We're building a suite of tools that let crypto enthusiasts measure the aggregate social sentiment for any coin to provide clues on where the price will go.

We're crawling and indexing over 24M+ posts on the 2 most popular crypto boards: Bitcointalk and Reddit (the crypto related subreddits), and working on adding Telegram, YouTube, and Twitter. We're performing NER to extract the names of the coin, doing sentiment analysis (combination of pre-trained DeepMoji and fastText models), and overlaying historical coin price.

Examples:

TRON: https://amuletplatform.com/data/coin/1311

Stellar: https://amuletplatform.com/data/coin/1211

We've also implemented our own search engine on top of this data (https://amuletplatform.com/data/) that ranks results based on the quality of the author (we detect users who shill or post low quality content, and rank them lower).

Still got a lot of work todo, but wanted to get some early feedback!
Those are 1971 IBM patents.

It would be interesting to know anything more on the AMD/Intel agreements than the vague "x86 cross licensing" though for sure.
The question of how to identify large complex works, of potentially variable forms (markup or editing format, HTML, PDF, ePub, .mobi, etc.) such that changes and correspondences can be noted, is a question I've been kicking around.

Chunk-based hashing could work. Corresponding those to document structure (paragraphs, sentences, chapters, ...) might make more sense.

They _had_ WMDs, and quite a lot of them.

Not on the scale they've believed, though.
See the chart titled: Performance in images per second per $.

TPUv2 is has 1.27x-1.86x the images/s/$.

And the other chart titled: Cost to reach 75.7% top-1 accuracy.

Where TPUv2 costs 62.5% the reserved GPU instance and 42.6% the unreserved GPU cost.

Key takeaway from the article:

> While the V100s perform similarly fast, the higher price and slower convergence of the implementation results in a considerably higher cost-to-solution.
> It would seem Google HR / Recruiting hasn't improved in all these years.

I agree that your experience in 2003 was terrible, but to draw this conclusion from the article is extremely presumptuous. There are lots of well-intentioned people working in recruiting at Google, and you are suggesting that none of them have made any improvement in the process in 15 years?
Facebook has substantial video component too, so it's a legitimate target. Back when I used it, I uploaded simultaneously to Facebook and to YouTube and my Facebook videos always got 2-3x views.

I tend to be pretty critical of Linux because I do genuinely believe there's a lot of stuff in Linux that's really bad.

Would I ever give it up and switch to Windows/Mac? No, never in a million years. Compared to modern Windows 10, Gnome's UX is masterful.

Linux has actually come pretty far - set up is still annoying, and some problems are still unnecessarily difficult to solve, but for the most part once you get everything up and running you have a system that just works, and that will keep on working without you having to do much.

I've used Linux for a long time, but it's only recently that I've felt confident enough that I've started seriously recommending it to non-technical people. I've got my Mom running Ubuntu as her main computer, and over the past year it cut down on my technical support by about 2/3rds of what I was doing before.

I think it's easy to take the good things for granted. Yeah, to a certain degree Linux is crap, but pretty much all software I or anyone else ever makes is going to be crap - that's the hard lesson you have to learn when you start developing software.

It's still hands-down the best OS out there if you just want a stable, usable computer that respects you, and I still feel really grateful for it every time I boot up my computer to get actual work done.
So is this solvable by writing an app that downloads updates for all of friend/page's walls regularly and creates its own aggregated newsfeed/filter? Or is this not accessible in Facebook API?

I don't use FB anymore, but that's what I'd do. Data is there, so it's only the matter of storing them locally, creating my own wall, and then linking back to facebook for interaction/comments if necessary.
RBMs went out of fashion after 2010-2011, as other architectures worked better than them in almost all of the tasks in vision.

No, but if you're working two jobs, your time for doing that is extremely limited. Double so if you have a family. Your dad probably was not working more than 8 hours a day. A lot of people that the article is talking about are those that have to work much more than that.

Depends on how much you plan to use the hardware. If it's running near continuously, total cost of ownership is very important. Power costs can quickly dominate TCO.

Full automatic steer isn’t needed for this. Many many cars, for at least a decade, have had lane keep assist.

