That doesn't really relate to what I just said. I'm assuming that you're using compression and have optimized images. But if you took a page, saved it as a static HTML document and compared it to the "live" version the static HTML document will outperform it virtually single time, even on a slower server. That is essentially what this script is doing, and what people do with tools like Jekyll.
"normal" burial is pretty eco IMO. Your body goes back to mother earth, especially if the Jewish /Muslim tradition of just wrapping the dead person in a cloth is adapted.
I'm sure some people thought the printing press was the devil incarnate as it took the human element out of books. Prior to that every letter, every page, was produced with some measure of human effort. Holding that work, reading those letters, was something special.

Now there's no direct physical connection between what we write and the book someone holds, yet we don't run around screaming that automated printing has destroyed writing.

With intelligence this is likely to be the same thing: AI can amplify regular intelligence just as the printing press can amplify the ability of one writer to reach more people.

Very relevant paper: "Hardened dildo.io, A Cryptographically Secure,
Usable Matchmaking Service"

https://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.857/2016/files/13.pdf

I've actually implemented this paper in a hackathon, but we never launched it. It's basically like tinder, but no central server has access to anyone's likes. Yet, by using homomorphic encryption and a calculation performed on the server (through which no information is revealed), you can know if someone you liked likes you back. It's pretty cool!
We're just a simulation of intelligence that's done with clunky, inelegant biological materials. The only thing that separates humans from slugs is scale and complexity of neural interconnections, all the basic parts are present in a slug.

Intelligence itself is an emergent phenomenon, so who's to say what's "simulated" and what's "real"? If it behaves in an intelligent manner, which can be tested and probed exhaustively, then it is intelligent.
You guys are even using Rust for some of your projects on Github [0]. Yay :).

> My counter-hypothesis is this: Computers, compared to humans, will always be more data-hungry (i.e. worse at making general decisions without huge amounts of data) and more data-capable (i.e. better at making decisions with it).

I don't think this is necessarily true. Currently we're trying to push computers to do things that are relatively easy for humans to do. I would conjecture that these things are easy for us, not because we are amazing learning machines, but because we have millions of years of evolution, and years as infants with caring teachers going for us.

So, I think we are actually data efficient learning machines, just that we have strong priors, and we spend a lot of effort training each other.

If you compare humans to machines on problems which are not intuitive for us, I think you will find machines to be more data efficient than we are.

I find a great substitute is olive oil where I'd use butter for non-cooking (eg. instead of butter on pasta or instead of butter on bread). It's not quite as tasty but still a huge improvement over dry, and it's healthier.

For cooking, I understand olive oil is unhealthy (I think you create carcinogens as a side-effect), as are many other oils, but that coconut oil doesn't do this because of its different melting temperature.
If you’re purposefully consuming normal levels of carbohydrates you’re not going to be in ketosis anyways. Unless you’re maintaining a ketogenic diet there’s no reason to worry about your glycosis/ketosis state after a meal. A teaspoon of honey isn’t going to ruin your body. Likewise, if you’re over indulging it doesn’t matter much if it’s “better” sugar or “worse” sugar. I’m willing to bet the poster isn’t drinking a honey sweetened soda.
I started a beach Ultimate Frisbee tournament in Erie, PA 17 years ago called Don't Give Up The Disc. It's become many people's favorite weekend of the year and though I no longer run it I've made it back all but 1 year.

My plan is to be cremated and to have my ashes scattered on Beach 11 at Presque Isle State Park at the opening of the tournament following my death.

Bonus points if they can get some custom 175g frisbee made with my ashes mixed in the plastic, as they did with Ed Hedrick.

In my experience (this is something I'm in the midst of and still working on), the key to early low-budget marketing is establishing a feedback cycle. More important than reaching large numbers is gauging the reaction across a reasonable cross-section of the market. Apart from figuring out what's working and what isn't, it's also critical for zeroing in on who your early adopters will be.

