This is true! Overfitting is definitely one of the biggest problems with deep learning. Some techniques to avoid it have been developed, such as dropout (introducing noise) and early stopping. But in general this is why deep learning requires huge amount of data, a deep learning model will overfit if not given enough data. That is also why (at this time) it only performs well for certain problems where the ratio between available data and problem complexity is high enough.

I think the price will skyrocket anyway, because there is a limited supply. In a way, I believe it could be like an epic short squeeze. You have people wanting to buy in (retail + institutional money is coming in) over the next few years.

If you take the example of oil -- once the price of a barrel goes over a certain threshold price, you'll go and explore new wells that were previously not profitable. And you will eventually get more supply after a while. That's just not the case with Bitcoin (and probably Ethereum after next year).
"As a society, we collectively agree that gold is worth something because we agree that it is worth something." No, like you say, gold have industrial use, usage of the product imply the value of the product. Gold are a <b>rare</b> metal, this is where gold worth something...
Would a country whose currency isn't worth the paper it's printed on have the infrastructure to use BTC? Would they be able to afford the transaction fees?

BTC would really need the support of a developed government, but those governments aren't eager to give up control of their currency.

If it's just to prevent that, you could just have a "copy=false" attribute on the tag, which browsers would respect. No need for proprietary encryption nonsense.
Depends on if there is a kind of liquidity crunch. People could be called on to sell BTC to offset problems that arise out of an issue with other markets.
No, the cost of DRM do not repay itself by preventing enough users. There have been tests cases, studies, and the repeated conclusion I keep seeing is that DRM has no correlation to the revenue from individual music, games and films. It has however a correlation to platform and user retention, which is what this article continuously refers to.

To take a few examples, remember when the European Commission hired researches to do a study on the effect of piracy? What about the revenue from itunes after it went DRM free? Sale of music that is available on youtube after it went HTML5? Revenue from music, film, and games on the longer term after aggressive blocking of torrent sites? What about the long term effect from anti-piracy/DRM laws?

The whole EFF article ends on the conclusion that DRM will not exist if their only purpose is to prevents enough users from copying the product. That effect won't be worthwhile enough to pay the cost of DRM. Only a sticky platform that prevent competition will bring the revenue to validate investing into DRM.
Sounds interesting, now go build it. Don’t just tell others what to do, lead by example and prove that it’s viable.
They definitely shouldn’t because netflix doesn’t need their help to succeed. They should make upstart netflix competitors happy however, to grow an ecosystem.

The frustrating part is that my choice to be a law-abiding media consumer subscribing to a bunch of services makes me get a worse service in many ways than a pirate. I can’t use a player of my choice, i can’t have a single UI on top of all media, I can’t rely on content remaining available. Pirates don’t have these problems. The DRM legislation and media conglomerates power ensures that the market can’t fix itself. You can’t make a netflix competitor without DRM because you’ll never get access to licenses for popular culture products. Even had the W3C refused to deal, the situation wouldn’t be meaningfully better.

Many cases, you reach peak times for several hours per week/day. With GCP scale up and super fast, and when done, tearing down and saving money.

Also, from my experience, when you reach a certain level of operations, you discuss with Google sales team and you get a significant discount for bandwidth.

From the title I was expecting much more than just DRM. 20 years ago the web was a wildly diverse place, compared to today's web, even though there were so many fewer websites and people online. This is a substantially greater loss, but whatever. When you need to play politics everything becomes sensational and your primary argument is the center of the universe.
It is quite a common theme on HN that actual infrastructure people speak up against Intel ME. (for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15796392)

The tone is always along the lines: The advantages of ME for server monitoring are negligible, but the risks are huge, so they wish they could get all their hardware without ME.

I wonder if there is any way for you to unite? Maybe to change Intel's mind. Or to change your manager's mind, to be able to vote with your company's wallet against ME.

Would that be feasible?

Given the amount of politics meddling that Facebook,Twitter Google and Amazon do especially out of the US, i would consider THEM the actual state-controlled service.

It's hard to say actually - sorta like "google is super successful and gives out outlandish perks/benefits to its employees ergo it's good to provide such perks/benefits".

Where is the direction of causality here, and is there even such? Maybe the perks in the above example actually harm google but their basic business is so strong as to cover for it (just an example, that's not what I'm actually arguing)?

you sir are so much out of touch with real world (both in IT and medical care) it makes me wonder where do your misconceptions come from. Maybe just trolling? I don't think even some weird SF bubble would justify this huge offset.

