Not exactly. The stuff within the handlebars isn't evaluated, it's just passed through as code rather than a string. Your example is equivalent to this:

React.createElement(div, { count: count?true:false })

not, as your comment implies,

React.createElement(div, { count: true })
These are some nice changes, though there's still plenty of things I want GitHub to make better about code reviewing.

One of these changes, and one that annoys me every single day, is when I get an email about a comment, the email doesn't include any context (e.g. it should include the previous comments on that line and probably the hunk as well). And when I click "View on GitHub" to see it in context, if the commit is now on an outdated diff, I get taken to a page that doesn't show the comment at all. It takes me to the Files view, but the Files view doesn't show outdated comments. If the comment is on an outdated diff then it really should take me to the Conversation view with the comment in question expanded.

Had a quick chat with another user, works fine for this limited tryout at least.

I like that adoption is not such a problem as you only have to share a link.
"Who here honestly thought neural networks were going to be a dominant force in board game AI?"

The potential for neural networks to learn to play games, by playing each other, has been apparent at least since NeuroGammon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogammon), in 1989. The "playing each other" mechanism is key, because it allows large-scale training.

The question is, what games happen to be well structured to allow so-called "credit assignment" so that you can know what states lead to wins across a reasonable spectrum of (unknown/unknowable) opponent plays.

According to the OP, it is known that you can do credit assignment in Go. ("For Go itself, it has been well-known for a decade that Monte Carlo tree search (i.e., valuation by assuming randomized playout) is unusually effective in Go.") I did not know that, but if so, it would simplify the Go problem, although the search space remains huge, etc.

>Donald Trump knows perfectly well who David Duke is

fair enough, good debate on if trump knew him, but since that first interview where he claimed to have a bad ear piece he had disavowed him many times since. I know it gets a lot of air time because the media gets to say "Trump" and "kkk" in the same sentence but this is just an association fallacy and not even an evidence for anyones argument.
Isn't it kind of hard to do placebo control in a trial of a psychedelic? (Or do people actually have psychedelic effects off of placebos?)

Or would "placebo control" be telling them "this is going to help your depression", not "this psychedelic is going to help your depression"?

DC is a good example, because it highlights that the problem is not the number of guns but the propensity to use them. Ther e are many states with very high gun ownership rates but relatively lower gun death rates; for example TX has twice the ownership of CA but half the gun homicides. The distribution of gun deaths is very uneven, for your 'average' American the risk of death by gun is only marginally higher than in Europe.

Is a stable 120Hz frame rate realistic on a PS4? Can it achieve that kind of rate just in normal 1080p output? Or will this relegate the Playstation VR to rendering 5-10 year old graphics? Bearing in mind that VR is a lot more sensitive to frame rate jitter than a traditional screen.

Reminds me of the idea (Robin Hanson's, I think?) to add an extra layer of blindness to studies: during peer review, take the original data, and write a separate paper with the opposite conclusion.

I don't get why there's not a greater push to get smartphone/casual VR streaming from the PC using a wired video connection.

Seems much easier to justify a $700 phone purchase that just happens to have decent VR as a feature than it is to justify purchasing a $600 dedicated headset.

But I guess by throwing their chips in with the Vive Pre, Valve decided not to port their in-home streaming + some stereoscopy to phones. Maybe they found it lacking?

EURUSD: Hesitates Ahead of Key Support
Why do these discussions always end up turning into pseudo-philosophical nihilist pity parties?

We can define greatness however the fuck we want, because as far as we can tell we're the only self-replicating assemblage of molecules that knows or cares what greatness even means. So if, during whatever time we're not spending making more copies of ourselves, we decide we enjoy shuffling molecules into a particular arbitrary pattern, who the fuck is going to tell us that isn't greatness? When you ask why we should bother making copies of ourselves on a different pile of dirt than the one we're currently on, you might as well be asking why we should go on making copies of ourselves at all. There is no endgame. There is only doing interesting shit, doing boring shit, and death. I choose interesting shit.
The absolute price difference is more important here than the multiple. Spending roughly $1k more for entertainment is certainly within the budget of many folks, versus $60k+ for a Tesla over a new Honda fit.

