Thank you n-gauge. Your idea is really interesting. I will try to consider it for next versions.
They often appear on French TV shows to promote their popular science books. It's pretty sad because their book suck. I feel sorry for the persons that buy them.

Still, I find the Bogdanoff fascinating. I don't think they are imposters. They just have their very own confused way of understanding science. And I have to admit they're quite entertaining and likable. I used to watch them on TV when I was a kid more than 30 years ago. They hosted some kind of sci-fi show.
This article mentions Snapchat's hundreds of employees and multiple offices. This is one of the most obvious examples of the "what are they all doing?" question for me. I know it must take quite a few people to run operations at that scale, and of course they have an advertising business too, which likely explains the need for multiple offices. But it seems like Snapchat is still an extremely minimal app with only a couple of extra features being added over the years. Instagram had only 13 employees when it was acquired, so what role are most of these people in?
This is part of a Haskell class that started last week. I highly recommend it, if you've always wanted to learn Haskell.

I think what killed Google Glass was more price and availability. Combined with concerns over the camera, that solidified the whole glasshole thing.
> Solution: put a camera at line of sight. Make it super simple to capture.

But these are sunglasses which are unlikely to be worn much indoors. So one might still have to fumble in a bag for the glasses, don them to put the camera in line of sight and then take a snap.

What really irks me is the overloading of the term 'spectacles'. These are absolutely not spectacles as commonly understood: "lenses to help a person's sight". But henceforth, any time anyone wants to search for spectacles they'll have to include terms to exclude Snapchat's gadget.

Surely they could have saved some of the money they spent on buying spectacles.com and invented a unique name. Snapticles? ( Google lists four hits for that word right now ).
"It is not the strongest of the species
that survives, nor the most intelligent;
it is the one most adaptable to change."

Isn't this (from a very, very high perspective) the reason why thousands of years of power concentration / consolidation / empire-building endeavors went down the drain each and every time .. and the current attempt (where attempt is too weak of a word), regardless of the tools/strategies/technologies being used(yes _you_ are a part of it) is nothing more than a manifestation of the same power-hungry "elite" ape-brains steering the world counter-nature(from decentralization, competition etc) into its abyss? Everyone knows that a system that can't evolve is a dead system .. and not everyone but at least some people know that today's elite mindset with most of its "enlightened" ideas (some if its proverbial arms even using the same, cherry-picked nature-references as the one I'm picking on right now) - are conceptually the same regardless of the time period

Sorry for this rant, I think our civilization won't survive if the world keeps its current direction(well, the parts that will make it .. and yes both species), decentralization, limiting the concentration of power whatever it takes .. that's the only way

Scott Aaronson's posts on D-Wave are worth reading in full, including the discussion in the comments. He's a brilliant guy and his intellectual honesty is commendable. In other words, he's willing (and excited) to be proved wrong.
I do.

My technical focus: Backend technologies / Multithreading / Java
Also I'm very much into sales / marketing lately.
It depends on whether the simulations are on fixed-length 'books' (the analogy used in the post) or on something more self-structuring (like Genetic Programming as a simple model, or the actual case of DNA coding for protein / cell / body assembly).

> It's not necessary to create a Platonic space of variations. This is like talking about the Platonic set of all binary numbers between 0000000000000000 and 1111111111111111 ...

I think you've misunderstood Platonic spaces. ("Platonic space of solids" is a subset of space of all solids.)

What interests me when speculating about evolution and platonic notions is the space of the possible, with the speculation high bit being that the "platonic" essense of this space is [can be informed by] group theoretic structures and compositional rules.

It's interesting that they frame the problem as "woe be to the black users, the AI might discriminate against them". First, approximately all of Google's most valuable users (or any other ad-based platform) are non-black. Secondly, the problem is empirically the opposite.

We really do have a hardon for that Apple SoC, don't we?
Don't want to beat a dead horse, but the implementation (or the prototype screenshot) doesn't really seem to achieve the goal ("In short, Omni frees the programmer of unnecessary tasks that the classic way of writing programs in text files imposes on them to let you get things done.").

Looks like this approach actually ADDS more unnecessary tasks the programmer has to go through just to express him/herself.
> Isn't the ideal system to not assume anything about the content it's analyzing ...

Because Google no longer just searches for literal strings of text, ranked by links.

They now infer your meaning and find results that match your intent -- even if the exact search string doesn't exist in the search results.

For more on this, read about Hinton's work on "thought vectors" [1].

So if Google can't determine the meaning of African American language as well as it can standard English, then that content is likely to be less visible in search results.

If I understand, you suggest a better onboarding which explains what is the purpose of the app and why and how permissions are used?

Thank you for the hint about "Show HN", I was not aware of it. I will probably give a try.
According to that site, Free Software (as defined by the FSF) is not Copyfree.

