The issue though is that the person whose job this is taking likely is not going to be the same person that is going to help the cancer patient. If that was the case, they would have already been helping the cancer patient and not scanning things at Walmart.
The paper is behind a paywall. It probably went back to the abstract page because the login / buy panel is on the right side of that page.

Maybe see if your local library or university has an institutional subscription you can use to access the paper?
This is funny. I did my master thesis back in 2003 using "genetic" algorithms. Maybe I should try to get funding for an AI startup
That's impressive. How do you manage hundreds of tabs?

I tend to have Azure dashboards open which are quite active and resource intensive so I'm not doing myself any favors however I typically only have 6 of 12 tabs active.

I've never used Chrome as my primary browser so I can't really compare it to Firefox in terms of performance, I just know what Firefox has been like over the years. They've always had a cadence to their releases and I know it'll get better, at the moment however it is a CPU and memory hog compared to past releases.

That being said I am kind of astonished that in it's current state people are saying it's astonishingly better than Chrome. I guess it just speaks to how bad Chrome is presently? I don't think I use Chrome enough to comment but I've not had issues with it. I typically only have Chrome running ~5 tabs with 1 active.
Genetic algorithms essentially run coordinate descent with some tweaks. On the positive side, coordinate descent doesn't need gradients and thus happily optimizes complex models. On the negative side, coordinate descent is roughly N times slower than gradient descent where N is the number of parameters being optimized.
On CircleCI you can SSH into a running instance. This helps to test/debug configuration changes without coommitting/pushing. My preferred CI experience so far. (I'm not affiliated.)

Main downside: Only paid Mac support, no Windows support.

Well, given that trust is relative, this scandal seems to involve a whole lot of people implicitly saying you should trust them more than Facebook.

And that's the thing. I don't trust Facebook but I would trust less any plan to externally regulate Facebook.

The government already forces Facebook and Google to divulge information to them. No one should trust any public Internet forum with their personal information but there's a lot of "impersonal information" that's still safe to share. The best way to deal the recent revelations is to stop giving up any information online, not to Facebook or to anyone. Posting text to Facebook or whoever is secondary. (browse and post anonymously but keep a "vanilla" social media profile for border and other other fun).

This all comes down to Facebook selling a kind of "privacy" that's been inherently rendered meaningless by the Internet age - privacy where "people know" get your data but somehow this information won't leak beyond this porous group.
Probably not, but they don't care about Tesla either. Tesla is pretty far from being a car industry incumbent. Basically, Tesla is doing all the dirty job of validating the market for the incumbents.

Companies like VW actually have the know-how and years of experience to scale any electric car ambitions very rapidly. Tesla is still trying to figure out how to mass produce cars and based on the current velocity of the Model 3 production they still have a bunch of things to learn and figure out.
My understanding is that documented evidence exists that Backpage.com directly intervened and edited “user postings” which were flagged as potentially underage, to make them less obviously illegal. And that their direct knowledge and moderation of the postings makes the Section 230 liability moot.

So why is someone like NPR which certainly should know better raising the specter of Section 230 protecting abetters of child sex trafficking when in fact it does not?

I expect a much more reasoned argument from “unbiased media sources” for a proposal to change a law which is universally regarded as having ushered in the modern internet.

In the case of Backpage.com, if anything it was allowed to exist all the better to be able to track and analyze the data in the open rather than have it move to a modern dark-web platform which would be much more difficult to track.

Since all technology can be used for good or evil in equal proportion, it’s clear the best technology can also be used for the worst evil. The most private, distributed, and secure social network would be at once a boon for law abiding and law breaking citizens alike. You can’t make the tool work for one and not the other, without compromise. The legal standard for years has been if you can demonstrate sufficient legal use of a tool and that you haven’t intentionally solicited illegal uses then it passes muster. I am greatly concerned by any legislation which shifts the balance because great tech will always be used by bad actors.

I.e. Since the Bitcoin blockchain can be used to pass messages between parties anonymously then anyone running a node on the network could be supporting anonymous message passing for any purpose, obviously including underage prostitution. That doesn’t mean you shut down Bitcoin.

The government would love to make it illegal for any technology to exist which doesn’t provide them the means to inspect it and control it. But providing those same means would deeply compromise any attempt to implement a truly private and secure distributed network. I worry that the 1st amendment could be compromised to allow for such a law.
From what I’ve read, POWER was affected by spectre/ meltdown too. However, Intels initial response to play down it’s significance can’t have gone well with large enterprise customers. In addition to the performance boosts the article refers to, I wonder how much of an impact the recent kerfuffle over Intels response had on POWER demand.
> The real solution is not to play on a team with randoms

That's not a solution, that's a workaround. It's like saying "The solution to a community being toxic is to leave it". It's only a solution if only the toxic members follow that advice.
I personally know and have worked with a few people who manage hedge funds (with a combined hundreds of millions in AUM). So fun fact: one of the tight-lipped secrets about the hedge fund industry (which could arguably also be said for a lot of the financial industry) - is that none of them actually know what they're doing.

