I'm not sure I fully buy the "explainability" argument against deep learning since our goal is human level intelligence and human intelligence isn't easily explained either.

On the other hand, we're nowhere near human level intelligence in most tasks (Go, Poker and image classificaiton non withholding) so I can understand the argument for explainability from a practical perspective. I think we're making some good progress in that direction though, and I'll list them below:

1) Attention maps in CNNs can tell us what the net is usually looking at.

2) "Attentive Explanations" use attention mechanisms to point to the object of interest to generate an explanation for VQA tasks, check the paper (warning PDF): https://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.04757

3) A recent project used a similar explanation mechanism that forced the network to output "what it was thinking" while playing an Atari game.

4) NTMs (neural turing machines) allow weighted memory access, which alleviates the back box issue to some extent.

Ask HN: Is there a way of identifying a font from a picture?
I know there are tools like WhatFont that can identify fonts used on a website, but that's using javascript and css to figure it out. I have a designer that did some artwork for me and he keeps evading the question of what font and colors were used and while i can use the eyedropper tool in photoshop to figure out the colors from the images he has supplied, figuring out the font is proving to be really hard. I figured that maybe with the increase in AI and things like that, there might be a tool out there that can figure it out?

The Rust regex library is written by the same guy who wrote ripgrep. I'd be surprised if it didn't run circles around boost::regex.

Alternatively, some tribes filtered more dangerous mushrooms through reindeer and then drank the urine. I'd guess that would be possible in a lab today.

Just because something is synthesized doesn't make it inferior, safer, more dangerous, merely different.

Yes, copyright/patent infringement (depending on the exact details).

But there are circumstances that might mitigate how the public (and perhaps law) feels about that, eg, if company B bought a copy of the software and slightly modified it to work on a new operating sysem, then sold just the changed version.
"Disingenuous" is unfair. But symbolic, certainly. What this is really about, what I'm getting at, is that this is being done because no one actually gives a shit about the tribes, except the tribes. The state is more or less free to steal from the tribes, or endanger them. If anything of value is found in whatever land they have left, it's taken from them.

So this is symbolism. Standing in front of a bulldozer and saying "NO" is all they have left.
Exactly. 25 years later, I'm still waiting to be replaced by an Expert System. A lot of the tech that fueled the hype train (logic programming! genetic algorithms!) is still really neat, but it didn't work out the way we expected. Same thing will happen with ML. It's the Prolog of tomorrow.
Frankly I would have expected most R's to vote for the confirmation of R cabinet nominations. One needn't invoke complicated rhetorical scenarios to explain such an action.

Some reportage of confirmation hearings might have left the impression that this particular nominee is some unhappy amalgamation of Satan, Brandine Spuckler, and Richie Rich as interpreted by Robot Chicken. That seems pretty unlikely! Probably this is a simple political disagreement, filtered through whatever media process maximizes those clicks and eyeballs.
If you were interested in performance you probably would not have been using boost::regex to begin with. RE2 is often an order of magnitude faster. You might choose boost if you require backtracking, but that's crazy anyway due to exponential time.
It's not NP (whatever that means) if you're allowed to change the API instead of just inserting checks at each call.

Besides, Javascript doesn't really need driver support to intercept function calls...
Because the general public at large is not the one suffering from copyright violation? The affected parties are the ones that should be polled; but I agree that we might not agree on who is really affected.
Yes, I think that's the key distinction. Kodi is available (for example) in the Play Store so selling a box with it pre-installed is not illegal. However, if you go the extra step and include the piracy add-ons and (potentially) a subscription IPTV service then you've overstepped the line.

Ask HN: What C++ parallelization framework do you use?
There seems to be a huge selection of parallelization frameworks for C++ to choose from. Help me choose! I want to write threaded code in C++ without a lot of extra code (basically I want something simple to code but with the power of threads). I looked at TBB, OpenMP Tasks, Kokkos, C++11 threads, RaftLib, FastFlow, and several others. Seems like like Kokkos, RaftLib and FastFlow get away with the least boilerplate code but they all seem rather early stage. Kokkos looks like it'll do GPGPU which is cool but not necessarily a requirement. Googling turns up lots and lots of frameworks. Is there anything more mature out there? I like using Go and feel like there should be something similar to channels/pipelines C++. TBB looks like it could be used for this (and is mature) but it seems like its a lot more work/clunkier than the other frameworks. I could do it myself with boost, but again...lots of boilerplate code. There doesn't seem to be a perfect option.