Ads are an anonymous and low-touch acquisition channel, making them great for growing once you've got product-market fit, and (mostly) terrible before that point. If you're really clever with AB testing, analytics, lifecycle emails, etc., you may be able to get some useful info out of an ad campaign, but I think it's unlikely to be cost effective compared to higher touch options like networking, cold emails, posting on forums, meetups, conferences, etc. where it's easier to establish a line of communication and find out what people really think.

I don't think this is something you can hire for. Honestly, while it has its moments when things are going well, overall it's just not very fun work. It's tedious, frequently discouraging, and puts you in a lot of uncomfortable situations. It takes founder-level motivation to push through. Once you've done the hard work and have the machine running, there are tons of people who will be happy to scale and optimize it for money. Before that, I think a co-founder is probably the only realistic option if you're looking for someone to completely own early-stage marketing.

Lots of time I'm lying in bed, almost falling asleep and suddenly realizing I left the kitchen light on. In fact, I'm not sure I did. But it doesn't allow me to sleep, so now I need to wake up, check the kitchen for a light that might not even be on. At that moment I'd be willing to pay a lot for a button on my phone to turn off all the lights.
I like the part that shows how similar companies end up with different tax rates.

Otherwise, I am not sure that federal corporate income tax isn't high, if you consider that any dividends paid to actual persons pay income tax again. I can agree paying 35% of my profits in either way, but not twice.
I gave up on that page very early. Its horrible.

That being said, I have a tax theory. Forgetting about the political power required to do such a thing. Would it be possible to do away with all the taxes and replace them with a very low sales tax that gets applied to everything. e.g.
Farmer buys a cow, pay 1% sales tax
Milk wholesaler buys the milk to process, pay 1% sales tax
Shop buys the milk to sell, pay 1% sales tax
Shop buys labour to work in the shop (staff), pay 1% sales tax
I buy milk to consume, pay 1% sales tax

More examples.
Trade BitCoin, pay 1% sales tax
Sell a house, pay 1% sales tax
Trade shares, pay 1% sales tax

I accept some of this will be hard to police without the incentive for smaller businesses to claim the tax back.

I believe the key to making this work, is having no possible way to get exemptions. Doesn't matter if you don't make a profit, you still pay, doesn't matter if you are a organisation looking to on-sell or a consumer, every transaction pays and no way to offset this.

Finding the magic % would be difficult, but is the key part. Would this be possible? Where could I go on the inter webs to ask if such a scenario would even be possible
Nevermind, you're right. The warning I was thinking of was redefinition.
Your case is probably a legitimate case and most people probably would not get addicted after short term limited usage. The problem is prescribing it for more longer term situations.
Yes, but when you see stats about opioid use, weak opioids are included.

I would estimate a huge percentage of US opioid utilization is codeine in the form of Tylenol #3.
It's not perfect, but it's fast, easy to code, and the first false positive for this version is a long way out. Early Carmichael numbers have small factors, and although I'm only testing against prime bases up to 19, I'm not sure where the first false positive is. But it's a long way further out than the numbers we're dealing with here.

Can you share what kind of service is that?
I'm sorry you feel that way, but you can't aggress an idea. I am here to talk about ideas.

At first you imply that forgoing capitalism would save (or help to save) Olivetti. Olivetti only exists because of capital markets, and in a world without capital markets there would be no Olivetti to save.

You then said that, in your opinion, "capitalism allows for the speculation game to occur", which is too vague to be interpreted consistently. "the speculation game" isn't a common or publicly defined term, and it hasn't been defined here. You provide no reasoning to support your idea that this undefined thing occurs as a result of capitalism. Because of that, I said that your statement doesn't mean anything.

It certainly doesn't mean anything to me, and that's not a reflection of your character, your personality, or your worth. I simply have no idea what you are talking about, because you have been excessively vague in your "aggression" (to use your standard) toward capitalism.
It's not that I think it is risky; there's probably no risk at all from making a room darker when you go to sleep. I know people who can't sleep without a sleeping mask and they've been alternately skinny and fat all the same.

