I picked OSU for much the same reason... but your comment appears to agree with mine? You picked Penn b/c you have good research opportunities now, so unless faculty start jumping ship at large volumes in the near future, regular folks like you and I would have made the correct choice, no?

The article feels a bit disingenuous to me because it compares funding for hugely popular private universities to those in flyover country. If the author could provide statistics for private universities in Ohio and Pennsylvania that supported the same trend, then I would see his thesis more clearly.
I changed my comment to neural network since a set of neurons is somewhat wrong, but I don't really agree that there isn't much of a connection between this and biology. While there might not be much of a connection between how they currently work and how our brains work, the whole point of machine learning and neural networks is to improve computers performance on the things we are good at. And while originally it was loosely modeled on it, and might be different know, it doesn't make it so people can't compare it to the brain. It would be wrong to say it is exactly like the brain, but I don't think there is anything wrong with comparing and contrasting the two. If our goal is to improve performance and we are the benchmark, then why shouldn't we compare them.

What I found interesting was mainly that it was us who nudged the parameter space you talked about into the "wrong" one manifold, especially given how old and complicated Go is. The sheer amount of human brain power that has been put into getting good at a game wasn't able to find certain aspects of it, and in 60 hours of training a neural network was able to.
The Problem with HTML in React and GraphQL
This seems like something DeepMind could create, given the incentive. They were able to train AlphaGo to predict human moves in Go at a very high accuracy (obviously not with AlphaGo Zero, but the inferior human-predictive version is how they determined that AGZ is playing qualitatively differently).
There is no reason only Tesla could do this. Minimalist campers are a huge growth market.

It has that classic characteristic of a good start up market- people want the solution so badly, they badly hack their own.
Not sure, I have been wondering ( Europe) why new bugs appear that I have never noticed before. Butterflies are less also
Agreed, and I'm happy that I'm not the only person with this view on display density. I can deal with HiDPI displays if it allows me to to a 1:2 integer scale without losing too much real estate, but any scaling between there loses small pixel details. As someone who appreciates sharp bitmap fonts and pixel graphics, the retina MBP is a big irritation.
Just today we were discussing how there was almost zero insects splatters on the windshield or bonnet after an intercity travel. I remember it would get very dirty, at least almost always needed a wash.
I deactivated Facebook a few months ago and realized my email was tied to Facebook on Kickstarter. Facebook helpfully reactivated my account when I logged in, I unlinked it from Facebook, then deactivated again. It's crazy that I'm worried about deleting my Facebook because I'm not sure if something similar will crop up in the future and lock me out of some website (or I'd have to effectively get a new email address).
Too bad it wasn't the mosquitoes. Now when people shoot down ideas to eradicate them because "what about the species that eat them" I can just point out this 75 percent reduction in other flying insects...
Any prospective employee who asks me is going to get an answer that is 20% lower than the other job description they were eligible for prior to asking.
"When asked about salary I say that I consider my previous/current employer's salary information to be proprietary & confidential information and I would be violating the agreement I signed when I joined that company to keep such information private, by revealing it."

Such agreements are not allowed in California. It would be illegal and unethical for a company to ask you to sign it.

This disclosure is a measure put in place to audit some of the spending of the government. Because citizens are compelled through threat of violence or denial of liberty to pay tax it's pretty reasonable for citizens to have access to what their tax money is being used for.

All Americans have a right to privacy. Their reason for privacy doesn't matter and doesn't need to make sense to you.

Compensation is an important conversation to make sure a job is a win/win. I think "What would you like to be paid?" is the most relevant question anyway.
TIFs are so evil. I avoid stores so sited (and their ~25% "tax") when I can, but their very existence harms the credit of every county and most municipalities I know. They don't even perform their supposed role of restoring "depressed" areas, because a third of them are out in the country and another third just replace one profitable business with another (with a ~3 year interim of nothing at all on the site while the lawyers and lobbyists do their evil shit). The whole phenomenon is just a scheme for zoning boards etc. to enjoy corruption.
Which would imply that they are not, in fact, overpriced.
Voluntary action and overcoming coordination problems don't mix well. Best case is the volunteers overpay tremendously for things that benefit a ton of free-riders (those who benefit, and could pay, but choose not to). Worst case it all falls apart and we invent government to compel cooperation and then crush/conquer any societies that don't follow suit and remain awful, disorganized messes.
I just open up the inspector and delete those nodes that are in the way.

