Anyway, anyone interested enough in this to be reading this comment thread should go look up approximation theory and approximation practice by trefethen [0], which is a very very good book, that covers chebyshev polynomials in a very clear way. The real party trick you get out of it, though, is that by taking samples of functions at the roots of chebyshev basis polynomials and applying the discrete cosine transform, you can get a set of chebyshev coefficients to approximate a function in O(n log n) time

I've been using Duolingo to learn German for 3 weeks now, and so far I'm very impressed. They have a long list of languages.

. . . because the gym still uses the system? If it didn't accurately distinguish between their customers, why would they still use it?

This is 100% not the same type of reasoning. We have reason to believe that the fingerprint accurately distinguishes between 1000 different options. False positive and false negative aren't meaningful terms here, because we're no longer dealing with yes/no results.
The scary thing is that it's about the group as opposed to people not in the group. This tribalism is nothing but scary.
Except Judo.

There are quite a small number of old martial art that's pretty decent still.

Gracie is just BJJ which is just an offshoot of Judo anyway with more emphasis on ground. So I'm not sure if it really counts as MMA would he just uses his school of Martial Art.

They've been told for years to get off XP. They weren't paying MS to keep it updated. The exploit was patched months ago. Why were these machines even on the internet?

> Spinning up some K80s on Azure, installing TF/CUDA/OpenCL

I think a single k80 instance is roughly ~$1/hr. If you had an experiment running 24hrs a day for a year, you'd spend a little over $8.5k. You can build an equivalent desktop machine for less than $2k [1], which might be slightly more convenient (once it's built), although I haven't really factored in energy costs.

> That's how you get into it as a garden variety dev.

Btw, you don't really need a GPU to start learning about deep learning. You can train a SotA modal on MNIST using Caffe I think in roughly 10m on CPU (maybe 1m on GPU). You can also train a reasonable sentiment classifier or natural language inference classifier in less than an hour on CPU. My perception is that these types of tasks are really solid for someone who is beginning to learn about machine learning or deep learning, as they'll provide a playground to mess around with different optimization techniques (SGD v. SGD+Momentum vs. Adam vs. etc), regularization (L1, L2, dropout, batch norm, etc), data augmentation, error analysis, and so on. If you do an ML interview for an entry level position, chances are these are the types things they will ask about.

I guess deploying ML solutions for a company you are working at is a different story.

> Otherwise, go for the PhD if you want to actually make new stuff.

There's some truth to this! PhD (like a Master's) probably doesn't make sense most of the time as a dollar-efficient career move. Rather, it's something you should pursue if you find being in an academic environment personally satisfying. You definitely don't need to be in a PhD program to work on new stuff (although it might make things easier because you will hopefully be surrounded by lots of fresh ideas). I've heard about people in bootcamps working on novel research. Now that so many powerful tools are open source and easy to use (Pytorch, Tensorflow, etc.), it's pretty easy for anyone to put together a novel model.

This must be fantastic material for trolling... "What Clapper said in front of Congress was a useful approximation of the truth." You almost got me. Well played.
I'm not arguing that VMs vs API compatibility layers aren't different, but that the specific testbed case you'd mentioned of emulations on a single host is nothing novel.

A compatabilty layer generally takes away the kernel's role. Is that the case here?
I appreciate the contrast you are drawing with that comparison, it's a clever one.

It seems that we agree that, in isolation, the caricature of two bare-footed, slack-jawed, slovenly, drunk, ignorant, impoverished indigenous Australians is racist. At least neither of us can think of anything we would add to exacerbate it.

In my example of the hook-nosed Jew, the Jew is the hate-figure. In your counter-example Hitler is the hate figure.

Who is the hate figure in this cartoon? The racist generalisation of the indigenous man. Surely that's problematic?

You're aware that the cartoon was posted in a paper that has history of writing articles titled "Blacks find ways to get high", the cartoonist has a library of similar content where the hate-figure is indigenous, and that this particular cartoon was aimed (and succeeded comfortably) to shift attention from the case of indigenous children being tear gassed.

I'm comfortable that it is racist dross, I'm hoping that I've managed to at least raise that thought with you in a compelling way.

I'm aware of the history of Conde Koma teaching the Gracies who improved on the system. However, BJJ practitioners told me the top practitioners of BJJ were beating the Kodokan opponents in submission grappling. It was believable given the job is to wrap around them to prevent their throws. I never confirmed or rejected it, though. You have info on that?
Just checked whether Dutch distinguishes between kennen and wissen. It doesn't, exactly like English, same for Norwegian and Swedish. That suggests it's a West Germanic thing.

While English can fairly be described as a creole it's the influence of Norman French on Old English that makes that a fair description. Old English was IIRC on a dialect continuum between Frisian and Norse.
I'd imagine this is very useful for writing self-modifying or polymorphic code.

