This is not the same method at all and this is much more reliable. For King Tut, they used ground penetration radar, which is very hard to interpret. Here: (1) this is confirmed by 3 independent teams using 3 different detection technologies, (2) we used the same statistical criteria as for discoveries in particle physics (deviation 5 sigma from the model).

In addition, we clearly see the new void on Nagoya's data (Fig.2).

Unfortunately, cosmic-ray muons cannot be used in King Tut tomb because we can only see "above us" (the muons come from the sky).
I'm not convinced that's true. The government can get ASICs produced more easily than they can produce quality GPUs. GPU procurement at the scale necessary seems like it would be very hard.

A) XMR Tx set to low priority will usually ship in next block (within 2 mins) with 5 ring size at fee of 30cent. Not sure what you were doing.

B) ZKSnarks will never deprecate XMR, they bring the caveats of trusted being required, inability to audit coin supply and inherently DO NOT provide fungibility.

It’s no wonder xmr price is in the doldrums. Even the smart guys on HN are misinformed about it.
> It seems increasingly that web content is being delivered in video form. That itself is hostile to some people. Some of us want the freedom to read (or scan quickly).

And what if some of us want the freedom to watch? Maybe I'm illiterate? Just like you, I could say that putting something in writing instead of a video is 'hostile' if it doesn't meet my preferences.

Talking about 'hostile' is hysterical.
This is totally anecdotal, but I want to post it here. In 4th, 5th, and 6th grade, the math curriculum was extremely boring. Lots and lots of repetitive basic operations. Day after day.

But all around the edge of the room was optional extra-credit work. Different teachers had different things. One had worksheets. One had piles and piles of Games magazines. One had puzzles.

There was a huge contrast between my mindset when doing boring pencil problems and my mindset when doing fun logic puzzles. But those mindsets would often overlap. I'd be constantly looking for patterns in the math problems (to avoid boredom). And some of the games magazine brain puzzlers could only be solved with repetitive trial-and-error grunt work.

My gut sense is that when it comes to teaching and learning, boredom is not a thing to be avoided, but a thing to be harnessed.

I'll have to read this Bored and Brilliant book and see if it has any evidence to support or contradict that belief.

What Is Your Political Loss Function?
No, the problem I was pointing at is that you want to change a part of the image (horse into zebra), but the style transfer GAN learned to map pixels from one space into another. So it knows it has to change the colour of some things, and add stripes here and there, and also probably there too. But it isn't consistent with the stripes (you can see in some gifs how the pattern suddenly changes and adjusts), and it doesn't recognize (segment) the horse as the only relevant thing that has to be changed.

But that's not bad per se about style transfer. It's an interesting technique, but if you want to convert all horses to zebras in an image, that seems to be a bit too general for current-generation GAN architectures. Maybe it can be improved upon, or a different, novel architecture is required, and not just something you can solve by throwing more data at it.

For me, it is really the circuitousness that people will go through to avoid saying anything that might be taken as damaging to somebody's feels. It's exhausting, and confusing, and I wish people would just cut the shit and say what they mean.

But my dad was ex-military, then a logging contractor, then a heavy equipment mechanic, and I grew up working with him.

If somebody is fucking up, you let them know in no uncertain terms, because somebody could get hurt.

I would argue that the best response to an expert telling you that you are wrong is to fix the problem. While your feelings do matter, the stability of the kernel matters more, and you cannot discount Linus's message because you think it is too emotional in tone. At the end of the day, Linus is right, Linus created the project, Linus is leading the project, and he is using strong language to inform you that he needs John to change his approach to this problem for the sake of the project.

On a slightly more pragmatic note, Linus would not be angry if John hadn't been trying to break Rule Number 1 for three weeks in a row, so an alternative solution is to simply not break the rules. Granted, if you disagree with the rules on a fundamental level, that doesn't work--so, third solution: leave and start your own project.

This is why Python is so successful, and yet you've never heard anything about "Python fatigue." Being "Pythonic" (which as a proxy I will define as not needlessly flouting the principles that `python -mthis` prints out) is valued by most open source projects and most heavy Python users.

With respect to your complaints, they are not "arbitrary biases," they are all the same conscious decision on the part of Guido to favor the use of comprehension syntax over higher-order functions. See https://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=98196

You might disagree with that decision and prefer another language, but it is not arbitrary at all.

It is true that traditional languages lump local variables and return information in the same stack. But the difference is only in the way this is handled by the program. In traditional languages the programmer has no idea how parameters are passed in the stack and the compiler does everything. In Forth this is made explicit, but on the other hand there are no formal parameters to worry about (notice that Forth can use local variables if you want, it is just not the idiomatic way).

I can only speak as a manager who a) has a tech background, and b) deliberately founded a remote-only company, but it's really not that bad. With a good video provider (we use zoom) we barely even notice any friction. If you commit and take it seriously, there are solutions for almost everything. The most challenging part I would say is the sort of freewheeling collaborative brainstorming type meetings, and the sort of random overheard serendipitous conversations. Some of that happens in slack, some in zoom, but we do have to be more deliberate about it. But the benefits more than outweigh the drawbacks.

I don't think it's a problem with the Creator conjecture itself, but with the theological encrustations, lacking anything resembling real-world evidentiary support, that people keep attaching to that conjecture. Example: Compare the elaborate theology, christology, and soteriology of the Apostle's Creed and the Nicene Creed, on the one hand, against the pretty-simple statements attributed in the Synoptic Gospels to Y'shua of Nazareth, a.k.a. Jesus. (I discount heavily the statements attributed to him in the Fourth Gospel [0].)

I think the problem is one of economics.

The SV culture made it valuable for startups to amass a large amount of users.

Where as before this bubble started, it was more profitable for development shops to build (and sell) software that anyone can use to host their own site/forum/whatever.

This might not be the entire solution, but I think it would be a step in the right direction:

We need more products that are developed for people to deploy on their own private servers. They have to have some very compelling points that I think are still lacking in many existing solution:

- They have to be really really fast. Nothing in "python" or "nodejs" or whatever.

- They have to be really really easy to deploy. No requiring a separate database server such as mysql. Just use SQLite. Also, no copying over of tons of files. Just a single executable. All other data should live in the database (sqlite file). Maybe have two database files: one for user generated content, and one for bundling application resources (images, etc). I'm not exactly sure what's the best setup, but something along those lines.

- They have to be profitable for people who develop them.

This is more of a cultural issue.

I love open source, but requiring all software to be "free" means that it's much more profitable to create a product for yourself only and try to lure as many users as possible, just like facebook.

To this end, I think something like the physical source initiative makes a lot of sense: if you buy the software, you have the right to make changes to it. But you don't have the right to also copy it and distribute it.
