Your parent commenter doesn't like Mongo. So it's not production ready.
It's only cryptic if you don't read it, right?!?
I wasn't able to determine from what I read yesterday if AlphaGo Zero played vs AlphaGo or vs itself (AlphaGo Zero). This probably isn't the place to ask, but if it is, do you know?
It's all good. Notably, it can't happen with npm anymore either, so maybe just not the best analogy to make ;)
Wikipedia feels very insular, somehow. It's difficult to explain why, but I think it's the strictly enforced anonymity and the insistence that real-world identity does not matter on the site. It all reminds too much of institutional politics in a second-rate undergraduate college.

It's not clear how more money can reform the encrusted structures. More volunteers can't be the answer.
PSA: The article is about the "Hey Siri" functionality and not anything relate to Core ML.

The underlying technical content can be found in Apple's Machine Learning Journal article: Hey Siri: An On-device DNN-powered Voice Trigger for Apple’s Personal Assistant

https://machinelearning.apple.com/2017/10/01/hey-siri.html

I hadn't considered the nuance of distinguishing between "Hey Siri" and "Hey Seriously", so that was pretty neat to learn about.
You actually can subsidize the many at the expense of the few.

This is because wealth is becoming more and more centralized. So those "few" people are becoming bigger and bigger pots of gold that can be taken from.
That's interesting.
Part of the problem is the mindset that you're being "punished" when a story about your project is kept off the front page.

In any case, you have to look at the whole thing as a system. If you allow people to point to their HN submissions on Twitter, the site will be unduly influenced by Twitter, rather than by the community that actually uses and contributes to the site. It's not a matter of intention --- I'm annoyed too that I can't casually link to things from Twitter! --- but of empirical fact.
Yes, that is true.

Ready for Camper Mode

Last year I wrote about a subculture of Tesla drivers who go camping in the back of their cars. It sounds crazy at first, but the car’s massive battery can maintain perfectly controlled climate all night while only losing about 7 percent of the car’s range. With the glass canopy overhead and the view of the stars, it’s a great way to enjoy national parks without the bother of a campsite. I tried it myself and loved it.

With the new Model 3, there’s great news for those Tesla campers and others who like to haul long cargo. The seats of the Model 3 fold completely flat, and with the front seats in their most forward position, the back bed measures an impressive 6 feet 9 inches long (206 cm). This is a car that’s dying to be slept in.
Well, I was thinking of different moderation policies rather than user-driven flagging of the kind you describe, so in that sense we agree.

My basic disagreement is that 'just ignore it' and 'don't do things that attract their attention' are not viable strategies for target populations, and it's unjust to systematically shift the burden of responsibility from persistent antagonists to their victims.

I'm interested in your programmatic approach, but let's talk about that offsite.

> Self driving taxis will likely end up a monopolized market, and it may become one of the biggest industries in existence.

Like, where do people get this kind of argument from? I see it a lot around here.

Those are two highly contestable premises, neither of which are at all supported.

Especially the first one. Why on earth would autonomous taxis be a monopoly? There will always be a more profitable segment of the market and a less profitable one, and thus always an incentive for a new entrant to cherry pick the most profitable segment. And the most important capital investment, the roads, by definition will be open to new users.

There's so much magical thinking around self-driving cars. You guys are aware that the only difference between a self driving car and not is the person driving right?

It's just replacing people. And people aren't particularly expensive or hard to come by. It's not like we've never invented a machine to replace people before.
For some reason, this strikes me as creepy. Like joining some sort of corporate cult, where you get to live inside an office 24/7.
It is absolutely shocking to me that research into MDMA and classic psychedelics isn't swamped with funding. I'd imagine that some wealthy people must find this stuff extremely intriguing - Yuri Milner is spending $100 million on space exploration, and an MDMA phase 3 research trial needs ~$15 million and finds it really hard to raise money?

Both have extremely high therapeutic potential, classic psychedelics in particular are interesting in the same way that space exploration is interesting.

