I think that may be high for an average... and to give an idea of how much APM is spam, there's that Stork vs. Idra replay from the World Cyber Games where Stork demolishes Idra despite using 70 APM to Idra's 300+. Of course, Protoss takes the least APM but Stork may have been the least spammy player.
Instead of thinking of it as parsing queries, think about it as nested RPC. It's quite reasonable for an implementor to set a time limit or call limit to keep algorithmic complexity attacks under control.
My guess is they feel the brand capital is too invested in "battery chargers" and believe it will be easier to rerun their playbook for building cachet with the new brand rather than risk their current single category focused brand.
>Given the attitudes of people in the space and beyond and lack of funding why shouldn't the more valuable and fundamental research be kept secret?

If it's secret, how do you know about it? If you don't have specific knowledge, how can you claim there is "fundamental AGI" research done in secret, as opposed to it just not being done, as all appearances indicate?

>It is being said that it's impossible...

Nobody who understands recent neuroscience claims any such thing is impossible. We just claim it hasn't been done in the lab yet.
This isn't even the most absurd part about citizen/cop cash transactions: under civil forfeiture, they can take up to (iirc) $10,000 of your cash no justification or remediation path. Really, all they need is a traffic stop or a (suspect) smell of cannabis in the air.
There is a lot of cases when user needs just 20 rows from billions but getting them is very hard problem. One of such examples is well-known: it's twitter-like data model, where a user can "follow" thousands of others and you need to fetch top N recent posts from all that thousands streams.

In Postgres, straightforward approach to query such data is based on JOINs and it's absolutely inefficient. This can be dramatically optimized with recursive CTEs, arrays and loose index scan approach, but GraphQL by default it will do straightforward JOINs, right?

I hope GraphQL has (or will have soon) ways to overwrite/redefine queries, but again, it leads us to the same problems "patch driven development" that everyone hated in ORMs during decades. That's why I'm saying that GraphQL is "a new ORM", but it's more dangerous due to it's openness and proximity to web users, that's why it can bring even more dev and devops pain to the world that ORMs did during decades.
I've approached police officers before and never had the shit beaten out of me. Usually we just talk a bit about whatever's going on.
It's also why so many late episodes seem half baked unfortunately
And Uber? i didn't make any claims about the current status, but a few years out. Tesla is using radar, instead of lidar, and cameras. Their goal is fully autonomous and they believe they can do it with their current set up. Their equipment could change, of course, but they will soon be shipping 100,000 cars a year.
Or you could just only play Linux games. I mean sure, you'll eventually get tired of Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of Mordor. But when that happens you can just play Shadow of Mordor.
Is that PA law? Crosswalk laws vary by state.
Yes, but the point is the risk is so small you're off into lightning strike territory. Do you worry about brain eating amoebas when you swim? Do you refuse to fly because the plane might crash?
Kind of disappointed there was no mention of supporting deep UI integration. There is a disclaimer at the bottom, so I guess things can evolve.

Bitbucket Server does a very good of supporting deep UI integration and I think it will be dangerous to neglect this, if enterprise is where GitHub truly wants to be. My background is designing productivity solutions for massive size companies (1,000+ developers) and I would have to wager, a very large portion of integration solutions for Bitbucket Server, would be for in house use only.

Productivity is king in enterprise, and every little thing makes a difference and being able to add a simple link on top of GitHub Enterprise, can make a world of difference. And no, asking people to install a browser extension doesn't make sense for a myriad of reasons.

Also supporting deep UI integration doesn't have to be overly complex, to make it safe and useful. Just let developers be able to define a custom tab and only let them interact with users via an iframe. As long as the messaging system is robust between GitHub Enterprise and the iframe content, you can do quite a bit of interesting things, without sacrificing security.

This is an example of how I'm doing this right now with Bitbucket Server

http://bitbucket-server-demo.gitsense.com/plugins/servlet/gi...

When you click on the commit title, the iframe will send a message to the parent, asking it to open Bitbucket's commit viewer in an iframe. As long as the parent ensures the message is coming from the expected origin, it can trust the communication. The parent also expects the message to contain the owner, repo and commit sha information. Basically, it won't accept links from the iframe, which ensures the iframe, can't mislead the parent.
From what I can gather from the BOW discussion (see my link below), it's a kind of custom arch distro (https://cdn.turbo.run/alwsl/alwsl.sfs). AFAIK WSL is just a rootfs extracted by the lxrun cmdlet. So I guess this replaces Microsoft's rootfs with arch. It seems to be modified to work around some issues in WSL.
I didn't pay the cop. I had to pay the towing company. The cop told the towing company to impound my car.
Without any facts, I'm skeptical. He should either move on with his life, or make a formal complaint and/or a lawsuit.

