Of course there is some work in that direction- but it is not the majority of the field, not by a long shot. The advances you list are interesting and they are possibly the building blocks of a larger theory, but they remain few and far between- occasional, disconnected contributions on the side of the main work in deep learning. Without a concentrated effort to build on them, rather than chase records, we will not see a "calculus of deep learning" any time soon.

I'm going to guess "very bad" given that even experts can't do this very well. I don't think there is enough information.

Edit: It does say in the paper actually. The "classification rate" (I assume % of words correctly identified - they only recognise single works from a dictionary of 500) is 82 for visual only and 98 for audio, and audio-visual (without noise).

Without noise the audio is good enough to be near perfect (I assume 100 is perfect) so the video doesn't really help. It helps when there is noise (which matches real life experience - people lip read in noisy bars).
Not directed at you specifically, but what is it with people these days feeling the need for a "disclosure" when just stating plain hard facts? Disclosures are only necessary when you state an opinion about something that you are involved with.

Thanks for the excellent answer. Something else this reminds me of is Node Red, which is a project I would have thought HN would have eaten up. I'm not sure I've ever seen a post on here about it. Maybe for the same reason that Arduino isn't very interesting to classically trained embedded developers, graphical, beginner-based programming that aims to take the difficulty out of what you do on a daily basis, will be met with a heavy dose of cynicism and skepticism from the HN crowd, regardless of the merit of that negativity. Once again, though, I think its a really impressive piece of software at first glance. Best of luck!
A better use for grey water is to store in a reservoir for flushing your toilets. You obviously need separate plumbing for collecting the grey water and for the toilets.

There are also recirculation pipes for lung runs of hot water piping, like hot water columns found in hotels. The return circuit doesn't need to be thick, two sizes downwards will do (for instance a DN15 pipe for a DN25 column). Both the column and the return need to be properly insulated. DHW circulation pumps are usually made of brass and come equipped with a no return valve. This layout does exactly what you describe but instead of going into the cold water pipe, it goes back into the boiler.
Thanks, so its basically stolen at the generation level and thus you can't bill them 100GWh because that energy has never even appeared on the grid and technically nobody has consumed it.
Yes, it would require some math, but I suspect you'd get superior results. For example, you can replace the "modeling" by the FFT transform applied to small time-slices (i.e., this determines which hair-cells get triggered at a given time). Now you have to stitch these slices together without introducing spurious frequencies, which is the difficult part.
Nothing specific. I'm also not an academic, so anything I say will be a little contrived but... ideas generally... I think the first step is look outside the basic, low-level structure and look a level or two above it. I think the best ideas will likely touch on a few of the related problems and happen outside of individual departments. Either the publication or the funding structures seem like good places to start.

Publishing... This is obviously a centrepiece institution. It's central to replication/quality issues, to publish-or-perish career incentives and to funding allocation. So, I guess any radical ideas here will likely impact on a lot.

Can we modernize publication, make it more open, and update the peer review system? One step is to move away from seeing "peer reviewed" as a binary. Another might be increasing the role of peer review. Maybe papers should have critical "reviewer notes."

Maybe publications could take more of a 'director' role, influencing follow up, replications, being critical of practices...

..If a paper concludes that "more research is needed," does this mean anything? Will the research be done? What exactly needs to be done (eg, same study @ 5X the sample size). Is this likely to yield a result? Is that result important?

A big part of the replication problem (from my perspective, safely on my couch) seems to be that very little replication is done, because the incentives are all wrong.

If institutions were different (eg capitalism, for example) I could imagine the problem being reversed: replication and further work could be overinvested in, impoverishing exploratory science instead of the other way around. Replication is a lot more concrete (and money men love concrete).. you know what you need to do specifically, and what you might achieve by doing it. The problem in academia is that original work, even unreplicated an inconclusive is valued higher than subsequent work. We have to incentivize replication. In social sciences, we're sitting on a mountain of inconclusive results. Unless this work is done, we can't build on.

Funding... Measuring researcher output well enough to base funding on is not possible, imo. But, maybe we'd have better luck with portfolios. Ie, structure funding bodies as competing portfolio managers, looking to impress based on portfolio performance. This might give us a better mix of predictable returns (eg replicate these 175 studies) and long tail risky stuff.
I’ve wondered that, too. Their denial is suspiciously specific.
In a personal experience that made me wonder if FB was listening through my phone, the item was a friend suggestion.
I imagine, if you can comprehend at a very fast speed, it gets easier to keep the line in your head. As you can store and revall the characters from the very short term memory. I don't know if this phenomenon exists, but if I,'ve heard the entire line in for example 0.5 seconds, I think I'll be able to construct a mental image of it and code.

