Looking at the code and the actual file generated, it seems that the image is not compressed at all, using one byte per pixel. It also defines a palette of 128 colors, which is mostly unused. A bit of compression would drastically reduce the image size, this kind of monochrome images of axis-aligned blocks compress very well !

Actually, I don't think you can sum up a lenghty "manifest" about a tricky topic in a few sentences without misrepresenting its points and losing the nuance. That might be one of the core reasons why the whole thing got out of hand.

I read the memo 3 times over several days just to make sure that I don't miss a key thing (and I'm still no fully sure). But I bet a hell lots of people who commented on it didn't even read it thoroughly once.

What stops your criticism from being a fully general counterargument against any community with an opinion?

The EFF is biased in favor of free speech and encryption, and markets to cyber-punk programmers. So all arguments in favor of free speech made by any EFF member in any EFF-related article can be immediately discarded.

"dogruck on HN" is biased against rollingstone.com; and gathers upvotes by appealing to people who dislike rollingstone.com(which, separately, is ineffective); so we should discard his opinions.

In fact, because you seem to know about biases, you may actually be more prone to them: http://lesswrong.com/lw/he/knowing_about_biases_can_hurt_peo...

The difference is that in cycle friendly countries the cycle lane has priority over the driveways and small roads (same priority as the road it is next to). In the UK the cycle lane is usually given the lowest priority. This makes a massive difference to safety and usability.
Surely some borrowers and lenders make decisions about making and taking loans based on the actual interest rates on the actual loans? In which case it doesn't matter so much if the rates are calculated based on a fictional assumption about something. At the end of the day every borrower or lender in the market makes their own decision about which lending contracts they take part in.

I'll grant you that. I do die a tiny bit inside when shows like Last Week Tonight or The Daily Show, both of which imply that heavy research goes into their programming, will have their hosts say "Studies have shown..." but fail to give a citation. A simple, unobtrusive on-screen citation text doesn't take trouble to add, yet would significantly boost the shows' credibility - and hopefully coax the rest of the media into doing the same.

Oh, I thought that was included.

The reason for hackathons in Canada are the US crypto export restrictions. You can't export stronger than 128 bit crypto out of the US today without a permit (and even then only to a few countries, which is why many libraries including the Java stdlib only ship with 128-bit crypto by default, and you need to sign a form with the US DoD to unlock 256-bit crypto in Java).

Back in the day it was worse, the limit was at 56-bit, which was easily cracked, and so some countries such as South Korea invented their own crypto (which they implemented as plugin for Netscape and IE5, and which is the reason IE is still used there today), and in yet other situations people simply wrote crypto code outside the US.

In the end, people printed out the algorithms and source code for an RSA implementation, shipped that book to Europe, and typed it back into a computer. This quickly enabled people outside the US to get access to strong cryptography, and soon the crypto regulations became less strict.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_th...

Even today if you have a product, app, program, etc that includes cryptography (even using HTTPS counts) and that is at some point exported from the US to other countries, you need a permit from the US DoD. For example, if you have an app on the Apple AppStore that is sold outside the US.

Andrew Ng: Rather than unconditional basic income, there’s a different solution I favor, which is conditional basic income, but conditioned on individuals studying. I think that there’s something in the dignity of work. Rather than paying people to do nothing, I would rather have society pay people to keep studying, because even though many jobs are displaced, there are so many jobs where we just can’t find enough people to do that work.

If we can pay people not to do nothing but instead to study, I think this increases the odds that they’ll gain the skills they need to reenter the workforce. And contribute back to the taxpayers that could contribute to this new engine of value creation for our economy.

At least the possibility of a basic income is being discussed. Humans won't be able to compete with robots that can work 24 hours per day.

Just off the top of my head, they would only need to communicate if computation time is enough of an issue and they wanted to share conclusions without all of them recomputing those conclusions, or if there was some randomness they wanted to share before it became apparent.

Hello Again, “Airbnb Clone Script – RentALL v1.1.0” Is Out Now
The science doesn’t support the Google memo
The lack of concrete numbers has been bugging me, so I decided to hunt down the variance differences and calculate the expected percentage of women in tech.

I found a paper (http://www.ams.org/notices/201201/rtx120100010p.pdf) that reports a variance ratio of 1.15 for the maths scores of boys vs girls. Interestingly, they showed a negative correlation between variance ratio and gender gap for students in different countries. (In countries where boys have higher variance of maths scores, they tend to do worse on average than girls.)

However, the hypothesis that gender ratios in CS are influenced by the higher variance additionally involves a highly selective environment. So I decided to compute how the ratio changes when a minimum score is imposed. Python code below.

gender_ratio_to_population_ratio = lambda gr: gr/(1+gr)
from numpy import sqrt
variance_ratio_to_standard_deviation = lambda vr: sqrt( 2*gender_ratio_to_population_ratio(vr) )
from scipy.stats import norm
ratio_above_threshold = lambda thresh, vr: norm.cdf(-thresh, scale=variance_ratio_to_standard_deviation(vr))
male_female_ratio_above_threshold = lambda thresh: ratio_above_threshold(thresh, 1.15) / ratio_above_threshold(thresh, 1/1.15)
male_percentage_above_threshold = lambda thresh: gender_ratio_to_population_ratio(male_female_ratio_above_threshold(thresh))

When the threshold is "at least average intelligence"

>>> male_percentage_above_threshold(0)
0.5

equal representation, as expected.

