Meh. I always hate these articles about neuroscientists having non-ordinary experiences. Either heterophenomenology is valid or it isn't, whether or not you're a neuroscientist should be largely irrelevant.

If her training as a neuroscientist was providing some sort of special insight into her subjective experiences then that would be one thing, but that's never actually the case with these articles, other than intermittently having some basic awareness of what might be going on.

By privileging the experiences of people whose backgrounds don't have any real epistemological relevancy, I feel like these articles epitomize the hegemonic aspects of science, which is troubling on multiple levels.

The problem with their point is that it it's a fair-weather argument. It sounds perfectly reasonable in a world of good-faith actors, and a checked and regulated law enforcement, filled with upstanding moral officers.

And even if you trust the current government, how can you trust a future government to continue acting in the best interest? Maybe abuse won't happen today, but what are your guarantees that it won't happen in the future?

Also, we live in a world where there are still plenty of totalitarian regimes. If, for example, Apple develops this capability and give it to US law enforcement, every single totalitarian regime out there is going to demand access to the same thing for their law enforcement, and then we know they are going to abuse it.

> downvoters - is HN unable to have a debate about whether this was a smart move or not

I doubt the downvotes are in opposition to discussing it. I think it's your poor framing of it. You basically say, "these guys are doomed because I imagine things". It's not other people's job to argue you out of your errors.

If you'd actually like to start a discussion, try saying something like, "I don't understand why X" or "How will Dropbox overcome factor Y". When you come out swinging, you start an oppositional dynamic, and downvotes are a common response to an aggressive opening that isn't so compellingly put that people feel it's worth responding to.
No, if you're after session persistence or sharing ala tmux, that's right in the sweet spot of what tmux does well and neovim's :term mode isn't designed form.

It's quite possible that we'll see those features in the future, what with neovim's separate frontend vs. backend architecture.
I agree the title is misleading. I sleep 6-7 hours most nights, but I never go 2 weeks straight on that because I inevitably end up "catching up" at some point.

I use keyboard as much as possible but find for things like flash one needs to click.

Would you mind sharing your xinit snippit to set cursor location?

BTW my browsing experience with keyboard only is made largely painless by chrome with vimium. You can also select and yank text with this.
But still, nothing prevents you from having cameras hidden throughout your house. There still needs to be physical access to the house. Where encrypted data can be distributed anywhere and decrypted without trace, there is only one copy of a house and it is yours.
I'd never say that strong ubiquitous encryption is not going to be a problem. I'd just say that (a) It's the fault of those who proved they couldn't be trusted with that kind of power (b) Crime is at an all-time low so it weighs lower on my set of priorities, (c) If the "law-enforcement cases that everyone cares about" include drugs I'm starting to be one of the people that don't actually care about those and (c) as I'm not American I think I'm allowed to disregard all law-enforcement arguments until the FBI publishes the framework that allows my local LE to access such data but not the chinese though-police.

Once it becomes straightforward to do ML with a pre-packaged library, you'll quickly start to see Amazon or a third-party offer effective MLaaS. That will suck quite a bit of oxygen out of the room.
My main complain about tmux is that it messes with my terminal emulator scroll buffer. I like to use a mouse to scroll my terminal emulator. For example I can do `cat file` and then scroll around. If file is huge, `less` is better, of course, but for most things terminal scrolling is perfect. But `tmux` and `screen` completely ruin that experience. I know that they have their own scrollbuffer and scroll mode and all that, but I've found that perfect user experience for me is to blend GUI approach and text mode approach instead of replacing it.
The scrolling is really jarring with my Mac + Magic mouse. Often, when scrolling, I skipped 2 slides. Then, when trying to go back, I'd skip anywhere from 1-3 slides. It was out of control.
If C wants to remain competitive against up-and-coming systems languages in the next 5 years (ahem rust), we need something like this. Half of the packages in any linux distro would be straight-C packages in a sane universe.

