Sounds good. Better FFI is always good, and Java seems to be way behind .Net when it comes to utilising SIMD.
No problem - happy to help.
I don't know why anyone would downvote this; they should be, and have been.
I work with a fair amount of people from academia, a lot of them seem to have the view that things that have not been peer reviewed are not worth reading.

But ML already has conferences and journals where work is peer reviewed and published in an open access manner.

So it's not that academics see journals/conferences as value-less, but that they are already doing all this work for free, why do it for free for Springer who will then charge everyone?
I'd assume 99% of these are jokes.
A few clicks sounds like at least a few clicks - 1 too many.
I interviewed at PayPal in 2012, and one of the engineering managers there mentioned the concept of social mobile payments- imagine you pay for a beer at a bar, and it shows up in your feed. I was utterly unconvinced by the idea. It felt cargo cult, adding social for the sake of it. A few years later, Venmo goes big among millennials, and later on PayPal buys them. Go figure.
If people can post a pre-print to Arxiv then why is it a big deal if it also gets published in Nature Machine Intelligence? Sure a better formatted and edited version may be behind a paywall but anyone can find the original arxiv paper and get the important points.

edit: To make it clear, I'm talking about submitting to BOTH Arxiv, where it's freely available, AND a paywalled journal like Nature.

edit 2: I get that we don't want to waste, often government, money on mere distribution of research, but I also think researchers need a way to distinguish their work from the thousands of arxiv papers that get posted every year. Whether that's through a Nature publication or something else is immaterial.
This is currently used to sign ROA. A rogue actor can easily work around that by including the original AS in the AS path of the announce.
In this thread - "You can do X to make it private."

In my view, that is not addressing the main issue with Venmo. Socializing financial transactions shouldn't have taken off from back of the napkin stage. It is simply unbelievable on 2 fronts: 1) Such an app exists and is doing fine 2) People simply do not care about their privacy.

I am utterly speechless.

Who in the right mind opens up Venmo to just browse what kind of transactions are being made amongst their friends? What kind of social engagement is this? How did the creators of Venmo pitched this idea to investors? So many questions.
That quote pretty much sums it up. Under Obama democrats abandoned their stance on individual freedom and instead turned to extreme leftism. Conservatives as a response abandoned their fiscal and economic conservatism and instead turned to identity politics of old white people. American society is deeply divided at the moment and Indians and Chinese immigrants and the collateral damage.
More than 1 in 6 Americans live in NY or CA. That doesn't mean CA and NY residents are in every community.

The old model may be obsolete, or at least need tuning. What about offering a "vetting grade"? Anybody can submit (assuming minimum standards) and anyone can read, but you'd have to pay to have your research vetted, perhaps with different levels of vetting. Don't make it all-or-nothing.

I'm a young adult. I've been on the internet for most of my life and all of my adult life. When the GDPR started to be a hot topic, I decided to check what Facebook knows about me.

There are lots of things in there I didn't want known and remembered. Many embarrassing, cringy, inaccurate, unfortunately accurate, depressing, stupid things. Past interests, teenage angst, bullying, fedora edgelord material, unflattering photos, mean things I've said and had said to me, controversial political opinions, things I've come to disagree with, relationships and so on.

There exist vast public, semi-public, and buyable records of my life full of things I'd rather not even remember myself, let alone have corporations remember for me and highest bidders.

Original AirPlay (which I'm pretty sure, encompassed a bunch of "versions" over time) had a fixed 2 second lag and was designed around wired ethernet playing long form audio/video. AirPlay 2 seems like a well-needed update even if the user-facing feature list isn't impressive.
Ugh, I hated that opinion. I was rooting for you guys and the cable argument was BS. I have always wondered about the tech you guys have/had and if you could turn your experience into a antenna/DVR that is intended to fit in a Morphie sized case. Everyone loves streaming but getting a lot of the shows OTA instead of paying Hulu or live events seems like an interesting case. Quite possible you have issues getting the antenna that small but still usable, but anyway...
Which is exactly why random bullshit payments shouldn't be public, and why Venmo defaulting to it (or even having it be an option) makes no sense.
It's still insane to make that public by default.
Alan Kay said it: "Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible."

For example, something like Twitter fails massively here. It's easy to use as a novice, but there's no progression (I know that sounds like a concept from games, but it seems applicable). I want to be able to see who, of all the users I've seen, listed, followed, is active these days. I want to be able to draw on other people's list of follows to extract suggestions of who might be good to follow & is actively tweeting (not dumb automatic suggestions, please).

It would be so amazing to be able to "bin" Twitter users (across all of my lists, follows etc.) by how active they are. So the excessively chatty ones can be browsed when I have time, and the ones that post almost never—well, when they do, I see it.
The internet has seen an absolute explosion of innovation over the last 20 years, which has massively added value to our lives. Compare it to heavily regulated sectors like medical services, pharmaceuticals, education and banking/finance. You're totally ungrateful for what the 'invisible hand' has provided. You take all of the advances and services that emerged on the web over the last 20 years for granted.

