I don't think we can make that distinction, even now. We might die every time we go to sleep, similar to how you would if you were to be teleported; destroyed at one end and recreated at the other.

I'm not worried in quite the same way as you are. I'm worried that once I've put on the wizard, I'll change, and I won't be who I once was. Maybe I'll lose my humanity. But maybe my humanity isn't doing me any good.

There are a lot of things I said I would never become when I was younger, which I have now become. Maybe this will be the same thing on a larger scale. I might change, a lot, but that's all. I don't see the change as good or bad.

Once I put on the wizard hat, I may miss what it was like without it, but I probably won't want to take it off again, similar to how I miss my childhood, but I'm not sure I actually want to regress back to it.

Edit: Even if you're right, and this is a bad idea, and it will change us for the worse, it still seems to be our best option. Either we pray that AI doesn't recklessly take off without us, possibly destroying us in the process, or we try integrating with it, with the chance that our humanity will be lifted up with it. At least making it so that we have the option is probably a good idea.

Why would Americans care Apppe News isn't widely available elsewhere in the world?
Section 9.2 in their TOS, though, seems a little concerning.

"9.2 1337 may in its sole discretion, also terminate the Services and these Terms and choose to keep, sell, suspend or cancel your domain name registration if:"[1] (list of conditions follows)

I can see why that's needed, but it doesn't give a good feel to how much they'll push back before abandoning you once somebody is unhappy with your domain and/or content. Would have a better feel if they replaced "keep/sell" with "transfer", which they would be compelled to do, for example, if an ICANN dispute was lost. I would really want a little more detail on what exactly they do for common things like ICANN inquiries, disputes, DMCA, etc.

Excel deserves a special place in hell for its atrocious approach to localisation. If you were to give a Dutch Excel user a perfectly valid CSV file (i.e., comma-separated values), their Excel will fail to see it as tabulated data when they double-click the file and stuff everything in a single column. This is because someone at some point decided that in Dutch, tabulated data is (apparently) separated by a semi-colon instead of a comma, so (obviously) a file containing comma-separated values should have its values separated by semi-colons.

So if you mail a Dutch person a CSV file that follows RFC 4180, chances are they can't open it properly because of Excel. A surprisingly large number of otherwise capable people get stuck at this point.

(OpenOffice/LibreOffice is smart enough to recognise tabulated data when it sees it, and will simply present you with the import screen for tabulated data with its helpful live preview of the columns.)
Well you are entitled to your opinion, so am I and here it is...I feel people who waste other people's time with mediocrity deserve to be insulted. The response is justified and proportional (however harsh it may be) to the atrocity inflicted by the applicant. I hope the applicant learns from this and thinks twice before submitting sub par work.
Probably best not to get too excited about generating hardware from the specs... That would compete with ARM's main source of revenue and my reading of the license is that that is the one thing you cannot do with the spec. But I am not a lawyer.

Or, on a more technical note, my feeling is that if that is what you wanted to do, then you would not start from the style of specification ARM has released.
Especially when played over my diamond coated high fidelity wires. I'll probably pair that with my fully 24K gold HDMI cables when watching a movie.
From article:
"So when marijuana smokers would use white lighters to pack down their bowls, the lighter would get stained with ash and resin, which the cops could then use to bust them"

Yea I'll buy that. I smoked cigarettes but not weed for a few years and the MJ smokers I knew didn't like white lighters for that reason. They didn't say they were unlucky though.
The "critical thinking" Rob Kitchin is talking about is analyzing algorithms' impact with a social lens. Because algorithms affect people's lives, we shouldn't be content with letting them be opaque black boxes.

It seems to have overlap with the themes in the book by Ed Finn "What Algorithms Want - Imagination in the Age of Computing".[1]

Both say that algorithms are intensely studied from a technical perspective. E.g. O(log n) is better than O(n^2), etc.

Their idea is that the algorithms themselves are creating their own "culture" or "reality" and this should be studied through the lens of "humanities" or "sociology" instead of just "mathematics".

E.g. neural net or statistics algorithm computes that Person A is better credit risk than Person B. However, observers notice that Person B is always black and therefore claim that algorithms are (re)creating racial inequality. Or algorithms that provide sentencing guidelines for convicted felons. Or algorithms that diagnose medical problems.

Other writings with somewhat similar themes:

- Cathy O'Neil, "Weapons of Math Destruction - How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy"[2]

- Eli Pariser, "The Filter Bubble"[3]

There doesn't seem a universal term coined that generalizes the ideas in all 4 of those books but nevertheless, I'm sure more and more writers will notice they are talking about similar ideas.

