Sure, but that claim was made in the context of deep-learning networks. He went to work for an AI company, and realized that he knew -- from reading cutting-edge academic papers -- as much as the forefront of the field. He wasn't claiming to know everything there is to know in general, or even in software development, just that he can understand and implement machine learning with the best of them. Personally, I don't doubt that claim.
Hah, the way you phrase that makes me wonder what you found.

Right now really just web apps. Content sites are doable, and I know people running networks, but it's not possible to do profitably without clickbaiting, low-quality mass-produced content, and other greyhat techniques I don't particularly like.

I think it's fair to show you an ad if I save you 30 seconds to a minute of time. Creating garbage content slideshows with writers from the 3rd world countries to rack up pageviews is one step over the line for me...

Simple apps are great because they have utility (so google always approves your tag), and honestly the doubleclick exchange isn't so bad -- with enough simple single-page apps, it accrues pretty quickly.
But this is a fundamental problem: The learning approach might need 100s of examples of drivers reacting to a bicycle on a sidewalk while turning right into a parking lot to get the right training input. Or perhaps it can learn from examples of bicycles and sidewalks and driveways to do the right thing. The point is, there are millions of edge cases, so getting examples of them all for training or verification is a very large task. The alternative is to build a more general world model where it's possible to work from the other direction and gain confidence that yes, the car senses all other obstacles correctly, and yes, it has algorithms that attempt to eliminate collisions in any circumstances. That's a fairly different approach, which ends up being much heavier in terms of effort and investment.
This. I have given up on talking to "seed stage" VCs a while ago. Apparently their definition of "early stage" is different than mine - it is a total waste of time.
So they haven't rejected the null hypothesis yet, and they're still getting themselves written-up in the New York Times?
To build on and adjust that: you actually want to compare how vocal the people like that are.

> This also means that it is expensive to run this service, you can only do so much server side rendering per server,

Of course there is a limit but for the personal use it should not be a issue, for the enterprise use it still should not be issue because it has caching mechanism and server only renders changing tiles, and a 16 core machine easily can handle hundreds of simultaneous users which is cheaper to operate than buying license for the any other office suite per user and employing a IT worker to install that office suites and maintain company wide document sharing.

> This ownCloud service is bound to stay smallish until they embrace a true client side rendering approach.

there is already client side rendering solution in ownCloud called Documents and uses webodf, but it only satisfactory for the simple needs.
There are restrictions on short-term rentals and on the places you can build hotels in virtually all cities precisely because the assumption you are making here about the impact of hotel tenants is faulty.

I'm not sure why I'm meant to care that there are people that use Airbnb for long-term living arrangements. The modal Airbnb renter does not do that.

> 1 char of password length === 8 bits of entropy

Oh hell no. https://xkcd.com/936/

The "little obscure tricks" to increase the entropy of a password do NOT work well with human memory. If your template is "Uncommon Word + Emoji + 5 tweaks", your entropy is 50,000 (the uncommon word) x (number of Emojis) x 5 * 8 (there are roughly 8 ways to "tweak" a word).

There are no more than 500 Emojis that people use. You're not getting much entropy by choosing one. Now if you start choosing obscure Chinese words and Arabic symbols, maybe you'd be getting somewhere (It requires mastery of multiple languages to really exercise that UTF-8 dataset).

But honestly, an English-speaker will get far more entropy by just adding two more common words (top 5000) to their password. A new common word is worth a hell of a lot more than an Emoji. A phrase of 8 words (ie a sentence) is also very easy to memorize and contains a ton of entropy as well.

Even a simple sentence is impossible to brute force. The following sentence has probably never been said in the history of humanity:

"My long password to gmail.com is a passphrase, the current sentence that I just typed, lulz!"

That sentence is virtually unhackable and easy as heck to memorize. Sure, the entropy is only a few bits per character, but the length makes it better. And since it uses common letters, it is extremely quick to type.

So unless you plan on learning a new language to hit those obscure Unicode symbols, I think its best to just stick with what your brain is already wired to memorize: Words. Common English Words.
Are you trying to say that reversing their decision was a mistake?
I think that balancing plot and gameplay segments has been a problem with the series as far back as the second entry - I seem to recall there being a half-hour long, unskippable cinematic fairly early on in that game. And the plot itself is kind of a mess, which sapped a lot of my motivation to commit to the series.
Knowledge can be captured in wikis, notes, documents, videos, audio, and even photos. Our smartphone/smartwatch/web apps allow you to access any of the knowledge using a single, easy to use interface - voice. Basically, you tag content with a voice command (e.g. "to do list" or "show me the video on how to do xyz") then, whenever you need to retrieve the knowledge, just speak the command. Voice commands can be shared and the apps are all free.

> A phonetic [spelling system] really is a great advance. Words can be looked up in a dictionary. Where are icons looked up (especially if they are different on every system due to copyrights)?

Require that most icons include a recognizable component for indexing purposes, and assign an arbitrary ordering to those components. In fact, that's what we do with letters too -- it's just that the number of letters is small.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangxi_radical#Table_of_radica...

