This just illustrates that surpassing "human level" performance is a silly and arbitrary benchmark, because there is no such thing as general human level performance. But I bet Kasparov would be pretty good at Go, and Sedol would be pretty good at chess.

Universality is the real hard problem of AI. In the long run, a mediocre AI that does a lot of different things is far more useful that most targeted "superhuman" AIs. Most domains simply don't require better-than-human performance, but could still reap tremendous benefits from automation.

> We also looked up whether our HBA used TRIM in its current configuration. It turns out, in RAID mode, the HBA did not support TRIM. We did do some trim-enabled testing with a different machine, but these results are hard to compare fairly. In any case, we can't currently enable TRIM on our production systems.

In our experience SSD write performance goes to sh*t if you don't regularly TRIM them.

Running fstrim once a day is enough to keep them healthy.

RAID cards not passing TRIM is a big problem for us too...

Not every company needs to achieve a billion dollar evaluation. This eat-the-world mentality is incredibly toxic. An an entrepreneur one should be satisfied with making tens of millions in revenue, but of course you can't stop there when VCs are involved.

FFS, that's called "fraud." Providing false information on a credit application is a criminal offense. Are you going to go to jail for it? Probably not, as long as you pay your bills. But it's 100% fraud and illegal and you can go to jail for it and people have.

Also, your accounts would be closed if they found out that you lied on your application. American Express, in particular, is known to conduct financial reviews and shut down accounts who can't prove their income.
But it's a policy that eliminates a food source for some other animal. Especially when we have very effective and safe insect repellants already, like Picaridin and Lemon Eucalyptus.
PostgreSQL still supports 32-bit platforms, heap and index files can get large enough that it's not feasible to mmap them into a 32-bit process. As far as the specific number of 64k though, I don't know why they choose that, writing 8 pages to disk at a time (especially sequentially) doesn't really take advantage of modern hardware well.

Interesting. This may explain a strange incident that I once encountered. One day I came home to my CSE-847 machine with SATA drives hooked to SAS expanders on an mpt device. The whole system was unresponsive and the drives were all as hot as a fresh pot of coffee. I immediately shut down the system and let the drives cool out on the concrete floor. Everything seemed to work later, but it was quite a scare. It was 12 2TB drives setup as 6 zraid2 mirrors.
Hello HN. My name is Mahesh, long time lurker here, a full stack developer and startup enthusiast. I've been working on a CLI based platform for freelancers to help improve their productivity. As it is a bigger and more time taking project, I started working on this smaller and hopefully useful invoicing tool. The plan is to integrate this into the core platform once it's ready.

If you regularly send out invoices as part of your work routine, you now have a more beautiful and readymade way of doing it. Would love to get some feedback and know about any more features that you'd like to see.

Thank you,
Mahesh.

> please do point out where i am wrong.

In reality, words are often used in ways that don't necessarily meet the dictionary definition in the strictest sense.

For example, I complained to my local advertising authority that mobile providers are using the word "unlimited" to mean "limited by our fair usage policy" and I was told that this is fine as long as 95% (I don't remember the exact percentage, maybe it was 99) of customers will never reach the limit so its effectively unlimited. That's not really what the english language word means, but hey... that's life. Same thing applies here: words are recycled to have different meanings.

I live in southeast Alaska, where bears are still well-established. Bears come into town on a regular basis, and they can be anywhere in the woods. I was high on a steep rocky mountain once, and heard a loud breathing sound in front of me. I thought I'd turn a corner and see a big mountain goat, but when I got around a large boulder I saw a giant cinnamon-colored bear. It turned and ran up the neighboring ridgeline to the summit of a 4000' mountain. That was when I learned bears really can be anywhere here.

It's a different feeling walking in a woods where you are not the apex predator. It's humbling, but it also tunes you in to your surroundings. I don't wear headphones in the woods; I watch and listen to the forest. I don't romanticize the experience, but I sure appreciate having the chance to experience the woods largely as our ancestors have, aside from the modern clothes we wear and communication devices we carry.

When I visit other places and walk in the woods or climb a mountain, it's an entirely different feeling. The woods feel empty, and I feel a little more dull. I don't know where to go with that; it's a sad state that I don't see any way back from, outside of pockets of wilderness being preserved.
No you can't. The CARD Act of 2009 explicitly forbids this. You can't include anyone else's income if you are under 21.

Even after you're 21 you're supposed to only include someone else's income if you have access to it. If your parents don't give you a stipend then you aren't supposed to include their income.

Visual studio is not the only tool that went online. Many MS office products went this route. AutoCAD did too. However, AC has an option to download offline help. The office products have an option to stay offline. It does not work that well, in my experience.

What you describe is the justification for state-run media versus newspapers, magazines, TV shows, movies, and games. All of these could be considered the same set of data from the state's point of view.

>When you're protecting property that only exists because we all agreed to have a certain kind of system, adjusting the rules of that system to suit the desires of "we all" so the prosperity (or property) said system creates is distributed slightly differently isn't exactly a failure to protect property.

Yes, yes it is. If it was voluntary, it wouldn't be, but what you're talking about is involuntary transfer of property from A->B.

>Since the things that wealth gains a person (material, influence, opportunity, psychological/ego support, health, and so on) are the entire reason anyone cares about wealth and not meaningful separable from "its own merits", of course.

So influence, opportunities and health are all negatives? I don't think I am understanding you.

