Maybe today, but what about tomorrow?

Even if Google is perfectly secure from bad-actors today, they might not be tomorrow. And if they themselves suddenly switch to being a bad-actor, they aren't going to throw all that data away and start from scratch first.
It also doesn't give you very good tools for refactoring to clean up the awfulness. Unit testing tools and the type system in C are such that it's fairly difficult to ensure that your refactor hasn't broken anything.
Topic modeling made just simple enough
That's an interesting angle I hadn't considered.

Although, wouldn't building a moon base first make more sense? Walk before you can run, sort of thing? Or even Venus, since it's closer.

Vim or Emacs? :trollface:

But seriously, I'm tremendously curious about the use for this with video processing. Has there been any good benchmarks with that?
I don't think the prevalence of "actual corruption" justifies it.

Just to be clear though, I think HRCs opponents would in all likelihood behave in similar manner.

>All that is to say that consequential political appointments can be had through patronage. Unless you can somehow show that this appointment was directly requested by Rajiv, again my response is that he probably didn't want this particular position, but it's the one that was left after HRC exhausted the choice positions.

I don't think what Rajiv wanted is really relevant here, he supported Hillary and was rewarded for it in a very inappropriate manner, that's corruption.

I wouldn't have any complaints if the post Rajiv was handed was one he was qualified for, but that obviously isn't the case here. Nothing wrong with handing out consequential positions to qualified people.

>Again, I don't think the action was responsible but I can't see how it was out of line with the dysfunctional status quo.

It's not, just as the cop trying to extort me for a bribe in Thailand isn't. Doesn't make it any less corrupt though.
Not exciting. Most of the array processing / streaming facilities are steaming piles.

You have Hadoop/MR and Monet in the OSS group. SysbaseIQ, KDB, Teradata, Vertica, VectorWise, etc. all provide either extended SQL or additional query support to use ordering information in some (often weak) way.

You can even count Oracle In Memory Analytics with TSQL with its cursor model if you really want.

For example for KDB to get the last price and sum of volumer for each second of AAPL you would do in KSQL:

select last px, sum vol by time.second from trade where sym=`AAPL

on it can be done in its lower level language K/Q as (approx, I'm a little rusty)

g:group trade.time.second @ where trade.sym=`AAPL
flip`px`vol!(last each trade.px g; sum each trade.vol g)

That's part of Taser International's business. They basically are providing a lifecycle solution from replacement to cloud storage for their body camera product.

Edit: Although I have no idea if they are doing it "well" and there may be pain points to fix in the day to day. So yeah, probably an opportunity there.
Would the pricing be per app, or per user?

If you charge per user, it's unaffordable for small developers (unless they push the cost on to their users).

If you charge per app, you won't make enough money for it to be worthwhile.
Yes, we are leaving 2X on the table in terms of peak frequency compared to well staffed chipzilla teams. Not ideal, but we have a big enough of a lead in terms of architecture that it kind of works.
> There’s a big, uncomfortable question of how to criticize past work, and whether online critiques of past work constitute “bullying” or shaming.

Science is fundamentally reputation-driven. One of, if not the primary incentive that encourages scientists to do science work is the chance of raising their prestige. Citations are one very quantifiable yardstick for this.

If positive social sanctions are a driving force for science, then it's entirely reasonable that negative sanctions should come into play too. If you can well-cited paper and attract fame, then a poor paper should likewise attract shame.

Otherwise you have a positive feedback loop where once a scientist has attracted enough prestige, they are untouchable. We need negative feedback to balance that out.
> if they are doing it ... it will be the dead end of their business.

I wish I could share your confidence about that. It seems to me we've seen corporate data leaks, deceptive practices, huge hack attacks, etc and all that happens is the corporations get a temporary PR black eye -- and then spring back into action as powerfully as before.

In the case of Google, if it came out that, say, Russian hackers had breached a bunch of gmail accounts, how many customers would just up and walk away from Google? And what company could even come close to filling the void to replace google for all of us consumers?

