This is my understanding as well. Game AI is about "looking" intelligent (or as someone else in this thread said, about providing a fun experience to the player) and machine learning is about finding optimal solutions or predictions.

Also, nobody wants to run a google-sized deep learning network or what have you in order to train a mere game AI.
Manufacturers are used to developing a product and selling that product as-is. The entire idea of needing to maintain (develop, improve, update) a product beyond the point of sale is a fairly new one.

I'm sure manufactures are slow to embrace this new reality because consumers see little value in paying for it.
Doritos and Mountain Dew are low amplitude.
Appreciate it! I'm looking forward to it too, at this point.
Project: SeeAround.me - an app to see and share hyperlocal news by location (like Waze for what's happening nearby). All content is user generated, with most of it in San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley for now.

Frustration: It's hard to see what's happening near you based on your location (hyperlocal news, events, restaurant openings/closures, construction, etc.) Local news is distributed across so many sources, and it's not easy to see where exactly stories are taking place.
Why have you assumed it was not respectful?
> The only thing though... with this insane technology, we see less and less 'real racing' which is a shame.

Completely agree! I was a die hard fan back in the days of Schumacher and my interest went downhill soon after they started introducing what I call 'artificial' racing concepts like DRS (Drag Reduction System) that heavily favored major constructors, who have unlimited engineering budget. Although, an antithesis is the refueling ban during the race. I think fueling strategies were a major contributor in making F1 entertaining. These days it's just.. boring for me. And the odd times to watch in the US doesn't help too.
Yeah, unfortunately I was a dutiful kid who trusted and listened to the advice to those who offered it. Made that first round of bad choices pretty devastating. Which is why I'm only finally crawling out of the flaming wreckage that was my initial career trajectory now.
I say for maximum amplitude you should do both: Put Hellman’s mayonnaise in your Pepsi. Then dip your Sara Lee poundcake in it. And cover that in Heinz ketchup. Maximum amplitude EXTREME BAJA BLAST #YOLO.
With 40% of the population being non muslim and the huge discontent changing that would cause, I think it's extremely unlikely that it would change. Even PAS isn't advocating for sharia bills to apply to non-muslims.
I gave the game a try and it's pretty fun seeing the details of how the figure out what to do. If the orc models were less ugly and the controls were better and it didn't crash so much I'd even pay money for it. Thanks.
Yeah, definitely not advocating for remote disabling of anything. Only responding to the sample support response and suggesting that it's worthwhile to retrieve the device and issue the refund. Not just issue the refund.
Thanks for the example! That definitely includes a bunch of things I think Jupyter should have, but "purists" might consider out of scope (theming, ToC, something as simple as being able to hide cells interactively).

Currently, Jupyter works well for development, but the result is often hard to read because code gets in the way. (unless you use nbconvert, but that sometimes defeats the purpose)
Failure to boot, random freezes in Windows and Linux.

That said, I got it sorted out. It turned out to be an incompatibility with both the NVMe disk I was using as well as an incompatibility with the memory I had purchased.

Getting the exact parts listed in your motherboard manufacturer's compatibility list appears to be pretty important for Ryzen currently. It's been rock solid since I swapped out those components.
Interesting that there appears to be a watchdog for the encryption chip.
Proof was made within specific framework, with very specific quantors and type of inference, I still don't understand how it prevents existence of more powerful frameworks with different quantors and inference where incompleteness theorems wouldn't work.
Canonical is absolutely responsible for building those images. And yes, we do work with Amazon, Docker, et al. And yes, we're actively working on reducing image size.

That said, what's "minimal" to one is not "minimal" to another. We can certainly take stuff away, until you end up at Alpine or Busybox size. But then we've stripped away the essence of what's Ubuntu. So it's a very delicate dance!

My grandparents lived in Europe during World War II and were also negatively affected by the Nazis.

While it's normal to find display of Nazi symbology distasteful, considering it bullying or taking personal offense is really not reasonable, unless it's done as an attempt to embarrass/mock you, personally.

