I listen to podcasts for at least 10 hours per week and I probably manage to listen to 20 hours of podcasts in that time. Most podcasts I listen to can be sped up to about 1.3x speed with no obvious loss in quality. Additionally I use a podcast app [1] that "removes audio gaps" which basically chops out "pauses" and "no sound" areas of the podcast.

My company nearly had #2 pushed on us. We've been using Postgres and there is no solid reason for us to switch but a consultant came in an suggested Oracle just because all the big boys use it. That argument has a measurable amount of sway for some reason.
Sorry for being a bit pedantic about it. People sometimes write hand-written recursive descent parsers and call them LL parsers, which is sorta true at some level, but misses IMO the key ingredient of automatically-constructed parse tables. I may have been a bit over-eager in reiterating this distinction.

Poster has a point. Toronto real-estate has been said to be on the verge of collapse since 2004. It keeps growing at insane rates .. we're talking around 10% per annum (don't recall the actual figure). Also, this is despite a ton of construction .. we're talking near-China level cranes here ... any open space near subway lines turns into condos. Lots of stories of people flipping pre-construction units, waiting in line for days to put a deposit down on new construction, etc. I think Toronto is closer to Hong Kong when it comes to the real-estate game. Oh .. and for your viewing pleasure:

I totally agree with this. A significant part of what shapes human perception of reality is not just 'nature' but 'nurture'. How would we be able to fully re-create all the social creation of a version of collective reality that a human experiences due to being indoctrinated for years by parents, family, friends, the community, and society?

I doubt this is something that could be trivially re-created by scientists in a lab-setting, much less fiddling with algorithms. It seems once the basis for human-like learning was in place for a machine, to approach human-like 'intelligence' the machine would need the appropriate social environment to learn the socially appropriate symbols and constructs to effectively relate to the world and function in a given community and society.

This assumes we care about having human-like intelligence. If not, it perhaps won't apply.

You could do the same with C code -- it is getting everyone to follow the policies that is the hard part. Even compiling Rust code in release mode instead of debug removes some essential safety features. Should be clear by now that "policies" just doesn't work, but no, project are repeating the exact same mistake over and over again. :)
FWIW, I'm using Angular (1.x) on a project at work, rather than React. One of the things I did recently was take the CSS file used in the project ("Few Pages App", rather than SPA, which had a common .css file), and turn it into an Angular (javascript) "directive".

I wish I had done this earlier. I have no "compile" step, it's just straight js plus the framework. However, I now have a mechanism to use variables for any (new) stuff with repeated settings, inserted into the rest of the text in the "<style> ... </style>" template.

I agree with everything you said, except I think a perfect idea would be perfect regardless of any imperfect executions. Your vision for a game might still be perfect, but you might derive less pleasure from thinking about it because those thoughts are now tangled up with your feelings of failure.

For another metaphor, the imagined perfection of a member of the opposite sex, and the inability of reality to match that expectation, is a consistent trope in art and media. Happy Together, by the Turtles, pretty much any song written by River Cuomo (Weezer), 500 Days of Summer, etc.

I think the issue is that our individual understanding of perfection is flawed. Perfection is more like Plato's forms, in the sense that something perfect might exist, but we can only begin to imagine what that is. Perhaps Plato is right, and perfection cannot exist in reality, but failure to attain perfection in reality would not cause the true form of something to be any less true.

The visual system is basically a deep neural net of the type we are already building, but it's self-contained. Generally it seems like our brain is composed of a lot of fixed-function neural nets (and other algorithms) which are then integrated by less specialized units. That's my impression anyway.

I think maybe our artificial visual nets are too general, actually, in comparison to natural ones. It not only describes what it sees, but tries to analyze it too. Showing a picture of a dog results in "dog", rather than "big four-legged furry thing". Expecting a visual system to know that a chihuahua and a German shepherd is the same thing is maybe a case of grouping tasks that shouldn't be grouped.
The article focus, and my focus, is a about how or if there is actual evolution occurring within DNA. It is separate and apart from the organism in question. My point is that almost everybody these days mixes up evolution and natural selection when they are two very distinct things.

> ignoring science when it's politically convenient

And I'm not making an argument for it. I'm making the argument that "getting this wrong is personally costly for a lot of people, therefore we should be examining these results with a fine-toothed comb before basing massive social change on them."

But you're right, there would already be monetary incentive to do that.

There is at least one line and that is law and it is crossed in most countries at the moment you e.g. bribe officials.

Here [1]. Fly ash from coal plants tends to contain concentrated amounts of uranium and thorium. In countries with stringent enough regulation, the biggest problem is disposal of the fly ash - other place the problem also include substantial amounts being pumped into the atmosphere, and overall coal ends up killing a lot of people. Note that this is not just radiation but also heart attacks and respiratory problems.