The way I see it, Damore wanted to be a martyr (realistically, what happened was the most likely outcome and he knew it) in the spirit of "The Life of David Gale" and he got it.
The exchange usually gives better rates to people who do larger transactions, but the monthly volume would be the important indicator, rather than single transaction volume.
> Why publish the RFC now, especially since it's not on track to become an Internet standard?

One might ask why ever publish RFCs that are not on the Standards Track? But that seems a bit silly. We have Experimental, Information, BCP, and Standards tracks for a reason.

As to why publish now? Most likely because the authors finally got the energy to reach the finish line recently. It does happen that some Internet-Drafts take years to reach the RFC-Editor queue. Taking a long time is not fatal.
These people sound like gangsters with radiation weapons intended to consciously manipulate people. Nothing about Magic Leap is remotely consistent with the common sense restrictions on private associations that Machiavelli outlined. This article is more free advertising for a group of individuals who have no business not being in jail considering their gleeful manipulation of the public.

Abusing the USA financial news networks in order to build a brand based on psychological manipulation is a crime. It was recognized as a crime, namely subverting society, hundreds of years ago. We have political elites in order to clean this trash out of society.

We rely on our political class to get rid of this filth.
I just received my T25. They are already unavailable in the US. I will soon be making a comparison video between the T25, my X62, and the old X300.

I will say that the panel itself is a good panel, 1080p aside. It is like the one in the T450s - good white point, linear constant-current backlight driver (no flickery low-freq PWM!)
This hasn't been my experience at all - I'm sorry you haven't had better offers. If you haven't already, I suggest contacting the brokers mentioned on this page (FE International, Pixel Paycheques) and see if they can get you better deals
No, because If I'm completely honest, I want my society to improve but I don't want to spend all my free time looking through a catalog of projects which require funding and choose that. I would rather delegate that job to people who can do that full time.
You make it sound as if Americans were more open about salaries as the rest of the world. My impressions up to now were opposite - Americans super open and others not much.
Communism has been tried already and has resulted in failed states and miserable people....the most recent example is Valenzuela...why is this so hard to see?
I'd certainly be surprised if I ever woke up from being cryopreserved. Which isn't to say that I'd object to the process if I had the disposable income and an understanding/cooperative family support structure, which I do not.
Hi, thanks for the interest. I am one the of the authors of the paper.

To clarify, the main goal of ASAP is to automatically select a reasonable smoothing parameter for time-series. Moving average is already widely used for time-series visualization and dashboards, but setting the width of the window is a usually manual process.

If you're interested, our extended version of the paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.00983.pdf) contains some empirical comparisons of the moving average function with other smoothing functions like FFT and the Savitzky–Golay filter.
I am curious as to why this makes it more ridiculous? If you think it is government micromanaging, wouldn't it be that no matter what issue they were trying to solve?
Ask HN: Do you have any kind of self-destructive habit?
Yes:

- Any excess or self-harm like smoking, drinking when you know it doesn't add

- Indirect self-harm like sitting a lot

- Addictions internet, coding, eating, thinking, etc

- Excessive stuff like procrastination when you should be working or just consumption to feel happy/ worth it/ fit in.

No: No self harm and a good balance of excesses.

If yes, Why?
If no, how do you know?
Can you delay gratification?
Since undergrad while taking economics classes, I thought this was entirely obvious. And honestly, I still do. To assume everyone is a rational actor is to assume everyone is perfect: they don't make mistakes, they don't have asymmetric information, etc.

You can already see the changes that this articles suggests should happen in practice with high speed trading. I'd love a more detailed article, because this describes something obvious and vague.
I am a diabetic (since 2015) and have come to really appreciate 90% dark chocolate. Maybe it's weird coming from me, because I was legit addicted to it, but added sugar is sooooo overrated.

>Honestly though, I don't think wealth distribution purely through taxes is the way to go. That is not how we created equality in Norway. A lot has to do with the corporatist model where big employer and employee unions set wages in big national bargains. This combined with public education with very even quality, levels the playing field.