Bullying is absolutely the wrong word for people who are going about their business without specific negative intent.

Like others, I hope that the swastika loses its strong association with Nazism. That's not going to happen if we continue to freak out and cry about our hurt feelings every time one is displayed.

Containers Test Pilot gets website assignment feature
Yea, it's a good point. We can logically distinguish between the basic audio problem (which might be really hard) from the automation problem.

On the other hand, suppose we somehow got good training data by getting a bunch of audio samples at the same number of words per minute that were graded by human listeners as easy or hard to understand. Then in principle something like a neural net might figure out what audio features were responsible for intelligibility and then adjust the non-intelligible audio in that direction (a la using convolutional neural nets to make pictures appear in the style of a famous painter without changing the content). This would be done automatically without any humans actually understanding the solution.
Where Non-Techies Can Get with the Programming
I was lucky enough to go through all stages of old-enough-to-have-a-laptop school (highschool and college) during whatever we should call the period of time in which batteries in laptops rapidly evolved. So I started out a freshman where laptops were hunks of solid IBM plastic chunking at like, 4 hours, maybe? And came out of college with surface pros and macs humming at 8 hours. For me, it wasn't until they were pushing 6-8hours (of ACTUAL usage) that laptops made sense as education devices - I'm at school for 6-8 hours , I can squeeze in maybe 30 minutes to an hour of charge time if I want to be stuck in one place for that stretch of time (as opposed to, I dunno, walking around, working out, whatever). So there was an actual finite number of battery time for me that made the things viable.
there are a few problems that make this idea nasty:

1. input focus / window selection - lots of code relies on the idea that the currently selected window is a singleton, not 1..n_cursors. Adding support for multiple cursors breaks this assumption and code that looks something like active_window().do_something() would have to be biased against the selection tied to one cursor, breaking their independence. You'd ideally want a 1:1 match between keyboards and cursor input devices for this to be workable.

2. accelerated drawing - a very common (if not universal) display server trick is to separate mouse cursor rendering, own content (like window decorations) and accelerated content (like hardware video decoding and color keying) into different output planes with varying drawing restrictions. They update asynchronously in order to reduce memory bandwidth requirements and hide latency/jitter. The number of available such planes are typically low (1,2,4) and dynamic. Adding another mouse cursor breaks the simple '1 output plane @(last sample.xy) cursor.w*cursor.h' and forces either multiple planes to be consumed or the allocated plane size to be primary plane resolution size and updated every frame, which can impact other connected monitors and so on.

3. absolute vs. relative mouse samples / warping - this varies more between windowing systems but some applications deals with a mouse in terms of display- absolute, surface- absolute or device relative samples. At the same time, different mouse devices (touchpad, "normal" mouse, tablets, ...) provides samples in different types (device-relative, device-absolute) and someone needs to do the translation. This matters in situations like FPS games.

4. nested - it is not uncommon for applications to "hide" the global mouse cursor and then maintain their own inside the context of its windows. Games in particular like to do this, but also VMs and similar oddballs. Someone needs to do the translation and it typically becomes dx,dy = last_mp - current_xy then "warp mouse to window midpoint".

5. sample optimizations - some systems like to provide a memory mapped global mouse cursor position to keep storms away from window event loops (think gaming mice or drawing tablets with 1-2+ kHz sample rates being forced into relatively small event queues).

There are hacks to work around all these problems but not in a universal "won't suddenly break for your use-case" way. The most common I've seen is simply to make the other mouse cursors into non-decorated transparent windows that they move around, check window underneath the 'fake cursor' and inject into window event queues...
We like to think so! We provide some sample datasets for people to play with[1][2] that have relational "metadata" tables alongside a time-series table where you can do this.

