The concept of culture is in many ways a stereotype of personal and group behavior, so your argument doesn't make much sense to me.
"serde_json" uses an unsafe assumption that a slice of bytes is valid UTF-8 in two places. This is either for performance or for maintainability, depending on how you look at it. Performance is the more obvious reason but in fact we could get all the same speed just by duplicating most of the code in the crate.

Could that be done safely with a generic, instantiated for both types?
Now, are my comments valid? If yes, then what does it say about your idea? If

That's not necessarily true. Have you spent much time in the suburbs? Plenty of places you could live where you don't have city water or sewers but the town fire department isn't very far away.

It's not necessarily a generational thing. John Podesta was suspicious and sent the phishing email to campaign IT. Clinton campaign IT screwed up and told him to click the link and reset his password. Podesta is in his 60s and the IT people look like hey we're in their 20s.

And when it all went over there it made room for Google and Facebook. Today it's hard for a startup to find space in downtown PA because of Palantir.

What's a "problem" for the rest of the U.S. is creative destruction here. I worry we may have learned the wrong lessons because of current politics and inequalities. And it's worth remembering that automation is going to result in that manufacturing resulting in less jobs. What's going to happen when people expect the jobs to come back but then they don't?

I know this has all been said, but I'm not sure everyone's connected all the dots.
Yes, the proper comparison would be an additional transgenic strain expressing a suitably 'inert' protein to thus differentiate between the metabolic demands of high levels of protein expression vs. some particular effect of the heterologous EPSPS. Ideally, you'd use the same protein with a deletion of an active domain. It is common use multiple deletion lines to identify the causative domain; this sort of mechanistic work is essential for understanding what is actually going on.

Moreover, the use of 'near-isogenic' lines is very troubling, as they are rarely that similar. You can do e.g. RNAseq on 'identical' inbreds from different labs and get substantial differences. Seed is passed around so much, mis-labled in the field or out, etc. They certainly do not have an identical inbreed from something that was developed decades ago, not even close. Calling them near-isogenic is, well, let's say 'not that honest'. Very important to note that they have no way to control for this difference in genetic background.

Also noteworthy; Michael Antoniou has co-authored papers with e.g. Seralini, notorious for a widely-discredited paper on RoundUp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9ralini_affair That certainly does not discredit this work, but it is concerning when an investigator agrees to co-author a manuscript of such poor quality.

Finally, having done a lot of work on '-omics' in plants, I've yet to see an experiment that doesn't turn up some differences. Their list of GO terms is not remarkable, and changes of '30 fold' are not nearly as dramatic as they appear. This is well within the range of what I'd expect to see between different similar inbreds, which these lines certainly are.

In the proximity version of ownership, both are pirate flags.
This became painfully obvious when LinkedIn's algorithm started making extremely circuitous connections that freaked people out.

Reading some of the docs in the source tree makes it apparent it's been ported to a bunch of platforms and for a bunch of different markets, and it looks like a lot of people have touched the code over the years. With an experienced hand guiding the process, that usually leads to good quality, in terms of re-usability, stability, and code comments. Being 19 years old is also good for quality...even if it's huge and scary and difficult to wrap ones head around in a short time, somebody has run into every possible edge case and weird compatibility issue in all that time, and they've probably fixed it. Old code bases aren't really fun to work on, but they are usually really productive to work on.
How do the data brokers know whether one shops at dollar stores? Who is leaking our inforamtion to the brokers? Is the store or the credit card company releasing information to a third party? Store gets the customer name from the credit card. Credit card company knows that a transaction took place at the dollar store. Any other possibilities?

I guess "not letting your kids play IAP funnels disguised as games" isn't an option?

Admittedly IAP funnels are an absurdly large portion of the games on the app stores.

"Making the kid grind for his own damn coins or buy them out of his allowance" is also a suggestion that comes to mind, and would probably start to teach him something about what his time and money is worth. Why is Daddy up late at night grinding in the IAP funnel for him?

Karpathy's explanation in CS231n is great: for any computational unit that is a function, you can calculate a derivative. So propagating the derivative backward through the function, just aplly the chain rule. This is much with simpler functions, so understand your algorithm down to the smallest computable units in the graph.

> I think it's more like: since you know the compiler won't let you write a buffer overflow, use-after-free, data race, etc., you no longer have to waste time worrying about whether your code might contain such problems, which frees up more mental bandwidth for other concerns.

I've spent a lot of time figuring out how to do completely mundane things in Rust. At this point, buffer overflows and use-after-frees are not my biggest concerns in C++.

> The scary thing isn't causing a segfault on your local machine. The scary thing is writing code that could segfault but doesn't do in testing until after you've deployed it publicly. If your compiler rejects code that can segfault, this is no longer a concern.

If your testing didn't catch the problem (which I can fully understand), a panic at runtime is not much different than a segfault.

> (Or replace segfault with a buffer overflow that leaks your private keys or something equally bad.)

I firmly believe the OpenSLL team would've used unsafe blocks in Rust to disable the performance overhead of bounds checking. That whole exploit was caused by sloppy optimizations, and Rust is not immune from that.
> On the bright side, more Americans are going to find out what living next to a modern chip fab plant is like.

A modern chip fab plant is one of the cleanest industries we have EVER produced.

Everything is really sealed, and even the "waste" gases are purer than what you get directly from most industrial suppliers. It used to be that most of these plants immediately dump industrial gases into their waste stream and purify them to the level they need.

This is different from a PCB manufacturing plant which creates lots of liquid waste that is contaminated with all manner of nasty metals.
Now I can play it on my Linux system.

