>"0.001[the p value] is the conditional probability of type I error conditioned on the data"

From the paper: alpha= probability of type I error

So, there are two equations:

p value= p(alpha|data)

alpha = E[E[p value|given data]]

Substituting we get:

alpha = E[E[(alpha|data)|given data]]

What is the difference between "given data" and "data"? How do you isolate alpha?

Looking at the waveform graph on the site, it looks like it turns the output to 1 when both inputs are 1, and turns the output to 0 when both inputs are 0 (In other words, it assigns the output to the inputs when the inputs are in agreement). Though, that's just a guess.
Not very clear as it requires an account creation at booking.timekit.io

From FAQ:

IS IT FREE & OPEN SOURCE?

Yes & yes! Booking.js actually consists of two components: FullCalendar and the Timekit API. The actual implementation is open source on Github and we'd love PRs. It's worth noting that the actual use of the widget is meant to be included with JS served from our CDN so we can push out updates and track usage.
Congestion isn't what worries me about self-driving cars.

It's what police and governments will do once they're on the road. What are your rights as a passenger in a self-driving car? Does a govt official have the right to track the movements of a self-driving car in real time? Do they have the right to override your car's computer and order it to pull over? Can a badguy send a command to the car to make it do something bad, potentially causing harm to the passengers and to other vehicles? Oh, and let's not even think about what badguys could do with self-driving cars in terms of terrorism.

Nah, I'm not gung-ho about a future with these things all over the place.

Exact same for me. If I didn't know anything about sous vide, I would be incredibly confused with this website and the product. The videos hardly even tell you what this does.

Beyond the specs, what are the actual benefits?
Maybe, instead of taking precautions like trying to always take the same amount of time for some computation (which sounds like a pain!) we could take advantage of some unique properties of async chips. I'm thinking of something like randomly varying the voltage as the computations take place so that time differences will not correlate to data.

I agree with you, but once a person is in the prison system, the goal should be rehabilitation because almost all prisoners will re enter society at some point. The problem is that the prison system isn't very good at rehabilitation as evidenced by the high rates of recidivism. Ask yourself this: does prison, as it exists today, make convicts better people?

I do not say this lightly -- this is a stupid, stupid concern.

Driverless cars will not circle for an hour unless their owners have free energy. If (and this is a big if) the typical driverless car is owned by a single party and not needed, the rational economic incentive will be to park it somewhere safe where it can't get into trouble and will be close by where you need it.

Let's imagine a thought experiment about our new $125,000 2019 self driving Tesla Model S, right after it drops me off in Mountain View. Do I send it out to circle through the peninsula, or do I tell it to park somewhere 'optimal' meaning some local optimum of close by, cheap and safe?

Even if it's my new $22,000 2022 self-driving Nissan Leaf, why risk road time, wear and tear and battery run-down? This just makes no sense as an issue that litigators need to get on top of.
It's hard to post actual objective findings, beacuse scientists themselves are seriously affected by the culture around those issues. Just like people are afraid of saying something contrary to the mainstream narrative, scientists are afraid to publish it too. On the other hand, a lot of studies - even completely unrelated to the issue - are having their conclusions purposefully and forcefully fitted to match the narrative, to score cheap popularity points. The topic is so politicized, that you can't rely even on studies to tell you anything at the moment.

I'm willing to admit that all I think about various minorities is completely wrong. I'll be happy to, when presented with evidence (and I've been adjusting my views every time I stumbled upon something that looked even little like legit research). Personally, I'm not arguing for any side of the issue. I'm arguing against using bad methodology, bad science, logical fallacies, lies and propaganda. I'm arguing for civility and detached behaviour in discussion. Only when people calm the fuck down we'll be able to figure out where the truth lies and how much we have to adjust at personal and societal level.

sorry, I should have clarified

ok, I see.

the US is atrociously higher than it's contemporaries (a rate of ~4.8 vs ~1.0-1.5)

What is that a rate of, murders per 100k or something?

Maybe the US just has a population and/or conditions that are more prone to committing murder, that doesn't mean the country should scale back it's punishment of murderers.
It's highly doubtful that the longer sentence length(is the US's longer on average?) is somehow contributing to a higher murder rate.

What did you think about how I described sentence length as being a function of cost-benefit analysis?

That isn't to say that I think all sentences are optimum, or even near optimum, some have gotten completely out of whack, or altogether unnecessary, drug crimes for example.

