This is hindsight. He would have been best off staying the fuck away. As I mentioned a billion times cryptocurrencies (which are not currencies either) have zero legal real world use cases, currently the two uses are illegal money transfers out of China and hype.

Wow, I hadn't even thought of that. The one anecdote I know of was the opposite, but I guess that's because it was clear that the uninsured patient could and would pay a reasonable bill... so presumably they can either get a small bill paid, or a huge bill sent to collections and write-off some tax... ugh, no wonder they need such huge finance departments...

Probably not, and I disagree entirely besides.

We shouldn't break design paradigms or expected behaviour. But design in UI helps us navigate and create a clear mental model . Have you ever tried orientating yourself in the Barbican?
Mining anonymously is much easier that buying anonymously.
All the heavy lifting is done by the JDBC drivers implemented in Java. These are mature and very stable. Clojure libraries wrapping these drivers simply provide a more idiomatic API to them.

I'm not sure which db libs you've looked at, but the most used one is https://github.com/clojure/java.jdbc and it's just a wrapper for the Java JDBC API. The Postgres/MySQL connections are managed by the official org.postgresql/postgresql and mysql/mysql-connector-java driver libraries.

HugSQL hasn't seen much development, because it works well. I'm using it in all my projects, and it's been working perfectly for me. The library has a fixed feature set, which is taking SQL templates and generating functions that make JDBC calls based on them. Now that it's feature complete, the only time you'd see changes would be if the underlying API changed, or for a bugfix. The last commit actually happened 28 days ago, and it was a bump in dependencies.

Just because the repo isn't active is not an indication that the library is abandoned. My experience with Clojure libraries, is that this is usually an indication that the library works well and most bugs have been ironed out. Looking through the issues is generally a better approach of checking the health of the project I find.

If stability of database connection libraries has been your concern, I can assure you that it's misplaced.

I think we should really fix society before we develop that kind of technology. We need a socio-cultural breaktrough of the same magnitude as the technological breakthrough. Something on par with the development of monotheism, enlightenment, capitalism, or democracy. A "communistic" utopia (for lack of a better word) without the flaws of its historical implementations. Then the question is moot. There is no private business, or indeed any other entity, government or private, that you would make such a deal with. There is no second party that wants to withhold technology, or steal your thoughts. Rather it will be "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" - you get the augmentation for free, and you contribute what you feel comfortable sharing back to society.

Often, utopia is portrayed as the result of a technolocial breakthrough, sometimes "if we could read each others thoughts there would be no misunderstanding and conflict". I believe it is the other way around - utopia is a precondition for singularity-type technology. At least, if we want it to be beneficial and not hellish.

Brain implants are easy, communism is going to be hard.

I think it depends on whether you think the price will go up, or merely remain high. Mining lets you make money even if the price remains stable, as long as it's already sufficiently high. To make money with buy and hold, the price needs to increase.

Really? As a potential member of my team, I really do want those questions answered because how you answer them tells me about your character, personality, and thought process.

I don't care what your biggest weakness is. You could have severe OCD or addiction. You could battle depression. You could be a chronic procrastinator. None of those matter. What does matter is if you give a solid straight honest answer, rather than some canned crap you read on a web site somewhere.

Same goes for how you manage multiple high-priority things. Every job I've worked on, every team, it always happens that there are multiple high priority things. Do you try to do them all and then crash and burn? Do you do them half-assed? Do you fight to get priorities aligned? Do you call the sponsors together and share information about the deadlines? Do you under promise and over-deliver? Do you ask for help from your team?

The way you answer is often more important than what you answer. Unless it's "Fuck off."

I think the OP might have been looking for code that already exists, not just techniques for how to build it. But I have some opinions on these techniques.

LDA is not very controllable. It gives you a set number of clusters. Run it again and you get different clusters.

It can't give you documents that are similar to a particular document that you asked for, except to say that all the documents that happen to be in a cluster at the time are similar.

There are indeed up-to-date things you can do with word vectors -- though I'm sad that the tutorials always point to word2vec or GloVe, as if it's 2014. That's ancient in machine learning terms, and we now know of flaws in their outputs, such as [1].

