Well, to be frank-- you're right. To some extent we are all the arbiters of what constitutes satisfactory learning.

My experience of grad school was that it aimed to modify how I learned.

To a certain extent, newly minted PhDs are still only experts in the barest sense, but getting a PhD is the point at which people become more-or-less "on their own" as scholars... when they publish work, it's no longer "student" work, it is work that is put out by a person who has passed a qualifying exam and defended their ideas against a panel of peers.

This is a process of how new academically-blessed authors are created: it's a process of authorization. There's a certain amount of authority that this conveys to say "I've learned this stuff, here's what I found." That "authority" only exists within the framework of academia, and we are all free folks who have that authority from birth.

So yeah, you're right that we have this authority in general from birth. But to a certain extent, gaining that authority in that context is the process of pursuing a PhD, and once you have that I am not seeing what there is to gain even within that context.

Does that clarify what I am wondering?

Are the locks not database-side, rather than client-side?
I'm inclined to be more optimistic. Compared to how much Free/Open hardware progress has been made in the last couple years with RISC-V, getting a pure FOSS boot loader sounds like a cakewalk, no?
Not trying to be sarcastic here but isn't this the case for most products in their early years and even for some that are "old"?

Every offering has its' issues but most of the time there is one feature that makes dealing with these worth it.
That sounds amazing. Too bad the nearest center is 500km away :(

yeah, I after I wrote those paper authors I also wrote the slide author - who is the only one who emailed me back, so I got the slides.

Still, I think more information is recoverable. For example I could tell Video Enhancer wasn't using that many frames (from the encoding progress and framerates), maybe just a few adjacent frames.

Yet you could see a very clear improvement:

(As though a sharpen mask was applied, but it isn't.)

I did see if I could get an improvement if I forced it to use more frames by running through a few times, each time doubling video speed so I end up with 1 frame from the whole segment - but it didn't end up better. Anyway, now I have the original.

Depends on the program, of course. You're asking how robust the trained model is to outliers and how effective it is at extrapolation. Different training algorithms have different behaviors.
Explaining math of GAN to teens (NIPS 2014)
Like a lot of federal agencies, NSA has its own police force to secure their buildings. A few years ago they somewhat infamously shot someone who drove through the Fort Meade gate and then refused an order to stop. They were driving a stolen car, but apparently made a wrong turn.
This is only true for the lower levels of math. Like all subjects, you need a baseline. Even art 101 has to walk you through the basics.

The more advanced math classes are much more 'creative'. They don't stress doing it your own way per say, but find a way when a clear way isn't obvious.

In the end, you still have to get an answer right, even if it's unknown to mankind.
Some thoughts (in no particular order):

- some have, and have responded, but we aren't looking for them in the right place and in the right way

- humans have only been able to actively send information into space since only about the 1950s (radio waves), and physics dictates that locations 80 light years away are just now starting to see that, provided they are looking in the right location and in the right way (and that they are technologically advanced enough to do so.

- It could be that a sufficiently advanced civilization no longer has the capability to receive and transmit long-wave radio communications. Just like many computers now don't have any way to read a floppy disk, or if someone were trying to communicate via smoke signals, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who could understand it.

- Space is so large that if a civilization several hundred light years away (an insignificant fraction of the size of our one galaxy, actually) sent us a message that we received and responded to, it's possible they could have collapsed by the time they receive our response. The converse is also true, they could have 'seen' us and sent a message, and we could collapse before we had a chance to receive it and respond.
What? He's 100% right.

You will lose weight, it's just not in the areas you want. I've followed a similar path and have slowly but surely lost weight all over (~100lbs at this point): abdomen, chest, arms, legs, face, and neck.

It really is as simple as a calorie deficit. Good nutrition mixed in with that and exercise can help to bolster results but you don't need them. The first 6 months all I did was watch calories—no exercise—and lost a good 50-60 lbs.

The thing missing for most folks isn't genetics, it's patience. If you start off big, it takes a long time to "get skinny." You lose a ton of weight early on and then as your body adapts, fat loss slows but doesn't stop. That's not disingenuous.
I was paying a cleaner to come by and do my floors about once a week, but eventually realized that for 2.5 months worth of cleaning I could replace her with a "Braava" floor cleaning robot.

