While naming a product should usually be up to the company who creates said product, my opinion on this is that Tesla should no longer be allowed to call this "autopilot", for public safety reasons.

Autopilot is a well known word which suggests a certain level of autonomousness and a car that might kill you if you take your attention away for 6 seconds simply does not qualify for that name. Tesla changing the name from autopilot to something better resembling reality would send a strong message to people to be more careful with using it while the attention is somewhere else
I feel like I'm missing something here. A display that has enough pixels to show the pixel resolution of the source should be able to resolve all the (subsampled) chroma information as well, should it not? (Er, at least as long as the subsampling is done at an integer divisor of the original!)

Anyway, a high-resolution source could look better than a low-resolution source when displayed on a display with the same resolution as the low-resolution source for a number of reasons, perhaps the most obvious being that the high-resolution source might be of higher bandwidth.

Ask HN: How to Keep Improving as a Machine Learning Engineer
I am finishing my Masters in Computer Science in May, 2018. I am interested in becoming a Machine Learning engineer but currently I have got a job as a software engineer. I have a background in Machine Learning because of the courses I have taken at my university and following the Deep Learning Specialization in Coursera. However, I am not good enough to get a job as a Machine Learning Engineer now. I want to know how I can keep improving my skills and what should be my study plan?
Ah yes, the old coffee-cup reference.

The fact that you bring up this case means you are either massively ignorant, or straight up evil. Have your pick.

> I didn't try to give you a platitude. You wanted me to define what is best for everyone and I tried to show you that your question implies that authoritarianism is best. I disagree with your implication.

Cooperation and synergy isn't the same as authoritarianism. There's a reason that civilization and societies reached all major advances and discoveries, and not hermits or tribes.

There's immense value in limiting overhead by delegating fundamental services into a collective pool.

But all that is besides the point. On topic:

I wanted neither you or OP to define what is best, I wanted OP to clarify what he was suggesting since he was suggesting something. I wanted you to clarify what you were saying, since I didn't understand how it fit into my response to OP. Apparently it didn't.

Slavery causes IQ differences? That's a popular but incredibly unsupported claim. White people really have been enslaved and oppressed and bounced back pretty fast. See Jews for instance, or Irish in America, or Slavs, who gave us the word "slave".

In fact, I challenge you to produce any evidence at all for the slavery->IQ hypothesis. It's so ridiculous that young black people have reduced ability to work because their ancestors 5-10 generations ago were forced to work. It's even more ridiculous that the Chinese who were just as oppressed in even more recent past are doing perfectly well now. Maybe oppression only lasts multiple generations when the victims blame another race for it? In that case, we should be working to stop black people from blaming white people. We should be stamping out the idea of "white guilt" because that would be making the problem worse!
Development (in basically every variety) has always been a niche use of computers. It's the niche that produces all the software that everyone else uses, of course, but most people aren't going to program a computer, outside of (perhaps) some school class that'll touch on it.

Productivity's less niche, but it's becoming more and more realistic to imagine someone using a tablet with attached keyboard as their sole computing device (besides the omnipresent smart phone, I mean).

I'd say that the input method doesn't matter so much, although it's interesting to talk about how the commonly used devices are shifting. I'm more worried about native software development sliding into impossibility and content-creation becoming an afterthought.
I guess I don't understand why.

Right, your objection is that we're excluding people, and you ask:

> Is that what we want to do here?

Yes. Just the fact that articles are oriented on tech excludes a whole host of people. And if you include too many people, that in itself will start to exclude people; in addition, the discussion will fall apart.

You're looking at it as a moral issue, and you're not wrong to, it's just that the morality is very much overshadowed by the practical mechanics of running a discussion forum.

I recommend "Choosing in Groups" by Michael Munger for some very insightful thoughts on how this all works.

I work with hospitals and receive access to incredibly private information, as well as access to and knowledge of pharmacy data for highly controlled substances. Some of the hospitals I work with are research institutions, whose researchers are subject to death threats on a regular basis.

I find it perfectly reasonable that they would want a third-party verification of my legal history, drug use, and financial situation.
I'm sure they could run a hosted blog, it's probably a deliberate decision by their tech team to seem cool and hip by posting on Medium, because that's the in thing right now for developer blogs.

Status updates I composed but redacted but were captured from their key logger is my data.

My likes are my data, because that is what the whole Cambridge Analytica thing is about (deriving a personality model from Likes).

My search history is my data, because it helps to identify me as a person.

My phone number they obtained through my friends uploading their contact list is my data.

Clearly, I’m not entitled to all data, but to a lot more than what’s in that archive.

Edit: And of course, if they have a shadow profile on you without you having an account (like your phone number and your name through the address book your friend uploaded), that is all your data, processed without your consent and without a way for you to get hold of.
Why do people have to pay for themselves? I’d pay for me and my social circle.

I’m sure there are lots of people who would pay for their friends. Most people have like 4 good friends, max, anyways. The rest are really just acquaintances, who may be on the network because someone else sponsored them.

