> President Donald Trump has yet to name a science adviser, leading some to declare that Fox News is filling the position.

This is petty drivel, from the pointless and nonsensical jabs, to the bizarre assumption that PhDs make better politicians.
Do those costs somehow not apply to ARM SoCs?
> It has to offer a superset of your wants, her wants, his wants, etc or you will love it, but they will go elsewhere

So that's bloated then ?
Most 'dumb laws' are not really on the books, they're just applying reductio ad absurdum to a judge's decision in one specific case.
You're right. We were just trying to have some fun with it in the spirit of healthy competition. I reposted it separately.

But it can easily be argued that it's been a zero-sum game, where one actor has been forced to use more targeted ads because others have been more efficient (cheaper) by doing so. It's not like ads spending has increased; unless you're arguing that consumption has increased due to targeted/invasive ads?

I disagree. If we let little monocultures exist they grow into big monocultures (Windows "monopoly", Facebook "monopoly" etc). I put "monopoly" in scare quotes because they had the de facto high ground rather than being monopolies in the Standard Oil sense.
From one explanation I've read [1], they actually maintain two AFR "zones" in the cylinder; one rich zone around the spark plug, with the rest of the cylinder maintained lean enough for compression ignition. Then by igniting the rich mixture via spark, little NOx and less heat is produced, while the remaining lean mixture probably producing negligent NOx as expansion occurs after TDC.

If they can control it tightly enough, they can probably maintain the exact pressures and temperatures to just skirt under EPA/Euro requirements in a wide range of conditions, and switch to regular spark ignition outside of that range.

> The particular paragraph is mangled to the point of being gibberish

You just discovered the poor quality of LSTM generated text. It might come as a surprise to you, but it's legend between AI researchers :-(

If it's not translation (such as in chatbots, image captioning, or computer generated text in general), it's even worse. Unfortunately we can't generate text that makes sense. We can only do it in very specific cases and with lots of errors. Other language models are even worse than LSTMs.

The problem is that automated translators don't have real world experience and can't think causally. Humans can, because we are in possession of a body and live inside a complex world. We can experiment to test our hypothesis, GT only sees text and can't test anything.
That is absolutely incorrect. Communism has no private property, but also has no state. You are thinking of socialism. That said, there are no large scale examples of real-world communist societies, so it is for the most part purely hypothetical, unlike socialism which has many real-world examples.

You may be confused because of all of the states where the main political party is called the Communist party, but those states do not self-identify as communist. They self-identify as socialist states that are in the process of transitioning to communism.
I learned a few things, despite having used Postgres for many years: (1) the filter clause with aggregates to more succinctly pivot tables, (2) the not-valid clause with check constraints to apply only to new data while leaving old rows alone, and (3) something about inverse-distribution functions --- I actually didn't learn these yet but bookmarked it for later, because it's too hard to read on a Saturday ;)

It really is amazing how much you can prepare your data before it leaves your database, or how raw you can leave your data before sending it there, letting Postgres take care of it. I wonder how much middle code would be saved (PHP, Python, Perl, etc.) if more programmers knew more SQL, and especially if they chose Postgres more often. I also wonder why SQL seems to be the language that developers know least, even though it seems like it should be easiest, with its declarative, natural-sounding syntax. (I admit that the naturalness is deceptive. Just because "select color, count(1) from favorites where age < 13 having count(1) > 3 order by 1" sounds like English doesn't mean you can tell exactly what it will do before reading the manual.)
That is a pretty awesome bit of trivia. I assume they did some basic fact checking, and if Hinton's grandfather was not Boole, he probably would notice this in the article and correct it.

It certainly seems plausible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Boole
The Book and The Wisdom of Insecurity, both by Alan Watts. Then I could have inoculated myself from the myopic obsession with eco-consciousness promoted by the rest of the books in this thread.
I am on Internet since 1992 and I do miss absolutely nothing. Websites were horrible, with limited usability and you then had to send a cheque or call.

Today internet life is simply better, with much much more choice.
I'll probably be grabbing one as soon as it makes fiscal sense again. Kinda bummed for the price point, but they aren't a charity.

It'd also be nice if they had an exposed PCIe slot and/or exposed DIMM slots at this price point, but GbE is good enough for rapid testing.
> If you break an engineered system down into its components..

I disagree. Yes, Unix is deliberately engineered to allow for bricolage. But many (most) things aren't. Take for example classic PC and the iPhone. You cannot break down iPhone to it's components and remix them. You could do that with a PC, to some extent.
Many current congress members are lawyers and physicians. I welcome additional people with backgrounds demanding rigor. For example, in SF we have policies to help the homeless, but often fail to live up to their expectations. Politicians push through feel good measures that aren't based on rigorous studies.

