>...advice columnist may not give good advice, but they are somewhat less likely to give advice designed to encourage you to cut your own throat for their personal benefit.

Yeah, they have absolutely no mechanism to verify that their advice is good, or any consequences if it is terrible, and their primary incentive (far more than a psychiatrist's incentive for the malpractice you describe) is to entertain and satisfy you for more attention.

This is a horrible rationalization.
Looks like this post got shadow-flagged or somehow removed from the main listing. It's still on new, but not in any of the first 5 top pages, after being on the front page earlier.
I thought ending the comment with "signed anonymous internet person" might be too on the nose but apparently not.
The google paper uses memory. You cant remember a never ending set of 2D random noise, there are limitless variations.
Because every government hacks, spies on and steals from every other government. The US was built on stealing tech from britain.

Going back even further, the byzantine empire stole silkworms to break china's monopoly on silk.

As a matter of fact, the biggest spies and thieves in the world are allies. Do you know who spies on the US the most? It's not china. It's not russia. It's actually canada, britain and israel. Do you know who we spy on the most? Our allies. We aren't going to sanction our allies.

Think about it. Why do countries have intelligence agencies? Should we sanction all countries with intelligence agencies?
well, ticker is ticker ;)
Your point about there being no universally recognized Native Hawaiian representative organization is a very good one. There's no group or finite set of groups, that the TMT could reach an agreement with (by providing scholarships, environmental offsets, rent, etc.) and then be free from the protests. Three people getting angry in a Hilo coffee shop can stop construction of the TMT.
I hear in the news stories about companies being highjacked by hackers, where the hackers encrypt said companies' data and demand a ransom. If that is possible, then wouldn't it be possible for US backed hackers to do the same to the Chinese backed organizations that stole American IP?

It seems ineffective to just publicly indict Chinese hackers that are in China. The indictments are public, so the likelihood that said hackers come to the US are nill. Seems more effective to erase the trade secrets, or any other data, from these organizations.

I was blown away when I first discovered this. I smoked weed when I was younger and my only gripe about it was the possibility of lung cancer. Luckily my non-weed-smoking friend debunked that for me. Props for spreading interesting info!
Exactly, and, as we all know, hypocritical crimes are treated very seriously by very toothful U.N.
How about an approach where the agent's reward is not the predictability itself but the first derivative of it. This way the agent will be attracted to the parts of environment where it can improve and will avoid white-noise parts since its model of the world doesn't generalize on these.

Juergen Schmidhuber (the author of original LSTM paper) had a very similar idea, http://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/driven2009.pdf

"This drive maximizes interestingness, the
first derivative of subjective beauty or compressibility, that is, the steepness of the
learning curve. It motivates exploring infants, pure mathematicians, composers,
artists, dancers, comedians, yourself, and (since 1990) artificial systems."

Unbound is probably more featureful (especially when it comes to DNSSEC, which, I mean, again, for what that's worth to you), but sdns is written in Golang. Unbound is written in C and has had at least one memory corruption vulnerability reported.
If lots of people are simultaneously misunderstanding you in the exact same way, it's probably not that they're all stupid and malicious.

How far do you take this kind of logic though?

Do you never go to a dentist because you can never be sure they're fixing your teeth? You don't know if they're superficially treating your teeth just enough to warrant another visit instead of "fixing" them once and for all.

Do you never hire an engineer onto your team at work? You can never be sure if they're putting bugs into their code on purpose for job security.

I mean if you take this kind of thinking to its logical conclusion, it gets pretty ridiculous.

In any case, "be skeptical to some extent, but don't be _scared_" seems like a good middle ground in this debate.
They don't remember all the previous scenes, just ones which are "novel" enough.

But how do we decide whether the agent is seeing the same thing as an existing memory? Checking for an exact match could be meaningless: in a realistic environment, the agent rarely sees exactly the same thing twice. For example, even if the agent returned to exactly the same room, it would still see this room under a different angle compared to its memories.

