> Sort of. Hyperparameter tuning is indeed difficult, but in principle it can be automated and there has been great work on this in the past few years.

There's far more to modification than just hyperparameter tuning; this is why people can keep turning out papers on the latest breakthrough. The gates of LSTMs are a non-trivial addition to RNNs. Attaching a differentiable stack or figuring out how to best do soft attention requires far more thought than just bashing at hyperparameters. CTC, dilated convolutions, residuals, extending auto-encoders to capture the data distribution were not trivial ideas. VGGNet and other conv nets are a very manual heavy design, differing significantly from vanilla MLPs and not something that could be automatically arrived at (at least not yet). Things like FractalNet or recursive tree based architectures differ greatly from vanilla networks.

> Even if the number of layers and convolution sizes and learning rates are totally different, the principles are the same.

Again, the underlying captured algorithms are very different. If you could look at the underlying source code these neural net programs represent, they'd vary at least as much from each other as the code for say a merge sort, insertion sort, binary search or an AVL tree would.

> This problem was solved in the past with temporal difference learning. Maybe there are technical reasons they didn't do that, I don't know.

The problem pointed out in the lecture, part of why it took so long to find a good Go policy, was that immediate moves differed so little from each other that it was too difficult to get any kind of signal without the brute force approach to decorrelating they took. There are probably better ways but that was the shortest delta available to progress.
One interesting thing about iTunes is that it is one of the few applications I can think of which manages to irritate both power/sophisticated users (ie. everyone here) and also regular users. I'm not sure anyone actually likes it.
Why is that website only using the middle of the page, and has a blank line between every line of text.

Is there some competition for who can use as little of my screen as possible in a useful way?
How many connections betweens those 600k neurons? That is one large difference between biological and artificial neural networks (though there are many others).

Current DNN architectures won't be the final solutions, but they do the job much better than anything else we've tried before. That said there is ongoing work in more biologically inspired approaches that might produce better results for the things you mentioned in the future
It's okay to approach things from different angles, and to use equivalent definitions even if they take wildly different shapes. But as my explanation continued, you cannot use disjoint definitions. If we are to talk about the concept of barnfulness, we won't have a productive discussion if one person defines it as 'red and square' and nothing more, while another person defines it as 'contains horses' and nothing more.

No concept inherently requires that definitions of it contradict. And highly-contradicting definitions is a critical factor in having a suitcase word.
I'm not sure if I replied to you. I think I replied to myself. Also I'm new to HN so I didn't know how to check for messages.

Yeah it sucks, but you know, I made the decisions to get here. Also I've burned bridges too, which made me concerned like "How will I get a job without references?" but factories you know, they'll hire just about anybody.

I work on web development (freelance) on my spare time, but I'm bad at pricing/businessman and also I'm not that great (reinvent the wheel, use bad code, etc...). I'm really into technology, aviation, robotics, programming, I want to be one of those that I read about in the news. Space. AI, etc... it just sucks being there. I'm trapped. I have this miserable look on my face all the time. I feel bad that people see it. But I can't hide it too, I hate it. But other people also hate this job, but they don't seem to make it other people's problems.

So I just day dream while I lose myself cutting meat in the factory. I dream of ideas, designs, etc... I fear I am delusional, if I make the money then I must not be right? So far I haven't made any money so... not going very well haha.

I was in a box, for the last two years, now it's a corner, hopefully it'll be a room(box again)/house.

I don't think that's an accurate description of the situation in London. There is almost unbridled development at the moment. It's going to markedly change how the city looks and feels. That's what people are reacting against.
You seem to be pegged on what current controllers can do... And that's exactly what I am saying: they often suck!

But they can improve and I am confident they will. When I am learning a brand new instrument I can literally feel my brain knowing exactly what I want to do way before my fingers/mouth/feet are able to perform the task at hand. How is this not an interface problem?

With button controllers the best you'll get is one chord per button with no fine shading of levels, no control over inversions or voicings, and so on.

No way. If you don't have to be memorizing stupid things such as "where is the minor 7th again on this one particular instrument?" maybe you could use your free mental cycles (and fingers, feet, mouth) to control that instead... And who knows, maybe you could now do 4-5 inversions in the same amount of time it would take you to do a single one on a piano. Or maybe you can do inversions way more effortlessly on another instrument and focus on really nailing the vibrato.

It's absolutely fine to make music like this, but it's not fine to demand that all music be made like this.

I never said this, I'm just saying that a lot more can be done with a lot less effort if instrument/controller interfaces improve.
1. Single tap on the map (but not on Points Of Interest) toggles UI visibility.

2. That one is the most annoying thing for me. It usually happens if you search for something that it can't find in visible area, but it looks random. Google Search taught me that you can write a bit sloppy and it still is able to find it. Than in Google Maps it can lead to showing you some cryptic place in another country.

