Modding content to this degree is one thing I don't like about (modern) reddit. When the majority of posts start taking a low-information high-emotion form then I'll start worrying. But one off events don't necessarily lead to trends.

I agree. I like functional programming, but at some point, you're going to have some type of encapsulation, whether at the closure, module, actor, or network boundary. It's always important to think about what API you're exposing.

Create accessible tech that:

1. amplifies people's abilities to reasonably assess evidence on topics of significance, analogously to how literacy has amplified collective memory.

2. enables online collective environments that cultivate the capacity to use such amplified abilities in interaction between non-like-minded people, along with related attributes such as curiosity and humility.

You'd probably need to be some kind of genius to pull either of these off, though the type of genius required is probably not that of engineering.

It's what I'd do if I had the concrete ideas but, unfortunately lacking genius (of any type), I don't.

You can be biased as long as you're truthful. Sadly, you are not being truthful.

Catalan Parliament passed a law with more than 50% of the vote. In a Parliamentary democracy, Parliament is sovereign.

The law says that if YES wins, there will be a mandate for independence and negotiations will start with the central government.

If the result is NO the Catalan Parliament will dissolve the government and call for regional elections.

More than 80% of Catalans want a legally binding referendum, regardless of pro or against indy.
Depends how "old" the school of morality you're subscribing to is I guess and the strain of philosophy. Considering major Western Philosophies... New Testament circa 33AD not so much, pre-Enlightenment Catholic Church probably, Enlightenment era to pre-Marx, not so much, Marxist/Leninist and Progressive era of say 1900 and beyond then absolutely.
OTOH, we are merely at circa Year Five into deep reinforcement learning research.

Yeah. I think it's perfectly correct to still refer to it to "iMessage". While the client anyone is using is likely just called "Messages", it specifically uses what is referred to as "iMessage", among other possible ways (e.g. SMS, or Jabber on macOS).
Xilinx has being doing CPU+FPGA for longer than that. I did some C runtime enhancements for the PPC 440 included in the FX70 for a product made by a former employer (shadow stacks for better CFI, more locked down MMU use, etc).

you could (in theory) do the same thing anywhere but disabling denormals is the fastest (cpu count) way to create a big (relative displacement from linear) nonlinearity in the IEEE - and family fp representations.

Evolutionary methods to trap nonlinearities is already hard, I imagine it would be even harder to find functions which exploit even more subtle nonlinearities.
You use IPNS to give a static name and change the root hash of that name when you update content.
(I work at OpenAI.)

TensorFlow by default is built with denormals off (ftz=true), so denormals aren't relevant for the applications we're interested in. We have updated the post to indicate this — thanks for the feedback!

Firefox beta is very nice. My only (big) regret is that APIs that make Vimperator work are getting phased out. I can't live without Vimperator.
They should really not put windows on this. At least not in the first models. Sure, passengers would love to see outside, but really it makes the design much more complicated for little benefit.

It can be stressful not to have any idea of what is happening outside, but you can simply alleviate that with external cameras and screens on board.
The honest answer is that you can get the desired result with Postgres, even if it might require a custom foreign data wrapper implementation. Carpenters pick their favorite saws, and they like MySQL.

To be fair, uber did get burned by a Postgres replication failure- but they also had a NOC team promote 3 bad replicas to primary before stepping back to reconsider their approach. Carpenters do hate losing their fingers in circular saws.
Yea, I’m not sure why this was posted either. Russian bots aren’t the craziest proposition; they certainly don’t dislike Snowden’s PR.
It's super interesting to think that any non-linearity at all can make it work. This particular non-linearity is surprising since it's clamping to zero at the center of the response curve. I'd have thought that's right where you want the linear response, and that clamping in the middle would cause bad things to happen. Sigmoid and RelU (and others) clamp at the foot/shoulder. Perhaps this network just learns negative weights, compared to the traditional activation functions??
This is brilliance - epiphany for sure. I will try this.

All the folks out there working with arduinos and the like and having to diagram/proto the pins and their control, particular I2C might find this useful...which is what im going to try use it for.
It's needed because it depend on the census.

In Spain you don't have to register to vote every time. Just show up at the place you have to, based on the census.
This is addressed in the second paragraph of the post I cited.
I don't have a link handy. I have seen these stats a lot and discussion of the problem hits HN so often that it never fails to shock me that the statement gets questioned. Someday, I will learn to keep a link handy.

For now, I will just note that:

1) I have portable income and can potentially move anywhere in the US.

2) I was willing to move to almost anywhere in the continental US to get back into housing that I could afford that also would not be a threat to my health.

3) I have spent 2+ years searching for a town with either rents around $400 a month and/or houses for sale that were under ~$70k that also were actually fit for human habitation without first putting tens of thousands of dollars worth of work into them.

4) I have spent hours upon hours combing through real estate listings, auction sites that list distressed property etc.

5) I have looked at the details of super cheap properties in Detroit and other cities.

There were a bunch of houses in Detroit listed at $1 on one auction site. When you read the fine print, there is at least $500 worth of closing costs and the houses are horrifying uninhabitable shitholes.

I found a place I could go, but it was like the proverbial needle in a haystack. Most of those super cheap houses listed on the internet are absolutely not the sort of thing where someone could just move in and start paying a couple hundred a month for the mortgage. Many of them are being sold as tear downs. They have been through a fire or flood and are not currently fit for human habitation.

