Yup.

You HN lads are smart, you're pretty quick to figure out all the 'next problems' that one would encounter.

Yes - getting the right training data can be surprisingly hard.

Did you know how hard it is to get a 'very official' large set of words for a given language? It's hard!

There is no entity that really decides what language is - so you have to kind of determine it from what people write. But that takes a lot of writing, and frankly, you're making assumptions all the time there.

France has a body that's 'in charge' of their language so to speak, and most Western nations have entities that are 'roughly' that. Beyond the West, Japan and China ... it's a gong show.

'Filipino' is barely a language - even though many millions of people speak it, it varies in dialect from village to village and they barely resemble each other.

I think that someone will eventually come up with a 'probabilistic' OS because in the real world, nothing is certain ... some things are just more likely than others!
It's the same reason you don't keep a loaded gun in your night-stand when you've got a 5 year old. Immense power to defend your home is a good thing... but that's probably not what's going to happen.

We're having a close call. We just caught the child peeking into the drawer and got a quick education on why certain powers should be kept safely locked up by the constitution. Even if it makes them a bit harder to use when we "really need them".
Ah, Thanks. I didn't read carefully enough.

To comment more on the article: In my opinion, Unity wastes a ridiculous amount of screenspace showing that fancy iconbar.
That just proves my point since most people commiting crime and getting away with it via "number of mechanisms", usually do the crime again, since there is no punishment, or so they think.

The problem is that if government is not punished, then why on earth to think they will stop committing crime?
You can't possibly believe that. The only thing they listen to is money. We're just serfs.

A knowledgebase system is essential in all companies regardless of the feedback some users might give (usually those who are bored to search for answers), since all knowledge should be stored centrally. If a key person leaves, all his/her knowledge will be there!
You're skirting around his point. American liberals don't just believe in human rights for everyone in the country--they have embraced using a strong centralized government and its court system as the way of enforcing those rights. But the side-effect of that is taking away autonomy and independence from the states, which leaves states less capable of opposing centralized surveillance.

Liberals may not want surveillance, but they helped create the power structure that enables surveillance as a byproduct of pursing end goals they do want. I think the benefits of that approach far outweigh the drawbacks, but it's important to acknowledge the drawbacks. If you give the central government more power so it can achieve X, you have to be aware of the possibility that it will use its power to also do Y.
I am still amazed sometimes how naturally Lisp handles data and code. You can just represent html with css and all as a nested data structure and use it when you need it. It does look or feel weird to have that next to your business logic.

>I should clarify: the deck is massively stacked against a great number of people. White males are massively represented in that number. However, for many situations women and minorities face additional discrimination which you are, for some reason, unwilling or unable to acknowledge.

Again you are reducing the experience of millions of people into your little clear-cut categories and trying to speak for them. Not only are you trying to speak for white males but you apparently also speak for women and minorities. Your side's identity politicking is fallacious to its core and cost you the election. But don't stop now, we have another election in 2 years.
Is this your first election? What you are experiencing is called OMG!-The-candidate-I-voted-for-did-not-win-so-the-world must-be-ending Syndrome. Happens every election. Remember Bush? "OMG! That idiot will be the end of America as we know it!" Well, we're still here, America is still here.

Those interested in language in sci-fi could do worse than to read The Sparrow (Mary Doria Russell), about a Jesuit exploration mission to a foreign world discovered after a song signal captured by SETI efforts. The protagonist is a Jesuit linguist, and the story features a first encounter that I found quite moving.
"I'm only now realizing my interest in some things I could have spent more time learning when younger"

Same here.

When you're young, nothing has consequence - so I don't think you can put together A + B = some outcome that matters!

Also - I think that every time you learn something, you get a new 'lego block' that you can use. When you're young, you don't have many blocks, so you can't do much.

But as you get older, you have so many blocks (+ money to spend) and you can do so many more things ... it's kind of incentive to learn.

The ability to see a larger project through I think would be a great thing to learn.

I wish that in school - some projects were worked on that took months to complete, and that the kids had to be involved in the planning. I think that would start teaching kids about 'time horizons' and how complex things get done over time.

I understand stochastic gradient descent just fine, but you need to reverse your thought here. Just because something is trivial for us doesn't mean it lacks inherent difficulty. After all, if it was inherently trivial, pretty much everyone would be able to actually derive and implement the algorithm, which the vast majority of the human race can't.

True transparency comes at a huge cost too though. Someone like google probably makes hundreds of changes to their algorithms every single day from thousands of engineers. Thats a change every few minutes. Who could even keep up with reading and understanding that much documentation about changes to the algorithm, let alone the base way it works in the first place?

And those are just the manual changes. There are fully automated systems that crawl the web and use information from millions of web pages simply to rank your website. Any of those web pages changes, and your ranking might change with it. For true transparency, you should be able to verify that you got the right ranking as documented, yet merely calculating that is going to require you to get a copy of every other webpage in the world. No simple task.