And as diogenescynic noted elsewhere, it's even more shocking that we as a society put up with it.

Women in Tech Face Substantial Opportunity Gap: Survey
How's this- Fiske publishes a letter critical of Gelman, with no peer review of said letter, in her journal. She then claims her letter is "science" because it is in a scientific journal, while his self-published piece is "methodological terrorism."

In a sense, both pieces are self-published, and she is using the mantle of Science to falsely claim that her self-publishing is superior because of the authority of her position as editor. This is corruption. This is misusing the scientific venue.

Unless you live in say Salt Lake City or near a national park, these aren't activities you can do everyday on a schedule.

Cycling is fine, as long as you live in a place that supports it well enough (so a Deep South city with no bike trails might not be a good idea).
To add to the other comment, I highly recommend 'Acid Test' to get an overview of the history and potential of MDMA + other drugs like magic mushrooms.

https://www.audible.com/pd/History/Acid-Test-Audiobook/B00MP...
It's good that people with serious issues can get some help via drugs like MDMA, but I do think people should be careful.

I feel that certain groups of people are a bit flippant about drug use, and seem eager to promote them as these great things.

As an example of why we should still remain vigilant - studies have shown MDMA users to literally have shrunken bits of their brain.
http://www.maps.org/news/media/2462-media-reports-of-ecstasy...

I remain cautious of people that promote these things - we should know about the side effects so we can make informed decisions.

Overall, I think it's good to open up laws to allow usage of this, but let's not forget the people who suffer from or may be prone to suffer from drug abuse, and maybe think twice before promoting these things to friends.
This is really the key point of the article (or maybe one of two, the other being Cuddy's unwillingness to accept change in favor of continuing to survive on her unsupported results); and the overall message is that we all do dumb things, directed toward our own benefit, under pressure. (E.g. Carney saying there's no ninth planet, when in fact they only did not show there is a ninth planet). Gelman is actually the only primary player in the piece who mostly escapes this; he does some nerdy things but in no case says something other than what he means, or actively deceives (as Simmons appears to have done here) or self-deceives (Cuddy).
I do avoid 3rd party modules. Not at all costs, but enough for them being less of a problem than the puppet updates themselves.
Not to talk about how it got from a simple "write your configurations here" repository into something that requires that you think about testing and staging envs for your configs. I am still not sure if that's a net positive either.

There is an inherent problem on the complexity itself. The previous piles of scripts I had before it had the complexity right there, on your face. They were clearly hard to manage, but it was bounded. By using Puppet I exchanged that for a lot of hidden complexity, that is ever increasing and once in a while shows its face (always on a bad time).

Or, rephrasing the rant, why does software have to keep growing? If it didn't I could evaluate what is a good trade-off and keep it.
I think having seen all of the worst evils in the world committed in the name of some belief, I have dropped concerning myself with anything that isn't scientifically validated. I feel like all organized religions are just some form of control and don't provide any benefit except for forcing an association with a group that might not hold the same complete beliefs as I do, but is essentially pushing those beliefs onto you by association.

One thing that kind of blows my mind still is how the engineers I work with (some of the best most logically discerning minds) can believe in religion. It seems counter intuitive. Maybe it's out of fear? Not sure. I used to be religious though, and constantly thought about what makes my ancient book of mumbo-jumbo more valid than someone elses book? And is it not messed up that everyone is so divided and just because they were born to a culture or society that does not believe a religion, they will all burn eternally? Seems shady to me. Anyways, ridding my life of unfounded beliefs allowed me to realize the value of life, empathize, and treat others equally, irrelevant of culture or beliefs, whereas I feel like religion tries to make everyone else the "others" who are less than.

F-Droid is my go-to place for no-nonsense Android apps. By no-nonsense, I mean "typically lightweight and not forcing me to create an account merely to use the core functionality." They may not be very pretty or polished, but they tend to do their job well.

Why do you wish that?

