Indeed, privatization of public utilities for example have created more government bureaucracy, not less, exactly for these reasons. Market fundamentalists (the anarchist leaning side at least, less the Hayekians and such) seem to believe that institutional structures that emerge from non-coerced (if it were ever black and white) property owning individuals will carry their values in some immutable form and corruption only ever arises when agents "become social". I find this an extremely naive view of human group behavior. The entire underlaying theory seems to be based upon 19th century hard-reductionism (sadly still the norm in the economics profession) and really needs a post-complexity, post-behavorial update. As it stands it is firmly entrenced in the realm of ideology, I wouldn't even consider it soft science.
An interesting thing to observe in the long run would be if humans playing against AI are able to improve their moves and beat the AI.

Indeed! I started with C by following the TIGCC TI-89 tutorials from http://www.technoplaza.net/ long ago, and since I got an Arduboy I've been itching to dive back into calc stuff and try some small assembly gamedev. So many little projects worth doing and so little time!

> The challenge is to have the right reactions when you are sitting in a comfortable office and the moral dilemmas inherent in your work are entirely hidden by metrics, and all your bosses ask you to do is to drive the graph up and to the right.

And that is where I refer back to my comment: Pretty much nobody will become the whistleblower or the guy who prevents their company (or their country) from landing that billion dollar arms sale or from raising drug prices to levels unaffordable to many sick people even if they are perfectly well aware of how bad it is. There is one Snowden outlier for a million other people. "If I don't do it somebody else will" is just one of numerous rationalizations (and it even is actually correct).

Statistically speaking the impact of ethics education vs. incentives is like 1 : 1 billion or worse.
I think you are being hyperbolic here. Go is in a lot of respect much more challenging than machine translation, speech to text and auto-driving. All of the latter problems you described have had solutions for decades whereas Alpha Go is literally state of the art. It even uses proprietary hardware (TPU's) and was essentially engineered by one if not the most elite ML lab in the world. Their solution consists of an ensemble of many models including MCTS, supervised learning, reinforcement learning. Much more complicated than what you are thinking. Go read the paper, it's free.

Go is a lot harder than you think for machines to play.

On the website, you mentioned that you run stock Raspbian with a real-time patch on the devices. I'm mostly curious about the real-time extensions you're using. Did you write the patch in-house? What real-time capabilities are supported on it? Is it just a better scheduler, or do you also include things like locking protocols?

This isn't a particularly important question; I'm just a grad student in real-time research so I like learning about what gets used in practice. Thanks!

The companies did a terrible job of advertising all the new technology.

"Just use it--for convenience. Trust us!"

If I want convince, I use cash.

I stopped using credit cards, but still have a debt card, with a chip. Actually it's a credit card too, but never asked for it. When the bank sent me the new card, they just said it was better. Not how to use it, or why it's better; just here's your new card.

It's gotten to the point where I only use it for online purchases, and then only to specific retailers--basically Amazon, Google, and if I'm in a trusting mood PayPal.

Even though I'm in tech, I don't know how all the other technology works, nor care too know at this point.

My security is checking my bank account, and looking for suspicious transactions.

The days of trying new technology tied to my meager amount of money is gone. The days of trusting retailers with my information is gone. I do sometimes feel bad for the little retailer/website though. I just don't trust them anymore. I don't trust banks, and would go back to completely cash(buried in tin cans), if I lived somewhere remote.

I remember the first time I went to see Shakespeare as an adult. It is still the funniest play I've ever seen and I couldn't even really understand everything they were saying!

But out of the 4 of us attending, 2 of us were enraptured, and the other 2 were bored and left for the pub in the interval.

I wonder if you either connect with his word play, or you don't. A marmite thing. I doesn't help that the english language is different to how it was then.

But I find what we did in school with Shakespeare to be ridiculous. It's the equivalent of trying to explain a joke.
Hmm but for example. If I search "harry potter", one of the things I get is "harry potter is defined as... " "boy who lives under the stair". What can I do with this? "boy", "lives", "under", and "stair", while present in conceptnet, have no logical relation to anything else...

If you're using veusz (https://veusz.github.io/) then you can interactively modify your plot, changing the appearance and investigating relationships without writing or rerunning code.

If your code takes a long time to run, you'll have to split your python code into two anyway: one part to do the calculation and the other to plot the results. Otherwise, it would take ages to modify plots.

Yes and physical prowess was never dominated by humans anyway. We are surrounded by creatures which can fly and swim and sprint far better than any human ever could. But our minds is what separates us from the beasts. We've never been second place in the thought competition.
There are plenty of ways they can keep the current API while eventually approaching optimal, for example, a chain of exceptions could incrementally refine the framework's idea of what the callback function expects, which could be turned into a BPF filter.

So for the cost of a few expensive frames at start, afterwards no exceptions get thrown.

