This was captivating. Love that he goes through the entire build process and then at the end says:

following is a text snippet from the Article . I do not know which part of the following is AI , it is pure "data analysis" writing few SQL queries . This is the Biggest problem of IBM, they bill these kind of things as AI .

> A clinic could use the system to search its patient records and find, for example, all the men over age 45 who were overdue for a colonoscopy, and then use an autocall to remind them to schedule the dreaded appointment.
IBM Watson is bad for the "AI" community because when non-experts see IBM repeatedly fail they assume the whole field is nonsense. Hopefully IBM will be more cautious in what they claim to be possible. Hype and deceit do not belong in healthcare.
Other replies have explained that the ions and electrons can be at different temperatures, and that is of course true. I can offer some more explanation why. While you have linked temperature to some average kinetic energy, this is not a strictly accurate notion of temperature. Temperature only means something in the context of thermodynamic equilibrium; for any system out of equilibrium, often a temperature cannot be defined, even as an average kinetic energy. The two concepts are linked to each other, in the sense that an average kinetic energy at the particle scale is a significant (and sometimes only, but not always) component of the internal energy of the system. But temperature is first and foremost an equilibrium concept.

A plasma is composed of both ions (partially ionized atoms, or if they are fully ionized, bare nuclei) and electrons. Together, they constitute two co-located but separate fluids, whose motions may be distinct; indeed, because electrons are so much lighter than ions, they respond to forces much more readily. In equilibrium, a single fluid must have sufficiently rapid interactions so that the particle distributions are driven to a Maxwellian. In that case, for a single fluid, a temperature is well defined. In the case of a two-fluid system, self-interactions (such as interactions between ions and themselves, and electrons and themselves) may be sufficient to establish two separate equilibria corresponding to each fluid; hence, the electron vs. ion temperature. Only in the case that ion-electron interactions are sufficiently rapid would those equilibria be driven together to a single-temperature fluid, in which case, Te = Ti.

This picture becomes rapidly more complicated at very high temperature (usually, around 0.1 keV or about a million K), at which point the photons being exchanged by hot charged particles become dynamically important, and a third temperature, the radiation temperature, may emerge. At this point, the plasma must be described using three temperatures - if, and only if, you are in a situation lucky enough for equilibrium to manifest. (Fortunately, equilibrium is not usually that hard to access.) In many cases, such as when the system undergoes a strong shock, the system may be driven very far from equilibrium, but only temporarily. In others, some underlying energetic process may continuously drive the system away from equilibrium, resulting in a metastable state; this is the case in stellar atmospheres, in which NLTE (non-local thermodynamic equilibrium) processes matter a great deal. Usually, physicists resort to kinetic theory to try to understand such situations.

That's ridiculously cheap electricity! I assume that's just the lowest tier? Can most people make it through the month at that rate, or do the rates typically jump mid-way through?
Hacking Korea: The accidental HFT firm
That's fair. Google's recent paper on predicting patient deaths is another good example of this (logistic regression + good feature engineering performed just as well as their deep learning models, and the logistic regression has the added benefit of being significantly more interpretable and as a result, actionable).

It'll be interesting to see when specialized ML focused silicon will become readily available. Right now I find ML libraries that are able to run on blended architectures (any combination of CPU and GPU's) much more exciting/impactful than TPU's. The ability to deploy on just about any cluster a customer may have available is huge.
Intel Scalable I/O Virtualization [pdf]
It doesn't get more web-scale than `/dev/null`. Unlimited throughout, zero latency, full availability and consistency even in the presence of partitions, and constant network usage for any number of nodes!

There's a chance of data loss, of course, but the write performance is so good that it's a perfect fit for workloads like analytics or logging.
I also use Syncthing on my mobile phone, but for actual syncing. The music stuff I'm converting from FLAC to opus, transferring to my mobile and then deleting the opus files from my computer.

