In fact, "expert systems" were built around this principle, though generally more in the industrial context.

I don't think that the way knowledge transfer is structured for humans is by default distinct from how we would do it for AI in the long term, but that's a pretty wide range of pedagogy so some tasks make more sense than others for the state of the art today.

In fact the way we train ANN/CNN is similar to how infants & toddlers do early classification. Frank Guerin at the university of Aberdeen has done some study in this area that is in it's early stages.

As far as I know there have not been efforts to set up schools to train AI's from the general population.

The closest thing to it are the efforts by Google and Facebook to train their classifiers (facial recognition, text detection etc...). We are working on an internal process that uses user input to classify objects in the home (furnishings mostly) for auto segmentation and detection.

I would try to arrange testing before starting therapy, or at least at the point of starting therapy. There are labs that will run the test for a few hundred dollars (and a lot less if you know someone at a university, it could even be an analytical chemists' bachelor degree project).
I'm curious why you would label the transfer from the Chinese poor to the American poor as a net loss morally? Is the transfer from the American poor to the Chinese poor also morally suspect?

I'm not trying to be argumentative, just genuinely curious about your statement. Is it a moral loss because the American poor are still relatively better off than their Chinese counterparts or something else?
It's nice to see this work taking Doppio into new places. For an overview of Doppio, BrowserFS and the DoppioJVM, here's a video presentation mostly based on a talk given by John Vilk at PLDI 2014. Unfortunately, there's no audio, but the slides should be easy enough to follow.

From VicRoads: The list is primarily determined by assessing the power-to-weight ratio and engine capacity of motorcycles. If the power-to-weight ratio of a motorcycle exceeds 150 kilowatts per tonne or the engine capacity exceeds 660cc, the motorcycle will not be included on the list. Motorcycles may also be excluded from the LAMS list if they have other characteristics that make them unsuitable for learners, for example, being found to be overrepresented in crashes.

I believe the limit is 660cc in other states too.

At any rate, it's a bit of a moot point because all electric motorcycles are LAMS-approved and their acceleration is absolutely ridiculous.
Yes, way to go! There are honest online pharmacies, but finding them is nontrivial. And there are numerous competent generics manufacturers in India. They've captured a large share of the global generics market in recent years.

The burden is on the claim, not on those pointing out that the claim isn't accepted.
> So, it wasn't surprising to me to learn that the Grand Masters are Grand Masters because of their memorization of opening sequences, the depth of that memorization, and when to use which variation.

This is not true. Opening knowledge is a common deciding factor in games between GMs, but that's only because they're already so good at everything else. A low GM actually probably has a smaller skill margin over other players in terms of openings than in other areas of the game: as someone that's arguably a decent amateur (~2200 USCF) and has played against several GMs, I would prefer my chances in a game where we both have our opening knowledge versus one where neither of us has opening knowledge.
There's also the factor that web-designers generally do their work on high-quality, big monitors (and an environment that doesn't impair viewing, etc etc). Some of them probably do test their designs on other monitors? Like you'd maybe also test your web-application on a low-powered machine.

Anyway, a lot of them probably also don't, but still a lot of the general public has less than optimal viewing conditions.

And ashwoods, I'd also be interested in that research if you can dig up that you find particularly illustrative.

> but nobody in the security industry will employ him because they (rightfully so) consider prison guards to be tainted by corruption.

Just to elaborate, there are a few factors that go into prison guards having a hard time pursuing other employment:

1. Prison guard shifts are often extremely understaffed, which leads to a large amount of buddy-buddy interaction with inmates. "Hey, don't cause trouble on my end, and I'll turn a blind eye to minor (and sometimes major) shenanigans." It's often necessary for the job; inmates can make a prison guard's life hell just by being inmates. It's necessary for a prison guard position, but no security company is going to want to hire someone who happily bends the rules for expediency.

2. The extremely unpleasant nature of the job means that there are three large categories of people who take corrections jobs: the dregs who couldn't get onto a police force, the sadistic fucks who revel in the opportunity to have power over others, and the people who live out in the middle of nowhere who are happy for any employment. The only people whom you'd want to hire from the prison are the third kind, and they're likely to turn you down because they want to stay in Pigknuckle, where there aren't any security jobs.