Generally speaking though, I'm only replying because I hate people negging on minutia of new projects. If you're going to be critical of something especially when it's a lone wolf effort (or even a small team), try to be constructive, there are real people on the other end of the wire.
Are you saying that you know of systems which use the tag 57 (track 2 equivalent data) to read an EMV chip and process the transaction manually? I'd be surprised if most banks would even approve those transactions (no CVV/CVV2, etc).

Great advice !!
I wasn't trying to be negative. I am not talking about the technical side but about the philosophical. And there I do know what they are doing as they explained this themselves.

What stood out for me was this.

"We don’t think VR’s power is in simulating reality."

This literally flies in the phase of said reality, case in point flight simulation. Furthermore so many upcoming uses for remote controlling robots in space, large machinery in toxic places, the ability to help children with autism. I could go on. There are an extremely large amount of real value and real power in simulating reality exactly because it allow us to test hypotheses, train and remote control, furthermore any robot worth it's salt need to be able to simulate reality.
In other words. The very basic premise IMO is flawed if they don't think the power is in that.

Anyway I certainly didn't want to claim they don't know how to do their research, just think that their premise is rather flawed if they really believe there is no power in simulating reality.
How to Exit the Vim Editor
The excerpt starts off by conflating virtue with opinions and ideas as a whole, then embracing the tu quoque fallacy wholeheartedly and running with it. The conclusions shown merely happen to be a bit more agreeable to HN readers. A simple concept swap makes an early comment risible, "It is immoral to be in opposition of Soviet Communism and not live in a hut isolated from it."

Also, the title is definitely editorial by the poster versus the original "The Merchandising of Virtue."

>A privacy breach allows... what? Where's a direct threat?

A privacy breach could mean that your job application is rejected, that you pay higher interest on a loan or higher insurance premiums.

It could mean that your health insurance refuses cover for some treatment because some data points towards a pre-existing condition.

You could be rejected as a tenant based on the scoring done by a referencing agency or you could get searched every time you cross a border.

In a more unlikely event could even become the victim of a miscarriage of justice or get blackmailed by a corrupt government official.

[Y]our pool cleaner probably works hard, but is not engaged in an endeavor where it is possible for him to make millions of dollars

My pool cleaner, like most of us, has a finite lifespan. While it's certainly theoretically possible that he could have been a hedge fund trader for Goldman-Sachs, I think we can both agree that to accomplish that would've required a fair amount of luck somewhere along the way. He might, by grit and discipline and sacrifice, have managed to become a lawyer, and make more than he is making as a pool cleaner. But to become independently wealthy by age 30, he also would've had to be very, very lucky.

Looked at in this light, only a small percentage of the population has any chance at tremendous success.

Not only that, but only a small percentage of the population has ready access to the positions that offer the financial leverage necessary for that kind of success.
No kidding we get told to read these works for class without really having the tools to appreciate them.

Another example of this is reading The Catcher in the Rye while in high school. The problem with this book for a teen is that theyre as a whole not far enough removed from the angst of Holdon's character to see the bigger picture. To a teen Holdon is this exaggeration of their worst characteristics and, this is extra relevant for the AP and honors students who tend to read Salinger, a literally manifest of their most annoying and disruptive classmates. Getting over this is a lot to ask a teenager.

However removed from a teenage perspective it's much easier to see why the book is well regarded. It depicts a kid broken by the loss of his sister and broken by the abuse handed down to him from his caretakers. Being unlike Holden just makes it so much easier to empathize with him.

Everyone has these problems dude. It's perfectly normal and as you get older you stop beating yourself up (to some degree) and focus on the things you do well and slowly you realise maybe you aren't the best, but that you are a high quality person, in different and interesting ways from everyone else.

It's no bad thing to experience some bad times and feel these feelings from time to time - what I've found with myself is when I get to this point I have an automatic "fuck this shit" response where I, for example, move to Japan to work full time on startup ideas. Sometimes when stuck in a rut there is no harm at that point saying "fuck it" I'm just going to make a big exciting change and see what happens.

Another example; I can't even swim really (more flailing, should probably learn) and I was in the Andaman Islands on holiday and everyone was diving and I basically panicking when I put my head in the water with a snorkel on, what was I thinking signing up for Discover Scuba. So after managing to get over that initial fear, I ended up signing up for the full PADI and then did my advanced on the same trip because I loved it so much. I cleared my mask and swam sharing oxygen at 25 meters (while looking at the under water equivalent of Avatar). That fear turned into pure excitement for life.

So if you want to be less in your analysis mode - my advice - get out of what you are doing now and make a big change, whatever is (and even if it doesn't work out) while you are trying life will taste a bit sweeter.
I'll be honest, the very second someone uses slang; in my mind, their competence/honesty/IQ just drops 20 percent.

Even in school, when slang was supposedly cool; I just hated it. I was a bad boy too. I hung out with the wrong crowd, but these animals didn't use slang either.

I though that the Internet would put an end to slang, but between Rap, and the Internet I don't think it's going away--regretfully.

