I'm really sorry that that happened to your wife, and that no one helped her. That's a shitty situation, and it needs to be fixed. But it doesn't make sense to say that thousands of people are all the same because you had a bad experience with one of them. I got beat up by a black guy a couple of times, but I don't assume that all black guys are thugs.
I would agree with you and I also did research on neural networks when I was in college. I'm not sure if those downvoting you have actually done/seen neural network research. Deep learning is pretty engineering driven (as opposed to theory driven), right now.

I have a pretty weak understanding of statistics and from my perspective it was very common for grad students to also have a weak understanding (of course, those working in statistical learning theory had a strong understanding). This is a pretty ordinary occurrence - it shouldn't be surprising - this is sort of like pointing out that many theoretical statisticians have poor coding skills.
its a parallel universe, right in front of us. its disgusting what the executive branch gets away with. When you do a little research and see what is happening there right now and how there is no accountability its paralyzing. After my arrest, there has been at least 2 murders by guards. Both unaccounted for as far as i see. One person they claim died of pre-existing condition. When i was in that jail, they blatantly refused to give me my medications. And it seemed like a norm. A second was an alzheimer person. They refused to release him to his family after the judge ordered release. They made the family wait for hours, then lied to them ( or confused ) and told them he was released already. Family rushed to streets to look for him. The sick man was released at 6AM finally. Family was on the streets looking for him for hours by then. An hour later he walked onto a freeway and got killed by a car. His crime was creating a scene at a local synagogue due to his illness. As far as i can see, all it deserved was an article in a local newspaper. And thats the norm here.
I don't see any reason why would somebody pay for it. There are free addons to upload screenshots directly on imgur already.

That's a pretty manipulative pair of false comparisons, don't you think? To take them in order:

1 - search history of one person has strikingly little to do with mass "rounding up", that's almost always an ethnic/demographic thing

2 - OP isn't in any of those places. Context is important in these discussions, there are lots of things which are safe to do in the United States which are not safe in some of those places; should we stop speaking our minds as well? That's dangerous in all those places.

Ask HN: Mathematical discovery as a slow plodding business
I'm looking for a PDF of an essay / paper written by a maths professor which characterised problem-solving in maths as a matter of persistence rather than genius. It was posted here about 6 months ago. Does anybody remember the link?

The author explained that he was not particularly intelligent, but had done his best work by spending lots of time on particular problems, rather than through sparkling insight or special talent.
I went to a T-Mobile store in the Nexus 4 era to get a prepaid SIM card. No credit check. I gave them $80 and they gave me a SIM card with unlimited everything. When the 30 days were over it stopped working until I made an account to give them more money. No credit check.

You have stated something that someone with a high school-level (e.g. superficial) understanding of probability/statistics would understand. Most research in neural networks requires only a very superficial level of statistics.

There are certainly many areas of neural networks where statistics is important (more theoretical areas), but those don't form the core of the research field.

Also, calling (stochastic) gradient descent a form of statistical inference, while technically correct, is a ridiculous stretching of the term. No researcher considers SGD to be a statistical inference algorithm.

Nothing of the sort.

But on the platforms it compiles to, Ocaml can generate object files that look like they came from C. I use this feature right now to integrate a compiler in an otherwise C++ project. Here's a link to the FFI documentation: http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/intfc.html

But I run on Debian stable on x86-64. Not exactly an exotic platform.
I've spent some time with Stallman in real life. There is very little variance between Ubuntu and OS X to him. They both have free kernels (Linux, XNU) that come with nonfree binary blobs (device drivers) and nonfree userlands (Ubuntu apt-get main channel is not entirely free, OS X is obviously nonfree). To Stallman, once you give convenience the time of day, you might as well be Bill Gates.
All I know right now is that if I didn't have my family, I'd be homeless myself right now. Right now I'm utterly, utterly depressed and finding it hard to do anything. It's like trying to run through a vat of molasses, nothing works very fast.

I'll probably be better after some more sleep, but I know the black dog and anxiety is always just around the corner. It makes it very hard to do anything let alone look for work. I really don't know how an already homeless person with a worse mental illness does it. I fear they could be the most capable person in the world, but if you hit a certain stage it's very hard to pick up from.