Now active lane keep assist is even more common, which steers you back into your lane, but doesn’t actively steer until you drift, preventing the main abuses of the feature.
And (at least in Xfce) dragging to a corner makes it fill that quarter of the screen. Really nice for building tri-window layouts where you need one tall and two short windows, which is how I typically arrange my windows when I use a tiling WM anyway, especially when programming: tall window for code, top short for Magit, bottom short for DirEd (if I have a high enough resolution, I might sometimes turn that into three smalls - Magit + DirEd + a REPL - which Xfce doesn't seem to support, unfortunately).
I remember reading http://andrewgelman.com/2016/11/13/more-on-my-paper-with-joh...

with its graph "This is what power = 0.06 looks like". So I got the point that you have to have sufficient statistical power. A useful rule of thumb is that you need a power of at least 0.8. You need to have some idea how big the effect is likely to. Perhaps from previous exploratory research, from claims of other researchers, from reasoning "well, if this is happening the way we think it is, there has to be an effect greater than x waiting to be discovered.". Then you work out how big a sample size you need to use. Then you roll up your sleeves and get down to work.

But the reason for using p values rather than Bayesian inference is that it gets you out of the tricky problem of coming up with a prior. You only need to think about the null hypothesis and ask yourself whether the probability of the data, given the null hypothesis, is less than 0.05.

So there is a bit of contradiction. p values don't really work unless you ensure that you have sufficient power. To do that you need a plausible effect size, to feed into your power calculation. And that is implicitly an rough approximate prior, 50:50 either null or that effect. You could just do a Bayesian update, stating how much you shifted from 50:50.

Basically, if you don't already know enough to have an arguable prior to get a Bayesian approach started, you don't know enough to do a power calculation, so you shouldn't be using p-values either.

I went looking on andrewgelman.com for a reference for wanting power = 0.8 and found a more recent post

Im suggesting that more houses get built downtown in the city.

Not EVERYONE would have to live in the city. A lot are interested, and would move there themselves, and this would cut down on traffic significantly.
Would this be possible if there was only a single, global currency, resulting in part where no single nation can print money? It feels like it would solve a bunch of major issues. It would obviously take a lot of delicate diplomacy to reach that goal.
That's technically an affirmative defense, rather than a right.

100% of those software engineers have a plethora of safety checks that are applied continuously and repeatedly before their work is ever used in an environment where any harm might actually be done to anyone.

Yes, mission critical software can kill people if it's not done right. That never happens because the developer was tired of a morning.

Humans will never go extinct from anything like that. Even if there are nuclear wars worldwide, some of us will always survive.

Other species will not. Through climate change we have brought ill effects to the whole ecosystem of Earth. And irreversible phase already started. That's why doom is used often. You can always say we are not doomed because humans are selfish and don't want to take the blame. Or take as little blame as possible or just plain ignore.

Regarding giving up hope and being careless, I can say one thing. Saying doomed does not make people give up. But saying it's not as bad as it looks definitely makes people be careless. Because they now things it's ok and we will survive anyhow, so why should I put effort and suffer. That's what I have seen with climate change deniers.
heard about both.

Ghost looks like more for the hosting service similar to wordpress.com. I want to self-host, so it is not the best option.

a quick check did not reveal how Netlify does its CMS, e.g. post can be public/private/user-access-by-permissions, note CMS means I can classify various levels of access rights, i.e. content-management(instead of just publishing). Most CMS are geared towards public viewing, which is what blog does, but CMS should do more,

Drupal with its access module got CMS right(still not built-in though), Wordpress is similar, default for public viewing, but you have plugin to control each posts' access rights. I have yet to see an OSS CMS without the need of modules/plugins to make it a true CMS.
Are you implying that because you went through a couple of good interviews with them, and because one director who works at Google said that they don't hire this way, it doesn't happen?

That's the worst logic ever.

I'm blaming Google for doing this, and you take it to imply that I said you work at Google? Maybe you didn't accept those offers from Google. It still doesn't mean those things didn't happen at Google - and it is extremely shameful that you resort to defending them.

Congratulations, what you have done is just free PR for Google. I'd rather listen to everyone else than you.
You can still get them, labeled as "rugged service" or for other special purpose. They are about 10x the former price. I bought about 100 60-watt bulbs before the ban was imposed.

1. I think the maximise button is still there. I don't think they altered it at all.

2. If small targets like the maximise button aren't a problem for you, then stopping the windows drag a few pixels before the mouse hits the top of the screen should be easy for you as well.

The drag to the top is nice because it mirrors the drag to left and right side. Since this is Linux, I'm sure you can configure this stuff somewhere.

