Well, I should have been clear that the language was based on English, so it more or less ended up as "intentionally misspelt" English with the exception of the hundred word base dictionary.

The difficulty in learning it lay, as you point out, in that people tend to parse words visually rather than phonetically. The challenge was to alter your mindset while reading, to try to parse the words phonetically rather than visually. Once you learned to do that, it was fairly easy to use it - but yes, it took some practice.

Of course I understand that these examples are not interchangeable. I just wanted to offer my observation after actually having spent some time doing something similar to what this site tries to do "for real" (well, if you can consider an RPG real:)
ASP.NET MVC for the back end is beautiful, clean, simple, and then you can use a bit of jQuery on the front or use Knockout JS if you want to do data-binding with MVVM and not have to learn with or deal with all the other crap of those frameworks mentioned as that is what MVC already does for you.

Don't reinvent a browser in the browser or waste more time on JS than you need to, you'll feel so clean separating things.
Yeah, that's exactly the problem with ARM.
I believe ISPs should be able to offer services as they wish. Same as Uber with Taxi regulations, Amazon with sales tax and BnB with hotel regulations. Demand for more government regulation from one of the main proponents of free market is weird.

We should make easier for people to start ISPs. Not add more regulation and increase barriers.

For the type of problems we commonly 'attack' with neural networks, the same criticism applies to all solutions - for the earlier solutions generally we can prove that they definitely don't/can't work in the arbitrary general case, and we can prove some boundaries of correctness that apply for a highly simplified artificial case with assumptions that doesn't really represent the real world problem we want to tackle. In many domains successfully using neural nets, the "we would not know how to give a precise characterisation" is a fundamental limitation of the task that applies to all possible methods.

I'm working on other ML areas and not computer vision, but using your own example, what methods of reconstructing complex 3D geometry from real world photographs have some way of proving that their transformation is correct within certain bounds?

For this particular example, can it even be theoretically provable since we know how to make misleading objects that produce visual illusions to appear to have a much different 3d shape that they do? (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJGT-aZKCYk was an example found by a quick searching)

In many real world domains "lots of examples" is the only proper source of truth, any formal model would be a poor approximation of that, and you'd want to have a system that can and will diverge from that model when seeing further real world data, it should be able to correct for the simplifications of that formal model instead of being provably bound to it.

actually it does deal with this particular metric somewhat in a bunch of cases.

e.g. replacing one letter with three that sound similar but are different adds 4 to the distance - which is quite a significant distance already.

Personally, I find it amazing that a project the size of Linux has relatively few automated tests and testing done by its maintainers, leading to projects such as this (and the LTP, etc.) to come about to actually ensure ongoing quality.

How many other major projects the size of Linux have as little upstream testing?
It really depends on what you value in your job and how much of that value are you getting. Do you value time flexibility, working with friendly people, more money, title, the tech/product you are working on, commute?

Thats a falacy right there- if a outer system integrates a inner system, any flaw of that integration resides upon the component in direct control of the world (the outter system). If you ingest arsenic, and your liver is unable to discard it- its not the livers fault- its the outter system who decided to put the inner system under impossible strain, thats at fault.

And democracy includes the rights to call upon government to hinder capitalism from destroying the citizens. Like it or not. If you disrespect that part of freedom, you are not a true democrat.

These symbols are in fact very important in Rust and reading the book makes their usage very clear.

I get that it may be hard to read if you're not familiar with the language, but so is * and & if you're not familiar with them in the context of pointers. Sometimes however, a language feature calls for a special symbol as is the case here.

The usage of apostrophes in English also doesn't make much sense for an outsider, but they're very much a necessary part of the language and very easy to use if you're an English speaker. Same applies for Rust.

Does DL provide mechanisms for feeding back into theory? As in, does a successful deep convolutional neural network provide a means to extract enough from it's structure and behavior to potentially not NEED the CNN for prediction in a future iteration? Gradient projects can be used to gather a total derivative quantity, and compare sensitivities across inputs. We can regularize to prevent overfitting with cross validation, L-curves, etc. But what about hypothesis generation?

For many of us that have dipped our toes in the ML tooling but don't have a great application for it in our work areas, this would is the kind of thing that we would like. A NN that predicts well, AND has a well understood methodology that gives us actual insight and not just a black box.

