I was just reading Michael Nielson's free ebook: Neural Networks and Deep Learning: A Principle-Oriented Approach[1] yesterday. When Dr. Nielsen tries to reason why it may or may not have a simple algorithm that represent the intelligence, this excerpt strike me the most:

In the 1970s and 1980s Marvin Minsky developed his "Society of Mind" theory,
based on the idea that human intelligence is the result of a large
society of individually simple (but very different) computational processes
which Minsky calls agents. In his book describing the theory, Minsky sums up
what he sees as the power of this point of view:

What magical trick makes us intelligent? The trick is that there is no trick.
The power of intelligence stems from our vast diversity, not from any single,
perfect principle.

Thought it's relevant to mention about it.

Facebook's Oculus has already tried to go the way of exclusives and walled gardens so I doubt it will take off. PC gamers are an opinionated noisy bunch and they will cause all kinds of drama for Facebook if they aren't as open as Steam. I don't really get this anyway. Steam works. Origin and Battle.net kinda make sense since those are the publisher's platform, and there's also GoG's Galaxy. There's really not any more room for another competitor.
Would be nice to know whether supporting a non-unix system makes sense for a language like Go. Thanks.
For those confused on what sub-prime fico scores are:

"Historically, subprime borrowers were defined as having FICO scores below 640" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subprime_lending#cite_note-Lo-...

"550-620: Subprime." -- http://www.credit.org/what-is-a-good-credit-score-infographi...
That's kind of odd considering that the failure mode of shock absorbers that are overheated is to pop their seals and lose pressure. I'm sure with a pile of them to set on fire you could figure out a way to make them go boom. Sounds like a "it happened once therefore policy change kind of thing", but I'm not qualified to judge firefighting techniques.

The thing about bumpers just sounds plain dated. Nothing's had bumper shocks since the 1980s and most sedans don't have an appreciable amount of metal in the bumper to the point where it's about as structural as the core support and the time would be better spent on a different part of the problem. Citation?

Bollea's lawyer (paid for by Thiel, and who should be disbarred for his clear violation of basic legal ethical standards) made multiple trial decisions that punished Gawker at Bollea's expense.

Besides, the specific case is a red herring -- Thiel simply got very lucky that one of the many lawsuits he was secretly funding against Gawker was so cut-and-dry. Had he not gotten that dropped in his lap, he would have continued funding other secret nuisance lawsuits until he was able to find something else with a substantial judgement (and then would have done what he did in this case -- announce that it was him in order to produce a chilling effect on other news organizations reporting negatively about his investments). You can't be simultaneously in favor of the legality of what Thiel did and against this: http://www.motherjones.com/media/2015/10/mother-jones-vander...
> someone uses Facebook to post something I'd like to read (like yann lecun or john carmack) because it's a step backwards. It'd be like Doom being released as an AOL exclusive.

I've been loving using Node.js for scripts. You get all the NPM goodies plus STDIO, and they end up working just as well as shell scripts.

One of the big advantages IMO is that I only need to master one language for all of my needs, from browser to server to shell :)
And Brazilians continue to boo foreign athletes. To the point of tears. As a nation of sports fans and as hosts, that is the face they choose to show the world: booing their guests in athletic competition.

Instantly replacing everything would require:

* Paying out a large number of contracts which have cancellation clauses (don't complain too much about these, the companies at the other end of the contract made good faith investments due to them)
* Quickly finding people to handle all of those prisons

Alternatively you can simply let each individual contract fail to renew which allows you to take your time finding replacements for everything you need.

Yes, hence why everyone that doesn't make games is super excited. UE4 is the superior engine, made by a company that actually makes games. Networking, rendering, UI, lots more -- it all comes built-in to ue4 where unity has built this plugins ecosystem that is sort of a mess.

Also, does Unity still not give you the source code? I assume they'll change this soon enough; you get the source code with ue4.

I kind of see it like blender vs maya or something. Lots of people are using blender, and it's very powerful. But industry is using Maya (because it's more powerful), and that won't change for a bit I think (good for autodesk).
And it WILL be released if the pack is breached.

Wait, what? Caltrain single-zone one-way with clipper is $3.75 [1], so that would mean your UberPool ride was less than $2. I've never seen that (after the promotions anyway).