Being incredibly resource rich in comparison to your population numbers helps - that's most of the underpinning for the welfare economy of Norway, if I'm not mistaken, not income taxes or taxes on cigarettes.

Totally agree as far as education is concerned, though.
Compilation worked on my main computer, but I couldn't get it to work on the VM I tried at work.

Seems to be pretty good at voice recognition, but there's a noticeable delay while it parses my voice, maybe 3 seconds.

All things considered, it's light-years ahead of any other open source voice project I've seen, but it's not there yet. It's interpreted my mechanical keyboard strokes as voice about 5 times while writing this message, so it's not there yet, but I'll certainly be leaving it installed and keeping an eye out for updates.
Tezos: the path forward
That's a good question but from my experience it's not the case. I live in France and 20 to 30 years ago, after hours driving on highways, it was quite common to have your car plastered with bugs.

Now it rarely happens.

And with the last 2 cars I've had, I know it's not an aerodynamic issue because one of my hobbies is to do track days.

I go to Michelin's wet track something like once a year and it's bugs' paradise: fields, grass all around and very humid because the track is wet so you can hydroplane easily. Bottom line is my car gets plastered there and we don't even drive that fast (something like 80/90 km/h or 50/55 mph).
Yet another reason I don’t think this will make a dent into anything.

EDIT: From the paper: "Surprisingly,
shicho (“ladder” capture sequences that may span the whole board) – one of the first elements of
Go knowledge learned by humans – were only understood by AlphaGo Zero much later in training" I'm surprised by the author's use of the word "Surprisingly" here.

Do you have a reference for that assertion? According to some quick searches, it seems like that was true in the 70s and earlier, but in the recent decade the majority of millionaires and billionaires are now self-made. Of course, that googling is confirmation bias, so I'm interested in data from the other perspective.

How fast can a non-paying renter be legally removed from the property in your country? In the US, someone with no legal skills can drag it out for 6-18 months by asserting various nonsense.
Random rollouts are what the MC in MCTS stands for.

Without that, it is simply a tree search.

Excerpt from the paper:

> [AlphaGo Zero] uses a simpler tree search that relies upon this single neural network to evaluate positions and sample moves, without performing any Monte-Carlo rollouts.
That's a legit concern. Assuming it was possible, if only those in your company could see your salary (and you could see their salaries), would you be in favor of it? I'm also assuming that people in your company don't live in your neighborhood/wouldn't be burglary threats.
Weird. It thinks I'm logged in to Facebook and Flickr, which I'm definitely not (I checked).

I am logged in to HN and it didn't catch that.
So why is it that people like Assange and Snowden, whose lives arguably depend on these matters, choose PGP over anything else?

I'm no expert in security, but my intuition is that the likelihood that my signed ubuntu plus gpg leak secrets is significantly lower than my who-knows-what-the-hell-its-doing android with signal, right? You gotta agree with this at least.

Edit: I see the study was conducted in Germany, but it has me wondering about the U.S. where I have (anecdotally) noticed a large decline as well.

Are there large enough areas of the country that you could control for areas that don't spray for mosquitos to see if the populations have also declined in those areas?

It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that the spraying over the last 10 years to control the mosquito population due to the media induced West Nile panic followed by zika panic has contributed to this.
Then let's talk about a law that would allow you to voluntarily raise your personal taxes.

Instead, we're talking about forcibly taking money from people.
The main competitor for this is other dedicated neural network hardware, such as the Google TPU: https://cloud.google.com/blog/big-data/2017/05/an-in-depth-l...

One potential advantage is that neural network weights could be as small as 8 bits. If you're working with 8-bit quantities, you're saving in terms of memory bandwidth, power, and you can fit more computational units. Neural network hardware also isn't going to need hardware implementations of things like sine/cosine, square root. Can potentially avoid control flow and branching hardware (or have less of it). May not need the whole complex register file and thread swapping machinery that GPUs have.
That's basically what Firefox Containers does.

If you live below your means, why would robbers target you? They don't care how much you make, they care what TV you have.

Intel proposed mathematical formula for safer self driving cars
Because contrary to their public images neither is in fact a subject matter expert on these topics.