Maybe what I have in my head is a deterministic gradient-based analog of an evolutionary algorithm? I'm not sure.

We'd have higher quality, lower cost water and roads.

"Government agencies less likely than private to comply with environmental regulations, study finds"
Here are key points from the article linked below:

For power plants and hospitals, public facilities were on average 9 percent more likely to be out of compliance with
Clean Air Act regulations and 20 percent more likely to have committed high-priority violations.

For water utilities, public facilities had on average 14 percent more Safe Drinking Water Act health violations and were 29 percent more likely to commit monitoring violations.

Public power plants and hospitals that violated the Clean Air Act were 1 percent less likely than private-sector violators to receive a punitive sanction and 20 percent less likely to be fined.

Public water utilities that violated Safe Drinking Water Act standards were 3 percent less likely than investor-owned utilities to receive formal enforcement actions.

> I really disagree with this. I work on compilers, so I feel for the people who work on GCC, but, I think it is totally unreasonable to expect the average GCC user who might have encountered this bug to be capable of fixing this themselves.

I totally agree. GCC is reputed to be a complex beast, and few people have the spare time to get to the point where they can make the fix.

To clarify my original point: The bug apparently wasn't bad enough to cause anyone like yourself to either (a) fix it, or (b) pay someone else to fix it. So I'm at peace with this at a kind of meta/process level.

can you quote Greg back on your "At most 80% of Linux contributors have jobs at software companies" because i don't see it in there? and you can add the source for your 20% while at it. on the other hand what Greg did say is this:

> The majority of developers are paid for their work[...].

that's not at all true for our case, that's all i pointed out.

> I'm a maintainer of container runtimes at my current job but I have
> contributed code to Linux as part of my job.

if it's on company time (and thus dime) then yes, it's a paid job.

> 14% of changesets and 13% of lines changed are by people not associated with a company.

not really, more than half of each is 'unknown', so you can't tell one way or another. anyway, not sure what these are supposed to prove/disprove given what Greg himself said in the above quote.

> It's like you're not willing to acknowledge that the only reason someone would pay a two-person
> team for support on a kernel technology like grsecurity+PaX is that the same team is developing it.

indeed it's not the only reason but since it's not your business (no offense meant just stating a fact), i can't comment on this further. what i did mean however is something different than the direction you veered off: our work isn't developed because it's paid for, it's a completely volunteer free time project (spender has a day job unrelated to this work, and until about a year ago i didn't have any at all in fact). that is, if you took the money out of the picture, our work would still continue to live on as it has for the previous 16 years. that is absolutely not true for upstream linux development (if it were then all these companies have been cheated out of their money they spent on developer salaries).

Let me take your question apart a little...

> Angular and React seem to be a mish-mash of proprietary syntax and technologies (AtScript, JSX, TypeScript etc.) that paper over some of the cracks in JavaScript and CSS.

They are not "proprietary", but such they are partly an attempt to overcome "some of the cracks in JavaScript and CSS".

> Are these transitory technologies that will be replaced by something better in the near future?

I do not think so.

> Is there a better alternative available today?

As you mentioned JS (and to a lesser extend CSS) is the problem. A problem that Angular and React do not fix. People in this thread will mention Vue and Svelte as alternatives to Angular and React, but these also do not fix the underlying problem: JS.

TypeScript and Flow fix some of JS's problems. But a real next level approach that is available today is given by real compile-to-JS languages: Elm, PureScript and ReasonML.

It deserves to be mentioned these are all primarily "functional" languages. And not for no reason, FP is kind of the best option we have to avoid the OO/imperative-dramas we become tired of.

And Reason is particularly interesting as it can also compile to native (PureScript as well but not very mature in that regard), it is backed by Facebook (25% of messenger.com is ported to ReasonML already) and thus has well supported React bindings (allowing interop with the React ecosystem).
Dart is a sane language with great tooling. It has its own version of Angular which works great. It is available today!
I cannot fault the communities around React and Angular and the support that they give to each ecosystem. I would say that the React community seems to be 'stronger' these days.

I note some people are mentioning other JavasScript frameworks (e.g. http://aurelia.io/ https://vuejs.org/ https://mithril.js.org/ https://choo.io/ https://svelte.technology/ ) They ALL have their merits, but it all comes down to the development community around them, and for me, the jobs out there.

