Impatience: The Pitfall of Every Ambitious Person
On Reddit someone shared a Facebook ad they were getting about this. It's being hyped like TRON and will likely share a similar fate.

Not really. :) The Mill has bugs at many levels from design to implementation both in software and hardware. It's even in the linked paper: "A code generator bug exposing a software vulnerability akin to Spectre variant 1 has been
resolved with a bug fix, without hardware modifications."
Of course, emulating a portable gaming system on the PC is only half as damaging, since it is not portable.

I'm enjoying some of the Switch games, and might want to relive the experience one day, but for now an emulator cannot easily duplicate the portability of the Switch. I would still be happy to know there's a good emulator out there though.

This has been my experience. With Google I am constantly asking myself: Wait, what about all that glorious, smart, noncommercial web content that I know exists? Like the Stanford Philosophy Encyclopedia[2] or that economics professor's dataset that I remember being referenced in a podcast a year ago?

Google seems to have decided that Wikipedia is the only blessed noncommercial source of intelligence.

I guess, if I were to put it strongly, I'd say: using Google is not like using the Internet any longer.

FWIW, HNers may wish to check out Yewno[1], a knowledge search engine based in Redwood City that I've had the pleasure of being (tangentially) involved in.

You need to make it unprofitable by destroying their monopoly:

-Legalize production and possession. However, criminalize sales.

-Also, take the power to classify drugs away from the DEA.

The problem is you're contrasting an extremely isolated example versus the millions of corporations that have existed, with many thousands of those corporations having had immense scale, against centuries of vast war, slaughter, repression and genocide by governments resulting in the direct murder of over a hundred million people. That's the parent's very clear point.

Are Google using a neural nets as an integral part of search indexing yet?

It's well known that there are a bunch of metrics that go into which results to return — metrics including things like pagerank, (probably) historical value (# of clicks when the page appears in results), and social media popularity.

I wouldn't be surprised if Google has experimented with training models to predict most of those metrics, given only content from the site itself, and tried using those models as a filter for what to index in the first place. If the NN is accurate enough, they can use it as a filter at indexing stage ("should I index this?") rather than at the results ranking stage (where real data, rather than NN model output, answers the question "should I show this page close enough to the top of results that someone will see it?").
Because I often don't know the range I'm looking for, it could have been yesterday or it could have been 4 years ago. If I select last 12 months I might miss something 13 months ago. There's a lot of ambiguity in what I'm searching for (otherwise it wouldn't be called a lookup) and when I'm looking for current information then weighting by age is a lot more natural.

Another issue is that I don't know what the filter is selecting either, a 6 year old article might be better if it's been updated, but I can't tell from the interface what property is being filtered.
It also turns out that group text messaging is included on your phone. So anyone you _really_ want to talk to is _always_ nearby.
The TRON hype train has been getting a lot of kickback recently on Reddit - claims they have been stealing content from other white papers and copying non attributed GPL code from other projects - current market cap 4.7 Billion - make of that what you will :-)

I see this sentiment a lot, but it's not a useful one, as that ship has already sailed.

Please read this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/7lsajn/oil_shell_03_...

It's not a small amount of shell, and it's not even old in some cases. People are still writing big pieces of shell code. I point out at the end of this comment that Kubernetes, a brand new cluster manager from Google (2014 or so), has 48,000+ lines of shell in its repo.

Shell is definitely a terrible language for many things, but that's what I'm trying to fix, in a way that doesn't force you to rewrite all your code. Some things will never be rewritten -- it's like saying "Hey why don't you rewrite Wikipedia in Python and get rid of all the PHP?" It will never happen, for fundamental reasons of economics.

Netflix did for a while at least, may still do it. Worst case is that someone didn't pay for the month. The partitions happen rarely enough that it is better to give the user a good experience then not let a legit user in because of a network partition.

But the nice part is that this was a business decision, not a database decision.
Yes, that was my point :)

Because it's very hard to prove negatives like "not harmful". In that there are just too many ways in which stuff can be harmful. So at best, FDA excludes the obviously-toxic stuff, and the rest is assumed safe, until there's evidence that it's not.

And yes, I don't want new stuff in my food. I avoid processed food, and prefer local "organic" (hate the word, but whatever) sources.
I leave the debate here - thanks for engaging!
It's basically gambling. So do it if you want to have fun and most probably lose your investment with a ridiculously tiny chance of getting rich. That is how every ICO should be approached. I haven't invested in ICO but then I've never been into gambling.