As far as I can tell, Copyfree is like the BSD license, except you can only restrict changes to the license text itself; the license itself may not be changed or added to, but everything else in the project may be used and changed in any way. So, effectively, it seems like a license where the license itself is copyrighted with all rights reserved, but the rest of the project is public domain.

So, just like BSD, anyone can take a Copyfree project proprietary, turning it non-free.

The GPL is as important today as ever.

My reasoning is that it's probably easier to harm someone by botching an operation, or by administering an overdose, then it is by their not having the surgery at all, or skipping medication. Not that either case is ideal, of course!

No doubt doctors and nurses are overworked. It occurs to me that our culture may set the bar too low on when to intervene. Things seem to go wrong more often than we like to acknowledge.

Heck, just sleeping a few nights in a hospital, without any treatment, already exposes a human to unhealthy hospital food, infectious disease, and a small, but non-zero, risk of a nurse mistakenly pumping you full of insulin.
A true AI bot could help you reason through things, teach you about a subject in a way tailored to you, could give you a vision of how you could be doing things differently, it could be a springboard for new ideas on your projects, etc. That would be my vision for the ultimate personal AI app. It's about extending your brain power and even your person. That said I doubt we're even 50 years away from something like that.
Good FOSS 3+ axis CAM software, preferably OS-agnostic.

There's a quiet FOSS revolution happening in machine tool motion control: several usable CAD packages (FreeCAD, LibreCAD, SolveSpace, to name a few), a powerful motion controller (LinuxCNC), even a few open embedded servo drives. But flexible, powerful CAM to glue these parts together seems to be the type of tough niche problem, requiring a lot of domain knowledge, where anybody capable of taking it on wants to get paid for their work. A lot like the EDA field before KiCad gathered some momentum.

Not to ignore the work put into PyCAM and other small efforts in this space. It's definitely a start.
> you're charging for your time

This is why this analogy is wrong. If a country doesn't accept the TTIP it'll be fine. There's no cost incurred.
To go further down the rabbit hole, there were only two ways the US would have lost the war against Imperial Japan, and the second was Soviet subversion after the war in Europe was finished and we were not only not needed by them, but actively unwanted as a fully mobilized Great Power. Then again, as I mentioned above, we were rapidly transferring divisions wholesale for redeployment in the Pacific for Operation Downfall. What I'd really like to know is when the Bring the Boys Back Home propaganda campaign began, before or after VJ Day; my Google Fu isn't good enough right now.

The other way, of course, would be the Japanese scheme to make us tire of cost in blood, and their Air Force and Navy had a truly unpleasant surprise in store for the US Navy with vastly more kamikazes ready than we thought, which would have been much more effective than in Okinawa due to the vastly shorter distances and navigational skills required. That was, BTW, the bloodiest US Navy battle in history.

So underestimated that half our carrier air assets were assigned to the north of the relevant area, and the planned CAPs were way to thin to have stopped all that many of them. Although we could have at least somewhat corrected those in a few days after the magnitude of the kamikaze threat materialized, but there's no guarantee of success on our part, and if the Japanese had managed, as they planned, to take out troop transports....

On the other hand, we were really angry by then, and fighting to win. Is there any indication that they thought the outcome in the Pacific was in doubt? (Serious question, I don't know.)
I think many people in tech missed a few million dollar opportunities. It's fine... we're not paid poorly.
No point to refer to "industry experts". Either data shows speedup, or it doesn't. Things will become clear after they release the next version [0]. If there's x1000 speedup, as claimed, it's a real deal, no matter if it's "really quantum" or otherwise.

Then why bring up WSJ at all? What about all the other papers? and what about all the other sources of training data for NLP research?

WSJ dataset is not the only such dataset. NLP is not very good with standard English yet and usually doesn't generalize from topic to topic. Dialects and other languages - especially those without formal rules - will come when we can deal with standard English.

> When that model is used in large-scale applications, it will not just repeat those biases, it will amplify them. It propagates biased language, which feeds back into the model in a self-reinforcing vicious cycle of increasing bias.

Which is precisely why social media (e.g. your newsfeed) is such an awful source for news, especially when you consider how low the standards are on digital publishing these days...

I have master in graphicdesign/ux, i am ok with tech so i started to do programming a lot (to the point that economicaly its much better for me to just program than design). I am also big on open-source.

There is huge problem with open-source design. The kind of design you are talking about needs to be centralized. Design is about bigger picture, about consistency and overall aim. There are so many design solutions to achieve the same thing... usualy what ends up happening is that the dev implementing it just does it in his way. When this piles up it harms the project. I understand the dev implementing it, he has all the right. But overall its realy hard. And its a social problem, not technical one.
As a thought exercise, here's how a hypothetical scam product (we'll call it Hysteria) could work.

