95% of seeds are patented, GMO or not, including those used in Organic Farming, the 'open source' / patents part is not something specific to GMOs (although the Organic industry works really hard to spread that myth).

Organic farming can also use pesticides (and most do), some of these pesticides are as bad or even worse than the ones used in modern agriculture.

Thanks for being so responsive, Chris. I think that the 'view notebook' [eye icon] is too out-of-the-way to notice.

IMO a design that might be less surprising would be for clicking on the name of the notebook to take you to the read-only view of the notebook. From there you could click on something that would promote it to an executable/editable view and login if necessary.

But the broken back button on login page is a real bummer.

EDIT either it was my imagination to begin with or it's already fixed because I tried it again and the back button appears to work correctly.

Where to get your hour of code
My bro-in-law became a real estate agent a couple years ago. Recently we were discussing Zillow, and he went into a tirade about how terrible it is. I just mentioned that it's a good tool to gauge the price trends of my neighborhood, but he began countering with canned, carefully scripted responses that sounded like indoctrination from his broker/employer. I just sighed, before the topic turned to how important it is to pay the full 6% when listing your house.

The real estate industry is one of the most protectionist industries out there, and any threat of disruption, no matter how minor, is met by an army of vitriol.
FYI, this has happened about 2 years ago. Bot networks have been used to mine bitcoins, and IT managers have gotten in trouble for using their company/school computer networks to mine bitcoins.

This sort of thing isn't unique to software. The same human behaviors that first-line tech support has to deal with on a daily basis are driving this; it's especially bad in F/OSS because it's often the case that the developers and the supporters are the same people.
>Wouldn't a better solution be to charge the customer for the roast and if they complain, you explain: "sorry, you didn't put it on the proper shelf, the technology considers that as a purchase",

It might be legal federally, and in red states, but this sounds like a class action lawsuit in a liberal state with strong consumer protection laws just waiting for hungry lawyers.

The results sound interesting, and I'd love to read them if you can find the references, but I'd caution against being too sure as well.

Any result which predicts that human intelligence cannot exist.. has to have an error somewhere. Perhaps the error here is in assuming that a learning algorithm able to fit any function in polynomial time is needed in the first place.

I'm also curious about this. To my knowledge I managed to learn a good amount of Japanese by literally studying every day for 1-2 hours, listen to a good amount of Japanese music.

You assume I was being paid to work on Babel. I was not.

I worked on the UI team for Cloudflare, where we didn't even use Babel until earlier this year shortly before I left. I worked on open source on the weekend.

The vast majority of open source maintainers are not paid in anyway whatsoever. Conferences pay me to fly places and stay in hotels because they make a profit off of me.

Even now as I am paid to do open source. I don't think a single person on my team would expect me to tolerate people yelling at me. I'm not a politician, I can and do ignore plenty of people. Most of the time negative people arent saying anything useful anyways.
Curious: What makes you believe this? What is the basis of this comment?

Ha!
I think that's something that hurt Ember.js early on. Their community was hyping each pre 1.0 RC / Beta but the public API was making breaking changes regularly.

Too many devs got burnt.
Sounds like that place would have lower prices since the costs of customers like that isn't spread around to considerate people, I think I would like to shop there.
I think this could work if cart or your app confirms your selection before checkout. Otherwise people would be too stressed out / unsure about discounted items to roll the dice.
> As someone who is invested in the long-term success of the JS ecosystem, it becomes a lot easier just to remove yourself from the discussion because a lot of the community is so negative about the (older versions) of the language and ecosystem, purely on ideology.

If a lot of people are so negative about it, is it worth even considering whether they might be correct? Is it not ideological to refuse to do so?
Not that I find it hard to believe, but since we don't have them around, is there any data showing (5)?

I think part of the problem is junior developers think they need to use these frameworks for every project, which results in frustration and running around in circles. They then blame the framework or developers because the framework wasn't really right for their use case or doesn't give them exactly what they want.

Maybe the community needs to do a better job at communicating best use cases for these frameworks.

Are you developing a Gmail type app with multiple devs? Okay, maybe an Angular type framework is a good option.

Are you developing a simple CRUD app? Probably not the best to use a heavy framework then. A framework in this case may actually slow you down.

