I get that this is a free service and all, but I find that ridiculous. They are basically crippling the functionality of a service that is global and it is not aimed at a particular application, based on a very localized interpretation of what is nice to say and what is not... this should be controlled at the application level, the API providing at most hints about the tone.

Depending on what you use it on, this could render the service useless. Imagine using it to, I don't know, trying to identify Pulp Fiction sentences against a corpus of scripts. It would fail spectacularly.

Another example context on where this could fail very quickly is when considering people from other languages, e.g., if I'm not wrong, saying "Jesus!" might be impolite in (some contexts of) the US. In Spain, we say "Jesus!" when you sneeze, instead of "Bless you!" (and, in general, we are outrageously foul-mouthed compared to the US).
I'm amazed that the layout is based on character common bigrams, rather than some logical systems. Imagine the hunting down a character you don't remember where is, or that you've forgotten was replaced with a different key.

Don't even bother reading it: whenever there is a question on the headline of an article from a serious major news outlet, the answer is NO. Seriously it's like that EVERY time. 100%. Literally. Early ages of click-bait when it wasn't even clicking but buying read-bait. Sensationalism and controversy always sell but they have to keep some kind of integrity to be taken seriously, right? Anyway: Challenger, Columbia, Apollo 1. Those were actual disasters. That was actually taking it too far. And the industry learned from those failures and put in place the necessary failsafes to avoid them. Doesn't mean there aren't more to come. Blowing up stuff to get into space is still blowing up stuff. Nevermind driving thousands of cars in actual traffic millions of miles. But what SpaceX is doing, testing on production non manned vehicles, doesn't even compare to what both USA and Russia were doing during the space race. The only problem is it upsets shareholders, and I'm pretty sure the amount of people trying to short this stock is reaching critical mass, so they better be more careful because the real shitstorm of defamation and FUD is yet to come...

On decent speakers you can definitely hear the difference when you switch from a lossless to a lossy format.

The blind tests may be confusing if you switch between the formats repeatedly in a short period of time but if you listen lossless audio for a long time and then you suddenly switch to a lossy format you can definitely sense the difference.

"I removed comments from JSON because I saw people were using them to hold parsing directives, a practice which would have destroyed interoperability. I know that the lack of comments makes some people sad, but it shouldn't.

Suppose you are using JSON to keep configuration files, which you would like to annotate. Go ahead and insert all the comments you like. Then pipe it through JSMin before handing it to your JSON parser.﻿"

I think that's an unfair comparison. The reason for EE is to in the end ship products, often many, that works a long time. You can (to some extent) disregard good practices, barely read the datasheets and cobble things together in EE too, but that isn't the default. Make a novel enough amplifier and it can be relevant for decades, while technologies like webgl are often emerging until they are obsolete.

> I honestly don't care what kind of political views, personal preferences, outrageous statements or whatever problems a speaker at a conference might have, as long as he gives a good talk/presentation.

I find it interesting if a speaker has vastly different preferences, political views and makes outrageous statements that I'd never make.

That doesn't mean I'm always comfortable with it, but it's interesting to think about how people came to be different than me. It's interesting to see their interaction with others. I might learn something, even if I disagree.

Having all people be "my way" on the other hand, sounds really numb.
Such things could have a very negative effect on people whose native language isn't English. I mean, if even native speakers get into troubles so easily what should I, as a non-native speaker, expect?

I maintain a tiny blog and because of possible language barriers I decided to write all of my texts in English. It could've been much easier for me to write in German, of course, but this would exclude so many people. And this was simply unacceptable from my point of view.

My command of English isn't very strong but I'd like to paraphrase german philosopher Karl Homann: "The opposite of Moral isn't Immoral but to moralize".

I know nothing about the events there but when I read things like "public shaming" or "slut shaming" or "trigger warnings" or "social justice warriors" then I can only follow the "pragmatic solutions" to solve problems of that kind: avoid conferences, avoid any kind of non-technical discussion in English, avoid the community as a whole.