In steps of one standard deviation above the mean:

>>> male_percentage_above_threshold(1)
0.52668314725189336
>>> male_percentage_above_threshold(2)
0.58239639246408581
>>> male_percentage_above_threshold(3)
0.66604327143250408
>>> male_percentage_above_threshold(4)
0.76581194732953917
>>> male_percentage_above_threshold(5)
0.86031277779790205

To fully explain 80% men in a profession using only higher variance as the criterion, you need a threshold of at least 4 standard deviations above the norm. In terms of IQ, that is at least 160. I don't think programmers have to be quite that smart.
I initially confused the 8501 with the 8051 which is a totally different architecture. However, a quick Wikipedia trip taught me that the 8501 is a later variant of the 6510 so they're pretty much compatible. Still very impressive of course, especiall the part of re-writing the kernel to fit the different pin-out.

"If two people in a household are commuting 135km/day each for 20 days/month in a Tesla Model S, electrical energy consumption of the household doubles."

This is a big problem if everybody wants to charge at peak times. But most people charge overnight. Smart chargers and smart grids will ensure that loads get balanced and there isn't a huge spike in demand at 7PM when everyone plugs in as they get home from work.

In a future where grids are supplied largely by renewables and nuclear, EVs will benefit the grid by soaking up excess supply at off-peak times. When they're plugged in, they're effectively storage batteries on wheels.

TV is interesting. It's amazing to see kids watching TV, and I remember how stimulating it was to my imagination (animated shows, live action shows...). I think it taps into a deep desires for virtual schemas in the form of stories as a way to learn. Except you don't learn anything, especially since it's passive and none of what you see gets translated into reality. Maybe turning half of TV consumption into real world challenge/game could restore balance.

The issue, as always, are malware installers on Windows.

Many companies (including Google) pay developers on Windows to ship their addons (or even entire browsers) with the installer, and to auto-install them.

This is how Google got their toolbar addon installed everywhere in the past, how Chrome is installed as default browser without the user noticing, how Bing gets their toolbar installed everywhere, and so on.

It's also used by other actors, not quite as evil as Google or MS, to distribute their malware addons and automatically install it in browsers.

By enforcing registration on AMO, Mozilla can easily remove an addon that was distributed this way for all users.
It'd be awesome if that would also search through page content.
I would prefer, as UX, that it would follow this order:

- First load first frame on lowres (may be so lo that is blurred)

- Then add a small rotating loading icon on top of image, possibly with a notation that is a GIF

- Then load first frame completely at correct resolution

- Then load all the other frames in the background, only showing me the first frame still

- When all frames are completely loaded, remove loading rotating icon and run the GIF normally.
Or consider learning calculus.

Bad comparison. You can buy renewable from your electricity provider so the entire 'being green' factor goes away in this comparison.

People buy Teslas because they are fun to drive/nice cars and they get environmentalism bragging rights. There is nothing special about a solar roof compared to paying the utility for the renewable source.

It seems odd that someone would not know the copy/paste keyboard shortcuts, but the most likely explanation is that he hadn't figured out that it's Command+C rather than Ctrl+C on the mac.

That being said, while using the 'edit' menu to copy/paste is clumsy, I don't see that it would actually have a significant effect on someone's productivity. So I would not go so far as to say that someone was incompetent just because they did that.
Learn discrete calculus from Knuth's Concrete Mathematics first; it is combinatorics-heavy and once you get to differences and summation per-partes, you can quickly extend it to "normal" calculus as you master notion of "limit".

It's still how Tesla exists now until they can deliver the 3 at scale.
I think so. The slight difference in latency would push their decisions slightly out of sync.

Like if the opponent changed where one unit was moving within a lag delta and a different decision was made, but also seeing a teammate bot execute a decision first would alter the inputs for the others.

You don't have to imagine, he talks about internet and was extremely critical of it.

I think he missed a critical point of it though: he sees books as ways to save and exchange ideas of interests coming from various authors while TV is mostly a control tool because it has to go through one choke point that can be controlled by a big, potential nefarious, entity.

He sees internet as an extension of TV but its flow of information is inherently different.

People that want grid independence are quite selfish when they simultaneously demand that the grid pay them retail rates for excess electricity. They are free riders on the transmission and deliver at suboptimal times.

IMO grid independence is not a laudable goal because it means no scalable energy storage and production systems. Particularly when someone still wants the option to use the grid at their convenience. The maintenance burden is now spread across fewer paying customers with the same number of lines to maintain.

economics: as market share for electric cars grows demand for gasoline goes down and the price for gasoline (already low) goes down thus exacerbating the already large gap in cost between electric and gas.

electric will always be a victim of its own success unless it can actually become competitive with ice on cost and energy density.

remember that the baseline cost for an ice car is about $1000 (used) and $5000 (new). there is a world outside of california (shock) and it has billions of potential customers.

ice isnt going anywhere.
