I don't think this is an accurate distinction. I know a number of people who are living in penury right now due to chasing this boomer fallacy.

People tend to downplay the requirement of a minimal level of material success for happiness, because the alternative is admitting that society isn't set up to profit from, not help us achieve, our hopes and dreams. It's part of the bootstrap fallacy, essentially - you just need to want something enough, and everything will fall in place.
I made an autonomous mode using the sonar sensors and a driving mode. I also made a public repo, but I didn't want to link to it, since the code is so awful (it was just a fun hobby project and I wasn't expecting people to look at it).

Those machines should be built to be at least as annoying as new cars - i.e. if anything breaks, any diagnostic fails, the machine should not start. They probably aren't built that way though because - unlike with cars - there isn't a profit motive to do it this way there.
I do get what you're saying but I think it's not a useful place to focus your attention. I'm not a fan of being a dick, though I sometimes am one, nor a fan of adultury, that said I devote no bandwidth to hand wringing about MLK's personal life, Mother Theresa's temperament.

Under that much scrutiny, you can find a lot of dirt about any human being. Not useful.

You don't know me friend. That's not the kind of thing that I would ever say to someone lightly.

Your last line reads like some manifesto from the 90's. it's naïve in the extreme. The future will be controlled with force. Just like the past. How do you think the materials that make the computers are mined, extracted, and turned into the parts that make your shiny toy? Force.

The idea that you are a freedom fighter is so laughable. Jesus Christ, that's so pathetic that I'm having a hard time thinking that you aren't trolling.
Right, so then it is a net advantage over C, with the (negligible) trade-off of compiler-wrangling. The parent comment seemed to suggest the contrary.

So, let me phrase my criticism as questions :)

How do you declare methods on non-struct types? Or are you disallowing defining your own non-struct types? It seems to me that the method-syntax you introduced will either be a step back, because it disallows non-struct types, or it will be a step back because it makes method declaration inconsistent.

How are the generics implemented? The general tone seems to suggest that you do naive template expansion, but the section about when makes it seem that you are using interface{} and type-assertions in the generated code.

How is the overloading of make handled (assuming it's actually just implemented with the existing generic mechanisms)? It can take between 1 and 3 arguments and does vastly different things to them depending on the type parameter. The latter part might be handled by your specialization mechanism (with considerable runtime overhead for a very central part of the language), but the former is not described.

Overall, I admire implementing a language as a hobby project (I always wanted to do that myself). But I don't see anything that would compel a significant share of people to migrate over either from python or from go. It doesn't come close to python's expressiveness and it also lacks go's simple and orthogonal design.

It seems to me, that you added a few things that are better addressed (and will be addressed) in an eventual go2 and then more or less arbitrarily changed a bunch of things for personal taste. The result feels a bit patchworky; your generics have even more overlap with interfaces than people have feared about a go addition (which is one of the major reasons it doesn't have them) due to the type-switchy-when and the syntax changes create a bunch of inconsistencies.

Still. Plow forwards :) There can only come good of more stuff in the world :)

Mostly, "Junior Developer" means "we want a developer but don't want to pay market rates".

True, but if you've got any internet presence at all, it's already pretty straightforward to associate your name and email address (or addresses).

I used to visit relatives in Kenora, Ontario a couple of times a year. On day 1-3 of the visit I'd think of buying property and running a remote software company. By day 5 or so, I'd be homesick.

Really remote communities are quite different. Nature actively tries to kill you and you spend a lot of your time just dealing with that. Also, with respect to kids, everyone's in the same school. So, you can't really segregate based on socie-economic or educational background of the parents.

I really object to most of the ideas on this list. 5, 6, and 7, are not even AI algorithms but just applications of AI algorithms. 7, knowledge bases, is particularly concerning on that list. A truly intelligent AI shouldn't require humans to input knowledge about the world into it, it should be able to learn it itself.

Algorithmic Information Theory isn't really an approach to AI, but more like a theoretical basis for AI. No one can ever build a working AIXI-tl, it is designed with the assumption of infinite computing power. However they do make a good foundation for understanding why AI can work, in theory. I've argued that neural networks are a (very rough) approximation of AIXI: http://houshalter.tumblr.com/post/120134087595/approximating...

Brain simulations as stated probably won't happen. I think neuroscience research may contribute to AI research. So deep learning will absorb the ideas and use what actually works in practice. But for the most part deep learning has been evolving independently of neuroscience and that will probably continue.

Artificial life is cool but really really hard to get anything interesting from. The "genome" you choose to evolve, and the environment you put it into, matter a huge amount. People have tried making computer code that can evolve, but it usually doesn't get far. Most mutations on most pieces of code just break it, rather than changing its behavior slightly.

That's why deep learning is so successful. Neural nets are "fuzzy" and small changes to the parameters make small changes to the output. And you can do gradient descent on it, and see exactly what parameters to change. Rather than mutating them randomly and hoping it works better.

Mostly AI just needs more computing power. The rapid drop in the price of FLOPS has enabled huge progress in AI in the past 5-10 years. And as the article states, we only have a tiny fraction of the processing power of the human brain. But as Moore's law and related exponential increases continue, we aren't very far from that. Even as transistor sizes stop shrinking, we have a long way to go with 3d architectures or specialized ASICs for AI.

