I am not sure if the author did this (he certainly doesn't mention it), but a lot of what constituted Watson at the time of Jeopardy was published as a set of 17 papers called "This is Watson" in the IBM Journal Of Research and Development.

Other than that too, I think you can make a reasonable assessment of any NLP system at this level of abstraction by looking at what is cutting edge in NLP today (by following conference proceedings etc).

We hear all the time that money can't buy happiness, here in HN no less, and you are saying he has such a perfect life that he doesn't deserve to give any life advice? Who should we be listening to?

Not sure if you spend time to read at all, but what he said is essentially you can't be happy at home if you are miserable at work, and vice versa. Which makes sense to me. Too obvious to be honest.

Your argument doesn't make sense. The OP says he himself wants to live in a small Kansas town, but can't because it's so difficult to find remote work. I'm sure the majority of people agree with your statement, but not everybody.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I'd love to live in a small mountain town, but finding remote work (even as a software developer) is significantly more difficult than finding in-person work in a larger city.
The Multics simulator is finally running![1] Old Multics people talked about that for decades, and now it is available.

"The problem, in my eyes, is that youtube can ban you, and there is no alternative place to host your videos with the same level of exposure. Having a competitive market place would solve this problem, and give video hosting sites an incentive to treat creators fairly."

And the way to get that is to start using the alternative sites. If everyone is going to continue to use YouTube to host their videos, nothings going to change.
I'm reminded of research in Computer Science, that generally looks like this:
"In this paper we investigate the hypothesis: Is it possible to build something cool? First, we briefly summarize cool things that already exist, then we show how we were able to build something cool, we measure how cool it is (it's cooler than a bunch of competing things!), and finally conclude with some cool ideas that we or you might pursue the future."
Good. Those merchants are supporting these shady companies with their money.

If they get screwed, all the better.
It is interesting to consider why there is a preference to work physically together. The hive metaphor could shine some light here. Is telework effective/possible when there are workers and managers? In my experience managers resist telework.

What if we had a pervasive culture of self organization and direction?
Yeah -- my actual area of research/work is VR, hopefully for practical use cases, and it's hard to see anything in current VR tech that would help for remote working. For those who do remote teams, having something like Slack helps more, where casual channels for chatting can serve as the virtual water cooler.

I wonder if there's any potential in building VR-based telepresence tools specifically for those doing graphics/gamedev/VR work itself. When working on complex graphics-related projects, you still have to download and build someone else's code; nothing yet that's as easy as just going over to someone else's cubicle and looking at their build on their monitor. Maybe one day we'll have a distributed multi-user layer on top of the Unity Editor or its equivalent.
They provide the GPL sources and SDK to build the entire kernel or just custom modules.
3.10.x kernel, but still.
Or, just start hosting your stuff at the alternative platforms. Those other platforms aren't as big as YouTube because people don't use them.
Tubeless tires are actually an old idea (they predate the pneumatic tires). The reason they're not widespread is the ride can be extremely rough and not as efficient.

The other downside is that the additional shock gets delivered to the wheels themselves so while you don't have to replace your tubes or pump your tires up, you may have to fix your wheels more frequently.

I learned this because I thought they were pretty cool and wanted to get a low maintenance belt drive bicycle with tubeless tires, but ended up with a belt drive bicycle with pneumatic tires (Priority Continuum)
Given this, is there any advantage (as a Californian) to having a Delaware LLC?
'Key' here refers to the key in the mapping from external to internal userID. The whole point is that (as mentioned in a sibling comment) choosing an internal user ID uniformly at random is equivalent to a one-time pad; it's guaranteed non-decryptable, unless you invent a time machine...
Not to the lay person? Really? Do you have any evidence to back it up? Hint: HN is not full of lay persons.
Had IBM sales people present on Watson as a security solution recently. The stench of BS was so bad I nearly had to leave the room. It wouldn't bother me if they kept things generic, but they deliberately sprinkle the presentations with specific terms referencing hyped technology (deep learning, etc), with the clear objective of deceiving the audience into thinking they are using those technologies when they clearly aren't. It was unethical IMHO.
Growing weed may be easy, but it isn't that easy. Marijuana is a lot pickier about grow conditions than most people think (if you want a quality product at least. Crap weed is much easier to grow). It also takes several months from seed to being smoke/edible-making ready. Just the harvesting and curing process alone is a massive PITA.