The Brexit Short: How Hedge Funds Used Private Polls to Make Millions
I've seen economists argue that most of the benefits of low tariffs actually comes from increased imports. Increasing imports increases the consumer surplus from the cheaper goods and is an easy way to increase a country's standard of living without much effort.

Singapore, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Macau all have 0 import tariffs, and rather than mass unemployment they are incredibly rich by international standards.

Freedom of speech, like all freedoms, requires discipline and comes with costs. Sometimes those costs are tragically high, but freedom is worth it because the altenative is even worse.

I wonder why this logic is rarely applied to the second amendment? Guns can be used for tragic purposes, but also allow vulnerable people to defend themselves when the police can't or won't. Nobody is really sure whether they can prevent the next tyranny, but we're pretty sure that tyrants or slaveowners don't want their subjects armed.
In the US it could be too.

While many companies in the US can fire an employee for "no reason" that doesn't mean ANY reason or any process. If the company has a process that isn't fair, an employee could potentially sue over that. Granted other factors come into play but if a company sets up a system like this they still have to do it fairly, a judge could potentially decide the process is unfair.
Well, can one take more than one action per frame? Then it's quite multiplicative.
Whoops, thanks for noticing.
Some people will contest your question's premise, but there's also a geopolitical argument.

There's a strong sentiment in certain circles that the best way to deal with emerging powers is by incorporating them into global neoliberal institutions. The theory is that including these countries sets up the correct incentives for liberalization, and that liberal markets beget a middle clas s which eventually demands democratic voice. And democracies are western-friendly.

So the roadmap for China was supposed to be a gradual liberalization, first economically and then politically. This strategy is a long game and "requires patience".

I'm not particularly convinced by this argument (it's too... cold war-y), but I'm doing my best to portray it accurately. And if you accept its basic premise, then there's a strong geopolitical long-game case for "putting up with" asymmetric trade barriers.
This is a similar story. (Maybe it is actually the incident to which you are referring?)

Ah, I see. I was thrown off by the naming. Thankyou for the clarification.
You're under the mistaken assumption that Amazon is actually trying to set up a fair system with this, instead of creating something they can point to when they're criticized for hasty firings.
Docker has reached the point that it is complicated. A lot of people never did cgroups just because it is lower, starting to touch kernel stuff. Few people want to go there.

Docker is one of those things that you can install and run; it takes a small amount of time to get running. As you said, value in simplifying things.

That being said... Anyone who takes the stance that containers are better than X/Y/Z are just showing that they don't have the drive to get into the why of how it all works.

Any argument of 'it saves overhead' can take that argument and run with it until the cows come home; but they don't understand that the overhead is all relative. As a programmer; I stopped caring about overhead and starting worrying about the fact that people will break my stuff, I just need to stop them from breaking other things using that as the foothold.
The headline of your linked article is:

> 2 Dalits caned, paraded naked in Maharashtra for swimming in well of upper caste man

and you said the two were boys, so is it true that this guy caned and paraded two boys naked around the village for messing with his well? If so, I think this only confirms the foreign media's narrative.

Good idea! The only way this could fail is if some huge advertising company had created their own browser and became dominant on the market. We would be so screwed! XD
About your example: There is a group with a very strong desire to preempt all facts and evidences and paint a particular picture. If those people are to be believed Indian culture teaches rape, murder and intolerance and that we are proud of it. I don't understand how could anyone buy that but people do, both here and outside.

While Mesos always supported a number of container orchestration layers (e.g. Netflix's Titus), you are right in that Marathon used to be the only container orchestrator for DC/OS up until 2017. Mesosphere DC/OS has had a Kubernetes package in GA since March and we've had 6 releases since then to make sure always was newest version of Kubernetes and to add features (Strict Mode).

Disclaimer: I am the PM at Mesosphere.
That's fair enough. It's a running joke with applied ML people that half of your job, if you have any sense of professionalism, is convincing possible clients that no, they probably don't need to use a 41 layer DNN to send a follow up email.
Like any hyped up technology, Docker gets pitched as an "easy, works out of the box, secure by default solution" but it is almost anything but. But also like any technology, if you take the time to really understand what it is doing and what problems it can solve for you, it can be really awesome to work with.