I understand the counterargument that 'C compiles to every architecture' and that's the key to its persistence, but hard-to-use library importing is such a high bar for new developers to learn a system. All the new talent is going to use what's easy.
Does LXD provide any type of cluster management behavior? As in if I have two host machines and a dozen containers and host A goes down, is it possible to configure a live migration of the latest known state from host A to host B using LXD alone? Or do I need something built on top of it to do that?
Ok, I see what you mean now.

But it seems like (or one could misunderstand you in way that) you see those concepts as mutually exclusive. I would assume a combination of reinforcement learning and unsupervised (and supervised) learning.

Rats have been trained to detect landmines and then go back to their trainers and show them the mine. This is complex behaviour that was taught using reinforcement (at least on a top level). There will be some unsupervised learning going on in the rat's brain on a lower level. But it is complex behaviour and it's been reinforcement learnt.

Encrypt all the things.

And that is what is happening, which is why this story is hot. Because, encrypting all the things is a way for the people of a democracy to take back power from their abusive governments.

The important part is that the authors (and several others) have verified the statistics out to a few hundred billion primes -- and that while the bias does start to drop out, it does so "very slowly." That's what makes this result not "numerology."
> Are there no twin primes (p,p') where p%3 == 1 and p'%3 == 2?

By definition, no there aren't. Twin primes are a distance of 2 apart, so your mod 3 options are 0 -> 2, 1 -> 0, and 2 -> 1. Anything involving 0 means it's divisible by 3, so your only mod 3 possibility for twin primes is 2 -> 1.

EDIT: Excluding the possibility where 3 mod 3 = 0, of course. This allows a 0 -> 2 transition with (3,5).
I think you mean something like this: https://mailinabox.email/

It's almost the same setup (and inspired by) the OP's link but in a simple script that you can deploy to a cheap VPS. I've been running my own email server for years, but I've considered switching to this just for the reduced maintenance.
Really big fan of this approach - link the work up with the thing tracking the work as closely as possible. At Etsy we use Github and JIRA separately and I personally think it'd save time and reduce confusion if we were to move to something like Zube. Nice job Jen!

Who's part of your security team over there? Most of the big cloud companies have people I trust working for them and I've been pretty comfortable telling most of my clients that cloud services are often going to have a better security team than they will. :)

But now that you've moved away from AWS, have you expanded your security team to help make up for the fact that you need folks to cover all your infrastructure security needs now too? Have you made the hires you needed to deal with the low level security issues in hw and kernel? How have you all been dealing with this so far?

I ask, because I help people make sense of their security issues and my clients explicitly ask me about your company. So keeping track of what you all are doing there is pretty relevant!
For almost all purposes, "stochastic" is literally a synonym for "random". But sometimes the usage favors one and not the other.

You would talk of a "random variable" (loosely, a quantity that exhibits random behavior, although there is a technical definition that is more precise and has a different flavor), not a "stochastic variable".

Sometimes, you would talk about a "stochastic matrix" (which is actually deterministic, an example of a namespace clash), because a "random matrix" would indeed be random be filled with "random variables".

But, you would often talk about a "stochastic process" like Brownian motion. Although you can also say "random process", and that's the same thing.

You would not talk about a "random distribution", that sounds like you mean "arbitrary distribution" (as in, "I picked out some random socks today"). But you don't mean arbitrary, you mean a "statistical distribution" or "probability distribution".

To get all this right, you have to live in that world, you can't just visit. If an outsider could just speak the language using clear rules, there would be no point in all those advanced classes, right? ;-)

This is basically my use-case too, in that it's more important to get access to _every_ document which contains that keyword and less important to rank them in a search-engine order. I think that it may be possible to do fairly inexpensively[1] but I'm still benchmarking to pick the right mix of technologies and data structures.

If your primary use wasn't the background/attach feature, sure this will work as will many other mechanism. I know like many users my main motivation is not losing the terminal session when (not if) X or Wayland crashes.

You may want to have a look at these as they have similar goals to yours:

OpenWebIndex is only in the idea stage as far as I know. Deusu has been running for over a year and already has about 1.2 billion pages in their index.
I wonder what size of cluster they are using.

I have two clusters running.

