you know how Nigerian scammers write bad English on purpose so they don't draw smart people by mistake and waste time dealing with them?

unicorn valuation is the same mechanism.

do it so obviously wrong that you only draw dumb people who think they are the only ones smart enough to see the valuation is off so they buy thinking they can profit from their clever and unique insight. and the scam is complete.

Actually yes, that is exactly what I'd like to find out more about. I'm asking why you are so sure that the NYT and other media publication odds were so wrong? Is it just that he won, therefore his odds must have been better than 10%? Most betting markets (which the HN set seems to put a lot of faith in) had Clinton as a 80ish % favorite (http://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/07/betting-sites-see-record-wage...), do you think they were a product of a misled public?

Seriously, some of the altcoins I've seen are launched on such terrible ideas... The Brave browser devs launched one that promises to pay people out for viewing ads. On their open source web browser that anyone can bot. It sold for something like $33M.

I swear I should launch one that's backed by my dog's ability to produce shit, at this point I figure it has a minimum $2M value at launch.

No, it's a lot messier than C. In a regular C program (not using any special libraries for M:N threading) you wouldn't have to spawn an entirely separate process.

This issue is one of the downsides of Go's M:N scheduling. The OS is simply not aware of what the Go runtime is doing, and as a result you get impedance mismatches like this.

It "raises a few eyebrows" because M:N scheduling is unpopular outside of Go and Erlang. It was tried early on in the Linux world and abandoned precisely because of issues like this. Go has repopularized M:N lately, and it's proof that such a system can work for lots of apps, but the downsides of that decision are every bit as real today as they were in the early days of NPTL.

> How has your experience been compared to your previous tech?

IMO. Comparing to C++, Objective-C, Java, Python, JavaScript, Python, D. Nim is an amazing language from its design standpoint. First, why we have chosen Nim for a pretty significant commercial project 2 years ago? Even though at that time Nim was not as stable as it is now, the main bet was on its hackability and compilation through C. That means a lot of things. E.g. we can fix some bugs in Nim ourselves, because the entry level is much lower than, say, with LLVM-based compiler. And if things go completely wrong and we can't fix them, we could use Nim's {.emit.} pragma to actually inject C code. A hammer of last resort :). As it turned out, there were some minor problems, but all of them were fixed pretty quickly either by our team, or by friendly Nim community. As for the language itself, it's simply amazing. These key points about efficiency and expressiveness are 200% true. But you can easily learn that from some simple pet projects.

> How mature is the standard library? How abundant are third party libraries?

The standard lib is OK, still could be polished a bit. We haven't had any critical issues with it. As for the third-party libs. Of course you can't be serious comparing Nim ecosystem to some more mainstream one, like js, python, go, you name it. During our project we had to reinvent a lot. There's an interesting observation though that things in Nim may be invented a lot faster than in aforementioned techs, but yeah, someone has to do it =).

To summarize.
If you're thinking whether it is worth to start a real commercial project in Nim (the answer is of course YES! DEFINITELY! =), consider the following:

1. Of your products' 100% functionality how much can be done with third-party libs? If the answer is "you take ruby on rails, write a couple of lines of code, and done!" then unfortunately Nim is not your option yet. But if this is a game, or a backend with a lot of logic, an app with simple UI and a lot of business logic, there is a good chance that Nim is your option.

2. If this is embedded code (like firmware or driver) you'd otherwise write in C or C++, you should consider Nim in the first place.

3. If so happened that Nim is a good option for you (which is rather likely), make sure your team has one or two experienced developers which can handle unexpected issues. Such developers should be fluent with C/C++ and JS (if you're using Nim JS backend or asm.js compilers). They should know how stuff works for the case, when you need a lib which is not available in Nim, and you decide whether to bind an existing one from foreign ecosystem, or to write your own.

