they are trying to buy their way into innovation
however they dont have any attractor for that of their own - not a real economic opportunity behind them. just a bunch of leftover money. 'talent acquisition' looks too much like yahoo. companies need an adhesive, typically an enormously strong forcing function caused by economic currents. it can be other things, like a magnetic leader etc.
GM has none of that, only gubermint bailout money
so while that is going to get somewhere (since they have a lot of it) I would assume they will still be outcompeted by other companies with stronger attractors (econ opportunities, PR, ..) and movers (like mission/aspriations, inspriation, arbiters of quality, ..)

and of course there is the negative sentiment about it beeing illegitimate, unearned, perhaps undeserved if epistemology swings that way, because of the above

Or maybe, just maybe, it could have been about some actual forgotten country where only name of a city or something survived?

Obviously you can use whatever title you want and be as poetic as you like, but at least in my mind I was going to a very different place than "mathematician".

As for your examples, they don't really fit, since we have way more context about them. If you are going to see a movie with a title "No country for old men", you can be pretty sure that the title wont be literal (unless it's an comedy movie, in which case it might be). As for the quote, most people get that "past" is past and not some place and certainly they are not going to start looking for "yesterday" like you suggest, that's just stupid of you to even suggest. Anyone who is aware that "yesterday" is part of "past" already knows what you are talking about. However most people do not know who or even what Grothendieck, to me it doesn't even seem like a name of a person, but that's just me.

Hello Smerity,

I have read the deeplearning book and I think it's great that you know Yarin. His PhD thesis is the closest thing to a survey paper on uncertainty in Deep Learning. I also think that while the original dropout paper is nice, Yarin's paper extends this method in a very useful manner.

Now, let me address your other points:

1. This is not for people who want to get started in deep learning. Or it could be. Do you know how I got started into mathematics?

2. The dubious neuroscience connection isn't dubious at all. In particular, I would also advise that you read 'Towards an integration of deep learning and neuroscience' by Marblestone et al. If you still disagree, I could assure you that Dr Kriegeskorte, Konrad Kording, Professor Bengio and many others are of a different opinion.

Furthermore, the language of statistical learning has shown its limitations. Consider Srivastava's paper on Locally Competitive Networks and every other paper on deep rectifier networks for example. As the complexity of deep models approach those of biological systems, I have no doubt we'll be using similar tools to understand these models.

fyi: I'm currently working on deep rectifier networks.

> Still, this may be an issue that's more about squeamishness than safety. Of the 20,000 cases of nematode infection from eating fish reported globally, over 90 percent of them are in Japan.

Unless you're susceptible to infection this is really about perception rather than health risks.
I think there are better ways to solve the problem of maintainers burning out.

Encouraging code contributions is a good thing, it encourages people to suggest solutions to their problems. I think it fails to solve the burnout issue, though, because processing those PRs is also work for the maintainer.

Encouraging donations is also a good thing, because good work deserves reward, and sometimes cash is an appropriate way of helping a project.

The problem with both of these tactics is that they reduce the overall input of ideas - both good and bad - into the project. They make no distinction about the quality of the ideas or the validity of the issues.

I think a better solution is to address the burnout problem more directly, for example by helping the maintainer manage that huge list of issues. That's hard, because the maintainer is unlikely to trust just anybody with their project, if anybody even volunteers. But if a project you really care about is failing because of this, then maybe that's a way you could offer to help. The worst that's likely to happen is that the maintainer will say "no, thanks".
I dropped Netflix back when they decided to blacklist VPN IP addresses. Using a VPN address for my own country was pretty much the only way I would be able to access content without it being throttled or manipulated by my ISP.

Then they went ahead and worked with T-Mobile on Binge-On where they would throttle speeds and cap the resolution to 480p on their network which was also a troubling sign.

Unfortunately the outrage and backlash wasn't enough then as the CEO brushed it off as only a very small minority that would actually cancel over net neutrality concerns like these so it didn't make much difference.

And unfortunately, here we are today, where I'm worried it still won't make a difference.
S/He will start caring when s/he will be arrested because of a May joke or a neighbour denouncing him/her of being a terrorist. That is how it worked in communist countries. Neighbour issues? Just write a denouncement and file it. The Stasi will do the rest.
A good tutorial: https://medium.com/@mbebenita/lets-write-pong-in-webassembly...
Sure: The book I mentioned earlier (A Beginner's Book of TeX by Seroul and Levy) is my favourite learning resource. You may able to find it in a library, or wherever you look for books. (There are other books available for free online, such as A Gentle Introduction to TeX
(http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/plain/gentle/gentle.pdf) and TeX for the Impatient
(http://mirrors.ctan.org/info/impatient/book.pdf).)

