Probably, though it could also be a way to say "The language in which algorithms from 'The Book'[1] are written."

It would be fun if quantum computing were equivalent to classical (less fun -- probabilistic) models with comparable complexity, just more intuitive. I guess lots of complexity conjectures can be phrased that way, though -- P vs NP for sure.

Since you are posting on HN and I'm guessing you are technically minded, you might find this really interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai2HmvAXcU0 - it's a video from a documentary about the development of the Boeing 777. Specifically, the video shows a test where they bend/stress the 777 wings to the point where they actually snap.

Spoiler alert: they snap at orders of magnitude more flex than you've ever seen.

Even for very severe turbulence (like you experienced), it's very comforting for me to know (via that video evidence) that even if I haven't seen turbulence this bad, the people that made the airplane definitely thought about it.
The "tutorial" seems to be just copy/paste from the project's github wiki
You could try living in a place in the direct flight path of a small regional airport. Sounds awful I know but I actually kind of liked it for the time I was there. The airport wasn't huge so the noise was not constant, tended to taper down and end at night, and got some great views of the bellies of planes a couple hundred feet over your house coming in for landing.

I was afraid of flying at the time, but was never particularly scared of a plane crashing head first into the house oddly enough. In fact during the time I lived there I got quite into watching Mayday/Air Crash Investigation episodes. Pretty morbid considering.

I lived there for several years, and while I'd like to say that not a single plane crashed in that time, one actually did. It was a small 2-seater prop plane, lost height and crashed into the woods a block away from the house. No survivors. I did not witness the crash as it happened but I did sneak into the area and take pictures of the wreckage (thankfully crews had already removed the bodies). Quite a thing seeing the torn off landing-gear of the plane sitting upright on the ground.

Anyway while I'm sure that tangent didn't help you feel any better, for me the fact that constant commuter air traffic crossed my house for years on end (mostly) like clockwork made me feel a bit more confident about not dying in a plane crash if I ever did fly again (which I finally did, quite relaxing actually). Still not sure how I'd feel about flying on a tiny single-engine prop plane or the like though...

Usually Wine is actually running older games better than recent Windows.

If not - you can check for errors and file some bugs. It would help developers know there are issues.

If they are an actual monopoly, their biggest risk is not being involved in writing those regulations. Eventually the public will force legislators to act and they're not know for taking measured responses once the public outrage reaches a certain threshold. That's why telecom companies like Comcast are so successful at forming local/regional monopolies - they have relationships with people from the city planners up to mayors and governors so whenever new regulations are written, they're very involved.
You have a very interesting world view.

>The two girls are equally meritorious yet only one will get admitted.

>To me merit is something that comes from within, not from without.

>but that knowledge isn't itself merit.

I don't get your definition of merit. The crown prince might be given every advantage be that doesn't mean when the king dies the crown prince is best qualified to rule. History is full of examples. Thus because the crown prince will become king regardless of his current ability when the king dies it is not a meritocracy.

In the book Player of Games the Azad society plays a game called Azad. A person's rank in society is determined by how well they play the game in the "annual" tournament. People who are able to be better trained on the game perform better and thus have a higher rank in society. From how you have spoken, I think you would count this training as privilege and not something that increased merit.

If we had a similar test that accurately predicted future success and job applications were decided by this test, would that be meritocratic? Would that change if parents were able to send there kinds of a special $10k/yr school that significantly increased their children's results on the test? Either way, what is your reasoning?

Agreed. For decades, wages have not outpaced inflation for the majority of workers. Don't expect the trend to reverse any time soon.

The number isn't inflation adjusted. The increase is 2.8, inflation was 2.9.. and the BLS has constant dollar version of this same report, and it indicates pay decreased by -0.1%.
https://www.bls.gov/web/eci/ecconstnaics.pdf

WSJ decided to run with the non-inflation adjusted numbers, and then wrote an entire article saying workers got a pay increase... which they didn't. This is cherry picking at its finest. I'm actually flagging this.
I want to add onto this....

Blender is an amazing product being used by a ton of professionals, but a lot of people in the CGI industry don't admit to using it because it is free.

Because of this weird echo chamber of "Blender Shame" you have people who actively promote how cool Blender is, which is not always a conscientious reaction, but still stems I think from this reputation fight that Blender is in.

I think the whole PC MASTER RACE joke was a similar response to Apple snobbery.

>> IBM uses special and completely unintuitive names for basic concepts…. because OF COURSE THEY DO.

> As I recall, it's called "Bluespeak", and that sort of thing is pretty common actually.

How much of that is because they invented terms for these concepts before our current terms were coined or became ubiquitous? It might be easy to forget, but IBM was once at the cutting edge of computing. They coined terms, others coined rival terms, and it wasn't at all clear whose terms would be ubiquitous in 2018. IBM changing to adopt another computing culture's terms would be akin to metrification: expensive, short term pain to abandon a good-enough system to achieve distant long-term benefits.

