I started practicing literate programming recently, and I don't think I can go back to writing code like I used to. So I get excited when I see projects like this. I especially liked the quote by Knuth on the knitr page:

> Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs: Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to humans what we want the computer to do.

This is exactly what we're trying to do with Eve [1]. Right now we're commonmark compatible, so we support the same kind of workflow as this project: write markdown as usual, code blocks are executable Eve code. For example, here's an implementation of TodoMVC written as a literate program [2].

How does someone downvote another for presenting a fact? What I have learned from Hackernews is at this point is not to participate in non-technical discussions. As they are mostly just mob mentality. How do you downvote someone that took the time to participate in a discussion? Its amazing to see that every single comment I have made in this discussion has been downvoted? I've said nothing outrageous, I have offered different points of view? I have taken the time to articulate myself and every single comment is downvoted?
Is it silent?

The statistics and data aggregation seem pretty robust. Most governments publish data reinforcing that suicide is a huge risk factor for men.

I don't think It's a silent epidemic as much as It's just not an important epidemic. Society doesn't necessarily rank the problem of male suicide high enough to fix or fund.
Our perception of reality absolutely agrees with QFT -- in the medium-energy medium-scale environments that humans operate in. Everyday physics is a limiting case of QFT.

Our mental heuristics don't work for very high/low energies or small/large scales because we don't operate on those scales.

We had no reason to evolve other heuristics.

If you look at the Red Cross you have a lot of volunteers working for free so I would expect management to also make less. Seems being CEO of a non-profit gives you a good image because you are "giving back" while still making good money.
Looks like it's just an optimization. If you change to

let test_curry x y = x + y + x

You get the expected output

function f(param) {
return test_curry(32, param);
}
I've always thought that PhD students should band together and refuse to run experiments for one week.

Cucumber grading has been automated for years. Look on YouTube for automated cucumber grading systems.[1][2] There are many competing vendors. The commercial machines process their video locally and don't need "the cloud". They're also much faster.

Fruit and vegetable sorting using computer vision is routine. That's why commercial produce is so consistent - it's been pre-sorted. The existing technologies are so fast that it's routine to inspect and sort peas, and possible to sort grains of rice.

Most of the cost and complexity in the commercial machines is in the material handling. There are conveyors and devices to get the individual items lined up.
Cleaning and washing stations are usually part of the line. Commercial machines have to be built sturdily so they survive continuous use, and have to be cleanable with high-pressure soapy water. The little unit that does machine vision is a minor part of the processing line.

AI techniques are routinely used. Support vector machines are popular. One Indian system uses fuzzy logic. ANNs have been tried but are not yet popular.

The systems generally measure user-defined features - length, width, curvature, color, flaws - which then go into a simple grading algorithm. They're not trying to match human decisions.

To be honest, I hadn't heard of any of these static hosting providers. I've used S3/Google Cloud Storage with Cloudflare to get SSL. For low traffic sites this setup is effectively free and very easy to set up.
The author didn't even consider hosting on AWS directly, using S3? It's super cheap -- the biggest expense is buying a domain and hosting DNS. And HTTPS is straightforward as well, thanks to Certificate Manager!

I recently wrote a tutorial for how to get a static site set up with S3 and CloudFront: https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/deploy-static-site-a... I'm curious if others would find it useful?

This is just a prototype - and an effective one at that because as you demonstrated it's a good starting point to brainstorm about where this technology could go if someone invested real time into developing it. So I wouldn't over analyze this.

I personally think it's exciting to see average-person real world use cases for these new deep learning tools. I wasn't going in expecting a fully-fleshed out system. It's just one guy helping out his parents with a summer project.

Historically the power of a civilization was based on size and quality of the arable land it controlled. 1750's onward there was a switch to the amount of energy resources it's controlled. it's why France was the dominate power in Europe until the British and Germans started using coal to fuel their industries.

> the products have to come from "the approved network"[1]

This network also includes crowdfunding sites. Kickstarter's been promoting their involvement in this a lot for the past couple months. I'll probably see if this deal can get my recently-kickstarted graphic novel some extra promotion once it's shipping, since I'm already planning to use Amazon for fulfillment anyway.

