What the long-term effects will be: China's ruling class further cement their power at the cost of China's innovation and future growth. Interesting and useful things are made when people able share and consume information. e.g. Jack Ma's US visit exposed him to Yahoo. Ma Huateng was clearly inspired by his exposure to ICQ. The list goes on. The same thing happens in the West but it happens a lot more often since there are a lot more opportunities to share ideas with much fewer restrictions.

The end result is that China's fate as being relegated to being the world's giant copy machine is sealed unless things revert

The people who will get ahead in China in the future are the ones who are somehow able to live outside of China to experience new ideas. This is already true, but its importance will grow as China's censorship grows.

The more China closes up, the less Western companies have to fear about future tech dominance or crazy innovation from China in the long run

To be fair, things may even out since Western governments seem to be doing all they can to copy China's censorship and gov control. SOPA, PIPA, SESTA, and the Digital Economy Bill come to mind. I'm sure others can add more to the list.

> It's important for Westerners to realize that the Chinese never had a Locke, or a Rousseau, or a Hobbes.

Neither did South America but they were inspired by all of them when they formed their modern republics after the various revolutions, after kicking out the Spanish rulers in the 1800s the military generals had a choice to form democracies and they sought inspiration from Europe, just as America did a century earlier...

Almost every European country had a legacy of monarchy, Japan with their Empire, etc. There's a long history of centralized control in every culture. Why is China unique?

The problem is China went the authoritarian route, the party defines the culture, it's not a natural phenomenon of the people. It won't matter if there is a shift towards liberalism when people don't have a choice.

Not to mention Hong Kong and Taiwan aren't far from China's core culture yet they respect liberalism. Chiang-kai Shek could easily have won the war against Mao and it's entirely possible their culture would look a lot more like South Korea or Japan and less "Chinese".

People downplay the complete and total effectiveness of government controlled media and propaganda campaigns. This idea that Chinese culture is just different from the 'west' is exactly what is forced down the Chinese people's throats, it's the party line - not an original concept. The "chinese way" is what they constantly use to justify their repressive actions. While any time anything bad happens in the West they promote those acts widely in the media as examples of the flaws of the western worldview, while thoroughly suppressing their own flaws... so I'm highly suspicious when I hear this excuse.

I have a similar thing: There's this Javascript community called WeAllJS, which according to their website: "We’re committed to being supportive, attentive, and inclusive." I know about this because one of their admins (per their Twitter profile) posted an obviously offensive Tweet about men, and has "professional mantagonizer" in their Twitter bio, alongside "Admin for @wealljs". They also work at NPM.

Most interestingly, their Code of Conduct has:
'Any attempt to present “reverse-ism” versions of the above as violations. Examples of reverse-isms are “reverse racism”, “reverse sexism”, “heterophobia”, and “cisphobia”. I think this means that heterophobia and cisphobia are not only explicitly not against the rules, but it's in fact a violation to claim that they are against the rules. Fascinating stuff.

Okay, I didn't read the post in full first. The person I'm referring to is the one who made the "reddit manbabies" comment quoted.

Also, the wealljs code of conduct has the exact same "regardless of age..." line from the NPM code of conduct, in a slightly different order (but every element is identical). I wonder how much overlap there is between the leadership of each.

I would say WhatsApp could use domain fronting like Signal, but that technique requires the adversarial government or ISP to decide that blocking Google.com—or whatever large, important domain is doing the fronting—is worth the cost to block WhatsApp. But China definitely doesn't care about blocking Google!

Repeatable and scalable sound like ingredients for fast growth.

I think this reality has to be frankly talked about. If liberal tax policies are so destructive to business and innovation, why are the most successful counties often times (as shown in this map) run by more liberal / progressive / dare I say socialistic governments? People often criticize this line of inquiry and call it divisive or inappropriate or callous, but I cannot see how it is unrelated nonetheless.

Tax breaks, gender discriminative bathroom laws, climate protection deregulation, and "appeals to traditional values" do not seem to be improving the lives of these people very much.

That's easy. China has a lot of third-party stores, including stores of pirated apps. Some phones even come built-in with some of those stores.

Well, people have always manipulated how they look, through cosmetics, clothing, etc. This is just the latest technique.

