First, skunk works never refunded money to the government. There is at least one anecdote that they tried but the government accounting office had no way to receive the money back.

jayjay's initial comment was that the lack of PR was concerning, but then brings up a super secret facility that had no PR whatsoever as a counter example. The comparison just doesn't make sense.

But let's say that your claim is true, that skunk works communicated with their customer on a failed project. That still has no relation to a public announcement about a failed project. This was a self-funded project by Google, they are their own customer. The lack of PR about internal projects says nothing about their internal culture.
This causes people to press harder in reaction and then they are bouncing the person in front of them's head. It's comical if it's not happening to you.
I agree (and others do, too) that there should be a greater distinction between anthropological study of religion vs. theology - and it is argued by some that "religious studies" is more appropriate a classification of that than theology itself. I don't have too strong an opinion on the matter, personally, but still appreciate your clarification on what you meant. It's a muddy topic (as tends to be the case with anything surrounding religion).

I'm glad you mentioned this. There is a lot of interest these days in character-based machine translation, including several papers in review at ICLR. The current practical consensus (at least in OpenNMT) is that character-only models are not really worth the efficiency loss. A simple compromise is to use Byte-Pair Encoding as a preprocessing step in morphologically rich languages and allow the model to produce sub-word chunks. This is implemented in OpenNMT as a preprocessing option (see http://opennmt.net/Advanced).

Our 2013 Honda Accord needed several updates just for the radio to work reliably. You would go to change a channel, the screen would blank out and come back on with all presets set to 97.3. Of course, if you "rebooted" the car, they came back correctly.

And the lag when hitting a tough screen button, incredibly frustrating. I want my buttons!
I believe deployments should be described as declarative data, not as imperative code.

Declarative: can first be tested, verified, dry-run, and implemented in any language. salt (my preferred CM) has yaml data files that can be analyzed and verified long before any system command occurs, for example.

Imperitive: You don't know what it does unless you run it. You don't even know if it will execute without syntax error, especially in a dynamic language like bash (posixcube) or ruby (chef, et al).
I'm not sure what you mean by "volatile reaction". NaOH is not super dangerous but I wouldn't trust a DIYer with large quantities, since it's so alkaline. You can find out more online by just searching for "MSDS sodium hydroxide" and you'll find phrases like "very hazardous in case of skin contact".

A leak in some DIY setup would easily have horrific / disfiguring consequences.
So how does someone not connected to a university get access to all this essential knowledge? Subscribing as an individual to JSTOR, etc. is far too expensive (thousands per year, I believe) and complicated. I don't want the administrative burden of my own research library.

Alchemy was not about "cheap gold". It was the study of natural elements and transformation and purification of materials. It was a proto-science which later turned into mineralogy, chemistry and medicine. It was part science, part philosophy and part occultism.
I believe the problem is there, I just feel it is not a problem everyone has.

To help in a FOSS context: we are not yet ready to put out an SDK to the FOSS community, or to anyone really. That will wait until after our cloud environment is up - and a few more patents have been filed (the ISE exposes things we want to protect).

In the meantime, the most help would be to support existing microkernel operating system efforts such as L4 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L4_microkernel_family). The Mill will have a big impact on conventional OSs like Linux, but those suffer from built-in assumptions that open security holes and makes the OS a dog that the Mill can only train a little. The big win is in microkernels, which can take advantage of the Mill's tight security and ultra-fast context switching.

Or support languages that have central micro-thread concepts, such as Go https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(programming_language), for the same reason.

But whatever you do, don't tune the microkernels or microthreads for a conventional core; instead, do it right, and we'll be along to help eventually :-)
The law does give a pass for murder now. Just half the number it gave until a few years ago.
So it's really hard to argue that a company in this situation is morally responsible for the murder of some number of people. As that would be equivalent to saying that the government has decided how many people you can murder, perfectly legally, every year.
So unless you accept this, it's not murder.

It's weird that they presented the cards as standard PCE-E cards when the existing Mac Pro uses custom cards that don't have their own cooling manifold, but I don't think their intention was that there'd be connectors on the bottom you'd use.

Just like the current Mac Pro I'm sure they expect you'd use Thunderbolt or HDMI for display out. Those connectors are the same as on the existing Mac Pro, except this one has TB3 as well.
I don't think the mechanism you describe is particularly strong if the amount that can be borrowed is capped -- at least not beyond the price point of the cap.

Gotcha. I just noticed that the HN username matched the domain of the submission. When I read the up/down arrows on what I understood to be submissions (not comments), I specifically thought it wasn't HN given it has only up (and flag). That said, I'm not that familiar with other forums and am perhaps reading that part of the submission too closely.

Yes, cities have bigger uglier buildings everywhere.

They are not usually next to homes or blocking public parks.

