Can someone explain to me how chatbots are taught? Can you give them a 1000 slide product guide about, let's say, Intel 2016 SSDs, and then throw a question like: Can you use Intel SSD model X23Y with DELL server XYZ?
Uber also won't tell you when they charge you a cancellation fee.

They'll pop a message saying something like "Sorry about that your driver had to cancel. But don't worry there are other drivers". But then you check your ride history and you've been charged $5.

Downright unethical and should be illegal.

Of course that's not a viable long term strategy. The viable long term strategy is Peter giving away decent food and shelter to Paul freely.

The smart Peters of the world do that already, because they know: if we ever reach the point where a majority of Pauls need to rob Peters for food and shelter, they might not stop at food and shelter alone.

Nice project! Last year I made a similar PoC on Elixir based on the paper "Crawling DHTs for fun and profit"[1].

In that paper the researcher uses a pool of IPs to introduce multiple nodes (to cover the hash space). On my PoC I used less IPs but multiple ports per IP. How does this project manages to cover that ?

The easiest examples are found in the Fighter class of US airplanes: F-14, then the F-15, F-16 and so on. But, there are exceptions. For example, the X-35, which was a research plane, was later redesignated the F-35 when it became fighter capable, even though the next number in the Fighter sequence was F-24.

I was under the impression all the big modern consoles were using customized AMD GPUs. For example, according to the PS4's Wikipedia entry [0], its GPU is a "Semi-custom AMD GCN Radeon (integrated into APU)". Are those customizations made by AMD for Sony, instead of licensing the technology?

I found an article claiming Intel is licensing AMD GPU technology [1]. If that's the case, would it be surprising to see Apple do the same?

Target brand organic milk has an insane shelf life compared to the regular stuff. I've seen it two months out. Not only that but it seems to last longer once opened which is great for me since I don't use much milk.
For a stark contrast, come visit the USA! :-)
I generally don't like milk. The taste makes me gag a little bit and it nearly always smells like it is going sour, even when it clearly isn't.

It isn't for lack of trying, and there are differences. Lactose-free milk is better than normal. Low-fat milk tastes better than whole milk, yet skim milk tastes like I put water in a glass that had milk in it without rinsing. For me, there is no real concern about the calories - I use cream occasionally in cooking, after all, and use butter.
Probably so.
Yup - usually it is the semi-skimmed milk instead of the fully skimmed milk.

I blame Microsoft for Busines' current infatuation with Imaginary Property. Human civilization was built on the sharing of ideas and the ability to run with your neighbor's smart plan.

Apple can build a GPU without infringing ImgTec patents, through a patent agreement with another GPU maker(including ARM, so they're pretty much covered).
The widespread assumption that the top brands in journalism today (NYT, WSJ, Economist...) were better in the past is simply wrong.

There never was a time where newspapers printed "just the facts". That wish stems from a misunderstanding both of the concept of "fact" as well as the role of journalism in a democracy.

Firstly, it's impossible on its face to print "just the facts" because the decision of what warrants news coverage itself is already a judgement call. Otherwise, the phone book would have been the pinnacle of journalism.

Secondly, journalists were never in the past expected to be the soulless automata people seem to idolise now. They were and are expected to be arbitrators of the political process, and they were and are allowed use their experience in that process.

In addition, your mechanism of "because of more page views -> more money, quality deteriorates" is just wrong on its face. Newspapers' income was always dependent on "page views" in that sense, yet that never meant that sensationalism was the only strategy. Maybe pressure increased somewhat because it can now be measured on a per-article basis, but good publishers are actually pushing back against that very idea with all their might. That's why they are unwilling to implement what people are now relentlessly asking for: single-article micro payments.
It's a super volatile stock and very expensively priced. The current stock price assumes a successful Model 3 launch, and also growth beyond the Model 3 in the shape of new models, much greater market share and considerable likelihood of success with battery pack sales and solar installations. Tesla's current market cap is equal to Ford's, so a bull scenario would require Tesla to operate at higher margins, and/or higher total market-share, relative to the competition. Possibly combined one or more of the biggest traditional auto manufacturers fumbling the transition to electric and going under. (And obviously, a central thesis is that most people will want an electric rather than a combustion engine-powered vehicle in 5-10 years).

On the other hand, in the best-case scenario Tesla has huge room to grow. The 4 largest auto manufacturers sell on the order of 10 million vehicles per year, to Tesla's 100.000. Note that if Tesla were to grow production this much, it would have to happen either with favorable capital raise terms, requiring less capital than is generally understood, or by having very high margins and reinvesting very aggressively.

Tesla also has ambitions to become a leading energy supplier, under the thesis that solar installations will not be a commodity, but a product where superior user experience and system integration will be in demand. The bear case for this is that demand for solar installations will be limited to the cheapest supplier slapping the cheapest panels on a roof and calling it a day, or that a well-integrated solar system will be so simple to design that many companies will do it. We don't have the answer here yet, since this market is not mature. It also hinges on solar being at a tipping point where it is poised to displace a large amount of fossil power generation due to rapidly decreasing costs in cell and battery storage.

Tl;dr: you wouldn't invest in Tesla today unless you have a very big risk appetite and also believe that the transportation and consumer energy landscape will look very different in 10 years.
Yes, but your approach doesn't actually solve any of the requirements:

> things like checking at compile time all file handles are correctly opened before use, and closed after use

Using distinct `Open` and `Closed` types, as you say, doesn't help at all with ensuring file handles are closed after use.

They also don't ensure that handles are correctly opened before use, as I showed with my example `open "/tmp/foo" >>= (\o -> close o >> readFile o >>= putStr)`.

I can't think of a way to ensure both of these things, without using linear or dependent types to track state machines in types.

