Try doing so at normal speed.
Why is having more data that may offer a different perspective or new insight useless?
One of the biggest limits is the processing I think. Good algorithms try not to omit anything, but those also begin to blur vowels in to consonants. Fine-tuning of the window size helps (not sure if this was on the FFT or resynthesis part).

Close to the speed limit for understanding two things are difficult:

- personal names (especially of companies) and aberrations.

- a change of the speaker to someone who has a slightly higher speed or worse audio quality

Unavoidable and super annoying:

You don't understand the concept of liquidity.

Finance people (and anyone else with a hat full of brains) knows the difference between a market clearing price, and there being no liquidity.

No liquidity means: I can sell 500 of these shares per day (paintings, buildings) for price x but no higher - while at normal times I can sell 50,000 of these for price x but no higher.

>Actually, the A-10 is "broke" in the sense that it can no longer perform its mission in a modern air defense environment.

I'm sure that the A-10 can still perform its mission in a modern air defense environment, mainly due to the fact that the bulk of today's missions involve an enemy with limited resources, limited industrial capabilities, and limited technical skills.

> The current fleet is also old and wearing out.

I'm sure the US is quite capable of putting up a military aicraft program for a mark 2 version of the A10 thunderbolt, one which is focused on tackling the maintenance/cost issues of the current version and even increase the reliability of the whole airframe. The last four decades in the aviation field were very fertile with regards to technical progresses.

Amazing video, can't wait for the next one!

I have written my hello world algorithm, and I'm very happy about it =)

I have been meaning to start learning this stuff for a long time, but it's really hard, most of the resources are above the level I'm currently at.

This is so amazing to see an accessible course like this, I really hope they will keep it up. It would be a really fun thing to focus on it during this summer.
Keep in mind, that these videos don't teach you any machine learning. They teach you how to use programs, which perform machine learning for you.
This uses Node to call out to either "powershell.exe" (if on win32) or "zip". It assumes the correct executable can be found on the path. It also assumes the directory name does not contain a space or shell metacharacter.

For a more portable cross-platform .zip file creation, use Python's built-in "zipfile" module. There is even a simple command-line interface, which can be used like:

python -m zipfile -l $FILENAME

I don't see why you think it's a jump in logic. And I'm saying facts are racist. I'm not saying other things are not racist. I'm not really sure where you're leading with this point.

Let me be more concrete and give an example.

Blacks living in the U.S. have (in a statistical average sense) a higher sensitivity to sodium than whites, leading to higher rates of hypertension in that demographic. If you're a physician treating black patients or you're a black American yourself, this is an important fact to know. This is a racist fact, because it differentiates reality along racial fault lines.

There are plenty of examples of situations where I could get you to say that one course of action is the rational or best option, but if I keep the same logical structure and swap out some nouns and adjectives, what was once the best option is now racist, and I'm a racist if I take this course of action. I won't give any examples because they're too inflammatory, and I don't feel like getting downvoted into oblivion. I'm pretty sure you can fill in the blanks if you're so inclined.

Since realizing this, I no longer view "racist" as a derogatory. It's the way the world already is, so my choice is either to have an accurate view of reality or an impoverished one.

> each library uses its own curious dialect

That's the point of high-level languages - to create effective DSLs...

> There is no community consensus on the balance between the object-oriented and functional.

We mix it - there is neither functional nor oop camp at Scala, only objecto-functional - which makes our life easier with decent type and modular systems.

>But dealing with implicits

What's so hard about implicits? One of the easiest feature in PLT. It means to do things implicitly - implicitly waiting for a parameter, implicitly converting something or implicitly extending types with methods.

> language changes between versions

That's the point of versions - to release changes. And no, there aren't as many breaking changes to destroy your workflow if you didn't use any type-level magic.

> and "default" trait implementations (e.g. `val foo = Set()` is a simple example)

val foo = Set() means foo is an empty Set - why does it bother you? It helps to abstract your code and removes unwanted specializations. If you want to use concrete types nothing gonna stop you from that.

Where does it say that? I don't see any blog posts about the cancellation of Kestrel-4.
I first played Video Games, then modded them, then wrote my own.

For me that's a natural evolution and I find it hard to accept that in certain fields you are supposed to get in contact with the academical background first before jumping in to actual usage. It's like having to understand the detailed physics of an internal combustion engine before driving or before repairing the car.

