>The autonomous disposable paper drone flies like a glider, meaning it has no motor on board. It does have a small computer, as well as sensors that are programed to adjust the aircraft’s control surfaces, like on its wings or rudder, that determine where the aircraft will travel and land.

Does anyone have any experience developing for things like this? Reading this article it reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend about how "busy" the drone space might get, and how we spend (probably too much) time writing simple control scripts in kOS. How close is that to having real world applications?
That bump was written ambiguously / confusingly. I think parent comment met a $20k bump from $95k to $115k, not BS base + $95k–115k.
I've always bristled at the idea -- prevalent in Mac Evangelism going all the way back to the 1980s -- that I'm "corporate" and not "creative" because I create things like electronics, optics, embedded systems, and industrial controls, rather than newsletters and advertising.
Critical thinking is a piece of technology that evolved a lot since the Middle Age. I don't think Newton could do much better. If he wasn't at the leading edge on "critical thinking", he was very near it.

And that's something most people choose to ignore, that even "how to think" is something that evolves, and our current standards were created by many people improving on what came before them.
Cool, you should take a look at rasa_nlu (https://github.com/golastmile/rasa_nlu) as well, it's an open-source NLU solution.
If you want to stay focused and track your time I built Tomatoes[0]. It's a pomodoro technique timer and a time tracker. It's web based, it's completely free and open source[1]. I built it when I started freelancing and I was in need of both a tool that would have helped me to be productive and to track time that I spent on clients projects.

Yes it's a ridiculous statement.

I'm still using my MBA 11" from 2012 for everything. I have only 4GB RAM and it's not even a problem to work (I don't have 15 VMs running in background). :)) I have no idea when I'm going to change it and for what, but I have absolutely no desire to move back to Windows or Ubuntu.

And there is no way I move away from iOS. It works great for me. Plus, I use my iPhone 6 mostly for gaming and I've been buying games since the 3GS so I've a huge collection (including a bunch of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest titles that are quite expensive).

I refrained from posting the direct assembly, as without the talk the smearx and pick would be meaningless.

If you also look a bit further into the talk they show the 'remaining' instruction, which allows you to do this same thing with fixed-count loops.
I honestly don't know except from my experience that the goal is to keep the fund as low cost as possible: invest in a bunch of companies early, invest in follow-on rounds over next couple of years, and otherwise keep overhead down.

The funds I'm in don't take board seats, though they do offer access to its network of investors and contacts to the companies it invests in. Different funds are run different ways. The GPs of the funds I'm in do not do this as their primary job, other funds have principals (GPs or other forms of partners) who draw their income from the funds in one way or another.

Other considerations: the funds have a limited lifespan (I believe each of the three I'm in are 10 year limited partnerships with an option to extend by simple majority vote of LPs). Because they're limited partnerships, the returns get reported as income to the IRS, and I'd owe taxes on them, even if they were not distributed, which is another reason not to re-invest returns (if the returns were re–invested, you could potentially pay taxes on income which then gets "lost" when re–invested in a startup which fails).

I commented elsewhere in this thread that so far across three funds we're seeing the 33% fail, 33% break even (modest returns) and 33% either have returned the fund or have potential to do so, which is a pattern I've seen repeated by many venture funds over the years I've been following or investing in them.
That's definitely concerning. Makes you wonder how well secured our other emergency/critical systems really are.

Asymmetric encryption solves the problem of transmitting the password safely ("solve" is a rather optimistic word, maybe "delegates" is more appropriate); if you can safely transfer passwords from point to point, then using symmetric encryption is far easier.
More accurate to say, I think, that the Mill is a VLIW with certain hardware facilities to overcome the traditional weaknesses of those - code density and variable memory latency. The solution to conditional branches is exactly the same for VLIW as for Superscalar machines: use a branch predictor. And VLIWs can tolerate a slightly worse branch predictor since they tend to have shorter pipelines.

