Can you give an example of math that would be exact with 32-bit integers, but is inexact in JavaScript? Floating-point math on values that happen to be integers is exact, if an exact answer exists and fits within the mantissa.

In my experience on the hiring side of the equation, recruiters often _demand_ a reason why an applicant was rejected. I'd prefer to diplomatically say they were a poor culture fit rather than explain that they were conceited, had poor english skills, or seemed high maintenance.
Why throw work away trying to reform serial killers? They clearly want to kill people.
Apple's never owned an entire segment, as it did smartphones.

And, actually, it does have a tiered presence: iPad, iPhone, iPod, Shuffle. I'm not sure how many of those remain extant.

Whoa, I didn’t realize structural subtyping had landed already. Thanks for sharing!
Yes. I have made it very clear that it is my opinion right up in the first comment.
I've seen it both ways, I was on a hiring committee that interviewed a candidate who was techinically a great hire, but he had a bad personality and kept correcting one of the other interviewers. We didnt hire him because of a culture fit.

I was on another committee one time where the candidate was muslim and had to pray during the four hour onsite technical interview. My boss said we couldn't hire him because he wouldn't be a good culture fit.

One of those teams I stayed on for 2 good years. The other I wish I had quit earlier.
I hope they do release the source code under a permissive license... If not, this is a classic example of something valuable that will be completely lost to time. A nice sandcastle built below the high tide mark, if you will.

Are you thinking of Privoxy? I have good memories of using it - it was perhaps the second open source program I ever used after Firefox and really got me into coding in general because of how configurable it was.
How many total employees did Ford have, total? How many of Tesla's total employees are in line work/production? How difficult is the relative assembly of a Model T vs a Model 3 (ie, how many parts, welds, fasteners, etc)?

I am pretty sure there are amazing Defence people who are intelligent, competent and smart. My point is that these people could have been much better doing something else in the real world. For a developed country like USA soldiers is mostly a very low productivity job often a drain on tax payer. Can US Military reduce its manpower by 10% and still defend its country ? I believe the answer is Yes. How about 20% ? How about 50% ?

The point is that the guy who is wasting his life in Iraq as a Captain could have become and engineer and lead a team. Each time a bodybag returns from Iraq I see a life wasted.
Theoretically, the wide availably of user-reviews on sites like Amazon and GoodReads, should allow unknown writers to gain visibility and reach the full market of readers who would enjoy that book. The fact that JK Rowling has failed in her anonymous writings, points towards the great opportunity that still exists for platforms/apps that can surface great books from unknown authors.

On a tangential note, it would be amazing if the guild/union of authors collectively agreed that all books will be published anonymously for the first year, with the author's name only revealed after the first year anniversary. This would allow newer authors to step out from the shadow of the established ones. I doubt this will ever happen of course, but I think we would see so much more dynamism in the industry if it ever did.
The market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent. When the short squeeze occurs, it will incur pain.

Personally, I don’t think their valuation is irrational. They’re not a car company, they’re an energy storage company, the market for which is enormous.

But most impressive is able to offer Wavenet at a competitive cost to the old technique for TTS used by everyone else.

16k through a NN in real time is just hard to believe possible. Nvidia has their work cut out for them.

I've heard that after the magic number of 10k subscribers, you have an open invite to the YouTube space in LA/NYC and can use their substantial production equipment and be mentored.

I imagine the long tail for YouTube starts around 1000 subscribers.
Classic example from Google: spending $106 million to release free video codecs in 2009. Video codecs are a complement of YouTube, and MP4 licensing fees were apparently enough of a barrier to justify this purchase.

https://searchengineland.com/google-buys-video-infrastructur...

With 9 years of hindsight, how did it turn out? I'm honestly not sure, as I haven't followed the state of video codecs. It seems like a lot of video is viewed on Apple devices, which only have hardware support for MP4?
No. Not even with that degree of knowledge could one effectively engineer towards a goal. Or, rather, one could engineer towards a goal but only by either accepting or ignoring profound weaknesses and drawbacks. Look at something like Golden Retrievers, for example. They were effectively developed into a distinct breed... and suffer tremendous health complications from it. It's not a matter of the breeders slipping up. It's a matter of genes and genetic activity being complex enough that all 'pure' traits are paired with 'pure' flaws. You cannot acquire one without the other.

This leaves aside the more important question raised by the scope of the Dune universe, which is defining what 'optimal' would even mean in such a world. Traits are only optimal or sub-optimal relative to an environment. Being smart and not able to move heavy objects would doom a medieval man, but being stupid but strong would hamper a modern man. That's a facile example and you'd be more likely talking about weakness to certain pathogens, dependence upon particular physical environmental needs (oxygen level, caloric availability, body temperature control efficiency, etc) though, really. If you're going to be planet-hopping and galavanting across the universe, what is optimal in one place can kill you in another and vice versa. The myth that there is a 'strongest' state is just that, a myth.