Npr will often cite some idea based on a small study somewhere which hasn't been replicated elsewhere. Maybe technologists will require more rigor than we now do.
And that must be why I have yet to hear it, as I never took CS.
The article neglected to directly mention the new transaction features, but etcd 3.3's txn semantics are much more powerful than 3.2. It's what makes the new key leasing feature work and can be used to support key range queries over STM as well.

Best Kali Linux Books for Advanced Penetration Testing and Security Auditing
20 years ago I used JavaScript to make cute Neopets pages, but today I get asked about how to use it for scalable web services in job interviews. That’s kind of crazy to me! It’d be like if Google made a JIT for LOGO and we all went nuts blogging about using it for ORMs.

I think JavaScript’s core foundation is changing because its use cases have rapidly changed. Like C++ or PHP though, it likely has a lot of legacy cruft.

Are any Ruby experts able to chime in if its language/runtime changed much after Rails hit the scene?
He never did explain why Frank and his Danish friend used Google Translate despite both being fluent in each other's native languages. I read right through mainly to try and find that out.
I'd like to add this to the list: a Catalog of Missing Devices that can be easily read from a cellphone.
I remember similar conversation from long ago times, but instead of chrome we had IE6.
You know hacking is not just possible because the data is centralised. Hacking is possible because there are bugs in the software or the configuration - or simply there is a weak human element. So the so-called "Web3.0" will be secure as long as you fix all of these problems.
Firefox reader view.
One thing i liked about Win9x was that i could move the C drive between motherboards and things would boot just fine.

These days if it does not balk about missing drivers it will be some kind of DRM check that fails.

BTW, i could have sworn that at least the UI layer of Win3.x was found inside Win95 in the form of Progman.exe.
I've noticed the same thing -- often people refer to the "hive mind" feeling one way or another.

Rather than assuming individuals are just fickle, I think it makes much more sense that individuals are often only vocal about things they disagree with. We as readers don't know those individuals and lump them into our "hive mind" concept, as mistakenly assume that people's minds have changed.
Apparently their branch predictor doesn't alias the branch addresses, so it's much more difficult to "train" it in the fashion necessary for Spectre.

This would also be a pretty straightforward mitigation for Intel, so the whole "they need to redesign the whole core from the ground up!" thing may be a bit overblown. Cache behavior will need to change a bit, for sure, but we probably don't need to smash the looms and go back to using non-speculative ARM cores.

I tend to think AMD probably has some vulns lurking in their uarch as well, the difference is that Intel has a massive amount of marketshare in the server world and their hardware gets shaken down first as a result. I'm just a random internet nobody but Anders Fogh said the same thing in an interview with Gamers Nexus: Spectre is not much less severe for AMD than Intel, these are the opening shots of a whole new class of attacks and there are more to come now that we are looking for them.
I don't think it's bizarre to assume that a PhD is best to be a science adviser.
We've become too entitled and can't appreciate the huge amount of work that went into automatic translation any more. If GT doesn't cut it, we can always take a ... you know ... dictionary and do it by hand. Google search isn't perfect either, Wikipedia has errors, Twitter has bots, why are we bothering to use them? Because they are better than not having them.
Why stay away? Because the setup implies poor value physical product?
I don't understand how it took an entire book to show that a linear classifier can't learn the xor function.
There've been cycles & fads in the meantime, though.

I remember that in the early 90s, neural nets were supposed to be the huge new thing. Many scanners shipped with built-in OCR, the Apple Newton had handwriting recognition on a PDA, and my Centris 660AV could do speech recognition & text-to-speech out of the box.

But they ultimately weren't powerful enough to satisfy customers or meaningfully change how people interacted with computers, so they failed in the market, and the hype cycle moved on to the World Wide Web.

I guess this shows the power of continuing to study something when the fad goes away, so that you're well positioned to capitalize when the next fad hits.
It says that you use a password manager and did not try to invent a slick password to be someone else.

So if you also were a woman in her 30-40, fair hair, sporty, liked art and science, did not like to travel, liked spending time with friends or code - you would be a great match.

Otherwise nice password!
Contrary to how the article frames it, the play here is to starve Nvidia of oxygen by hitting their gaming business. Intel's biggest worry now is that they lose whole market segments to ARM-based systems with Nvidia GPUs. Nvidia has long had ambitions to own more of the platform, and there is a serious threat of them running away with the market by being the best at GPU performance and good enough everywhere else.

