there is nothing like backpropagation in the brain, or a probabilistic pattern matcher. there is evidence that a connectionist model is applicable, but learning is not deciphered, and there are aspects of it, like neuronal excitability, local dendritic spiking, oscillations, up and down states etc, which do not translate at all to DL systems. That said, the increasing success of connectionist architecture does point to the conclusion that the brain is also a connectionist machine.
I don't think the parent sees a problem with an 8 hours challenge in general.

The problem seems to be with unpaid 8-hour challenge.

Recruiting is not a cost-free process to begin with, and perhaps this is not the right place to cut these costs.
Can I use an analogy from biology to shed light on the valid point you have?

Human beings exist as part of a society--a larger organism. Imagine if a cell were permitted to send any proteins or RNA it wanted to its neighboring cells. As long as the signals are benign or simply "nuisance" level, it's fine. But if the signals subvert the very organism of which they are a part--for example, by tricking neighboring cells into ignoring programmed cell death and encouraging enlarged blood vessel growth in the area--then there is a real danger that these cells are becoming a cancer to the host body that sustains their very existence.

I think the scare-quotes you put around "service" might be to show that a communication service that silences your communication is no service at all. But isn't that true of any complex, principle-based decision? If you have a friend who says he is going to blow up a federal building, and you report him, are you a "friend"? Some principles trump others--like saving lives over sustaining friendships, for instance. In the same manner, I think there are legitimate cases where a "service" should not serve.

How that should work in practice is still being worked out--in the halls of tech companies and legislatures all over the world.
Companies can be fined for what they do overseas. A prime example is the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which makes it possible to punish American companies for bribery overseas, even in countries where bribery isn't illegal or where the line between bribes and processing fees is blurred. Additionally, I know it's also possible to sue a foreign company for something they did in a foreign land. The US in that case may freeze assets associated with company or the country as a whole if the they're pissed off enough.

Did you read the article? Some of your questions would have been answered
No. But the parent said 'anything' not 'everything' and that seems less ambitious. I would think that ML which could find patterns in what your employees do day to day and make suggestions about how to make improvements (like virtual efficiency audits) would benefit many businesses. Even for individual users, just having their OS be able to pipe up like a latter-day Clippy and say "hey, I notice you copying data from This.app and pasting it into That.app, want me to take a stab at repeating that until all the fields are populated?" would be potentially a huge improvement (and the OS is already gathering enough telemetry that's barely more intrusive).
Wherever you go, if you’re a US citizen or do business in the US the SEC has long arm jurisdiction. The degree to which they can reach out and just take would be shocking to anyone who didn’t already know about their powers.

In fact as you can see, you don’t even need to be a US citizen or company. The SEC can take its time and when it has a mind to, just reach out and fuck up all of the cryptocurrencies they decide broke the rules, and do it retroactively. They have a ton of power, backed by the US and a number of treaties. If you’re in the EU, the SEC won’t even have to break a sweat.
This is a broad question. What type of traveling? Consultant travel when you're M-F at a client's repeatedly? RTW digital nomading? Domestic/international?

- obvious is don't check your bags if you don't need to

- noise-canceling headphones for the airplane are worth the $2-300. be sure to pack spare battery (the Bose case has a slot for one)

- bring a lacrosse ball in case you get a tight back, sore muscles. maybe a Theracane if you have more serious issues

- be sure to tag your luggage and throw a business card in there just in case the checked bag happens to get lost

- do a morning bodyweight routine instead of relying on a gym and equipment since you don't know how facilities are at every hotel. check out the 7-minute workout for ideas: https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-m...

- if you're a traveling consultant, pay someone else to do your laundry instead of trying doing it yourself on your shrinking weekends

- splurge for Global Entry (gives you TSA-Pre). ideally you've already applied for a travel rewards credit card that will credit you for it

- make it a point to hang out with your friends on the weekends when you're back home. schedule things in advance, check out concerts, museums, etc.

I don't - there are plenty of ways to get visual ideas/concepts into the document. You can refer them to the appendix or embed it in. Appendixes are often quite large on complex topics.

The big benefit is that meetings start with people reading the documents and thinking about them - you'll see people making notes in the margins, etc. Only after everyone has had a chance to read the doc do you start discussing it, so you save a lot of time answering questions that are answered in the doc.

They also created Flickr. Both Flickr and Slack were detours to market internal tools to outside customers on the way to making a game which never actually got made.

