Good distinction, I agree. This leads me to this: If, for example a song, is not written down anywhere, but some brains contain it, this means there some people who could reproduce this song by singing it, this song would still exist. Is a brain a temporal physical support unit in our sense?
He strikes me as the sort of person that loves confrontation. He's a raging narcissist, but he's also brilliant and highly opinionated. I find that I often disagree with him, but I appreciate his perspective. I don't much like when he bullies people in a public forum, since his followers will continue to harrass those individuals.
One simple way to minimize impact of these attacks is our work called Pixel Deflection (CVPR 2018 Spotlight). Here is a short (4 min) video introduction to the idea https://youtu.be/VgjOXJ9QKWo
I listened to a podcast from Kristen Truempy with Jeffrey (103). He reaches similar conclusions, notably the benefit for society and the blind eye of big-S-science.

He gets emotional when dealing with blatant denial of "150 years of documented empirical evidence" (as he should). He mentions that polls suggest 2/3rd of the population recognizes the existence of some form of ESP.

Jeffrey also mentioned (but not recommend) the One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge. Indeed its setup resembles a freak show, not science.

I didn't know of any of the competitions in TV-shows, nor of the $100.000 reward by the Australian Skeptics (seemingly discontinued), which "is open to any contender who can state exactly what their paranormal claim is, and the claim can give a definite yes or no result".

In my view, in psychology, a definite yes or no result, doesn't exist, and no one should be asked to provide one. Not even climate scientists can convince 100% of the population of climate change despite overwhelming evidence. Nor can an advertiser force all clients to buy the intended products. Yet advertising definitely works.

Note that, as should be obvious, I have no prior at all in parapsychology. Even when I was writing down my original post, I felt the need for a reality check (and repeated the experiment).
It never gets better, one just becomes used to it and good at managing it.
Could you please outline a meaningful distinction between bartering and selling?
The U2 pilots typically don't even know what sensor equipment they're using either - it's all super hush-hush. They basically go up, fly their routes, and land without knowing what's going on underneath.
Download Fusion 360 (probably the easiest of the serious programs and free for hobbyists), and start playing around, try making some enclosures for your PCBs copying features from existing objects around you.
I think this is the strategy. Going to check it out. You guys made my day.
To folks that are proficient with Objective-C,
1) How do you like working in Swift?
2) Are you more productive (for medium or large projects)?
3) Do you enjoy it more?
In my part (if you are already very proficient with Objective-C), those answers are Nos.

It’s not about making the people who are already familiar with Objective C. It’s about the next generation of developers who find Objective C obtuse.

The current iOS developers can stay with Objective C for the foreseeable future. Microsoft had to drag developers from C/C++ and Vb6 to .Net. Apple has to do something similar.
Ask HN: What library do you use for ReachJS Charts?

How does one differentiate fixes and feature? For example, suppose a new TLS standard is adopted. This requires work to implement. Is the change a fix or an upgrade? Will the team be indefinitely required to issue updates to the old TLS?

I like the agenda-pricing concept. But it feels like a poor-man’s compromise for a subscription. Why not permit downloads of an executable any time a sub is valid?

Yes. I think this is what people are actually aggravated by. Somebody did extra work, however well-intentioned, that resulted in a worse experience than had they done nothing. On Chrome Android, you can "Request desktop site" which changes the User-Agent to look like a desktop.
I've been there! Friends/family of U2 pilots sometimes get to ride in the chase cars, which follow the jets as they land.

You basically go from 0 to 95 in a few seconds to catch up with the landing U2. It's definitely worth the trip to the base, which is north of Sacramento - they're amazing aircraft.

I dislike “non scientist” as a disparagement - you don’t need to a PhD or trained bench scientist to follow the scientific method. Many times throughout history trained “scientists” have deviated from proper scientific method, and plenty of exciting developments have been from non professionals.

That said in this case, and given the field involved, I suspect that there wasn’t a whole lot of scientific method involved in the counter measures research :-/

Thank you for taking the time to comment.

I am not in the US to call. I am sure we have a number for a similar purpose.

I’m reluctant to call - I do not know how it will help. I can imagine all the arguments; why I should be happy. Why I am worthy. I’d been telling them to myself for a long time. I’ve just stopped believing in them.
To anyone trying to get more focussed and less distracted, stay away from anything like this! Keep it lean, keep it clean.
Sure. But the game is to think of experiences that are more or less likely depending on which guess is true. Any ‘crucial’ experiment is only so given some background.