What I'm asking is whether that test, as an individual, can actually prove anything? What you think is an actual effect might not be any effect at all. Without something more rigorous, your "test" is that of a magician. It's easy to forget how suggestible we are as humans.

Do you believe that if you pray to god to confirm himself to you and you feel a "burning in your bosom" that the Book of Mormon and the LDS church are right about reality?

I am curious if we will someday build AI systems that are stratified with layers alternating between "statistical" like neural networks and "symbolic" like the older AI approaches. For example once your image recognition NN is tagging things, you could feed those tags into a more symbolic reasoning system.

In theory Deep Learning should make this unnecessary (I guess?), but in practice these layers would be very useful. First they would make the system more interpretable. When your AI is a black box you don't learn anything. It would be nicer if we could gain heuristics or principles that we didn't know before, and apply them ourselves. Second with layers we wouldn't have to trust the AI so blindly. We could see if its thinking makes sense. In particular many AI applications can create feedback loops where it can perform well at first, but we'd like to keep monitoring it to ensure it stays that way.

If neural networks resemble our unconscious then symbolic systems resemble our reason---like "Thinking Fast and Slow". Some people say we must be able to do "better" than NNs since babies don't need to see millions of dogs to recognize them. But the pixel-inputs of a NN do seem a lot like the rods & cones inputs of our vision, and one huge advantage of human perception is seeing in the flow of time. Our observations aren't millions of discrete snapshots, but millions of connected moments. I wonder how image recognition training would improve if we trained by showing short videos instead of still images. It seems that would make it a lot easier to recognize boundaries and possible variations.

In humans, our unconscious is not something we can easily "see" and reflect on and correct, but our reason is reflective. We can articulate principles and opinions and judgments. We can re-use them and continually challenge them, question them, modify them, even reject them. There is a cynical idea that reason is nothing but post facto rationalization, and maybe it often is, but we needn't live that way. We can live an examined life if we choose. But I can't imagine a machine ever achieving that reflexivity without a symbolic system.

And isn't that awareness close to what we mean by "consciousness"? Somewhere, I think in Jacques Maritain, I came across the definition of consciousness as simply awareness of the self, in particular that the self exists. Being able to recognize ideas as "mine" and reflect on them also seems like part of what consciousness is all about.
Dude. A blog post on writing application on top of asyncio which may interchangeably use threads or async/await, and incrementally making the switch to asyncio would be awesome.

I work with a large-fintech platform which is partially powered by Python. Our old server was based around threads, queues, and socket multiplexing but we are gradually starting new applications in asyncio.

I recently completed a project in aiohttp which has been fantastic. What are your thoughts on aiohttp vs tornado?
Indeed. It seems somewhat akin to "Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
The culture there nurtures a nasty, cynical, mean-spiritedness into otherwise lovely people. What is the reason for it? No idea, but I know it's true because I grew up there and it took me forty years to (mostly) purge myself of that impulse. If I had to guess the reason, I think it is looks like a Venn diagram of small-minded, provincial people who harbor a deep, unfocused rage vs. people who use Reddit and similar message boards.
Charitable gift exchange is a zero-sum game between giver and recipient. On the table is the money in question, attribution, tax relief, future control of the money, and the conditions for future gifts.

Attribution is essentially a public statement on behalf of the recipient that the giver is a good person. These statements have a value. You could not pay me $10 to say that Bill Gates is a good person, but you could probably pay me $100,000. However if Bill Gates wanted to give me $100,000 without attribution, I would be spared the cost of saying I thought he was a good person in public.
You don't think that the US using 99% of the world's supply of hydrocodone is a factor?

You've also said that canada has higher per capita use - do you have a cite for that? Because it doesn't match any data I've seen.

While I understand your skepticism, there are a few use cases for which I use HA which would be either painful manually, or would require alternate devices such as timers/etc:

1 - outside lights - various lights which light our home's pathway or areas we prefer to have lit at night come on automatically at sundown and turn off at sun-up.

