I will add that this effect is broader than just reading aloud. Memory is incredibly tied to place and time - everytime you try to memorise abstract information you are mostly remembering your location and events going on in the background (birds chirping in the trees, dog barking, light streaming through the window, the room temperature, etc, etc).

If you really want to remember abstract information try to vary the background environment as much as possible. Go over the material in as many different locations as possible, with as many different outside cues as possible. Doing this the different environments cancel out leaving only the information you want to remember.

Ask HN: I will teach myself computer science in 2018. Who wants to join?
I am a freelance web dev, bootcamp graduate. I often feel like a fraud when I build my projects as I often miss the correct computer science foundations to understand deeply the topics I am dealing with. This is why I will dedicate my 2018 year to teaching myself CS. I will follow the Teach Yourself CS curriculum (https://teachyourselfcs.com/) and will try to go through it in 1 year.

Who would like to join me in the challenge? Maybe we could create a community?

Here is a blog post where I explain my approach:

That's my favorite part of Bitcoin, the fact that it can evolve over time.

If it's found that deflationary really won't work, and it's genuinely hurting the usage and adoption of the currency, and it's in the current users of bitcoin's best interest to do so, it can be turned into an inflationary asset.

Flaws can and are fixed in it, and because those changes can't be pushed through by some appointed authority without overwhelming majority from all involved parties, you don't need to worry about this ability to drastically change being unfairly pushed upon you.

The white paper doesn't discuss wealth distribution at all. Bitcoin is a critique of money involving trust in entities not party to a transaction, and not much else. Where this leads us as far as far as wealth distribution goes is potentially interesting, but was never evangelized by the white paper or the community that built it.

The idea that money should be distributed more broadly than 1000 people controlling 40% of it sounds really nice, but it is missing the level of formalism that Bitcoin brings to the question of money.

> I don't think resisting arrest qualifies

This pull quote isn't related to your main point, but to digress a bit on it...

The state, having a presumed monopoly on the legitimate use of pre-emptive force, reacts this way to application of laws, no? For example - there is a law that says that I can't plant pink flowers or sell looseys or whatever. I violate that law. The progression of consequences subsequently goes like this:

o I get a fine. I don't pay it

o I get a fine on that fine. And a stern warning. I don't pay it.

o They send a note or an armed-or-not person to invite me to go spend a few days in a metal box. I do not go.

o They send armed persons to forcibly retrieve me to put me in that metal box. I resist.

o They apply overwhelming force to ... well, force me. I resist more.

o They kill me.

It does NOT matter what the law is (chewing bubble gum, paying taxes, open container, lemonade stand licensure, drinking a beer outside of 7-11), the sequence of escalation is largely the same.

How can we NOT expect cops to kill us? That's what the state is - that's what it does - that's its function when faced with non-compliance with whatever set of rules our elected representatives have put into place.
Don't most IOS app developers use macs for app development? How might this change the equation?

Isn't that true for most parts of the world? Germany has only been a fully functioning democracy since 1945 (plus maybe a few years when the Weimar Republic was still working). The Republic of China was not democratic until 1987, when martial law was lifted in Taiwan. If we look at history as a whole, that's really just an anecdotal drop in the bucket.
Same thoughts on my side. And we're mostly doing nothing to stop the growing catastrophe. And I am no exception to that, ...just to be honest.

I am not denying racism by any means, but it seems people of poverty are most at risk.

I just realized that underreporting is already accounted for in the 1,250/y thanks to the statistical analysis described in the article.

A = the number of jurisdiction-reported homicides

B = the number of media-reported homicides

M = the number of homicides on both lists

N = AB / M

Now, if jurisdiction-reported homicides are unreported by a factor of X, we can derive a more accurate figure for A by multiplying A by X. We also multiply M by X, because adding cases to list A also adds a similar ratio (on average) to the matches between both lists. And the estimate doesn't change.

N = (XA * B) / XM = AB / M

This assumes, of course, that homicides in the jurisdictions that don't report to the FBI or BJS are still reported by the media. That may not be true but if it's not true, it must be proven false.
> it's often highly interactive, and value oriented. You get to "touch" the data a bit like material. Nowadays repl's are common, so it doesn't seem special but it was so for 30years.