One thing we'll note is that currently JOINs between two time-series tables (what we call 'hypertables') are not optimized, but we're working on it! :)

The music analogy fails, for me, because the foods they mention aren't meaningful or interesting, they're bland to the point of complete neutral inoffensiveness. It's like taking "Blitzkreig Bop" and turning it into perfectly balanced Muzak and calling that "high-amplitude."
> I have to say, you have a tendency on HN to chime in from the peanut gallery and be a bit unrelenting and even combative because jedberg does things differently.

That's a fair critique, and thank you for pointing it out. I try to always back up what I say with the reasons for what I say, but sometimes I get lazy or don't have time to write it all out. I too worry about folks who speak in absolutes, although in this case I happen to actually believe it.

The medium isn't always the best way to have a deep technical discussion unfortunately.
I never do trails either since all I have also is a road bike. There is a stretch of Mulholland, where it is a dirt road, that is technically passable with road tires, but I have yet to attempt it.

I like Ventura Blvd in the Valley to make it to the beach. It is congested at points earlier on (east), but then it clears out. Venice is busy almost the entire stretch.
To be fair, when I bought my Apple Thunderbolt Display in 2012, I compared it to other monitors available at the time, and when you compared not just the display quality but the fact that it had an integrated Thunderbolt dock, it really wasn't too overpriced. (IIRC, Dell's closest equivalent was $949.)

The problem is that Apple almost never lowers their prices unless they come out with a "new improved" model of something. So, as a given product continues to be sold without an update or a price drop, the more steadily outrageous its price point seems. To the point of the original linked article, this is a serious problem for the Mac Pro. It was expensive at introduction, but it's been downright absurd for the last two years. This is an issue across most of the Mac product line currently, though.
I can't follow the math but the presentation is gorgeous (Safari on a MacBook retina display). Really great, keep up the good work!
will it be fully 3d printed (no metal/carbon tubes)? I think the main problem with hobby robot arms is flex in the arm itself and backlash in the motors.

Low cost arms (eg. dobot) have "0.1mm repeatability" with no load but the moment you put a kg on the end effector it starts flexing.
Glad to hear. Feel free to follow up by email with any feedback, comments or questions.
Er, are they good? I have a gorgeous Dell IPS 4k monitor at work and (I know, it's very silly) I actually get a tiny thrill whenever I pop my IDE open in it. It's just so darn pretty.
I love this idea, and I'm curious where you get your writers and who they are, generally speaking. (I understand if you don't want to reveal that.)

As an American on-again, off-again expat, I have long thought that there should be good money in getting educated native speakers in "cheap" locales to write and edit stuff.

I know a few Americans and Brits who make a good (local) living as editors for various organizations that need to publish things in correct English for, say, the EU.

But your idea seems like it would scale much better. At the risk of everything sounding like it was written by a milennial backpacker. :-)

Best of luck with it!

But I would only buy the $1 shares because I know the market value is $11. I can see that incontrovertibly. If they offered it at $11 and we were hypothesizing the real value is yet higher still, I would have no way of knowing that the market will soon come to realize the "true value" and increase the price. It would be a gamble of me betting the market comes to realize they've undervalued the company.

Hi. Do you provide Visa assistance or does this require a US work visa?
Django almost went with X.0 as the LTS. Here's where X.2 was originally proposed:

Here's the final summary:

The most breaking part of the the LTS cycle is right _after_ the LTS, so that's the best time to change the major version number.
I did an undergrad in biotechnology which was effectively worthless, could barely make a dent on my 20k in undergrad debt.

Now I've got a MS in bioinformatics and while I got a slight raise, I also had to take out more loans for the second degree. So I'm still floundering. If I had known what I know now, I never would have attended college (even though I had 70k worth of scholarships thrown at me).

Would have picked up some programming on my own and maybe taken a few courses at a community college. Feel like I've completely wasted a decade of my life and it looks like I'm about to waste another decade.

Creating a new, technology-driven commercial and wholesale bank in the UK.