2 - scenes; with HA, we can click one button - a switch with scene control in our case - and have the lights in the room go to a specific set point, receiver come on, select sonos, and tune in to a particular station - an activity which would conventionally require several manual steps with various input devices.

3 - notifications; with HA, I get notifications when the front door or garage doors are opened/closed.

There are several things I plan to implement:

1 - using presence detection and adjusting temps/lights/etc based upon that

2 - fan control; we are heavy users of ceiling fans, and integrating them into home automation would be a significant upgrade. Haven't found a replacement for our Minka controllers which supports zwave (or anything else).

All of this has been possible for years - usually with single vendor solutions which are very costly; HA integrates nearly all automation platforms into a single system allowing each platform's features to work together relatively seamlessly. It's a moving target, but has become very stable/reliable with recent releases.
I am confused. If the betting is rigged, then how were the authors able to beat it consistently? What did I miss?
Think through the effects a little bit if you do this you'll get big corporations buying their entire supply chain to end up at 1% tax to pay. The more complicated the supply chain the more expensive the products would become.

e.g say for a car you'd have 10 companies chained (mining company, refining company, plastic creation company, ...)

You'd end up with ~10% tax on a car but 2% for milk. Makes it very tricky to do specialized high tech produts
My favorite example of a weird mistranslation was an old Google Translate bug, long since fixed, when doing Spanish -> English.

If you typed in “amistad,” it would spit out “friendship.” So far so good. It even translated punctuation. “Amistad!” came out as “Friendship!” Adding exclamation points to the input added them to the output. Amistad!! -> friendship!! Amistad!!!!!! -> friendship!!!!!! But if you used exactly five exclamation points, no more and no less, it would instead translate to “murder!”

You can change the world on 10k, we believe otherwise because we're lazy, and to be fair, it's a lot more fun to have 10 million than 10 thousand.

Sure, if you have a bunch of money and throw that money at things, you'll "change the world", but that doesn't mean that's an effective way of making lasting or useful change.
And how do you determine this in an interview?
You seem to have a really good understanding of this topic. In your view, what do you think the definition of UX, UI and graphics design is? I think that would be beneficial to the readers of your comment.

Also, can you cite some examples of the list of products?

I can think of

- products with great UIs and awesome graphic design but horrible UX: Shopping cart checkouts that if you click something, you have to write the CC/Name-details again. Multi-city flight search on any major travel site is a pain in the ass.
That would really strongly encourage vertical integration.

Consider a company that owns oil wells, pipelines, refineries, and gas stations. It never pays sales tax on its petroleum products. Only the final consumer does on the gasoline he buys.

A competitor network made up of independent parts has an oil drilling independent pay sales tax after it sells crude to a trading firm, the pipeline owner pays sales tax on the money it gets from the driller for the use of its pipeline, the trading firm pays sales tax when it sells the crude to a refiner, the refiner pays sales tax when it sells the oil to an independently owned gas station, and finally the end consumer pays the same sales tax as the integrated firm when it sells to the end user.

Countries that raise significant revenue from sales taxes generally use a VAT (value added tax) to avoid this problem.

Another anecdote: I'm in the "I'll never give up bread!" camp; I have never been on any kind of specialized diet, and I have never been obese. At one point I wanted to lose 10 LB, and I just counted calories, and it worked, albeit slowly.

Given that bread is a fairly old food, while the obesity problem seems recent, something seems off with the idea that we should all be on a keto diet.

I have a Roomba and if I don't close my bathroom door at night, it always gets stuck in the bathroom when it goes off in the morning. So every night, I make sure the bathroom door is closed before I go to bed. I would not pay anything for an app that closed my bathroom door. I just make sure I check at night. It still doesn't make sense to me.

Roomba makes sense to me. Sweeping is hard and takes a significant amount of time. Flipping a switch is not hard and takes no time at all.
