if you want to maximize sustained burn you need to use more muscle groups. Being limited to how much oxegen you can supply to your legs is a major limitation.

Rowing is a good example of this, but as 110kg is easily twice the power output of biking you can drop down to 50% max lift range and be limited by oxigen not mussel damage.

Or put another way top weightlifter need to eat significantly more than top bikers who top out at around 8k cal per day.

Your objections were presented to the Supreme Court, who decided they were not actually un-Constitutional in Eldred v. Ashcroft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eldred_v._Ashcroft . You won't be the first to disagree with a Supreme Court decision. But the only recourse you have is get the courts change their mind in the future, or amend the Constitution.

I have a hard time empathizing with an argument which, with the change of a few ephemeral names, Mad Libs style, could have been said at any time in the last 200 years.

The statement "thing have significantly changed in the last several thirty years" has been true for centuries. People in the the 1950s, or 1910s, or 1870s, could and likely did say the same thing.

Nor is your rhetoric about "openness and transparency" unique to these last two decades. Look to the populists and muckrakers from around 1900s as effective proponents of that. Look to the newspapers of the late 1800s, when the Linotype made it possible to have cheap newspapers, and look to the growth of wire services and the telephone, radio, and television, as recent examples of other technologies which have "radically changed a lot of people's views about freedom of expression and ideas."

I think think this varies very much between different "cultures", such as different countries and different fields.

I make a structural engineering program which is used by pretty senior engineering types in Scandinavia and Germany, who can certainly be trusted to know that with some nonsense input, the output may also be nonsense.

The requirements for the UK are completely different - they want the program to be used not as a tool (like a fancy calculator) but as a simple black box that a novice engineer or even a non-engineer can use.

> As I mentioned elsewhere I have a baytrail tablet, and that thing is amazing.

Really? How?

I bought a Dell Venue 8 Pro, and the only advantage I can see that it has over any ARM part is the ability for me to play x86 Steam games from 10 years ago on it.

The sleep power consumption sucks. While I can leave an ARM-based Android tablet with the screen off for a week, and it will still have enough charge to be useful, my Venue 8 Pro is dead after about 24 hours in sleep mode.

Linux is still broken on Bay Trail-T. None of the wireless drivers are in mainline, and modesetting doesn't work, so enjoy using only frame buffer graphics. This is ~2 years after Intel launched the platform!

I haven't found any manufacturer making a Bay Trail-T tablet with dual band WiFi, while loads of ARM based tablets are including it.

I've been looking into Cherry Trail, since the X5-Z8500 has a pretty decent GPU, but user forums all over the internet are talking about how it goes into thermal throttling because the fanless cooling solution that Intel has touted to OEMs doesn't work when the chip is under heavy load for extended periods of time.

Again, compare to pretty much any ARM based tablet (not Snapdragon 810 based) and you won't have thermal throttling issues crippling your performance.

So, yes, Intel's tablet chips are alright for running x86 apps. I can definitely run Office on my Venue, but then I need a mouse and keyboard to do any real work, so why wouldn't I just buy a laptop which has longer battery life, more RAM, and a CPU which doesn't cripple itself under load?

Thats not really a good comparison as Intel was back in the game then (Core 2 processors were popular, and the Pentiums were just lower end versions of that keeping the brand alive).

The Pentium 4 519K from 2004, part of the Prescott (90nm) family, would be a good comparison. I think it was the first CPU that was easily overclockable to 4GHz, or in extreme cases 6Ghz (with enough water cooling).

Sadly it's not on that site (or at least I can't find it on mobile).

> never going to actually implement anything like a car on an animal in a real program.

Did you mean "on" or "or"?

Using OOP to implement a vehicle is a no-brainer. It's a completely standard model for games.

Extending the animal class to make a car would be weird though.

One point of OOP isn't that you make classes, but that the classes you make can be easily duplicated and automated.

So you can make an animal with a few simple behaviours, use your animal prototype to make a herd or flock, and suddenly you've got emergent semi-intelligence, which you can define by changing a few lines in the prototype.

It's not just a way of giving properties to something that's kind of like a real object - it's a way of simplifying automation and bulk updates of related entities.
It's not that simple. Open source implies the source is out there for anyone to study. Free software is not necessarily free of charge and readily available.

Nothing prevents you from paywalling a GPL program as long as you distribute sources to legitimate users on request. Free as in freedom, not as in beer.

I may be wrong on the specific case of Pentadactyl. But as a user I am happy to be wrong in this case. I love that extension

However, there are many extensions that won't be possible in the new extension environment and they will die a silent death as they don't have cheerleaders who can force Mozilla to accommodate them in the new webextension plans; I know one or two such extensions myself (don't use them personally, so I may be wrong, may be not). This forced euthanasia of extensions make FF ecosystem poorer, and FF just another Chrome wannabe.