Intel has already made a move to rework their GPU development by effectively starting over(see: recruiting Raja Koduri to work in the same kind of leadership position he had at AMD previously while developing Vega). But they need a stopgap for the coming years, and this is one way to attack.

The Vega M package is a technically interesting product(size, integration, possible economies of scale), but it's primarily a win for market share because Intel can cram it down the throat of OEMs to stop them from using Nvidia. They would happily cut their margins to do so.
You don't see a moral/ethical argument for making sure your PCs don't become part of a botnet?

I don't see any evidence that giving someone who knows what they're doing the ability to control which updates they deploy and when will cause them to become part of a botnet. Are you suggesting that Windows 10 Enterprise should be similarly constrained for the same reason?

And even if systems do become part of a botnet, the correct solution to that problem is to cut off the offending systems at ISP level anyway, not to rely on their own local security in any particular respect.

But on the principle of the thing, you are being negligent

Objecting to a system that requires automated deployment of arbitrary updates, including updates that may upload arbitrary data, is not only not negligent, it may be positively required for regulatory compliance depending on your circumstances.

The anti-vaxxer parallel is extremely relevant here, if everybody thinks like that then we have a problem.

No it isn't, and this naive and superficial analogy really needs to die.

At the end of the day you're just going to have to trust Microsoft to put out good patches.

Microsoft have proved, beyond any reasonable doubt, that such trust is unjustified. Try again.

But if you don't trust them, why are you running their operating system?

Because the Microsoft of a few years ago that produced Windows 7 is a very different Microsoft to today's that produced Windows 10.

Do you have similar concerns about upstreams in the Linux community? You know patches can break things there too, right?

And yet in many years of running many systems for multiple organisations, the total downtime I have experienced due to Debian unattended security updates is 0, and the number of reports I have ever read of others suffering a bad update through that channel is also 0.
I would argue the opposite, assert() statements are the best way to write defensive and secure C. There might have been a time when people commonly compiled out assert() statements from binaries, but that is only OK if the software was designed for that. Otherwise, that would be like me saying I am going to compile out all strlen() statements from a given binary and then expect it to behave the same.
Heh - yeah, then obviously the US versions won't work.

Perhaps the Canadian one?

China has its own highly addictive social media.
In principal, I agree. I'm certain Slack has run the numbers and decided the ROI of implementing cross-browser video calling is lower than whatever else they're investing engineering time into. Sure, they have a lot of capital, but it's a large undertaking. A vocal minority of Twitter users shouldn't sway this.

In practice, it's pretty lame that they've had voice calling for almost two years, and this has never been available in Firefox. We're not talking about old IE here. A basic implementation of voice only calling is not hard to do.
I'd agree with you, except that the surveillors are themselves immune to surveillance, so it's very difficult for us to ensure they do not abuse power.

Either let us watch the watchers, or don't let them watch.
Advisers are not politicians. They are (supposed to be) subject matter experts who inform policy-makers on complex topics.

From this perspective, PhDs would on average make better science advisers than your average person.

In default configuration Windows 95's and NT 4's File Explorer works in essentially same way as classic Finder (ie. what is called "spatial file manager" today). I think that popularity of various orthodox file manager is at least partially caused by how unusable that was in Windows with small displays of the day.
From the PDF: "Each U54 core has a high-performance single-issue in-order 64-bit execution pipeline, with a peak sustained execution rate of one instruction per clock cycle.". I.e. lower performance per clock vs an ARM Cortex A53 (2-way in-order execution 64 bit CPU).

As prototype, the price is OK, in my opinion. In volume there is no reason for not selling a tiny board with those specs for under 40 USD (e.g. 2GB RAM Pine 64 quad Cortex A53 boards with gigabit ethernet are below 30 USD, including 3D and video acceleration).
Where is it written that it applies only to third party cookies? AFAIK the old cookie law only allowed cookies without permission, first party or third party, where they were required for website to function, e.g. shopping cart cookies. I interpret this as banning even those cookies that improved user experience, but that weren't strictly required for the website to function.
Ask HN: How does one identify markets and their sizes?
Can you rephrase your questions so that it's clear what answer you're looking for? As written their answers appear to be verbatim what I wrote in the comment you're replying to.
And just to prevent the inevitable allow me to add:

"...and that is trivial to set-up and use for most people".
The other way around is just convenience. Lots of people do that. This way requires deliberate (useless) effort to do it.

