I think it is falsifiable. More precisely, the claim is that the most significant features for psychoanalytic purposes will be contained in the model after training even with low nuclear norm.
It’s possible for the most salient features for this purpose to not be in the model.
It was unclear the way I first said it.
> Be careful of confirmation bias, it is easy to just say they are wrong but it is important to them that the experiment is run.

Sure. And its important to me that the USA remains strong and the best in the world. Unfortunately, their perspectives are weakening the USA and therefore, I'll work against them politically.

Various US citizens are entitled to their opinion. And I'm entitled to my opinion of those people.
OK. Now let's say that we're going to move that 2% up to 4%. That takes doubling the amount of gold extracted, worldwide. That's not going to be easy.

> We shouldn't be looking at a state-sponsored genocide and then claiming that "if only Facebook had more control over public discourse then we'd be able to solve this problem".

The genocide in Myanmar has both state-sponsored and spontaneous characteristics. Facebook can and should help with the latter, if it's going to allow folks to pass around pro-genocide messaging using the site.

In the end, I advocate for everyone to abandon all large-scale, centralized, corporate social media, but given how unrealistic this goal is at present, my next hope is for the large social media companies to assume more responsibility for their actions. The same standards that we've traditionally held all media companies to.

>There is no person (a) who doesn't meet the accredited investor requirement and (b) for whom an illiquid, volatile security like start-up equity is a prudent risk-reward decision.

I used to think this too until I saw a bunch of teenagers invest their allowance and part-time job money into a new industry that was open to them and get rich.

It made me wonder if perhaps the definition of accredited investor should be expanded to people who have not only a lot of capital but also lot of time till retirement, since there's an equivalency, and who can afford to take risks and make mistakes in their 20s b/c they still have time to make up for it later.
Couldn't agree with you more. Ubuntu was my daily driver from the start of 2007 through early 2014 when I finally gave in and bought a rMBP. Despite missing the "real" nix environment being available right under the GUI, I have been much much happier on the Mac.

I fought software update and driver issues for years. I ran the most bog standard HP laptops that I could get, albeit w/ Nvidia GPUs. Every distribution upgrade there was something that went wrong. One of a list of usual suspects: video driver, power management, and wifi. Things were never completely broken. It would be something like not being able to close the lid, sleep, and properly recover. Or not being able to connect to wifi when coming back from sleep. Or not being able to stay connected to wifi after a couple hours and needing the kernel modules to be removed and reinserted.

I kept a set of hard drives so that I could always move to the next version of the OS on a clean install. I could fall back easily if the next release presented problems. I would tinker and fix the sort of issues you get with these random outlier driver problems and press forward. I had a good regimen going, but ultimately it was the power management issues that wore me down. Randomly finding the battery dead because the laptop didn't sleep when I closed the lid or not being able to properly return from sleep was just too much.

I've been running Linux for 20 years and I'm not willing to put up with these problems on my workstation. It seems like it must be a very small minority that can.

If you're going to have an actual destkop machine maybe you can avoid most of these problems. And maybe these things have been solved finally for laptops, but I wouldn't know, I moved on and haven't looked back.

This is a repost from 2011, but I think it is still an interesting workflow (at least the +Linode portion, no matter the client system), and timely, given how cloudy things have gotten since then. Good opportunity to see how others are doing cloud workflows now, that they use to do locally, etc. Some modern HN commentary/discussion I think would be good re: this topic/cloud workflows etc...
In a completely free competitive system, cheating becomes necessary to survive. This applies to almost any industry. In a weird way, you can't blame companies for cheating so much as the government for being too poorly structured/equipped to regulate effectively.

Cheating can take the form of: pollution, privacy violations, abuses of human behavior, exploitation of natural resources, corruption, etc. You'd be hard-pressed to think of a single F500 company that isn't benefiting from some form of cheating that is inadequately regulated at present.
It could also be argued that the success of crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter are similar evidence that people want to make micro-investments in early stage ventures that appeal to them.
With multiple computers on the same network, it's fun (if not productive) to come up with names within a theme (e.g. characters from a novel, place names from some country etc.)
> When bad people use roads and electricity, you do not cut it off for the rest of society, or blame the roads for bad things

No – instead, the government passes regulation to minimize the number of people that die on the roads. Your car needs to meet safety standards to drive on the road, it needs to be registered with the government, and you need to be licensed to drive it.