> The statement which I responded to, that capitalism begets fraud as a feature of capitalism, is wholly untrue. Fraud exists in any economic system, and the punishments for any crime, whether economic or otherwise, have nothing to do with an economic system. There isn't any other rational response to your claim.

You're projecting an argument onto me that I didn't make nor claim to have. I didn't suggest or imply that all forms of capitalism uniquely generate fraud. They do exist in every system. You're angry with my phrasing not sufficiently hedging your concerns. You're also strictly wrong about how legal and regulatory systems impact economic systems. It's neither true nor true of how the literature evaluates said systems.

> My stance is that economic self-interest is broadly irrefutable, it doesn't require perfect rationality or all (perfect) information.

I think you're wrong, and overreaching with econ-101. This is like saying "Supply and demand is never violated." It's violated all the time.

If we're in the league where "I cite a magazine article" is considered to be a useful citation proving your point, then I cite all of Dan Ariely's work meant for consumption by lay-folk.

The Handwriting of Famous People
I stopped upgrading at version 4.14, in 1997. I think version 5 added layers and some other complexities that I just didn't care to deal with.

Eventually, I added Gimp to my "arsenal" for occasional complex work, but that 20 year old Paintshop Pro is still my daily driver for quick graphics stuff. Runs fine on Windows 10.

Amazing piece of software and Minnesota!
The question is, which human drivers?

Let's say we have a self-driving car that is as safe as the 20th percentile human driver. Do we allow that self-driving car on the roads? Do we selectively revoke licenses from 1 out of every 5 drivers and replace them with a car that's at least as safe as they are if not probably safer? Do we replace breathalyzer interlocks for drivers with DUI convictions with an AI driver and just revoke their licenses permanently?

There isn't a trivial solution to this problem. At some point, some AI driver is going to cause an accident that would not have been caused by a 95th percentile human driver. At the same time, human drivers do shit like this all the time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oidHSzukSss
There is a extremely successful version of this model, actually.

It's called Reddit. On Reddit, you give 1 person dictatorial power over a given community, and allow anyone to make their OWN community if they don't like the rules.

There are a multitude of examples of people not liking the rules, and forking off to form their own community.

It is the best way IMO, to give people freedom of choice to live with the rules that they prefer.
Photoshop has a true proffesional app learning curve.

Once you learn how to do something in it, it makes sense as to why.

GIMP on the other hand, once I learned how to do something, I still hated it.

Then again GIMP makes simple things like pasting a major confusing pain.

It's not common anymore fortunately, but as recently as five years ago most biology journals were very preprint unfriendly and considered trying to publish a work already on a preprint server as a scam similar to republishing a journal article. Things are finally trying turning around, although preprints in biology are still very rare as opposed to those in CS or physics.

As far as #1 goes, I'm arguing that plaintext is the ideal to strive towards, not the living practical reality. As far as indexing and access, the Gopher protocol and Teletext are great options to look at.

As previously noted, if you don't find that waste is fundamentally wrong on a moral level, there's no point forward from here. I view myself on a planet of dwindling resources, vanishing biodiversity, and warming at increasing rates.

If you think the energy that goes into computation is free or lacking external environmental downstream effects, then at the root of it, you carelessly shit where you eat and I don't. That's a fundamental disagreement.

I don't think it is a horror story. If true, it would be a way to deal with the past. I think this is a standard in religion, to walk a way on which you deal with your own past up to a state of completion.

I can see that a dealing with a now unwelcome Christian past is a theme in Wicca, because it is a Western movement. Therefor most practitioners would have a Western past in one way or another.

If it is not too costly for you and you can find something out, I would be thankful. Maybe even only a comparison with other existing Wiccan rituals to deal with the past.
What makes you think the number of white supremacists is small? The definition of "white supremacist" isn't "stupid looking shield in one hand and tiki torch in the other". Everybody who believes that African Americans are on average less intelligent than "white" people is, prima facie, a white supremacist; that's what the term means.

There's been an effort (online) in the last year to shift the semantics of the term, so that "white supremacists" might refer exclusively to performative white supremacists. That's pretty Orwellian, and there's no evidence it's catching on. I don't see a reason to dignify the effort. The term means what it obviously means.

This result is really a benefit for startups building on Filecoin-type platforms, not for FAANG companies that are already at scale. Reducing the barrier to creating good recommendation algorithms is an import step in re-democratizing the web.
I'm not sure about specific tutorials, but you could look into MobX, Apollo, Minimongo, and other reactive client-side data stores.

This is a super interesting article. Here are some interesting bits.

- Miles driven per needed human intervention 2017, Waymo: ~5700; GM: ~1300; Nissan: ~250, everyone else sucks at around 100.

- Tesla is not talked about at all, surprising considering Elon is constantly saying it's around the corner.

