Windup girl was an amazingly imaginative extrapolation. I do have a bit of a problem with how fatalistic most post-apocalypse works are. I think what would actually emerge would be very messy, but still far more hopeful than depicted. For example, in a The Walking Dead scenario, the first real settlement they found that was semi-secure would have probably grown into a fairly stable city-state. They work hard on that show to keep the rollercoaster going. IMO, tiring and not very realistic.

Additionally, here's an example of how Caffe was porting using HIP [1]. To be honest, if the approach really does work, you might see a very quick increase in the number of applications ported.

All in all, given how elegant HIP is and that HCC seems to make GPUs more approachable than CUDA (and less silly than OpenACC), there is a great potential for AMD to gain some traction. My greatest concern is the quality and robustness of their software stack, their overly optimistic view (at least from the outside), and their relationship with the rest of the OSS world, especially given the conflicts that they seems to be running into with upstream contrib [2].

People are replying to this remarking on the lack of compassion. I agree, but you don't even need to agree with that to find the statement objectionable.

It seems pretty indisputable that children who are raised with more parental involvement are more successful in life. Those that are less successful don't just disappear, they become a financial drain on society, be it through social security, imprisonment, etc. etc.

So no matter how little you care for other people having kids, two things are true:

1) they're going to have them whether you like it or not (and really, society depends on this)

2) if they don't have support, they're going to cost you more than if they do.

There's really no way in which increased parental involvement doesn't make sense for society.

Yep, we're going to greatly expand our support of TypeScript with Polymer 2.0. We'll have supported type declarations, and decorators to help write elements, and eventually (though maybe not at Polymer 2.0's release) tools support in the Polymer Analyzer and IDE plugins. You'll even be able to type check and auto-complete in your templates.

There's a little dated PR that adds TypeScript decorators here: https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/pull/3954 We're probably going to break out the decorators into a separate packages, since the ECMAScript decorators proposal has diverged a bit from what TypeScript supports now.

The only thing I'm advocating for in this thread is clear thinking and clear communication - in particular I oppose overloading a perfectly well defined and clear statistical term.

Similarly, I advocate against new-age uses of the word "energy" - energy is a specific conserved quantity, not some mysterious unobservable thing that emanates from crystals.

What benefit do we gain when other people can't even understand the words we use?

It's almost as if you want to use a Motte-and-Bailey argument to confuse people ( http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/03/all-in-all-another-bric... ). Which is of course something that people do on this very topic: https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2016/propublica_is_lying....

The brain feels the body and both are affected by the environment(e.g.: if your body is bad and you can't feel pleasure anymore, or it's lowered, how are you gonna have happy thoughts? Same applies to the environment, which is something that seems to be frequently ignored), not only that, stress is a chemical and it acts on both your body and your brain.. is this conclusion a surprise to anyone?

Most of the comments here, people seem only capable of introjecting stuff as if the sole reason for stuff has gotta be personal issues(not saying this in a derrogatory manner) or a square diagnosis, this is absurd to me. Maybe it's cause I already came to the conclusion that I'm an ok mostly healthy animal plus gave up trying to fit the artificial into the natural(i.e.: I think our society is rotten. Also, how convenient it is that all problems must be seen as purely individual, huh?). History, classical thought -> good for the brain and body, maybe.

I developed something like this health anxiety starting back in April, after a severe bout of flu/some unknown and moderately severe viral illness coinciding with a bacterial skin infection. I had a very tough couple of months where I would worry about every minor physical "deviation" that I noticed. I also had constant heart palpitations, which caused more anxiety, thus triggering more palpitations. I'd spend upwards of a half hour at a time on Google, looking up symptoms and trying to figure out whether my headache was due to a common cold or a brain condition...

One thing that personally helped me recover mentally was weightlifting. Part of what helped was that I could relatively easily attribute any random (and benign) ache/pain that I might otherwise worry about to "oh, well, I just lifted recently, so my body's repairing/sore/etc" as opposed to some serious condition I found on Google. Sticking with caffeine even though I was worried about palpitations also helped me through some form of "exposure therapy," where I eventually (re)learned that caffeine is safe to consume.

Talking with my therapist helped. As did consciously reminding myself that, for a lot of rare or potentially deadly conditions, the symptoms would be much more severe than I'm experiencing, and that some symptoms (fast heartrate is a big one) can be attributed to anxiety alone.

