Does getting people addicted to heroin add value? Because people will exchange their dollars for that too.

Just because people pay money for something doesn't mean it adds value or creates wealth. Rolling Stones is a tough case, some entertainment is necessary, but at what level and cost is up for debate, it's not like I have all the answers.

How many of these elders do you need to care for your children though? 2, 4, 8, 16, ...?
Maybe grandmother hypothesis works, but evolution would not care much for a great-grandmother hypothesis.

This actually seems consistent with the current lifespan of human beings. Most people have grandparents when they are children. Very few people have great-grandparents.

I've contributed to a handful of well-known open-source projects over the years, some more, some less. It has always required quite a bit of effort to land patches. That usually gets easier the longer you're involved in a project and the maintainers see that you care about the project and you have a reputation for working with them to contribute quality improvements.

I appreciate that a project can't just allow contributors to "throw code over the fence" as it were. There's a delicate balance between maintaining code quality and not accepting everyone's pet feature, moving the project forward, and not turning contributors away. I think sometimes a bit of friction is a good thing insofar as it requires contributors to have some skin in the game.

All that said, this really looks like a minor issue here. That's why this one in particular makes me sad. The effort to land it vs effort to fix it is completely out of whack. There ought to be a simpler process for trivial fixes. Yeah, I know sometimes what seems trivial may be hard to assess or ends up introducing regressions. I'm still shedding a tear.
I'm not sure. Throwing a few dozen missiles from long range against a carrier group, complete with airplanes, may not work very well. They'll have a few dozen fighters, multiple Phalanx guns, shipboard missiles, and a lot of electronic counter-attacks. I think they will only be "easily" overwhelmed if they've got an attack method that is hard for the carrier group to counterattack. That is harder than it looks.
You know, I'm still not 100% certain whether there's a substantive difference between the "computational graph" perspective and this "functor" approach. Actually the feeling is sort of eerily familiar, because I spent most of my PhD confused about whether these grammar formalisms I was working with where really just notational variants, or whether there were significant differences. About the grammar formalisms, I ended up deciding that in theory there wasn't, in practice there sort of was.

About these neural networks, I think it's "just" implementation. Here's the linear layer implementation in Chainer: https://github.com/chainer/chainer/blob/master/chainer/funct...

We have the forward and backward pass organized as class methods here, and the intermediate state from the forward pass is saved into attributes in the instance. So on each call to the network, we make an instance of this LinearFunction class.

In terms of what's being computed, there's really no difference between this and what happens when you call a layer in Thinc. It's just that the state gets captured in the outer scope of the closure. Maybe Thinc's way has a little less overhead, if there are fewer levels of indirection. Thinc uses the Chainer folks' GPU library --- so, unsurprisingly if you define the same network, the benchmarks are very similar.

On the other hand...I do think the implementation matters! Here's a difference for you: if the library approaches it as "we're going to build a computational graph, and execute it", then the library is going to steal the control flow. If the library tells you "here are some functions, and some higher order functions to compose them", you have more access. PyTorch and Chainer doesn't steal the control flow to nearly the extent that Tensorflow does, but they still build up and tear down the state in their objects, and that makes it harder to intrude.

That's assuming a static system. Large increases in output and margin attract competitors which reduces margin. Things will reach a steady state again where the margin matches the opportunity cost. It's very difficult for a company to sustain a margin advantage.

Also, productivity increases lead to price reductions, which lead to the increased output per labor not necessarily meaning the labor value goes up.

As for the motivations of researchers:

If any student comes to me and says he wants to be useful to mankind and go into research to alleviate human suffering, I advise him to go into charity instead. Research wants real egotists who seek their own pleasure and satisfaction, but find it in solving the puzzles of nature.

--Albert Szent-Györgyi

My [indefensible] impression is that altruistic culture is a strong part of the reason why the quality of biomedical researchers is so poor, and cancer research funding is so often near-fraudulent.
Keepass works great, but one disadvantage is that you cannot you additional credentials providers if you want to open your database on other devices. For instance, if I would use a Yubikey provider, I cannot open the database on my iPhone.

