Before anyone espouses their favorite theory, you should note this study covers Sweden from 1973-2004 which is a very ethnically and relatively-economically homogeneous country with a population of < 10M people.
The numbers differ A LOT if you live in one of the major cities in Germany. The house my parents bought in 2005 in Munich is worth at least 2x at this point from what I have seen in property sales in the neighbourhood.
I guess it’s easier in Sweden which is not especially diverse. Also it’s worth noting that these are convictions so will be missing any unreported violence, or that police didn’t follow up on, or that got off on technicalities
This is really cool! Have you tried using superpixel segmentation? It works well for some biological applications. Grabcut is also immensely useful.

We've been working on a platform for medical image and video annotation tasks. This means we need to support everything from DICOM to large pathology images, and endoscopy videos. We also have it connected to deep learning networks (e.g. Inception v3, YOLO, ENet) so you can easily train or download the JSON for offline analysis.

We'd love to have beta testers from the HN community:

Yes, but why a single header file and not a pair of .c and .h files (personally this is what i do for my small libs)? With a single header file you'd need the user to put it in a specially designated "this is the implementation" .c file anyway.

I can see it for C++ which supports placing code in a header as a language, but C requires jumping over awkward preprocessor hoops that can be avoided by using a .c file.

While I have had my far share of head-scratchers trying to find the proper setting for x, I would certainly disagree that DataGrip has one of the worst UIs. I have used it daily for the past two years with a variety of databases (MySQL, Postgres, and Redshift for the most part), and honestly it seems like the best tool out there right now.

What tool is your preference?
Peter Thiel “Drop Out of School Project”: Did It Fail?

That's pretty clever, actually.
Back in the mainframe days I spent many late nights in the machine room doing systems janitor work. I could easily identify which workload was running, and what phase, by the ambient noise of disk and tape drives.

I can imagine your house chirping and tweeting about, when suddenly you wake from a deep sleep saying "what was that!" when some unusual pattern of sound happens.

The pattern matching and decoding portions of our brain never, ever, stop their efforts and are wired deeply in to the survival mechanisms we have.
I take care of remote access myself, so I don't need the "feature" of having my video streams routed through a server in china so I can view it on the go.

Ironically, if you want a "pure" IP camera, one that you connect to directly, the best way to find one (and "try it out" too) is to look at the models of those that people have exposed to the Internet --- either deliberately or accidentally:

Sweden is pretty ethnically diverse these days and is far more sensitive about race than the US is.

EDIT: But for that period it was not as much, that is true.
I find it useful to allow for the possibility that your entire model of reality (including such "obvious" features as space and time, let alone biology) will evolve on the path. Some traditions maintain that this is all a dream. What might this be pointing to?

Of course, it can be very hard to avoid thinking "sure, my model will evolve, but those things will still be there." Our metaphysics is very hard to give up!

Agreed, but there is a huge, huge amount of people doing very little of value. All the games with low latency and the rules for order placement could be changed to greatly simplify and stop the race to ever-lower latency.

I work in it, it's a total waste of resources.

Our banking sectors are insanely large. Aren't they supposed to be efficient? Why such a large % of the economy?
Funny how, in computing, every new idea is almost always a reiteration of an old one.

One of the arguments for John Backus to create Fortran was to allow non-programmers (of Assembly language) to program. In some sense he succeeded, it allowed a lot of scientists unwilling to understand registers, stack and heaps to program computers. Then Grace Hopper did the same with Cobol for business people. In the end they didn't extinguish the job of a programmer, they just enabled people that thought in higher levels of abstraction to program computers.

This is what Wordpress/Joomla did for HTML coders, what super-optimized C and C++ compilers did for machine-level coding, what Sharepoint is doing for intranet builders, etc. We are constantly moving to higher levels of abstraction and solving more problems but it only increases the need for people skilled with basic notions of programming.

They do, bread pudding, which is also sometimes served as a breakfast food in addition to being a dessert.
I don't know, who are you? Perhaps you may be someone that enjoys walks, beautiful views, or maybe the perfume of a loved one? Maybe you're the type of person that would want to never stop experiencing these things. Or maybe you're the type of person that only does things approved and recommended by [rich person from pop culture]. Yeah, why even take any chances if they're not thoroughly sold to you by some CEO. It's just your existence we're talking about after all. Who are you to exist if [rich person from pop culture] stopped a while ago anyway?
I wonder how much of this backward compatibility is because of the Google Maps API? I'm not sure if these products use the API themselves, but even if they don't the discipline required to have and support an external API means you don't just break old URLs without consideration. There have been deprecations in the Maps API but not many, and each with long lead times.

> Afterwards the russian propaganda idea was fake news, because there has been no evidence that the election has been strongly manipulated by Russian bots or operatives.