Characters like Ackman, Shkreli, etc all sell the idea that they know what they're doing, when the reality is it's simply gambling with other people's money with minimal risk. Luck will favor some, and others...not so much. The entire industry is essentially a collective delusion/sham.
They're actually opening up the CLR and making changes to it now, so it's not all compiler tricks!
I don't think there's any "collusion" or other conspiracy to hold back electric vehicles, I think what BMW said is objectively true. Lithium batteries have cost too much in the past decade to put them into more than luxury cars or negative-profit compliance cars. Supply chains don't appear overnight. LG Chem, Samsung SDI, AESC/NEC, BYD, Foxconn, etc have been building factories and securing raw materials for many many years to have the capacity to sell car manufacturers enough batteries for a few million cars a year by the end of the decade. The price per kWh still makes the battery in a car like the Chevy Bolt a $8000 part, which means you're never going to make a $15K car with one inside. That price has been dropping year over year, and around 2020 is when it'll be cheap enough to make cars in the price range people actually buy them that have big batteries inside.
> It does not make sense to apply it to someone's private property, especially when people are free to continue their speech somewhere else.

The Supreme Court has held that effective bans on rights are also unconstitutional. And I think that's a fair standard to apply in a broader ethical context.

You can say "go somewhere else to share your views", but if the only real places you can speak are in places you own, that's not much of a consolation. "Free speech" implies conversations where everyone can hear. It's not "free speech" to write yourself notes on your own napkin or to scream into your own pillow.

I think its entirely possible to have a public discussion in a privately maintained and owned forum. And the principle of free speech would have us, as much as possible, set up free discussions where the all ideas can be heard so the best ideas can be adopted.
And what we're arguing is not that right now they are being penalized less and should be penalized the same.
How often being unable to change your code is the cause of bad product-market fit?

If you were only arguing that the people around here probably needs to be more open to technical debt because we here are mostly perfectionists I would probably agree. But I don't think I can agree with most of what is your post.

For Firefox to gain market share, it needs to target the average Joe, which I think they are trying. But in order to do that, it's not enough to make it work better than Chrome when you have 40 tabs open (less memory and CPU usage), they should also try to have the clean interface that Chrome has, or even cleaner, right after the installation.

Take the toolbar, for example: After installation it has all that unused space on the left and right sides of the address bar. This is probably to encourage customizations to it, but Joe doesn't care about that.

And then there are so many things on the toolbar that shouldn't be there. I think they should be hidden behind the sandwich menu, as the power users will know to add to the toolbar the ones that they need, and Joe wouldn't be overwhelmed by them.

Only these things should be present on the toolbar: back button, forward button, reload button (maybe), a home button - only if a home page was set, a clean omnibar, and the sandwich button.

Instead, even after trying to remove as much as I can from the toolbar, I still have: a non clean omnibar (two icons on its left end that seem to come from different universes, and too many things on it's right end - there should only be a dropdown button for the history at this end) and a more tools button. I counted and in total on the omnibar and the toolbar I have 4 buttons for "more stuff", instead of two (one dropdown for the history and the sandwich menu).

But I do think they are on the right track. I personally switched to Firefox from Chrome less than a year ago, and I'm not going back. Thank you, Mozilla, for all the good work that you did on Firefox!
I was happy to see Boud create this guide for non-dev contributions recently: https://phabricator.kde.org/T7842

"There are over 1000 bugs and 350 wishes reported against Krita per year, and that number is rising. The Krita developers cannot handle that stream on their own! Please consider helping out by triaging bugs. This document gives some simple guidelines to get started, and some common cases that can often be answered with a standard text."
Yes, absolutely. The total sideways velocity required is fixed, going on a steeper trajectory requires more fuel for the same target orbit.

The reason Falcon 9 still does that sometimes is that a more vertical trajectory makes the return flight back to the launchpad easier. So if the payload is light enough that there is enough free delta-v, they want to do that. If there isn't, they land on the barge or fly expendable.
The theories I've heard for why you don't get stuck in local optima when using deep learning include:

1. It's hard to get stuck in multidimensional space
2. There are more saddles than convex local optima
3. There are many local optima, but they are all useful
4. Something related to spin glass theory (which I don't understand)
5. There is no theory, or we haven't found it yet; all we
know is that it works in practice and the theory will have to catch up later
Could be that electric cars just require less maintenance.
There are also gnu social, hubzilla, friendica, movim, pleroma, postactiv, etc. And, oh by the way, before you think these different alternatives don't interact...well, they do actually can and do interact with each other...some of the interactions are not 100%. As an example, gnu social, pleroma, postactiv all interact seamlessly 100% with one another...and they all interact a bunch with mastodon, though a little less than 100%. But still there is interactivity, just like emails that can easily cross different systems. And, you can join a server for any of the above for free! The only exception would be if YOU choose to manage your own server - which entails server monthly fees, and your administration time...Otherwise, if you only wish to be a user on someone else's server, that's free. So, you see, you really don't need facebook (or twitter or instagram or snapchat, etc.).
I'm just posting this because I have no idea why no one talks about it.
Are there machine learning ways of achieving the same result? I have seen many articles about enhancing images using machine learning. Any pointers would be great.
> It appears that there's a gap between objects and qualia because only I can see my qualia, while everybody can see a brain or measure electric impulses.