Like I say, I wanna believe what you believe. But it just doesn't seem like that's what happens in the real marketplace.
Sounds like is being made the fall guy for this.
I live in SF (from Phoenix, AZ), but I agree, I don't think a particular locality really matters. The Internet has made remote development possible for most startups. In fact, if Kernel.org (Linux) was considered a startup, it's a project founded by people not from a single city.

I understand to some degree the reasons startup people want people within 20 miles of them. But if somebody is happy living in Anchorage, AK, why should I convince this person to move where I am, as long as GH issues are being punched out?

That said, I love SF, motorcycling to Marin, and I don't think I'll move anywhere else for the distant future.
On top of that, the cloud we have now is commercialized, opaque and constantly under pressure to comply with a government that many distrust, for what I would say very good reasons.

I would like to say that the cloud we have is a privacy concern because we don't know the full scope of data collected, nor what happens to it, nor do we own any of "our" data once it's in the cloud. But not every cloud would have to be that.

There's a perfect world where one wouldn't have to be paranoid about this stuff, but it's not what we have right now.
I'm not making it sound like that, that was precisely the case. Hence the laws.
Yes, we do!
I recently flew to Munich/Prague with Air Canada and Lufthansa - the flight attendants said to both not charge a Samsung Note 7 and that they require them to actually also be turned off.
There will always be an element of who you know in any community, but Atlanta goes a bit further than the norm to the point of ignoring/devaluing the pieces that are at the soul of successful tech startups.....namely the tech.
What your mocks do when you aren't looking
Well some cities that have had them are actually losing them because retention rules keep changing and beyond thirty days it becomes very expensive to manage all that video. Think of just the storage requirements then go beyond that to determine providing usable queries of the video along with proper protection of the video until expiration
There are ways to account for that. A model can be fit to race, and then you only predict "on top" of race (meaning residuals). You use that model, which is independent of race.
The most perfect keyboard ever envisioned (whose name shall not be mentioned) has the CTRL key there. It has no dedicated caps-lock key at all.

> I firmly believe Musk is totally willing to bankrupt his company (and himself) to achieve his goal of landing on Mars, but are his investors?

It would seem so, yes.

> What about Boeing and Lockheed Martin (ULA)?

Doubtful. Their motivation is to earn profit. Elon's motivation is his "pioneerism" (the doctrine behind the act of pioneering).

> At least with a government landing on Mars, you can expect science to be conducted.

It's been 44 years since humans physically conducted science on another body. Robots are great for "doing science" that's planned out in advance, humans are great for "doing science" ad-hoc.

> What does a for-profit company do there, when there's not much to make a profit from?

I just don't see SpaceX as a for-profit company when its leader unabashedly says that profiteering would ruin his vision for SpaceX. The fact that people keep throwing money at them just underscores the human (and, yes, corporate) drive to stand behind him.

> What's the end-game here? We land and say "we did it!"... then what?

That's the most wonderful thing of all. We don't know what would happen next. To quote Richard Feynman (emphasis added): "Some people say, 'How can you live without knowing?' I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know."

Is this actually running Erlang processes on the epiphany cores or just erlang spawning special processes on the epiphany cores? I've seen the latter and was not impressed.
You probably just don't notice when it is done in stuff with higher production values.

To me the most likely explanation is that they wanted a certain (short) run time and she only did 1 take.
If you can't come up with uses for it, you weren't its target audience in the first place.
The linked paper mentions a 500 MHz operating frequency, as well as mentioning a completely automated RTL-to-GDS flow. 500 MHz seems extraordinarily slow for a 16nm chip - was this just an explicit decision to take whatever the tools would give you so as to minimize back-end PD work? Also, given the performance target (high flops/w), how much effort did you spend on power optimization?
The depressing thing for me is to know that when they show me a Starbucks ad, Twitter makes pennies for that. I would much rather just pay those pennies myself and not see ads.
Just about any introductory anthropology textbook.

I think the idea may have originated with anthropologist Donald Brown, who wrote a book Human Universals (which I haven't read) about traits that are pretty much ubiquitous across all cultures.

