Learning algorithms remain a big issue in neuromorphic computing. So far, we have had some success with evolutionary optimization algorithms. The nice aspect of EO at the this stage of the game is that EO can reveal useful patterns and network features which could guide later learning systems.

I am working on a project right now which will require a more complex network interacting with many real world sensors, so it should be interesting to see how EO performs for such a problem. Our EO has been demonstrated to scale on parallel machines as large as ORNL's Titan, but I readily acknowledge that much more work needs to be done with learning algorithms.
>I fail to understand why is this a 'problem'. FB can do as they please (fail or succeed as a consequence), they aren't a tax payer funded institution answerable to the public at large. In effect, people are dictating how FB should 'run their business'.

Much like the Microsoft anti-trust suits of the early '00s? There was nothing then (just as there is now) that forced people to use Microsoft products; numerous OS and software alternatives existed.

Facebook is currently large enough to distort industries and markets, just as Microsoft once was.
The fact that they've said it doesn't mean they're right. But I think most of their statements have actually about how L3 is unsafe, rather than the fact that incremental progress is impossible.

Plenty of the startups in this space aren't making cars, but buying cars and installing aftermarket kits. Otto is a great example. Or they could have done what MobileEye did and sell L3 tech to car companies to fund further development.

I don't find the auto response particularly aggressive; they've waited 7 years to even start anything. The barrier to entry in that time has gotten so much lower due to deep learning that geohot can build a car that has some level of autonomy in his garage, and I think those advances were what really caught google flatfooted.

Can Google keep funding a pie in the sky research project for another 20 years, which is roughly the timeline they've said about L4 autonomy.

The point being that by your definition of not, DFT is also NOT a Fourier transform. It's only a "transform" in that the two domains are similar (identical, mod complexity). That's quite confusing to engineers who only care about the results. Computationally, the first two are strictly speaking impossible, but effectively, your data come in being modeled as finite real-valued arrays that represent function values, (close enough to "bounded real domain") and need to come out as finite real-valued arrays, represented integer-indexed frequencies, and a DFT on your data will operationally give you that. This is much more realistically described as a discretized pseudo-fourier series.

They live next to this chunk of land, because Israel took it at gunpoint. They had no right to do so, and they had no right to displace its occupants. In its current form, Israel has no right to exist, much less defend itself. It is an occupying power - morally, it is not much different from the Third Reich rolling into Warsaw, and corralling its Jewish residents into walled ghettos.

There are other forms in which it would, but the current one is not one of them. It must either end the occupation, or emancipate.

>beheadings are at least as controversial as nudity

From one internet stranger to another, and with all due respect: bullshit.

We as a society positively freak out over nudity and drop our middle-school kids off to see violent movies without even thinking twice.

To claim differently is to either a) appeal to an exception that does not represent the overall social norm b) be disingenuous (which I don't think is your case, to be clear) or c) not even be aware of the problem, as advanced by the parent comment.

To say the American populace (again, on the aggregate level) is both desensitized to violence and hyper-sensitive to nudity is a massive understatement, one which can be directly traced to our puritanical roots.

Seriously, this is like saying America doesn't have a problem with gun violence. It's so patently and obviously false that it borders on comical.

(I again feel compelled to mention that I mean absolutely no disrespect. I just couldn't disagree with you more.)

No, Facebook tried to replicate Friendster (fairly slavishly), as Myspace was getting popular. The only reason Facebook caught on was 1) by starting with college kids, and 2) building it as a platform that other business could build on.
> What if 'status' isn't a column in the account database? What if closed_accounts is a join table or something else? Then wouldn't adding a /close route be hiding idiosyncrasies in your data model, not the other way around?

So what? REST is an API [0]. It's the public interface you expose. What you do behind the scene in your data model is, or should be, irrelevant to the API. Sometimes you'll map your data model practically one-to-one to the REST API, but there are times when I do significant logic in controllers before mapping the result of that logic to a resource. As long as the API is resource oriented and follows good REST practices, it's all good.

