That's exactly why it's using a neural net and yes, a lot of text will fix this problem. The only reason why we know cats meow and rugs don't is by learning about cats and rugs. Throw enough training data at it and the parser will figure out what is meowing.

An interesting example of this you can easily try for yourself is playing with Google's voice to text features--if you say silly things like "the rug meowed" you will have terrible results because no matter how clearly it can hear you its training data tells it that makes no sense.

LOC correlates to complexity, and they reduced it by 1000x. Complexity kills progress. We made progress in physics when Maxwell's equations elegantly simplified enormously important phenomena. They're trying to find that simplification for software.
Thank you very much for the explanation. I think I get the point but remain skeptical. Is knowledge (even a totally man-made subdomain like OS/App) fundamentally scattered in nature, or can be modelled in the scale of 0.1% of the original size?

It's kind of odd that Alan Kay, the visionary of DynaBook, who advocates the importance of exchanging of ideas, has the belief that a single man should be able to handle thing of the scale of industry. Karl Max believes in social labour division, and I think he is right.

The command I whipped up is, by definition, a one-liner meant for situations where the file movement is known by the person wishing to perform it and done interactively.

As to the portability of it, yes this is not portable as the syntax relies on substitution syntax supported by a limited number of Unix shells (bash and ksh spring to mind, others may support it too though).

Since the OP specifically mentioned:

mv foo.bar foo.baz

And you pointed out CMD's 'ren' command, the incantation I put forth seemed apropos. YMMV.
In general, one concern is that criminal suspects might threaten victims with violence to get them to withdraw their support for a prosecution. The legal system also uses this concern to justify legally-compelled testimony.
I dont know where you heard that, because that is not what the ICANN wiki says: https://icannwiki.com/GTLD_Auctions

"ICANN condones private auctions, as it has encouraged applicants to resolve contention themselves, presumably through buy-outs, partnerships, and auctions. ICANN offers its own auction model as a last resort. All proceeds from gTLDs auctioned off under ICANN's auction model will go to ICANN as "excess funds" that will be redistributed at a later date, in ways that are yet to be determined.[2] "

"The first ICANN auction of last resort was concluded on 4 June 2014 for the string .信息 which had two applicants. The winning price was $600,000 US Dollars. ICANN used their authorized auction services provider Power Auctions, LLC to carry out the auctions."

So looks like you are incorrect.

That is not necessarily true. The problem of ambiguity is fundamental to natural language processing, and a lot of research goes in to addressing it. If we also see a sentence where unambiguously the word "cat" is the subject of the verb "meow", then this could give our parser clues about ambiguous attachment or, in this case, anaphora resolution (to what does "it" refer). In any intro NLP class, you will learn about lexicalized parsing, which takes the head word of the phrase into account when making parsing decisions. I haven't read the paper on this parser yet, but I don't think it is hard to see that your sentence could be accurately parsed given enough data. Look up "word embeddings" for instance, which are fundamental to deep learning for NLP and could probably be trained to assist in disambiguating anaphora or attachment.

> So, according to that source, out of state coal consumption can range from 5% to 50%. It doesn't say exactly when the 50% figure was hit, or why.

The quote is from the Southern California Public Power Agency (SCPPA). Their members include LADWP, Anaheim, and other municipal power agencies. The 50% of which he speaks is, like others have noted, for demand (not energy), but only for SCPPA, not all of California. The < 5% is for all of California.
Doesn't even have to be commercial spam. With classic hits like Santorum and mission accomplished, I'd think they'd be grateful for a little auditable curation.
This is exactly the type of problem that a good parser should be able to solve, and training a parser on lots of data and throwing neural nets may indeed be a viable solution. Why wouldn't it be? The article describes how their architecture can help make sense of ambiguity.

In terms of a basic probabilistic model, P(meow | rug) would be far lower than P(meow | cat), and that alone would be enough to influence the parser to make the correct decision. Now, if the sentence were "The cat sat on the rug. It was furry", that would be more ambiguous, just like it is for an actual human to decode. But models trained on real-world data do learn about the world.
Perhaps he is not conflating them but asserting that, for named categories, there is no truth to membership of an item in them beyond the probability that an observer will ascribe an item to the named category.
You feel compassion for someone who knowingly attempted to peddle a medical product just shy of snake oil, only to have it blow up in their face?

Their product was absurdly broken, and the results were essentially a coin flip (I believe the FDA said results were accurate around 50% of the time). They wanted real doctors and patients to base important medical decisions off of this...

