As someone in this field (AI+medicine), I think this is the best analogy. Though a key distinction is that the human body is also a person whereas a plane is not. Physicians are there to promote the health of the person not just their mechanical parts. I've seen doctors fudge billing codes to help poor patients afford care. I've seen doctors pick up on domestic violence situations based on small social cues. There is a certain degree that healthcare relies on the humanness and empathy of physicians to promote human flourishing.
I understand that. I just don't think it applies to this case. It happened to me and close friends, that's why I am skeptical.

It is very easy to have opinions and explanations on something you didn't experience yourself.
For me, it's some of both. Flow is spectacularly useful when I'm working on a chunk of something and have a pretty good understanding of what needs to be done and how. The times when I'm contemplating dramatically different alternatives don't really lend themselves to flow. And in fact, I find that one of the things that blocks flow for me is a semi-conscious realization that I might be following the wrong path in some way.

University PR is far more guilty. Buzzfeed isn't scanning the current issue of "Physical Review Letters" for the latest scoop.

The fix is also very much not simple. Imagine that development of AI systems proceeds as it has thus far... when an AI system turns out biased, racist, sexist, etc - we shut it down. As AIs get more capable, any which do harm, act deceptively, etc - we shut them down.

Eventually, we will have AIs which are better than us in every respect. They will embody our idea of perfection. This is stupendously dangerous. Humanity has a long history of adapting to technology 'taking away' things that everyone thought were 'fundamentally human', like the ability to do work or make things or lay train tracks or whatnot.... it's not hopeful. We deal very poorly with this.

Consider the story of John Henry. He's a folk hero. For killing himself. Because he killed himself in defiance of the machine outperforming him. So this stuff is all-caps Important. What is the likely response from humanity when there is a perfect, not machine but mind? My bet? Humanity will identify with its worse aspects. It will enshrine hatred, irrationality, mean-spirited spite, violence, self-destruction, and all of the things we built AIs to never stray into. Those will become "what it means to be human."

AI may be a philosophical crisis unlike anything humanity has ever faced. Not in kind, but simply in degree.

They key to memory is spaced repetition. I do it like this:

- Read the content
- Make 1 / 2 sentence question, or just write the title
- Do something else (coding) for 10 mins
- Come back to it, if you cant remember it, read it again, if I can remember it, keep reading.

At the end of the day, review the notes, and move all the bullet points to another list.

Come back to it tomorrow.

Keep sorting and moving content up and down the lists until your remember it.

I use the mac notes app for this, because then it auto-syncs with my ipad and phone. If I'm on the train, or in the uber, I can get my phone out and do a quick memory jog
> 1. No result is 100% reproducible because you can never completely reproduce the conditions of any experiment.

It's worth noting that this is part of the goal of reproducing results. If two identical experiments produce the same result, you're only providing proof for the very narrow theory the experiment tests. Slightly different experiments allow you to demonstrate that the theory is applicable. Imagine if evolution only occurred in the Galapagos, or if gravity only worked in an apple orchard in Cambridge. The only reason we know that evolution and gravity aren't local oddities is that they have both been tested in a wide variety of locations, with a wide variety of experiments.
I think the analogy is strained. But Facebook wields absolute coercion power inside their platform. Banning posts, pages, accounts, and apps without due process or recourse.

I don't agree with Klemencic on this - given a big enough earthquake with large enough building sway (imagine a tower being a vertical beam with the base fixed and the top swaying back and forth) the structure can fail such that the momentum of the building during maximum sway will either break the building and/or cause the building to impact other swaying buildings.
Why Specs Change: EPUB 3.2 and the Evolution of the Ebook Ecosystem
These analogies involving valuable physical items are way off base. If I'm walking along the street and see a diamond ring lying there, I can only assume that it belongs to someone else and they've misplaced it (because it's very valuable and, crucially, there is no way for the owner to make use of its value if they've lost possession of it). I may not have any way to locate the owner, but I still recognize that it belongs to someone else and that for me to take it and keep it would deprive them of their property (probably, I should take it to the police).

If you insist on analogies involving lost rings, this situation is more like taking a picture of a ring someone lost in the street than it is like taking the ring.
Wait, I thought everyone lived in the US?
This does not seem to be a line of argument that flatters technocratic rule, especially considering that governance can hardly ignore the issues that are the purviews of economics, sociology, psychology, and other "soft" disciplines.
After 1950, I think the continental/analytic split had grown so pronounced that reconciling the two is somewhat hopeless. I think most philosophy departments in English-speaking universities are so analytic-oriented that asking English-speaking philosophers to rate late-20th-century Continental philosophers is somewhat pointless.
I like Russell. He's a witty and entertaining writer. But anyone reading his work should be aware that he's heavily biased towards an Analytic perspective.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any summary from the Continental perspective that's remotely as well written as Russell's. Maybe you could start with reading through some of those comic-book style "Introduction to..." books about various philosophers. They seem to do a decent enough job for a taste of what the philosopher in question is about.

