Even if your imaginary 25% were true, sales people can't sell what the company doesn't have (a product). Or at least they shouldn't (sadly I've seen sales people sell thin air many times).

No corporation would ever give up their competitive advantage of being on the moon. Imagine a company that gains a competitive advantage and sits on it for 45 years.

If a company would sit on a capability for 45 years without expanding and improving it. The government does things like this, it doesn't have market pressures or complete focus. If a new politician of a popular party gets elected and decides to reallocate the funds, they can do that at the snap of their fingers.

The problem with the government is that they are managing the immediate needs of the electorate while balancing long term goals which are volatile. A healthy company is more narrow, more nimble, and more committed to a goal. A business is resource-time bound, a government not so much. A business must respond to the market/pressures much more so than a government. An unpopular business doesn't last long, whereas entire functions of government hold historic unpopularity, yet is free of anxiety. A great business caters to the individual in all of us, while the government caters to clashing interest groups.
That's really great! I've been rooting for the cooperative model to take off a bit more. Seems like a more humane and societally friendlier way of running things, especially if it helps ensure a more equitable distribution of wealth and power among the working ranks.

Ask HN: Tf-idf search index vs. brute-force Doc2vec and query comparison
If on one hand, we have a classic search index with ~tf-idf based scoring algorithm (a well configured elastic search, let's say). And on the other hand, we have a list of document vectors generated for every document, using some sort of modern, semantic-aware Doc2vec algorithm (a-la word2vec).
Now, if we completely omit the speed concern and for the second case will just iterate over every document and calculate a distance from it to a query vector and then pick N closest as a search result. Is it a common sense that these results will definitely be more relevant to a query than those, obtained from a regular search engine? Or will the improvement be just marginal or not better at all?
Can anyone point me to an existing experiment with some real numbers available?

Also, am I right that the second way should do things like matching "health insurance" to "employee benefits" and "SF taxi" to "California transportation" kind of out of the box, assuming that the "Doc2vec" is well trained and produces rather large vectors for every document (or let's even assume we only work with document titles and hence rely on "Sentence2vec").

I would be really grateful if someone could shade some light on this area of information retrieval for me. Thanks!
Even if there is, such a key would be much less safe (assuming the attacker knew the algorithm, which must be assumed, otherwise why keep the key in a safe?)

Many physics simulations include internal checks (that must be there regardless of ECC, for algorithmic reasons) that would catch virtually all such issues.

Hmm, like what? I've run many simulations too and had the opposite experience. It's hard to implement checks because your algorithm defines how the simulation should permute over time.

While a bit error could certainly crash the simulation, long running simulations can be resumed from checkpoints with minimal loss of time and the probability of a crash is still very low for most real workloads.

Not really. Your algorithm determines how the simulation plays out, so you can't really notice small errors until much later. By then it's hard to roll back to an earlier state unless you're saving 64GB snapshots.

> I don't often make exact predictions about the future; that's not an SF writer's job, and it's really easy to get egg on your face. Howver, here's a prediction:

> I'm making this a prediction, however, because the POTUS factor.

> July 2019 lies within the term in office of Donald Trump (or Mike Pence, depending whether impeachment/removal has happened first then). Trump is nothing if not an egomaniac, and offering him the opportunity to make a historic phone call to lunar orbit in front of the TV cameras is a guaranteed ego-stroke. Trump is of an age to have young-adult memories of Apollo and I can't see the idea not appealing to him if he can take credit for it.
If you can't separate a message from who you suspect the messenger might be there is little point in verifying claims either.

> Love or hate the Yamaha NS10, this unassuming little speaker has found a place in the studios of many of the world's top producers. We trace its history, and investigate why a monitor whose sound has been described as "horrible" became an industry standard.

I see people use this all the time as their main speaker? I usually ask why and if they say because it is a standard I stop talking music production. If they say they use them because they use it to hear the sound distorted then I am 100% in the conversation. These are used to hear what the "real world" crappy speaker system would sound like. Problem is EVERY speaker made the last 20 years is better than these speakers. The main response to why they use a NS-10 is "If it sounds good on NS10s then it'll sound good on anything."

I HATE HATE HATE the NS10 speaker. It was used because it was such a BAD speaker. In front of me I have Genelec speakers. They sound so good and clear. NS 10 sound like a brown paper bag with foam is covering the speaker and all low end and high end sounds were scooped out and I have my hands covering my ears!

