>AI is the idea of intelligent machines being able to solve problems (and recognizing them) on their own.

From the perspective of a language descriptivist instead of prescriptivist, that strict definition of AI is already long gone. That ship has sailed.

Even wikipedia says that colloquial uses of "artificial intelligence" stands for machine learning that mimics intelligence. It's understandable that The NYT and all mainstream non-compsci publications will use "artificial intelligence" that way. One of the researchers (Stephen Weng) cited in the article also uses the term "artificial intelligence" in his LinkedIn page and in the PDF research article itself.

If and when "solving/recognizing on its own" truly becomes reality, I suspect the world will adapt and call it "True-AI" or "Lifelike-AI" or "Strong-AI". We'll find another term to distinguish it from the watered down "artificial intelligence".
> So now you know. Incidentally, this is pretty good evidence of this subthread's point: you expected to be told all of this by going through a 3rd-party aggregator where you can search by cost. If you are representative of the average American consumer (which is probably pretty likely), it's no wonder the airlines compete on cost.

They should probably work to ensure it's possible to accurately filter by other criteria on aggregators then, if they actually care about getting people to shop based on other features. They choose not to make any effort there, because even small levels of obfuscation enable extraction of rents. It weakens the ability of the market to improve quality and reduce cost, the more difficult it is to gauge quality.

If they cared the tickets would be per-seat and tell you the properties of that seat in some machine-parseable manner, not be upgrades (that change the seat you're in) that may or may not be available at all depending on how you bought your ticket, whether you're part of some special program, and so on. Ah, travel—the one context in which not-at-all-rich people are encouraged to temporarily act like petty nobility. Almost certainly another trick to extract more money from people. No accident it's also an industry that's managed to make something inherently amazing and awe-inspiring resemble one of the only-moderately-unbearable parts of hell.

At least with your Amex Platinum card and all those points you've racked up you can be baron in the Fourth Circle for a day.
How do we know if this is really predicting vs. identifying undiagnosed diseases?

For each patient we considered only the prediction of novel diseases, discarding the re-diagnosis of a disease

It seems to me you need a longer time series (patient with 3,4,5 years of medical history) to be able to predict a future disease state. And I don't believe I saw that in the article (I admit I read through it quickly).

If it turns out, this is just identifying undiagnosed diseases, I wonder if this research will have any legal ramifications.
What if you were running a few virtual machines to develop (very common workload)?
Ditto, to me XXX is a near synonym of HACK.

But they have slightly different connotations. I'd use HACK for something that works, and is maybe even elegant, but potentially fragile due to a lack of generality. XXX on the other hand is something that works, but is inelegant or violates good design principles - basically a "clean this up if you get a chance" marker.
United's a pretty solidly middle-of-the-pack airline, like the rest. Delta has put a very strong focus on not having cancellations (favoring delays instead) and is rolling out an international Premium Economy service level, which is a huge step up.

Southwest is great for no change fees and free bags, but the cattle call boarding sucks, and they have far more "involuntary bumps" per passenger than United does. That said, because Southwest runs many short hop flights, you're more likely to be able to get another flight to your destination in short order.

Ask 3 people if they prefer United, American, or Delta, and you'll get 3 different answers. It depends so much on your home airport, what kind of flying you're doing, and so on.

I love Virgin and Alaska both, but despite flying 4-6 times per year, all of my trips were too short to qualify me as a frequently flier. By sticking with United (for longer flights, at least) I was able to qualify for their bottom-rung frequent flier program, and even just the possibility of getting a free upgrade on a future flight is enough to make me stick with an otherwise undifferentiated product.
"I can build a better version myself by retasking my $200K a year engineers" is the battle cry of someone screwing up the ROI analysis.
Security question. Can `git-shell` restrict users to their remote home directory? Or if you give me a git shell, can I still do things like `git clone me@example.com:/home/you/secret-sauce` ?

This is only an issue if you're sharing the box and/or remote repositories with other people. For shared remote repositories I've been using the following setup:

1. Create a bare, shared repository at `/var/git/foo`. Configure unix group permissions and the directory setuid bit on it.

2. Give alice access via a `/home/alice/foo -> /var/git/foo` symlink.

3. Set alice's shell to a patched version of the git shell I call `git-home-shell` that sanitizes the repository path argument and makes it relative to her home dir.