Instead of checking for an exact match in memory, we use a deep neural network that is trained to measure how similar two experiences are.
Someone gave a clear way to prevent abuse: prohibit sexual/etc relationships with subordinates. Well, except for couples that were already in one.

A lot of places have this rule. Why doesn't Google adopt this rule?
The problem with tons of shovelware, is the particularly deceptive noise in the S/N ratio. The old adage is that you shouldn't hide a needle in a haystack. Instead you should hide it in a pile of other needles. A big problem with particular kinds of shovelware is that under-technically qualified people are able to make something that looks great, and even plays great for the 1st hour. Then the bugs start creeping in.
My totally uninformed, off the cuff guess: because red was/is the cheapest paint color you could get.
I think you're missing my point. I'm not saying that "lawyers would automatically defend themselves" if they were harassed. Harassment gets buried in the legal profession for the same reasons it gets buried everywhere.

My point is that the Overton window is in a different place: whether it's okay for supervisors to date underlings, with all the problems that causes, is a settled debate in law as well as most of the rest of corporate America (it's not). Tech seems out of the mainstream to me in still entertaining the idea that it's okay.
Sexual assault ("Grabbing by the pussy") and attempted rape (the other guy) are crimes.

Inappropriate relationships with subordinates are, well, "inappropriate", and can be sexual harassment when they are persistent and unwanted, or involve any sort of quid-pro-quo. That, however is not a crime, but only a violation of (civil) employment law.

I agree with what you have to say, but here:

>"Hey, pot is going to temporarily make you dumber. Maybe don't use it a lot while you're trying to get through school. Thanks."

You're inviting devil's advocates here though, maybe rephrase it as "pot may make you dumber". Otherwise, I think you may be providing some with a goal, something to prove. I didn't enjoy finding out my health class was dead wrong about marijuana's effects and this was certainly solid motivation to get into it at that time.

That's chrome text rendering for you. IIRC chrome was the only browser on windows that wouldn't display emoji properly even when system could.
You don't consider delivering a paper to my door to be a form of "push delivery"? At least with facebook I installed the app. These local newspapers/flyer delivery vehicles don't have any business relationship with me at all.
It is, however, functional distinguishable from rape and sexual assault, which are the more appropriate terms for these politicians' actions alluded to.
What real reality are you referring to? That the iPhone X looks flashy? Thats not an objective truth, its taste.

If someone likes driving Corvettes because they think it looks anonymous and non-descript. Who are you to tell them they're wrong. Its their opinion.
You're confusing the Jupyter backend (which manages the Python kernels) with the front-end (which maintains the JSON document that reflects the notebook). You can have different front ends that use different formats than .ipynb.
Part of the problem with this is how some AVs rate new binaries. Previous job, we had issues with deployments of new versions. Most of our (only) corporate clients used Symantec. They would consistently flag our app as a possible virus because it's "reputation" was low. To Symantec, reputation basically meant how many times it'd seen the app before.

Symantec basically coerced us into buying a code-signing cert from them, and we still had to submit every build directly to them for this reputation issue to go away. Royal pain in the ass.
To be honest, the code quality in most assets I encounter is so low that sometimes I even throw away the scripts and only use the meshes/textures/shaders/etc.

This is some kind of systemic market failure. The general population of the market itself is so low-information that it can't properly distinguish between good and bad. It's pretty much the same problem as non-technical people hiring technical people. It's non-technical people evaluating code.
Yeah, that's why I loved that industry. A million hard problems to solve. Along that lines Real Time Collusion Detection[1] is solid gold for a lot of these types of spatial issues. It's basically data structures for gamedev.

Aside from the fun problems the rest of that industry can die in a fire. The basic business model is to prey on people's passion so that they pour themselves into the job for 3-5 years and then burn out leaving open a slot for the next poor soul who signs up. There's an occasional studio that has a sane workload but I'd hazard they're less than 3% of the industry. Plus they usually are gone in 5-7 years when the market shifts(10% of the market captures 90% of the sales).

