I think I tend to agree (and actually, the author does, as well), the interesting question is whether we've been underestimating the number of artificial "neurons" we'll need. If each biological neuron is actually essentially implementing an entire neural net internally, then we might be a lot further from achieving that amount of computation than we expected.

We absolutely need to start doing what you're suggesting, and figuring out how to derive useful basic structures, represent them, and construct networks using those as the building blocks. My prediction is that's where the field will go over the next 5-10 years, a much deeper dive into how to specify connectivity and usefully control it than has been done so far (we're still using fully connected layers, for the most part, which we know is not a scalable approach as we go from thousands to millions of nodes).

I have to agree that my gut feeling is that the judge is on the take here. But there's no really hard evidence for that in the article, and I really hope not in reality, because otherwise just reshuffling the judge around to kids' cases is a complete travesty.

In any case, unfortunately all that's important for my #4 is that the judge be predisposed towards professional guardians, for whatever reason.

Thanks for verifying this. I'll add that I get notifications for my wife's packages so it's likely only based on last name.

This also means in the case you move and the next resident has the same last name as you, you'll get their package notifications (and can redirect their packages). Presumably the next resident would have to call UPS support to figure this out, but the danger is it would not be obvious someone else has control until they use it, or you attempt to sign up yourself.
OK sure, but it assumes that young student would be able to discriminate a money-making investment from a money-losing one-- something the best VC's in the business, who vet tech deals all day every day, struggle to do.

Imagine you repeal all accredited investment regs overnight. Which of these seems likely:

- everyone in america invests $1000 in a future facebook, ten years later we're a nation of millionaires.

- 10% of the middle class (a huge number of people) wholly or partially cashes out retirement funds to put too much money into speculative early stage startups chasing fantastic returns. They lose it. Kids lose college funds, adults lose retirement funds, and we / society / government has to pick up the tab when such people get too old to work.

The point is, it's easy to attack these regulations as a barrier to opportunity and an unfair impediment to your right to do whatever you want with your own money. That's fair as far as it goes, but you also have to grapple with the real consequences of changing the policy. I have a hard time with your analysis that accredited investment rules have no "public good."

Phrased differently,the view on the ground in middle America is this: lots of middle-class people buy lottery tickets. Why do you suppose they do that?
Speaking of atoms, indeed, as far as the ancient philosophy was concerned, atomism was a rather abstract idea. But the discoveries that confirmed the existence of atoms had been directly stimulated by the chemical research, and further advances in chemistry as well as the industry and medicine critically depended on it. (The atomic bomb, on the other hand, required the discovery of the atomic nucleus - which is a completely different object of study, and nothing about it was "abstract", either.)

Docker's requirement for Hyper-V makes it a total nonstarter on Windows for me (enabling Hyper-V totally precludes you using Virtualbox/VMWare without rebooting). I am sure there are workarounds to just install the tools and have it manage a boot2docker instance in Virtualbox like it did prior to the Hyper-V adoption but that just increases the friction.

It's a counter to the idea that old people would be great mentors to the younger generation. If a bunch of them are racist old farts, then they won't exactly be good mentors.

As an aside, I've been seeing a lot of people use the term "racist" as a phrase for those who prefer certain cultural values. There is a difference between race and culture.

Contact people from your network and tell them exactly what you are looking to do.

If you really do have friends from the industry who honestly and truly believe in you and want to see you do better it is a great place to start.

Also, marketing yourself as a generalist/entrepreneur is a bit of a red flag. Chief "Big Idea Guy" is a tough title to get from the outside and without some serious bona fides.

I'd suggest taking a little time to really think about what your industry needs to grow in the next few years and map out a VERY specific strategy.

Then find a company who could benefit from that knowledge. It will at least give you more to talk about when you sit down for an interview.

If you can't be a specialist in practice be one in strategy.

Good luck.
In my opinion, yes.