0. OK, REST is one way to expose an API, since the wording I used is not amenable to some people.

I'm not really sold on this one since "close" is not a resource. I think I would do:

An Introduction to Microservices
My mom has bought a couple of HP ink jet printers. The software has been terrible. That seems to be the case, that consumer inkjets have terrible software and lasers are fine.

At one point while trying to figure out something else, I figured out that they had implemented the polling for the presence of the (usb) printer by having a Windows service rapidly and repeatedly start and stop a second service. So anytime the printer was unplugged, the logs would be nicely purged by this activity.

I don't remember if it was related to those services, but they also screwed up the permissions for a service, making it impossible to use the normal tools to make changes to the service.

Architecting for realtime applications
I totally believe that everybody has something to offer to everybody else. I'm 43, can I learn from a 23 year old? Abso-lutely! And vice-versa, of course.

But... I really reject this whole "millenials as digital natives" narrative, in terms of the idea that millenials have some unique relationship to technology and some innate sort of technological prowess. It's just a rehashing of an earlier idea which dates back at least to the 80's, where "kids have to program their parents VCR's". There's always this notion that "the young" - at a point in time - are more technical. But in absolute terms? Well, Gen-X kids grew up with access to computers and a lot of technology as well, although it was (obviously) the technology of the the time. I would posit that there's no reason to assume that a Millenial would be any more inherently technical than a Gen-X'er.

I only gave one example of the most recent one, there have been others.
I'm currently working on a Database Proxy API Project I cooked up (essentially creating a way I so we could query our different MySQL and Oracle databases using a RESTful API) and it makes sense for me (from the RESTful perspective) to use a GET request to send the query.

However, I know that the request body (a JSON string or a JSON array that could contain one or more queries, along with one or more different decryption keys allowing the server-side to retrieve the connection details that are encrypted on the server) could be quite long (we have some massive SQL queries that get used elsewhere and could potentially be used with this new API once it's available) and I also didn't like the idea of some of the more sensitive information being in the URL, so I decided to implement it as a POST request instead of a GET.

It feels wrong (again from the RESTful perspective since I'd like my API to be fully RESTful) but from a user point of view I know I'm making the right decision.

If anybody has better ideas though, please let me know!
This has nothing to do with what the OP said. The discussion is about what is allowed on FB and what is not allowed on FB. The article you linked to is talking about data collection policies.

>There is no other country in the world that has been as deeply committed at all levels of government to fomenting sectarian violence throughout the world for nearly as long

The USA is just as guilty of this as any other nation. You're just not as willing to see it, since it doesn't fit your anti-Islam, pro-Christian narrative.
And shortly before the internet really took off and started to standardize legal porn (meaning: harmonize to American rules), 16 and 17 year old topless girls were legal on page 3, with harder stuff elsewhere on the European continent. America effectively exported their legal standards here, mostly through credit card companies I expect.

(Not saying commercializing topless schoolgirls is just fine, just that normal used to be different and it has changed due to American influence.)
Pretty much no, because it'd be practically useless. And I don't think anyone has the willingness to spend time or money on something that will essentially just be a toy.

There's been plenty of work on moving the standards so that there are actually implementations of them, instead of them being practically useless at best and misleading at worst (given doing input validation based on a spec that nobody actually implements is just outright dangerous), with HTML 5 and much of CSS 2.1 leading that charge (though CSS 2.1 still has massive blackholes, notably table layout remains largely undefined, though that is finally being worked on).

Tesla announced Autopilot 8.0
I remember taking a few C++ classes in high school. It would have helped if our teacher had spent even a few minutes explaining what version control is. Their instructions never went beyond "You should make sure you save your work periodically." That brilliant piece of advice immediately yielded the following problems for us:

1) Sometimes after compiling under VisualStudio we would return to look at our source code and see that it had been replaced with Assembly. Teacher's response? "I guess you'll have to write it again."

2) Saving periodically to a single file is about as useful as not saving at all when you have borked your program somehow. Now you get to spend the next few hours commenting out random lines and inserting `cout<<"Here"` lines into the code to see how far along it got.