Taking the middle road with a story with few details on Medium doesn't help anyone.
Consider it from the cops' point of view. A random person shows up and wants to "check the health" of their suspect. When asked for id, he wants to debate "why". Does he seriously think they'll let some unknown person who refuses to provide id interfere with their arrest? Would any cop in any country allow this?

What he should have done is opened with "I am a licensed physician, here's my license and id. May I check the person's health, he appears to be having a seizure?"

It does appear the cops overreacted, but how could he expect anything but a negative reaction from the way he approached it?
By nonportable, I assume you mean "between implementations", because that's where the nonportability is. And yes, there is. It has to do with scheme's origin.

scheme originated in PL research (at the MIT AI lab) and was quickly pressed into service for education. As such, it has a strong userbase in academia. Those users need a language that was small, easy to implement, and powerful enough to express a wide variety of paradigms and concepts compactly. Meanwhile, Scheme users in the Real World, who want to Get Stuff Done, want that, but they also want things like OS interfaces, networking, module systems, FFIs, large standard libraries, etc. For many years, the approach the scheme standard took was to lay out the bare minimum required to be a scheme, and depend upon maintainers of various implementations to flesh it out. Furthermore, if the comitee couldn't agree on something, it went unspecified.

This resulted in something akin to the unix situation, but worse: we had a family of languages named Scheme, but all but the simplest programs would inevitably depend on implementation-specific language extensions, and all the implementations extended the language in different directions. Furthermore, the academics need Scheme to be easy to implement, so it was: it was so simple any easy that anyone could implement it, and anyone did, resulting in a bevy of Scheme implementations of varying levels of quality, from "industrial strength" to "weekend hack". There are admirable efforts to write cross implementation packages (most famously, SLIB), but it's generally not recomended, because it's a PITA to do.

R6RS tried to fix this, but... well, imagine that POSIX said, "we're trying to improve cross-system compatability, so you all have to implement Solaris Event Ports, Netlink, Streams, and the AIX sysadmin utilities to be considered POSIX. Just throw away whatever you were using instead of that."

Needless to say, this did not go over well.

R7RS tried to improve things by spliting the language into the traditional small core, and the larger stdlib, which you didn't have to implement to be scheme, but would hopefully improve interoperability between implementations. This seems to be working okay thus far, although the stdlib isn't done yet. We shall see...
Although there will still be lots of projects (e.g. `an open source project with one repo`, `some company with a huge monolithic repo`) that will be able to use per-repo Projects profitably.

But yes, someone, please make something that kills JIRA as soon as possible.
If I am assaulted and mugged I get some bruises and lose my wallet.

Those are relatively minor outcomes compared to the enormous court expenses and years or a lifetime of damage that an officer can do. Hell, as per the article, the $300 to get my car out of impound would be a lot more than the pocket change I stand to lose in a mugging.

Most well-fed sharks won't attack a human, but I'm not about to dive into the tank.
Probably local hire would be much better, however good programmers don't want to work in the Group 2. The want to work in a big company or in a cool startup.
I think this is what you're getting at, but the really interesting question regarding corvid intelligence (in my opinion) is whether their pallium implements the same or similar computations and uses the same or similar representations as mammalian neocortex. Clearly because of the different evolutionary origin there are structural/architectural differences (eg pallium is nucleated rather than laminated), but maybe there is only a single computational "solution" to the problem of general intelligence. To pose it as a question: does avian pallium solve problems in similar ways/using similar algorithms as mammalian cortex or did its early divergence allow it to find different solutions? I think the answer to this, whichever way it breaks, will have pretty big implications for AI generally.

Same story goes for Cephalopods.
I feel like it's important to point out that, while it's certainly understandable that a person might latch onto characteristics like that in reaction to that kind of a situation, it is, nonetheless, racism. In order for racism to stop, it eventually has to stop with no exceptions.
And the risk is much higher if you happen to not be white.
While you're picking nits and calling things wrong, note that a lidar-equipped Tesla has been seen at Tesla HQ. So it's not zero, but that's OK, I won't refer to your statement as being "false", just over-confident.
Ok, but nested loop in so many situations is totally losing to other algorithms to join data (like merge join, hash join) when you deal with large datasets, right? So again, it will be inefficient by default, for so many cases.
It is easy to be persuasive when you are asking people to simply remain as they are: uninformed on important matters.
There are 100% open source products out there, and I think it's worth distinguishing that GitLab is not one of them (as a GitLab employee adds elsewhere, it's "Open Core").

