No its not like remixing. Its more like listening to 200 songs and then writing one that sounds just like them.

More like turning the songs into series of numbers (say 44100 of these numbers per second) and then using an AI to predict which number comes next to make a song that sounds something like the 200. The result is not possible without ingesting the 200 songs but the 200 songs are not "contained" in the net and then sampled to produce the result like stitching together a recoding from other recordings by copying little bits.

The hairs split too fine at the bottom for our current legal system to really handle. That's why its interesting.
Intel needs everything to be NUMA-aware. They're betting a lot of money on Xeon Phi, and once the self-booting KNL machines are out nobody will want to deal with the pcie cards any more.

Yea, I think this is really the crux of it. The GA nor the pax know whether or not a battery or device is Li-ion.

I applaud the spirit of this, i.e. in trying to lay out a covenant with the community while still being entrepreneurial about building a commercial business to fund continued innovation and maintenance of the software.

The problem is that it falls into an outdated framing of the value of software. Namely, as more people around the world have gained significant expertise in coding, the skillsets needed to produce software is commoditizing. That skilled labor used to be scarce, and that meant that the fruit of that labor was scarce, and therefore the artifact itself was the thing to monetize.

Creative and clever licensing around software can "protect" software from certain kinds of things, but they cannot protect the software from being commoditized. And commoditization pressure is very high right now. Over the last 10 years, OSS has permeated into real enterprise adoption, and many of the deep reasons for enterprises to adopt open source software are tied precisely to those commoditizing factors.

So to build a sustainable business around software, you have to tie your price to the actual business value. In our modern times, when the skills to produce software are abundant, the thing that's valuable, then, is creating alignment on your API or framework or service, by earning the greatest mindshare among the collective labor pool that can maintain and innovate on software. And there's a huge virality to that, too - the game of developer mindshare is a winner-take-all game.

All this is to say: don't worry so much about defending the software, because that's not the valuable thing. The community around your software is what determines whether it is relevant 3 years from now. And having weird/new/different licensing terms can stifle the growth of that community.
You can't rebuild a server from backups? No snark, just wondering what I'm missing.
This is faith-based verification. You'd need to get down into the math, and even then, we're talking about stuff where it's not clear where the bleeding edge research ends and the real randomness begins. Worse, library methods can be stubbed out. Did you verify that this one is not stubbed out at this time, on your platform, in your particular jurisdiction? No? I didn't think so.

Note my only complaint is they don't identify their assertion as a belief.
I can -- I've been working on something that closely matches that description. Will reach out to you 1:1.
100% agree, similar experience
>For example, we now know that deep neural nets can be trained with approximate gradients obtained by shifting bits to get the sign and order of magnitude of the gradient roughly right.[1] In some cases it's even possible to restrict learning to use binary weights.[2] More recently, we have learned that it's possible to use "helper" linear models during training to predict what the gradients will be for each layer, in-between true-gradient updates, allowing layers to update their parameters locally during backpropagation.[3] Finally, don't forget that in the late 2000's, AI researchers were doing a lot of interesting work with unsupervised layer-wise training (e.g., DBNs composed of RBMs, stacked autoencoders).[4]

All of those use fundamentally use back propagation though, they just approximate the gradients. Pretraining with autoencoders even used back propagation to train the autoencoders. And researchers have entirely moved away from that strategy because it just doesn't work as well as pure supervised learning.

I don't think backpropagation will ever go away because it is so simple and powerful. Instead it will be tweaked and approximated like in your examples.
funny you find my style odd. I find your weird professorial affectation over pretty standard anti-feminist fare really off-putting myself. it's like you've read a million posts about "sjws" and are trying really hard to pretend like you haven't. "we" for any given "we" - c'mon dude.

anyway,

- "we" know how we react to it in what we consider polite company

- plenty of people who find that benign or even cute when women [discriminate]

- I guess your reply was kind of similar, assuming an reactionary outlook of a specific type based on very little.

It seems like your "polite company" is very outspoken about condemning what they imagine is distant and cartoonish sexism, and yet they have no problem characterizing women organizing as "cute" in your presence. Maybe your polite company hasn't allowed you to glean enough insight into how sexism manifests itself today, because bringing that up as an example of how women are favored seems completely out of touch.

Maybe one day you'll drop the defensive and charitably try to understand why these organizations happen in the first place.
That's exactly the problem. Atom, sublime, and vs code use TextMate's syntax parsing engine https://manual.macromates.com/en/language_grammars

This is amazing. And it's not even a GAN. Presumably a GAN version of this would be even more natural — or maybe they tried that and it didn't work so they didn't put it in the paper?

I definitely hear the announcements a lot... whether or not they follow up "e-cigarettes and spare lithium batteries" with "and other electronics" or "such as those found in personal electronics" is very hit and miss.

At my regional airport they just hand out the tags and don't ask any other questions or offer any other guidance to each individual passenger. It's just the one main blanket announcement.

