I'm not asking why China would limit it, I'm asking what Google gains from it.

If Google's top talent in China will mostly be poached within the next 10 years, is it really worthwhile to open a research center there? MSRA is a very good example, but at the end of the day, it's still a training ground for Chinese researchers. Paradoxically, the more important it is that Chinese researchers work on at Google China, the more likely that Google is to lose those researchers to government or private competitors.

Tesla autopilot is not that different from its namesake in airplanes. Autopilot does not fly the plane from JFK to LAX, it only maintains speed, altitude and heading. If anything unusual happens, autopilot disengages and drops controls back to the pilot.

So Tesla is not deceiving anyone.

Is there a non-awful protocol to bet on?
This is incorrect. Raw milk is not a low risk product. Raw milk is sold in tiny quantities, but regularly causes harm. That harm isn't limited to a bit of diarrhea, sometimes it's life-changing permantent damage.

The risks of raw milk are more severe for children, and children are often not asked for, nor able to give, consent to engage in this risky behaviour. Many outbreaks of raw milk poisoning included a child under 5. (Some of these children needed kidney transplant).
Hey Sean, I just want to say thanks for all the work; I'm not sure the complaints from others but webpack has helped us quite a bit by making development life closer to what it should be!
Ask HN: Is there any way we could get LCC open sourced?
LCC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCC_(compiler) is a nice well written C compiler that has been used in things like quake3. It's a literate progam and there is an awesome book based on it.

It used to be a commerical product but the source is available now, on the other hand it isn't under a free software license so nobody really wants to use it. I feel like it has huge potiental if it were put under a proper open source license.

Does anybody have any ideas how we might be able to get it properly open sourced?
"Mathematical ideas are by nature precise and well defined, so that a precise description is possible in a very short space"

"A well-written math text will be careful to use a word in one sense only"

So many papers are not that careful, and thus, not so precise. There are only so many greek letters, so they end up overloaded. I can't count the number of times I've struggled over an equation, only to find out that the reason it made no sense and/or the value for a specific example came out differently was because the author assumed one variable to mean something differently than I did (and my assumption was perfectly valid in another context. Sometimes another context in -the same paper-). The whole experience is incredibly frustrating.

Echoing another point here, if you just show a sufficiently non-trivial example and walk me through it, I grok it quickly. -Then- give me the equation if you must.
This is a great story.

Yea, because that's how phones, when they are on the cell network and not local wireless actually work.

There are computers with access to the internet at school. They don't have full internet access, they have the scholastic firewall you speak of.

This thread is madness. Instead of a cell phone ban, it's like we are talking about all computers being banned from school.
Concertmaster seems to be simpler and more focused, in terms of metadata, than anything I might have made would have been. Which is a good thing -- having used it a bit now (by applying the fix provided elsewhere in this thread) I have to say I'm delighted with it. The UI-first design, in which the complexities of the metadata are very well hidden, is a joy.
There is a difference between an analogy and a comparison. Just think of it as it working with murderers for commercial gain, and try again, as far as the analogy is concerned.

China is plenty totalitarian, too, so even as a comparison it's not that far off (though you won't be able to follow comparisons either if you think things have to be exactly the same thing to be compared). You might even say the Nazis weren't Nazis before they started and lost their war; if they had stuck with, say, attacking Poland and Russia, and had kept their concentration camps secret (i.e. plausibly deniable), they still might be darlings of Western business elites even today, as Hitler was before the stuff we now have 20/20 hindsight on.

Last but not least, a big ambition is living a life you then don't have to lie to yourself about. Compared to that, "advancing AI" isn't even an ambition, nevermind a big one.
Ask HN: Which language should I learn next?
I am experienced with C++, .NET, and TypeScript. Which of the new faddy functional languages (e.g., Clojure, Scala, OCaml, Fable, Elixir, etc) should I learn next. In your estimation, which would give me the most bang for my efforts, and why?

I am mostly interested in how expressive the typing system is and how easy it is to write correct concurrent programs
It is endlessly frustrating that the current trend in functional programming fetishizes mathematical notation when describing the same concepts with more verbose versions of the same thing in other programming languages would be clearer and more widely understood.

Why should all mathematics be written using exactly the same language and conventions? Should all computer programs be written in the same language? People modify the language (natural, mathematical, programming) they are using to suit their problem. It is unreasonable to expect that the kind of language you use at the foundations of mathematics for example (set axioms and so on) would be efficient and useful for stating properties of much more complex objects: this exactly parallels computer programming languages.

