Thanks for sharing a bit.
Also, Python has a global interpreter lock so it has no parallelism.
Yeah, people seem to want to decrease the degree of separation between humans and animals. The scientists probably reach a bit in their conclusions, for many reasons, and readers seem to me they may have some latent desire to bring humans and animals closer together, like they want a grand unifying law of life and ethics or maybe a link to our past and how consciousness evolved which could mean we have more reason to treat animals more like equals. I get it, that all seems good and fine. But looking at the general evidence I still conclude there is a huge difference between animals and people. And I think the results of experiments don't change anything, regardless of what they find we should respect animals even though they're "just animals".

I liked the experience vs awareness model presented in Stumbling Upon Happiness where people think about the future (awareness of what's happening to them/others) and animals simply operate in the moment based on instincts and being informed by memories (experience). I think that is a pretty good model for the difference.
Love it. Go rats.

I agree the craziness of China's society today is because people are lost in a unfamiliar era. The old life style where family and village are at the absolute center is gone, but the new structure with comprehensive and strictly enforced law and modern civic code are not in place. People are dumbfounded. Imagine if Europeans were teleported from 600 AD to 1800 AD, bypassing all those Renaissance/Enlightenment years.

In China's history the oligarchy/government/emperors were always been regarded as the oppressor, the enemy, the bad guy, by ordinary Chinese. They got power through violence or family line. So people didn't care much, other than paying the painfully exorbitant taxes. For people it's the village leaders/families that actually had intimate ties with them. I think perhaps a better analogy for the world-shattering change facing by today's China might be an isolated tribe being suddenly exposed to modern capitalism/commerce/ideas of freedom/etc., and felt lost, and is searching for ways to go forward, while there are no applicable lessons either from its own history or the hugely different western countries. It's truly remarkable.
I think "perceptible" would be closer to the desired meaning.

Unfortunately GitHub doesn't give great control over permissions. The only thing we can choose from is access to all public repos, or access to all public and private repos. We can't specify that we want only the user repos and not the organization or vice versa.

This. I keep my friends list neat by taking a look at today's birthdays. When Facebook asks me to write something on a person's wall for their birthday, I can make a quick decision on how important that friendship is to me. For those I don't feel a need to keep around, I unfriend (or perhaps just unsubscribe/hide) them.

It's nice because I don't have to embark on some great friend list culling as a major event, but I do get to trim the list with some frequency.

Humans and many other great apes are opportunistic carnivores. The idea that we should have moral compunctions about biological reality seems absurd to me, and I have yet heard any argument than "suffering is evil; animals experience suffering; killing animals necessitates their suffering; therefore eating animals is evil." I don't deny the second proposition, I deny the first, and my personal feeling is the reason some of us now feel differently has much to do with the enormously sheltered and privileged lives modernity has afforded us.

They've clarified the situation now. 2-way SLI continues to work as normal, but 3-way and 4-way SLI are no longer supported with the exception of certain whitelisted benchmarking apps (for the sake of people trying to set world records).

3/4-way SLI never worked particularly well in practice so it's not a great loss.

You can get new 970 for slightly more than that... I regret buying a 380x instead.

AMD drivers have serious bugs (that also affect the 480!) that they promised to fix a year ago, but not only they didn't fixed it, they also removed it from the "known issues" list on the changelogs. This was my first AMD purchase and will be my last, their hardware is mediocre (super power hungry and throttles because of that), software is outright terrible, and support from both them and Sapphire is nonexistent.

And when I asked for help on forums and chats, people accused me of being nvidia paid troll and even banned me. (And someone later pointed out to me that the places that most aggressively attacked me are the ones that have AMD employees as moderators)
I would be extremely surprised if they were actually doing that, because a lot of effort has already been put into doing it a better (and more interesting) way: cloud detection and mosaicing. Landsat captures several spectral bands, and due to atmospheric transmission rates, some bands can act as really good cloud filters [0].

This is what they're actually using, or something very close to it, for clouds [1].

Just as we have Seed Banks in the world, I believe we ought to have Animal Arks. These are very large open habitats with difficult to pass barriers. Little human involvement is permitted and trespassing carries an instantaneous death penalty.

I see this as the only plausible way to prevent the disappearance of Rhino, Elephant, Cheetah and many other animals that you had plastic toys of when you were a child. Those animals are going to be as extinct as the dinosaurs toys you played with in our lifetime.

We have very little biodiversity in Europe, outside of our domestic animals the typical country has nothing much larger than foxes or squirrels running around. Conservation is a patriotic planet wide duty for humans and it is one of the few things that ought to go over traditional rivalries. I do not accept for example, that Africans, South Americans or Southeast Asians have the right to demolish important species because they are within their political territories. There is no moral reason not to simply extract them from there using a combination of carrot and stick since they are clearly incapable of handling the problem themselves at this stage of development, just as Europeans were back in the 1700s not exactly looking out for the plight of endangered wolves, boars or bears.