This, hilariously, leads to an interesting "apprenticeship" program to try to detract a little from this - some states require all prospective police officers to spend a couple years as COs. This is intended to make it so that not everyone wearing a uniform is a shitbag, as there are going to be a whole bunch of idealistic, intelligent, driven people who are becoming police officers of high-standard districts. The problem, of course, is that a lot of these guys quickly get a draftee mindset. "Yep, it's more fucked up than a left-handed football bat here, but I'm only here for two years."

3. The stress of the job leads to balanced, stable people getting the fuck out, leaving the dysfunctional trainwrecks. Infidelity is rampant, drama is endemic among the staff, etc. No one wants those people.

Source: Girlfriend was a corrections nurse for a couple years to get experience, (local hospital had a glut of nurses and wasn't hiring) still has a lot of CO friends. They're an interesting group of people.

By the way, this dynamic hits anywhere that involves dealing with unpleasantness and doesn't pay good money. Inner-city teachers and retirement home care staff have the exact same problems.

Indeed, I am referring to a type of sprawl commonly seen in, for example, new Sun Belt development. But that's a mouthful to put in an article title.

I tried to make that as clear as possible in the article by contrasting with "older" and "traditional" neighbourhoods, and by enumerating the cities that exemplify the phenomenon I am referring to.

At the same time, it's hardly a marginal phenomenon. As far as I can tell, it's what a large percentage of inhabited areas in the US look like.
Celeb-Backed BlackJet Is Grounded. Again
The idea that a protected class as defined by US Federal Law can be determined by a "consistent limit [to] be applied in general" is a categorical misunderstanding of the term protected class. Furthermore, the designation of a protected class is hardly the outcome of "(mostly) arbitrary limits".

A quick visit to the link I provided in my earlier comment shows a diverse range of peoples grouped together as protected classes

• Race

• Color

• Religion

• Nationality

• Age

• Sex

• Pregnancy

• Citizenship

• Familial status

• Veteran status

• Genetic information

These groups are not identified by any "consistent limit" but by a wide range of legislation and case law. Protected classes are defined by the judicious and careful application of expert legal opinion among practitioners of jurisprudence and writers of US Federal legislation, practitioners who include but are not limited to Senators, members of Congress, scholars, historians, judges, attorneys, and expert witnesses.

In other words, there is no way to apply a rigid set of parameters ("consistent limit") to find what group of people should constitute a protected class.

Additionally, there are many considerations in establishing a protected class, some of those being whether membership in such a class is voluntary as well as whether members of a proposed protected class have historically, culturally, and socioeconomically been subject to unjust discrimination.

Now, whether non-medallion owning contractors ought to be a protected class I cannot say, but I can say that such a designation will not come from facile calls for consistency in determining members of a protected class.

Your sentence makes no sense. If not war, what then, and why not. And of what metaphoric blood are you talking that decendants inherit? Your metaphor is too incomplete to make sense of.
That doesn't say you have to visit people in prison, just that it's a good thing to do. It also doesn't say anything against video conferences.
It's called spoilation of evidence:

> The spoliation of evidence is the intentional, reckless, or negligent withholding, hiding, altering, fabricating, or destroying of evidence relevant to a legal proceeding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoliation_of_evidence

And an illegitimate evidence chain is called "fruit of the poisonous tree."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_of_the_poisonous_tree

That said, the proof of a "poisonous tree" is itself difficult/impossible to obtain through legal means. Generally the message they send to anyone attempting to reveal the illicit nature of the evidence is told "even if you try, your proof will guaranteed to be inadmissible."
Ok, done. Thanks.
I am not saying it's an official stance or such, not saying you are someone who would say that, but don't tell me "nobody says that" when that was what I got multiple times from emacs users.

If I hadn't then why would I say so?

I worked on one of the old interferon drugs before Sovaldi/Harvoni came along.

They sucked.

Patient compliance was low due to the side effects. From what I've heard, it was like having the flu everyday for duration of treatment.

