I tried to quit smoking with earlier vapes and failed because I wasn’t really addicted to the nicotine at all. I eventually figured out how to quit, but it was the burning plant matter that had me hooked more than what you can get in a bunch of tomatoes.
Thanks very much for the kind words!

Perhaps you can ask the professor for who has the copyright on ABEL now? So we can ask the holder if it can be open sourced.

Miracles like this do happen - last year Symantec allowed the Symantec C++ compiler to be fully open sourced!
Not just that, but there was a genuine effort to make programming more like connecting together components on a board.
I wonder if enough bees to pollinate the trees could survive on just being left alone in a almond orchard year round? The almond farms could have hives they leave in their orchards and don't extract the honey so the bees have lots of stored energy. This is the reason the bees make honey in the wild, a stored energy source. Hire a few bee keepers to keep an eye on things and fix problems. No moving around of diseases, stable source of bees, low cost? I know it is all the trend to outsource everything but bees seems pretty core to a fruit/nut tree operation.

Great visualization, thanks for these! On a side note, I find it funny that this image takes 16x more space than the actual game of super mario.
There's also S-ASIC's like eASIC provides on 45nm and 28nm. What do you think about that in today's market?

(No affiliation. I find this option interesting with the varied responses I get on the topic. Triad Semi was another interesting option in this space.)
Thanks!

I could probably write something, but the world wouldn't let me enjoy it. So I languish in pointless tech jobs producing executable web fluff that lives between the browser and the database ('middleware'), that will go into the trash in less than five years, because you're supposed to pantomime productivity in exchange for food and shelter.

Whelp! Back to the treadmill!
Better still, jam all GPS, GNSS, GPRS and 3G and 4G signals, along with 2.4, 5 Ghz and LoRa bands just to be sure. Specialized car thieves are already doing it, hive thieves probably not yet. Tracking and removing the tracker is more difficult and can be done later.
@matts_ramblings approach is great to get a perfect authoritative reference we can use to test and/or train other tools.

Other tools mapping the Super Mario Bros. levels:

1. animmerger [1] by bisqwit

Written in C++.

Takes png images as input.

This tool seems to be the reference in creating level maps for Super Mario.

Matt's tool seems to use animerger to generate the color palette according to the source code [2]

2. ALMA [3] by BZH314 (disclaimer: our baby project)

Matt mentions using this approach as a possibility in the post.

Written in Python using the OpenCV [4] computer vision library.

ALMA takes videos as input, generates the map levels as images (png and animated gifs) and also generates the videos to show the algorithm in action [5]

(shameless self plug: need more YouTube subscribers to get that sweet sweet vanity URL please :-)

ALMA applies background subtraction to remove the moving enemies in order to keep only the background (a problem Matt's tool does not have)

3. Manually stitched

If you're looking for good SMB1 level maps stitched manually, there are some good work out there:

You had me at, "You had me at "Hello World"".
All i'm saying is that i liked your short vision of a possible reality, and i'd love to read even a short story about it. Hell, i'd _write_ a short story about it, although i doubt my english is good enough for anything beyond simple small talk; i envy people with more imagination than i have. That being said, why are you starving, man? I've gone through some of your comments, and it seems you are having some sort of trouble with the mind parasites. I have no idea whether it is possible to pm on hn, but, should you need an anonymous ear, i've been told i am a good listener. Otherwise, i just want to tell you that if you put your mind to it, you will find the source of power inside of you with some help or without, and things are going to work out. Oh, and read mind parasites if you can - it has helped me with my depression quite a bit.

Yes, luck plays a part. The trick is to keep rolling the dice.

What worked for me was microcommitments. I committed to putting 15 minutes on whatever I felt I wanted the most.

At first, I spent a lot of it on game development. Eventually realized that I wanted another side project, involving training.

Microcommitments helped a lot. If I committed right away to deep work, I would have spent hours and days planning and building something I didn't really want to and burning myself out. But with 15 minutes, I learned quickly this was not what I want, this isn't working, partly because I need to do something else first.

It's tempting to sit around filling up a database for a day, designing tables and classes, and calling it deep work. But it's not really.

See this recent survey article: https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.10377

Briefly, a fully fault-tolerant quantum computer could give a square-root speedup for Bitcoin's proof-of-work, and could completely break its elliptic-curve-based signature scheme. Both issues could in principle be fixed by migrating Bitcoin to quantumly harder problems, though in practice doing so could open up security holes of its own. This hasn't been done, but I think maybe there are other cryptocurrencies trying to use quantum-secure crypto from the outset? Googling just now, I found something called "Quantum Resistant Ledger" (https://theqrl.org/) -- does anyone here know more about what's out there?

Let me stress that none of this is a concern with the QCs of the near future, which will have at most a few hundred decent qubits and no error correction, and which will not be able to threaten Bitcoin or any other cryptography.

You mean instead of using the TCP stack included in the kernel, you want to write your own? You could use raw sockets (described in man 7 raw) for that (but note that they require elevated privilege). Use socket(PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_TCP) to get a raw TCP socket, then send and receive TCP packets as raw bytes over the socket.

I found an example demonstrating the approach here: http://www.tenouk.com/Module43a.html

There's no clear relationship between P vs. NP and the Riemann hypothesis, except that the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH) would let you derandomize certain randomized algorithms, and also Mulmuley's Geometric Complexity Theory (a speculative approach to P vs. NP using algebraic geometry and representation theory) involves some of the same mathematical objects that were used to prove the analogues of RH over finite fields.
If you're already "serverless" (or want to be), it's not that easy to just "add a process". Usually if you're running a process, you're maintaining one or more virtual servers, which can be a lot more operational overhead than a Lambda.