All opinions welcome, thank you!

Most ballots are not cast by direct electronic voting: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/08/on-election-...

An overlooked alternative is to:

1) Reduce your burn rate.
2) Save up enough money to live off of for a year.
3) Bootstrap your startup off your savings.

I am going to make a guess that many of the strongest startups will be produced from this procedure.

Getting funding, from YC or elsewhere, has a way of changing your startup in a way that makes it much less likely to succeed. They have said so in fact -- they want you to fail quickly.

I agree, but still Go can be usable in quite a few scenarios.

Sure it has quite a spartan type system and I would rather use something else for my own work.

On the other hand, as an ex-Oberon user I am aware of many use cases that Go can easily fulfil and like to make people aware of it, more Go less C is good.
He likes computers, he even likes AI. He doesn't buy into Ray Kurzweil's ideas about singularity [0,1]. He also (as I understand) is in Chomsky school of statistical learning as opposed to Peter Norvig (or Google) school [1,2]. Those two are highly unpopular stances to have these days, so I can see how that can be confused with not liking computers/AI.

If you read GEB, you can see in different chapters that he is a big fan of computers, simulations, attempts at AI, and the such.

I've been searching for a solution to this as well. Our Slack holds an amazing amount of information, but it's really difficult to curate that information efficiently.

It'd be cool to highlight a piece of information and insert it into a wiki-style site.
"Radical wealth redistribution from the needy to the rich is a far right idea, and that's what the negative income tax will boil down to in practice."

The term wealth redistribution is generally understood as wealth going from the rich to the poor and is a "left" idea[1]. And even it it is not, I cannot think of a (sane) negative income tax system that can be described as wealth going from the poor to the rich.

But you seem worried that a student is different from an elderly, and to give both negative income, the elderly will be worse off than in a system like today? All I can say is that nothing in what was described so far implies that. If you have special needs, you might be eligible to more negative income tax.

"there is not enough money to give every adult citizen the equivalent of social security"

Sure there is, because a 125[2] of the 240 have a job, those who earn little, might still get some money from tax, those who make medium pay a some tax, those who make a lot, pay a lot of tax. But it will imply more tax on the rich, both income and wealth. (Though nothing ridiculous.)

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redistribution_of_income_and_w... first line "Redistribution of income and redistribution of wealth are a concept of socialism"

[2] https://www.statista.com/statistics/192361/unadjusted-monthl...

Why I am in favor (of UBI or NIT)? I cannot be described as a right wing, nor as rich. And any reduced administrative overhead would be nice, but not a goal per se.

But giving more money to those without a job, or low income jobs, has a few advantages:

1. economically speaking, money to those who have little represents more wealth, and will be spend in the market

2. a shrinking economy, means even more pressure on low incomes jobs, and less who have an income at all, that shrinks the market, and shrinks the economy, NIT can work like a buffer

3. low income people have no power on the labor market, a NIT or UBI gives them more power, with room to switch jobs, or go back and study

And a last one, but this depends a bit per country/state, people are usually eligible for benefits or not. Some of those tests are income earned, or money in the bank. So when people are almost eligible, but have too much money saved, they buy an expensive car and become eligible. Or you refuse a job, because the pay is not that much more then their benefits, but suddenly they have to work 40 hours a week and commute, etc.

Especially a NIT makes sure that these things are always a line, never yes/no. Made some money? You get to keep that, and most of your NIT benefits.
No. I need some cases, the MS provided driver must take precedence over the vendor one. As a comment to this article says:

"I have a USB 3.0 controller in my system where Microsoft took over control of the driver, probably due to the hardware manufacturer going under. Anyway, the driver Microsoft provide is signed by the same certificate as they use to sign other drivers for Windows. But in this case, you would want the Microsoft provided driver to win out over any manufacturer provided driver because they are all broken in some way."

