That's very interesting and I did not know that. I happen to run my own modest (12-node) cluster, and had planned to move to cloud if I grew beyond 20 nodes. The fact that I would not own the transport layer in my case is quite severely problematic. Going to have to investigate if this is the case at Azure and the rest too. Can't I partition my instances into a VPN and UDP broadcast within that? If anybody has any insight, very happy to hear about it.
Let me work on that!
You have no idea what you're talking about. Paid online courses are also required to make their courses accessible to students, what's different for them is they can make a course accessible to each specific student which can be easier (e.g. if a student is deaf, they need captions but not written descriptions of visuals). Most cases involved brick 'n mortar businesses and institutions and in many online cases they've been extensions of the physical world (Target, UC Berkeley). More recent cases (Netflix) have made it clear that online-only entities are also considered places of public accommodation.

Why UC Berkeley this time? I don't know, other than the complainants came to the DoJ about them, and not some other school.

The purpose of the letter is not to cost the University or to stop them making the materials available. The DoJ never suggests that, it's Berkeley that raised the idea on their own. The purpose is to explain how the University has been violating the law and what they can to correct it so ultimately what is offered can also be used by people with disabilities.
Big difference between tire tracks and footprints.
P4 has been really interesting for a while. Barefoot networks is where the author of the paper went, and they've been working on an ASIC for some time.

People are also building compilers for P4 that are targeting other runtimes like BPF. Recently, there's been an effort to run a subset of BPF on hardware (NPF?).
Being an expert in something doesn't require being an author of a peer-reviewed journal article on the subject.

Journal articles are written to communicate information to those who couldn't perform the experiment/research themselves, either because they have their own research areas (overlapping or not) or because they simply aren't researchers.

No one person is going to have enough depth and breadth to satisfy your requirements. Not even textbook authors would meet them.

Scientists, as part of their training, learn to quickly dissect papers written by others and assimilate the information to the point where they can often make modifications and create experiments that improve on the original or answer a related question not addressed by the first. This is not dissimilar to the way that programmers can take a program written by another and modify/extend it.

You're weirdly focused on this "argument from ultimate authority" instead of simply evaluating the claims and the data that support them. Googling a few of the terms in the article that you're unfamiliar with would be a more useful way to spend your time.

Though first, if you're going to make an informed criticism of a scientist's publication record, you might do well to have enough experience with searching for publications to know that a world-class scientist doesn't always have all of his publications on his website. That was a highlight reel of decades of research [0].

A) was important: Windows was going through some painful transitions and still required paid compiler licenses, which meant porting open source apps was painful, and while Linux was many things, a comfortable desktop OS was not one of them, especially if battery life or not crashing mattered to you (usually video driver or power management bugs rather than the kernel but people with jobs to do don't make that distinction).

A Mac was the one OS where it was easy to run PHP and Photoshop, and the small size + long battery life era starting with the Titanium PowerBook didn't hurt at all. I knew it was going to be interesting when all of the developers and Unix admins I knew started buying Mac laptops for daily use. If only I'd bought more AAPL at $17…

i addressed that at the end of the post. i left working with the Shark before that show, Beyond The Tank, (an entirely different program) started. some of my former co-workers actually made an appearance though. i would guess that show is a lot more fake since it's a lot more along the lines of a traditional reality show like Undercover Boss.
It doesn't need to be as complicated as pathchar, because of a lucky fact: if you measure the end to end bandwidth, you are always measuring the bottleneck bandwidth :) So you can just count how many packets arrive at the other end between two time points and call that the bottleneck bandwidth.
Does Udacity offer programs for those lacking _(partially or entirely)_ in the math(s) required for these types of courses? Ie, to bring them up to speed?

I'm not sure if Udacity is even interested in teaching these types of courses, fwiw... though, i know Khan has lots of math courses.
What was the most important achievement since then? Was it the LIDAR system? Or was it 3d vision? Or some other form of AI?
I went to MIT for my masters and undergrad in CS and took many of these types of classes. However, I've found that these courses were generally more theoretical and not applied enough to be immediately relevant to industry. And this makes sense to me because my Professors were researchers, not applied Self-Driving Car engineers. Some things I was lacking include:

- practical knowledge of libraries (such as OpenCV), and best practices for implementing a robust Computer Vision system.

- awareness of vehicle dynamics and the engineering behind cars.

- sensor fusion and the engineering behind collecting and processing the data a car needs.

- practical knowledge on how to implement a controller and all the required software on a car.

The general point is that these courses give the theoretical background you need but you still need the real practical skills that come with actually implementing these ideas on a real car. I think that's what makes the folks at CMU's robotics lab and Otto so valuable.

Full disclosure, I work at Udacity on the Self-Driving Car Nanodegree program and my knowledge around what skills are needed to be a self-driving car engineer come from talking to Sebastian and the heads of engineering at Otto, Mercedes Benz, and NVidia.
Agreed, this question should be more generic, either GUI or console.