Your thing has to be about a month away from shipping to consumers; if they allowed more of a lead time on that I'd have an application in progress.

(https://www.kickstarter.com/blog/1920)
But isn't a computation that consumes and produces strings a function String -> String? (Or perhaps ordered_set<String> -> ordered_set<String>?)

It also seems kind of ironic to have the functional programming people in the camp that says that there's no such things as functions...
>Al­though men die by suicide at a higher rate, women have a higher rate of attempting suicide.16 This pattern is evident among youth and persists over the lifespan.

Why is this? I've read before that modes of suicide tend to be gendered -- ie, gunshots to the head for men and overdoses for women. Is this the entire story? Are women more likely, consciously or unconsciously, to be social signaling for support than men when they attempt suicide?

I lost my brother to suicide three years ago. I began attending counseling this year after a protracted period of personal turmoil in its aftermath, and it's a topic I spend a lot of thought on. When I was younger and less psychologically moored I thought of suicide as the ultimate lever I could wield over my own fate. Not so much these days, though.
Ran into this today and looked up the error; turns out I'm not alone and this is a widespread problem with the Anniversary Update.

> I am not trying to be a hater. Deep learning has huge potential, and Google, among others, is doing a lot to make it accessible. That said, this type of over-promising ahead of market reality is what gives cutting edge technology a bad name.

Actually, this type of marketing is _exactly_ what is needed to get people interested in applications for this technology.

This particular farmer, perhaps, is an unusual case in that they went straight to machine learning with sexy new tools. However, machine vision has been used for applications in agriculture even as long as 20 years ago (I know this personally :-) )

It isn't at all surprising that a farmer decided to go "cutting edge" with a little help from Google. In fact the theory for the "diffusion of innovation" was based largely on observations of FARMERS!!(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations). What I am saying is that although farmers seem to have an undeserved reputation for being low-tech, some are _very_ adept at technology especially when it has the potential to give them an advantage in the market.

Not specifically about C#, but about something that is also on the radar of people who is developing LoB apps with .NET which is Domain Driven Design. The book by Eric Evans is the bible on the subject, but I also find it very abstract and hard to grasp with no prior knowledge and lack of concrete examples.

Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns: With Examples in C# and .NET is a bit old, but still a good resource on how to implement some sort of DDD.

>I guess it depends on the data we are talking about?

Absolutely it depends.

> But the vast majority of people aren't handling "sensitive" data.

I don't think that is necessarily true, but it would depend on how you define "sensitive". If you are storing data in the cloud that you are happy sharing with the public, then security isn't an issue. However, many people backup all of their data in the cloud (you need look no further then OneDrive that comes with every copy of Windows 10). This includes their financial information, tax returns, intimate personal information, and other things that would horrify them if they were exposed to the public. Most do so without understanding the risks because cloud computing has been sold so heavily by the government, corporations, and media outlets.

And we aren't just talking about individuals. Many, if not most, corporations use cloud computing to store their data. This includes financial data, customer information, credit cards, account numbers, and everything else you can imagine.

I'm not trying to argue cloud computing doesn't have its uses. I have no problem using the Steam cloud to save my game in Civilization 5, regardless of how insecure their servers are. But the risks are very real any time you entrust your data (or anything else) to a third party, and they should be recognized.
No. Google Drive data is encrypted when being transferred, but not at rest.

My guess is that Google does not like encryption as it prevents de-duplication between users.

For end-to-end Google Drive encryption you'll an app like BoxCrypter or SyncDocs.
I am currently reading Sapiens and for me the takeaway thought from this book is that large scale social transformations (like agricultural or industrial revolutions) immeasurably increase the power of humanity as a whole while bringing hitherto unknown woes for the individuals.

I am quite convinced that invention of computers and the internet marks the beginning of the revolution on the same scale. Why should it be different then? Interesting and not quite pleasant times lie ahead.
> Just modify the standard search algorithm to ignore empty slots (rather than terminate the search) and keep going until you’ve probed longer than the known maximum probe length for the whole table.

Why does it need to keep searching after it hits an empty slot? Can't it terminate the search if it hits the max probe length or an empty slot?