Why can't Stripe do the same thing? It's got this gigantic customer base of fledgling businesses; why not start building internal tools and then, once they're mature and battle-tested internally, offer them publicly to the growing businesses they already work with? It's an ingenious move.
How does this compare with CockroachDB? I'm planning to use CockroachDB for a project but would love to get an idea if I can get better results with FoundationDB.
Those options both suck; I'd turn them both down. There are plenty of other places to work that will treat you like a professional.
Well on first guess, I would assume that FoundationDB is more mature than tikv, although I have never used either but tikv looks cool

Google Surveys
Federation makes a lot of moderation decisions easier. If an instance chooses to stop federating with another instance, it's not like the entire other instance disappears and those users now do not have a place to discuss their ideas, all that happens is that their ideas cannot spread into the Federated network they were cut off from. Likewise if an individual is banned from one Fediverse, then they can join one more hospitable to their beliefs. Probably the worst case scenario would be if an instance were to go down (or get hacked), in which case the users would have to find another instance to go to, but they could probably sign up at another instance that they were previously federated with.
he does point elsewhere that machine learning solutions must account for "long tail" data , so it seems to me he 's looking for perfect solutions that will never exist.
My understanding is that a micromanagement-based AI is likely not to be an "interesting" difficult AI to beat. The DeepMind project is aimed more towards (with its apm caps) at building something that makes good decisions (e.g., unit composition, build orders, crisis management) instead of relying on brute force optimal control of units. While it is likely possible to completely break the balance of the game with perfect unit control, playing against such an AI (which is really just a bot at this point) would get stale pretty quickly.

They're a US company not following US law.

> they launched from an INDIAN launcher

And? If it's illegal to, say, hack into your competitors servers and steal all their intellectual property, you don't get to mail a server to somewhere with weak IP laws, and then do all the theft.

> Seriously -- what power does the FCC hope to exert at this point?

Well, they can fine the hell out of Swarm (as the article explicitly states, so I'm not sure why you seem confused on this point)! That's what US regulators do when US companies violate US regulations, as (apparently) happened here.

> We live in a world where launchers exist in other countries

That doesn't do you much good if you aren't in the other country. If they wanted to not follow US laws, they probably should have moved somewhere else first.
I've always felt like macro is pretty easy to automate, once you've identified a lot of the potentials in the early game you can get going pretty well. Is AI playing against each other getting to some sort of endgame consistently (against equal opponents), or are they having blowouts because of some small difference in midgame?

Also wondering what the interface is - are they creating a virtual mouse/keyboard to enter inputs, are they playing in some sort of headless mode? How do they deal with recognizing units?
Alpha males hurt alpha: Hedge fund managers with high testosterone underperform
I'd disagree. At the pro level, choices like unit composition and expansion timing are very strongly influenced by what the other player is doing. I've seen videos where a caster (like Lowko) breaks down "the build order" that a player did in a pro level game, only for the pro to turn around and say something like: I wasn't following a strict build order, just reacting to what I saw from the opponent.

I watched a pro game just the other day where one of the players noticed that their protoss opponent had a late timing on their second pylon in their main base - as in, it should have been there, but wasn't. That protoss player has a well-known penchant for early game stargate harassment, so the other player read this situation and reacted by delaying their first expansion and instead producing early-game air defenses.

As another example, take unit composition. If a terran player is running a bio-based army (marine, marauder, medivac), what sort of units should zerg produce? Infestors are usually a good choice in this matchup. On the other hand, mass infestors will be much worse against a primarily mech-based terran army; instead you might see many vipers on the field (which, vice versa, wouldn't be great against a bio army).

Pro players are essentially always scouting what their opponent's doing because the macro decisions can make or break the game. The general sentiment I've seen that is good macro skills will push you far up into SC2 leagues, and it's not until diamond/masters that micro starts to really matter.
Essentially it'd come into play for "mangling" that hasn't resulted in actual evisceration - entire spinal column snapped, bent at 90 degrees (as opposed to transection that leads to paralysis), head twisted around, and so on. Probably almost exclusively the result of high impact trauma.
Basically a variation on the “we saved enough money on storing just two digits for year instead of four that the Y2K work was more than paid for“. The opportunity might be more than worth the refactoring cost later.
Can someone with more karma modify the title to be less click-bait-ey?
If I had to guess, I'd say that he'd tell you, that those managers "managed" (haha, get it?) to prevent the worst of bad losses to shareholders and got paid accordingly, and/or that said payments were contractually agreed on.

I can't bring myself to categorically disagree with either of those positions, because big business, fundamentally, is about setting common goals for absurdly large groups of people and to operate within even (much) larger groups of people in the real world. Complicated situations are bound to arise, and even if a manager failed to save a company, their contract entitles them to bonuses for whatever business goals they did achieve. If they managed to get that agreement signed beforehand, it needs to be honored, because binding contracts are a really fundamental building block of society, that needs to stay intact.

It's legitimate, though, to question the payment amounts and business goals they were bound on, as well as whether payments were made, that they were not entitled to. That's where our taxes need to fund a strong justice system, that can bring corruption suits to such cases.

Also, I'm sympathetic to situations and feelings of people being ground up in corrupt systems and I think we really need to understand how capitalism-apologists insulate themselves against those feelings by focussing on the guilt of weak people for not taking care of themselves.
It's a coping mechanism, that helps when one has been of the receiving end of things before, but on the way up.
It also protects from the guilt of not being able to help everybody, that one would like to.