Hey Andreas,

I'm unable to find the feature branch bringing Parallella support to OTP https://github.com/margnus1/otp/branches
Maybe it was merged upstream already?

You came a long way since I saw you in London in 2013. 1024 cores came sooner that 2020! Amazing job.
It's backward compatible with Epiphany-III...so it's still Epiphany ISA with new instructions.
Eric Garner's death certainly had an impact across the country - but one place where it didn't was the NYPD.

This is precisely why we can't have both. I have the feeling that body cameras are used as a smoke-and-mirror diversion, by organizations that aren't committed to change.
Not a hardware genius here. What does coherent memory mean?
Surely you meant to ask about a Beowulf cluster too.
Haha you could still be within a mile of DC after driving 20 minutes. It takes a little longer to find a corn field.
I don't think this would really work out all that well, just at a practical level. Firearms really want to be just as simple and reliable as they can be, which is the downside of most so-called smart gun designs. If it gets to the point that you have to pull the trigger, you don't want any doubt about whether you'll effectively have lead going down range.

The camera, storage, and power source would also need to be rugged enough to stand up to the stress and impact of repeated firings, and you'd have to keep that power source juiced up. I imagine you'd see a lot of dead batteries in gun-cams.
If the Pixel came out with the dual camera like the iPhone Plus and was cheaper I would seriously consider switching

Design symmetry and regularity was the key. Harder to achieve that with a heterogeneous architecture.
Hot in the summer, mostly pleasant the rest of the year. It snows every other year or so, but doesn't stick, generally. There are short spring and fall seasons, but they do exist.

Between 7 and 11 rain days per month. We actually get more rain than Seattle, but on fewer days.

Any complaints of "bad weather" generally equate to "it's too hot" or "I don't like it". For general human living, it's quite moderate.
I've hacked on audited objects before to accomplish something similar (https://github.com/boyski/audited-objects) It uses ld preload to do it and not strace, but same idea. I was checking existing makefile rules, but was considering using audited objects to help transition to tup or bazil.

IIRC strace wouldn't work if you used any setuid binaries (horrible but our makefiles used sudo for some things).

There are also some tricky corner cases like sed -i which creates a new file then moves it.
Sure, but then I'm not sure anyone I know is the target audience. Not that many people really need or want personal secretaries in the first place, let alone want to make financial and privacy sacrifices so they can have a mentally retarded AI pseudo-secretary.

Most people get through their daily lives just fine on their own.
The Amazon reviews on it look good. I like how it's very incremental and more manual than modern provers. The latter being advantages as the beginner will have a glimpse of what they're doing or why. I might order a copy.
That study is... Contentious, even among technophiles, as per the previous HN discussion thread on it.

The most important thing that body cameras 'fix', is giving the public the perception that the police are doing 'something' to solve the problem. (Now that we've done something, can everyone be quiet, and go back to work?)

This is why police departments tolerate the idea of body cameras. It gives them more budget, and the impression of accountability - all the while, without having to do anything to change cop culture. Cops know that no amount of video evidence will overpower the testimony of a reliable, professional eyewitness - themselves.
Not like it would be in NY or London, no. You can do it, and many do, but it's more work than most would consider "practical".

Uber is pretty good though when you need it.
Yeah, you can excuse any amount of bullshit if you spin it as a political provocation intended to open the eyes of the ideologically impure masses.

Who said it is incompetent? Why is it incompetence? It's possible someone has their cloudflare security turned up to 11. Maybe they have hacker problems and would rather risk a few less clicks than getting completed p0wned.

Also keep in mind that just because it's "RSS" doesn't mean there is a quick and easy way to exclude it from security. On your average Wordpress blog the URL is /somethingradom/feed/. So either Cloudflare assumes every URL of /feed/ should be exempt, or it should read the contents of every page to check for exclusions?

Also do keep in mind that if you're a Cloudflare customer you can easily exclude specific URLS from this type of security scrutiny. So perhaps the blog owner is incompetent? Perhaps this person posting this is on a network with a computer thats infected with a botnet.

