Yes.

This is essentially like using a mixer in RF circuits. I'm pretty sure it's still used in many variations. Generally speaking you can't go high enough in sample rate to allow every RF signal (in the GHz possibly) to be sampled directly. It's always some sort of frequency shifting + filter. The key is to filter out frequencies out of the band before sampling and the band does not need to start from DC (0Hz).

> And we can rule out one of the two, because we have no evidence of anything supernatural and no indication that people can come back from the dead.

At this point, you seem to be saying "coming back from the dead is impossible, therefore it didn't happen". I think that's the wrong mindset. I think it's more correct to say, "coming back from the dead is impossible, but did it happen?"

See, if God exists, if He's really there, how would we know? Well, a historical instance of the impossible happening might be pretty good evidence that He's actually there. And the resurrection of Jesus is the big, flashing neon sign that says "Look over here. God actually did something."

So the question is, how good is the evidence for the resurrection? Well, there's an account of him appearing in a roomful of his followers (who at that time didn't believe in his resurrection), telling one of them "Look, here's the holes from the nails from when they crucified me. You can stick your finger in them. It's really me." This was written down for us by a guy who was in the room when it happened. That's... pretty good evidence.

To not believe it, you have to believe that it wasn't written by who it says it was, or that he lied about what happened, or that he was mistaken.

If you think the evidence indicates that one of those options is true, fine. But I suspect it's more likely that your position is really going to boil down to "God doesn't exist, therefore the resurrection didn't happen, therefore the story has to be mistaken." That is, your presupposition is determining how you view the evidence. I think it's more rational to give the evidence an honest look, even if the conclusions destroy your presupposition.
Has anyone noticed bookmarklets not working when multi-process is turned on?

I installed a V 51 developer edition to test out multi-process, and when multi-process was on, my bookmarks that modify the dom did not work. Any one else noticed anything similar?
Note that you don't need a GC to do that; the allocator can do it for you.

A lot of folks think that optimizations like having allocation arenas and spreading out deallocation pauses are unique to garbage collectors, but they're completely orthogonal to GC. You can have GCs with these optimizations, and GCs without. You can have regular allocators with these optimizations, and regular allocators without. Jemalloc does have arenas and stuff for allocation (I'm unsure if it spreads out deallocation loads). Of course, with a GC you can also defer the cost of iterating through large vectors and calling destructors.

But anyway, this only becomes a problem when you have large complicated Rc-trees in your application, which tends to not be the case in Rust.
I second this. I never got to dive into Foundation just because its docs are not accessible and I can't just put a link into my html and forget about the setup. With Bootstrap I just navigate to the "CSS" page and pick up some example code and be done with it. Even if I think that Foundation might look better I just don't feel that it worths the extra time I need to put in to make it work.
Ask HN: Probability and Statistics online courses

I'm looking for good courses about this topic because I want to remember some stuff and be ready to learn about machine learning and deep learning later.

Do you have some course or a book to study about this?

Trust me, if there's ever a Rust 2.0, it will contain minimal breaking changes (ideally no breaking changes that can't be automatically and infallibly fixed by a migration tool), and will be preceded by years and years of deprecation warnings.

Python 3 broke Python because it completely changed how strings work. Nothing of that magnitude will ever come to Rust.
Even outside Silicon Valley this is very similar. When I post a programming job I get more applicants from data scientists than from actual programmers. When I post a marketing job I get more applicants from data scientists than from actual marketers. It is clear to me that supply has far outpaced demand.
If it requires manager approval, that's not really 20% time in my opinion based on the founders statesments below; which is to say, an employee doing what they feel would most benefit a company has little to nothing to do with their managers opinion of what's best for the company.

Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin highlighted the idea in Google's 2004 IPO letter: "We encourage our employees, in addition to their regular projects, to spend 20% of their time working on what they think will most benefit Google," they wrote. "This empowers them to be more creative and innovative."

I would however suggest to differentiate the services by color-coding the background: blue for Compute, red for Storage and DB, orange for Machine Learning etc. This will make it easier to take in the diagrams at a glance.

> Similarly, we just don't understand minds enough yet to formulate sensible questions about AI.

We most certainly do understand enough to formulate questions, and even answer some of them. The problem is that the people making the most noise (Bostrom et al) are not trained in neuroscience or computer science, nor do they have practical experience in deploying working systems. They have about as much training and expertise as science fiction writers, and the end result is similar.