It's funny that the objections from both sides have to do with ease of use on computers:

- The President wants letters that occur only on a standard keyboard, hence the use of apostrophes to modify the sounds of letters as opposed to accented letters.

- Others prefer accented letters because apostrophes would interfere with Google searches and Twitter hashtags.

The housing in California is probably most expensive in the Bay Area. On the other hand, poverty is probably disproportionately concentrated in the Central Valley, where I expect housing is very cheap compared to the Bay Area. If you just look at average housing prices and average income levels, I think you may get a distorted view of the actual cost of living.

You're talking about $200 or $300 per capita of GDP going to corruption, maximum.

Do you have a source?

According to https://www.pwc.com/ng/en/publications/impact-of-corruption-... the cost of corruption in Nigeria is around $1000 per person per year, and rising. Given that the GDP per capita is estimated at around $2180 per person, this is not a small impact.

(I was surprised to find that GDP per capita is less than income per capita.)
I was curious why Leaflet, which has been around a while, popped up today. Looks like it's because 1.3.0 is out, but as far as I can tell it's a bugfix release. The most exciting new feature (to me, at least) is iterating over layers in a LayerGroup with eachLayer, which is neat but hardly groundbreaking.

Am I missing something? I love Leaflet, but I thought it was already one of the standards for maps on the web.
Sure, unless like most people you’re obsessive about not letting that happen. If your phone dies just long enough to hide your location during a crime there’s other evidence of you committing...

...let’s just say you’d better be perfect in every other aspect of that crime.
That's your interpretation of the article. I don't believe that's how the article was written.

Author acknowledge the high housing cost but states that the metric that was used only account for a few things and it ignore other metrics which can skew it towards a certain argument.

Author also stated that the other person lied about how large state employment for California is. Author actually normalize/standardize it per capital instead of a having stating this is a large number.

You and the article can argue whatever yall want but it's just an opinion until yall do factor analysis or some sort of algorithm to figure out what's the right combination of metric is.

Yeah but for example my RL identity can be inferred from my username, my post history and probably my Twitter feed. So if I were someone who had a stake in high BTC rates - no matter if as a plain wallet holder or as operator/stakeholder in a BTC/coin-related enterprise - I would certainly make a new account, and probably even a new one for every comment, to hide the association.
I don't know much about BCI, but I'd imagine not all applications require spike sorting (http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Spike_sorting for those who are unfamiliar with this), though of course if one could spike-sort in close to real time, one could do a lot more.

In any case, I absolutely agree with you -- at the algorithmic and implementation level, there are lots of nice problems in making sense of neuronal recordings.
The cent sign didn't make it into ASCII because no one ever made a serious proposal to include it, not through conscious exclusion.

The amount of money isn’t really the issue, it’s the infrastructure for getting this revenue back towards public funds. That is to say corruption and a lack of internal organizations probably prevent a good portion of revenue from coming back to the people... And/or that they’ve already obligated themselves to other humanitarian efforts. Oh yeah and don’t forget existing debt obligations which are likely to be many factors larger...

Also, more importantly, you should probably google before shit posting as they roughly make ~$48bn of their GDP from oil.
Around 1995, Boeing had a HUGE project to address this (DCAC/MRM). I wasn't deep in the project, but the stories I heard were crazy. Something like 30 shades of white paint, or parts that were functionally the same having two or more part numbers.

The one thing that has stuck with me is the statement that you can't undrill a hole. It was the same thing the parent poster mentioned: Every operator wanted their galley/lavatory to be in some Goldilocks location, and that required drilling holes. Boeing pushed hard to limit the choices in order to bring cost down.

Those holes also caused problems if a customer resequenced or walked away from a partially built plane. Southwest would want a discount if you were selling them a plane that was originally kitted out for someone else.
This won’t answer all of questions but the measures you’re looking for are called ‘recall’ and ‘precision‘:

You clearly don't understand the Japanese. If anyone is to be embarrassed, it is the Nigerians promising to pay and then failing to. Accepting money from the Bill Gates foundation is more shameful. Japanese do not beg.
It's so easy to avoid having them in VCS though. Any secrets can be loaded from a configuration file placed in ~. Populated configs can be selectively distributed so you can e.g. only place the production config file (with the prod server AWS keys for example) on the CI server. Everyone else just gets a config file with non-prod secrets. This can help avoid a lot of mishaps.
Google does not need to pull up ALL results fast. It only needs to return 10 results quickly.

