> All other parties involved (US,China,Japan,South Korea, Russia) are all to be blamed for suffering of 25 millions of people living in an artificial skansen of communism.

> US and SK should have invaded and liberated the NK long time ago. They are as much part of the problem as the NK's leadership is.

I'm glad you're so high on your own morality that you're willing to condemn thousands of people that aren't you to death in starting a war. There's the possibility that economics and the changing international climate will bleed over and convince the populace to change. That's what people have been hoping for - a chance for change with a minimum of bloodshed. A chance to convince rather than force.

Yes, there's debate over whether a long-term peaceful approach or a short-term decisive strike would cause the least "suffering". I get that. But it's not as simple as the US going over to free the shit out of them. China has previously committed to at least partial protection of NK in an armed conflict. And while NK's military power is relatively anemic compared to most of the world, throwing down with China isn't exactly an attractive opportunity. Plus, there's already a lot of negative perception about US intervention in other countries. It doesn't always go well, and it's certainly rarely perceived well.

And then there's all the naive kids that would be dying because you think it's their fault for not doing something about every single thing that goes wrong on the planet. Exactly why should those kids get embroiled in a war as opposed to living their own lives? Even the ones who survive likely won't be able to integrate and function well in society afterwards. Not to mention the harsh effect on the NK and SK populace. Yeah, you can think of it as being like quickly pulling off a band-aid until you realize all the dead people and ruined lives it costs to take the shortcut.

Maybe you should try not condemning other people for ignorance when you're asking thousands to die for your naive internet opinion of global politics. If war's the solution you want, go do it yourself instead of trying to get the rest of us to do it for you.
My bad, I originally found the photos from this french version of an euronews article [1] which states that he “modified the camera's firmware so that the delete button doesn't exactly remove the photos" [2]

It would be. With PHP the language is loaded once regardless of how much code is going to be parsed and executed. The amount loaded matches size of the code base with other languages that have to boot up, which puts a cap on how much low traffic code you can put on a single server.

Understanding Hardware Transactional Memory [pdf]
I guess studying prime gaps can do that...

But I was actually quite serious. Prime chaos is the result of taking additive modularity and relaying it to multiplicative modularity. Form creating function. Function creating form. Two things hardly related but at a junction through numbers, through counting.

If you think my mention of mirror and partitioning has pangs of insanity, you should study how the gaps of primes evolve...its just a waveform defined by previous primes. And yes, it does involve mirroring and partitioning. Primes are just an easy target for bullshit if you dont even understand what belies each prime generating a waveform that then causes interference with the existing sieve waveform (that belies all previous primes.)

If this interests you or you have any questions, I'd be happy to do a skype or hangouts call to show you how primes are actually very analagous to 'an endless convoluting ticker.'

1. Their desktop support isn't provided by a native app but rather ducktaped onto Chrome, which in turn forces me to have that pole of junk installed.

2. There's no iPad app, granted you can run the iPhone app in compatibility mode but that's just feels wrong in 2016.

3. Their support for multiple devices using one account can at best considered an afterthought attached to their mobile apps with gum. When I checked last it only worked with their Android and their Chrome clients so no love for iOS users.

Wire provides all of this, wrapped in beautifully designed apps (if currently a touch unstable)

The spy state already officially exists.

This is just theatrics. This can all be done behind closed doors without public involvement. The terms of this debate were chosen by the executive branch to vilify companies and individual supporters of encryption.

What the government wants is to have this debate in the open and for a large enough portion of the public to accept the argument the government should be able to break into your phone with a warrant.

The "with a warrant" clause is good cop - bad cop. The FBI is making the high road argument that all this is legit and above board and to fight terrorism. On the other hand the NSA is doing the dirty work and then oh by the way now the data they have collected is available to the FBI... You know to fight terrorism.
As Richard Teichmann said, "Chess is 99% tactics". If reading out sequences and applying relatively simple heuristics is all you are after, chess is the perfect game for you.

5 Mistakes When Trying to Build Muscle Mass
I don't want to be mean, but that's like saying you'll train a magic neural net with the mystical flavour of unicorn tears and then the era of making rainbows out of them will be finished. Or something.

I mean, come on- "the art of creating AI paradigms"? What is that even? You're going to find data on this, where, and train on it, how, exactly?

Sorry to take this out on you but the level of hand-waving and magical thinking is reaching critical mass lately, and it's starting to obscure the significance of the AlphaGo achievement.

Edit: not to mention, the crazy hype surrounding ANNs in the popular press (not least because it's the subject of SF stories, like someone notes above) risks killing nascent ideas and technologies that may well have the potential to be the next big breakthrough. If we end up to the point where everyone thinks all our AI problems are solved, if we just throw a few more neural layers to them, then we're in trouble. Hint: because they're not.
Not if you make OS specific syscalls. Your system has to account for the fact that not everybody runs on the same system. VMs do that, and do it far better than most compilers, when it comes to reliable cross-platform without doing a ton of re-writing.

