> What’s more, marketable discoveries will be group affairs, with collaborative licensing deals -- no matter who led the research.

I've been talking to a colleague this week, who casually observed to me that I will be dinged in my annual reviews if I'm not perceived to be "a team player". People don't understand that only the most trivial jobs are done "collaboratively". When you're digging a ditch, you need a team. When you're making an intellectual effort, you need to encourage individual effort or you'll just get a herd of researchers rehashing known results. That's the major problem with "team science", and Parker is doubling down on this.

A video or whatever may be copyrighted, but it's not really possible to protect a "trick". You can patent a process, but of course this reveals it to the public.

Most of the described contents of the tracker are commercially released products. That's really not "stealing tricks" in any way.
It was an honest question, not snark (passive aggressiveness is not my style).

The introduction is kind of hidden on the page, and clarifies the meaning of "model" in this context. Otherwise, GP is correct that "model" is often used to mean a supervised model, and that people generally call it "supervised learning", not "model-based learning".
For those who use OneTab I can highly recommend setting a keyboard shortcut for 1) seeing your OneTab list (although that can also be a bookmark), and more importantly, 2) sending the current tab to OneTab.

I had to rediscover how to do this, or OneTab changed in its behavior. You have to go to your extensions screen (Chrome), scroll way to the bottom, and set your shortcuts for extensions there.

Just FYI, as setting extension shortcuts in general wasn't intuitive to me.

>> Proofs never actually cover absolutely every possible case and we also can have as reliable software without the hard math whatsoever.

This is ridiculous. If not being able to prove everything doesn't help, we should get rid of type systems altogether. Programmers are so complacent and ignorant to what their compilers provide them out of the box, they forget how many brilliant people, proofs, and countless hours it took to create those features.

>> But going into psychology and thinking about making things easy for humans goes against what is generally accepted in CS research.

Well, no. Just because you don't understand or care to learn how much pain and work it took to get rid of seemingly arbitrary restrictions of type systems doesn't mean that it is not considered CS research. You think Rust's region types that literally prevent you from leaking memory without garbage collection came out of a hackathon? Java's generics are a usability improvement, isn't it? Do you have any idea about who designed that? Don't even get me started on any of the features in pure languages.

And even if you were so blind to reject all of these as improvements, psychology and usability of programming languages is an actual CS research field with its dedicated conferences. Here's a master's course [0] from University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory.

32 or 64bit GCC?

I was referring to Struct Padding[0].

Assuming a 32bit GCC, then the first would be padded with 24 bytes, the second with 16 bytes.

This padding doesn't show up under size, but does affect speed in small ways, and available memory (yay for dealing with memory constrained systems!).

Ask HN: If bitcoin were cracking bcrypt, what cost factor would you use?
Since the best example of pooled resource to crack hashes is the bitcoin network, currently churning through 2.14 ExaHashes/s.

Rewiring all the keys seems a bit overkill to me. ADB, just like USB, uses 5V, is fairly well-documented (https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/technotes/hw/hw_0...), and "A common implementation platform for the protocol is a simple microcontroller: a 2-MHz Motorola 68HC11 has been used with success, although any number of microcontrollers would do a more than adequate job."

Wouldn't it be easier to write a ADB-to-USB converter for the particular hardware, and put that between the USB cable and the keyboard?
Table prefixes? Running more than one instance of an application in a single database. You'll find it's supported in most php apps and frameworks. Wordpress, Drupal, Laravel, Magento, etc.

As rm999 points out, this book is vastly more useful than limiting distinctions such as supervised/unsupervised learning (what happens in brains is learning while predicting, which is not completely well captured by that delineation, nor even fully by reinforcement learning).

This book will provide a set of skills which will age far better than if it had been specific to some machine learning framework or ideas. It's one of the best I've seen on reasoning probabilistically, bayesian networks, graphical models and probabilistic programming generally. It also teaches the core of the involved algorithms. These skills will be important going forward as we seek to implement ever more brain like systems (and better). The knowledge will also carry over to gaussian processes (which are a subset really) and the more future proof generative deep learning ideas.

It also teaches how to reason about your problem and diagnose machine learning systems. Whether you're designing features, trying to figure out how to make a research paper work in real life, or are one of the rare people capable of coming up with deep learning architectures, what the book teaches will be indispensable to you.

Where Unfair Voting Practices Begin

My take from the introduction is that the books is going to mostly be about probabilistic graphical models (PGMs).