Side observation about language usage... What I notice in all 4 books is that authors are using the word "algorithms" as a catch-all term for "machine learning". They're not really concerned about building-block algorithms such as "quick sort" or "discrete Fourier transform". What they're all talking about is "Facebook machine learning" is imposing X on us, or "Google's machine learning" is making us think Y. For some reason, the word "algorithm" has gained more currency than "machine learning" in these pop science books.

AU has had a stable government since it started at Federation, and it's had a first-world government since the definition of 'first-world' started in the '40s. There are few countries as stable as AU has been.

Ask HN: How to use Machine Learning to extract facts from the text?
Machine Learning is evolving very quickly. What are the state of the art techniques to extract specific facts from the text automatically?

Are there any open source projects focused on this task that you could recommend?
It's much worse on Xbox One. You have to change your country to something like the USA to be able to even SELECT English (the option doesn't exist for non-English speaking countries). And if you do that you can no longer pay because payment options are locked down by country, so you have to switch back to your original country to buy something. How can Microsoft blunder so horribly? How can anyone even conceive of the idea that people only speak their own language in their country? It is maddening.
I did an small experiment once: giving typical logic puzzles to friends (generally oriented to exact sciences) and family (mother, grandmother, girlfriend now wife, etc). The family group performed faster. I review the methods of each group and the friends group tried to use more formal methods.

Obviously none of these people were hardly into solving puzzles. I think novelty and lack of frustration in this field makes motivated people perform better. Take this with a grain if salt but there are neuroscience studies pointing to novelty as a good way to learn. It is easy to find studies about it like https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3858647/
I agree - that should definitely be possible.
Not necessarily easy though - but if anybody is looking for a PhD topic or, better yet, a whole research group looking for a challenge, you have all the bits you need to make it happen.
Not sure in hard numbers, but mobile processors are designed to work this way - do a small amount of work at full power and then sleep.
It won't even take ICANN, since I seriously doubt they are accredited themselves. They are probably dealing with one or more resellers and may well be breaching the terms of their agreements with those resellers.

How do people concerned about security here register their domains? Security of some registrars seems extremely spotty and nobody really talks about how they're safer to use than the competition, but domains are a huge single point of failure. Maybe there is space for a specialized service, something close to Cloudflare Registrar (https://www.cloudflare.com/registrar/)?

This has already happened with the UBI tryout in Finland. You'll get a basic income but will want to improve on that. Employers have suggested lower salaries for persons they know are participating for, you know, "since you have this additional income anyway".

At least in this one case the employee didn't accept the lower offer, thankfully.
In Italy there is a "similar" (in the sense that it manages to explain calculus in a friendly and easy manner) book, that has been re-edited and re-published since - I believe - 1929 or so:

the original is French, the Author Gustave Bessiere was an engineer, mathematician and inventor:

I don't think they are (yet) copyright free, though.

There might be a way.

One workaround might be user side scripting. Many things that can be written as browser extensions can be written as a user script. User scripts are locally hosted Javascript scripts that execute on pages selected by the user.

The original(?) user side scripting facility was GreaseMonkey for Firefox. TamperMonkey implements the GreaseMonkey API as a Chrome extension and is available in the store.

As an example, I use this script on HN: https://github.com/brudgers/hn_utilities

I don't know. I'm annoyed by sites doing that too, but I don't think the author appreciates the complexity of the issue. Two examples:

They choose Google search results as an example; but when I'm in the Netherlands, I definitely don't want them to exclude the website of a Restaurant or Tourist attraction from the results, just because I don't speak Dutch. That's what Google Translate is for, after all. On the other hand, when I Google for Recipes, maybe don't show me Dutch results even if I'm in the Netherlands; I might be able to have them translated, but I think there are enough English or German recipes for Tomato Sauce too that wouldn't need to go through this extra layer of indirection. So there definitely is a correlation between language settings and Geography - in some cases.

I'm also dissatisfied with Accept-Language. For example, I speak both English and German well enough that there isn't a huge difference in comprehension. If I just set Accept-Language to English and German with q=1, and visit pages of a German, a US and a Spanish University (assuming all three of them have all languages available), they should behave very differently.

Now, let's complicate things by throwing politics into the mix; choose the wrong language or show the wrong results and suddenly you are offending one subset of people or the other.

Languages, Countries, Politics and Humans in general are inherently messy and complicated. If you see a problem that has to do with any of those and you start a sentence with "just do X", then it is very likely that your Engineering brain is oversimplifying things (and also, FWIW, you are showing your privilege in not having to consider that other people might work very differently).