Fintechs in the UK need to partner with a bank or get a regulatory license to do business. Bank partnerships move slowly - their technology and processes are outdated and expensive. Similarly, getting a license takes time, people and money.

This makes starting a fintech company hard and costly. We want to change this by creating a new bank that's built to work with technology companies (focusing on fintechs, but for general technology firms as well).

You are partly right. Protectionism may work for jobs which need physical presence or security clearance. (lawyers, doctors, teachers, government/defense/aviation employees).

It was in fact so inaccurate that many ROMs had to be modified to run under Nesticle. There's actually a tag in the goodtools filenames that indicates a ROM has been modified to run under specific emulators (I think it's [f], but I don't remember 100%, and I'm not going to look this kind of stuff up at work).

Later emulators that made use of game-specific hacks (e.g. ZSNES) would store the hacks in the emulator instead of the ROM, patching the hacks into memory at load time, so people could use the same accurate ROM dumps in both accurate and inaccurate emulators.
Are you hiring? I would love to work on this. This sounds incredible.
Bitcoin only "solves" one part of trust. The blockchain transaction is perfect but to be of any use there is a corresponding exchange of some service or good or title. Even if the transaction is to exchange currencies from two different chains, trust or a trusted escrow or trusted multiparty consensus is needed.

Trust can only be eliminated in narrow circumstances involving low-risk transactions or in environments with some extrinsic enforcing mechanism. For a cautionary tale see https://aeon.co/essays/why-the-hidden-internet-can-t-be-a-li...
There are a few differences:

- Both Aerospike and Honeycomb.io don't support full sql queries. Instead supporting their own custom (and more limited query format)

- Aerospike is not optimized for time-based queries and is more like a key-value store. You cannot get the same performance

- Honeycomb is a column store. Ours is built on Postgres and can work with your existing Postgres databases

As for performance, we are still working on gathering numbers that we hope to share soon comparing us against other solutions including Influx and similar.
Oh yes, time the market... That works so well for so many.

The only thing though... with this insane technology, we see less and less 'real racing' which is a shame.

I an under the impression that it is not so much the technology as it is the rules. Specifically, the rules allow for giant rear spoilers that ruin the air behind the cars, with the result that cars behind must keep some distance or lose their downforce, which means that there are fewer opportunities for overtaking.

Waze seems to show few if any shortcuts anymore, until I manually start to take the route. Then the ETA drops by a couple minutes as it re-routes. Don't know if that's in response to complaints, but the shortcuts it continues to offer are usually through low-income areas. People who would be perhaps less likely to complain. /conspiracy theory over

When services reach critical mass, they don't need to offer the same value proposition. Only value Waze has left for me is police awareness, but even that has been mostly thwarted by changing police patterns. They rarely camp out in one place anymore and instead operate more like stings -- pull over and nab a speeder in 20-30 seconds.

There are no graphs, how is this a benchmark?
There's a big difference between being the premium product when the range for them is $0-$1200, your margin is massive, and everyone on the planet needs one.

It's another when the range is $12,000-$100,000, margins are much more competitive with way more competent adversaries, all the while car ownership is changing drastically to rental/ride sharing for a great many people.

At that point, you don't necessarily care the car you hired that day is a Tesla or Ford, because you experience it for 20 minutes and are done. The buyer in this case is the fleet owner not an individual, which does not necessarily favor Tesla.

I don't think that you can compare Tesla's product to Apple's (not to mention Apple's software ecosystem permeates so many more aspects of one's life if you are a part of it, Tesla not so much)
I think that example blurs the lines between open source, and adding functionality to a piece of hardware, and having an open data protocol. People are not purchasing the hardware and software without integration. This is less about open source, and more in the hardware hacking category. Otherwise, since every piece of modern electronics has some kind of firmware/microcontroller in them, that would make anything at all to do with them, about 'open source'.

I think its fair to say you obviously understood the spirit of my question since the context was open source operating systems. So, let me ask again, what have you changed about the OS at a system level?