Of course they could have separate signing certificates for 'overriding' drivers, but that would be just as much a hack as using the time stamp.
The CC0 licensing assertion is simple ass-covering by the museum's lawyers. Images that are exact replicas of works of artists who have been dead for 70 years or more are in fact public domain under US copyright law no matter what license they assert, per Bridgeman.

Originality is a critical element of being able to assert copyright in a derivative work. To the extent that these are exact reproductions, they have no element of originality and the museum's assertions of license are invalid.

The story here is that you get an "official" public domain image from the museum itself, which will presumably be of technically high quality - appropriate lighting, correct focus, high res, camera plane exactly parallel to the work, camera on a tripod, etc. as opposed to the widely varying quality of the images you find on the web now - while some are technically fine, others are shot by a museum visitor with shaky hands, scanned from a photo book, etc.

You can now also find these images from a reputable, central source rather than scattered across a slew of ad farms.

Not that I necessarily think it'd avoid the problem even then, but I wouldn't call this modern C++ exactly. For one thing, it's (c) 2002, so written in C++98. And for another, it looks very uh, C-ish (not that uncommon in the C++98 era). In the bad sense of lots of error-prone pointer-based string manipulation, stuff like this:

if(STR_COMP(s1, p) >= 0)
{
do{ ++p; }while(*p);
++p;
if(STR_COMP(s1, p) <= 0)
return set_->isnot ? next : ++next;
}
Yeah, the guy behind PICO-8 is big on education and having the whole thing as accessible to children as possible.

There are a lot of people using it to introduce their children to game development and programming in general, and it's (supposedly) a blast for both them and the parents. I always felt that while our PCs have gotten 100x as powerful, they paid a big price in accessibility for actually getting stuff done on them when you're 10.

For adults, PICO-8 has just about the right amount of restrictions to keep you productive while still letting you create something worthwhile.

Interesting to see South Africa at the top of the purchasing power list. I received a job offer from Amazon in Cape Town (where AWS originated), but I turned it down. Your money did go very far there. Sadly, I could not accept the job for multiple reasons, but I do think about my decision constantly. I really loved Cape Town.

One aspects which made me not regret my decision so much is that I would have gotten paid in rand, which was been greatly devalued since my offer, causing me to lose money in terms of USD.

>The government pays private insurers a fixed amount that corresponds to what Original Medicare would "receive" for each patient, but that's not a subsidy.

Define it however you want, it leads to watered down care. Naturally, the Insurers have incentive to identify the primary care physicians who don't see their patients (especially chronic care) or don't order referrals to specialists. Have you followed a single lawsuit against the Medicare Advantage plans by physicians and physician groups? Insurers identify these practices (the ones that have minimized costs through watered down care) buy them/cancel other physicians out of the networks/funnel remaining patients to the doctor.

Let me ask you, how do you think an Advantage patient can set an appointment so easily when the networks have narrowed (less physicians, less patient choice) and the overall patients/doctor in network increases? Its because systematically the complicated chronic care patients are seeing the doctor less and less and the network doctors have more time to spread around and set appointments in 24-48 hours (you say improved outcome, I say yes for many but also watered down care for many). I will admit, patients like seeing their doctor in 24-48 hours and like seeing them 1-2 a year instead of 4-6, its convenient and cost them less (in co-pays if nothing else), but its still watered down care, especially to the chronic care Medicare Advantage patients.

I will predict this as well...the next step in all this is for Pharmacists to be labeled providers (can bill CMS under Parts A, B, C) and they will begin replacing physicians as the providers for Medicare Advantage chronic care patients. Again outcomes will go up because the patients are actually being seen and the Chronic Care CPT code will be billed/reflected on their EHR, but the care will be watered down (patients now forced to see pharmacists instead of doctors for chronic care management), but hey costs will go down right? Even the patients will be happy because they can just walk in to a pharmacy anytime without an appointment and see a pharmacist, plus the copay will probably be cheaper, again you/Insurers/even patients can say "improved outcomes", I'll maintain less choice and watered down care.