I am a software dev for last 13 years, with proper IT degree from university, working in Geneva, and neither me nor my colleagues would fulfill any of those criteria. What you expect doesn't matter a single bit to design, evolve and integrate core banking systems for example, and millions of other IT engineering jobs.

My fiancee is a doctor in Swiss hospital and she could just laugh at your ridiculous expectations in medcare too. And that is Switzerland.
You're missing an important thing - that Go is trivial to simulate. AG can play millions of self games relatively cheaply. A human-level intelligence would need to run trials on a simulation of the real world, which is impossible to create as of yet. That is why the author was insisting on the environment (the world or a simulator) - that the environment is the bottleneck. You can think of the environment as a dynamic dataset. You know that data is crucial in AI, thus, the lack of sufficiently complex data would hamper AGI.

The fact that there is no "universal environment" means there can be no general intelligence. There can be just environment specific intelligences (situated intelligence, as the author said). The concept of AGI is just a reification of narrow AI - an illusion, there is no such thing.
> "growth" (i.e. inflation) before the inevitable crash

What you need to know is this: Financial crashes are an eternal cycle, they will never go away. Unless there is fundamental societal change.

Here's why: Financial crashes are business to a couple of extremely powerful/rich people. After every crash, assets are undervalued. Rich people have the financial cushion to not be impacted in the slightest way by such crashes. Which means they are in a position to purchase these undervalued assets from poorer people. The rich-poor imbalance grows further, as these undervalued assets regain their "real" value. That's the reason why these crashes are manufactured. Which means a couple of powerful/rich people will continually steer society in this direction, for example by removing laws that were put in place as safeguards.

Edit: And no, this is not conspiracy, it's pure economics.

My guess is the price would fall quite a bit, since the value of BTC currently is largely speculative. Like stocks, there would be a frenzy to turn these risky investments into cash ASAP.

Stranger stuff has happened though. Maybe the value would hold, and BTC really does become the "new gold".
Hey thx for the comment. Per the post, I already stated I don't much experience yet and that will change come next mo. But wanted to simply emphasize that after working with RN that I'm quite excited about Flutter.

Re the JS hate, it's more of "JS exhaustion" but yes I'm strongly opinionated. Hopefully WebAssembly will cure this down the road who knows. For example, it's almost 2018 and folks are still trying to settle on something as fundamental as React Native navigation. I guess with the dev landscape now the JS love/hate varies.

Re the hiring pool that's a great point. But hiring JS devs sometimes is like hiring PHP devs: if you're doing something simple it's no problem, but more complex then you get lots of horrible candidates to sift through until you hopefully manage to find someone good/with a proper programming education. But I guess it also greatly depends on the hiring location too.

Re adoption, I think if you're a web dev already, you're used to it, but if you're a backend dev or native mobile dev it's something hard to deal with.

I guess I can point out some situations:

1. People who can tolerate JS but no mobile dev exp yet

-> React Native is a great option.

2. Existing native mobile engineers used to compiled languages like Swift or Java and who want to pick up a hybrid dev framework

-> Flutter, (while still in alpha) has a ton of potential.

Note that anyone who knows Ruby, Go, C#, etc etc can easily pick up Dart in less than a day.

As stated in my original post, I do plan to re-write some of my apps with Flutter and I will be reporting about my experiences for better or worse.
I've used Online (the company that also ownes scaleway, but their business line), Hetzner and OVH before.

Hetzner and OVH have much better peering than online (ofc still worse than GCP), especially noticeable when users are in Asia Pacific and you have only servers in the west.

Online is significantly cheaper, but well, the peering issue.

Generally I prefer Hetzner for compute-heavy workloads (especially their ML server offer with an i7-6700 and GTX1080 for 99€ is awesome) or networking, for most of the rest, I'd just go with Online.

Important for me is that I can just rent a handful servers, try out building something, fail, and try again, always knowing that it won't cost the world, and allowing me to experiment. If it fails, I can just try something else, if it works, I can just scale up. Doesn't have to be perfect, just has to be enough to let me fail early and often.
I read your comment before reading the post and you gave me the wrong impression of what happened.

He did not "call the tech support line for a copyright infringement". He contacted the company to ask for the proper contact information to deal with this problem. This is not unreasonable - he did not demand the tech support to address this problem, he just asked for the right venue to do so.

After that, he was talking with corporate, who did not respond to him. I'm sure hiring a lawyer and sending a proper letter would give him better results, but if you trying to solve something amicably, emailing through the official channel is very reasonable.
Ericsson Mobility Report – 2017 edition
The historical pattern is each time an economic downturn occurs they use more aggressive interventionism. The next time is different? No.