I look forward to reading this book when finished and hope they find success with this presentation of the core ideas. As a practitioner I see a fair amount of "I have a hammer; now I just need this problem to be a nail" type thinking with regard to using off-the-shelf techniques.

In the intro to this book the authors have an example with Kalman filters. A similar example is how Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is treated by different communities. In a certain chunk of the CS-dominated topic-modeling literature and in the data science blogosphere LDA is this recieved atomic technique; a black-box tool for modeling documents. In the Stan manual, it is one fairly boring example of a mixture model, only worth talking about explicitly because so many people ask about it.

While Clausewitz and Situationism might be disconnected, Debord himself often called on Clausewitz.

Here Clausewitz is mentioned in the opening paragraph of Debord's autobiography 'Panegyric':

http://debordiana.chez.com/english/panegyric.htm

and:

"The world of war presents at least the advantage of not leaving room for the silly chapter of optimism".
"In order to develop this further we might consider a popular critical image of Stoicism: a Stoic is someone who is powerless in the real world and so pretends that his or her happiness is something completely internal and within their own control. Got no money? Easy, just say that money is unnecessary for a good life and the problem is solved. According to a long line of modern critics of Stoicism from Hegel onwards, the Stoic is someone who lies themselves out of reality in order to feel happy in otherwise unpleasant circumstances. It is an example of what Nietzsche called a ‘slave morality’, ultimately grounded in powerlessness and an inability to face up to some hard truths about life."

1. Well, Stoicism and its nigh identical twin Epicureanism are a response to the fading of classical Greece post Alexander and in the face of the rise of Rome. The idea that they are powerless and "slave" philosophies is kinda true.

2. The rest of the article does not dispute the first sentence; we all really are powerless in the face of death, etc., etc. The issue the article has is with the word "pretends".
Medical science will make great progress when it's able to to challenge some of its basic assumptions.

No single person did more damage to the progress of Medical Science than Ancel Keys [1]. Dr. Keys hypothesized that heart disease was caused by the consumption of saturated fats, and recommended that people avoid the consumption of animal fat, in favor of deodorized polyunsaturated vegetable oil.

We now know that partially-hydrogenated oils (such as were used in Crisco, before it was reformulated in the early 2000's) are the real villains. But the grocery store shelves are still lined with 'healthy' Safflower, Soybean, Corn, and Cottonseed oils.

The drug industry has done a lot of damage too. For example, Doctors have spent decades suppressing cholesterol levels, instead of trying to figure out the meaning of high cholesterol levels. Dissidents against the cholesterol hypothesis have been gaining traction in recent years, even among the professional class.

You have that backwards. Only the most trivial research is done by a single person. Sure, at an individual level competence is important, but having 50 people all doing their own things is not useful.

> > you wanted to show the author wrong

> No, absolutely not. I would like nothing better than for the author to be right

I think we are basically done here, but I just want to point out this rhetorical trick.

You demonstrate motivated reasoning pretty clearly throughout this thread, which is why I called out that you started with your conclusion and then looked for facts and arguments to fit (debate-team style). When I point that out here, you dodge with "I would like nothing better than for the author to be right", which neatly deflects the point.

My criticism is not that you would prefer the author is wrong, but that you clearly started from a conclusion that he is wrong. That is why it didn't really matter to you what particular evidence you had, you just went with it. So pointing out that you would prefer if the author was right (misrepresentation aside) sounds like you are addressing my criticism, without actually doing so.
This concept is so misguided I don't even know where to start.

I run both Dell and Mac systems in my office too and my Dells regularly outperform and outlast my Macs. Not only that, but Dell offers premium support and they actually come onsite. Apple would rather waste your time so they can make their store look busy, which is the same reason why they space their stores so far apart.

Furthermore, Apple engineers just about everything to polarize you against the vast, vast majority which run Windows and Android. They also have an severely anemic selection of hardware that they are always using to experiment on how to get most of your money without providing any value.

In short, I'm sharing this with you to underline how shitty Apple is to their customers in every area, including support.
I think you are making a false dichotomy here. It is perfectly possible for the article to be right, and there is still a future with general artificial intelligence and a singularity. If you believe the singularity is inevitable then you should read the article as saying that we are woefully misjudging where the asymptote is -- yes current progress looks impressive, but there are some really big steps that we are currently ignoring, and real human level AI is a century or two out, not a decade or two out. That's perfectly possible, and most philosophers who work in consciousness and philosophy of mind (as well as a very large portion of the machine learning community) will tell you that there is still some big hurdles that we don't even have the faintest idea how to cross (the whitehouse report on AI described it as a "chasm").
