I have seen far more compassion and wisdom from the students on JC than I have when serving jury duty with adults. Reality in this instance speaks better about ourselves than our fiction does.

Keep in mind that your experience is with people who are living in a competitive world. If you belong to a cooperative world, no one benefits by putting someone else down. When treated fairly, they treat others fairly.

For those coming from traditional schools, it sometimes requires a few conversations or JC writeups before they start to have empathy, but most get there fairly quickly.
Most Indian company started with no technical capabilities, they bought complete package from Chinese OEMs and handled only marketing, distribution and service. As the grew larger, they added technical teams and have more control on the phone.

So possible for Intex, OEMs added Chromium browser since they don't have Google in China, then added Google play services with Chrome, and finally has a marketing deal with Opera to add it as only browser on main screen.
Fun fact though, a lot of Black english originates from Scotland and Ireland linguistically. It isn't simpler, its preserving traits of English dialects not normally heard in America.

It has a lot of linguistic traits of those dialects. Which would make sense if the Irish and Scottish slaves taught them their english.

I don't think that makes it "simple", that is a judgement I think is invalid and ignores the reality of the dialect.

Not to mention sports. The absurd amounts of money, attention and time poured into college athletics especially never ceases to amaze me. Even at the high school level, many students focus way too much on being "discovered" by talent scouts so that they can get scholarships to colleges they want - grades be damned.
What does that mean? Bernie is a socialist, not a capitalist. How would a Sanders campaign have redeemed US capitalism?
The logic is odd but strait forward. Basically, free will requires people to make choices independent of the past state of the universe. Aka if you replayed to universe up to this point several times they would not always respond in the same way.

If that's the case people should be able to make unpredictable choices by definition. However, when asked to be unpredictable they fail. So, at best people have a limited form of free will.

PS: This is something of an upper bound. At the other end, if replaying someone's life they only have a single non predictable choice they they may have free will. Similarly if they make the same choices in a very large number of universes and only make a different choice in one you could still argue that that's free will. But, the lower bound is not that meaningful of a distinction.
The problem is that ideas like this make the syntax even less readable.
How a Leader Achieves Breakthrough Performance
I would assume that the primary method is the same method that police use to match evidence gathered at a crime and evidence provided at a trial, ie trust. Independent observers is more of a safeguard, there to increase trust and make it riskier for a malicious actor to tamper with an election.
English is also error-prone, as you have demonstrated—perhaps unwittingly—but we still use it around the world. I would argue that this fact makes C syntax a particularly good choice for one learning to program: Computers don't think like humans, unless we program them to think like humans.
Well of course it's wrong behaviour! But in the article itself it says the car never braked, as it did not see the trailer. Presumably it did detect some deceleration and compensated for it. I'm just saying that apparently it wasn't programmed to interpret sudden deceleration absent any other indicators as a possible collision. I agree that perhaps it should be.

I'm a big fan of the semantics but not as much the syntax of Haskell, too, and it would be interesting to see what a more... current-day-mainstream... syntax (Rust-like braces-and-semicolons-expression-based-language style, perhaps) would do for it.

Regardless of what Apple's documentation says, reference counting is garbage collection. This is academic consensus since the 1980s and there is no need to change. It is not a semantic quibble, because there are successful GC schemes that combine tracing with reference counting and aren't any less a form of GC for doing that.

It is also due to the creeping barrage, where you would inch your artillery fire forward with your troops behind its shield as the enemy took cover during a barrage and therefore it stopped them from being able to gun down your troops.

"In late 1915 / early 1916, Commonwealth forces began developing a new form of barrage. Beginning close to their own lines, the 'creeping' barrage moved slowly forward, throwing up dirt clouds to obscure the infantry who advanced close behind. The barrage would reach the enemy lines and suppress as normal (by driving men into bunkers or more distant areas) but the attacking infantry would be close enough to storm these lines (once the barrage had crept further forward) before the enemy reacted. That was, at least, the theory."

4 Proven Ways to Get a Job Quick

Not Hired? It’s Not You; It’s Your EQ
No. Automatic memory management dynamically (at runtime) works out which objects are no longer referenced. Swift's reference counting is a form of automatic memory management because keeping the reference counts up to date is a way of dynamically working out which objects are alive and dead. Rust's ownership system does not: it is static, in that objects are unconditionally freed at specific, static program points.

> but they still result in code being inserted to do things like deallocate objects at run time.

We're not talking about whether the user manually calls free. Even C has automatic memory management (via stack/activation records) by that definition! The difference is whether the memory management is worked out statically, at compile time, or runtime, via tracing and/or reference counting.

