My point was more that while the article seeks to defend the continued relevance of wallpaper, all it talks about is old styles.
Of course, there's tons of theory and practice in nonlinear continuous optimization.

It's interesting to see what machine learning practitioners will rediscover or reinvent next. Quasi-Newton methods appear to be surfacing again.

But you do get some very interesting improvements to vanilla gradient descent!

This was a really enjoyable read that goes through the history of science from the 20th century, and draws connections between the measurement problem from quantum mechanics and ideas from philosophy including logical positivism and transcendental idealism. It's well worth reading if you are at all interested in open problems in quantum mechanics.
My wife enrolled in an online course for college here; in 2018 and requires Flash. (Or so they claim, and I’m not allowed to get too close to my wife’s computer.)
Better to focus on improving the situation with cross platform package managers and build systems for C++ IMO to simplify the process for beginners getting access to those third party libraries in their projects than trying to integrate graphics into the standard.

There is some progress being made on package managers for C++ but things are still pretty fragmented and not very beginner friendly.
Kool aid being drunk...
That's because Javascript doesn't print out the shortest possible output.

OP's requirement is that the output for 0.1 + 0.11 is displayed as 0.21, and that the output survives a round-trip. Your example satisfies the latter but not the former.
I wasn't talking about p-zombie. I was talking about partial p-zombie, which doesn't experience red color only. But I think I get your answer, and it is exactly as I described. You can't imagine p-zombie, you imagine someone with attached label "There's darkness inside" (as Chalmers had put it).

I say that your label is incorrect and your "p-zombie" experiences everything as we do. Prove me wrong. Imagine being nothing.

Otherwise you are just attaching label "dragon" to a pigeon.

ETA: Have you noticed circularity of the argument? You need to accept that physicalism isn't true to be sure that your label "There's darkness inside" can be true, as you can't really imagine p-zombie. Partial p-zombie just makes it obvious. And physicalism requires less epicycles.
You’re not a purist, because there’s nothing inherently pure about C — it’s just another language.
Is it still a thing?
Hehe... nothing more HN than putting “music” in square quotes to summarily dismiss it. Please link ur Soundcloud
Resonating with a point in the article about telling kids "you're not involved in this task", I've noticed that my American neighbors are quite reluctant to allow their kids to use knives, light candles, fill glasses, and some cooking tasks that could result in a lot of mess. As what looks like a consequence those kids are rarely able to help get dinner on the table when they come over.

An uncharitable explanation would be overprotectiveness, but I wonder if it's also simply a lack of time: if the kid is mixing a cake and the batter spills on the floor it is additional work; if they cut their finger it will delay everything. Whereas if you can help your kid become competent you can trust them to look after themselves in more and more situations.
> There are plenty of 2D graphics APIs already from SDL

SDL2 doesn't have a 2D graphics API in the traditional sense. It has a basic bitmap software blitter designed for debugging and bootstrapping. SDL2's main forte is just a being a cross-platform wrapper around the HW-accelerated APIs like OpenGL and Direct3D.

> to one in QT, GTK, Cairo

While Qt does indeed have QPainter, it is switching away from QPainter towards OpenGL with QtQuick. GTK+ uses Cairo (with plans to switch to OpenGL/Vulkan as well). So so far, our list is down from 4 to 2.

> and then the more proprietary ones

I'd list it as: GDI+ (Microsoft), Quartz 2D / CoreImage (Apple), Skia (Google) and Cairo (X.org). HTML5's <canvas> API is taken from Quartz but is often backed by the others.

So there are not that many choices for a modern 2D vector graphics library. My main issue with the 2D proposal is that hardware acceleration and modern graphics just flat out doesn't work the way the 2D API expects it to. You can be very good at pretending, but at some point you'll have to grow up, put on your big boy clothes, and use learn how GPUs work. Hence why there's the heavy migration away from the others. Direct2D has a good example here of a good API, even if the implementation is a bit wacky. Pathfinder 2 is similar.
That is only "modern" in an artistic sense. All of those designs look like the 1960s. Im sure it sells to those looking to emulate past stylez, but not to young people looking for fresh ideas.
Why can't the process of "iterating on datasets" in the second half of the talk be automated?