Things that become interwoven in the fabric of society don't automatically just get a free pass. I would say the opposite happens, actually.
who didn't see this coming?
Exactly. In the past, calorie intake was probably the most important aspect of food nutrition. We live in good times.
The bleeding-edge saga
In the RC hobbyist community it's fairly widely recognized that manufacturers inflate their C ratings. That said, these things can definitely put out a scary amount of power, and discharging batteries in 3-4 minutes of flight isn't unusual for some high performance RC aircraft.
When I saw the headline, I expected this article would be about Jokichi Takamine, a biotechnology pioneer from Japan who paid for the 2000 sakura trees donated to DC by the governor of Tokyo. I wasn't aware of the Fairchild/Marlatt stories, so it's interesting to see how the multiple historical threads converge.

I don't understand what you are asking. Clearly quantum phenomena are observable at the macro scale. Every quantum mechanics experiment is an example of this, e.g. the double slit experiment.
Crypto Mining Adventures Worth Checking Out
My personal rule of thumb: if it wasn't available for pre-agricultural human, it doesn't have to be part of your diet (doesn't mean you can't eat it at all, but you surely shouldn't make it the foundation of your diet).

Dead animal and the fire are definitely part of Homo, especially Homo Sapiens.

You can call that a Paleo diet if you will, I don't, as the term as been tainted by quackery (see also: Superfood).
Destroy All Software: Free for a Week
Recompiling software isn’t as scarey as some people seem to think as long as you have a decent toolchain. And, in my experience toolchains have improved a lot in the last few decades. Automated build processes are de rigueur these days.

Actual hardware to test on is essential for debugging, but it’s not like ARM based Unix/Linux isn’t already a thing.

Assuming Apple doesn’t lock down the OS, I’d say that open source ports like Homebrew will be available almost immediately. It’s the closed source vendors with outdated development processes that might drag their heels.
This is my absolute favorite screencast series ever. Just saw that he's having a free week and wanted to put it out there.

If you haven't watched any of Gary's videos, check them out. They seriously rock.
And the silly thing is that the rule was based on Latin, where to infinitive is marked by a (non-separable) suffix, as opposed to English where it's marked by a preposed preposition "to" (though that may be redundantly put).
It matters to Apple, CPUs are a very big expense for them, and the performance of their computers are very important to them.

I'm specifically worried about the performance workstation/gaming cpu market, which Broadcom Marvell, Cavium, and IBM are not major players in. It's currently AMD and Intel. Apple would need to sell a lot of macs with the new CPUs to make the R&D cost worth it and the new CPUs would have to be very fast or they won't sell macs.

when you want to make complex sql,toyorm maybe word better

find the name = "tom" user and it subquery blog title = "first blog" e.g

brick := toy.Model(&User{}).Where("=",Offsetof(User{}.Name),"tom").
Preload(Offsetof(User{}.Blog)).Where("=", Offsetof(Blog{}.Title), "first blog").Enter()

brick.Find(&user)
// raw sql
// select id,name,data, from user where name = "tom" limit 1
// select id,title,content,user_id from blog where user_id = @user.id and title = "first blog"

toyorm select field with Offsetof, it better when you want to refactor struct field name
and you can operation main query as sub query

When gold prices are high enough, exploration and extraction become more profitable, much like any natural resource.

However, new technology can lower the ceiling on how expensive gold needs to be to make those feasible.
I love some of the work Alan Kay and others are doing at http://vpri.org/. His work on STEPS is trying to produce a whole working environment in 20 KLOC through heavy use of DSLs.

I hate programming silos. I think the world would be a much better place with good platforms, where libraries can interop easily and everything feels so integrated. Emacs is a watered-down reminiscence of this approach.
I wonder if this means that virtualization will be impossible without some sort of emulation layer. If so, that seriously blows.
This looks like they took this idea scarily seriously.
> What about the Krebs Cycle?

So if you look at the [Big Picture of the metabolic pathways in humans](http://biochemical-pathways.com/#/map/1)... what do you have?

Fuzzily defined, extraordinarily complex tangle with feed back loops all over the place, some going through that amazing tangle of the brain.

If you were to translate this into a mathematical model and look at it from a purely mathematical perspective (even if you omit the parts involving the brain).