Building stuff in your spare time is the only sane way to spend time in that space as far as I'm concerned, otherwise you're setting yourself up for a world of pain.

What kind of person would consider going or being interviewed after they heard that statement? Regardless if they wore a suit and brought their mother to the event. It shows that you may be interested but are testing the waters? If this person really wanted the job, it looks like she would have done almost anything to get it.

I do not condone the behavior of either party involved. But at least one person should be strong enough to say no thanks, I don't believe in compromising my integrity for an interview with those requirements attached. I'd report this to HR ASAP too.

peace.
This. Drug dealers don't care if you're 7 or 70. I could get a dimebag in 5 minutes anytime in high school. Alcohol, on the other hand, took weeks of planning to obtain.

> The current set of namespaces in the kernel are: mount, pid, uts, ipc, net, user, and cgroup. [...] [Time is] not namespaced. [...] The kernel keyring is another item not namespaced.

I've always argued that "everything is a file" is an exaggeration. These moments make the extent of that exaggeration clear.

If everything truly was a file, the only thing you would need to namespace is the filesystem. But in reality there are a lot of other kernel objects that are not files at all.
I have been thinking about this in the context of my own reading habits and how they have changed over time.

I have read textbooks with a lot of patience spending way more time per page, letting the content sink in, thinking about it, taking notes on the bitsy corners of the book etc. However, these days as a professional, when I read tech books, I could see myself rushing for facts, and "how-to"s instead of deeper reading. May be I'm getting older? Wiser? Falling into Attention Deficit Disorder? I don't know. But, I do know that if a tech book does "8,4,2,1,2,8,2,3,1,4" like you said, I'm lost at third step, finding something else where I can get my facts quick...

This is where interactive books could jump in and help keep the attention in place with more relevant information in view instead of needing repetition.

I remember Apple tried something with a free app called iBooks Author. I need to spend more time with it and see if I can make use of it for some tech stuff.
I'll also point out, I'd much prefer a default of Elixir, than of Java.

Why? Because most of my problems are things Elixir can solve well, and Java can solve moderately well, after a bunch of pain and tweaking. Default to the thing that can solve most of your problems well, and pick a different tool when needed, rather than default to the thing that can solve all of your problems moderately well, and you never pick anything else, and so never have any elegant, quickly built yet well designed, solutions.
Hi Lucy. Looks great. Do you have any production use cases you can tell us about? Are you a YC company?
Yes, that is libertarian.
It's pretty common for programs compiled by "uncommon" compilers, and since the D compiler is selfhosted, it would fall into that category. AV software isn't magic, they probably just look for stack/calling/allocation patterns that don't look "right" meaning none of the major compilers generate such code, and it "might" be bad somehow.

I've a few flags from npm with Kaspersky, because there's so many packages that include some little binary, and since this is npm, it's often "unusual", like go.
That's a stupid template. Any interaction is indistinguishable from sexual harassment if sexual harassment is a component. Inappropriate relationships at work are just that, unless they involve sexual harassment, which isn't an inappropriate relationship, it's sexual harassment.
We move our Logstreams to our ElastiCache cluster to make them somewhat usable - using another lambda which receives subscription filters that are attached to a log group.

The processor also periodically scans new log groups under the /aws/lambda/ prefix, and creates subscriptions for them if they don't exist already.

What is the difference between 'git pull' and 'git fetch'?
No, but remarks like this essentially are malicious, regardless of whatever else is going on here. It's basically a personal attack that in no way tries to engage me about whatever point I was trying to make.

The fact that you created an account just moments before taking a dig at me only reinforces the idea that this is absolutely not a good faith comment by you.

There are lots of things that can cause a conversation to go sideways. It's really common for the group to then blame the person at the center. It only serves to compound and entrench the problem.

David Silver has said that explicitly.

