In my experience the common reason among Russian parents who send their children into local language schools and want their children integrated cite "a better future" and economic opportunities.

Also, you make a sarcastic remark regarding not kicking people out as if that is what everyone does and doesn't require special mention. It just so happens that moving people forcibly around has been the modus operandi of various Russian regimes. [1] They come invade us, and then gather up the intellects and other elite members of the community and ship them off to Siberia in cargo trains. Not only that, but wives are separated from their husbands, children from their parents, families split apart and sent to different parts of the Siberian woods to make sure they won't find anyone to speak their native language with. Then people who already speak Russian are massively transported into the country to help with the Russianification efforts. [2]

To make matters worse, it's not like all of this is only some historic event that is looked at in shame like Germany and the nazis. Putin and his regime, and the local non-integrating Russians think that Soviet Union was the best thing ever and that its fall was the greatest tragedy of the 20th century.

There have been monstrous attempts by Russia at obliterating the Baltic cultures. The remaining non-integrating Russians are pawns in this culture war. I do think that we have been more than fair in offering them an opportunity to integrate into the community and to leave the atrocities of the past behind us. When they refuse, but also don't go back to Russia and keep praising the historic invading Russians as heroes. Well it's dissapointing, insulting, and frankly for our little nations it's also a case of fighting for the survival of our cultures.

I haven't met anyone that has said that they consider themselves "non-binary", "transsexual", "transgender", or any of the other subtly different labels that they could use, but part of the current zeitgeist, especially within socially liberal-leaning circles, is to spread awareness of how diverse human sexuality is.

I don't think that there are really solid numbers for how different people identify themselves. The information would have to be self-reported, and since there would still be some social stigma attached in many places, I doubt that a survey would end up being very accurate.
If political correctness means not making demeaning jokes about women in your code, then yes, it's absolutely mandatory. Even if you were the most sexist business owner, it should still be obvious that behavior like this invites sexual harassment lawsuits in a professional setting.

And there are plenty of people who manage to be both unconventional and creative without making a juvenile joke that amounts to little more than slut shaming women for using a dating app.

How do you plan to do that?
When someone you know tells you something important to them that you're uninterested in, you typically feign interest, possibly surprise without consciously thinking about it. Similarly, you can feign surprise at someone's ignorance not because you're really surprised but to berate them. It's also often done on autopilot, which is what the rule discussed in the post is about.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'that's not what the word means'. You said 'reflexive feigned surprise' is 'sociopathic'. Reflexively representing some emotional state other than the one you exactly feel is a basic aspect of the way we behave and communicate. When someone's ability to do that is impaired, it's considered a handicap.

Surprise is a mechanism that alerts you that your understanding of the world doesn't match observation -- it informs you that either your expectation was in error or your observation was.

You should not be surprised to often be surprised about others' understanding -- the typical mind bias means our models of others track far more closely to our own internal state than reality.

It can make sense to confirm the observation -- "you don't know about X?" -- but you don't have to do it condescendingly. You can do it in an excited manner, both in tone and in words: "You don't know about X? Awesome, I didn't know I was going to get to tell someone about X today!"

This is easier done once you train yourself to notice surprise as being a signal about your own ignorance rather than being about the other person, and once you know to expect such surprises.
The problem is that the your entire argument rest on the assumption that every individual have equal power, which is objectively not true if you allow for property to accumulate in the hands of a small elite.

The central flaw of libertarianism is that it depend on property rights to essentially be worthless to work in the real world, as any scarcity allows for a libertarian dictatorship based solely on the idea that property rights are sacred, and need to be protected by the state.
I would be surprised if distros got rid of it anytime soon. There's still a vast amount of relatively old non-UEFI hardware that people still use, and it's not going to suddenly change, because that hardware is plainly "good enough" for all practical purposes - so it's only going to be replaced if and when it fails. Even Windows hasn't so much as announced a switch to UEFI boot only, and Linux generally supports old hardware for much longer. So I wouldn't be surprised if it's still there in a decade - maybe not in all distros, but at least in some mainstream ones, especially more "hackerish" like Arch and Gentoo.