It's a highly non-linear system of Partial Differential Equation's with many variables and a bunch of fuzzily measured constants.

And then you compare it with a really really simple setup like, say, [3 bodies acting under gravity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem). You know, something almost as simple as it gets.

Way way way simpler than the metabolic pathways in humanity.

And we know from a purely mathematical point of view.... that except for a very very tiny set of special cases, we haven't clue what will happen with the 3 body problem.

So yes, the article is spot on.

In terms of individual chemical reactions, we have some ideas.

In terms of dietary advice to individuals or populations... We floundering and should admit it.
> The people who built the radio didn't get called before an international criminal tribunal; it was the broadcasters who did.

FB is both though. They built the system & tech (the ‘radio’), and via their algos/policies also control what gets spread and to what extent (the ‘broadcasting’).

It’s not at all clear cut.
> In the world of fair machine learning, "What are the right criteria for fairness under [set of circumstances]?" is usually not easily answerable

There is nothing particularly machine learning specific about this. If I want to design an AI to detect bank fraud, you're right that I want to do cross-disciplinary research in its design, but I do not understand what AI ethicists would add to that.

My disagreement is not that AI will involve itself in other fields, and in the process we need to learn about those fields. It's with the idea that either those people should be talking about the raw technology or that there should be a general field about how AI specifically relates to the sum of every other field.

> The commonality here is you care about understanding or predicting the empirical behavior of machine learning systems interacting with the real world, especially with humans.

Which is just the technical domain of AI research. Narrowing it down to the commonalities has removed all of the interesting points we were going to study!

I agree that when AI is added to the social systems or the stock market, we need to involve people versed in social systems or the stock market. I still do not see why they cannot collaborate in exactly the same way that they have already. The only difference visible to me is that that the hammers are bigger.

I would like to relate a similar story I've heard.

Gary Vaynerchuk grew his father's brick and mortar liquor store from 4MM in sales to 60MM in sales on the back of digital advertising and ecommerce.
He didn't get any equity in his father's company either. His salary also wasn't lavish.
When Gary was in his 30s, he left his father's business and launched his own company.

You could take what you have learned from building your father's business and launch a company on your own, where you control the equity and call the shots. If you're not happy with how your family wants to compensate you, wouldn't it be better to forge a path on your own rather than expend time and energy fighting with family?

If you look on youtube for GaryVee, you can hear how he views all that work he did for his father's company. Hopefully it gives you a new perspective.
The only question is: cui bono? Who would have a reason to go that route?

Someone like Valve, who has a massive investment in Windows software in areas that Microsoft has specifically targeted for "embracing."

What Microsoft doesn't seem to understand is that when they screw with Windows and deprioritize the needs of its users, they're also screwing with the rest of us who live, work, and play in their ecosystem. Gabe Newell, being an old-school 'softie himself, understands that very well... and he's one of the few interested parties with the funding to do something about it.
If they’re making their own CPUs, they can presumably add whatever additional functionality and/or instructions are necessary to make emulation or JIT translation work effectively.

But even if flat-out performance isn’t as good, what about if it proves cheap and easy to scale to more cores? Like, what if you get twice as many cores as the Intel equivalent has threads, albeit at 2/3 the speed (maybe worse or better for some workloads) but no hyperthreading-style contention? This wouldn’t be useless.

And GPU-accelerated functionality will be mostly unaffected.
That was a joke? That was super annoying haha I feel dumb.
Yeah, it is just difficult to eat enough calories when you eliminate grains. That doesn't really mean it's better or worse nutrition.
Comments like this tend to weirdly circulate, I've noticed, with people forgetting that originally, it was completely anecdotal and unsourced.

Op I don't mean to disparage you, but this is the internet, and there just aren't enough grains of salt in the world to allow me to swallow a tale like that without speaking up.

Well, I think it also prevents sugar crashes, caffeine spikes and a whole lot of other minor or possibly severe problems.

It doesn't automatically create a good diet, but it's better than nothing. And at least we can both agree that it's effective, which is more than you can say for some of the nutrition advice out there.

Unless there is a case where feeling weird is actually a good thing, but I can only come up with fairly extreme examples where that would be the case, which comes closer to medicine than nutrition.

I'm not sure why a clustered system can't be distributed? One can always argue over taxonomy, but clustered systems are typically considered to be a type of a distributed system.