The benefits of frameworks are overrated. Layers of abstraction may ease certain tasks, but also require additional learning (the language and the framework). Worse is abstraction on top of abstraction! This is a natural result of the midset that software must always be added to and built upon. Not only do we build the layers on top of layers with the tools. We build layers on top of layers IN THE TOOLS.

There's a lot going on here and it's hard to properly talk about it all at once so I'm going to try to discuss some pieces and hope I don't lose an aggregate meaning in the process.

I see a few key points in what you said that I want to respond to in particular.

> I am sorry for how they feel. I am not sorry for what I said.

You don't have to be sorry for what you said to be sorry for offending or hurting the person. You can stand by what you said entirely while still being sorry that what you said hurt them. Saying "I'm sorry I said something that offended you" doesn't mean you're retracting your words but it does mean that you are saddened for having caused the other party pain, even if you don't think their pain is rational.

> but that doesn't change the fact that your outrage is [...] totally your fault

If you're concerned about "fault" in this case, I'm not really convinced you do feel bad. "I'm sorry I said something that offended you" isn't "I'm a terrible person who is totally in the wrong"; it's "I regret that I did something that resulted in you being hurt." If you stand entirely by what you said it might even mean something like "I wish it were possible to go back and time and restate that in a way that would achieve what I intended without hurting you."

> "I'm sorry" means I feel bad about something and I don't want to do it again

Ultimately, I think this is what it's all about. "I'm sorry you were offended" is (at its absolute best) "I feel bad about you being offended"; "I'm sorry I offended you" is "I feel bad about you being offended and I don't want to do it again."

oh dear, that brings back so many memories. however, for modern day optimizations with millions of primitives, kmaps are totally unfeasible. binary-decision-diagrams aka BDD, no not the other one ;), are the ones which makes things somewhat reasonable.

Hey everyone,

Sorry about this. When I used the term fraternity, I didn’t think of it as male term (I was briefly in a co-ed frat in college w/ 70% women). Oops! I see that this was a terrible slip up! Apologize for terrible word choice.

Basically I enjoy events and building communities (inclusive ones!), and I wanted to throw more and create some sort of social club / support group. Appreciate you bringing this up so I can change the messaging to be more inclusive.
If the uniqueness is 'being cheaper' than Amazon then this story is not going to end well. I believe that this is a terrible way to start a business. And I would bet that they do not have the efficiencies of Amazon's scale so they are probably riding on super thin margins - there's a lot of catch up to do. But again, maybe the market is big enough to sustain another player...

I'm not sure if I'm mistaken, but I think the hardware guys get to have MESI because they get to assume their "network", the circuit, is infallible.

You can build MESI on paxos, if you wanted. Although I think you'd be layering abstractions unnecessarily unless you have a specific use case.

I'd have to think about it but perhaps there's a cache-coherent data centre scale "processor", with awful non-uniform memory access performance, sprouting random processor hotplug events, waiting to be built.

Who knows? Probably somebody inside Google is working on this very thing a we speak...
> Note how any sous-vide recipe ends with cooking the exterior in a pan for extra deliciousness

More correctly, I'd say that many sous-vide recipes end with searing the exterior in a pan for extra deliciousness. The food is already cooked, assuming you are post-searing. This of course gives you that maillard reaction goodness.

Having said that, I took a quick look at your links. A few comments.

- Non-stick pans aren't so non-stick after a while. How does your pan hold up?

- Lightweight, non-stick pans are poor for searing. I'm guessing that I'd need a second pan for that? Related to this are those times you actually want those crispy burned on bits for a follow-on sauce of some kind.
Chips today have thermal clock rate scaling. Thermal control must be explicitly disabled to not get clock rate scaling.

> He's 8, spent one year in shelter since everytime someone entered room he was hiding, so no one took him.

Yeah. As you're obviously aware, this cat will require extensive and persistent training. Older animals that are surrendered to a shelter are not-infrequently difficult to train or deal with.

People who are -for whatever reason- unable to properly train their animal will often surrender their poorly-socialized and poorly-trained creature to a shelter, where it becomes someone else's problem. It kinda sounds like you ended up with one of those kitties.

Anyway. Do you have a cat tree or similar carpeted furniture that is -explicitly- for the cat to claw, chew, and otherwise demolish? If you don't, you definitely should get one or more such items. They're kinda pricey, but:

1) Cats with claws are going to scratch things. It's what they do, it's impossible to stop, and it pleases them to scratch things.