But, really, there's no substitute for taking an intro to philosophy course. Philosophy isn't just meant to be read and pondered. It's critically important to discuss it and the ideas and questions it provokes in you with others who are also encountering this material along with you. A philosophy course is ideal for that. Though, once again, the Analytics dominate such courses in the English-speaking world (and increasingly in the rest of the world as well). So it's pretty hard to find philosophy courses where you can get an Continental perspective.
I wonder if there are any lessons to be learned from other times and places.

Is this similar to Dyna-Q learning, but with modeling/simulation being handled by the RNN?

It looks like the VAE is just used to create a feature vector, so the main difference seems to be in the MDN-RNN - which is taking the place of the usual state/action simulation in Dyna-Q.
Even if those statistics are accurate, my response to such companies would still be “boo hoo”. If your company wants to rake in the billions of dollars in benefits, you need to spend some money too. If your company can’t handle the time/effort then you shouldn’t aim for a billion users.
These are the rumored "Zen+" processors, which seem to have memory-controller updates and clock speed boosts compared to the original Zen release. Mostly because AMD upgraded the process from 14LPP to 12LP, but otherwise the architecture is almost untouched.

There seems to be a press embargo for another few days, but the leaked benchmarks from various Youtubers seem to be quite promising (especially considering that the Ryzen architecture hasn't changed. Apparently these memory controller updates were good enough to get IPC-bonus to this 2nd gen release).

I'd still wait for official benchmarks from major reporting outlets before buying. But it seems like an overall good "minor" update to the Ryzen line of chips.

Rumors are ~5% to ~10% performance boost from 1800x to 2700x. There is a slight boost in IPC due to better memory, as well as higher clocks.

Since the 2700x comes with a free CPU Cooler (and the Wrath Prism is a surprisingly good cooler for $0), it will be a better value than the last generation for sure. 1800x launched at $500, but the 2700x launches at $329 with a free CPU cooler.

This is definitely a very high-value deal. Great price/performance, although I'm still going to be cautiously optimistic until official benchmarks are revealed in a week or so. Its safer to confirm those rumors before believing them!
Not really, since libraries are not laid out randomly, and few electronic display experiences allow the kind of massively parallel visual scanning that humans are good at.
Whois info should be available for all businesses under EU law, under the European Directive on Electronic Commerce. In the EU, privacy is only for individuals. If you're in business, the commercial rules apply:[1]

Member States shall ensure that the service provider shall render easily, directly and permanently accessible to the recipients of the service and competent authorities, at least the following information: (a) the name of the service provider, (b) the geographic address at which the service provider is established, (c) the details of the service provider, including his electronic mail address, which allow him to be contacted rapidly and communicated with in a direct and effective manner.

A "service provider" is basically anyone with a commercial web site. See (17) and (18) in [1] for the detailed definition.

Ultimately, it comes down to semantics. Does a vacuum suck or does external pressure push in on the vacuum? My highschool chem teacher said, "there is no suck," but, depending on your perspective, either explanation is valid. Reality is subjective and language is imperfect.

Vietnam? Afghanistan isn't over, but it isn't exactly a bastion of stability.

Syria is a highly-complex environment, but it more closely resembles a traditional "take-and-hold territory" war. ISIS needed territory to fulfill their caliphate, for instance.

Should another insurrection occur in the US, I would assume it would resemble an insurgency rather than a proper war. You're not going to see a company of modern-day Johnny Reb's parade through your town. You're going to see bombings, assassinations, and destruction of critical infrastructure by what one could reasonably call a terrorist... or freedom fighter.

The 2A making it such that small arms and ammunition are distributed so thoroughly makes it hard for a tyrant to take hold and thrive. If you live amongst the jackboots, then you can hit them when they're vulnerable.
Assuming that in the future most businesses use crytocurrencies (which I think we can all agree on would be awesome and better than what exists), they will need to be able to access their money even if they make a mistake.

We're not taking money from you or I and giving it to a failing institution (a bailout). We are setting up a procedure so that when mistakes are inevitably made, someone can still access their funds.

After all we all agree it is all of these company's funds, right?
Always willing to learn more. I was going off of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdaBoost
which mentions "Unlike neural networks and SVMs, the AdaBoost training process selects only those features known to improve the predictive power of the model, reducing dimensionality and potentially improving execution time as irrelevant features need not be computed."

edit: When I read about ensemble theory, you receive support for the increased computational cost.