It not self-pity either. I constantly tell myself that the feeling isn't reality but just my brain being out of kilter temporarily. And I'm of course correct. But if your head isn't ordered, no amount of positive thinking is ever going to fix it. Sometimes all you can do is ride it out, but you can only do this if you have a safe place to sleep, eat and keep yourself clean. And that sure as hell isn't on the streets.

I hope that is never me, but sometimes I realise that I'm only a few steps removed from the situation of those without anything. That's why I get frustrated with so many attitudes towards homelessness and mental illness. Saying that it's there own fault isn't terribly helpful. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Maybe some homeless people choose to be homeless. Maybe some are lazy and got into the situation through their own behaviour. But I'll hazard a guess that isn't most people.

God help you if you ever hit rock bottom. God help you from the morally outraged, fit and wealthy self-made man. In his eyes, you're worse than a failure, you deserve your situation.
Neural nets are glorified curve fitting. The are curves parameterized by the weight matrix. The weight matrix is relatively massive (e.g. 1M DOF), which makes the family of curves it generate essentially almost fluid like a piece of yarn. Now given a small amount of data, and a programmable piece of string, how well can you fit the data? Turns out the string is higher dimensional than the data, so you can fit any curve you like. The trick, it avoiding overfitting. Overfitting is the yarn warping its shape to fit noise that has no intrinsic meaning. That's what cross validation prevents ... overfitting. Stop moving the yarn to match the training data better when it fails to improve an independent performance test. Thats what machine learning is... figuring out algorithms that don't overfit and have some ability to generalize onto data not seen before. It's still basically glorified curve fitting.

I bought a "visitor SIM" for 2200 yen for 14 days of unlimited data. 4400 yen a month is cheaper than an unlimited data plan in the US, so I don't see why that's not a viable option for residents. Sure, they tell you it's for visitors, but they don't check.
> Doors are very useful to have

Then I'd use them as some kind of status token, to gamify things a bit. Mangers would have offices with doors by necessity, for private conversations with employees etc. And for the rest, if you are a lead developer, or tech lead or senior developer, than you get a door added to your office. Otherwise the hinges stay, but no door... like a hint of "when you'll get better, you'll get that door" :)

I for one prefer open plans for developers - and everyone else. A) The headphones are just a dime in the wider context. B) Sure, if you are working on the next video compression algorithm then concentration is golden and you rightly deserve a hut in the middle of endless flowerfield by the lake high in the mountains (Howl's Moving Castle style). Otherwise the ability to constantly share information with your colleagues and management (both ways) is way more important. The proverbial 9 out of 10 startups fail not because their developers could not achieve deep concentration and if you can not write JavaScript with your headphones on (on a train, while the kids watch TV, in a buzzing open plan office) maybe you lack important work skill.
I'm in a cube at my current employer. I like that I don't constantly see people walk by my desk, and that the three developers I work closest with are right next to me for easy collaboration, but with enough separation between us to allow us to easily work on separate tasks without minor movements jostling a desk, etc.

I also like that we each have a whiteboard, plus whiteboards in the "hallways". Anything important tends to go to text, one way or another.

I'm apprehensive about working in an open-plan office, or some arrangement with a shared desk. One concern is constant movement in my peripheral vision. Another is degradation of communication. I like my text. Having something written means that I don't have to ask someone to repeat themselves again. Add to it: Half my team is remote, so no office layout will change how I communicate with them (IM+email).

Then again, I've never worked in an open plan office. Maybe I'd like it, and the things that I see as potential issues would dissolve away...but it seems like a panopticon-distraction fest, looking at it from the outside.

I'm a developer and I like open offices. Sure, you have to be careful of your neighbors and don't interrupt them consistently. But, unless your coworkers are complete douches, this is pretty much easy to do.

I like to answer questions, technical or not, and it's really nice to be able to exchange ideas with someone (who was lurking on slack, anyway), from times to times.

