautiful country! It's a damn shame the embargo is ending, multinationals are going to destroy the place.

I second the Maths degree with the OU. I just finished a masters in maths with them and they really didn't pull any punches. I am a far better mathematician now than I was five years ago (or rather, five years ago I wasn't any kind of mathematician, but now I can blitz through a post-graduate level textbook and bootstrap myself to competency). I'm getting a bit old for serious exams, though. I genuinely started to feel light-headed in the final one.

That. Plus our discernible high power radio emissions can be a short lived phenomenon: we may end up switching to very directional emissions for long-distance communication and to low-power for local communication. The spectrum allocated to radio and TV already seems a waste. While it will be somewhat evident something strange is happening in terms of energy being radiated to space, any civilization will have to work very hard to separate the multitude of signals they get. The combined murmur of billions of radio voices will be indistinguishable from white noise.

If your in the US, I heard about this[1] site over the weekend. I haven't looked too far in to the details myself but skimming over it, it looks legitimate. In their analysis, they don't reference the section being vetted but it is rather simple analysis.

I am a mid-gold elo LoL player and was a Diamond SC2 player when Diamond was the highest league. In my experience, MOBA's are winning because controlling one unit doesn't give you the same stress level that comes with controlling an army, setting control groups, preventing supply caps, scouting, considering what you need to build next to counter your opponent, and taking steps to stop every cheese strategy that your opponent might try. Even if you've executed at a high level, you can still lose in the blink of an eye if you fail to react. I stopped SC2 because it left me with an uneasy feeling once I got near the top. LoL, on the other hand, barely requires the kind of APM that SC2 does at a high level. It's more about knowing the correct items to build and when you can win a fight. Sure, you still need mechanics to get high creep score and execute in team fights, but you can play champions where that reliance is mitigated.

Reddit AMA: Ohio State “weld 'un-weldable' Metals” Professor Glenn Daehn, Nov 9
My favourite piece of advice here:

| Sometimes, incidentally, it's much easier in these transforming events to figure out the losers. You could have grasped the importance of the auto when it came along but still found it hard to pick companies that would make you money. But there was one obvious decision you could have made back then it's better sometimes to turn these things upside down and that was to short horses. Frankly, I'm disappointed that the Buffett family was not short horses through this entire period. And we really had no excuse: Living in Nebraska, we would have found it super-easy to borrow horses and avoid a "short squeeze."
Back to the USSR. East-West relations are reverting to the Cold War days. From saber-rattling, proxy wars to propaganda campaigns, few will dispute that there has been a back-slide in recent years.

But here is what I find amazing: we have already seen this movie and we know what forces are at play and what the likely outcome is. Namely, it is very difficult to maintain legitimacy as a government through a propaganda campaign. It is a highly unstable equilibrium. At any time, information can get out of the hands of the propagandists and the system will find a more stable equilibrium -- ie. leaders will be replaced. It's just a matter of time.

Right now the Kremlin is likely undergoing an intense debate on how to spin the downing of the recent Russian flight as something other than a reaction to the Russian air war in Syria. This is a heavy lift. Maybe they will succeed in this and maybe not. If so, they will have found a temporary reprieve but will no doubt find themselves encountering a similar issue in the future. The legitimacy of the Russian leadership will continually find itself teetering so long as it relies on propagandists to hold back a flood of disapproval.

Compare this system to the inherent stability of responsive governments with rule of law: healthy democracies (ie. Western democracy), responsive authoritarian systems (Singapore, China). Both these systems have release valves. In the case of democracies, elections reassert legitimacy with election cycles. In the case of responsive authoritarian systems, the government relies on surveys and technocratic leadership.

Russia has neither method of achieving stable equilibrium and so the propaganda will serve as a shaky dike holding back an ever growing force.

The double-O program was mostly a relic of the cold war era that, while may have been in vogue during the dying Yeltsin years and the earlier Bush years, has been getting outdated. There are obviously places that would gain from it, but we have developed more efficient means to complete the same objectives, without as much collateral damage and project bloat, if you get what I mean. The world of 2015 is agile, and quick-moving than the antiquated world of double-O program, which seemed to exist solely to justify the vast amount of infrastructure and manpower needed to support it. To put it differently, double-O program was mostly a jobs program (in terms of support staff), is not at all as glamorous as new recruits are originally made to believe, and it may be the right time for us to finally abandon the double-O frame of mind.
Smart has a small amount of good points which are all likely pure coincidence: his way of communicating his point of view incites conflict. Conflict is one of the worst ways to reach a beneficial solution and this makes me strongly doubt the guy actually has the best interests of the game in mind.

That being said, everyone (Backers, Roberts, Smart and Escapist) have been immature about this fiasco to varying degrees.

Everything You Need to Know About Eric Paley of Founder Collective
This is really significant. At this moment in history, the growth of computer power has made a bunch of important signal-processing and statistical tasks just feasible, so we are seeing things like self-driving cars, superhuman image recognition, and so on. But it's been very difficult to take advantage of the available computational power, because it's in the form of GPUs and clusters. TensorFlow is a library designed to make it easy to do exactly these things, and to scale them with your available computing power, along with libraries of the latest tricks in neural networks, machine learning (which is pretty close to "statistics").