If you're ever interested in taking another look you might consider Docker for Mac. There should be no need to use boot2docker anymore. Docker for Mac is the official, recommended solution, and uses HyperKit for lightweight virtualisation and in my experience is a lot faster than using Vagrant with something like VirtualBox.
You know I briefly wondered as I was writing whether it was Swedish or Swiss but then I was like, “aren’t all the bad banks from Switzerland, aren’t they also just famous for their banks?”.

Thanks for the correction or else I would have been misstating this fact for years, probably in less friendly forums than HackerNews too.
You could do this with Bitcoin too. You would just send Bitcoin to an address, with an OP_RETURN with the coordinates and a hash of the pixel values you put there. Only the first one would "win". The Ethereum contract does have the feature that you effectively get your money back if you're not first - a transaction that tries to take already-taken pixels is invalid. You could implement this today on Bitcoin with HTLCs and zk-SNARKs, but there might be a simpler solution that I'm not immediately thinking of.

An insanely complex and thorny issue, maybe.

I would argue that once preserving life is negotiable, a debate on the utility of the elderly and infirmed soon follows. Ruthless bureaucratic directives will simply roll off the tongue like, "maybe your mother should just take a pain pill", if you recall that ol' chestnut from prez. Obama.

So, if you want to institutionalize murdering inconvenient people, go ahead and make your case. I'll oppose such self-hating foolishness. If you do get your way, don't be surprised when you're powerless and some bean counter unceremoniously pulls your plug before you're ready to go, just to free up a bed.
Just an ancillary comment but Yahoo has a whole bunch of password requirements. So much so that my passwords don't cut it and I can never remember my password.

I run my coding camp to teach adults how to code. Although not entirely similar to the Socratic method, we focus on asking questions to teach because it is the most effective and it scales incredibly well (so far).

Here's a glimpse of how our teaching system works, hope it helps someone:
1. Each lesson starts with a maximum of 5 definitions and concepts: (What is a function, how to pass parameters into a function, how to add, etc.) It takes about 10 minutes to go over these.
2. The rest of the lesson would be going one example after another (recursion, callbacks, etc.)
3. When the lesson is done (having worked through some examples together), the student will get more practice problems as well as notes for the lesson (the definition and concepts and examples we went over)
4. The student is now responsible for teaching that lesson for all incoming students.

In our lessons, all interactions are 1-1. Teaching by asking questions scales really well in 1-1 interactions. This quickly disintegrates in a group setting though, because everyone draws different analogies and has a different pace of understanding.

On weekends, our students pair up with engineers to teach engineers what they learned and also get insight on how engineers ask questions: http://bootcamp.garagescript.com/
This is untrue; see section 6.3.1.3:

When a value with integer type is converted to another integer type ... [if] the new type is signed and the value cannot be represented in it; either the result is implementation-defined or an implementation-defined signal is raised.

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/WG14/www/docs/n1570.pdf

So casts from unsigned to signed must have a well-defined result, but the implementation can choose how to define it. You could in theory have an implementation that defines that casts from unsigned to signed are always positive,[1] but since that's not how GCC and every other mainstream (existing?) compiler defines it, they are not allowed to assume the result of a cast from an arbitrary unsigned integer to a signed integer of equal width is positive.

[1] In which case the compiler would be allowed to assume that unsigned-to-signed casts are never negative. This assumption would however be both safe and correct, and would have nothing to do with UB.
Hmm. A supercap combined with a diode on 5V and a line to a GPIO from Vcc to provide enough time for the OS to shut down... like this

(RPi GPIO) <-----------(resistor to 3v3)-|
(RPi microUSB in) <-------------(diode <-)------+---- Vcc
| Supercap
(RPi GND) ----------------------------------- GND

When the supercap is huge enough (or, for what its worth, use a powerbank with passthrough capability!), this should work - when the GPIO goes low, the system can initiate a safe shutdown, and especially it can signal a "shutdown" signal to the microSD.
what about "caguer" ? it sounds even closer
Thanks, I appreciate that!!
Yes, this is correct; we returned 5x the value to our investors. Apologies for the inelegant wording.