I checked both AUS & NZ and despite the fact I can get in there through the company I work for, it does not seem easy or 'we need all the skilled people we can get'. The process seems not very easy in either country. I will live in AUS probably starting next year to manage the tech side from there and I will definitely check out NZ and maybe skip to there if possible as, for some reason (never been) it attracts me more. That said; I often need to go to China which is easy from AUS; I did not check how it is from NZ.
Hi!
Yes there are some addons like that available. However, I target developers/designers and tailor all features for them :)
Your fist mistake is expecting anyone in America to care about your suffering.

There you are wrong, starting with e.g. reporter Radley Blako and his readers, and extending to large swaths of the white or thereabouts population who buy books like Arrest-Proof Yourself (http://www.amazon.com/Arrest-Proof-Yourself-Dale-C-Carson/dp...) This was reified for me in ~2008 when a local cop played a game of chicken with his car and my body.

Some of it is that the author lives in Santa Clara County, California as mentioned in another comment. Citizens in Bay Area counties are allowed to own (some types of) guns, but by and large not to carry them, and that appears to help the Badge Gang feel they can treat nearly the entire populace as their playthings.

Take that too far in my part of the country, a combo of Greater Appalachia and the cultural South, and the calculus changes rather a lot. And in my county, when I last renewed my concealed carry permit, 5% of the age eligible population had one, and gun ownership is not quite ubiquitous, but extremely common and steadily increasing. And many of the cops are on our side; can you imagine a Santa Clara County law enforcement public affairs type confirming that a woman had an "absolute right" to use lethal force against some home invaders?

I still don't understand how a major nuclear accident didn't happen (at minimum), or really, a full nuclear exchange, given the game theoretic and technical challenges of having multiple nuclear arsenals on hair trigger alert for decades.

Given that many US weapons weren't even one-point safe until the 80s, and I doubt Soviet weapons were better, and there were a fair number of routine accidents with those weapons, there must have been some undisclosed policy of secretly keeping the weapons even less ready than has ever been reported, or we've been unbelievably lucky. (If I could have been completely certain it would remain secret, deploying primarily inert weapons (just replace the HEU with lower enriched uranium, or for plutonium weapons, even just screwing up the lensing) would have been very tempting. If you believe in MAD, then really only deterrence has any value; the retaliatory value in reality could be forgone.)

It would also account for why weapons were never used intentionally post WW2 -- if you knew your arsenal actually was disabled, you'd bluster even more but never use it.

Maybe we should redo all the text books to accurately reflect the fact (by the definition you have given) that George Washington and the founding fathers of the US were terrorists.
Ta. I have been mostly reassured and given it a go.
Ok for parametric polymorphism: the identity function in OCaml has type 'a -> 'a, whereas in SBCL it is "(function (T) T)". On the other hand, "(lambda (x) (if x 0 1))" is a function from T (anything) to the type BIT, not to some arbitrary integer type. Moreover:

(lambda (x)
(unless (minusp (if x 0 1))
(error "Oops")))

... has type "(function (T) NIL)", meaning that the function does not return a value. That means that types are propagated so that the test can demonstrably always fail. A type in SBCL defines what is returned when execution terminates normally. So for example the type of `(lambda (x) (loop))` is "(function T NIL)", because it never returns (yes, I know you cannot always tell if it halts or not).
The bottom type NIL should not be confused with NULL, the singleton type for the NIL value.

In OCaml, exceptions are not visible by the type system and you can write:

let f x = raise (Failure "NO")

... and still have the type 'a -> 'b

So the kind of analysis that make sense in a language, as well as their soundness, is relative to the properties you want to check. Would you say that OCaml type system is unsound because it allows you to run code that can raise exceptions at runtime?
I would love to see more precise type checking in OCaml, for example, and it probably already exists (I'am interested, if anybody has an example). But it probably makes little sense over there.

The same goes for parametric polymorphism in Lisp.
The most in-depth approach to bring parametric polymorphism in CL is LIL (https://common-lisp.net/~frideau/lil-ilc2012/lil-ilc2012.htm...), but since it is dynamic, people who view dynamic typing as a deficiency might see that as a restriction.

