so its basically chrome-headless with a different UI and 20% slower because it is running via an interpreted nodejs rendering that is then compiled into a binary. why not just use chrome? If you're going to use an existing browser, why not use Dillo or Lynx as the backend, which really are minimalist in terms of memory usage.
Well heck, I was called a Russian shill here just the other day, and I am not even Russian.

It is also interesting because the Chinese are thought to have conducted the OPM hack -- probably one of the most massive and embarrassing strikes against the US government's intelligence and military agencies in decades, maybe ever. Anybody worried after that about Chinese companies or individuals buying assets in US (like say real estate). It's not nearly at the same level of hysteria and panic as people are about Russians. At least the press hasn't done nearly the amount of coverage.
It seems like this comment is a little understated. Maybe the commenter could think more about how to catch the attention if the persons he/she wishes to target. /s
In a package manager I wouldn't expect to see it. On HN, especially as a Show HN, the audience has a much higher likelihood of being interested in digging into the code, perhaps even becoming a contributor. That makes the language used much more pertinent.
"Peer review" originally meant the scientific concept of reviewing your peers, formally or otherwise. Currently that is not the dominant usage. For example, perelmans proof of the poincare theorem is not "peer reviewed" in the contemporary parlance because it was dumped on arxiv, and not published in a journal with a structured system of presumptive validation. It would be silly to claim that his work is not/will not be reviewed by his peers -- "peer review" in the classic sense.
thanks v much for recommendation
you don't need to be X to be an X shill. the phrase usually means shilling about X.
Doesn't it scale? Isn't it the case that the Merkle tree holding all the shielded coins can be pruned just as easily as the Merkle tree storing Bitcoin transactions? Pruning either tree eliminates the information needed to verify the claimed owner of a coin in a pruned branch, correct?
The example line is just operations of registers, without any dependencies until the function return. The compiler should know to interleave these instructions with the code, so that the CPU can issue them alongside other operations.

Compilers should view operations more like a dependency graph, laying out operations with an interleaving that maximizes multi-issue, while keeping register pressure in check. In my mind, if the human can significantly change the output of the assembly by moving one line, the compiler optimizations may be turned off.

Concerning "#1 dialog": if your application is doing sustained interaction with a user, fine. As a sysadmin, however, the very last thing I want is a GUI interaction when doing an install (installations seem to be the most common use of shell scripts). Please document command line flags like "--I-have-read-and-accept-the-license" and don't put roadblocks in front of automating the install. Wouldn't you prefer to sell the thousands of automated license uses I could spin up in the time I'd spend answering ten of your GUI license prompts?

I guess not. But they specifically dug into my comment history to prove that I was X (which I am not). So by their definition they were looking for the "need to be an X"

We live in an era where mass produced commodities and standardization of nearly everything creates useful economies around a product leading to lower cost, availability of parts, and held resale value. However, this can lead to sterilization of design. And, as the article points out, people will gravitate towards uniqueness in many markets.

By taking this constraint of not re-building the product but instead extending it we can begin to imagine the explosion of design that has happened software extend elsewhere. And, I hope, a world where these platforms can be recycled, upcycled, and repaired more readily because unlike software there is an environmental cost to short-lived products.

I went to a Deutsche Bank Hackathon last year in Berlin where they announced opening up their apis. https://developer.db.com/

They touted it as being innovative and open but in the end all Banks are required to open up when PSD2 comes into effect next year. Seeing this release, maybe they have honest intentions for being more open, but it being Deutsche i still have my doubts.

Have you brought this is to the attention of the devs? I'd at least hop on freenode #dri-devel and ask around. The people working on this stuff are very accessible, and that is one of the advantages of having an open driver preferably in mainline. Instead of just complaining and accepting poor results, it's a very real possibility to get involved and collaborate with the authors in improving this for yourself and everyone else

I'm with you in that I will probably not use this (the auto .gitignore reading freaks me out). Another elitist aside: I can usually tell that I won't want to use a tool when it has a mac os install option first under the downloads section on its page.