I can think of ways to ensure one of these things:

- To ensure files are correctly opened, we can remove the ability to close them. My above example would then work correctly, since `close o` would be a no-op, and `readFile` would succeed.

- To ensure all handles get closed, we can remove the ability to open them.

Separating handles into `Open` and `Closed` varieties does nothing more than provide documentation hints to programmers; it cannot automatically check whether handles are used correctly, it requires programmers to consciously avoid language features (like using variables multiple times), be careful about the way they compose functions, and write test suites to check if things are working. In other words, it provides none of the benefits of static typing, and is more akin to documentation in a dynamically typed language.
You can certainly use UHT milk to make cheeses that don't contain rennet such as paneer, ricotta, and quark. Some argue that you can't make good quality versions of these cheeses with UHT milk. From personal experience, I've made quark with UHT milk and it seemed pretty good quality to me.

I do get excellent results making yoghurt with UHT milk. It's also a simpler process as there is no need to heat the milk first before adding the starter.
The article is long but fairly interesting, repeating much of what Kahneman said in Thinking Fast and Thinking Slow. But I have a few comments.

What is called 'nudging' in the political and policy making sphere and portrayed positively is really the same as what advertisers and salesmen have been doing for many decades and even centuries, and Kahneman has pointed that out, too, of course.

However, "Libertarian Paternalism" is a misnomer for several reasons. First, "libertarianism" is a highly misleading, US-centric label for certain brands of liberalism. It's not a coherent political position and instead used by very different people ranging from the right-wing authoritarian to the right-wing liberal spectrum to endorse a diffuse and internally inconsistent mix of cherry-picked elements of classical liberalism, general anti-federal government sentiments and individual anarchism. Second, there is not much liberal about nudging, since the the whole idea of nudging is to influence people to do the 'right thing' by exploiting flaws and heuristics in their decision making abilities, thereby limiting their actual choices. Real freedom of choice requires the people to be well-informed and educated well enough that the slow system can kick in. It's an old trick to ascribe some 'de jure' choice that in reality does not amount to any real choices for various social and external reasons, and then claim that people are free to choose whatever they want. This has already been criticized in depth by Amartya Sen.

In the end, whether ads, propaganda, and nudging are acceptable or not hinges pretty much on a moral evaluation of the goals of the nudger and the circumstances and level of influence a group gains over another. There is nothing wrong with making people slow down their car by subtle hints on the driveway, so they don't accidentally run over children in an urban housing zone. In other areas such as voting I cannot find anything positive about nudging, since the fate of one's country should always be based on decisions that are rational and as well-informed as possible, i.e., made primarily on the basis of the slow system.

One (but not the only) criterion for distinguishing good and nefarious uses of advertising/nudging is whether the person is lied to or not. Lying to people in order to achieve a desirable outcome is generally unacceptable, according to what many if not most people think, and I agree with them. There may be exceptions under unusual circumstances, but generally I expect my policy makers to take me as an adult individual and only put up a sign "Beware shark attacks" whenever there is an actual danger of shark attacks.
Ever heard the story behind, "saved by the bell" ?
The problem I had at the university was that our code was so simple relative to large codebases that a debugger was generally not necessary for me. We learned how to use it and I found it to be a burden because I could find the bug "much quicker" either with 1-2 print statements or just by reading it. After working with much bigger problems I realized the importance of debuggers and really wished they were stressed even more than they were in my university days.

After the disaster of Flash Boys I really don't trust what he writes anymore. I read Boomerang and The Big Short and they were fascinating but, after Flash Boys was debunked to hell I have a suspicion that he is one of the writers that is writing for big bucks and not truth. Someone who can captivate an audience but is actually harming understanding of the world instead of advancing it.

Exactly. Have probably done that bisection thing a lot of times - but often you have to have that prior "domain knowledge" or more aptly: familiarization with legacy code base, to a point where it's theories and hypotheses all the way(). How'd you do a bisection or even a gradient decent on hypotheses? So for me the main point is just to realize quickly enough when the beginning theory is futile, so I should switch gear to another one or different methods. Still this wasting of hours often happens,.. and I'm doubtful if you can ever remove it from programming, let alone "scientifically" as the article suggests.

() "the rough sequence of operations between the input and output of your code" - this phrasing also suggests to be far away from debugging hell a.k.a concurrency. At the latest then also your "bisection" becomes "theory" and guesswork, I presume.

Well - it's complicated.

Have a look at Speakeasy for a bot that is trained on reddit using deep learning, it produces very plausible responses to queries but has a few weaknesses.

Firstly it's not task directed, so if you ask it about changing the oil in a car it doesn't know any useful facts and it doesn't present them - it just fobs you off.

Secondly, type "you're" into it - it will be very rude to you... because... reddit.

So what's needed is something that can read technical documents and use them at the right time in a conversation. Deepdive (http://deepdive.stanford.edu/) gives you a bit of this capability, but when I used it (version 0.4) I struggled, maybe things have improved! Non the less; I do believe that this is state of the art for machine reading.

IBM did a tonne of work on question answering in Watson but I am now so confused about Watson that I literally don't know what to make of where their work has got to.

> But at least all problems that could happen on a financial application are solved with decimal floating points (where you will only want to use rationals in finite decimal form like 0.01)

You still get cancellation if the magnitudes differ by large enough an amount. This is a problem inherent to floating point arithmetic, using a decimal format instead of binary does not save you from that.
Sure - I didn't really mean to imply that starting at main() every time was the way to go about things. I guess my point is just that I find it's usually a lot more useful to methodically explore than it is to sit and hypothesize. I dunno, I suppose (like a sibling suggested) it's pretty much the same thing, but I feel like I usually prefer to bust out the debugger as soon as I have any inkling of where the problem could be, rather than spending lots of time beforehand thinking about it.