Not really. I wish I did though.

Here's one example: There's been a lot of talk about how "Trumps supporters are slightly more wealthy than Clintons" (as in, the absolute poor voted more towards Clinton, but the lower-middle-class voted more towards Trump). But I'm not so sure about that.

I know in my town if you are "absolute poor" (below 60% avg income -- roughly $12/hr or less) you are allowed to live downtown in luxury apartments at little cost, because a combination of various government subsidies exist. Apartments that would cost HN readers $1,800/month to rent, cost these folks only $400-$800 (depending on income, family size, etc). These residents also get all the benefits of a gentrifying urban neighborhood without paying for it (crime is slowly dropping, public transit is slowly improving, what few nicer jobs that are being created, usually appear right there, etc).

However, if you "make too much money" (read, $12-16/hr, still poor, but not "absolute poor") you don't qualify for any of this. These folks must pay $700-$1,000/month for run down apartments in the far edges of town. These apartments have effectively zero public transit (everyone here must also own a car) and are not near any "nicer" jobs, but are usually sandwiched between buildings like WalMart and Home Depot.
- - -

If you are sitting in NYC, and do a quick map of "census reported income by zip code across voters by zip code", you'd probably conclude something like "In Michigan, the poorest people voted Clinton, and the middle class voted Trump".

But in terms of real-world wealth here, the "absolute poor" (by income) are actually wealthier (in terms of opportunity, access, quality of life, diversity of neighbors, and amount of paycheck left over they can spend/save) than those who are "lower-middle class" (have slightly higher income) but lack all of that.

The real world is a bit more complicated than just plugging census data into maps -- it's tempting and convenient, but wildly inaccurate to make broad assumptions using that methodology. I don't know how to get all of these factors into easily-usable statistics, but I am seeing these sort of discrepancies happening in person somewhat often.
> made millions of dollars of revenue... I'm not 100% sure you are well situated to lecture me about the 'real world' because you wrote an academic paper.

So, we're going to discuss millions of dollars instead, sigh... This way Trump should be one of the best programmers in the universe, I guess.

> Typically it will be inherently cheaper than 15-30 cycles - but lost opportunities for optimization may take you to numbers that are insanely higher than that.

And still, even from your own rant it follows that in vast majority of cases the estimate of 15-30 cycles will be well within "order of magnitude" (TBH, I didn't see millions myself, but it should be a really strange corner case).

> If you say 15-30 is the magic number you are creating folklore... We are burdened by folkloric stuff... that result in considerably worse designs.

And not having any such "folklore" results in even worse designs :-( (actually - MUCH worse ones). Using list instead of vector can easily give you 100x penalty for absolutely zero reason (actually, up to 780x was experimentally observed - and that's without swapping). Off-loading 100-cycle chunks (with a thread context switch back after calculating these 100 cycles) to a different thread will never work at least on a x64 (though I remember meeting some folks from Intel - I think they were representing an OpenMP team - who were seriously preaching otherwise, based on utterly silly "how many cores we managed to utilise" metric without realising that the whole thing became _slower_ after they parallelised it ;-( ). And so on and so forth.

Sure, the numbers are very rough. But trying to say that "hey, it is not precise so let's not even try to estimate" - is even worse than that.

Good suggestion on the business use cases. I want the exercises to be realistic documents that you build up over the course of the lesson, not just interactive quiz questions.

Exactly. People forgot that election smear is just that: smear. Both opponents will try their hardest to make the their opponent look bad.

People need to realize that their image of Trump is not the real Trump, it is only the smeared version of Trump.

This whitepaper is from 2014 and is still just as true. The great garbage patch is also a myth, perpetuated by a fake photo that usually runs with the story in the news.

They banned plastic bags in Chicago. The thin ones. All that happened was now every store gives you a free "reusable bag." These new bags are the same bags as before, but thicker. They are not reusable bags. So in this town it's very clear the regulation was a net negative on reducing plastic consumption.

B2k16 hackathon:Antoine Jacoutot on Gnome's path forward, various ports progress
My cousin is an Uber driver and comes from a more troubled past you could say. He drives a more basic type of car and tells me how it isn't so great to drive for Uber anymore and how he wants to quit but is having a hard time finding something better. I had similar drivers tell me the same in the more basic type of car rides I had. When I took the more luxury experiences, the drivers seemed much happier and satisfied with Uber, even saying things like "I love my job." which I never got from the base-model car drivers.

