Hi HN,

This is Ray from CODING.
CODING is a China startup. https://Coding.net is a cloud development platform that enables developers do all the work in a browser. Also, CODING runs a marketplace (https://mart.coding.net) to help developers find matching software requirements and make the deal.We will be rolling out the English version of our site in this year, so stay tuned:)

At the time that was one of the greatest nonfiction pieces I had ever read about
I think we need people who have more empathy for others, have more patience, have more respect for fellow humans, animals and the environment in general. I feel working hard, intelligence etc are secondary to empathy.
Most of the financial reasons are political. NIMBYism makes nuclear in general very expensive, even though coal blatantly kills more than even existing nuclear tech, not to mention potential next gen reactors.

In case of breeders, the 2nd argument that makes them expensive is that they're an "proliferation risk".
You would have more to gain, sure.
But you would not be able to reach the level you could have reached with the right education, or with good nutrition, etc...

The article actually also mention this, in the passage about the Flynn effect.

2-30 years experience makes you a senior developer. It's basically a way to avoid paying people for their experience.
I would also add that you don't necessarily 'know' solutions, but rather make sense of the limited input you have and try to extrapolate in that. Obviously this fails hard at human interactions, which makes this the frustrating part. How to think of an alternative when the 'right' solution seems so beautifully simple?
This is not at all my observation. I've noticed that the uncommonly (technically-scientifically) intelligent people I've been exposed to tended to lead very socially balanced and normal lives. They have also been some of the funniest people I've met too.
One slight correction: all of the memory setup is done by the operating system before the program starts at all. An executable file is basically a memory dump -- to start the program, the OS sets up some virtual memory space, copies the program into it(1), and then jumps to a predefined spot in the memory it just copied.

(1) This step is a bit more complicated due to dynamically-linked libraries

Huh. I guess my anti-anti-adblocker is working better than yours. I didn't get that screen. Running uBlock Origin in Medium Mode.
When capitalism is discussed, it should be according to the following kind of definition:

1) economic exchange of resources is achieved through market transactions
2) means of production is privately owned and its availability is discretionary
3) labor is organized in a fashion where economic decisions governing the organization are made by a board of directors
I agree completely. It seems some HN readers think that if they have perfect English (they do not, sadly), everyone else should rise up to their unrealistically high standards. I guess us programmers are a bit more sheltered from the real world. Add to that the primarily US-based audience, and you have what is called a "hivemind".
I find this so ridiculous - both as someone who has worked in research psychology and as a person who, like many others, has a bed and likes to sleep...

If we were such simple creatures that we could be so easily conditioned to not sleep because of previous non-sleep activities in bed, sex of all things would be one of the biggest drivers of insomnia. It produces a significant reward and we're very much wired to want it - as such, it would make a powerful unconditioned stimulus if anything could. Therefore, the previous poster's claim isn't even valid on its face. Sex should absolutely be done elsewhere if we're so easily conditioned away from sleep.

Instead, I'd substitute the idea that things like light exposure do matter (so tv and digital tools are often counter to falling asleep). Another useful idea is the rule of thumb that if you're trying to sleep but can't, after some period of time of tossing and turning, get up, keep the lights dim but do something else and come back in a little bit and try to get yourself in the sleep groove again. It's conceptually not so different from a pilot aborting a landing and going around again, I guess.
These types of engines always interest me. I have a few questions:

1) Is it open source? Link to github?

2) Is the architecture similar to the go engine?

3) is there an alpha-beta pruning search tree at the core? If so, is that part from an exising engine?

4) do you have an estimate of its elo rating?

5) are you training or have you trained on available data sets? Are you training on user games? Are opening and closing libraries used?

Judging by the Wikipedia entry[0], engineers did warn of it and propose a solution, but it would have slowed construction.

> Because the dam was constructed on a foundation of soluble gypsum, the engineers recommended the implementation of a grout curtain within the foundation before the superstructure was built. Instead, to speed construction of the dam, engineers installed a grouting gallery that would allow continuous grouting of the dam's foundation in order to promote stability.

It's a fun way to learn flexbox.
You should think to add an autocomplete helper when typing the flexbox properties.
I don't think you should let an organization do your own thinking. Sometimes when you dig a little you find that the situation is not black and white and that a boycott is not right or an ethical product is not that ethic after all.
And what about reading a few minutes to clear your mind of the previous day?
> Finally POSIX only applications are constrained to CLI and daemons only, as everything else falls outside POSIX.