1. Market Hysteria as a revolutionary product in whatever space is currently attracting the most hype. Get everyone excited by promising to bring a popular science fiction book/film to life.

2. Spend half an afternoon cloning bitcoin to create new cryptocurrency linked to your product and start selling the coins. Offer limited time "early mover" price to capitalize on FOMO.

3. Work your press contacts to create more buzz around Hysteria.

4. Once you collected a few million dollars selling coins, go out of business. You haven't really defrauded anyone (you delivered the promised coins, and it isn't your fault they didn't turn out to be worth anything), and in an industry where the mantra is "fail fast" your activity isn't likely to attract that much attention.
Then you would be very surprised. Patient data is fragmented and doctors are overworked, accidentally missing something routine happens constantly. But unnecessary treatment happens too, if you're interested in that, read up on Choosing Wisely.
I get your point as some of the most articulate posts on here were by you and the others who responded on this topic. Wow, some passion behind this. Do you think it's ever political in the left, right, etc., since of the word?

What's wrong with Linux? Are you referring to RHEL and things like that?
You are underestimating the popularity of the Apple Watch. Sure, it's nowhere near as ubiquitous as the iPhone, but it's by no means limited to tech circles. Part of the problem is that many people that might be ineterested in one were not able to justify the price. With the new price drop on the series 1 I suspect the market share will inrease significantly. Others meanwhile were waiting for the second generation because they didn't want to be on the bleeding edge. The series 2 is sold out everywhere and has a 3-5 week lead time, about the same as the iPhone.
A 2004 study in Californian prisons found that 73% of suicides in incarceration happened in isolation cells, where less than 10% of the prison population of the state was being held. Separate research in New York City concluded that prisoners in solitary were seven times more likely to harm themselves than those in the general prison population.

For people with pre-existing mental vulnerabilities, solitary confinement can be close to torturous
Ron Hornberg, National Alliance on Mental Illness
“It is pretty well established that solitary confinement has a very detrimental effect on a person’s mental health and for people with pre-existing mental vulnerabilities it can be close to torturous,” said Ron Hornberg of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation’s largest grassroots mental health advocacy group.*

“It’s a sure-fire way to worsen symptoms.”

The law is a very blunt tool. I do not let it override my sense of morality. I see it more as a visible but incomplete and faulty consensus.

I think "Shut up and show me your code" is another way to enforce a morality, and it ends up with a different form of segregation, expressed well be Alan Cooper's book "The Inmates Are Running the Asylum". I prefer egalitarianism over the false promises of meritocracy.

As such, we have very different views of how the world works, much less should work. They cannot be resolved in HN comments.

Er, how are those couple doodles examples of the empirically opposite problem? They have nothing to do with AI. (Also... is any representation of people of color an instance of anti-white bias? Because otherwise, I don't see what the problem is with those doodles.)

Also: "approximately all of Google's most valuable users (or any other ad-based platform) are non-black"... "most valuable users"? Really? Putting aside whether that's even an accurate assessment in the financial terms in which it was presumably intended: Do ethics stop at treating well only the people with most profit potential? Is impact on business our only arbiter?
My item added to that would be this,

"There's a universal dedicated storage mechanism for the state of the operating system and its related packages similar to a SQL database."

It really annoys me how ad-hoc state and values are treated in an operating system with ASCII config files.

You can always have means of human-friendliness even if the underlying data is more strictly structured such as in a database but you can't go the other way around.

Imagine almost like a SQL-like language to provision/configure/restore an operating system.

SELECT name FROM installed_packages WHERE installed_date > '2016-01-01 00:00:00';

BEGIN;
DROP FROM installed_packages WHERE package_name = "python2";
INSTALL PACKAGE WHERE package_name = "python3";
COMMIT;

Operating systems are still stuck with an over-zealous "the unix way or the highway" mentality of cobbling together fragile ad-hoc config files with arbitrary config languages.

Each package invents their own config language and forces it down your throat.
This approach was common in mainframes - you would buy a box that contained everything, but only the parts that you'd paid for would be accessible. If you wanted more, you could just apply an unlock code that you'd bought, and new features would come online, that were lying dormant all along. Even up to the level of more CPUs.

By which I mean that, I think 'performance' is a slippery eel of a concept. The A10 fits in my pocket and and the Xeon Phi does not...or rather it doesn't in a way that provides me with useful computations...and the latest i7 doesn't hold a candle to the GPU in my $40 graphics card when I want to rotate the 16 million pixels my camera stuffs into a RAW file...and if I want to build a Kubernetes cluster, I can throw Raspberry Pi's at the problem.

Google, probably more than any other company in the world, gets that their "most valuable users" aren't large coherent groups of any sort, Google wins by catering to everybody at once (aka "the long tail", to use a 2000s-ism).