It might be fun/useful to spend five minutes writing down all the experiences like that that you can think of. (E.g. I’m writing this from a town on the edge often Rocky Mountains facing a plain. If I climb up, how would how far I can see vary with the height?)
I wrote a somewhat similar tool for use with Emacs many years ago, SwankJS: https://github.com/swank-js/swank-js See this demo, for example: http://emacsrocks.com/e11.html It was not dependent on Chrome features and even did work with IE6 at some point. Too bad REPL-based programming is not very useful for modern JavaScript. There's a successor, though: https://github.com/skeeto/skewer-mode
That benchmark seems to list only Kitura. I wonder what it would look like with Perfect, Vapor, or Zewo.

> Concurrency hasn't moved at all

Yeah, it hasn't moved because GCD is already pretty mature, and they don't seem to have made any effort at other concurrency paradigms. I'd love to see how something more like CSP would work (Zewo has an implementation, but I haven't had a chance to work with it yet).

> There is also nothing for cross-platform development (real cross-platform, not just iOS and macOS).

Not yet; it doesn't quite seem like it's ready to be a practical goal. I'm curious to see if that changes when they manage ABI stability.

How Graphics Cards Work
It would of course require human interaction for each icon, but it could be done efficiently with custom software for dividing and selecting components for the "emphasis" color. Most icons involve multiple unioned paths, and some icons have entirely separate components, although all at the Noun Project are monochrome.

This process could be done by those wanting to add an icon to their site. The motivation is there, just need a web app to upload an SVG, click some subpaths, and download a "two-color standard-compliant" SVG.
What are the unintended consequences of that? If a capital gain gets taxed at 35%, it follows that you will have less incentive to seek capital gains in higher risk investments. Look at the paucity of VC and angel investing in France for example — extremely high capital gains taxes result in much more conservative investing and thus a relative lack of funding for startups. Much startup investment is from quasi-government programs that require Byzantine and Kafka-esque processes that favor “safer” businesses that fit in with central planned priorities rather than businesses that might become truly disruptive.

It’s simplistic to suggest making tax rates the same. Capital gains are what drive investment. Increase the tax on investment and naturally, you will get less investment. Capital gains are a reward for risking capital. You lower the reward, you will create a reduction in investment — which has a much more deleterious economic effect than the marginal gain achieved from raising the tax.
It's been repeated multiple times, not targeting the weak low quality journals (which, I agree, can likely be done to any field) but the top journals. If the Piltdown man had been published in the journal Science, that'd be more analogous.

Some of the criticisms levied by post-modernism are valid, but if the best journals can't distinguish between it and a Markov chain, we have a problem of low information content.
This is pretty extreme.
For my ebiking to work during summer and winter I wear pretty much the same as whatever the pedestrians are wearing. The only extra thing I take is a pair of light waterproof pants, to supplement my jacket in case it really pours.

80’s computers are also much simpler both in hardware and in software.
You can actually fix a computer beyond say redoing caps on a motherboard and more importantly you can fix it in a lot of creative ways for example if you have a buggy IO chip you can bypass it, and while you lose some functionality it will work.

The software is also much simpler both in concepts/design and implementation due to the limits of the hardware.

I think this make it much more approachable to many people as a hobby.

>While VGG16 has 5 pooling
operations in its 16 layers, Resnet50 has only one pooling operation among its 50 intermediate layers
and InceptionResnetV2 has only 5 among its intermediate 134 layers.

Aka being computationally cheap with pooling causes weird sampling issues.

The paper has a terrible pompous title that's just wrong. Modern CNNs generalize wonderfully on small translations.

Yes of course. As long as we have electricity in our brains we can store and process information. The very precise implementation of this would require to study biology (it's already interesting to see that we run on electricity like computers!).
This is very much the same foundation of disinformation campaigns like strongarm regime propaganda or what is currently termed “fake news”. By attacking credibility itself, anything and nothing are equally valid. The problem with poisoning the well of your own personal data is that it also makes it easier to indict you on false pretenses.
From the title and URL, I mistakenly thought this was about the Sweet16 Apple IIgs emulator (for macOS) getting an update. That would have been nice, because it's a 32 bit only app and so won't work past macOS 10.14 Mojave. :(

Oh my god I get a headache just thinking about all the feature flags they'll have to maintain, and all the copywriting to describe each feature, and all the support emails from people asking which features they can use...

What are they going to do when a new feature makes another one obsolete? Keep both? What if they fix a bug in the new version, do they also fix it in the obsolete version?

This sounds like a major maintenance chaos a few years down the line. They'll need to keep adding individual features to incentivise frequent re-purchases, so they'll end up with hundreds of variations of the app, all depending on when you bought it...

