It's ok, AT&T has been aggressively rolling out their fiber service in San Antonio the past year and it's quite good!

Same $70/mo, no data mining, no data caps, no equipment rental fee...and a cool 930-940 Mbps bi-directional...I'm happy :)

I think it's an honest question, even though it's controversial and attracts downvotes. (I noticed your question is in gray right now.) In my mind, it's a question of a "big enough difference" in a day-to-day-like mode of thinking. Since I'm not a biologist I'm only using my own version of how I think of it.

I personally think of the concept of species, etc., as "shades of gray" that change depending on the lighting. (If that makes sense.)

Look at the huge differences in dog breeds, for example. If I didn't know better I would think some dogs are a completely different class of animal when compared. (Think chiwawas and german shepherds, in their visual appearance.)

Sometimes I think of my dog as a person. Other times, not so much. Is it political? I think some people could make some sort of (weak) argument for that; in how I allocate resources to my dog, and why I do it. Why I even keep a dog around.

Also depends on how you'd define politics; how broadly and deeply. In this case I think your question it's a very interesting one, if we were to imagine running into a fresh population of neanderthals I bet there would be political ramifications between groups!
So a social network? weird name for a social network.
Yup. It doesn't address the question of how many chemicals are in cannabis smoke, and how many of those are cancer-causing. That's a distinct question from "does smoking cannabis cause cancer." Aspartame is a carcinogen but Diet Coke does not cause cancer.
Pretty much this. It is designed and developed by people that seems to think that RH's take on rc.d was the be all, end all of scripted init.
>But part of me can't help but wish Nintendo would just straight up compete with Sony and Microsoft. //

Surely though if you want that experience you can buy a PS4/Xbone/PC. Personally I'm really happy that Nintendo continues to give a different twist to their consoles and provide some texture to the market.
Eh, like the other commenter said, you get used to it.

Everything in life is a compromise in one way or another. Using journalctl instead of less? That took me about 5 minutes to commit to memory, and then...that's it.

I don't even think twice anymore about using one command or another to read the contents of the log.
i wonder if they considered decompressing on the client. not that it's a great way especially on mobile, but i was curious how numbers played out :)
Their "current" mobile offerings are the Tegra K1 or the X1. The upcoming SoC is the Tegra P1.

- Tegra K1 is used in the NVIDIA Shield Tablet/TV, Nexus 9, and two Chromebooks.

- Tegra X1 is in the Google Pixel C and NVIDIA's SHIELD Android TV.

- Tegra P1 or a variant is rumored to be powering the Nintendo Switch
We found that NFS did not have this bug and file lists open instantly, maybe a solution to the issue?
Why did you bring that up? I had already blocked that memory... D:
Comparing the N64 and PSX is painful on many levels, I've always found the polygon tearing effect on the PSX extremely distracting and off-putting visually. (This artifact is an apparent result a lack of floating point support[0])

However the massive size of disc based PSX games vs N64 carts yielded visual variety that we just didn't get on the N64.

Not to mention the music, although N64 Tetrisphere's amazing music by Neil Voss was actually implemented as an interpreted mod track composed in FastTracker complete with samples. Such a good game.

I wouldn't call that 'ridiculously far'—it's "only" a 3x difference ;) The SuperFX GSU-1 clocked at 21MHz; the N64's RCP is 62.5MHz. (There's also an order-of-magnitude CPU power differential, but Mario 64 didn't use the CPU for much anyway.)

Now, given that the SuperFX's lifetime was short and its capabilities were likely never fully explored/exploited in that lifetime; and given that the SNES's on-cart coprocessors could completely override the console processor and just bang bits onto the video-output lines themselves (like the Super Gameboy does!); and given that the only thing stopping devs from sticking even more powerful chips into carts was cost (and even then, some producers just didn't care, and stuck ridiculous ARM7 cores into games like Megaman X3 for no useful reason at all...), I really do believe you would have seen something very much like Mario 64 for the SNES if it had lived just one more year.

(Heck, I bet that we know enough about the hardware today that someone from the demoscene could pull off a Mario-64-alike on a cycle-accurate SNES (with SuperFX) emulator. That'd be a fun competition.)
Who is in line for a buyout before other investors and at what multiplier? That information is usually not public and can be more important than what percentage of ownership a particular investor has.

They bought rdio. A service that was regarded by many, including me, as the best streaming service, certainly better than Spotify and with a thriving, enthusiastic community of music lovers - even today I still can't comment on or discuss albums, playlists and songs with others in Spotify, which is a social graveyard.

And then they shut it down.

Systemd isn't an init system, it's a service (a.k.a daemon) management daemon. Its primary purpose is to restart and diagnose failing daemons cleanly.

Systemd won for one simple reason: it's the only tool that accomplishes this task without bugs. We've been running daemontools for almost a decade in production, and it's a nightmare of bugs. Very glad to be finally switching to systemd.