Most major insights into biology and medicine come from having a variety of species around. So it is not as if we have no self interest. Ultimately any 'Arks' would be easily repaid for millions of times over in a variety of ways, even if just because you would ultimately be the only available source of rare biomaterials.
Glad to hear they clarified it, but does it mean that 4 cards cannot be used for non-SLI loads like machine learning? I hope not.
Uggg sorry if I offended anyone.
Async Compute is a big mess for nVidia right now. Latest trouble is Total War: Warhammer game. They released dx12 support for it and nVidia cards are losing 10fps+ while AMD cards are gaining 30%+ in performance. Also reason why Ark Survival Evolved is holding off dx12 release because of nVidia ...
Munger makes the same mistake that Tierney does by focusing on something that's easy to attack, and sounds good on the face, but is in fact nearly irrelevant to the discussion.

Tierney's argument that it takes energy to recycle is completely moot; the point isn't energy at all, the point is to recover materials & to slow production and consumption of wasteful single use containers. Combine that with our ability to use abundant and unending solar power, and you can see that Tierney's assumption that energy is part of the economy of recycling is a straw man and doesn't stand up to reason or reality.

Munger's entire argument is that recycling is expensive, there's a cost to recycling. Like Tierney, this is a misdirection. Cost is not the point of recycling. He's right, there's a cost, but he doesn't compare it to anything. What's the alternative to recycling, and how much does that cost? There's a cost to landfills too -- how much does it cost to throw away? Munger ignores the long term costs of not recycling. Running out of resources is going to be a lot more expensive than recycling. The byproducts of plastic production are toxic, and historically there have been some plastic factories that made workers fatally sick. Munger didn't try to factor in the health care costs of people who work in or live near factories. He hasn't attempted to consider the heavy cost of pollution. He doesn't calculate the costs of transporting garbage. He hasn't attempted to calculate the environmental costs of not recycling at all -- and this is the entire point of recycling, the entire basis upon which the economics of recycling is evaluated. The recycling movement is not even remotely concerned about the transaction price of recycling a bottle, it's concerned with slowing our frivolous and wasteful use of this planet's finite and valuable resources on one time deliveries of 12 ounces of Coke.

There's a lot of information on the many large costs of not recycling that Munger is deliberately ignoring, here's just one:
http://www.environmentalhealthnews.org/ehs/news/dangers-of-p...

Thinking about cost alone is a persuasion strategy, it's a way to manipulate the argument and the audience, it's a way to put something seemingly tactile on the perceived downsides of recycling. It's a way to convince you that you're being cheated out of money -- but he's the one trying to trick you -- don't let it work on you so easily!

If nothing else, if I haven't convinced you at all, at least Google all the articles you can on the critiques of Teirney and Munger, read them all and try to rebut them yourself.
For me, the more important question is not whether all test subjects were genetically diverse: it's more important that the free rat and the caged rat are dissimilar. The situation would be vastly different if the rat pairs were related, since there is a genetically selfish motivation for caring for those within the same gene pool.
"smart" is often interpreted as a measure of skills with symbol systems, rather than any general capacity to cultivate understanding. it wasn't that long ago that this sort of reactionary logic was used to justify enslaving large populations of humans. bias borne from the relative locality of individual existence is hardly a solved problem for humanity. In future I'd hope for greater understanding and less disgust

Not sure how this timeit is running, but there are two things going on: Local name lookups are done as array indexing; whereas global lookups are done as cascading dictionary lookups. And the attribute lookup also is a dictionary search. On instances, looking up a method defined in a super class involves failed lookups in the instance and all the base classes in a definition. In a hot inner loop, definitely worth cutting out
My experience is that it is not "dandy". We have had a lot of trouble pegging the CPUs on our celery worker boxes (doing CPU bound jobs). You get more than one CPU utilised, sure, but we never can seem to get all cores fully utilised. We rewrote some of the tasks into a single multi-threaded JVM process pulling off the rabbit queue and they instantly and consistently pegged every CPU at 100%. I wish I knew how to get our celery worker farm to full utilisation because it would save us a fair bit of money.
> The idea that we should have moral compunctions about biological reality seems absurd to me

Why? We seem to have plenty of moral compunctions about lots of other biological realities. Otherwise, why do anything at all?

As humans, we have so far not acted in a manner that implies we're completely OK with biological realities. We keep trying to change them. Hopefully, it will continue this way.