I don't think that the parent's comment regarding the possibility of Trump being right on this issue necessarily implies their overall support of him.

I doubt there are many politician who's stances you agree with 100% of the time. There probably aren't too many you disagree with completely either.

Please don't take this as an endorsement of Trump though. Also, I am certainly not one of the "smart folk" so I could be wrong in my interpretation of your comment.
I'm conflicted about this article. On the one hand, the pharmaceutical companies gouging ordinary Americans is abominable. Doing something to circumvent their greed is something to support.

On the other hand, if enough people exploit loopholes like this, and the pharma company actually felt a significant drain in revenue, they may decide not to license the manufacture of these drugs in India at lower prices. If $84,000 seems unreasonably high in the US, imagine how out of reach it will be in India, where the cost of living is much lower.
You may be correct technically. I'm not familiar with the formal definition of "confidence intervals" in statistics. Informally we often speak of confidence as an estimate of the conditional probability P( C | x ) where C is the class returned by a classifier and x is the input. That's what I thought the parent comment was referring to but I may have been mistaken.

EDIT: For my own information what would knowing the confidence intervals tell you that P( C | x ) wouldn't ?
Spent the first part of my career doing infosec and I've noticed that there is less and less real information out there. The early/mid part of last decade seemed like a golden age of knowledge sharing, some really good books, great blogs, some of which were even corporate.

I don't know whether to blame it on the influx of money into the space, the death of RSS, or the ever shrinking number of people who understand the details of modern RCE but finding quality content with any regularity has been extremely hard to come by.

Once very very small step closer to the dream of Larry Niven's "Autodoc".
Yeah, actually it works more as a contextual dictionary now, so you can look up words or expressions and you get dialogues in which these occur (with some movie metadata as an extra). There is no functionality yet to search for dialogues in a given movie. It seems though that there is quiet a demand for such a feature, so I might add it soon. :)
Yeah. Reality doesn't really work like that.
Right now US citizens are basically subsidizing other countries when it comes to drug revenue via price gouging. I would rather it be done via some other more explicit mechanism (e.g. India government subsidies) rather than at the expense of poor healthcare availability to people in the US.
RFRAs are a very useful meta-law which do things like, say, prevent prisons from requiring Muslims to shave their beards, or requiring the Jews to eat non-kosher food like pork byproducts in the prison cafeteria (or face starvation). It also prevents the Feds from raiding an Apache powwow and seizing the eagle feathers and fining the dancers hundreds of thousands of dollars. (Actual court case.)

The ACLU used to support RFRA cases quite often.

Prevention of animal cruelty is a compelling interest and can in fact be enforced under RFRAs, using the least-restrictive means possible.
I think udp vs tcp is debatable depending on the kind of data. If you are collecting continuous telemetry, losing a few may not be end of the world. Of course, YMMD so you should pick a database based on your objective.

> Optimizing your network stack when your bottleneck is disk io doesn't buy you much.

Agree but also the famous "depends." If you are collecting A LOT of data over the network, first makes sure your network card is capable of handling the incoming traffic. An anology would be a 100M vs 1G port.

Also, if you are running on embedded system device like RPie or Arundio, I think disk will definitely be the first bottleneck before you even have a chance to respond to your network saturation.

> the trio of prison telecom giants ratcheted up the prices until a single phone call could cost upward of $14 a minute

> If the FCC stops the telecoms from gouging families for phone fees, the next frontier is, well, any other service those companies provide. One of those lucrative new products is prison email, in which families are charged for digital "stamps."

> risk it on her own computer and pay $10 for 20 minutes. Paid video visits were, of course, unlimited. Sims said she racked up hundreds of dollars in fees a month

This is disgusting, and what is most disgusting is that the majority of the population probably thinks this is ok. Politicians don't win votes by being nice and soft on crime and making it "easy" for the inmates. Here on HN and in some areas people are aware and understand what is happening. But large swathes of people would not blink an eye at this.

Also the prison industrial complex is deeply interested in long sentences and repeat offenders. For them that is a guaranteed source of profit for years ahead. Keep the people there desperate, away from family, turn them into permanent criminals for life, to make sure as soon as they get out, they'll be right back in. On paper they can justify as "it is not a right" or "this is to mitigate risk", "keep costs down", "provide more options". But I can't imagine they are also not thinking about the big picture.