> There is a commonly held belief (which I haven't researched and thus don't know if true or not) that they didn't make nearly as much of a ruckus when they were under British colonial rule

During the early years of colonization there was a ton of protests and fighting, but they were brutally suppressed by the British.

After getting rid of early activists and over 70+ years later, the quality of life improved so there were less and less complaints.

> (If you add in a racial dimension, where the Hong Kong people are Asians willing to submit to "whites" while fighting back against other Asians, adds to that disdain).

I definitely agree there is a major dose of postcolonial mentality going on among the middle-class Hongkongers.

After the rich elite either moved to the West or became chummy with China, the middle class basically moved into the second tier of the "racial hierarchy (whites & hapas > rich Hongkongers > everyone else)"

In my opinion, this seems to be more of a class struggle. I see a lot of blue collar Hongkongers being friends with Mainland Chinese. And I see a lot of intermarriage among them as well. Same as when I visited Taiwan.

I think just like British colonization took 70+ years, after China has held onto Hong Kong long enough, things will change.

Thanks @fijal and team for all the effort! This is awesome.

The last update on the Pypy+Pandas wiki[0] is from this August, and it mentions that there are still 15 outstanding failing tests. Does this release mean that 5.9 is now at 100% parity? What does the same metric look like for Pypy+Numpy, and where can that one be tracked if not 100% yet?

I am looking forward to migrating some pipelines over to 5.9 soon.

Which news sources do you consider to be sufficiently unbiased that you wouldn't need to make this caution?

Ah, alright, I'm sorry, I misread your point. By "everyone here" I meant HN, and if your point is "factually, most people don't care about privacy", that's probably right. But that's also the "first they came for the Socialists" viewpoint. It may be statistically true that many people hold that view, but they shouldn't.

It depends on the quality of the course and how close it aligns with my goals.

Ex: Udacity's SDC Nanodegree amounts to $2400, but was worth every penny for me. On the other hand, there are numerous machine learning courses on Udemy, and most of them I wouldn't pay for at all (even at $5-$10).

In the latter case, most of the content is either non valuable (its stuff that's repeated all over the internet) or non practical (can talk a lot about theory or math but if I don't actually build anything it doesn't help me).
Ah sorry, I mean how the machine verifies the validity of the card.
That's the bit. Not schema free, but column oriented instead of row oriented. I evaluated Citus a while back comparing to Impala w/ Parquet on HDFS and a couple of other systems. Citus was underwhelming in that context, and the syntax for the fdw awkward owing to keeping base Postgres stock.
Did you file a bugreport?

(This is not directed at you personally, but a lot of people just complain about bugs on public forums like this one without filing a bugreport, thus not giving the developers a chance to address the problem. I'm guilty of this myself way too often.)
Au contraire, it doesn't matter if the pun is translated directly. Heck, Google might be doing whole paragraph translation for all we know. It's certainly not at the level of individual words.

Translate words and it's gibberish. Pairs of words and you start to get slang. Triples and you can distinguish word that are different parts of speech in different contexts. Quads and grammar is mostly in the bag. 5-grams and most puns are handled. 6-grams and you've taken care of all simple sentences. Etc.

No need for semantics when n-gram counts does just as well.

With enough people talking, we'll eventually have taught Google all the translations for all possible sentences. (joking, but only halfway)

> Witch hunts cannot actually be carried out by losers, big or small: the agent of a witch hunt must have power.

Aaaaay, and now the public conversation has finally advanced.

The contention of the far right is that this statement is exactly right, but not in the way the author means. That is: there is no coherent rightist opposition to the national religion of progressivism, and this can be verified by checking for who is doing the hunting.

From he-who-must-not-be-named:

>Think about it. Obviously, if the witches had any power whatsoever, they wouldn't waste their time gallivanting around on broomsticks, fellating Satan and cursing cows with sour milk. They're getting burned right and left, for Christ's sake! Priorities! No, they'd turn the tables and lay some serious voodoo on the witch-hunters. In a country where anyone who speaks out against the witches is soon found dangling by his heels from an oak at midnight with his head shrunk to the size of a baseball, we won't see a lot of witch-hunting and we know there's a serious witch problem. In a country where witch-hunting is a stable and lucrative career, and also an amateur pastime enjoyed by millions of hobbyists on the weekend, we know there are no real witches worth a damn.

