Back when I still had glasses, I tried 3D printing a small structure that takes in lenses from an online glasses shop. It didn't quite work, and I abandoned it because my Vive is pretty decent with glasses.
OP here:

Full disclosure, I've been working on that code today (unrelated to this blog post), and the formatting is mostly done through linters. (e.g. autopep8, and abusing the Format Document button in VS Code)

There are still a few PEP8 violations which the linter doesn't fix (e.g. the 79 character width) and there are still a few things that need fixing. (after I commit my 4x speedup refactor, anyways)

Relevant VS Code settings:

"editor.rulers": [80],
"python.linting.pep8Enabled": true,
"python.formatting.provider": "autopep8",
"python.linting.pylintEnabled": false,
I'm running i3, polybar, connman and rofi as my Linux desktop environment and its very productive, configurable, lightweight and reliable. My only worry is that one day I'll be forced to move to something akin to what you describe. I blame object-oriented programmers.
I am still waiting for Cargo to be able to do what we do in our C++ builds, specially in what concerns build time.

Lack of support for binary libraries, specially among projects is a big deal breaker.

Watching the same dependencies being compiled multiple times isn't fun.

Yes, downloading the libraries, placing them in some directory and configuring paths might take some time.

But afterwards, C++ builds are quite fast as they just link to the provided libraries, instead of building the world every single time.

Current fighter planes are limited in their design to accommodate a slow-thinking, living human being.
A plane can't reach certain acceleration, has to provide life support, space and computing power to cockpit instead of just functional components and armaments.
When AI is polished enough, fighter planes will go the way of horse and carriage.

AI's experience anguish just that way right now. They are aware of their internal state and seek to avoid certain states. But we call it a 'software bug' when they fail, because that experience is so fundamentally alien to us that we don't care about its suffering or anguish.

Humans can relate to humans emotionally because we are very similar to each other in a neurological way, not because we have some magic mental capability like 'sentience' or 'consciousness'.
Don't say that here :) Americans are big on obeying the law, no matter what.
What they're really doing is cherry-picking. Their market, as someone pointed out, is "young people with no claims". This dumps the high-cost patients on some other payer.

In Portugal, school lunches are subsidized (it's currently $1.6 per meal), but poor families pay only 50%, or zero if their income is low enough. So it sounds similar to the US.

On the other hand, there's no lunch bill, as kids have to purchase the lunch tickets upfront. I'm actually not sure what happens if the kid says he has no money; I'm pretty sure my classmates would be too embarrassed to do so. The few times one of them didn't have money, we either knew beforehand (and pooled money ourselves) or the kid just went hungry.
The DoJ hasn't started prosecuting Uber and any speculation about what the charges would be if they were to do so is just that—speculation.
When did I say you should index the db as soon as you search? All I'm saying is change the API from a expression based query language to a imperative language.... noSQL.
No. Why it can be made a federal issue has been successfully outlined by others in this thread. Misleading investigators throughout multiple cities, however, isn't the reason.

The investigators scamming him doesn't change the fact that he did it. Additionally, there were two instances where he paid to have someone "killed". While the second case is rather sketchy, the first case is much clearer. They even staged the murder for him.

That's possible, but I don't see any reason to believe it's definitely true. We know essentially nothing about the nature of consciousness.

The company I was at this past summer took a few days where everyone (this was a cross disciplinary place, so the technical employees didn't just consist of developers but also mech e's, chemists, jack-of-all-trades, etc) was invited to shadow someone with sales for a few hours. Just seeing the sheer amount of data that they have to keep track of and stay on top of was really eye opening.

Idk why I'm being downvoted either. I bet in 2 years there will be a blog post which refines the idea I outlined above and it will be on top of HN and everyone will agree with it. That's how HN works.
This, indeed. I'm currently teaching in schools in the UK, and nearly all the IT departments I deal with are solely interested in IT for its own end. I've heard IT managers (at different schools) refer to it as "[my] network" or "[my] machines" - totally missing the point that they're all there for one reason, to facilitate learning. While this certainly isn't the case in all schools, the majority of the ones I've worked at have IT departments who really have no interest in or knowledge of what teachers really need/want to do, and simply put their own pre-decided processes and systems in place.

