You're probably wrong.

First of all, Warren Buffett has recently petitioned the SEC to allow him to own more than 10% of WFC. If the SEC were to allow that, BRK's holding in WFC would have to be (basically) silent. No control over WFC management could be exerted.

WRT to Solomon, as a percentage, yes BRK owned more, but in absolute terms, WFC is much larger. It's like 20:1.

I dreamed of having a SGI after watching Jurassic Park as a child. I also remember my dad bringing me home a VHS of SIGGRAPH circa 1995 and dreaming about time on a SGI. Time to check Craigslist, I think. :)
These lists basically exist, though not conveniently in one place.

Just look at the required and elective courses at a few decent undergraduate programs for your field of interest, form a DAG from the list of prerequisites (which is sometimes conveniently shown as a flowchart by the program), and track down the required textbooks.

If your field of interest exists as a well-studied undergraduate major, then this list can be compiled in an hour or two.
The RS-25 remains one of the most impressive engineering feats to date, so I wouldn't worry about it being 'super old'.

Much of the complexity associated with the RS-25s is necessary complexity in such a high-efficiency, multi-paradigm (i.e. sea-level and exo-atmospheric) system. To be honest, I'm unaware of an engine that would be better suited.

Putting aside the improbability of the notion that we are about to make a breakthrough in writing precisely what we mean in code, virtually none of the difficulties that arise in law and governance are of the sort that can be resolved by formal logic. The law is primarily about human relationships and conflict resolution, not rules.
Cloud Foundry is opensource, so there's "lockin" in the sense that Rails or NodeJS or PostgreSQL have "lockin". Every commercial distribution is required to have a consistent base design.

In terms of quitting Cloud Foundry entirely, you have two ways out.

The first is that you used buildpacks to stage your apps. In that case you stop pushing sourcecode to CF and replace it with whatever build pipeline makes sense for the replacement platform.

The second is that you decided to push container images instead of sourcecode. In that case you push to the replacement platform instead.

That said, you'll need to recreate the other niceties: orchestration, routing, log collection, service injection and service brokers, self-healing infrastructure and a bunch of other bits and bobs.

Why do you think social stigma only apply to girls?
I don't think that's quite right. There is often a "standard" way write certain things. Then there's a bug exposed - that wording lost in a court case. Now people stop using that wording. They try different alternate wordings. Eventually, there's kind of a convergence on a new "standard" way to write it.

Two disclaimers. First, IANAL. Second, "standard" really means "a lot of people do it this way", not "this is recognized as the right way to do it".

The whole point of cloud and one of the main drivers for rapid adoption has been that it removes the need to invest and manage your own hardware, staff and capex.

Amazon, Google or others takes care of that unless regulations require you to be on-prem.

It never really had anything to do with the lack of software or management tools. Not to take away from Kubernertes but Vmware, Cisco, Microsoft and other enterprise vendors have always had this market sealed up with relatively sophisticated capabilities.

Things like Vcenter seem far ahead in terms of management, capabilities, feature set, policy and fine tuned for enteprise use. Just taking distributed storage as an example where options like VSan, Nutanix or ScaleIO do not really have any open source counterparts. But this is not surprising given the billions of dollars spent in enterprise.

> Modern law is supposed to be open, so that anyone can read it.

This is already not the case -- at least in a common law system like is practiced in most of the US (and other Anglo-Saxon countries). Even if a normal person can understand the legalese, they can't be expected to know about the history of court cases that have reinterpreted and redefined the laws in question in various ways.

Why else would it take so much training to become a lawyer?
Ask HN: Techy with a basic MVP, how do I find a partner?
Hi,

As I said in the title, I have a basic MVP for a product which I think is likely to be very valuable to many colleges and University. Ideally as a techy, I'd like someone with more of a business background to help with the sales, etc.

I'm also not sure whether I should be going for funding. My understanding is that you should really only look for funding if you need it, but what does that mean? I need money to survive and if I had funding I could dedicate more of my time to this and not need to worry about running out of money.

Does anyone know a good way to find someone to help me with the business side of things? Is there a good website I should know of, are meetups the way to go, or perhaps you know some better way? I'm from the UK by the way.

