It's copy-pasting parts of the training images over and over.

In figure 8 of the technical report [0], compare the hair in images (0,0), (2,0), (3,0), (3,3), (4,4).

The paper suggests their method generates copyright-free images, yet they are very obviously derived from the input images and you can identify the parts of individual input images that are mashed together to form the output.

All in all their method seems to be performing "obfuscated memorization," in the sense that the generated images are scrambled up enough to fool their plagiarsim-detector loss function.

Interesting read about electrocardiogram (ECG), machine learning (ML) and convolutional neural network (CNN) that outperforms humans in diagnosis, since it has a large training data set.
Keep in mind though, that two out of five writers of the paper are from http://irhythmtech.com/ and the measurements were taken with their Zio product (patch you wear that records for 14 days), but that doesn't make the results any less valuable.

Good points, but there's still the fundamental problem of investing: either you try to make profits now, on the scale that you can do that with your current resources, or you try to make a bigger bang later on which will pay for your early losses. It's the same as "should I go to university or start working now?" or "Should I spend my days fishing with this spear or invent a better way, eg a net? If I take too long I'll starve."

All the points he makes have a double-edged quality to them: keep more of the company, but what if getting a VC boost would give me a smaller slice of a bigger pie? Build something small now, or build the killer product for next year? Keep things simple, or home run later? Focus on things that matter, or pay for someone to come in and cover those bases? Build culture, or let it emerge?

There's an ecological aspect to this as well. If a lot of firms can make big bets, it reduces opportunity for a smaller player to grow into the niche that's being fought for.
How did Elsevier acquire the wierd position it is in? What added value does Elsevier provide?
> The fact that there are bad bike lanes is not a reason to stop building bike lanes, it's a reason to build better bike lanes.

Perhaps, but I think it's worth recognizing that, counterintuitively, a bad bike lane can be worse than no bike lane.

> The modal shares of cycling in the Netherlands or Denmark (segregated provision) vs, say, the UK or US (largely no distinct provision) are a pretty clear indicator that segregation gets more people cycling.

Not convinced; there are many differences between these countries. I've heard it argued that e.g. much greater legal liability for drivers who injure or kill cyclists is what makes the difference.

When non-blocking socket I/O was implemented the disk was considered to be too fast to warrant the same kind of treatment. At the API level the different is that sockets, pipes and ttys are have an additional "ready for use" state while files are always ready, because the kernel can do something to access them even if it means blocking the thread while the kernel waits for the disks to respond.

I was merely asking a question.

Elsevier no doubt contributes large amounts of money to the Dutch tax authorities. Governments pick up the phone about this type of thing all the time. There is ample evidence of deal making at the EU level - I'm thinking of the watering down of emissions legislation to benefit German car makers. I don't think it's far fetched at all to imagine a quid pro quo taking place behind the scenes. My question was partly around what kind of leverage Merkel might have down at the university level, as I have no knowledge about this.
Inspired by this I went over to donate money to Arch Linux, since I've just been getting nothing but joy from using it for the last 2 years.

It's all in the README above. But basically each node can have up to 32 (2^5) children. Instead of allocating an array of 32 elements in each node, you have a 32-bits bitmap where the nth bit is set only if the corresponding children is present.

All the children are "compressed" into a single array. To be able to index a child quickly, it suffices to count the number of bit set below the bit corresponding to the child (something that can be done with some masking and a intrinsic bit count operation that maps to an ASM instruction).

This is a bit simplified. In reality each node distinguishes between its children that are actual key-value map entries and those that are nodes.

Additionally, entries are not stored in an extra "Entry" object, but instead occupy two slot in the storage array.

Nevertheless that is your principle: each node is sparse and only allocates storage for the children that are actually present (at the cost of maintaining two bitmaps: one for children entries and one for children nodes).
Can anyone compare this to other backend frameworks like Django and Rails?

It’s been a while since I used Django or rails, but asp.net has the same feature set. Asp.net is more modular than I remember the other frameworks being but that has probably changed in the last few years.

With .net core development is supported on macOS and Linux as well as windows with visual studio code. I develop on macOS myself.

If you’re not familiar with asp.net it’ll be a bit confusing. There are now two versions - asp.net which is windows only and asp.net core which is cross platform. Also there has been a lot of flux in .net core so older tutorials are often wrong.
The main problem for me a while ago were memory leaks in mod_mono. Everything was running mostly fine for the first week or so, then mod_mono was starting to eat more and more memory. A weekly restart would solve the problem, but I hope this is resolved now. I'm afraid under a higher workload this would bring the server to its knees.

How do you "borrow something online" ?

