Governments have secondary returns -- VC coming from government generally has restrictions (i.e. the money has to be spent on employees). Employees pay taxes. Those people spend their money mostly locally. Even if every euro invested is lost, it'll still be profitable in most cases (because everything eventually flows back into the local economy).
Small nit: if the curve is continuous, should the y-axis be labeled density rather than probability? Closely linked: is anything being done to ensure the curve integrates to 1? I imagine the answer is "the scale changes as you draw", but that seems a bit confusing since drawing doesn't usually change the structure of the surface being drawn on.
A pokemon can be one (or two) of a bunch of different types like "bug" or "rock" or "ghost," each of which comes with a particular set of types it's vulnerable to (2x damage taken) and another set of types it's resistant to (0.5x or 0 damage taken). So no one pokemon has an advantage over all the others, and there's no 2-3-4-...-J-Q-K-A strength ordering for types.

You can also freely substitute among your team of 6, though subbing replaces your attack for that turn. If you anticipate the opponent using an attack of a particular type, you can sub in something resistant to that attack.

In single-player/story mode, you never encounter an opponent at the maximum level, and the NPCs tend not to build type-diversified teams, so the player gets a huge advantage in most battles by just grinding a couple pokemon of the right type.

We have implemented this methodology at Lambda School (YC S17 - https://lambdaschool.com) with staggering results. We only get paid if our students are hired making more than $50k/yr as a software engineer or data scientist, so we’re more motivated than most to try things like this, even if they’re expensive.

First, mastery-based progression. At the end of every week we have a “sprint challenge,” where a student builds a project using everything that was learned that week. If they didn’t grasp the material, instead of pushing them forward, they stay back and repeat that week until they have mastered it.

Of course, this is very expensive to do, and therefore will never be done in most classroom environments (you erode economies of scale), but we find that it’s worth it.

The results from that alone have been astounding. We don’t have a scientifically-designed study that shows a standard deviation increase (too many other variables are simultaneously changing), but the difference in student competence and ability at graduation was jaw-dropping.

The next aspect is probably an order of magnitude more expensive to implement - individual tutoring. We obviously can’t pair every student with a tutor all day (our instructors are experienced engineers and therefore very expensive), but we keep every student in a group of 8 students with 1 TA (a student who is at least 4 months ahead, performed well, and stays on for a short contract). Importantly those students are happy to be paid to review the material, and cost about 1/5 of what an experienced instructor does.

In such a small setting a TA can be there to individually work with a student (though for a little less than an hour a day).

Again, I don’t have any good way to scientifically prove this, but the level of ability our students have now at the end of our 30-week curriculum (which can become longer due to mastery-based progression) is incredible.

If you’re an engineering or hiring manager and want to try it out shoot an email to hiringpartners@lambdaschool.com and ask to interview a student who had never programmed before the 30 weeks to see what they can do.

I thoroughly believe Bloom’s 2 Sigma Problem is the most important study done in education... ever.

It's sad that a well paid person and probably smart person like Demis Hassabis is so wrong in his view about how the world is.

To quote the article quoting Hassabis, "The reason I say that is that if you look at the challenges that confront society: climate change, sustainability, mass inequality — which is getting worse — diseases, and healthcare, we're not making progress anywhere near fast enough in any of these areas."

Fortunately, that's not true, as is shown in Factfulness: http://a.co/d/cau5vUv

Most people who battle at a high level play on a simulator where any legal Pokemon is available to everyone, or alternatively use tools to 'hack' whatever Pokemon they want into the game. Some of the most popular strategies use Pokemon/Move combinations that were only available through events 10+ years ago, but since it's possible to transfer those Pokemon forward to the latest games those moves are available to use.

The exception is official Nintendo events, but most serious competitors at those will have a network of breeder friends to produce flawless Pokemon for them to use.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions about the competitive Pokemon scene, I was very into battling on simulator for a number of years and have a pretty good knowledge of the scene.

This.

The US housing market correction from 2006 was 30%. In this time, the US Fed funds rate went from 5.25% to 0.15% cutting banks' monthly cost for a $250k loan from >$1k/m to <$50/m.

In the meanwhile, median LTV has gone from 80% in 2007 to 95% in 2017 [1] and median loan sizes have gone from $175k to $325k. What happens when interest rates normalise and mortgage interest doubles?