So this would lead me to guess the lower model drivers are being marginalized in order to get passengers an easier ramp (cheaper) into the Uber lifestyle. It is addicting once you start doing it, not having to park or worry about your car is pretty awesome, freeing actually as you can abstract transportation like a commodity. The company I consult for bought into Uber pretty deeply and gives some employees accounts to use whenever they need to for perks so Uber has deeply rooted into Business as well as something you should just do. But I do think the reason for this popularity has a lot to do with taking advantage of drivers' economic situation at the base-level on a thin razor line of it being just enough to be worth it to them. That's business I guess and I'm sure the line will bump up and down in response to the quality of the base-line drivers' service to keep profits strong.
Its much more serious then partisanship. There is no real civilizational Ethose in America at this point.

hmmm... looks interesting. I've struggled with quirks of frameworks implementing Material UI in React - I'm guessing mainly because the frameworks don't have a large company supported team. Will try this out.
The name may mean "superior" but being an adult means recognizing that something named "superior" not necessarily is. By trying to rename it you implicitly admit your failure at that - so that the only way for you to not think about something as "superior" is not to use name that means "superior". I don't think it's an effective strategy in persuading somebody it's not actually superior. Most reasonable people would still see the difference between name and actual qualities.
I am thinking it can help people that don't have a background in computer science but are tasked to analyze data (for example, a marketing manager for a company). Spreadsheet have a lower entry point (and a lower ceiling) than a regular statistical analysis suite.

Also, using a spreadsheet has a visual component that you lose with R/python that can be off-putting if you are not comfortable with visualizing what certain lines of coding do.
> You can copyright facts that have been 'fixed in a tangible medium of expression' as long as there's some minimal element of creativity.

Oh hey, that's what I said In my first sentence! see next for tangible which I assumed was so trivially obvious.

"You can copyright a particular arrangement of facts ... where that arrangement required creative thought"

tangible like, published on website, recorded (think don't have any cameras at top level chess tournaments do you?), or just written down on piece of paper Or do you also imagine no one organizing chess tournament doesn't do that either?

How can you be so biased and unimaginative? Are you just being disingenuous to win internet argument?

If I hadn't given away my copyright to it (this sights EULA) I could prevent you (via copyright) from taking the facts (words) of this sentence and presenting them in some other way (public performance, painting of them etc). If you took the facts (words) and rearranged them then no. But a specific sequence of chess moves, not a rearrangement of them is what we are discussing.

Same as the particular sequence of notes or chess moves might be made of facts the sequence itself is copyrightable.

If I transliterated musical notation into one that used chess moves, do you imagine I'd get away with publishing sheet music?

What magical property do you image chess moves have that musical notes don't?
This exactly. I did robotics in the late 90's and it's interesting to see how many fundamental problems still remain unsolved. And the trajectory of tech advancement is positive for sure, but not _nearly_ as fast as popsci and marketing articles suggest.
I am no fan of Peter Thiel, but Peter Thiel did not scoop to this level of low-quality trolling.

Going forward, we need to try to get along with Trump supporters -- the portion that isn't deplorable. Supporters like your general joe shmo whose main grievance is being left behind in the new economy, who is unable for whatever reason to catch up.

We do not need to make an effort to reconcile with the racists and /b/ crowd who constantly parrot misogynistic and racist things. I'm no fan of Thiel but it seems that he's aware what kind of platform he is standing on -- when he gave the big speech he said nothing offensive per se, he's not preaching hate like this guy is.

This Torbe guy is clearly needlessly inflammatory and confrontational, he is not the kind of guy that makes a community go forward and advance. YC is so much better off without him.

What's happened has happened, we really need to start thinking about the future. My big wish is that Thiel can do some good, like: bring nuance to the Trump crowd. He should condemn the hateful part of Trump supporters like this guy. sama or pg, if you're out there: can you please tell him to do this? Thiel will win me over if he clearly and openly condemns the racist and misogynistic part of his party.
Right. Because only 20 year old software developers relocate for work.

Government can solve this like it solved abortion rights, gay marriage, education, oppression of people by dictators, slavery, prohibition, illegal drugs, ... Violence, the tool that is the government, cannot change the minds of the people. And for environmental issues, it is very easy to undermine it if many are determined to do so.

All of those government fueled solutions can sometimes make it better for people in the short-term, but they fail to convince in the long run. The South is still pissed off about the civil war 150 years later. If slavery had died off from persuasion instead of at the end of the gun, generations of blacks might have had a better time of it. Post-civil war could have also worked out if the government had not turned its back, but that is exactly the problem. Those who care generally get their way.

That is why one has to convince people of the way and then government can clean up the rest.

Convince 80% then government can handle the other 20%. What does not work is convincing 20% and pretending government can handle the other 80%.

Government has a role, but it truly is the will of the people first. Do your part, spread the word, make it the norm, and then government can handle the outliers.

With illegal drugs, many were against drugs back in the day, but the culture turned. The government reacted with its all-out war on drugs and yet it continues to fail while doing massive damage.
Those things existed in 1997. What the article predicts is "the fact that you could go to prison for many years for letting someone else read your books" which is every bit as hyperbolic and unrealised as Ray Bradbury's book-burning "fireman", and that hardware wouldn't run free operating systems because free operating systems were illegal. These predictions are not in any sense "100% correct".