The point is, Mozilla should show the traits of leader; criticism still has merit whether Vimperator work or not.

Hogwash! While there is certainly some truth to what you say and how "Deep Learning" has become mainstream in NLP over the last two years, it is far from as easy as you portray it to be.

The key paradigm shift has been in the downplay (not removal, mind you) of hand-crafted features and moving away from imposing constraints on your model. State-of-the-art NLP research, in general, no longer tends to spend time coming up with new indicator features, coming up with clever constraints, or finding ways of training models that require approximation techniques to even be feasible computationally. Instead, models tend to learn in an end-to-end fashion, where manipulating the model structure is significantly easier and we now learn features as opposed to specify them by hand. This is great and something I am happy to be a part of, but, if you want state-of-the-art results it is still fairly common to mix in some "old-school" features as well, just to squeeze that very last bit of performance out of your model.

It is also not fair to say "without any prior knowledge". Even if you train a parser in the new paradigm (like Vinyals et al. (2014)), you still need to supply your model with training data describing syntactic structure, this data was largely constructed by linguists in the 90s. The same thing goes for pretty much any NLP task beyond simple lexical semantics. We also knew that distributional features were useful even before the "Deep Learning" revolution, see Turian et al. (2010) for example, where the "Deep Learning" methods of that time were defeated by an "old-school" co-occurrence clustering method from the early 90s. Heck, the whole idea of distributional semantics was alive and well throughout the early 2000s and can trace its roots back to work such as Harris (1954) and arguably even the later Wittgenstein.

Note that I am saying all of this as a "Deep Learner" that has been pushing this agenda for about four years now, and I will continue to work along these lines since I think that "Deep Learning" (or rather Representation Learning) is currently the best approach for semantics in NLP. But hype is dangerous, even if it in many ways supports my cause.

Something about margins I don't get: Intel's Gross margin is about 80%. In the fabless ecosystem, the fab usually gets 50% and quallcom is usually above 50% , something even 65% .

So the total combined margin is as high as Intel or more. So why does Intel fail?

This looks like a trend for certain types of services that focus on users active predominantly on a tablet and/or smartphone. I am assuming that these services usually turn a profit via monetisation of advertising 'eyeballs' or user data acquisition and sales, and that losing a small percentage of users who want to use their service with a browser are less profitable.

WhatsApp seems similar in that regard.

I am not particularly interested in these apps, but I am starting to see a disturbing pattern where parts of the internet are being segregated by operating system and the willingness to install and run software (apps) instead of accessing on-line services with a web browser or via open protocols (e.g., IMAP or XMPP).

Capitalism + Nepotism = Capitalism
Sometimes such regulations are good, sometimes they're not. If some company makes a bad decision then it hurts that company and gives advantage to other companies. If regulator makes a bad decision, there is no escape from it and there are completely no consequences for him.

Often it's even hard to tell if something is going to turn out to be a good decision or bad. So even ignoring potential corruption or incompetence and assuming best intentions, it's still seems better to me not to depend on a single entity.

Apparently you are not familiar with the (bumpy!) history of Xamarin's technology. Now that it's open source, you can actually trace lines of code from Xamarin Platform and Xamarin Forms and the Xamarin Profiler back to the early Mono and Unity days. They were a small team that bit off way more than they can chew, delivered more than seems possible even today, and gradually tightened their focus to mobile.

Now they are open source and have Microsoft fully behind them. I wasted a ton of time and money and performance running under Mono on Linux when I should've just used Windows server. But I got it back using Xamarin Platform on two recent large-scale mobile development efforts.

You win some, you lose some, and eventually you develop the maturity not to claim an entire industry had the same exact failures you did to make yourself feel better. Good luck.

Of course I'm aware of how ARM operates. We have the sales figures from 2013 as well, and Intel is larger than the ARM partners combined. However I think that just indicates that (a) ARM processors are lower featured and hence cheaper and (b) there's real competion in the ARM processor market which is mostly absent from the x86 market.

What generalisation? The comment is they gain the most, and that they have the ability to exploit it. That's a statement of fact. You could similarly say that men are the most likely to benefit from sexism, and are positioned best ot exploit it due to the historical sexism against women. It's not saying all men are sexist, just that they are the ones likely to benefit.

The article directly talks about your 70% figure, and explains why it's misleading. I also don't get why we should care about the 'fairness' of it. We don't allow people to do anything they want for the benefit of society - that can include not allowing people to hoard money if we want.

As to your latter points, just because they pay a lot doesn't mean they pay enough, and employing people isn't a 'gift' to society - it's something they do to gain benefit themselves. Yes, it's a behaviour we should encourage, but it isn't somehow equivalent to paying tax.
