Certain parts of Detroit have seen rents double or triple in the last 3 years or so. I am hesitant to say that the city as a whole is “back” but downtown and other parts are definitely worlds more viable now than they were even just a few short years ago. There are fair numbers of (mostly white) people moving into the city to capitalize on this. Police/911 response times are way down and the halo of Gilbert/Quicken businesses have certainly made downtown a lot more livable (eg Rocket Fiber lighting a bunch of condos and apartments downtown).

I swore for years I would never go back to my hometown, and I just bought a (still cheap, thankfully) condo there (although not as my primary residence). It’s much better than it ever has been in my lifetime (I’m 35).
Not sure what you are using, but speech recognition is amazing on my android device and has been for years. I rarely ever type anything into my phone anymore. It's a usability gamechanger.
I think of luck in similar terms to hacking. Whereas an insecure system can have a large attack surface area, I think there are things you can do in life to increase your "luck surface area" - working hard, being intelligent (not always within your control), being persistent, paying it forward, not being a douche etc etc.
I work on Amelia at IPSoft, things seem to be going well.

Customer Service is a huge, overlooked industry mostly based around classifying requests and then performing a rote action, which is a great use case for AI.
I don't know about heartstone. But for itb, there's not a lot of information to show at the same time and few system that interact with each other. I think the game design was constrained by the goal of having the simplest possible UI. So, even if ITB is not a 'casual game', it's not very complex and each game is short.

This is one of many reasons why permaculturalists dig swales on contour. You can catch water, erosion, and pollutants uphill, plan a garden just beyond, and your garden benefits from the water catchment soaking the soil without much if any detriment from the pollutants.
For one, everything here appears to be free and open source. Prince is pretty costly to run as a small endeavor and last I knew their pricing model wasn't very kind to horizontal scaling.
The result of " sed 's/GDPR/tax law/g' " applied to the comments says a lot about the filter bubble we're in.
Amazon's system for finding related products is eerily accurate. The more you buy, the better it gets at anticipating what you want to buy.

... but the larger wins they've had are behind the scenes, in the predictive modeling that helps them get product into warehouses in front of demand spikes (and into geographically-relevant warehouses to satisfy the spikes).
Discord is just an integration we offer. We also have a web wallet that lets you send tokens to anyone by email or username.
Sorry for a moot comment but.

This is so well said that I agree 100%, and couldn't say it any better.
>When you friend or unfriend someone on FB you are somewhat implying who you give access to your feed.

It may feel that way, but it is an unrealistic expectation. Something shared with hundreds of people is effectively public information. To believe otherwise is a fantasy.

In “the real world”, we intuitively understand this: a secret told to two dozen people is a secret no more. But the illusion of control on social media sites seems to convince people otherwise online.
It's quite a long video, I can not claim to have seen it all, but the allegations should come up within the first 36 minutes and after the initial introduction by the third party.

When I hear AI I usually imagine deep learning, but many companies using the term don't specify.
I see your hoster has plans for a dataprocessing agreement, I'd look into that: https://www.manitu.de/unternehmen/eu-datenschutz-grundverord... (should be easy enough, and answers on what basis they store your logs)

If your hoster allows you to change whats in the log files you could look into that too (e.g. don't log full IPs, or delete them after 2 weeks and only keep unpersonalized access logs longer: right now it's not entirely clear from the purposes you list why you need to keep IPs at all).

Not sure if you're supposed to have a German version too, despite your site being in English. (unrelated to GDPR)
I'm sorry I have to do it; Detroit does not have U of Mich. U of Mich is 45 minutes west in Ann Arbor. Some U of M grads go over to Detroit, but it's not like U of M students live in Detroit. They are very separate.

Detroit is mostly reviving because Ann Arbor, where U of M is, is way too expensive. The Ferndale area of Detroit is becoming what Ann Arbor was when I grew up in the 80s; all about its local community and full of young people trying to do new stuff.