Evaluating the prediction of an ensemble typically requires more computation than evaluating the prediction of a single model, so ensembles may be thought of as a way to compensate for poor learning algorithms by performing a lot of extra computation. Fast algorithms such as decision trees are commonly used in ensemble methods (for example Random Forest), although slower algorithms can benefit from ensemble techniques as well.

But I found this interesting:

Empirically, ensembles tend to yield better results when there is a significant diversity among the models.[4][5] Many ensemble methods, therefore, seek to promote diversity among the models they combine.[6][7] Although perhaps non-intuitive, more random algorithms (like random decision trees) can be used to produce a stronger ensemble than very deliberate algorithms (like entropy-reducing decision trees).[8] Using a variety of strong learning algorithms, however, has been shown to be more effective than using techniques that attempt to dumb-down the models in order to promote diversity.[9]

..which under my analogy would seem to suggest that exact replication is less productive than having a diversity of study designs.

Description tags matter in terms of converting a search to a click. So, while Google says there isn't a body for putting keywords in the description, I still do because it gives the searcher confidence that the content on the page will match their search query.

Choosing a Tech Stack
The premium domain marketplace puzzles me. I once had a domain name registered that was fairly obscure (a play on my actual name, not a real word, not close to a misspelling of a real word/phrase, not obviously useful to anybody but me) and that I never actually used, but within a week or two of my registration expiring it had been snapped up and was now listed for sale for $500.

I set up an alert in my calendar to remind me a year later, thinking that once the new registration expired, it might again be available for a normal price. But when the time came, the new registrant had renewed it for a second year, and it was still listed for $500.

Fast forward to today, when I saw this item on HN and it prompted me to go check on that name again. Turns out the registration expired a few months ago, and I just registered it for $10.

But I can't imagine why it was snapped up by a broker in the first place, i.e., why anyone ever thought it would be worth $500, and I can't figure out how it could possibly be profitable to squat on vast quantities of domains like this. The whole thing seems vaguely scammy to me...

Correlating that they’re together wouldn’t explain how the ad networks figured out they were outside looking at houses.

MAC addresses are never transmitted past the first layer 2 hop, so it would require either a compromised switch/access point (like public WiFi) to be nearby and the phone to connect to it (phones randomise MACs when searching for networks to protect against that).
As I wrote above, studies about people, which the aforementioned Nazi stuff would fall into. I don't have a specific study in mind, but I do know that the further you stray from math/physics/chemistry, creating metrics and isolating variables is very, very difficult.

I don't need a specific study to know that. Any sociology/economic/psychology research should be taken with a grain of salt.
This has a name! Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon.
I think it's an open field for you to use however you want. E.g. If it's a Bill and you use the bill functionality, that column gets auto-populated for you using the "Bill ID". Likewise for sales-receipts, it gets populated with the Receipt ID that you filled in when creating the sales receipt. If you leave them blank when creating those items, an auto-incremented ID gets filled in. At least for Receipts and Bills, GNUCash keeps separate sequences of unique IDs.

So, you can use it to match it against a bill, invoice, whatever is applicable to that entry.

Also, had a quick look in the account XML regarding Bill/Receipt ID. It get's stored as ID, even though the bill/receipt has a unique GUID to identify it. I would assume that means it need-not be unique.
I would imagine having such an autopilot would make one less professed at any particular subject.
Really surprised this has not happen earlier.
Those familiar with the field will recognize an augmented reality microscope as an incomplete alternative to, or stepping-stone towards AI applied to whole-slide images, which are multi-resolution images of more or less identical quality quality to that of a microscope.

For some use-cases, deploying AI to microscopic fields of view is a viable, lower-cost alternative to creating whole-slide images and running AI on them in their entirety (whole-slide scanners are a bit expensive). Specifically, if a pathologists identifies a suspicious region, the augmented scope can provide useful support. However, many types of anatomic pathology assessment require laborious review of several slides. Only AI applied to whole-slide images can pre-identify rare events or "hot spots", saving pathologist time while improving diagnostic confidence.
At this point it becomes clear to anyone interested in open but connected technologies that respect your privacy is that monetisation itself is the problem.
Facebook's Next Act
The citation of "Godwin's law" in this way is so tiresome. Firstly, the law just says that Nazis will come up -- not that bringing them up necessarily invalidates one's argument. Godwin himself has endorsed likening some groups to Nazis.

More importantly, the example of the Nazis is useful in an ethical argument, because they're an almost universally acknowledged example of evil. Much like we aim to test our programs with extreme inputs, we can use the "extreme input" of Nazism to test our ethical arguments. If I posit some universal ethical standard, and then find that it doesn't seem to work if we take the Nazis, we've proven by counterexample that my standard is not universal after all.