4. Don't be afraid of the fact that Nim is still pre-1.0. Minor things may break occasionally, but nothing that single developer could not fix in a couple of hours in a 100KLoc project. Such things happened pretty rarely in our case and they are becoming even less frequent as Nim develops.

Love the pure (realistic?) linear scaling of "projected" performance​ in the graph
"Many other toolkits create examples that appears to be identical to the original implementation of a paper, and then offer a converted model for people to download and evaluate. This is highly irresponsible in our opinion. In CNTK we pay a lot of attention in tracking down bugs and make sure the toolkit can be used to actually train the model from scratch and achieve state-of-the-art accuracy.

One example is the Inception V3 network (https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.00567) originally developed by a few researchers at Google. Tensorflow shared the training script for Inception V3, and offered pre-trained models to download. However, no one were able to retrain the model and achieve the same accuracy with their script. The best accuracy that were achieved by a third party (Keras in this case) is about 0.6% worse that what the original paper reported. Researchers in the CNTK team worked hard and were able to train a CNTK Inception V3 model with 5.972% top 5 error, even better than the original paper reported! The training script is shared as an example (https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/tree/master/Examples/Image...) and you may verify it yourself."

Ha ha, that does read like sour grapes.

I think that depends... open floorplans already have plenty of ambient noise usually. Chatter, people on phones and web calls. If the voice input picked up in a small range and people got in the habit of kinda semi-whispering their occasional commands... I doubt it'd be a massive difference.

Yeah, that's Aumasson. He compared it to finding that P=NP; sure it could happen, but it probably won't, and by the time we get that far "future-proofing" suddenly ceases to be a coherent concept for a lot more than just SHA-2.

“If you’re arguing, you’re losing.” — Mike Thomas

No, no, no.

A shouting match doesn't help anybody. A civilized exchange of arguments does. And the establishment of evaluation criteria is a very good basis for listening to the other.

The not-arguing approach often times results in "let me show the merits of my technology without listening to your requirements / evaluation criteria".

C is different from C++ because it targets different use cases. So it needs to be evaluation in the context of use cases. End of story.

I am reading the book along with the course. "Mind for Numbers" is superset of the course, so see if you like the course and then maybe buy the book. So far I am pretty happy with the material and presentation. Armed with all this knowledge, the real challenge is ofcourse, to implement these techniques in your daily life, while breaking years of bad habits. But I am motivated enough to keep trying to do it.
Is this a legitimate claim they make? If so, is there a source?
Um. This isn't something where you can just run your reactor in different configurations at test time and run time. The technology has come a long way since the 1960s and the math and science have advanced transformatively. Building an unsafely non-compliant nuclear plant would be like building a diesel car and then trying to tell the regulators that it's electric. You can do some fudging, sure, but things like the sign of the void coefficient are effectively impossible to lie about.

Whom killed Prolog?

Answer: It killed counter-strike agents not based on Prolog.

A few quotes from the paper that I found especially interesting:

Prolog is a general-purpose declarative programming language, which bases strongly on a first order logic. Prolog uses notions of facts and rules, whereas execution of Prolog program is de facto a formal reasoning process. Therefore, it is very convenient to use in artificial intelligence programming.

1. C++ bot code can be rewritten to Prolog,

2. Prolog bots can be used efficiently.

And also, very importantly:

Unintended, but very positive outcome was ability to test reasoning layer independently of the game engine which was very complex system. During development of Prolog scripts standard Prolog test suites were created in order to
carry out regression tests.

This can hardly be overemphasized: Prolog is extremely well-suited for generating and writing unit tests.

Is this common? Do libraries such as Tensorflow occasionally license portions of themselves only for non-commercial use?

I ask because when CNTK was first shared it was also under a non-commercial license. It seemed to subsequently drop off the radar for many people (eg. It wasn't mentioned in Stanford's ConvNet course or in Udacity's Machine Learning course).

From what I understand, Ambrosia is transfusing plasma, not whole blood.

There are a number of studies, going back many years, suggesting that young blood has a rejuvenating effect in older animals.