But you're right that the PlayStation VR appeals to the price conscious. Almost as much as not buying one ;)

I get a bit fed up when software developers complain about C compilers and blame the developers, as though compiler developers are somehow a different breed or something. It's all software, and compilers are actually one of the easier things to write.

Somehow, the developers of gcc, clang, and various commercial compilers are all crazy, while people who work on any other project in C are sane? Why haven't the sane software developers forked an open-source compiler and implemented sane semantics?

Blaming the state of compilers on compiler developers without understanding their motivations for making engineering choices is intellectually lazy, particularly for other software developers.

I'm always surprised at the lack of enthusiasm for VR and AR on HN. Is there something specific about this vertical that makes it lackluster for this crowd?

I get cynicism and all that but given how much HN users talk about on demand delivery, CRM tools etc... things that are relatively boring in comparison, and the massive growth in the VR/AR industry I don't get the lack of discussion.

Perhaps not the best avenue for this, but I thought I'd take advantage of eyes on this discussion. How might I go about using JSX outside of React or creating something similar? I basically want to turn custom <xml-style> code into JavaScript that instantiates custom classes that have nothing to do with the DOM. I'd like to do this via a babel plugin as well.

If you can't tell, I enjoy JSX tremendously and I'd like to use it or borrow from it extensively outside of React.
Alan Walker – Faded (metal cover)
Providing more open access to existing research information is just as important as empowering people to share and distribute the findings of their research in formats that both machines and people can understand. I believe we have already produced large amounts of data in wildly different fields of study that can potentially be used with the help of machines (and the diverse perspectives of many humans) to solve problems for which we currently don't have answers.

It looks like the Fair Access to Science and Technology Research (FASTR) bill linked in the article would be a step in the right direction for US citizens. I wonder how other forces (like Sci-Hub) will affect the direction of things to come.
Interested in a powerful, free software friendly workstation?
I was searching to see what other people have said about this issue and came across this:

https://aeon.co/opinions/psychedelics-can-t-be-tested-using-...

This is a different argument about the difficulty of testing psychedelics; it emphasizes a problem about the effects of cultural context (and expectations?) for drug experiences. So it might be hard for an experimenter (or a clinician!) to reproduce factors in someone's cultural background, context, or expectations that might have a big effect on the patient's experience.

On the other hand, with the mental health profession paying a greater amount of attention to "culture-bound syndromes" (mental illnesses that occur in some cultures but not others) and to cultural aspects of the experience of mental illness, maybe this problem also affects tests of things other than psychedelics.
Yes, but 5 to 10 year old graphics in VR look better than anything cutting-edge on a TV.
"Similar in Australia, farmers are allowed to own rifles."

Not really. Farm workers in Australia are allowed to own "class C" firearms which are "Pump-action or self-loading shotguns having a magazine capacity of 5 or fewer rounds and semi automatic rimfire rifles" ...

I wouldn't really characterize a rimfire weapon as a real rifle and I am not really sure how useful that is, other than the raccoon work that I mentioned above. I wouldn't attempt shooting foxes or coyotes with a .22.

The Australian gun laws are amazingly restrictive for a country that large and wild and varied. I would feel quite hamstrung as a farmer (or even simply a resident) in a remote, rural area with only a shotgun and/or a .22 (the typical rimfire weapon) ...
It's not entirely clear how to exploit VR/AR yet—you're asking people to wear dorky headgear for what people perceive as a gaming experience.

I kind of view it as gyroscopic controls—weren't they the future? Turns out they're awkward and ill-suited for many types of gameplay.

I want this website so badly!