Recently somebody asked in our local JS group what framework to learn and everyone responded with React. The jobs are there, the dev community is strong, and more importantly the learning curve is good, particularly with the hand holding create-react-app now does. Yes, down the line, you will have to learn react-router and maybe redux/mobx, but all in good time.
It also works well in non npm/node.js environments.
> Is there a reason why all the above software cannot perform as "fast" or "safe" as Rust when written in other programming languages? After all, every program compiles down to machine code/assembly.

Yes, the reason is things like garbage collection and language runtime. Every program does ultimately run some form of machine code, but the amount and type of code generated can vary very widely, not even considering things like VM where you have another couple of layer of abstraction that slow things down.
I generally find Chaucer easier to understand than Shakespeare. Not sure if I'm alone in that.
I may have chosen a bad example in the form of reconstructing 3D geometry. But take sentence parsing instead. If I parse a sentence using classical techniques, I know exactly how that works and exactly which sentences would or wouldn't be accepted. That level of understanding isn't (currently) possible with deep learning techniques, even if in some cases they perform better.

It's true that some problems are so ill-defined that all you can judge is whether or not a particular technique succeeds over a sample of interesting cases. But not all problems are like that.

>what methods of reconstructing complex 3D geometry from real world photographs have some way of proving that their transformation is correct within certain bounds?

The issue I have with this is that it's essentially giving up on understanding how reconstruction of 3D geometry works. One might at least hope that the techniques that make it possible to do this from real-world photographs are, with some idealization, the same techniques that make it possible to do this (nondeterministically) from a 2D perspective rendering of a 3D scene made of polygons. And we certainly can prove results about the effectiveness of those techniques. I think it's far too early to give up on that possibility and just say "it's all a mess, and whatever methods happen to work happen to work".

>we know how to make misleading objects that produce visual illusions to appear to have a much different 3d shape that they do?

But that supports my point, I think. We can prove that those objects have the propensity to give rise to illusions given certain assumptions regarding the algorithms used to reconstruct the scene. We can't (yet) prove what kinds of objects would fool a deep learning model.
Humanity is very vague, it was the Nazi Germany (wernher von braun) who mastered the rocketry, without them the space program would have been years if not decades behind. btw i don't get the amazement when 28 years ago we had Voyager's 2 flyby photos of Neptune.
That's not an argument, it's a statement of ideology. You might believe it, but it's not going to convince anyone who doesn't share your premise that less regulation is always better.

Many people believe that regulations can create something far closer to the economic ideal of a Free Market than property rights alone. For example, food labelling regulation arguably moves the market closer to perfect information, which is a necessary feature of an idealised Free Market.
This is one the most insightful responses, so much of this rings true to me.

It's relatively straightforward to just echo out some html from a server. This works pretty well, and conceptually it's easy.

I remember reading an article recently (I can't find it) that argued that the human readable part of the web should have been just this, a place for static pages to render and be read. The reason it works so well is because that was what it was designed and build for. So it has basically just completely escalated by its attempt to replace native applications. Except it is and always will be worse at everything a native application does.

You have to seriously ask yourself if you actually have that problem before just jumping on the bandwagon.

I suppose that is sort of complicated by the fact that every framework out there tries to sell itself as the best thing since sliced bread, except advertising what is for.

There's no need to make a point that EHRs are somehow any more valuable than identity information - being a common source of identity information is sufficient to get targeted, especially as all the other sources of identity data are (slowly) hardening their systems and processes.

"any service that stores profiles including SSNs" isn't a particularly wide qualifier. The narrow domain of such services have had a long history in learning how to do that properly, and there really aren't any major new domains that are just starting to have stores of data that's useful for identity theft but weren't electronically available before - except EHRs, which are useful to current criminals, are just recently made electronic, and are poorly secured since this problem is new for them.

Rental cars (booked in Germany or Switzerland) often included restrictions for me.
Most of the time they excluded a number of eastern/balkan states, quoting (if they offered reasons at all) insurance prices would be higher. The more expensive the car, the more likely were these limitations: Booking a Golf was 'go anywhere', booking a BMW 5-something .. not so much.

It's things like this that bring machine learning to the masses, which also typically lowers costs and makes it more available for niche uses.

It's a lot easier and more forgiving to use machine learning to pick what picture or outfit you look best in than it is to use it in medicine or architecture. As the technology matures, you will see it move in to those sectors very rapidly.
