Out of an abundance of desire for you to be happy and this project to succeed:

You should sell something. You have a variety of options for "something." [+] You will always make more money selling something than selling nothing. Your project is orders of magnitudes too small, and not popular enough with the right people, to subsist on donations from developers. (Sponsorships are a thing you can sell, and are not donations. They're priced at 3~4 orders of magnitude higher than donations, are budgeted out of places other than "charity", and can be sold rather than hoped for.)

You do not owe anyone an apology for choosing to sell something. You do not owe yourself an apology for choosing to sell something. You do not need to mention the economy or your personal economic circumstances. It will not successfully motivate anyone to pay you a thousand dollars. No lawyer in the country does that. No doctor in the country does that. No teacher in the country does that. You being compensated for your professional labor is not an outlandish request. It is the default. This will discomfit some freeloaders in your community. They contribute no patches or money. Let them wget the binaries; do not allow them to wget an iota of your stress budget.

[ + ] A specific example of a thing you can sell that can't be said of every OSS project that hits HN: There exist literally thousands of businesses on the Internet which host websites for other businesses. Some of them allow their customers to upgrade service to include an HTTPS certificate; many don't, would like to, but cannot offer that given technical constraints. Caddy is a drop-in [ ++ ] minimal-risk option for any less-than-galactic-scale hosting company to offer "HTTPS certs at scale that just work" for e.g. the local bakery.

This is something they can offer to clients. You can sell them on the desirability of offering it and let them promote powered-by-Caddy "free SSL certs for everyone purchasing our hosting." Any measurable uptick in business from a hosting company running at anything greater than dormroom scale is worth $$$$. You can say "There's a repo on the Internet which suggests a way that you can get this done; if you'd prefer to ship it by next Tuesday, there's a glide path available for $THOUSANDS."

[ ++ ] On reading more closely it isn't quite "drop-in" but given the amount of value that would surface for users and the additional revenue possibilities that would suggest prioritizing that fairly highly. The joys of product management. The specific feature you probably want is reverse proxying; happily, Go is practically a language built to write reverse proxies in.
There's been a dozen things I've tried to search on HN, for example, looking for keywords and there's literally dozens of other links with similar topics that prevents me from finding what I looked for.

Various programming questions. Don't have an example right now, sorry.
In Spanish, it's the first person subjunctive form of "to wash". So you'd use it to express something like "It's good that I am washing myself" or "Maybe I am washing it."
That quote reminds me of "The Two Faces of Tomorrow" by James P. Hogan. One of the subplots is that humans can communicate because of shared experience. We all must eat, sleep, breathe, seek shelter, etc. Communication with an alien or artificial intelligence may be difficult or even impossible without this shared framework.

I noticed that my employer had a few empty account numbers on the direct deposit form. So I had a few hundred per month directed into a savings account, on top of a 10% 401k deduction. I've been thinking about upping that, but I'm still saving without consciously choosing to do so for every paycheck.
I've lived that scenario, and the book was called heroin, so imagining it isn't really hard for me.

In the end all life is is one choice after another, and making good ones over bad mostly leads to a happier life.

Yeah... many great sites are already just labours of love as it is...

I mean, I hate crappy clickbait sites as much as the next person... but in our effort to thwart those we're really going to put the squeeze on more honest sites as a side effect.
Seems unlikely. Training was partly from human games, and partly from self play; if there's some new, off book heuristics at play, there's no way to know that humans would respond poorly to them. Though I suppose it's possible it would notice that humans do poorly on simply off book moves generally.

This looks pretty cool, our minecraft addicted kids are going to love it.

I'm curious, do you plan to charge for this game? And if so, I wonder how that might work when it's a browser-based game. Ads? Subscription? Something else?
This is a cool project, it'd be fun to make, and I'd bet enlightening to walk around with your eyes closed for a while.

There are a few things I'm sure I'd have done differently, and I'm not criticizing, I'm saying mine might have come out worse the first time. But I'm curious if anyone who's tried it can speak to the choices.

The case seems huge, the components could definitely fit into a tube half the diameter. Maybe it'd just take more time to pack, but maybe a large tube is actually beneficial for feeling the vibrations?

I'm sure I'd have tried audio over vibration, seems like you can get a much better range with less battery power. But vibration is perhaps less annoying to use for longer periods of time, or just more tactile?

And the PING sensor in my experience is extremely, surprisingly narrow. It feels like real life ray tracing. I've been curious about, but too busy to buy & play with, the infrared proximity sensors - I'm wondering if they have a somewhat wider spread but could still work here? Anyone know?
>The fact that you or I dislike a product does not make it 'bad'*

Yes. Bad requires either a quantifiable judgement (McDonalds fares poorly in healthiness, nutricients, calories and lots of other metrics), or a qualitative one, based on some sort of agreed ypon "what constitutes good food" standard -- which in the end comes from what vision one has for the world.