This strikes me as interesting, if only because it says something about the audience of Facebook users.

Sense of community aside, the reason I keep coming back to HN is because I trust that the audience will upvote stories that are interesting to me.

I guess because Facebook has such wide community demographics, it can't rely on its users to do the policing.
I personally think that if you're good at something you should never do it for free, charity work notwithstanding of course. In your case, I don't really understand your reasoning/correlation between wanting to travel and offering your AWS skills free of charge. You can always find early stage startups that are looking for someone to setup their system on AWS, and willing to pay for it, in any of the cities that you've listed. They might want a one-time job (think freelance).

Why wouldn't you offer a paid service?
Your mental model is pretty accurate for a rough sketch. Those terms are all used in a similar manner depending on who you talk to.

Personally, I go with the most general usage of API: an interface to interact with programmatically.
This is Alan Kay and other computer scientists having a bit of an academic wank. It says up at the top that this work is not intended to replace conventional operating systems and applications, but to speculate.

Old-school coders lament that the last completely understandable computer was some model by Commodore -- the C64 or Amiga, depending on whom you ask. Computers used to ship with complete schematic diagrams and enough documentation that you could know what every byte of system code did and where every I/O register was and what they did. These days, not so much -- before the massive, proprietary OS kernel even gets loaded there are many hardware and firmware interfaces to be navigated, many of them protected by patent IP laws and only available under NDA, if at all.

The intent of the STEPS paper is to explore possible answers to the question "how powerful a system can we build with modern tech, that is still completely comprehensible by a single person?"
When I was an undergrad (a few years ago), we had a visiting lecturer[1] who taught journalism classes mostly for the newspaper folks on campus. Well prior to consumer VCRs, he had students tape a wide range of political ads and other political-related video. It was really interesting having access to all this stuff in a pre-YouTube and Internet Archive era.

Maybe Facebook should just kill trending.

It's raison d'etre is to expose people to stories beyond the narrow bubble of their news feed. But apparently people don't like the idea of using human curation to get well-balanced stories in front of readers, so it would be much better if people only spent time reading cat videos in news feed.

Also, people need to make a clearer distinction between the trending topics view and news feed. They're separate products with different algorithms entirely.
Isn't this what one deserves if one tries to peddle something that doesn't work to investors, and then gets hundreds of millions of dollars for it?

There is only one society, and its members ought to have freedom of speech and assembly amongst themselves. Facebook, just like the Internet, is a platform, and it should allow free speech, even if products that are built on top of that platform themselves don't. It seems to be in the nature of networks to be a monopoly; if Facebook or Internet weren't a monopoly, perhaps competing networks could provide free speech and Facebook and Internet could be fully censored. But as it is, censorship and bans diminish the freedoms of speech & assembly of the users.

Disclaimer: We're doing something similar at https://anvil.works (live web-app builder, though ours is drag'n'drop), so I ask from experience:

1. I see your sample app uses in-memory state on the back end. This is jaw-droppingly easy for simple examples, but dies whenever the Node instance "goes to sleep". Do you have plans for more durable storage? (I assume so, given that you're self-hosting - what do you use for your own storage?)

2. How do you sandbox user code? I'm going to guess "docker" but there's only so much poking around I'm going to do uninvited. I'm also guessing that allowing random users to run code (with outbound internet access?) on your servers is something you're going to have to be nice and careful with...
I think it depends on the crime.

My main issue is that it leaves open an opportunity to intimidate the victim into waiving the prosecution. Sometimes it is helpful to look at extremes to highlight the point: if a young child was abused by a patent, then was influenced by the parent who didn't abuse them this would be unjust.

In a more everyday case, if a woman is beaten by her partner and it is witnessed, I feel that person should be prosecuted regardless of the feelings of the victim - domestic violence, in my view, is often perpetuated because a spouse or partner will not speak up - normally because they are psychologically dependent on their abuser.

These are obviously crimes of violence. If a crime is committed against a corporation, on the other hand then I think that they should be allowed to waive the prosecution.

America is swimming in natural gas -- we are a net exporter. Natural gas requires nearly no refinement, and is locally produced, so the additional energy required to make it available to customers is much smaller. It also produces less CO2 per unit of energy than most other fossil fuels, since it has a very high ratio of hydrogen to carbon. When it burns, you get 2 water molecules and 1 CO2, vs say decane where you get 11 water molecules and 10 CO2.
My best guess is that this is to circumvent issues with naming encountered by using decorated functions in conjunction with multiprocessing pools. Typically you would run into serialization errors.
I think it is absurd to think that the paper is not impressive. The rendered output shows no sign of corners being cut - it is nicely laid out and has well made graphics. It's about as good as TeX output, and the system is doing far more work to get to the point where it can render. The same size team and schedule with a more conventional approach might make something like Word in a similar amount of time, but without the underlying flexibility.
As mentioned in other comments - powershell terminal is your terminal. As for the issue - if you can't define what files have what encoding, how do you expect git to know it?

