This is the end game of cryptocurrencies; not worldwide financial liberation but the same massive financial institutions further cementing their power. Kind of funny that they are looking at Bitcoin at a point where it's more valuable but is more poorly suited to be a currency than ever before. Says a lot.

I don't know if this is true (can't trust anything to not be propaganda anymore) but iirc we learned in school that less than a third of Americans supported Independence with more than a third being indifferent and about a third strictly loyal to to British government. If there was a referendum, we can assume that pro Independence would have likely lost.

This article is mis-titled. The ORNL project seems to be entirely about optimizing DNN hyperparameters (like Google's AutoML, I think), and not about inventing novel DNN architectures.

Worse, the work has absolutely nothing to do with Scientific Discovery, which is a difficult and hugely ambitious area of ML study which involves generating novel induction of necessary mechanisms, not just the mostly random generation and testing of plausible patterns against outcomes.

Unless a ML method proposes hypotheses that are based on the induction of novel mechanistic principles, it ain't discovery. It's mere trial and error.

I often happen to search for things in multiple intervals. Often the top results are obsolete, since they are more than a year old.

What drove me nut's, is that their QA didn't catch the bug with the date format order for years. It only recently got fixed.
The calendar selection was regional and put in the date in the regions format (Often dd/mm/yyyy), while the query form expects mm/dd/yyyy.
Just wanted to pipe in as I live in Chattanooga, TN one of the cities mentioned in the report. $58 a month for 100/100 ($70 for 1000/1000 and $300 for 10000/10000. that's right anywhere in the county you can get 10G/10G) and a bill that is always correct.

I am here in part because of the fiber network. That said it is not just the fast internet, but the quality of the service people. They have always shown up on time and gone above and beyond each time. They know how to run a cable properly (drip curve for example).

Plus they have a no data cap and net neutrality pledge.

Everything I mentioned in my comment is why it's less than other intangible assets. Not all intangible assets should be valued equally at their same level of converted fiat. The riskiness of an asset in particular is an important factor.

$100 of XRP is worth less to me than $100 of Google stock because it's 1) less liquid, particularly in times of crisis. 2) More likely to be worth $0.

Tip: while in your case you still have to type something to get rid of the selection, you don't have to put !g at the beginning, anywhere in the query will do. I mostly put it at the end.

Ask HN: Any online community for code/design review and brainstorm
I have been working almost entirely in small start ups in my career and have been learning things of my own. I have completed several hobby projects but I never got any meaningful critique over my system design, code practices and etc.

Basically I might be coding bad, and I would never know as I am without mentor/peer for most of the part. Is there online community where I can discuss/collabrate my ideas/projects?

I know I can get critique of small code snippets at - codereview.stackexchange.com but I really need to understand quality of the overall execution, of the projects I do.
But that's with a full copy of the state of every block, which is redundant and only needed for efficient historical queries. If you just want to fully verify the current state, all you need is the block headers, the current state, and all the transactions, which adds up to about 30GB.

The biggest thing that exercise gives me is the ability to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. That last rep sucks so bad sometimes but you push through which also gives a sense of accomplishment.

I would always give up quickly if things got hard in any part of my life. Pretty much just run away from my responsibilities because I hated feeling bad or stressed. Working out has indirectly made me more comfortable in those situations because it's okay to feel pain (emotional or physical) sometimes. Because of that, I've learned to just get things done with ASAP and, in the end, it's much less total pain.
A brief introduction to Mastodon
Maybe you shouldn't link to the edit URL for your posts.

But on the topic, your example relies too much on pokemon code. What if you have multiple exceptions at different stage of your pipeline? What if two stages can produce the same exception type, and it's important to know which one produced it? What if you need to roll back in the event of an exception, and where the exception took place is important to doing this?

With imperative code, this is tricky. With function composition as presented in your post, it's a nightmare.

The imperative code may not be as elegant as the 'functional' solution, but in the long run, it's easier to maintain.
I used to do just that, but then I found myself always appending !g to the queries.

I think this is a backend thing, so renegade client isn't an issue. The choice is: if the auth system was down, should the video system prevent everyone from seeing video, or let everyone in. If auth is down, some people will be able to watch when the shouldn't be able to, but only for the period of time while the auth system is down.

The math behind Gene Regulatory Networks is basically the same as that used in Neural Networks.