The author of this article is profoundly ignorant. There is a scientific method. Exactly how and why it works are both very well understood.

Writing about the scientific method without mentioning Popper is like writing about physics without mentioning Einstein.

> James Blachowicz is a professor emeritus of philosophy

Why am I not surprised.
I think there are 2 subtle distinctions to be made, in how evidence should be interpreted and responded to.

A) Given XYZ evidence, I am 100% confident that premise ABC is true.

B) Given XYZ evidence, I am 100% confident that accepting premise ABC as true, is the right thing to do.

Sentence A is almost always false. No matter how much supporting evidence you have, the odds of the underlying premise being true, is never 100%. There is always some likelihood of all the evidence being flawed/biased/compromised in some way. Because of this, the likelihood of the underlying premise being true, is always lower than 100%.

That said, even if the odds of the premise being true is only 90%, sentence B could still be true. That sentence doesn't state that the premise is guaranteed to be true. Only that given what we know, accepting the premise is the most rational thing to do. Just like deciding not to buy a lottery ticket, or doubling down on your bet when you're holding a straight flush. You might still turn out to be wrong, but that doesn't negate the fact that your earlier actions were 100% the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, despite the significant differences between A and B, a casual reader may still mistake B for A. A non-perfectionist writer/editor may also mistakenly write A, when really, he means B. This might be the case with Kahneman's book. Given the evidence available at the time of his writing, the B interpretation of his assertions would still hold up well, and we shouldn't be denying that on the basis of 20/20 hindsight.
> 300k euros for a static website? Let's hope it's over.

That is actually not that bad considering the fact that to sell to the government usually requires going through a lengthy bureaucratic process that involves metric tons of meetings, paperwork, constant back-and-forth, changes and revisions, guarantees, insurance, etc, that costs the seller easily north of 100k+ just to get started.

Meaning the cost is not in the product nor service, it is rather in the process.
"Language is defined by the syntax rules and vocabulary..."

It is true, everything that scientists do is an extension and refinement of ways of getting at the truth found in ordinary living and various other fields of expert study. The main difference is that modern science systematically excludes supernatural explanations. Much of modern philosophy of science affirms this, such as Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions.

People want to dispute this basically because they are implicitly subscribing to the philosophical belief that what we ordinarily experience is simply mistaken, and the really real is radically different. This belief is common to metaphysical idealism (such as Platonism) and absolute mysticism, and also materialism, cartesian dualism, and classic analytic philosophy. Other philosophies, such as phenomenology, pragmatism, and the later Wittgenstein, ground our knowledge of reality in our ordinary experience, instead of trying to escape into a radically different realm.

A key issue at stake here is finitude. In the realm of ordinary experience, we experience we are limited in many ways, and this means we cannot escape suffering. The various anti-experiential philosophies generally believe that their alleged really real realms are such that we can escape such suffering.

The principled control of false positives in neuroimaging

Bennett, Wolford, Miller 2009

Ask HN: What emulator would you choose for evolutionary computing experiments?
Context: I would like to try "evolving" an operating system from the first byte onward. The architecture doesn't really matter as long as it's suitable for general purpose computing. I'm guessing the most important feature is startup time, as waiting 5 seconds to run 5 milliseconds before crashing would make for slow progress. There are so many emulators out there (and mostly hobbyist quality, it seems), I'm not even sure where to start evaluating the options. Anyone here have experiences or wisdom to share?
I don't think you did. You have a legitimate point and I see how you might have taken it differently than I meant it, so I just wanted to clarify.
>Computer Science PHDs are on average definitely smarter than web developers

Depends on context. If you actually want something built I'd take the Web Dev any day.
Swift doesn't have the borrow checker, which means that in order to ensure safety the expressiveness is really limited unless you use RC. That's why essentially all Swift code uses RC, and Rust code rarely does.

There's a big difference between technically having manual memory management and having it actually widely used and practical.
The experiment is set up so that there are no true positives.

When the threshold is p<0.05, then 5% of the calls should be positives, and they are all false positives. If anything else happens, SPM (etc) are borked. The only other alternatives are that the (fake) event design is somehow flawed in a way that exploits the non-stationarity of the fake event design, or the analysis code for the paper is somehow buggy.

Are you trying to say that it's not the t-test per se, but something before it in the pipeline? If so, sure, of course, but that's not the null. The null is that chunks randomly labeled as ON are the same as chunks randomly labeled as OFF, and since it's not physically possible for the labels to affect the signal, this null must be true.
Sure, the nominal prices of everything else would increase, as would wages so that purchasing power would remain largely unchanged. Moderate inflation is basically harmless -- in a lot of ways it's beneficial. It's effectively a tax on money (especially on lenders), which makes it extremely progressive. (That is one of the reasons deflation is so catastrophic. The other is that deflation makes cash an investment, so people would hoard cash instead of investing in actually productive activities.)

