>> That's the problem with Obamacare, people wanting a free lunch. It destroyed the private insurance market by banning the consideration of prior health conditions, so now only sick people buy Obamacare.

This isn't true. The incentive of paying penalties is so that young healthy people like me get insurance, so that I can dilute the risk pool for my sicker, fellow citizens.
Insurance companies denying you based off of pre-existing conditions was the status quo because it was profitable (for the insurance companies, not for society at large) to insurance mostly healthy people. However, those sick people still need care, and so they end up at the hospital anyways and in doing so, caused outsized (due to severity) externalized costs (that the insurance companies got to avoid by pitting it onto hospitals / government programs).
I notice that everyone who claims the ACA's fundamental premise of getting more people into the insurance pool is flawed also mentions their insurance premiums going up.
The people (companies) getting a free lunch in this country are those who get to externalize the true and total costs of their actions.
Less expensive can be desirable. And perhaps the market could even find an equilibrium where some people would pay a bit more for appliances to be capital goods with longevity and serviceability and others would prefer the cell phone model.

But instead, when a consumer good becomes less expensive, our federal reserve overlords increase inflation to make sure most everybody is still being "encouraged" to work full time. This is their explicit policy! So we end up with the downsides of cost optimization (cheapness), but not the benefit (actually saving money).
Eh, when you consider the drive-train of your average 70s American car there's nothing preventing it from going 300k. The same small-block v8s and 3spd autos were used through the 90s with very good reliability. It's the little crap going wrong everywhere else that makes people upgrade.

It sounds like you're confusing two types of "write barriers" that happen to share the same name, but have otherwise little in common. Memory barriers for atomic instructions are essential for giving them sane semantics, but have nothing to do with GC. GC write barriers deal with the needs of generational or incremental collections, but are a totally different thing.
Too bad Dlang never reached mainstream. It's a perfectly​ suitable language for backend programming and system programming where golang is growing popular.

I always figured that it's diversity of stimulus/experience/etc that is the biggest factor. The operating envelope of our bodies (and minds) presumes season changes, pretty much constant walking, and (typically) a very different social environment. Putting how we modify all this with various drugs aside, our environment in modern times is very different from the one our bodies expect. Some of this seems better understood, like how the insane abundance of sugar is something our bodies cannot cope with. Another interesting one is the entire discipline of orthodontics; turns out our teeth would come in completely straight if it weren't for all our soft processed food not giving them the input they need to orient themselves correctly in our jaws. I suspect exposure to cold and heat is simply another thing we've lost.

It should work well with redux and react-redux, there is an example in the README to use react-redux's connect to dispatch an action when a message is received from the server.
On the other hand, I didn't want redux or react-redux to be dependencies. So it can also be used without redux.

You are absolutely right. I am afraid there is no good solution for the problem except for performing symbolic calculations or simplifications.

A hacky solution could be to round the output of sin(x) to a given internal precision. This would only hide the real internal numerical problem, though.

It seems that other calculators suffer from the same issue: https://www.google.de/search?q=sin(1e10*pi)

For now, I have increased the internal precision to 30 significant digits and updated the value of Pi to be more precise than that. Of course, this doesn't really solve the problem... just shifts it by a few orders of magnitude :-)

Edit: Also, note that everything is fine if the answer is not zero (due to the rounding in the output):

> sin(pi)+1

D's CTFE and templates are really really nice to use. I can write very low-level high-performance memory sensitive code, controlling everything, but the code can still be beautiful with great compiler checking.
It can confuse my C++ brain sometimes, though, and then it's great to have someone to consult with (e.g on the D forums).
I've tried the HoloLens, and it's not bad for what it does. The narrow field of view is the main limitation. Putting in a greyscale filter to dim the real world makes the inability to write dark tolerable. It's amazing how much hardware they crammed into a lightweight, wireless headset.

The VR headsets, on the other hand, are still about as clunky as they were in the 1990s. The head tracking is much better, and the resolution is a little better. They're still too heavy, too bulky, badly balanced, and need cables.

