Have you seen Metacademy? Here is a "tech-tree" for recurrent neural networks [0]. In the top-left corner you can switch between "graph" and "list" mode. Unfortunately, site hasn't been updated for some time. However, they have open sourced their code and I was thinking maybe we (volunteers) could pick up where they left off and continue this initiative. Previous discussion [2].

Edit: added previous discussion to the list.

Never underestimate how incompetent people can be. When I was waiting for my South African Visa application to go through, I had to check the status at a scammy-looking url. The form would reload if you pressed enter and pressing tab after the ID field would set the focus to the logo above it instead to the password field below.
I agree. Which is why I can under no circumstance support Urbit, but would be happy to see a parallel project without the toxic founder. I hope most people feel their hearts constrict when they read up about what Curtis and his ilk believe[1] and don't immediately reach for the "PC culture" bugbear with comments like mine. To me, it's clear that zero dollars should be going towards the sustenance of such ideas.

I'm curious: What's the advantage of ditching Hindley-Milner?
I've played with AWS Rekognition a little bit. It's definitely WAY faster to do it on-device. Plus it works even in Airplane mode.

I'm running the iOS11 Vision stuff, my own text recognition CoreML neural network (81 times per loop), plus all the ARKit stuff and I can still get 30-60 fps on my iPhone 7+

The way this worked out was that Google spent $12.5B, but they got:

Cash: $3B

Tax Credits: $1B

Sale of Motorola Home: $2.4B

Sale of Motorola Mobility: $2.9B

---------------------------------

Total: $9.3B

So Google ended up paying about $3.2B for Motorola's patent portfolio, which was valued at $5.5B.

What is the severity of this? Can the ME be patched or will we see half of all current computers owned by a botnet? (or mining ether) Can the ME bypass a firewall by interfacing directly with the NIC?
I guess "senior" may be a poor choice of words here. The users I am speaking of are not just from outside of the generation that has grown up with computers in the home, but are not of the technical crowd. Suffice to say none of the people I provide support to are the sort to browse HN!
The Alto didn't get any faster, and there was not a lot of superfast microcode RAM (if we'd had more it would have made a huge difference). In the beginning we just got Smalltalk-72 going in the NOVA emulator. Then we used the microcode for a variety of real-time graphics and music (2.5 D halftone animation, and several kinds of polytimbral timbre synthesis including 2 keyboards and pedal organ). These were separate demos because both wouldn't fit in the microcode. Then Dan did "Bitblt" in microcode which was a universal screen painting primitive (the ancestor of all others). Then we finally did the byte-code emulator for Smalltalk-76. The last two fit in microcode, but the music and the 2.5 D real-time graphics didn't.

The Notetaker Smalltalk (-78) was a kind of sweet spot in that it was completely in Smalltalk except for 6K bytes of machine code. This was the one we brought to life for the Ted Nelson tribute.
They're not random networks though. Sometimes I do use the station wifi (so it's in my network list), but that's if I'm parked there for 15 minutes waiting for a train and want to stream a YouTube channel or download a podcast. Just not when I'm on the train passing it.
This is a website a coworker of mine made. He wanted an easy way to price match on specific features of cameras and lenses (and has since added Single Board Computers).

The problem with other sites is that it's just mass scrapped/curated from other sources. Camera Panda has curated specific feature sets as well as price matches between different retailers.

Feedback welcome here and I'll forward it on to him!
Oh god mods, please add the word "magic" to the title, it's painful to read.
Doesn't airplane mode disconnect the cellular radio?
Thanks. I'll ask her about the icons issue. But she uses an Android phone, so enigmatic icons aren't unusual for her.

She does have that habit about writing each step, though. It frustrates me when I'm showing her how to do stuff. But it's not a new thing for her.
What’s the reasoning behind connecting WiFi / Bluetooth at 5AM?
It's also important to distinguish modern Haskell from what's specified in the Haskell standards. Modern Haskell is basically 100% dependent on GHC's language extensions [1], and as soon as you factor these in the language is vastly more complex than OCaml.

45€ doesn't sound like much. For a complete apartment cleanup, including bed linen and etc, you need at least three or four hours, so that's around 11-15€/hour. Seems quite reasonable for Austria.
Do you know any alternatives? Because last time I looked, every booking site I could find was also owned by the same company that owns Booking.com, other than Expedia, which is also a terrible site that uses dark patterns and other scamminess.

> If you want the old behavior, it's still there in settings, where the on-off toggle will turn off the radio itself.