Single page apps and frameworks are not needed for everything. Probably not even needed for most web apps that people are using them for.
As a physicist judging from the outside, I share some your feeling. Are there general laws governing "learning"? Theorems? Are there "deeper" things to learn as humans? The thing is people in the field don't need heavy intuition or math. In some ways that's good (if you just want a result to utilize) and in others, it's bad (if you are a curious person).

First impression is that it looks good.

Have you ever said something which you didn't know was true? What was your mindset then?

To be fair though, as a European who has lived in China and spent some time in NYC. I'm always very fearful of the police in the US. I've heard about all the horror stories and I know that as a foreigner I'm even less likely to be treated well. I'm much more scared of the US police than of the police in UK, France or Spain.

In China, I'm scared of the police too but I know that I'll get preferential treatment because I'm a foreigner so excesses are less likely.

That said, I agree with your points, especially with China becoming more and more autocratic since 2013...

Ok, but he's specifically calling out communities that reward negative behavior rather than calling it out. I mean, are you being serious right now? There's a difference between "boo hoo everyone's so mean :'((" and "hey, there are community issues that we should try to address", and that's pretty explicitly the point of the article.

The only thing that will survive from the Maven era is the directory structure. It's the default structure in SBT and many other built tools. It's a little verbose, but it does make sense and I've learned to embrace it.

Maven is terrible. Give SBT or Gradle and try and you'll see just how terrible Maven is. SBT still has its issues (OMG why is everything a macro!), but I still prefer it to trying to build anything in Maven.
Hi haberman,

I'm one of the authors on this paper. You're right that the most direct applications of this dataset are transcription and synthesis. One of the cool aspects of end-to-end learning models is that they discover a "representation" of data that can be useful when applied to other tasks. We speculate about some tasks like recommendation and composition on our website:

http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~thickstn/musicnet.html

We're also interested in music like jazz and pop, for which good scores are often unavailable. Classical music is nice for training models because we can use sheet music as labels to learn a representation. Many aspects of this representation, such as rhythm and harmony, may transfer to other musical genres. Learning about classical recordings could bootstrap learning for other kinds of musical audio.

So while you're right that it's probably easier to learn a model to complete Bach using symbolic sheet music, we feel that addressing complex tasks directly from raw audio is worthwhile!

Because I don't know how modern Lisps can do it (I believe there was hardware like lisp machines made specifically for Lisp that would deal or help with memory allocation/reuse as well as some code generation).

I honestly was curious if the OP had some insight that I did not. I realize re-reading the comment it sounds snide but I didn't want to assume the OP's knowledge.

Ask HN: Language with good SVG libraries?
I've had an idea recently that involves automated programmatic creation of simple geometric vector graphics. Mostly repeated composition of lines, arcs, and circles, with varying endpoint shapes. Learning a new programming language is not an obstacle - it'd be good to have the extra motivation, actually.

Can anyone recommend a language for which there are good libraries for this purpose (and such a library, of course)? A minor plus would be if it also has good libraries for making a web-app, but that's not high-priority since the actual image-generation can be separated from the web-app that delivers results without needing any conceptual changes, as long as I go with a thin client in that case.
It looks like you don't need to scan anything when exiting. So your phone could die once you're in the store and you'd still be able to check out.

I'm guessing the Amazon Go app generates a one-time-use QR code that gets scanned on entry and then security/tracking cameras follow you all over the store. If the cameras see you in front of an item when its RFID sensor detects it was picked up, they make an educated guess that you picked it up. Then they can re-scan all the RFIDs as you exit for extra confirmation.
I don't know why but I think the turn-styles that identify customers as they enter will help alleviate some of these concerns. Additionally I think if they distributed Amazon Go branded shopping bags in the store it would also help.

I've used the Apple Store feature to buy a charger and iPhone case in the past. I admit it did feel strange as I waltzed out the front door past the genius bar guys just holding an item in my hands. If I had a bag I could put the item into (I imagine I could've asked a worker for one) then I would probably just look like every customer who paid at the till.

This leads me to think that the reason I felt weird is because I was the only one walking out of the store (to my knowledge) that paid in this manner. If I know everyone is doing it, again my mind would probably be at ease.
Compelling Science Fiction has been consistently excellent since it started. I think I made a Patreon account just to support it. Highly recommended.