EDIT: To explain a bit more, VLIW has historically worked great in cases like DSP workloads where the memory access patterns are very predictable and you aren't unexpectedly loading things from lower level caches very often. There's anther thread on HR right now about doing deep learning with a Hexagon, which is a sort of VLIW, and it works very well. But as soon as you miss L1 in a VLIW the whole thing comes to a stop, whereas in an OoO (Out of Order) processor you can keep executing subsequent instructions that don't depend on that load and so you don't have to stall. Basically every instruction that isn't a load has deterministic or at least hard bounded latency that the compiler can easily plan for.

The other big disadvantage of VLIW is that sometimes you have stretches of code where you can only have one useful instruction at a time. VLIWs often use very RISCy encoding formats that still take up lots of space per bundle in these stretches, leading to potentially very low code density. The Mill gets around with a very CISCy encoding that only takes a small amount of I-cache size for single instructions.
How do you know that each array index will succeed, without a proof (or type) to that effect? You don't. You're arguing from the technical definition of path coverage (cases that are machine-generated "don't count"), but I'm arguing from "actually covering the behavior of your program," which means they absolutely do. You're also assuming that the behavior on failure will always be a crash, which isn't even close to being the worst kind of failure from an array index that returns something unexpected.

This isn't the case on all Plex clients. I know on the Roku, you just have to hit the gear for stream settings and can change it mid-stream. I vaguely remember encountering something like this on the Android client and being really annoyed by it, but I don't use Plex on my phone very often so hasn't been a big deal for me. (and maybe there's a way around it?)
Beefy gaming pc on all the time probably uses as much electricity as a major household appliance and it sounds like you're out of reasons to run it 24/7. Even if you're not paying the bill the environment probably is so I'd just turn it off.

We should stop arguing that AT&T should be legally barred from doing something with the data it has access to

That's what's so insidious.

You enable amp, like maybe you started using png over just gifs - and then Google takes your search hits hostage by rewriting the url, adding a banner - and forcing you to keep the amp version if it turned out to fit you and your users or not.

The amp spec looks friendly and harmless - a good use of html5's flexibility. On the surface the only odd bit is the reliance of js to get the "new" image tags to work (with resulting reduced flexibility wrt Web user agents, like w3m).

And suddenly Google controls your page design for everyone that finds your site through Google!
Oregon State has a reputable online CS post-bach degree for those who've already finished undergrad but want to go back.
This is invalid since nothing in the compiler forces you to remove the .unwrap() so it's safe to assume it will not be done before production.
The whole "but this is just for prototyping" is a logical fallacy, as you know we have tons of prototypes in production ;)
> but it's in things that aren't necessarily obvious to the end user until there's decent levels of adoption by developers

Which ironically doesn't happen until browsers agree on innovation.
Yes indeed. For example they add the current year and month and keep the same "base password" which is unsafe.
What you say is often true, however there are a number of places that will shitcan your resume if it doesn't have an advanced degree on it. For example SpaceX, but there are others, often in technical fields.

Also, hang in there. The degree may not have helped your current job as much as you'd like, but it may help more at a future company. Sadly we often need to change jobs to get a real salary bump.
Thanks for the correction, and I've updated my original comment to note the same.

Interestingly, I went looking for this information, including skimming that FAQ section. This disparity between online and traditional degrees awarded is common, so I'm surprised (or maybe biased is a better term) that GT uses this "informal designation" everywhere, including phrases like: "... Online Master of Science in Analytics (OMS Analytics) degree will be available..."
I just liked his comparison. We have plenty of better sources than Peter Thiel though.
I've been building https://www.findlectures.com, and have ~400 people on an email list and a few hundred people a day use the site, primarily from having articles written about the project on TNW / Lifehacker.