> We could hypothesize dogs are working out calculus problems, or we could just hypothesize that the dog tried it one way, [...] Or, to put it into a human reference frame, we do not do calculus problems to catch things. We "just" catch them. Neurons are built to solve this problem.

But the point remains that you are solving a calculus problem.

I mean, I agree that some of this is over-hyping things, but I think it is actually a really important realization that a lot of people are lacking, often because they are stuck in some completely nonsensical notion of dualism, that your body does a lot of computation.

Just because you are not consciously manipulating numbers does not mean you aren't computing the trajectory of your arm and the necessary activation of muscles to execute that trajectory. It's not that thinking is a prerequisite of computation, but rather computation is a prerequisite of thinking. Your arm doesn't catch a ball by thinking, but rather your arm catches the ball by computation--just as your brain thinks by computation.
It doesn't help that it seems every other project out there is trying to name itself after common words in the lexicon. I dare you to try finding information on the Box library.

As an investment vehicle? Probably.

As a currency?

With that kind of volatility, it would be difficult. If I were to sell my used car today in, say, BTC, it would be tough to determine at what price I want to let it go.

This is not to mention what how the buyer would haggle (e.g. "I think BTC will go up next week, so how about BTC XXX for your 2013 Hinda Civic?").

I don't believe it's religion - it's experience. Google, like Amazon, initially started building scale-out systems by sacrificing strong consistency and transactions. Amazon did it with Dynamo, and Google did it with BigTable. Over time - and with very substantial engineering investment - Google has started walking that back, first with Megastore, and now with Spanner.

What we're seeing happen is a reinvention of a lot of classical transactional systems from a "massive scale-first" perspective instead of a "local transactions on spinning disk fast" perspective. The eventually and causally-consistent systems have something to add, but I don't think it's wise to discount Google's years of engineering experience in this as religion. Rather, it's reflective of starting to operate at a number of engineers scale at which it has become worthwhile investing very dedicated engineering and research effort into supporting a transactional model, at scale, so that thousands of other engineers can be more productive.

There's a chance this experience doesn't generalize -- recall that Google has massive amounts of dedicated inter-datacenter bandwidth with good management and redundancy, the ability to hire dedicated teams of database & distributed systems experts, etc. But it probably generalizes to the other giant companies in the field -- Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Baidu have similarly huge numbers of "non-distributed-systems-expert developers" who need to get stuff done, correctly, and the ability to invest heavily in the infrastructure to make them more productive.

Another way to summarize it is: At some point, you're going to have to fix problems at the application and algorithm level, and not just hope that the underlying storage system makes everything magic. It's easier when those problems are performance problems than when they're correctness/consistency problems.

(Disclaimer: This is my view as a distributed systems professor, not a one-day-per-week Google employee, but I do have that second hat around.)

How or in what way was this warrant deemed to be improper? There was zero consideration of that, instead it was "nuke from orbit" at first sight.

Hrm. That is stretching the definition of scripting quite a bit. No REPL and clearly lower level than shell, Perl, Python, Ruby, no dynamic typing, etc. Not knocking golang at all, but "scripting"?

I would agree that some problems solved by scripting could/should be replaced with something more precise. But golang wouldn't be a great fill in for true scripting needs.

Conflict Resolution with “guns”
I didn't find the appnote I mentioned, but found another that describes exactly the case of detecting baud rate from one or two CR characters (SLAA215, ie. http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slaa215/slaa215.pdf)

As it happens, when you set UART to 115200 then it will receive the CR character transmitted at any baud rate <115200 (with the obvious caveat that you may get additional garbage characters after that) and for standard baud rates between 9600 and 115k2 you will get unique received bit pattern. If you get zero or framing error then the baudrate is 9k6 or lower, so you change speed to 9k6 and retry the same idea (and if you care about less than 1200 you can do this for the third time, but that starts to be somewhat pointless as the really slow tty baud rates will not generate unique and repeatable bit patterns because they are too close together and are not 115k2 divided by some integer).