Every "Docker Considered Harmful" post I've read basically boils down to "Why would you use Docker if you can use the 10 technologies it wraps around and manage them yourself instead?" Why would I want to do that if I don't have to? Docker wraps these things well. There are weird defaults and there are some popular patterns in the community that are a bit backwards, but you have the power to work around it. Don't run your containers as root and run a dumb init process in your container. That's half of the posts complaints gone right there. Complaining about defaults is one thing, claiming that bad defaults make a technology "harmful" is just lazy.
Also, Fission is a potential dangerous technology. Not only for accidents, also for intentional missuse.

The wider it is avaiable, the easier it is for certain groups to get more dangerous.
So, it _will_ be interesting, after all!

But that doesn't seem like something that should be standardized anyway. There is no one way to do web UI, and the current popular paradigm (DOM/CSS) isn't particularly good either. Going to a lower-level gives more control to web developers, and the browser could always cache popular frameworks.

Now that we think about it, even with the DOM/CSS UI framework built into the browser, people still make use of libraries like jquery so library caching is something the browser needs to do anyway, WASM or not.
It sounds like 170,000 is every possible combination of actions that might ever be valid. They stated that usually around 1000 are valid at any point in time.

Based on the examples under the "Model structure" section, I'm guessing they are counting all combinations of spell and target location, including locations on the ground for ground-targetable spells? That could add up quick... e.g. 10 spells * 20 target units * 9x9 grid of locations around each = around 16,000 possibilities.
War is diplomacy by other means, a fundamentally political decision. As long as there are armies, it is politicians who will send men to die, and those politicians are responding to their voting blocs.

Thus senior military leadership is keenly interested in readiness. This requires training, R&D, and intelligence. "Are my officers and troops more physically and mentally prepared than the enemy's?" "What's the best weapon I've got?" and "What's the best weapon they've got?" are critical questions.

See T. R. Fehrenbach's "This Kind of War" for the US's brutal baptism into the darker side of their role as a superpower, a war no American wanted to get involved in. The short-hand in history for this necessity of readinesss is Task Force Smith (2).

Aside from being a bad argument for the reasons already listed, I'm honestly getting tired of the "X considered harmful" meme, when the author never actually makes an argument that docker is harmful, only superfluous.
Hotels/hostels/B&Bs I believe are generally required to have the passport of foreign guests scanned or logged. This has been true of almost every country I've traveled to. Dunno why. Maybe they need the ID of local guests too? No idea.

Personally my preference is towards consumer products where possible, because they require less effort and look more presentable... Especially when its for a non-technical user. For instance, the smoke detector is a First Alert. It appears First Alert does have a natural gas detector, but it doesn't appear they make it with support for their Onelink protocol.
Is 811 10th (NYCMNY54) even interesting from an Internet perspective any longer? Yes, the building is part of AT&T’s network (AS7018), but as far as I’m aware, no peering occurs here at all. I’d look for equivalent shady racks or rooms at 60 Hudson, 111 8th and 25 Broadway.

Maybe the comfortable relationship between NSA and at&t are more the driver for the location, and the fiber taps are all backhauled here.

From a voice perspective, though, I’d think this was still a useful surveillance point, given AT&T likely still tandems traffic here.

I think this hits the real point. The expected value of the number of advanced civilizations may be high, but that could mean a very small probability of billions of advanced civilizations complemented with a very large probability of zero, one, or just a few.

Trump believes that the USA is getting a bad deal - not that trade is bad. China may purchase US companies and Universities, but US is nowhere close to being able to do the same in China.