You also claim that the type system is "unsafe". On the contrary, types being checked at runtime is a safe approach (buffer overflow, etc.) and plays well with the fact that everything can be redefined at runtime (maybe you don't like this aspect). In SBCL, type declarations are assertions. With the default optimization levels, that means that if they cannot be proved, they are checked at runtime (with the few caveats listed in SBCL man page). So if your input variable X is type as NUMBER and the function terminates normally, then you know that X effectively was of type NUMBER (that's a guarantee instead of an assumption). That result can be used in the following calls so that checking the type of X is not necessary anymore (if it is not modified in the meantime). The only case where types are trusted blindly instead of being checked, when necessary, is when you set the safety level to zero. This can be changed locally, not necessarily as a global switch.
This is because nginx has some interesting assumptions about the HTTP/2 preamble works. See this mailing list thread[0] for discussion about it. See also the nginx bug[1].

The TL;DR is that nginx wants to do some weird stuff with flow control to avoid the need to do internal buffering. nginx is definitely outside the RFC here: what the client is doing is entirely acceptable.

A DAO is simply software that incentivizes humans to act.

Bitcoin is considered the first DAO. This interview explains it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn_7fdmfZY8&feature=youtu.be...

The DAO is a new type of DAO that instead inflating it's own currency to incentivize humans to do things, it actually is bootstrapped by the people who Create the tokens during the Creation phase.

All DAOs are autonomous. The DAO is run by DAO token holders, they can vote to send money to Proposals.

The idea is that the DAO Token Holders want to make a change in the world, but don't have the time or the plan to do it.

The DAO and it's Proposals are a special type of software called smart contracts. They can be thought of a digital safe that only releases digital currency according to the rules of the Smart contract. The DAO only sends money out when the DAO Token Holders Vote to agree to it and Proposals will have daily/weekly/monthly payment schedules.

Slock.it is hoping that The DAO will choose the Universal Sharing Network to be their flag ship product. We (I work for Slock.it) led the development of The DAO's Code (the [Standard DAO Framework](https://github.com/slockit/DAO) ) so it is specifically designed for the project.

Slock.it will submit a Proposal to The DAO to build the Universal Sharing Network in 2 weeks asking for The DAO to send an amount of digital currency (ETH) to the Smart contract, that ETH will be sent to Slock.it slowly over time and if at any time The DAO doesn't think Slock.it is doing a good job, it can Fire Slock.it and take back the money that is left in the smart contract.

We hope The DAO will be an Ethereum/IoT DAO, and that the DAO Token Holders are excited about that... However we do not know if this will be the case.

This is our [Proposal Overview](http://download.slock.it/public/DAO/Proposal1.pdf)

Regarding #3: isn't that how modern prisons are constructed? A central "panopticon" watchtower looking out into the cells.
The problem with a systematic dismantling of welfare protection and the denial of things like basic health care is that people who hit rock bottom have got to go somewhere. And if you create a culture where things like a minimum wage are seen as bad for business, you'll get people who don't make enough to live a normal, basic life. They'll be one disaster removed from losing the lot and the landlord turfing them into the streets.

When that happens, you can move them on, but they'll eventually grow to such numbers there's nowhere to move them to. One day, you might hit a personal crisis. Or your kids might hit that personal crisis. Or your whole family might find themselves living in a car. Then you will be the one being moved on. And you will curse those who dismantled the welfare systems. You may well be cursing yourself.
While most everything you say is true, that is a terrible attitude. Becoming a negative, hate-filled cynic is the easy way to mentally cope with the situation, but it doesn’t help and actually only makes it worse by accepting it. Acknowledging these things as true but still expecting people to behave like civilized people, and speaking out when they don’t, is much harder, but it needs to be done if anything is to improve.
Yeah, Office 2000 hit the sweet spot on lightweightness and features.
I really appreciate you sharing your personal situation. That last line was amazing. Some people lack compassion, spoiled by their own blessings that they are oblivious to, because their pride hides those blessings from them. Their ego tells them "I worked too hard and am too damn good at what I do, and too damn smart and able to have my success be attributed to anything but my self". Of course I may be citing an extreme example, but I have seen people espouse this line of thinking, because you do see it promoted in subtle and less subtle ways.
Caret as the embryonic form of lambda is apparently a myth propagated by Barendregt, and lambda is just a random Greek letter to go with alpha, beta, and eta.