There will always be a market for quality grown weed, just as much as you buy produce at the grocery store.
Not OP, but FPGAs are good for realtime signal processing, including initial processing needed to filter and downconvert high frequency signals to make them accessible to conventional CPUs.

They are also parallel processing-oriented by nature, so a traditional ultrasound implementation based on an array of sensors is a good fit for an FPGA-based front end.

People tend to use FPGAs for tasks that used to be offloaded to dedicated DSP chips. Besides their processing capabilities, one key reason is that their I/O capabilities can handle just about any data acquisition/interfacing problem. When you need to move a lot of data around in a hurry, there are few solutions better than an FPGA, and certainly no more flexible ones. For mass production, of course, both DSP chips and ASICs tend to be more economical.

Some of the tasks involved in ultrasound could potentially be handled by the PRU units on the BeagleBone Black platform. Not sure if that would work well for this application but could be worth considering.
That children are going without x where x is some roughly agreed on minimum standard of living is a problem.

Ok, but what about the opposite: What if you are, on purpose, constantly disseminating false information to fulfill a political agenda?
Right, and I suspect the trouble is this: normal people often get their saturated fat from things like hot dogs cooked over a fire. If that sort of thing is the source (rather than coconuts and hard-boiled eggs), then it comes with harmful substances. The more saturated fat you eat, the more polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons you eat.
This is a relatively solved problem. Abstractions.

50 years ago the IRS had to build a webserver, the servlet application code, it had to build in fault tolerance without SQS or Kafka.

If built today, the IRS' entire system would probably run on Rails with JRuby, deployed with Docker and K8s, and be 1000x more maintainable.
We have thousands of users in over 125 countries, and do substantial amounts of work to ensure that we're making our services available as widely as possible.

There's a distinction to be made between packing bits in a structure and using bitfields to access packed bits (as opposed to doing the shifts and masks manually).

From a compiler writer's perspective, bitfields are one of the worst things ever proposed for a standard. The nonportability of which way bits are laid out is the least of their problems. The logic of how you actually pack bits in the struct is surprisingly nontrivial. The underlying semantics of bitfields are so weird pretty much every time they could be used, they need to be special-cased--both in the standard sense and in the implementation sense. This means that using bitfields requires navigating a field of landmines of potential compiler (or, worse, spec) bugs.
The bandwidth in person is much higher and the latency is much lower. This is particularly important to managers, yea.
> Maybe flimflamming and petty rivalries are not the best justification for basic science?

Getting value for taxpayer money is not flimflamming, and it's not petty. There are a lot of good things to spend that money on, and if scientists want a piece of it they should provide a convincing justification.

They have 2gigabit pro fiber to the house available for around that price plus some installation fee. I ended up just sticking with the regular gigabit (over coax with modem) since I already had a fancy modem and it was only $99 (though I only get 35mbps up). The gigabit pro speed requires special fiber hardware plus an installation.
I think reasonable people can tell the difference between something they wouldn't personally do and something that should be illegal because it hurts other people. There's not really a slippery slope in GP's argument.

The point of the discussion, that we're keeping a bunch of people locked up for violating laws that we have recently decided were unjust, isn't relativistic at all. In a just society those people would be freed immediately.

No we don't. We need better bikepaths, separate from cars, covered from the elements, multi-lane, safe and secure, extensive routes.

Look, I know there are plenty of people here who will sing the praises of their chosen Nootropic stack, but quite honestly, the majority of the videos I have seen on the subject online tout over-the-counter supplements as miracle pills with limitless-esque possibilities.

9/10 pieces of advice I see on Nootropic use amount to dangerous and misinformed medical advice.

I can understand why YouTube would want to avoid looking complicit in all of this, especially with more than one popular Nootropic supplement sending users to the hospital in recent months.