The man is simply saying that the underlying neurological mechanism (i.e. mirror neurons ) used to decode others behaviour and possbily make a prediction about "what they're up to" is used also to decode/simulate our own actions, which is really what we call self awarness. This actually makes quite a lot of sense, and I don't see why some pople detect a circular dependecy here..

At sensory level our own "doing" is not really different then sombody else's "doing" , and that can pe processed by the same mechanism, but reconized as "our own doing" based on additional cues..
> humans are not 'apex super predators'

That link [5] is missing the point that humans don't fit into that concept. It also makes a pretty big error saying that humans are about the same level as a pig... while both are omnivorous gluttons, humans have no other animal that routinely eats them, whereas almost all pigs are food for humans.

If there was another animal Foo that was omnivorous, yet routinely farmed and ate level 5 predators (sharks, crocodiles) along with plenty of other animals and plants, and that Foo had no animal that routinely ate it, and that Foo also slaughtered other animals for lots of non-food products, would you really place it at 2 out of 5 and say it wasn't a super-predator? "it's just one step away from plants" would be a nonsensical way to describe this Foo.
An additional problem is it says only police are allowed to buy the kit.

"Commercial license also avaiable (sic) on request."

Seriously?
I just decided I wasn't happy at my 9 to 5 job. What followed was a deduction that unhappiness means there's an opportunity I'm missing. So I started observing and found what I wanted at the moment--I started working part-time at a small software organization doing systems integration. The transition was flawless--I didn't need to stay at my corporate job.

Of course, such undertakings are a bit risky. After a few months I found my money starting to melt as I wasn't receiving stable income from the new place I enjoyed working in. Doing a bachelor's degree while teaching and working quite prevented me from seeing how this money meltdown would shortly lead to some uncanny situation of mine. So, with about 3 months delay I understood that I'm in another unhappy situation and I should start observing for the new opportunity I was missing.

Here comes a time for some background. For about 3 years I was living with a close friend of mine who is involved with an organization called Camplight--a digital cooperative working in the web outsourcing business. Things were quite great in this company and it was a bunch of sustainable, playful and hard-working people. I wanted to join them since I heard about it, but the lack of experience prevented me from doing so. However, during the years I worked a 9-5 job and switched to doing systems integration, I got quite experienced. Also, I loved to talk with my flatmate about Camplight and the challenges around being a part of a cooperative. And it started to click that this was the opportunity I was looking for.

And that's how I escaped a 9-5 job in about a year and am really happy about it. I'm doing quality software, communicating with valuable people and helping the cooperative grow.

It's not a method of classification, it's a way to mark what is classified (and at what level) and what is not. While I have never sent/received classified email, in the past, I have dealt with classified Navy message traffic. Markings like (C), (S), and (TS) were "portion marks" and marked subjects, paragraphs, etc. throughout the message. (U) is used to mark portions which are unclassified (in a classified message).

>I sometimes think this might be a bit of a positivist myth.

How so? For example: http://www.astronomynotes.com/history/s3.htm

Looks like an astronomy problem to me. Aristotle is also considered one of the early astronomers.

>On the other hand, most of the big philosophical puzzles that Aristotle engaged with remain largely untouched by developments in science

Exactly my point. Of the problems they worked on (and they worked on everything they could think of), the ones that we have solved we now consider science, the ones that are still unresolved we consider philosophy.

Sort of like the definition of AI: if we solve it, it's no longer considered AI.

I continually study more sources to improve my competence as a software developer. I have seen too many blunders as elementary as divisions by zero in code and understand that a decent understanding of math and CS aids in writing "better" programs. I have also experienced multiple accounts where my math/CS background, however limited, helped me find the right direction to venture towards. It helped me develop some sense of intuition that is extremely valuable in my line of work. So I will keep on studying.
Why to bother with various tradeoffs if you can get the best?(i.e lossless). You can make the same argument on video technologies(i.e HDR). The truth is that people usually adapt so "painful" audio or video quality stops being painful after a while.

