If I put in a “typo” (read: ambiguous letter), I want the meaning that was originally intended. Technically correct doesn’t but me anything; we can play that game all day but I just don’t have much use for a document full of errors. In a way: I want the AI to do what a human would do.

This is like speech recognition using context to fill in the gaps. Without this it would be unusable.
Thanks, I had disregarded Tower until I saw your comment :)
"Medrano worked with Urton over the next several months and the two compiled their findings into a paper which will be published in the peer-reviewed journal Ethnohistory in January. Medrano is the first author on the paper, indicating he contributed the bulk of the research, something Urton notes is extremely rare for an undergraduate student"

I read that to mean there's more, but it'll be published in Ethnohistory.

> I come from an older generation of allies who supported Mark Leno et al. when they labored over, passed, and amended to full positive-rights equivalence with marriage, CA’s Domestic Partner Law [...] This was considered just and sufficient, until it was not

Oh, please, no, it wasn't by, well, almost anyone. Most LGBTQ advocates and allies never considered it “just and sufficient”, they (at best) considered it at best a distasteful compromise that was better than the pre-existing state and at worst a capitulation to those who wanted to give religious groups a veto over he definition of civil marriage which ignored the enduring lesson of the struggle for civil rights that separate institutions are inherently unequal nnyour and entrenched in law the othering of LGBTQ people and thir families and relationships.

The idea that there was ever a consensus, either in society or among LGBTQ advocates and allies, that the separate institution of domestic partnership was “just and sufficient” is rewriting history.
I come from the Midwest. Nothing the GP described is inaccurate. It's not a strange priority to want to live some place that society doesn't try to enforce rules from a 2000 year old religious text.

Model S is nothing like a 7 series or an S class. These are both executive cars and their class is decided on wheel base.
In the EU a Model S is an S-segment car, whereas the 7 series and S class are F-segment cars. The two don't even compare.

You could compare a P100D to an F10 M5, which is 4,288lb - almost 600lb lighter than the Model S.
The HN title is worse than the already bad article title as it loses the implied "some people already do this, but it may become a lot more mainstream/widespread as it works well as a solution to some of our current global challenges."

How do you create a title conveying that without it being hyperbolic click-bait while keeping it at 80 characters or less? I have no clue. But that's the gist of this article.

There's a perfectly consistent explanation that doesn't really break Occam's razor unless you have huge assumptions about AI takeoff and the drake equation:

- These are really old things

- They are autonomous and are driven by some computing system/AI

- They have the ability to harvest, store, and leverage an immense amount of energy and convert it into propulsion (or more specifically, allows the repositioning of the object's atoms in spacetime) in a way we don't understand but doesn't break the laws of thermodynamics and allows travel at near light speed for long periods of time.

- Their purpose isn't to communicate back to the origin (since the speed of light) but to autonomously take interventional action at their destination upon arrival based upon observation (this is the part that should scare you and if I were to go out on a limb is the reason these things aren't disclosed)

That's it. Speculation about their original origin is irrelevant with regards to assuming it's an extremely unlikely thing for unmanned autonomous agents to exist with (a relatively incremental) post-human level of technological capability.

If anything, there are many variants of resolving the drake equation which would make it surprising to not see such things, since it would imply there was never AI takeoff anywhere or any mechanism to deploy long-lived, self sufficient, autonomous probes. I'd expect us to be able to construct primitive versions of this within 100 years.

John Battelle's Predictions 2017: How‘d I Do?
> There is no need to be rude.

I apologise. I'm just… rather surprised at such an idea.

> It is not hard to imagine a language with the same objective of TypeScript that is compiled to WebAssembly.

It is not hard to an imagine a strongly-typed language targeting WebAssembly, sure. But TypeScript is not that kind of language. TypeScript is just JavaScript, and JavaScript, as a highly dynamic language, is a very poor candidate for the kind of ahead-of-time compilation to a low-level target that WebAssembly was made for. I mean… it could, technically, be done, but why would anyone do so? The result would be bigger and slower than normal JS.
The midwest isn't in any regard lacking entrepreneural mass. The parent is taking liberties with the premise. There are as many entrepeneurs per capita in Ohio and Illinois as there are in California (defined by new business formation and new employer business formation).

The problem is what you'd expect in fact: network effects, hyper concentrated talent pools, extraordinary expertise, very large amounts of capital tilted toward higher risk / higher return pursuits.

If you're in Kansas and have the next big tech idea...