This is definitely a bug (a 'value of out range' for prepend > 255 should have at least been emitted), but IOS devices crashing because of it is noone but Cisco's fault. And then, not having a 'filter out if AS path > 64' config line while being a transit provider is just careless.
In the home / office equipment SMB is disabled by default, and there are firewall rules blocking all incoming connections from WAN. Someone over at a MikroTik channel said "if you run SMB on your router and you've got it accessible to the world you deserve to be hacked"

I can't say i disagree.

The recent bug about being able to download the user database was less cool though. But it was patches very fast after it was discovered.

Then again the above bug is only exploitable if you allow incoming connections from WAN on the management port, which isn't good practice (but i and many other people do it anyways because it's simple).

> When taking science classes in school, I never understood why a hypothesis had to take a side. It could not be a question, like "hypothesis: does hot water freeze faster than cold water?",

Because a hypothesis is a falsifiable answer, not a question.

Setting up an explanation for falsification is exactly why. But falsification isn't failure of the experiment, only the hypothesis.

You know, I wonder why we can't solve this problem more creatively. And by creatively, I mean with some common sense.

We have no shortage of problems here. Some of these problems include crumbling infrastructure and a lack of affordable housing.

It's often suggested in Hacker News that 1. college education is too expensive and 2. college education isn't worth it. But we also forget that college education isn't just for the individual, but for society's benefit.

-Bill Clinton- JFK introduced the peace corps. Why don't we have a round two of that? In exchange for working in the corp, you can get a government-funded college education, in a state school if you do okay on some tests, and with an additional stipend to get into whatever you get into if you do better. We could let college admissions do some part of that lifting.

I don't know. Is this too obvious? Instead of people fighting pointless wars overseas, we can instead have them (re-)build their own country, literally. In California alone we supposedly have 130bn in infrastructure updates.

Adobe's secret sauce is largely implemented in the microtype package in LaTeX world (character protrusion for optical margin alignment and font expansion for more even interword spacing and less hyphenation). Also the technology didn't originate at Adobe; Adobe purchased the technology from URW who developed the hz-program that was the real pioneer for those micro-typographic adjustments.

This is solved by making friends with all your neighbors and your kids' friends' parents-- Then, when they do something bad, you ban only their kids from your yard (e.g. they can't play with their friends), and tell the neighborhood parents that someone is threatening the free communal play area
Sure, but in terms of consistency they are 2 sides of the same coin.
I'm not sure what level of schooling you're talking about, but I think there's two reasons to take a side. First, I think in early school it prepares you to think in a way that makes sense with null/alternative hypotheses and all of those z and t stats hypothesis tests. The second reason is to have you think about what you expect to happen. If you're doing an experiment, you likely have some information to come up with what you think will happen, and what the explanation for that is. If you get a result that goes against what your reasoning was beforehand, then you have a misconception and have to adjust what you think you know. If you don't take a side, then you could potentially say that you believed that would happen all along, even if it doesn't make sense with how you understand things. Taking a side makes you confront your confusion when it doesn't work out as you thought.
How is that level of freedom different from anarchy?

Ask HN: How to demonstrate to my UHNWI boss my full potential?
I work very closely with my boss, who works very closely with his boss (who is rarely physically present in the office) and who is worth several billion USD. My office is a satellite office of a major corporation and only has ~10 regular employees. One of them myself, and the other, my boss who is a leading executive in the company.

Despite this I feel like my job duties are fairly clerical, and I spend most of my time cleaning up docs, summarizing, light research, etc. for my boss. I am happy to do it, and he seems pleased with my performance, but I honestly don't feel like I am using the full capacity of my mind or potential.

I also though do not necessarily like the fixed work day schedule, and would like some more flexibility.

I thought of a possible solution: demonstrate some skill of value to the UHNWI (such as investing, scouting, etc.) that I can do remotely, and set my own schedule.

What is something I can teach myself and how do I prove myself?

For those searching, this is not the conventional use of "tubeless" when it comes to tires - this term refers to pneumatic tires which do not use an inner tube.