Doesn't Perl 6 have macros? If you have macros, you can do it both elegantly and efficiently by expanding Horner's rule at compile time. You can still use reduce; just have it return the form unevaluated.

In fact, because the coefficients are constant at compile time, you could precondition the polynomial and do even better than Horner's rule, with only three multiplications.
Well I would consider licenses like MIT, LGPL, and some of the CC licenses to be _more_ free than the GPL, so I expect more MIT and public domain code will survive and continue to be used and available for those people in 50 or 100 years :)

Inheritance is helpful when the domain is well-defined and the underlying problem is broadly similar enough to fill-in differences across what's being abstracted.

Some hand-picked examples of well-implemented inheritance in open source:

An example of where inheritance makes great sense is Django CBV (Class-based views), https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/class-based-vi..., as well as Django REST Framework class views (http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/views/)

An example of where inheritance in the form of runtime metaprogramming makes sense is SQLAlchemy declarative and Django ORM.

An example where inheritance in the form of mixins make sense would be Django ORM, such as TimeStampedModel in django-extensions https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions/blob/....

An example where classes make sense in standard libraries would be (impure) interfaces such as csv.Dialect (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/6aee6fb/Lib/csv.py#L2...)

An example of where inherited classes make sense in abstraction would be types (https://github.com/zzzeek/sqlalchemy/blob/master/lib/sqlalch...) and dialects in SQLAlchemy (https://github.com/zzzeek/sqlalchemy/tree/master/lib/sqlalch...)

As a closing note, It works a lot better when the use of inheritance symbolically represents actual standards (SQL, HTTP, and/or standard libraries API's) that developers already are familiar with, rather than abstract concepts meaningful only to the writer.
License? This is an excellent UI.
That's kind of an artificial distinction though. If your goal is to experience nice things, then the two are irreconcilably indistinguishable.

A big part of happiness is enjoying what you have. On the other hand, happiness doesn't really matter all that much. It's only a goal if you don't know how to achieve it. Once you figure it out, you move onto some other goal until you become unhappy chasing that one.

As incredible as it is, Ryzen has buggy VME implementation

What I find more incredible is that this bug could get by without being noticed. A CPU literally has billions of possible regression tests --- all the world's existing software --- and of everyone working on the project, not a single one thought to try some older software (XP/2k3 is not even that old, as far as x86 compatibility is concerned) to see if it worked? This is an old feature too, meaning it should've been well-characterised by now. I'm particularly surprised that FreeDOS is affected, since it's commonly used as a minimal "non-OS" OS for running things like low-level diagnostics and debugging of hardware.

This begs the question: if old features are this broken, what about the new ones (for which there is far less software available to test them with)? I think the most recently discovered one was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13924192
I wrote microcode for the Dandelion (we used the internal names for the machines at PARC). You could boot it into completely disjoint worlds: Smalltalk, Mesa, Interlisp (this is what I used) or the Star environment -- they weren't simply apps running under a common OS.

After the Alto, all of PARC's custom workstations (Dolphin, Dorado -- an ECL machine!, and the Dandelion) were generically called D-machines.
>Whilst this is true, it's probably also true that the impact of this attack is highly concentrated across organisations with chronic under-investment and a laissez-faire attitude to security.

Good developers are rare enough, but good IT security and security-minded developers are even more rare. And it's even more rare that they decide to work within healthcare.

There just isn't enough of you to go around and you can't be everywhere.

Even if you can afford to have a dedicated pentesting team (I'd like to work at a healthcare system/hospital network that did), physical security is still a major problem if only because it's very easy to impersonate people.
Based on the topic of this thread, you can look at it in a different way. All humans need a challenge (or, at least, I've never met someone who is happy without some kind of challenge). A challenge for survival is, perhaps, the most noble kind. Literature (in all cultures) is filled with fantasies of the "Noble Savage". It is easy to connect meaning to that life and death struggle.

In that context, if I compare a rich person sitting on their yacht, sipping a martini to a scavenger who excitedly sets to work fixing a broken clock in order to eat next week -- which person would I want to be like? I mean, yachts and martinis are great, but they don't tell me what kind of person I am -- only that I am rich. Happily tinkering away while struggling against all odds? I want to be that kind of person. So does everyone -- that's why the motif pops up in virtually every piece of fiction, from the Bourne Identity to Harry Potter.

It's a bit of fiction, but I still think it's important. In truth, having a meaningful, noble challenge is mostly orthogonal to having money. We do see people struggling to gain money so that they can escape challenge -- only to be miserable with the result. However, money can also provide the means to choose your challenge rather than to be forced to always deal with survival.