If all you have is a passing curiosity though, you may just want to look at some examples: Knuth has .tex sources of some of his papers on his website (https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/preprints.html); you can look at them and compare with the resulting PDF files (which you can generate with `pdftex`). For an already typeset example, look at JRM2680.tex (https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/papers/JRM2680.tex) and JRM2680.pdf (https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/papers/JRM2680.pdf).
Is that plus living expenses? I went to a large 'football school' type school which was not cheap, but tuition a hair under 8K for a semester.
A lot of the advice seems misguided, if not wrong. Rather than optimize around the limitations of select(2), I'd suggest using different APIs instead.

For example:

> Literature ussually says that fd_set is limited to 1024 descriptors but some mention that you can increase that by defining FD_SETSIZE to a larger number.

If you just need a one off tool for a few descriptors, why not just use poll(2) instead? No problems with high fd numbers, and the API is quite simple.

> To find out which sockets have events some loop through data structures and check each socket they contain. But a much better way is to iterate through fd_set as array of long and check 32-64 bits at a time.

If you've reached the point at which this trade-off matters, you're better off switching to a socket API that scales well (epoll or kevent) and does this filtering for you. Or like another commenter suggested, using a library that abstracts this functionality.

> select modifies descriptor sets passed in. A common mistake is to create descriptor set from zero before calling select by looping through data structures and adding all sockets they contain. I’ve seen that to take huge amount of time due to locking and synchronization between threads. The correct way is to maintain a descriptor set all the time and create a copy of it and pass the copy to select.

Again -- if you've reached the point where this tradeoff matters, just go directly to epoll/kevent.

> Most programs will need to store some state associated with the socket. Map seems to be a good choice at first but you should use an array indexed by socket (it’s an int). The POSIX API says that kernel always has to use the lowest unused file descriptor when creating a new one. So the array will be as big as many connections your program handles and kernel will take care of finding a free slot in your array.

Maybe your program deals with non-socket fds, and the set of socket fds is fairly sparse. Using a map is actually pretty reasonable even if fds are dense.
How to Recover DBF Files Manually?
How to Repair Corrupted SQL Server Database Manually?
The moral hazard of capital is that people lose their humanity, so to speak, so "people aren't" isn't actually a limit on the behavior of capitalists.
Thinking something along the lines of, implementing/modelling SQL operators in FPGA hardware, using massive parallelization through the FPGA. That needs direct I/O access to very fast storage to be optimal, and probably still additional processing via a CPU or GPU.

Expensive custom data warehouse appliances like Netezza already do something like this, but I'm hoping for an implementation that is less expensive and more generally available, that can be exploited to accelerate any database's operations. Bonus points if it can scale up to a distributed model somehow.
There's a pretty big difference between "fine" and "great". Have you detailed what you actually did in each job/project? Are you somehow linking to the final code base? Do you have active Github page which shows your own projects?

My first impression from the fist comment (which obviously wasn't meant to be as a sales pitch, but it's all I got going) was that you've done something, maybe very little, on some open source game projects. Which raise questions like why are these games open source? If they are open source how complex can the games even be? What languages were the games coded in? What did you actually do, did you just adjust something small or did you actually make something sizable?

Even then I come back to "why games?" Maybe it's just my own bias, but there's something about games programming that feels weird if you have no other projects especially if you have no final product to show for it.
Single Page App Back Ends: Where Laravel Beats Node.js
People in the Bay Area (and many people on HN fit this demographic culturally, if not literally) tend to be ethnocentric. I have met so many people that won't take a company seriously unless it is headquartered locally, including at least 2 people who didn't believe me that Amazon was based in Seattle. There is a huge misunderstanding of the auto industry and since people do not understand it they tend to discredit it. This hubris is largely why Google and Apple attempted to build their own cars, and after failing decided to pursue other routes (Waymo partnering with Chrysler and Apple doing who knows what). There is an incredible arrogance in the Bay Area, and denizens tend to think they are smarter and able to disrupt the rest of the world (much like this https://xkcd.com/1831/).

As HN becomes more popular it inevitably becomes more cliquish. While I commend dang on his typically excellent moderation, it is inevitable that with more people and a voting system that a hivemind effect will develop.

Since I'm sure people will criticize me for being new here, this is not my original account and I have been here for a while.