The numbers might be close if you brought a second person with you, since you'd have to compare against two tickets vs UberPool + $1, but you say "a 1-way ticket".

[1] $3.20 with Clipper Card, but I'm erring on the side of making the numbers favorable to your claim. http://www.caltrain.com/Fares/farechart.html
A language whose type level allows you to express arbitrary mathematical propositions can't possibly have as good inference as ML and Haskell have, because higher-order unification is known to be undecidable. Agda and Idris require manual type annotations for all let-bound identifiers. Coq requires all dependent pattern-matching blocks to be type-annotated. This is a real chore, and dependent types will never become mainstream unless their usability improves significantly.

What I have in mind is one way to hopefully achieve that “significant usability improvement”:

(0) Have dependent types, but restrict them to be first-order. This is good enough for programming purposes: invariants of data structures can almost always be expressed as first-order formulas.

(1) Use known and proven type inference technology: generate a system of type-level equations, and solve them via first-order unification, which is known to be decidable and tractable in practice.

But I don't see anyone in the FP community exploring this possibility.
That's step 2; usually happens months after step 1 (and the bingo marks are all there: "we are joining X, do not fear, what a journey"), proferred here.

This is what I'm currently using for taking my long-reads to my Kindle. Except it doesn't always work well. For eg, with the recent NYTimes article on the Arab world[0], it didn't give me the entire content. As a hack, I found that selecting all of the content and then using that as input worked, but I'm still losing out on all the images and some formatting.

There's a IETF WG working on this[1]. It's been a while since I checked on the progress, so this might not be up-to-date, but it was DNS-based, with a way to export to a static file like the PSL (I'd assume in order to avoid the performance impact of browsers having to wait for another DNS query to determine cookie scope, etc.)

Would you prefer paying the $30 or $50 / month for 2GB like a few years ago? T-Mobile has consistently demonstrated an appetite for pushing the boundaries of their network and their offerings for customers. I wouldn't be surprised if this (like many other previous up-charges) is phased out after a period of time.

Caveat: I'm a happy T-Mobile customer.

Why does somebody always have to come and make this argument? Nobody is arguing what Twitter is doing is illegal, but rather whether they should do it or not. The legality of their actions is clear and obvious.

This seems similar to the tired old "not all X" argument that is the first thing to come out in response to obvious generalizations. Please reconsider its use in the future.

Well, in C++, "const" isn't actually intended to mean "literally const", it's supposed to mean "const in spirit". You can be const and still change some of the bits of an object if that change doesn't (semantically) change the object. To be able to do that, you need to be able to cast away const-ness. (No, I can't think of a reasonable example at the moment.)

It would be fair to ask whether that intent was a good idea. It would also be fair to point out that many (most) times people cast away const-ness simply out of expediency, rather than using it the way it was intended.
[video]Marc Andreessen's Onion Theory of Risk for Fundraising
Shorting is a risk. Shorting with big money is a big risk.

In this case though, my impression is that certain people who actually looked at the data knew it would happen. Not like "I think it will happen", it was "it will happen sometime in this month of this year" kind of thing. Because they knew when those stupid ARMs would kick in with their adjustable rates on top of the obvious number of failed mortgages. The risk wasn't that it would not happen, it was that high level people in finance and government would take steps to keep things moving along which would prevent them from cashing in. There was a great deal of fraud throughout that whole thing propping up the failed system.

In the fifth paragraph: "But this is a new Microsoft". They are acknowledging that they made mistakes in the past due to which the missed out big on the server market. As much as .NET is popular, it would have been a lot more popular (vs Java ecosystem) if they were OSS from the beginning. As primarily a Java developer, C# seems more elegant to code in.

As they say - the first step to fixing a problem is admitting that you have a problem.
Free speech and the first amendment are different things. People aren't being unreasonable when they moan about the curtailing of free speech on Twitter.

Uber's main selling point has been availability when there are no taxis (hence surge pricing). If you can't get an Uber once it starts raining, someone else will eat their lunch.

And for trucks, will you let supermarkets go dry once it starts raining? Otherwise you need to keep drivers on retainer. And then you might as well just have them drive for minimum wage.