To be fair, the chinese writing system is also phonetic. The problem isn't that phonetics aren't represented; they are. The problem is that a lot of additional information is also represented.
On the "cheap" relatively. The sensor he uses on the top of the car alone costs $8000. If you want to do it right, you'd also need a really nice IMU system to... I'm not sure what he's using but they can get very pricey.
In Bellevue, WA there is a new and used bookstore adjacent to a food court that is packed all day every day. There's a starbucks nearby and tons of seating, and its in a mall where people bring their kids. People come to work, read or just get out of the house all the time.

Its the opposite of big box store. The biggest problem with malls is there's really almost nowhere to hang out. Community spaces seem really lax in the US, especially in the suburbs - I think thats why the millennial are flocking to the city.
My B&N had this "Branded Solutions Food Service" coffee. It was not a good experience. They didn't have the usual Starbucks coffees and it wasn't even hot.

It's down to the retailer if they want you on their property, and that's how it should be.

If they opt for a stricter system (which would cover the edge cases you describe) that loses them some genuine custom, that's their loss.

The target is of course persistent offenders, not the kind you mention.
I would be interested in seeing how it compares to built-in touch screen technology. It seems like this product's focus is on retrofitting, whereas current laptop/screen manufacturers may get better performance or resolution or reduced overall costs using existing technologies.
I read your larger comment and I don't agree with most of what you're saying as a generalization.

This though:

> Until it's distilled to common practice, people shouldn't really touch it with a bargepole.

I can agree with. Most research if it's not done in the clinic and proven, has parameters so specific that it is impossible to apply to a single member of a population without that member having the exact parameters that the original research had.

Even then, the original research was probably done on some animal and not a human.

Then we do translational testing/research which gets done on a more human like animal and if we're lucky some human samples (given a disease). Then the clinical trials etc.

Though a review of the current literature can be beneficial. But you'd still need to have training to be able to interpret what you're reading.
And it's almost completely survivorship bias.

The hundreds of thousands of people who did not get stronger through their struggles are not represented, because they are not here to present themselves.

The actual stats are pretty clear in that richer kids do better and are happier as adults than poor kids.
Mostly agreeing, but your numbers on embryo selection assume we have a reliable model for predicting IQ from genome, which AFAIK we don't have. How much of the variance of the IQ can we currently explain out of a genome?
I typed the vertical bar |, not the letter I.

But this just goes to my point. I am a college educated man, and have worked in tech for 40 years. Yet I did not know those symbols were supposed to be "1" and "0" until I was told. (None that I've seen looked like "1", which I would have recognized as "one", they all looked like "|".)

Even getting past that, how would someone who is illiterate implicitly know that "1" and "0" represent an electrical engineer's view of digital circuitry?

I don't grok the thought process behind these symbols. Either that, or I'm a retard. (The Apple salesman had no explanation, either, as to why icons were better. He just thought it was trivially obvious, and was baffled that we didn't immediately "get it".)
> If you want to live in a future where you can go to attractive stores and look at physical items, you have to be willing to help support those stores.

If you want to live in a future where you can go to attractive stores and look at physical items, a sufficient number of other people must be willing to help support those stores. Your choice to do so or not has a very small impact on the viability of the model, and a much larger impact on your own realized utility, making it a classic tragedy of the commons situation where the rational thing for each individual to do is defect (using the store as showroom and buying by discount online where available), but the consequence of each individual doing the rational thing is the collapse of the common system which provides value.
You seem very certain about this, but I don't think you've done much research on it.

Not only do boilerplate leases include "quiet enjoyment" clauses that contractually bind landlords into ensuring that tenants aren't disruptive, but state laws also include implied covenants of quiet enjoyment, meaning that there are large areas where it doesn't even matter if you edit that out of your lease.

A landlord that fails to ensure quiet enjoyment can be sued by their tenants.
Reminds me of the digital/interactive whiteboard technology from last decade.

Sorry, I didn't write precisely and didn't mean to imply that Chinese didn't have similar sorts of stress/tone things as English. Definitely, both languages imply a lot based on how you speak a word. I really just meant to compare the relatively easy business of tones-as-pronunciation, as Mandarin has, with the much more difficult and complicated business of tones-as-extra-implications, which Mandarin, English, and probably every other language has.

Faking input is how most people test their buggy, crappy software. It rarely matches reality.
> I'm not sure it's possible to move a project using Babel 5, async/await, generators and react to upgrade to Babel 6. I've spent hours on it.

Well, you're actually right. Babel 6 has had a lot of problems, particularly with async functions, but they are slowly being worked out. I think it's pretty clear at this point that it was released too early, and they really need smoke tests to prevent this kind of problem in future. If you've already built a significant project using Babel 5, definitely consider holding off the upgrade for another month or two.
Of course, but some representative made the motion to include the text of the CISA bill part of the Omnibus bill, that should be on the record somewhere.
Etherpad (http://etherpad.org) is an OSS cloud document editor app.
It has a pretty reasonable set of formatting, revision, and
import/export options out of the box, and also a large set of plugins
(http://static.etherpad.org/plugins.html). Supported import formats are
plain, doc, docx, odt, rtf, and html.