With most propaganda there is some truth. There is some pretty good evidence to suggest that Russia was pumping in propaganda by using bots, trolls, and leaks. But most of it seems unrelated to the election.

So it's an oversimplification to act like none of that was happening. But likewise to assume that it was election-related.
You'd be amazed how much signal you can pull out of the noise given modern processing techniques.
3D Brain Model
I don't get all the ranting. I think the author would be better doing a research about the current technologies for doing websites (as opposed to web apps).

For websites I can recommend Bulma, it's an elegant base for modern websites. If you want to manage content for that website you can integrate Hugo an get into the world of static site generators.

If you really want to do anything more complex, there is Vue.js.

You can still use <table>s for layout if you want, there is nothing forcing you to use CSS Grid. But if you do learn it, you'll be able to produce more complex layouts with a little less effort.

There is a free course for that: https://cssgrid.io/

I just moved my blog from WordPress to Hugo + Bulma and have been enjoying the journey all along: https://lobotuerto.com
Wait until we can 3D print a C. Elegans. A new kind of matrix printer.
The ORs for various factors are all lower than the OR for Y chromosomes. I take this to mean we don't really have a good model of what causes persistent criminality, but we do have good evidence that it exists. A frustrating situation.
Ah, had the wrong name, but that's what I was referring to with my discussion of "Zoom". I love the magnifier and use it all the time.
Can someone who is knowledgable on this subject please comment? I am extremely skeptical of the claim that this problem is as easy to remedy as adding more pictures of people with darker skin tones to the training dataset. Are companies really as dumb as not to have tried that after news stories of this nature have been coming out almost as long as facial recognition has existed?

I am more likely to believe that there is something different about people whose faces are misidentified. Similarly dark furred dogs are usually not used in movies because lighter furred dogs photograph better because of how the light reflects off of them. Perhaps it is as simple as photos of darker skinned people are harder to identify the contours of the face, maybe that is why Apple resorted to adding infrared sensors for their Face ID system. Another possibility is the racial backgrounds of people being misidentified are more androgynous looking and that the AI needs to incorporate other attributes like hair style, makeup and clothing as an additional indicator.
I feel the same. I can understand programming, business etc - anything that involves creating something of value and exchanging it for something else of value with money as the medium. Two things that I never understand are - high end art market (a single painting is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, really?) and stocks.

How is stocks not gambling? What exactly is being created here? It is just gambling and speculation, and for that these people (hedge funds especially) get paid insane salaries? And many times they gamble with someone else's money!!! This is incredible to my simple brain.

Maybe The Great Filter (in the context of the Fermi paradox) is this: People printing their own organisms? (only half-joking)
Humans consistently make the same mistake about understand the motivations, the inhibiting and promoting pressures of other people. We assume that everyone else is exactly like us. Therefore, when we build systems and institutions that attempt to alter behavior, we encode our own motivations and desires as the impetus.

I.E. why we have UX researchers, do user testing, A/B testing etc when we develop products. Our instincts about what other folks will pay for/want/value/use are rarely totally accurate.

“I don’t want to go to jail, therefore, jail will be a globally effective crime deterrent” is demonstrably false for this subset of the population.

From a purely behavioral science perspective, we know that humans deeply discount uncertain future downsides compared to short term certain upsides.

If you are interested in this sort of stuff, I strongly suggest reading Mark Kleinman, particularly his work on “swift, certain, fair” as an effective means to address this population and challenge.
I have no idea what they might do, but it's not a law of nature that they have to crack down on access. They have tens of thousands of employees, a single breach isn't evidence that a trusting, open environment doesn't work.
I don't believe this to be true. We've seen quite a few technologies, which promised to "let anyone code", without any real success, whereas to "let AI code" is even harder than letting your boss. At the very least, I expect we'd need another 2 or 3 major, paradigm-shifting, breakthroughs to get computers sophisticated enough to program themselves, which is still 50-60 years away.

I mean, that's my gut feeling; we'll see how it plays out, but for now I'm still not really worried about my job disappearing.

Liquidity has value. Keeping say 10-20k in a checking account seems really dumb, but if that let's you avoid bank over draft fees and credit card interest that savings can easily keep up with inflation.
Sean Barrett (who I think popularized the idea) has a FAQ on this (https://github.com/nothings/stb) where he justifies it by pointing at difficulties with deploying libraries on Windows. Which is a fair point, but by going straight to header-only he skips the step where you can also just distribute a bunch of headers and .C files. The convenience of only having to include a single header is nice for quick weekend projects, but for anything bigger you're dealing with dependencies and build issues anyway.

I get some of the reasons that you would initially start out with a header-only implementation, but when your library grows, you probably want to split it at some point. For me personally, that point would be some time before the header reached 25k (!!) lines.
And perhaps divest ourselves of the idea that putting one time violent offenders in a building full of other violent offenders will somehow reduce the likelihood of future offense.