For example:

- automatically learning that trolley is a not a great fit for a "car" because they are behaviorally different

- reclassify that cluster as a new entity even if it doesn't know the english term "trolley".

- If it finds the new distinction useful, ping the human that it needs more training examples for that situation

Similar to how a human learner can identify that he's bad at something, figure out what the common problem is, and use that information to focus on what to practice on next.

I am sure he alluded to doing this in his talk but what's the technical term for it?

Very interesting.

I thaught my toddler to help dad make his coffee in the morning... Puts the capsule in, pushes the long button, takes the capsule out... Then he smells the coffee and says 'nice' and feels the cup and confirms a job well done by saying 'hot'.

It's surprising how quickly he learnt how to do it, and how keen he is to help dad do it, for no gain of his own.

On the other hand begging him to eat, trick him, or entice him with rewards has had very little impact.

I will try to involve him in most things now.
You got me! I am not a musician, I'm a bassist.

You are correct, but only in the sense that average people call Cavers "spelunkers".
Those who participate in original hard core exploration call themselves Cavers and they are highly trained individuals.
We say "Cavers rescue spelunkers", because we do.
I used to be on a call-out list ready to be flown anywhere in North America for a Cave rescue, I do know what I'm talking about here.
I know hard core Cavers doing original exploration all around the World, they call themselves Cavers.
It's a small elite World, but we exist and we're Cavers.
Only the most pedantic of people would call Cavers spelunkers after learning about hard core caver culture/nomenclature.

Cool, but thier top design catagories are "floral" and "20s-inspired"... not what i would call a modern approach.

Yes, on the performance side of things, Rust is blazing fast, but the learning curve is hard though, that's why I'm wondering if it's really beneficial for me as a programmer especially in the long run, since it's not used widely in the moment.
are people able to bring their own early-stage startups to the table or is this all from scratch? I just submitted a Show HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17280751 and the idea of bringing a project like that to a group is intriguing.

I was working on a similar startup 5 years ago (defunct, called crowdformed) where a group of people would come together to build apps and share in the ownership (like quirky.com for apps). So, I'm a big fan of this type of model, I'll keep an eye on your startup.
Could you elaborate more on why having the compiler tell us that we forgot to change something wouldn't be a good thing?
Intel under investigation over age discrimination in massive job cuts
I really enjoyed reading this as Animal Crossing had a big impression on me as a child. It was engaging and full of character, but didn't have the same structure as other adventure/platformer games I had owned. It opened my eyes up to how interactive media could feature content that was exploratory, rather than goal-oriented.

A few weeks ago, a coworker said they were surprised about Minecraft's enduring popularity, as its gameplay seemed somewhat "pointless" to them. I think games like Animal Crossing help show that games don't necessarily need to exist as an existential need or pastime, and that their value can come from simply allowing your to express yourself in some space. Or, The Elder Scrolls has had a lot of enduring popularity, and I think a lot of that comes from making a character and casually having fun.
The fundamental problem with defensive patents is that you have to do more than merely trust the patent holder's current management. You have to trust the next 20 years of the patent holder's management.
I think you and I fundamentally disagree on what a tax is. You seem to view it as punishment or a burden. I view it as the method for paying for things that help the collective good. Not a punishment but rather a duty for those with the means. If we aren't using taxes to collectively protect society (e.g. military, police, courts), help the less fortunate, etc then why collect them at all? The richer the entity (individual or business), the more means they have and the more they actually benefit from those taxes even if they have to pay them.

