I think Twitter is going to do it. I agree with his tweet:

> Given how much the best users of twitter hate the idea of a 10k char limit for tweets, it will definitely happen.
:(

So as long as it's going to do it, can I request that it support Markdown? Medium doesn't really support it other than through an API.
Simple solution is to have blind and double blind reviews. People write papers not only for the greater good but also to improve their careers and profiles. Because thats the only way to get more funding to do more work.

By mandating blind reviews, the bias can be removed easily.

There are many who give good/bad reviews just by looking at the authors names, not everyone of course.

I am not sure why blind reviews are not mandatory by now

I think it's very risky to do something like that with someone else's words without consulting them.

Imagine a satirical tweet with exactly the wrong "unnecessary" sentence removed. Suddenly your life is ruined because you said something that makes people angry.
I think a better yardstick would be comparison of fines for similar offenses.
Hi OP, nice writeup! I hope my comment wasn't construed as dismissing the work, just a criticism of one small part.

It sounds like that wouldn't have been a factor, except for the cap you seem to have discovered on Amazon that you called out.

My only suggestion then is you may want to make it explicit that you ran the benchmarks from a single instance.

That's incredibly poor handling by linode, it also quite possibly resulted in many other systems being compromised via the same route or a similar one in the meantime.
I can completely relate to the first two points: I shifted from my own office to working remotely (same job, same colleagues, which makes it a nice experiment) and I find it no easier to do the actual job ,although it's a lot easier to fit 8h of work into the day without the commute.

I do miss physical meetings. Not "meetings" but discussions about work problems happening at the coffee machine. You know how you describe a problem to a coworker at the coffee machine and often figure it out as you talk, before you even get an answer? That doesn't happen to me at home. I can explain to a rubber duck but it just stares at me and the insight never comes (neither from it nor from me).

I also feel "invisible" at times, which I'm sure is partly just perceived, but that doesn't help.

I think the ideal setup is working from home 3-4 days a week, and commuting 1-2 days. As for the office itself, I think open/cube/office is mostly a matter of taste. Offices with doors that open to a shared space is great, did that a long time with good results. If you commute 1 day a week just to get social, open plan is fine (or even better because more social).
1. It's possible, however very unlikely, especially given what we've seen so far.

2. It very much is, as inequality limits what sectors of the population can grow.

4. PG wouldn't be in a position to have that comparison made if it wasn't for the services given by the State. Unless you're trying to say that he would have been just as successful growing up in the middle of Somalia.

Thanks! Not at all, it's a great point and something I didn't realize would play into the equation.
If such a limit exists, it would not have been hit on such a small benchmark. However, I am unaware of any such limit and it has never been raised in any discussion I have had with them. I am responsible for a large compute and data storage platform backed by S3.

Is this a limit that is hit anywhere near the 150GB discussed in this article, or is it something that you hit only if you are Netflix? We have TB in S3 and have not observed any limit other than EC2 instance bandwidth.

No, Japan is far from being just another normal country, according to Dr 'Debito Arudou-有道 出人'[1][2] a naturalized Japanese and also a writer, blogger, and human rights activist, Japan is one of the most xenophobic, racist and bigoted countries in the world.

This study isn't surprising, I'm unsure what you think it implies. Indeed IQ researchers have been wary themselves and known about motivational effects for decades, along with many other objections to testing like cultural bias and the like that in good modern research are all accounted for -- obviously if I sleep during a test I'll score very low, but if I'm actually awake and care I can increase my score by a huge factor. IQ isn't a perfect correlate, but it's common to reason as if it alone has a predictive power of 0.4-0.6 for various important things, that is stronger than any other single factor we know about. When you add in Conscientiousness (the big five traits being the other contender for psychology's crown jewel, I think), which is about grit, intrinsic motivation, and the like, together with IQ (two factors now, not just one), you get predictive powers of 0.7 to educational success. I would wager that the differences seen in the paper cited by your article are almost entirely accounted for by Conscientiousness, but from the abstract (don't have the full paper) it looks like that was not controlled for at all.

UWB was a wonderful technology and claimed successful tests and was open to developers. So was WiMAX (which actually did work). Where are they now?

Almost all the TI low-power RF stuff is real. Anything LoraWAN claims could have been done with these kinds of TI chips:
http://www.ti.com/product/cc1125

So, why hasn't it? Mostly because these frequencies need big external antennas. TI has a very nice whitepaper about trying to create integrated PCB antennas for these lower frequencies and how much power you lose (answer--a whole lot). I don't think people are going to be very happy strapping a 6 inch whip antenna onto their tiny LED light.

And, these TI chips actually can run off a coin cell. Unlike the loraWAN stuff which flags Tx power consumption as up to 100mA. Coin cells are still ruled out.

That's not an improvement over, well, anything.

And, I note that Microchip is claiming to be shipping dev kits sometime this quarter. This is Microchip. I won't hold my breath, and I still mark this as vapor.
When I see things like "data set size 150GB" and "1000 CPUS" I just naturally assume they are all in memory and never come from disk :-)

modal logic is an equally valid way to get at a lot of the quandaries associated with bayesian ideas.

bayes' thm by itself is totally not a "big deal." the idea that every probability has an associated prior, even if it's not explicitly written in the notation (so think "prior of prior") is an interesting attempt to cope with uncertainty in a rigorous way.

i do agree that in some places in the sciences, while "the numbers don't lie," the stats can be misleading. still, i can understand why it's useful to make some statements with statistics in order to quickly arrive at some first-order approximations.