The underlying assumption of "normal times" is what can cause problems with the concept of liquidity for assets that are rarely traded. E.g. if you define "normal times" as "the one transaction that occurred when I bought the asset".
> "Nothing about the project is really all that reasonable, considering FPGAs are nearly entirely proprietary across the board, and because it'd be super expensive to make something that is actually truly open."

The Kestrel-4 plans to use the ICE-40 as one of its platforms, and at the time of writing this the ICE-40 FPGA family is the most open of all FPGA devices (fully open source development toolchain, etc...).

>government owns most of their shares

I think you'll find that's not the case.
It's turtles all the way down, though.

How do we know that the firmware is actually erasing the block containing the encryption key?

Maybe it just leaves the block/key intact and alters the NVRAM key-address to point to another block or key-location, resulting in a history of every key used on the storage device.

In which case no matter how many times the device was secure-erased a well-equipped adversary could have ways to extract previous keys, either whilst the device is 'online' via undocumented commands, or whilst 'offline' with dedicated equipment.

The same 'destroy-the-key-not-the-data' procedure can be used from the user-controlled software level - Linux with LUKS/dm_crypt uses the same approach via the LUKS header, which can also be 'detached' - only stored on a different (possibly removable) device entirely.

As a bonus it is secure even against malicious (snooping) drive firmware since only encrypted data is seen by the I/O controller and storage device.
It's debatable if a startup could compete with netflix now (I'd say there are possibilities, like starting outside the US or just being backed by content creators). What's less ambiguous is that netflix could never have started without net neutrality.

If netflix has to "subsidize your verizon bill" that may be appealing at first (although I doubt you'll see any of that money). But why should verizon stop there? Why not cut out the middle man? Does verizon offer anything like netflix? Take a good look at that: it's what you're going to end up with, except that now they're still trying to complete with netflix. They won't have to do that if they're no longer required to carry netflix's traffic.

There are other options - first of all debt financing. Equity is tricky because of the principal agent problem. The manager or whoever contrlos the company can easily keep the profits low while paying himself or his friends much. There are some ways out:

a) strict management/information rules - so burdensome that it is available only for big companies - i.e. corporations

b) startups with scaling - that is high growth business - where growing is the only option for the manager

c) having a partner with money who takes part in the management
Glad to see someone being positive if 95% of the way down the comments. I agree with Microsoft that saying you can never say what the government it up to is a violation of free speech and only justified in extreme cases.
Depends on what you mean. If you're looking for a computer that can replace your daily driver, then yes it's years away from that. However, if you're looking for a new platform to explore and tinker with without needing FPGA knowledge, then it's close to that already.

You just echoed exactly what I said. Lack of liquidity is just another name for lack of demand at the price you want. You could certainly sell more than 500 shares if you started lowering the price.

Let me ask you a question (since you "have a hat full of brains"), would you value Tesla the same if they were able to generate sales for 500 cars at the current price rather than 50,000 at the current price?

If you can 'normally' sell 50000 units of something in a day at price X and suddenly you can only sell 500 units for price X, it means the demand is gone at that price point. Basic supply and demand applies to everyone, including people with hats full of brains.

Take any market that is in a "liquidity crunch", and cut the asking price by 90% of what you're trying to sell and see how quickly liquidity returns.

Long term capital management paid a hefty price to learn that no demand because of "lack of liquidity" is the same thing as no demand because people don't want to pay the asking price.

There is no such thing as "normal times", there are just current market conditions. Oil traded at close to $100 during "normal times" just a couple of years back. Coal companies were good investments 10 years back. There are lots of people waiting for the market to return to "normal times" that will be waiting a long time.
The mathematics of the model you end up using at the end of the day is such a small part of the overall picture when making use of machine learning.
Because something is printed in RT doesn't make it untrue. That something - critical of Russia's enemies - is only reported in RT and not in any other major new source - is a strong contender for being untrue.

For something to an example of the ad-hominem fallacy, it has to be discarded purely on the basis of the claimant. If something is being rejected on the basis that the claimant is unreliable and contradicts generally reliable sources, that is something quite different.

Are you asking how it who be decided who gets the money? I would suggest opening it up to both public debate and research; meaning we would need to learn what works best, and very possible there maybe no single right solution; for examples, cities and non-city area are different in my opinion.
Yes. I work on a backup app (Arq) that encrypts before uploading the data.
Forever war goes a lot less into the psychology of the individual and more into the societal psychology, but only barely because it takes place over such a huge timescale.