Either way, it is one of the basic premises of UBI: People can spend their money more efficiently at helping themselves than bureaucracies can.

Thus, in theory with UBI, giving money is better than attempting to give another limited set of items based on the value the bureaucracy places on them.

Interesting link, and an important note on it:

> Additional commentary: Upon examining this report, human neuroscience researcher Matthew Johnson noted that the researchers did not do a convincing job at "matching" the ecstasy users and control participants on other drug use. The ecstasy users had considerably more use of other drugs, but the statistical tests of whether the groups differed in this respect lacked sufficient power to detect differences in drug use.
100 times this. My wife purchased the Real Plan app and that has absolutely been the key to keeping us on track for cooking healthier.

We avoid the dreaded, "What do you want?" questions around meals and the app's autogenerated shopping list has really helped us reduce food waste and avoid worrying that we're missing one or two ingredients when cooking a meal.
Right, but in pharma and food brands, it’s an evergreen process. For the past 20 years, a lot of breakthrough drugs have come out of start-ups. When they get to a certain phase in FDA trials, the winners get bought up by the big players, because nobody in their right mind wants to carry the overhead to ship one drug. Meanwhile, new startups are always forming.

Same with food brands - there are always new food companies shipping a single new product in a hot new market like kombucha, or kale chips, or iced coffee. They build a following and get bought, but new brands are incubating at the front of the trend curve.

The point is, there’s a steady state in some industries where start-ups are better at capturing trends and moving fast, while big companies have the expertise to scale and meet regulatory requirements. One side needs the other.
Well historically when a corporation couldn't reinvest its capital for an above market rate of return, it would either buy back shares or issues dividends so owners/shareholders can reinvest for higher return.

Hoarding this much cash is historically unprecedented, largely because it's mostly offshore for tech companies and repatriating it would cost many billions in taxes.

Everyone here seems to love Postgres and hate on Mongo, I have no technical knowledge to compare the two, so IMO a lot of that love and hate is more towards the "project attitude", MongoDB is a suit, a sellout, with bullshit marketing and all

Can you be more specific? Or do you mean this in a general sense? Because isn't this obvious ignorance if so?
I totally get this, but a hackathon is a one time software build and you don't need to lean heavily on a schema if you've only got one state your data has ever existed in, MongoDB is great for templating like this.

However, when it comes to writing software that's meant to survive changes and versions the schema ends up providing a safety net that ensures you can ignore the data that exists and assume that the structure described by your schema is consistent. Data integrity is key to maintainability and those constraints are what keep your data clean.

Tough question but a good portion likely has to do with the divisiveness of the ecosystem. A bit selfish of the 3’ers but the utilitarian viewpoint is that if everyone comes to the same ecosystem then everyone can benefit.

You should get some help with your terror of these conversations. Having learned a couple of languages myself, and having tried just about everything, I have to agree with the author of the app that getting into real conversations is by far the fastest way to learn a language. Nothing comes anywhere close. The other tools like spaced repetition via Anki or another tool, are somewhat important. But they just help reinforce what you learn via conversation.

It can be done. I used to get nervous in a private business meeting with more than two people. Through practice and pushing myself I've made it all the way to speaking in public in front of hundreds of people on many occasions. Tackle your fear of these conversations first because it's an important life skill. I'm not saying you have to make it all the way to public speaking. But at least get very comfortable with small talk among a few people. There are even courses for it. Then learn a new language after.

Pain doesn't easily divide up in to long-term and short term. What do you call someone who typically manages their pain with tylenol and mental techniques, but sometimes has to use opioids to make it through the day? Many people with chronic pain find themselves in this situation, for the rest of their life.

Also, beware of false causation. The (extremely detrimental) effects of pain were not well circulated in the medical profession in the '80s. The more aggressive pain management that has occurred since is at least in part due to this sea change, and not merely "aggressive marketing". The "changes in government recommendations" did not occur by happenstance, nor were they solely motivated by pharma marketers.