I can try. (I am a coauthor of this paper)
First off, Unlearn.ai is a startup working to build new tools that make precision medicine a reality. We needed to be able to build generative models which allow us to
1. model multimodal data easily (consider medical datasets with categorical data, binary, and continuous, with various bounds etc. all mixed together)
2. be able to answer counterfactual questions about data (for example if I down regulate a gene how does this effect the rest of the gene expression?)
3. be able to build models which handle time-series data (give me a likely progression of this person's cognitive scores given their current scores and other indicators)

RBMs are natural candidates for models which handle these kind of issues quite well. 1. Although people have done work trying to get GANs to work well with multimodal data, it's pretty kludgy. 2. GANs do not provide a means of inference (contrast VAEs which can satisfy this demand). 3. We have built a solid extension of RBMs to temporal models which work quite well.

However, as explained in this paper, stock RBMs have significant training issues. This paper attempts to improve the situation.
I still google things i know how to do that i don't use often because it's quicker to copy and paste than to try remember details that are vague in my memory. The example given is exactly one of those cases.

That's changed.

A few months ago we stopped referring to robots.txt files on U.S. government and military web sites for both crawling and displaying web pages (though we respond to removal requests sent to info@archive.org). As we have moved towards broader access it has not caused problems, which we take as a good sign. We are now looking to do this more broadly.

We see the future of web archiving relying less on robots.txt file declarations geared toward search engines, and more on representing the web as it really was, and is, from a user’s perspective.

> I'm from the UK, and citizens can only own shotguns or sporting rifles, and the checks and character references are very strict.

So? If the only purpose of a gun is to kill people, why are you okay with any guns at all? Would you be okay with private citizens having access to small amounts of sarin gas? That is something which serves only the purpose of killing people, and it's rightly regulated away from private citizens completely.

> The police even have to get involved. More to the point, no one in UK wants to own a gun. They feel safe without them. America's obsession with guns and the delusion of thinking they are safer because of them, is insane.

That's entirely irrelevant to the discussion. You either believe the sole purpose of a gun is to kill someone, as your earlier statements implied, or you don't.

If you do believe that, why are you using your own government's stance where items whose only purpose is to kill someone are allowed in the possession of private citizens, even after stringent checks?

If you don't believe that, why make the statement at all? My whole point is that it's inflammatory and easily disproved, so if you don't believe it you are either being disingenuous or so loose with your assertions as to be actively disruptive to any greater discussion.
Ask HN: How do you identify good people to work with?
Warren Buffett says that he only works with people he likes, admires, and trusts. I read that he can determine within 5-10 minutes of a call whether he'd be interested in working with the other person or not.

In Ray Dalio's Principles, he says that when you find the right person for the right role that it's like an audible click. He also says that he hires on values > abilities > skills in that order. Similar to Buffett who hires for character, intelligence, and energy. Character always come first.

My question is- so how do you identify "good" people to work with? I don't have much experience or role models of good people that I have been able to learn from directly. I need to get better at picking the right people to work with. What are some of the ways you identify or have identified good people?
I can understand why this might be of interest to some people, but V2 is still a long way from something I think most people will want.

10 seconds of video, up to 30 if you keep poking the thing? Some commenters are acting like it's a gopro, it's not even close. How frequently are you doing something you want to record that exceeds 30 seconds?

Not to mention the round output, not a bad thing for a casual social media post, but what if you want literally anything other than that?

Oh, and of course your $150 purchase will only work through a proprietary app that adds another step to getting your pictures and media out.

Hard pass.
I have had a similar thought recently. The office I work at has a large e-recycling bin for old computers. I have recovered quite a few desktops, laptops, and monitors, as well as a bunch of tidbits like adapters and RAM.

A lot of the RAM, for instance, is DDR2 and usually a measly 1gb apiece. They take up the exact same amount of space as RAM with 4gb apiece or more. I don’t know entirely why I still have them. Now that I’m doing physical computing/IoT development, Im seeing how pointless it is to have a bunch of desktops/laptops when I can get much more done - conveniently I might add - with a teeny tiny RedBear microcontroller.

I think an inherent feature of technology is having to get used to the idea that things age and die much faster than other products. Whether that’s physical hardware or trained neural networks, there comes a point when we just have to let go.

Citizens care a lot about travel time (but not enough to live closer, move, or take another mode of transportation), cities and governments care about throughput (economic opportunity and growth). I think often they ignore each other.

I'm also curious how those traffic issues apply to subways. I feel like I've seen similar problems where subways exceed capacity. I wonder if the cost/benefit or travel time/capacity is better or worse?

The whole article is about using simcity as a (distorted) reflection of reality. (And that reality may be tending towards sim city's outcome).
