Sounds like you are describing containers; while not emulation neither is virtualization.

Another possibility would be User-mode Linux (UML), in contrast to containers, it gives each 'virtual machine' its own Linux kernel, where the Linux kernel runs as another Linux program.

I cannot describe how frustrating it is to get a completely counterfeit product off amazon or to have to carefully comb through reviews to make sure a previously great product hasn't been replaced with an inferior one differing from the description and photos - and I doubt I have to, since it happens to everyone who uses amazon regularly now. I too am feeling fed up, and it's getting to the point where it's now convenient enough to just drive to the store since at least that way I know I'm getting what I pay for and not something literally different from what's depicted.

Case in point, I was looking for a motorcycle trickle charger and was pleased to find the same battery tender I remember my father using on Amazon[0]. However, a cursory look at the reviews shows it has been redesigned and is different and less reliable than the product in the photos and descriptions, and is available online for cheaper with the same shipping. The solution? I drove to walmart and bought the trickle charger I remember my dad having because it was on the shelf there.

That rule is treading a very thin line, if the government can't legally compel you to do something they are reserving the right to deny you basically every "privilege" they can. At a certain point the government could basically prevent you from being able to go about a normal life for not waiving your rights on demand for nearly anything. It seems like this specific instance is possibly on the ok side of the line, but if so just barely.

> For technical reasons, the agency ended up collecting messages sent and received domestically as a byproduct of such surveillance, the officials said.

"Oops didn't mean to."

Keep in mind that the NSA lied to Congress very recently. Thanks to Snowden they were caught in that lie. I don't believe anything they say.

It looks like this is likely a temporary cease & desist in order to get court authorization for their "broader warrantless surveillance program" while they figure out how to get those "bundled messages" into a separate repository.

I'd guess the NSA will eventually resume this massive email collection program once they can get it such that it's in compliance with the Court rules (which they seem to have been unable to do quickly right now hence ceasing it).

The good news, however slight it may be, is that the NSA may be at least obeying court orders somewhat rigorously.
This kind of information is very useful to know - even if you firmly believe regulation of automatic firearms is a good idea. I'm not a gun enthusiast, but this summary helps shed some light on a debate many folks are badly informed on. Thanks.
Yeah, same here. Sometimes I might give away a bit of the punchline by asking if I've told them about X, before launching into the story. But generally, it's left for last, like all good stories. Otherwise, it's the definition of anti-climactic.

When giving information to someone, sure, lead with the important stuff. But when telling a tale? Pff, no.
Hey, I'm one of the creators of this -- I trained the LSTMs that wrote the computer generated segments in this film. The ballet choreography was generated with a context-free grammar, because I couldn't find enough material to make a ballet choreography LSTM.

Here's our film from last year, Sunspring, which was written entirely by an LSTM trained on science fiction screenplays:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY7x2Ihqjmc

It's worth noting that this year I used subtitle files rather than screenplays to train our LSTMs, so we only had dialogue rather than dialogue + action descriptions. The Ars Technica article explains everything.
Absolutely. I try not to bad mouth the individual - because the two guys seemed like good people.

Secondly, programming - to a degree - is "art". My version of a masterwork is different than yours.

But the framework decisions? Lack of documentation? Lack of source control? No dev environment? etc. Decisions and foundational information that is demonstrably wrong and needs fixing? And what we have done/are doing/will do? THOSE are the things to focus on.
Finding the disadvantaged areas is the comparatively easy part. Many municipalities have maps of neighborhoods that have food insecurity, housing insecurity, an obvious lack of transportation, terrible graduation rates and test scores, high crime rates, and a lack of registered businesses that aren't primarily liquor stores or fast food.

Yes, it is hard to get businesses past the stigma of these neighborhoods. But what's the worst thing that happens? You offer the tax credit and nobody takes it? I think the bigger risk is if they take it, but the government doesn't step up to provide other services that are needed for these businesses to thrive.

No, I would not say having the government open offices is going to do anyone any good. But it could be beneficial to start a program in addition to this credit where the government can go into these neighborhoods and have classes where they teach people how to become local entrepreneurs (I think they do this already in a limited fashion in "nicer" areas)

Mainly my proposal applies to the urban poor, but rural areas still have some untapped opportunity. Take the rest of the world's rural poor as an example: small farmers organize into co-ops whose products are then sold on one or more markets (which depending on the market will be either horrible or great for them). I think in 20+ years when automated transportation starts to become a real thing, we'll be able to more cheaply scale out small manufacturing jobs to rural people. Ideally this could again use a co-op model, but I haven't seen many tech companies with that in mind.

Everything I have mentioned, btw, you could start with a private organization and then get government funding to cover a portion of your expenses. For example, most food banks and school lunch programs get most of their funding privately. They could also re-route some of the ridiculous defense spending back into food assistance programs, which we know is a benefit to local economies.
I find I'm more willing to talk about myself if engaged in meaningful dialogue.

For example, I get this a lot as an opening question, mainly from crooters (actual hiring managers almost never do this): "What are your skills?"

