I have a serious medical condition. I found that a particular brand of salt was very beneficial. I became an affiliate and had ads on my health blog for that brand of salt. People accused me of having a conflict of interest and just trying to make money off of sick people.

I am very leery of medical advice where I know doctors are basically there to prescribe drugs and surgeries when I know from experience I can get better results from diet and lifestyle. But talking about that is a huge shitshow. Most people don't want to hear that.

I don't know how to solve this. The money needs to come from somewhere, but the minute money is involved, no one trusts what you say and it seems to not matter the order in which that association happens. Being a believer in the product because it worked for you and trying to make money on something you believe in makes you one of those MLM people in the minds of a lot of people.
They are assuming that prices reflect the costs of the products. Externalities however are completely mispriced, so comparing the monetary value of buying new vs repairing is very misleading.
Interesting, but you need more colours in your life. It's like spice.

The backpack and sunglasses strike me as overly expensive -- why is that? why have so many head-/earphones? no cost for a suitcase?

>I disagree. If you remold a square piece of pastry dough into a circle you haven't "circled the square", you have destroyed the square entirely!

Well, the physical thing is all still there, just in a different shape.

You have destroyed only an abstract quality, it's squareness, not the thing.

So you haven't "destroyed it" entirely anymore than changing the width of an object to something equal or different than it's height its 'destroying" the object. It just sets a value for a field of the same struct in memory.

Whereas your argument was "A rectangle has a width and height, and you can't just will it to have a different width and height and expect it to obey you through some force of nature".

If by the rectangle you mean the abstract quality, then you're right, you can't.

But we're talking about an object in computer memory that's an instance of a square or a rectangle, or about some physical thing that is one or the other shape.

And if you mean those, then yes, you can very much will that object to a different width and height.

Which is the one of the distinctions TFA makes: the abstract quality can't change, but the thing that embodies that quality can change qualities (and, with them, attributes, like width and height).

Quaternions are an extension of the idea of complex numbers. Complex numbers have a real and an imaginary part, while quaternions have a real part and multiple imaginary parts (3). So the basic idea is that these richer types of number, when used to build a network (instead of plain real numbers) have benefits.

So to get started with reading this paper you just need to learn about deep learning, and then also the very basics of quaternions, which would be taught in, for example, a first course on abstract algebra.
If it's possible to fine-tune on 1 minute of audio in 10 minutes (which very likely requires more than 10 passes), it should be possible to run this model with real-time throughput (at least using a decent GPU).

The technology is definitely intended for reading websites to users. I'm actually not sure why Google hasn't integrated it into Chrome yet. Maybe they prefer leaving the task to the OS-level accessibility tools.
Was a bit dissapointed. Thought he was going to do an audio sweep and use ML on a video feed to detect the resonant frequency and break the glass as fast as possible.
Regarding graph databases: does anyone have specific recommendations regarding something suitable to hold 2-digit TB of graph data, and allow many queries regarding how datapoints that come up are connected to some areas of interest, through the big knowledge graph[0]?
I'm looking into doing some prediction work based on it, and have not found any suitable data store so far, which would work well with it, due to the size and budged restraints limiting storage to NVMe modules, instead of DRAM.
Any help finding a suitable datastore would be greatly appreciated.

I kind of like interfaces as they are basically less powerful traits. I think there is a big difference to class inheritance and the difference between e.g. Jave and C# is just syntactic.

When you implement interfaces you have to explicitly implement all methods. If you implement them correctly all methods using them continue to stay correct (including C# extension methods or java interface default methods).

With class inheritance you have two large problems: you also inherit state that you might not need, might not have access too and might change in future versions of your base class.

Secondly you might need to override methods of the base class to provide correctness. If your base class adds/changes methods your subclass can easily behave wrongly.

I think I read somewhere that some secure coprocessors incorporate physical defenses that will destroy keys if you try to shave them down or physically tamper. So yeah. Hard.
> Fukushima prompted a global turn away from nuclear power and correspondingly higher carbon emissions in countries such as Germany and Japan.

That is certainly true, but at the same time it also caused increased investments in regenerative power, which the article doesn't mention at all. So from what I know, the article looks kinda one-eyed to me.

> various intelligence agencies will have infiltrated such a large international group anyway

But will those organizations get in each other’s way and thus cause us to not stop it in advance. Watch or read The Looming Tower for more context. I’m not sure we really learned our lesson for that one.
GDPR is far wider than that; you're just looking at it from the end user perspective because GDPR isn't just allowing the user to enquire about their data.

For a company to be GDPR compliant they also have to satisfy the regulators and that includes limiting access to data to only those that need it, knowing who those people are and putting measures in place in case of a breach.
This is really said, but what choice did they have other than to evacuate?