I'm not criticizing the product – they're welcome to open or not open source whatever they like. I'm just clarifying the description the parent used.
Couldn't agree more. I assume that somewhere in such contracts there is a limit similar to how cell phone carriers' "unlimited" plan is always limited or some clause with more generic language doing the same thing. Otherwise what's to stop one from coming in the first day and taking a year off afterwards? Can an employer in an at-will state fire an employee for taking his vacation according to company policy? Or, someone could come in for the first day, then start taking days off. At some point, I'm sure the employer will fire them, but they still have to pay the employee for all those days off.

More broadly, my question is this: Since clearly, you cannot have unlimited vacation, what is the actual legal language in contracts at such companies that creates the situation of "unlimited" vacation and what exactly is that situation legally (since it's obviously not unlimited vacation)?
That makes no difference in the end. The police caused you financial harm, with no restitution. They should be held liable for that under civil law.
I think you can make the case Team America ultimately supports American intervention in foreign affairs. See the dicks/pussies/assholes speech with America being the dicks, and ultimately in the right despite some issues.
Yeah, I stumbled upon Greg Egan too in one of the HN posts - I think it was about 'Best Science Fiction Books' or something.

I've never read anything like Greg Egan. While reading 'Diaspora' I could feel my skull expanding - he pushes you to think at a magnitude we're not used to. The last few chapters of Diaspora are something I often read myself to bed.
Ugh, yes. At the beginning of last winter, one manager INSISTED on coming in with this really horrible, wracking, deep cough, and the resultant spread managed to take out about half the management team and a ton of floor staff variously over the next month or so (including myself - how grateful I was).
I'm sure it was totally worth it for the one or two meetings they attended..

As an adult, it is far easier to avoid your tormentors.

Adults tend to be better at measuring risk as well: picking a fight with me, for example, would mean voluntarily engaging in a physical confrontation with a fully grown, professionally trained combatant who happens to be a member of the most violent species ever known to exist in the universe. If you attack me, one of us will become a murderer. There's little reason to go down that road, and I'll make sure you know it.

However, children don't really think, nor are they permitted to follow through on that kind of threat. And they tend to care more about what they are permitted to do.
>It's not clear to me how that's actually going to result in smaller file sizes

In the obvious way that when A and B are similar enough (as font variations are) a delta between A and B is substantially smaller than bundling A AND B.

>A delta does not intrinsically require less information than an absolute value.

In the abstract, no, but in 99% of the cases where it's used in computing, e.g. it software updates, rsync, etc, it does, and that's exactly why it's used.

Why would font variations, which intuitively are more alike than different, would have diffs larger than the "absolute value"?
Maybe. Are we also breaking people's fingers for a bit of a harried response when they see that someone may be having a fit or a seizure?
I'm sure you didn't intend any offense, but for future reference, "colored" is considered archaic and borderline racial-epithet in the U.S. (I realize it's quite normal and non-offensive elsewhere.)
Do you have a link to an example of hoax story? I haven't seen that.
What's the value in extinguishing intelligent species? Otherwise you're right, but it's not in keeping with the professed morality that the vast majority of the public appears to claim to follow. As I said, it might be time to simply admit that our overriding ethic is, "Because we can."
Could you please provide a link?
I find the concept of limited sick days very odd. How can you possibly plan your sickness? When you're sick, you're sick, and shouldn't be going to work. Especially not when you've got something infectious that might make your co-workers sick too.

I had no idea that my country (Netherland) had the most generous law in this regard. The Dutch system sounds fairly obvious to me, and it works very well. Healthy, happy workers don't stay at home sick. Of course there are people who do abuse the system, but when people call in sick unusually often, it's generally a sign of a deeper problem, like hating their job or not being motivated to do it. And those are problems that need to be solved, not ignored.
Yes, I do. I've seen too many men piss, zip and walk out without washing.
So your queries are very diverse in their nature in an unpredictable way? I mean I'd assume you'd more or less know the big-Os for the stuff you're doing and have a vague idea if there's really room for improvement? At just 35m records I'd assume you're purely cpu bound with vanilla high-order polynomial queries.
Maybe what you really want is to rethink what you want the db to do. Perhaps you can take a bit more of a soft computing approach and settle for imprecise answers.
"they're tied up with news leaks. It's hard, I think, to find a case of an NSA whistleblower who faced law enforcement retaliation for escalating concerns to the NSA IG or Senate committees."