You mean like numchuck skills, bow-hunting skills? If you don't know what kind of skills I have that could possibly be germane to the positions I'm looking for, you obviously didn't even read my résumé, which means you don't have a clue, which means I am hanging up on you because obviously you can't help me.

If you say "Can you tell me about your role at company X, what sort of challenges you had, etc." I'm more willing to open up.

Strange to see an academic paper without any context making it on the front page of HN, I didn't know that many people would be interested by Geometric algebra.

The abstract was promising:

> This paper presents an efficient implementation of geometric algebra, based on a recursive representation of the algebra elements using binary trees. The proposed approach consists in restructuring a state of the art recursive algorithm to handle parallel optimizations.

Unfortunately I found the results and conclusion disappointing.

That method sounds interesting for the problem, unfortunately there's no figures/tables presenting the results at all, and no mention of parallel optimizations (Unless the SIMD optimization is what the authors refer as parallel optimizations. I was expecting multi cores optimizations, or at least shared memory multi-threading or GPU computing).

They focus heavily on theory, but only ~2 pages out of 21 are about results. I'm used to read papers where the experimental results describe the experimental setup (What hardware etc.)

They only give small hints about expected results such as:

> The results show here an overall 25% relative gain over Gaigen mainly due to the SIMD implementation

But it's hard to wrap your head around this. Is it SIMD on a 4 core machine? 8 core? 2 cores? Knowing the hardware setup would change my perception of the results. Especially the prior-art mentions "Gaalop" a CUDA/OpenCL implementation. Why is that not what they compare their results with?

The authors describe Galoop as "the most recent efficient implementation of the geometric algebra" but yet seem to contradict themselves in the Conclusion:

> We show that the proposed method is at least as fast as the main state of the art specialized geometric algebra implementations.

Is Gaigen or Galoop the state of the art? I found this confusing.
It's depends on your domain. However most domains are just as much about behaviour and data then just data.

Bugs are just as likely to occur in the database programming language as they are in application logic.

In fact i think tooling around unit testing is far more mature in general purpose languages.
This is it. In a largely secular society, an atheist group makes no sense, but in a largely theistic society, an atheist group is natural.

> we as a society don't understand that the purpose of automation is humanitarian

If "we as a society" don't understand the supposed purpose of something that we as a society are enacting, then that supposed purpose is academic and ultimately meaningless.
There is no universal agency or purpose behind automation other than that of those who are building it, who to date have largely been capitalists and not utopians.
This is demonstrably false as we've already seen companies fight against regulations that force them to provide information about products (like country of origin or GMO labeling). The companies actually argue that giving the consumer more information puts them at a disadvantage because consumers might be misinformed about the implications of this new information, e.g. "GMOs are bad, so I won't buy them".

For the record, I think the argument is correct, I just don't think it justifies concealing the information, people should be able to use whatever arbitrary or incorrect criteria they please when it comes to how they spend their money.
Right, but I thought that VS Code was going to the only concession to cross-platform coding. It's cross-platform, but built on completely different tech and obviously designed for a different kind of workflow to Visual Studio. I assumed it was intended to be a "gateway drug" to lure a few more people to fully leaded Visual Studio.
>> Rust, on the other hand, is closer to C++ in that it has no real runtime and no GC. On top of that, it brings compile-time memory safety and lots of other modern features to systems programming.

I think that's it in a nutshell.

I want to write a program in a language that allows modern programming construction... Cool: Python, Ruby, JavaScript (ES 6+), Haskell, Elixir

The language must be fast... OK, so maybe Java or C#?

I need to control the response times and can't have GC pauses. It needs to be really fast... Assembly!

Stop... OK, OK, you're kind of stuck with C or C++.

Sigh. I want a modern language that compiles to bare metal, doggone it. What should I do?

This is what Rust is. Memory safety without GC, and a modern language without an interpreter or runtime. Plus all the package management/build tool/library ecosystems that all those 1990s languages have. (Would you believe that Java, Ruby, and Python are all more than 20 years old and that Java is the youngest of the three?!?)
I'm one of the creators, and I assure you we did not use Markov. I trained the LSTMs myself.

Thirteen years of thunderbirding - downloading all imap for local keeping, and with numerous migrations between servers - has not lost me a single email. In fact, I have all mail correspondance since the mid nineties - around a hundred thousand mails - neatly archived in Thunderbird folders.

>Calling United's call center to get a resolution isn't a "temper tantrum." It is the correct course of action in the circumstances.

So disobeying flight crew instructions, then law enforcement instructions, and finally insisting on working your way through first-line support at the company's call center while you single-handedly continue to delay an entire flight is the correct course of action in that situation?

The way cops handled the situation was absolutely awful, and in my opinion they should be footing his medical bills. However, it doesn't mean he was justified in his actions.

Such actions could even be perfectly understandable in circumstances involving an underlying medical condition (dementia, mental illness, severe hypoglycemia, whatever).