Several months following the disaster, people of Japan were extremely skeptical of how their government handled the situation. The task of convincing people to stay put would've been insurmountable and would've been viewed as gross negligence.

"In retrospect, the evacuation looks excessive. Less clear is whether those in charge at the time could have acted any other way."
To combat this, I’ve started going through all my old bookmarks and compiling my own repository of knowledge on a self-hosted Bookstack. I highly recommend doing this. I feel like I assimilate a lot more knowledge than before when I would just read something once on HN and then bookmark it for posterity.
Cardinality is a complete red herring here, we don't care about the set theoretic structure, and ultimately we're taking finite approximations anyway. The structures we care about are the metric which tells us which solutions (neural nets in this case) are nearby to each other and the algebra which tells us how to compose solutions.

The algebra of real numbers is simply less structured than the complex numbers. One of the key properties of the complex numbers is that they naturally have both a magnitude and a phase. This lets them capture phenomena that have a notion of superposition and interference.

As you correctly pointed out, you can simulate a complex number with two real numbers. The key is to exploit the particular geometric and algebraic properties of the complexes. One example in neural networks is the phenomenon of synchronization, where the outputs of neurons depending on the presence of a particular stimulus all have the same phase. This can be exploited for applications such as object segmentation.

So the widest possible view of this line of research is that putting more algebraic structure on your parameters can improve the behavior of your learning algorithms. My extremely hot take on how far this can go is a full fledged integration of harmonic analysis and representation theory into the theory of deep learning.
My point is "they don't participate if it's inherently smearing". They are careful about their public selves.

This means that they must believe it has become defendable.
WRT emptying the inbox as completely as you can: Unsubscribing everything you can that you receive e-mail is a big deal. I don't even care if you're a fan of the product or blog, unsubscribe from the mailing lists. Just do it. You won't appreciate it initially, but give it about two weeks. It's like the TiVo effect: you don't realize how nice it is until you have let the process incubate for a period of time.

Combined with how well anti-spam has been working for e-mail I am amazed at how useful e-mail has become again. There was a time when I would have received 30-50 "extra" e-mails a week that I would have to spend micro-calories ignoring until I decided to clean the inbox. If you can keep them out of the inbox to begin with, do it.

The point isn't to wow you with credentials. The point is that your previous insistence that this definition isn't correct or common is absurd.

In other words, an argument from authority.

To say that there has been no change in how the term is used or perceived over the last few year is utterly ridiculous.

You may be in an echo chamber because in politics and academics this rehabilitation is not known about.

Can't disagree with you that there may be a change in how it's been viewed, but to state that the "post rehabilitated neoliberalism" is equally if not more utterly ridiculous. Not to one up you, but please realize that. You're talking a Medium blog post vs how hundreds of millions of people view the term (whether they know what it is or not).
I'm inclined to agree with you, but I'm also in agreement that I'm not sure he could win anyway. Zuck would be the personification of neoliberal imperial agendas so I imagine the establishment, perhaps on both sides, would line up behind him.
My guess is to filter out as many of the pollutants you possibly can. Newer houses are full of them since everything is made in China and off gassing. You also have external air which is full of diesel and gas emissions not to mention pesticides and everything else. The only thing you need to do though is make sure your HVAC can support it. Otherwise you run the risk of burning out the motors. Air pollution and radon are risks for lung cancer.
I doubt any of that matters to Stripe, whose customer base consists of small-to-midsize businesses who need to accept payments over the Internet, oftentimes for marketplace-based business models. By virtue of the problem that they want solved, this group is going to skew towards free markets, free trade, globalization, and all the tenets that r/neoliberalism embraces. They may not themselves want to adopt the label (particularly in front of their own customers, who bring their own baggage associated with it), but they'll be sympathetic to the ideas.

Also, the term is still not known/in use to the general public. The set of people who are politically active via Occupy, Tea Party, Trumpism, #Indivisible, etc. is a small subset of all people, and relatively disjoint from the set of people with successful Internet-based businesses.
If you look at what google does, they already offer you an admin panel where you can see all the information recorded about you, and you can download it, etc.

Have you checked https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph ?
It doesn't because neural networks are already (matrices + nonlinearity) over the ground field and therefore all but the simplest possible neural networks are non-commutative anyway. Non-associativity is much more troublesome because it sabotages the most important property of neural networks for deep learning, that you can compose them by feeding outputs of one as inputs into another.

Take out the associativity and you've taken out the "deep" in "deep learning".