In genetics, diversity always wins. Flexibility and complexity always wins. Being mediocre at everything is a far greater survival trait than being a master at one is if it means you are a total failure on another count. Living things can only fail once.

Surprised to see this here. Toone has been working on a production model for ~4 years now — hopefully it will arrive soon, as the customs are usually made of fine recovered woods, aluminum and unobtanium.

Although a Stratocaster (of any brand) can play perfectly—and every guitarist should own a strat—I'm very curious about drastic innovations. A guitar being a guitar, to make the smallest incremental progress in playability and tone, beyond what was achieved by the '90s, drastic things have to be done.

It seems to me that Toone breaks the cost/benefit threshold. However, I'm interested :-)

I don't get what education has to do with it.

HN is a forum full of hyper-educated users, but it still greys out downvoted comments by default. I don't think the reason for that is because it makes it slightly more convenient to read comments. I think the reason is because it lowers the probability that hyper-educated users get irritated and end up expending energy responding to low-effort comments.
They cover the fake scandals too.
All Americans on both sides should be outraged at Russia. Their goal is to further divide us via social media and thus news which they have been extremely successful at.

All gone in the past year. That's a notable amount of turnover. Some of them left a lot of options on the table when they chose to depart.

It's odd, and probably what triggered an entire article about something as normally mundane as a leave of absence.
Great links! I agree with the general truth of the phenomenon described & your references do a much better job demonstrating this.
No, even some of the "quote" smartest people I know fall for it. It's a seperate part of the brain. That's why I always try facts > emotion politically.
Right. It mostly wasn't a problem so long as you remembered to charge them before exams, etc. In college, I'd still bring a slide rule to final exams as backup just in case something happened although I never had a problem.

I started college just as scientific calculators were appearing on the scene. I had a TO for a couple of years because the HPs were still so expensive but I was able to pickup an HP-55 after a bit for a relatively affordable price (still probably talking about high 3 digits in today's dollars). That's what I used until I bought an HP-41CV when I went back to school and needed a more programmable calculator.

A simple Object.keys(str|obj|etc...) call on your iterating object makes the other functions work on those data types too.

Lodash may be fast, but recently I've been avoiding the basic "lodash function with native js equivalent" for one particular reason: stepping into js native functions when debugging (node inspect) is a breeze, and a complete nightmare when using lodash.
I think so. I work in the government sector, and the culture fit is never more abused than here. Everything is highly political and no matter the office, political ideology, race, gender, etc. if you don’t fit the political culture, you’re out.

Upping your credit
Hi, my wife and I got served by May 5th, 2017 and were at a complete loss of where to go from there. We were in Oklahoma and the creditor is Capital One Bank going through Machol & Johannes for a total of $8,175. My wife and I couldn’t afford to pay all of that or we would have. It shows the date issued on the summons as March 17th so why am I just now getting it on May 1st? I asked. I don’t want to type out some long sad story, we just have a daughter that will be two on the 31st of May 2017, so we had been focused on making sure she had everything needed and haven’t been able to pay. In my frustrated condition I heard two people discussing in a mall about how a hacker known as HACKWEST assisted them in fixing there credit score, eliminating their credit profile in court, I then walked to them and told them my own story, they accepted in giving me the contacts of HACKWEST for free, I immediately contacted HACKWEST and got a swift response, I shared my predicaments with him and he asked of some information which I gave out and made some financial commitment, after 7days I got a good tradeline and was able to get a better apartment, had excess to the extent I was able to payoff my loans and at sametime celebrate my child’s birthday. You can contact HACKWEST via Email: HACKWEST@WRITEME.COM cell: +1 424 307 2638. Thank me later.

> Reminds me of the Tor project calling themselves a "human rights project"

It fundamentally is a human rights project.
>This is false. Many benefited, true, but not all.

There are indirect benefits and direct benefits to an unjust system - implicit as well as explicit power that comes from membership in a privileged class. Having legal rights and protections that other classes don't enjoy is a benefit. Being allowed to read, having autonomy over your own children, being able to walk freely, being allowed to maintain a connection to one's ancestors, religion and emigrant homeland... these are all benefits granted to white people as a group during slavery.

> I don't see why people should be made responsible for the actions of others that under some definition are from their same "group", even if they benefited from them.

Well... I did concede that they shouldn't, and weren't. But if one group of people are considered property, and another group of people are legally capable of owning the first, then the latter group benefits from that system if only because they aren't the former.

It just happens that, at that time and place, the necessary selector for privilege was "whiteness." In another time, it might have been religion, or ethnicity or culture or following the wrong King. There were plenty of societies that practiced slavery that discriminated along many lines.