Having said that, I agree that there seems to be an inordinate amount of effort/thought going into keeping Lambdas "warm" (i.e. always running).

I think the prevalence of these hijinks indicates that AWS Lambda should consider adding a "keep running" option that ensure the particular function is always "warm", but costs a bit more.
In theory this sounds great. So I wonder why it's not implemented? Perhaps it results in lower profits for bee keepers since they have to bring up more hives to service the same number of customers?

Isn’t it amazing disembarking the plane into AZ? Instantly it’s 98F+ on the jetway, and the plane absorbs a large portion of that as they ask you to close the window shades on landing.

When is something with two wheels not a bike anymore? I imagine you would use a mass cutoff right? Or visual size?

Ha, i'm adding "Bilbo Baggins phrasing" to my repertoire.
Looks to me like the tradeoff is between hiring/paying local beekeepers to tend hives as needed year-round, or paying $200/hive to ship in hives from elsewhere during the flowering season. The latter probably ends up being less expensive, as long as there's enough supply.
Don't mobile radio signals disturb the bees? Maybe beehive trackers could use LoRa instead of 3G.
I don’t understand this trope that ISPs don’t invest in network upgrades. A decade ago you 25 mbps was the fastest Comcast offered. Today, Comcast is rolling out gigabit around the country. What else has gotten 40x faster/better over the last decade? Even your iPhone CPU has gotten maybe 10x faster in that time. Maybe the GPU has improved that much.
I'm constantly learning new things that to people from other fields would be freshman-level trivialities! The most recent such example would need to be something I learned today. For example, maybe a little tidbit that I picked up from Sanjeev Arora's STOC'2018 tutorial on deep learning (where I was this morning): it turns out, backpropagation is just a dynamic programming algorithm for calculating a gradient in time linear in the size of the network, improving over the quadratic time that one would've needed naively.

I feel bad that I rarely have the time (or willpower!) to do exercises anymore, though I'd probably benefit if I did.
Why??? Why on earth would you want to bias a reader and make him/her prejudicial to ideas. The whole point of rational inquiry is to dispassionately asses ideas on their own merits. This is why we have double-blind review. And at any rate, the truth or validity of ideas is in no way related to the personalities behind them. That's logic 101. So why would you want to encourage prejudice and bias?

"Moreover, I can't imagine any prominent criticism with anti-semitic subtitle in the late 50s in France."

france in the 50s still hadn't had a deep look in the in the atrocities of the collaboration, and as an example maurice papon was Paris chief of police under de gaulle. antisemitism wasn't the main focus and it was still very common for people to make horrible comments on jews out in the open ( ask any jew that studied in Paris in the 60s). France really took a strong stance against antisemitism and racism in everyday life much much later.

In the 50s and 60s the main concern was to rebuild the country and reach political stability. Racism and antisemitism were really not.
Remote systems could throw an alert if the tracking devices go dark past a timeout period. At a minimum, authorities could be quickly alerted with the last known location of the hives.

I imagine that programming QCs will be a lot like programming classical computers, except with an additional body of technical knowledge that one needs to master. In that respect, it will be a lot like 3D graphics programming, or crypto programming, or AI programming, or compiler programming. And much like with those other types of specialized programming, even in a world filled with useful QCs, I imagine that only a minority of programmers would really need to understand how to interface with them.

Everyone: OK, I'm going to sleep now, since I need to catch a flight tomorrow morning. I'll try to answer a few more questions on the plane, but then I'll probably call it a day (or rather, two days :-) ). No additional questions please. Thanks for all the interesting questions!
No sweat. I have seen some native English speakers misspell it the same way. It's not just the spelling that counts. Thanks for posting this article.
I don’t think you can really do that. Jamming mostly targets a receiver. Disrupting the signal that’s emitted by a tracking device would make you really easy to triangulate and find.

> poverty ... defined as the share of the population living on less than half the national median income

This is not necessarily poverty, it is just a measure of income inequality. If we read Wikipedia [1]:

> In Japan, relative poverty is defined as a state at which the income of a household is at or below half of the median household income ... According to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the mean household net-adjusted disposable income for Japan is US$23,458.

Half of that is $11,700 and while living on that can be tough, I am not sure if that can be called poverty. Also, there is a minimal wage of 736 yen/hour (in the poorest regions) which is 117760 yen/month or $1063. So if a household has an income of $1000/month it means that one of two people is slacking off instead of working.

For comparison, in Estonia minimum monthly wage is 500 Euro (585 USD), in Russia it is $286 in Moscow and Saint-Petersburg and about $150 in other regions. Earning $1000 a month looks like a luxury for most people outside of two largest cities.

It is also important to remember that the climate is much warmer in Japan than in Russia so the the life should be cheaper, you don't have to pay for warm clothes and central heating.

So they're fictional in that regard -- whether they're interpolating the position on the great-circle path as a percentage of the actual track distance flown and remaining from the real navigation data, or doing something even more fictional, I don't know.

Very interesting. Thanks for the detailed answer. Next time I'll make sure to record the position information independently as well. For some reason I had just taken their great-circle path at its face value and never questioned it. In hindsight, it was all too perfect. :)