As for motherboards, I doubt they'd get rid of it that soon, either. If only because having it there means that OEMs can ship devices with FreeDOS preinstalled to dodge the licensing fees. As I understand, legacy mode is basically just an emulation layer on top of UEFI, and it's fairly cheap (and already there).

This is different for mobile and tablet devices like Surface, which aren't really advertised as general-purpose PCs in the first place. Since they're only expected to run whatever's preinstalled on them, so long as it only needs UEFI, they will likely ship with UEFI only. But I'm not running Linux on such things.

Just to act as a devil's advocate: it seems like only a little better change from banning something to branding it with a tag such as "racist" or "sexist" or any of the reasons why we ban things currently. I do agree that it makes it much easier to research things, since then you do continue to have access to the primary source of truth rather than screenshots from some shady websites. The problem seems to be that some things are just too vile to leave on the public internet... Personally, I'm not too sure how to deal with this. e.g. religious rhetoric can frequently be incredibly incendiary and motivate a large group of people to violence.

They are clearly pictured as being private tunnels for Tesla owners, which allow the rich technologist to avoid surface traffic, charge their car while on the tunnel platform, and avoid driving through all those uncomfortable poor regions.

It will interact with the surface economic reality in the same way that flying Audis in tunnels interact with the dystopian wilderness in Hollywood sci-fi films.
> So right now, if two pieces are too close together on the belt, they just go into the default bucket?

Yep. But this fortunately does not happen often.

> What is the limiting factor determining how many buckets you can operate with?

Belt length, measurement precision during the stitching, cumulative errors in the math determining how far the belt has moved.

> And I may have missed this detail, but you must perform a multi stage sort since you just have a few buckets?

Yes.

> What is the level of the final sort, and what becomes of the parts at that time?

A single part category in multiple colors, or and that's the next level, all (or at least most) of the parts required to make 6 sets + remainder.

That final stage is a bit tricky, it also interfaces with a database that keeps track of the lot id of that set and what parts are still missing. I have most of the pieces for that second idea ready now but they are not yet tied together.
I work for a mill that cleans and sorts grains and beans (taking the rocks out, stems out, etc.), and it's fascinating to see the parallel invention of something really similar! We have a bunch of different steps:

1) Air is blown through the product and any dust is taken out.
2) The product is run through a bunch of screens that take out anything too big or too small.
3) The product is put through a gravity separator to separate based on mass.
4) Finally, the product is put through an optical sorter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0gWUeqzk_o) which uses blasts of air to push out unwanted materials from a stream of falling product.

I'm sure you could use the same process for Legos. Not sure about how to distinguish between branded and unbranded Legos though.

>You would just have to notice the commercial usage, as what happened when the teenager who was captured in a CC-licensed photo on Flickr found herself in a Virgin Mobile campaign

The issue in that case was (IANAL) nothing to do with the CC licensing but with the fact that the photo was used for a commercial (i.e. marketing/advertising) purpose. Those require a model release form, hence the requirement by microstock sites for model releases.

Virgin Mobile messed up in that they used a photo for a marketing campaign that didn't have a model release form either directly or through an agency that had vetted it.

Editorial use in the US at least doesn't require this even though it's commercial use in the sense that a for-profit entity is using the photo to illustrate a story.
This reminded me of Penney's Game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penney's_game).
AlphaGo uses TensorFlow.

DeepMind announced the were switching over to use TensorFlow not long ago.

TensorFlow is fully open-source, you can go and read the algorithms on Github. Neural networks aren't particularly hard to understand.

The post you are responding to paraphrases the situation, and neglects to mention goal states/conditions, but is otherwise a fair summary of how neural networks work.

Neural networks, particularly the 'deep' ones, do seem to operate almost like magick. Disbelief is to be expected, but I suggest you take a proper look at them yourself, and see what they can actually do.

If you can grok Python, I highly recommend playing with the Docker image of TensorFlow, which provides a Jupyter notebook (Python in a web interface) where you can easily make use of existing pre-trained models, extend them, and/or build your own models — suitable for application to all kinds of problems / problem domains.