FireFox, ThunderBird, WikiPedia. All wrong and all look ugly, same as 'BitCoin'.

It does mean however, that you don't know how to write it correctly.

This is why I thought that you don't have much knowledge about it. (directed to the OP).

And again, this doesn't apply to the other way around.
When I say 'compiled' I'm abusing the term to mean they have any kind of build step, and could not be written the same way by dropping code into a script tag [1] as said in the parent comment. For the most part what comes out of the build process could be replaced with WASM at a whim, whenever it gains access to all the DOM and browser APIs.

The majority of news, social media, video, media sites, message boards, online games and web apps fit this description. I'd wager that 95%+ of websites produced by a paid professional today are in this category. Unfortunately no, I don't have data to back this up, only my perception as a web developer.

Windows 95 actually had a soft limit of 512MB of RAM, but if you modified some config files you could get it to recognize up to 2GB in some cases... but it would cause pretty significant system instability.

Love the sentiment, but that suggests that the public has access to these tracking data. (We also need access to police emergency calls and locations, which we might already have, IDK.) I'd be quite surprised if the vehicle data would be made public.

I am perfectly happy for sales to have an input into my priorization of my engineering team. Viewing sales, marketing, customer project management as an enemy is not productive.

Within a year or so, I've had a couple of requests of 'Ok sales is offering X, but honestly, we might order X like 18 more times, and each X might be 12 times bigger than the last X.' Scary. Sure. But you know what? Those were big customers. I went with my team, I made a big plan which included a bunch of technical debt cleanup, and refactoring things towards a cleaner structure for their need and gave sales that as a pitch, and also kinda included whatever they wanted to pay us for as a benefit. We've been paid gold to clean up our code, I tell you. And a number of small customers later, we're just making money off of that.

Walls don't just exist between Dev and Ops, guys.
Is this a good thing? Governing is at its essence people management, and the best scientists don't always make the best managers. They may not be persuasive enough to rally others to their cause, or see the importance in doing so, or understand the give-and-take of politics, just the crusade for "truth." A scientist may be better and smarter, but impotent and walked over if he can't actually do politics with other messy humans.

Bill Nye and Degrasse Tyson come to mind.
Or maybe one could reasonably expect that Google, with all that money and engineering power, would implement something like a dictionary lookup to short-circuit single word translations?

Edit: I did not want to complain about the translation quality nor show my sense of entitlement. You have authoritatively stated and used a some jargon to tell us it doesn't use English when translating between languages, so I simply wanted to understand more about this process because, on the surface, it looks like English was involved in my specific example.
ARM SoCs aren't made in low numbers for just a bunch of dev boards, or when they are made that way it's for the first initial testing runs and not publicly available at actual prices.

All these ARM single-board computers use chips that are produced for other purposes in way larger numbers (some of the Raspberry Pi models might be an exception and actually have a slightly customized design just for them, but I'm not sure about that).
Oh wow! Hello from TheMoog hahah. Small world, eh?
Googles own devices and Android One devices are a tiny subset of Android devices. From what I see on Android apps, most are using the standard OS webview not Chrome.
This is not open source specific but what I do to any code base I am expected to understand and be prouductive with.

I usually start by running cloc and sloccount to get an idea of the metrics of it, languages line of code estimates etc...

I progress to looking at the tests if there are any. They usually give an idea of how the authors expect things to work.

Once I have browsed some of the tests, in particular integration tests I start following how they work through the code. Your IDE of choice will help out here or failing that use ripgrep, ack, the silver searcher, searchcode server (note I run this so I am biased), sourcegraph.

One thing that I have found especially valuable is running something to determine the cyclomatic complexity of the code. Knowing which parts are complex is a good way to determine where you should focus your time.
Thanks ms for your kind words!
Apologies, I was using the acronym for Audio/Video and assumed it would be understood from context, but I could have been more clear.
They're a multi-billion dollar corporation that has launched several train wrecks, including two from within the very same team that we're talking about here, in recent years. Of course there are parallels with whether they could produce Windows Vista that a lot of people didn't want, Windows 8 that a lot of people didn't want, and Windows 10 that a lot of people don't want now. Your argument that they have lots of smart people who wouldn't get a basic business strategy wrong just doesn't hold water, at all.
You're making a lot of assumptions and leveraging old stereotypes. There "seem" to be plenty of great managers, department heads, professors who are in charge of large programs with many stakeholders etc.

The stereotype of the aloof scientist who's unable to connect with people really needs to go away imo.