>That means that, in principle, if we eliminate out-group hate completely, we may also undermine in-group love. Empathy is a zero-sum game.

Oh rubbish. Look at Buddhist monk types and angry political extremist types. They do a pretty good job of loving everything and hating most things respectively.

I mean the article has a point that universal human empathy is not widespread and we should design systems accordingly but that's been common knowledge for centuries.

I have no idea of YC internal procedures. I will comment a bit on the concept of flat organizations.

IMO, it's much more efficient if each individual focuses on his domain and provides a single interface for the stakeholders for that facet of the enterprise.

The overhead of communication and context synchronization become ginormous as the organization grows and the issues affecting the enterprise grow in number if every decision is made on a flat basis. If the context synchronization is not made then the decisions made by the group will be less informed than that of an individual. For informed decisions, it would require then that each individual become an expert on the single issue discussed. This would effectively negate the main benefit of small teams - individual focus and small communications overhead.

Yeah, but not one of them would be able to put up a fight if we ever really wanted to kill it. We could murder every tiger inside a week if we really wanted to.
The Sony PSX (original Playstation) English dev docs were also pretty bad, IMO/IME. I worked at a game company in 1995-1997 where we were porting our PC title to PSX and to Saturn. I was leading the PSX project which eventually shipped and was an "OK" title (but nowhere near the then state-of-the-art IMO). The Saturn project was eventually cancelled as the team couldn't get enough performance out of the Saturn and really struggled to get much pace of development.

We were using a dev kit that I seem to recall was 3 ISA PCBs (though pictures on the internet now show only 2, so maybe my memory is faulty). There was also a "blue" physical playstation that would boot unencrypted disks, so if we were willing to go through a full CD burn cycle, you could test there, which is how we did QA and potential golden master testing, but most development was on the ISA cards.

Compilation toolchain was gcc-based, and we did almost all of our debugging with printf. :)

Most interesting to me technical tidbit: We did build our own pre-emptive interrupt system to ensure we could run the game physics engine at either 15 or 30 Hz (technically slightly less, as it was on the NTSC vertical blank). Sony support said it wasn't possible... ;)

To the extent Sony won that round of console wars, I don't think it was on the quality of documentation, at least not the English translations.
This is so false. Applying machine learning to a real world problem requires correct intuition and the ability to quantify tradeoffs mathematically. This is developed by understanding the math behind the model and what the tradeoffs are.
This is awesome! I'm an avid listener of podcasts, because I can learn stuff, listen to great people and interviews, broaden my ideas... All during what would otherwise be downtime (walking the dog, grocery shopping, driving, etc.)

There are some podcasts which I consider vital, but for most I don't care about the podcast itself but for the content of a given episode.

This app is awesome because it detaches content from podcast and helps discover cool episodes.

Wish you lots of luck!

Depends on what do you call the "story". In Skyrim in particular, I considered the main quest only a small part of overall game story, and not the most important one. Side-quests, random NPC dialogue, even books — they all build up the story of althe world together, and your experience with it is unique and definetly not a track ride. On the other hand, sequence of building a fortress in DF feels like a track ride after a while: first depot, first bedrooms, first food production, crafts, caves, military, trade, then CLOWNS and CIRCUS (as they're talked about to avoid the spoilers) if you're lucky enough. Procedural generation is fun for a while, but it has a limited amount of variety in it.

Firstly, no-one is suggesting we get rid of the hard programming. But actually, I disagree with your point of view.

I do research into A.I., and often work with companies. I find problem fall into 3 categories. Approximately:

50% of problems are extremely trivial problems which we've know how to solve for at least 10 years, we just need to help the companies use the existing techniques.

15% of problems require techniques from the last 10 years or so, so require extensive up-to-date expertise but aren't interesting research.

5% of problems are interesting, hard problems which lead to interesting research problems.

30% of problems are so far beyond the state of the art they are impossible.

Helping people in that first 50% solve their problems without having to talk to us is an interesting area. At the moment they use tools like Excel and Microsoft Access. I believe there must be better tools for those problems, which aren't any more complicated. Why can't my mother easily produce (for a concrete example) create and update a schedule for her darts league, without needing me to help?