(I do feel a little sad about it, she's sweet and I see her all the time when she cleans other units in the building…)

> If you normally eat 3,000 calories/day, and cut it to 2,000 calories/day, you won't necessarily lose weight

You're absolutely correct, because what you said has nothing to do with what the article said.

What the article said: If you normally put 10 gallons in your car every day, but you only burn 5, you need to put in less than 5 every day to make sure you will eventually run out (ie lose weight)

What you said: if you normally put 10 gallons in your car every day, but you only burn 5, cutting down to only 7 gallons a day doesn't mean you'll run out eventually (i.e. lose weight).

In conclusion: It doesn't matter how much you've been eating, it only matters that from now on you eat less than you're burning!
/u/wolrah's links[0] are a great place to start reading up on this. A root CA intending to distribute SSL certificates will have to adhere to all of the CA/Browser Forum requirements documents, plus the additional requirements imposed by each of the browsers for entry into their individual trust stores (the Apple/Google/Mozilla/Microsoft links included).

To do this, you'll need to stand up an offline root CA in a secure location, then create an issuing CA that will issue certificates. That whole thing must be created ab initio in compliance with the requirements and be operated in compliance at all times. To demonstrate that, you'll then need to pay an outside, accredited audit firm to come in and attest that you're following the rules. They issue an attestation letter stating that they reviewed your operations and your assertion that you're following the rules is valid for the period of time you state: basically, you operate the CA for a period of time, then they come in and review your evidence for that period of time that shows you're doing the right things. The smallest they'll usually feel comfortable doing that for is typically sixty days, although you can get what's called a Point In Time audit that says "they were doing the right thing at this specific moment". Those audits will cover both the WebTrust for Certificate Authorities[1] requirements and the WebTrust for Certificate Authorities — SSL Baseline with Network Security requirements[2]. They overlap, but they're two separate attestation letters with two separate seals, for which you'll pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $75k-$100k for a root CA and its issuing CA.

Once you have your audits in hand, you can apply to each of the trust stores for admission through the Common CA Database[3] that all of the trust stores are slowly gravitating towards. You'll have to supply all of your paperwork, the audit letter URLs, and all of the information about your CA for their deliberation.

The requirements (in particular the CA/Browser Forum reqs that are encompassed in the WebTrust with SSL Baseline) have some specifics around uptime, regular operations, separation of duties, and validation of security, so this is definitely a very full-time occupation: once it's going, you can't ever stop it or lose vigilance, or you risk losing your audit. Lose your audit, and you'll be pushed out of the browser stores.

Crazy how 20 years ago you could open an .EXE sent to you by email and it was just a silly Flash game.
Haters did not bring NoSQL down. Unrealistic promises brought NoSQL down, and people bought into it without ever actually benchmarking anything because everyone else was doing it too.
The autopilots flight envelope limits are somewhat artificial though. If you wanted to, you could design it to try and take over no-matter-what in the event of an ejection.

The biggest question I'd have is: What would you even want the auto-pilot to try and do after an ejection? Assuming it somehow gained full flight control, then what?
If true that's a huge coup! I'd guess that over 3/4 of paypal revenue comes from ebay.

What does that mean "reducing budget sheet?" Also, what is meant by long and short term interest? I thought the fed only set one universal interest target.
Yes, duh. You keep saying this like it's a revelation to people who're discussing which mechanisms are available to a) control how many calories consumed and b) control how many calories are burned, and c) what feedback loops exists between a) and b).

For a lot of people here, I suspect, it's like getting a lecture on if statements when discussing multi-threaded control flow.
I have had good experiences with items that cost over $50. They tend to arrive quickly. For instance, a tray of CPUs was shipped to me in less than 36 hours for $10 total shipping.

For me, it is the inexpensive items with free shipping that seem to be the most risky. I also probably bid on auctions rather than fixed prices items more than the average person.
They each have their teammates perspecties in their observations, so they are communicating in the sense that they all have the same data, so they can predict what their teammates will do without them actually talking.
This is a really interesting writeup, specially if you know a bit more about how Dota works.

That it managed to learn creep blocking from scratch was really surprising for me. To creep block you need to go out of your way to stand in front of the creeps and consciously keep doing so until they reach their destination. Creep blocking just a bit is almost imperceptible and you need to do it all the way to get a big reward out of it.