"Overall, the chance that a man will develop lung cancer in his lifetime is about 1 in 14; for a woman, the risk is about 1 in 17. These numbers include both smokers and non-smokers. For smokers the risk is much higher, while for non-smokers the risk is lower."

What we really need is some hardcore trustbusting. The Media companies must be split off from advertisers, which must be split off from ISPs, which must be split off from the software companies, which must be split off from the hardware vendors.

Unless something changes, there is so much vertical integration and so many conflicts of interest at play that the Internet will soon become Cable TV 2.0. A walled garden, proprietary, pay to play network where the only innovation that takes place is in new ways to separate the subscribers from their money.

Investors won't like it, but they can eat shit. An economy which only serves large mega-corporations is an unhealthy one. If the masses get nothing out of it, they will eventually bring the whole thing to a screeching halt.

Good point - maybe what I'm looking for is the middle ground, to the extent that it's possible. I'd enjoy the stability of a slightly larger company, without the slowness and bureaucracy of a large one.

If your private key is compromised, then notifying the businesses/government would work as before. Getting a new public certificate would involve going to the government/business in person to get a new one.

If people have to go through a lot of trouble, I suspect they would quickly learn a way to minimize the risk of having to do so. I suspect that most people are careful with their passports so that they don't lose them, because it is a bit of a hassle to get a replacement.
the corollary to this question is more interesting - when you split the person, do you split the brain? the answer is not necessarily. for example, you may split the person horizontally or even at a knee or elbow joint. it might surprise you to know that even if you split them on the head, it does not follow that the brain will be split. this ability of science to turn a question on its head and throw out insightful conclusions surprises me almost daily.

Helpful feedback on it being a red flag - I think that skillset has worked for me in the two capacities I've used it in; first, being a utility player for an early-stage company and second, as an entrepreneur. How that fits into something that isn't either of those two poles is a challenge.

Good advice though, thank you for the thoughtful response.

His mother changed their family name when he was a child. He was "outed" during his first election campaign, but this did him no appreciable harm, and the media made a bigger deal of his father having apparently been a low-level Yakuza gangster.

Also, it's difficult to disentangle "extremely hesitant to speak" and "genuinely unaware/doesn't care": as far as I can tell, for most Japanese, the issue is an irrelevant historical relic. Living in Tokyo for years, the only reference I ever heard or saw a single piece of train station graffiti proclaiming that a certain train station was an etamura (derogatory term for buraku village). As noted, around Osaka it's a bigger thing, but the days of employers or prospective inlaws routinely engaging detective agencies to root out any trace of buraku origin seem to be long past. (Although doubtless you could still do this if you really wanted to.)

Finally, it's indeed a political issue, and often in unsavoury ways: the article you link to goes into some detail about how the Buraku Liberation League, which has... non-mainstream views on how many buraku there are and how badly they're persecuted, has Yakuza ties and earns considerable profits from government assistance projects.

Oh man, I could have sworn I saw commands like in (2) a while back but then just could not find them again the other day when I went looking, so I thought I'd imagined it. Great news. So the workflow there is to add the new file or directory, then link the hash you get back inside the collection you want to modify with the `object patch add-link` business? Not exactly ideal for direct use, but simple enough to be abstracted away in a not-insane script, looks like. Nice.

On (3), cool, I'd checked out a bit on following IPFS while waiting for private networks and filesystem-store to leave experimental status (here's where you tell me that's happened, too!) so I must have missed that. Good to know.

(4) was mostly my explaining why just having all the files individually in IPFS is really, really useless if you need to apply any tools to them that expect to operate on one or a small number of (possibly structured) directories, which describes an awful lot of tools that operate on large numbers of files, but that's moot given collection-modifying commands are available.

Thanks for the response.