If I download a file from a server, I am sent a copy of the file. They only way I can "borrow" something online, is if they sent me a copy of the file, and then deleted their copy after I received my copy. Then we have to follow the same process in reverse when I "return" the file.
I'm quite high in theorizing/analyzing, which has made me way less likely to exercise the execution muscle. For me, the key to what you said is the discomfort factor, which I'd say analytic types tend to avoid.

I'm at an age/stage where I want to improve upon what I don't know well, including within myself. The main thread seems to be lack of execution, but perhaps it's actually discomfort avoidance.

Also, in some counties (the UK is a prime example) the rules governing "impact" is largely dictated and/or influenced by central government.

5 Important Things to Know Before Buying a New Computer
I only saw the headline but yeah, that was enough. Although from other Daily Stormer content I have seen, that's pretty much par for the course.
I would argue that the species will be fine. If your definition of 'fine' is the species surviving. If 99% of the human race were wiped out by Global Warming we would still have 70 million humans on the planet (approx one UK). That should be more than enough to repopulate given a long long time.

Obviously that would be a terrible disaster the likes of which our race has never seen. 100 times the death toll of WW2 and would destroy pretty much all our infrastructure etc as supply chains fail etc. This is something we should strive to avoid at all costs but I do think the species would survive. We are quite a hardy bunch actually.

Don't forget Visual Studio for Mac (improved MonoDevelop improved Xamarin Studio)
Yes, the trick is that disk device is considered "fast", so it's not selectable - it's always ready to read/write, which is a lie. I _feel_ (and think, I don't have any data to prove this) the main problem here is the file system layer, which may or may not need to block _after_ the operation is performed, and this complexity doesn't occur with sockets/pipes.

Having a always-ready state on regular files is a problem since Linux's non-blocking is going around readiness. On Windows (and I believe on Solaris/FreeBSD), completeness model is in place, so you schedule an operation, kernel does _everything_ and then you're resumed upon completion of IO.
It's not so much for speed and heuristics but for error reporting and/or recovery.

As it turns out (and I've tried many times myself too), designing a parser generator that will retain a compact representation without losing good error reporting is very hard.

E.g. consider a BNF type grammar. Almost every symbol represents a potential error. But often deriving that error message automatically in a way that is helpful to a human is incredibly hard because the grammar lacks information about which mistakes are more likely for humans to make.

So we end up with bad error reporting, or you end up having to write code to analyse errors anyway, and then a lot of the benefits disappear - the actual parsing is usually easy to do compactly with a recursive descent parser and a tiny library of helpers anyway.

> The conclusion I've come to regarding Google is that you just have to accept it for now. The services that they provide are so above and beyond anything from any other provider that to not use them puts you at a great disadvantage.

Dear lord this isn't even remotely true.

I haven't used any Google services save Maps for nearly 5 years now and I only used Maps a few times when I first learned to drive before realising that OSMand and HERE Maps were actually better.

That's just one example. There are alternatives to pretty much everything Google offers, some even better.

The only thing Google offers that isn't matched is seamless integration between its various services, but if you are not heavily invested in the Google ecosystem to begin with, or are not resistant to change then its not an issue at all to move away from it.

Honestly the most dofficult part of stopping using Google is switching all your email addresses over for the various online services you use. That takes a few hours at most.

Exactly this is capitalism at it's finest. Working on open source projects by itself has rewards :

1) you probably use it, so you use it yourself and your own situation gets better.

2) you get the efforts of others in addition to your own because of the open source nature (e.g. your code gets maintained, fixed, reviewed, ...)

3) There are plenty of companies (Google, FB, Red Hat, ...) that will give you a great job because of open source contributions you have made (and more general, reputational benefits)

Enlightened self interest at it's finest.

The most general layer in Linux (VFS) doesn't really support asynchronicity, so changing this would require a bunch of changes to every tree and out-of-tree FS - not viable. However, the usual suspects (ext, xfs) actually use a bunch of other APIs as well, where the FS itself is often not involved in simple stuff like a read(2). This theoretically would allow async IO on files in many cases; I believe there is ongoing work in this direction, though. For now, only raw / O_DIRECT is async.
https://www.chachatelier.fr/latexit/ is a solution to that. Write your math in Latex > export as image. I always use that whenever I have to display math in something which doesn't support Latex.

Well this article is in of itself based on a logical fallacy, completely misrepresenting what Demure said about women in tech.

"Liberals are enraged because he argued that, somehow, women have biological differences that may on average make them less suited to careers in tech"

He said nothing about women being less suited, he said women hold different interests, in general. I may not be interested in everything I do, even though I am very good at some of it and just as suited to do it as somebody else.
An execution-first strategy seems to coincide with the idea of rapid deployment and reiteration. Even if that's "crawl before you can walk", at least it's not "theorize about crawling and walking until you think you have a 360 degree understanding." As someone traditionally way more interested in ideas than action, I'm much better at the latter.
