Lest anyone skimming the headline misses it, the point here isn't that these scientists couldn't correctly explain a p-value. The scientists here all could. It's that they couldn't explain it in a way that made intuitive sense to anyone. So, rather than being a dig at scientists, I think the points here are:

1. p-values are intrinsically none-too-intuitive.

2. What p-values tell us isn't necessarily that interesting.

Yes, it may mean doing more work but that's the trade off here for "instant on". It's either always on, you wait, or it guesses when you're going to use it and you accept there are a few false positives.
Why Your Content Is Not Receiving the Traffic It Deserves
Hey, I'm one of the founders. We built SpudPress because we felt that there was room for a different static-site approach.

Most other static site generators are awesome, but they require you to use cumbersome command line tools. SpudPress uses WordPress (which 25% of all websites are already running[1]) and turns it into a pain-free static site generator.

We take care of all the edge cases and just generate and host a static site for you so you can take advantage of all the benefits (high scalability, affordable hosting, no more server-side security vulnerability worries, etc.)

Some of this slide is a bit outdated by now.

Using Object.seal, Object.freeze and Object.defineProperty with writable, enumerable, configurable not set to true does not cause object named properties convertion to dictionary mode. However they still convert elements storage (one containing properties with names "0", "1", etc) to dictionary mode.

Similary accessors don't cause object properties storage conversion to dictionary mode unless there is a transition clash.

var obj = {};
obj.__defineGetter__("foo", function () { return 0; })
print(%HasFastProperties(obj)); // => true

var obj = {};
obj.__defineGetter__("foo", function () { return 0; }) // Transition clash
print(%HasFastProperties(obj)); // => false

Nothing changed with respect to `delete obj.foo`: this always converts named properties storage conversion to dictionary mode. However `delete arr[index]` doesn't (at least for arrays that were not in slow mode already), rules for objects depend on the amount of holes in the elements part of the object.

I agree re: speed. In my experience, speed doesn't matter until it does: I don't care about 650ms vs. 700ms, but once it passes the threshold of me alt-tabbing waiting for blog/public/ to regenerate and I lose focus, it becomes near-unbearable.

(This probably applies to all build processes, not just static site generation.)
You can embed parameters in the front matter, then pull that data back out in the templates, but I haven't actually done this see:

Not sure this is an aside or not, but I see a lot of big bank versus credit union in the comments, and that's just not really the case here in my opinion. I work for a large regional bank and I see a lot of similarities in this story to my own company, especially in the number of audits being requested and the rules they are having to follow (Bitcoin for one). I'll agree that a large part of the rules we have in place are self inflicted: some we asked for and some we caused in the aftermath of the financial crisis. These constant audits we've been faced with since the 2008 time period just chew up enormous amounts of time that we could better spend with innovattion and making the customer experience better overall. It's really unfortunate that his idea of creating a financial institution with real innovation is being stopped by bureaucracy that is probably 80℅ unnecessary regulation.

> What p-values tell us isn't necessarily that interesting.

The problem is that the concept sounds more important than it is if you don't understand it. This is a bad failure state.

The issue is that the probability of some phenomena happening by chance is mostly orthogonal to the probability of that phenomena being true or whatever, but this seems outside the ability of most people to grasp.
Its kinda a big deal. I have an account with the Credit Union at my university in the Midwest and now I live in Texas. If they had a better online banking presence I would ABSOLUTELY keep my money with them. But their presence on the web is sooo incredibly dated: https://www.uiecu.org/ASP/home.asp. (Its not just the UI and the draconic security measures; I fear that they don't have the right checks in place to prevent online fraud).

Meanwhile, Chase has a nice Android app which gives me instant information about all my transactions. They detect fraudulent transactions immediately. Auto-Pay for bills. Convenience and security wins.

Since this is all anecdotal experience: there was a period of time between jobs when they sneakily charged me $5 per month when I did not make a deposit in my checking account. So I do see the evil aspect is there.

Doesn't help when many of the big tech companies -- that other companies are influenced by and model their cultural and corporate infrastructure on -- have decided they absolutely HAVE to have in person spontaneous communication because it might result in some random problem being solved or new idea that saves them millions of dollars, so no one can work remotely and they have to relocate to Silicon Valley or be fired.