No matter the rhetoric about "oh we incarcerate so many people, or we should end war on drugs" as soon as incarcerating people becomes tied to someone making a profit this will never go away.
Look at the shift in law over time, which should be evidence enough. For instance, from Bowers v. Hardwick to Lawrence v. Texas, or Roe v Wade to Planned Parenthood v. Casey, in < 20 years.

As I said, it is usually the case that precedent is distinguished into oblivion rather than explicitly overruled. Only very limited technical issues are "settled law".
What exactly is "gouging?" The average wedding in the U.S. is almost $30,000. Average new car price is $33,000. Is $84,000 one-time an unreasonable price for a complete cure to a chronic disease?
Disclaimer: Havent read it but have read summaries here.

It sounds like it is very fast but not very rigorous. This lets you get a feel for the data but it doesn't give you the same guarentees other dimensionality reductions do.
Before I start, I'm in favor of in-person visitations and generally agree with this article, but I was frustrated by its one-sided nature. They've presented a case highlighting almost none of the motivations behind video visitations beyond the quick buck ($1/minute) and the prison system's obvious desire to screw the families of inmates[1].

Problem #1 at a prison is security. Physical visitation is a security nightmare for all of the reasons you can imagine. The process is onerous to the visitor, the prisoner and staff. Keeping contraband out is very difficult - you can't give a body-cavity search to a visitor (as far as I know). Yes, there are many ways to get bad things in, but this is one of them. Because of these problems, visitations are scheduled events that occur far too infrequently. This also reduces moral.

Many family members of prisoners are unwilling to visit a prisoner for a variety of human factors: being around a large number of criminals is not something most people want to do. Being associated with a person in prison is enough to make a family member not want to visit. Distance, especially in the Federal system where a prisoner can be hundreds of miles away from any family, is a huge barrier. The prisons that I'm aware of that are looking deeper into video visitation are interested in its potential to increase visit frequency and virtual, remote, visitation. It makes the stigma and difficulty of visitation easier (on the visitor) which gives a prisoner a visitor that may not have had one otherwise.

That said, while I think it would be OK for a prison to reduce in-person visitations with the availability of remote visitor visitation, I'm firmly against elimination of in-person visitations (for all of the reasons presented in the article). Security, being the first responsibility of a prison, is benefited by not eliminating the program. But there is likely a balance. With visitations being a "paid affair" (especially at those outrageous prices), and with video visitation allowing for an easier to secure environment, there will also be additional motivation to increase the frequency of these "virtual visits", perhaps to the point of the frequency of what is allowed for phone calls.

[1] I've chosen that wording because that was my take-away of how the article framed the argument. I do not believe this is the actual motivation of the prison system.

Compulsory licensing under TRIPS means that India can allow manufacturing without running afoul of international trade law, though if enough non-Indians started doing this it could cause some headaches due to the "predominantly for domestic use" clause. But in reality there's no way that pharma companies can stop developing countries from manufacturing critical medicines.
I live in a rural area where gravel and dirt roads outnumber paved roads by an easy 100 to 1. The issue with these roads is that they change with the season, the weather, the stage that farmers are at and the health of the county road department. Those nuances are known to locals but cannot be expected to be known by gps. I travel gravel and dirt daily by paying attention to butte landmarks, the location of the sun, certain farms and barns but most importantly, local gossip. I recall Los Angeles friends visiting and exclaiming "oh my gawd how in the world do you drive these roads -- no signage, no businesses, no gps?" I said all you have to do is look and listen very well and I can drive roads here I have never been on. Look ma..no gps..just eyes and ears.

People are not guilty of their parents crimes/behaviour. If you meet someone that has a parent that committed a hideous crime then we do not blame the children.

This also works the other way, if your parent is national hero that does not reflect on the children either. You should not take the credit for a parents good work.

Obviously it can be difficult for immediate children to take such a dispassionate attitude to parents actions but as more generations go by it should become easier.