For example, last night while lying in bed, I felt a sudden twitching on the left side of my chest at about twice my resting heart rate. I instantly jumped to the conclusion that it was my heart having rapid contractions, which triggered a burst of anxiety, but when I stopped and thought about it (the twitching seemed to be intermittent and didn't feel internal like a heart problem might, it felt external), I successfully convinced myself that it was my muscle twitching -- a totally benign occurrence. Maybe I was dehydrated.

Basically, I was able to help myself by using logic and trying to match the severity of my personal diagnosis with the severity of the symptom I was experiencing. I imagine this wouldn't be possible if I suddenly had symptoms as severe as GP, but it can help me stem these threads of anxiety before the anxiety itself causes more issues than the original problem.

In my opinion, he's given this spot to write his article because he is a good writer and his stories are compelling. You are right, he typically writes fluffy pop science that's almost as misleading as it is entertaining. On the other hand, that too is bought and consumed in large quantities, fueling his success.

To my mind the shame is that there could be some interesting stuff in here but it gets glossed over. The contrast between Ellsberg and Snowden interest me greatly but I find little satisfaction in the piece. Gladwell implies Ellsberg cries over how far "the leaker" has fallen, perhaps he cries for the crime that is everyone above Snowden in the organization chart turning a blind eye to something so morally wrong. For me, it's easy to assume Gladwell is more interested in a appealing ending rather than something that educates or informs.

Objective-C doesn't have algebraic data types.

Optional, structural algebraic type system with runtime support (mainly for `match ...` constructs) is IMHO the sweet spot.

It really makes a difference to have it. The analogy on top of my head is this: it's like a difference, when working on text processing code, to have regexp or do things by hand. Similar to regexps, above type system support, can cut necessary code by orders of magnitude and make it much more readable/reason about.
I think it is sort of relevant because it reveals a certain amount of contradictory thought. Employer provided healthcare is often provided without any consideration of the actuarial cost of providing it. A group decides that everybody in the group should have coverage and shares the cost. But doing that for a bigger group, oh hell no.
Those two aren't mutually exclusive.
After 25 years in startups, with several of them paying out, I was able to retire at 55, so I did. I still love writing software, but I got tired of: not having a life, due to insane startup schedules; the stress of startups; working for idiots, (partly this is because we hired idiots, but also because my tolerance for idiocy has vanished).

I have more time for family and friends. I can tinker with new ideas in software, and eventually find new projects to work on, (I have one now). I have started teaching again, on and off. I get to sleep late, go out more, both at night and on vacations.

However, I have done less than I thought I would, and honestly, I am sometimes bored. However, I absolutely will not work again if I don't have to. Why? Because going to work for someone else is an admission that I don't know what the hell to do with myself, so I might as well fill my time sacrificing my precious time for someone else's dream. No thanks. Not only does that re-introduce the problems mentioned above, but it masks the real problem of not knowing what I really want to do.

Also, I'm really tired of the startup life. Charismatic startup founders who use their charm to extract what they need from you, VC lemmings, "this is the most important release ever", open floor plans, ...

The thing is, there are still thousands of nuclear missiles pointed from the USA to the states of the former Soviet Union, and vice-versa. There are other nuclear states as well, which could use their nukes if push came to shove (Pakistan/India, North Korea, China). We are still very much under threat of a nuclear war breaking out, and the cold war is showing signs of starting up again.

Trump is making pro-Russia noises, but anti-China noises, and he could easily change his mind on a dime and go ballistic over some perceived slight from Putin. Many people feel complacent about it because the Soviet Union has collapsed and relations between the USA and Russia are relatively peaceful, but this is a false sense of security.

I have recently decided to switch from Polymer to Material2 for the following reasons:

- Polymer is only available through bower, which means I have to teach 2 package management systems to my developers.

- The documentation is not great (for instance, events are documented in camelCase, but must be listened for in Angular 2 using dashes-between-words).

- There are serious issues [0] which not gone resolved for a long time.

- The behavior of important components is not intuitive. For instance, the menu component acts more like a list which has a selected item (which also cannot be reselected)

> Wikipedia is committed to minimizing error.

Try to tell that to the guys who feel like they own the /dev/random article on Wiki-DE:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskussion:/dev/random#.2Fdev....

An "IP" (which is basically a kind of online racism, because ostensibly "IPs" are not addresses but a certain kind of people) tried to correct the usual /dev/urandom misinformation. It was reverted, called vandalism and the user bakunin finally stated that he reverted because "the discussion was getting on his nerves" and "even if the change was factually correct", it was obviously vandalism.