A few disagreements with your analysis: AMP was given a wide spread announcement that generated an unusual amount of press. It was impossible to ignore. If page speed was such an important (and viable) solution, google could simply have announced they would more heavily favor sites that performed well.

Also, not supporting AMP is not a casual decision for some companies. My blog doesn't earn me revenue so i can happily tell google to pound sand before i support AMP. Can revenue-driven publishers due the same and sacrifice their SEO like that? I doubt it.

> Google caches taking page hits on popular topics instead of my server is a boon, not a hindrance

I simply cannot disagree with this more. Your most popular posts/topics are what generally drive the viewership and discovery of your site. I want those viewers. With AMP, they are looking at google, with a google URL, and a nice big "X" to close the window, never to see my site again. I don't see how this can be defensed at all. It is the exact opposite of what you are aiming for as a publisher, big or small.

Makes you wonder what the "software industry" will look like in 300 years.

Good ideas tend to split & bifurcate, until the original term is considered simply common sense and the parts people care about are individual subfields that were trivial when they started. Recall that "industry" used to refer to anything that was mass-produced in a factory, which, back in the 1820s, basically meant textiles. As the general techniques proved their worth, "industry" split into subfields, such that we got the "oil industry" and "steel industry" and "auto industry" and "aviation industry" and so on.

I think a similar process is happening with software, where the "software industry" is bifurcating into embedded software, social software, payment software, etc, much of it in support of an existing industry; "software is eating the world". I suspect that we're in the very early phases of this. In the early history of the industrial revolution, most industries were ways to produce existing goods (clothing, iron, tobacco, energy) dramatically more efficiently, much like how much software today is embedded in old-line industries' line-of-business apps. But starting around 1900, you started getting industries (electricity, aviation, pharmaceuticals) that were largely unrecognizable compared to their substitutes. You're seeing the very beginning of that now with specifically Internet- and cloud-based industries, but it likely has another century to go.
Not infinite, of course, but with enough. Last time I checked RAM usage was, let me think, 5 years ago?

So those monitors are required if you have 2GB RAM, no SSD and use poorly designed software - seems about right for a linux user, which cannot afford and OS.
>So instead we overregulate to the point where affordable car's can't exist furthering the divide between the rich and the poor.

affordable car doesn't have to be that big, luxury and that powerful. These years i'm driving Prius. Before that it was a large powerful RWD luxury sedan for many years. I've been enjoying both and both have been working fine for me.
As a student hoping to become a software engineer, I'm a little nervous about Googles aggressiveness towards applying ML across many of their products.

According to this [1], the 2015-16 estimated average residential winter heating bills for a propane user ( the highest ) was $2,569. The cost of this system is approximately equivalent to 7.8 years of heating costs. If this system saved 50% on the bill then it breakeven is about 15 years out. These numbers aren't too far from solar historically, if I recall correctly.

As someone who manufactures automotive test equipment, please apply a bit of Occam's razor. A lot of the "shady" stuff they're doing is just reducing and simplifying the cost of testing.

It would always be nice to run a more accurate, more real-world test. Certain Ford specs, for example, require multi-axis robot arms with independently mobile manikin forms to apply loads to the seats. Old Ford specs, and some current competitor specs, just have a hemispherical indenter that moves through a sinusoidal profile on a straight line at a fixed speed by an electric motor.

Hardware for the "realistic" test costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, plus about a man-year of expert engineering time by the test lab or a systems integrator to turn the robot arm into standards-compliant, turn-key test equipment. We're talking high-speed data aquisition, 3D modeling, CNC machining, user studies, and all that fun stuff. Checking that it works correctly requires high-speed cameras, pressure mats, and a lot of work.

The old-style test requires bit of steel, a few bearings, an on/off switch, an electrical counter or timer (that even an ME can wire up, and that's saying something!) and an electric motor for cost a few thousand dollars, and can be built by anybody with a welder and a few wrenches, maybe a machinist lathe and old Bridgeport mill if they want to get fancy. You can verify the correct operation with a pair of calipers, a stopwatch, and a gentle kick to make sure the bearings are still tight.

Or there are multi-million-dollar sled systems that throw assembled prototype vehicles at barriers to see how they break. I don't even want to get into the complexities of those. And a lot of what you measure there can be tested by chaining sub-components to a hydraulic ram and slowly tearing them apart to see what maximum force they can take.

The two systems produce roughly the same test results. In rare cases, there's an effect that the simple system misses that would be caught by the complex one. In my realm, thankfully, it would be difficult and pointless to design it to pass only the simple test. In many cases, it's not about honesty, it's about pragmatism. In this case, the fault lies not with the technology but with the intentional effort that the manufacturer went through to cheat the test.

> The book is the best book on the subject on how to do great technical things - but not by way of theory, but by of example.