And that’s how it can start off. Me and my close friends. I don’t really talk to the whole world so I don’t need the whole world on it. But if I have an acquaintance who is on the platform then great, we can connect on there, too.

And it doesn’t have to be a ridiculous sum. The company can still be very profitable with charging only $1/person/month. With 5 people that’s $60/yr. Facebook makes ~$25 per person in the US and Canada. That works out to 1/5 of facebook’s per-person profit. If a company made 1/5 of facebook’s profit (at facebooks scale), it would be an incredibly successful business.

Plus, facebook has a bunch of crappy UI that exists for the sole purpose of shipping ads. Without the incentive to ship ads to the user, the experience for the users would be waaaaay better. And without the need to collect and analyze so much data about each user, and then manage an ad distribution platform on top of that, the costs of running the platform would be lower.

Right, TPROXY is an iptables module (which implies that without someone to port it (assuming porting is even possible due to architectural differences), it isn't going to work on NFTables).

To clarify my original question, what will cloudflare do if/when iptables finally goes away? Has thought been put into it? Will they implement their own type of TPROXY? Will they continue to support iptables themselves? There's quite a few paths, and I'm interested in which one they deem most optimal because I respect their opinions a lot.

I 95% agree with you. We have a huge problem in the US with recidivism and once someone has paid their debt to society, their past shouldn't be held against them.

However, Checkr is the result of a strong demand for this type of service, not the cause of it. If Checkr didn't exist then companies would use someone else to conduct their background checks.

Sadly, I don't think we'll see a change in this mentality & practice until there is legislation against it. Background checks are just too easy of a way to filter applicants (from an effort perspective), especially for minimum-wage/high turnover jobs.

Also, just to play devil's advocate - would you get into an Uber if you knew the driver had 5 previous DUIs? What happens if/when this person drives drunk again and kills a passenger or a pedestrian?

The ethical decision becomes more nuanced, Uber has a responsibility to do everything it can to ensure the safety of its passengers. You have to draw a line somewhere.
worth noting that causing a speaker to vibrate around .5 and -.5 for a bit and then quickly swapping might mess with high end hardware. super cool though.

> Data about hand position could be in a write cache somewhere waiting to be flushed, inside monitoring service, inside OS, inside RAID controller, inside storage controller, or even de-prioritized by a busy IO scheduler.

You are vastly overestimating things here.

Critical functionality in a car would rarely if ever involve non-deterministic delays. Furthermore, the OS itself (if there even is one) would be a real-time OS.

But even if we assume such delays are present in a Tesla steering wheel monitoring task, absolutely none of the delays you listed would approach anything near a second...
Except the archive contains ads topics, ads engagement history, advertisers who uploaded a contact list with your info, and account login activity, none of which qualify as copyrighted content that you shared. That's private usage data and data about you that Facebook acquired.

Facebook is being selective in what they export here. The result is a misleading impression about what data they have on you.

I can guess what 1. means:

The hits are not exactly on time (fluctuating), but they are not randomly off either.

If you observe a few hits you can guess something statistically about the next hits (correlated).

These possible guesses span more than just 2-3 hits (long-range).

I think they just observed timing. Not much novel insight, but they also made the hi-hat detection from a full-band recording automatic and hope this aids further research. The known insight is, that there are non-trivial, not yet understood patterns in the timing and it's proven that people prefer music that has these patterns. It seems that what feels right is neither something mechanically on point, nor something slightly off in a random fashion, nor just patterns within 2-3 neighboring hits, but something more sophisticated.

What is really promising what they hint at at the end: Feeding these patterns in to drum computers. There are already "grove" patterns for an off timing, but they probably don't feel perfectly natural because they still lack these hidden patterns.

---

About 2.: I'm really not sure, but I'd guess detrending would mean to calculate away things like an accelerando and only observe the pseudo random, minuscule changes in timing. An accelerando would allow for the easy guess that the next hits will come even faster, but this insight would be trivial. You want to exclude these trends from the calculations.

The biggest impact to fishing will probably be that we've fished out most of the worthwhile wild food species. I would put my money on any significant growth occurring in fish farming, or things like lobstering, where we are effectively farming.

Regulations limiting catches and seasons to try to preserve the fisheries in some state of production have already driven many people out of fishing.

Anyone have advice on learning French?
Yes, it's slavery, that's the point, just as prison itself is imprisonment.

We have a retributive system of justice, the point of a sentence is to punish you by harming you. You do a bad thing, society exacts retribution by doing a bad thing to you.

Fines, prison, forced labor, the death penalty are all punishments, and if you don't want those to happen to you, don't commit crimes.
There were people before the civil war who defended slavery on similar grounds. Free workers may or may not be able to afford the necessities, but slaves are guaranteed everything they need. It's not necessarily an absurd line of thought.
Fuck them.
I don't mind increased government funding, I just want people to be aware of the fact that the monopoly of the patent is the award for the cost they have beared developing the patented drug.

