Surely there has to be a single learning algorithm for most of the skills a modern human learns. There has been no time to evolve specialized algorithms for things like chess, programming, riding a bike, etc., and yet we can easily learn these skills.
I've always been better with an "idea man" to work with. I'd be careful though with an inexperienced non-technical cofounder, as they tend to not understand the intricacies of implementation. Setbacks will happen, and I have seen non-technical cofounders place a ton of blame on the technical ones when things go wrong. A rift in the relationship could mean the end of the business.
Something different is sometimes sold now, and it is a poor substitute. Walmart seems to like selling it. Maybe you can identify it.

The visible difference is that it never becomes pure yellow. Little brown spots show up while the banana is still somewhat green.

The old bananas would be OK when pure yellow, wonderful with a sprinkling of small brown spots, and OK with lots of brown spots. The weird unripe flavor (sort of cucumber-like but hard to describe) goes away and the bananas become sweet, and then slowly they get mushy.

The new bananas don't ever get as sweet, don't ever lose that unripe flavor, and become mushy while still having a hint of green.

Well, I wonder about memories and associations formed around colors. After reading the article I was passing a tree lined street, thinking of what green has meant to me over more than 3 decades. What if it's not "real" green? What if it changed some day?

Also, I don't know, some people seem content with flawed senses. Eg. A lot of people with glasses seem to shrug it off and accept it. It doesn't cause them existential crisis. And that is a much more practically troubling problem than color blindness.

I don't fully understand it all but I don't think it is a hack. It's the "new way" to do x11 type applications. I'm not at liberty to read the article on Wayland right now (alone with the three kids tonight and bedtime looms...). But I remember reading and thinking it wasn't complicated to understand and that this way of doing things is the future.

It makes ChromeOS into a really powerful terminal. You can run stuff locally that's best to be run locally. Then you can run applications that don't run locally (like that need access to special hardware like a gpu) on the machine itself via x11 forwarding. It's very flexible and works.

As a separate issue from mine (faulty ChromeOS sound), currently you can't use the sound hardware inside the container. But that'll get fixed soon. Just means there is no way to run Linux music making apps yet.
The entire market seems to care about data rather than privacy.

From your smartphones to your cars to your watches to everything else, it seems like the economy is about getting as much information about you to advertisers/corporations/governments. And data collection looks to be accelerating if anything.

It's like the system is giving us the rope and we are mindlessly putting it around our necks.

One would argue that Linux has stalled OS evolution. It's free so there is no incentive for other innovators to come forward and invest massive resources and capital. The OS investment at all major companies had been drying up. Think about it, this is now almost 50 year old OS. There have been virtually not much of research, advancement or evolution even when *inux has several opportunities to rethink design and architecture in so many areas. To a common user, it's even hard to use, manage and understand but we are still stuck with it. We carry almost half a century worth of historical baggage with us every day with no end in sight. Here's interesting reading: http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/utah2000/utah2000.html

You will see this pattern virtually everywhere when free software has become standard and it brings to halt research and development in that area that may require large scale capital.

So this is like a weird form of victim blaming. Even if it wasn't, I think some blame rightfully lies with apple here -- they made tools (and accompanying documentation) that is so difficult to use correctly that a large swath of developers can't figure it out. And what's worse, they've forced this tool on every developer.

Disclaimer: I'm admittedly very biased towards cross platform approaches like Nativescript/React Native & Flutter vs taking time out of my day to learn and keep up with Google/Apple's latest "design language" and accompanying tooling. This makes me a terrible mobile developer (no sarcastic/snarky intent), but makes me a very productive developer who happens to have to make mobile apps that are "good enough" sometimes.
First author should be the person who did the work, that’s pretty strandard. Corresponding author doesn’t always need to be first author.

Honestly this does sound pretty terrible. The student doesn’t have to publish, and you don’t get to misrepresent yourself as first author if they don’t want to.

Really really want to be first author, redo the work yourself. That’s the only way you can claim credit (and responsibility) for having done the work.
Content exclusivity makes the competitive market really hurt consumers, though. Netflix might stay relatively ad-free as a selling point, but what are you gonna do if Hulu (or one of the dozen other services) steals your favorite show from Netflix while you're halfway through? This has happened to me a couple times now and it's annoying, because I like Netflix, but if I wanna watch certain content I have to watch it on Hulu or whatever because that's the only option.

Point being, the competitive market means there's a strong incentive for services that are noticeably inferior (I'll keep picking on Hulu since they have tons of ads, bad UI, mediocre video quality etc) to license content out from under each other. This is obviously a bad state for the consumer, and clearly the impetus behind streaming services going gangbusters on their own original series, which is at least (mostly?) good for consumers.
How was I passive aggressive or condescending? I do believe you are misunderstanding what the math says about all of this, but I am eager to suggest textbooks that explain my point of view.

And you are misrepresenting the wiki page. There is a large number of "though experiments" and a few actual experimental observations that make antigravity look implausible. Yes, there are loopholes (like in virtually any statement about fundamental physics) and we should devise experiments to test the loopholes, but when these loopholes are already implausible it is not unreasonable to put the majority of your resources in more interesting experiments.

