> American shepherd’s pie tends to comprise ground beef, corn, and mashed potatoes, sometimes with the addition of other veggies (peas, carrots) and cheese. Using lamb would generally be considered unusual.

But that's a cottage pie then.
Explicitly not. Key management is a far from solved problem. We're not trying to fix everything.
But this is true of neural nets as well, so I'm not sure why the author was trying to contrast them. Essentially it is a question of do you want a system that works well but that no-one understands or one that works not so well but is understandable? But if you meta it, it's the same.
One of the more pernicious myths that continues to sustain ideological racism in South Africa (and its more vile outposts on the internet) is the terra nullius equivalent: that whites and Bantu-speaking blacks arrived in South Africa at the same time, and therefore large-scale dispossession of the black population didn't take place with the outward expansion of white colonials. The point about intermarriage with the San is interesting as well, because it falsifies another myth: that the dispossession of the San/Bushmen is an indication of moral equivalence between colonialists and the Bantu blacks.

Hopefully these sorts of studies, and some well constructed timelines clarify things and lay some of the self-delusion to rest.
I thought the metaphor was pretty tortured, but I generally appreciate anything that colors up dry technical writing so much that I give it a pass.
Bluespec, AMD, Qualcomm, IBM, NVidia, Micron, NXP, Samsung and a few dozen other companies are all dues paying members of the RISC-V foundation. I think it's possible for them to create a new ecosystem, just give them time.
Good points. How about you the following though: driven by all the hype surrounding deep learning and AI, consultants are currently jumping on this new thing they can sell to management without understanding much of the intricacies behind it, so even after facing many disillusions just a few years ago when the talk was all about big data, companies are now jumping towards investing in products promising some of that sweet deep learning magic.

That's fine, but the thing is they once again plan to apply it on their badly maintained data warehouses (now often somewhere in their dusty hdfs stack) to build traditional predictive models. Customer churn, next best offer, propensity modeling, that sort of thing.

I try to keep telling them that with structured data sets, and simple classification problems, a random forest or God forbid, a logistic regression model, would do just as well given that you spend some solid time in feature cleaning and preprocessing. Am I wrong in this setting? Perhaps I should also jump on the deep learning bandwagon and start selling 10 layer binary Classification networks :).

Not disagreeing with you, but I do fear that many traditional industries will be jumping on board pretty soon without any of the actual use cases to warrant deep learning.
Trust me, I don't mean the million and billion line as a dig at Hacker News, I think as a business owner, the insight and advice in this community is incredible, even for small business owners that it may not necessarily relate too all the time. I've lurked in this community for years reading articles and absorbing advice and only recently started commenting.

I work for myself with short term help hired in as needed when orders require, typically seasonal. I build customized conceal carry gun holsters for the CCW market nationally and sell internationally as well.

It's a very small business, but I worked to become a niche expert in my part of the field with my product, and I largely do everything on my own, website and marketing work, product development, research, customer support, follow up and feedback, customized manufacturing software using barcoding and kitting parts, customized shipping software, CAD, etc. My hobby is software and machine tools, it's how I relax and have fun, and it's helped my business keep overhead low and productivity up while being able to tweak things as I notice areas needing improvement.

Admittedly it's not the most efficient way of doing things compared to how I could do it with a huge team of people and lots of outside investment and expert help, but it keeps my operating overhead very minimal(!), my stress level low(!!), time available for family high(!!!), and I learned a long time ago as a small business owner that a dollar not spent is a dollar you get to keep for yourself to do things you enjoy, or choose to invest.

Your hourly rate as a business owner isn't just the total revenue coming in, you have to constantly think of expenses going out at all times. Earning $6,000 to keep $200 can be very stressful for a small business owner with an inconsistent market and the normal fluctuations that happen. Some very large businesses work on this model and scale it into the billions to really make it work, but I can't do that. I want to earn several hundred per day and keep several hundred per day (after fixed costs, taxes, etc.) I need to feed my family, keep the lights on, and save for the rainy day fund, so it's my priority.

It boiled down for me that I had a few specific requirements for myself and my business, which helped to shape my business that others in the market have not done, and as a result I know other companies eat my lunch when it comes to segments of the market, but I'm aware of these things and it was a conscious choice. I could have been as successful as some of these companies, but I personally know and talk to many of my colleagues in this position in the market and they've sacrificed more than I was comfortable with, both with health and family, most are divorced it seems.