Even if the latter is not objectively verifiable (that a steak at Peter Luger is better than a Chipotle one for example), I still find a society where isn't enough common agreement to label McDonalds as bad, a sad one.
I think it's not a slice. If you sliced reality in half you'd see the cross-section of whatever you sliced in half, as opposed to that multi-planer cow standing over there beyond the slice point. Our 2D version of the 3D world we perceive to inhabit is projecting (and mixing) light that falls on the back of our eye. It's a highly dynamic and contextual environment backed by the absolutely best encryption known anywhere. Other simulations, while cost effective, can't compete with our reality's reliability.

How Backpage.com Facilitates Child Rape
I think the main thing Jed was going for, which is different from Pickle and most people aren't picking up on, is that the output is simply JavaScript. It doesn't output a storage format that must be turned back into live objects by some form of parser, and so it doesn't require any additional scripts to be used.

(edited to add that, of course, pickle is part of the python standard library, which makes this specific feature less interesting)

I agree in the OP's case this is a disciplinary issue. I would argue it's cause for termination but I imagine that's a minority opinion here.

I was referring to hobs's suggestion that a mid-day nap increase employee productivity and work quality. That may very well be the case but I still wouldn't pay employees to nap in the middle of the day.

Whoa, thanks for the attention! Left the computer here and came back after an hour to see quite a few new email signups... Didn't really know what to expect, but this was a positive surprise!

Anyway, regarding the similarities with Space Engineers, it is understandable, as both are kind of first person space games. To be honest, it has been a while since I looked at their game, but I believe our vision is different. We have more of a back story, more gameplay (not just a sandbox), living ecosystems, NPCs, missions, etc. Ship building is a core part, where you build and improve your ship and crew to be able to travel further and explore more.

The demo we have on our site is a bit dated concept version we built with WebGL (Three.js and Cannon.js). We have recently moved to Unity and are working on an intro/tutorial that will be our new downloadable demo. ETA of that is few weeks from now at least.

We're going to need to apply the blockchain to this problem eventually. Someone call me when we're ready.
Rather than move into the fully abstract and general, I'd actually love to learn more about the specifics of this particular problem. I wonder if regular unpeeled tangerines can be made more accessible with a few smart perforations on their skin, or a tool that does it.
I'm not a Go player but play other competitive sports. Humans have a herd mentality...as Op mentioned there's certain styles of playing...which has their own strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes people will not examine other styles that may have better strengths and just focus on the exist one. Then comes along someone who 'thinks outside the box' with a new style and revolutionize the playing field.

Think Bruce Lee and the creation of Jeet Kune Do. Before him everyone concentrated on improving one style by following it classically, rather than just thinking of 'how do I defeat someone'.

IMHO Lee is the best at the current style of Go. AlphaGO is the best at playing Go. Maybe humans can devise a better style and defeat AlphaGo, but I'm sure AlphaGo can adapt easily if another style exists.

The biggest problem with this is that this is perfect for political assasinations. It can be precise enough and it can be probably leave little traces or be made hard to identify who was controlling the weapon - just like now we have problem with identifying the sources of internet attacks.

I remember reading, many years ago, a very short SF story about a robot built specificially to kill targeted people and leave false traces. I think even now it would not be too difficult to built a small bug-like (or wasp-like) robot with a poisonous sting that could autonomously navigate a few hundred meters to reach a bed of a politician (or activist) - how are you going to protect your leaders against an attack like this?

@an4rchy, I think if you open the page in private mode it will most likely ask you again. If that does not work, feel free to contact me and I can pass on your comments (my email is my HN alias + microsoft.com).

@Avalaxy, it would be great when you click Yes or No, that you also try to add a comment about your issue or why you liked the page. I can not speak for every group, but most groups I know of review the voting and comments for all of their pages really carefully. For example, my team has a weekly discussion on this and what we plan to do to improve the pages. If a page gets a negative vote along with a comment why it poor, it is much easier to improve the page, however, if it simply has a negative vote we have to make guesses as to why it was poor.
>"a win by 0.5 is equivalent to a win by 50.5 It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning."

Which reminds me of some wisdom from Dominic Toretto "It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning."
I'm constantly reminded of "Kill decision" by Daniel Suarez that I read last year based on a recommendation here.

It plays these ideas (cheap, autonomous) out for some quite interesting reading, only it is the bad guys who are in control.

The announcement of SQL Server for Linux is very interesting; the other year when they released an ODBC driver for Linux I thought it was a significant change but it would be interesting to know how many people actually used it.