I also wonder if their reward function directly rewarded good lane equilibrium or if that came indirectly from the other reward functions
Those are really interesting statistics. Would be a good idea to look those up before traveling on business
I've been hearing this for years. It'll happen when it happens and no one can actually predict.

Qualities That Make a Successful Software Developer
Not sure if anybody else does it this way but sometimes I have to search for multiple sources or explanations of a given topic until I find one that "speaks to me".
The RISC-V CPU cores are open source. The other stuff on the chip is the same proprietary IP you find on any other silicon. The example given in the article is the DRAM controller, which they probably bought from the foundry.

I don't really see this as a ding against HiFive, per se. They only have so many engineer minutes to spend, and making a whole chip is hard. Someone needs to sit down and generate open source DRAM[1] and clock/PLLs and power gating frameworks and GPIO and ADC/DAC and I2C and SPI and flash[2] and USB and...

These guys are great and they make great products. We just need more. This is like writing an article in 1985 about how GNU isn't "really" open source because all this RMS guy has is an editor and a compiler.

[1] Which really means the analog signaling end, not the "controller" interface which is pretty simple.

[2] Particularly hard, given that the cell dimensions themselves are usually foundry trade secrets.
My point is that entirely open source has never been viable option outside some very limited uses. Coreboot is just different corner of "Not entirely open source".
Diseases had invading and conquering armies as vectors. While not purposely used as warfare per se, since larger pop meant larger tax base, armies often brought with them disease which affected the local pops.
It is a "bad idea" in terms of attackable footprint, although I don't think it was being called out as a bad idea in this page, more of clarification that the stated feature really doesn't exist in SSH.
How do you work with smooth functions without using reals?
Right, but opening from the keyboard is only a tiny fraction of what is needed. If I tab around on the display, I get a bunch of buttons that are likely column headers (I.e. "Status", "Transferred", etc.) but I never reach a list of actual requests through which I can arrow. I press Space on a button labeled "Start performance analysis" which immediately plunks focus into a text field from which I can't seem to escape. The entire developer tools interface is littered with these sorts of inconsistencies.

The HTML inspector is similar. I can pull up a tree of elements, but sometimes I can expand tree levels from the keyboard and sometimes I can't. I've taken to using the context menu to copy an element's inner HTML into a text editor, then inspecting it that way. Often, clicking Inspect Element from the context menu doesn't open the inspector with keyboard focus on the element I'm inspecting, either, which is a massive pain when I'm trying to tell a developer what is needed to make a site accessible. So, IOW, I can't even file actionable bug reports for web apps without putting forth lots of effort to even identify the element that is at fault.
If you ask the Keto people, they will say you can. But the point being made is to eat healthy real food. Sure you can be dumb about it, but it's a good starting place.

Yes, the human body is very complex and metabolisms and people are all different, but you can't really do too much about that. So just eat healthy, eat less, burn more calories. What else can you do?
All I have to say is WOW and congrats. That takes commitment!
Can you elaborate more? I'm out of my area here, but it seems like it's only foolish to say that the yield curve isn't an indicator of a possible recession if we can identify a specific mechanism that typically causes both inversions and recessions, and can also determine that that mechanism is not at play here.

Otherwise, it may be that the Fed reducing its budget sheet is irrelevant, or is a factor that is only exacerbating factors that were already at play, or even, perhaps, that short term yields exceeding long term yields actually causes recessions.
A bit off-topic: Not only is this incredibly impressive, it's a great white noise video, IMHO. Can listen to the robot cook do it's thing for a loong time. The Capsicum Sabzi video has a good amount of unintended ASMR, too:

I think it's reasonable to wait for the community to audit it, and to trust that. Popularity tends to include a certain amount of vetting by people who do have time, resources or knowledge.
Apple is ordering so many shows but nowhere to show them
A Fed chairman is never going to say, "Yup, there's a recession coming": the incentives of their position don't permit it. So they will always come up with reasons why a signal with a previous 100% success rate doesn't mean much now, but in the end, it always amounts to "This time is different", aka, the four most expensive words in history.
No matter what: if you eat below your BMR (basal metabolic rate), you WILL lose weight. The problem is that most people wildly miscalculate their BMR.