A big reason is that Ferndale was very cheap to live in, and while it's come up a lot it's still a lot cheaper than Ann Arbor (and a lot of other parts of Michigan.)
Yeah, I guess you’re right, too :-) It’s definitely true for ML. However, I was mainly thinking about the overhyped “AI can do anything” sort of nonsense that is mostly spread by people who don’t have any clue about CS
No, I literally meant page 6. Section 1.1. That was a direct quote. It's the first page of text that isn't a table of contents. It's one thing to wildly misrepresent the technology as having a giant hole, it's quite another to react to basic evidence of the fact with mawkish drama about "page 135." You didn't even make it through the introduction.
The shadow stack is protected from tamper through the page table protections such that regular store instructions cannot modify the contents of the shadow stack. To provide this protection the page table protections are extended to support an additional attribute for pages to mark them as “Shadow Stack” pages. When shadow stacks are enabled, control transfer instructions/flows like near call, far call, call to interrupt/exception handlers, etc. are allowed to store return addresses to the shadow stack. However stores from instructions like MOV, XSAVE, etc. will not be allowed. Likewise control transfer instructions like near ret, far ret, iret, etc. when they attempt to read from the shadow stack the access will fault if the underlying page is not marked as a “Shadow Stack” page. This paging protection detects and prevents conditions that cause an overflow or underflow of the shadow stack or any malicious attempts to redirect the processor to consume data from addresses that are not shadow stack addresses.
If you read that and still posted "An attacker that can write (using a regular write-what-where primitive) could modify the shadow stack" just own up to misrepresenting the technology through your poor understanding. Maybe hold off on suggesting improvements until you're better informed.

Okay, so can you now describe your typechecking proposal in light of the ENDBRANCH tag and 0x3E prefix? An indirect branch emitted as a result of a switch() would be tagged with 0x3E and be unavailable to use as a gadget to call system(). Again, you're not impressing me with a full grasp of what you're trying to improve. Just asserting that some vaguely unspecified typechecking would be better than CET and providing example after example that CET actually handles.
How JavaScript works
[Hi from Argentina!]

I had the reverse problem with my daughter. She has some formal education but we also got for her many movies with the sound and subtitle both in English and Spanish.

My recommendation for you is to see the movie a few times:

1) In Spanish with the subtitles in English: So you can cheat when you don't understand what is happening

2) In Spanish with the subtitles in Spanish: It's easier to understand the written form.

3) In Spanish without subtitles.

Perhaps try seen a few movies in mode 1 and 2, and when it's too easy switch to mode 2 and 3, or just mode 3.

Don't expect word by word translations/subtitles. They help but they are not literal.

Later, it would be good to find some movies where the original sound is in Spanish (again, pick a DVD with the sound and subtitles in both languages). Be aware that each country has a different accent, so changing the country the movie is from will make a big difference that may be interesting.

[Also, try to get some formal knowledge about grammar and orthography from other sources.]
Ask HN: Should more countries block Facebook and Google?
In light of the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal, it is now obvious that Facebook and Google have an outsized influence on billions of people's thoughts.

This can manifest itself in changing the outcome of elections, attitudes towards religion, social issues, privacy, war, etc.

From a national security standpoint, it seems reasonable for most countries to ban these services. In China, this move was critical for their government. Thoughts?

Feature creep already? You have already launched. Add Stripe and go!

While you're adding features, can you offer "customer support?" I don't need to actually answer the thing. I just need for it to loop in some elevator music with an occasional robot voice which says "please hold" at random intervals.

ETA: I think the site is fine. People will still be interested in using this even if it's meant to be a joke. I bet some people will even be disappointed that the name "crapcoin" is already being used.

I think the thing with this article is not "Is it true?" bit "Is it helpful?" i.e. if you believed your situation in life was down to luck or your own efforts, which would be likely to make you feel happier or be more successful?

Some research has been done on this in terms of whether people have an internal or external locus of control - i.e. do they have control over their life, or is it random chance? There is an article that explains the differences here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/moments-matter/20170...
> Private and charter schooling is doing a great job of fixing that, giving parents a choice

Free private schools?

If not they are giving parents that can afford it a choice. Just like wealthy expats tend to place their kids in good private schools in poor places because they can afford it.

