It's a classic asymmetry: the defender needs to defend all the time, the hacker just needs to get in once. Ditto op-sec, the hacker needs to keep their identity protected at all times, the security services only need to connect the dots once.
Indeed, when I was an adjunct, I never interacted with a professor either.
The Mossad had a big embarrassment some years ago. Wearing ties is not common in Israel, but, for forged credentials, people were usually photographed wearing a tie. The photography shop provided people with a tie.

The Mossad used the same three ties for everybody.
I would agree, for me the bright blue tag with the sharp box really makes it hard to scan the headlines without a ton of concentration ignoring the tags separately.
I was in the room when he made the comment, it's not entirely unfair. The libraries are mostly for computers and group meeting rooms. Many of the books I have checked out have had no stamps since the late 90s, and several I've been first to checkout.

People must remember that Google is first and foremost an advertising company. 90% of its revenue comes directly from advertising. Anyone who thinks they will prioritize anything over ad revenue is either very naive or very stupid.

Google's CEO declared it's "AI first" and they developed TensorFlow. If they wanted to, they could have easily prevented those ads from entering their network.
Prenatal screening, extracorporal, adoption.
As far as I can tell, among technical commentators, there is a one-dimensional spectrum of browser UI design: on the one end is Chrome, and on the other is Netscape Navigator 3. Because this does not look particularly like Netscape Navigator 3, by definition it must be Chrome-like. :)

>> Coltrane has found that after controlling for variables like age and education, married American men earn significantly more than their unmarried or divorced male peers, and their earnings go up with every child they have. Marriage seems to make men more productive at work because it allows them to outsource much of the housekeeping to their wives.<<

I don't see how that last sentence makes any sense. Since when does one's earnings have anything to do with whether the housekeeping for one child or three children is "outsourced" to wives? I think it's far more likely that being a father to more children is correlated with being older and more experienced and therefore more highly compensated.
It feels weird, but if you use social engineering to get access you can also call that hacking.
>it's hideously expensive for what it is.

Is it? I looked around for a similar product, and this one seems quite a bit cheaper than the ones that exist now:

Perhaps a snapshotting filesystem could help too.
Why would they? It's against their business model. They don't have company name and street address on their sites for a reason.
Did you consider putting the "center" of the detector somewhere other than in the middle of the vector? what would happen if you had 6 before, and 2 after, or 5 before, and 3 after?
Another thought I had: for performance reasons, it might be nice to have something more compact than a one-hot vector for each letter. Have you looked at determining sets of characters which have a similar impact on hyphenation, and encoding them together?

These are interesting suggestions! It sure would be interesting to do actual research on how to optimize the hyphenation even more. It also would be interesting to play with the hyperparameters and network architecture to see what impact they have on the hyphenation accuracy. Alas, I'm a student so time is rather scarce.

PS: do you have the extracted list of wiktionary hyphenations sitting in a text file somewhere that you could put up? I'm fixin' to quickly compare the accuracy to TeX's German hyphenation (once the 30+GiB TeXLive repository finishes downloading).

Sure! The GitHub repository actually contains a Rust program to process a Wiktionary XML dump into a word list for training, but if you want to skip straight ahead, I've uploaded the dataset I used to https://gist.githubusercontent.com/msiemens/2aac63cf8d1b88c4...

Don't mean to be rude, but has alan kay effectively created any successful start up himself ? I've always loved his historical talks about what research was like in the 70s, but i find it surprising to see him giving talks in something called startup school.
I get your point but I still disagree. Take a job like a plumber for example. Could you replace it with AI and robots? In theory yes. Will it ever happen? No. Why not? Because it makes no economic sense to do so. Developing, testing and maintaining robots and AI capable of handling every kitchen and bathroom alone would be massively expensive and for what return? There isn't enough money in the plumbing market to justify disrupting it.
I don't think that you are allowed to encrypt data on ACD.