Another annoying thing for me is a language problem. I am living now in Germany, but I am from Poland. You can't do category search in Polish, because it will show you results in Poland. But at the same time if you look on details for the German place you will see category in Polish. So you may not know what Google expects.

Also when you click on category icon from search list (those red icons) it will search in language of the country you're in, but you have to click on a name in your language.

But multiple language support suck mostly everywhere... Chrome offers site translation (some of the time). I prefer translations to English, because they are better than translations to Polish. I also don't want to translate it always, because it is not always needed (and flicker is annoying) or not good enough.

To translate a site to English I have to do this every time (my UI is in Polish, but I will write all in English, but translation is mine):

1. Tap on underlined "Polish" in sentence "Translate to Polish"

2. Tap "Polish" in "Translation language" menu

3. Scroll to the top to find "English"

4. Tap "English"

5. Tap "Ready"

6. Tap "Translate"

7. Ignore annoying confirmation by scrolling or tapping "Ready"

At least translation from context menu is sensible now. You can select text by long tapping and tap translate and it remembers what language you selected earlier and has the most recent used languages at the top of the language list.

This is an interesting piece of software I have used before: http://autotheory.net. It simply translates incoming midi data so you can use whatever controller/instrument you're already familiar with. The creator is nice and responsive, he often attends shows like AES and NAMM.
Depends, there are many types of NoSQL databases, that all have different focuses.

SQL started getting big because it was the one size fits all approach that worked 90% of the time. In fact it got so big, that universities started to teach only them when they talked about databases in general.

But there are many problems, where SQL is not suited.

If you got hundrets of terrabyte of data you need to analyse, you're probably better of with a Hadoop cluster.

If you need inter process communication, Memcached or Redis is worth considering.

If easy db-sync is your main goal, couch/pouch-db is probably a good choice.

etc. pp.

But these three DBs alone are so different, that they can't be compared like MySQL and PostgreSQL can.
I do not know about the quality of this since I do not use NNs, but there is https://github.com/hughperkins/DeepCL and I think I have seen others.
Side by side comparisons! Via Youtube, alas, but:

Acorn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwXthGJfHLc

Amiga (emulated): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT6vxY9p7yg

The Amiga's way brighter, but that's probably because it's emulated (and so is a digital recording). But it's pretty obvious that at least some of the tracks on the Arc are recompositions --- One Way Or Another is missing a lot of instruments, Mind the Step is a different pitch, Awesome is a different composition entirely...

The Amiga had a hardware mixer with four channels (with fixed stereo positions). The Acorn had a more strictly powerful CPU but had no hardware mixer. Maybe they had to reduce the number of channels to allow for this? But I was pretty sure the Lemmings mods were classic 4-channel anyway (one channel per Amiga hardware channel).
What do you do for checking what is uploaded? Do you use a service like Amazon Mechanical Turk and have people go over the content or do you use something like computer vision?

Exit node ip, that's the last ip-address right? There was something in PHP I did recently that did that, gave you the last ip. Maybe I'm mistaken.
I think that once one has accepted that he/she must start at that moment no matter what, and it will a long time till finishing, then starting with the hard stuff makes all the sense. You might be feeling drained by the end, when you were to take on those hard problems/subjects. Or the easier stuff you can attack at other times, during breaks, while it might be difficult to advance on the harder stuff without a bigger more comfortable time frame.

> That would be the case if there were forced expulsion

No, I think phillc73 is spot on. Consider the case where Brits get EU visas (and vice versa), it's still a shit-tonne of paperwork for everybody involved. For companies, even without forced expulsion, other tech hubs are likely to be more attractive now as an EU base.
> My guess is that sooner or later, iTunes will be dismantled and the features will be split into multiple smaller apps

I've been hoping for this for ages, but looking at the new Music app on iOS I guess I should be careful what I wish for. At least iTunes isn't that bad.
Music is waves and frequency. Music appreciation is what you are describing. And appreciation is very dependant on culture. That is why Bach is not (as) appreciated in certain cultures.

Just like photography. Why is one photograph more meaningful than another? it has nothing to do with photography, per se, it has everything to do with the culture of the person doing the appreciation.

There is a link between the two, between creation and appreciation, and those who understand it generally fare better. But it is not required to be a musician, or a photographer or a poet or anything really.
Yes, and that's an eternal problem inherent to the nature of digital goods.

