1. It is most likely that Watson is far less powerful than advertised. Given enough trials, a pigeon could probably detect some forms of cancer that a human expert can't. [1]

2. I too would prefer that more open-source work (and published research) would come out of Watson project than it has been the case so far. However, there's a devil's advocate point to be made that closedness encourages diversity of approaches and implementations. When a high-profile project becomes open-source (as recently happened with TensorFlow), it exerts a lot of pull on time/attention of other developers and researchers that could have been focused on trying out entirely different approaches.

Mitch Bradley originally developed a Forth system at Sun for use diagnosing and developing hardware, by burning it into ROM and running it via a serial port.

It was based on Langston and Perry's Forth-83, and had a meta compiler that could target different word sizes and architectures. He made it even more architecture and word size independent, implemented interactive top level loops and conditionals, emacs-like line editing, all kinds of low level device drivers and testers that ran in stand-alone mode, and many other features, including full 16 and 32 bit support with a vocabulary for writing word size and endian independent code.

He ported Sun Forth to 68K and SPARC Sun workstations, as well as the Amiga and other systems. It ran in both stand-alone mode (from disk, tftp or ROM), or under Unix. Under Unix, it could dynamically relocate and link in Unix libraries, and you could call back and forth between Forth and C.

Sun Forth eventually evolved and standardized into the Open Firmware [1], whose purpose was to support machine independent byte code [2], so plug-in hardware cards could include ROMs with Forth byte code drivers that ran on 68K, SPARC, x86 and other systems.

Sun shipped it with the SPARC workstations, Apple adopted it and shipped it on their PowerPC Macs, IBM shipped with their POWER servers, and Mitch worked directly with the OLPC project extending OpenFirmware to support the OLPC XO-1 Children's Computer secure and power efficient hardware. [3]

>OLPC Wiki: Open Firmware

>Open Firmware is the hardware-independent firmware (computer software which loads the operating system) that the XO runs.

>It was developed by Mitch Bradley at Sun Microsystems, and used in post-NuBus PowerPC-based Apple Macintosh computers (though it has been dropped with Apple's transition to Intel processors), Sun Microsystems SPARC based workstations and servers, IBM POWER systems, and PegasosPPC systems, among others. On those computers, Open Firmware fulfills the same tasks as BIOS does on PC computers.

>For example Fedora and Debian use the YaBoot BootLoader for Open Firmware.

>The Open Firmware user interface includes a FORTH-based shell interface. FORTH is a powerful high level language that is remarkably compact. A complete Forth development environment including compiler, decompiler, assembler, disassembler, source level debugger, and assembly language debugger is present in the XO boot ROM (SPI FLASH). With the Open Firmware Forth system, you can directly access all of the hardware devices on the XO, use built-in functions like selftest diagnostics and games, and even write complete applications, without needing any external tools. The bulk of Open Firmware is written in Forth, so the source level debugger can be used to debug Open Firmware itself.

More accurately - it dimmed at an incredible rate ~1480 years ago and we are just now seeing the light from that event.
Do we not get a category if we take morphisms from A to B to be expressions of type B with a free variable of type A (thus, morphisms are non-closed terms), and composition of f with g to be substitution of g into the free variable in f? This is automatically associative with proper identities, anyway, even with a purely syntactic notion of morphism equivalence. Of course, one will probably want to impose a coarser notion of equivalence to reason categorically about Haskell in near-usual ways, and perhaps subtleties plague all attempts to do so usefully.

The magrittr monad
The ability to find (or manufacture) this "flow" state on a regular basis is probably one of the most underrated personal and professional skills (interestingly, it's also one that you can't really interview for in others).

This article seems to treat the ability to get in "flow" as an intrinsic quality of the individual or a superpower to unlock. In my experience, like everything else in life, there's no "secret", only an iterative process through which you learn and improve. These things have been the most helpful for me:

• Taking care of the rest of my life: trying to eat well, work out, get enough sleep, etc.

• Constantly identifying things that slow me down or cause mental exhaustion (tiring processes, poor work environment, poor tools), and making fixing them a priority

• Consciously hyping myself up; motivation doesn't always come easily. When I'm having a hard time focusing, envisioning a future self that's gone through this work and have achieved what I want to achieve helps orient and motivate me. If you're a competitive person like I am, treating it as a competition helps.

• Once deciding on a strategic direction and sitting down to work, staying focused only the next piece of work to complete. Similar to the "one game at a time" mantra from competitive sports.

• Cultivating an unwavering belief that I will succeed at <thing>, it's just a matter of practice and dedication.
If dogs are bred to herd, it seems reasonable that there'd be trouble if they aren't herding.

But many dogs know several hundred words. I hypothesize that with breeding this could be increased substantially. Perhaps even sentences. I'm not convinced that would cause them to be destructive.

Somewhat interesting and related is that software that performs medical diagnoses better than doctors has existed since the 1970s (Mycin, an expert system). It seems like nowadays that this kind of solution can possibly be provided at scale at a consumer level (can process new medical knowledge by itself, be installed on commodity hardware), not an expert myself though so I don't know if totally true. What exciting times though.

Very odd. To my knowledge, STAG2 deletions or mutations don't respond any differently to most other primary or secondary AMLs. (In fact, usually a secondary AML is a worse diagnosis as it means they have progressed from something like MDS, which itself has a shitty prognosis). Something is not quite right here.

One possibility is that Seishi Ogawa's group has figured out that something off-label can more effectively treat cohesin mutants and it is under review. But I'm not sure how Watson would have known about that. Interesting.