Is there a better way these days?
We call that MIPS or Alpha, and it lost to x86 compatibility.

Whose only competitor is ARM, which is little better in terms of decoding complexity.
> stiffing them is just as bad

So not bad at all. It's in no way my responsibility to cover their wages. If the bar wants to raise prices a bit compensate then fine, but tipping is a ridiculous practice.
It's more like increasing the contrast, which has the effect of reducing the dynamic range in favor of extreme values.
Just noticed this on my commute home (author of slides).

This is an old and condensed version of corporate training that I run. Typically the training runs for some 4 days. If you want a more modern version of this material (that you can submit your PR's to), check out my Python 3.6 reference[0].

If you have any questions, fire away, and I'll do my best to answer them.

I'm not sure exactly what the issue is, but people like to use their time and expend effort as efficiently as possible - or at least have a sense of what kind of practice or process to aspire to.
to actually execute any commands or do anything you need to get "validated" which costs $3 by paypal or $1 + postage by us mail
What if you try to compress the frequency components, scanned in zig-zag, using MP3 (without the first FFT like layers if they exists, I guess)? - if that even makes any sense...
This is obvious, and I'm looking for the steps in between.
Interesting to compare and contrast American and European attitudes toward social mobility [1].

Apparently Americans are far more likely than Europeans to believe that hard work gets you to the top.

However, these expectations are apparently quite divorced from reality. Apparently hard work is far more likely to get you to the top in Europe (especially continental Europe) than in the US.

I can't wait to receive a letter in the mail saying, "If you don't start eating more grapes, you'll develop testicular cancer in six years."
Yep, I'd totally agree with that, I'm a big fan of HTML-only websites. As a rule of thumb when writing websites (web apps are a different matter), I'd say if your CSS or Javascript is too big to hand-write, you've probably gone too far.
There are some exotic processes that give better performance but the economies of scale aren't there yet and the cost of production is probably always going to be much higher than that of Silicon, which is after all a very abundant element on Earth.

There was a fantastic video about IC manufacturing linked here on HN a while ago, I'm not sure if I'll be able to find it.

edit: Hah, found it :)

When I was working on it the accepted solution was to compile as linux and statically link musl into the wasm binary, leaving mostly __syscallN symbols unresolved. As such it's a matter of implementing those on an as-needed basis (in javascript for emscripten and in java here). I at least successfully got sqlite opening a database in a pure java transpile that way. While it's a possibly inelegant approach on the face of it linux does at least have an aggressive 'dont break userspace' attitude and there is longstanding prior art for this on freebsd.

Bartenders yeah, I treat them like waiters. You're right on that one. The others I usually lump into "tip with extradordinary service" and so do most people I know, so maybe it's regional. I've never tipped for a cab but I don't live in a cab-heavy city like NYC. I always tip my regular barber though, just because my barber is awesome.

That's where it gets super confusing though, so a European can pretty safely ignore those and play ignorant.
Thanks, I wasn't too sure. I have always used them together!
> you're tipping for good service/entertainment

Never in my life have I done that. Not once. I tip because otherwise I'm an awful person who took money away the poor hardworking waiter.

It's amazing that the US has managed to become so brainwashed that the idea of mandatory tipping is completely ingrained meanwhile having people in a union (so they can fight to just actually get paid a decent wage) is abhorrent.
Seems more likely that the original commenter probably didn't actually read the article and just had a reaction to the title.
Spectrum isn't free because it isn't free.

That isn't a tautology, it's a statement of fact: spectrum has a dollar value. In nature. In nature it's got a price. Because men will trade, or pay, or war for it.

Therefore, to allocate it efficiently, we should allow it to trade at that value. This is how that spectrum makes the most number of people happy.

That may sound like right-wing pablum, but it's a subject that has been well trod by great thinkers for a very, very long time. [1]

Cloudron.io is easily the best for docker deployments.
Rather than nitpick on the wording, I think you should try to see the underlying point. It's unfortunate phrasing, but the point isn't about how hard you work or whether it's important to have a good work ethic.

I liked this article better, and it conveys more or less the same point as the topic link:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/10/opinion/how-i-learned-to-...