How is having a stiffer front fork going to help? (My front fork is steel; my bike is not stiff.)
You seem to be fixated on this idea that this is purely a performance optimization. You’ve made it your strawman. But that is in fact only one minor point.

Linux is lacking a coherent IPC system and the necessary primitives to build one. That’s the bottom line.
Shutting down the product is one way a company can qualify for ourincrediblejourney. I would argue that another way is the "we're being acquired by $RANDOM, so thanks for all your personal data!" track.
Actually, lots of people argue that platform X is messing with their "right" to "free speech" whenever this issue comes up. Even the article mentioned this. That's why I brought it up.

The predictions of the model I have thought about regarding this question are fairly intuitive. Exposure to evidence is important. Integrating networks is likely important, too, though I haven't done those simulations yet.
I really wish Twitter had some kind of release mechanism for suspended names. Here's another 235k account names that will never be available again.
$70/mo for the first line is very expensive. You really have to be using more than 5-6 GB of data every month for this to make sense.
>Suppose I enter the email address "geofft@example.net@example.com". It validates according to your rule. Where does it go?

Slight word charge on the rule. "..one and only one of which is @..." with characters within quotations ("") not being counted. Quotations need to be considered because this is a valid email address: [0]

`"very.(),:;<>[]\".VERY.\"very@\\ \"very\".unusual"@strange.example.com`

>Suppose, furthermore, that I upgrade my servers and they start parsing it differently. They're allowed to do that, right? Maybe my old MTA sent a confirmation email to example.net, and the new one is now sending emails to a user named "geofft@example.net" at example.com.

If you upgrade your servers and they parse incorrectly by inserting quotations where there were no quotations entered, then the parsing is bugged. Although the validation was bugged to begin with for allowing two delimiters in an email address.

Furthermore, if anyone uses an email that is so heavily eccentric just because it is "technically valid" I'm sure they don't expect their email to work most of the time.

The navy used to use this thing called asbestos to do just that. Then people complained about safety and the good times came to an end. Ironic how you're basically asking for something to do what asbestos was good at for a safety application.

Insight on how to be incredibly wrong on a housing bubble?
i have a hard time with this argument. on one hand what you say is true: C# is a strictly smaller community than java. OTOH that's true of pretty much any language, and yet python, ruby, elixir, swift, golang, etc. communities are healthy and vibrant.

if what you really mean is 'java people won't switch to C# anyway', then i agree, but C# isn't a really a language for them. it's a language for people who don't like and/or aren't forced to use java by their employers.
It's been feasible for about a decade on modest hardware, just not at super-high resolutions and framerates that most people expect from modern GPUs. (Outbound was a sort of a technology demo/student project game that I remember being sluggish but playable on a Core 2 Duo.)

Also, plain raytracing can look kind of bland. Most global illumination algorithms are based on ray tracing, but require tracing a very large number of rays. So, really the question is more whether we can get to real-time path tracing, which is a harder problem.

Another problem is tooling. Game developers know how to get good performance on GPUs, but ray-tracers have completely different performance characteristics. Re-building a bounding volume hierarchy is, in general, O(NlogN), so you have to be careful about partitioning your scene into things that move/deform and things that don't and only rebuild the parts of the BVH that need updating.

Agreed, however this tactic was also used in run of the mill cash-envelope and bid fixing schemes.

I too am pleased with the outcome. However, the law is about fairness in process, not fairness in outcome. In a case like this, the judge is often so disgusted by the defendant that they make up their mind and find a legal justification afterwards.

The precedent judges set in order to convict "bad" defendants can then be used in other less serious cases. From this comes the common saying amongst lawyers, "Bad cases make bad law."

For example, raiding a paedophile's home without a warrant or probable cause is satisfying, and often just in outcome. However, it is not just in process if the judge allows the evidence to be admitted. If a precedent is set in that case, prosecutors will take it as judicial license to raid more homes without warrants. The evidence from those raids can then be admitted under whatever tortured theory the appellate judge used to ensure the paedophile was convicted.

Remember, once the government sets a precedent, there is nothing to keep them from applying it to you.

>Also, I keep mentioning this, but .NET lacks a build tool like Maven or something similar (SBT, Gradle, Leiningen).