There's a demo on the homepage that runs on Sandstorm.io, so you can
very easily self-host or use managed hosting via the Sandstorm framework (https://sandstorm.io).

EtherCalc (https://ethercalc.net/, not related to Etherpad) is an OSS
cloud spreadsheet app. Demo on homepage, also available on Sandstorm.

Sandstorm has several other office/productivity apps, and in my
opinion, is the clearest route to an effective OSS cloud office suite.
I am hopeful for LO Online, but tile-based rendering seems like a bad
choice. I have no doubt it will be packaged for Sandstorm at some
point, but Etherpad is looking much better as of now.

Bullshit.

It's a nice dream, but the idea of AI and robots doing dishes, picking strawberries, washing cars, cooking meals will never happen.

The best AI cannot beat a population of Mexicans who are basically the glue that holds out modern society together.

If you wanted to see how the U.S. Will completely come to a screeching halt, it would be if the rapture took place and only claimed all Mexicans.

Our entire way of life depends on them. AI will never replace them.

I too have switched from Node.js to Go in my own projects. However, Node.js (and Angular 1.x) still pay the bills. I tried to convince my previous company to write some of their microservices in Go but it was a hard sell. In fact, I introduced a minor piece of go code that would only run once and politics exploded. I was asked to rewrite it in Node.js.

Obviously, I'm not longer with that company, but still writing Node in the day job. As you mention, packages have minor updates with breaking changes, so if you don't shrinkwrap things explode. There is a huge number of JS packages that do a lot of interesting things but the average quality leaves a lot to be desired.

I've found people get something working very quickly with Node.js but then after a year...or three it's very hard to maintain the Node.js system. Especially when the original author is no longer on the team. This is the problem TypeScript tries to solve, and TypeScript is really nice in my opinion...but its 2015 and my computer has four cores and 4 virtual cores. Languages that do not enable developers to easily take advantage of these cores are not interesting and not something I want to invest too much time in for fear they are out of favor in the next few years when cores increase even more...

Go has this solved, but people don't quite trust Google yet. For one, they seem to have a history abandoning things (or completely rewriting from scratch them like Angular 2). Go is missing a few needed features that are preventing more wide spread adoption (things like better package management), but these features are not things that the core team is prioritizing at this time.
how do you tell that they use Angular?
Great post. This reminds me of a New Yorker article, Groupthink, from a couple of years ago[0]. Essentially, disagreement fosters creativity, not brainstorming platitudes like 'there are no wrong ideas'.

An excerpt:

...dissent stimulates new ideas because it encourages
us to engage more fully with the work of others and to
reassess our viewpoints. “There’s this Pollyannaish
notion that the most important thing to do when working
together is stay positive and get along, to not hurt
anyone’s feelings,” she says. “Well, that’s just wrong.
Maybe debate is going to be less pleasant, but it will
always be more productive. True creativity requires
some trade-offs.”

The article is terrific and I'm mentally made note of 3 techniques that I've used over the past few years:

1. Thinking on your own can lead to more solutions than thinking in a group.

2. Dissent and constraints stimulate creativity.

3. Insane, off-the-wall, unproductive ideas can stimulate creativity in everyone else.

Agreed. I can appreciate people who can go heads down and get things done. Where it falls apart for me is when those people get deified--or deify themselves, like that last quote demonstrates. And when they demonstrate an unwillingness to collaborate.
There are far more, in fact. Each of these collaborations have around 3000 members, but there are also other experiments (LHCb, ALICE are the two big ones but there are some smaller ones too) and then there is also the team of accelerator physicists that operate the LHC.

All in all I think it is closer to 10000.
Plus a higher performance-per-dollar ratio. If you need the best single-card-performance nVidia is probably still the best for most things (unless you're mining litecoin) but you can always buy 2 AMD cards and use them together for less money and higher performance than the single nVidia.
I agree. You cannot fake good nature and attitude during all day interviews. At least, I cannot. Soft skills and communication are really important in any team environment.

But, how would one go about determining whether someone is a quick learner? That beats me.
>How can you justify a higher price in store when you have a lower price online and your competitor has a lower price and same day delivery?

The fact that you bothered to go to the store when you could have just browsed their on-line catalog from your home is enough justification, IMO.

A lower price online is justified because there is less overhead.
Who is the credentialing agent for your name? Your names are generally the things people call you, the things you respond to and the things you recognize as legitimately referring to yourself. When someone tells to their name, they are not generally trying to convey what their canonical identifier is in some external agency's database is.

The reality is that it is impossible for everyone to be an expert in everything. At some point, certain fields, medicine and finance for example, become so complex that it is impossible for a lay-person to make an informed decision. Historically, when lay-people are given the freedom to "use their money however they want" within these fields, hucksters and frauds have quite successfully conned them because it is impossible for a lay-person to tell the difference between a legitimate opportunity and a scam; they don't have the expertise, experience, and even the time to perform the due-diligence needed to make an informed decision. While these regulations are certainly a blunt instrument, and they do prevent a very small segment of the lay-population who could make an informed decision from doing so, the alternative is far worse.