As long as education isn't good for everybody it's just another way to stack the deck.
Somehow having boring HN stories/comments to read, or mind-numbing twitch streams to stare at on my phone in bed exhausts my mind way faster than staring at the ceiling and churning.
I’m not skeptical of Detroit’s revival. I’m skeptical of an article that makes the claim Detroit is reviving with pictures and quotes, without citing to facts and statistics.
Indeed Ada has different memory management model, though equally safe.
Yep, matches my experience. We invited IBM to our company to pitch Watson, there was very little that was impressive about it. "Watson" is mostly just a coding services integration team, who will assign a team to add some basic NLP to your web services. Someone with a free weekend and a book on TensorFlow or NLTK can replicate most of what the IBM sales engineers pitch for Watson.
I've never understood why this topic is being studied primarily through archaeology. There are plenty of humans alive today that live far from much artificial light and could tell you exactly what their life is like right now, what they did last night. Shouldn't have to be so hard / so mysterious
But do you seriously believe that the most successful founders' comments are represented in news.yc?

HN is about denominators. We all want to get rich. Some of us are willing to work, some of us are willing to hustle, etc.

The ideals of YC don't correspond to Internet commenters. Hell, half of the comments here probably don't even correspond to the true intent of the author's opinion.

Disclaimer: I'm just some moron on the Internet. No need to wax philosophical over Internet comments.
> - Are the life decisions that I make correlated with my success? That one is easier to work out: Even if the "decisions" turn out to be "pseudo-random" due to the properties of the underlying universe, they could still be correlated with success, therefore it's useful to devote resources into deliberately moving closer to that "success" (even if there are external/random factors) at play

But "devoting resources to deliberately moving closer to that 'success'" is just as much not-determined-by-you as everything else, whether it's fully deterministic in a classical physics sense, or partly deterministic, and part randomly quantum-influenced. The notion that you can influence yourself is true... your thoughts a second ago influence your thoughts now. So, through introspection, you can see that you're influencing yourself. But it's a mirage, because you're not at the root of the chain of causation going back to the first thought you had, so you don't control the thought you had a second ago, and you don't control any external factors (senses) that influenced you between your last thought and your current thought, so you don't control your thought now.

The reason you devote resources to moving closer to success isn't that you're "deciding" (from no prior state) to do that. Rather, your psychology is already such that you want to actively improve yourself, you don't have other psychological issues that would sabotage that desire, and you see a path to improve yourself. What better to do, then, than to move yourself along that path toward future success?

Dan Klein shared in a graduate NLP class at Berkeley a few years back a AAAI article on Watson back in 2010 (when it actually was a distinct technology stack and not just marketing nonsense). At that time IBM was focused on question answering in Jeopardy. It was pretty clearly incremental rather than novel— Dan used the example to show that 1) ensemble techniques can be effective if done properly and 2) hyper parameters matter, a lot 3) there's human intelligence and then there's Ken Jennings intelligence: looking at precision and percent answered, he's in his own separate league. It made me think a lot about individual differences in terms of declarative knowledge.

At the minimum, the verbosity problem. We can argue that any language is less verbose and more concise than Java.

Go is inherently not a OO language and has some excellent functional constructs which makes it easy to approach and solve certain set of problems whereas in Java you are forced to do the OO way even if the problem at hand does not require that way of solving stuffs.

Finally, Go compiles to machine code and I guess it should be way faster than Java.

Amazon's system for finding related products fucking sucks. After I buy an X, I see ads for more X for months, which is completely useless. Sometimes I'll see ads for the exact thing I bought... what?!

Ask HN: What's the best/fastest image processing library?
No APIs, just libraries, what is the fastest image processing library you've worked with that is also feature rich?

I've looked at sharp in node js and it's wonderfully fast however it doesn't seem to allow you to perform some operations such as adjusting the brightness of an image or contrast things that jimp does but much faster than it.

Also looking for something that can handle red eye removal in nodejs.

I'm just sad this doesn't include a random shitcoin name generator
However, if a robot from scifi were to walk out of the lab, like Data or Ava from Ex Machina, or we had access to HAL or Samantha from Her, we wouldn't just give it a specific technical name. We would consider those to be genuine AIs, in that they exhibit human-level cognitive abilities in the generalized sense.

It's true that in Her, Samantha was just an OS at the start, kind of like how the holographic doctor was just a hologram at the beginning of Voyager, but as both stories progress, it becomes clear they are more than that. By the end of Her, Samntha and the other OSes have clearly surpassed human intelligence.