I have no personal contacts which would be of any help unfortunately.

Thanks.

Elon Musk's Wild Ride
Just to clarify after seeing several posts below. The magnetic and electric near fields fall off from 1/r^3 to 1/r^2, depending on component. The far fields fall off at 1/r, hence the familiar 1/r^2 for power (not amplitude).

http://www.rfcafe.com/references/electrical/near-far-field.h...

This thing operates in the near field, so it is pretty much useless past a distance of a coil diameter.
"Code" didn't originate to refer to computer code. See "code of conduct", etc.
Luckily things are interpreted by human judges who can use discretion and interpret things in a sort of "do what I mean" way, so "bugginess" isn't as big of an issue as it is in coding.
Nice work! I am delving into setting up services on Lambda at the moment, and it can get really fiddly and messy. I like the way server<framework scaffolds projects and makes deployment a one line option. Interested to see where this goes.
I didn't mean to accuse you of spamming, so I apologize if that was the implication.
My two cents: they are separate because there is no current algorithm that can take us from modeling (whether classical statistics or neural net) to intelligence. Applying our current specialized techniques to AI generation has not gotten us there. That is because the techniques are mostly model tweaking techniques. The models are generated and trained for each problem domain. A combined solution may be developed soon, but I doubt it.

There was a great article recently on HN that highlights the current problems:

http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/10/13224930/ai-deep-learning...

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12684417

Just because we may acquire the processing power estimated to be used in the brain (in operations per second) doesn't mean we know how to write the software to accomplish the task. It is very clear current algorithms won't cut it.

Also, I think we are a few orders of magnitude off on raw processing requirements because I think it is a bandwidth issue as much as an operations per second issue.

TL;DR - you could throw as much processing power and data as you want at any current deep NN or their derivatives and you wouldn't get general intelligence.

That said I don't think the winter will be as bad as before because, like OP says, specialized AI is useful.

Not sure if you're a native English speaker, but anyway this usage is not specific to tax. All bodies of law can be called a "code".

For example, the body of federal law in the U.S. is called the "United States Code". http://uscode.house.gov/
Recently just built and deployed an enterprise (on-prem) offering for my startup https://commando.io.

The single biggest problem by far was ripping/replacing 3rd party SaaS services that we use/pay for with native code. While building a SaaS it is wonderful to use 3rd parties to save time and complexity. Examples include Stripe (payments), Rollbar (error tracking), Intercom (support/engagement), Iron.io (queue and async tasks), Gauthify (two factor auth)... Howerver, when you go to on-prem often times the servers don't have a public interface, so your entire application has to work offline.

2nd tip. While it may seem like a good idea to create a separate branch in your repo for on-prem (i.e. enterprise branch), this is bad idea. It ends up being much better to just if/else in the master branch all over the place:

if(enterprise) {
// do something
}

If/else in the master branch is what GitHub Enterprise does (at least was told so).
I think they meant "since the introduction of Kubernetes" rather than "after Kubernetes' relevance."
I think when people say on-prem they mean a lot of different things but generally that doesn't include a crappy server room in your office building. They're probably thinking of a real data center.

This actually happened to me as well. I was released about one month prior to my shares vesting, but they didn't contest my unemployment. Still its a real bs thing to do. I wish I could say something publicly and let others know about the mess that place was but I decided against it. They also made me sign papers prior to getting my final check and vacation pay that said I wouldn't take any action against them.
One way around that would be to passthrough the entire USB controller.
Or, if you're going to make a scene publicly, at least let the lawyer advise you on it. Better to leave that in his or her set of things to threaten the company with. ie maybe you can negotiate a vesting agreement in exchange for a nondisparagement agreement.

Having been to a lawyer in really stressful circumstances, here's what you should do: Write down what happened, in chronological order. Be brutally honest about everything you did. Revise this a couple times. This way, you won't get emotional during the recounting and leave out crucial details. Differentiate claims and claims with proof. eg did your boss give you feedback? Written? ie was that a "good job" in the hallway or an excellent written annual review? Do you have a copy?

