It's entirely possible. I know of a certain open-source application that was banned from an entire component of DHS, specifically because the developer is Russian.
Ask HN: Managing user expectations for human assisted AI products?
I am working on Spext - An editor that automatically transcribes audio/ video and makes it easy to highlight, note and share important quotes.

Problem is though accuracy is 90%+ and it literally saves hours of time, some people think it is not accurate enough.

Would love to hear insights/ ideas on how people are managing user expectations for AI products. The project is at www.spext.co
No, Davis doesn't blame Federal regulation because it wasn't Federal regulation that caused the California energy crisis. The crisis was caused by state de-regulation. That de-regulation (AB 1890) was engineered and signed by Governor Pete Wilson.

Staff concludes that supply-demand imbalance, flawed
market design and inconsistent rules made possible
significant market manipulation as delineated in final
investigation report. Without underlying market
dysfunction, attempts to manipulate the market
would not be successful.

This wasn't on Davis; this was on Wilson and Enron. As for Arianna Huffington, she ran as an independent against Davis is the recall election engineered by Darrell Issa. She'd been a conservative commentator (supporting Newt Gingrich) before she and Andrew Breitbart launched HuffPo.

Et cetera.
Oddly, how I feel towards the expression "human resources" is more like what you feel towards "human capital", because human capital is merely attached to the workers but doesn't fully constitute them, and it only exist in so far people are workers. "Human resources", on the other hand, makes me think of Soylent Green.

About language, I don't think it's an issue that impersonal bureaucratic organizations treat their members in a impersonal way. I'm not sure even if there's another way, because there doesn't seem to be much going for the alternatives either, which so far have been: to turn the firm into a cult by having it establish itself as a surrogate identity or as a substitute for an actual social environment for it's workers; or, to establish itself as a manipulative corporation which insists that their workers are "special", even though they're clearly not treated as such. It's best if people have realistic expectations regarding their employers. Everything else just seems lead to creepiness.

There were a series of talks at the Royal Society about Robot Farming a few months back.

This video, by the head of Harper Adams College, goes into a lot more detail:

https://youtu.be/OU8nwf2UI8g

Agricultural machinery size is now limited by train tunnel size for delivery.

Larger farm vehicles, although more productive per person are heavier and cause soil compaction, which then requires further treatments to fix. Mention was made of light robot tractors able to work wet fields earlier before they are dry enough for a heavy human tractor so extending they growing season. They show an example of a light weight tractor that can drive up and down on a wet field without turning it into mud.
Associative arrays are monoids. Just saying.
I didn't say I was making trivial toy that isn't production ready. :| I just said I'm not using script nodes, and I think that's what TFA boils down to - half of it is about script nodes not being usable and the other half is about sample buffers not being suitable replacements for script nodes.

And obviously not having raw script access isn't a good thing. Nonetheless, the other nodes mostly work as advertised, in my limited experience so far, so the stuff that you'd expect to be able to do with them (e.g. FM/AM synthesis) seems to work pretty well.

> AudioWorklets don't look like they would improve things for me, but that's a topic for another blog post.

AFAIK worklets are supposed to be script processor nodes that work performantly. They wouldn't solve the sample rate problems mentioned in TFA but apart from that I'd think they should be pretty usable if they someday work as advertised.
So if somebody worth 10x as much as shkreli offered 50k for a crime we should know its a joke? Also, what is funny about this? He is a chemist, so if anything saying that he needed it for his lab would make it note believable.

Makes sense. If you have to literally look up to someone when you talk to them, they are in a very solid position of power from an instinctual, "primitive brain" perspective.
In fact this requires special language-specific knowledge anyway (which unicode provides in some tables and algorithms actually). In some languages ä should sort exactly as if it were 'a'. "aa", "äb", "ac". In others it should sort as a distinct letter (but not necessarily between 'a' and 'b'). Different Latin languages sort differently, I'm not sure if exact UTF-8 (or UTF 16 or UTF 32) byte ordering is actually appropriate collation in any latin-alphabet language.

But I do suspect it had something to do with ascii compatibility, I don't recall what. Very little of unicode is accidental, there's usually some reason for whatever in it.
This is a pretty neat product - unsure if the monthly pricing makes sense. Don't get me wrong - it's great value, but I can't see myself using the product for more than one month if the output quickly lands me opportunities / a job after I use it.

The litany of business misdealings detailed in this article makes me wonder how SoFi hasn't been fined out of existence by now.
Ask HN: Should I deemphasize years of experience?
I have 15 years of experience in my area (infrastructure) and I display that prominently in my resume.

I'm looking for a new, non-managerial, position and I was wondering if that is making me look "old".

I only briefly mention my first jobs and focus more on the latest ones. Should I remove them altogether too?

REALLY?? I wonder if there's a Tribes 1 revival group...

Tribes 1 was an absolute favourite in my household growing up. It was the first real viable, extendable MMO fighter I'd played. I don't know if I've had as much fun in a similar format (and I enjoy [like the odd ice cream treat] some modern ones like BF1). Maybe it's just sentimentalism. It was the first game I got my younger siblings into, and they became obsessed. More than me... haha...

