When im reading purely driven by curiosity, I find myself skimming for new info, giving myself shot after shot of dopamine by going "Aha! familiar", "Aha! know that", but never really doing full justice to the text. I feel like all these years of curious reading has given me a mile of breadth but only and inch of depth in many topics.

The course teaches not just "how to learn" but really "how to learn and become a master of the subject". While being curious and interested definitely gets the learning cart rolling, I doubt one can become a master without deliberately focusing on weak areas of understanding, practice and reflection -- all painful tedious stuff. For me learning sticks when I associate it with things I already know, zoomed in and out a couple of times to both understand a concept itself and how it fits in the big picture. So I do believe having "a method" to learn and deploy new learnings.

Some like me grew up in a culture of rote learning where we repeatedly read and smear the same text over and over again hoping something would stick. A lot of the teaching of the courses were completely counter-intuitive to me. I have spent close to 25k hours studying CS in an academic setting and could have saved myself so much time studying effectively. I've been working in SV for several years now and into some serious studying again so this course was very timely for me.
Why not? If the security system includes artistic elements, I don't see why you couldn't compare those elements to something else that's purely artistic expression.

At the very least, it's valid to compare them on the level of work that goes into each, compared to the benefit that each provides (in one case, a functional security system, and in the other, a piece of entertainment).

I am counting on the authors seeing this thread.
No. Let's say the commit rate increases by a factor of a million. You still have centuries to upgrade and fix the problem.
After thinking it over a bit, I'm going to take the other side of the bet.

We agree that power consumption is a limiting factor no matter what. In my imagined system, only something on the order of 1W would be delivered to the glasses. Delivering 1W over 10cm with large-ish coil area at >50% efficiency using NFMR isn't really a breakthrough, but it's only a way of eliminating the LiPo bulk and nothing more.

The thing is, I don't think we're near the boundary of power efficiency even with today's silicon. The way forward is to push all the feature tracking and other low-level vision tasks down to the ASIC level, while accepting some strict limitations on the rendering side. So a lot of it comes down to scope of features. Its most immediately useful applications are little more than a glorified HUD -- project some GPS data here or an info overlay there. Blit a video source on top of a marker, that sort of thing.

This sort of practical product, by 2027, I'll say yes. Mindblowing, transform-your-world stuff? No. But let's see what happens...
5 billion years divided by (speed of computers / 5 million per second) is probably still high enough for most practical terms.

That also seems like the stress & anxiety could be causing the other symptoms: crying alleviates stress, which would then ease the symptoms.
I think it's clear from context that the author meant intra-group aggression. A dispute between a human and a group of ravens isn't really a matter of politics in the way a dispute within a group of humans (or chimps for that matter) is.
do researchers not have professional courtesy to do something like replicate an experiment without publishing the experiment it was based on (without letting the cat out of the bag)? (I mean if they were approached to do so by a researcher with an extraordinary result.)

What I mean is if someone across the world sent you a detailed methodology to test, without mentioning the result you're expected to get, would you do it for them without wanting coauthor credit, and without talking to anyone else about it?

Of course it must be downloaded in order to display it. Obviously what I mean is that since they point out "auto-download" specifically I would think that they mean that it's saved to disk in your Downloads folder. Why this should be a problem somehow you'll have to ask them not me.

If they file size was the concern, they would have said so. There are a lot of web pages that weigh in at more bytes than this PDF these days with all of their images and scripts and god-knows-what.
> Very few people will quote that 15-20 years from now.

But that didn't stop someone from quoting it today and that's the third time or so this week that I come across that quote. The fact that it is quoted today - for which there is really no good reason - makes me suspect it will still be quoted 15-20 years from now. Hopefully less frequently.
FWIW, I'm developing a library based on the technique outlined in this paper (and others by Time Wagner). Like the original paper, it uses LR(1) (and GLR), not LL(k).

I also use Spark, I love everything except their "Compose a new email" button. To me personally it is a bit hidden. But as I mostly respond to mails, it's not that big of a problem to me.
Btw tags never worked for me anyway, but Spark has cool functions regarding bringing the really important (personal) mails to your attention. Also, their function not to jump to the next mail when you finish reading one is brilliant. I hate accidentally opening a mail I don't intend to read at the moment and then having to mark it as unread.

This doesn't really make sense. There's only so much efficiency to be gained in washing dishes or clothes; we're reaping a lot of gains here in the last 10 years or so because of electronic controls and sensors, compared to the very simple mechanical systems from decades past. But the efficiency over time will be a curve, with diminishing returns. Basic physics dictates that you can only make cleaning things with water so efficient. Maybe eventually we'll go to cleaning things with ultrasonics or something, but for now, if you're swishing fabrics around in a drum with water, or spraying hot water on dirty dishes, you can only make that so efficient. I'm sorry, but replacing a 2016 model dishwasher with a 2018 model dishwasher is not going to net you any significant efficiency gains (though replacing a 1985 model dishwasher certainly will).