- If it requires significant venture capital, you're not going to be able to locate that capital in Kansas. The capital available in Kansas, isn't interested (it's only interested in hindsight; Silicon Valley capital is actually often interested a decade or two before an idea / business concept is ready to boom, which produces a constant cycle of being early with things, which finally only work years later). If you're in Kansas and need to raise $100m or $300 million over six years to build the next great fast growing technology business, you will not be able to find that scale of VC there, period. I can't emphasize that enough, there is no scenario under which you will ever raise that capital in Kansas - it did something like $13m in total traditional VC deals in 2016.

- If it requires the most talented engineers (and lots of them) to scale big + fast (ie the engineers that are among the best in the world at that thing), you're not going to find that talent in Kansas. The hyper concetrated talent pools available in California, give you that critical mass for almost any given technology focus. You see similar effects for eg biotech in the greater Boston area (which gives that area vast advantages for the next great biotech start-up as opposed to somewhere in Ohio).

- If you need exceptionally talented managers, with experience at building large, fast growing, cutting-edge technology companies. You're not going to find very many of them in Kansas. There's an immense experience advantage in Silicon Valley, generations of it has built-up in fact. These people make a critical difference during any kind of meaningful ramp growth phase.

- If you need the world's best venture capitalists, to help steer your new tech company through all the typical dangers for such a company, you're not going to find them in Kansas. The best VCs can help you recruit in a huge way, for both executives and engineers; they can steer you through all sorts of problems in fund raising and public relations; they can push through political obstacles with their connections and wealth (ie pick up the phone and get someone politically powerful in Washington DC on the other end of the line). A VC in Kansas has no ability to do most of those things.

The list just keeps going.

In short: the risk capital isn't there, the hyper concentrated large talent pools for a given expertise are not there, the management experience is not there, the venture capitalists are not there. There are plenty of entrepreneurs to go around, and if they want to create the next great tech company they usually have to leave for all the previously listed reasons.
I mean, your argument is effectively that vertically integrated companies are so efficient, and lower costs so much, that they force competitors out of business.

If I was a lawyer, fighting FOR the company, I would literally use your exact same argument as for why vertical integration is a good thing.

Reducing costs, and making the market more efficient is a good thing, not a bad thing. Reducing prices is good, not bad.
"Review," in which a privileged person mocks the idea of invisible power resulting in perpetuating inequality being worse than visible power.
It'll be fine. It's used in automative systems and my bet is it will allow BB to reinvent itself as a car company.
But in an industry like power generation / "the electric grid," the obviousness of this might be outweighed by momentum (and money?) for the status quo. Especially in regulated services like these (roughly speaking, and depending on the implementation, the industry behaves like a monopoly with more/fewer government-imposed controls), the message and the politics are important to line up, or else a superior technology might only be adopted decades after it's actually viable.

So you might find it to be fluff, but it's good for people to read actual in-the-field success stories.
Yeah, but the app store was in the works by day one.
They both work fine, depending on how you meant to structure the sentence.

"We'll all be eating rabbit" and "We'll all be eating rabbits" have slightly different connotations (generic term for the meat vs specific animals) but mean effectively the same thing. The former seems to be the more common usage, as it's more analogous to "We'll all be eating beef" instead of "We'll all be eating cows".

Every country has a production frontier. Trade can only improve that frontier.

There's a completely different question you are raising of whether there are zero marginal product workers. One could ask if people are made ZMP by trade. Of course, there have always been ZMP workers (an extreme example might be someone who is quadripelegic and has mental health issues), but trade could still be a factor in increasing their number. I would say with a cursory empirical look, in the cases where one could make the argument (e.g., high unemployment countries in Europe), it looks a lot more like this is caused by poor local policies rather than by trade.

In general, the model is focused on production not full employment (which there are different models for), and it's not clear to me why we would optimize on a single KPI here.
And I'll pass a law to ban poverty by 2525.

They could have just used TypeScript or Flow. It doesn't sound like they did enough research on the HTML5 option if they haven't came across these.
And this is the point where I just check out of the internet except for perfunctory interactions.

I think this will be a growth area for AI, where we will have bots running pretending to be us so they can properly minmax all of the measures showing us as model participants in a system that "... will forge a public opinion environment where keeping trust is glorious. It will strengthen sincerity in government affairs, commercial sincerity, social sincerity and the construction of judicial credibility."
Nah. The second thing is the main thing. Your first point is just the typical SF exceptionalism narrative that has been touted by the Bay VC startup ideology for the last 20 years.

The sad truth is, it's not a coincidence that so many of the biggest economies in the world are built inside of self-perpetuated real estate bubbles. Pockets of land trapped in by ocean and mountains. There's a feedback loop involved in companies that get big enough to own their own buildings, their companies' continued growth drives up the value of their real estate which they can re-finance for easy loans.

