A Complete Guide to Build a Customized E-learning Platform
In AI there have been experiments where agents need to communicate and cooperate in order to solve tasks. They developed a kind of "language", as a result. It's just what happens when cooperation has an evolutionary advantage.

An agent needs to model its environment in order to plan successful strategies. But when the environment contains other agents, it becomes necessary to model them too - thus, create representations that can predict future actions of those agents. When applied on the agent itself, these models create the "ego", a representation useful in predicting the agent's own future actions. All this is necessary in order to maximise rewards in the game (and by game, I mean life, for humans, and the task at hand for artificial agents).

People are reluctant to use openZFS on Linux as it can't be included in the kernel due to license issues. I'd still say it has widespread adoption when you consider the people willing to run it on Linux and how popular it is on FreeBSD/some other systems.

I think we can have decentralized technolgy without blockchains though.
I like having junior developers on my team and always ask to have at least one, but the reality is that we can't really afford to have more than about 20% of the team being junior.

There are some problems that aren't really addressed by the article. The main issue is that it's much, much, much easier to write bad code than good code. Even when you have a couple of decades under your belt, it's hard to write good code. While bad junior developers will sit around browsing Facebook all day, good junior developers will spend their time churning out hundreds and hundreds of lines of bad code. Mentoring or not, dealing with the fallout of that code is not trivial. And the volume of it can be daunting!

There is an additional problem that people's expectation of junior, intermediate and senior is skewed. The vast majority of people I've interviewed think it's reasonable to be "intermediate" or even "senior" after 1 or 2 years of experience. Their increasing confidence in their ability (which is admittedly improving rapidly at that stage of their career) translates into demands for more authority. Handling that transition is often difficult -- it is normal to completely screw up several projects before you figure out how to really be a good senior developer. It is also (unfortunately) normal to be completely unaware that you are screwing up those projects (even many years after the project is completed).

So when you hire a junior developer, you need to mentor them. You need to fix up problems that they create. But you also have this kind of time bomb where they will be pushing to break things on a much bigger scale. You have to be prepared to help them through that period. If you have 4 or 5 juniors on a team of 8, God help you in 2 years.

Which is not to say that you don't need juniors. However, keep in mind that the potential length of career of a programmer is something like 40-45 years. It should not be strange to have a team with several people who have more than 20 years under their belt -- and yet it is often very strange.

I used to consider Tononi as the best philosopher of consciousness until I learned more about neural nets and watched the RL course [1] by David Silver (co-author of AlphaGo).

After I understood the RL paradigm, I realise that Tononi's explanation barely scratches the surface. Yes, there is integrated information, but how does it come about? What is its purpose?

The answer is simple - painfully simple - the goal is to maximise rewards. One goal we all have is to live and have children - and this root goal (a necessity of the genes to propagate, actually) is what guides the evolution of integrated information in the brain. But the environment plays a crucial part in the contents, structure and complexity of consciousness. Integrated information is very dependant on the environment. Yet Tononi & co. still search for it in the brain, as if you can speak of a brain without considering its experiences, and consider experiences without thinking about the world and the problems the agent has to solve.

Just watching reinforcement learning agents learn and evolve in simulated environments, as we had the opportunity for the last 3-4 years, is enough to create a perspective about agents that is not human centric and that is very useful in thinking more clearly about consciousness. You can see a humanoid learn a gait that is like the Ministry of Silly Walks [2], you can see bots playing FPS games, AlphaGo playing against itself, cars driving themselves... That puts human learning and human agenthood in perspective.

I think it boils down to two things that are not mutually exclusive:
1. Are you building a monolith?
2. What does your org chart look like?

I work for a fairly large company where a monorepo doesn’t make a whole lot of sense because each team runs several services that get released or patched independently. If you have a large product composed of many components that need to function together as a cohesive whole, go ahead, use a monorepo.

You're technically correct in that it does provide some value, but it is a waste in the sense that it is CPU mining which is far less efficient than mining with GPUS or ASICS.
But does that hard problem actually do anything? If it was something like Folding@Home, I could see the value. It seems to me, the only “value” in this hard problem is to waste electricity.
This seem like a natural micropayment system that could free content producers from the need to rely on advertisments and tracking for income. That seems like a good thing, and a formalized method to do so within a browser could speed adoption.
Would be interesting to pull their destination bitcoin address and see stats of how many nano-bitcoins they've mined so far.
It's pretty easy to proxy the request to a cryptocurrency miner pool through the web server of the main site. e.g. https://github.com/cazala/coin-hive-proxy

Site owners have incentive to run this proxy so they're not marked as a mining site OR to circumvent the X% fee that coinhive/other cryptocurrency pools collect.