Also, you say that Trump misunderstands trade deficits. Can you prove that at all? He's a very successful businessman. I would be more likely to think it's you with the misunderstanding.
This is roughly my litmus test: Do I see a lot of examples of people running into problems, and the solution turns out to be an obscure configuration (or worse, a case where the default configuration is something that should never be done)? Do I see evidence of a lot of cases where the right way to do things is not the obvious way to do things?

Both of these are red flags. Sure, I can learn how to steer around all the potholes. But so will everyone else who works on the project. Eventually someone will miss some important detail, or go on a refactoring expedition and end up removing a bunch of what appears to be excess complication but is actually a carefully constructed workaround for some wart in the system (the comment explaining this having long since been deleted - or maybe migrated to the team wiki, where all good information goes to die - by someone who had been watching a lot of Uncle Bob videos on YouTube at the time), and then production bugs sneak in, and eventually people quite rationally start to blame the technology.

Professor Chomsky has often had to respond to criticism that he singled out the U.S. for his criticisms. He rightly points out that, as a citizen of the U.S., he is obligated first to attempt to address the wrongs (as he sees them) of his own government first, since he (at least in theory) has some ability to influence his own government.

Intel gutted their budget mobile Celeron/Pentium lines by replacing them with Atom based models.

This strategy makes sense for smaller laptops/netbooks but it makes for horrible user experience at 15inches. It is like putting an engine meant for an European city car into F150.

That is if a Acer/Asus/etc wants to build a budget laptop they have to choose the crappy atom based chip.

It is a crime that a budget 15 inch laptop from 2012 can run circles around a budget 15 inch laptop from 2018.
You're not missing much in this 304-word blurb. Outside of name-dropping, there's an introductory snippet that guides you to a video.

> So how do they work? You may have heard that the normal rules of reality don’t always apply in the world of quantum mechanics. A phenomenon known as a quantum superposition allows things to kinda, sorta, be in two places at once, for example. In a quantum computer, that means bits of data can be more than just 1 or 0, as they are in a conventional computer; they can also be something like both at the same time.

When data is encoded into effects like those, some normal limitations on conventional computers fall away. That allows a quantum computer to be much faster on certain tricky problems. Want a full PhD, or third-grade, explanation? Watch the video above.

I never refused to do anything of me; I carefully following the Amazon principles. I also worked closely with another senior mentor at Amazon. I talked with him weekly for months before and after the events mentioned to make sure I was doing what was asked of me as best as I could.

I agree that I cannot directly prove the causation. Both my wife and myself feel this is the cause and I think it is reasonable.

There are clear reasons for why people do as they do, and blaming oneself is not the proper solution. My general belief is that care must be taken to understand how to interact with people in a way that they understand, since accurate communication is not an easy task.

There's one source. Please don't buy if from Amazon. Read it, find more of your own sources, and if you disagree, please come back and we can have an adult discussion. Amazon warehouses are run like gulags. Need to go to the toilet? That's one demerit. Call in sick? One demerit. Be off sick without calling in? Three demerits. When you get to six you're fired. If I had an employer pull that on me, I'd walk on day one, and so would you. We're not weak. We're not vulnerable. They know who they need to recruit in order to do this.

They pick areas full of people desperate for work. They go to places where they know they will have an effectively endless supply of desperate, vulnerable, fearful people that they can pay a pittance to while they exploit them. It's their strategy. That's how you can exploit people and use them, and their actions are not accidental.

I upvoted you for engaging; what I have to say is very unpopular and most people just blank it and move on. Thank you.
> Singapore, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Macau

So a banking haven, with banks so massive they'd require the big US banks to get over 10x larger to match the relative scale to the Swiss economy.

A tiny, highly regulated gambling haven, that can't be replicated to the US scale at all.

And then two tiny islands in Hong Kong and Singapore, with a combined 13 million people.

That's a really terrible comparison sheet for arguing low tariffs are a big benefit to the US economy.

Now show me the same for: Germany, France, UK, Japan, Australia, Canada, China, India, Italy, Brazil, Russia, Spain, South Korea. The world's largest economies, and countries that actually have serious population sizes.