So they are pretty much becoming a one console company. This is a huge gamble given how successful the portables have been.
How come Nintendo keeps having to completely reinvent itself every couple of years? They go from being on the verge of bankruptcy to a hit then back again. It seems like one tiny misstep and they're done. Microsoft is still spending accrued value from the 90's after tons of mistakes, why doesn't Nintendo have an easier life?
More and more systemd is becoming symptomatic of deeper divide within the Linux "community".

The split being between those that embraced Linux for being a free, in both senses, _nix unburdened by AT&T and running on commodity hardware, and those that got to know it after the dot-com crash as the L in LAMP.

The former cares for Linux as a _nix, the latter could not care less about _nix and may see it as a vestigial appendage that should have been amputated long ago.
OpenRC is still more difficult to write init scripts for than systemd; and offers less flexibility in scheduling inits. For example, I can add a 'before' clause to a custom systemd service unit, and I don't need to modify the subsequent units to depend on my custom unit. This is especially useful when you want a custom forking or oneshot service to reliably run before a standard service shipped with a package in your distro.

In a similar vein, systemd targets are considerably more useful than sysv/OpenRC runlevels. A typical sysadmin can read a couple paragraphs of manpage and set up a new target (analogous to runlevel) in systemd; and it can be used for debugging or recovery in the same fashion that runlevels are in other init systems.

On top of this, there are powerful system services developed in tandem with systemd, in the same repository, which offer well-integrated standard alternatives to things which were superficially different on ever distro only four years ago.

Nintendo has had the 'not many games' story for decades. Third party titles have rarely been a big part of the story for Nintendo. They still have in excess of $1mm in revenue per employee last time I checked.

And, if you subtract minecraft on Xbox, my kids spend 95% of their non-mobile gaming time on Wii U. No third party title time.

At any rate, I'm guessing it's when not if Switch will hit our house. Maybe I can hide it in my bag for a while before they find it. :)
The different game modes introduced through the hardware, namely the gamepad, seem quite revolutionary to me. Who else has been doing that (other than Nintendo with DS to some extent)?

See the field of AGI.

Networks on top of other networks -- about any recursive neural network could be in that category. Also there are multiple projects exploring metalearning on deep NNs where it learns the network topology, i.e. learning how to learn.

Abstraction in single domains is very commonly achieved with various types of hierarchy in NN and non-NN systems. Correlation between different domains has fewer examples simply because most AI systems do not deal with multiple domains, but they do exist.

Feedback loops are common and fundamental to AI and simpler non-AI control systems.
A Raspberry Pi might do it as well (at least for the likes of us.)

I'm just worried about Nintendo. They had some money troubles a couple of years (?) ago and I'm not sure this thing is going to fix it.

> which is just as preposterous as Al Gore inventing the internet.

The difference is that Gore never claimed to have invented the internet, that's just a dishonest characterization of his true statements and his actual accomplishments by GOP opponents of his during the 2000 campaign.

Gore had promoted high-speed telecommunications as an important breakthrough since the 1970s and worked for decades to make that vision a reality. He did craft several pieces of legislation with the actual ARPAnet engineers who were inventing the internet to expand public access. He also was responsible for the 'Gore Bill', which is probably the most important piece of legislation tied to the proliferation of the internet. Among other important facets, it funded the research institute at Univ. of Illinois that brought Andressen together with the rest of the eventual Mosaic team that would create Netscape.
Ask HN: Laid off today for the first time, anything to be wary of? Advice?
Hello HN, posting under a throwaway since I've been around for quite a while.

Long story short, I got laid off this morning for the first time ever (without cause). The reason for the termination was cited as an internal re-org. Truth be told I was planning on quitting at 3pm during my bi-weekly one-on-one with the CTO, so I'm taking it in stride/happy.

I've worked here just under a year. The company is paying me 4 weeks salary as severance, with medical benefits ending 1 week after pay ends. This is contigent upon my signing a release which essentially ensures I maintain confidentiality and prevents me about the company publicly, due one week today.

Just posting to ask if there's anything I should be wary of, and if there's any advice from people who've been through a similar situation, thanks!
Having come from a similar background, I can offer you these suggestions -

1. The level of programming taught in Indian universities is not enough. Writing a sort program is quite different from writing good, maintainable OOP code. Apart from working in a good company, one way to develop this skill (which I feel is critical) is to look and contribute to good open source projects - elasticsearch, spark, etc. Unfortunately I don't know of any good books which teach this overall, apart from specific aspects like Effective Java.

2. Another aspect that I feel is missing in Indian universities is challenging assignments. I would have liked to write my own toy OS to learn systems, or toy kafka to learn distributed systems. The more core computer science fundamentals you master now (preferably through writing code along with learning theory), the better an engineer you will be later.

3. Another aspect that is lacking is the way to reason through things. Indian universities have a third-person approach on the lines of "the experts do things this way so we will just do it this way", on the contrary in a US university the reasoning is more on the lines of "we use to do X, that had Y limitations. So we moved on to Z, now your assignment is to design an extension to Z (say Z+) which solves YY limitation". Unfortunately, I don't know what can be done to improve the way we reason about things.