2) Cat trees/furniture are almost always less expensive than nice human furniture. :)

For our cats, occasionally spreading catnip on new cat furniture and encouraging them when they scratched it rather than the human furniture was quite enough to make them stop scratching couches and the like. (You might go so far as to scratch the cat furniture with your hands in view of your cat while making whatever noises of approval you make when the cat does something good.)

Once a cat gets it into its head that that cat furniture is its furniture, you don't need to go to great lengths to convince the cat to scratch on the new furniture when it inevitably becomes time to replace the worn-out stuff.

Cat vomit is an unavoidable part of cat ownership. If the cat vomit doesn't nearly always contain a hairball, it's entirely possible that the cat's food doesn't agree with its digestive system. As our cats aged, food that was once perfectly acceptable started to disagree with them, and we went through a multi-month search to find foods that agreed with them.

Sadly, I have no advice for the out-of-litterbox shitting and pissing. I've never had to box train an old cat. :( If a cat is unhappy or angry, it may choose to fail to use its litterbox. So, the problem could be more than just the wrong type of litter. But -really- I have no freaking clue. :(

Best of luck with your cat. I do hope that you can figure out what he needs to be happy, comfortable, and keep all his shit contained in his shitbox. :)

I agree but I still know businesses that use Windows 95 machines and Wordperfect 6.0 for their business stuff.

I know a lot of businesses still use DOS or OS/2 and very old PCs because they don't trust Windows.

I would get offers to volunteer for non-profits that still use old PCs with older operating systems on them and they need help fixing them or maintaining them.

There are a lot of third world nations using old surplus PCs because they cannot afford anything else. So they get our leftovers.

For example in Thailand they still use Windows XP, a pirated version but they put it on every PC. They have a skin for it that looks like Vista but it is still XP SP3. A copy of legit Windows is too expensive so they used the pirated XP because they can buy it on the streets for $1 due to a lax copyright law.
That's one of my favorites too! Good to know. :-)

AVA author here. Not ignored, just not implemented yet. AVA is still in its infancy and we're prioritizing getting the core settled first.

I used to believe that we should put people to useful work instead of warehousing them in jails to rot. Then people on HN explained to me how it was tried in the US and it created perverse incentives, giving jail wardens tremendous powers of blackmailing locals into doing their bidding at the threat of deploying free work force in their industry (e.g. cutting down trees) and driving the locals out of business.

This stuff is hard to get right.
The race conditions are not really apparent on Karnaugh maps. They appear once you understand there are no single pair of logic gates in the world that are exactly equal. Every logic gate is slightly slower or faster than the others, even in the same chip. This leads to every level change to be discrete in time, and never exactly aligned with others, which leads to glitches.

Silly example:
Let's imagine we are implementing the logic operation A OR (NOT A), which should be 1 always. We implement it as an OR gate with two inputs. On the first input we put A through a buffer. On the second input we put A through a NOT gate. Now let's switch A from 0 to 1. One of these two sequences of events will happen:

Sequence 1:

0. Nothing has happened yet. The OR gate has 0,1 on its inputs. Output=1.

1. The buffer sets its output to 1. The OR gate has 1,1 on its inputs. Output=1.

2. The NOT gate sets its output to 0. The OR gate has 1,0 on its inputs. Output=1

During all the sequence the output has been 1, so everything is fine.

Sequence 2:

0. Nothing has happened yet. The OR gate has 0,1 on its inputs. Output=1.

1. The NOT gate sets its output to 0. The OR gate has 0,0 on its inputs. Output=0

2. The buffer sets its output to 1. The OR gate has 1,0 on its inputs. Output=1.

Did you see it? During a split-second the output was 0, even though theoretically it should have been 1 all the time. That's your glitch.

If your system is synchronous, it means it has a clock, which means the system ignores everything that happens between clock ticks. If your ticks are sufficiently large (as it should be), the glitches will happen before the next tick. So your system will "stabilize" into the right output before the next tick, and everything is fine. But if your system doesn't use a clock, these glitches will be propagated to other parts, causing trouble all over the place.

Firefox created the revolution of "better browsers"! Google was smart enough to have market their own browser by having themselves be the default search on it. Once you land on Google, the "install Chrome for a better experience" slowly had people move to it.