Could a setting to revert the behavior not have been provided? Instead of forcing an entirely new behavior on existing users? Now I'm trying to figure out how to ensure my phone doesn't auto update to 11.
I didn't know about that setting, thanks for the tip. Will definitely come in handy.
I suggest you read the entire comment before replying.
Would it be fair to say that US libertarians are anarcho-capitalists while the leftist libertarians are anarcho-syndicalists?
Ahh thank you.
Why isn’t there a private key to view the transaction in the ledger? Seems like this way the transaction could be private except if parties wish to release?

Similarly, would it make sense to have to mine the ledger or transactions? Similar to gas, depending on how secure you want you could adjust the complexity/duration to mine. Perhaps involved parties could mine at a great discount given their transaction to seed the mining where a 3rd party could take months or more.

These thoughts have been bouncing around in my head for a while. Thought I’d pass along for whatever they’re worth.
I suspect the answer is no in theory and yes in practice.

If any image is legal as the final picture, I can construct a picture which changes suddenly at the intersection of puzzle pieces. That would be a terrible puzzle in practice, though. You would have to carefully consult the box to see if you had put it together or not. So I suspect for any real jigsaw puzzle, the answer is yes.
RR 327: Hack Your Workday to Maximize Learning with Allison McMillan
Can you clarify what do you mean by they don't compose at all? It feels like you've had some tough experiences with monads (monad transformers), and I agree, they are hard to get into.
For those interested in more details, avsa (@avsa, Alex Van de Sande, Ethereum UX guy) broke down a list of the Metropolis (Byzantium) changes a few days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/702t95/eli5_byzan...

You can read the release notes here btw that point to the EIP and Github issues for "Precomipled contracts for modular exponetiation; elliptic curve addition, scalar multiplication and pairing" here: https://blog.ethereum.org/2017/09/14/geth-1-7-megara/

AFAIK there were only 4 precompiled contracts (ECDSARECOVER, SHA256, RIPEMD, and IDENTITY) so this is sort of a big deal, but I think the right way to go (being able to natively support zkSNARKs, or RingCT/RuffCT directly on ETH would be incredibly powerful.

The practical implications for this particular change is being able to run private tokens directly on Ethereum (vs globally visible transactions), although AFAIK the initial zkSNARKs implementation is not currently compatible w/ ERC20 tokens ATM.
Very true, the paper calls out that there are no formal privacy guarantees on this style of learning. The diffs that are sent ostensibly provide more privacy than just the raw data, but it's hard to quantify how much "more" privacy that really is, and where it applies/doesn't apply. I do applaud the step in the right direction, however.
I was targeted this evening by a hacker who ported my phone number, and then got into FB + Yahoo (SMS reset).

The motive appears to be bitcoin, based on the people contacted via facebook.

Is it possible the initial PIN that was sent by Tmobile was intercepted via SS7? I am trying to find out if my phone (android) is compromised as well.

The accounts and phone number are back under my control but I want to find out the vector as soon as possible -I don't trust tmobile to honor requests not to allow porting.
Is it just me or does this sound like the typical big company coming out of the woodwork to sue to sabotage someone else's IPO. Isn't it just jump the shark moment for Google?

I find HN sentiment too favorable to Google these days, compared to Yahoo's lawsuit against FB at their IPO time. I think this theory should at least be considered.
>And they want management systems

The funny thing is that they actually don't. Never heard of system administrator who prefers to use intel ME. Some people told me that there are better tools to manage computers in the datacenter for example and ime just not worth it.

This is just an anecdata, but if anyone has any stories of using Intel AMT on a large scale (or actually on any scale even), i would really love to hear them.
Sidenote: Some cars still use composite interfaces, because with a reasonable comb filter it doesn't look too bad, and it only takes one wire and ground.
Yes, the SICP follows "simulate data" ideas much further back in the past, including the B5000 computer, and especially the OOP systems I did. But the big realization is that there are very few things that are helpful when they are passive, and the non-passive parts are the unique gift of computing. The question is not whether ideas from the past can be simulated (easy to see they can be if the building blocks are whole computers) but what do we "mean by 'meaning' "?

Good answers to this are out of the scope of HN, but we should be able to imagine -processes- moving forward in both our time and in simulated time that can answer our questions in a consistent way, and can be set to accomplish goals in a reasonable way.
In reading your other replies, I kind of get what you're saying. Though, I'm not sure their icons are worse than any others? Whenever I find an icon that makes no sense, I click on it and find out what it does. Well, sometimes hovering over it will work.