Then get a free consultation (they all do it) with a couple employment lawyers. Bring this paper, let them read it, and let them lay out your options. Bring any papers you've signed -- employment agreement, reviews, employee handbook, etc.

ps -- forward critical emails from your boss/cto to your personal account for safekeeping. Reviews, promotions, even negative feedback. Keep your own copy.

good luck.

I bullish on Zenefits, the 'scandal' seemed highly manufactured. So much ink spilled over 'The Macro'. Any member of HN would have likely done the same thing. The sales staff used very common software to avoid starring at a screen for a legally mandated 52 hours to avoid what is basically just layers of industry protectionism. It didn't pass the tests for them. The other things called out also seem like cheap shots like throwing parties for high preforming sales staff or not having a lot of backend automation which no startup has and which might not even be possible giving the partners they need to work with and the backward state of many of these protected industries.

Check your contract for acceleration clauses in case you've been fired without cause you might still have a chance.

Regardless of whether or not they are in this contract this is something that you should always insist on when signing up with a start-up.

Have your lawyer that you pay check your paperwork before signing to make sure it is fair, don't be pressured and don't take 'this is standard stuff' as a reason to sign it without review.

Yes, it will cost you some money but it may save you much more.

http://allendowney.blogspot.com/2014/02/correlation-is-evide...

Your comment is severely misguided in several ways.

1. Correlation does not prove causation, but it is evidence of a causal relationship.

2. Optimal decision theory doesn't require you to be 100% sure that evidence is causal. You can still use correlations to make good decisions. "Oh, it's not clear that eating paint causes me to be sick; it could be that my body getting sick causes me to eat paint." Doesn't matter! You still shouldn't eat paint.

3. History proved the fleeing middle class correct. Inner-city urban districts did go to shit. They were right, you would have been wrong.

4. Consider the four possibilities in the article I linked. One of them is vastly more likely than the others.

* Poor inner-city immigration => increased crime (reasonable, with strong evidence)

* Increased crime => poor inner-city immigration (violates temporal causality)

* Secondary factor => (increased crime) ∧ (poor inner-city immigration) (reasonable, but we haven't seen strong evidence for this)

* No causal relationship (unlikely in the face of all the data)

You can't ask people to risk life and limb on the extremely remote chance that the world happens to work the way you wish it did, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Specialized AI is all about X,Y pairs. Given X, predict Y. There are other problems it's good at too, like given X, choose a Y to optimize Z, but at it's core it's largely the same. On the fringes, you have stuff about exploration, which is AWESOME, but still pretty niche. At least 99% of the "AI" you hear about is of the X,Y variety. More to your point, if we can make generalized AI from "given X, predict Y," then nobody's figured out how to do it, and nobody has super promising research tracks to get it.

I think a lot of the early AI research (not my specialty) had the idea that if we made a bunch of systems that were good at their own piece of the puzzle, then we could just tack them together and get real intelligence. It just didn't turn out that way. Something I'm more familiar with is graphical models, and while they in principal could do amazing things when you stick little expert components together, we've proved the complexity grows pretty badly in the most general cases that would have been really amazing. I'd bet similar things happened in other "let's put a bunch of specialized systems together" tracks. Maybe we can do it, but not the naive way that would have been great.

Then you can get interesting and philosophical about it, where you might even say that emulating intelligence and intelligence are different. Like the chinese room thing, or even a character in a story vs a physical person. I'd rather not weigh in on that right now, but there are good interesting arguments both ways.

I have often wandered if there is some sort universe limitation to general AI singularities particularly if the current universe is actually a simulation. An intellectual singularity or extremely rampant aggressive intelligence might be an errant state that gets dealt with (aka universe circuit breaker / watchdog). This might also explain the Fermi Paradox.

The other idea I have doted on is that perhaps universes are the manufacturing tool to create super AI by some parent universe.

> Taking the pessimistic view on science, what if we don't get there?

I have no interest in living forever but I really really wish I could be told what will happen or what did happen or what all is. I'm sure specialized intelligence will continue to improve but my gut says general intelligence is probably not in our lifetime (or is limited or capped from above mentioned pop-culture-probably-wrong reasons).
Julia might be intended for a scientific audience, but there doesn't appear to be any reason why it couldn't address server-side needs. It just needs the right library (like Python did).