Investment carries risk at all levels. The longer you play the market, the more likely it is that you'll get burned at some point. Professional investors can come up with plans to hedge their risk and avoid calamity. Some of those plans might even work. People who go straight to work out of high school are not professional investors.

"Panic selling" is not always a choice, and it's not always even possible. And no, not everybody who lost a boatload of money during any particular crash ended up OK because they decided to let their investments coast.
People can be amoral. The word wasn't coined only to apply to things that aren't people.
Thanks for your feedback. I agree with your point that past failures, however many, does not guarantee future failure. Aviation is a good example from history.

And we should definitely keep researching stuff, even things which seem like a long shot. We'll almost always learn something useful in the process.

The future will tell I guess.. :)
True, though I imagine a lot of crashes can occur from just that 0-60. There are lots of Internet videos that attest to this.

It would be interesting to see a history of CPUs in terms of their layers of abstraction. When was something like "MOV AX, BX" invented, and how far is that from physical ones and zeros (ons and offs) in the silicon? Obviously I'm not a CS graduate.
...but why would you?

The fact that there are people "getting their jimmies up" on questions of training massively paramterized statistical models on tiny amounts of data should tell you exactly where we are on the deep-learning hype cycle. For a while there, SVMs were the thing, but now the True Faithful have moved on to neural networks.

The argument this writer is making is essentially: "yes, there are lots of free parameters to train, and that means that using it with small data is a bad idea in general, but neural networks have overfitting tools now and they're flexible so
you should use them with small data anyway." This is literally the story told by the bulleted points.

Neural networks are a tool. Don't use the tool if it isn't appropriate to your work. Maybe you can find a way to hammer a nail with a blowtorch, but it's still a bad idea.
If money is no problem for you, hell yeah, get a liberal arts education and pursue your passions. I totally agree that a degree in something you enjoy can be very personally rewarding.

Most people don't give a shit about their jobs. They want to be comfortable in their lives, go home at 5, retire early and get on with doing what they like doing. To do that you need money. To get money, you need to have skills that create value for the entity paying you.

I'd argue that college is only about the money, because money is more freeing than anything you can learn. Just look at all the dumb rich people in the world and all the smart poor people that can't get a foothold.
I would disagree, you still have the build time. And even if engineer doesn't do anything during that time, they are still occupied. No one would switch tasks during 10 minute build, there's just nothing you can do during such a short timeframe. In that case, in terms of business costs, it doesn't matter if engineer is busy or not during that period: they are still not gonna be doing more.
Have you ever try Drupal Views?
Lived there (Bahrain) for 12 years, this is pretty big deal, you have to take this in context of both religious and location-wise, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia are literally within 25 min to max. 2hrs flight from Qatar. This is similar to Germany and several European countries suddenly declaring that France should be kicked out of the European Union and cutting off ties.

As well, a lot of business and trade happens between the Gulf countries which is pretty much put to a stop right now. My family has business in both Qatar and Bahrain and they're very much wondering what to do.

Moreover, religious-wise, I'm not too familiar with Qatar, but I believe they would have a similar system to Bahrain where the rich 10% are Sunni and the poor 90% are Shia left over from the colonial days.
That was beautifully worded, and I would so love to read a post where you expand on what you said.

>> The process of rejection is commonly considered to have begun with Descartes and to have culminated in Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection.

That seems unlikely, as Descartes was a vocal gnostic and a proponent of a designer god idea. He did not believe that "potential being" could be construed as an actual being.
...and a terrible job for 40+ years
Thank you for insight. If the deployment indeed takes hours and there are high chances of pulling wrong builds, then indeed the time costs are very tangible. But if manual deployment takes at most 10 to 20 minutes and relatively straightforward, then it might be less of a case. Depending on how often you deploy also impacts this greatly. I guess in certain cases ROI is just not extremely high and that greatly reduces the appeal of such investment.

Talk about as substance-less criticism as any. A lot of the criticism of his/er project here seems to be on non-substantive things (commit messages, tone of the medium article) and not on the substance (the actual fucking protocol).

Agreed. There are a lot of good points in this thread about why visual programming falls short for general purpose computing. However, I would argue that it already has a firm foothold in select domains such as presentations (powerpoint).

I quite often use UI mockups to show an example of the end result (or ask others to do the same). It doesn't even matter if it's correct, but it's a useful way to start a discussion. I've tried to do this in words but often different people have different interpretations and it simply doesn't work without a picture.

I've also found it very useful when people are asking for things that don't entirely make sense, such as a chart/report that would require 3+ dimensions. By asking them to draw an example, they realize the challenge and we can make progress.
