> I don't think Code is saying that we need to get rid of one kind of game to make room for another kind of game.

The sense I got from some of her posts was that she did want to do that. And fundamentally there's always an opportunity cost - there are only so many creators and so many studios. She implies she wishes Child of Light had involved less swords and dragons, and had more accessible controls; I think all of those changes would have made it a worse game (for me but I think also for most other people). And I really enjoyed that game, and so I'd like to see more games like it made.

If I thought she was actually going to succeed in making games that other people enjoyed then I could probably support that, even if I'd be sad to see her stop making games that I enjoy. The reason I find her so frustrating to read is that I think she's got it wrong. (And yes a certain amount of experimentation and willingness to make mistakes is a great thing, and possibly necessary to being a great artist. But I don't think what she's doing is that). I think the things she's doing differently aren't going to help other people enjoy her games more, they're just going to make people who do enjoy games enjoy hers less. And if she ends up making games that hardly anyone enjoys that will be a horrible waste of talent. If she never created anything else for the rest of her life I would still be grateful to her, so maybe it's unfair to expect anything more. But it's still frustrating to see.
You say that, but in recent decades, Intel was more profitable than the typical PC manufacturer that bought chips from them. Hard technology can be a very lucrative competitive advantage.

5 Questions Data-Driven Companies Should Ask to Manage Risks and Reputation
Sounds like a way to troll other organizations and competitors, imagine the conversations:

This is exactly what is wrong with dragnet surveillance.

So say they get 1 name, and that name happens to be you. I'm sure you had a perfectly good reason to google that name, no matter how obscure it was, and it happens to be a day and a bit before the money was taken (which, btw according to TFA it wasn't).

No matter how you spin it, you will look suspicious. Maybe you'll even admit to doing it when you didn't, maybe you'll be offered a plea if you confess.

Case closed, crime solved, right?

Or rather not, because it is you and you'd never do such a thing?

A similar thing happened here in NL. A number of burglaries in a region that was only accessible via a single bridge, and that bridge had a camera on it.

Correlate the license plates crossing the bridge with the nights of the burglaries and only one car was left.

So that had to be the person that did it. Which, in fact it was! Still, the judge threw out the evidence because it was gathered without specific intent to confirm, not discover that such a person existed, and in theory anybody that crossed that bridge suddenly became a suspect in the case until they could be ruled out.

So +1 for clever thinking, -100 for botching a case where there might have been a legitimate way of obtaining this information.

Total surveillance means very little crime, but as a society we should push back against that because it also means that we are enabling an element of government that already has a lot of power over our lives.

It's worth the occasional $28K loss (presumably to insurance companies) in order to safeguard the rights of the rest of us.

Oh, and that's besides the potential for a Joe Job, where you would go to someone else's computer that you access in a coffee shop or some other place where you can get momentary access to someone's computer (co worker, whatever) and then google the name of the person you intend to hit causing them loss of their job and potentially much more.

This is just wrong, on many levels.

Switching to a new industry can be tough... and often landing your first job is the hardest part. As such, I would NOT be choosy at this stage. There's a ton of companies out there that don't have customer-facing software, but desperately need developers. These positions may not be exciting (e.g. improve intranet app, clean up reports, etc) but they're always there, the competition for them is generally lower, and they serve as fantastic proving-grounds for newcomers.
"he lists such ­recurring characteristics as dogs unable to track scents, the time (late afternoon is a popular window to vanish), and that many victims are found with clothing and footwear removed. Bodies are also discovered in previously searched areas with odd fre­quency, ­sometimes right along the trail. Children—and remains—are occasionally found improbable ­distances from the point last seen, in improbable ­terrain."