But "RL" is currently used to describe both problems (MDPs etc), and solutions (RL algos).

RL problems are defined very broadly and have so many subtypes (episodic/non, with/without goals, continuous/discrete, ...) that you can frame most things as an RL problem. And "AGI" would by definition be able to solve any RL problem.

So imo to some extent this is tautological.
The US Navy ensures shipping lanes are protected. Without them globalized trade would be much harder.
> If you want to look at per capita spending, the article says the US spends about 668 billion, divided by a population of 321 million, you get about $2080 per capita.

Nobody is calculating it that way: the US does not have 321 million schoolchildren.
I'd maybe consider that perhaps becoming happy with REPL-driven development isn't a universal solution. It's not like I didn't understand the concepts, the tools, or the process. I just didn't find that it made me any more proficient at building software.
I can get on board with this phrasing.
This is actually an argument that is sometime raised in regards to net neutrality. The difference between an ISP and a web host is that the former functions more as a utility (the debated common carrier classification). If they are a common carrier, the analogy would be the ISP is the power company and the web host is a land lord. The land lord can choose not to rent to someone for any reason other then the person belonging to a protected class. But the power company can't turn off their power as long as they keep paying.

The distinction makes sense because you can find another land lord to rent from, or buy your own house (as you can find another web host, or become a web host). But you still have to get power from the, usually one, local electric company (as you have to get a connection to the internet from your, usually one, local ISP).
By that logic, seducing someone that you have the power to beat up is not functionally distinguishable from sexual harassment to any outside observer.

Hyperbolic? Yep. But it's silly to think that there's no manner in which consenting adults can have a relationship in which one has power over the other.
There is a general problem with philanthropy in nature. I am always skeptical of foundations that seem to pay exorbitant salaries to the executives running the foundation. There’s got to be a better model.

Thanks for the comments on this, I'm generally skeptical with these things... my only linux desktop is currently running Elementary, which I've liked a lot, but nice hardware support will be great. Still running a late 2014 (iirc) rMBP for my laptop, may swap out late next year or the year after.

I'm tired of the stuff Apple pulls, so would be nice to see a good/supported linux distro for hardware. I've been bitten too many times trying to maintain Linux on a primary desktop/laptop (hackintosh has been easier for me).

They do, but in a buggy way. I have long considered this to be a defect and have filed Radars about this.

You can create playgrounds on the fly with the Files app, if you know the structure they must have. You cannot edit them in Swift Playgrounds.

I used to be so worried about DRM. I very diligently only purchased books from publishers like O'Reilly and Baen that sold completely unencrypted books. I was building my collection that would last me forever.

Of course, I'm not going to live forever, and as I get a more realistic appreciation for what books I might re-read in my limited lifespan remaining... I just don't worry about DRM anymore.

I'm not going to be passing on these books, the next generation likely won't be interested in most of them. The really good stuff will stay in print somehow at a reasonable price (or at least there will still be piracy).

The other stuff, meh.
What you are describing are Koh-i-noor pencils. Staedtler pencils are blue, with the black top.
AFAICT This does not include like an ACME implementation or anything like that, so:

You will need to obtain a suitable TLS certificate (for which you will have generated a private key).

For this to be of practical use outside of a toy, you will probably need to obtain the certificate from a different CA since you would want an ipAddress SAN (a certificate for the IP address of your DNS server, not the hostname) so that remote systems can use this server without also needing DNS, since if they have perfectly good DNS why use this server?

For a toy you can self-sign a certificate and set your test systems to trust that self-signed cert or whatever.
Its actually quite rare to have property repossessed for failing to pay back a, for example, credit card. A majority of debts you take on the lender won't go through channels to use force against you because those are time consuming and expensive on their part.

The way credit scores work in simplest terms and theory is a non-coercive way of punishing people who defraud lenders. When your score tanks and nobody will lend to you anymore so you get punished for not paying your debts without any violence happening.