I don't think you deserve the downvotes for expressing your opinion.

However, there's nothing wrong with having trusted friends read your work. In fact, it shows respect to your readers, especially if you have a megaphone as PG does. Thanking your editors is polite and that is something we could use more of.
As a side note, ifconfig will not even show all of your IP addresses if they don't have an alias.

So regardless of upgrading it, it's definitely not a good command to use. The infiniband one isn't the only case.
You simply stated that free speech as a moral principle wasn't constrained by the law. I was just reminding you that free speech as a moral principle still has constraints, which are relevant to the discussion of expressions that historically harm others (child pornography, Nazism, etc.)
On which Linux distribution did you find the "This program is obsolete!" note in `man ifconfig`?

I have Debian 9 and I don't see it in my `man ifconfig`!
Totally tangential: It'd be nice if the [dupe] tag took you to the HN original discussion.
Could you elaborate?

The point you're making about untapped technical potential is interesting, but I'm left wanting to know more about what you think the issue/solution is.
Eh, it is what it is. I am politically liberal, all for BLM/LGBT marches, equal rights, believe white privilege is a real thing, etc. Voted for Sanders. Still getting downvoted because the mere mention or skepticism of how privilege is applied attracts the usual attention.

As far as I can tell, my Jewish friends are considered white when they are referred to regarding privilege (by the left) and a minority by the alt-right. They get the worst of both worlds. Asian-Americans get it on a similar, if lower level.
Well duh, a bigger supply of workers will reduce the salary required to meet the demand for labor.

Pretty straightforward supply and demand.
> Same goes for the dollar sign, because it’s somewhat Americentric, and as a currency character it doesn’t have any great semantic or mnemonic value except for, well, currency units.

By that metric, wouldn't & be too Anglo-centric, and # be too Euro-centric? There are layouts out there on which neither is readily available.
> You would still need an escape mechanism for ...

I think this is actually desirable, since in your case the escape denotes different semantics. The unescaped pairs act like quotation operators while the escaped version is a character literal.
I know what you mean, but you will never see MS contributing to Wine will you? Will we ever see office for linux? Why can't we get a proper POSIX layer for windows (like they used to offer)?

Yeah, I'd love someone to make a text editor that is:

* can run via terminal and ssh,

* supports vim themes,

* full support for Language Server Protocol,

* fast and polished

Ask HN: What site/app do you use for portfolio tracking?
Damn! (Just when I thought I was out….) Honest question deserves an honest answer. Very similar motivation. I'm very interested in figuring out how to promote productive, constructive discussions in general and online in particular. The deep polarization that seems to have increased and been exacerbated by the internet is an issue that I think desperately needs to be solved. HN is a community that values constructive conversation and at the same time struggles with it. If I can help make that better, I want to do so. I think a lot of people actually share that same goal, at least implicitly, and aren't always aware of the dynamics of online forums in general or on HN in particular.
I think better advice would be this: You should probably not be a platform zealot of any stripe if you care about having a good career going forward.
Look at the types of loans they have. Their target market is people in a crisis, students, and people with a lack of financial fluency.

People make horrible financial desicions and a lot of companies profit off of them.
Damned good book. Though I disagree with Mme. Ping here.

Funny for a book that's so rooted in tribes and tribalism that Stephenson didn't go with the classic cultural castes.

Roughly: Labourer, farmer, gatherer (forestry, fishes, herds, hunting), trades & crafts, merchant, warrior, priest (now includes teaching and science, also, arguably, storytellers), rulers. I get about eight out of that, off the top of my head.

Five of those are "things" (the first set). There's a case which might be made for priests and rulers as entertainment / storytelling, but I don't think I could put warriors there.

Which is an interesting omission given the Colonel's role in the story -- clearly Warrior. (Though also, given his media screens, very much taken with Story. Hrm....)
but how is that better then ifconfig? with this I see bytes/packets. But not IP, for that I have to use a different command...
ngrok is a simple Unix CLI app that just works out of the box. It also doesn't require any configurations.

The main difference is just the cryptic command line parameters, which most users wouldn't find cryptic, I guess. But maybe non-dev designers will like Localname better.

> One is that it's hard to see (pun unintended) how the explanation for neuronal activity is the same thing as having a red experience.

I guess I don't understand why that's hard to see. It seems pretty straightforward to me. We know that neuronal activity is necessary for the experience, we know that it coincides with the experience, and we know that changing how neurons operate can effect the experience. It doesn't seem like a stretch to say that they are the experience.

> Second problem is that it makes the physical system of brain activity special...It's also hard to see what makes neuronal activity any more special than the cells in your toes or molecules in a rock. Why can't a rock have a red experience when interacting with light at that wavelength?

If we're defining "red experience" as the neuronal activity that humans have when they see red, your wondering why a rock can't have that? I mean, because it's a rock that doesn't have a single neuron, let alone a human brain?

But beyond that - are there people that actually argue that brain activity isn't special? You're not going to have a "red experience" if you have no brain activity.
Either there's a next-page button I'm missing or the title has very little to do with the content.
Except it's not true.