Most people agree that they do not want to suffer. That's what makes it evil. It's not a difficult concept.
You can't seem to see the difference between bad comment and bad argument. In a thread that could be fairly characterized as "Hacker News tearing to bits a racist comment", you found two bad comments on the thread whose authors happen to agree with you --- and, from what it looks like, the whole rest of the site --- and tried to spin that into a narrative. Why would you do that?

So if suffering isn't ethically inacceptable, then torture of human beings is also OK for you? To me it seems that what you're saying essentially means that you just don't have any morality at all.
Unfortunately, although that exact rumor was just a rumor, the adoption "industry" really took off around then and continued to grow for the next 20 years. It started off legitimately, given the number of children of the civil war. However, demand outpaced supply, and pretty soon, white people were showing up in remote villages offering money for women to get pregnant. Once the babies were delivered in hospitals in Guatemala City, they were taken around the block to an "orphanage" where the adopting families were waiting.

Simply walking around the major hotels in Guatemala City in early 2000s (the Marriott especially), you'd see hundreds of families waiting for adoptions.

It all goes down to the origins of morality. Politicians and clerics often repeat the mantra of religion and society creating a moral code for us, but observations and experiments with animals (and even plants) show that altruism, empathy, and cooperation spontaneously arise from the evolution. Excellent book on the subject is "The Bonobo and the Atheist: In Search of Humanism Among the Primates" by Frans de Waal.
Non-SLI setups are unaffected, you can still use as many cards as will fit in your motherboard.

They deprecated 3/4-way SLI due to the difficulty of implicitly splitting the workload in the driver, but with non-SLI setups for CUDA/OpenCL the load-splitting is done explicitly by the application so it's not their problem.
GitHub's api permissions aren't very granular. We can choose between all public repos, or all public and private repos. A lot of our users have their site in a private repo as it is for an internal wiki or simply a site they are still developing. Giving the user the ability to choose between all public and all public and private complicates the flow, especially if you chose all public when you started and then later want to access a private repo. This is something that we will take into consideration as the the product grows though.

Your posts should be listed with the most recent first. This seems to be pretty standard across content management systems. However, we will have sorting out into production soon.

I'm not 100% certain what you mean with regards to frontmatter. Right now, when you create a new page/post the fields that show up are determined by the frontmatter defaults (in Jekyll) or the archetype (in Hugo). The type of data that a field accepts is derived from the content in existing fields. We are working on giving the user the ability to change the content type of a given field and to add additional frontmatter fields.

The fields are derived from the frontmatter in a content file. If the content file has a date field in frontmatter, you will see a date field. I realize that Jekyll incorporates the date into the name of the content file so you may not have a reason to add a date field to frontmatter. I'll add that to my todo list.

Recycling here is actually on the chopping block because they can't sell the materials at a price that covers the costs.

They've never taken glass for that reason.

The economics are better for bigger population centers, but here the modest amount of material and trucking really put pressure on it.

Of course there are several businesses paying for metal in the area.

The argument is that Python spend most time in the C runtime, but that is really only a property of the current implementation. If I use Jython or even implement Python on top of bare metal, making Python the OS, that will not be spending any time in the C runtime because there wouldn't be one, but that's besides the point.

The question is whether an implementation could be made significantly faster than the current Python interpreter is, or whether there are properties of the Python semantics that makes that hard. One such thing is the amount of dynamic behavior that is allowed in Python. That require most variables to be boxed, even for basic types like numbers. There are dynamic languages (LuaJIT was mentioned, but Javascript, Julia and several Lisp implementation could be mentioned as well) that are considerably faster than Python, so why isn't Python fast?

Personally I think that Python could be made quite a bit faster than it is, but such a new Python system would almost certainly be incompatible with a large number of the Python libraries that interface with native code. For most Python users, this availability of libraries is a major motivation for using Python in the first place, and a new fast implementation without such compatibility would be worthless for most users.

Windows thug thinks his OS is secure when 99.9% of the viruses, malware and ransomware are all on Windows. There's a reason for this and it's not attributed to your ludicrous assumptions that these infections are all related to people visiting bad sites or downloading bad software - it's because Windows is an inherently badly designed OS that needs monthly patches to patch up all of its known holes.
If that's what you want to call moderation and the site guidelines, OK. I know you're not a troll. But you make lazy, weak arguments, and it seems to upset you that they're not winning simply because you're right. You don't have to stay upset and unhappy. There's a better way.

Yes, I done it. It is a question of where you were born and the culture in which you were born. Don't extrapolate your own feelings and cultural idiosyncrasies to everyone. People live in wildly different circumstances even today.

It is interesting that personally I find more disgusting the mutilation of animals (castration for example) than actually killing them for food.