Yahoo and Facebook and Reddit are a few companies I've seen announcements of new policies that have shunned remote work in the past few years.
From what I understand, p-values are typically used by frequentist method for verifying that the "prediction" seems correct. On the other hand, the Bayesian approach is to split the data into training and test sets, and verify how much of it holds.

Does this make sense? If the p-values are not very good at conveying "confidence in the prediction," is this another argument in favor of a more Bayesian approach to statistics? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Honest question: Why can't there just be non-profit banks?

We don't have non-profits deliver most services because they wouldn't be efficient and/or couldn't raise capital from investors. And once investor come in, their profits are taxed. But there's nothing that in-principally stops a charitable organization from opening a non-profit car repair shop which runs with no net profit.

If, for whatever reason, it's feasible for non-profit banks to get started and operate successfully, why would we not allow them? (Please put "because the legislators are bought-off"-type arguments aside. What are the reasons people give?)

Yes that can be true but not always true. Specially with aspirational or luxury brands where the premium prices are less a reflection of quality but rather a statement and signaling by the buyer.

I spent a few hours on sunday casually reading this:

http://jackschaedler.github.io/circles-sines-signals/index.h...

Which was an enjoyable primer if you are interested in DSP.
I wouldn't say "most places" -- after a recent trip to Europe (Ireland, England and France), the only place we couldn't use our "signature-only" card was a train ticket vending machine, every business we went to had a magnetic stripe reader and knew they had to use it when the card had no chip. (my wife's no-foreign-transaction-fee card had no chip, so we tried to use that one as much as possible)

In every case were I used a USA chip card (with no PIN), the card reader prompted for a signature, so it was no problem.

Though I really don't understand why USA issuers and merchants went with a chip-only system, seems like it would have been trivial to allow PIN too.

Though even Chip and PIN only fights a small portion of the fraud - every time I've experienced credit card fraud, it's been with internet purchases. Amex used to let me generate a temporary card number for each merchant, I used that all the time, but they dropped the service for some reason.
It absolutely is the reason, and was that way even before automatic transfers became common. I have left BoA three times, never having signed up as a customer. Every time I would move to a new bank, NCNB/Nationsbank/Bank of America would buy them and raise the fees. A few customers like me would leave, but enough would stay for the process to be profitable.

> to the comment below on 10% - there is a difference between 10% capacity and 10% neurons. The fact that most of our brain is physiologically participating while producing that little capacity most of the time in most of the people is exactly the low efficiency i was talking about.

And still no. Phrase it however you like, it's still wrong. You are not using just 10% of your brain in any manner or means, there is not some great untapped potential waiting to be turned on, your brain is not low efficiency.
I'm giving this one an upvote. You certainly don't need to know Qt, but when I recently asked a remote / nomad developer about finding C/C++ work, he also recommended learning Qt.

Mmm just for the record if you look at neuroscientific and cognitive science evidence it's actually a pretty safe bet that all of those marine creatures are sentient... intelligence and the capacity to feel are pretty separate.

We can't be absolutely sure that anyone except for ourselves suffer (not even other humans) because of the other minds problem, but essentially all the scientific evidence we have suggests that humans and other creatures are sentient if they have basic nervous systems and begin to display behaviors consistent with suffering.

Some of my sources: Studied neuro and cog sci myself, just chatted last night with a PhD candidate in neuro who agrees with me, have taken classes with the former longstanding editor of Brain and Behavioral Science who I believe would also agree. There are cog sci journals out there dedicated to this stuff.

In general, designers/manufacturers have long not paid sufficient attention to interactive modes. I've wasted way too much time and money over the years setting up PCs as media stations only to conclude yet again that the various wireless keyboards and pointing devices I had--combined with software designed for a keyboard/mouse/monitor experience--was just more trouble than it was worth. Traditional remotes on the other hand are also an incredible frustration whenever you need to do something other than a simple pre-defined function.