But again, would it really make any significant difference in the vast majority of users?

If slack had taken the time to devote another team to developing another application (because they still need to support the web), possibly multiple applications for each platform, would they be where they are today?

Would that time and money pay off in any way? I really believe it wouldn't. To save a few hundred mb of RAM, you are looking at triple or quadruple your development and maintenance costs, not to mention making it that much more costly to add new features. That doesn't seem like a good payoff.

Obviously in places where it did make a difference (mobile platforms) they went completely native, and it shows in both the positive and the negative. Their mobile apps look and feel native, and work quite well, but they lag behind the "web based" clients in features. (most notably the new voice chat options are not in the mobile versions)

In a perfect world every application would be custom developed for each and every platform, and no expense would be paid to ensure that there are 0 wasted resources, but we are far from a perfect world.

Having a slack app that runs on any desktop platform, feels the same between all of them, and allows Slack as a company to exist is a win in my book, even if it uses a few hundred mb more than it should (which again, for me it only uses 100mb of ram, that's 1/320th of my total ram on this machine, and only like 40mb more than the tab that i'm writing this comment on is taking).
Why does deep and cheap learning work so well?
Are there any costs beyond (I assume) wanting to buy your thing at a wholesale price? I've got a graphic novel I just kickstarted and am curious about this program, but they won't take any applications that aren't about a month from shipping.
Well, that's not exactly right. It's a bit less cool.

The author's right to put their articles in open access is not immediate, it happens at the soonest of:

— when the publisher make the article freely available itself, or

— 6 months after initial publication in sciences, or 12 months in humanities.
And it seems that most of the "my way is superior to yours" is based on setting up strawmen of "yours" to make it be addressing the same questions as "mine".
I think the same incentive is present in the "real world." As a manager, it was in my short term self interest to inflate performance reviews. The company was aware of this, and imposed quotas, which only amplified the incentive but made the reviews less effective and more political.
AWS S3 with static website enabled. Put a Cloudfront distribution in front of it. The whole thing won't cost you even $1 USD/month. Infinite scaling. Great tooling.
I disagree. I am one of the developers and we listen to meta all the time.
I recommend doing a few things:

1) Read papers about this stuff, attend conferences about this stuff, and try to implement some of it yourself. For this particular set of techniques, SIGGRAPH is a good conference to attend and their proceedings are full of good papers to read.

2) Make a project that uses some of these techniques on your own. It can be open source, or it can be an app you sell on your favorite app store, or whatever. It doesn't really matter.

3) Look for a new job that uses some of this stuff. You don't have to jump right into working at Facebook or Google. There are smaller companies out there that do this type of stuff.

My story is that I was working for a company that sold large database services to large retailers. It paid pretty well, but was boring as hell. After working for a few years and saving up, I looked for a job doing the stuff I was interested in. I found one. It didn't work out and I quit after 4 months. But the next one! The next one worked out! It was a bunch of image processing stuff. They were a small company and needed someone with some graphics experience. I had never shipped anything graphics related, but I had written a bunch of graphics tools for fun for myself to learn how it all worked. It was enough to get the job. My pay probably stayed the same for 2 years as I went from job to job, but my happiness increased. After 3 or 4 years at the company, I left and started my own company doing graphics work. I did that for about 5 years and eventually decided to go work for one of the big companies that's doing cool stuff with this.

You can do this. It just takes time and effort.

>two identical encrypted files.

Good practice for file encryption is to pad some random bytes to the start of a file. This makes known cyphertext attacks much harder.

So encrypting identical files should result in different files and also slightly different length files.

That seems incredibly reductionist, and you might as well say they're the same because "you add a bunch of numbers together and see if the result is bigger or less than zero."

As a foreigner with strong accent, often typing in multiple languages, speech recognition has always been at best hit and miss.

No sure how the technology has evolved recently, but that's already shameful enough when a cashier don't understand you, I wouldn't want my phone to do the same in public. My pride requires me to avoid speech recognition nowadays.

Bad news though - some countries like Spain have decided to offer more friendly automated phone service replacing "type 0 to whatever" by using speech recognition. That's a nightmare.