Those are fictional examples, but they illustrate what we would consider to be genuine artificial intelligence and not just NLP or ML. The reason people always downplay current AI is because it's always limited and narrow, and not on the level of human general intelligence, like fictional AIs are.
> The thing that Ada and its peers lack that Rust has already tackled is finding a strong foothold in OSS.

Which is irrelevant to the claim that no previous language provided safe
environment for systems programming.
Dear engineers, merit is useless when you're trying to sell something. Authority is king, and people remember emotion and hyperbole. Marketing and sales is almost always about representing authority regardless of merit. The only thing that matters after a Watson sale is if Watson can help solve the problems the customers have.
Question: how can the author know what Watson really is doing unless the author worked on Watson?

If you're going to try and explain the above to me, don't do it by explaining what Watson "really" is doing (unless you worked on Watson yourself). Explain exactly how you can tell the difference from the outside.

As far as I can tell all the author did was point out that Watson made a mistake (saying that Dylan's songs is about love fading) and this is not enough, since humans make mistakes too.
Exploring ARCore: Digging Fundamentals of AR
If the underlying data is normally distributed, then there's no difference between median and mean for a sufficiently large sample size. Which is why mu can be median or mean when calculating the probability density function.

It's safe to say salaries at FB, Apple, and Alphabet are normally distributed. Thus, reporting average or median doesn't matter.
You sure? You literally said, "sounds like far from a revival," and cited population to make your point.
Nor in the Python Packaging Authority documentation!
> Self driving cars? Which are not yet in production

Yes they are. What do you mean, not in production? Maybe there aren't millions of fully autonomous cars on the road today, but there will be soon. They sure are in production. Companies like Tesla are making production hardware self-driving cars right now - full autonomy coming soon, of course.

> Speech recognition? Which still seems rather bad to me.

Speech recognition is 100% amazing. The phones never ever hear me wrong any more, not ever, not once. The main problem I have with it is interpretation, which can be shocking, shocking bad. (Ask Google for a joke, it'll tell you one and then prompt to you ask "one more". As soon as you do, it'll say "one more what? I don't understand", which is pretty funny.)

> Is there some big application if ML that I’m missing that is a clear win?

Well yeah. I would say millions. ML has been embedded into the world now and makes nearly every daily interaction with technology better than it was before.
Am I extreme in feeling someone should go to jail for that? It was bad enough when they were originally advertising it, but now that they're defending it even after people died...ugh.

Heh. Of course that’s a space with a pretty constrained and well defined set of rules. Until they aren’t of course. Which is why we still have accountants.
> It is deterministic and zero-overhead

I wouldn't say zero-overhead. I would say O(1) overhead in the best case, and equivalent to C-style manual memory management in the typical (which again isn't zero-overhead and isn't even necessarily always O(1) overhead with heavy allocation and deallocation).

But, yes, it isn't GC'd with the attendant challenges GC poses (or benefits it brings).
That's an interesting perspective!
Before doing this, be sure to read your home state's requirements for registering out-of-state LLCs. You might still be required to file annual paperwork and fees in your home state, thus possibly counteracting any convenience you thought you were getting by registering in Delaware.

Or consult with an accountant, many of whom offer free first-time consultations.
I totally agree with you. Reading about some of these people made me realize that I never wanted to be like them. Every time I read about someone who I thought was a business hero: Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos- I was terrified by what I found.

I would never be able to or want to do any of the things some of those people have done to be able to achieve their goals.

The only rationalization I have for their behavior is that they have a higher mission and they won't let anything or anyone get in the way.
It is probably fair to say that initially SpaceX was "forced" to perform hover slams due to thrust/weight ratios, but they seem to have embraced that option and turned it into a strength. For example, some of their landings now use three engines instead of one, getting slightly better fuel efficiency and "slamming" even more dramatically. If they were given the option today to do a slow landing like New Shepherd, I don't think they would take it.
It will be interesting to see whether Blue goes to a faster landing profile when they start making orbital rockets that are actually performance sensitive.

Prince is a 3800$ software. Prince seems to encourage XML/HTML/CSS for writing documents, and I didn't like this. With ReLaXed I am trying to show that Pug/SCSS makes document writing much more natural.

Where Prince wins is in its support for CSS @page extensions (having pages with different margins etc.), it looks much more adapted to professional publishing. There are certainly many more advantages related to typography but I don't know them.
