I'm pretty sure GP was complaining about the lack of libraries and the breaking changes between verions. Julia is much younger, has a smaller community and still in active development as a language, so it is very likely that you have to build and maintain your own code.

With SciPy, the community is much bigger and present in every imaginable scientific field. Whenever someone comes up with a new algorithm, there's a python implementation before you know it. I'm not going to pretend that this isn't a huge added value, but I find the way GP phrased themselves a little bit annoying, as it implies the language Julia is is the issue. It is honestly a more beautiful and more efficient language to program in.

(also, these days you can call out to Python and R without significant overhead, so you can use any package out there; Julia has a pretty good interop story)

I call BS on that number. Probably half or more of those users are fake/bots, just like on Twitter.

If I can casually browse through my friends' friend list or posts on groups and see obvious fake/bot profiles with ridiculously easy to spot names, then FB has a huge problem. They don't even "catch" the obvious ones.

Some users are businesses, too. I used to report both of those groups and then wait for them to get removed. It happened once only. I don't bother anymore.
Flaws in IEEE #P1735 electronics standard expose intellectual property
Are there any plans to do this for Chess?

I imagine that this is an iteration of the Alpha Go engine, people working on this are very current with Alpha Go.

If Chess is similar, then wouldn't DeepMind be able to bootstrap game knowledge. Perhaps this isn't a big goal, but Chess is Chess after all.
Why does the title say mysterious if we know it's monkey pox? Is it because we don't understand the virus mechanism or what?
So, as usual, this is clickbait and factually wrong.

While I agree that I was surprised for a moment that the iPhone uses successful unlocks via passcode as an opportunity to train the Face ID model, it's no "flaw" and it certainly does not allow "other person to unlock".

iPhones are single user devices. If two people use them (authorized via passcode) then the iPhone creates a FaceID model mixing both faces.

A bit unexpected, but no security flaw.
Well, the output of meteor build is a normal node application, so in that regard it's just as easy or difficult to dockerize/deploy like any other node app.

Honestly, this looks like a very serious (non-political) analysis and the recommendations look very good: use regulation where necessary (eg against bubbles and fraud), use markets where they can work best (eg to foster competitiveness). Being able to follow up on these is where the difficulties come.

He's done very well for an employee #1 (vs a founder).

Reminds me of a "startup" I worked for in the dotcom boom. I was good friends with employee #1, he brought me on board as something like employee #30. When we IPO'd the founders made hundreds of millions (which they subsequently lost all of in the dotcom crash lol). But we were talking and his equity package was basically the same as mine - we both made between 6 months and a year's salary in the IPO - a nice chunk of change to be sure, but my friend had worked just as hard as any of the founders and made sacrifices in terms of the comfortable corporate job he could have had... This is a story repeated time and time again. It very, very rarely makes sense to be an early employee. Be a founder, or come on board later.

No, the point is that in 1984 you had doublespeak, where people used words in ways that were contradictory to their meaning[0] - in the way that the GP claims that prohibiting filtering is somehow a form of censorship, when censorship is literally a form of filtering.

Your analogy of a chimera is a poor one because Facebook doesn't produce content, it is a vehicle for it.

If I read the article correctly, I could make a manifestly unlawful comment in this textbox by saying something libelous about you and presumably make ycombinator liable for a fine because you're a German citizen. What's more, under the law the burden of proof of the libel is placed on ycombinator, not you, or even myself who produced the content in the first place. Incredible.

Others in the comments here have pitched an important point. Because some parts of the legal system have been hijacked and these abuses are happening does not imply that the system is bad. It means that people of ill intent have grabbed the reigns.

No doubt it will be very strong by human standards, but it won't be competitive with current top programs based on alpha beta (currently duking it out in the unofficial engine world championship at http://tcec.chessdom.com/live.php).

Still, it would be interesting to see if can surpass the human world champion...
First of all, Go is not 'solved'. While the AI plays better than the best humans, it does not play perfectly (nor will any AI program in the forseeable future).

If by 'solving' you mean, developing a strong AI program to play chess, I think the reason they haven't done it because chess is easier to solve than Go. The best computer chess engines are already a lot better than the best humans. Thus, there is not much to gain for Google by finding a new approach.

There have been attempts to use similar approaches for chess, but they al seemed to perform worse than the traditional approach for chess. (Alpha-beta search with a hand-written evaluation function and null-move pruning).

The differences between Go and Chess that might explain this are:

- Chess has a smaller branching factor (the number of legal moves is around 40 in a typical position in chess, whereas it's over 100 in a typical position for Go)

- A chess position is easier to evaluate. Simply counting the material already gives a decent evaluation in a lot of cases. This supplemented by hand-written rules gives a solid evaluation of a position

- The average game of chess is shorter. A game of chess lasts between 20 and 80 moves, whereas a game of Go lasts around 200 games. This makes it a lot more feasible to extend the search far enough to oversee the consequences of each move in chess when compared to Go

A good technique is to design life so you're efficient by default. For example I live 2.5 miles from work on the other side of the city centre, so getting a bus takes an age, thus I run or walk everyday to and from, because it's the easiest, fastest option. It's a small thing but 5+ miles walking everyday keeps you relatively fit and because it's the easiest option it's my default.

Similar idea is to delete your newsfeeds and stop posting on social media. You'll find yourself looking for distraction and having nothing you do. So you'll get back to work. Or if at home you'll do dishes, read that book etc.

Another side of it is perception. As much as we try not to we compare ourselves with our peers we all do to an extent. A good technique to defeat this is to have hobbies or side projects completely unrelated to your main career. For me my career is engineering and my hobby theatre. If I'm ever jealous of a peer at work I remind myself that I can sing and act far better than them. On the flip side If I don't get a cast in a show I remind myself I have a great career, at one of the best employers in my city. Admittedly it's healthier to try not compare in the first place but if you do give into it that's a way to do it. :)

I really hope I didn't make a mistake.
I call this "externalization of costs"

I call it converting social capital into financial capital. People had friends, shared experiences, went to events and so on before Facebook somehow inserted itself into all these interactions.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your interest!