P.S. None of my comments have anything to do with the Standard Model and I do not see why you are bringing it in this conversation.

The best idea is to have a geographically- and meterologically-diverse network of bases, with enough capacity to shift your flyable assets in case of emergency. Which is basically what we have. And you do want bases as close to your borders as possible to gain the initiative when needed.

The failure here is the F-22 replacement parts supply chain, which is likely exacerbated by cancelling the program after purchasing about half of the promised aircraft.
This reminds me of a quote from the late Ursula K. Le Guin:

> I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth.

The novelist produces statements that are blatantly untrue, knowing that they are untrue. The reader also knows that none of the stuff they're reading is true, yet is able to suspend disbelief and enjoy the story while it lasts. The story might be full of lies, but the enjoyment is true. The message contained in the novel might also be true, as is the person you become after having read many a classic. So it seems that a well-written falsehood can sometimes convey truth better than raw truth itself.
I've never seen any evidence that Google intends to release a new consumer os called Fuschia.

I'm reasonably convinced that Fuschia is a testbed for a new kernel that will eventually replace the hacked up Linux kernel underpinning chromeos and possibly Android. End-users will (theoretically) never notice that anything happened other than a normal os upgrade.

That's just my take, though.
gamedev.net?
I dunno. I find myself fiddling a lot with the language in C#, in C++, in elisp. In Go, mostly I just focus on solving my problem. It seems to have strong enough abstractions for me to express solutions succinctly, while being simple enough to not get in the way. I find it extremely pleasant. (I do admit to the less-than-extremely-pleasant chore of copy-pasting various hand-rolled specializations of functions like, e.g., filter.)
You should perhaps write a more detailed blog post explaining what you're doing and what kind/level of help you need.

I just followed the "Great Split" link in the article and it just goes to the EFNet wikipedia link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFnet

As a 1994-onwards IRCer, I actually had no understanding of where the term EFNet came from, and I don't really remember the US vs Europe/Japan/Australia "Great Split" of 96. I'm sure I was THERE, but I mostly frequented regional (okay #seattle and #pugetsound) channels so it wasn't particularly relevant to me.

A few things hit me like a ton of bricks. At the time, IRC seemed unimaginably vast; I remember netsplits were "unavoidable" once the active user count got above 10,000, and the Wikipedia article says there are ~35,000 active users now.

What didn't dawn on my until just now is that I must have known well over 100 IRCers even from just frequenting those regional forums, but because of how bad we are at conceptualizing large numbers, it never occurred to me that I must have known >1% of ALL OF THE IRC USERS ON THE PLANET at the time. Mind blowing.

> ...the prior validation problem is similar to the likelihood validation problem...

But priors can be much harder.

Say I’m trying to estimate a wind speed from the blade velocity of a windmill. I can bring a more accurate wind speed sensor to calibrate the windmill against the wind speed, perhaps aided by basic physics. This is the likelihood portion.

But what should the prior be? The typical speed at that time of day? The speed in January? The speed on cloudy days? I have to have a crisp number — a full distribution actually, accurate out to the tails. I really have very little grounding for choosing that distribution.

I started out just wanting to relate the wind speed to some data in a rather concrete way, and now I’ve been roped in to choosing a crisp distribution for a rather amorphous state of nature.

This is a deep problem.

We can sharpen the problem. Say my number and yours are different. How do we tell who is right?

One can try a different tack: I’m being stubborn. The prior will mostly wash out in any well-posed problem, or else why try to solve it? But now we’re back to frequentism, just looking at the likelihood.

HN tends to invoke the Bayesian framework as a complete solution to inference — I’m just trying to demonstrate that there are problems with that approach.

No, people make layers of abstraction because the underlying layer is useful, powerful, configurable.

Well-established in what?

This is one of those things the media is profoundly stupid at. For example:

> Johnston and her coauthor, Andrew Joy, BS, also of Western New Mexico University, reviewed data on mass shootings amassed by media outlets, the FBI and advocacy organizations, as well as scholarly articles, to conclude that “media contagion” is largely responsible for the increase in these often deadly outbursts.

https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2016/08/media-contag...

In other words, widespread media coverage of mass shootings has increased the number of mass shootings, because the perpetrators do it for the attention and seeing how much attention it gets encourages future perpetrators. So now the media does its level best not to inflame the public and give unnecessary publicity to these monsters.. or not.

It's the same kind of thing here. The deterrent effect you're looking for comes from people talking about the major tax evasion cases the IRS is winning. It gets reduced by publicly lamenting a lower enforcement budget -- which would have no effect on deterrence if nobody was talking about it.

It's way more important that people understand that the IRS is prosecuting people than whether the actual number of people they're prosecuting goes up or down. And they definitely still are.

My pet theory is that Google intends to eventually port the existing userspace for chromeos and Android to the Fuschia kernel.

As long as your apps run inside Chrome's runtime, or interact with the Android APIs instead of the low level POSIX APIs, they'll never know the difference. (And we all know that Android's existing POSIX support is minimalistic, to say the least.)