The challenge is to fix that 1%, without terrorizing the N% who look vaguely similar.
Do we? How do you draw that conclusion from the data? Personality disorders seem to be fairly resistant to treatment/therapy, and certainly more than 1% of the population has issues with mental health, yet they don’t seem to commit crimes at such an alarming rate.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I don’t think your conclusion is directly supported by this study.

How is the system bus radio machine going to receive its ACKs?
Reimplementing parts of the standard library is important for applications where you don't neccessarily have access to a standards-compliant libc (read Windows), or if you have need custom malloc/free implementations. Similar techniques are used in automake and similar build generators to provide non-standard libc function implementations. precompiled headers can help with the fact that good portions of the header will be #ifdef'ed away.
Related to this, there is probably a psychological effect at play where people want to be consistent with what they have said in the past (see Cialdini and consistency theories), so just the act of asking the research participants to articulate their feelings about the person dug themselves into a hole. Talk less and you don't have to entrench.
I found that an odd choice of examples, too. I at least have some sense of the relative sizes of the U.S. and Australia, but without specific knowledge, have no idea about which president died in office first. It's likely I would be more willing to believe a fact if I have nothing to refute it with. I do hope the questions were randomized.
A Survey on Acceleration of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
A complete tangent: I wondered if "prhreads" is a typo of "pthreads", or an actual thing. A quick Google query led me to discover that in Google Books' version of "Applied C++: Practical Techniques for Building Better Software", OCR must have confused 't' with 'r' :).

You wouldn’t literally tax people based in advice they gave; instead it’s a matter of using different funding mechanisms that are incident disproportionately on different groups. Funding stuff with debt is a de facto tax on future generations. Instead, you can e.g. tax 401k withdrawals above a certain amount, higher property taxes, taxes on pension withdrawals, etc.

You can say that not everyone who draws on a 401k contributed to the problem, but that’s besides the point. If you forgive the debt, then nobody who is going to bear the cost will have had anything to do with creating the bubble.
So %1 becomes new kind of Pareto rule. The %1 owns half of the world's wealth and this.
> Persistence in violence was associated with male sex (OR 2.5), personality disorder (OR 2.3), violent crime conviction before age 19 (OR 2.0), drug-related offenses (OR 1.9), nonviolent criminality (OR 1.9), substance use disorder (OR 1.9), and major mental disorder (OR 1.3).

So you are confusing mental/behavior explanations with unscientific correlation-hunting racial explanations that are too popular in discourse.
TBH this looks mainly oriented towards games where usually the only UI accessibility you have to be concerned about is for people with color blindness.
I'd argue, something like Mailgun/SendGrid/alikes are not really better than e.g. my home mail server.

But GDB is not to blame, modern compilers, with optimizations turned on, generate code that can hardly be matched back to the source code.

In my experience, GDB should get some blame at least --- far too many times I've seen it fail on code of the form

var = foo();

where the value of var will clearly be in the return value register after executing the function call, but GDB steadfastly refuses to display var, claming it's been optimised out and unavailable. Inspecting eax/rax clearly shows the value is available.
If I said I could identify a group of people who are responsible for all the horror in the world, you’d think think I was an idiot.

A lawyer can make a small modification to a drug patent that helps a company earn for example $2B a year for 15 years rather than 12

A lawyer can make a change in a corporate structure to lower a company's tax rate indefinitely

From the perspective of lawyers adding value to the law firm, a good lawyer can do this with dozens or hundreds of clients a year, and increase the firms revenue by bringing in tons of new clients. Creative lawyers can also figure out a way to differentiate themselves in a particular sector, like tech startups, and one lawyer who becomes a leader in an area can add millions in rev to the firm a year, for many years, by bringing in new business

Some law firms also take equity, and good decisions about when to do this can bring in huge windfalls

If this application is important to people in general, it wouldn't stop being important just because you happen to be blind or otherwise disabled. If everyone uses a particular walled-garden service for some daily task, blind people need to use it too, just the same as everyone else.
Fair point. I suppose that means the Oxford comma is actually necessary in this case.
They didn't analyze IQ?
Let me put it this way: the current “standard” criminal justice system is exceedingly effective at dissuading the sort of people who designed and operate the system from committing crime, but those folks are not the population that in fact commit crimes.
Not really surprising, you must consider that most of our jails and prisons are like criminal universities. Most barely offer any rehabilitation, if at all, but people can learn about how to be better criminals from other criminals.

Yeah. Looking at the data, we could prevent 90% of violent crimes by locking up all men. Somehow, I don't think most people here would go for that.
It's because "Worm Uploaded to a Computer" primes the reader to expect something about malware, but then "Trained to Balance a Pole" completely violates that expectation.