Oddly the focus on The Cloud seems to be also matched by the focus on telemetry gathering etc. I will wait to see how it pans out.
> Honest question for disability supporters though: Would you support a 1% tax on every able-bodied person, with the proceeds used to help disabled people better live their lives?

Yes, absolutely.

I realize it's been tainted by association with Marx, but "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" is still the best fundamental social principle I can think of. It doesn't even have to be purely altruistic--I want myself and my loved ones to be cared for when we are sick or hurt or disabled; therefore it's only fair and just that I do the same for others.

> would you support a X% tax on every single able-bodied person, with the proceeds used to better help all disabled people? And if yes, what do you think is a reasonable limit on X?

I haven't studied the problem nearly enough to state a single figure, but broadly the answer is "whatever is necessary and sufficient for the comfort and happiness of both able and disabled." Also "from each according to his ability," of course--in any case I think it's pretty well-established that progressive tax > flat tax.

(That said, I respectfully think there must be a better/less wasteful way to make oranges available to people with limited hand strength. Making peeling a free service from the produce department, available on request, seems reasonable; or possibly supplying a device for the purpose, either a cheap take-home item or a countertop dingus at the store.)
It's not a zero-sum game, there are more assets now than when we all lived in mud huts or roamed the plains in search of food. Were there to be no real returns to investment we would all have just been trading around the same fixed amount of assets for the last 10,000 years, which is of course nonsensical.

His argument is that nominal returns adjusted for inflation in the long run average to zero. Which is saying that there is no such thing as a real return to investment. However that is incorrect, as investing in productive assets can increase the world's net wealth and productive capacity.

As one can observe by the vast increase in our collective productive capacity from the stone age through the present day.

We will charge for the game, yes. We are building the game with the Unity Engine, and that allows us to release on practically any platform we want. Currently we are aiming for a standalone PC/Mac/Linux release, but mobile is of course also interesting. First things first, though.

We are considering selling the game on Steam, but have not decided yet.
A great breakthrough could be to decode the information contained in the feature space of the nn or the rnn. A topological language in which shapes and chains are explained by analogies with real world situations and actions. Being able to share our vision and communicate our intentions (the weight given to the distinct features and the links among the several layers of the nn - the overall plan) should transform the concept of AI into one of CAI communication between intelligent agents to create a synergistic approach).
The Quest for the Real-Life Treasures of Atari's Swordquest
Hi. Presenter here. Honestly the goal wasn't to sound fancy. If you're going to work in the GraphDB world, you're going to come across this terminology.

If your concern around my intro is the complexity described of the relational world, well, that's kind of the point. Anyone with at least a few years experience in the RDBMS world has probably come across a project that's spiraled completely out of control with a outrageous number of many to many relationships that are almost impossible to work with. The role of the DBA just to manage your queries and tables is a reflection of that difficulty.

GUN looks like a cool project. Good intro, & thanks for the feedback.
In general, TensorFlow and other automatic differentiation frameworks (Chainer, Torch, Theano, etc.) operate on gradient descent of smooth functions. If you can recast your combinatorial problem into a smooth function, then these frameworks may be applicable. However, most combinatorial optimization problems aren't readily transformed into smooth functions, so this is unlikely to be straightforward.
You confused the problem statement. What is being solved is "how do we created an AI that can produce art" not "art"
Okay, very interesting... I like the way you think. Luckily, I built various components and the entire CSS layer (which gets very complex) is really only understood by me... which is a nice monopoly from time to time. But yeah, if I leave I know I'll be forced to continue doing the same work but also forced to educate the entire team, etc. on my knowledge.

But you're right, I don't want to make anything personal, it's purely a business and career growth decision on my end. I love the company and what they stand for, but I don't like feeling like I'm being taken advantage of by being underpaid for my skill sets.

After working here for a while, I've noticed that the interviewees are lacking in skill sets and we can't seem to gain or retain top talent... which also leads me to think I have a leg-up on this as if I leave, they're screwed in certain areas.

Not one, but the best book that you need to read in this particular moment. Full with all the advice that you were seeking, with the right amount of new things that you learn and familiar knowledge that you reinforce. The protagonist casually comments things very related to the open issues in your work, and helps you see the particular issue you're having with your boss from another perspective. With just the right amount of common content so you can comment with your peers at work (perhaps your office pal is reading the story of a side-character in your book - the watercooler conversation is great, he gives you new insights for the reading of this evening - and now you both agree on the discussion thread of last week).
Hey, what's that? It seems that the new upgrade is now able to create scenes in Unity with the scenarios that are covered by your next novel. Great!