Breaking into startups – podcast to share with your non-tech friends
Big questions to me are -

a) What is the computational power required? (stuff figured out back in the 80s turned out to work well for deep learning, but it took another two decades until the power was there at an economical price.)

b) What kind of mistakes do human-like thinking machine make? Additionally, are those mistakes actually a fundamental piece of general intelligence?

Some of the core pieces to general intelligence may be solved soon, but it could take a long time for the economics to become compelling or even possible. Presumably you can collapse time by throwing more resources at an "AI", but humans, with their brains running more or less 24/7 take many years before they can start producing really valuable work. We have assumed you can preload an "AI" with concepts or just copy and paste, but this might magnifying weaknesses just as if every employee at Google was a copy of Sergey Brin.

I except we will start seeing things, very soon, that begins to look very much like general intelligence, but the hardware limits will be an issue.
This doesn't seem like the kind of store concept where 10c/product would be too expensive.
That's a great notebook! Thanks for sharing.
Huh...I had travelled around the UK/Ireland last year and I don't think I saw any of these. Maybe I was hitting the wrong stores, or people were using them and I didn't recognize them.
The people who will end up raising AI's will not want them to act like humans. You already see it in their current uses. They create them to maximize profit. So, in a way, their owners (corporations) have created them in their image.
The article I quoted claims 1% is the _gross_ margin, in which case my argument is valid. I now think that is incorrect, as other high-ranking Google results claim it is the _net_ margin.

Try to become a part of the solution not part of the problem. As an engineer, this is a mesmerizing and a very appreciative tech. Kudos. As a (selfless) neighbor, I can never be happy to see unemployed neighbors. Sure we can create these autonomous technologies, but we also should be active in policy-making for our cities e.g. if 10 jobs are being displaced then collectively what are we doing to create 10 more jobs.

Profits earned from Amazon Go are not going to get reinvested in cities. A small portion of it would be divided as payrolls among engineers and people who would manage these Go stores but a large chunk would go in deep pockets of Bezos' and Amazon investors'.

Maybe, but does it pass the test of "Would it make sense?". Ok sure Amazon could make a few bucks by selling the data to health insurance companies but does it make sense for Amazon to do that? Amazon customers find out, get mad and then stop buying stuff on Amazon. Health insurance companies know their customers buy junk food. There's tons of data about buying habits and population stats of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. Their premiums already incorporate all this. Knowing the buying habits of their customers on Amazon isn't going to be of much value to them.
Kelsey, I (and others) would kindly appreciate it if you'd stop calling anything in Kubernetes as it exists today a "secret" and writing new code to further encourage its use. People should be aware in no uncertain terms that the "secrets" store in etcd is totally unencrypted and insecure.

If you'd like to find a place to help, I'd suggest focusing your efforts on connecting Kubernetes to Hashicorp Vault, which is truly secure, and deprecating the old unencrypted etcd-backed implementation.
>These platforms have withstood the test of time and you don't hear about many problems resulting from third party developers bundling libraries.

If you run Windows, OS X, Android, or iOS it's 100% likely that you have several different versions of some C library that have known vulnerabilities in them. Think about things like proprietary games that aren't updated often, if ever, where things like libpng and stuff get bundled in. When the upstream libpng developers release a security fix, do the game developers release a new version of the game with that fix included? Almost certainly not. This is the problem with bundling. You are dependent on N upstreams for security updates to any given non-core library. It's a rampant problem, and it's a problem that GNU/Linux distributions address for the safety of their users.

>For example, when the "gotofail" bug was discovered in the OS X system crypto frameworks, Apple issued an OS update that ended the story right there.

Right, that is good. All of the applications were dynamically linked against the system's openssl, so the security update was easy. But only a few things are like that on these proprietary operating systems. GNU/Linux distributions, on the other hand, have this property for all software. It's absolutely crucial for user security.

Asking users to install these new Flatpak/Snappy/Docker things is asking them to accept a bunch of software known to be insecure. Running vulnerable software in a container doesn't make it much better. We need to develop systems that make it easier to run software that has all of the latest security patches. Tools like Flatpak are a bold step backwards.