I agree with this. The natural follow-up is, "Are there any examples of those doing internal whistleblowing on programs endorsed as much as these by Executive and Congressional groups getting results that Snowden leaks have gotten?" It usually business as usual with occasional fine or scathing report that I've seen. I doubt a leak-less version of Snowden would get new bills in, jurisdictions changed for major companies, all kinds of privacy startups, etc.

I'd be interested in example you have where similar things came from internal links. You didn't claim you did but I'm asking just in case.
I'm aware. I'm pointing out that using the word "pardon" is pretty Orwellian given that in normal parlance it means forgive and thus implies fault.
Not trying to nit pick here, as my experiences with Edmonton police have been similar, but my fiancee, who's black, has had different experiences with Edmonton police.

Nothing as negative as this, but experiences that left her disheartened (police saying: well what should do you expect us to do? when she was jumped by a number of gang members at WEM).

I also suspect that if you were to speak to Aboriginal Edmontonians, they'd have different opinions. Consider the way that the RCMP has treated indigenous individuals in the past.

Or don't use crappy dependancies.

While you're at it you may want to not use swift and instead learn to write good C for performance minded code and compilation.
What you're describing and what the parent described seems very different to me. Not only does "every other week off" vs "occasional nights and weekends off" have an obvious quantitative difference, it has a very strong qualitative difference.

1 day off to every 5 on or 2 to 10 is a very different pattern than 7 to 7 consistently until they're grown and hopefully self-sustaining.
I view the ARM as a perfect example of disruption in the Innovator's Dilemma sense. Intel has always been pushing the boundaries of processor design, using as many transistors as possible, and nobody could threaten them with better technology.

The ARM1 on the other hand was built to be simple (because the designers hadn't built a processor before). They didn't care at all about maximizing density (the layout is pretty awful). They cared about low power consumption only to the degree it meant they could use cheaper packaging.

But this low-end ARM processor managed to hit the low-power needs of mobile devices (starting with the Newton). And now the ARM processor is a serious threat to Intel, not because ARM out-raced Intel at the more-transistors game, but because ARM was a simpler, cheaper product that disrupted the market.

I think 99% of the people who use the word "disruption" haven't read The Innovator's Dilemma (and they should), but to me the ARM clearly fits the pattern in the book.
Please note, I'm not taking sides in this. Your last sentence was all I had issue with.
> 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.

Hence why Israel needs to exist, and why it needs to be able to defend itself.

You are apparently unable to see your own thought to the end: if Israel stops defending itself as you suggest, its people will be massacred.
That's the point though... people who want 100% perfect automation have no leg to stand on when presented with a more reliable option than a human. That's not the case with speech recognition yet, and I'd say as a result people would be well justified in demanding at least as much capability as they're capable of themselves.
GraphQL has a notion of query complexity, that you can use to forbid certain queries.

Also, where appropriate, you can still gain a lot with caching.

Simple example: cache the query response containing all fields of a table, and extract the fields required for the response.
In some rural communities police are on a huge power trip because they're some of the most powerful people in the small town. Some are good, some are bad, just like everywhere else.
I didn't mean to offend. What word is more appropriate to describe cops who are not white?
>I've been doing research on extracting mutual information from noisy, shifted copies of a ground truth signal, and it turns out there is a crossover point where recovering the ground truth essentially becomes impossible (in an information theoretic sense). What's interesting is that this crossover point is sharp and it looks a lot like a phase transition that one might see in statistical physics.

That's awesome! Can you link me to your research? I've been writing a similar paper on the information theory behind probabilistic programming and (possibly) deep learning.

>We need more research that provides limits on what we are capable of predicting from a given dataset — an upper bound, in other words. This would let us know if it's worth it to spend time trying to get more predictivity out of a dataset, or if the data just simply doesn't contain sufficient enough information.

Definitely! Not only is the Shannon entropy of large or high-dimensional datasets computationally obscene to estimate nonparametrically, what we actually care about is the conditional entropy given an untrained model, and the degree to which we can reduce it by training the model.

How is that at all relevant?

He could have shown up and started cussing at them and they wouldn't have justification to beat him up and arrest him.

Cops are supposed to serve us, not the other way around. We shouldn't have to be afraid of them or treat them like volatile, emotional dictators (though that's exactly what they are).