I find it more interesting that the original comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13231557) found computers "generally very restrictive" and therefore uninteresting for experimentation...

You are entirely correct. Building more housing near where the jobs are is an excellent alternative.

No, the Chinese room takes as an assumption that the input and output of the room is the same as someone who "actually understands" Chinese. In other words, it assumes that biological decisions will always be the same as the AI's decision.
Part of it might be that musicians and composers have a finite boredom threshold. As a jazz musician, much as I love "the girl from Ipanema," and it's one of the greatest songs ever written, if I have to play it yet again in the same way as it's always played, I find it hard to refrain from misbehaving.

I prefer playing music that is more avant garde (within my abilities of course) even if it appeals to a smaller audience.
FWIW I think the issue with higher FPS is that it requires different camera work and acting styles for it to be convincing.

I've taken the first 6 classes in this specialization as well, and have found them to be pretty valuable. These, so far, have been more about the mechanics of programming in R, and less about the math. The Duke one above is more math, less R. But both are an intermingling of both mathematical concepts and R coding. I find that these two tracks complement each other very well.

Call for Papers: 10th European Lisp Symposium, ELS'17
Supporting different operating systems shows the flexibility of the Kubernetes system.

The "core" of Kubernetes is an API server backed by the etcd key-value store (diagram[1]). Everything is a client of this API server: the scheduler, the kubectl CLI, and the nodes that run the workloads themselves.

This means the agent that starts and babysits the containers, called the Kubelet, can be reimplemented for some other operating system, as has been done here, without a ton of coordination across other components.

Further, because of Kubernetes's labeling system[2] it is easy for a workload to express constraints like the need to run on machines with certain features using a nodeSelector[3].

There is a lot to do before getting Windows support fully working but today it is a great showcase of Kubernetes's flexibility.

He probably means VT-d since he mentioned passthrough. VT-x is just the virtualization extensions needed for many hypervisors, while VT-d lets your VMs directly access the actual physical hardware. Like dedicating a physical GPU or NIC to a VM.

I'm not sure which modern CPUs and motherboards support that. I know back in the Core2 days when VT-d was first introduced, it was a nightmare to find the right combination. Looking from the outside, Intel also seems to play a lot of marketing games with their CPU features. Sometimes top-of-the-line CPUs will be missing features that others have. Like selling a $6K Xeon CPU manufactured this quarter without virtualization support. (http://ark.intel.com/products/95831/Intel-Xeon-Phi-Processor...) Supposedly they want to get that feature in there at a later date, but that's not something we like to trust in with computer components.

Your VT-x search returns 1459 products, while the VT-d search returned only 788. Here's a list of things that say they support VT-x but not VT-d (http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced?s=t&VTX=true&VTD=false). Pretty sure some entries on it are wrong, but Intel is also terrible about keeping old technology names on newer spec sheets. Maybe they folded VT-d into VT-x without telling the world?
Here are at least two of the real questions posed by this article, other than "Trump, blah, blah, Prince".

1) From the list of pages it seems that Wikipedia is a news site, and a list site, and a calendar site. Yet it uses an wiki format that is ill-suited to any of those tasks. Discuss.

Four Wikipedia editors collaborated to rewrite the article on Vincent van Gogh, one of the most well-known painters in Western art, and brought it to ‘featured‘ status, a quality marker awarded only after an extensive peer review process by fellow Wikipedia editors.The effort required to rewrite van Gogh’s article was “enormous,” Wikipedia editor Victoriaearle told us, due to the amount of research, reading, and writing required. This shows up in the number of edits made by the four, which put it at the twentieth-most edited article in the entire year.