It doesn't. Safari auto-detects when to offer Reader mode, and what's new in Safari 11 is you can then configure the website to automatically start in Reader (you can do this through Safari preferences, or by right-clicking on the URL bar).
You hit the nail on the head; for many straight information extraction problems, the universe of documents you want to extract could be too small to learn a model from -- or for that matter, for conventional methods of model evaluation to apply. (You want to extract data from all the items, not prove you reached a certain level of accuracy on a sub-sample of them)

One approach is

https://blog.openai.com/unsupervised-sentiment-neuron/

where you can throw in a great amount of unlabeled data and build an internal representation that models the data well enough that you can train something that works like an HMM or CRF with a tiny amount of labeled data.

Overheating bug would be so bad...
I was referring to Efros' "non-parametric sampling" paper, not the quilting one. Efros defined "non-parametric sampling" as another name for "Markov chain" -- almost (see my edit below). This paper (PixelNN) refers directly to "non-parametric sampling" in the same sense as Efros, and it states that they are using "nearest neighbor" to mean "non-parametric sampling". This is talking rather explicitly about a Markov chain -like process.

"To address these limitations, we appeal to a classic learning architecture that can naturally allow for multiple outputs and user-control: non-parametric models, or nearest-neighbors (NN). Though quite a classic approach [11, 15, 20, 24], it has largely been abandoned in recent history with the advent of deep architectures. Intuitively, NN works by requiring a large training set of pairs of (incomplete inputs, high-quality outputs), and works by simply matching the an incomplete query to the training set and returning the corresponding output. This trivially generalizes to multiple outputs through K-NN and allows for intuitive user control through on-the-fly modification of the training set..."

Note the first reference #11 is Efros' non-parametric sampling, and that the authors state this is the "classic approach" that they apply here.

What you call "interpolate every pixel independently from its surroundings" could be another way to describe a Markov chain, because 1: it is sampled according to the conditional probability distribution (which is what you get by using the K nearest matches.) and 2: the process is repeated - one pixel (or patch) is added using the best match, then it becomes part of the neighborhood in the search for the pixel/patch next door. The name for that is "Markov process", or in the discrete case, "Markov chain", if you take an unbiased random sample from the conditional distribution. If you always choose the best sample, then it's the same as a Markov chain, but biased.

> (neighbor means a close-by pixel in the training set in the feature space, not a spatially close pixel)

That's right, and that's why it's misleading to talk about nearest neighbor interpolation, because that phrase is a graphics phrase that means interpolate from spatially close pixels. Hardly anyone else calls it interpolation, they call it sampling, point sampling, and other terms.

*EDIT:

I'm going to relax a little bit on this. "Non-parametric sampling" is a tiny bit different from a Markov process in that a Markov process attempts to simulate a distribution in an unbiased way. By using the best match instead of a random sample from the conditional distribution, the output may produce a biased version of the original distribution. This is why it's called non-parametric sampling instead of calling it a Markov chain, but the distinction is pretty small and subtle -- texture synthesis using non parametric sampling is extremely similar to a Markov chain, but not necessarily exactly the same.

Side note, it's really unfortunate they used the abbreviation "NN" to talk about "nearest neighbor" in a paper that also builds on "neural networks".
(Belief in) cultural superiority as racism, then? OK.

I'd be (genuinely) curious to see what form Klingon-hating in the show could have taken that would have been similar in form but different enough that the writer'd not have labeled it white and Victorian.

Is "they have always attacked us before, so better to start shooting if you see them and skip the trying-to-talk-then-being-fired-on-anyway bits" necessarily white and Victorian?

[EDIT] and if it's not necessarily so, then what about the show's actual depiction was?

I've never typed Dijkstra in Vim, but if I had to, there are two reasonable options:

1. Wait a half-second after typing the "j". That causes the mapping to time out and you can type the "k" without a problem.

2. Type something like Dijj<del>kstra.

Having lots of duplicated ENV vars in CI, and consequently seeing builds fail again and again when they'd get out of sync is part of the frustration that inspired me to build EnvKey.

I don't think there should be special integration required to use it with any CI platform, including Jenkins... as long as there's a place to set environment variables, you just need to set a single ENVKEY there, and from that point, your CI server will stay automatically in sync.

I will look into the possibility of a KeePass import. Currently, you can import config as key-value pairs to speed up integration with an existing project, so if you can get your KeePass data into this format:

KEY1=val1
KEY2=val2

etc. you could already import and start using EnvKey without much fuss.