It would be great if the authentication providers can be configured in an 'or' instead of an 'AND' (this means convenience vs security). So on Windows, with my Windows account or perhaps Hello it unlocks my Keepass database and perhaps use a Yubikey, but on my iPhone I'm still required to enter a password. But unfortunately, the current implementation combines the authentication providers to create a combined encryption key.

But still, Keepass is easy to setup and maintain. Just put your database on your favorite cloud provider (if you want to take the risk) or manually sync it to your phone and you got the righty credentials everywhere at hand.

If you change "hard" to "harder", would you agree that there is no longer a difference?

No, I wouldn't. Of course variations in contrast or colour can be used up to a point without significantly affecting readability, and dogmatically taking any design guideline too far is usually not helpful. But when you really do get to the point of making things significantly harder to read, I think you've crossed into dangerous territory, with the usual caveats about readability depending on your expected audience.

Let's not muddy the issue with terms like "hard" vs. "harder". Let's look at the actual examples the author gave to illustrate the suggestion.

In the "Amsterdam walking tour" example, the light grey text is #737373 on #f7f7f7. That's already past the WCAG threshold at AAA level for normal (i.e., body size) text. It's used for legally significant material, while describing an activity that could easily be of interest to an older clientele.

In the later "Steve Schoger" example, the job title in the left pane is #929292 on #f7f7f7. That would be past the WCAG threshold even for large text and even at AA level. Maybe the job title isn't intended to be so important in that example, but again, if it doesn't need to be readable, why have it there at all?

The author is definitely making things lower in hierarchy harder to read on purpose, that's the whole point.

I understand that. I claim that doing so is measurably bad for usability in many situations, and that there is ample research to demonstrate this, upon which guidelines such as the WCAG's are based. The W3C pages about the guidelines provide extensive explanations of the reasons behind them, if you're interested.

Honest question, is there any evidence that shows the usability is _worse_?

In the sense of reduced data density, isn't it self-evident that some information is then harder to access?

A dashboard may be a somewhat specialised example, but the same argument applies to anything else with a lot of data to show: tables, lists, even the menu example in the article, where the more spaced out version has lost an entire menu entry off the bottom compared to the original.

A related argument also applies anywhere that space is at a premium, even if there is only a modest amount of data to present. That includes almost all UIs to be used on smartphones, and it includes many types of UI where you have different screen areas for different purposes and so the space within any given area can be quite limited.

In more specific cases, for example removing clear demarcation of search controls in favour of a generic background colour as also demonstrated in the article, there is plenty of research to show that the mystery meat approach to controls and navigation doesn't work well.

If someone is going to advocate for the fewer borders and more spacing approach, and if there are multiple well-established arguments for how doing so can harm usability in at least some cases, then I think the burden initially falls on the advocate to argue/demonstrate that their way doesn't fall into those traps.

The probability is zero.

pdf = slope of the cdf. The value of the pdf at a given point is not a probability, it's the instantaneous rate of change of a probability. You need to integrate the pdf over a range to get a probability.

You could take the area under the pdf (i.e., integrate) for a window around a given x or use the area under the tail of the pdf past x (i.e., p-value).

Your downvotes are unwarranted for an economically proven observation.

Woman entering workforce have had an effect and still have at a decreasing rate.

Esentially they converted the labor market from a supply driven market (workers more in command) to a demand-driven market (those creating work in command)

Any measures to lower the need for workers (automation, efficiency gains) or increasing the workforce (immigration, women working) worsens working conditions.
Ask HN: What can I do to avoid being forgotten by MSFT (hiring process)?
I'm a mid-level software engineer myself, and have had troubles applying to MS which is one of the big tech companies I'm interested in joining. But I've been having some odd experiences with them, and asking people who are familiar with the Redmond WA jobs, or have worked there before, to help shed some light on it. I've drawn interest from MS recruiters to apply to the company, but could never get into the interviewing rounds.