I know why I don't try to contribute to Wikipedia. When the half-time of donations to the project can be measured in minutes, it's just not worth it.

Im all for societal level support of parents, I just don't think the obligation should be on corporations. I dont think a corporation should be required to do anything but hold your position open for up to 3-6 months as a sabbatical. (I do think we should have a parental unemployment benefit, to make up the pay.)

But it seems fundamentally unfair to impose on the business's ability to function (or other people's ability to get hired/promoted) because you want to have a kid.

So if you want to incentivize parents, do it through social benefits, rather than unreasonable demands and distortions of the labor market.
Ok but, the only reason you would care about getting energy super efficiently/quickly is if you're an athlete. Also while glucose is certainly easier to burn, I've seen evidence that ketones are actually a better source of energy. Since we have an obesity epidemic, and the vast majority of (fat) people are on the diet you're proposing, I would suggest that energy efficiency is not exactly a high priority for most people. If we know that carbohydrates will cause weight gain (not just in humans, but in animals too -- there's a reason why they feed cattle grain and not grass), and we know that the biggest health problem we have right now is obesity, suggesting that people should eat a lot of carbohydrates seems like terrible advice.

And if you're going to suggest that the solution there is to decrease caloric intake, I also think that's bad advice. We know, from type 1 diabetes, that your body doesn't store fat if insulin isn't present. Certain foods have a much stronger insulin response than others, and not surprisingly carbohydrates have a much stronger insulin response than fats. IE, the notion that all calories are equal is not supportable by the scientific evidence. So if the culprit is insulin response, it would make much more sense to adjust what you eat and when you eat it, instead of measuring a number (calories) that isn't that useful anyway.
That started last monday. I'm assuming it is over now.

I remember that a few years ago AMD had the only sensible solution for virtualizing GPUs, and you could make a bunch of them work together as a single unit without much trouble. But I didn't have a Radeon card so I never got to try it. Don't know what happened with that, it's true that they really lagged behind NVIDIA.

Predictions are information. :-) In any case, I was just responding to the maxim of "if it works why aren't you already rich?".

I have a options strategy in front of me that is definitely profitable over the last 10 years, no question. Up in every month over that time-frame except 3 times. I'm not rich because it needs nearly constant monitoring and large starting capital and I can't do that with my day job.

But, if I ever try to raise that capital, I will be very sad if all I hear is "if it works why aren't you already rich?"...

> in particular I oppose overloading a perfectly well defined and clear statistical term.

The overloading happened the other way around...

> What benefit do we gain when other people can't even understand the words we use?

Similarly, what benefit do we gain when we use a term of art in settings where most of the audience doesn't have the technical background to be quite sure what they're even discussing?

Also, there is a notion that's distinct from statistical bias and that is highly political and controversial. Today we can say "bias" and most everyone will know we're talking about that topic. Whatever word or phrase we use in place of "bias" will be just as muddy and ill-defined. And probably some mathematician will come along and build some incomplete model and name if after that new word. And then we'll have this conversation again. The problem you're trying to avoid is unavoidable.

In the US governments (and corporations) already subsidize child-rearing in lots of other indirect ways, so it at least makes sense to discuss one of the many ways in which the US is notably different from most developed economies.

I do agree the OP could have said "different" rather than "behind"

After all, with something like this they often stem from a least theoretically similar policy goals, so it seems crazy not to evaluate implementation cost & benefits against peer systems.
I don't understand. My paraphrase of Wikipedia's position on (what I'm calling) zombie stub articles is that the risk/reward for them doesn't pan out. They have marginal positive value but pose significant risk of overhead and error.

But that's very much not the case with other stub articles, or even other zombie articles (where sources have no doubt been permanently exhausted, but the sources we have today make room for a solid 100 word article).

Podesta was phished. That is a fact.

But every Pizzagate claim relies on interpretations of the emails that were (accurately, to the best of my knowledge) leaked, not what's in the emails. The "evidence" is stuff like a handkerchief with a map that seemed "pizza-related," plus the claim that this must be coded language because obviously people don't have pizza-related-map handkerchiefs, plus 4chan and UrbanDictionary references to "pizza" and "hot dog" being coded language used by pedophiles.

It's the same as with the "spirit cooking" nonsense. Yes, he was invited to a "Spirit Cooking dinner". No, there's no reason to believe that a "Spirit Cooking dinner" really means a Satanic ritual. It could be, in theory, yes; there's no way to prove that it isn't. But it probably isn't.