I've been hunting for 7 years and my first thoughts are that:

-Found without clothing and footwear can indicate hypothermia

-Improbable distances and terrain is not a surprise. I've felt mild panic set in when I wasn't where I was suppose to be in terms of meetup spots and felt the need to rush uphill or avoid using common sense in the moment. I've also scaled some scary terrain (I'm no rock climber or mountain goat) and I've heard stories from guys I hunt with who have done some stupid scary stuff when it comes to terrain

-The other comments read like a bad movie that tries to scare us into believing the forest is the most dangerous place in the world other than your own sidewalk, where a stranger will kidnap your kids at the most opportune moment. Most of my coworkers throughout the years all think I'm crazy when I tell them I go hiking and hunting in the forest, as they believe I'll be eaten by bears. By the way, I saw a baby black bear about 15 yards from me last season, cutest thing in the world, and so was his mother as I was walking away :)
As a counter point, I've a PhD in applied mathematics and I believe there's plenty of elitism in the field.

Unless you're a logician following a very specific set of reduction rules that can be verified mechanically, a proof is largely just an argument that something is true or not. Just because something is true doesn't mean the argument for it is strong, nor comprehensible. Part of the elitism within the field is that, at times, the community places pride on being as incomprehensible as possible because we should be smart enough to fill in the "trivial" details. That's morally wrong and it turns people away from the field. Further, it locks out a huge number of people who are not specialists from accessing the material.

Awhile back, I had a coauthor on a paper screaming at me in his office that it was condescending for me to include a full set of calculations for a proof that I authored. We had the room the paper for the result. I, as the author of the proof, couldn't follow the proof without the full set of calculations. We actually walked around the office and most people agreed with my coauthor. Although I ultimately prevailed and kept the calculations, it's an example of the underlying problem. Namely, yes, a large portion of the field is elitist. "I don't need these calculations to understand the result, so why should my readers?"

Math is not so cut and dried that there is precisely the minimum number of statements to describe a problem or give a proof. I very, very strongly believe in rigor. We can be rigorous and not be a dick in how we write or present material.
Agreed it's more hassle than it should be, especially if building from source. However the main installation hassle is CUDA and CuDNN I think, not Tensorflow itself
This seems a bit different though, the police are asking Google for a list of people who searched for a specific term, they aren't asking for the entire search history of those people. In that way I think the potential for revealing personal secrets is much more limited than it appears in the headline.
Yep, it worked fine when I got home, a few hours later. There was a while where it was "wonky".

Yip, exactly this. The CFR algorithm they speak of is based on finding a nash equilibrium for each strategy-pair in the game tree. Something that I think can only be computed for 2 players, and no more.

Ask HN: Is there no hope of scalability using only plain, vanilla JS?
I love JS, it's served me very well for all my needs. But seems like more and more of JS has been mutated to serve someone's paradigm. Although I've developed in Angular 1.x, react, backbone, and knockout, I've yet to have any amazing epiphany.

Sure, two-way binding, separation of logic, MV(whatever) yada yada yada. But what about the language itself? Why is JS so unusable by itself that we have to have a new framework that "fills in the gap"?

I have no problem with framework and I try to use them whenever possible, but I still would love to just apply a design pattern around plain JS.

Am I foolish? is there something wrong with using JS by itself?
Why should we have H1-B and L1-B visas for tech workers only? Why not have LAWYER1-B, MD1-B and CEO1-B visas for cheap foreign lawyers, physicians and management?

Sounds like a win-win to me!
Energy is ~ v^2
The police aren't asking for a city's searches. They're asking for anyone, anywhere, who searched Google for 'Douglas ? ?' in a 5 week period. The article this one links to explains this much better.

https://tonywebster.com/2017/03/minnesota-search-warrant-any...

Google isn't the only search engine on the internet, but the police claim they were unable to find the information in Yahoo or Bing results. They suspect it must have come from a Google search, because that's where they were able to find the same information. The judge felt this provided probable cause to permit the search on Google.

This article is bad. It appears to be written by a layperson who doesn't understand law or how the internet works. And it pours on the hyperbole to excite emotions.