Women between the ages of 18 and 64 spent 18 fewer hours on housework each week in 2005 than they did in 1900. However, men aged 18-to-64 took up much of the slack, spending about 13 more hours on housework in 2005 than in 1900.

What has changed are the specific things they spend time on.

Me too. It was one of the reasons I came back to windows, but it proved useless. Sure I've just discovered it after having a corrupted filesystem.

I dreamed to edit a movie in a video editor, pass a filter using ffmpeg, but can't even edit a file in notepad and run it in Python.

VMs or remote access are still the best solution for development. Even cygwin and using setup.exe to edit files are better.
Yeah, you need to be realistic.
I think you are agreeing with his overall statement, that consciousness is not made of something beyond nature, but is of nature.

He just made the claim that the natural basis of consciousness is not limited to neurons, even though it might be predominated by them.

He is trying to say there are other natural places we can search for the components of consciousness without having to resort to the false convenience of some flavor of dualism, whether Cartesian or Chalmersian(?).
Learning curve can be a pain. Customization afterwards not necessarily, but I see where you're coming from. But once you are competent at Vim and you have it looking like you want it, it is nothing short of delightful. I feel motivated sometimes just because I get to work in Vim.

OK, I'm another data point for "studied category theory; program in an ML dialect; think it's silly".

Most all the theorist/logician/algebraist-turned-programmer folks I know all feel more-or-less the same way.

Just explain the pattern in english. Might as well call it a FooDeBar. Giving axioms and such is usually a waste of The Man's money and my time.

That said, I think it's extremely valuable to see this sort of thing in an academic or side project/enrichment activity setting. The mindset and mental model are fantastically helpful. See dshnkao's post, for example.
Soon you will have problems. She is right.
Same here. I've not booted up my arch VM in months. The file format incompatibility is a small problem.
My high level understanding is that at the start, they tried to target people who were the high "ROI" segment of customers that traditional lenders were lending to. They identified client segments who had better default numbers than the overall debt pool they were placed in, carved them out, and extended them better terms (but terms that would still make SoFi money).

Another way to frame this is that they tried to properly "price" mispriced securities (which in this case are individuals with loan terms with worse terms than their financial profile should beget them). Students working towards advanced degrees from elite institutions were seen by the traditional lending market as higher risk than what SoFi deduced that they should be "priced" at.

Traditional banks need scale in their businesses an order of magnitude or two compared to a startup. There were quite a few startups whose business model is "we will carve away the most profitable (but small in size) segments of a big bank's client base, and serve those people better".

"Obvious path" riiiight.

In addition, this is wrong to having been said to be new, such attempts have been made before and even stronger in results and generality. For example this (relatively dumb) approach from 2013 generalized kinda well, much better than I've seen a silly even deep network generalize: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom7/mario/

So yes, they are overselling it a lot. I am 100% not impressed by this paper as it lacks critical detail.

Have you looked an a modern linux DE in the past 5 years? It's within subjective opinion as to which looks better. And a lot of time that opinion is "what the user has used before". And Windows is far from a smooth experience given how disrupted the Windows 10 UI changes were in Enterprise and Educational environments
The real criticism is that they take out the repayers and leave the govt with the defaulters aka privatize the profits and socialize the losses. it will eventually undermine the student loan program.
You might want to look into the history of net-tools and iproute2. `net-tools` was a big UNIX thing. That is the reason FreeBSD still uses it.

Since 2001 (!) `net-tools` hasn't been developed (!= supported) in linux. That's a heck of long time.

It isn't just about the about correcting the ioctl call, it is about re-engineering the complete suite of networking commands in net-tools. The iproute2 suite doesn't get stuff from /proc and ioctl calls, but rather does through netlink (because ioctl calls were being (ab)used a lot). So it is more performant.

It might seem absurd to optimize for performance, but its really not because its usage in scripts warrants it (especially because `iproute2` does a lot, lot more than what `net-tools` does)
> If another company exists that will happily give me a hassle-free, unsecured loan for $50,000 at 5-6% interest,

If there aren't any, that should tell you something. Their business is not likely sustainable. Good for you if you got those terms, and there aren't any hidden surprises, but that rate with no security seems well below what prudent lending demands.
All I say is Mozilla granting $50.000 on the premise of a project being free software is a lot of money given to a commercial product.
Don't forget that "parser" also includes human brains, which tend to not be that great at parsing nested things.

To use formal language theory, strings containing escape characters are regular, i.e. parseable with a finite-state machine. Allowing nesting means you need a stack to find the matching pair.

It is, in fact, one of the most depressing books that I've ever read. The others are also by McCarthy. I mean, some of the stuff in Burroughs or Abercrombie or Morgan could be worse. But their tone is far more humorous than McCarthy's. Or maybe his humor is just too black. The humor of battlefields and slaughterhouses, as Abercrombie puts it. And he's just joking about it.
This is a good point. But to be super pedantic, there isn't a size of infinity large enough to describe how many sizes of infinity there are.
Just because something becomes cheaper doesn't mean someone isn't profiting. Unless the government owns the production and historically that doesn't work out so well. We live in a capitalist society. For thousands of years there has been a chief, king, family, and now corporate entity profiting off another group. Humans are not even close in our lifetimes.