I tend to agree with you about voice control. Voice recognition/AI is finally starting to get good enough that it's a useful rather than just a frustrating control mechanism. The ready availability of rich touch interfaces (whether tablets or phones) is also a big win.
Their previous Dual GPU card was priced at 3000$ this isn't a consumer card, that's double the launch price of the 295x2 which was priced at 1400$ and received a 40% price cut within 3 months (considering that it was pretty much unavailable on the market until July/Aug where it already has been cut to below Titan Black prices you can say it's actual launch price was ~950$).
The normal GTX Titan cards which launch at 1000$ can barely be considered a consumer flagship cards, the Titan X was the "1st" one which was some what financially successful because like with the Titan Black they've dropped the "workstation/professional" features from the Core and released it as a premium Ti placeholder to appease early adopters until the yields are good enough that they do not have to cherry pick cores.
As far as GPU market goes there are 2 "flagship" products that the market actually cares about the 350-400$ enthusiast card, and the 600-700$ "flagship", both of them however sell several orders of magnitude less than the entry level 200-250$ gaming cards like the 750/760/850/860 or the 270/370 and 280/380.
If you still don't understand the difference then the 295x2 was released and positioned to be a competitive option against 700-900$ cards, just like the old NVIDIA 690 which was a 1000$ Dual GPU card.
You need to understand that the 690 was supposed to be the "top" of the line card for Nvidia at the time, and technically in some aspects it's still the most powerful single board card they've released to date (it can even beat the TitanZ in some benchmarks).
This was the card that Nvidia released as the definite gaming card, this was the card that Nvidia launched the "Geforce Exprience" on top of it, and this was the card that had more issues on launch since their FX series.
The card actually lost in gaming benchmarks to Nvidia's own 680 SLI in pretty much every case, it lost to the 680 which was clocked higher in games that didn't support SLI well, it could not support all of the new Geforce graphical features due to SLI compatibility and worse it lost to the 7970CF in most benchmarks.
That was pretty much the point where Nvidia it self said they will focus on single core performance and ensure that the primary numerical GTX series will be the one that will focus on real-world gaming performance, 2 years later the Titan series was released which is their "look at what we can do, now give us 3000$ please".
It's not about moving goal posts, its about perception and actual market presence.
Overheated Silicon Valley Is Headed for a Bust
> the banks would probably calculate that it would be cheaper and easier to manipulate the regulatory environment to inhibit credit unions than to compete on honest terms

Would? No such calculation is necessary because banks are a state-maintained cartel everywhere - the opportunity for fleecing the masses with those sneaky & outrageous charges is just too delightful to pass up.

If people actually had a cheaper and better alternative, no one would keep paying those outrageous charges, and that's why the credit union 'had to be' "regulated"[1] to death.

Ever wonder why all banks charge roughly the same fees?

[1] "Regulation" is quite a double-speakey word. If you regulate an electric current, you make sure it isn't too strong, and that's where the word gets its positive connotation.

But when a government "regulates" anything, it's basically just coercion. "No, you can't offer people this beneficial service. You can't charge less for transfers. You can't give your customers debit cards" and so on.

> The only way for this system to be fixed starts at the ballot box.

Do you think politicians all over the world don't know that every single person on earth would rather not get fleeced with outrageous fees?

They all do, of course, and as evidenced by banks still raping us six ways from Sunday, they don't care.

Take any societal problem you see. Is there real evidence to show that they care? Whatever they tell you to get elected doesn't count, by the way. How often do politicians keep their promises?

Why would you think the solution to any problem would start at the ballot box?

For procedural game textures this seems like it has potential.
Adapt this to output a feed-forward net running on a GPU that generates an infinite texture in any direction.

Eh, I'm always looking for and consuming longform content... I never have a backlog because I prefer searching for articles, then consuming them on the spot, with no effort of indexing. I guess this quickly becomes very hard to track down exactly what you have read in the past, but if a longform article is that forgettable, do you really want to read it again?

Good sources for longform: aeon.co, aldaily.com. longform.org has too much debris to bother with, IMO.
SVG is a complex format, but it's not that bad compared to other widely adopted standards. Just for comparison:

- SVG 1.1 - 826 pages (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/REC-SVG11-20110816.pdf)

- HTML 5 - 1156 pages (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/print.pdf)

- ODF 1.2 - 1217 pages (https://www.oasis-open.org/standards#opendocumentv1.2)

- PDF 1.7 - 1310 pages (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdf...)

SVG 2 spec is even smaller because it removes sections that are either duplicating other W3C standards (filters, styling) or not implemented by all major vendors (animations, fonts, path APIs).