So the adblock/ublock origin fixes will only work until site owners decide to start proxying. IMO search providers should penalize sites with poor performance (as they already do) and site owners are penalized if they suck the consumers CPU.

The only thing people are actually using Bitcoin for right now is to sell to other people for more than they bought it (or maybe to sell for less than they bought it to launder money).

The total amount made by the buyers and sellers is zero (because every buyer is buying from a seller), and there has to be a constant inflow of new buyers just to cover the cost of the hardware and power.

Yes, and lack of proper tools is of course the main reason against a monorepo. Google had to develop most of its dev tools internally.
Neoliberalism(as leftists use the word) is used quite appropriately here. See Zizek:

> Let’s turn to the high point of our consumerism. Let me take a drink.

> Starbucks coffee. I’m regularly drinking it, I must admit it. But are we aware, that when we buy a cappuccino from Starbucks, we also buy quite a lot of ideology? Which ideology?

> You know, when you enter a Starbucks store, it’s usually always displayed in some posters, their message, which is: “Yes, our cappuccino is more expensive than others,” but, then comes the story.

> “We give 1% all our income to some Guatemalan children to keep them healthy, for the water supply for some Saharan farmer, or to save the forest, to enable organic growing for coffee, or whatever or whatever.”

> Now, I admire the ingenuity of this solution. In the old days of pure, simple consumerism, you bough a product, and then you felt bad. “My God, I’m just a consumerist, while people are starving in Africa . . .”

> So the idea is that you had to do something to counteract your pure, destructive consumerism. For example, I don’t know, you contribute to charity and so on.

> What Starbucks enables you, is to be a consumerist, without any bad conscience, because the price for the countermeasure, for fighting consumerism, is already included into the price of a commodity. Like, you pay a little bit more, and you’re not just a consumerist, but you do also your duty towards the environment, the poor, starving people in Africa, and so on and so on.

> It’s, I think, the ultimate form of consumerism.
That’s Pavlovian I’m going to guess.
At least Youtube and Facebook offer this feature. It's pretty standard. The problem is that a lot of their inventory is an inch wide and a mile deep.

The rule is roughly "narrow targeting, cheap impressions, reasonable frequency, pick any one". A shady ad agency (but I repeat myself) will never pick "reasonable frequency" because their advertisers aren't sophisticated enough to ask if their ad is being sent to one person 50 times in a day.

It only takes one buyer to not set the frequency control option to spam you with the same ad over and over -- everyone else is one-and-done.

Or remove incentives for having multiple accounts in the first place (even multiple public identities should be something handled by your system without need for re-log), and stop messing with emails. On one hand, even your assumption that a shared inbox implies one person is wrong (I don't like it when people share inboxes and consider it toxic, but it is what it is), and your mitigations are futile (it's between cheap and free to just have an entire domain point to your one inbox - your 'federated gmail' is easily such a case).

It's not like SpaceX didn't break things either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvim4rsNHkQ.

You think you want huge trucks and gigantic engines, because you've been indoctrinated by decades of focused marketing.

"It's MANLY to drive a big truck. Aren't you a MAN? Shouldn't you be driving a truck to show how MANLY you are?"

The Big 3 deliberately soul this up, because their profit margins on truck sales are huge, and because of CAFE exemptions that let them ignore fuel efficiency requirements.

Add to this a general misconception of "bigger is better", which pervades the American mindset, and there you are. Pointlessly big and inefficient vehicles, that really have no business in general traffic.
St Pancras is a beautiful piece of architecture, and has some nice shops, but the pattern of circulation was completely wrecked during the redevelopment, perhaps to encourage people to visit said shops. Happily, the one trip that isn't a massive pain is getting to and from the Eurostar terminal. Security is pretty quick to get through, but there's nothing much on the far side, so leave it until the last minute, and enjoy the station, or even better, if riskier,

Gare du Nord is architecturally pretty average for Paris, ie beautiful, at least from the outside. The shopping is disappointing: the best bakery for a last-thing-you-eat-in-France snack is a Paul, of which there are dozens in London anyway. Security is again pretty quick, and past it there are some comfortable enough chairs, and some overpriced and fairly useless shops.

