That is certainly a possibility. But the situation is much more reasonable if you imagine that the doctors ran different tests.

For example, suppose we have a prior probability of: Tumor - .49, Concussion - .49, meningitis - .02.

The first doctor performs an MRI that conclusively proves that there is no Tumor. He now conludes that there is a 96% chance of concussion, and 4% chance of meningitis.

The second doctor performs a cognitive test that conclusively proves there is no concussion, but a 96% chance of tumor, and 4% chance of menigitis.

If we combine these two tests, we have disproven the two post likely causes, so the less likely cause becomes reasonable.

This doesn't work out quite so nicely in reality because of false negatives and (as you point out) the non 0% chance of an unspecified disease. Also, ideally you would tell the second doctor about the first test.

Here's a relevant excerpt from research I did on college into this. FWIW, my research was specifically into genetic algorithms and generating similar musical styles as the input music. It didn't perform particularly well but had some surprises.

From my research, a Markov model could potentially be viable for this demo in particular. However, it wouldn't be viable for longer generation of music where you're trying to produce an actual song. The biggest problem being that it doesn't have the concept of melody in it.

--- research after here ---

A Markov model utilized by Herfort and Rehberger [17] uses the immediate previous note in order to determine the next note against a set of probabilities. This is a fairly simple algorithm as the set of rules is not large, but it is extremely short-sighted by nature. This “first order” Markov chain is not capable of determining a probability based on a large sequence of pitches. To counteract this, “N-order” Markov chain models can be determined to look more deeply into the past, but the complexity of the rule set increases exponentially with added depth. Further, every aspect of music that is to be modeled would require its own Markov model. For instance, there would need to be a model for pitch, duration, etc. This leads to a potentially huge Markov model rule set where all chains are independent of each other. Thus, Markov chains are good at composing musical melodies on the micro level (such as a measure) but fail to produce quality music at the macro level.

This seems like an empty decision with no real consequences for any of the parties. The court looks good because they came to the correct conclusion. The local police can laugh and continue to violate our constitutional rights with impunity. The plaintiff gets the satisfaction of a favorable ruling, but receives no compensation or even an apology. Our justice system remains corrupt and contented. Move along, there's nothing to see here.
> Not sure exactly what you mean by this. If you give up determinism, it can be O(changes) - except for time spent statting the input files which, at least in theory, should be possible to avoid by getting the info from the build system somehow. I can understand if LLD doesn't want to trade off determinism, but I personally think it should :)

Not quite. For example, a change in the symbols in a single object file can cause different archive members to be fetched for archives later on the command line. A link can be constructed where that would be O(all inputs) changes due to a change in a single file.

Even though a practical link won't hit that pathological case, you still have to do the appropriate checking to ensure that it doesn't happen, which is an annoying transitive-closure/reachability type problem.
(
If you need a refresher on archive semantics see the description here: http://llvm.org/devmtg/2016-03/Presentations/EuroLLVM%202016...
Even with the ELF LLD using the windows link.exe archive semantics (which are in practice compatible with traditional unix archive semantics), the problem still remains.
)

In practice, with the current archive semantics, any change to symbol resolution would likely be best served by bailing out from an incremental link in order to ensure correct output.

Note: some common things that one does during development actually do change the symbol table. E.g. printf debugging is going to add calls to printf where there were none. (and I think "better printf debugging" is one of the main use cases for faster link times). Or if you use C++ streams, then while printf-debugging you may have had `output_stream << "foo: " << foo << "\n"` where `foo` is a string, but then if you change to also output `bar` which is an int, you're still changing the symbol table of the object file (due to different overloads).

> Interesting. What is this mode? How does it work if it's not incremental and it doesn't read the symbols at all?

Compared to the default, mostly it just skips string merging, which is what the linker spends most of its time on otherwise for typical debug links (debug info contains tons of identical strings; e.g. file names of common headers). [1]

To clarify, there are two separate things:

- the fastest mode, which is mostly about skipping string merging. It's just like the default linking mode, it just skips some optional stuff that is expensive.

- the part of the linker profile that the linker spends most of its time doing in its fastest mode (memcpy + relocate); for example, I've measured this as 60% of the profile. This happens after symbol resolution and some preprocessing of the relocations.

Sorry for any confusion.

[1] The linker has "-O<n>" flags (totally different from the "-O<n>" family of flags passed to the compiler). Basically higher -O numbers (from -O0 to -O3 just like the compile, confusingly) cause the linker to do more "fancy stuff" like string deduplication, string tail merging, and identical code folding. Mostly these things just reduce binary size somewhat at a fairly significant link time cost vs "just spit out a working binary".

1) The US has six times the population of South Africa.

2) A police officer killing someone, is not necessarily murder. You're going to have to break out how many of those are acts of self-defense, because it's a non-trivial number (likely the majority are in fact self-defense).

It is an interesting article, but I think the rose tint of nostalgia is a bit too strong.

Loom was an attempt to push gaming forward and explore new territory, and for that it deserves commendation. But it failed in the primary goal of any storyteller, which is to make the listener/reader/participant care about what happens in the world. It was a dreary and dull experience.