Maybe not being static typed is what could make it appealing to Ruby developers. For example I don't like to have to declare types or generics. Type inference is ok.

There is a wide range of languages to pick the one that better suits our style from. That's great and I like that people keeps trying.

It's an essay on algorithms in general, not related specifically to computer sciences. They talk about algorithms in journalism, for instance. The difference between algorithms, techniques, approaches and other terms they use is rather blurry.

https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/66kyez/arm_rel...

Topics included the license, what you can do with it, what other specs are out there (for ARM and others), ARM's love of arm/leg/limb-related acronyms and how much people hate XML.
I'd tend to agree! But for those of us totally unfamiliar with how I2C works, and barely familiar with embedded dev at all, a somewhat gentler introduction to the relevant concepts, that requires close experience with fewer priors than TI's reference example, is no bad thing to have.
When I worked in a nutrition department it was common knowledge that people are awful at recalling and reporting what they eat. Obese post-menepousal women in the study would, with a straight face, tell you that all they ate that day was a half cup of green beans. You'd look at their food records and it was physically impossible for them to be alive much less obese on the food they reported they ate. Humans are not only awful at reporting what they ate, they have difficulties even seeing it through the distortions of what they want to see. These are the difficulties associated with nutrition research and one of the reasons why there is so much confusion about what we should eat.
Our Quantum Problem
I already asked the grandparent, but received no response[1]. What make/model generated that profile? And how does it compare to the same measuring setup used on other units? While they may all look the same at a distance, you can find vast design differences between them when you start to look closely. It seems unlikely that they would all generate the exact same noise.

To put it another way, a car on the NASCAR circuit looks a lot like a road suitable car anyone can buy at the dealer's lot, but the sound is completely different. It pays to be specific.

CommAI: Evaluating the first steps towards a useful general AI
You were probably swayed by Russian influence. Let me explain how:

Russia unhappy with the EU, decided to join the Syrian war (after years). They bomb the crap out of civilians and trigger the largest refuge migration Europe has ever seen.

The numbers are so big that nobody is prepared, Germany decides to take the high ground and allow them in.

This triggered a fear in the UK that our borders are unchecked and other EU countries have control over them.

The fact is that Russia, the UK and the USA have been playing proxy wars like this for decades.
It's not a terribly interesting story IMO.

The author (Tatu Ylonen) sent an email to Joyce K. Reynolds at IANA, on release of v.1.0 of SSH protocol, and IANA agreed to assign port 22.

It's interesting to me simply because it's so profoundly critical, moving the platform dramatically ahead (and serving as the basis of so many other systems), and somehow it was never humanized to me -- it just was. Seeing the author discuss their motivations and process is fascinating to me.
A Facebook bot purge clobbered USA Today
Well, this again sounds like communism. No one is entitled to real estate. For that matter, there is a great amount of essentially free real estate in every country, a lot of it in good repair - just in the places where there are no jobs. That isn't even a thing - what's limited is a supply of real estate in places where everyone wants to be.

No fiscal solution could fix San Francisco housing prices, only 'fix' would be crushing Silicon Valley so it ceases to be attractive place to be.

If renting is a problem you are doing something wrong. Median gross rent in U.S. is $959 a month. That doesn't sound much for developed country to me. Buying real estate is accessible to majority of U.S. households, in fact almost every dual income household. 63.7% have it, and many who don't have it, just don't want it (for example, i am making what it takes to buy an apartment i am living in, in 8-9 months, but i am not buying because i am not a gambler). To me not buying real estate seems a rational choice, unless you have a very 'fixed' career - like, certain that you are going to stay in a place for decades. There are fewer and fewer people like that, labor market gets a lot more fluid.

I think you need to prove both these assertions. They are quite startling responses to "we have produced a quick rise to the most CO2 in millions of years" or "we have seriously damaged the biodiversity of large animals on this planet". It's as if someone said "we set the entire rainforest ablaze" and someone said "Relax! Nothing to worry about, this happened a few times naturally in the history of the Earth."

Can you at least admit that humans are behind this rise in CO2? I mean, it's not like wind and solar energy generation is going to kill the economy. So why is this even debated so much?

I'm also pretty satisfied with the forecasts on those numbers as well, within the bounds of what is reasonable to forecast. During big events, snowstorms and hurricanes, the local meteorologist will break the area I'm in into ~7 regions and give guidance like 'zones 5-7 will get 3-6" of snow, zones 1&2 12-18"' or '3-4 inches of rain north of 84'.