Another point is that I imagine it takes your complete focus to listen and comprehend single characters at such speeds, so you will be super-focused on the task when you're writing code.

We, as the programmers with sight, can read code without getting anything out of it, if we're not focused.
Eight of the Worst Spreadsheet Blunders
In my experience, all the PayPal horror stories I have seen have been from merchants rather than users. PayPal tends to do a good job of protecting users, often to the detriment of merchants’ trust.

Also, PayPal services a niche of users who have bank accounts and/or PayPal credit, but no access to a widely accepted debit or credit card (such as Visa or MasterCard). Those users are often unable to use most other payment providers.
Last two insights alone make this a worthwhile read:

> 8. Customers are bad at telling you how much they would pay

> 9. People will pay for things you wouldn’t pay for: When we started charging $10/month for our video meme maker (the first Kapwing tool), some people on Product Hunt and Hacker News told us we were crazy.
Not yet, one day I want to add links to these new type of assemblers.
I guess I can see reasons why some companies may want to be able to produce time-limited drivers:

Maybe they want beta versions to stop working, forcing users to upgrade.

For offline computers, it might be that some companies would see this as a way to enforce contract periods (customers would have to install an update to continue using the product when their contract is renewed).

Of course, disabling driver signature verification is still a way to bypass that, but often times the companies that do things like this probably aren't thinking about that.

Mozilla Empowers Journalists with the Power of A-Frame – The Mozilla Blog
I never said it means it isn't true, I said ignore them. That means I don't use them to inform myself at all.

So you've misunderstood what I'm saying quite badly.

I base my views on those things that can be verified, not on all the stuff that cannot be. That said, I do not suffer from Gell-Mann amnesia. I'm under no delusion that most reporters are doing anything more high-minded than trying to be the first to summarize the next big story. Nor do I normally suppose that they are experts on most subjects, particularly those like law, technology or medicine, though they have hopefully summarized an actual expert to the best of their understanding. And yes, the precious few who actually are experts of some kind (e.g. Volokh) are given due credit in the realm of their expertise and generally the sort I favor reading.

I therefore tend to seek out actual, primary sources (the relevant scientific paper, actual legal scholars, the text of the actual law, etc.) and use those, rather than some reporter's rushed summary thereof, to inform myself on any matters of actual importance. So the reporters I find more credible are the ones who actually bother to link to these primary sources when they're available online.

That usually means reading more from people like, say, Volokh, Popehat or the SCOTUSblog and less of CNN. Yes, I know Chris Cuomo is an attorney, but he gets special demerits for getting the law wrong (and having gotten called on it by many lawyers with more experience).

> I know it might not be a realistic application model for what the Web has evolved into today, but misuse of the term REST has frustrated [basically everyone]

Amen, sister.

JSON RPC over HTTP is... you know... the 99% use case. HATEOAS has its place, but IMO and IME that place isn't most of what industry is doing. For whatever reason, though, there is a buzz about actual-REST and HATEOAS that seems both ignorant of the original intent of REST/HATEOAS and of practical development considerations. REST-fullness has been an undefined architectural ideal for over a decade now and shows no signs of convergence of clarity...

I would really like a new buzzword for JSON RPC so that I know what the heck people are talking about when they talk about REST. I am tired of guessing, and tired of listening to consultants was poetic about HATEOAS who have clearly never read the white paper... :)
The multiplicity of ways to do everything in OpenGL was always a stumbling block for me in the past; it's been a big driver towards leaning in the direction of DirectX, or Monogame or Unity for cross-platform, in the past.

I think Japan, Germany and South Korea prefers to "lease" US military as they're doing now rather than having their own military as the sole defence for the country. Germany in particular has shown signs of enjoyment in such an arrangement, leaving them to focus on other issues like building their economy and commanding EU. There is a reason why Trump is demanding more commitment from other NATO countries. An analogy to computer game would be, US is defending the NATO countries (+japan og SK) while the others are focusing on 'booming'.

If one day germany, japan or south korea were to decide to have referendum to remove US troops and get majority vote, I am sure US would remove their troops. So in short: no, US is not holding a gun to them because the other countries are certainly enjoying US nuclear and military umbrella protecting their territory.
The market for tools that bridge design and development is large in theory, but quite difficult to reach in practice. Designers are busy and overworked already — they don't have the time nor interest to learn new tools that would require major workflow changes. Developers are accustomed to all dev tools being free, and they're deeply suspicious of anything that would tilt their creative freedom over to the design side.

I tried — and failed — to make a living in this market with two products, Neonto Studio [1] and React Studio [2]. Reaching one thousand subscribers was a distant dream. Nowadays we just give away the base product, and the real business is focused purely on customizing the software for enterprise in-house development where the pain is much greater than with what one might call "competent teams" (i.e. practically anyone reading HN).