I'm more interested in the passive infections where I get infected without my prior actions (some comments say it is possible). Java is not a good example because I program (sometimes in java) and it is always up to date. I uninstalled Flash and I have the automatic updates enabled in all software I use day-to-day. Doing regular re-installs is a good idea though. Thanks for the tip.
That page is to show off their work, which it does. The goal is probably not to replace news.ycombinator.com.
"Then, he noticed that someone had tampered with the program’s 'Lunch' field. Four hours had been added into the lunch field each day, which accounted for the unexplained extra 40 hours of overtime in Garcia’s records. The hours had been entered in black text on a black background, in one-point font. As a result, the alterations to Garcia’s hours would not have been noticeable to the casual observer. The alterations resulted in Garcia’s being paid wages for overtime that, presumably, he did not work."

That's just one of the things he did.

If you're going to be a criminal, at least be a smart criminal. He's going to be stuck with trying to pay off $300k on a fast food worker's wages which will take him the rest of his life unless he inherits a lot of money or plans on winning the lotto. He effectively removed himself from consideration from any decent job and thus his ability to pay the fine in a comfortable manner.
Or maybe the algorithm is scary accurate and has correctly deduced that Richard Stallman is, in fact, Satoshi Nakamoto!

And yet, yesterday, people were downvoting me because of my skepticism regarding the latest "we're going to keep Android installations updated -- no, really!" initiative.

Technically, this latest initiative actually makes sense.

But, manufacturers still want to sell new devices, and carriers want to move them, with mark-up. And there's no dis-incentive to this "abandon and re-sell" incentive.

And mostly, Google doesn't stick with things, any more.

Color me skeptical. Time to go and "Download" me a new phone...

P.S. I don't begrudge the Paint.NET developers recompense for their work. Although, as I recall, it originally came out of the University of Washington, presumably with some funding behind it (many years ago, and perhaps no more).

I've used it, upon occasion, and it's a very good substitute for everyday "photo-shopping", as it were.

But the ads, as described/demonstrated, sure seem to be at odds with the old "do no evil" or whatever it was. Loading grandma up ('Download! HERE!') with 5 "toolbars" and nag-ware? Bad Google.
The brand new https://hacker-search.net isn't bad either.
So you want to limit creativity and empower big companies even more by pushing forward walled gardens, because there are too many ads on the download page of one paint app out of a myriad?

It's like adding regexp to have one more problem.

A few comments:

1. To other commenters, as with the HN Vue demo a week ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14284877), the project is a technical proof-of-concept; the aesthetics aren't the primary focus.

2. The Algolia API is better for scraping because it allows for bulk requests, unlike the official API (my old 2014 script still works I think: https://github.com/minimaxir/get-all-hacker-news-submissions...)

3) How much time did it take to manually label the training/test set before training the RF classifier? Even with topic modeling for extrapolating tags, accurate labeling for 20,000 submissions is a task.
Right, jQuery is 80k, but there are replacements that are as small as 8k, or even 4k: http://minifiedjs.com/#sizeCmp
It's great to hear it.
Current DAWs don't really understand music theory, that's right.

But there are such things as Synfire Pro by cognitone for example, which on the other hand is unusable as DAW exactly like all the other software for music composition.

I would love to see an usable combination of both software categories eventually.

One question left: Your software won't be FOSS, or will it?
I don't know if this one was detected in the wild or not (99% chance it was), however, malware authors occasionally use Virustotal too.
It’s not about tabs in the titlebar being optional – in fact, I want them – but Qt’s API for that is still in development, and GTK’s CSD is probably the worst possible implementation of that feature.

And yes, every day Firefox continues using GTK or even adding any more integration is a bad day.
This Startup Has No Revenue and No App, but It Wants Your Investment
It's different beast. It's almost impossible if done right. How would you track this person? You only see end transactions from those addresses which are not mixed with coins of attackers. You would need to check EVERY possible place where bitcoin exchange happen and there hundreds in hundreds of countries in blind to check if bitcoin address x was used there. Then some countries maybe even will not give you any information because electronic currency doesn't exist in their law and it's not a felony to use mixing service etc. etc. That's why they use bitcoin in the first place for 99% of criminal activities in Internet.
Electrolysis has made a huge difference in performance for me in Firefox. It's really quite impressive once it's turned on. The problem is that having any number of legacy add-ons will turn it off. And "forcing" it on via the config menu won't get the full benefit, either. I had it forced on, but a number of my add-ons prevented the full multi-threaded performance and sandboxing from kicking in. So, on a whim, I disabled all of my add-ons that were interfering and gave it another go. The difference was like night and day.