In the end, though, whether you have money or not, how you choose to respond to challenge is what determines what kind of person you are. I also envy and respect those who excitedly greet their challenges every day.
Yes, that's his point.

Just in case there are any journalists reading - never use the term "perfect storm".
Why not? Is it such a taboo idea to question whether maybe those without a lot of money might not be happier, more integral, less living-a-lie? (Assuming there is enough for the basics of survival.) I've seen it first-hand. Some of them even feel sorry for the rich Americans. Sometimes what you gain by staying poor is worth more than the money.
$300 per machine. Issue is that ransomware also encrypts all files on shared drives.

But a problem with the approach of centralization taken by something like ChromeOS which uses Google accounts (or I guess Win10S which uses ms accounts) is that you're attempting to prevent one player from holding you hostage by giving yourself hostage to another. This is not going to work to prevent paying through the nose, although yes, your new hostage takers will probably realize that the NHS will be able to pay more when it actually takes care of patients. Not too well, of course, good enough to make sure it isn't replaced or repealed. Badly enough so that constant complaints ensure a fresh budget injection every quarter.
I met a guy who used to work for the forest service around where I live. His job was to head to surveyed forestry sites (i.e. potential future logging camps and what not) and draw pictures of all the archaeological artifacts. He was eventually replaced by a camera.
Instead of so much regulation, I think there should be more focus on incentivizing executives as if they were owners. Owners with most of their net worth tied up in a company usually act more in the long term best interests of the company. They care less about what Wall Street thinks and more about where the company will be in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years.

Instead of stock options they can cash in when they hit short term goals, how about actually buying stock and receiving stock that managers can only sell several years after they get it?

At the very least, rate companies on whether they do this or not. Or are actually managed by owners.

I can't comment about OCD medication but I'm posting this as a bipolar patient as a warning. Do not I repeat do not take sedatives antipsychotics(there are lots of antipsychotics for bipolar and schizophrenia that are sedatives) for more then a couple weeks with out planning to take it long term. Sedatives mess with your sleep function and destroy your ability to sleep naturally. I can no longer sleep with out a sedative because a drug called zyprexa destroyed my ability to sleep naturally. Zyprexa can cause both diabetes and lots of weight gain and cause other side effects. There are couple of drugs like it but just thought I should mention that a the medications themselves can sometimes bring up side effects that are almost worse then the mental illness can really mess with your brain permeantly.
I've always found DCTs and particularly Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature (better than Gauss quadrature arguably!) attractive: you can do an incredible amount of heavy lifting with this corner of approximation theory.

Thanks for your answer, to begin with!

But looking at the American Indians' situation, I'm not entirely convinced. The descendants of the expropriated Indians are strangers in their own country just like their ancestors were -- the effects of a land grab or whatever don't end with the deaths of the perpetrators and victims. If handing the land back isn't possible (too many whites, blacks, and others for everyone to emigrate, and not nearly enough Indians to inhabit the country afterwards), then giving the dispossessed tax exemptions and other privileges is certainly a good idea.

As far as Serbia, I was going to disagree with the particulars of your example until I realized that you meant the Kosovo War, not the Yugoslav Wars. That's a related but at least equally thorny question, I think: is there a point at which facts on the ground can override historic rights? My instinct is to say no: if the Serbs can't grab the parts of Bosnia inhabited by Serbs, the Albanians can't grab the parts of Serbia inhabited by Albanians. I think that should be uncontroversial in this context, but it gets more troublesome when you try applying it further back in history...

So, I guess the smartest thing you can do when conquering a region is to allow and encourage the conquered people to join the conquerer's society, and to treat them as first-class citizens when brought on board. That worked for the Roman Empire -- and it's honestly not a bad way to treat conquered peoples.

> If everyone's entitled to their own perspective and experience, isn't this person entitled to theirs?

The downvotes (not mine) aren't for their experience, they're for the dismissiveness. It's like the paradox of tolerance; you shouldn't be surprised if people don't support your viewpoint about not supporting other viewpoints.

> Because it doesn't fit into the modern mental-health-awareness agenda?

Because it doesn't actual contribute anything substantive; it invalidates the author's experience seemly just to make a point that the author already acknowledged ("It seemed the only real difference between us was that I knew something was wrong")

> being told your problems are non-problems compared to someone else's is a helpful thing

How so? Far more often, people tell others that their problems are non-problems in an attempt to shut them up, not to help them. What actual value comes from attempting to precisely determine who has it worst?

That's not true. The economics of movies and TV has shifted overtime. (What are the distribution avenues? What sort of projects get funded? Etc.)

Movies today are much more likely to be high budget, rehashed/sequels, most common denominator, etc.

TV, on the other hand, has been in a golden era for the past decade. Netflix/HBO/etc. has allowed lots of interesting more niche pieces to get produced.