Thinking about this makes me so happy about the pay-once model of my apps, I'm so grateful that it works, and that I don't need to squeeze every penny from my customers.
I don’t know if this is what you mean: I have learned to pretend like I care. To put on a smile on my kids’ birthdays, when deep inside I feel sorry for them. They are so happy now, not suspecting what awaits them when they grow up.

> Simply starting chrome with a `--remote-debug`

I wouldn't call that "simple". Sounds like fine behavior given non-devs generally don't even know how to run Chrome with custom flags and developers know that remote debugging generally means remote execution with data/memory access. Would you prefer a better flag name or lock remote debugging to a subset of tabs?
I suggest you to try CBT. The therapist won't try to tell you why you should be happy or why are you worthy, the treatment is different.
You can try CBT, or ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), or perhaps also a rogerian therapy can be of help.
And that's better for GitHub how?
I would recommend finding a therapist. I was in a similar position as you and therapy helped me a lot. Hope you get better.
It's actually even contagious.. when those you know commit suicide or even celebrities - it makes it seem easier to those around you. I've been struggling for the past year, myself with major depression, and I know when Chester Benngington (Linkin Park) died, for awhile it seemed like it wouldn't be such a bad idea, myself.

I had a brand new baby though, and every time I felt full of despair, I'd go and hold him for a bit. It helped bring me out, or at least give me a reason to live a bit longer till, my mood swung in the other direction.
Does this work?

Whenever you're crowdsourcing, bad actors are a possibility. You'd usually track agreement to root out both the bad and incompetent actors, but what you're saying would essentially amount to a 51%-attack. That is, with enough bad actors working together, consensus stops being trustworthy.

I see two ways to address this (there are probably more, this is just me thinking out loud):

1. Increase the size of the pool of total reviewers so a 51%-attack becomes infeasible. Incentives can be offered to the rest of the community to get them to participate.
(This is similar to what bitcoin tries to do, with the added obstacle of actor anonymity. In an anonymous system, 1 bad actor can trivially simulate an arbitrary number of actors. Bitcoin tries to solve this by increasing the operating cost for each perceived actor. Counter Strike can be seen as having a fixed lump operating cost: purchase price of the game + time investment to accrue enough XP to qualify for the cheater jury. )

2. Create an additional set of people you trust unconditionally. (These can be people you train and pay a wage.) This means you can spot-check anyone, and a consensus between bad actors is an investigative clue (to find more bad actors) rather than a hindrance.

Building the Software 2.0 Stack by Andrej Karpathy [video]
The PRNGs you mentioned before all generate integers. The conversion from the integer PRNG to the floating point, and the conversion from one integer range to another range needed in the ziggurat algorithm both need to be done "right" to give correct results (I can imagine that even using splitmix64 the wrong implementation could be programmed by somebody not knowing what has to be done), so if you aren't sure about these steps you should surely check their quality yourself. If these are done right, I'd personally expect xoroshiro128+ could be "good enough" even when having that specific weakness (poorer quality when using only lsb bits) that you worried about. It's important, of course, not to drop the highest bits away.

And on another side, 2om3r questions the speed measurements of the author, and I think he has a point: the speed measurements should be made in the context of the real use, otherwise the compilers are able to "cheat" (optimize pieces of the code away) if the example is too simple.
It doesn’t have to happen to them, they can grow up as happy as they are now. One good reason to seek help for yourself, and recover from your depression, is to give your children an example of how to respond if/when it happens to them.

Hey aragorn2, I read trough all the comments you made here as well.

Based on that I want to recommend to you the material of Stefan Molyneux in regards to two of his keywords: self-knowledge and peaceful parenting. He talks about other things too, but I don't mean those in regards to you.

I also do want to qualify my statement thus: I am not referring so much on his main points in regards to those two topics, but more the subtler points he is making.

For example, in peaceful parenting he has an eye on how things are hereditary. It is this detail, how he observes this, that I think is helpful to you. Not so much the parenting topic in itself.

As you point out, that the relative ordering remained stable means progress being made is not simply overfitting to the test set. The negative finding from the paper you link to is in how much accuracy drops considering how slight modifications to the test set were. In their own words:

> We view this gap as the result of a small distribution shift between the original CIFAR-10 dataset and our new test set. The fact that this gap is large, affects all models, and occurs despite our efforts to replicate the CIFAR-10 creation process is concerning.

> Nevertheless, the accuracy of all models drops by 4 - 15% and the relative increase in error rates is up to 3×. This indicates that current CIFAR-10 classifiers have difficulty generalizing to natural variations in image data.

It remains to be seen if others can think up ways to maintain performance that the authors did not manage.