You introduced a strawman. If self-sorting has introduced dramatically greater geographic segregation since 1988, the onus is on you to show it before claiming that.

In practice, school district gerrymandering has effectively recreated "separate but equal". There is research (cited in the article linked below) that school districts are doing this.

The Case for Chiplets
I last used Asciinema when presenting my thesis. It certainly gave the presentation a nice vibe, but I still had to fire up a real terminal window when answering questions.
I can't speak to the relative complexity of the two machines either (obviously a Tesla is vastly more technologically complex but that doesn't mean it's necessarily more difficult to assemble: assembling computers today is extremely easy compared to 30 years ago) but I can however point to:

* Tesla produced ~250k vehicles (cumulative as of Q2 2017) prior to the first production Model 3, so it's not appropriate to compare them to a brand new company: They know how to build cars by the time Model 3 rolled around. This is their 4th vehicle model.

* Tesla has stated many times how the Model 3 is a far simpler and trimmed down vehicle compared to the S or X: production should be easier.

* Tesla had a goal of 2,500/wk by December 31st (they managed 793 the last week by shutting down S&X production) and a total of 2,425 for that entire quarter.

* Tesla had a goal of 5,000/wk and a revised goal of 2,500/wk by March 31st but only managed to hit 2,020 by that point, again which required shutting down the S&X lines.

* The new goalpost is 5,000/wk by June 30th.

* Elon said that "excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake" and that "Humans are underrated". [1]

If Musk himself is suggesting that the Model 3 delays would have not occurred due to human assembly instead, I think it's quite fair to compare against Ford's Model T assembly line a century ago. Not to mention a few advancements in technology since then which should give Tesla the upper hand.

Agreed. I know that in some small use cases these differences are crucial, but in 95% of situations arguing these differences just feels like a waste of time.

NeTV2 Project: Bunny Huang's Open Video Dev Board
I’m in a fast-growing small startup. In my experience, there’s no such thing as “culture fit” in a 10-person company, because every single hire is going to change that culture.

To me, it doesn’t matter if the candidate “fits in” with today’s culture, it only matters if I will still want to work at the company after the new person is part of its culture.

If only you could actually predict this from interviews!

As is, all you can do is try to put the candidate in job-like scenarios and evaluate specific “culture” attributes like “is open to criticism” or “listens to collaborators” or “codes with a concern for future readers” or “has a positive attitude toward code reviews”. It’s still much easier to disqualify than to endorse on those criteria. Hiring is hard.
And arguments like that are exactly what get cited to perpetuate the situation by people who secretly don't want a solution.
Good journalists are like sharks and they're getting whiffs of Theranos or Enron and are rightly digging into the company.
I lost respect for WSJ because of their continuous anti-Tesla editorials. I’m not at all a Tesla fanboy, but the WSJ commentary on subsidies are just trashy attacks that are devoid of any logic or context, given that the help that other industries and automakers have received.

I love type checking and have a huge disdain for dynamic languages.

But I also recognize that I work on codebases that live a long time and change and get refactored A LOT. I can't imagine statistical researcher being effective writing effective if he was forced to write his one-off experiments in something like C#, although it's almost the best language for me and my tasks.
Verizon startup Visible launches $40 unlimited plan
Google and everyone supporting Kubernetes are trying to prevent AWS from becoming the de facto cloud "system call API", i.e. for provisioning computing resources like CPU/memory/storage/network, and for higher level services like monitoring, access control, backup, dev tools, etc.

They want to make it easier to move off of the market leader, AWS. If a customer's programs are written to AWS APIs, it becomes incredibly expensive to even try a new cloud provider.

So basically every other cloud provider besides AWS wants standard interfaces. They can all rent more computing resources if it's easier for customers to move off of AWS. That's why Microsoft supports Kubernetes. And that's why everyone got on board with Docker too -- it's (supposedly) a standard application format, or at least a cloud-vendor-neutral one.

It's exactly analogous to Windows vs. Unix. Windows locked users into its proprietary APIs, with exactly one implementation, and made tremendous profits. With POSIX, you can port applications from Solaris to IBM Unix to Linux, etc.

Kubernetes was called "POSIX for the cloud" as far as I remember.

It's related to the "commoditize your complements" model, but I don't think that's exactly the right way to describe it. Maybe it's more like "commoditizing your competitor's product", to erode their profits.

In theory I don't see a problem with AWS owning 95% of the cloud market share and Google still making billions of dollars on ads (with free complements like search, apps, Android, and the browser).

I think AWS is more threatening to Microsoft, because Microsoft sells enterprise products like SQL Server and so forth. Cloud services are the complement to a lot of enterprise products that MS sells.

Google isn't nearly as big an enterprise business as Microsoft is, and the customers for AWS/Cloud are typically enterprises and not "consumers".