Ultimately, the business has to work for your personal goals. If you want the billion exit, you will obviously engineer your life and the business in that direction in regards to investing and procedures, but I didn't want that game, I'm trying to make a living and not let work consume me. It's a really hard balance.
Perhaps I'm misreading your comment, but Samsung is designing its own CPU these days. It doesn't license ARM's Cortex CPUs anymore (at least for the Galaxy S/Note series) - basically it's doing what Qualcomm and Apple are doing, too.
Not yet, though it's being used internally for a few things already.

The ietf working group and the Cyrus IMAP source code are the most up to date right now. I'll be updating the proxy (perl, open source) soon.

Ask HN: Is it a good idea for engineers/entrepreneurs to learn copywriting?
Any links to learn copywriting would be great.
Really good question the OP should answer. It mskes a great difference if the ideas have been facebook for dogs or a smaller target audience therefore marketing being very hard.

But Apple is following the local laws. You're sidestepping the question - why does New Zealand care whether or not Apple pays Irish taxes in Ireland?
Thanks for posting that, was about to say the same thing. Am one of the co-chairs. AMA.
Seems like I'm just to old for that kind of addiction. Thanks for insight :)
Yeah I agree. It would be unfortunate if for example I were to register a crate called 'json' or 'http' or whatever but make it shit.
I'd rather they use Coreboot. UEFI is definitely coming "locked" to virtually all ARM-based devices, and my guess is Microsoft is at fault there, perhaps just by simply making it being locked the "default", and then the OEMs not bothering to change that.
That's opening quite a can of worms, though, isn't it? If I were selling a product that was barely breaking even, would you have the government tax me into a loss?
There are benefits to using http as a substrate, like request bundling on mobile to reduce radio and battery usage. JMAP is transport agnostic in its core form, but json for structure over https for transport is the current best choice for simplicity and developer friendliness
I wish there was an easier way to block out "external" content, I'm really, really not interested in re-shares of clickbait from newspapers and other sources, or the inevitably political outrage and bullshit that people share.

I used to use Swiftkey which was amazing. But the more it "learned", the worse the predictions would become (possibly it can't handle me switching between English and German a lot). I replaced it with the google keyboard for now, it's worse than SK at it's best but better on average. If only someone would make a swipe keyboard without any weird emoticon features and instead only some ASCII smileys and text…
Hello fellow ordinary person using an account created a year ago and finally posting today for the very first time with comically irrational outrage over the possibility of people ever moving away from md5sum thus rendering useless whatever subset of shady tools you or your employer has that we don't know about yet. Consider making innocuous comments in various threads for a few weeks before you switch to psyop mode next time.
I use the teletext service for that, around 18 items per day. Titles have 34 characters max, body max 100 words. http://nos.nl/teletekst#101
Radio news takes 5 minutes, and 1.5 speed television news takes 10 minutes. I prioritize local news. It would be nice if you could have such a format for social 'news', twitter comes to mind, but few use it that way - a few newsworthy oneliners a day.
I agree that there are ways to stay connected with the ones who 'matter'. However to me, there are many people who 'don't matter', yet with whom I'd like to stay in touch. In other words, I see three types of relations instead of 2. And for this type of inbetween 'people who matter' and 'people who I generally know but whom I don't want to meet', I am not willing to pay the extra effort of maintaining the connection without facebook.
10 Google Earth videos that show how much the world has changed
The tone of your comment is very unfortunate taking into account the content of it.

The second like you showed is just a simple FPGA implementation, you can't really use for ASIC designs.

The first one is a completely different implementation by a different company. And they are not really providing the whole source. I challenge you to find a place to download their designs yourself. I will be waiting.
Yes, I'm pretty sure the bug is not in the c++ library, but in his code.
I do think that like any other tool, it's should be handled with care. I do find Facebook useful for events (shows and concerts) and it's invaluable as a replacement for forums.
Find it much less useful as a way to connect with friends.
> Americans don't eat a lot of lamb or mutton at all do they?

Not really. Lamb and mutton are generally expensive meats and can be more difficult to find since the major chains tend not to carry them.

I once had a shepherd's pie in the US that was made with beef!

I didn't realize it was suppposed to have lamb until I was older - I grew up thinking it was a beef meal.

Presumably because they weren't able to source any lamb at all.

This rings true. I grew up eating a lot of quasi-traditional syrian food, both from my grandmother (1st generation in the US) and at church (Eastern Orthodox with a good amount of the service in arabic, and some folks that didn't speak english). Traditionally, these were made with lamb, but I had always eaten them with beef because that was what was available/affordable and folks got used to it.
> I'd say not holding to the standards of robots.txt and 403-Forbidden is quite malicious

Most hidden services don't publish robots files. The only ones that do are the proxy services (which are hidden services but not usually 'hidden'). The purpose of the proxying is to find, discover and monitor what are usually illegal or malicious services.