Isolated because we left the EU? I don't think you understand anything about the brexit situation at all. We're far from isolated - believe it or not, the "drift into the atlantic" rhetoric was just hyperbole, not an actual geological shift.
That is such a pedantic and irrelevant answer.
I was adding my opinion into the mix but I did not expect it to influence anyone.

Would you argue that someone on Hacker News has the same responsibility as, say, Donald Trump? I wouldn't.

A direct comparison between what two things? In the attack they are worried about, they only see one half of the attack.

Same here. On Linux, I've got an Awesome WM setup that starts a background-level termite window that I use as a launcher, running ZSH in a Tmux session. I've used Guake and Yakuake for a while, now I've got a hotkey (F12) that just switches the "on top" flag for said launcher.

I combined that with Gnome-Shell style infinite workspaces (switched by HJKL-based hotkeys), an EasyMotion-like hotkey to focus a desired window and Qutebrowser as my default web browser. I really wish I'd tried that combination years ago...
I use tmux so that when I work remotely on my laptop I can connect to the same tmux session. Also, I like the vim and tmux plugins for seamless window navigation.
The statement that wireless sucks on both is pretty accurate. I recently got an old ThinkPad specifically to run OpenBSD. I have run OpenBSD on a desktop since 4.8 and a home server since 5.1, but never on a laptop. I got the ThinkPad because I have often heard it is the best supported on OpenBSD.

It worked fine on first install, including the Radeon graphics and old Intel WiFi (no -11n, just a/b/g). Used it for about a month. Traveled, tried to log onto a different WiFi, and it couldn't see the router. Got home, and now it couldn't see the home router that it used to work on, though it could see the neighbors' WiFi. Tried everything I could think of, with no luck.

I decided to try FreeBSD on it. WiFi worked, graphics worked, but then I broke my su login when I used chsh to change from the stock csh shell to mksh. Since I was already annoyed with some other FreeBSD things, I decided to completely give up and load OpenSUSE (ha!!) on it.

Linux makes me want to vomit, but I'll be damned if all the hardware doesn't work like a charm out of the box. It's made me seriously consider learning how to write drivers for the BSDs.

We've known for a long time that temperature will change calories burned at rest, and a reduction in peak blood pressure is not the same as a reduction in overall blood sugar. These same temporary effects can be gained merely by slight changes in diet, and don't provide the other positive effects that light exercise brings.

The comparison to exercise is quite misleading.

With the counterweights, it'd be nice if it was easy to open up the machine and take the counterweight out. This would make it much easier to move a heavy machine up stairs.
Incredibly inspiring, to be sure, but I can't help but wonder: how do you iterate and learn over the course of such a long-haul project? For me, the creative process involves exploring a lot of dead ends until I find the right path or develop my skills sufficiently. If you're doing one scene a day for four years straight, how do you end up with a consistent product at the end? How do you apply what you've learned to the mountain of drawings you've already put behind you?

Also, tangentially, how do you make money when you're working 15-hour days on your passion project for 4 years straight?

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to watching this! Any Bay Area screenings in the near future?
Almost all animation is fully computer animated these days. Even Disney have given up on hand drawn animation. So when a film is hand-drawn like this it is a very deliberate choice to eschew computer animation.
Wow, I had a surprisingly similar setup almost exactly ten years after the author posted that - even down to the gnome-terminal. Recently though I've switched to i3 and xterm, because for some reason gnome-terminal has broken on my system.

For anyone who's reading this, I highly encourage you to try i3 (a tiling wm similar to that in the article.) It even gives you a guide on keystrokes on first setup, and it's by far the most efficient for me.

Netflix a ton, as others have pointed out. Sony, not that I can see. There was talk of code going upstream, but I never heard more about it. Nintendo hasn't, but people are overselling the "Switch runs FreeBSD" line. A copy of the kernel license was included on the switch, which could mean just one line of code taken technically. From what I've heard, the sys calls don't look like FreeBSD.
The author is simplifying or possibly over-simplifying. About a third of The Secret of Our Success was devoted to how human social norms are different from those of our primate relatives and really the whole book is worth reading if you found the article interesting.
more thoughts.... what made you assume that there would be third party servers involved? And would you consider DNS or a telcom's central office switch a third party? Just curious.

I think all markets follow that logic.