E.g. here [2] are numbers claiming deaths from US coal fired plants alone (which are by no means the worst ones) kill 13,000 people in the US every year.

>which means that it either is likely to happen in 5..50 years, or it isn't "likely" at all.

Someone making a bet on that basis on AI back in 1960 would have lost badly. Everything always seems like it's 3 to 5 years away. I think it's perfectly reasonable to suppose that it might take 500 years. To my mind there's a good chance it will take closer to that sort of time frame than Ray Kurzweil likes to suggest. Even if it took only 25 years to implement once we had a solid grounding in how to design it, I see no reason to believe we will make such an architectural breakthrough within the next 25 years so even 50 years seems optimistic.

I don't use OO when I write PHP but it seems the real vulnerability there is the use of eval(). There is almost never a legitimate use for that function. I would definitely draw in to question the wisdom of OWASP deciding to classify this as a separate vulnerability. You should use the disable_functions directive in php.ini to hard-disable eval() (and other iffy functions) on production servers.

A lot of that was a string of consulting gigs. I hated that. Employee positions was about every other year. That was still a bad habit. I'm really working on changing that. Part of changing that is finding a really strong team. It sounds weird, but I don't want to be the strongest member of a team :) And I'm pretty damn good. I want to learn and be pushed to be better. A team like that can be hard to find.
i don't know why trying to simulate the brain is so popular when there is a conversation about how to archive AI. Most of our current achievement were inspired by nature but then separated to better exploit the different tools we have to achieve said thing. E.g. the plane: Most of the initial designs were heavily inspired by birds but over time the similarity decreased and not increased. We now have jet-engines and no reason for mechanical movement of our wings. I am generalising a bit, but what if something similar happens to AI? Maybe we will achieve general AI, or just something very smart, that is very different from our brain.
I don't know, but "lockstep" is a pretty darn strong correlation, with a solid hypothesis for a causative mechanism. I'll wait to see if the treatments actually work, but as someone with a friend who suffered from this, I'm excited.
> good enough

I find that this phrase irks me quite a lot these days. Feels like it's at every corner of software development waiting to pounce and ensure thoroughly mediocre results.

There's something to be said about, "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" but at the same time, "good enough", especially when it comes to UI speed/responsiveness and UX quality, feels like a massive cop out. Isn't there a middle ground somewhere that doesn't call for such huge concessions?

As a result, I don't use it. My friends on G+ are enough sharing for me :)

> Untangling this requires a complete mentality shift.

I agree with this.

I don't agree with this.

I agree that competition and status seeking can lead to bad outcomes.

However this is wholly about how competition and status seeking are channeled. They are instincts, they come naturally.

Clearly in the present order they are not channeled in ways that lead to superior or interesting outcomes since mediocrity is everywhere.

Embodiment is an essential aspect of AI agents. Without it, it would have no way to interact with the world. Common ML algorithms usually learn from labeled data, so they have no freedom to explore. They can only consume a single set of data. Agents are capable of learning by exploration.

The most important aspect of intelligent agents is that they use reinforcement learning to maximize reward. If you add reward and behavior learning to the banal neural network, you get an intelligent agent. In time such agents could become as intelligent as us.

By comparison, humans have inborn reward functions - they are the natural instincts - eat, sleep, socialize, sex, creativity, fight, run. They are genetically selected in order to optimize our survival. So we just learn from them - trying to maximize our rewards, we become as intelligent as we are.

Neural nets don't have that, so we have to give them reward systems. Fortunately it is much easier to code a reward function than an intelligent agent.

I would say that's more because Yahoo lacks any real good vision. :)

From what I see (based on this chart -- http://petapixel.com/2015/04/09/this-is-what-the-history-of-...) -- DSLRs and ILCs are "slow but steady" and not crashing too badly. A "niche" for sure. But until smartphones can match the quality of a DSLR in certain situations (low light or zoom for a start) I can see there always being a market for these higher-end amateur / hobbyist type photographers. The category being slaughtered now by smartphones is (obviously) the compact digital.

Flickr's not going to be able to compete at this point with the general social media photography. Why not focus on a market they once had a good handle on and probably isn't going away anytime soon?
Presumably because fewer applications use SSL_peek().

That's not what this scheduler does. It simply bundles up some fibers. You don't have control over the actual scheduling. Relevant section of documentation

When a fiber would block, it suspends to the scheduler from the current thread. The scheduler will arrange to re-start the fiber when the port or channel becomes readable or writable, as appropriate. For ports, the scheduler adds the file descriptor associated with the port to an epoll set. In either case, the scheduler remembers which fibers are waiting and for what, so that the user can inspect the state of their system.

If no scheduler has been installed in the current thread, the fiber will... well, we don’t know yet! Either it blocks its thread, or it aborts. We don’t know.

In fact it is pretty clear there is zero control user has over any scheduling activity other than suspending and resuming. It is all driven by polling events internal to the implementation.