I mean that sin and cos are tied to Pi in terms of their period. The antipode and catipode. So one might as well group all 3 quantities as Pi related. And if you merely take sin or cos into your formula because they are continuously differentiable periodic functions, then well, couldnt you have just taken something else and the Pi really loses its 'sanctity'? I'm on my phone but I'm starkly betting that there are Fourier transforms that use diff periodic functions instead of the trig ones. Maybe computable ones instead of symbolic, although I'd have to concede profundity if that is the case

Why Do Men Cheat? (…Secrets Revealed)
A reasonable reason for inquiry here is to actually try to make sure if they were part of some organized group. "Appear not to be" is not quite enough.

For a country that kills based on metadata[1], it seems quite far-fetched that they couldn't map out potentially interesting connections using just metadata.

Also, it would be pretty dumb to put any revealing data on a work phone with iCloud backups enabled (which is just not accessible due to the FBI's mistakes).

At any rate, this discussion is quite besides the point. Permitting this phone to be unlocked (or the hundred or so other phones mentioned) will open the floodgates for questionable regimes and a hunt for Apple's private key (more automation to handle requests will reduce security).

Slow sites are more than just HTML overload. Slow sites typically have additional HTTP requests (loading external CSS/JS files, AMP doesn't allow JS or external CSS files). They also load all images at once (AMP does lazy content loading). They don't cache as well as AMP does.

> Before AlphaGo existed, many of them thought it would be decades before a Go AI beat the best humans

To be fair, before the AlphaGo paper came out, many AI researchers thought the same. I'm not in that field, though I do have more than a passing interest. If you'd asked me in 2006, I'd have said we would have robot cars before we had a computer 9dan Go professional -- and that was before all the recent progress on robot cars. My AI researcher friends mostly would have agreed with that.
The content-based encryption argument is interesting, but I doubt we'll see any "certain use" laws. The problem/benefit of encryption is that if it's well designed then you have no idea what its contents are - mooting any content based restrictions.

We'll see how it goes though. I doubt the courts will be thrilled to do anything that circumscribes their own power.

Honest question: Why would it be horrible for everyone if the iPhone source code was leaked?
This doesn't mean toddlers are more dangerous than terrorists. It means there are more toddlers.

I don't think the internal logic of the argument works anyway. Do people react to terrorism solely because of the perception of present danger? I always thought terrorism was feared because it signalled that a group of people would prefer to dominate their host with violence than to assimilate into the predominant culture.

Increasing terrorism is a sign of increasing difficulties assimilating. The ultimate worry is that in 100 years our countries will be split into separate warring tribes.

Edit: Everybody is misunderstanding me. I'm not saying that "terrorists are more dangerous than toddlers!" or "gun control is bad!". I'm saying that people fear terrorism for different underlying reasons than its impact on fatality, and that understanding this will help communication between the right and left (perhaps allowing your arguments to be heard across political lines.)

By skimming through the code, this seems to have the same data-flow model as Intel's TBB, but extended to distributed memory configurations using MPI as backend.

Ulam spirals are maddening. I've played with them for years now, and the patterns are so close to predictable, but always break upon close inspection.

On the other hand, they create wonderful patterns. I'm getting a laser-cut Ulam spiral done to hang on my wall :-)

Your tone seems quite petty. The Bible's purpose is not to be a treatise on science; it is seeking to communicate deeper truths, not the exact nature or value of Pi. Knowing that Pi is an irrational number has not removed war, greed, nor poverty.

CSRF Protection – What, Why, How?
The TPM (where present) is analogous to the secure enclave, although the mechanism is a bit different. The ME is more of an "insecure exclave": it has a lot of access to the rest of the system, but the OS and userland cannot use it for anything useful. It's designed to allow access from outside over the network connection. Useful for ILM systems, but very frustrating for people who aren't in a datacenter and don't like it being there.
No, it really is alpha quality; it's not really usable even if you're willing to put up with bugs.
Ask HN: Why do people comment on an article?

1. Why do people comment on an article?
2. Why do they invest time in doing something, which they may not be able to retrieve later on?
You can think that. I disagree. That's fine. Good on you.

And yes, I did mis-attribute some problems with Scheme's implementation of MVR to common lisp. However, I admitted to the mistake in that thread, and eventually got the idea.

So please, don't confuse the issue. Here, I'm not talking just about lisp. I just don't like MVR in general. And yes, I think that a composite value is the only good way to produce multiple values. But I don't have an objection to WASM adding MVR, because it's compiler facing, as you pointed out. I object to higher lever languages adding it.

If I need to run Linux software, I can use an lx-branded zone inside of SmartOS, and run at the speed of bare metal while having ZFS, mdb, kdb, dbx and DTrace, CPU-bursting, and change kernel schedulers on the fly.

But then, as I am about to run Linux software inside of an lx-branded zone on SmartOS, I realize that SmartOS has 15,000 packages, with most the of the software I would have run on Linux, available natively on SmartOS:

I was wondering, is it still true (or ever was true)?

> It would be surprising if AlphaGo hadn't be trained on historic matches with Lee giving him an early edge until Lee can adapt.

This kind of learning doesn't work like that. It doesn't learn from specific examples, or make meaningful inferences from single data points. It learns tiny gradients from millions of examples. If we had an approach that could create a meaningfully distinct strategy depending on {whether we included or excluded {every game Lee Sedol has played in his life} from training}, that would be wildly more significant than just beating him.
The only thing I think that directly ties back to the Zimmermann case would be the public nature of this fight.