I'd suggest at least giving it a shot.
Agreed. Tag colours draw too much attention, particularly contrasted against visited links.

Custom tag groups could be a useful extension.
Open Security Training: Day Long Classes
Also, you can easily search HN in Chrome: start typing news.ycombinator.com, it will be ready for autocomplete, and it will say in grey text "Press [tab] to search HN". The results show up from algolia.

If only there were a way to make the default search order recency instead of popularity — most of my searching is before posting something, to make sure it hasn't already been posted.
Someone asked the head of Bell Labs that question once. He answered "Consistent funding".

Looks like an EDGE ripoff. Why is there space to the left of pinned tabs and to the left of URL field? Is it used for something? I have no unused space in my Firefox UI right now, so this seems wasteful.

The only thing I like is that they moved bookmarks star back into the awesome bar. The current "joint bookmarks button" is the ugliest piece of UI I've ever seen.
Haha this is a central part of the app.
I was specifically invited to talk about "invention vs innovation" and about making "an industry vs a company" -- that wasn't clear in the syllabus.

I couldn't find a great source of data on bank robberies but just looking at this indicates bank robbers who successfully get away are pretty rare:

FFT and PCA are totally different. FFT is a fixed linear transform - PCA finds the linear projection to k-space that retains the most variance from the original dataset. If you projected to the top k frequencies you'd just get a couple of tones, while PCA finds linear combinations of the original signal that are most "descriptive" in a sense.

Also human hearing is much closer to a wavelet transform or STFT than FFT.
I thought this was going to be Amarillo, Texas, because of the Pantex plant.

There was a book from the early 1980s focusing on the religious beliefs of some of the nuclear weapons workers there

https://www.amazon.com/Blessed-Assurance-Home-Amarillo-Texas...

which tried to convey some of the cultural and psychological tensions about working on these weapons, and how people dealt with them.
Probably didn't know it would be 1 month severence.
Section 2.2 is particularly interesting to me. Marvin said (in the last paragraph of the section),

There is no practical consequence to the fact that the program-reduction problem is recursively unsolvable, in general. In any case, one would expect programs eventually to go far beyond human ability in this activity

The first sentence is ridiculous as stated -- here it is 47 years later, and we still have nothing like the automated program-transformation system Marvin envisioned, and uncomputability has to be considered a major reason for that -- but nonetheless, I share his intuition that this barrier "should", in some sense, be surmountable. After all, as he goes on to point out, we humans do manage, albeit with considerable effort and many mistakes, to write programs that are at least correct and efficient enough to be usable. It seems there should be some way to characterize the mental processes by which we do that well enough that we could program a computer to do the same thing -- and even to do it better than we can, as Marvin suggests. Yet this has turned out to be one of the most difficult problems in AI. I don't even know that one could say that much progress has been made since Marvin gave this talk.

I like pocket too, but I think it suffers from the same issues as what the article is describing.

Well, Pocket is not at fault, it's more me and how I use it, but I've got a growing list of links that I've either read and enjoyed, or just saved and not got round to reading yet.

I tend to read my pocket articles on the train via my phone, and sometimes forget what I have and haven't read, or what the article was even about.
Additionally, so much of the internet is ephemeral, compared to the content that students or researchers would have been photocopying when Umberto Eco wrote the piece that's quoted in the article. For this reason, if I find an interesting article/page/whatever, I tend to save a local copy even if I don't know when or if I'll read it. It might not be online anymore when it turns out to be useful.
I wonder how much Crossrail will help with the commute and make distant properties more appealing.
The privilege they are talking about is not some kind of explicit handout. It is a cultural background. It manifests as other people's exceptions, preconceptions, and even things like word choice and shared conceptual familiarities.