If, as you say, I am merely being charged for services, what do I do If services are being offered which I morally oppose and don't want to be part of? I am still forced to (coerced) to pay for them (theft) regardless of my usage. For example, I am vehemently opposed to our current handful of military actions. I don't want my money going towards innocent loss of life or actions that promote it. You're answer is to simply uproot my life and move?

Great article. He was rightfully charged with manslaughter, but it's hard to see the full picture sometimes (what lead up to this point, what are his life circumstances).

Huh, how is that sloppy reasoning unless you take that out of context? I don't think the EFF is saying that the IP address should never be used as information. It seems they are in perfect agreeance that if there is enough corroborating evidence in addition to the IP information, then the police can consider action.

The EFF's problem is when IP information, as with an anonymous phone call, is used to spur action without enough additional evidence. This is the anecdote they cite in their whitepaper:

http://fusion.net/story/287592/internet-mapping-glitch-kansa...

edit: I responded to someone who clearly pointed out that I misunderstood raynier's argument. The comment was deleted by the time I hit Reply, but here is my reply:

I now agree that I'm at fault for short-shrifting raynier's argument. The whitepaper also includes up on top a story of a place being raided for being a Tor node, which may feel similar to the vagueness of justification that comes from a anonymous phone call, but that's not completely analogous either.

Perhaps the closer analogy would have been SWATting, but I don't think law enforcement supports that as a practice (because it's a result of them getting actively deceived). But I feel that's part of the EFF's overall point: SWATting is clearly a bad thing, whereas the specious reasoning the police sometimes uses to justify a raid based on IP information is not scrutinized enough, because of general tech ignorance.
I agree with you.

HN Interface isn't applicable, but an active community is a key to creating great quality tutorials. Since we launched "hearts" feature on tutorials, we have gathered more than 600 hearts on different tutorials as a social proof providing significance more than social shares. We are open to suggestions on this. Profiles are our next focus. Featuring tutorials an user has either created or has contributed, with some cool gamification.

On (2), we want the community to collaborate on updating & validating content against time.
Why do you think they should open source it?
That is only valid advice for an advanced user and even than is still debatable...
> A better example would be the police raiding my home based on an illegal phone call that came from my phone number.

That's broadly overestimating the reliability of IP addresses, though. Consumer IP addresses change on a random basis, based on whatever obscure policies an ISP has set up at the time.
I am in the medical field and can relate an anecdote, I'm sure which happens regularly across the US.

Patient visiting from India comes in with sepsis from urinary tract infection, and she has a history of multiple ones. ER doctor calls me to admit her. I come down and review her paper chart that the family brought with her and see where her last E coli UTI was resistant to everything except meropenem, and possibly gentamicin although I don't recall.

Until I had looked over this, the patient wasn't in any contact precautions (meaning disposable gloves or gowns for staff) and the ER doctor had given her the usual treatment for a UTI which in her case was going to do nothing.
>Following your passion leads to happiness.

No, not when it leads you to start your own business, which then fails, leaving you penniless and living on the street.

Following your passion may have a better chance of leading you to happiness than following something that you hate, but that's about it. It's not a guarantee of anything. If everyone followed their passion, then society would probably collapse due to massive unemployment and necessary jobs never getting done (like cleaning up trash). How many people really get up every day to go to work because they're passionate about their job? Not many.
Sure, that's the (supervised or unsupervised) learning process in Machine Learning stuff (which is what AI is nowadays, the rest is just rule engines, expert systems, and so on).

But as the complexity grows computational requirements grow much faster.

So, a brute force approach needs super-duper-exponentially more computation. And so far we are not at that level.
We did try to strike a balance and be fair in the numbers. We explicitly didn't use our 7 million number using Postgres \copy (batch load) for this reason. It has unfortunately become a bit of a standard to show the aggregate instead of just the per node numbers. We aimed to make it as clear as we could in the front of the post, so hopefully it's a reasonable balance.

You can send packets with a fake source IP, but you won't get any response back, so it's of extremely limited utility. If there's traffic back and forth between two IPs going through ISP infrastructure, then it's a safe bet that it's the real deal.
Exactly.

If I'm looking into an internet-related crime, the IP address of the offender is gonna be one of the first things I look at. Can someone falsify it? Yes. But not every offender _will_ falsify it, and so it's useful information to at least look into further, even if IP address by itself shouldn't be adequate evidence for a police raid.

Giving software human rights shields authors from responsibility for the actions of their creations.

If I wrote a machine to harass people, I would want my AI to have human rights as well. Then I could claim that it wasn't me who was responsible for harassmaing a human being, but another human being.

In other words, just because you wrote a machine and convinced yourself that it's autonomous shouldn't shield you from responsibility for that machine's actions.

The SPJ code of ethics[1] states that journalists should (because the "highest and primary obligation of ethical journalism is to serve the public"):

– Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and avoid political and other outside activities that may compromise integrity or impartiality, or may damage credibility.

– Deny favored treatment to advertisers, donors or any other special interests, and resist internal and external pressure to influence coverage.

– Explain ethical choices and processes to audiences. Encourage a civil dialogue with the public about journalistic practices, coverage and news content.

– Expose unethical conduct in journalism, including within their organizations.