Off the CRDT libraries we analysed, Y.js was the one we picked up as it very modular, so that we could create our own connector and database layer.

These are all open-source: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/y-ipfs-connector and the encryption layer wrapping the database adaptor: https://github.com/pgte/y-indexeddb-encrypted/tree/encrypted

About the richtextdetails, the CRDT is based off of Quill.js deltas (https://github.com/quilljs/delta), composed by an array of such operations.

Anyway, this is all interim work, and we plan on making this independent of any specific library by implementing a generic CRDT on top of IPFS DAG and Pubsub APIs. If you're interested you can follow / chime in here: https://github.com/ipfs/research-CRDT/issues/11

The bug was "we blocked data as we habitually do, but we reasoned incorrectly on what to block," not "we blocked data by accident, blocking itself is a bug". Same outcome, radically different rationale.
Fine for you and me, maybe, but a decade ago I acquired iPads for my mother and grandfather, as the constant windows support calls were maddening.

Over the last six weeks it’s felt like 2008 again - “no, I don’t know why they did that. Yes, it’s different. No, no reason”.

I’m not averse to change, but they’ve shifted bits of UI that habitual users relied upon, and done things are really inobvious to a neophyte - try getting your non-tech relative to save a pdf from safari on iOS - and as a corollary - power touch has given rise to a slew of blind mystery interaction. It’s just not as thoughtful as it was.
You are dodging the questions.

You don't even have to move to another country, salaries vary wildly throughout a country and there are obvious outliers think NYC, SV or even London. And then we are talking about contracting/freelancing/remote work.
If you want to have a job done, why do you care what is the purchasing power of the contract fee in a given country?

By the way, if dev A and dev B works for the same company on the same project in the same position one in location A and the other in location B, they should be equally compensated.
Seems reasonable to me. If you're going to run a bar you must make sure you stop fights that break out and don't serve people who are already drunk etc.
Very little map checking. People generally know where public land is, as it is typically some sort of park or rec area.

Otherwise, land is mostly considered private and you stay off unless you have approval of the owner.

Perhaps, but it would have been better for china itself in the long term. The worldwide crash would have also provided political cover for its leaders, while if it crashes now, they are pretty much on their own in taking blame.

Another comment here claims that that photo is mislabeled and not an Amazon property.
>But in your example it seems reasonable to me to just block the post where it is illegal.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "just block the post" but it seems the algorithm for writing:

is_illegal(image, country)==true

.... is currently not possible to write with accuracy. (Relevant XKCD:
https://xkcd.com/1425/)

If it's a large-scale service used by a billion people posting user-generated content, you have to rely on algorithms to filter it instead of depending on users manually flagging posts. Users themselves don't know their own country's laws and would flag things like the Vietnam naked girl photo as "illegal" when it really wasn't.

Even if a machine learning algorithm can be trained to flag a specific cartoon of 3 religious figures having sex as illegal, there are near-infinite variations of other drawings showing the same thing that would get passed as "legal". In fact, it doesn't even have to be a totally different comic by a different artist... just changing 1 pixel might do it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15577885
Hehe, I can feel your pain. Had a discussion just a few days ago with some guys demonstrating the typical enthusiasm about cloud stuff, especially AWS. Because after all, Netflix is using it, and they create 1/3rd of all Internet traffic, right?

There's this very widespread misconception about Netflix being a monolithic service running on Amazons' cloud infrastructure, even though the truth is that just the "rather boring" routine stuff like billing, view history tracking, suggestions, everything necessary to show the UI is running there. Netflix does a good job at this, but after all it's not that impressive when you've architected some distributed systems yourself. Not even their extreme take on the microservices concept - that is after all just a nice way of letting their devs do "their thing" in the way they want with as little restrictions from the environment as possible (which basically only works because they clearly have above-average-competence devs who can deal with these degrees of freedom).

What's really crazy is the way they squeeze unimaginable amounts of bytes per second out of modern hardware and into the internet infrastructure. They saturate 100Gbit links that usually serve an aggregation of many boxes in a datacenter with just ONE box! This is way beyond what even most above-average devs are capable of doing - you NEED old-school guys which still managed to stay on top of the crazy stack created by the evolution of hardware and low-level software in the last decade. There's not many of those out there, and Netflix apparently managed to catch a good bunch of them. These guys do the magic, and the magic they do never touches that damn Amazon Cloud. It just floats way above it.
BTW. Netflix is in the process of transitioning to TLS (https) transport. Not because they need it for any reason, but because shady advertisers keep snooping connections and using that to profile users. Netflix is tired of being accused of selling user data. My understanding is that the movie was already encrypted, but that stream could be fingerprinted to identify which movie it was.

Using TLS is a lot more expensive so that costs them money, so I have to respect them for that.

Grandma's TV is still unencrypted, but anyone who updates their client is protected.

They do have to deal with a whole ton of legacy clients.
Yes, that works. (I can start using this more). As a suggestion maybe you should add the writing direction to the top options. I would not have thought to check the right click menu for anything other than cut/copy/paste, spell check and other less important things.
Do you have a source for it being "cracked"?

Circumvented sure, but the actual cryptography components haven't been cracked as far as I am aware.
> They can save me from a typo in the web search

Well, I'm not so sure. For example, if you search, in French, for the correctly spelled phrase "Avez-vous aidé quelqu'un aujourd'hui" they suggest the wrong spelling "Avez-vous aider quelqu'un aujourd'hui", which is a grammatical abomination.