I don't think there are legitimate crawlers on hidden services - there are a couple of drug market search engines but they identify themselves outside of robots.txt

It's really difficult to run a large-scale hidden service because of this - you need to be able to throttle or block connections but not based on the inbound circuit. You also need to setup guards (which OP makes no mention of)

> It overloads the network, doesn't crawl and doesn't parse the responses.

It's likely adding those later responses into a crawl queue that is tens of thousands of URLs long.

Overloading the network is unintentional, usually your crawling is throttled by your circuit.
After reading the "Why is JMAP better than IMAP?" section on http://jmap.io/, what it seems to boil down to is small efficiency gains and an easier time for people writing clients. It doesn't look to me like users of clients will really gain much from their client using JMAP instead of IMAP. There's a comment about not requiring a persistent connection being better for mobile clients, but I've been using IMAP push with
K-9 on my phone for a long time now, and I've never noticed a degraded battery life from using it.

A quick look at the protocol looks like in order to get a list of mailboxes, you have to ask for them all. In IMAP, you can say, show me top level mailboxes, show me direct child mailboxes of mailbox x, etc. In a previous role, I was responsible for working on a mail archiving solution which had a large hierarchy of folders (into the thousands IIRC) in a single account. Access to the archive was via IMAP. Looks to me that JMAP here would require the client to potentially fetch megabytes of data just to start showing a list of folders, where the solution we had with IMAP probably took a couple of kilobytes at most to get started.

It does make me think that the protocol may have been designed with less thought for uncommon use cases than IMAP was, but I've only spent a few minutes looking at the protocol, so I could be wrong.
It may be, but folks tend not to call it that.
I echo the feelings of the author of this piece, and I'm very wary of a world where predictive power always trumps deeper understanding.

What we need is a complete open source "work email" solution: email, calendar, tasks, address book. I have to say that exchange is very good at that, but its not open source. I would pay, and it would be wonderful, if an open source project similar to exchange gave birth.
I agree! :D
This is exactly what the tool does! It takes a few minutes to set it up or modify. Engineers would've otherwise spends days writing, another week testing and deploying.

Can you give us some details of what your start-ups where? Where you think you may have gone wrong?

I'll give you my details:

1) ZiFiMusic - First start-up was a pandora type music service - taught myself to code, but never got traction and struggled to do a good job at music recommendation. I shut it down after about 6 months.

2) HearWhere - Took the code from the music service and turned it into a concert listing service. HearWhere was the largest database of concerts world-wide and had 25k visits per day (if I recall correctly). Our widget was embedded in Blender's homepage. Sadly, I was never able to make enough money through the affiliate links and I shut it down after 3 years.

3) NextWeeQ - an online staff scheduling system. I spoke to potential customers before building anything, got requirements and built a v1. Gave access to 5 of the companies I had spoken to. Only 1 used it, and stopped using it after a week. Following up, everybody asked for more features, but the site as it was did more than their excel spreadsheet (the existing technology) did, I provided a few of the requested features and continued to wait for usage. They never stared using, always asking for more features. I decided this wasn't a good business to be in.

4) Kitchon - ohhh...kitchon. An app that would sort out the messy timing of figuring out how to cook multiple recipes and have all the food done at the right time. The more I coded, the worse it got. Lots of interest, but I never found a business model, and never got a product into the market (aside from a few alpha tests)

5) Bucket52 - Challenge you to do one interesting/memorable thing every week. Built in one day (Dec 30th) and launched on new years. A nice bit of interest, good feedback and adoption. But, man it was hard for people to complete it! Most users gave up around mid-Feb, which is standard for New Years resolutions I guess. I shut it down at the end of the year.

Current - Doarama - lots of users, industry leading and just starting to monetize.
> China is going to need to really think things out from basic principles and decide what sort of country it wants to be over the long term. That will take a great deal of intelligent, independent thinking.

What you're describing sounds like a modernist, top-down approach, when an enlightened one in ivory tower decides on a best system of government and organization and then bestows it upon the people of the land. We all know how well something like this works out.

What China seems to be doing, on the other hand, is following the mentality of it's people. There's a lot of corruption and bad stuff happening in China - but it exactly follows the expectations and behavior of ordinary people, and exactly because of that, is more stable than an artificial and lawful democracy, implemented top-down, would be.
Thanks HN - while I'm away at Mt Gambier supporting my kid in http://generationsinjazz.com.au/ you post not one, but TWO things about my hobby horses. Turns out 6000 people in a field tends to overload the local cell, so I've had very spotty coverage.