That might be it, actually. I first touched a computer in the early 1970s. I'm not worried about breaking things, so I'll click buttons and see what they do.

I'm not sure that Google is worse than any other offender, though. Again, it is probably subjective.

If I had one complaint, it would be that I'm partially colorblind and this makes it difficult to differentiate certain things. Google isn't the worst offender but I guess that's a complaint that I have. I'm not sure if that is UI or UX?

I do wish they had a high-contrast option. I could probably make something but I just work around it.

Either way, thanks. This has been very informative.
> It doesn't bother the government when the middle class spend its hard earned money in gambling

Isn't gambling heavily regulated in the US to the point of being barely legal in many states? Isn't that basically how many Indian tribes make money - by being outside this regulation?
It might have improved understanding of some historical tidbits at the cost of distracting from today's story. Corporate blogs are still PR venues first and foremost, aimed at investors and the media.

Investors already know how the moto deal turned out (or are willing to look into it themselves to check the numbers). The media needs soundbites.
It's a blog post from google.com, expect it to be biased.
This trust is a result of intentional training towards enabling everyone down to private to know when to make a decision and when to bother chain of command. It's not only training of management, it's more like a culture.

I guess this post in part has some traction with hn because mission command seems like a wonderful management technique. Just let the people who knows best and have first hand information make efficient decisions, fast, right? But it actually takes good people and a lot of training to work in practice. On every level there has to be a "feeling" of what's reasonable. And management, in turn, must learn when to step back, and maybe more importantly not punish afterwards when equipped with hindsight.

Why not use TripAdvisor? Not owned by Priceline or Expedia (yet!), nowhere as manipulative as Priceline, and you can actually compare between Priceline and Expedia offerings on the same page. The reviews are much better, rating system is not complicated/hidden and you can sort of ranking/reviews and much better UI with the new redesign.

It's a fair request, but there are so many areas of the OS that have small decisions like this, if there were a setting for all of them... Settings.app is already a little burdened under its own weight (though the search bar has helped a bit).

The set-up process for a new iPhone is also reaching crazy levels, with so many decisions for new users to make.

Don't really know what the solution to this is to be honest -- Linux-style config files maybe? :P
It really is, why even bother sending them? Even if the directive was to break contact when fired on, you can't safely do that without firing back! It's just absurd, and unnecessarily dangerous for the soldiers on the ground.
Not quite. In order to lower the torque on a stepper motor you need to have the logic controlling the motor control the torque for every single step the motor takes and that can switch from low to high between two steps. You can ward against this either with continuously checking logic or the torque limiters Animats mentioned: https://www.mayr.com/en/products/torque-limiters

If the inception drive is set to low torque a second motor needs to actively set it to a higher torque, which you can guard against by cutting power to the second one while in low torque mode, and having mechanical interlocks that cut power entirely if the shape of the drive changes to a high torque configuration while it's supposed to be low torque. Neither of these require continuous logic.
Wait, Uber aided and abetted theft. IP theft, but not software, this is hardware, classic, very little disagreement, IP theft. Why shouldn't Google ask society to impose a high cost on such behavior. Seems to me, if anyone believes anything about the patent system in it's classic form makes sense, then they should support a high cost to IP theft.
Xenophobia could be part of it, but there’s probably an element of disdain (possibly deserved) for people who just chase Michelin restaurants but don’t have the palate necessary to really appreciate the food.

An exaggerated analogy: someone who’s never had wine buys a bottle recommended by a highly respected wine expert, tries it, and goes, “Oh, that really is good!”
IP... Imaginary Property.

"Theft" is not a technical jargon. It's an emotionally charged phrase to trigger public opinion in favor of patent monopolists.

Also, didn't the judge throw out the patent case and the dispute is merely trade secrets now?
I think another person mentioned a possible solution in a different thread. Just tell it to not auto-join those specific networks. It's not necessarily ideal, but it should work.

I believe they gave you directions on how to do it, in the other thread about the exploits. I'm not really spying, I just happened to just finish reading that thread and noticed the train similarities.

That should solve it for you. I'd find that behavior maddening. Fortunately, that's not a likely problem for me.

Do you then have substantive evidence that market forces/centralized management caused this?
On your first point, that doesn't seem like an idea unique to the Far Right at all. Plenty of Left Wing friends of mine don't think Capitalism works within a Democracy (though I'm sure for different reasons than Thiel).

On your second, I think the virtue of Multiculturalism is at least worth debating. If he calls it "evil" that's not something I'd agree with, but that would align with a lot of Far Right thought.