There's plenty of people who think it makes sense to take the startup culture to cheaper areas like the midwest or Austin. And they "succeed" in founding profitable startups. But they'll never create the next great thing, specifically because the big companies in big cities didn't succeed in spite of their higher costs, but because of them.

I think if I wanted to move silicon valley I'd look for some cheap semi-peninsular coastal city which is currently priced like a midwest city. Then I would drive up that price. I've eyed Charleston SC as a potential target but I've never actually been there to know if that makes sense.
Why Content Marketing Can Make 2018 Your Best Business Year EVER
You can't do that with a spare battery?
Where did you get the three minute response time number for Gladstone? It is not backed up by the article, it only mentions that it should respond within six seconds, but that "Data from AEMO (and gathered above by Dylan McConnell from the Climate and Energy College) shows that the Tesla big battery responded four seconds ahead of the generator contracted at that time to provide FCAS (frequency control and ancillary services), the Gladstone coal generator in Queensland.". I would love to see more information on the actual impact that this had.

edit: Updated with the response time from the article
Cool, but I still prefer "Books Not Apps" for our children.
If you are talking about the food substance itself, Cactus is correct.
Right, by that logic Tesla should not have any sales.
Out of the wall in the US we get 120v @ 60Hz (elsewhere is 220v to 240v @ 50Hz). If the load becomes too high, the frequency starts to drop.

Inductive (motors and such) loads do not fare well when the frequency drops which can cause serious damage. Capacitive or Resistive loads can handle a bit more fluxation, but the whole system is built around the idea that voltage and frequency are fixed. Fluxations can cause grid failures, brownouts, or damage to consumer electronics.

AFAIK, that is precisely what is happening here. The batteries are dumping energy into the grid to bring the frequency back up to where it should be. What's cool is that Tesla was not contracted to do, but did anyway. Good PR.
Interesting experiment! Per the talking points, I think a good color strategy would be to sample the lightest and darkest points from each region, and then use them as endpoints in a gradient fill.

So, you're saying that if random consumer buys $25 dollar IP aware camera, puts it on their WIFI (and hence the Internet) so they can look at their cat at work, it is that consumer who the DoS-hit hospital down the road should look to, when that hospital is hit by massive botnet-drive ransomeware attack.

'Cause certainly random average-consumer should know how dangerous adding crap to their network can be ... for others ... and certainly he/she is capable of making provisions for this.

Fortunately, modern legal theory actually does consider "who are talking about here, what can expected of them." in cases like this. Hospitals could theoretically sue IoT manufacturer on this as far my ianal knowledge goes and it's more that the manufacturers are distant cheap factories in China that prevents this.
> Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud (but not in ML).

Since you work there, hopefully you can see this feedback and filter it up: I love your tools. They are the best. I have tried using your tools. They are hard to use, despite the fact that I have a pretty solid understanding of how to use them. I would like to use your tools more, but getting support is hard (partly because the docs aren't great, partly because there is no community, because see #1).

I don't know how to fix this, but it would be great if maybe Google spent some time focusing on building a community around your tools, like AWS did. At the beginning they had a lot of employees hanging out on the forums and on other forums, answer questions and building a community of users, and especially helping third parties who tried to build libraries for their tools (like boto for Python). It would be great if Google did that too.

Thanks for listening!

Ajit Pai was talking about legislation, not Congress using its power to review regulatory acts to veto his repeal of the Open Internet Order.

I meant, if he wanted the old order dealt with that way, he wouldn't have done a repeal, he would have just left it to Congresd to use it's review authority, which it could have and did not.

The EU does not run a secret service or regulate the secret services of its member countries.

Not to take away from your point about those other nations, but GDP per capita isn't always great for this kind of thing due to the marginal utility of money.

Median income (though income isn't exactly GDP) often differs heavily from mean income. There's purchasing power parity too, but I don't know how much it would impact this stuff with salt.
Not disagreeing with what you say but there are people on both sides of the coin. For instance, myself and my peers (Indian graduates from a top 5 school in US) are extremely well compensated by our respective companies (well beyond the highest wage level defined by DOL). But due to the antiquated immigration system, everyone gets pooled into one bucket which results in decade+ long wait for a green card. I agree with you that the salary requirements need to be fixed and revised. Also, the allocation of the green cards can be done in descending order of the compensation of the employee instead of the country of birth/filing date system.

This does a nice job of explaining why it's not a good solution. For the company, it does not measure any kind of communication or collaboration ability (which is so important for programming). For the candidate, it does not give her/him any more information about people at the company or provide a positive, interesting experience.

As an engineer, you work with other humans first and machines second. Platforms like HackerRank seem to miss that, while better ones like interviewing.io put it front and center.