How long is search supposed to take? Entering something common (like "gmail") takes around 5 seconds for me with 32k results. My old google mail account takes 1.5s to display the first page.
I don't think even this dichotomy is real. Deep learning methods are both performant and elegant.
Eh, i m not arguing pro communism, im arguing for some bureaucratic oversight as it happens in the EU and Germany.

Its fascinating that fanatics always see just the other extreme. There are shades of grey, and i m arguing for a quite sophisticated machinery printed in black and white - in such a fashion that it looks grey if zoomed out enough.
> CMU uses G Suite so they do have support and their email is not "datamined"

Sure. I was talking about their "consumer" offerings though.
That's how they started out, but there is always pressure to add new instructions for niche markets. But since there isn't any coherent way to implement extensions it means they have to pollute the entire ISA. RISC-V was carefully designed to allow for extensions.
I question this meme that deep learning has less mathematical elegance or interpretability than other machine learning model. It's simply not true. At this point, it reads like a mindless copypasta with the possible political intention to reduce AI funding and use, such as the EU regulation which requires all algorithms to "explain" their reasoning. Either that, or the author is just more comfortable with familiar old-school methods which makes them think that those methods are more elegant. This push towards elegance is unscientific and counterproductive, much like the mistaken push Einstein and co. made for deterministic interpretations of quantum mechanics. We can now understand that its motivation was simply due to a biased notion of elegance due to familiarity with classical mechanics.

Examples of elegance in deep learning: The gating mechanisms of LSTMs (also adds to interpretability); structure of convolutions, i.e. weight sharing, translation invariance; the policy gradient theorem (Sutton 1999); dropout, its relationship to biology and variational inference; Generative Adversarial Networks, and connections to game theory, split-brain; the reparametrization trick; the log-derivative trick; connectionist temporal classification. These examples are only the surface. Depending on your specialization inside deep learning, you'd find many more.

Examples of interpretability: Nguyen et al.'s Synthesizing preferred inputs to hidden neurons, Zeiler et al. convnet visualization, Guillaume Alain's linear probes of hidden layers, attention readouts in attentional models for machine translation or speech synthesis, and many more. Ultimately, deep learning methods are probabilistic, and decent deep learning engineers would be able to tell you why a model is doing what it's doing by printing probabilities and activation statistics, much like any other probabilistic machine learning model.
You're very welcome to comment on the IETF mailing list if you think you can make a compelling argument for having getMailboxes also take a filter allowing you to build a tree with "parentId": [null] and then use the IDs from each of those responses to create a "parentIds": [x, y, z] query.

Of course nothing stops you storing thousands of mailboxes in a non-heirarchical layout and making IMAP have large LIST fetches too.

(I do wonder - did your solution via IMAP still fetch everything each time, because in that case all you're doing is spreading that megabyte out over multiple round trips)
Yes, you dont volunteer for the singularity.
That does not modify global state - it creates a new state from the old one + your modifications.
Yep, but it's not just the official source, it's also the guy's computer who uploads the source to the PPA.

Just something to keep in mind when adding a PPA: you're tying your machine's integrity to the integrity of the PPA and its keyholder(s), and this trust is tested each time you update your packages.
That's fascinating. I would expect Americans to call a beef version of a shepherd's pie a cowboy pie. Like, what do they think the word shepherd means in this context?
> By the time we hit a similar number of years, those patents will be expired and Uber will be allowed to use the designs.

Bullshit.

The IP is still legally owned by someone else, and they're suing based up on that IP, not just because. The age of the code or technology doesn't enter into it.
> ring -2 mode

ME runs below the SMM. So ring -3 or lower.
It's amazing how far people go to defend these supranational corporations who are clearly in the wrong but I'll bite. Nearly every country on earth has a law on the books that voids transactions that only exist to avoid tax. Usually with penalties. It's 2am or else I'd reference the specific law in New Zealand, but the relevant case law in the US is from Gregory vs Helvering: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_v._Helvering

It's transparently obvious that Apple's subsidiaries in Ireland and the Netherlands exist purely to evade taxes. However their lobbying and economic power have protected them for years, which may have broken recently when the EU determined that they owe $14 billion for illegal benefits (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/31/apple-misses-deadline-to-pay-...).

So to answer your question, New Zealand has an agreement with all of the companies that they recognize their revenue and expenses and pay tax on the difference. When Apple New Zealand says that they owe their Irish counterpart hundreds of dollars per phone for licensing, and the New Zeaand authorities see that it's an obvious tax dodge shell company, they can and should question whether those hundreds of dollars fall into form vs substance. There is no actual business purpose to pay licensing fees to an Irish subsidiary that was gifted huge amounts of Apple IP.