Your BMR is all the calories your body burns simply by existing. Throw a caloric deficit on top of that and you will lose weight.

Some people have ridiculously low BMR's that don't match their appetites. Some people with hormonal or thyroid issues might have a BMR of 1,000 calories. It sucks but it's true. Those people will be stuck overweight for life because it's pretty damn hard to eat under 1,000 calories for the rest of your life.

Other people have ridiculously high BMR's and really struggle to gain weight.

The key is finding your BMR through trial and error, and eating below that calorie rate or exercising yourself into a deficit.

> The same will happen to smartphones. You can already see it. Manufacturers trying so hard to invent features nobody needs, just to have an excuse to buy a new device.

Unfortunately, smartphones exist in this world where everyone has far tighter control over hardware/software integration. So, its much harder to run the latest software on an old smartphone than it is to run the latest software on an old PC.

Of course its not because the hardware is necessarily incapable, but more because everyone assumes they can get away with new market/platform/support rules "because mobile."
I'm not sure you're understanding.

> What the article said: If you normally put 10 gallons in your car every day, but you only burn 5, you need to put in less than 5 every day to make sure you will eventually run out (ie lose weight)

I'm saying that if you respond by putting 4 in your body, your body may respond by only burning 4 instead of burning its usual 5 -- and you don't lose weight. This is why weight loss can be so much more difficult for some people than others. (In practice, people trying to lose weight can feel a loss of mental energy, get cold easily and start wearing hoodies instead of t-shirts at the office, they no longer fidget, etc. -- there are lots of ways for your body to slow down in response to less fuel, and they don't always include weight loss.)
It would be interesting to see details of the performance issues motivating this.
On one hand, this article seems to make a lot of sense. OTOH, INTC is up 40% in the past year. It seems likely that there are quite a few parties out there who probably don't agree with this analysis.

Voyager 1 is already going about 17km/s. With no atmosphere or gravity to fight against you can keep accelerating as long as you have power.
Which isn't an answer to the question.

"The autopilot doesn't change its operational parameters to account for ejection." would be an answer, meaning it takes no account of it and continues as before.

Saying "it's programmed to do nothing" is very different: meaning it would stop, meaning it would be taking notice of the ejection.
There may be a markdown tool by that name, but in this case it's a specific brand of e-ink tablet that includes a stylus for drawing on the documents/note-taking/etc.

IIRC it supports PDF and presumably other ebook formats, but I wouldn't expect it to have any special tool for viewing markdown.
A Reinforcement Learning machine would have to be re-trained for changes such as that, but not from scratch. Depending on the size of the change, it would take much less time to adapt to such a change.

Several notes:

-The article notes that a lot of the hard parts of human video-game playing have been done 'for' the AI by hardcoding. It doesn't actually have to look at the screen to parse information--it has direct access to game variables that player would have to access through menus. More relevant to your question, a lot of the strategic decisions like item purchasing, ward placement, and probably character placement were just picked by the programmers or set to be ignored. The whole thing is less impressive than the headline sounds. I think it was just learning--where to run on the map and when to attack things?

-RL is based on deep learning, and there are fundamental issues with deep learning's ability to adapt to genuinely new scenarios. None of these system can presently adapt to something genuinely unprecendeted in a time frame you would consider 'safe'. They need at least several opportunities to observe how the world works after the changes and the consequences of their actions. To try to make this concrete--they can't reason about what implications a flood/power outage/landslide has for their traffic management. They can only learn from trial and error <-(the important part) how traffic behaves during a disaster.
My favorite part of all that is the fact the developers actually did develop lore and a back story for Doom 2016 that the player is then free to either explore or ignore. The attitude towards storytelling that they established is so much more impressive when you realize that they actually did put effort into making a story.
I prefer TL;DRs that give at least _some_ insight. In this case, the answer is short enough to not need a TL;DR.
That's why I would wait for other people to find that out, if I can't trust or audit it myself. Agreed that a brand new package from an unknown single developer is more risky.

As far as a trap with clever obfuscation, it sounds like any software we use could be vulnerable to that. It could be added as a patch to a seemingly routine update for any of the thousands of packages on your system.