Edit: On further reflection, the non-commutativity of neural networks is also a crucial component of machine learning. Without it, a neural network can't make a decision at one layer that depends on its decisions at a previous level!
I don't understand the disincentive you're describing. Unless you believe that Intel or Microsoft would lie about already knowing about a vulnerability --- which is extremely dumb, given how minimal the expense is, and how much publicity you'd immediately generate by going public --- then what's the risk?
Perhaps rather than using bootstrap on a high stakes project (like client work or apps with paying customers) you could try bootstrap customization on a low risk side project? That way when (not if) your screw it up there is no anxiety of an angry client or customers demanding a fix? There is no anxiety of having to support IE or some client’s esoteric dom-modifying browser plugins.

This way you can learn at your own pace and really get s feel for the codebase and workflows for bootstrap customization.
I'm not and I won't.
> But I think 85% of the issue with my ADHD is the social stigma and people who will never understand nor accept it.

I agree but ADHD is one of the better of psychiatric disorders to have regarding both job prospects and IMO social stigma. You can can join the military and operate a lot of jobs with ADHD medication or a past of ADHD. Bipolar/Schizo/Depression have even a bigger social stigma not to mention they are often automatic disqualifiers.
New York professor sues Cambridge Analytica to find out what it knows about him
I remember paying $450 wholesale price for 8mb of ram. That was 25 years ago, which doesn’t seem that long ago, but in tech that’s centuries ago, so I’m not sure what point you were trying to make.
In the general case, yes, but there are specific cases --- and they are probably more common than you'd be comfortable with --- in which the answer is probably "no". It's legally very dangerous to sell a vulnerability to someone who is going to use it to break the law.

I've found the impossible burger to be the closest to animal free burger, although it's not perfect.

Unfortunately at the moment it's still much more expensive, at one of the burger places I go to the cost to swap in impossible burger brings the total up by almost 50%.

It'll be really interesting to see how adoption looks when it's cheaper.

Exactly. In hindsight, it's clear it wasn't going to turn into a radiation release worse than Chernobyl. But at the time of the evacuation, not enough was known. With so many unknowns, it would be incredibly irresponsible not to evacuate.

I think blaming the evacuation is wrong. You have look deeper, at the reason that an evacuation was necessary in the first place.
That is just totally false. Apple does not rely on security through obscurity. They may not publish the code for the SEP but they do have a whitepaper that lays out the key architectural features.[1]

The only reason your Linux laptop would be more secure than an iPhone is if you were using a high-entropy key to unlock it every time you wanted to use it -- and the iPhone wasn't. That's it. But remembering high entropy keys without storing them in some less secure manner is so inconvenient and failure-prone for most people that it's actually a less secure design than Apple's SEP-assisted approach. And you could opt-in to a high entropy key on an iPhone if you wanted to, so even that is a false comparison.

"Indo-Aryan" is a widely-used technical term for a particular branch of Indo-European (actually, a sub-branch of Indo-Iranian): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryan_languages. We could call it "Indic" if that is your preference.

[Racists usurping "Aryan" for a different meaning is not what I'm talking about here, in any shape or form.

Edit to add: Yes, extending 'Aryan' to cover any larger entity than Indo-Iranian is not justified, but "Aryan" is not limited to Indic speakers:--- the Iranians certainly used a form of "Aryan" as well: thus derives the name of "Iran" itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_(word) ]

If you're building a mailing list for your ebook, won't you just need:

1) Allow people to login and view their personal information: name, email.
2) Allow people to delete the profile.

And don't retain any data other than (1) or (2). If you want to track users to see if they clicked links and what countries they are browsing from then: (A) anonymize it or (B) make it visible in the profile information (1).

If all you record is name and email, you won't need a lot of infrastructure. Your policy might say you transfer email addresses to AWS when sending emails.

This. There have also been tons of experiments, starting with the Atlanta olympics, where external pollution sources get throttled and you can see a very clear and immediate drop in cardiovascular-related deaths.

Also there are plenty of standalone units that don’t integrate with HVAC. E.g. I have the Winnex 5300-2, which is one of the Amazon recommended units. (Some of the others are designed for smokers, chefs, or other specialized purposes.)
This is a very complex question and it depends on what traits you are looking at. A single nucleotide change at a single loci can cause a very significant change in phenotype. On top of this most evolutionary charge is not caused by new mutations sweeping through the population, but changes in the relatively frequency of different alleles (genes) in the population.

Also what makes this a difficult question to answer is we don’t have a good idea what genes contribute to what human traits. We know that individual humans differ, and we know that a large amount of reason for this difference is genetic, what we don’t know is what genes are responsible for this difference.

This is a long way of saying we know that the people living 100,000 years ago were genetically different to modern humans, but we don’t know how different and in which particular ways. Evidence points towards us being calmer in large groups (domestication), better able to digest agricultural foods, and better at abstract thinking.

Right, that's a fair criticism of the business practice, but from an engineering perspective it might not be a terribly unreasonable design. It's a good idea to design a system to fail predictably. Electrical engineers use fuses, mechanical engineers use shear pins, and so on.
