El Al 73, 50% longer than it "should" be because of a detour around Saudi Arabia: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/ELY73/history/20161230/0...

Azerbaijan Airlines J2261 doesn't seem to be that much longer, even though it has to avoid the Karabakh region. (At first I thought you were referencing the Ստեփանակերտի Օդանավակայան/Stepanakert Airport, which interestingly has no IATA code.)

Dubai to Yerevan doesn't seem that geopolitically complicated though - seems to fly just over Iran mostly. I guess the end of the flight could get tricky though, with Armenia saying that Azerbaijan would shoot down Armenian planes that go over Azerbaijan. The flight I found is FDB715, https://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDB715/history/20170103/...

I think some places and people have a very low tolerance for bluntness. I have quite a high tolerance for it. I actually tone myself down here a lot (partly due to the fact that this is my real name). I enjoy opinionated and provocative communication that others just can't stomach. For example I find the 'rants' of Linus Torvalds completely inoffensive, even when I disagree with them. Colour and passion is a good thing and there's no reason to get too upset about our different preferences in pushing bits around, or shy away from strong language. I guess this doesn't sit well with this new breed of progressive programmer with their codes of conduct and all the rest of it. Oh well.

I often enjoy your posts, which I find quite insightful at times.

Thanks - I try.

The radio in mine is (in an HTC One A9). I almost never have headphones with me though, so it's not usually of any practical use to me.
But the Cast system doesn't send arbitrary bits to the TV. It's a protocol for handing off authorized streams which are then processed by the TV (or in most cases the device connected to the TV by, ironically, HDMI).

So it's not really a method to stream arbitrary visual and audio data to a TV.

/dev/urandom does have a problem with not enough entropy sometimes. Yes it never "runs out" of entropy when it has enough previously. But when a computer first boots up, sometimes it doesn't have enough entropy yet, and gives bad output.

This causes problems in practice, allowing people to crack RSA private keys.

Sometimes the matrix, like for example the adjacency matrix for Wikipedia internal links, will be very sparse. Another reason to use relations rather than an inefficient, mostly empty implicit data structure.

That Wikipedia adjacency matrix would be interesting to visualize, though. There are tools out there for visualizing sparse matrices as graphs:

Where's your uncle? Our elderly relatives in countryside always outlive us the city-dwellers. I live in a very lucky part of my city where I'm both between two sizable forests and close to all means of commute, thus I breathe in the best air of the city. Most city-dwellers world-wide though, breathe in shit air. There's no London fog anymore, yes, but instead millions of cars, and tens of millions of people together. I think that plays an important role, to have good air around.

The idea of a Beowulf cluster was using networked commodity PC hardware and Linux to do HPC / scientific computing.

In some ways this idea came to dominate. If you look at the top500 list:

https://www.top500.org/list/2016/11/

All of these machines are big clusters running Linux. Mostly on Intel CPUs.

But on the other hand, the idea of using commodity hardware is kind of a thing of the past. It's mostly Xeon CPUs, not desktop processors. And it's specialized network hardware. And more and more you see dedicated compute hardware like Intel Phi and Nvidia Tesla cards.
I actually had no idea that graphviz was actually a graph description language until I clicked on that link. I had used it before, but as a ruby gem, so I thought it was just a library. So thanks!
I see plenty of libraries and tools for displaying a graph that has been defined in text code. Is there a really easy tool for generating graphs with a gui, easily and intuitively, and converting that into text? The solutions I've found don't make the node and edge creation easy enough.
> Fukoku Mutual will use the AI to gather the information needed for policyholders' payouts - by reading medical certificates, and data on surgeries or hospital stays

With that statement I definitely agree with you. If they said they were replacing something like 20% of their call-center staff I would think it's a reasonable thing to do (AI voice recognition and comprehension these days is amazing), but not for important documents like surgery data.
Props for swinging at the fences. I'm not seeing what they were shooting for though. If someone posts the user stories for these things I'd love to see that.

I find it unlikely anyone would be so confident a AI system that they are "planning to introduce" that they'd schedule staff cuts.

I think it's reasonable to assume any company considering AI to replace people would do a lot of due diligence first. This is very likely a well tested and "proven" system, to whatever extent you can prove it. The plan to introduce it to the business, and make jobs redundant in the process, would only happen once that first due diligence stage is complete. To that end, I don't see this as a PR move to make redundancies look better, but a very early signal of what is likely to happen to many "knowledge worker" jobs in the long term.

> You can make a barometer for morality out of anything.

Yes, that's right. That was the point I was making with Grand Theft Auto, where you get rewarded for committing what in this world are considered crimes. That's what you get in created worlds: the creator gets to decide everything: the laws of physics, morality, the color of the sky. Everything.