Some observations:

* I work directly with a couple end users who really like the project, which gives much better feedback than posting on reddit, etc

* Build features that help more technical users (in my case, facets for programming languages)- people who come from HN / twitter give better feedback, write better tickets, and are more able to tell others if they like the app

* As far as promotion, I've had success with HN comments, guest posts on dev.to, and the startups reddit. All three have exposed the app to people with much larger audiences.

* The email lists Cooper Press manages are good to write for, because they pick up a lot of their content from niche subreddits.

* People who write articles about you rely heavily on material you've posted about yourself / your project (either on your own site, or in comments here).

* Some Simple UI features communicate what your project does better than verbal explanations (e.g. for a search engine, help text that shows example searches for different features)

* Any articles you write you can re-purpose in emails you send out, or vice-versa, so the time you spent doesn't get wasted if one approach doesn't work

* There is a compelling psychological benefit to posting a project on reddit (etc) in comments - every time I do, I think of some minor way I could improve the project. This is a bit like code reviews, where the pressure of showing someone your work makes you do a better job.

* Broadening the scope of what you can do gives you a lot more to talk about publicly. E.g. you might not be an expert in AI, but if you do a couple experiments on a dataset you have, you can participate in all those forum threads.

"most high end cpu" there is nothing high end about the cpu...
This is unbelievable. The first line says:

"Pharmaceutical giant CVS announced Thursday that it has partnered with Impax Laboratories to sell a generic epinephrine auto-injector for $109.99 for a two-pack—a dramatic cut from Mylan’s Epipen two-pack prices, which list for more than $600 as a brand name and $300 as a generic."

It seems that Mylan, the owner of the Epipen brand, was getting criticized about their outrageous prices [1] so they put out a "generic" version of their own product. Unless I'm missing something, that means that until now, the company that makes the brand name drug and artificially inflates the price (and blames it on insurance companies) also made the only generic version of the product. Given that it's the same company making the brand name and the generic, I assume that they must be equivalent products (am I missing something?), so they are literally just charging an additional $300 for the brand. Why would any patient or insurance company in their right mind pay for the brand name in this case? (this question can be asked more widely about brand name vs generic drugs... but in this case, it has literally been the same company making them. So it's hard to claim that there's even a minor difference, unless the company specifically manufactured them differently, which seems unlikely. For example, some generic drugs could have the same active ingredients, but absorb differently [2]. But it's hard to imagine that being the case for an injection).

In any case, it's nice to see that a true competitor is finally entering this market.

In my first semester I took:

- CS7450: Information Visualization. Basically learned how to create useful data visualizations. Loved this class

- CSE 6242: Data and Visual Analytics. This class is interesting because you learn a very wide breadth of tools. We learned visualization (D3), big data processing (hadoop), and analytic tools (random forests for example). This was my favorite class so far

- ISYE 6414: Regression Analysis. The theoretical math parts of this class were really hard for me, but learning how to do practical regression analysis in R was super valuable to me.

- ISYE 6644: Simulation. Loved the professor for this class (Dr. Goldsman) but the material didn't seem very useful to me. Knowing the general approach of simulation for modeling is useful, but we went pretty deep into the math that I don't think will be useful in the long run

- ISYE 8803: Intro to Analytics. This was the most practical class I took and was taught by the head of the program. You basically learn all of the analytical models for the first 2/3s of the class, then in the last third you look at case studies and how to apply them.

Hopefully there's enough detail in there for you, let me know if you have any other questions

Even just the people flying to conferences to talk about it, even just youtubers doing that destroys a whole lot. And then there's the pollution costs of going to work and heating the work place, running the machines, and so on. Though that doesn't have to be that way, and if you just consider energy, using that for stuff can also simply mean not letting energy the sun throws at us anyway go unused.

No, we don't HAVE to destroy and make go extinct in order to thrive, however, currently we do that, and we shove the costs on the less fortunate and future generations. If that weren't true, we could point fingers at people who say that maybe, just maybe Carlin was right and we're just a virus with shoes, and call them nihilists. For now, let's not use their overshooting the goal as a fig leaf for not even shooting for that goal.