The problem is that hard work makes a dent, but not a very big one if you don't understand the "game" that you need to play. It's easy to take this for granted if you grow up in an environment with many people who understand it because you learn it by osmosis.
Yeah, these slides were for a long conference talk that introduced the basic syntax of Python to developers who weren't familiar with Python.

(List) comprehensions are super cool, as are generators, decorators, etc, but there just wasn't enough time to cover that. Plus, as you say most code is boring, and you can get by with the material in this deck.
It kind of has to -- both compression algorithms work by doing a bunch of lossless steps to get to a format that can easily be quantized for lossy compression. The prioritization of how much quantization to apply is picked according to perceptual models of vision/hearing, to devote more bits to quantizing the things we can actually notice.

Needless to say, a perceptual model designed for audio is a pretty bad choice for a long string of grayscale pixels, interpreted as sampled audio. It looks like a lot of high-frequency content was discarded, resulting in horizontal blurring.
In my experience, pople like to use their time and expend effort to research the optimal solution instead of implementing any solution, ignoring the waste cost of their research and ignoring that "research" is a sneaky way to avoid expending effort on making progress.
You can use something like https://stackshare.io/ or https://builtwith.com/ to discover what tools other businesses like yours are using. Is there something valuable in lists of SaaS websites from nonspecific HN users?
It's not a police interceptor, it's a "responder". I don't think a 2.0L four-banger is going to intercept anything but jaywalkers.
If you have all the items with you and put them in place one at a time as you discover they're needed, the Babel Fish dispenser runs out of fish right on the attempt when you've finally got them all in place and are ready to collect it for real. Evil little game.
Ah, gotcha. I'm looking forward to seeing what non-Emscripten stuff grows to support WASM.
Hence, when I'm doing a corporate training, this material takes about three days to cover.
Besides this, I feel quite reliant on Ubuntu's "you don't have $CMD, but you would if you installed $PKG" suggestions (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/command-not-found).

A real autocorrect should probably know about all the systems I use, instead of just the one I'm actively using, and help me translate commands from syntax I "expect" to syntax that works for that system. (e.g. translating my zsh pipelines to bash pipelines; suggestion combinations of commands that can substitute for missing builtins; translating between old GNU tar/ps syntax and old BSD tar/ps syntax...)
You might be interested in the normal physiology of cerebrospinal fluid [0] and the disease hydrocephalus [1] that occurs when there is a blockage in the normal flow path. As a treatment for hydrocephalus, bypass shunts (made of tubing) are installed inside the skull that create a relief path for the fluid to flow. Unfortunately, they often get clogged with cells due to various scar formation and immune reactions -- designing better shunts is an active area of biomaterials research, and it's quite possible that an external pump could be an upgrade (though we first have to show that it has benefit...).

Someone who uses a few days a week (not necessarily daily) as opposed to, say, occasional all-nighters before an exam. For example, mrleinad's comment:

> I take modafinil on a daily basis each morning, and have a regular sleep pattern of 7-8 hours a night.
It even helps with going to sleep earlier, because I feel depleted by 10 PM, so there's less incentive for me to stay up and waste time that I could use resting for the next day.
Uber had the chance to do the tight thing with tipping but it failed -
I think this is their source [1]. Well, sure. If you burn your house down, you can of course find someplace else to live. But, you know, it's kind of a hassle. Easier to not burn it down in the first place.

That's my problem:

> My mother gave birth to 12 children

Having 12 children is completely out of responsibility. Yet we saved this guy from poverty. Now what, not only the guy is barely thankful, but he claims that people should be able to reproduce this error and get the same incredibly good outcome – and it's a right? What about no?

He shows no understanding of what is normal; Growing from 12th-child of farmer parents to barrister in less than one generation is already a privilege; I'd be happy if my grand son had the same social status as I have already. Be humble. There's a lot of things to learn to rise in society, from not having TV to various attitudes about trading in business, from attitude about alcohol to relaxation things (or religion if that's your thing); No, if you don't educate your child, or if teach him that being a barrista is good enough, then he won't be able to become barrister despite his parents. But he's free to edicate his children better, that's how it works.