In other words, your assumptions don't factor in the link between the myriad of web services now available, and the freedom people have had to provide services on the web.

The government has a constructive role to play in the market, in provisioning tools and information to empower people to maintain their privacy, which market players are not economically incentivized to provide in sufficient quantities.

That would take the form of public funding for development of anonymity technologies, public directories comparing services and their abidance to voluntary data protection standards, and possibly public service announcements educating people about what data they disclose while browsing non-anonymously, or browsing particular types of websites, and how that data can be shared and used by private data collectors.

What the government should not be doing is imposing Big Brother laws that violate the privacy rights of companies in relation to the data they store, which properly understood, belongs to them, regardless of who that information is pertaining to, and violate private property rights by regimenting how web service companies will operate.

Centrally planning the web economy in the manner of imposing regulations like the GDPR is so ridiculously misguided. It is going to destroy innovation, and particularly, business creation.

Nice, ugh, that is a brutally accurate and disgusting quote. It shows how the current government really feel.

It reminds me of when a minority family moves to a small, mostly white, rural town.

The people there all start saying, "oh, well you see, we're all good Christians here. you see, we dont want to change our traditions".

It's their euphemistic, misguided, indirect way of saying "we don't want non-whites here".
It's just HN's daily 2minutes clickbait.
The article discusses the methodology in-depth including the meat of the specific points you raise. The study was published in a peer-reviewed journal by professionals who understand the subject intimately and whose conclusions carry overwhelmingly more weight than your off-the-cuff analysis, one which misses the overarching point that based on available data, it is a statistical near-certainty that hundreds or thousands of people died as a direct result of the hurricane. Had you been a victim, I sincerely doubt you'd be so concerned about the distinction between being drowned right away or dying of a medical issue that would have been preventable with care that would have otherwise been accessible before the hurricane.
Sane defaults, rather.

It is annoying how stuff on Facebook is by default shared with "Public", how applications install malware/adware by default, any advertising-related opt-out.

Only positive thing I can say is "they're not the only ones". But that doesn't make it right (Whataboutism).

Sad truth is, the software developers or the companies hiring them get away with such immoral choices.
Large companies misuse "unassigned" space all the time. I have heard engineers at my work propose using the non public routed DOD /8 before. Not on my watch!
At the same time, the world moves on marginal changes, and many industries that depend on shipping are inherently low-margin anyway (think grocery stores). Business models that are barely viable now could be substantially viable with a ten percent reduction in transit cost.
I bet we’ll see research articles about how people use companies public data to pinpoint individuals in different ways. I’d think we all are going to be surprised what you can find from that data.
Hmm, I think most people use it to pay friends back for brunch or drinks. It's not like you're streaming all your credit card purchases. It's kinda like checking in on Foursquare with friends... it's a public way to expose your social graph a bit.

It may not be for you, but people love social media. To put it a different way: it's so successful because, despite there being lots of ways to pay back friends, none of the other ones let you subtly brag that you're out having fun.

I dont know why people even defend MZ, with arguments like, "he was young" -- he still is young. "People grow and mature" -- yup not seeing it. "People change" -- also dont see it. In fact, the MZ of today is just as creepy (if not more) than sketchy Mark 'Dumb Fucks" Zuckerberg.

Typically, the only defenders of MZ are FB employees. I guess they indoctrinate their employees to their Godhead well!
I did, because you followed with "I’m not really sure what to take from all this, other than if Nas is really concerned about computer science and how it relates to time, then dammit, we should be concerned, too." The theme of the song you're talking about is lukewarm neoludditism. Not vague concern for computer science.

And you're still doing it, infantilizing his music. He doesn't do "great shit," you could say he is a great lyricist, that Nastradamus is an underappreciated album (or, according to Nas, that it really is trash -- who's right?). But rap doesn't get a seat at the Adults' Table, it seems.

Jeri Ellsworth and the demise of CastAR [audio]
I think the important idea that is often overlooked these days is discoverability.

Your UI doesn't have to be simple, but the user needs to know where to start. That's the idea behind the original Windows 95 "Start" menu. Even though there is plenty of things on screen, the starting point is marked in the most obvious way possible.

Now the idea seems to be: hide everything but the starting point, which is certainly a good way to show where to start, but it doesn't help the user getting beyond that, if it is possible at all.

Interestingly, that learning curve is well studied in video games, and often well implemented. General UI seems to be focused on aesthetics more than anything else.
Ask HN: Introductory IoT development resources?
I'm interested in a few different IoT ideas and was looking for some basic resources for building things in that space. I have a physics PhD with a few years of DIY-style electronics experience in various labs and a good amount of scientific and web development programming experience.