Siraj Raval's videos also cover neural networks in almost every aspect - from coding your own NN from scratch for digit recognition (using just NumPy), through explaining what TensorFlow is, how it works, and how to use it — along with a lot of other machine-learning algorithms, libraries and cloud services.

Many of these topics are just a 5-10 minute video (some with longer live-coding 'deep dive' follow-ups), and many of the code examples are fully functional but just a screen or two of code.

There's also some great new videos on AI / machine learning by Google and Facebook on Youtube that are well worth a watch if the topic interests you.

I use it this way for debit card transactions. I never receive money through PayPal, I don't keep money in my "wallet" there, and my bank account is not linked. Although I made my account when I was 15 or 16, I should be alright. The worst that could happen is I might be unable to pay for a few things.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure an account is even necessary for my use-case. Maybe I can get away with just deleting it.

Show HN: [WebGL Demo] Indirect Lighting Using Reflective Shadow Maps
Each communication technology tends to cycle through phases: Invention, pioneering, commercialisation, lock-down and obsolescence: telegram, telephone, radio, cinema, TV, etc. Internet is in the lock-down phase if net neutrality is not enforced. Without net neutrality providers can split the Internet into channels and make bundles out of channels, like this: Base Internet $29.95 plus International sites $5 plus news $5, and so on. This way they can make more money. However this will force out the long tail (niche content) and force us into walled gardens and in the future even get us an Internet as locked-down as China's. This is not capitalism, but corporatism. We should fight the lock-down by donating to specific non-profits, educate about the open Internet, contact representatives and share the article.

Perhaps one should make a tl;dr out of this?
I'm a little confused. Why is this special? Is the difference this is generated from training instead of samples?

Hello, I'm the writer of this demo.
Because this is WebGL, this demo may or may not run, so here(https://github.com/Erkaman/webgl-rsm) you can see
an image of what it should look like.

This is an implementation of Indirect Lighting using Reflective Shadow Maps(http://www.klayge.org/material/3_12/GI/rsm.pdf).
This technique results in some nice color bleeding effects, which can be seen in the red glow on Lucy(statue)
and the blue glow on the cute rabbit. This is light that has bounced from the colored walls.

The implementation details can be found in the repo: https://github.com/Erkaman/webgl-rsm#implementation-details
Thanks so much for this! I'm just getting started with ML and deep learning so anything with visuals and "knobs"/"dials" with real-time feedback to visually show relationships of changes and their effects is a huge eye opener!
There are a lot of systems that can follow this style of approach to dealing with the baddies. Bear in mind our gear these days have huge amounts of RAM and a fair bit of CPU. We have kernel based firewalls that can handle utterly huge tables and highly sophisticated queueing mechanisms. Heading into userspace we have mailer daemons a plenty, Squid, HA Proxy and the like, all of which can be used in this way.

For example if you enter three bad usernames into a certain Exchange OWA I manage, then HAProxy sends you off to a fake login page and I hoover the data. If you enter a legitimate username but multiple incorrect passwords then the same thing happens. The fake login page runs rather slowly but not too slow. IPs that fail are fed to the firewall. I maintain a whitelist of IPs for users that have a static IP at home. If a legitimate user falls foul of that lot, they are reminded about VPNs.

Funnily enough simply ratcheting up your TLS to 1.2 minimum fixes an awful lot of cracking attempts. Older unpatched systems simply can't even connect, let alone try to login. Sadly this wont be an option for many orgs (someone will insist on owning some wanky old thing and be too stingy to upgrade it and have enough clout in the firm to foil you) but as I happen to own mine I get to lay down the law 8)
This isn't true in the UK. Contracts with children are valid (although there are gotchas). Besides which, is signing up for PayPal a contract in the first place?
Actually an interesting question.

If the TOS includes the terms (1) you certify that all information provided to us is accurate (2) if you breach the TOS you must stop using the product and (3) you certify that you are over 18.