REPL's are common, but they're rarely as useful in other languages. Even relatively basic (to Lisp programmers) things are almost universally missing, for example:

[1]> (defun f (x) (1+ (g x)))
F
[2]> (f 4)

*** - EVAL: undefined function G
The following restarts are available:
USE-VALUE :R1 Input a value to be used instead of (FDEFINITION 'G).
RETRY :R2 Retry
STORE-VALUE :R3 Input a new value for (FDEFINITION 'G).
ABORT :R4 Abort main loop
Break 1 [3]> :r3
New (FDEFINITION 'G)> (lambda (x) (* x 2))
;; Now that we gave an fdefinition for G, our (f 4) call can continue, so it
;; resumes execution and completes. Until now, it was just paused--no stack
;; unwinding unless we ask for it.

[4]> (g 10)
;; Because we used STORE-VALUE, it went ahead and saved the value we gave in
;; G for future use. If we had used USE-VALUE, it would have finished the (f

> lists mindset is different from mutable arrays

Mutable arrays are ubiquitous in Lisp. Explicitly cdring down lists is mostly only done in introductory textbooks; in practice, most people will use MAP, REDUCE, REMOVE-IF-NOT, etc instead, which all work just as well on arrays or lists, or they might use an imperative construct like DO, LOOP, or ITER (also note that conses are mutable as well; it's not at all unusual to setf a car or cdr or call NCONC). It's not terribly different from what you would do in eg modern Java (aside from the part where none of it requires special support from the implementation and it could all be implemented in user code).

I would also add that learning Lisp will teach you a lot about object-oriented programming. Even things that Java programmers use extensions for and give names like aspect-oriented programming just come built in as part of Lisp's stock object system. But then, Lisp's stock object system is also extremely flexible, especially given the pseudo-standard metaobject protocol. Quoting from Wikipedia about the MOP book:

"In his 1997 talk at OOPSLA, Alan Kay called [The Art of the Metaobject Protocol] "the best book anybody's written in ten years", and contended that it contained "some of the most profound insights, and the most practical insights about OOP", but was dismayed that it was written in a highly Lisp-centric and CLOS-specific fashion, calling it "a hard book for most people to read; if you don't know the Lisp culture, it's very hard to read"."
I think there's a sweet spot for these things. Very old consoles are very limited but also pretty simple. You could get an overview of all the basic capabilities of a GameBoy in half an hour. As such they're easier to get started, playing a sound on a GB from scratch would take you a dozen CPU instructions at most, pushing a sprite into the GPU only slightly more.

Doing that on a PlayStation 1 would be already significantly more complicated. Even if you don't bother with 3D you need to figure out how to upload the texture to the (significantly more complex) GPU, configure a bunch of stuff and then you might be lucky enough to draw something on the screen. Take for instance this code for a "virtual terminal" on the PS1 GPU, this is what the GPU init code looks like: https://github.com/simias/psx-hardware-tests/blob/a72e0ba0c8...

And keep in mind that it's a super simplistic case, for anything more serious you'll want to configure double buffering, DMA, the GTE coprocessor for the 3D transforms and probably a few other things. Even just reading data from the CD-ROM is significantly more complex than accessing the memory mapped ROM of the GB.

I expect the PS2 to be even more complicated, although I don't have a significant experience coding on it. So you end up coding on a machine that's very limited by modern standards but at the same time might be more complicated to develop for than if you used Unity or the Unreal Engine.

> How can we NOT expect cops to kill us? That's what the state is - that's what it does

That's not what happens in most countries, though, so clearly it's not a problem with "the state", but with American law enforcement. Police can overpower one unarmed person, regardless of how strongly he resists, without killing him. Not only they can, but that's what they do in most places: you resist -- they take you by force, but they don't kill you.

Also, using violence to enforce the laws long predates the state (what we call "the state" today was largely created only in the 17th century). The role of the state is to reduce the number of people who can employ violence when enforcing the law (and, of course, to centralize the law itself), from your local lord and his soldiers, the church and its inquisitors, your local robber-baron and his Pinkertons, to those whose training and licensing is, at least hopefully, supervised and sanctioned by the general public.