We in the class eventually decided that the "safest" way to do it was to continually save the files under new names in order to create a poor man's VCS. But that in itself was difficult to remember after more than a few days of working on it, as you'd have to remember which version you wanted to work on: assignment.cpp, Copy of assignment.cpp, assignment.bkup.cpp, assignment(Last version that worked).cpp, etc.

I would be appalled these days if CS classes don't spend at least a single lecture discussing how to use Git.
This article does feel like a missed opportunity. I hate the minimal design trend for a lot of reasons, but they aren't the ones listed.

I grimace every time another HN article explains that menus are evil, minimalism is great, and every product should do one thing well. Because in practice, that means downloading 50 apps where 10 would do. It means calendars that don't communicate with alarm clocks, because mobile apps are 'minimal' in an environment where cross-app integration is completely impossible. It means that because no one did my "one thing well", there isn't even a way to do that one thing poorly.

There's a missing discussion about power-user tools, and what non-minimal products should look like. There are places where we should embrace flexibility, and choose good design and clear menus over removing features. This wasn't that discussion.
Well your version doesn't crash shortly after toying around in it unlike OP's so good job!.

I disagree, git is my favorite VCS by far because of the power it gives to truly craft a record of ones development history. A finely crafted development history pays major dividends as a project ages. I just got a thank you note for commit messages I wrote 4 years ago on a previous project.

A lot of devs see commit messages and rebasing as useless pedantry, but once you start to take it seriously it only takes a little bit of extra time, and it provides so much future benefit via git-bisect and general spelunkability.

I also think it's worth investing more time in a tool based on its longevity in ones workload. In that regard I put git at the top of the food chain, as I expect to use it even longer than Linux, for example in my case: Git > Linux > Vim > Ruby/Python > OS X / GUI tools.

A side effect of being this good at git is the ability to bail out your colleagues when they royally fuck up a merge or rebase.
The environments, errorr tolerances, and required sensing capabilities are so vastly different that no comparison is apt.
Perl started with Henry Spenser's regular expression library, which was written in the mid-1980s. That got used in a lot of places, and may have been used in sed. It includes backreferences. I don't know what predates that.

Perl used that as a starting place and began adding extensions such as the difference between .* and .*?.

So using "non-regular thing" as a regular expression predates Perl. But the dialect we standardized on with the features people now expect is due to Perl's influence.

I guess my point is it's unfair to dismiss opinions as invalid just because they're opinions.
Let us be clear, here. I don't "hate Israel". I have a substantial disagreement with the actions of the current Israeli leadership, which in many ways I find repugnant and inhumane, as I do with the terrorist elements within Palestine, whose actions are also repugnant and inhumane.

Incidentally, even among Jews, my view point is not alone and many have expressed disdain for the extreme policies of the current government.

There is a hardline element in some of the Arab populace who takes a violent approach to Judaism (indeed, many other religions too) - this is regrettable at best, and unlikely to ever be removed.

One of Israel's biggest misgivings (and it's one of the US's) too is a failure to see how it's actions (or reactions) might contribute to the culture in Palestine, the rise of Hezbollah. Undoubtedly many in Palestine -would- love to live their lives freely, peacefully alongside Israel. But Israel's steadfast refusal to see how its approach to "solving" the problem makes enemies of those who might not otherwise support such an organization, but feel helpless. They are the civilians between two warring armies, no different to villagers in Colombia dealing with being between the various guerrilla groups, armies and narcos.

In fact you are guilty of it, too - turning power off to a country for two days because of a rocket attack is not in any way a defensive act. It does not limit the ability of Hezbollah to launch more rocket attacks, but it does limit the ability of the citizens of Palestine to live their lives.

My hope, and my belief is that there -is- a middle ground, that moderates on both sides (be that religious, political, sides of the wall) can and would like to live happily together and that that is achievable.

But it DOES require a change in strategy and tactics in order to succeed. By BOTH sides.