It looks like it's been available for Linux for a while. Steam has it for Linux, and the compatibility info shows Ubuntu 12.04...so, I would guess the port happened many years ago.
Higher density would mean the costs would come down. The $350k house doesn't cost that much because it's 15 miles from downtown, but because it's the 225,000th (made up number) closest house to downtown.

Imagine you could miraculously cut 5 yards from the length of every city block. Your house would suddenly be a mile closer to downtown. But – assuming no reaction from the outside world – the competition for housing and the relative competitiveness of your house wouldn't change.
I think they're right, security wise.

Assuming you are the only one that controls the GAI then yes, you will be more powerful than the entire planet. The government and Google are powerful because they have all those brains working together to solve and accomplish problems and tasks, respectively. But a single GAI can outdo all of them in any task.

A GAI will be smarter than the entire human race combined. It really does not matter how much computing power you have if it is not GAI.
It's easy to forget on HN, but there is far from universal buy-in for the notion that having or collecting data on people is unethical. Some may even consider it noble to optimize and perfect the world and its institutions (including commerce, via efficient advertising) using large-scale personal data.

The impulse to make something better by applying a database engine that you might feel for business processes, can just as easily be felt for customer interactions or the world at large.

For an interesting (and very critical) look at this philosophy I recommend The Circle by Dave Eggers.
Even when you can't prove what arbitrary code does, proving what well-written code does is useful, and not writing unprovable code would be a small price to pay.

I think you missed the point I was trying to make.

My point was simply that it's a not very controversial that the living conditions around the world are getting better, thats great.

But it does not mean that it's getting better for everyone and especially in the developed countries it's actually going the other way which is relevant to discuss as this might mean that things can't continue getting better.

OP here. This is a dense paper since it involves many concepts (abstract algebras, tensors, automata) and I don't fully grok it (not even close).

The main points seem to be:

- Realization of the duality between programs and maps over vector space (simplification: assumes the real field).

- Define differentiation for those programs.

- Expand over current automatic differentiation approaches by having a well defined algebra, as opposed to a pure algorithmic translation of the chain rule by forward/backward propagation.

- Since the differentiation operator is well defined, get higher-order derivatives "for free" .

- Also, get composition of differentiable programs "for free".

This formalization seem to have a lot of potential IMO by allowing generalization of techniques researchers have to currently "hand craft" in neural networks (control structures, recursion, composition).
"You got the first X levels for free but if you want more you'll need to pay $$". Sure worked for Doom.

The article is very unclear. Here's another quote in the same article that says the hacks against the RNC failed. The NY Times is basically telling us that they received conflicting reports from different anonymous and similarly credible sources.

>>My guess is there won't ever be a post-singularity god-AI

The singularity already happened, in meat space, i.e. Humans. Now those same humans are trying to create AI's smarter than themselves. We still have not accomplished it but we will. All of this looks self evident from my point of view.

Remember, people used to think that humans would never fly. But why would they think that? There was plenty of evidence that flight was possible. Evolution invented flight, then we did the same. Evolution invented GAI in meat space, now is our turn to do it. This is a virtual certainty, unless we destroy ourselves.
> I think I read somewhere that, on an online shop, each step you add to the checkout process halves the number of people who complete it.

I wonder how much of that is just "more steps bad", and how much is that any step you add to a checkout process beyond what is necessary for the actual sale is (a) forcing you to do something you don't care about, and (b) going to make it more intrusive? Eg. forcing you to create an account, forcing you to validate an email address, forcing you to fill out a "quick survey", forcing you to unsubscribe from their marketing spam.

There have been plenty of times that I've wanted to buy an item from an online store but have decided against it because the store wants to "create a relationship" with me instead of just selling me the damn item.
It's an algorithm, so it is by definition neutral with regard to things that are invisible to algorithms. Back links are (were) a proxy for content quality, as are domains. Setting per-domain weights is not neutral, but incoming links as a measure is. That is to say, it is not open to political bias on the part of Google.

The shift towards increasing political interference with these algorithms raises additional issues. Google becomes responsible for what you are able to see, rather than just showing you what exists on the web relevant to your query.

You may remember that Google exited the world's largest market some time ago precisely because they were not willing to accept political influence on search results.

I don't think anyone has an objection to honestly studying heritable traits, including those for intelligence, but rather we object to how quickly people cherry-pick individual studies to support ideologies, without paying any heed to the general scientific consensus or other studies.

"This one study from 1976..." isn't a convincing case for establishing that link.

If there were a good meta-analysis that tied together several studies and made a reasonable, statistically-grounded case that race is tied to IQ, while simultaneously explaining the contradicting studies, the anime-avatar Race Realist crowd would be absolutely tripping over themselves to post it.

I tried to get Atom running as a Chrome App a while back, but it's so entangled with Node APIs that it was extremely difficult even for another local environment.

Given that Atom is so optimized to run as a local app, with a local file system and no huge penalty for loading tons of code, I think it'd be much easier to start over with the component parts and build a new PWA designed for the web: all filesystem operations should be async, and all plugins loaded on-demand, and possibly running on the server.

Yes I have used similar methods. In addition to using generic, relevant searches on Google, Reddit, etc., I did competitor searches looking for discussions about them. That helped me figure out which competitors were most popular. Typically people would discuss what they like or dislike about them which helped inform some product decisions. In my case there seemed to be some dissatisfaction with existing solutions and willingness to try new products which suggested there is demand.
That's not necessarily true. Many games show the version as 12.04 because the original Steam OS is based on it.