Is there a study anywhere that tries to correlate amount/quality-of-police-training and deaths involving police? I think that could be really interesting.
Excuse the late reply. I don't have numbers for you, but they still can't be that big. Bitcoin is perhaps fanatically adopted by some, and they may bring their friends in, but it has to still be a very very small percentage of total investments. 50 percent of Korean personal investments going into bitcoin seems, thankfully, impossible.

Btw the gov't here has outlawed bitcoin derivatives including futures, and classifies bitcoin as a speculative asset, not a currency or means of exchange. I can easily imagine bitcoin being banned here, if there is a collapse and people get burned.

At the same time the gov't is supportive of new technologies and seeders interested in blockchains.

This article seems more higher education or tax policy discussion rather than about AI/ML.

Still intrigued though, is "world rankings" possible to determine or even valid in a multinational corp world?

What was the last actual eureka moment in ML?

Apart from some hello worlds know little on the subject, from the outside looks like the heavy work was done long ago and we've only recently had the hardware advances to make it a reality. Seems to be incremental improvements on models and a myriad of new ways to implement neural nets, but the real improvements are coming from nvidia/amd engineers making gpu advances.

Hardware has moved on but we still in the same position of engineering tradeoffs and physical limitations. Undoubtedly there's wizards out there who can work wonders, and there's people less adept with nation-state resources who could can achieve the same result.

I'm partial to the opinion that being a world leader in ML right now has more to do with your hardware and budget rather than individual talent.

Not OP, and not quite he same argument, but at least you’re still shocked. That might be cold comfort to the dead man, but it does suggest there could be a glimmer of hope. If everyone stops being shocked at things like this, it will have been completely normalized.

As soon as you’re at the point where someone can say unchallenged something like “oh yeah, another black man’s been shot, who cares”, then perhaps there’s less hope.

I think that the mistake here is believing that the miners control the network, when most likely the miners simply work for the decentralized network. When the miners become centralized there is little they can do that the users/nodes can’t unwind with a software update, even up to the point of firing those miners completely if necessary (changing the proof of work so that their current hardware is worthless). I think that long-term the incentives are aligned for them to simply do their job.

Fair point. In the process of resisting, USians are a risk of shooting back.

But I can't say whether I agree or disagree with your election of the qualifier "most"

In my small (I say) set of adversarial encounters with law enforcement in Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, there were more than one person on the law-enforcement side of the encounter that appeared more than willing to do terminal violence, should there be any sort of excuse to do so. And those are "nice" places! I don't know what I would have found if I'd actually gone somewhere rough...

> If, by hypothesis, the vast majority of people—although they have different conceptions of justice—can all agree that it is wrong to use violence to settle their honest disputes, then market forces would lead to peace among the private police agencies.

This is pretty much even sillier hypothesis than "if people agree to work together towards common good, through the forces of cooperation, they would achieve prosperity greater than it's possible in any competitive capitalist system" and that one was tried and proven false.

People agreeing that the violence is not the right way to resolve disputes? Author must somehow missed all of history right untill yesterday and have no friends or at least only friends without neighbours.

Transactions follow very specific binary format. I don't think it's even plausible that you could find collision within those constraints. Plus, as you said it is double hashed. So then you would have to find collision within small fixed amount 32 bytes. It's just not happening.

AlphaGo isn't a human, but it played Go in a human manner. When reviewing the games it is hard for Go players not to talk about 'intent' and 'planning'. The actual process for making the move was actually very human, in my view. Superhuman execution, but the basic process was how a human played.

It is interesting to see how that translates into Chess. When AlphaZero wins it is playing games that exercise a beautiful positional judgment. There are a couple of very elegant games where a material advantage for Stockfish just didn't translate into a meaningful edge on the board.

If the Go experience is any guide, this is a glimpse in the direction of the ideal we should aspire to playing Chess.

Don't blame either our messed up political system or our militarized police on us. At this point, our government is a corporate oligarchy that has been gerrymandered and rigged to the point that our vote does not matter, and the low pay of our cops combined with the stream of military gear and low amount of training made them trigger-happy.

It's not our people that want this.