Probably my reading is flawed, but this doesn't make sense.
Fair enough, not trying to put words in your mouth, but here's the thing: the "white privilege" narrative that you rely on here IS actually a way of declaring a group of people as being morally unworthy. Granted you didn't use the word "evil" but if a group is permanently tarred with the accusation that their group interests are not legitimate and never will be, it's not a stretch to suggest that this group is being accused of a kind of eternal "Original Sin" from which they can never be cleansed.

And anyway, it's clear from your explanation that if these people were not white, you might have some sympathy for them. How else are we to interpret statements like: "they cannot point to any injustices visited upon them as an excuse for their current state of affairs" and that "these people have nothing to offer to anyone" a few lines after you elucidate how the US Govt did nothing to protect American manufacturing jobs? What exactly do foreign manual laborers "have to offer" that white Americans don't, aside from being cheaper?

Cities can, have, and do function with fewer cars than most American cities. Reducing parking is the fairest way to reduce the usage and eventually necessity of cars.

Chicago has a few streets like these and they're great. The bike line is protected from traffic by the parking lane. Parallel parking a car is easier, and the bikes are protected from the driver-side doors as well as traffic. The pedestrian lane is, of course, the sidewalk.

You just have to really commit - a few protected blocks is nice, but people may not feel safe until it's the majority of their journey. Left turns are still intimidating.

>delivery trucks.

I'm extremely perturbed when there are large trucks stopped in the street. Loading docks are a thing - that building's decision to not have one is a classic case of dumping what should be its costs on everyone else.

I'm more sympathetic to taxi/uber pickups and dropoffs, since although they also tend to block traffic (and frequently encroach on the bike lane) it's still better than more cars driving and parking.

It generates electromagnetic energy in the same sense that noise cancelling headphones generate sound. The net effect is that it interferes destructively with the original incoming waves, never adding on to them. Whether that legally counts as generating interference, I have no idea.

(all that assuming I actually understand how Faraday cages work)

Addendum: maybe "generates" isn't the right word, since noise cancelling headphones make their own sounds from a power source, while this is totally passive redirection. You wouldn't say a mirror generates light, after all.
What are you talking about? Removing, say, 10% of parking spots per year for 8 years wouldn't require any of that. It would result in the same frustration that people already have and already cope with: "it sucks to park in the city."

I read it as an estimate of worst-case latency, which will be a sum of many different latencies at different layers of the service: application, network, database, disk, memory, synchronization, CPU contention, VM contention - the whole lot.
Nobody is going to care about transit unless it's for everybody and not just for the poor. Also, oftentimes the best way to make transit better is to divert resources away from individual automotive transport. A dedicated bus lane means fewer lanes for cars. Wide sidewalks mean fewer lanes for cars. For streetcars and light rail to be effective alternatives to driving they have to be grade-separted, and that means fewer lanes for cars. Money that could be spent widening a freeway could instead be built constructing a subway.

Cars are also a classic example of socializing losses and privatizing gains. Taxpayers build and maintain the roads, air pollution and carbon emissions affect the global climate, and pedestrians and cyclists are driven out of public space in fear for their lives, but at least you can get point-to-point between your house and Wal-Mart. There are ways in which driving will always be "better" for the individual driver, but only in a fundamentally selfish and antisocial way.
>So our universe must fundamentally be a supernatural creation?

In my comment I wasn't making the argument that our universe must fundamentally be a supernatural creation. I was trying to show that presupposing it is a natural creation is not philosophically neutral, especially when what we have observed naturally seems to oppose the idea of energy or matter coming out of nowhere.

>What is your evidence?
From my perspective, accepting the probability of a transcendent creator is a reasonable conclusion to draw based on the existence of the universe. I realize that will be judged to be a 'faith position', but from my perspective so is supposing it could exist on it's own.

I continue to be baffled by the arcane units in the US.

This uses a measure on the completely wrong abstraction level.

An accidental production process now defines a wire unit instead the end result the consumer/engineer/technician wants to know (mm^2 or inch^2 oh no no it's pica^2 ?).

There must be some sociological phenomenon going on that keeps the US from adopting modern units. Maybe can't admit a shortcoming and fix it?

I disagree. Things that made sense on a tiny machine, like the original 8086's wraparound at 1 MB led to hacks like the A20 gate [1]. Or timing loops that were dependent on a processor running at 4.77 mhz, requiring things like the turbo button. Compatibility is a balancing game, because you end up needing to keep bugs lying around that otherwise would be fixed at some point in a newer architecture. I'm more of the opinion that we're much better off explicitly emulating those areas, so they are run in their own context and it's a lot easier to mitigate damage. While compatibility is a positive thing, improvement is a much more positive thing.

> I regularly write static methods and test them with JUnit

Implementing mock objects which return "unexpected" results is impossible with static methods.

The standard 1 interface + 1 impl pattern in Java is just so that the Proxy.newProxyInstance can create a decorated or mocked object for testing.

So you can test the methods directly, but you can't write failure-inducing methods (like a connect exception throwing one) which test the methods which use it.

>A dedicated bus lane means fewer lanes for cars

>For streetcars and light rail to be effective alternatives to driving they have to be grade-separted, and that means fewer lanes for cars.

Yes, and setting dedicated right-of-way for public transit makes it faster, which should compensate for at least some of the reduced drivability in the overall navigability of the city. I think this counts as making transit better first (or at least at the same time).