Admittedly, there are no big tables containing "definitions" of these languages. But I think it is common opinion that if you don't understand the language a paper is using, then there is a very large chance you don't know the underlying theory, and the paper will make no sense anyway.
More computers understand only what they're told. You -have- to be exact.

Humans can infer. If it doesn't make sense, they realize something is wrong and attempt to make sense of it.

As to why the mathematician preferred 'English', I think it's because quantifiers aren't universal. Mathematical notation itself isn't universal. That is, while the student may be internally consistent and exact in their qualifiers, they are not universally consistent between students, nor with the professor's expectation. The professor wanted to immediately grok what the student was trying to do, not have to approach every single turned in assignment as though it was an unfamiliar mathematical paper, using its own notation, that he had to interpret (where some symbols may share a standard meaning across papers, others won't)
Personal preference, but:

1. All-in one: a negative

2. Build quality: Apple's build quality has gone down in the past seven years.

3. Warranty: OK, you got me there.

4. MacOS: Of all the OSes I've used in my life, MacOS is certainly not the best. It's not a selling point.

5. Building & maintaining time: This is a positive. I enjoy being able to know exactly what's in my machines and having the ability to replace any part I want whenever I want.

There are other upsides to building your own versus buying a Mac.

1. Complete control over aesthetics.

2. Broader choice of OS.

3. Broader hardware options.

If someone gave me a free iMac Pro, I would sell it and use the money to build something I like.

Again, please note, this is personal preference and not intended to be a judgment on those whose preferences differ from mine.

As a customer that is not my problem. If I have been sold a 10MB line which has unlimited data then the company doesn't get to complain when I use all of what has been sold to me, the source of the traffic is completely irrelevant.

The issue is that ISPs oversubscribe residential connections massively (say a contention ratio of 50:1) and have done for years, this is now biting them in the ass with high bandwith apps like video streaming becoming the norm.

This doesn't need to be fixed by destroying net neutrality and shaping traffic that they don't get paid for from both ends (the subscriber and content provider), it needs to be fixed by fixing their packages.

But hey, when you can get paid both ways who cares if you're fucking over both parties?

Powerline Ethernet is not really a good solution either. If you don't use your phone jacks, take the cover off one and check if it's actually using Cat5 or greater. You can then use those for network if you replace the connectors.

That has less to do with webpack and more to do with create-react-app which doesn't allow you to modify the webpack config. The gp didn't really need to use gulp, you can compile less with package.json scripts.
Sure, it certainly does. Yet there are also for-profit solutions that are helping significantly with poverty as well and helping people manage the cash flow and savings issues of being poor — take Instant Financial, for instance, which allows workers to get paid daily[1], and Walmart’s MoneyCard app, which uses behavioral finance to trick people into saving money.

When we close ourselves off to the idea that financial insecurity cannot be solved profitably, we close ourselves off to a multitude of potential solutions.

I evaluated webpack recently and found that it worked fine for straightforward projects but the more customized I wanted it the more issues I ran into.[0] I think it’s a matter of configuration as json vs configuration as code. Webpack had all of the component pieces I needed, but they were glued together in ways that I couldn’t compose them. I ended up using rollup, which was a bit better but I still yearn for the composability of Broccoli.

[0] My project allowed users to have a single JS file that would be able to `import` npm modules and the have the bundler compile all of the dependencies into a single tree-shaken vendor.js, while modifying the main file’s imports to be human-readable es5. Webpack’s es6 import code was tightly coupled to the format of its output.

Don't really need SIMD intrinsics or a new rust program. There are some bugs that have been resolved in the new llvm that allow better auto vectorization. Nightly rust let's you turn them on now I thinj, I'll have to go run it again and see how it does. So a rebuild is all that is necessary. Also using autovec instead of intrinsics makes it more portable. For instance when I rebuilt the leading rust n-body and the leading c n-body rust won. That is because my machine had avx and llvm was already doing enough autovec to make it faster than the old intrinsics the c version had hardcoded. The machine for the game does not have avx. Even on the same hardware autovec can be fast. The winner is FORTRAN for n-body and it uses autovec not intrinsics. Ifort is an Intel only compiler, but at least from atoms to the newest it will always compile and be fast. It took advantage of my avx and still beat rust for instance. Also the c and c++ n-body cheat by using a single precision float for the inverse square so they can use the intrinsic for that. The output isn't checked to enough precision to make it matter but it is still counter to the spirit of the benchmark.
In circumstances like what you're describing, where both job choices seem reasonable, the single biggest consideration is lifestyle.