You could take this argument and say that women shouldn't directly say that they were raped because it's taking justice into their own hands (by telling others about the misdeed rather than letting it happen in a court). The reason she was suspended was not because she "took justice into her own hands," it was because the photo was explicit and an algorithm automatically suspended the account.
It's not different than credit card companies giving payment histories to credit bureaus or insurance companies giving claims history to LexusNexis.
3 random guesses:

- most objects are larger than letters

- the details of most objects are less relevant than with lettering

- you can spend more time recognising each thing, whatever it is, without slowing yourself down so much that the task becomes intractable (when reading, you have to recognise, and correctly, a lot of letters per minute)
Agreed. Keep the word "Today".
News.google.com has long been my standard, but I feel like it is building a bit of a news bubble trying to recommend stories it thinks will interest me. And its recent move to show less detail per article on the page is also a step backward from what I prefer.
I used to worry about downvotes, now I find solace in having annoyed the downvoters.
Reversely what is so good about your IDE?
Check the Nature paper (and I think this is one of the biggest take-aways from AlphaGo Zero):

"Finally, it uses a simpler tree search that relies upon this single neural network to evaluate positions and sample moves, without performing any Monte Carlo rollouts."

In this new version, MCTS is not even used to evaluate a position! Speaking as a Go player, the ability for the neural network to accurately evaluate a position without "reading" ahead is phenomenal (again, read the Nature paper last page for details).

True. I regularly encounter words whose meanings in whatever context I don't understand. Usually, if a word sounds confusing or used in the wrong context, a quick Google search will clarify what I was missing. Sure its a bit irritating when words are recycled to have a different meaning, but its rarely an issue in practice, in my experience and opinion.
good form. this is excellent.
Article doesn’t mention what I believe is one mod tool: shadow banning accounts based on IP. I had a bunch of accounts get shadowbanned for no evident reason and after a while I deduced it was based on using the account from a particular cafe’s WiFi. I just created this account and if I go use it from that place I will be banned again by some automated process.
I tried helm, but it induced slight lag, bigger loading times, and I didn't like that. I had big ass emacs configuration, it felt heavy and sluggish. That was the moment where I declared bankruptcy and started from beginning where I created 250 LOC config, with no big plugins like helm.

> I'll use an IDE for that.

These are usually attempts at reducing the need for IDEs, while keeping the familiar vim editing. With no exceptions so far, no IDE plugin (or emacs plugin, for that matter) has been able to emulate vim editing well enough to replace vim as my primary editor.

Perhaps when neovim (or anything else) is able to give me native vim capabilities in a more extensible or powerful editor, I'll switch. But we're just not there yet.
Ah interesting! With that being true, then yes, I'd be surprised that it isn't faster too.

What about memory usage? That's an un-appreciated axis, IMO: for example, all of crates.io takes ~30mb resident, which is roughly the overhead for MRI itself, let alone loading code.

I agree that if you never get down votes, then you're not adding maximum value.
Less than 2% of the US's population works in agriculture. Nearly 20% live in rural areas. We are no where close to the point where we need to worry about having too few people living in rural areas to be able to grow food.
Sure, so we'd expect the class of people who would hire a lawyer to be disproportionately represented in jail. This statistic though is about people who are being defended at trial (or in the judicial system) and the rate at which they go to prison. In other words, even if there were a million people defended by public defender and only a thousand by private lawyers, comparing the likelihood for each class to go to prison is still informative.
Because everyone is a super awesome top performer? I think not, if anything the right way would be to have a balanced team with each person being experts in there own field.

Also, from my experience going from meh to top performer boils down to motivation and not skill. Among some other minor things.

While you don't want co-workers knowing what you make, I assume because you think/know you make more than them? what happens when you find out you messed up and everyone you work with makes more than you?

Regardless of that answer as long as wages are taboo to talk about or "fosters competition" there will ALWAYS be a wage gap. whether it's because of conscious or unconscious bias.

And I get it, right know I'm the lowest paid worker on my team, while generally outshining the rest on my skill. I just don't have a degree, and not that much "professional" time in the field. <-- but that's another problem in it's own right.

Very nice, that is one of the most annoying things about Jekyll. I know i'm in the minority of users here who is on Windows, but setting up a Ruby in environment is a pain. Nice work, the site is also well designed.
It is. I'm referring to:

- A running gag that, iirc, covered multiple seasons, about the 'indestructibility' of a red 90s Toyota Hilux. Performing destructive stunts and then driving away with minimal/no repairs. No other cars were involved in this segment.

- A special, hour-long episode involving a grueling trip to the pole in a fleet of brand new, red Toyota Hiluxes.

Whichever way you look at it, this was fantastic advertising and brand reinforcement for Toyota.

But the whole point of 'set hidden' is that the current buffer is hidden (rather than unloaded/closed) when you switch to a different one, so there's no prospect of losing unsaved changes -- unless you :qa! without checking your buffer list first.

WhatsApp and Instagram were innovative but were acquired.

The only reason Instagram isn’t a $100B company in its own right is because Facebook had a better vision for it than investors. If Instagram were able to raise at a $5B valuation rather then be acquired, then Facebook would now have a serious competitor.

Similarly, Facebook messenger wasn’t as popular as WhatsApp.

Facebook could have been acquired by Yahoo or Microsoft but wasn’t.
I've long come to accept that HN is a curated source, the voting is a kind of false-democracy to make it appear more democratic than it is.

I've just done something like this recently and it's not as easy as you might think. It is easy to make a thing happen quickly with a few lines of code, but making it reliable and repeatable is much more time consuming.

This looks like very favorable pricing if you don't need certain features.

But, if you need support for setting: location, turning on flash, proxies, and https://urlbox.io/ is also very useful.