That's not relevant to the article, which says that the results are not available AT ALL. (Although as of my posting the two articles seem to be available again.)

Yes like any other ICO this is risky. However there is a big difference between this and other crytocoins: there is already a large base of pre-existing users of Telegram. With TON, Telegram has the potential to become WeChat outside of China.
This is a fair point. Maybe the engineer doesn't think about it, but at least some engineer wrote a library that takes care of it, instead of relying on the database to do it. And even with a consistent system, maybe they are still using a library.

But my point was eventually consistent systems, in general, force you to think about these things earlier on. Of course there are exceptions in both directions.
Definitely second the omega-3 recommendations. In general, eating better (especially more vegetables) has definitely improve things for me.

They also don't have a choice of whether or not they can operate legally so they might as well go all in on crime.

While cartels do lots of horrible things, if you had to operate with the constant threat of having all your assets seized and receiving a life in prison, would you operate as peacefully as possible or would you act to instill fear in those that wronged you and/or threaten your way of life.

If the products that the cartels distribute were legal, most cartels likely would either be those western corporate entities or wouldn't exist.
I don't believe that's true, at least not in the way you seem to imply. It is true that Yahoo and Bing are literally the same search engine on the backend, but that is not true of DuckDuckGo and Bing.

To quote the first line of the DDG wikipedia article on how it works[0]:

> DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources, including Yahoo! Search BOSS; Wikipedia; Wolfram Alpha; Bing; its own Web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); and others.

I didn't mean they should forget about it in the literal sense. I meant that when Nigeria started putting out the feelers for their loan to put the final nail in the coffin of polio someone in the international community, perhaps Japan, perhaps the US, should have just gifted them the money. The fact that it was a loan in the first place is the problem.

Not in those words, but they do claim to aspire to “Organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”[1] which ought to include old web pages. They've gone to the effort of finding out of print books and digitizing them to make those searchable so it doesn't seem like a ten year old web page should be such a stretch.

The total all-inclusive marijuana market is solidly a ~$60-$80 billion market in just the US. A legalized marijuana market would be larger than the cocaine, meth and heroin markets combined in the US. If you remove the marijuana market, the cartels lose half of their revenue.

Further, a lot of the other crime by cartels is funded by their marijuana business. It has been a cornerstone of their overall businesses the last 40 years.

That example of you gave, is fringe. The Knights Templar are not doing $25+ billion in annual revenue, which is what the implied extrapolation would be. The total annual 'revenue' for all Mexican cartels, is likely to be closer to $10 billion than not (RAND corporation estimated $6.6 billion for their drug trade, which is the majority of what they do).

There's a critical distinction between traditional corruption and illegal activities by gangs and similar, which is plentiful in 100+ of 195 nations, and the specific effects of the war on drugs. The war on drugs aspect of it, can be relatively easily neutered.

This is a well studied topic.

It's a term that was recently applied, with almost comical precision, to countries that are predominantly black. It was applied in respect of the people from those countries, specifically immigrants, more specifically regarding their individual merit as potential Americans.

TL; DR When discussing race, particularly anything relating to black people or predominantly-black countries, it's probably best to use another word.

I'm reasonably confident in Pony.ai's potential to develop an autonomous OS in China, they've got some real street cred, and in the time they've been at it appears they're coming along fine, possibly they've already surpassed Baidu.(Baidu did a huge restructuring because they weren't getting anywhere).

Pony has an American cousin: Aurora. Aurora was founded at almost the same time by ex-autpilot director Sterling Anderson and former Google SDC project lead Chris Urmson. Just like with Pony they decided they'd be better off starting their own company rather than try to work around the C-suite bullshit they had to put up with at their previous employers.

Now the thing is, top tier talent is short shrift, and the best would rather be working with a Chris Urmson or an ACRush solving hard problems than for a bunch of suits or egomaniacs who just don't get it.

So both Pony and Aurora have a special advantage when it comes to attracting talent that money can't buy. And talent is everything. Many of the best people were passionate about this long before the hype got out of control and the notion of getting stinking rich was ever a serious consideration.

I started using notmuch[1] a couple of years ago and cannot imagine living without it. It can do free text search on almost a million emails (and probably much more) in a fraction of a second.

E.g "from:torvalds and to:linux-ext4" to bring up all emails ever with those properties. Add some free text and/or "tag:foo" to narrow it down.