Questions that fall under lifestyle: Where do you want to live? (culture, weather, cost of living etc) How does either decision impact your family? What kind of hours / time demands does each job require? (and how that relates to quality of life, family, etc)
It is a lot more complex than this (more than a HC post), but the simple version is most of the carbon captured is due to carbon rich waste products falling below 200m (about 400t of carbon for every t of phosphate), while the money is made from selling the fish.

I did a rather detailed investigation into the scheme a few years ago. The end result is provided you have a cheap source of phosphate (phosphate-rich rock is fine) and a good slow release system (think something like pumice), then the whole thing is both a massive money spinner and will capture enough carbon to reverse the current CO2 rise.
I suggest you read the article. The point of it is that, in this case, the SEC does not object to marketing promises (though they probably could have).

The SEC objects that this ICO has an investment component. That is, that it is sold to people hoping to make money from it.

Basically they are enforcing that if there is an investment component, the coin is a security and needs to comply with security offering law.
I'm not on the hook for "my share" of the national debt. The government isn't going to knock on my door with a $62k tax bill next month. That's the government's debt, not mine.

If I spend all my money but still owe creditors more, that's what I'm on the hook for. That's real debt.
Yes, but I doubt it'll start at price or performance lower than a mid-range iMac Pro. The point here is that it can be upgraded later to a much beefier configuration than the top-of-the-line iMac. It will probably ditch the Xeon W and go for one that can, at least, offer a dual-socket system.

It also wouldn't come with a built-in display, which would allow it to have a slightly better spec for the same price as an iMac Pro.

So assuming what you described is true, why hasn't the rest of the world declared war against the communist China?

Because it's not close to what Nazis did. And that's my point.

Btw, from the articles that you linked, it is quite clear that treating LGBT as disease is not a government policy. In fact, it is against the law. The government doesn't actively hunt for LGBT people and send them for treatment. In fact I think they are less concerned about homosexuality than the churches are.

For me I find it astonishing that state have to make laws for common sense. When did it made sense to parents to let their kids go to school with a tool known for its distraction impact ?

Some years ago, would you have send your kids to school with a portable tv ?

The lack of parent education and common sense is the real problem for me here.

I have been working with Elixir for a couple months and I just adore it!

I found it easy to get up to speed and working competently in a relatively short amount of time. The ecosystem, docs and developer community are robust and getting stronger.

I also think that Phoenix will be the next big backend framework, so getting a handle on Elixir in general will help make you a stronger candidate (if you’re interested in web technologies).
All capable governments are spying on their dissidents. However, the CCP also detains dissidents on the basis of its spying even in low-profile cases[1], and has been using prisoners (in other words, more dissidents) as a source of organ "donations" for a long time[2]. All the articles I've read about this topic are about specific religious groups (Uyghurs/Falun Gong). The Chinese treatment of Islam is so openly hostile that it would make Breitbart proud[3]. China is (thankfully) not ethnically cleansing Tibetans, but they are at least cleansing its culture[4]. Also, hi from Taiwan, so thousands of CCP missiles are pointing at the city around me.

I agree that you can't compare the NSDAP to the CCP. But doing business with China is still a very different thing from dealing with most other countries (regardless of whose side they were on in 1945).

Am I missing something in the paper, or is iVGAN actually just a vanilla Wasserstein GAN? Is the contribution of the paper “we tried GAN on video and it worked”? That’s still a useful result, but what justifies the new iVGAN name? Perhaps the specific network architecture they’re using?

I was this guy to certain professors: at the end of the day it's less about formality and more about someone's ability to understand you at a high level and assess you. To me, I was trying to convey my ideas as precisely as possible. To my professor, I was being so verbose that it would have taken him at least an hour to thoroughly assess the rigor with which I had approach my proof, which simply doesn't scale to all students.

Your friend in math is definitions. IME clever definitions minimize the sheer amount of rigor you need to get from point A to point B through their abstractions. The more "natural" or easily understandable a definition is, the easier it is to use that definition as a ground truth in your theorems.

For example, I have an unpublished proof of a graph/game-theory conjecture. Proving the theorem's correctness is extremely convoluted if you rely on atomic definitions of graphs, valid actions, etc. However, as you define new relationships precisely, it becomes much easier. The more abstractly you approach the problem, the simpler the problem becomes, given the correct abstractions.
Gentoo is such a great learning platform. Stage 3 installs really educate you on how a linux machine is built. Portage on how system services are built in a modular (or not) way. It creates such a different relationship with the user than most other OS's.
