I think that the downvoting is more likely tied to your outlandishly wild claims as fact of both cricket usage in Soylent and that the government will force consumption of it. Neither of those claims are at all verifiable or likely within any basis of reality.

So why did you choose to disable running as root altogether rather than dropping privileges when building?
Yes, I didn't intend my comment to mean there should be no ceasefires (or that there always should be ceasefires as a tool for peace for that matter). I think the article has the seed of some interesting data for analysis, but isn't at a strong conclusion yet. What might really be interesting to get to is if one can see in data if certain pre-conditions to ceasefires are associated with an increased likelihood to get to longer term peace - or just that they're not as employed as time to regroup-for-the-next-attack - though it's hard to see in data if those waves would have occurred anyway (there are flareups and lulls in conflict even without cease fires). On the flip side, in a very grim way, could more attacks, more intensely bring the conflict to an end more quickly?
To the various critics: A) As someone noted, this is a small town. B) It has a high unemployment rate and it is very remote, so there is both lack of capital and high up front costs. C) It is a tribal culture whose traditional diet is hunter-gatherer based local foods. D) It is so expensive to import produce that this project is already competitive with existing produce prices. The value lies in the fact that it is fresher. They hope to get costs down, this is why they are talking about wind power.

I will add that the article only briefly touches on the lack of roads in Alaska. Alaska has something like six times as many pilots per capita as any other state. Due to the extreme weather during the winter, flying is a common form of travel. This adds to the logistical challenges -- and expense -- involved in trying to import new technologies of this scale.

> That means that each time it is gathered by an attacker it gets easier to compromise.

I don't think this is relevant. You still need to inverse the key-derivation function. If you know a hundred passwords, this will be technically easier than if you know one password, but it should not matter if the security margin of the key-derivation function is high enough.
I would say yes, historically and presently in various "unowned" regions like international waters and more importantly in "cross-border" exchanges where parties to a trade generate some system of property trust due to the fact that recourse to the government of the "other" country is impossible. (Here we get into the thorny question of whether self-defending individuals/organizations are themselves governments, and so forth.)

But that's not the main point that most economists are making (except the rather unusual anarcho-capitalists like Rothbard and the like.) The point is that there are property rights that are more or less in accordance with certain aspects of reality, and attempts by governments (or indeed private actors) to enforce property rights at odds with physical and informational reality is going to cause serious problems. For example, if a system of property rights says that nobody can own title to exclusive use of land or water, then I've set up a system where the inevitability of needing to physically occupy some land or water conflicts with the impossibility of acquiring stable property in it. Conversely, if a system of property rights says that the first person to speak and claim a phrase owns all rights to it forever (like some super-copyright), then it's just made normal language extremely cumbersome. The primary point of economists in the whole Menger-Hayek-Mises-Hazlitt meta-tradition is that while a government of some kind is probably inevitable, it should recognize that appropriate property rights depend on certain properties of the things themselves, and not arbitrarily defined by the government. (This is a sort of compact way of saying "property rights need to be defined differently between private goods, public goods, club goods and pool goods, due to their actual physical differences.)
The thing is, many compilers just assume that undefined behaviour won't happen, without defining any particular behaviour. And testing for something like pointer alignment on architectures that silently allow pointer misalignment is really, really expensive.

That said, you can use -fsanitize=undefined to verify correctness of a program (as far specification is concerned). Just be prepared for it being a bit slow.

You can also defensively add a quick test to your program's startup code and unit tests. Startup will take a tiny bit longer, but those porting your code will be thankful if they hit the problem, double so if you manage to emit a useful diagnostic.
Why would you worry about contamination with glyphosate (the presumed herbicide with Roundup Ready seeds)? The toxicity and carcinogenic characteristics of glyphosate are so weak that a large number of natural foods humans consume in vast quantities have significantly higher toxicity and carcinogenic potential.

Worrying about glyphosate residue in food is completely disproportionate to the risk. It is like people in rural Iowa worried about being killed by terrorists.

Numbers are great! I did overestimate support for my opinion (I live in the Silicon Valley bubble), but the poll numbers show there would not be enough affirmative votes to outlaw prostitution if it were voted on today and were not already the default.

I think polls usually undervalue how motivated people are to act politically on their stance. In the presidential race, this is related to how "energized" people are to go to the voting booth.

Either way, I think Americans have tended to outlaw borderline issues, but I suspect in the coming 1-2 decades, there will be a significant pushback against over-criminialization of non-violent crimes. There is a book called "Three Felonies a Day" which explains how ridiculous our laws have already become.

"About Me"
https://www.zdziarski.com/blog/?page_id=202

"I wasn’t originally going to dig into some of the ugly details about San Bernardino, but with FBI Director Comey’s latest actions to publicly embarrass Hillary Clinton (who I don’t support), or to possibly tip the election towards Donald Trump (who I also don’t support), I am getting to learn more about James Comey and from what I’ve learned, a pattern of pushing a private agenda seems to be emerging. This is relevant because the San Bernardino iPhone matter saw numerous accusations of pushing a private agenda by Comey as well; that it was a power grab for the bureau and an attempt to get a court precedent to force private business to backdoor encryption, while lying to the public and possibly misleading the courts under the guise of terrorism...