It seems like quite a big jump going from "tech leadership has been part of my work" (sounds like a lead developer role) to VP (all your direct reports are managers/directors). (In a tiny startup, maybe someone who manages developers might be given a VP title, but if the company grows, a VP will eventually end up managing managers.)

I'm not a VP, but I report to a VP of development, so I've observed them up close. The important skills for VPs seem to be:

- People skills - most of their time is spent talking to other people (meetings and one-on-one conversations). They need to be able to communicate effectively with all types of non-technical people: executives, sales, marketing, product managment, customers, etc. - anyone who wants something from their development team.

- Being able to envision the future path of the product. This involves more than knowing technology - you have to know the product you're building very well, and understand how users use it.

- Understanding how the business works and what would make it successful.

- Being able to deal with difficult decisions like laying people off when the company isn't doing so well.
It can also be useful when you need a specific code that you used to solve a particular problem, or to store a configuration file.

The problem with fentanyl is that it's so potent, it's very easy to _massively_ overdose on it. Beyond what the standard dose of narcan can reverse.

It could be a really good use case for a crypto currency. But eg. Bitcoin needs too long for a finished transaction (I don't want to wait ~10 minuntes until I can read an article). And you still can track down a person who purchased (separately) two articles by his keys or analysing the block chain.

I know we've a lot of crypto currencies right now, but I really hope that there is finally a new one coming, which is just simply fast, secure and somehow helps you paying anonymously.

Of course. There is a field in AI that is dedicated to imitation learning.

See e.g. "Mirror neurons and imitation: a computationally guided review" at http://pacherie.free.fr/COURS/MSC/Oztop-Kawato-Arbib-2006.pd... for an overview.

The reason why you don't see so much of this type of literature is because the dominance of virtual AI: Google, Siri, etc. Hardware is expensive and learning with hardware is slow. However, the type of AI required is IMHO much more interesting. I think we really understand how our brains work if we have an AI competing at the Olympics.

I'm 100% in favor of social justice, fairness, decency, and the end of abusing the 99%, the end of gender pay gaps, the end of racism, sexism, etc, but THIS agenda we see here is NOT in service to anything decent and good:
this is "throw xyz under a bus because some influential people told us to"
and the real powerbroker here appears to be this William Golden...

Nodevember is just another groupthinktank and their actions have only brought dishonor and shame upon themselves!

(even assuming one wishes to distance oneself from a horrible speaker, claiming that one is speaking for all and creating a safe-space for all just mocks any concepts of safe spaces. what a load of sanctimonious drivel!)
I hate to blame the victim. I do not know enough about the circumstances, or the industry in general, to call negligence on Linode.
> using past data to predict future data and only storing the difference

Actually what you've described is essentially how all of lossless audio compression really works. You pre-process the signal to make it so that the 'important' parts don't take a bunch of space to store, then you feed it to a predictor, and then encode your difference in a way that it doesn't take a bunch of space to store. You can try to tune each step to try to make your next step perform better.

Lossy compression can be made to work similar, because you can just store a less accurate difference between what you predict and the original.

Indeed. It would be great if everyone who claims that gender neutral pronouns should be used could give a few examples, at least for us non native speakers. I get strange looks whenever I refer to people (hypothetical, or not) as "it", which would be the obvious gender neutral pronoun.

OK, but my point is, it doesn't make any sense to learn how to drive manual so that you can get a license permitting you to drive manual. If you didn't bother to learn, you wouldn't need the license.

But somehow multiple people are presenting the license as a reason to learn to drive manual when you otherwise wouldn't. Logically, that doesn't work.

There are some SSE instructions that crash if they're used with arguments that aren't 16 byte aligned. All of the ones I can think of have a version that supports unaligned access at a performance penalty, so it's basically just a choice by the ABI to require the stack to be 16 byte aligned at function call boundaries, so that functions don't have to verify that their stack frame has the proper alignment.

I agree that plans tend to change, but there exist completed projects and there exists legislation in this field (it's almost impossible at this moment to pass a law that is disapproved by regime, so if anything exists it means there's very strong support of it).