EDIT

Just to add, if you agree we need taxation to have functioning society, why wouldn't we get the money from the richest? Why wouldn't we put the burden on the richest? In terms of people inside rich organizations, it is only the already rich, owners and investors, which would feel the burden. Supply and demand will continue to give consumers high quality and low prices. Employees will still get their market-rate wages or minimum wage for low-skill jobs.
The vast majority of this submitter's submissions, including this one, are just wrappers for Amazon affiliate links.
This looks pretty slick, looking forward to giving it a shot. It’s nice to see Sublime get a bit of love too in the age of Atom and VS Code. The Snippets tab under the Sources section of the Dev Tools has worked well for me in the past too.
I'm a little discouraged when I see articles like this that seem to be completely tuned for developers or look over completely decent pro-privacy alternatives like Apple.

For example, the "best" calendar alternative is Etar which looks to a Github repo. Really? At the very least you could mention Apple Calendar. Is Maps.Me (which uses AdSense) really better than Apple Maps? I'm not a fan of hooktube either - it just further cements YouTube's monopoly.

I think what what bothers me is that "privacy focused" tends to be conflated with FOSS. I'm really thankful for organizations like Mozilla and Signal that are trying to deliver privacy focused applications to real people. However I also think we should recognize Apple-like companies who are also privacy focused without necessarily being FOSS. I think that will help move more non-technical people out of central databases.
I guess what I am asking is why was it not build on top of websocket instead of http/2
You would be right if he was talking about the "subjectivity of perception". But he is not. He is talking about "stars exploding far away", and the expansion of the universe, and relativity. His quote, I repeat: "But what if time is actually speeding up? If everything is changing at the same speed, there is no way to measure it. [...] What I suggest is that these are not subjective, but rather objective experiences.". And this is quackery.
This is just a wrapper for 5 other articles that this submitter has spammed to HN 23 times this week... and counting.
The "money" quote is right here,

> Steepest descent or gradient descent depends on a choice of ruler (or Riemannian metric) for the parameter space of interest. The Euclidean metric is rarely a natural choice, especially for spaces with dimensions that carry different physical units, such as the example shown here.

But I think this, to many ML researchers or biophysicists, is true by what I lovingly call the NSH[0]. The argument posed (in a slightly anthropomorphized way) goes as follows:

-

We have some function, f, which we want to minimize/maximize: usually f will be the negative log of some probability distribution, or whatever. Now, hey, look, this function could be anything that's differentiable, all we know is that the minimum of this function is really useful.

But, what happens if we replace this function by another function, g, whose minimum at x is the same, but g(x + ∆) ≈ g(x) for ∆ being fairly large, then we run into a problem! Minimizing g (which is, admittedly, an unnatural representation of f) is bad because it's really hard for us to distinguish points around x from x itself (which is the point we want) using only the gradient information, since it's very close to zero. In other words, while the function g preserves many of the same properties as f (in fact, the only one we care about, the minimum), the trajectory of gradient descent on g is going to be mostly pretty dumb as compared to what it could be for f.

In the case that f is the negative log-likelihood of some empirical distribution, then the Fisher information turns out to be a natural choice for the curvature of the distribution (see Information Geometry, if you're interested in this idea) and running what is essentially a Newton method on f will yield similar trajectories to running it on g, which is what we want.

-

The paper makes no particularly strong argument that is of note, except that, yes, of course, "the brain" doesn't actually "run" gradient descent as stated on paper, which apparently is an assumption some neuroscience models make use of to make predictions. This is... not really a claim anyone is arguing for, as far as I know (the paper has citations [12,13], but taking a quick peek, only 12 mentions this idea directly, but even there invokes the "natural gradient" argument that the authors here propose, and only mentions, in passing, that this mechanism is "biologically plausible").

I wonder if this is a valley thing? I'm in flyover country, and it's pretty much engineering, physics, mathematics, or bust.
But he is not interpreting his experience. If I understood him correctly, he is claiming his differing perception of time vs his grandchildren is due to some physical phenomenon.

When you see something like this, it's best to email the mods via the Contact link in the footer so they can act on it.
If everyone ties their ego/identity/career/intellect to upvotes then what is voted up the most is accepted as most valid, most correct, or best - even if the individual does not understand all of the language or background material mentioned.