If you want downloadable, pre-computed word vectors, ConceptNet Numberbatch [2] (part of the ConceptNet project that I develop) is the best in class right now, and you can download it in the same format as these older systems. And if you don't believe me tooting my own horn, at least use something else that's been updated in the last year, such as NASARI, or maybe fastText's precomputed English vectors.

Or you can just compare "bags of words", which is still good enough for many applications and readily available out of the box. I believe this is what you get with a "More Like This" plugin for a search engine such as Lucene, for example.

How to Add AI to Your Mobile App
Here is a talk about that paper:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqPcq0n59rQ

I see that it has also gotten mainstream news coverage as some kind of lesson about the dangers of machine learning. The real problem is they didn't have data that could answer the question they had, P(Death|No hospitalization), so instead they fit models to answer a different question, P(Death|Hospitalization).

Then they didn't like that the complex models answered the second question too well, so they used simpler ones that made it easier to manually filter out any results that didn't make sense as answers to the first question (which isn't one they could answer to begin with).

No model they fit is safe. You could only use one limited to domains where P(Death|No hospitalization) ~ P(Death|Hospitalization), which isn't something they assessed.
Heh.
I was reading about the origins of Golang and how Rob Pike and Robert Griesemer were waiting 3 hours or something for a C++ build to finish. And with that much time available - might as well make a brand new language that has compilation speed as a first-class feature.

Are we doing it wrong? In the case of C++ - yes, absolutely, 100% certainly, wrong. I'm not suggesting that Chrome would be better off under Golang - I'm just saddened that 30 years after the C++ abomination was born in Stroustrup's head, nothing else has come out to challenge it.

Maybe Rust?
> So the #1 thing an American can do to fight climate change is be "pro-city". Move there. Encourage building/density there. Help fix the schools. Use, vote for, and demand more and better public transit.

This seems nearly as impossible as direct political action against climate change. Effectively, none of the current residents of cities want anyone else to move there, let alone allow more development, especially of greater density. Cities themselves seem to be pretty uniformly terrible at scaling-up to support larger populations. NYC's subways seem pretty close to crippling failure as-is.

I don't prefer revolution, but some kind of significant 'shake-up' seems pretty inevitable given the ossification of all of the relevant 'systems'.

>>to hear these breathless alarmists talk, they are anti-technology, anti-progress, and apparently want us all to live stacked up in massive cities with no real quality of life at all. I tend to see this as either an exhibition of control-freak tendencies or simply full-on communism.

Where is the second half of the article where, after discussing at length many bad possible outcomes, the guy goes on to propose detailed social engineering schemes to solve the looming planetary crisis??

Either you did not read this article closely, or you are simply trolling. In my opinion, the real ending of the piece was marvelously open-ended. The author concludes by highlighting the irrational , but quintessential human, tendency to see some bright-side to the whole thing-- here are our climate scientists like Hansen and others, that know the most and see of everyone how screwed we are, still maintaining some faith we'll figure it out. And they didn't need 'communism', 'mega city' or some other nebulous concept to help them to that conclusion-- it was/is either habitual, or fantastical.

Related to 1 and 2, people on high deductible health plans are paying everything out of pocket until they hit their yearly cap (then insurance kicks in). It's not even whether you have insurance or the insurance company wanting to reward you, it's trying to save your own money like any other purchase.

High deductible health plans are becoming more and more common, from what I gather.
The article addresses the Bad Parts which are all browser side. The browsers suck. The web is fine. What we need are more powerful browsers that can be programmed by websites to act like native apps. Security can be handled through curation.

What Mozilla (or a new browser startup) should do:

Enable a new type of "extension".

This extension is pre-approved and pre-checked for malware.

This extension lives on the Mozilla cdn and is only downloadable from there.

This extension is automatically installed on a site-specific basis with no user visible UI.

This extension is powerful enough to control the browser and make it resemble a native app.

When a user goes to the website it'll automatically just work just like the native app.