Some of my current questions are:

1. How to connect an IoT device to a mobile device through when on the same wifi.
2. How to connect when on a mobile network.
3. How should I approach hardware prototyping? (currently my sensor i think I need is just a camera. but possibly using something like a raspberry pi would be a good idea since it allows some flexiblity?)

Any beginner/introductory material would be welcomed at this point, even if it doesn't directly address one of these questions.

Thanks!
I don't enforce pinning but I do enforce checking the TLS hostname. I assume that's good enough what with certificate transparency, 100% works against a passive attack anyway?

I looked into pinning but the big services warn against it as they could change their certs at anytime, which is fair enough.

They'd have to convince a large enough percentage of the internet to accept their routes. Automated DNS services like letsencrypt make sure to take measurements from many places around the world to prevent things like this right?
Autonomous vehicles aren’t public spaces. They’re privately owned capital. I’m not making a value judgement here, but I am saying that other people do.
I can't say this enough. And when anyone tries to tell (mostly white) America this there is always another interpretation.
The heart of my argument is mostly that integration in main languages should be pursued. F# can be mixed on assembly (project) level, but not on source level (like css in html or html in js/ts).

FBI Is Wrong: All Routers Need to Be Reset,  What to Do
You haven't captured every motive for vandalism, but I agree with you that it's probably mostly transient. Kind of like how the people who go crazy with drugs & prostitution in Amsterdam (well with pot legalization I probably no longer have to travel quite so far to fetch this example, but anyway...) are mostly visitors for whom such a thing is novel. Most Dutch natives are pretty blasé about having access to those things.

I notice the Car2Go (or e.g. Zipcar) next-user reporting system depends on their knowing the identity of each user at every point in time. Which is presumably also true if you've used an app to hail or summon an autonomous vehicle... Still I guess I was nostalgically imagining something like the relative anonymity of today's cash-fare bus services. (Though even those are loaded up with surveillance cameras.)
My girlfriend and I have had a blast using jqbx over the past few months. Really nice work!
I have been subscribed for a while because it seems like something I _would_ like, but I honestly still don't get it. It seems like a hobby driven by a deep reverence toward enterprise hardware and software, especially network-related, most of which is no longer in production. Is there more to it?
Sure you can, you just have to make the recursive call explicit:

https://clojurebridge.github.io/community-docs/docs/clojure/...

This has the nice side effect of preventing you from
writing a function that you think will be tail call optimized but really isn’t—the compiler will yell if your call to `recur` isn’t in tail position.

The code in the article doesn’t have the recursive call in tail position anyway, so it’s not like other languages would be able to optimize it away.
Academic journals don't result in any value creation for society. If "publishing in Nature" is no longer a credential for academics, then Nature can't charge universities big bucks... that money can be spent by institutions on other things (like funding GPU's to do more actual machine learning research)... so boycotting the journal is strictly a good thing.
Continuous Delivery: Building Trust in a Large-Scale Government Organization
What's going to be more interesting:

- Police departments won't get revenue from traffic violations anymore.

- Police won't have the source of suspicious, law-ignoring driving to find people who need to be found.

- Towing & crash repair shops will drastically drop in business (maintenance will probably increase, but not commensurate).

- Auto insurance won't be able to justify high premiums anymore.

People probably are encountering some level of philosophical questions in the art they're engaging with. If that's in Nas or elsewhere in rap culture / hip hop / whatevs, why shouldn't someone be talking about it or riffing off it?
“Not that I care,” she said. “It’s just interesting to see.”
Used to be a research scientist at a ~3k person Bay Area company. Early versions of a project typically existed outside of the mainline code branch at the company (we usually just tossed it into the company's private gitlab). We tried to keep things reasonably organized and conforming to the company's standards, but as paper deadlines approached the code usually devolved into a mess of technical debt (just like grad school!). After we knew we had some new algorithm or technique that worked, we typically went back and stripped away the cruft, cleaned up the code so it conformed with the company's coding standards, added required tests, pushed to the company's main branch, and began the really hard work: convincing people in the company that what we did was useful for their work to drive adoption.

Addressing the specific points:

> - researchers conduct experiments that may fail

Very true! Often many, many, many experiments...

> - they often produce PoC instead of final products

This is going to vary a lot depending on where you are working. We were responsible for developing, deploying, and for some time supporting whatever we developed.

> - it's tempting to produce tonnes of low quality code (since it just an experiment/PoC!)

Yep, especially in early stages.

> - often researchers are not software engineers so they don't really care about code quality / tests

This really depends on what stage in the lifecycle of a research project we were in. We were responsible for deploying the final code, so at the end of the day it had to be of the same quality as something someone with the title of software engineer would generate.