App to get your ex back even if you cheated
Should be easy to implement, as the plate number is taken, so cross-reference that to make and model, cross-reference that to the book value. A mobile app for government ticket writers could be prototyped in a weekend with access to the right databases (I guess you really just need the DMV data, then cross-reference to Edmunds or something).

As for the proposal, I'd be for it. I make enough that under some circumstances I very well might just pay the $35 than drive around looking for a parking space. When I am in a car, though, it's usually in our ten year old Scion that cost $20K brand new, so I don't know that would it would be such a disincentive for me (and my illegal parking is a rare occurrence regardless, and usually by accident), but might work for the general case.

Hi,

A few words about the term Native American Indian.

If you google Native Americans, you come up with the following: “a member of any of the indigenous peoples of the Americas.” The same with the term American Indian.

The operative word is “indigenous”. Also, many members will identify themselves as the name of their specific Tribe or Nation (e.g., Cherokee, Mohawk, Navajo etc.) rather than say “I’m American Indian.” We are all Americans.

In creating this site as an ongoing resource there was a need for a term that identified all indigenous peoples. The term Native American Indians works in this instance.
Also,this is an ongoing process so Tribes will be added on a continuing basis.

Thanks for the feedback and ideas (especially the maps) and I hope some of you find the material useful.

Considering the standard deviation for IQ is 15 points, I wouldn't drink an extra glass of water per day for another 3-4 IQ points, let alone play a training game for any extended amount of time. 3-4 points is statistically meaningless.

I was just thinking my parents would love this game as Klondike and FreeCell are pretty much bare requirements when they buy a new computer or when I set one up for them. And your game works great, looks good and has all these variants. Except... They wouldn't have a clue which one to pick!

I don't know what would be the best way to show case the games for selecting them. A carousel showing an animation with each of them? Or a preview split screen that shows that animation when you hover on one? Or directly small animations for each button?

No clue, but if you can find a way to make it easier (and to then pin your "favorite" games alongside the "popular" picks) you've got yourself a super winner.

Ultimate Guide for Evolving Architectures
Quarrel? Here, let me clarify. A PRNG has state with a certain amount of potential entropy, call this X. Uniformly shuffling a deck of cards requires a certain amount of entropy, Y. If X > Y then theoretically you can generate all possible shufflings with your PRNG, assuming it's seeded properly. If X < Y, then you can't.

The key difference is that your PRNG could be cryptographically secure even though X < Y. It turns out that Y ≈ 226 bits, and so it's plausible that your cryptographically secure RNG would have X = 128 bits, for example, even though I'd typically expect a larger number.

People often conflate entropy with security. A random number source could have high amounts of entropy and be insecure, while a random number source with less entropy could be very secure. Or let me put it this way: entropy is necessary but not sufficient for security.
Unless they're going to create some sort of limit on how much Twitter mobs can dogpile people, doxx them, and call their employers to get them fired, no thanks. You'd have to be crazy to post on Twitter and take those risks, no matter how anodyne you think you're being in your tweets.

This made me laugh really hard. What a positive twist on the fact that the algorithm is clearly a WIP.
I really am not a fan of the hyperminimalistic "we can do anything trust us!" landing pages that every text-for-personal-assistant seems to think is brilliant marketing copy.

There are examples of Magic+ requests, but no real-world examples of outcomes and whether the request was filled successfully to the customer's satisfaction.

Relatedly, the $100/hr is suspicious because it's impossible to audit the time spent by the assistant. (Contrast with flat fees stated upfront from the normal service.)

Can you quote the piece where they mention RPS per account limit because I cannot find it.
>Is your argument anything other than "they got money and I want the government to take some!"

I wonder what the reaction would be if the government one day decided that to make higher education affordable for everyone, they would tax the money that parents who can afford it give their children to go to college.

The children didn't do anything except have parents who can pay for their college. Why shouldn't we take that money and give it to someone who can't afford college?

If you eliminate the education tax credit college students get, everyone would be up in arms.

> 1. Intelligence can be created, because there is nothing "special"/"magical" about humans, and our intelligence was eventually created.

Human intelligence evolved through a (very long!) series of natural processes, to the best of my knowledge. To say it was "created" implies something closer to a religious or philosophical opinion, rather than something supported by science.

> 2. At some point, humanity will create an "artificial general intelligence". (Since we'll just keep improving science and technology, and there's no fundamental reason why this won't eventually allow us to create an intelligence.

This is hugely debatable. Why is AGI inevitable? Even given great amounts of computing resources, a artificial general intelligence does not just automatically appear, it must somehow be designed and programmed. Fields like computer vision have grown tremendously using techniques like deep learning, but there really isn't any evidence that I know of that a general intelligence is any closer than it was 20 years ago.

I don't follow the hype and when I was an active user I would get frustrated with my tweet limiting to so few characters.

here is what I had to do:

1. write tweet, fuck, over limit

2. abbrev words, fuck still low on limit

3. remove spaces, fuck still low on limit

4. remove words and punctuations, thinking "fuck so this is what search engine feels like when one stems words", not my tweet is so not English

5. fuck still over limit or incomplete, tweet the first thought, comment on the new tweet with the rest of my story.

But why this model? FB has a limit few thousands char limits for status but in practice, only few lines will ever written on most FB statuses. People who manage to write a complete story on FB status have something meaningful to write about.