How you can suggest it's the correct course of action for someone of sound mind though is puzzling at best. I can't even begin to comprehend the level of entitlement that delaying an entire flight would require.
thanks for suggesting Nuzzle, I had not heard of this before.

Part of her skull was damaged when she was a child. At the time it was replaced by some kind of plastic. But from what I gather it slowly started to deteriorate, until it got infected and pressure built up and it had to be removed/replaced.

From what I can gather it's a piece a little over 10cm in diameter and resides above her ear.

First of all, the article doesn't mention Markov, and there are a lot of ways to generate text, so you may be jumping to conclusions.

Second, the concept of AI is so fragmented, varied, and overloaded, that who's really to say Markov text generation isn't a simple AI?

And TBH, there's not much difference between Markov chains and most AI and machine learning algorithms. The math's a little different, but they're almost all based on probability and statistics (and sometimes searching) and none of them really understand anything.
“If you continue this simple practice every day, you will obtain some wonderful power. Before you attain it, it is something wonderful, but after you attain it, it is nothing special.”

> Quite simply, software is much easier to learn than medicine, so you have a larger supply of capable software engineers than doctors. If the market for their services is being artificially suppressed, they will gravitate to wherever their services can make money.

The black market for exploits is already very lucrative. Devs willing to take that money are probably doing so already.

> There is a black market for medical services. Ever heard of a back-alley abortion?

Back alley abortions exist mostly because of restrictions on legal abortions, not because doctors aren't allowed to practice without license.

Flat tax was just something that came to mind. I am not stuck on the idea, I just think we could have something much simpler than what we have that requires less of peoples time each year. I heard in Canada, the system does it all for you and its much less of a time suck than what we have here.
As someone on the hiring side of the table, I rarely care about how technically complicated it was and more about WHY it was hard, how you figured it out, and how you avoided it in the future. I've made some really dumb typos in my code that caused a debugging nightmare for me in finding them.

As a recent example, in my game engine I copy/pasted some code for framebuffer and texture creation and missed renaming one variable. A stupid mistake that took me 2 days to find. But to solve it, I needed to look at all of the various textures on-screen. Some of them are non-linear, some are single component (just red) which doesn't display well, so I ended up writing a method that allowed me to render all of the various stages of my renderer out to the screen (color, shadow, light, depth, normals, etc.) as a debug method. Only then did I realize that the shadow buffer texture was sized to width * width instead of width * height. Again, a stupid mistake, but now we've got something to dig into a talk about and it's much more about the solution than the problem.
That's definitely how I started, but I'm working with my own LSTM now. Here's a bit about my process from last year:

I am well aware of how it works. What I said is that the incentives to offer more than what they are legally required to offer by the IDB regulations (which does have an upper limit) are significantly lessened since the IDB rules give them a "get out of contract free" card for that amount.
Actually, they dropped that charge. (Apparently, even if what they thought was true, it would not be considered insider trading legally.). She went to prison for "lying" to investigators about the reasons the sold the stock. 18 U.S.C. § 1001
Yes, this was exactly my feeling reading through the Idris book. In the same way that a few lines of elegant Haskell can sometimes describe functionality that takes all kinds of technically-works-but-only-the-author-understands-it C++ template abuse, a few lines of straightforward Idris can sometimes replace all kinds of Haskell "type family abuse".

all kinds of s can be elegantly described in a few lines of Haskell,
How can I use InSpec over SSH to verify that my Linux installation is secure?
Same here. Also neddick is very close to "needdick". Maybe it's a purposeful word play.
this is exactly why 2FA with SMS is not secure at all. If someone really wants to get into your account all you have done is added one extra step where they need to steal your phone account and then they steal your other account. It has been shown how easy it is to steal someones phone account and transfer the number to a cheap burner phone or online service. This also kills your cell service so unless you have another phone to use you cant even call to secure your accounts so the attacker has plenty of time to break in to all your other accounts

"This is not impressive" That's because I've given you a mile high description.

We have an outside consultant who does one thing: Fix businesses.

When he says this is the worst situation he's ever seen? I take it with a little more weight than I'd take someone else saying it.

While I understand and don't disagree with what you say - a full rewrite is normally not the answer - you haven't seen this codebase. Or the company structure.

We aren't exactly doing a "full rewrite"... it would honestly be easier in many respects - we are keeping the company functional while replacing large chunks.

Aka Keeping the Train Moving while changing the Engine and the Wheels.

This isn't JUST a code base issue. Or JUST a culture. Or JUST management. It's a combination of all those - and many more that can't be covered in 3 paragraphs.

I could talk for 8 hours - and scratch the surface - of where we are and where we need to be.

We both agree that orchestration is critical. Yet orchestrators are fairly new, the docker hype was strong long before they were viable, or existed at all.

You'll forgive me but implying that one one should just use an orchestrator points to one ignoring their history -or lack thereof-.

I have seen entire clusters taken out by a regression. Sadly, even the best orchestration cannot do much better than the core it is running on. You can google "docker in production" to get more substance.