Economically useful work is great, both for the prisoners and society. Maybe take a 50% tax cut out of minimum wage and give the prisoners the rest of the money. Put them in a personal account they can use when they're released. It would help them immensely with rehabilitation.
> It sounds like you think you've somehow caught Apple out by showing that other systems can 32 bit somehow.

No. I have no interest in having "caught Apple out". I'm not attacking Apple and am not trying to start a computer tribal blood bath.

Instead of a tribal blood bath, my interest is just the issue of continued compatibility with old applications software.

Easily, being able to run old software has long been just super important in computing. IMHO that goal has been one of the most important reasons for the success of Microsoft and even more important for IBM's mainframe business, virtual machine, etc.

E.g., long there have been really serious IBM mainframe shops that were betting big bucks and much of a big business on old software and looked at new software, including from IBM, as about as welcome as a sick cow in a flock of 200 prime milk cows. So, for any new release, they ran it on a virtual machine or on the "bare metal" on the side, far from production, for months, constantly testing, before their carefully planned switch over to the new code. Point: Some serious people put a lot of emphasis on old software that has been working very well and are darned reluctant to change over.

So, not knowing about Apple, naturally I wondered about their dropping 32 bit support. For contrast, I mentioned some facts I've observed for the computer I'm building now: The processor has 8 cores and 64 bit addressing, and the main memory size is 16 GB. Then Windows XP SP2 32 bit Professional sees all 16 GB of main memory and sees and is willing to use all 8 cores. And the thing, right away, booted and ran the old DOS program Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools -- I'm really happy about that since it promises to mean that finally, finally, after months of time wasted with NTBACKUP and years suffering at risk of losing an operating system installed instance, which has happened several times, finally, finally, at last, I may be able to have a good means of operating system installed instance backup and recovery. It's big stuff for me, and that the Tools are just a DOS program looks terrific to me.

I'm not looking for a computer tribal blood bath. "I have no tribe, and no one [should be] offended".
Neither this nor the alternatives in the replies to you mention anything about moderator tools.

Even the official reddit mobile app only finally got things like viewing mod queue, and approve/remove/spam, very recently. Which means until recently using the actual site on my phone was the only way I could use reddit.

This may seem like a niche request, but it holds back the ability of moderators to use reddit mobile apps, and in turn prevents that class of "power users" from being able to recommend an app to friends.

(and even the site itself isn't great; on desktop I use multiple browser extensions to add functionality reddit itself should be providing)
You can ask to always recieve the desktop website via the hamburger menu. Really the best option IMO.
> Then there's also a "barbell" which you can press and takes you into some lesson, but I never quite figured out what it did.

It takes you into a lesson that it thinks you should review next. Duolingo is meant to implement spaced repetition in that it keeps track of all the times you have seen every word, and it tries to give you lessons that are "due" for repetition according to its algorithm. In the web interface they show you how "strong" each word is in their opinion, but I found that their data on when you last saw a word was buggy.

Anyway, the barbell is useful to keep you up to speed by revisiting stuff once you have finished all the lessons once.
Yeah, that level of burn happen when you spill normally hot coffee on you and can't move away.

That particular lawsuit was bad and so was it's result. Sometimes courts get it wrong, like for example in this case.

>> > Or does this your idea only work for US cultural norms?

> Always these false equivalences, every time

That wasn't a false equivalence, so you have a problem seeing phantoms you want to see. The real issue stands. Perfect bidirectional parity is not practical, especially with a unidirectional decision. The Canadian SJW culture (born of their multicultural norms) is so pervasively ingrained that they confuse equality of outcome as moral righteousness. With the unfortunate tendency to ignore the possible pernicious consequences of these policies, you get what you get. Holding a company to an impractical standard is a great way to push them out of the market.
Yes actually, sort of. Gravitational lensing of remote galaxies is one of the core techniques for mapping the 3D distribution of mass in nearer galaxies and galaxy clusters, which makes it a fantastic tool for studying dark matter. Occasionally they find these Einstein rings as well.

And housing?

It doesn't matter how cheap calories are if you do not have the income to purchase them.

If you like, change food to housing in my original comment. The point still stands: Higher minded pursuits require a level of safety and security to pursue. That level of safety and security does not exist if you do not have food security and housing security, and those things don't exist if you do not have an income.

As for "Who in the United States is really starving?" It's a much, much bigger problem than people realize. https://www.dosomething.org/facts/11-facts-about-hunger-us
And for those who are not members of multi-income households? Cause from what I can see, only about half of the people making minimum wage (according to BLS statistics) are teenagers. That still leaves a lot of people who do rely on the minimum wage, and are thus not able to afford the rising costs of living.
Also, I do find that I post better stuff on HN than on other forums because I'm aware that if I'm ranty it will get downvoted. Sometimes insisting on standards can motivate people to elevate themselves.