The banks have been propped up but the risks have not left the system.

For foreign credit cards oftentimes entering 00000 or 99999 for zip code works.

The other thing that sometimes works is entering the digit part of your postal code and padding it out with zeros. Ex: if your postal code was 1A2B3C you'd enter 12300.
The AI can't always know if it's going closer to the next trainer if the next trainer is off-screen. There's also no visible counter of how many trainers you've defeated, only how many badges you have. If you're giving the AI knowledge of where and what a trainer is and how to get closer to one, why not give it knowledge of the map of the routes? Then your branching factor is binary: are you further along, or not?

That's not an AI beating Pokemon, that's an AI beating your decision tree.

In fact, if the AI knows what RNG it's on, it's deterministic. So all it needs is a script.

At one point in Gen 1 there are 4 gym leaders you can to get closer to. You can also go after one of two HMs. How can an AI determine success in that in a human timeframe?

Additionally, one failure mode is ending up with no money, a level 1 Rattata, and no pokeballs. The AI might not feel frustration, but its branching factor just grew again. And the branches have loops.

Edit: the crux of this is that it's not an AI (as described by Alan Turing) taking on Pokemon, it's ML. A general Pokemon-beating AI would need other tricks.
Yes, and the same applies to my example, even more extremely in fact. 12 hours of minimum wage would be around 100€, so 30-50€ is not even half of that.
I agree; your 1 in 2500 figure gives a slightly different picture of things... About 30x as many travelers being searched.

/* I guess adding mobile and computer searches is wrong though, since some sizable fraction of computer owners have a mobile and would thus have had both searched. So maybe 650-700 searches? Doesn't change the magnitude of the resulting figures much, I suppose. */
Disclaimer: I don’t have any experience living in China.

With that in mind, from what I get anything political or touching the PRC will be heavily scrutinized, anything else nobody will bat an eye.

In that respect, the fact we can discuss this freely is nice. But I’d be cautious to declare we’re freer than them just on that fact alone. I just don’t know.

Compound to that, the fact that we went through series of very serious crisis (the banking crash 10 years ago comes to my mind) with almost no long lasting structural change of the same order as the crisis, despite people’s engagement.

This to me brings the question: how much impact does free public discussion have on the real world ? Does it even have a real impact on public opinion ? Or are we just set in a sandbox, toying with whatever we want, while everything else rolls around ?

And sometimes it works.
You compare the effect sizes with the measurement uncertainty. For example if I wanted to conclude that a solenoid worked I could correlate piston position with applied voltage, and I might not need to worry about statistics because the motion of the piston is very large compared to the uncertainty in my implicit visual measurement of its movement. Admittedly that's not how anybody thinks intuitively, but it is correct.

The UK has two tax-efficient schemes for investing in startups: SEIS and EIS. For some perspective, if an 'additional rate taxpayer' invested £10,000 into your startup, they are only actually risking £2,750 due to tax relief (source: https://www.crowdcube.com/pg/seis-tax-relief-42). They get additional relief on capital gains tax.
Adaptive optics [0] takes care of atmospheric distortions. Combined with the huge telescopes that are possible on earth and impossible to ferry to space in the foreseeable future, advancements in sensors and data processing, which is also much, much easier on earth and at best possible with constraints / a long delay in space, I think earth based telescopes are still the future.

Special cases like the infrared spectrum (JWT) exist. But the delays show how extremely difficult space based observation is.

When exactly have diversity and choice become problems?

It’s a blessing that so many new languages are popping up. Those that have a reason to exist, will succeed, and the time spent on them will be an investment; those that will fail will do so for a reason. And that’s ok. Some people will have wasted their time. But not the community as a whole.

Failures are part of evolution. Thanks to failures we have Rust and Julia and Nim and who knows how many other new interesting languages.

Programming languages and libraries are not universally expressive or useful and are not of universally good quality. New independent languages and reimplementations are necessary to better express problems and therefore reduce defects and maintenance costs. They are also necessary for anything of quality to emerge, for all the right people to make all the right choices. Incidentally this is one of the reasons that prevents large projects from achieving good quality and large organizations from producing quality software.

> Complaining how rational actors work around roadblocks has no practical effect.