That could be true. Or it could be true that you don't really exist and the subjective experience is an illusion. The subjective self seems to be just another iteration of the unique soul. The soul is what makes you you and the soul is why you experience things.

> Anyway, I like your hypothesis that it could be answered by science.

It's the only way we can settle things one way or the other. We can argue about gods on mount olympus til the cows come home. The only real way to be sure is to actually climb the mountain and see for ourselves.

My inclination at the moment is the mind is fiction. We no more have a "mind"( aka brain's soul ) than plants which move to capture more sunlight have a "mind".

We just have to patiently wait for science to advance to answer the mind/brain questions. In the meantime, it is fun to philosophize about it.

From a bit of googling just now, it seems that LEDs are effectively “two-way” devices: they emit light, but they can also sense light—just like the way that any loudspeaker is also fundamentally a microphone.

Which leads me to wonder: would a microLED array make a better camera input than current CCDs?

I know this would never happen, but if google really wanted to fight this they could shut down gmail for everyone indefinitely while they scanned all the email for evidence of human trafficking. Maybe someone can think of a solution along these lines that would similarly grab public attention but be more realistically something google bosses might sign off on.

> Two, what the heck does "knowingly facilitate" mean? Is it enough to know that, in the abstract, your service is used to facilitate sex trafficking?

That's exactly what it means: the explicit intent of the change (as many of the people pushing it have stated) is to compel online providers to police content. (And there has been noise made that if they don't adequately step up active policing in other areas, this approach will be extended to other kinds of content.)

It is very clearly a move for safe harbor for user-submitted, not-actively-moderated content to a safe harbor only for user-submitted content where the host is actually completely ignorant.
That's a fair point. A very undemocratic one, but it is a cogent reason to not value free speech. Though if that were true, we'd be looking for ways to limit keep especially dumb or naive people from participating in elections. I don't get the sense that anyone, including YouTube and Reddit, is seriously proposing that.
"Your proposal would have the effect of making it impossible to settle such claims in exchange for severance payments on termination of employment."

That's the point. That shouldn't be possible. I should not have to waive my rights to collect severance. That should just be given by default.

Well couldn't it have been the opposite? Hypothesis: maybe this kind of research has the least marginal return, therefore only the most profitable funds are willing (or able) to invest in it (Bridgewater would invest $10M for 0.1% of improvement while a small fund can't afford that luxury given that 0.1% is fund size independent).
Not always. I'd wager it's more often elite signaling.

Sometimes, though, is is just comfort. As an example, the donuts from New Orleans are easy to make at home. Ish. I have yet to have them elsewhere be the same. I'll probably call the ones I do authentic, but I confess it is just to my tastes.

The only thing EAs have going for them is a biological metaphor, the magic of Darwinian evolution, fountain of endless novelty. But, modern science shows evolution does not really work in a Darwinian manner, so thus the metaphor ends.
Hard to say. Yes, Alpha Centauri is indeed 4.37 LY away, though that kind of precision is irrelevant when talking about orders of magnitude (OOM). Two numbers are considered to be the same OOM if the absolute difference of their base-10 logarithms is less than 1.
I'm not leaving out "knowingly." Google "knows" that its services are used to do all sorts of unsavory things. You have to assume that Gmail and Gchat have been used to arrange murders.

Your examples cross the line from "knowing" to "intent." They show not only knowledge that products are used for illegal activities, but intention to encourage and profit from that illegal activity. Releasing "Gmail for Pimps" would suggest specific intent to profit from prostitution, rather than just "knowing" that Gmail is being used for prostitution.

"Knowing" and "intent" are terms of art in criminal law, and "knowing" is well understood as being a lower standard than "intent." The law uses "knowing" on purpose.

That nerve seems like an example of a local optimum. The way to avoid this is either to increase the mutation rate, or modify the fitness function so the intermediate states aren't so heavily penalised.

We can't easily do that with real evolution but it's configurable with evolutionary algorithms, as with most machine learning algorithms. The hard part is finding those parameters.
Hi Eslaught -
So the new CI/CD for GitHub feature should be solving the pain points of the old manual mirroring process. When you set up a project and Oauth to GitHub it should automatically implement 3 components:
- Bidirectional Mirroring https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3745
- push webhook to GitLab to trigger CI/CD immediately once a code is committed (e.g. "push mirroring") https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/4691
- GitHub project service integration (to webhook CI status back to GitHub.) https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3836

Is this not working for you? (may be a bug)

Did you set up the toy instance by creating a CI/CD project and use the GitHub Oauth?
It's also not helping that oil is relatively cheap at the moment.

~Literally the exact same headline in 2015 with POWER8, no results then, (probably no results this time).