Please keep it up and continuing to find a way to make it more complete. Right now I can find appearances by Daniel Negreanu by searching in iTunes, but not through Podcat. Also it would be awesome if there were a way to include information beyond the RSS feed of a podcast - for example Arcade Outsiders only includes information from the most recent 20 or so episodes, though there have been 89+ episodes overall which are all still available with information on the Arcade Outsiders website.

Another possible feature: strip out the repetitive portions of episode descriptions on the results page when the displayed text is always the same for all the results on the page.
> includes any PHP, Ruby or Python site that allows

So any site already vulnerable to arbitrary command execution will now be vulnerable to RCE via arbitrary command execution? If your site currently allows arbitrary shell command execution the game was already lost.

> It has all the potential to be huge.

Really? The vulnerability on the client side is limited to a very small percentage of the internet users. Furthermore these users are much more likely to be aware of the vulnerability and upgrade compared to grandma and her flash plugin. The story is not that different on the server. The number of publicly accessible git daemons pales in comparison to apache or services that use openssl. As mentioned above this does not really change anything for sites that allow arbitrary shell command execution.

Running around like chicken little saying the sky is going to potentially fall is not productive and in the long run will probably not bring about the desired result for your page views...
I think it's really interesting that metrics apparently support facebook and twitter constantly moving towards curation.

Plastic instruments, motion controllers, Power Gloves™ … it could be a fad (I don't think it will be) but I think the collective excitement about a “revolutionary new gaming interface" has been burnt too many times and people aren't buying into it yet.

I'm a bit disappointed in the article. The author explains the tests they use to measure her supposed increase in intelligence and how in many cases, older "brains" are preferable in various professions (e.g. the Supreme Court, surgery (possibly), air traffic controller) but doesn't really talk about any practical changes in her life.

Rather she talks about how she still forgets the keys. So is there no perceived difference after her $64,000 experiment?

I totally agree that a different business model with low-priced devices might be needed for consumer gamer VR to take off any time soon.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw adoption of expensive VR/AR devices for industrial/enterprise applications in a much bigger way long before consumer stuff takes off. In a lot of ways gaming us a bad place to introduce VR - immersion doesn't necessarily make for a "better" gaming experience once the novelty fades, motion and speed and high quality graphics are hard to deal with, and buyers are fairly price-sensitive. 3D printing is doing relatively well in industrial usage, despite the consumer hype having faded.
I don't think this is accurate. To wit: I don't think Apple's argument is that the limits they're seeking are well established (they are not), only that they are important and sound.

Either way, Congress isn't a check on the Supreme Court. It's typically rather the other way around.
I think it's impossible to do a double blind experiment, but you can still test it to compare vs placebo and vs standard medicines and vs another psychedelic.

The idea to compare to a placebo is that there are a lot of variables that you can't control. For example, most studies have some eligibility criteria like age, so you need to know the baseline reaction of your population.

Perhaps the weakly meeting to check the general state of the subjects is enough to change the outcome. If you don't compare against a control group with almost the same treatment it's possible that the effect you are measuring is not due to the psychedelic but to the other details.
Well it sounded like you were having some regrets about what that happened. So perhaps I misinterpreted things.
Not slightly, greatly.

Hi, Mapbox developer here. We've gotten a few requests for offline for mapbox-gl-js[0], but haven't put a priority on it yet. We need to do some investigation to see if this is something that's feasible to build with Web APIs such as IndexedDB.

True. But that's not always all that's needed. If I decide to flesh out an API section, it would be better to put the work in and use autodoc (which of course means I have to go make sure my docstrings are up to date). Build a TOC. A lot of things in RST are not in Markdown (the whole point of this article), and would have to be added to really take advantage of RST.

> But you're right that the PlayStation VR appeals to the price conscious. Almost as much as not buying one ;)

The implication here, that there's no market for a $400 piece of video game hardware when more powerful hardware is available at higher price points, is pretty obviously wrong given the success of the PlayStation 4 itself.

The simple fact is, for the price of a Vive, you can get both a PS4 and a PSVR. And the $800 Vive requires a computer even more expensive than itself. This is not an insignificant difference.