I also looked at houses in the middle of nowhere. I have looked at houses that explicitly say things like "No foundation. Will not qualify for financing. Cash only." I signed up for a rent to own website. The first property I inquired about got a reply that said, no, they don't actually do rent to own arrangements.

I have six years of college. I bought a house for no money down in my twenties. I was willing and able to go just about anywhere. I found it to be a very hard problem to solve.

So, I would really like to see your sources for these mythical affordable houses. Because I haven't purchased one yet, so I could potentially still go someplace else for some real steal of a deal.

My research suggests that, no, you aren't actually going to get a decent house anywhere in the US for $16k with conventional financing (not "cash buyers only" and/or "oh, yeah, it has this long list of serious problems"). That isn't real.
Piece-for-piece replication might not be the right level of abstraction. Blue Brain project is one unfortunate example, on the other hand the current neural nets are stuck with neural model from 1943.

So a minor correction here. We did explore placing ftz on various instructions inside the matmul ops, but it turns out you don't need anything more than what is already baked into tf by default. All tf gpu primitives are built with -nvcc_options=ftz=true. This means you have an implicit non-linearity after any non-matmul op (provided the scale of computation is near 1e-38). Matmul ops are called through cublas and have denormals enabled.
I did, didn't work, went back to Chrome.

It was faster and had a smaller memory footprint than I remember, which was great. It also started stuttering on my macs every ~5 seconds or so. The page would just lock up. Couldn't find a solution. The only hints were to disable graphics acceleration, but those were years old.

On my windows machines it crashed, and crashed hard. Single tab has an issue, the entire browser crashed. Lost work.

No thanks FF, I'll try again in another decade.
That is not representative of either the time frame or the resources available to Mozilla. Mozilla has had Hundreds of millions of annual income through their search associations [1]. It’s surprising how they’ve wasted that amount of money to finally in 2017 build a browser that can compete again. This is 9 years after google chrome was released!

They have absolutely no excuse for falling this far behind. They squandered a lot of money, while neglecting their core business (their web browser).

I still hope they’ll keep it up. I have been a Firefox fan ever since beta 1. Hopefully they can recover their market share loss.

Companies can't exist to serve their employees as a first priority - because companies exist to make a profit.

Even if the owners care more about their employees than about profit, that profit still has to come first. No profit... sooner or later, no company.

A car without an engine can still roll downhill. The US will continue to plummet into tyranny and corruption, like most democracies tend to UNLESS the information age results in an altered pattern and misinformation is trumped (pun?) by education. The post modernist corruption of education has resulted in a bastardized anti-establishment movement that focuses on the least important causes. I have little hope for the future.
> Do not forget that webpages at their core are about information design.

I believe your are confusing web pages with graphic design. A graphic designer's job is based in information architecture. Webpages were originally designed for simple document sharing, however since '96 - we still have some simple documents, but we also have non-trivial games, and extremely complex applications that run businesses.

This open source project happens to be for the mid to latter, so it seems appropriate then that they actually demo some of the features of the library. Also, one could make the argument that a beautiful design can inspire another developer to make something beautiful. API's are often pretty dull. I find this design to be delightful.

BTW, you can always use shortcuts provided by your browser/OS. Tap in the header on mobile, press "Home" on Windoze, and Cmd+Up on Mac.
Good to see some real numbers - and amusing to read the write up of trying to contextualize those numbers into the NYT's accepted socially appropriate consensus.
"great" may be stretching it more than a little. They have indeed worked for a very long time (which is definitely great), but launching multiple firefoxes at once with different profiles is (has been? haven't tried for over a year) an absolute nightmare for anyone not launching it exclusively from the CLI with aliases. I actually made app wrappers just so I could click things instead of having a weird blend of "you can click that icon... but then you'll just get the default profile" + "CLI if you want [profile X]".
Do you have any further details on this? The tabs always looked weird to me but I don't know why.

It's not totally illogical; it presents real problems. Let's say you wanted to offload content filtering to an AI and have it get rid of sexually explicit or graphically violent images. In this case an AI-based filter that could be fooled by adversarial input much more easily than a human.

The next sentence in that linked article states the documents leaked were from Booz Allen. He didn't have any proof to leak until he took the job. Therefore "he took the job at [Booz Allen] specifically so he could figure out what they were doing wrong and leak it." That is a fact. We don't know when he became intent on trying to whistleblow and whether it was while he was with the CIA or Dell, but it was clearly before working at Booz Allen. He never worked directly at the NSA.
That's interesting. I find Firefox Nightly on Android to be extremely slow compared to Chrome.
Profiles: Every configuration change or extension has to be added in every profile to keep in sync manually across different Firefox instances.

Containers: Use the same configuration and extensions across different containers in one running Firefox instance.

Both retain configuration and extensions between traditional browser sessions (start/stop). Containers additionally "retain" configuration and extensions across contextual sessions/identities.

Of course they are, if you think you're going to lose a referendum you can try the "if No don't vote, that way we can delegitimise the result" card. That they do so doesn't invalidate the referendum any more than it would with any other anti-democratic leader or organisation that tried to prevent the populace being able to clearly and publicly vote.
Install an OS you haven't used before and learn more stuff?
It doesn't come with one either, it's for servers. You can install the ubuntu-desktop package (which is basically what you get off of the desktop install disk) afterwards, though. Not really clear if that will still be option on i386, that is do a net install and then install ubuntu-desktop. It sounds to me like they are just retiring the installer images for i386 and not the desktop related packages, so if you really need it then you can go this route. I bet it won't be well tested/supported though.