The "economists" you're talking about don't matter. They have no voting power over monetary policy. All fed govenors that control monetary policy at all the major central banks speak daily about how inflation is subdued, possibly a long-term phenomenon, & indicates plenty of slack in the labor force. If I drank every time Janet Yellen said "inflation remains well anchored for the foreseeable future" in just 2017 then I'd be passed out asphyxiated. Ben Bernanke himself just recently authored a piece indicating the next series of tools to use in future crisis since rate cuts won't have as much impact at historical low levels (surprise more aggressive! price fixing & negative rates in the US). He did a tour in Japan discussing the use of "Helicopter Money" in the next crisis. Basically anybody that has any ability to control monetary policy is running away from what you think & say at an accelerating pace. They have a deep bench of folks to maintain that groupthink too so don't expect one of your enlightened economists to be in a position of power any time soon.

Economists don't matter in determining real life, real world monetary policy. Fed governors & politicians do.. repeat that to yourself in front of a mirror because you are confused.

Remember QE didn't just happen. It was TARP, QE1, QE2, Operation TWIST, QE3 (open ended). Across the pond it was QE, Corporate bond buying, negative interest rates, yield pegs. It always progresses every single time. In fact, the burden of proof is on you to find an economic down turn with decreasing interventionism on behalf of the central banks.

Japan started QE in 2001. Now they have over 1 quadrillion (yes that's real not me being tongue in cheek) in debt primarily owned by the BOJ & the BOJ now owns a stunning >70% of the entire domestic ETF market & are still buying at record clips. They are outright buying stocks! The SNB is actively buying stocks.. in fact they own a shit ton of Apple. Why is the SNB printing money & buying Apple? Look it up they issue the equivalent of a 13d form.. it will blow your nips off at how much more extreme they get every single day. I can cite every single thing & will if you don't believe me but simple google searches from the central banks own research firms are where I get my data.

The next crisis will have any or all of the following MORE EXTREME central bank "tools" deployed: capital controls, selling bans, negative rates (possibly on depositors), outright buying of stocks via ETF's, outright buying of corporate debt by the NY-FED, price fixing of 10 year treasuries, helicopter money.

> Because we live in a world..

We live in a world consisting of different, distinct societies and community groups. In some of those groups "women are treated as less important/intelligent than me"; But this is not true of all groups - so whose norms do we assume in online conversation?

> we must try not to promote that stereotype with lies

There is a difference between "sounds like" and "is". If you believe a lie is being told, refute it rather than attack a persons' character.

> So things like .. are ok to say?

In relevant context, if it exists, yes. Neither of those things seem like they would be relevant to this thread.

> All the articles posted in HN about salaries..

That's still something you had to provide evidence for, and couldn't just be assumed. So long as it's an objective subject, the personal attack is not justified.

Plus, there are HN articles that "debunk" the gender pay/wage gap too.

> the gap only happens with age, >35, where the position is important (it means less women in top positions)

Who says that's what it means. "over 35" means exactly just "over 35". Your interpretation that it's "top positions" as the relevant factor is just one explanation. "men work longer hours over longer periods of time" is another explanation, that is not refuted by your example.

The question wasn't backed, but neither was your own until just now (after the PA).

There is no way to definitively answer "How [the claim] is not disrespectful" since "disrespect" is subjective. It seems uncommon to treat something that is true or plausible as disrespectful though, so let's focus on plausibility instead.

Not saying it will be Bitcoin. It could be Ethereum, or some other crypto with (very) low transaction fees.

I don't think Bitcoin is a currency anyway.

Building a crypto banking service that can be controlled through a phone (e.g. in Africa) should have tremendous value given the very high inflation in some countries there.

I don't understand why everyone seems to think Gnome 3 is a tablet UI. I had a touchscreen laptop for a couple of years and my experience is that it really isn't.

It's actually not bad as a keyboard-driven UI, though: it's a rare event that I'll trigger the overlay with the mouse, or even interact with it at all with the mouse beyond dragging windows into different workspaces or dragging workspaces around (the latter being the one thing I don't think you can do with the keyboard).
We're well past that point (with AWS) and we get a meaningful discount, but it's in no way competitive on a per-TB or per-Gbps basis with a dedicated colo.

It's also higher quality of service IMO. When AWS gets their daily DDoS traffic, they manage it and we never notice nor care. With smaller colo providers, they are much cheaper, but if your neighbor is getting DDoS'd, you notice it. I assume Azure and GCP are similar.
I don't know if it's even possible anymore, but a Slim Jim is even cheaper than that.

For those who don't know what a Slim Jim is (not the snack):