What you can do is apply the binary filter I posted to all files and write a script which attempts to guess encoding and then translates that to utf16 with iconv. But expect funny failures from time to time (sometimes more than one decode may be valid)
Agreed. However, isn't it possible that there are some crimes where this isn't really an issue, such as circumventing DRM?

At my previous company we used a crappy piece of software (Trackstar) to record our goals and accomplishments twice a year. It asked us a few questions and provided options for long form response and multiple choice. Supposedly this was used for performance bonuses and ratings. One problem I always had was that my review was based off what I could remember, which seemed like a bad way to do things. I could have possibly been negatively impacted if I did something and I couldn't remember it. I always wanted something that could keep track of my accomplishments in the background, and help set goals on the fly, then when the 6-month eval came around, it would collect all the feedback objectively and report it back to me. My hack was to periodically (about once a month or so) search my e-mail inbox for weekly updates I provided for my boss, summarize them, and keep a record in Evernote. God that was terrible.
I think they are on the wrong track of simplification. In this industry, simplification does not come from elegant abstraction, technology or deep thinking, but obsoletion and concentration. When I first touched Internet, there were 6 protocols and now only 1 survived.

The latter. The standard does not specify the interface that the DRM blobs talk to the browser, or even that it's an interface at all as opposed to a built in feature of a proprietary browser.
Haha, having mucked around with similar mechanisms for dealing with concurrency via decorators I have to agree with you that this is likely to cause hard to debug behavior (especially since direct modification of the AST is going on behind the scenes here). That being said, it's an interesting thought experiment and likely an excellent class project.

It helps if you don't buy in to a giant framework. If you do, you end up saddled with all the bad ideas that were in circulation whenever it was released, as this post points out. My team has been using roughly the same setup for over a year now - not because we hate it and are stuck with it but because we like it.

Also, most everything we write presents an external interface of either an EventEmitter or a stream, which are well-understood Node concepts. (You might argue streams could stand to be a bit better-understood... fair enough.) Then the implementation details can change and it doesn't matter because everyone knows how to listen to an EE or pipe into a stream.

Ask HN: How many of you have to log hours?
Hi

I am a programmer and in my job I need to log all my hours against tasks in Jira, and submit that did the 40h.

Sometimes I don't like it because something takes longer than it should then I get pulled up on it. Sometimes the reason is I had a bad day couldn't concentrate etc. But it isn't good to say that so I need to invent an excuse.

My last job was similar and I really dislike it because it can only be bad for the programmer. Especially given how hard it is to estimate stuff.

Btw this is product dev work not billed out to client work. Those jobs I purposely avoid.
I just switched to Microsoft's Flow, but the search and emoji search caused me to switch to this. Very nice!
To my ear, "full" technocracy would be purely empirical, without any reliance on ideology that cannot be shown to be critically necessary. In all other cases absent a clear and present danger, when empirical clarity is unavailable, the only action is to do nothing. And I'd be prepared to accept consistency with the legal code as a version of "empirical". Prohibition had some measure of empirical support, but was legally completely indefensible.

Alleged "Soviet" technocracy just wasn't - it subsumed all science to the One True Theory which was Communism. Indeed, it's the poster child for what I'd be against. I mean Lamarckianism? It has to be real science.

The Coase theorem explicitly excludes consideration of transaction costs, in the same way constants get dropped in differential equations.

But my native tendency is to underplay externalities anyway, because it's too hard to get intersubjective agreement on them. This goes to this peculiar property of norms to get weird when attempts to stack them on top of each other occurs. How was it that "state's rights" led to lynchings anyway? Because they linked "Southern Honor" and States Rights in this incoherent manner to produce Jim Crow. Sixth-graders - most of them - could argue that away.

Finally, what is the role of government? To enforce and modify law. The minimal role is to enforce land claims, prosecute criminal acts and enforce contracts. Actions of government should not create norms. Anything you can manage beyond that should be a source of skepticism.
Or train it to predict code in a code base conditioned on the rest of the code in that same code base. That way, when you condition it on your current code base, it might be able to generate sensible completions that could actually be useful.