The most pressing question is how well these techniques can be exported. Joel on Software gave us a great take on this quite a few years ago: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2001/01/18/big-macs-vs-the-na...

Basically, the best 'process' for a small team of smart, skilled people is for someone to hand them a blank check and a vague goal, and turn them loose for a few months. This is basically what Skunk Works did, and the results were exceptional.

With a bigger team, or a less brilliant team, or a team less skilled at execution, blank checks and no guidance is far more likely to produce overspending and wasted time. Six Sigma doesn't have a hope of improving efficiency over Skunk Works, but it was at least intended to provide a minimum efficiency better than "screwing up a lot".

The best cases are certainly hobbled by Process, but most of the world is too big and dysfunctional to match the best case. (None of which is to say that Skunk Works style projects are bad - I still think we need more of them. In particular, pseudo-startups without the time and fundraising pressure can be uniquely effective.)
Bingo. Measures of productivity got knocked down by massive inflation. Neither are measured directly, and they've negated each other. All we see is the shadow on the wall of the cave and presto "low inflation and low productivity." The Mises Institute is a great place to start studying this: https://www.mises.org/. I learned the mainstream economics way in undergrad. It's absurd and so full of hubris. The reason being that the most prestigious institution for economists is the Federal Reserve and they're able to keep almost everyone in line. That and public scientists don't actually have to be rigorous to be successful without the teacher of the market (though there are wonderful exceptions to be sure!). What I'm thinking about is, how can I exploit this? We don't know when productivity is going to take a break and yield run away inflation. Central Banks are starting to deflate, so you have to figure we'll start hearing about massive productivity gains. Where is the most misallocated? Certainly Sillicon Valley to some degree. Student loans seem to be the largest single misallocation, but the government backs them. So I suppose the banks will be the first to feel it and then the government. If the banks feel it then I guess it'll flow through commercial paper and real estate. It's just not clear to me how to hedge yet, but it's something I'm thinking about.

This is my experience, and I think a lot of (devout, conservative) theologians believe this -- although that definitely express it in different language! Look at critiques of seminary programs as being "too academic", for example. The "academic" subjects are basically anything and everything that doesn't over-lap with human psychology or business (apologetics and church history, for example).

The idea isn't to replace Dropbox. Hypergolix doesn't sync files, it syncs objects. That might seem like a small distinction, but when you're writing application code, it makes a big difference. For example, the second half of the sample app (which hasn't been written up yet, but has source on github [1]) uses a different object to remotely control the logging frequency on the server.

Rust is trying to solve well known problems. What is unique about rust is how it solves them. To emphasize that, what is required is a document that clearly explain how it's done and how the syntax of Rust is helping the cause.

Instead the tutorial is filled with printf! (Saying it's a macro. What is ! doing there? Why is it needed) and then &mut Str (I already noted Str is mutable, why do I need mut again). The tutorial comes across as very apologetic (using phrases like it's complex, will read later etc) instead of being confident about the issues being solved.

What I find lacking is a document that can explains quickly what is being solved, how it's being solved and general overview of the language. I don't know of any language that cannot do this. Nobody is picking Rust as the first language. One should just assume that people already know C/C++/Java etc coming to learn rust.

I will appreciate any links to help my Rust journey (please no books!).
Perhaps Google perhaps didn't understand quite how delicate certain community members are.

I'll tell you what Flickr isn't spending money or time on: Support.

I have a flickr pro account from 6 or so years ago with hundreds of photos on it. I've tried over 10 times over a year to contact their support and get turned over to Tech Support in India that won't even read into your case!

Of course, the original email address I used for my flickr was deleted, so none of the avenues on Yahoo Help (which is where they redirect you) work. Not to mention the password may be reset after all the leaks Yahoo had.

So when I see these people on @FlickrHelp on Twitter (No replies) and Flickr having office parties, it really makes me feel quite disappointed! Yeah sure, real human touch!

What are the incentives for workers to be more productive? Compensation tied to their productivity of course. As long as people are working on fixed salaries without significant equity, you can bet your ass that we're going to have "missing" productivity.
It's tricky to give you an exact answer. For translation, the minimal size we have been using is about 1 million aligned sentences, although people often report on smaller data. There are also lots of tricks to get around small dataset problem.

(1) You can pre-initialize your model with monolingual word embeddings. We recommend using the Polyglot embeddings which exist for many different languages. See http://opennmt.net/Advanced for details.

(2) You can train your model with a nearby language. For instance we have a model that uses data from all the Romance languages simultaneously.

(3) You can use monolingual data in other ways. For instance, if you are translating into English, you can combine with a standard language model or pretrain on the English data.

There are a bunch of other approaches in the literature, but these are some of the more common tricks.