Then your continued use after age 18 may in fact signify entering a contract, even though you were under 18 when you signed. It also may not. Capacity/consideration/intent to be bound are really tricky in this case.
The multiple implementations exponentially increase the breakdown of consensus. The network is literally unusable often. Their consensus is so bad, that the last breakdown of consensus created the nunber 6 crypto marketcap "currency" "etherum classic" which has "value" of $485 million as this is written.

It has no high fees, for there is no demand for what it does, and if there was demand, no limit to the supply to fill it. Have they decided how much "gas" it takes to run things yet, or are they still manually humanly moving that number around, you know, the only number that would give an ETH any scarcity and thus upward price potential?

NASA knows how to build software that is unlikely to fail, and saves or costs human lives. Little to none of the lessons NASA has learned regarding mission critical software development is used by Ethereum. Being turning complete is the enemy of consensus. The halting problem pretty much makes writing smart contracts that do what you want and nothing else in a turing complete language extremely difficult to the point of near impossiblity.

Thus, ETH may some day be useful for something, but making ETH tokens valuable isn't one of those things.
Whether a thing can be null or not is orthogonal to whether it is a pointer or a reference.

The main difference in this definition is on whether you need to dereference to access the value pointed at (like you do in C) or not.
I read the parent as saying that they assumed photos on a service could/would be used for who knows what purpose, not that it's the fair or legal thing to happen. That seems a reasonable assumption to start with and be pleasantly surprised when it doesn't happen.

That is not the same case morally as Tinder because photos posted on Reddit are public and have no expectation of privacy. (also, it's not technically complex to get the image URLs from the Reddit data dumps, albeit getting the images themselves will likely hit a ToS violation)

yes -- I'm not a lawyer but in the united states there's case law ruling that clickwrap / TOS are enforceable contracts in some cases. (subject to standard limitations from UCC, contracts of adhesion, and rules of forming a contract).
You have serious problems if this enrages you. Let other people hack in peace. Go do your own "right" thing and leave the rest of us alone.
Imagine every service station across <big continent> now accepts Bitcoin or Ethereum. Ten years pass. Most vendors now have 10-ish year old Point Of Sales systems.

How are you going to convince everyone to upgrade their POS (either software upgrade or potentially requiring a hardware upgrade) to accept your newly forked cryptocurrency.

Generally speaking, the point of currency is to be able to exchange it for goods or services. That is the main need which people want their currency to do.

The value of cash is closely linked to the value of that denomination on the global market also, so I don't believe cryptocurrency is any different in that respect.
Maybe forbidden isn't the right word, but the fact is that so far I didn't see you address anything in the substance of the criticism towards this project, only criticise the people for criticising Musk. Also, if you read my comment you will find I never did call Mr Musk foolish. He is clearly a bright person. That doesn't make his ideas out of bounds for criticism for eternity, though, nor does it stop him from saying things that are clearly foolish, every now and then (the whole "the universe is a simulation" thing).

(4), That's a very neat machine!

What is the %age by weight of 'trash' versus 'good stuff' for such a sorter?

I do use screens for various pre-sorting stages, not shown in the article. The sorter is only good for parts up to 40 mm and anything that isn't a wheel or round so it will roll away while being imaged.

That's by far the bulk though so for me if it does that part well it is already more than worth it.

Branded/unbranded: spectrum is different (far more different than you would say by looking at it with the naked eye), weight does not match for the part (though this can be very close with really good fakes), logo on the studs is different.

I've been thinking about doing that gravity thing, but a bit more fancy, rather than just a binary sort to shoot parts in several directions, an alternative is a spiral slide under a steep angle where parts are fed in at the top and ejected when they reach the right bin.

That's a lot more complicated to make than what I have right now mechanically and also the time available for a classification operation would be much shorter, but it would allow for a much larger number of output bins without taking up a whole lot of space. So maybe a next generation, if I still need it (this one is going through piles of lego now).

While I don't disagree, at this point it's not news that the President says things which are not based in reality. I'd rather they just publish a piece every month to gather them up for those interested and publish more articles focused on what he actually did than what he said because frankly he doesn't really follow through on what he says anyway.

If anything I feel like the focus on what he says is just distracting people from the more important news which is what he's doing.