2) If it takes such an enormous amount of effort to create one "featured article", it becomes impossible to get all articles to featured status. There simply is not enough time/people to do the work. The question is: where is the quality boundary drawn? Go to any random page and see when it was last updated, or if it has outdated time information. The "infinite monkey" theorem says an infinite amount of monkeys working for an infinite amount of time will come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. But in this case, there is neither infinite time, nor infinite monkeys. I'll call this Sparkzilla's Theorem: Given a finite amount of people and time, the quality of Wikipedia articles will always be suboptimal. It would be interesting for someone with a statistics background to prove this...
> The problem is that the people making the most noise (Bostrom et al) are not trained in neuroscience or computer science…

This is incorrect. Among his degrees, Bostrom has a master's in computational neuroscience. His arguments have also convinced PhD neuroscientists (such as Sam Harris) and computer scientists (such as Stuart Russell) about the potential dangers of AI.
It's sometimes very useful, but not that often. It's not great for short lived feature branches. It's for long-term branches. If you don't need those (and most often you do not): great, your life is (relatively) simple; don't over-complicate it. You don't buy the use-case, because the situation is not that common or desirable. But once you get in a situation where you really do need multiple long-term branches developed in parallel, you might be happy to have a tool that helps untangle the web of merges somewhat.
you have manually enabled the multi process.

Notably, I have considered this, and as I was reading this thread, I was reminded of the BitCoin effort[1] by OpenWhisper Systems that appeared on HN not too long ago. The thing is, it's hard to get money-making models to work for "free (libre) software" in an era of increasing entitlement. That said, if there were another such system like that of the BitCoin one (but not using BitCoin or Paypal like everyone seems to resort to), I'd definitely be interested.

Ask HN: How are the Apple AirPods?
AirPods have been in people's hands a few days now, how are they? Met your expectations? Any problems exercising in them, or having them fall out?
On a philosophical level: not really. The present, and therefore the future, are in constant motion. History, not so much. When someone (known, in these cases) passes away this is akin to assimilation in biology and it closes a chapter. The final balance is made; credit where credit is due, but also criticism where appropriate. Both is easier because the person is now dead. This develops a momentum of focus from various individuals, both in raw information, and the need to reach consensus. If we were to wait the danger lies in trying to reach that many years later when information, memories, and sources have (partly) faded.

Compare that to journalism (news reporting). Those facts are in common flux, and nowadays get journaled in detail which does the very same as death of a (known) human. If you look through the list, a lot of the most edited articles are news. In an encyclopedia!

I'd argue news is, in essence, assimilation; Wikipedia even more so. Some things which are in full momentum, like a new startup, are technically news as well. Yet you won't find that on Wikipedia since it isn't part of establishment! It is still too much in motion, but later on you may actually very well see it part of an entry if the startup got bought. Which is, quite obviously, assimilation.

Like I said earlier, death is akin to assimilation in biology. Heck, death is the way a human assimilates.
Chrome was built from scratch around this concept. Firefox wasn't, and there's a whole wealth of infrastructure around the non-multiprocess approach, from the way plugins work, all the way on up. Migrating towards multi-process has been a decidedly non-trivial task for Mozilla, involving a lot of effort from a lot of people.
well not treating them as critical, but there are many projects that do so.
One scala Project for example: https://github.com/playframework/playframework/labels/docume...

Unfortunatly once they are there not many PRs will address, these, only if their are actually critical.
(Well the problem with play is actually that you need to read the README.md of the documentation carefully to make documentation and to understand a little bit of sbt and scala.)

Also it's actually not easy to write understandable documentation for many users. Some people are just too different, so that some actually need a way more detailed view, while for others this would be disturbing and useless noise, the golden middle is hard, especially if you contribute documentation to a framework which includes different libraries, it's really hard to keep the documentation simple.

P.S.: gitlab also treats documentation very seriously. (just to have at least two examples)

They sure do, I added the Unicode superscript and subscript variant to that bin page, it's much more compact than the HTML element super and subscripts.

I wonder what screenreader support is like for the Unicode vulgar fractions, the HTML, and the all-Unicode variants. Apple's VoiceOver correctly reads the Unicode 'fraction slash' and superscript and subscript numbers. Now that I'm thinking about it, using superscript and subscript with fraction slash visually displays a fraction as we expect but is not semantically correct; unmodified ASCII numbers separated by 'fraction slash' would more accurately represent the numerators and denominators.
An alternative vertical tab bar I discovered some time ago is Tab Center (https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center).

I'm guessing he means "you wouldn't be able to read these wacky characters in isolation, but in a body of text you can infer which Latin character each represents".

It's not unlike the sense of "context" of Context Mixing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_mixing

In the case of a human attempting to read his text, the context could be considered to include semantic hints, knowing how many letters are in the current word, etc.