From the wikipedia page, a quote from the creator of Loom:

"Contrary to popular belief, the Loom sequels were not abandoned because Loom didn't sell well. Loom has sold more than half a million copies in various formats since it was published in 1990. The reason the sequels weren't made is because I decided I wanted to work on other things, and nobody else wanted to do them, either."

The final sentence, I think, is most telling.

I understand that synthetic shorts exist, I was speaking in the hypothetical that the SEC decides "no more short selling, period."

If there was a rule against short selling, I imagine that synthetic shorts would also have those rules applied to them unless there are enough differences to qualify them as "not short selling".

Though I guess the uptick rule already doesn't apply, so they're already seen as different in some sense?

Well the dream is orthogonality. It's not uncommon to have a data store like Cassandra setup with each data access micro service having its own key space. Other micro services then use the data access micro services in order to retain the single point of responsibility.

So what used to be 4 lines of code with a shared SQL db now requires at least 2 services which have to have corellation Id based logging to give you a fighting chance of working out what goes wrong, centralised log store, separate containers, monitoring, configured orchestration for the containers and some sort of communication between them ... what's not to love?
I agree with your assessment. Considering the constant work hospitals put towards maintaining a clean environment, it seems only natural to use self-sterilizing surfaces whenever possible, just as part of the overall system.
I like a branch per environment, usually staging and production with master as the development branch. To deploy you push to the environment branch and webhooks trigger the rest. I'm not sure how to enforce this part, but you always make sure tests pass on master, merge with staging and make sure they pass there, then merge with production.

that argument about bitcoin mining not being wasteful just shows it's not wasteful compared to other decentralized, trustless currencies. It still loses out to traditional payment methods.

I used to think this was dumb as well, until I realized that if you type "google" into the address bar of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari (possibly IE too, I haven't used it since IE6), it runs a Google search. Nobody ever bothers with the .com anymore; why should they, when just typing the name of the site in will get to it? So a sizable number of people who go to Google Search get there by running a Google Search.

Also, a surprisingly large fraction of users cannot touch-type. They've been trained to go to Google to search, so they type in g-o-o-g-l-e-ENTER and get where they intended, and never notice the autocomplete suggestions showing up in the Omnibox or the fact that they could just type their whole query in and get answers.

If you think Snapchat has the same macroeconomic value to the world as Intel, Cisco, or McDonald's... Then you've lost the ability to evaluate a technology business.

I'm not sure whether to accuse this of being shill or to systematically prove how flaky the argument is. The fact is that it doesn't save photos is as much lack of a feature as it is character. The users of this app know how to take a screenshot... It's the ICQ of a different 3 years worth of teenagers that will get stomped by the next messaging app that is different from the one other people used for the past 3 years.

Snapchat is valuable because of demographics. Unfortunately those demographics grow up quickly, and the ones that replace them will rebelliously reject what preceded them just like teenagers have done for the last 50 years.

The fact that they are worth $18bn now is nothing but a prime example of the times. Mind you I know the company I'm in. VCs invest based on their bet and the reason that valuation sticks is more marketing than it is reality.

Snapchat just isn't that valuable to the world.

From your comment I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me, but:

1)The US has six times the population of South Africa.

Absolutely, thats why I said South Africa currently has about twice the police killings rate the US has. So the math is: South Africa police killings = 409 to be comparable on a per capita basis with the US rate of between 900 - 1200 divide by 6 = 150 to 200 death per year if the US had the same population as South Africa, which is a rate your linked article also supports. Compare that with the apartheid rate of 518 deaths over 4 years, so about 130 deaths per year. (But ok I have not taken 20 years of population growth into account).

2) A police officer killing someone, is not necessarily murder. You're going to have to break out how many of those are acts of self-defense,

Absolutely, but that is a very difficult thing to do, especially only armed with google. Furthermore police statistics these days in South Africa is renowned to be of especially poor quality, so I have to work with what I have.

2) Some of America's inner cities are wildly violent, with murder rates on par with the worst areas of Latin America (ie some of the worst areas on earth for murder). Try policing a perpetual war zone that has been raging for 40 years.

Your joking right. South Africa has an average murder rate of 34 / 100 000 [1], seven times worse than the USA. And if you want to compare the worst with the worst (Detroit), compare it with our farm murder rate of around 300 / 100 000 [2] which is actually worse than most war zones.

So in summary, police killings during the worst years of apartheid was less than or at least on par with police killings in the US currently and police killings in current day South Africa is about twice as bad as both.

>>Try policing a perpetual war zone that has been raging for 40 years.

Yup...South Africa :D

Tesla is inferior to all luxury brands in all aspects except being electric and self driving. When compared to Volvo, Mercedes and their ilk, Tesla are behind on prestige, interior styling, after-sales support, economies of scale, supply chain management, navigating world wide bureaucracies, etcetera.

Are only 'priming studies' in doubt? Or are most of the studies in social psychology in doubt today? The experiments and conclusions used to fascinate me, but once you lose trust it becomes hard to believe again.

I used to think all these experiments are conducted on people vastly different from me or the people I interact with, so those findings are not applicable to me. But now it seems that those are not applicable even to people who are a lot like the subjects of the experiments.

I'm probably having the bias where one under the influence of a single significant factor ignores all the rest :).