4. Don't forget to explore different areas. I started with computer graphics, moved on to compilers, then app development, then data engineering, then infrastructure development, then back to data engineering.
Try looking at it the other way, this isn't the next wiiU trying to compete with sony and MS. This is the next 3DS which also supports big screen gaming. Nintendo is bringing their strengths (mobile and third party mobile support) into the arena they've been struggling with on and off since the SNES era.
We don't have a simple separation of concerns like that. Brain and DeepMind share a common vision around advancing the state of the art in machine learning in order to have a positive impact on the world. Because machine intelligence is such a huge area, it is useful to have multiple large teams doing research in this area (unlike two product teams making the same product, two research teams in the same area just produces more good research). We follow each other's work and collaborate on a number of projects, although timezone differences sometimes make this hard. I am personally collaborating on a project with a colleague at DeepMind that is a lot of fun to work on.

Disclosure: I work for Google on the Brain team.
Here's an alternative to wrapping GPG, using .gnupg/gpg.conf:

cert-digest-algo SHA256

s2k-cipher-algo AES256
s2k-digest-algo SHA256
s2k-mode 3
s2k-count 65011712

disable-cipher-algo 3DES
weak-digest SHA1

Note that these options impact compatibility with other GPG/PGP clients.
Having an agent with sensory and motor terminals in diverse contexts gradually trained on increasingly complex knowledge and tasks is key I believe. Like I mentioned see Deep Mind's work. Also see field of AGI which does exist (for example search 'AGI-16 intelligence' on youtube).

Technically you could almost do that with spinning disks. I've seen chassis that do 60 3.5" drives in 4U.

With 10TB drives that could be 6PB or more in a single rack.

For original photo storage which is primarily write once w/ rare if ever deletes and infrequent reads, you could potentially get by with PMR drives, further reducing the cost.
I think that's because they make hardware. Apple would also die soon if they stopped putting new hardware out. Since Moore's law is screeching to a halt now, hardware companies might catch a break (or get into real trouble) soon.

Nintendo and arguably Microsoft simply can't compete with Sony right now.

Sony is dominating the high end, exclusive game market. The Last of Us, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid and coming up in 2017: Horizon Zero Dawn, Death Stranding etc. All of these push the console to the limits and show just how superior the PS4 hardware is over its competitors.

Nintendo isn't really suited anyway. Their games are arguably better cel-shaded and cartoon-like. And so why not appeal to the less hardcore, graphics obsessed gamers. There's far more of them after all.

Authors are Paul and Anne Ehrlich, authors of the famous 1968 book "The Population Bomb" [1].

From early editions of that book: "The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate."

Fortunately they were wrong, at least in their timing.

From their new article: "Environmental problems have contributed to numerous collapses of civilizations in the past. Now, for the first time, a global collapse appears likely. Overpopulation, overconsumption by the rich and poor choices of technologies are major drivers; dramatic cultural change provides the main hope of averting calamity."

How to Choose the Right Payment Gateway for Your Online Store?
The Sims had to dumb down the AI, because the autonomy algorithm for deciding what to do next in the absence of player input was based on dynamically scoring every possible interaction.

But if the characters always autonomously chose the best interaction, then almost anything the player told them to do would distract them from their perfect AI driven routine, and effectively make their lives less efficient and more miserable.

So instead of picking the top scoring action to do next, it fuzzed their behavior by picking randomly from the top several actions, making them less compulsive and more whimsical, and giving the player more opportunities to have a positive effect on their lives, instead of being a negative influence.

Then again, some people would prefer to play The Sims that way, by bringing them down like they're wearing a turtleneck and a backpack all day, messing up their otherwise perfectly balanced idealistic lives by acting as Satan instead of as God, more like Afterlife and Dungeon Keeper!
For the right price I'm okay. I paid Netflix for an account but they use my data to train their algorithm and enhance their product. I don't know all the details behind their work. Am I not trading their privacy? Do I really know if they aren't selling my data my preference with another partner? Do I want to pay $$ for social network? I have to weigh what justifies cost for me; most of my friends won't pay for an account for Facebook, and because I enjoy having an online social network with my real life friends, I am okay for as long as Facebook doesn't sell my name to advertiser (they can track my browser history for sure and I know they do). I accept the risk and I keep a close eyes on my online activity so nothing backfires on me.

The big way they are figuring out how to repurpose old compounds that fell out of the pipeline is by using biomarkers.

We are now much more equipt at finding biomarkers, generally through gene sequencing. Drugs that failed, often failed because they were applied to an entire population of a disease (ie multiple sclerosis). Now, we can subset the MS population by different biomarkers and test just that small subset for efficacy.

While testing anyone that happens to have MS would show a massive failure rate, testing 5% of the population that has specific biomarkers, we may be able to show a huge increase in efficacy and thus the drug would be approved for MS patients that fit the exact bio marker profile.