As a Canadian who moved south for work and is rapidly approaching or in middle age, this is my position on the healthcare here: If you have good insurance, it is AMAZING! I understand that others have it worse, but all major software dev employers that I've looked at had really really great HI. In Canada OTOH, the service is much worse for non-emergency things, but everyone gets to have it. From an ethical standpoint, of course I support some kind of 'everyone gets sensible healthcare'. But I pay less out of pocket here than I would in Canada for my family of 5. Financially, moving back to Canada would be a disaster.
>Many times it is touted as the way for minorities to get out of poverty

The reason it is a good approach is that; when you think about poverty, one may go round and round in circles trying to uncover a panacea but it all comes down to productivity. Are a group of people/is a person able to produce goods and services? This (ability) could be hampered by a lack of skills relevant to the current economic environment among other things. To acquire said skills among other inputs, one requires capital. If you consume capital goods, it won't be possible to save up enough to acquire the aforementioned production inputs. Systems like the Asian family-centric one you mentioned earlier allows for 1) creation of capital goods through production and 2) preservation of capital goods through savings and reinvestment over multiple generations.

If there's capital for future generations in such a family, then acquisition of the relevant skills in an economic environment that's constantly mutating becomes plausible.

It starts with a sense of frugality in a bid to amalgamate capital that can be compounded over generations in the future. Without capital generation and preservation (by the subjects themselves in order to cultivate discipline), you have nothing in terms of wealth creation and poverty alleviation.

I think the limitation of our language is a representation of the limitation of our memory and/or thought processing. In college, I remember hearing about people whose language did not have a distinct names for colors, such as blue and green, who also could not distinguish between the two. Meaning, if one held up a blue crayon and a green crayon and asked one of these people if they were the same color, their response would be "yes" in disagreement with your typical American.
Is it profitable because the mining is easier or because the price is rising. It's almost certainty the latter.
I think no - SVMs are explicitly optimized to generalize the best from small data (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinge_loss - 'The hinge loss is used for "maximum-margin" classification'), whereas NNs have more hacky regularization methods. I am not sure if the same is true for tree-based methods, but of course those are lovely due to how interpretable they are when you have few features.
I think this article is mistaken. People are mining Ethereum causing GPU prices to spike 2-3x. Eth is designed to use a lot of memory so GPU mining is always viable.

Because it's super easy to buy and hold Bitcoin, if it becomes more popular the value of mining rigs will increase. Right now, there's probably no material difference between buying the coin itself or buying the rig and mining, but eventually, it may become more pronounced.

There are other benefits as well. Buying the mining rig is a sort of hedge in that if bitcoin drops to $0, you at least have some hardware that can be re-purposed/sold.
FWIW, p0sixninja wanted to create such a thing; it has a lot of complexity, it isn't clear how to fund such a thing, and I will argue that, in the end, it isn't about raw research: while it is very difficult to make software without bugs, it isn't impossible and only a small amount of code really needs to be part of the attack surface. Eventually there just won't be any bugs, even if it takes another ten years. The idea of relying on failure to maintain open platforms is a short term solution: we need legislation.
Isn't the Nuremberg defence more as a defence to breaking the law because you had to follow orders?
I would guess the internal representations are too different. Maybe some are inherited, but most develop over the course of your life.

You can think of it as MS Word vs. Libreoffice Writer. You don't get better interoperability by letting an app access the other app's memory, whcih is a crazy historically grown representation of memory-mapped structs.

And by accessing this private structure (and say memcpy'ing external data into it), you open yourself to lots of exploits, like buffer overflows. No way I'm letting somebody memcpy random information into my brain.
>And I do find that the community is better here than Reddit

No, it's really not. It's much worse.

Reddit is not a single community. It's a collection of tens of thousands of communities (or hundreds even). Each subreddit is really a different community. Some are awful, others are good. And each one is focused on a certain topic.

>The main subreddits of those topics tend to have a lot more armchair types. One of the reasons I love HN is that the majority of users are more informed about the topics than the average person.

And this place doesn't have armchair types? Sure, for programming topics you'll find real experts here, but when it comes to some other type of science or engineering, the users here are know-it-alls who really don't know what they're talking about. Programmers are infamous for this kind of behavior; they think that because they know CS in and out that this also makes them an expert on civil engineering, biology, genetics, etc. People here may be more informed than the average person, but that's not saying much since the average person is a drooling idiot. But if you want to find thoughtful discussion on some engineering topic that isn't computer science or programming, this really isn't the best place for it. I've seen way too many examples of people making terrible arguments about things they really don't know about because it's not their field, and then defending these dumb arguments endlessly.

At least on Reddit you have a better chance of the people in that subreddit being actual experts in that field, instead of just a bunch of Silicon Valley programmers who think they're experts on everything.