But you don't need or care about optimized html while developing. Much like you only minimize JavaScript when deploying, minimizing the html can be one step in the production build process that you pretty much set up once then forget about.
My favourite feature of this algorithm is it ought to fix the problems of very fast TCP over very long distances when there is nonzero packet loss. I think :) Traditionally recovering from packet loss can take several RTT, and if round trips are long, it might never get up to full speed. In theory, I think this will fix it.
That's fair enough. I didn't say the removal of 6.001 was bad, but many decried it as the death of MIT.

But in short, you're saying that MIT may no longer be "where the future happens."

That's quite possible. But at the moment, there's still an abundance of talent there. OTOH, the lack of an incubator is a problem.

I guess what I'm saying is that you might be right, ut the future is pretty hard to predict.

>What I don't acknowledge is that it's reasonable to comment about the "shitty behavior" of someone who makes a civil statement you happen to disagree with --- or, worse, a civil statement you actually do agree with, but don't want to acknowledge.

Whether I disagree with you is immaterial. I merely refuse to stand by while some popular bully puts words in others' mouths. You can go on all day about how very, very civil you are, but it's clear to me that replying with a totally unsubstantive comment like

>He's a genius? I thought the US was embarrassed by how dumb the vulnerabilities he exploited were. Which is it? [0]

when the only the first three short words are relevant to the parent's actual statements [1]. The others were from the article, which you demonstratively either a) believe 'zelon88 wrote or b) have chosen to conflate with 'zelon88's statements. "Which is it?"

You're obviously not interested in discussions with people who don't agree with you -- I can tell by the way you choose not to engage with their arguments. You've obviously calmed down now, but hiding behind claims of civility shows a shocking lack of self-awareness, particularly in light of what's actually happened. Hope you're doing OK!

For most of the big US banks an international wire costs about $45. That's to send $15 or $15,000.
I'm sure someone more qualified to than me is floating around here. From what I heard at CMU then, the GPS data in '04 was a couple feet off, and everyone was driving a few feet off the road as a result. I imagine the key takeaway then was that one couldn't depend on GPS.
Crowd-sourced machine learning
Ask HN: What are you usually doing when you have an 'insight'?
I've noticed that I've had some of the best insights into things when I was doing other things. I wonder if there are any patterns to this so I'm curious what other peoples' experiences are.
Nah, it's not that bad, but the police do protect it's own like in every other country on earth. And the drug "war" is ill-informed. This might be because Norway has historically had a very strong temperance movement. Some towns were practically dry as late as in the 70s.
A simulator is indeed more practical. A live application will allow exposure in a way the simulator cannot. Its about theory and practice (and marketing, in this case).

I did simulations before doing anything in practice. Benefits were many because there is nothing like the real thing.

Edit: Removed presumptuous comment about myself
For the uninitiated: Emacs major releases start at X.1, not X.0. So this is the first 25.X release, not some minor version release.

The last major version, 24.1, was released in June 2012, so this represents over 4 years of development.
I'd argue it's relatively recent developments in deep learning (enabled by GPU and other advancements).

Driving with purely cameras isn't too far away.

Ah yeah adding that check should help. I wasted a good 20 minutes trying to figure it out the other day. Can the quick-start example be updated to have a single child? I would submit a PR but I was unable to find the repo.
While these issues are in part true, I think part of what maintains the allure of still going abroad or at least away from your current city is the discovery of what you want. Everything on the planet may just be a few clicks and a credit card away, but there are lots of things you don't realize you want because you didn't know they existed. Going and experiencing other cultures can help shape this. For a simple example, I never knew I wanted a cezve until I went to a place where they were more commonly used. Can I buy a cezve in the US? Absolutely, but I likely wouldn't have since the odds of someone using one to make coffee in the US is far lower.

That's just a minor example, but it's representative of the allure that travel can still bring and what it ultimately brings - the chance to see and find things you didn't know about before. Souvenirs that aren't from shops labeled "Souvenir" still are usually much more unique and difficult to acquire without actually going to the source, and even the same activities just done with a different mindset or with a different cultural attitude can make all the difference.
Not trying to come off as a true saint. I just believe marketplaces shouldn't be run by corporations. All these corporations are sucking the life out of the economy by imposing monopolistic taxes on everyone in their "networks".

Why because VC only fund monopolies and the stock market rewards giant hoards of cash off-shore. Is it fueled by jealousy, some, but imagine if all the businesses your talking about didn't have to pay 70 cents a click to advertise and they were rotated or some other more user friendly way display ads. or if you bought enough through a marketplace to cover your own costs you didn't need to see any ads.

Non-profits aren't bound to maximize profits they just have to cover costs.

I think it would be more of a protocol than a service.

Restaurants are about ( for lack of a better term ) UX. I'm not familiar with the situation in New York City, but out along the Interstates and big suburban road-pipes in flyover country, the most popular restaurants have pretty medium-quality food.

And it depend son what sort of restaurant. It'd pretty clear that, for example, Mexican food places tend to be more interested in selling (higher margin) Margaritas than enchiladas.