You've missed the point: users should get privacy by default and make choices to preserve their privacy, not have to dodge service requests (like getting another email address) to keep their privacy. The point isn't technical, it's ethical.

Services you should handle yourself on your own computer (like RSS feed reading) can be done for you but when they're done for you they become "Service as a Software Substitute" or "SaaSS" (see https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-s... for more on that).

A SaaSS RSS feed reader grants others power over what you're allowed to read, when you're allowed to read it, and that choice also empowers others to track you in your reading. If you don't value your privacy you'll lose it and then you'll likely come to regret losing it after it's too late and you've given trackers enough information to predict your habits.

100% agree - names matter.
If this project uses the BWAPI (which it says it does in the paper), then I assume that this doesn't need to recognize units as that state is available from the game. On the other hand, the DeepMind "research environment" (https://deepmind.com/blog/deepmind-and-blizzard-open-starcra...), presents a simplified view of the map that requires AIs to recognize units as simplified blobs on the map and issue commands that more closely resemble what a human would do via mouse and keyboard.
Pretty much, except I'd use our data retention mechanisms instead of #2 (directly deleting the rows), as it's much more efficient.

So to review:

1) Create a "raw" and "rollup" table. Define the rollup table with the right UNIQUE constraint (say, on timestamp and server_id). Call create_hypertable() to convert them both to Timescale hypertables.

2) Write a rollup UPSERT query similar to following:

INSERT INTO rollup VALUES (
SELECT time_bucket('10 minutes', time) as time, server_id, sum(value) as sum, count(value) as count FROM raw WHERE time > now() - interval '20 minutes' GROUPBY time, server_id)
ON CONFLICT (time, server_id)
DO UPDATE SET sum = excluded.sum, count = excluded.com;

3) Write a data retention query: SELECT drop_chunks(interval '6 hours', 'raw');

4) Then schedule the rollup query to run every 10 minutes, and the data retention query to run, e.g., every 3 hours. Note that the rollup query above will properly handle late data.

A more detailed tutorial is in the works (e.g., using triggers for late data rather than the "20 minute sweep" trick as above). But also happy to help out in our slack channel: http://slack.timescale.com/
Neither did I! Thomas Clarke, Duncan Maclean, Arthur Norman and I built the SKIM (S,K,I Machine) at Cambridge in around 1980. This directly executed a whole set of combinators -- it was built out of TTL and it had 32k 16-bit words of memory and the microcode lived in 4k words of eprom -- it was maybe 100 ICs in all one two cards.

Just like playing against MarineKing would get stale quickly for most players :P

The problem with starcraft is that its like chess - for a lot of players it really DOES get stale pretty quickly, with only one or two interesting moments in a game (assuming no early blunders). The games that are interesting involve near perfect play for 10-20 minutes and then frequently one split second decision. Macro changes or new strategies are quickly picked up and interated on, and I think thats what the hardcore still stick around for
Never tried tt-rss but have tried Freshness and ended up settling on Miniflux as my preferred reader.

Miniflux:
+ Single binary, no Cron jobs
+ Easy to run in a container - nothing is stored to a file - everything in the DB
+ Supports Let's Encrypt out of the box
+ Simple fast UI
+ Fever API support, good readers exist for iOS, less Android (working on that though)
- No web push notifications
- No PubSubHubbub support (though I couldn't make that work with FreshRSS either)
- No maintained Android clients (if in wrong please tell me!)
- Only supports PostgreSQL

FreshRSS:
+ Richer feature set
+ Push notifications
+ PubSubHubbub
+ Android apps, though they aren't perfect
- More moving parts, needs Cron, PHP
- Harder to run in a container
- Web UI is worse on mobile

I never apply for a job blind or through an applicant tracking system. I always use local recruiters that I've nurtured relationships with.

I also don't negotiate salary. I know my market and tell the recruiters up front how much I want to make. They don't waste my time submitting me to companies where I am above the salary range.

I know that, for fixed winglets, there are a couple of (equivalent) ways of looking at them. The first way to look at them is that they resist the tendency of higher pressure air under the wing to leak around the wing tip to the lower pressure air on the top. The second way to look at them is that the winglets are flying in a circulating flow, and a portion of their lift is in the direction of travel of the airplane. (That one is trickier to see, for some.)

My educated guess is that tip propellers would operate counter to the vortex direction, so that their vorticity would tend to cancel the trailing vortices. Notionally, you could think of them as throwing air back under the wing, though that's just a heuristic I made up to help imagine the direction they'd spin.

Tl;dr: It's complicated!
The difference is that an interesting AI could likely be scaled back meaningfully for lower skill levels. Make MarineKing play with only the mouse against a lower skilled opponent? The results might be less stale.