When trying to get something changed, a brick wall of technobabble is presented to school management who generally don't know any better and defer to this 'higher power'. Unfortunately I know enough to have seen through many such reasons (such as "You can't have more than 10 Apple devices on a Wi-Fi network, it will crawl to a halt", and "Firefox? I'm not having that rubbish on my network - we're sticking with Internet Explorer"), but there's no way to convince anyone in management that they're being sold a dummy, particularly when it was they who decided to hire the IT manager in the first place. I've got a room of machines where it takes 5 minutes to run the software I use to teach (Cubase) because the machines have mandatory profiles enforced that have been taken before the plug-in scanning has been done, so it does this scan (5 minutes or so) every time you run it. Think of the learning time lost over the 5 years that's been in place.

I really think a plan of getting these people out of their offices and into the workplace to shadow people who use what they maintain would make a world of difference. Instead of being some whiner who creates 'frivolous' support requests, they would see that a bad decision can drastically impact the experience of everyone who uses their tools. I think I say this as someone who has been on the other side of the fence; I do support for some IT installations (including a first school with 400 pupils), so I'm tech savvy enough to be able to do what's needed, but try to approach it from a function-first rather than ideological approach.
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a new thing and it is not at all clear where their best applications will be found. So there are a lot of people throwing them at different problems to see how well they perform (or don't).
One of the main reasons Haskell isn't used more in production systems is the small pool of developers that can actually program in it.

It is a very good language once the type system makes sense and you can reliably reason about the lazy nature of it.

scandinavegan says:"I'm sure Feynman read both, but I was interested in the origin of the quote, since I learned it a few days ago and think it's very inspirational."

As I continued reading I found the relevant quote to the second text, Calculus Made Easy, on page 194 of Feynman's "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out", where Feynman states:

"I had a calculus book once that said, 'What one fool can do, another can.'"

While he doesn't name it, that's almost without a doubt "Calculus Made Easy". Both calculus texts are thus referred to in Feynman's "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out". In the index of that book, under the topic "Calculus", the pages of both references can be found.
Last weekend, I visited Hamburg with my wife. I was surprised when I was told that I couldn't catch an Uber. However, on each German taxi (you know, the beige ones) there was a sticker prompting me to download the "EUTaxi" (or similarly named) app, which I did.

Brilliant. I was able to summon a car within minutes, and this app also allows for paying via the app.

Uber's biggest threat is, IMO, the creation of a well-working "push to ride & pay" taxi app by other countries that are as similarly well organised as Germany.

For me as a consumer, I could care less if I download Uber or EUTaxi. As long as I get my ride on time, and with a professionally licensed driver.

Yup, C# codebases (especially w/ tools like Resharper) can be massively refactored and, in my experience, almost always work perfectly as long as there are no compilation errors. C# tooling is fantastic.
While Syria is portrayed by western media as having a dictator that needs to be removed, Turkey has a real dictator in place that throws down religiosism on everyone's throat. Even Wikipedia was completely blocked last week.

On the other side, EU doesn't really want problematic states to join the union. Just sad because before this sultan be installed, Turkey was really making good progress.
The Month in Robot Ethics: April 2017
Maybe the problem itself is not elegant (hence why it's not solved in closed form)? Neural networks learn thousands of different algorithms in parallel. It's probably not a single idea behind it, it may be thousands. It's more like experimental science: the system is there, it works, someone else needs to analyze it to figure out how it does what it does.
It makes me feel a little nostalgic for the time of communism. They weren't religious but believed they could create a sort of heaven on earth. The reality was anything but, as we know. But this example is uplifting.

I see an parallel to the harassment/CoC discussion:

Because that's mostly my stance on the question "should a project have a code of conduct?": It's overspecifying things because we believe we can control them better the more we're spelling it out.