For instance, if you've ever seriously considered starting a business, then you're probably privileged. Because for someone like me, it is simply not a consideration. I don't know anyone who cares about business, let alone owns one. Never had any friends who know anything about business. I have no business vocabulary, and I have desire to acquire one. My concept of self-worth is more anti-business than it is business-driven. So I'm never going to start a business.

Does this mean I've not finished school? No. Didn't go to business school though. Does this mean I'm not hard-working? No. Don't work hard to make money though. Etc.

Now if my father had been a businessman, or If I'd grown up in a place where people cared about business, I might know a thing or two about how to do it. That background of experience is the privilege they are talking about.

I am privileged in that I understand machines, art, language, and education. Those privileges have directly and indirectly resulted in almost every success I've ever had. I am a white professional man.

Now you know one. And you probably know many others, if you'd come at this discussion from a position of understanding rather than from a position of defiance.

>What would feminists know about a non-feminist man's perspective on marriage and fatherhood?

What would someone who doesn't even seem to understand the concept of cultural privilege have to add to a discussion about cultural privilege?

[EDIT - It turns out that even this very comment required editing if we apply the standard to it, that it itself suggests, see below. SUPER SUPER great example!]

---

(This comment is serious, not satire or sarcastic or something.)

I've flagged this article and everyone else should too. When the tech industry (programmers/startups/etc) reaches something like at least 60/40 - I'm not saying we need to wait for parity - then we can return to these questions. (There's nothing wrong with the subject, except for our industry's statistics - that's it.)

Until then I strongly encourage everyone here (male and female, regardless of your opinions of the article - i.e. if the article is good, and solid, and you agree with it, and it's not offensive) to flag articles like this, even when they're 100.00% correct, and even in the case that as a man or a woman you don't disagree with the article at all, don't find it offensive, etc. Mods should bury them from the front page.

I'm not saying this should be permanent, but let's work on this for a few years.

On the other hand everyone should be on their very best behavior for stories from the other side (in other words
everyone should look at their comments for a minute before submitting them, stay silent in many cases where they have an opinion, let women express their viewpoint without replying with men's viewpoints, and so forth), flag comments that can even be misconstrued as misogynistic, and so forth.

I don't wanna work with a bunch of men for the rest of my life. Do you? [EDIT: I am on board with the reply that pointed out that the issue with what men want, but rather equal access for women - great example. :) I should have phrased this in such terms. Sorry.]

Work for the world you want, today. It might seem like the suggestions I make in this comment (which is 100% serious, not satire or anything like that) are over-the-top, but have you seen the statistics in our industry?

Let's do something about it. We don't need to discuss stories like this one, here. We can discuss these stories on HN in a few years. Until then there are plenty of places all over the Internet to discuss them.
This is a really good question! It partly has to do with the "pink-plane/blue-plane" idea (shown in lecture II and in lots of talks I've given) that I adapted from Arthur Koestler's terrific book "Act of Creation". There is much to think about there.

We are on the good side of this because we can look at history and get some sense of qualitative changes of Outlook, and we can also look at Anthropology and other behavioral sciences to get some sense of ways in which we are able to get past some of our genetic behaviors to "piggy-back" new thoughts on top of old mechanisms. Jerry Bruner used to call this "Goedelization" (which is an interesting way to look at it -- it is a kind of Turing machine idea to make more interesting machines from existing machines).

A key point is that "blue-plane explosions" like all ideas are most likely to be mediocre down to bad. Because they seem to come from the heavens, in the old days people would create religions around them; today we are expected to vet ideas very carefully before proclaiming and working on them.

Adventages and disadventages of specializing in Tensorflow
As I can see, Tensorflow is the leading and most hyped machine learning framework and almost every newcomer to AI tend to choose TF to learn and use for their projects. I wonder if the market of ML developers will be over saturated by TF specialists. On the other hand it may be the best framework after all. Do you think there are any business, career or technical advantages of choosing a different framework?