Who knows. This "article" is shit.
There's too much undefined behaviour for even modern C++ to be considered type safe: a dangling reference or invalidated iterator allows you to break it easily, accidentally. (Even "opt-out type safety" is a stretch, opt-in-with-extra-tooling-and-tests seems more appropriate.)
This reads like an angry rant and not much else

What, are we going to police twitter now and force people to follow certain lists of other people?
GPS is out there for anybody to use for free. It's incredibly useful and the value to the economy of having that there as a utility anybody can use is huge.

Perhaps Twitter as a utility could be just as valuable. Maybe it doesn't need to be monetized.
Sorry to hear that, but thank you for being forthcoming.

Paper stated that 500MHz number was arbitrary (had to fill in something for people to compare to). Agree that 500MHz with 16nm FinFet is ridiculously slow. We are not disclosing actual performance numbers until silicon returns in 4-5 months. 28nm Epiphany-IV silicon ran at 800MHZ.
Personally, I NOP-ed all arrow keys _and_ hjkl also, after I found myself keeping j pressed to get to an area at the bottom of the window. Which would be an L. Then NOP-ed, bit by bit, many other things which could be done faster. 90% of my movements are search, BWtf{} and some scrolling with zt zz zb. The only case I found the lack of hjkl problematic so far is in block visual mode.

Another anti-pattern I did was Da and dWi, NOP-ed them and forced myself to start using C and cW respectively. Not much of an achievement, but feels better :) Same for x, I deleted whole words with x, then pressed i, I removed the mapping of x.

Conclusion: in case you think you have an anti-pattern, just NOP the mappings. In case one or two turns out to be too much of restriction, you could always remove the NOP mapping later.
> yet here we have a hundred billion dollar worldwide online ad industry.

... which is plagued with spam and fraud. Victims are both the advertisers (who pay for ad slots that are viewed/clicked by bots) and the consumers (who suffer from malware ads, un-usable websites because there are 30+ trackers, ad brokers etc. on one single site, and higher product prices because the vendors have to pay for ads). The only ones who profits are the countless middle men - ad brokers and "big data analysis/retargeting" companies which kill user privacy on a global scale while providing next to zero value.

We should, once and for all, simply massively regulate advertising and re-think about how we as a society fund the services currently funded by ads. Especially in media, where "real" journalism had to step back in favor of ever more clickbait crap...

If the container is going to be metal, then hydrogen is an option. I wonder about flammability. This substance is metal with an extremely high surface area/volume ratio. It may be very flammable, and potentially contain much greater energies, when mixed with air.

I know it's a pet peeve of the community here, and I'd love a SD card slot or removable battery as much as the next geek.

But have you considered that HN (and most tech sites) are an echo chamber. And that really, most people don't care?

That ship has already sailed, and most manufacturers don't have these features anymore, cause they don't sell.

People would rather lightness, or build quality or extra capacity etc. over these features.
I haven't taken it, sounds interesting.

You'll get as much if not more from the free machine learning Georgia tech course with Tom Mitchell's book than the nanodegree.
As a follow up, I took Thruns robotic driving course and it suffers from being a purely software course. There are optional hardware projects but no imparted hardware instruction.
So I'd be especially leery of an automated driving nanodegree degree online.
SMS spam is common in Europe.
Yeah, I've used the keyword myself but it was discouraged. Instead, we were taught to work with the local variables, stack, frame, heap, etc. It's technically in there at some point as a compiler hint but the internal structure reflects the PDP's. So, I partly take the comment back in that it was there but not standard practice.

If these are attitudes typical of psychology, then I cannot say I consider psychology to be a proper social science. There is a fundamental misunderstanding of how knowledge is created through the scientific process if the verification step is considered to be offensive or taboo. That anyone in the field of psychology would even be comfortable publically espousing a non-scientific worldview like that means that psychologists are not being properly educated in the scientific method and should not be in the business of producing research since they do not have a mature understanding of what "scientific" implies.