That is not a small group, especially as it includes your build environment. In Windows, many times I had a problem that I cannot run ./configure (or worse: the package used a home grown build system that assumed unix-y environment; py2cairo, I'm looking at you), not only because of bash/sed/m4/awk/etc, but also not counting with cl.exe (VS compiler).

Side note: OSX has not only frameworks, but also dylibs. You can treat existing framework as dylib, it will link fine.

I don't agree with the premise of the article. The idea that there are "better" versions of each intelligence-influencing allele - and that they simply linearly combine - seems ludicrous to me.

It is equally plausible (and to my mind much more likely) that the many parameters influencing intelligence are linked in complex ways with no simple global optimum in sight.
> This means that there must be at least thousands of IQ alleles to account for the actual variation seen in the general population.

Or that IQ is only governed by genes to a very small extent in which case the rest of the argument goes out of the window.
Personally, I've found myself sleeping better and feeling happier when I manage to stick to an early start, regardless of whether I'm working or when.

For a long time I generally got up as late as I could get away with, but am now very glad I managed to coax myself into being a (relatively) early-riser.
Key Takeaways from JavaScript: The Good Parts
Separate call/local stacks is not really a property of Harvard architectures, which are distinguished by having different address spaces for code and data. The split is really orthogonal to the architecture type.

IA64 is Von Neumann architecture, but still has separate stacks. In fact, at least with clang with SafeStack enabled, you can have separate stacks independently from architecture.

This is already happening, at least in the UK. I don't have the numbers but leasing is being pushed heavily by advertisers and is becoming the normal way for people to get hold of a new car who mightn't otherwise.
I totally agree except over the years I have been using aria2 more and more instead of wget. aria2 supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink with the same sane wget syntax and defaults.

example

$ aria2c http://yourlink.com/file.*

-x2 allows using 2 connections per host.

You're right that the author (unless I missed it) didn't say what proportion of variance in IQ is explained by additive genetic effects (narrow sense heritability) . I think a quick search would likely answer that.
That's exactly it, but it's even simpler than that; when you control the reports that the political leaders are relying on for information, you control the set of options they can select from. Some things never get reported, others get reported such that there is an "obvious correct" choice. Coercive measures are possible, but they shouldn't be necessary in most cases.

Jacob Appelbaum describes this process very well in an interview[1] where talks about the time the CSE[2] tried to recruit him. It's hilarious... and scary for several reasons, including the suggestion that the CSE has to get NSA approval for the people they hire.

This is cool, I'm looking forwarding to the next waves to be released, as I would love to try other properties like flex-grow and flex-shrink.
1) Its not open source. I'll consider releasing the code at some point when the project is more mature.

2) The Go engine has a lot of pieces I don't have yet. What I have is similar to the policy network from the Go engine, but right now I don't have anything like the value network or the rollout parts. Also,

3) The current engine has no search at all. Behind the scenes the network ranks all of the moves, and then I walk down the list and choose the highest ranked legal move. The top ranked move is almost always valid, but occasionally one or two need to be rejected. It's very very rare to need to search outside of the top 5.

Search is definitely on the agenda, but I am pleasantly surprised at how well it plays without it.

4) Not yet :)

5) I'm using kingbase for training data (http://www.kingbase-chess.net/)
When did they tell you this? Just trying to get an accurate time-frame.
Often, I think about an UBI this way: since the robots don't need a paycheck, that paycheck goes to the now 'obsolete' people.
That is fundamentally different now: the robot does not get a paycheck and the paycheck basically goes to the company.

Of course, the company bought and invested in the robot and gets the paycheck as the return on that investment. I've barely heard of someone investing in a robot (or algorithm for that matter) to replace his/herself and also keeping the paycheck while letting the robot/algorithm do the work.
When did they tell you that?
http://what-if.xkcd.com/143/ has more details (and a rather more fantastical situation).
this is highly subjective topic, nobody really knows what mankind truly needs long term in current state. we can state our own personal preferences that would improve things we care for, but that's another topic with possibly different outcomes.