Fake news.
Northern CA sends a lot of its water to Southern CA. The Owens Valley is where the LA gets most of its water. There are water deals between different states. San Diego gets the majority of its water from the Colorado River. Seven states have agreements on how much water they can take from the Colorado River.
In this sense we can argue that Intel will perhaps soon deliver a quantum computer since Intel is currently researching on 10nm Quantum Well Field Transistors (QWFET) to replace FinFET transistors that are currently used:

If we are evil marketers we can even claim any computer is a quantum computer (though not using quantum effects in an essential way - but this can be left out), since anything in the world (e.g. matter) only exists because of the laws governing quantum physics.

4 Ways You Should Be Evaluating Alternatives to Concur
They're not making $0. They're trading $8/hr now against the cost of depreciation that they'll be able to "pay" later. Is that short-sighted? Yes. Do people feel like that's necessary when they have looming bills that need to be paid right now? Also yes. It'd be nice if people in that situation could afford to be more future-minded, but that's easy to say when the income from your primary job easily covers your expenses. Not so for many people.

The police are not your friend. In pursuit of the $28k, which I'd hate to have stolen from me, they will callously and casually wreck the lives of anybody this search turns up, especially for any poor, or "immigrant looking" people.

I've found a nice workaround for that one that does not require registration with nvidia so you can automate it:

wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/repos/ubuntu1404/x86_64/${ML_REPO_PKG} -O /tmp/${ML_REPO_PKG}
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/${ML_REPO_PKG}

Wow, what a small world. :) I evangelize high-assurance tech and R&D on forums like this. I wasn't aware of this limitation of COGENT. I maybe wrongly assumed one could write a simple, non-optimizing compiler if people had written two filesystems in it. The latter seemed more complex. I'll hold off on that recommendation then.

No, we couldn't have had GuileEmacs for a long time since the compatibility layer with Elisp wasn't complete - that meant that not all Existing Emacs packages could be used as is with a GuileEmacs. This release specifically addresses that and I am sure that now there will be serious effort to bring about a "stable" GuileEmacs release.
Yes, digital is probably orders of magnitude safer than film in a can. However, digital is not 100%. There's still data corruption, and loss of systems and programs that will play the data. It's still not set it and forget it, you have to actively preserve the digital media, and now, the surrounding playing mechanisms.
true, but with google you have a choice. ISP's are generally granted monopolies and most people don't have a choice. Google only hands over data when mandated by courts or government. ISP's are looking to actively share and sell your information.

All that searching and his body found only 1.7 miles from the ranch defies belief. Also the fact that he was found in the direction in which he had set out. It really sounds like the search wasn't systematically done at all.
You're making a lot of assumptions here though. Is wire fraud just an unsolvable crime? Is all crime on the internet unsolvable because the police cannot gather any evidence at all?

I agree that privacy is more important than security but I think you are going a little too far with this comment. Sure, the police should be careful with this evidence and it doesn't prove any wrongdoing but I don't see how it's unreasonable for police to ask who searched for a specific term at a specific time in a specific place.
spaCy is great, and I find it much easier to use than Tensorflow for NLP. Looking forward to the new release today
We want the theories to be unifiable because we're human.

That's a pretty neat theory you have there, but I don't think the reality is as tidy as that! You must want it to be neat because you're human. :)

For a very long time, nobody could figure out how to unify earth-bound mechanics (objects falling to the ground, remaining at rest until pushed, etc) and celestial mechanics (objects moving endlessly in not-quite-circular patterns). Most people were happy with this distinction, as it didn't cause any practical problems and fit well with religious ideas.

As far as I know (but maybe somebody can correct me) there wasn't really a major push to unify the mechanics of earth and space until Newton figured out universal gravitation.
Have you? The concept was "pre-crime" which is stopping crimes before they happened - not investigating crimes that have already conclusively been committed. Additionally, upon finding the system in use was faulty it was dismantled and everyone affected by it given a pardon.

Not saying the slippery slope argument is invalid, but the use of Minority Report is better kept to arguments where the intent is to use "big data" to predict and prevent crimes - not for when crimes have been committed and the intent is to figure out who did it.
No, you're just 1/2 away from the point where your return on investment is not justified. And that's fine; there's a lot of perfectly valid reasons a situations where working is not worth it.