I'd prefer a blanket "we're against harassment of any kind and will act if harassment comes to our attention", over many paragraphs trying to spell out what exactly we consider actionable, leaving loopholes for language lawyers (and we nerds have this tendency!) all over the place.

I know that you're strongly in favor of CoCs. Do you see a qualitative difference between those things?

I'll grant that harassment is a much more explosive issue today, but "who is allowed to participate in a bug bounty community" also seems to have potential for bitter quarrels.
This reminds me of the very interesting leaps that occur in babies when they are first forming the connections for concepts for things like depth perception, distance, categorization, etc. They are bootstrapping the advanced levels of consciousness that ultimately makes them human in a sense.
If you're going to criticise, at least provide him with more substantial feedback. A "no thank you" doesn't help him, but explaining why livestreaming isn't your cup of tea would be better.

If you think that no, you don't have the time to type out a full sentence like "sorry, I prefer screencasts that have fluff edited out" or "I prefer text because the information density is much higher", then maybe you should say nothing at all.

What about days without school? It sounds like the poor kids just go hungry. Summer vacation means no food.

What about the kids from families with higher standards? They are being forced to go hungry, eat garbage served by the school, or eat a lunch that is neither refrigerated nor heated.

School lunch is a terrible way to feed the poor. If we're going to do that, provide old-style food stamps or just have the postal service drop off food. Do it for everybody who doesn't opt out.
Yes, the title ought to be something like "Turkey might abandon its EU application".
Government Reforms and Infrastructure Development – Global CPI
I know, but it can start with bigger taxes on properties (and better zoning laws). People and investors should be stripped of the idea that buying a house provides a good return. Lowering the leverage when buying a house would also help push prices down. Foreign buyers should be taxed more to avoid speculators.

I don't think food is a problem though, western EU food prices are not smaller.
And it's exactly the same thing with the classical beautiful functional example of quicksort. It's not actually quicksort and its performance is awful as a result.

Haskell has trade offs.

I'm not offended; its just the opposite of persuasive. And "jumping on the bandwagon" is kind of a conversation ender: if that's how you understood my reply, we're unlikely to understand each other & its not worth the effort to be clear.

I hear you on being a contrarian, but only when there's a compelling argument. Here, I doubt we do agree on Uber--I don't think there are overall benefits.

As I've said, I am not convinced Uber is some huge innovation but it wouldn't matter if it was (aka Google was the 11th search engine), and regardless, democracy and the rule of law are more important.

At any rate, my version of this being fun is being understood. Alas, some fun is incompatible with other fun.

What's the endgame here? OK, so the parents can't afford food. The kids go to school, and the school notices the kid doesn't have food. Then the parents are arrested and put in a taxpayer-paid prison. The kids are separated from their parents and put into taxpayer-paid foster home. Now the parents are miserable because they lost their kids, the kids are miserable because they don't have parents, and the taxpayers are miserable because they have to pay for your new imprisonment program.

You've come up with an expensive plan that makes everyone miserable.

>Proposing that it's not entanglement means proposing a new phyical process by which that information can contribute to a single, non-local value, which people researching the brain haven't even taken a stab at.

But you're already proposing something so fundamentally different to anything that exists, namely consciousness arising from patterns. There is no reasonable reference point to make any assumptions about such a thing.

>they seem to blithely ignore the physics/informatiom theory implications of that.

We can't make physical information assumptions about something which as far as we know may not even be physical. There is no obvious space-time location that consciousness exists at such that it needs to gather information to that point.
Is that honestly a problem? Most Java applications I encounter is much larger than that.

My main problem is that because it is billed as an "investment" (where your return is maybe a slight discount on the product), you have no recourse if the product is never delivered.

Many kickstarters are made by people with no experience in actually delivering product and are almost certainly doomed to fail from the start. Another large group are established companies that have investment already, and are using it purely as marketing because it is impossible to build their product at the funding levels kickstarters reach (outside of the big ones like Pebble). There are very few kickstarters that have non-obvious markets and are run by someone I would be willing to risk money on to have made, and zero where the return is worth my risk.