Snowden in particular did much dumber things than using PGP: he used Lavabit, a "secure email provider" with an architecture any expert could have told you from 10 miles away to avoid, and some amount of the Snowden/Poitras/Greenwald coordination occurred over CryptoCat, which was grievously broken in several different ways --- it is almost certain that every message exchanged between those parties on CryptoCat has been recovered by SIGINT agencies.

People wonder why crypto engineers on message boards are so shrill about this stuff. This is why.
So when exactly do you accept "inequality"? When do you stop in your efforts?

So you take the money of those that have it, no matter how they came by it, and give it to those that don't, regardless of any individual virtue or merit. But you haven't solved inequality. People that live in the cities arguably have access to greater resources (opportunity/leisure/health care/etc) than those that live in rural areas. Perhaps we force some people to live in work in places that they might not otherwise choose to in order to create greater equality? Or do we say we accept the inequality of the urban vs. the rural? The list goes on and the measures to achieve an egalitarian outcome become more draconian. Certainly, with a sufficient use of physical force (or the threat thereof) you can achieve all sorts of "equality"... and all the proponents of such egalitarian proposals here are suggesting is that using brute force against those that wouldn't voluntarily play along is OK. Nothing more intellectually sophisticated than saying, "don't agree, we'll take it."

But in all of this, once you accept that force is a legitimate means to enforce "equality" in this way, you have a hard time keeping those that have appointed themselves lord protectors of the poor (or other victim class) from becoming the new elite.

Oh well, here's to the pursuit of egalitarianism! http://www.seasite.niu.edu/khmer/ledgerwood/Khmer_Rouge.htm

So as an employer, I should just waste mine and the applicant’s time and then find out they want more than I can possibly pay them? No thanks.
Yeah,

I think the problem is that whatever advantage they are aiming can't an advantage on pure price-performance because then they would entering into a crowded, commodity market with a lot of entries.

However, I think it's reasonable to argue that deep learning has come to GPUs because they offered a really strong price-performance equation rather than for any really specific features. There may be good deep-learning that can be added to a GPU but are there deep-learning that are worth doubling the price (where you could buy two GPUs instead)?

And I'm OK with this. The fewer parallel offerings I have to seriously consider, the less work is involved for me.
Living below my means doesn't mean I live like my neighbors. My house is roughly the same as everyone around me. The contents of the house are not (and they are private), and yet I still live well below my means. I have a semi-nice TV, and more importantly, expensive computers like pretty much everyone on HN to do my job.

Basically if this doesn't already exist I could start a business tomorrow recommending salary offers to employers based on position and applicant.

Possible sources of salary info include

Job sites where people review and report on salary at their employer, even if anonymous its super likely that figuring out exactly who you are could be less than rocket science.

Credit reporting agencies.

Bullshit surveys where people answer questions like how much money you make.

Really smart educated guesses based on analyses of known good data from your own and similar employers/employees.

Big employers. As long as the data isn't directly shared with their fellow companies and only in fact with me they stand to benefit from me knowing how much they and their competitor pay so I can recommend the lowest salary an employee is likely to accept so they can minimize cost.

In short your employer doesn't know how much you make but I do and recommend based on that info. Further I can even perpetuate racism and sexism! If minorities and women are currently paid less I can let you know to offer less and still get applicants. If I train a computer to make that determination it can even decide such without me explicitly telling it to and we can blame the algorithm instead of me!

Go technology and go capitalism. High five!

This is of course entirely hypothetical but sufficiently trivial that I find it hard to imagine people not doing it.
I'll give the grand parent that benefit of the doubt - pharmacology research is expensive, there's a reason that most of the companies who develop pharmaceuticals have multi-billion dollar market caps.
Or a slight variant. Base salary grids, and confidential discretionary compensation.

Whatever gets negotiated on hiring in term of variable comp rolls off relatively quickly and then it's up to individual performance. Salary grids remove any curiosity, jealousy and other distractions on that topic for employees. It also avoids a negotiation on hiring, or leaving too much discretion to the employee making the hiring (and possible discrimination).

Lets you still reward performance while eliminating discrimination on hiring.