Largest one is an ELK stack. 7 nodes (soon to be 8, we're logging too much :) ), no dedicated master nodes, ~3TBs of data (1.5TB data x 2 for the back up). Need to make sure they are split appropriately into availability zones in case you lose a cloud zone. Need to have the right # of minimum master nodes otherwise you can hit a split brain issue. 500GB SSD, 4vCPUs, 26gigs memory. It eats ~5 gigs an hour peak load without breaking a sweat. Can basically take any heavy query people have thrown at it kibana wise.
I'm the author of scalafmt, happy to hear there's interest in the project! Scala has a very rich syntax. I remember first coding in Scala being unsure where to put newlines or how far to indent. My hope is to make that problem go away.

Scalafmt is indeed new, just released 0.1.0 last week. However, it's already become useful for me with the IntelliJ plugin. Scalafmt is practically my full-time job for 2 more months so you can expect it to get more mature soon. Feature requests and bug reports are very welcome.

Why would you make your own vs. buying it from a shop?
This isn't "Free" as it's only a usage-limited API service. The example I tried also didn't show it to be superior to existing open solutions. So I fail to see it's interest (and wonder how it got so many upvotes in such a short time without any comment).
>My experience with "dentists these days" matches yours. I go in for a checkup, and instead I'm getting sales pitches for mouth guards and alignment thinggys, and electric toothbrushes and all sorts of obviously high-margin dental accessories.

I'm going to agree and disagree with this one.

I went a few times to a "dental spa" a couple years ago which was trying to sell me a "night guard" for $900, claiming I was grinding my teeth at night. Their prices for other stuff were pretty high too.

My current dentist pushed me hard to get an electric toothbrush, either from her office or elsewhere. They even gave me a sample brushhead and let me try it out in their office, using some purple pills to show how much cleaner the electric toothbrush made my teeth. Her price actually wasn't that bad compared to Target/Walmart, but I ended up getting a nice Oral-B on Amazon on Black Friday. Guess what? The dentist was right! Now my teeth constantly feel like I just got a polishing at the dentist. I got another Oral-B for my wife on Amazon (it was only $30-35), and she loves it.

Seriously, get an electric toothbrush; it makes a huge difference. You don't need to waste time getting a full polishing when you use one of these daily.

But as for the night guard, my current dentist hasn't tried to sell me one of those. And they recommend twice-a-year visits, which is what my insurance pays for.

It sounds like you need to find a new dentist.
There are about 4 people working on the project for various periods of time? I'd pretty much refuse to draw any more serious conclusions based on that small data set. Everything seems pretty average.

Is there some conclusion you're fishing for?

In the same way that an "encrypt everything" future decreases the current power of a warrant, the current power of a warrant is far above its historical level.

The transition from physical to digital massively increased the amount of data being stored. Your "papers" never recorded your historic location, biometrics, metadata and contents of all (or most) of your communication, etc. It used to be that the government could never access most of that information, warrant or not. Now they can, because our smartphones track all that stuff. The more I think about it, the more I see our digital assistants as extensions of the mind rather than an ever-growing stack of "papers and effects;" it's a difference in magnitude that produces a difference in kind.

I'd argue that the encrypt everything future is more similar to the pre-digital past than not. Before the telephone, law enforcement could never access the contents of a private conversation without physically putting a person in the room or questioning someone involved. I wouldn't say that it's exactly the same; there's a big difference in effort between using Signal and enciphering all of your physical letters, which will admit a difference in adoption rates.

Like the other commenter said, it brings back the importance of HUMINT. But like you said, adding a law enforcement loophole to encryption is not the answer; that would only serve to increase government surveillance power, even if it was gated with a warrant. It's the equivalent of putting a surveillance device in everyone's pocket. Historically unprecedented, even if you need a warrant to access the data on it. Problem is that law enforcement desperately wants to keep that power now that they have it.
Yeah, I managed to get an edit in just before you replied -- I thought I was missing something obvious but I kept looking for a bug in my code instead of realizing that it's mathematically obvious :)

while we're talking about tmux, when will it gain screen's flow control (not tty flow control you can enable/disable), so that something like 'tar xfv linux-4.5.tar.xz' won't lock up tmux anymore. This works smoothly in screen but breaks tmux.