- Waymo has an Uber / Lyft esque app that the customers testing it's pilot program are using.

- Waymo's showing (not charging) prices similar to Lyft and Uber ($1.70/mile). An analyst thinks without paid drivers they could go as low as 70¢/mile, and only 35¢/mile by 2020.

- Waymo is only testing is places with perfect weather.

- Waymo plans on launching their first location for a ride hailing service by the end of 2018.

That's the one, though even in the writeup they mention that you can't get very far into the game with it. It's too bad; it's like an interactive version of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf".

Wine definitely is better for older games 99% of the time, this one is just something that was incredibly picky even when it was new. I've bothered them to ask if they'd open source it or let me port it with me signing an NDA, but they haven't responded.
I totally believe it.

If you've ever taken a taxi in a market like South Africa, China, or Chile, it's so cheap it's insane. Almost unbelievable.

In many cases the cars are more or less the same, the gas costs more or less the same, so the only variable that's different is the cost of labor which Waymo eliminates.
Having multigenerational wealth is actually very uncommon and hard to do. I wish them luck.

The evidence of weapons of mass destruction was not verifiable by anyone else. Evidence of manipulation on social media is.

Is everything stated by an intelligence agency true? No. Is everything false? No. So you evaluate the claims they make. This isn't complicated.
That seems a bit passive aggressive. I don't think economical value is what is in question, but rather the social impact of the application (or lack of positive social impact).

Applications can be both economically valuable and have positive social impact. Now recommender systems are in fact useful to discover new things, not just to entice people to buy more. E.g. finding new music, related research, or other things.

Startup JITX Uses AI to Automate Complex Circuit Board Design
The issue isn’t that it’s “don’t touch if you don’t know what you’re doing”, it’s “you can’t touch this at all, even if you might know what you’re doing or be willing to accept the consequences of your experimentations”
I do. It's a fingerprinting risk, if nothing else.
From experience of having to add a full blown scripting language to two large domain-specific professional GUI applications in the 90's, and at the risk of upsetting the HN LISP crowd, you should go for something with a broader appeal/base than LISP and similar languages.

LISP and languages of the same ilk are extremely powerful and esthetically pleasing for CS-minded folks, but they are also and unfortunately rather off-putting for the wast majority of technical, non-CS folks (which IUUC is your target audience).

I'd go for Python, in spite of the lack of typing: easy to integrate, massive amount of libraries, very flexible.

An at the risk of committing blasphemy, I have to mention that the EDA folks seem to have a terrible addiction to TCL, which therefore makes it something you may want to consider.

My opinion of course, the best would be to poll your target audience.

> NYT needs to know how long you spent, on which articles, etc. They need data to produce the product and you can only achieve that with javascript tracking pixels (Server logs aren't good enough).

This just seems like such an abuse of what the web was meant to be. I can imagine the horror people in the 90s would have experienced if they new what JS was going to be used for when perusing news sites.

Sometimes I wonder if it would have been better keeping the web as a document platform without any scripting, and creating a separate one for apps.

Anyway, an alternative model news sites could use is to let users choose which content they want to pay for. That's a way to track which content users prefer.
Also easily disproven by comparing the site then to now.
>Trucking: Waymo has outfitted several Peterbilt Class 8 semi trucks with autonomous packages. The hardware is exactly the same as what’s used on its Pacifica minivans, and Krafcik says the software is 95 percent similar

Is that 5% the 5% that lets them pick routes that don't include under-height structures , stupidly sharp turns, highly congested areas, or other places one generally prefers to not be driving something larger than a panel van?

If so I highly look forward to the eventual (and already severely overdue considering how trivial the problem is) release of this feature to their consumer facing maps product.

Yes, I'm kind of annoyed that it's 2018 and I can't just check a checkbox that says "avoid known under-height structures"

>The experience of riding in a Waymo is surprisingly mundane. The robotaxi drives like a very careful human

I would really like to know how careful they mean. There's a fine line between a good chauffeur for grandma and being so timid that anyone capable of driving themselves would be very frustrated with its performance and people would honk or make obscene gestures at you regularly

What do you think is the difference between a pre-print and the published version? Let me tell you - it's zero difference except for the page number is added.
Usually for these things, I find going to the original source is much more informative than relying on the media. Here [1] is the report from the BLS. It does mention distribution. You can see it for each profession group here [2].

The group "management, business, and financial" saw a 2.5% increase. Sales and office occupations saw a 3.5% increase. Service occupations saw a 3.3% increase. "Accommodations and food service" saw a 3.1% increase. Anyhow, plenty of other information available as well but this definitely looks very good.

It's -0.1% real wage increase. The only reason the raw number is positive is because inflation is higher than it has been for a while.

So, congratulations, Trump has accomplished inflation with nominal wage growth almost keeping up with it.