[Edit: there is not that much special about using CR for that. You want character with LSB set and the lower hamming weight the better, CR is convinient, 0x01 would work better. Obviously the table garbage=>speed depends on what character you choose, but with some clever masking it can probably be made universal at least for every character with LSB set]

It seems that I misremembered what I read about the more general auto detection. It in fact is not more general, but derived from LIN protocol and involves intentionally sending more complex synchronization pattern, consisting of break, some idle time and then 0x55. On the other the MSP430 hardware is capable of locking onto essentially any received baud rate (not only the standard ones) with sufficient precision by doing this.
Yeah, and the defenders of Uber's activities here are acting as if the warrant -was- a fishing warrant and wasn't properly scoped, when the validity of this assertion had zero to do with their decision to "Ripley" the office.

It wasn't to prevent an overreaching warrant, it was to prevent -any- warrant from being meaningfully served.
Tell that to the Zsh community. Or the community for any embedded scripting language -- Emacs Lisp, Vimscript, etc.

Zsh, especially with 'set -eu', is a perfectly suitable, albeit slow, replacement for Perl, which is in my opinion more distasteful.
I'm afraid the author has it wrong when he claims what Google cares about is "It cares about giv­ing you great an­swers to the ques­tions that mat­ter to you right now." It cares about making money via ad revenue. Even assuming that it gives you "great answers to questions that matter to you right now", it only cares about doing so if that results in making money via ad revenue. The result set is a means to an end, not the end itself. If more money can be made via ad revenue by providing some other result set, that is what it will become the preferred method.

Google is not a search business despite opinions to the contrary. A search business would have as its main source of revenue customers paying for either search results or the search technology itself. Google makes its money via the delivery of ads, through its own advertising sales and placement platforms and through the audience it can provide from its own content.
What I do is a little complex, but works fairly well. I store my data in CephFS, mount that read-only (CephX permission also allow only read access) on a Linux box with a ZFS array which uses borg to copy from the mount to the array. The backup box also runs crashplan to back up from the mount.

>>Ethereum's blockchain has a growth rate 2X bitcoin's. If it continues to grow at this pace, it'll eclipse 1 TB in size in 2018.

This statistic keeps being trotted out despite having been repeatedly shown to be extremely misleading:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/7gcheo/the_ethere...

In short: the intermediate states do not need to be stored for full trustless validation. Ethereum nodes now prune intermediate states by default. Bitcoin nodes don't even have an option to store intermediate states. Intermediate state storage is an entirely optional feature and comparing Ethereum nodes that do it to Bitcoin nodes that don't is disingenuous.

It may be that one day, when humanity has had the time to solve the technological problems, and to mature as a species, nuclear may see a (much less expensive) comeback.

The time for this barely understood, infant technology had not yet come when it was pushed hard because of the need to create bombs. A hard, broad look at the psychopathy of those times makes it clear that MAD was not just a strategy, but a confession too.

One thing I really like about Ford and Toyota hybrids, is the transmission is actually simpler than a pure ICE vehicle. I haven't found that many good write ups online, there is one fairly good youtube video (it covers the Toyota implementation, but Ford's is similar).

The transmission consists of one planetary gearset, and two combination motor-generators. The engine is hooked to the planet carrier, the wheels and a larger motor/generator is hooked to the sun gear, and a second motor/generator hooked to the ring gear. When running on the ICE motor, the smaller electric motor acts as a generator. By varying the amount of current going to the larger motor (and/or battery), it effectively changes the gear ratio. When running on battery, the larger motor is used for motion, and is also used for regenerative braking. The smaller motor is then kicked in at a different speed, to start the ICE engine when needed. Of course, the complexity is all in math that drives the software, but there is much less mechanical complexity in that transmission (compared to an automatic, and even to manuals). But the end result is a very smooth acceleration that seamlessly moves between electric and gas as needed (the feeling is pretty close to what you would get if it was all electric).

Neither did the Soviet Union to be honest. Like so many things, what it's called and what it is are different entities. The USSR was a communist-inspired totalitarian command economy. It was not as unprecedented an invention as many would imagine. It was similar to many systems of monarchic and aristocratic rule, the only difference was that the requirements for membership in the aristocracy were ideologically tinged rather than predominantly based on notions of hereditary nobility. It also would have seemed fairly familiar to anyone who had lived under a Bronze age palatial city-state command economy. Modern China has also only ever had an ideologically tinged totalitarian command economy, though they loosened up in the '90s or so and became more of some variant of crony capitalism (just like us!).

If you think bitcoin would make a good currency, ask yourself what happens if you have any debts, lease or mortgage denominated in bitcoin.
