This isn't a binary classifier, they're trying to determine the user who posted a given set of tweets among a certain set of Twitter users known to contain that user. The terms "positive" and "negative" don't apply to that kind of non-binary problem, and neither do precision and recall. Accuracy is a completely appropriate measure of performance in this case.

Precision and recall can be useful for multi-class classification problems, but only if there's a "background" class for negative results. E.g. if you're evaluating a cancer detector, then you might care about it's precision when detecting any cancer vs. no cancer, but then the classifier has been reduced to a binary decision. It's also sometimes useful to focus on a certain class (e.g. skin cancer) to see whether the classifier has difficulties with that specific one, but again that's treating the multi-class classifier as a binary classifier.

While your point stands, you may be interested to know that a company actually successfully sold a patent for jpeg at some point, and made about $100M doing so. So I wouldn't say nobody made money on jpeg !

But it's also interesting for the OP, maybe there's something patentable in there ?

Yep, and that's the argument that the registrar made in this case, and the court agreed.

Edit:

Well, technically, the court agreed that you cannot be compelled to provide this information.

However, I don't see why not one could voluntarily provide this information, in which case providing invalid information would still probably be a breach of contract.

Sometimes the key is taking a new approach and that is what makes the difference.

I am old and remember at the time Google was started the thinking was get them to your site and keep them on your site.

It is all about engagement. Well Google did a complete 180 from the conventional thinking and instead tried to get them their answer quick and send them on their way. Or the exact opposite industry thinking.

Google since has done the same with several others things in the business realm like this example but even far more in the technical realm. Where they did 180 from the conventional wisdom and their approach turned out to be the better approach.

I have often thought why Google is able to do this while most companies struggle with unique thinking or coming up with new solution? I can only explain it is because of culture and there must be someway they can tell in the interview process.

But be curious on why others think Google is able to do this in a consistent manner? What is the ingredient that makes it possible?

Or is because there is no penalty for trying and failing at Google so they get the attempts?

A perfect example as I type this is Fuchsia and in particular the Zircon kernel.
I would imagine having the tools to shape your own behavior would pay divedends well beyond "learning some math".
I think smartphones are the right form-factor for this.

You can carry them arround, even do most stuff on the small touch screen.

The only problem is their interface.

You would need something better than USB or lightning. Something more like PCIe, to get a low latency connection to your other devices (ereader, laptop, desktop, tv, etc.) and the external devices could also offer your the resources that make them unique. I mean a bigger screen or different UI is cool, but the USP of a desktop is also its CPU/GPU that is much faster.

Awareness is relative. What you see in your formative years sets what's normal. Everything is relative to that. Older photos of abundance or massive piles of horseshoe crabs to be ground for fertiliser[0] are a strange alien world. People in their 20s are used to a lack of wildlife and consider it normal simply as that is what they grew up seeing, along with acres of monoculture in the "countryside".

The almost insolvable problem we have is everyone 60 or younger grew up with throwaway consumerism as "normal". My parents generation didn't. They had a fraction of my generation's environmental impact without any efforts to environmentalism. Simply they expected to buy something once then repair it if need be and replace when broken beyond repair. Not when something a little better gets released.

For all the huge increase in general awareness of the environment, when in the 80s the environment was something of the fringe, we're destroying it at an ever increasing rate. I'm not optimistic.

So, the thing that Microsoft called Continuum? If you had their Windows Phone-device, you could just hook it up to a big screen either via a docking solution or Miracast and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It worked quite good for some of the applications (mostly used Outlook and PowerPoint this way, also RDP to my "real" computer to use Visual Studio).
Quickly, quickly, we must flag this!
Microsoft sort of had this with Continuum. It was great and hardly anyone used it. Previously Motorola had the "lapdock", too.

or to put it another way - execution trumps ideation. A great idea executed badly (or even mediocrely) will still suck, but an average idea executed to perfection will have the opportunity to seize the market.
If you're referring to Forgent: they were patent trolls and their patent was invalidated due to prior art. Unfortunately not before a bunch of companies paid up.

Fraunhofer is a better example of an institute that made good money on tech patents with merit, as well as 3M and lots of other tech companies.

But as a rule these things are hard to monetize and while I'm not happy that it will be hard to monetize the work that went into this particular project at the same time I think it is good that patents are most likely a closed avenue.

Patents are - in my opinion - a net negative and the sooner they are abolished the better.
> the objective function ... is: maximize the time people spend watching stuff

Sure, but the real problem is how well it works. Humans eagerly eat it up because their behavioral heuristics aren't adapted and get gamed. Humans want it and enjoy it and can't get enough, even though it sucks up their time without tangible benefit.

Reducing the problem to "capitalism" is like saying the only problem humans have with opioids is that the Sacklers get filthy rich and therefore humanity would be fine if only everybody could get the stuff for free at a friendly neighborhood government drug outlet.
It should be noted that the concept of originality and its associated "mighty pioneer Vs lowly copiers" mindset is mainly a Western cultural artifact. For example in China during most of its history if you wanted to become, say, a renowned painter, you were expected to spend your formative years copying the masters, because in that culture mastering your craft is (much) more important than being original.

I don't hold originality in that much high regard for two reasons: first, it tends to downplay the part that's not original, and most of the time that's most of the product. Everything Is A Remix [1]. And second, I would have more respect for distinct products if they didn't result in endless copyright/patent extensions -- it becomes a bit too easy to say it was "your idea" if it applies to stuff created 60 years ago. At some point it should become part of the baseline, instead of undue revenue for rent-seekers.

You absolutely could, Opera browser was doing something (I think they proxied images and similar files) before it gets to someone's screen. If you can compress large images (and you'd have to know they're images cause you gotta render them right?) in such a way that they're not visually distorted it would be worth paying for.