I'd take issue saying crossing the Alps was the most celebrated achievements. It's the fact that he crossed the Alps, losing half(?) his force in the process, then proceed to win three major victories against the Romans, culminating in the Battle of Cannae.

Most military historians consider the Battle of Cannae to be his greatest achievement- in which Hannibal's smaller folder encircled and destroyed the larger Roman one. Several members of the Roman elite, including Senators and Consuls were killed in the battle.

Looks interesting, I'll have to check it out.
I probably wasn't sufficiently clear in my other message re Golang:

- Python is our primary development language for most stuff at Dropbox.

- Mobile development and UI code use whatever is appropriate for each platform.

- Go is the primary language for Infrastructure, meaning fairly deep-backend stuff: databases, storage systems, message pipelines, search indices etc.

- Rust is used on Magic Pocket (which is within Infrastructure).

- We still have a bit of C++ code floating around but there's not much new development in C++ within Infrastructure. C/C++ are still used for common libraries for mobile development however.
...Huh?
I don't find <prefix>-PgUp a lot harder than Shift-PgUp. The tmux buffer also has the benefit that you can search, copy, write to file and more.

Oh, and I think tmux' "mouse on" lets you wheel-scroll the buffer, although I haven't used it.
Are you seriously comparing an FDA trial to a 17th century trial? If you don't see the absurdity of trying to equate the quality of those two I don't know what to tell you, setting aside your idea that a "26.7" sample size would be anywhere near significant enough to draw any sort of meaningful conclusion.
"To therapeutically influence the microbiome long-term in humans is a big hurdle," said Sander van Deventer, managing partner at venture-capital firm Forbion Capital Partners. "The microbiome is very stubborn. Everything we’ve done so far has only had a temporary effect."

I am guessing they are looking at one shot drug therapies. This is totally doable if you make dietary and lifestyle changes and are persistent. Yes, actually moving the numbers (so to speak) is tough going, but it can be done.
There's far too many assumptions laid in your arguments thus far to unpack them without writing volumes on this problem. But I'll sum it up this way with a question: do you think you should work to justify your existence? If you say yes to this question then you're in their trap, thus any solution you propose on the predicate of everyone has to work is flawed from the get go. If you say no, then you got a starting point to build out from the old social/economic order, so branch out and explore that thought some more.
Do I understand your first scenario correctly, that if for example you flip TTHH, you stop there, count that as "took four flips to get to HH," count nothing for HT, and then start over?

Seems like you're just taking a biased sample, which cancels out the differences. To take an extreme example, imagine one candidate is HHHHHHHHHH and the other candidate is any other sequence of ten flips. In the "try until you get either one" scenario, the average number of flips for either one will be 10. Testing them independently, the average number of flips for the second one will be slightly over 10, and for HHHHHHHHHH it'll be huge.
Curious about the specifics with how you interfaced Go with Rust.
It can't, though. ML works best when you have enough data to build models that are robust and resilient to noise, and enough customers (or users) that these models will move the needle.

The vast majority of startups and small businesses - those whose customer base measures in the dozens to hundreds - should be going out, engaging their customers person-to-person, and looking for qualitative data, because that's what'll move the needle on their sales. There's no point in understanding "your customer base" as a unit until it's big enough that it behaves, statistically, as a unit; instead, you should be focusing on "your customers", individually. Once you get into the thousands of customers you can start applying some basic learning models, and once you get into the millions machine-learning becomes as fundamental as pricing.

But you gotta get there first, and many businesses haven't. And even if they have, userbase-wise, they need to build the infrastructure (through web & mobile devs, backend engineers, data scientists, etc.) to log, store, and clean all that data before they can apply machine-learning to it.
We are definitely interested in adding GitLab support as well as other integrations though I'm not sure when we'll get there.
That type of metagame seems useful though, in the sense that you can start to sense the state of mind of your opponent. If they are working harder than you think they need to, you might get away with a riskier move for instance.