Usually if you edit the interface, you also have to edit the implementation. The only time I've ever wanted to edit an interface alone is when there wasn't any implementation written yet, which makes it a moot point anyway.

Partial outages multiply the outage window by the fraction that it's available. So if you have an outage that affects 1% of traffic then five nines globally permits that 1% outage to last ~8 hours.
I think unless they are checking for them to the same extent that they are checking for liquids and weapons in carry on it is likely that plenty of people aren't following the rules either intentionally or from ignorance.
Depends on the features that are needed. Cisco seems to have a quite a bit of cisco-only protocols that require Cisco gear. And for our particular use-cases, we seem to need those features. Then again, I'm at a ultra low latency shop that requires port-to-port switching at sub 300 nanos and faster.

If one is using standard protocols (bgp, ospf, etc) then mixing and matching doesn't really seem to be a problem.

Let's call it "a window with a shitty lock" instead of a "back door", if it's an unintentional vulnerability. Then we can just use "back door [left open]" to mean something intentional.

Me too. I fly a lot, and the thought of a damaged battery, or somebody leaving their notebook in sleep mode, packed in a suitcase of flammable clothes with all of the other luggage gives me anxiety at times.

In designing the second-generation Intel Xeon Phi chip, we created a massively multicore processor that is available in a self-boot socket. This eliminates the need to run an OS on a separate host and pass data across a PCIe* slot. (However, for those who prefer using the latest Intel Xeon Phi chip as a co-processor, a PCIe-card-version will be available shortly.)

Worm Tracker: track and record a single moving worm
Well, understand that it is not uncommon where I live to draft a cover letter at least.

For government jobs it's even worse, there you basically do have to write essays against the "selection criteria" (don't get me started on what it actually achieves, again, I'm not trying to advocate).

The general rationale is often on several grounds:

-to create a "merit" based document trail
- to create a basic barrier to entry that has to be crossed for all but the most basic positions. Think of it like a spam filter/ensuring candidates who want THAT job as opposed to just A job. The very thing you don't want is to have hundreds of 1 page dot point resumes coming in. How would you possibly find the time to go through them? You want to stop people applying just by sending in a generic summary resume and clicking a button. You want people who are willing to put a bit of work in to apply specifically to the job you're advertising.

It is not uncommon for me, for instance, to write a cover letter for each job, and craft a specific version of my resume for each position, emphasising and exposing those parts of my experience most applicable to that particular position.

You can only really do one or two of these well per week, but that's kinda the point.

The batteries don't "explode" – they self-combust.

Better to have the phone out in the open (so you can see it catching fire) and throw it in a bucket of cold water – the water will absorb most of the heat and prevent the fire getting out of control (it won't extinguish the fire, which will continue in the water).

I've copped to making a mistake, and reread the article for good measure. What else do you propose I do to make you happy? We use paid acquisition to promote the site, and an HN comment certainly won't make a difference to our monthly numbers- I brought it up because I thought it was relevant, and don't think I need to apologize any further for that.

> Method of payment was irrelevant.

As someone who does trades like this all the time- of course the way the exchange went down is relevant. In fact,the most salient thing when exchanging digital goods wrt fraud is the difference in settlement time between the two. In this case, since the author sent Apple gift cards, he could've just called Apple, said he was scammed, and had the cards zeroed and replaced by the merchant.
I agree. Begging is a skill, and this scammer is already a professional in that respect.

If he was 16 or 17, it probably wouldn't be too late to tell his parents, although that depends on the family. 22 is way too old for that.

In addition, I think the author should at least release the details of the eBay account to the public to make them googleable in connection with the scam. Since it was the eBay account that convinced the author to go first, it can convince other people too.
I wonder how long Apple will allow that loophole to exist...
I do know that I'm not in that scenario, in the same sense as I know most things, like that next time I flip a coin it won't land on edge.

> if ... you consider that a rational choice, then why shouldn't others also follow it?

But this doesn't affect my reasoning, because whether or not I consider it rational, or whether or not I do it, does not affect whether or not they do it[1]. Along the same lines, I see no problem "cashing in" on other's irrational choices in general, provided that I am not causing or contributing to them making those choices.

[1] It may affect their behavior in future elections however. It is because of effects along these lines that I ultimately think I should vote.
The thing that confuses me about AirBnB "vetting" is that I used VRBO for many years without any sign of vetting required. It was only on my first AirBnB that I had to fill in a "profile", explain why I was a "good" renter, etc.

Indeed. To support backreferences, "regex" libraries are forced to use algorithms that can be very slow in the worst case.

The sad thing is that the libraries use the same algorithms even if the expression doesn't contain backreferences. A while ago, Stack Overflow had a brief outage because of regular expression performance, although the expression that caused it didn't even use backreferences or other non-regular features:

http://stackstatus.net/post/147710624694/outage-postmortem-j...

In contrast, Google Code Search - when it still existed - supported regular expression searches over world's public codebases. One key ingredient making this possible was to only use proper regular expressions:
