I have respect for Buddhism in general and I have practiced meditation with a teacher 20 years. I understand the need to have a teacher and the need for guidance, but it's human nature for people to abuse others when given too much authority.

I don't think it will work well unless you have several actors. IIRC, one of the main factors giving A3C an edge compared to previous solutions, is that multiple learners from different episodes contribute experience at the same time. This avoids weights being updated too much in one direction. This is similar to what using batches does in supervised learning.

Have interviewed a bunch of bootcampers. Goal is to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Without fail, they lack the fundamental knowledge needed to excel.

For those who don't know, George Soros is a self-appointed alchemist and currency trader.

Powerful and wealthy currency traders, going back since the very invention of moneychanging, have routinely made their fortunes by either waiting and hoping they're lucky enough to have the surfboard ready for massive geopolitical tsunamis... or by being proactive and intentionally creating geopolitical volatility with social engineering, cultural destabilization, and semantic apocalypse.

Pathological altruists often whine about war profiteering, but even that sordid business is downstream of and part of a brilliant and comprehensive currency traders arsenal.

HackerNews is so goddamned disingenuously oblivious to the realities of currency trading and the thousands of years of misery it makes possible.

Ask yourself: Why is HackerNews erasing comments revealing this 100% provable history of forex?
What would be a more fool-proof distributed storage? I tried GlusterFS briefly, but also heard some meltdown stories about it.

It almost seems like if you need some persistent storage running plain NFS would be the safest thing if you don't have a dedicated team.

CS PhD here and worked over a decade. Yesterday, I made a list of over a dozen technical areas in CS I feel inadequate on. I think the issue is not that a CS Masters is easy. It is that CS knowledge is a never ending firehose. When I graduated (2008), most NoSQL systems were not even created. For anyone transitioning from law/medicine to CS, while I welcome you to the field (good for you!! tech is awesome), just be aware that tech gets obsolete very fast. While an older lawyer or doctor may be considered experienced, the newbies right out of school may run laps around you (lots of examples but the creator of Ethereum comes to mind. I know oh so many PhDs who work on distributed systems but it took a Waterloo undergrad student to think out of the box).

Do the Echo devices not have a hard mute switch?

I have a Google Home mini and it's usually on mute unless we want it for the same reasons, or to play trivia.

It is muted for weeks at a time, sometimes.

Of course I wonder how much of a hard mute it is. If you touch the thing while it's on and muted it will kindly remind you it's muted and can't hear you.

It would be nice to gain more insight.
I really really like this creation of yours, and I've already learned a couple things from it.

However, you really really need to be careful about SQL injection. I can see that you tried to lock it down as much as possible, as far as I can tell the account the queries are running under only has SELECT permission (no update/delete/etc). However I was still able to get some data you probably don't want me to have...

This query returns a list of all tables in your database:

SELECT c.relname||'' FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace

And this query returns a list of users and their privileges:

SELECT usename||'', usecreatedb||'', usesuper||'', usecatupd||'' FROM pg_user

I'm also a fan of Gentoo, but realistically, if they were running Debian or Red Hat or a derivative, they would be able to use the recommended releases directly from Ceph:

http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/install/get-packages/

My interpretation of the writeup suggests that most of their problems would have been avoided by running the latest supported release of Ceph, on a supported distribution.

I ran Gentoo servers myself for a few years, but I had to give it up when I realized I wasn't getting much benefit for all the extra effort I was putting in. It was a great way to learn how free software packages interact with each other, but it became a fairly significant time sink to rebuild the world every so often.
Redis and memcached could probably land in the same category. Or at least redis could also fulfill caching needs, most likely.

I agree though. Use the right datastore type for the problems at hand. Which often lends itself to multiple databases.
The vim text editor actually can use the NFA regular expression engine [1] for some searches. I'm not sure if that's an option for some of the languages mentioned in the article.

The "restart after upgrade" lesson is one we learned the hard way too, though typically at the OS level, not the application level.

We had cases where machines with 200+ days of uptime changed from one operations team to another, and the new team did a reboot -- and found that some NFS mounts or ip routes or firewall routes had been added manually at run time, without persistent configuration (like calling mount directly instead of adding stuff to /etc/fstab). Of course, those things were lost after a reboot, and had to be reconstructed somehow.

And this is in an organization with several professional sysadmins per team, not "just" a team of volunteers.

As for the choice of OS: it makes sense to use one that people are familiar with, and that fits their style of operation. I don't want to pass any value judgment on that topic.

All in all, impressive debugging work!

Just about every high school has a football team, equipment is often paid for via fundraisers/carwashes etc if it's not in the budget. Hockey is generally not a high school sport, young people have to pay to participate and do so completely on their own time outside of school.

fetchgit does no such thing. To use it, you need to specify the git revision and the hash of the output; it's a constant-output derivation just like fetchurl.

I don't see how cryptocurrency and the issue of whether its mining is fair (I would argue its the fairest method of distribution ever devised, given in the case of every major cryptocurrency, 1. information about it was published before mining on it began, even if only a small number of nerds had the foresight to immediately take advantage of that information, and 2. its mining method makes for a totally competitive market that is blind to any factor except time and capital expended, but I digress) is relevant to a paper on the origins of money.

If the OP has an axe to grind against it and those with the foresight to start mining early, maybe they can wait for a more relevant story to emerge. As it is, the comment is guaranteed to rapidly divert attention away from the main topic of the submission into yet another debate over cryptocurrency.

The author addresses this on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/7vkvg5/r_i...