The first time it happened to me, I considered it a coincidence. And the next few times too. It must because the game is new, or they know I've been searching for new floors on my computer, ect. But it keeps happening, and it's always in the time following after it was talked about, but not searched for. It has happened for things we talked about at friends place, that is completely outside what my wife and I would do.

The most blatant I've experienced was on the Wii U. The controller with the screen powers up and shows ads for new games every now and then. We actually had a bit of fun with it, casually talking about new games and guess what happened. An ad for that particular game was shown. I'm 100% certain now, that it happens with smartphones as well.

This argument and others similar to it are often repeated but I've yet to see any of those people describe what makes it awkward.

It'd be pretty easy to make a makefile that depends on say a specific row on a SQL database using dummy files. Also changing the language for recipes is trivial and painfully obvious. If you can't do something as simple as `SHELL := /your/own/interpreter' then why do you think you are qualified to make a build system?

The time frame in question doesn't seem that big. There were probably not that much large breakers and the they both chose the peak of one with the best conditions. So maybe a 1:100 to 1:10.000 chance. I'm more amazed, that they went down the whole photoshop route before comparing angles. If someone had that kind of skill in retouching, he wouldn't need to copy photos to make a living.

The closer you are to something, the more quickly it appears to "move" when you shift your viewing position. The waves are much closer than the lighthouse so as you move left or right, their perceived position moves more quickly than the lighthouse. I guess the technical term is parallax?
While I have been once on the receiving end of PayPal's wrath, I can see why people prefer it, especially with it's strong buyer protection program.

The very first site which I encountered with Stripe, about 3-4 years ago, dint get my money. It just looked odd design for a gateway, I was expecting a "seal" etc on the page with a proclamation about 128-bit encryption and what not. I emailed the website owner to include a "traditional" gateway or PayPal.

Since then I have paid with Stripe on some sites but I can also see why people feel uncomfortable with it.

BFG repo-cleaner: a faster `git filter-branch`, written in Scala
Not all operators or functions are anti-commutative; addition for example is commutative, not anti-commutative. Exponentiation is not commutative (2^3 != 3^2) and it is not anti-commutative because it has no identity (there are exponentiation equivalencies (sometimes labelled identities) but there is no symmetric identity like 0 for addition and subtraction or 1 for multiplication or division).

An operator or function is called anti-commutative when it fits the necessary conditions, not the converse. You can't just label something as anti-commutative and then point out that is doesn't fit the conditions; that's putting the cart in front of the donkey.

Re training will fail. This is the major fatal flaw of the current economic system.

Supporting data: The writing has been on the wall in glowing neon ever since the advent of MOOCs.

MOOCS have many near magical attributes that we have long sought in education

1) The students regularly self select into the courses they want, as opposed to schools where you don't have a choice.

2) Courses are free

3) Courses are high quality, and improving with testing

4) Courses are media rich, and use multiple types of stimulation for stronger impact when studying

5) Honorary mention - gamification

6) Material is always available, at any time - you are not limited to teachers being available

7) You even have online communities you can reach out to, to discuss your work

And yet they have about a 10% completion rate.

Let me underline - thats a 10% rate with a self selected pool of interested applicants.

MOOCs are literally magic.

IF you are talking about re-training then you are missing the Big Picture: The re-training and skill up revolution has come and gone.

We should currently be seeing a large rise in the number of people who are self actualizing, and learning skills in a wider range of industries.

-----------

In economic terms, the failure rate of MOOCs indicate that retraining attempts will result in very poor retrenchment of workers.

Most jobs lost will result in under-employment, increasing the concentration of capital in the hands of capital holders.

This will have a knock on effect on the America old style university system, as this will become the only path to a higher paying career over poor paying service sector work.

----------

The retraining model which will work will require people to be allowed to train non stop on material, and the ability to focus and work on a subject till they have gained the necessary mastery.

I doubt this will be possible, because a family earner cannot take weeks off to master a skill only to have to hunt for jobs in a market where younger students already abound.

Consider how many people want to get healthier, apply to gyms - and then stop going.

Re-phrase the retraining problem as an attempt to get all of humanity (or a slice of it) fit.

Also since the tools of technology allow for hitherto impossible levels of orchestration and conversation management, the barrier to outrage driven organization and outrage has been set much higher, which will lead to less negotiation power during the eventual distribution of wealth

For the record : those two parts (their CA / own services, and their teams responsible for security) are really well separated and it is not the first time a Google thingy is deemed unsafe by Google security.

Whatever one thinks of Google, it's hard to not agree that they take security very seriously, both internal and external (and project zero is one of the best thing ever).

Personally, I prefer it that way. Better to see "ahah, Google tells me Google is insecure" than allowing something flagged as bad just because it come from the same mothership.