Agreed. It's more likely that the entire technical staff will be replaced before even one manager changes the way they do things.

Actually, I have been seeing things like that almost happening several times (firing 5 out of 7 programmers in a team, or firing the entire sysadmin/devops staff -- 9 people -- overnight).
There were several changes over the years, but beta was when I left, but that was really just the straw. The politics was getting too much for me, it was always a factor (remember Katz and the buried commodore64 in Afghanistan)

Sadly nothing really recaptured the spirit of the first few years, and it can't. The internet isn't the Wild West any more, you're not using it over dial up from a box room staring down a CRT, times change, and you can never go home.
If you look at the release schedule of macOS, it hasn't been that much different. There is a major update every year to every 1.5 years and patch updates every 2 months. A difference in 6 months in a release schedule doesn't matter that much if you manage how much goes in a shorter release cycle.

Understood. Different use cases. We like schema, gives us an opportunity to keep data in check. We also communicate through protobuf so there is no benefit in schema-free database for us.

I have a production Django application (the https://www.pastery.net pastebin). Just for fun, I'm going to change the container's image from python:3 to pypy:3 and document what happens here.

EDIT:

* Failed building psycopg2. Apparently I need to use psycopg2cffi instead. Retrying...

* manage.py now can't import Django. Hmm.

* Yeah, I have no idea why it can't import Django. I took most of the settings out of settings.py, thinking it somehow caused an ImportError, but it still fails. I think I have to give up at this point, as I have no more guesses.

* Turns out manage.py was trying to launch `/usr/bin/env python` and it needed `/usr/bin/env pypy3`. Seems odd to include a `python` binary on the image and not just alias it to `pypy3`, but it is what it is. Continuing...

Welp, everything seems to be running just fine. Here's the diff of all the changes I had to make:

https://www.pastery.net/rrjdfj/

Basically, install psycopg2cffi instead of psycopg2, use pypy3 for the interpreter instead of python, and add two lines to settings.py. All in all, pretty damn short!

GAW Miners CEO Held Liable for $9.8M Judgment in SEC Case
Wouldn't a much bigger deal be distributed part of the Oracle database in the cloud, not ML? Because turning a feature rich RDBMS into a decent distributed database is not really possible. You either have to sacrifice consistency, which by the looks of it is what Oracle is thinking to do [1], or you have to sacrifice both performance and availability. And there are already cheap not CAP consistent RDBMSs as services in the cloud. It's just hard to imagine how Oracle can leverage 90s era technology in a distributed world.

Does anyone remember the MacTCP control panel?

It looked like an eager bright eyed bushy tailed summer intern did it in their spare time to impress their manager who had never heard of this Internet thing before, but who then couldn't get the rest of the company to buy into this weird TCP/IP thing, because it was distracting customers from using LocalTalk like they were meant to. But then they shipped it anyway, but never updated it after the intern left at the end of summer.

I get the same vibe from the current Terminal Preferences Profiles dialog, whose window you aren't allowed to resize, and which has the fixed size scrolling list of configurations, fixed width run command input field that doesn't let you see the whole command and makes it hard to edit, and many other cramped fields, whose labels are all clipped and scrolled, even when you click on them to edit the labels.

Why the FUCK does anyone (ESPECIALLY Apple) use tiny fixed sized windows jam packed full of cramped tabbed and sub-tabbed dialogs with nested vertically scrolling lists of horizontally scrolling text fields, in these days of gigantic screens?

My favourite part of Slashdot was the trolling.

Some classic trolls there like "egg troll", "The Turd Report", etc. with their quite absurd yet entertaining posts.

Then there was the rather ruder trolling, like not knowing if the link you were about to follow was yet another Goatse Man. Or the more helpful trolls, such as ones taking music requests to spam as the first post.

There was even a 'hidden SID' forum, trolltalk, which was rather amusing (and somewhat disturbing) until it was overrun by some Markov chain bot.

And spinoff trolling sites like http://adequacy.org - satire to rile uptight nerds and amuse the rest.

I think the bizarre trolling subculture, amidst the righteous frothing of Linux fanaticism, was what really made Slashdot.

Anyway, good times.
My suggestion is to stick with Windows 10 and turn on the Windows Subsystem for Linux. That gives you an Ubuntu command line userland running inside Windows. Then if you have any more specific Linux needs, use virtual machines to install any Linux distribution you want.