That said, the good thing about open source is you don't have to use it. I imagine the opinionated choices they made are popular amongst that crowd who seem like the types who mainly use the terminal to code--hence the .gitignore awareness; so, I imagine it's ok for others to use it if they find it makes themselves more productive for what they do. But, the good news is fd won't become a default anytime soon for that reason, so I have nothing to worry about this affecting me.
Which side are you on, vendors?
FRAMES
- $0.50-1.50: Injection modeled (plastic) frames. Everything is pretty much made in China.
- $2.00-3.50: Metal frames. There were something like 3 factories still left in Italy 15 years ago, but I imagine everything has moved to China by this point.

LENS
Local labs (and increasingly regional labs) mass customize these lens blanks based on frame and prescription details.
- $7-11: For a pair of single vision lenses
- $35-40: For a pair of transition lenses with progressive prescription
- A couple dollars for labor AT MOST
- A couple dollars for additional high end treatments that isn't already backed into the blanks (large CapEx now involved in these treatment machines hence the regionalization of these labs).

VISION INSURANCE
- More of a discount program than insurance
- Labs are often what "vision insurance" own with a discount program that is extended to you via these services at your local optometrist.
- Medical insurance (not your vision insurance) covers anything serious...generally when you need to go see an Opthamologist or a Eye surgeon

LUXOTTICA
They are aggressive, smart, license a good chunk of the luxury brands, AND vertically integrated to the nth degree. And yes, they own one of the largest "vision insurance" companies too, EyeMed.
Hi, I downvoted you because you appear to lack reading comprehension ("girly" is not HN's word or even the article author's word: HN is quoting the author and the author is quoting his critics). Either that, or you have some extreme political ideology under which it's not even permissible to quote people critically when they express inappropriate sentiments — if that's your position, you did a poor job of explaining it.

Then I flagged you because, in addition, your wording was pugnacious ("Is HN better than that?").
Of course - but people are going to control those machines, and the people who control the machines probably aren't going to be the people who (in another version of history where automation didn't take over) would be operating them with care out of personal passion.

In our Starbucks example - they also own Clover, the boutique automatic single-serve coffee brewer. It's a brilliant machine and makes a great cup of coffee. But it's artificially only available in certain markets, with certain collections of their own branded roasts. The macinery could be programmed to allow me to get a great cup of coffee at any Starbucks in America, but business incentives don't allow that (presumably - because Clovers are rare machines reserved for special store in major markets). Comiditization entails more than just automating the product and making things consistent and widely available. It also typically changes the incentives of the game and the people who are overseeing implementing them.

The serialisation story in Tensorflow is an obscene mess. There are bugs open on keras and tensorflow asking how to export a model and run it on your laptop and even better...on Android. It simply is crazy bad and cannot be done easily.

In fact, to do even half decent export of TF models, you have to switch to keras to try and do any kind of export.

I have a 10 email conversation with enterprise Google Cloud support to try and get a ML Engine output serialised to work on Android.

There are threads open all over the place on stackoverflow and elsewhere - and yes, we have tried all SIX ways.

Please provide evidence to back the claim of intent. This comes across as if you're implying malice, when it's far more likely interfaces change in the natural course of development where there are no restraints like abi/api stability commitments.

I’m an outsider, but what’s the recent “big idea”? It seems to be throwing more compute power and larger training sets at essentially an old technique. This has led to a big improvement in performance, but I don’t see the big conceptual breakthrough.
I actually found it interesting to read Zooko's opinions about the market opportunity (namely, replacing fiat currencies in countries where they are unstable) and why governments might not hate Zcash (namely, because transactions can contain identifying information as they are encrypted). I don't actually agree with him, and I question if he truly believes those answers, but I was interested to read his public opinions.
But that is precisely how you should be using Keras!

* If you are implementing a standard model (that's 90% of industry use cases, and a large fraction of research use cases as well), Keras primitives considerably simplify your workflow and make you a lot more productive.

* When you need to implement something highly customized or unusual, you can revert back to writing pure TensorFlow code, which will integrate seamlessly with your Keras workflow (via custom layers, functions etc).

Basically, Keras increases your productivity for common use cases, without any flexibility cost for rare/custom use cases. It is meant to be used together with TF, not as a replacement for TF.
If people are going to leave the USB device in all the time, why not just use the onboard TPM the machine probably already has? At least on Windows, the TPM can create a virtual smart card so existing infrastructure can just use that as normal.