DRL is currently CPU-heavy and GPU-lightweight, since you spend most of your time exploring the environment and only a little bit of work updating the neural network on the GPU, so if you have a fairly typical home computer like 6-cores + a Nvidia 1080 GPU, your GPU will go under-utilized while it waits on the 6 actors. So it'll still work, but obviously your wallclock is going to be a lot longer than the numbers in OP and it'll be somewhat worse than you think because your system is unbalanced and has reduced throughput.
Seems pretty anecdotal. Hockey tends to get less press in general than baseball, so I know of a lot more broke white baseball players than broke white hockey players. There's some broke white golfers out there too, that's another money-requiring sport.

Any broke Formula 1 race drivers or tennis players? That's where you'd really look for athletes coming from wealthy families, I think.

> When she can't put together a logical case and has to rely on "this person has kids please don't send them to prison for this crime they obviously committed," she's going to be trying to keep off the most logical and articulate people at any costs.

Nah, people who support nullification based on perception of the specific case and offender circumstances are not generally less logical and articulate than others.

You obviously want to eliminate people who either see the law as inherently just or see it as important to uphold the law even when the result would be unjust, as well as people inclined to see punishing your client as just despite the circumstances. But there's no reason, in general, to think that logical thinking or articulateness are, in general, going to be good correlated for those moral inclinations.

I much prefer an Amazon Locker, or the equivalent postal self-service lockers in my country. I hate the synchronicity of home deliveries. Either I'm at work and not home, or somewhere else but not home. And if I'm home I still have to plan around the expected delivery to be around so that I can sign it off.

With self-pickups it easy. Once I know the package has been delivered I'll just do a little bit of planning to get it on my way next time I'm out.

Deliveries are hard. That's why all logistics and delivery companies are famous for giving bad service because it's nearly impossible to repeatedly do well on such an unforgiving line of work. And this is from companies that have decades of experience to organise deliveries. I'm not holding my breath with Amazon's own deliveries.

The whole complaint in that article seems to be that Koch Industries endorsed a candidate in a letter to their employees.

Reading the article, there were a few points where I felt like I was reading a propoganda piece, which made the complaints about the Koch's newsletter being right-wing propoganda feel superficial and politically motivated, if not outright hypocritical.

Frankly, it's a great example of the sort of thing kbenson and spinchange were talking about above [1].

The compensation is not based on how hard the job is so it doesn't matter. There's a limited amount of people that can do programming, but also limited amount of people that can do safety-critical engineering. Perhaps there is some overlap. But can you engineer a bridge that's used by a billion people every day? Probably not, hence the salary differences.
I think modern game devs create entitlement through games as service models that rely on unhealthy pve or player versus player content either real or implicit, and quickly force them into factions to compete for limited dev time.

The games as service part prevents players from keeping proper emotional distance to games by not allowing them to have closure; to look at the game, say you've beaten it, and move on. Every game needs some kind of grind or persistence beyond the actual play, through online connectivity and often actual player competition. So you kind of prime players through negative play models very often, especially when in-game purchases exist.

What's worse instead of an end to a game, devs are forced into chasing the mythical idea of balance instead. This actually sets players up into warring factions because balance is often zero sum; my warrior gets buffed at the expense of your paladin. There's no existing balance state, ever; you can look at Overwatch to see it just ending up into random changes to heroes that please and incense players in equal measure.

These things combine to make players strung out over time; their nerves are jangled through constant grinding, death (screw roguelikes!), or competition, and then you end up with developer as God who made decide to alter everything to please a particular player faction, or even no one at all but themselves. You make your players invest a hundred hours in your game, and they aren't going to be disinterested enough to take changes in perspective; you don't give them the chance to be, they have to be logged on every day doing busywork either through ranking or grinding.

I think this explains why modern gamers can be so enraged. It's more than personality; a lot of the structure of many modern games can really create this. The games make players too invested in them too easily, over too long a time.
What do you consider small (approx lines of code, number of contributors, number of maintainers, etc)?

I am currently actively looking for contributors for one project I help maintain ( http://zynaddsubfx.sf.net or https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zynaddsubfx ), however I would say it is more of a 'medium' scale FLOSS project. Though it may be a 'small' project based upon how you define things.

Durovs have spent years cultivating this lie of them having been forced to "exile" from Russia, despite being a regular sight in Saint Petersburg.

Pavel even went as far as assaulting someone and taking their phone after he was spotted in a local mall. https://lenta.ru/news/2017/03/20/durov/

Well then you probably wouldn't imagine that Telegram is being developed in the VKontakte HQ building, but nonetheless that is the case.

https://tjournal.ru/52954-durov-back-in-ussr

Maybe Durovs genuinely do hate the Kremlin, maybe not. It doesn't make a difference. They've spent years cultivating their false image as dissidents while remaining extremely close to Putin, whether or not they do so by choice makes little difference.

In most of the US you can't even practice ice skating without paying money. Compare that to the number of basketball courts out there for pickup games, or fields where football could be played. It's not solely that the equipment costs more, it's that practice directly requires money, and practice time is the biggest overall driver of excellence. Professional race driving is another example of this. Tennis another notable one.

If you want a direct non-racial example of this: white hockey player origin distribution, Canadian and Scandinavian-born versus US-born. Guess where the ice is? :)

Baseball is another sport where black participation has declined in the US and the general assumption is that it's similarly because it's harder to find places to practice baseball in modern American cities (while still much more common in Latin America).

Money plays the part in modern life that food used to play on the plains of Africa. You need it to survive and in the past food could not be kept for long. You had to continually be on the lookout for more, it was fundamental to survival.

It was easy enough for people to substitute money for food as the critical thing we need to survive. It's not as easy to give up the instinct of getting more of it everyday.

And why should it be easy? This behaviour meant life or death for millions of generations.