I can't deny it, it was my first thought too, "maybe it just means that more people are catching on".. I mean who and what exactly are we working for? Why do we need more and more, to compete more and more against each other? Can we rethink that just a little? As the quote by Lily Tomlin goes, the trouble with the rat race is, even if you win, you're still a rat; if the only use for capital is to produce more capital, ad infinitum, what's the point? If everybody is just reacting to supposed necessities, and not acting anymore, you don't even need to look towards single cell organisms, even a river can do that. And we even talk about "AI" as some sort of black box that will sort everything out (who knows how, that's the point of it being smarter than us after all). What has to be destroyed to create that is intellectual honesty and maybe access to the full range of human emotions. For starters.

But yes, this is bikeshedding. I know nothing about the subject on the level of the article, but it reminds me of chips on my shoulder. And though I also disagree with it the way it is put, I agree with the heart of the sentiment. We don't just need to work smarter so we make better use of the resources and time we have, but also produce smarter with that productivity. Though I don't have an answer either, just complaints and grievances. But it's also wrong to dismiss those because there is no answer for them yet - the dismissal plays a role big in them not having been answered yet. A justified criticism that is not constructive is still worlds better than not even that.

That's only while it's in development. Obviously, once ready, the toolchain will be available publicly. They can't release it now, though, because not all of their patents have been accepted.
Definitely. They'd have to develop something entirely new to do it, which I bet would cost more than just doing a quad socketed system to get all the lanes.

Apple could have done what sonos is doing. I was waiting for apple to improve on airplay and let me hook up all my stuff over apple stuff. I got the apple tv, the time capsule, the macbook pro, and I got my wife a macbook, iphone, and ipad. Why doesn't this shit conveniently work together? Why is my wife now saying we need to throw out our high end speakers and get all sonos stuff to fix our mess of an AV system? I got her every damn apple product that exists. My favorite part of apple tv was the screensavers but they can't even keep those updated in a timely manner. I'm done buying apple stuff.

I'm speaking from the point of view of opportunity costs.

For learning computer graphics programming through ray tracing something like Peter Shirleys "Raytracing in one weekend" and then onwards to Pharr, Jakob and Humphreys "Physically based rendering" would be a much better learning path. OpenGL and real time graphics are another beast entirely and to learn those well you must preferably work in the industry for a while (mainly because it's a fairly deep topic and you need professional level enthusiasm to progress much).

For hobbyist programmers Unity is a much better platform to get familiar with real time rendering than just taking the Red Book. I tried the Red Book route long time ago without much other domain understanding of computer graphics - not really the best way to move forward.

And yeah, I was familiar wirh Povray at that point and frankly - that knowledge did not help me much.
The HRE probably had the best claim next to the Byzantines to being the true successors to Rome, but of course in the US they were a lot more interested in the Roman republic than the dominate.

I wouldn't say Semantic Web really has much to do with SEO per-se, although Google, Yahoo, etc. do use embedded RDFa, Microdata and Microformats information as part of their indexing and ranking in some fashion. It's really more about providing meaningful, well, semantics, for "stuff" on the web. In the full vision of the semantic web which includes inference and what-not, it allows you to ask more interesting questions, because you have "knowledge" about the relationships between entities.

For example, imagine Wikipedia using Semantic Web technologies (which they do to some extent, and also considering dbPedia which is kind of a side project). Now imagine you want to find, say, all the capital cities of countries in Africa. Now you might get lucky and find that somebody has already compiled that list. But if not, you'd have to manually trawl through the list of countries in Africa, and find the capital city for each, and note it down. But if each country is semantically related to its continent, and countries have properties for things like capitalCity, then you could compose one relatively simple SPARQL query and find that exact list in a few seconds.

There's actually more to it than that, but that's one example of what the SemWeb is about.