In mid 2016 I was contacted by a Talent Acquisition Specialist from MS. First via LinkedIn, then it went to email. The TAS told me to do three things: RVSP to a company hiring event (in the Redmond WA area) from a link she sent to me, apply to some positions at departments of my choice, and fill out a pre-screening form. I did all three, and when I asked when I could expect a response, but I never got one.

This scenario repeated itself again in 2017, with a different TAS, except there was no pre-screening form. But he was late in replying, to the point where the hiring event already ended before they could move me into the interview process. There is no phone number listed in their emails to call them at, and they just keep failing to reply to my messages via email and LinkedIn. (and yes they still work in Microsoft last time I checked)

So why is this happening, and what can I do to make sure they reply more quickly to me and I won't get forgotten?

Number 3 isn't just in flux, I'd argue it got worse. Companies like Facebook trying to act as definitive platforms while trying to keep their hands clean of being sources or generators means that we have even more fragmented news sources, but significantly more centralized distribution. This means that not only does the quality and veracity of news articles decrease, but the likelihood of someone believing something from a "trusted" platform increases. It's the worst of both worlds.
>is a better choice

Well sure, the philanthropic model, which is in essence allowing the wealthy to control every part of society by determining what exists (i.e. is funded), who gets to live and die (by who they choose to give jobs to), what can be said (since every communications medium is privately owned), is a better choice for the wealthy, never for society or anyone else. It moves as much as possible of society from a public sphere where democracy exists into the corporate world, which is always a dictatorship.

The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is great in that it funds research and development in educational pedagogy and techniques and funds education in general. But its existence is also explicitly anti-democratic. It funds schools that accept its doctrine, and leaves the others to wither and die. The existence of charity will be used to cut public support (why do we need public support when these schools are funded without it?) and then we have the setting where one billionaire effectively sets educational policy without democratic input at all. The Kochs are trying to do this by replacing standard American History textbooks with the history rewritten and changed to better serve as Libertarian propaganda.

Make no mistake, when you accept that philanthropy is a fundamental tenet of society you are literally ceding all decision making power to the ultrawealthy who can afford to take part in it, and cutting out nearly everyone else, ensuring they will be begging for scraps from their masters forever. You ensure that anything people have is framed as a kind gift from a wealthy benefactor (and you wouldn't want to make that benefactor mad and risk losing those gifts you need to survive, would you?), not a right or expectation. Even well-intentioned philanthropy is extremely dangerous.
There's only one Magic Roundabout. It was the result of an open tender and I think that the winning team was from a local college. There were five roads leading into a weird space and it needed fixing. It's not as bad as it looks. Actually, it is as bad as it looks when you first encounter it.

The centre (which doesn't really show up on Goog maps) goes anti-clockwise, bear in mind that we drive on the left and go clockwise around a roundabout usually. You can use the outside to avoid the centre completely, which is often faster. The main problem is that it is very heavily used and hence some of the markings are scrubbed out. Also it is easy to get disorientated but even if you fly out of the wrong exit, it is easy to use a side street later to get back on track.

On the topic of passwords, have a look at my command-line passphrase generation program.

GitHub: https://github.com/ctsrc/pgen

It's written in Rust. Install the Rust toolchain installer from https://rustup.rs/

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

And remember to add ~/.cargo/bin to your PATH.

Then install my command-line utility

cargo install pgen

Usage is described in detail in the README on GitHub. Additionally you can ask the program itself for a brief help summary.

pgen --help

Eventually pgen will be available in some package manager repos so that you can use your preferred package manager to install pgen but until then it must be built from source following the steps above.

Humans = Instinct + Collective Learning

There isn't a human alive who hasn't been taught most of what they know by other humans.

In the West we dedicate the first couple of decades of human life to this, with extensions for gifted individuals who are better at learning than the average.

Expecting an AI to understand the world on its own without formal teaching is equivalent to expecting an AI to recapitulate the entirety of human intellectual development within the span of a single research program.

It may be a realistic expectation at some point in the future, but it's certainly not realistic right now.