I'm not sure I agree with the 'rational'. If you are so short-sighted as a company that your main course of action boils down to 'piss off the user' while doing everything you can to skirt the law then you deserve to suffer the longer term consequences. Rationality should operate on all time-frames simultaneously.
When your business is to run a regulated economy, neglecting to censor the bad news would be a bad sign for your investors.

"Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient" as determined by a government or private institution"

The definition is pretty clear, and TFA pretty clearly meets that definition. You're not being downvoted simply because people disagree with your point of view, you're being downvoted because you're using alternative party-approved language which subverts the discussion.

To put it really bluntly, your comments match the heuristic of what people would consider propaganda trolling.

How can you have great results but not be able to prove it? I see this perception coming up again and again, and it has, in my experience, always been due to 2 factors: the time has not been taken to determine a study design; or the improvement doesn't exist.

I'm not saying your method doesn't work, but surely if it is your business you could take the time and money to prove it (i'm in a similar situation with mine, although in the health space no-one trusts you unless you can publish, which raises a whole other set of problems - ie shitty studies)
Bad spin.

By saying "Jobs did it, but it's kind of ok", the author is giving license to every self-styled Jobs wannabe that thinks they are headed for greatness.

See, I'm being absolutely cynical and tongue-in-cheek here, but my understanding about the modern law is that lawyers aren't fighting for the "truth" or "common good" nor they are in the "righting wrongs" business.

Their only job is doing whatever the client wants done. A _good lawyer_ wins a case even when it's total bollocks. The fact that it is bollocks is not a concern at any level.

I don't think that a stable population level requires mass starvation or some such thing. Most of the developed world is already at zero or slightly negative population growth, all it required was birth control. (A technology, to your point).
That's not true, if a piece of economic information would be damaging to Trump it would likely get even more coverage.
You many want to research a bit how these cartels work. Kids grow around down, they are part of the society around them and a central point of it. They couldn't survive any other way.

You have a kid that grew up thinking (not without a reason) that there's no better way than that do what the boss says. It will die to protect him. "Oh that kid is just a criminal, kill him!". In many cases, places where these cartels thrive are places where they locally can do better job than the government does.

I don't think that taking out the highest figure simply solves the problem. It wouldn't change much on the long run and on the short run highly increase the violence.

But more importantly, it seems extremely rare, that you could make a world a better place simply by killing somebody or a bunch of people. It's easy to think that, and a HN comment is too short to dive into that, but when you take time to think everything through, it seems far from obvious.
basically, yes.
but it's fine, it's an economy model based on waste. A redistribution from the rich to the rich.
And the flaw with your perspective is that if we all followed this advice, we might have a few highly polished bullet proof C libraries to use, but we'd still be stuck writing C and following all of its paradigms.

I learned a little OpenCL a few years ago just because I wanted to see how GPUs were programmed. I tried several books:

- Heterogeneous Computing with OpenCL (http://www.hds.bme.hu/~fhegedus/C++/Heterogeneous_computing_...) - informative but not many examples

- The Art of Multiprocessor Programming (https://www.amazon.com/Art-Multiprocessor-Programming-Revise...) - I had a hard time getting traction with this book.

- OpenCL Parallel Programming Development Cookbook (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ESX1AH2/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?...) - Not a great reference but it had some easy to follow examples.

- Actually a few other books you might find when searching for parallel processing or parallel algorithms which just turn out to be entirely abstract math books.

People would ask my why I wanted to learn to program on a GPU and I didn't have an answer. Surely I would find an answer in one of those books. I saved a few of the projects:

- Edge detection (https://mega.nz/#!LJUwmLSa!dRijnB1xVhI9RAC1Xac_xRhT2IsfDG2sJ...) - fun!

- GPU template (https://mega.nz/#!yAsxATzb!Y4-9zRMCTSYHX1pKxWPQPl8WNDgnWkSAU...) - write GPU code with JavaScript

I have another one for bitonic sort somewhere (a parallel sort that sadly isn't even as good as quick sort).

The projects I enjoyed most were image filters (like edge detection). You could do a project that implements various image filters. If you did that you would not only get experience writing CUDA but you would learn how a lot of different filters are done.
Distribution of assets or distribution of consumption? I would argue the former is a complete red herring and if one is to be concerned about any inequality, it's inequality of consumption.