You make a very good point, it had completely slipped past me that they can make investments with that big stack of cash they're collecting from customers.
Then you should make yourself aware of the regular taxation laws in force at the time those fortunes were amassed.

The difference I guess is that in the US the rich give away most of their money (often for favorable tax treatment on the remainder of their estate) and in Europe they just pass it along to their children to maintain the nominal level of Eurotrash the world seems to require.
Uber isn't going anywhere. Investors may take a short-term hit riding this wave of bad PR, but there's far too much machinery that will continue to push Kalanick's agenda forward.

> I wonder what is HN's obsession with sticking to specific diets? Generally speaking there is an infinite number of possible healthy diets that get you your macros at every calorie level.

It's easier to eat a healthy amount if your diet is pre-determined. No need to think of alternatives and mess up. The counterpoint would be that the monotony of the same foods also make it easier to "cheat" and revert your progress.
Does not follow.

Just because we want something is not a good reason to think that it's possible.

As I understand it, the health benefits of hard work are currently believed to be an integral part of that hard work. And, they're at least somewhat localized to whatever systems are doing the work.

Or from another perspective, weight machines and indoor air-conditioned treadmills are your technological solution.
And yet, everything seems to point to modern living not exactly being good for you. Not going outside gives Vitamin D deficiencies. Not sleeping properly means our brain is less sharp. Being constantly connected online means that I'm unable to do proper deep work. Being constantly able to see the "superb" lives lived by others means more self esteem issues.

It seems those among us (Mr. Money Mustache comes to mind) willing to live life the old-fashioned way: biking to work, mowing lawns manually, avoiding social media and eating home-cooked food are doing better than those of us early-adopting every technical solution under the sun.
I remember a math professor retiring in the late 1980s, who was giving away all of his books. Looking through them I saw one from the early 1960s that was on numerical methods for certain classes of problems.

Several chapters started off by describing a problem, explaining that ideally you'd do a Fourier transform, and then coming up with a special case hack that worked well enough and performed well enough to actually be done.

The FFT made all of this knowledge obsolete.
Use the most commonly used lock on the outside of the locker. You don't want your locker to stand out. Shrouded padlocks are more secure, but they also tell potential thieves that your locker may actually be worth breaking into. In any case, the gym management often restricts your choice, because they need to be able to cut locks off.

I'd save the serious security for the inside of the locker. Get a locking hard case designed for handguns, with a cable lock slot built in, and use a cable lock to secure it to the inside of the locker. Put your valuables in it and pile your clothes on top.

Consider changing to a gym that has separate locker and changing areas, so that cameras can be used to detect locker break-ins and catch the culprits. The individual padlock is, at best, a delaying tactic, which is useless if someone has unlimited time in which to break security. If someone is in my locker room popping locks with a shim, I want someone to notice that and detain them, or at least identify them from the video footage.

True, but the "50% of the benefits of cycling" isn't accurate.

When I cycle for fun/exercise, with a heart rate monitor, I've burned (an estimated) as many as 650 calories in a half hour. A "normal" ride is typically closer to 800-1,000/hr. According to this chart[1] - a 150lb person cycling at a "moderate" pace would burn 563 calories.

In the study, people sitting in hot tubs for an hour burned about 150 calories per hour, which is about 2x what you'd expect to burn during an hour of sleep.

According to the study, sitting in a hot tub for an hour is more like 25% of the (calorie burning) benefit you'd expect from an hour of moderate cycling, and just under 20% of the benefit you'd expect from an hour of vigorous cycling.

Frankly these post-docs are engaging in outright witchhunt against DeepMind driven by nothing but pure political agenda.

The amount of data obtained is frankly tiny compared to that available regularly to researchers in USA. E.g. as part of my PhD research I have access to de-indentifed data on 40 Million patients spanning 5 years from several states.