Another submit was a thinly veiled ad via a hackernoon post; oddly, it didn't even address its sources for coffee beans, which is the most important factor, or even whether they use arabica (vs. the cheaper robusta).
Stress and MCAS often do correlate with photosensitivity, and if you have MCAS all your allergy-like reactions are going to be increased by stress, true. I've found that if my exposure to sunlight is very regular I do pretty well, though. Of course, if stress leads you to take tricyclics, they can cause photosensitivity as well. I would not discount the possibility that regular sun exposure reduces stress by boosting the immune system (not just by Vitamin D) however:

This is not going to be the answer you're expecting. I once started a start-up in a field that I wasn't passionate about at all, I did it for the sake of "playing a start-upper". After some time I grew unmotivated and gaining no money didn't help. So it provoked interpersonal conflicts in the team and after a confirmed burn out and a big fight I left to search for a job. Now I am not saying that the same thing will happen to you, I am just sharing some experience. I hope I helped you at least a little bit.
Google does index the content of apps that is not available on the web if you want and let them do it. But you see them in serps only the if you have the apps in question installed.
The reason I commented was the part he quoted could have been the title for the submission. It wasn't adding value to any discussion so I felt it wasn't needed.

You and some others disagree with my point of view but judging by the amount of discussion on this post, I suspect majority agrees with me. And by that I mean pasting a quote without any additional context or comments isn't adding valuable discussion to hackernews threads. I come here for the discussion so the OP was off putting to me.
You should expect to see a hash collision with probability >½ with about sqrt(2^n) hashed objects for a hash of length n. I believe hashes are made per changed file per commit.

A large project (like Firefox) might make a few hundred commits per day, or tens of thousand per year. So that comes out to 2^20-2^30 hashes per year. I don't know how many distinct repositories GitHub has, but I doubt it's larger than 2^30. So that means that GitHub has no more than 2^60 SHA-1 hashes related to git, and probably more like 2^40-2^45.

So the probability of a collision is <<2^-30 (the collision function is logistic, so assuming linearity between 1 and 2^90 is a wildly overoptimistic assumption) in the optimistic case, probably something like <<2^50. In perspective, it's more likely that you will win the lottery tomorrow but fail to discover so because you were killed by lightning than it is that GitHub will detect a chance SHA-1 collision.

Stay away from anything that says Master on it and absolutely stay away from combination locks, both the dial and the wheel style. You want a lock that uses ball bearings in the shackle, not the spring loaded latch type (you can easily tell which is used if you unlock the lock and inspect the inside of the shackle; if you see perfectly circular notches on the inside of the shackle then that lock uses ball bearings. If you see a straight edge in the cutout of the latch, you're dealing with a spring mechanism).
The American Lock 5300 is a nice choice for this application (yes, it is made by Master but it has some redeeming qualities). It is shrouded so it cannot be easily shimmed and it comes with a 5 pin replaceable cylinder. The keyway on mine is relatively paracentric (many steep angles and warding that makes it harder to pick) which is nice. If you are super paranoid you can re-pin the core or swap it with a new one, preferably something with 6 pins.
The best feature of this lock is that it looks more secure than its neighbors and it cannot be easily shimmed or opened with a kinetic attack. If I were popping gym locker locks I'd go kinetic on spring mechanism locks since they are the easiest to open quickly with no special tools. I wouldn't want to be caught with a rake or a bump key so those methods are probably not your biggest concern. You want the thief to look at your lock and think, shit, this one isn't worth the effort, move on the next. Like you said, you bought sub-par locks and they were simply forced open. A 5300 or similar isn't going to give it up that easily, which makes you less of a target.

I didn't make up a definition though. That's an OED definition of art.

Perhaps "doing maths" is often not art, but then neither is writing. Both can serve specific uses that wouldn't easily fall under definitions of art, but that doesn't mean they can't be.

Software engineering isn't but then is it really a stretch to describe this spinning globe quine as art? https://github.com/knoxknox/qlobe or this 100 language quine https://github.com/mame/quine-relay/blob/master/README.md
I don't think you are wrong. I've had the experiences of deep grief before. Crying and tears can be cathartic; they can also result from feeling something profoundly moving, usually resting on a deep undertone of sadness.

It also sucks when you have a lot of sadness and grief bottled up -- yet for whatever reason, you can't cry.

I will also note: judgement is a subtle form of disgust.

Dr. Eckman has a great Atlas of Emotions: http://atlasofemotions.org/ which is a great starting point for differentiating between the culturally-universal emotions and the myriad of emotional states.

From my personal experience though, the best way to study and make sense of emotions is to experience them. Intellectualizing emotions without experiencing them is not sufficient.
The notion that the only expression which can be artistic are those which are without value or purpose is bullshit.
> If NHS hands health data over to private companies, there should be very strong legal protections governing the use of that data.

NHS hands health data over to lots of private companies. Like any corporate entity, NHS would be expected to perform better when it outsources non-core work. The core work of the hospitals is patient care. The core work of the health care system is coordination, neither of which sounds like "algorithm development".

Keep in mind there is a vast standing body of law and precedent around these issues in the US, Britain, and anywhere else that medical research is undertaken.