The XXI century is stuck in a wrong expectation that governments are supposed to compensate for your parents' life choices and make you a lawyer. To me, it explains why people are more and more polarized, on one side those who accuse the riches of stealing their right to equality (whatever that means), on the other people who grow a big expertise at getting deaf to such claims (and, unfortunately, they tilt towards not listening to any claims regarding rights, even older ones which were reasonable enough to survive the ages, like voting and democracy). Want to protect your democracy? Be reasonable with your claims, rights and expectations.
Before I clicked the OP link, I originally thought it was going to be this type of implementation...cool nonetheless, but would really like to see someone try this and share!
Exactly. A ticket for a seat on an aircraft has no justification for being more complex or confusing to buy than, say, an apple. It ought to be way less complex than apples, in fact, since they can rot or suffer from poor storage and so on.

True. I should clarify that I meant "point-and-click adventure" or "text adventure". I don't think this method would work at all for a roguelike.
I wish I knew, but I have no special insight into the internal dynamics.
Well it's like that classic Getty quote: when you owe the bank $100, it's your problem; when you owe the bank $100 million dollars it's their problem.

At this point, Uber's stakeholders - who are large, rich, and powerful - are so vested in their success that I'm sure they'll be able to find another fool to pass the bag to.

Oh for sure. I've known plenty of people who've done relatively brief (~ 2mo) sublets completely against leases etc (of course NYC is still a bit of a Wild West as far as housing is concerned, particularly at the more affordable end of the rental market).

My point was that AirBnB has vastly inflated the potential scale of revolving door short black market sublets (the loud, drunken vacationers that seem to be the source of most disgruntlement/anti AirBnB mentality here in the HN comments) much more than, say, craigslist.

I can't disagree with this more. Lack of tipping is precisely why I use Uber and don't use Lyft. I hate tipping.

That's why you have bureaucracy. So you can have people who know wtf they are talking about make rules that make sense.

Unfortunately, you have one party that has been able to systematically defund and break the executive branch for about 30 years. So stuff doesn't work as well.

You have an airline cartel because the government allowed it.

For example, obvious anti-competitive, anti-consumer mergers like Delta/Northwest (monopolizing traffic to Minneapolis) are allowed to go through.

At the fare level, the airlines are allowed to rollout the circus carnival pricing scheme where nobody pays the same price, and nobody has a way to actually compare prices at an apples/oranges level.
Time zones certainly won't be Google's super intelligence achilles heel, but certainly a good dramatic title to get people to read a bug report/feature enhancement.

The author says you should assume the time zone of where you will be when that time occurs, but that's certainly not a safe assumption, as I may schedule a call at my Boston office for a certain time, but then may be traveling during that actual trip but the time should still be Boston and not where I'm traveling. I use Google Calendar backend but only interact through my Mac or iPhone using iCal or Fantastical both which support time zones. So for most people who time zones isn't an issue, its not a problem. For people who travel often or who have clients in different time zones, you simply add a couple keys when creating a smart entry in Fantastical. Just like when I'm talking to client who know are in a different time zone I always mention the time zone after the time.

Last week I caught an Uber to the airport and the driver asked me why I didn't use Lyft, then proceeded to somewhat guilt me for not using their app, because it allowed tipping. Really shitty and awkward ride.
Angular 4 server-side rendering made very simple
With airlines, you had that into the 1970s.
I wrote this platform-server alternative to make it simple to render your ng4 applications on the server (on-demand in an HTTP server, or as part of your build). You can use @angular/material, @angular/flex-layout, jQuery, and just about anything else that would break @angular/platform-server or angular2-universal. You can access document and window. It boasts very good performance and is simple to use.
Looks like it had a DVD release so it should be available through official and unofficial means.
To be fair, Amazon was investing all of their money on creating moats to fend off current/future competitors, like warehouses and packing/shipping infrastructure.

Most of Uber's spend is on subsidizing the cost of the product. This is a competitor moat in the sense that it outprices less-resourced competition, but it's a moat that can only be maintained by continued subsidies. The moment those subsidies end, so does the moat.
Umm, tobacco kills over a lifetime of product usage.

So now the "passenger ratings" become worthless because the Uber drivers won't rate less than 5 stars for fear of retaliation by a customer giving a low tip amount. Also, instead of the rider immediately exiting the car and be on her way, she has to sit and wait for the driver to rate, and then she has to submit a tip.

The combination of driver/rider ratings _and_ tipping leads to little social games of petty blackmail.