"The reason I bring this up is that Comey’s public facing story was that “anyone with an idea” can come to the FBI and help them out, and it made the FBI sound reasonable to the general public. This clearly wasn’t true, and what was going on behind the scenes was quite the opposite. I’m not some crazy anon either approaching FBI with some crack pot solution; I had a working relationship with them, and had assisted them many times before, usually pro-bono (as I did with many other agencies). The people knew me and had a mutual professional level of trust you would expect in cases such as this.

"Comey’s public story about exhausting all due diligence with the SB iPhone was entirely false, and when he told both the courts and Congress this, he made a false statement. The FBI pushed hard over the next month for a court precedent, in spite of turning away help. When it became evident that the FBI wasn’t going to win this case in court, suddenly a solution from out of nowhere manifested. We paid a million dollars of our tax money for an unlock that FBI could have done for about $100 with the right equipment."

There was a similar comment by the same author on the top-voted comment on the last Homebrew release issue too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12548454
That's not the point I was tying to make.

My point was that he created the formula through trial and error (I distinctly remember he said he'd put whatever amount he read online was correct and then if he felt sick he'd adjust the amount down; but "getting sick" is a rather extreme indicator). That is, at least prior to investment money (which I hope was at least partially spent on testing the stuff for safety), his safety claims were based off "I didn't get sick in the short term" without any real data on the medium to long term effects.

I mentioned small amounts of poison only as an anecdote that his trial and error testing could potentially have been harming him without him knowing it. That is, it's simply an anecdote to demonstrate that the "safety tests" he had done up until that blog post were themselves anecdotal at best.

I haven't been following soylent since and assume (and hope) that since he took on funding that he then followed up with proper scientific procedures. But people ate his stuff based on that initial blog post, so...
Author of DeepRhyme here. With respect to the authors of DeepBeat, what they are doing is less ambitious. They are taking full existing lines out of a rap lyric corpus and assembling it into a verse that rhymes and makes sense. There is a paper that is very similar to what I did : http://www.emnlp2015.org/proceedings/EMNLP/pdf/EMNLP221.pdf . It's hard to compare our models, because they don't give much output text. They trained on 1% of the data I did, so I'm a bit dubious how successful they could have been.

I am writing a followup post where I'm going to talk about previous work, I hope no one takes any disrespect.

> It would be interesting if they offered "voice packages" either online or offline so you could just pass text through it and the output would be a Morgan Freeman narration.

On that note, should Morgan Freeman be allowed to copyright the sound of his own voice?

My immediate inclination is No, you shouldn't be allowed to copyright a voice timbre because it opens up so many weird possibilities for making even more of a mess of copyright law. For example, what happens if two people happen to have the same voice, or at least, close enough so that Adobe's software can't distinguish them.

But there is a reasonable case to be made that Morgan Freeman's voice belongs to him. If some company profits from having a reproduction of Morgan Freeman's voice in one of their products, maybe they should pay him.

At the risk of wasting time arguing against mysticism, there is no evidence for either of these statements. (Well, the latter is technically true, but not in the way I think you mean. There's no particular reason an NN couldn't do anything a brain does.) The only thing we can say with confidence is that the OP's model focuses more on rhyme than content, which is true for a lot of popular rappers as well.

> Obesity rates have tripled in 3 decades, I don't think we can blame Soylent for that, but clearly something major has gone terribly wrong with the industrial food system

We can blame the paint industry and the cotton industry for the food industry's mistakes. Paints & stains used to be made from "drying oils" (soybean oil, linseed oil, etc), now they're made from petroleum. Cotton production creates a lot of cotton seed as a waste product.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drying_oil

Instead of going quietly into the night, the seed oil industry now sells "vegetable oil" for human consumption. Crisco was made from hydrogenated cottonseed oil until it was reformulated in 2007. IMHO, Crisco is still not appropriate for human consumption.

I personally think this would be really cool, and would facilitate entirely new modes of interaction with people in this field e.g. designers and sales workers. Imagine being able to connect with a clothing designer remotely, and have them model you in a virtual outfit before a mirror, with an practically infinite vocabulary of color, texture, and pattern at their disposal. A 2-way conversation with a design professional with a vastly accelerated prototype-feedback loop.

At least, that's how the marketing is hitting me.
I think that is a very salient observation. To reach its full potential the unit needs both pixel occlusion (which is knocking out the light your eye would normally see with light you generation) and pixel registration (which is keeping the pixel in the same place in 3-space outside of you). All of the demos focus on occlusion (the creatures seem like they really are in your room) and skate over registration accuracy. If you were going to tall someone how to fix something, registration accuracy would be critical (for example)

Also people are very "forgiving" if things seem to wiggle a bit in the world but looking at the Google Tango device this weekend I got to see some of the challenges of keeping registration of the pixels high. Its frustrating if your ruler end point is "jiggling" a bit close to the spot where you want to start a measurement.

So without good registration you get eye fatigue like you used to get with pilots flying long range on bumpy flights constantly looking at instruments. Only in the case of pilots they can look outside to the clouds (which don't "bump" in space).
Oh! Thanks.