The atmosphere inside St Pancras is better than inside Gare do Nord - it's brighter and arier. That's pretty much the only difference, though.
They intentionally aim off-target, and have the final engine burn steer them back into the landing.

If an engine relight doesn't happen, they won't hit the barge.

I think the biggest danger to the barge is a final engine relight without enough fuel, or with a guidance and nav systems failure or error.
That's an imprecise version of the history but what does it have to do with modern iPhones?

Many people said GUIs were too inefficient to be worthwhile on early PCs. Then PCs got more powerful and no one says that any longer.

The iPhone 8 is orders of magnitude more powerful than early versions. The world has changed and those old arguments no longer make sense.
I do not understand why it’s hard to see at least the end result. Before switching on the ads and after switching on the ads.

I am sure a company as big as proctor and gamble has at least a team of people who are dedicated to gather the end to end metric. Then where’s the gap?
Could you illustrate, preferably with an example, how weak type system would have worked better than a strongly typed system?
FWIW it has been included in stock Ubuntu since 16.04 LTS so it is widely available, and likely more in use than assumed.
Unfortunately the politicians who propose this tend to get replaced, due to lobbyism, and the average voter's general ignorance.

People don't want to face the fact that they're doing something bad. They want to live in la-la land.

You think Apple needs lock-in to keep customers but it doesn't. That's how Microsoft operates.

Apple should move to PWAs because they're better technology than native apps. Users and developers would prefer PWAs if they were well implemented, which is all Apple needs to know.

I'm so tired of this evil label narrative. It's unfair to reduce them to those 5 major labels.

Particularly on Bandcamp there are countless small, honest labels that act as a curator and really help to develop their artists while taking a fair cut. Being featured on one of them is a huge opportunity for most artists.
An ex-Facebook employee told me that to stay productive, developers unfollow everyone and only use Facebook for events - it's too addictive otherwise.

We're currently in Austria and my daughter likes to watch "Mia and Me" which she used to watch back in England, in Austria the only option is for German dubbed audio, English is the source audio, I've no idea why it isn't available here.
For those of us with personal data limits, that could be annoying. I did that once, forgot to disconnect and it used like 2gb (of monthly 8gb) performing sync “over WiFi”.
And Apple cares about this problem you can tell because the WiFi off button now only lasts 24hr before automatically turning back on (to avoid data waste).
I'm curious why you believe to be able to tell that my comment is not accurate when you yourself admit that you have no idea about deep learning?

Note that I'm not saying that Google is doing something stupid or leaving potential gains on the table. What I'm saying is that their methods make sense when you are able to perform enough experiments to actually make data-driven decisions. There is just no way to emulate that when you don't even have the budget to try more than one value for some hyperparameters.

And since you mentioned chess: The paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/1712.01815.pdf doesn't go into detail about hyperparameter tuning, but does say that they used Bayesian optimization. Although that's better than brute force, AFAIK its sample complexity is still exponential in the number of parameters.
I'm not arguing that one-size-fits-all; there are many legitimate parenting styles. The books argue about these, and the article is right, we shouldn't worry. But daycare just isn't one of them, as I've explained. It's the opposite of parenting.

>I believe this must be correct in the majority of cases.

Hey Billy, I think I chatted with you over Skype a little while ago :). From what I've seen your team's teams effort seem the most inline with what I'm wanting but there are a couple things I haven't yet seen from lensVR:

- Desktop support (I have a Vive and I think you mentioned its only available for gearVR right now)

- Multitasking, all the images on your twitter seem to only have one site at once

- Fallback to 2D site (If Im in a webVR version of reddit and I click an unknown url I need to be able to multitask on
that site even if it doesn't have 3D support)

Since I have yet to find a vendor heading towards support for these things, currently Im using a fork of firefox where I just hacked out a bunch of security settings. Right now it lets me load iframes and pull content from them into webVR but it was just a quick way to get it working as I'd prefer if each separate tab could draw to its own layer and then be composed with other tabs (Im hoping this is part of WebXR standard but it sounds like it wont be there for a long time).

If you have anything else to share with me or if you have any additional questions for me, Id be happy to answer. I would LOVE to get a browser I could target so I can stop worrying about building my own browser and focus on my web apps.

Thanks!