Not to forget programs like CMS Qualified Entity which provide access to identifiable data on ALL Medicare enrolees to companies. Such arrangements have been in place for decades. The only reason Deep Mind is being persecuted is since they are a juicy target, and fear of AI sells very well these days in academic circles.

The report does not lists any specific cases where violations occured but rather makes broad hand waving claims about cabining or advertising.

For those interested here is the orginal paper, instead of verge article.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs12553-017-0179-...

If they really had substantive argument (that indicated real malice on part of Deep Mind) it would have been easily published in Lancet, BMJ, even New England Journal of Medicine. Instead the fact its published in some subject specific Journal should tell you about concreteness of their "findings".

You're absolutely right that this is a lot of work, and not many ML researchers have all the skills needed for it.

In the short term, Distill's editorial assistance will help authors produce outstanding papers, although they need to be willing to work as well.

In the longer-term, I'd like to explore match making between data visualization people who would like to get into machine learning and machine learning researchers publishing papers.

And in the very long term, I think the right solution is to add a new component to the research ecosystem. Just like we we have people who specialize as research engineers, theoreticians, and experimentalists, I'd like to have a respected "research distiller" specialization. Eventually, I'd like to try and start special grants for research groups to have someone focused on this.

I don't understand your problem: the Windows 10 spying, "stupid" updates policy, etc., are all good examples of Nadella's excellent business sense and revolutionary thinking. He's finally cast off this obsolete, idiotic thinking about not pissing off your customers, and realizes that Windows users aren't going to switch to another OS no matter what, so it makes perfect business sense to milk them for every penny they're worth with ads, spying, forced updates, etc. He's doing an excellent job, though personally I think he could do even better (though it'll make Windows users even more unhappy, but that's their problem).
I have applied for a couple for remote jobs recently (I am based in Spain). When I asked they said that I would basically be employed as a freelancer - so I would need to sort out my own taxes and things.
Yes I thought GC write barriers were always implemented with memory barrier instructions. Probably a trap because the same word is used. Still I wonder how they are implemented then.
I would say that if your paradigm for studying thought cannot explain away at least two of the other three, you've got it wrong. A good theory in cognitive modeling ought to have applications to all the rest. A good theory of acting rationally ought to have applications to acting humanly or thinking rationally, and ideally to thinking humanly as well.
>"Given society's limited resources, should we be educating our children, or feeding them? A careful analysis doesn't favor the former." Oh, sod off. We can do both.

I thought you were against strawmen. This is a contrived example where we actually can do both.

This is not the case for everything.

And even if it was, there's opportunity cost -- in this case the cost of devoting fewer resources to one action because you are splitting them into two actions.

When one of the things is more important than the other it makes total sense to consider this case.

Even your contrived for the US example, is very real elsewhere. Parents for example, the world over, often do have to make the choice between educating their children and feeding them. A classic example is the "can't send the kids to school, they need to stay at the farm to help the family make a living" -- and this affects hundreds of millions.
Globalization has caused the largest transfer of wealth from rich countries to poor countries in the history of mankind, reducing inequality between countries on an unprecedented scale.

Great news if they will really make hash indexes durable! That will allow some interesting new developments, such as O(1) efficient lookups regardless of table size. This in turn will make it easier and more appealing to build graph databases using Postgres.
Every medium has a tendency to create work about itself, the subject its makers understand the best. Hollywood does La la land. Buzzfeed covers Techmeme. Novelists write novels about novelists writing novels: Misery, The Sportswriter, half of Philip Roth, some of Joyce.
Good points. We do believe that well-written articles save readers time on the other end, which hopefully will offset some (if not all) of the cost of producing them. We also believe that taking the time to edit your ideas not only helps your audience but helps your own thinking. Outsourcing the work to others would most likely just lead to adding a veneer to an article rather than a substantive improvement. Instead of outsourcing we're thinking about how to foster collaborations in the future.

For what its worth, having dabbled in some visualizations of concepts, its really difficult, and I didn't find that the available tools were well suited for mathematical visualization.