(Over use of acronyms is just as bad. It's doesn't make anyone look hip, or capable. Yea--I get their need, but some people just abuse them. Gavin Neusom knock it off. I went to school with you. I know you can barely comprehend the complexities of your home appliances. Boy--I could write a book on rich kids, and just how many times they can fuck up, but daddy/family ties always are there to put things back in order. Nuesome's, and Getty's have always been very close. The wealthy kids need to work hard at failing. The stories I could tell about the Neusom family members. Sorry, got off track.)
FYI each coroutine is normally considered its own thread of execution (which is a distinct thing from a kernel scheduled thread).

Coroutines are distinct from threads as they normally lack a scheduler (the decision to which coroutine run next is either made statically ot explicitly by the coroutine); coroutines meant to be used on top of an userspace scheduler are often called fibers (or simply userspace, or green, threads).

A lot can be done with printed cardboard for creating a fun case. A cardboard box version for the hobby developer targeting the 'pro' version could make development easier to get into.

This article is a bit clickbaity. Shakespeare's genius is most certainly not nonsense, his corpus of work as a playwright is unparalleled in its size and quality.

Sure, some of his characters may be a bit flakey and some of his stories 'too drawn out', but the man's genius lies only partly there. His ability to pluck words out of thin air to create his narrative (the man invented 1700 new words!) and give them directly to the people influenced the English language in a way that very few, or indeed any, individual people have done before. He is a wordsmith in a very literal sense.

While his comedy night not translate well to other countries or cultures, and some is lost in time, a lot of it is incredibly astute and still very very funny today. He also had a huge influence on the now-classic farce, something that has moved from the stage to the screen still carrying his marks.

My mother has seen every single play performed live, so I was taken to quite a few when I was younger and developed a taste for him. The man was a genius.
I think so. It's all about heat regulation: we have far more sweat glands than any other species, even our ape ancestors.
All else being equal, not advertising your virtue would seem like right thing to do. Though, from more utilitarian perspective, if you actually care about about cause and want to make a difference, this could be wrong decision to make.

In effective altruism circle it is quite common to argue to be public about your charitable activities, lets it will inspire others to do the same, and there seems to be sufficient evidence to say that it indeed works.

BTW, I hope that someday economist will stop spreading barter myth. Yes, it is nice thought experiment conjured by Adam Smith, but if you actually look what anthropology and ethnography has to say about it, you will see it is completely baseless claim [0].

It could be both. Perhaps Apple concluded that 1) they're subpar with cloud services and will have difficulty competing, 2) there's a growing need/demand for more privacy and less 'cloud', and 3) Apple's products are already, on the whole, recommended when it comes to privacy.

And based on that they figured privacy was a good thing to aim for. Play to their strengths and differentiate based on that.

Even an app which you could program yourself would be excellent. It seems the system has equal belief in the reliability of all wifi networks, in terms of sticking with them. I'd like to give good reputation to my home wifi, but any new wifi should start with low reputation. And anything with a captive portal, you really want your phone to connect via 3G every few minutes to see if the connection is filtered.
For longest time I used Samsung Galaxy with CyanogenMod, while it was usable. It was pretty much a stretch. I'm also guessing using that old ass phone for so long is one of the huge factors why smartphone isn't a big part of my life (as it seems to be for most of people of my age). Since my phone was so slow and barely worked I always opted for other means of communication and face-to-face socialising.
It's a little bit bizarre that Taleb continues to be lionized by anyone, let alone the HN crowd, given how terrible a public intellectual he is.
There's a patch set for the kernel called PREEMPT_RT:

https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/realtime/start

It contains patches to get latencies down and touches numerous subsystems of the kernel. Most importantly, interrupt handlers become preemptible. (Normally interrupts are executed in "atomic context", i.e. they cannot be preempted. This also means e.g. that you can't sleep in an interrupt handler because the timer interrupt is disregarded. With PREEMPT_RT_FULL, interrupts are executed in "process context", i.e. as normal kernel threads which can be interrupted.)

We use the kernel branch of the Foundation (which contains a ton of patches required for hardware support of the Raspberry Pi), cherry-pick the realtime patch set on top, then apply three custom patches, one is a fix to make the USB driver's interrupt handler preemptible. The result is this branch:

https://github.com/RevolutionPi/linux/commits/revpi-4.4
I thought the criticism was quite valid.

If high efficiency wasn't touted as a feature then it would have been fine. But when it turns out that one of the main selling points is performance (with no expressed limitations or restrictions) and regular patterns perform badly, as a consequence of the design, then it is quite valid criticism. (Whether this is the case in practice I don't know but GP brings up a very valid point)

GPs point begs the question - Why was it designed in such as way? Quite possibly the tradeoffs were considered and the current solution was targeted because of several reasons. But the page doesn't convey any of that, it simply states that "In fact, it is one of the fastest packet sniffing and interpretation libraries available.".

While I agree with your point the library isn't exactly marketed as a lone wolf effort either, and that will also affect the criticism it will receive.