As a bonus, it has built-in automatic differentiation so that you can run gradient descent on any algorithm — which means that you can just write a program to evaluate the goodness of a solution and efficiently iterate it to a local maximum. If you do this enough times, hopefully you'll find a global maximum. There are a variety of other numerical optimization algorithms, but gradient descent is very simple and broadly applicable.

And it runs in IPython (now Jupyter), which is a really amazingly powerful way to do exploratory software development. If you haven't tried Jupyter/IPython, google up a screencast and take a look.

I'm just repeating the stuff that's on the home page in a different form, but this is a really big deal. Most of the most significant software of the next five or ten years is going to be built in TensorFlow or something like it. (Maybe Dan Amelang's Nile; see Bret Victor's amazing video on the dataflow visualization he and Dan built for Nile recently at https://youtu.be/oUaOucZRlmE?t=24m53s, or try the live demo at http://tinlizzie.org/dbjr/high_contrast.html, or download and build the Nile system from https://github.com/damelang/nile.)

Apparently the Googlers think that too, because among the 39 authors of the white paper are several shining stars of systems research, including some who may be up for a Turing Award in the next decade or two.
I partially disagree with you. Some of my most memorable moments are the stories of various games. Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, Zelda: A Link to the Past and so on all, with their great gameplay for the time, above average to great story lines that captured its audience.

Now on to games like StarCraft, DoDA, Quake 3, and Counter-Strike were all hailed as some of the greats, not because of the story like you pointed out, but because of the game mechanics that allowed them to be used as a medium for competitive gaming. And, as a former competitive gamer, I can attest to the addictive nature of gaming that causes your heart to race and one's palms to sweat while trying to clinch a victory.

For this, I believe you can't say stories don't matter. I believe there are games that are better suited for repetitive gameplay and those that rely on a great story and subpar game mechanics to reel in or captivate the player(s).
Those are defined exceptions in the law. There's also a kind of engineer that deals with physical plants for big buildings, I think they're called Stationary Engineers. Those are also an exception.

Agreed. Tube ads are the only ones I'm happy to view as they're mostly for museums, galleries or theatres.

Otherwise I actively avoid advertising wherever possible – I haven't watched broadcast TV or commercial radio in years and block all the things online.

Interestingly, the other day I was on the tube and every single ad was for web-based services. No physical products or pre-Internet companies at all.
I've been reading a great history book lately about the end of the Cold War. The author had the chance to interview folks on both sides of the conflict.

The Russians were very, very good at establishing relationships with easily-influenced folks in the west, then using them to sway public opinion. Some were paid off, some were "useful idiots". I'm only guessing, but from what I've seen online in the last decade or so it looks like they've wholeheartedly taken those skills and applied them to internet trolling.

Of course, I'm sure they're not alone. The internet has become just another battleground for nation-states. It would be very interesting to learn how much money is being spent on this kinda stuff worldwide. I bet it easily runs in the eight figures.

Visualisualisation of live threat intelligence from darknets
This "backwards" meme doesn't make any sense. Python 2 and Python 3 are different languages that happen to share the same name, a lot of syntax, and near-source compatibility, but they've been developed concurrently for ten years now. It's kind of like C and C++. If the current Python 2 team (which is part of the Python Software Foundation) abandons it, probably somebody else will take over maintenance, because it seems unlikely that it will fall out of use.

If the Python Software Foundation drops the ball, someone else will pick it up.

I am really excited about this library. Tensors are the future; matrices are going to look so old in a few years. In fairness, Theano already knew that. I cannot wait to dig into this and am very relieved that Google's best are still using Python for this endeavour...but...using Python 2.7.

I have just recently been persuaded by the community that 3.5 is cost free, and here I have this enormous counterexample. For the science guys, clearly, the message is not getting through, and I'm not surprised: 3.x offers them nothing. Hence they're blissfully continuing with 2.7.

So I guess I'll have to run two Pythons on my system. Not the ideal situation.

Now if Python 3.(x > 5) would give us native GPU, which might require putting (a GPU-enabled) Numpy into the standard library...as opposed to, say, spending 2 years re-inventing Tornado....

There is credence to having a general distrust in journalism. This has been the case since Yellow Journalism of the 1920s. You're playing the fool if you don't think journalists, even independent ones, aren't promoting an agenda, often one that isn't tangible at that moment of your consumption.

Getting funded outside the Valley is an order of magnitude harder, so it makes sense to move to the Valley I guess (even temporarily).

A local company raised 25.000 dollars here in Uruguay, got accepted into 500 Startups and got over a million dollars in funding (which is basically impossible here), they have a very cool idea and innovative tech but had little traction at the time.

I look forward to what this Chinese billionaire does in this space.

There's a note on the site about being able to move computation to a process on a different machine, but it does mention copying the model. If I understand correctly, I think models tend to be quite small, though.

Does it actually make sense to train a model simultaneously on different machines? I can understand running the same model on lots of machines, of course.
No, secrecy of this type has no place in a democratic society.