Then you get keys protected by hardware. Though the TPMs might commonly be easier to physically hack than good USB devices.

Hi, capability-security folk here. Have you considered adopting capability-security language for describing what's going on here? It seems to me that Mill portals are very much like capability-designed syscalls. In particular, I am reminded of the "no stale stack frame" rule from Monte [0], and its interesting justification:

"Since Monte permits mutable state, one author’s code’s behavior could be affected by another author’s code running further up the frame stack. Stale frames make comprehension of code much harder as a result."

I wish that we were having more conversations and classes like [1] to get knowledge of KeyKOS and other capability-safe kernels out to CPU makers. We have ideas to share!

Fasting mimicking diet restores insulin production in type 1 diabetes
Scott Adams bet the farm on Trump winning. There was 'hate' for Hillary and a determination to see her gone. Notionally he was not a Trump supporter and made that clear to avoid getting his home burnt down or something met out by some imaginary crazy Hillary fan.

During the run up to the election Scott Adams did this thing on Twitter Periscope to update the fans on what was happening in the election. During these chats I am not sure Scott Adams revealed himself to be the most compassionate of characters, it was all about him (and Trump). Oh, and his girlfriend.

His work allegedly dried up during this period, the Dilbert syndication took a hit and the public speaking opportunities went away.

I guess things are different now, Scott Adams will be able to do the book tour and teach this new '3D persuasion' that he has learned from post-truth Trump.

Did Oakley have their retail outlets at that time? Or did that come after the Luxottica purchase?

When I bought my Oakleys last year, most of my research was by browsing in the two Oakley retail stores in my city. Some was from browsing at surfwear stores (as far as I know, Luxottica don't own Rip Curl or City Beach).

A small portion of my shopping research was on my (Luxottica-owned) optometrist's website, but I ended up buying from the Oakley Factory Outlet store.
Out of curiosity, what problems are you running into? I have never had serious problems with the 'save parameters -> dump graph -> freeze graph -> load up with C API' path with feed-forward networks or various RNNs. Either from Go or from Rust.

Admittedly, the documentation in this area is extremely bad and I basically had to figure out myself how to do it, though this was long before 1.0.

> "magic" circular buffers mapped twice in a row so that any size and position block is contiguous

Yes this exact case is one of those that won't work. There are a handful of other things that don't work, like people who roll their own coroutines using assembler. We promise 'don't rewrite, just recompile' but your codebase has to be 64-bit clean and not use any assembly language for any other ISA and not make other unportable assumptions about the hardware.

I can't think of any software that actually uses these circular buffers that wouldn't be worth adapting to the Mill rather than adapting the Mill to them; can you? ;)
A potential solution that would allow you to have your cake (SSH into wherever) and eat it too (have your favorite tools on hand) would be: use a package manager on your hosts that allows for safe installation of per-user packages (that is, such package installation should have absolutely no effect on the system outside of the user’s environment. A logical implication here is that it should be possible to use multiple versions of each package, both inter- and intra-user) and per-user package installation should not require special privileges (i.e. you shouldn’t need to be root if, as per the previous requirement re: safety, per-user package installation has no effect on the rest of the system). Then you could log in and do your work with the best tools you know, rather than being constrained to what your distro (or your servers’ admins) deems useful enough to be installed by default.

It strikes me as an odd choice to accept the least common denominator of tools. As a technologist, that sounds frustrating. And as someone in leadership, I can’t imagine hamstringing my team by making them work within an environment that won’t let them use the best tools for the task at hand.

To be fair, Brave uses Muon, which is not really electron[1].

Muon is similar to Electron, in that it uses Chromium, but different as in, it's really pretty much Chrome[ium], not some hacked together fork, avoiding branches like 'upgrade-to-chrome-61' [2]. It also puts back in the security features from Chromium (ie, the Sandboxes[6]) and allows for Chrom(e|ium) extensions to run inside Muon directly.

The Brave team have been working[3] pretty hard to re-unify Chrome[ium] into Electron.

You could make the case that the UI is written in Javascript for Brave, but then again[4], Chrome calls Javascript code when you open a new tab[5], and renders out the New Tab content as HTML, so, what's the diff?...