For example, I can easily say we need more people with high moral standards who don't lie, cheat partners, friends,family and do overall positive added value to mankind. This can be anything from freeing a seat in full bus to granny/pregnant woman to curing some specific type of cancer, and anything in between. They don't even need to work hard on this, even small positive action here and there, multiplied by 7 billions, would change our lives gradually for the better. But that's just my subjective 2 cents :)
IMO unless you have trouble falling asleep, the "bed is for sleep or sex" advice is not as useful as "just make sure you get enough sleep."

It might not be as expensive as it sounds. First of all a shadow can be cast using very very light-weight material, maybe even get the mass from objects already in space. Another benefit is that it can be controlled much more carefully than other proposals that have been proposed by serious publications that involve dispersing stuff into the atmosphere itself.

Day labor is not illegal.

And I think the point was that this data is potentially one subpoena away from getting a list of illegal immigrants (who themselves would be very susceptible to exploitation).
Indeed I'd say this "vanguard of postcapitalism" description, and the "open source" tag, is more a Guardian invented exaggeration. Many craft breweries have homebrew roots and, generally speaking, many of them are pretty accommodating of homebrewer inquiries to various degree.

Brewdog's the first one I've seen that's opened up all of this at once, but it is not uncommon (at least in the US) for an American craft brewery to, say, publish a "clone recipe" of one or many of their beers in a homebrew magazine.
I often check HN in bed as a way to wake my brain up after sleeping, works for me. Besides, being lazy in bed is not necessarily time wasted.
Yeah I think it misses the core problem with day labor, which is that the victims of any such shenanigans are themselves unwilling to report it because they are breaking immigration and taxation laws. Reporting it -- via this app or otherwise -- can make them much worse off.
For this kind of anti-adblocking that loads the full page before hiding it, we can just display and read the full page with the "article view" feature. I use the Clearly extention for that because Firefox's native version is rarely available.

But yes, it's a very bad business practice to give the middle finger to those interested in your products, even if you can't monetize their presence yet.
Really fun, I enjoyed playing all the waves... Would definitely be cool to have more challenge levels with maybe css transitions to move the tower while the wave is happening :-)
If you're having sex while reading this, you should definitely stop. You don't want to associate browsing Hacker News with anything except procrastinating at work... so put your pajamas back on.
You (and at least one other) reacted as though I had claimed such an action would come with a guarantee nothing could go wrong. Which is, to put it bluntly, a rather stupid reaction given that:

1. I didn't make a claim. I asked a question.

2. According to the experts, the clock is currently ticking down on a million lives with no idea of how much time is left, so your implied suggestion of doing nothing (which is the implied suggestion when you summarily dismiss a line of thought while providing nothing in its place) is... well, how exactly would you describe the suggestion of just letting a million people die, had it come from someone else?

It's one of those things that sounds ridiculous when phrased one way but totally legitimate when phrased another for the same objective facts.

Ridiculous but true: "I'm locked in at work after I clock out and need to wait to be let out the front door."

Legitimate but true: "The front doors are locked after closing and the manager is finishing a task before unlocking it for me to go home."

Presumably there are still fire exits in the building so it's not necessarily a safety issue (or would be more of a safety issue if the front door was left unlocked while the employees clean up).

Mondo raises £1m in 1m 36s
The only health problems associated with higher intelligence (as opposed to either low intelligence or completely independent of intelligence) are [1] high functioning autism, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Two can be treated with pills when they are disruptive with relatively high success, and the other (Autism) is to me not a particularly net negative condition when high functioning (several immediately family members have it, so this is anecdotal). So the only byproduct of selecting for these genes, is it would compound the likelihood of one of these conditions. It sounds like your friend was in a period of disintegration [2].

Intelligence, in real life, is quite a nebulous thing. We can perhaps measure an IQ number, observe that someone is "bright", or remark upon their achievements, but while all these things are "correlated", it is a loose correlation with many exceptions.

I am not convinced that producing people with high IQ's and declaring them "intelligent super-humans" will result in anything dramatic, unless that is followed up with a lifetime of enrichment: superb education, good parenting, and formative life-experiences.

I do volunteer work in an adult literacy program and, learning disabilities aside, some of these folks are truly very intelligent and fully capable but have been set-back in childhood and young adulthood because of circumstances beyond their control and utterly unrelated to genetics.

If we really want to create super-intelligent beings, there's a "low tech" way to do that will be far more effective than genetic engineering: treat education as a mission-critical priority and make sure kids are taken care of.
What about running the tube over the dam and down to a lower level than it originates? Then gravity(?) does the trick?