Montreal has/had much better restaurants, but it seems that was much about immigrants wanting to have their own place in the New World. I was there between 2002 and 2003 and the best places seem to have vanished.
Machine learning algorithms and hardware became much better.
Sitting around shortly after waking up
Given how important self-driving vehicles are, on so many fronts, I think it's fantastic that a company with resources is pushing forward an OSS implementation. Safety alone is reason enough for there to be a good OSS reference implementation. I'm surprised/disappointed that government hasn't been more instrumental in pushing forward an agenda of promoting self-driving cars (while expending resources on other types of work that will be far less effective long-term).

So, this is super cool. I'm surprised it's Udacity doing it; on a couple of fronts:

It seems, on the surface, outside of their core competency...but thinking about it, it does make some sense, if they really have enough paying students (and maybe sponsoring organizations) to make it work. I mean, schools that teach auto repair don't work on fake cars. Why would a school teaching self-driving limit themselves to simulated cars?

But, it's also surprising that Udacity has the funds to make it work. The cost of building self-driving car technology must have come way down just in the past few years. And/or Udacity must be making a lot more money than I would have guessed based on how crowded their market is.

Regardless, it's super cool!
I've been following Apple and the rest of the industry since the mid 90's. Based on what I've seen I suspect that they already have built a handful of ARM Mac prototypes and maintain an ARM version of macOS, probably in a fairly serious way since the A7 shipped. macOS shares quite a bit of code with iOS and has been multi-architecture from the beginning. First bring-up was probably on actual iPhone or iPad dev hardware but they have the in-house fabrication capability to make machines that are visually the same as an existing model (probably 13" Air) with more or less the guts of an iPad. My guess is there are a small number of these floating around campus.

With those assumptions I still would bet against us seeing ARM Macs in the next couple years. There are a lot of advantages to keeping Macs single-architecture. Recent Intel CPUs are efficient enough that saving power there won't make a huge difference in user-available battery life (screen, DRAM, network, etc all use some too). Intel can price their CPUs aggressively enough to make cost not a major issue.

I do think it will eventually happen mainly because it will give them more control over their product line. Indicators of an upcoming shift will be if Intel screws up another generation of mobile CPU (it happened with Skylake, could happen again), Apple adds features like PCI-e for discrete GPU support (ok, they did in A9), and if Ax series performance starts to exceed corresponding Intel mobile parts by >50% (enough to compensate for the overhead of binary translation for legacy x86 apps).

For tens to hundreds of thousands of years, humans found ways to be happy where they were. Today people fly across the country to go to a party. Or to see the Great Barrier Reef before it disappears, due to pollution.

I don't think name-calling is making you any more persuasive.

You seem upset that I didn't address the entirety of someone else's comment, but instead only part of it. But so long as the part we choose to address isn't taken out of context or inconsistent somehow with the rest of the comment, responding to the entirety of someone else's comment is unnecessary --- in fact, it's unproductive, if you don't have much to say about it.

So, in case this wasn't clear to you:

I object to the notion that the person we're talking to is a "genius", and to the idea that society is losing the potential of a genius because it's punishing him for breaking into government websites.

You are free to disagree with me and to make a case for his genius. You won't, because you don't disagree with me. But you're unhappy that I chose to bring this up; that's clear. I'm not interested. Move on? Or find some way to object to what I said that is actually coherent and productive; that would work too.
Cool, here in the Netherlands I have all the time trouble finding master students that have a thorough machine learning background (https://dobots.nl/hall-of-fame/). There is quite a need for this, also in general autonomous robotics! And there is lower hanging fruit than self-driving cars...

I would be grateful if you provide good (math) fundamentals. It's much harder to understand how things work if you have to search for it yourself. Suppose you've never heard about a spark (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_(mathematics)), a Hilbert space (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_space), Metropolis-Hastings (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis%E2%80%93Hastings_al...), or a Dirichlet Process (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_process), then it's not so easy to find such concepts and understand their significance.

(1) If you need some help, you can find me here. I'm currently playing with MCMCs in nonparametric Bayesian methods that adapt to the structure in the real world. It is a waste to sample everything. For examples aisles in a supermarket have structure to them. In the "visual grammar" of the supermarket, they are aligned with each other. MCMC that can encapsulate this type of grammar will mix much faster.

(2) If you find a pupil interested in the combination of transfer learning and deep learning, feel free to refer to me. I'm not interested from the viewpoint of domain adaptation, but from the viewpoint of robotic communication.
I noticed the same. I wonder if this is a result of two horizontally separated eyes (assuming too too are not a cyclops), or a training effect of reading horizontal text regularly?

I went overboard with my own setup. Got a SuperMicro 5018A-FTN4 rack mount server with an Intel Atom C2758 to serve as my pfSense router. Handles Internet routing (250/20 Mbps), and has a 10GbE connection to my switch for the rest of the network for inter-VLAN routing. I have a Cisco Aironet 3702i delivering WiFi. Very overkill for a house but it was a super fun project.

I should probably do some testing to see its real throughput, to see if my efforts were worth it. I should blog about it too, because it's likely a unique setup that would be interesting to others.