This can create a causal feedback cycle that establishes general trends in technology, because it's rooted in self identity and the appearance of intelligence (doesn't have to actually be intelligence).

Correlation is not causation but correlation combined with a system that intertwines (belief, personal motives/self identity/self image, crowd validation) can cause correlation to become causal.
Here's one link [1]. It's dated and so hopefully many of these have been resolved. Swift doesn't solve any problems for me so haven't really looked at it again for a long while.

Mainly it seemed that instead of supporting full functional concepts, they one-offed feature that _looked_ like it was functional but weren't. Unfortunately I can't find the original article that reviewed the Swift type system.

Oh nice! What state is it in?
Cave exploration is a lousy place for any sort of robot due to the ever changing terrain.
Most caves worth exploring have vertical entrances, one has to rappel into, let's see a robot do that and then climb a 15 foot nuisance drop, then open a heavy culvert door with a blast of wind either coming at you or sucking in pulling on the door, then climb down a ladder in that culvert, traverse some more passage, then rappel off Boulder falls, and on to the Rift, with has a safety line one has to clip onto so when your go around the Freakout Traverse you don't die if you fall, and so on... Yes, this is Lech.
The floor is almost never flat, the ceiling height changes from 100's of feet to mere inches, the passage widths vary immensely, there are pools of water, streams, loose rock, sand, boulders, some the size of houses in Lechuguilla and other large caves, narrow channels in the floor, it's a mess.
No robot currently in production could traverse even the most featureless of beginners caves.
It will be decades before robots are ready to explore caves.
Not saying it's done with malice aforethought, but it's a known and common pattern. I've done it myself with Amazon Prime and other things where I took a few months longer than I should have to actually go cancel it. Some will let things lie far longer.

If a service is worthless without the online component, Netflix for instance, a sub is clearly the answer and I'll pay gladly. For an editor, utility or IDE having an online account is usually, for me at least, a minor benefit at best when I'll put my files in iCloud, dropbox or git. You made it a tougher sell as you want a rolling commitment. £50 as a one off? I'll spend that on a whim, then probably upgrade in a couple of years.

Most examples I've seen of companies switching to a subscription model end up with a subscription that's more than the previous licence cost. Unless it's something your career or business depends on few would buy every major release widening the real differential further.

That we're having this conversation on a post about a "cash cow sales model" says it all don't you think? It simply starts to look like "we'd like more money from you".

Do you pay them more, too?
This is what Active Training is. Basically you trace the boundaries in a classification model and provide more examples along those boundaries.
Since you were kind enough to remove the grump from your comment:

Do you believe that there is no difference between having a national team with zero players who thrive in foreign leagues vs having 4-5 key players who do?

I don't believe that, it's not really what I'm saying. On the other hand, this is the winning squad of the 2006 World Cup.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup_squads#Ita...

It's tricolore all the way. I don't think foreign league participation is what keeps English fans from having to endlessly update the years of hurt count.
Anyone know of an alternative email client that sorts your mail intelligently into promotions, updates, forums, primary like Gmail does? That's had such a positive impact on my productivity I can't leave it behind (I've tried).
I'm not sure I follow. He has no authority nor knowledge nor evidence to make those claims.

Last year I had the immense privilege of attending a concert of perhaps the greatest piano virtuoso alive today. I was enthralled. Then after the concert finished, he expounded his views on why sound is a divine phenomenon, and that the wave theory of sound is a conspiracy peddled by scientists, easily disproven by simple experiments, as well as a confusing argument of why the sun revolves around the earth. Am I supposed to take this seriously because it's a, how do you put it, a creative view? I reiterate, nothing about my opinion of his performance changed due to this; those are entirely different concerns.
Fantastic idea! It better explains rebound REM than "brain heater", while still explaining the lack of REM in aquatic mammals - half of the brain is always "pumping".
> You failed to prove me wrong or in fact to understand the point I was making.

Then communicate your point better. Losing the hostility would be a great start.