As for Coulter, she's just as much of a race baiter as any of the others on the Left that seem to attribute any problem they see to some race-based variable. I don't know of any instance where Theil has actively promoted her or her ideas but I'm ready to be proven wrong.

Not sure what to make of that last paragraph. My guess is you're taking issue with "Libertarian" and implying that Thiel is in fact not one, and is using it to appeal to nominal "actual" Libertarians by hyjacking the word. This is of course quite possible.
Being a little disillusioned about the world these days I would assume this has a purpose.

My guess is this: Booking.com already knows that they are fighting a losing battle against AirBnB. So instead of trying to win it seriously, they go to make the biggest profit they can out of their situation by strongly focussing on the idiots. With idiots you have two advantages:

(a) they stay anyways no matter how shitty you treat them. They have different reasons but one of them is that they are simply used to your service and don't want to learn a new one.

(b) they believe at least some of the stuff you put on these websites.

(c) in exchange for not feeling like a total loser for a moment they are willing to pay more.

For an observant booker this website is really less and less useful. For once you can try the alternative and get a much better experience, and on the other you can often just book a room on-site after you arrive. When Booking.com just hands out a reserveration without prepayment don't think the hotel wouldn't give your room to someone else if enough customers arrive at their desk first. Money now is better than (maybe) money later. The only exception may be when you go to the big fair of your industry and the whole town is booked out.

We should get "Fast Company" to interview you -- you'd do a better job! (Actually I think I did do a better job than their editing wound up with.)

Your comments and criticism of the NSF are dead-on (and is the reason I gave up on NSF a few years ago -- and I was on several of the Advisory Committees and could not convince the Foundation to be tougher about its funding autonomy -- very trick for them admittedly because of the way it is organized and threaded through both Congress and OMB).

One way to look at it is there is a sense of desperation that has grown larger and larger, and which manifests both in the powerless and the powered.
I've spent the last 15 minutes reading everything I can find about the subject, and honestly nothing seems very inflammatory. Have you read this?

https://medium.com/@curtis.yarvin/why-you-should-come-to-lam...

He seems like a reasonable, intelligent person, and people have gone out of their way to mischaracterize what he did say and to label him a racist.

He was also writing under a pen name, and -- believe it or not -- roleplaying is common recreation. Just because Moldbug believed something doesn't mean Chris believed those things.

All in all, I think this is just another example of the insular tribalism present in all of Silicon Valley. It's ironic that the place that prides itself on being the most tolerant and the most progressive is in fact so victorian and reductionist that their ideas can't withstand a simple debate.

Easier to label and shun, eh? I'm not a fan.

It's somewhat ridiculous that I have to add a disclaimer that I don't share any of their ideology, even in secret. I'm proud of my beliefs, and this has nothing to do with the politics at play. If you're going to be inclusive, then be inclusive. To shun someone so intelligent and to reduce their entire body of work to a few glib sentences isn't a productive strategy.

From my perspective, it seems strange that anyone could read that Medium post and come away hating Chris. He's clearly here to talk tech, not politics. So what's the problem?

When you join a Twitter mob and serve as a sort of informal government — by deciding, for instance, who can speak at a conference — you’re feeding your inner chimpanzee. It feels good. Your conscience may be convinced that it’s spiritually the right thing to do. But your limbic system is just plain high. Twitter is a drug cartel. The drug is power. Or at least, apparent power.

Hear, hear. When you seek to suppress an idea, people like me get curious. Why are you so worried that Chris is the founder? It makes me want to dig in to their beliefs and decide for myself.

Don't you see? Speaking out like this actively helps the very side you're trying to defeat. They come off looking reasonable, whereas your argument boils down to "He's toxic because reasons."

One of the most persuasive things you could do in this situation would be to post a quote written by Chris. Posting a quote from Moldbug would be the second most persuasive thing. Failing either of those, are we supposed to just take your word for it that the dude should be excluded from society?

This whole "label and exclude" thing is for the birds. Why not judge ideas instead of people?
I think the number of changes should have to do with the overall time. Just drawing concentric circles from a location is very mileading.

Just as an additional data point in Tokyo you can guarantee the time it takes to change platforms as the distance is measured, I’m not sure anyone has the walking distance between the Victoria and Central lines at Oxford Street (etc.).

Also a decent portion of that address space is also reserved by an individual who doesn't believe that humans are equal. I think he just wants to be king of his own universe. The technology of Urbit is neat, but I find the politics abhorrent.