For more complicated sites I use Rails and a rake task to generate the html files, e.g.,

```ruby

namespace :app do

desc "Generate static pages"

task static: :environment do
pages = {
'/' => 'index.html'
}

app = ActionDispatch::Integration::Session.new(Rails.application)

pages.each do |route, output|
puts "Generating #{output}..."
outpath = File.join ([Rails.root, 'public', output])
resp = app.get(route)
if resp == 200
File.delete(outpath) if File.exists?(outpath)

if app.response.body.empty?
puts "[ no content ]"
else
encoded_body = app.response.body.encode(
'UTF-8',
{:invalid => :replace, :undef => :replace, :replace => '?'}
)

File.open(outpath, 'w') do |f|
f.write(encoded_body)
end
end
else
puts "Error generating #{output}!"
end
end
end

end

> why wouldn't the humans question that premise

They do, every so often some do wake up, that's why the agents have to hunt them down before they contaminate the rest of the matrix (whole crops were destroyed), or failing that destroy and remake the matrix.

> If the machines needed a power buffer .. Put every human in a persistent vegetative state by physically destroying the part of the brain that controls consciousness.

The experiment doesn't require them as a power plant but as a living conscious biological computer. Once the Architect realized that machine intelligence wasn't up to the task, that's when he/it decided to enslave all of humanity. The question being; what would be the nature of an artificial intelligence responsible for creating the physical universe. By recreating a small part of it in the Matrix the architect could study the experiment under controlled conditions.
Any idea where I could read up more on watchlists. I kind of assumed they are happening but no idea what sort of thing gets you on one other than a sensible guess.
Ok, my (unmentioned) assumption was VC-created code with no added assembly. I realise that VB code for example would be stupid hard to convert this way.

I'm curious what do you mean by thunks in this case - specifically why would they be different than other code. Is it that the common code in original program may not be valid common code after translation?
It's awesome that you're finding new things to learn. Honestly, reading sheet music is beneficial in a frightfully limited number of situations, and many many great musicians simply can't do it or find it a large struggle. Tabs are a wonderful entry point, I would encourage you to pursue learning by ear before reading. Keep playing!

There are much more powerful ways to do full text search in SQL databases than LIKE. A fair comparison would be something like a PostgreSQL tsvector with a GIN index. Probably not as good as ElasticSearch, but sufficient for simpler cases.

Why on this blue-green earth would you want to ask a vendor for what they consider "essential". How is this useful to you? Why would you expect the vendor to provide this for you (except to further their own sales agenda)? This is a straw man that I implore you to burn.
To be fair to Acorn, it was either that or fold. ARM weren't in the same kind of existential position, so there's that at least. Personally, I just think it's a bit of a pity.
Acquiring the smoking remains of MIPS for $100m wasn't exactly a moment of management genius. It might have been better for them if they had been acquired and the current management had been given golden goodbyes.

Are "cops" prepared for handling multi-million dollar frauds in general? The people reporting this sort of activity aren't wandering into their local police station, they will have the right contacts with the right parts of the state / national agency responsible. Fraud (almost) any form isn't dealt with by the police officers you interact with on a daily basis, just like other serious crime.
typically the advantages of nosql are along the lines of schema-less, speed of writes, reads should be faster typically as well.

speed of writes, there are no constraints that need to be checked with nosql (typically), it's like writing a value into a hash map. with sql there needs to be a check for multiple constraints: uniqueness, null, datatype, etc. if there's a relation then it needs to check those constraints as well.

the whole thing about rdb's is that they're trying to normalize data where possible, you deal with id's and the fields of the table can change without you needing to propagate these changes to other places. in nosql, if you have relational data then you have to manually make sure all these changes are propagated, pretty annoying if you ask me and quite error prone, you end up writing logic an rdb already optimizes for you. take "cascaded deletes", too, this is manual in nosql.

the best usage of nosql is if you have stagnant data, and you need to write it quickly, take a log file contents, for example, or if your data consistency requirement is not that critical (let's say you implement likes for a web post system, if you're missing 300 here or there, not a huge deal). other cases are things like counters, if you have a game where you're tracking scores, things are changing rapidly , but there's really not a lot of relation with other data, redis is a great example of this type of nosql storage, built in incrementing counters.

most of the time when someone brings up nosql for an application, my initial reaction is that it's a premature optimization, for a lot of data, there are tight relationships and rdb is great for that. but i tend to see that you need both in many cases.
That's one of the best reasons not to use people in your next project.

OK, so I use OSX, and I want to play mp3s that I have locally, and see them in a library format that I can search. Even maybe have album art, though I'm not fussed.

Ignoring itunes, how do I do it? What is a good fast low memory music playing app with library management? If I was on Windows I'd be using Foobar2k. On OSX it seems to be either itunes, a command line app, or various bloated messes that aren't honestly better than itunes.

Bit harsh to say they "blew it" with the Comet when they got a fully functional commercial jet airframe programme going five years before anyone else but suffered because they were first and didn't really understand metal fatigue. It's not as if being a huge player in the early jet age and having a better aircraft than the later Comets saved privately-held Douglas from financial struggles and eventually being folded into Boeing either.
You also forget that according to their roadmap core concepts like garbage collection, actor model, I/O are to be implemented after most of the language and libraries are there.

Seeing how those three things deeply impact each other and everything in the language and the libraries, one is left to wonder...