But in this world, which operates according to the laws of physics (of which evolution is a consequence), morality is not arbitrary. Good is that which results from genes building brains which have moral intuitions that produce behaviors that increase the reproductive fitness of those genes. What is it about this idea that you find so distasteful? I think it's rather beautiful actually. It gets you out of some rather thorny problems (see below).

> The argument is actually Aristotle's, Plato just wrote it down

You mean Socrates, not Aristotle. (Whee! This game of scholarly one-upsmanship is so much fun!)

> If you buy that premise, then God would never tell someone to do something immoral

Well, yeah, because then what God says is moral by definition. If God says forcing someone to eat their children is moral, then it's moral.

BTW, it seems to me that having morality grate on your intuitions like that (the idea that forcing someone to eat their children is moral does grate on your intuitions, doesn't it?) is exactly what you would expect if man is fallen. That's what it means for man to be fallen, doesn't it? That our moral intuitions are unreliable and we have to rely on God for moral guidance? In which case who are we to second-guess the Word of God?

> What you're citing from Jeremiah is a prophecy, and those are notoriously complex to decipher

I dunno, it seems pretty straightforward to me.

"Thus saith the LORD... I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters..."

God is making a promise here, so there are logically only three possibilities: either 1) he's bluffing (i.e. lying) and if push comes to shove he won't actually do the things he says he's going to do, or 2) he will do those things despite the fact that they are immoral or, 3) forcing people to eat their own children is moral. (BTW, compare Jeremiah to Exodus 11:5 where we know that God actually made good on his threat.)

But I didn't have to choose Jeremiah. I just picked that example for its shock value, and because it isn't widely known. There are dozens of other examples I could have chosen. Exodus 11:5, for example, where God actually does follow through (in Exodus 12:29). Or Deuteronomy 21:18-21 (disobeying your parents is a capital crime) or 22:28-29 (the penalty for raping an unwed virgin is 50 shekels).

But my point here is not to rehash the depravities of the OT, it is to make the point that logically there are only two possibilities: either our moral intuitions are reliable, or they are not. If they are reliable, then we don't need God as a moral guide, and if they are not reliable then we would expect any reliable source of moral guidance to be at odds with our moral intuitions (that's what it means to be unreliable). How can this not be the case?

For those inspired by "old cyclists", I encourage you to look at the sport of randonneuring.

TL;DR: randonneurs ride in timed, regulated road-coarse events that start at 200 km and work up to a traditional distance of 1200 km (and beyond). It's endurance cycling and ... the kicker ... it's full of "old" people (because they seem to have the wisdom and gumption to ride smart and long). In my local club, there are definitely young riders in their 20s and 30s but the most prolific riders are over 50 and the top two are gentlemen in their 70s. "Top" as measured by most events ridden in a year and most event mileage in a year. Their average speeds put young riders to shame more often than not.

Slow and steady wins the race, for values of "race" greater than 200 km. ;-) There are local clubs all over the USA, Canada, Europe, and everywhere.

Anyways, not everyone knows about the sport of randonneuring so I just wanted to share in the context of inspiration, no-age-limits cycling -- it dates back to the 1890s and I personally think its community and values are better than regular competitive road or mountain biking, having done all of the above. Ride safe.

Based on Google Trends, which is the source used in the paper, Facebook is only 43% as trendy now as it was at its peak in 2012. Compared to the past, Facebook is as trendy now as it was in 2009.

The irSIR model that was predicted by the paper is about 2 years off from where we are now (the "late" model is about 1.5 years off). Repeating the study with information up to today and the new prediction is that Facebook's Google Trends measure will drop below 20% within 2 years.

I have tried hybrid/cross-platfrom development route many times. It's not as rosy as it seems on paper. In terms of maturity there only 3-4 options out there and each of them have their own set of problems and gotchas.

Out the 3-4 mainstream ones, I am quite familiar with

Cordova / PhoneGap

Xamarin

The main problem that I see, is the lack of ecosystem support for both of these. For example, you want to use latest features of a third party SDK, you find out that they only have native libraries available. Then it falls on your plate to create the JS or C# wrappers for these native libraries. This calls for a specialist who has experience in writing these wrappers. There are not that many people who have experience with this. So it also ends up being expensive.

Another problem is that the "idea" / "visionary" people don't understand the limitations of the cross platform development. They keep coming up with user experience demands which don't really fit well in the cross platform sense. When you the programmer tell them that it's very time consuming to do it in the chosen technology, they refuse to understand and argue a lot citing examples from other popular apps. Most of these popular apps are from companies who are very well funded and have access to extraordinary programming talent. They undertake creation of custom components/frameworks as part of their app development. This is really not possible for small agencies / small startups.

In the end the cross platform approach always ends up making up some compromises. If the senior management of the product understands the compromises and is wiling to live with it only then it works out. Still from time to time, there are discussions about whether "right" technology was chosen when you find a limitation of the chosen approach which makes a new "groundbreaking" feature very expensive to implement.