The harder thing is trust, trusting you to not change any images. On the other hand that'd make for a fun VPN service for general browsing (but again then it comes back to trust) but if you target it as a browser plugin bundled VPN service that saves on bandwidth you could hit more of an audience and use that income to fund Browsh. I figure you dont want to get too far outside of that scope though (development wise) since it's a lot more work.

I also like the other ideas of using some of the Browsh capabilities to scrape the web, maybe as a paid API, sure you can write a script to do that, but if you can curl / postman an API that does it for you and returns what you need, then why wouldn't you? Trick is can an API be done just perfectly enough? How do you tell it to give you whatever part of the screen with whatever requirements? It could sound simple but get complicated quickly enough. If it's too complex maybe a compression VPN is a better target.

He and the OP are talking about a Bachelors degree though. Those are really geared towards fundamentals of computer science and not necessarily applicable skills to software engineering.

OP might want to look at very specific applied technology types of Bachelor programs, like Software Engineering, databases, networking, etc. if he has no intent on a Masters/PhD.
Rationality also keeps you from getting taken for a ride by failing for every last scam in the book. Productivity doesn't do you any good and probably not society getting siphoned. And that is before getting roped into doing harm to others intentionally or otherwise.

Personally I disagree with the mutual affinity incompatibility. If rationality is getting in the way it is for a reason - if you both like rowing and musical theater there is nothing to object to but if they are also say a serial killer to give a deliberately extreme example....

This does work, and is available in e.g. the Parsec library for Haskell, but

(1) can lead to exponential worst-case backtracking behavior.

(2) can produce very unhelpful error messages without careful engineering.

In this case, for list comprehensions, I think you can show that you won't have exponential backtracking behavior. But it involves carefully thinking about whether patterns can nest inside of expressions nesting inside of patterns nesting... etc.

It's probably still the best solution if you're writing your own parser, though.

Ask HN: Have you ever chosen Postgres over Mongo and regretted it?
The past 2 years seem to have been the death knell for Mongo and the "NoSQL" hype, with Mongo moving toward SQL parity and SQL databases supporting JSON storage, like Postgres with JSONB.

At this point it seems that there are very few workloads for which Mongo is the best option compared to Postgres+JSONB. I'm wondering...

1) Have you ever chosen Postgres over Mongo, and regretted it? Why? Did you end up switching to Mongo? Was it better?

2) Can anyone name a use case where Mongo is clearly a better choice than Postgres+JSONB?

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

- John Steinbeck

Are you temporarily embarrassed?

You may not realise it, but you could be a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. Do you plan to someday in the future have more money? Are you concerned that your taxes are too high, because someday you might pay too much tax. Do you ride the bus only because this year you can’t afford that luxury car you’re going to have? Do you live pay cheque to pay cheque like most people just because you haven’t had your lucky break.

The Pentium Gold processor used in the Surface Go is surprisingly robust. I would put it on par with the Core m3 series; not a powerhouse by any means, but for a productivity tablet it's more than up to the task.
Yes. I remember that. But that was a "phone". Close. But not the "universal computing device" I'm dreaming of.

Currently, nearly every device I have is massively underutilized because I'm chained to a fix UI (screen size) for a given moment / need.

p.s. Do you know if this new Surface (via some W10 feature?) will be able to serve as an extended monitor for my laptop. At home I'm used to an extra screen but on the road that's no possible. 10" would be better than nothing.
That's a good point, and maybe a solution lies in it.

When I read other comments about birds obscuring the sky, fishes you could caught by hand, etc. It seemed unreal, almost magical. A fairy tale on some Westeros-like world.

If we can use this narrative to astonish people, and make them get perspective on what should be, it can be a powerful message.

"Eat less meat", "recycle", "use less the car/plane" are not really sexy. They are constraints.

"Look how amazing things used to be before we did this", however, is much more inspirational.

This is awesome. I have been writing and re-writing several horrible regex-based parsers (https://github.com/erikpukinskis/parse-a-little-js) to back an IDE I am building, and I can sense I am well passed the “you need to learn how to do this properly, Erik) point.

So far this book seems to be just at the right pitch for my purposes.

Does anyone else have any recommendationed reading for someone like me? My absolute priority is keeping the code simple and having as few features as possible.

I’ve actually been using my ignorance as a design constraint... I don’t want to allow complex syntax in the editor, (it’s not a general purpose editor) and I want the parser source to be approachable.

But perhaps by this point I may have the resolve to resist the power a proper parser will give me.

Maybe it was changed, but the current title is "Crafting Interpreters". Interpreters are used for scripting languages, so not sure there's any valid complaint that programming language inside an interpreter book is synonymous with scripting language. That's like opening a book on algebra that mentions math and complaining it's not about calculus...
HP had their TC1100 back in 2004, and I loved it. It was a tablet XP computer with a separable keyboard and pen, and while not iPad/Surface levels of smoothness it was still amazing at the time. It wasn't MS hardware, but XP went to pretty great lengths at the time to make pen input a thing, so I guess that can count as part of their "pioneering" legacy.

Interestingly, here's a piece comparing the TC110 to the Surface Pro 3: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2363252/ten-years-after-hps-...

I agree that the UCI has been bad for progress. That being said, I raced in college (at the collegiate level, not professionally) and saw plenty of people using UCI-noncompliant bikes.

Historically, the UCI did use "safe design" as the metric -- they used it to exclude Graeme Obree, whose bicycle-cum-dishwashing-machine was probably safe enough for him to be riding on a closed track. That's not to say that the UCI should block innovative designs, just to note that they'll use any regulation supplied to restrict cyclists/companies/countries that end up on their naughty list.