I have been using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to develop therapies for stroke and other forms of neural injury for more than a decade. What is particularly striking, is the effect of age upon these cells is quite obvious, both in vitro and therapeutically. In our own work, we found that when we treated stroked older animals with syngeneic MSCs from younger mice, they recovered much better than if they were treated with aged-matched MSCs.

What is even more interesting IMO, is that a couple of groups have reported that transplantation of young-to-old bone marrow, or just young-to-old MSCs significantly extends lifespan in mice. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23967009 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22355586

Based on the value of preserving your own autologous bone marrow stem cells, and their potential to be used in self young-to-old rejuvenating transplantation, I co-founded https://foreverlabs.com. In short, we cryopreserve your own bone marrow stem cells, to be used later in life. It's much like cord blood stem cell storage, but for adults.

The blood is born out of the bone marrow. Furthermore, the bone marrow cells (including MSCs) produce many soluble factors (proteins, cytokins, microvesicles, non-coding RNAs, etc.) that can significantly alter the blood profile. Thus, there is reason to believe that the parabiosis or the 'young blood effect' could be conferred by rejuvenating the bone marrow niche. Indeed, we this might be happening in the studies cited above.

We just launched our own version of a young-to-old bone marrow stem cell transplantation study in mice. It is our goal to better understand and optimize the young-to-old bone marrow transplantation effect, and to eventually offer the ability for our clients to donate their own younger bone marrow to their older selves (in addition to providing a store of young cells for other potential therapies).

There is much work to be done, but IMO there is real opportunity for a health-maintenance approach to medicine, and this is one of them. Disease treatment will not long remain as the most rational or economical approach to healthcare.
I wonder if anyone trades by having split their bitcoin holdings into multiple wallet, and simply giving up private keys to those wallets.

I am not an expert on password hashing but I was wondering why can't the websites hash their passwords twice using two different hash algorithms.

Right, I see your point. But I'm saying - they are asking for public information that ANYONE can search for. When you enter the country obviously they have to ask certain questions (or get info from your passport, ie name, DOB, country of origin, etc) - but I feel people get extra worked up for social media simply because it's digital.

If you have public information out there I have no problem with anyone asking for it - it's public after all!

While the portable, pure C implementation of BLAKE2 that is used almost exclusively by libraries (e.g. Python, OpenSSL) is already faster than MD5...

...there are even faster implementations of BLAKE2 around. E.g. Samuel Neves' AVX2 implementation is almost 40 % faster on Haswell. libsodium ships a different AVX2 implementation (considered experimental AFAIK by its original author, so I find that a bit strange).

> I mean, what's the better alternative to Go for this work? Maybe Rust? It is, at least more controllable at a lower level...but, not as easy to pick up for people coming from a C/Python/Perl/Ruby systems and ops background.

You know, it's interesting. I've been programming with Python for about 6 years now. I've also picked up Javascript, SQL, bash, and PHP along the way. I'm always gaining a little bit of C knowledge here and there when writing C extensions for my Python applications. I'm a fairly experienced programmer at this point. To the point:

I tried picking up Go one day because I was hearing so much about how it could replace Python as network glue code with better performance and reliable concurrency. I can't really validate or invalidate those claims. That said, I found Go to be sort of difficult. The syntax is really simple. Compiling is really simple. Concurrency is even simple. However, need to do something in a different way than Go decides is correct? Well, you can't. It won't even compile. The difficulty in Go is in learning about what the compiler thinks is OK. I don't really like that. You don't really know if your code will work until you compile. Basically, I just think Go isn't really flexible enough for modern programming. I find that Nim can do Go's job better than Go can for my use cases anyways.

While you have a point that they might sometimes be counter-productive, I think that emotions are decision drivers which operate on a higher abstraction level and are a way for the mind to compile vasts amounts of experience and deliberation into a single really fast circuit able to perform split-second decisions.