And the government can use the new money in place of normal tax revenue, which helps the economy.

It's possible to go too far and have hyperinflation. It becomes problematic if prices double every day and nobody will accept your money because it will have lost half its value by the time they get to the bank, as is often the case in failing or mismanaged countries. But if we had e.g. ten percent inflation per year for several years, the effects would be a rather large net positive. It's basically a wealth transfer from lenders to borrowers, where "borrowers" means the taxpayer (national debt), people with student loans or car loans or credit card debt, etc. And homeowners with mortgages, canceling the reduction in housing prices that would otherwise come from significantly increasing the housing stock.

Stravinsky’s “Illegal” Arrangement of “The Star Spangled Banner” (2015)
Rust's drop flag is totally unlike Swift's atomic heap reference counting. The drop flag is just an implementation detail that procedures sometimes use to determine whether to run the destructor. It is usually optimized away. It is quite feasible to program without drop flags if you really don't want them, though they never show up in profiles (unlike swift_retain). We could statically eliminate drop flags if we wanted to, via tail duplication. (But we don't, because the drop flags have effectively zero runtime overhead, unlike RC.)

No! Reference counting is dynamic tracking of object lifetimes. If reference counting is implicit manual memory management, then so is tracing GC!
For your example:

If you create a shot-vector per day, then any vector will lack autocorrelation.

If you you create a shot-vector for the whole season, then there will be autocorrelation.

Why?

P(n = good | n-1 = good)
= P(n = good | currently good day) P(currently good day | n-1 = good) + P(n = good | currently bad day) P(currently bad day | n-1 = good)
> P(n = good)

Also regarding verhausts example, the process he describes clearly has autocorrelation.

> Ok, but isn't the question of whether or not something is done at compile or runtime always an implementation detail? The fact that Rust figures out at compile time whether or not to insert the deallocation functions is super awesome, but it doesn't actually change the semantics of the language relative to if has to check flags or reference counts etc.

There is no concept in Swift of a dead object that is in scope. There is in Rust, which is why you see "use of moved value" errors. That is a language difference.
I have implemented the build system redo as designed by DJB in around 400 lines of code. redo is simpler, more flexible, more powerful, and more reliable than make. The original redo design notes can be found on DJB's web site: http://cr.yp.to/redo.html

According to the book (the author did do some financial analysis but I forget the details), if these states sell a small fraction of their assets, they will be able to pay off all their debt. I'm definitely not agreeing with the author's point of view, but that is something I had not thought about before. i.e. while your debt may be a lot higher than your income, if you have sizable assets, you an get away with it for a while.

I get near immediate -1s on deeply nested replies sometimes (see recent history). Even on comments to detached threads. I'm near positive that multiple people have real-time feeds they monitor and downvote from. Unfortunately, this is pretty much impossible to know for sure without getting to know which accounts vote on a comment, but how else do you explain repeated occurrences of comments in detached threads getting multiple downvoted post immediately? The worst part is, the downvoted post almost never comes along with an actual response; it's just a drive-by karma docking. To what end though, I wonder?

Vote reversal is a badly needed feature. I often hit the wrong one on touchscreens because the characters are so small and close together.

As for off-topic threads, I'm still looking for where I can find them. I asked a moderator and was threatened with banishment because I am supposedly expected to know the answer to that question already.

Doubtful.. Some retirees live on social security.
It is silly to try to equate the drop flags with atomic reference counting on the heap. We could statically eliminate the drop flag entirely if we wanted to, with aggressive tail duplication. (It's not worth it, though, because the drop flag never shows up in profiles, so the code size bloat would be a cure worse than the disease.) Swift can never eliminate the runtime overhead of garbage collection. That's because, at a language level, Rust has static lifetime semantics and Swift has dynamic semantics.
The author demonstrates that he doesn't know what science is. There is much more than correct reasoning necessary to do science. For example, philosophers spent thousands of years pondering ideas in topics such as gravity and chemistry, without getting much ahead. And this is possible because there is a practically infinite number of ways in which the world could be explained using logic, but these explanations cannot be ruled in as true until you perform at least some experimentation.

What makes science different is that it requires observation of the world and testing of hypothesis about the observed behavior. Without a rigorous process to do these things there is no science, only philosophical speculation.
