I'm saying that we can define what constitutes understanding by defining what constitutes reasoning within a given inference system. That's a simpler task, but doesn't solve the original problem. It just passes the buck. Now instead of asking whether a given learner performs reasoning and understands, we could ask whether the language/logic constitutes understanding.

I'd definitely say that the current theorem provers have some form of true understanding, even though it isn't the same form as we have. For the typical ML learners, I think it's more interesting to ask and taxonomize "in what ways is this reasoning/understanding" rather than just ask "is this reasoning/understanding?"
To clarify, the design that the paper is addressing is the ARC, a full-size pilot reactor intended to put 200MW out on the grid for 9 working years.

The demonstration reactor is the SPARC which is based on a scaled down half-sized (but 1/8 the mass and 1/8 the cost) version of ARC. While the main goal of SPARC is to achieve significant net power output, along with a proof-of-concept for many of the design features of ARC, some features may have to be left out for lack of space.

So I don't know if SPARC will be able to achieve net tritium breeding, but I presume they will be testing as many of the features as they can along with taking measurements and verifying the model. It is also noteworthy that the ARC/SPARC design allows for replacement of the vacuum vessel and cooling blanket without complete removal of the outside magnetic coils, so they foresee design iteration of those components unlike the ITER design which will be pretty much locked in.
Maybe ML hype will kill python in 20 years?

Myers-Briggs has poor predictive power. It's popular because it doesn't really tell you much, and it's fun to talk about, like astrology.

> The Boy Scouts of America has allowed girls in their other programs since the 1970s.

Only one (Exploring, which became Venturing), really. BSA has four youth programs:

Cub Scouts - for boys and girls from kindergarten through fifth grade. Girls were allowed to join the Cut Scouts program as of October 2017.

Scouting (formerly Boy Scouts) for young men 11 to 18. Young women will be able to join in February 2019.

Venturing - for young men and women ages 14 to 21. Young women were allowed to join starting in 1969. (Venturing was "Exploring" then, and Exploring / "Senior Scouts" started in the 1930s for boys 15 and older.

Sea Scouting - for young men and women ages 14 to 21. Previous to 2016, Sea Scouting was part of Venturing, and previous to that, part of Exploring.

Ask HN: How did developers use to accept payment before Stripe?
Claiming that they've "implemented" 42 syscalls seems like an overstatement: almost everything is a stub that does nothing, and the bits that are implemented are not even close to being half-baked. Even relatively easy stuff like dup is missing.
Increased complexity leads to increased overhead costs. A bare metal instance is going to be cheaper to maintain than a full-service instance that interfaces with a robust ecosystem (even if that instance doesn't use any of it).
I have somewhat inexpensive mass-market Toto toilets in my house. I've added a washlet for $400. There's wiring nearby. The warm water is really nice.

Far more likely is...

Yes. The statistics bear this out.
Technically, the word you are looking for is 'tame' not 'domesticate'. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tame_animal :

> Domestication should not be confused with taming. Taming is the conditioned behavioral modification of a wild-born animal when its natural avoidance of humans is reduced and it accepts the presence of humans, but domestication is the permanent genetic modification of a bred lineage that leads to an inherited predisposition toward humans.[
I think the author brings up a good point about so-called "responsible disclosure" (a self-serving term by the vendors).

I'm paraphrasing his 3 reasons for disclosing immediately:

1. It's unacceptable to wait half a year until a vulnerability is patched.

2. Bug bounties are riddled with tricks to delay you, shenanigans as to whether they'll pay you or not, and games to low ball the price.

3. It's arrogant to wait months while meanwhile preparing for a big boastful disclosure.

I'm thinking that we could add to this list as follows:

4. The vulnerability might already be well-known and being used by black hats and secret government agencies. Releasing the details immediately puts all of us on an equal footing.

5. Punish the vendors for having such awful security. Just the other day, HN had an article[1] about Crucial SSDs that encrypt the drive with a key that doesn't depend on the password; you can decrypt the drive without the password just by patching the firmware. Is Crucial going to get punished for such an outrageous lie about their encryption? The marketplace mechanisms that force vendors to pay proper attention to security are trust in the brand, independent security reviews (thank you security researchers!), government regulation (no thank you), and immediately naming and shaming them without giving them time to cover it up or downplay it.

6. Punish the users for not demanding higher security. Of course, we could suffer as result, but it's not the security researcher who caused the bug and it's not the security researcher who would be exploiting it. There needs to be demand from users for higher security in their purchases.

7. We get to see all the details if the vulnerability is disclosed immediately. If the vulnerability is disclosed after "responsible disclosure", plenty of times you don't get the raw details. I wouldn't be surprised if many security researchers are signed to NDAs (or simply threatened by lawyers), so we don't hear about the bugs at all. Having the full details published immediately advances our knowledge in the security field more than a partial disclosure months later (or a non-disclosure).

Sure, the traffic does suck but you run into the same issue in any big metropolis. LA has way worse traffic and places that have good public transportation still have way too many people trying to do the same things - so you might get there quicker but you'll just wait in a longer line.
Neurotypical humans all crave social status. The higher expected future compensation is a nice bonus, but it's the status that draws people to higher titles.

A friend of mine brought a toilet back from Japan with him when he moved back and I was always in envy. I'm looking at a Toto Neorest 700H right now, it's about $5000. Is that the kind of system you'd recommend or what are you using?
Could China’s ‘Belt and Road’ Initiative Bring Opportunity to Poland?
Microsoft in the 90s figured out how to work around that. Just silo them and have their manager do the external interfacing for them. This was assuming they really were at least an 8/10 which was required to make the whole thing worthwhile.

That of course works much better when everyone has their own office so the angry outbursts are only heard by the 2-3 closest neighbors.

Not a great example, because neither you nor your friend probably despise any of those 5 choices, and even if you do, it’s no big deal to just decide to get dinner separately tonight. Remember, political elections are about choosing the candidate or policy that exerts power over everyone in the jurisdiction.
Except we're not talking about a far country in a galaxy far, far away, but a close ally that actively benefits from the advantages of being a close ally, while pulling bad tax tricks that are detrimental to the countries that allow it to thrive.

I do agree with your first sentence though, whether this is good or bad depends on the particulars.

Longevity is the easy one... I signed up for Cryonics with ALCOR, and it was one of the most freeing decisions I ever made.

Situational unfairness is a different story. I'm very bitter about the way certain deals I've worked on have turned out for me. I feel that cheats, insiders, and powermongers have gotten the upper hand in every deal I've been involved in. I never seem to come out on top and it's getting ridiculous.

> Venturing Crews and Sea Scouts, both of which are part of BSA, have been co-ed for a long time. My initial research was not particularly fruitful, but I think that they've been that way since their respective inceptions.

Venturing Crews and Sea Scouts were both part of Exploring in 1969 when the program went co-ed.

> There's also no gender-specific leadership or structure.

There are, actually. Quoting the current edition of the Guide to Safe Scouting:

"Two registered adult leaders 21 years of age or over are required at all Scouting activities, including meetings. There must be a registered female adult leader over 21 in every unit serving females. A registered female adult leader over 21 must be present for any activity involving female youth."
>Why did it take until the late 20th century for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to develop and the Gracie family crush almost all other unarmed martial arts at the start of MMA, when humans have engaged in unarmed combat for millions of years and every major country has long lineages of specialized competitive martial arts and tremendous incentive to find martial arts which worked and quick feedback loops?

I suspect the most obvious answer is the same as the issue with other forms of grappling and wrestling - they are very good in structured 1v1 combat where there is a guarantee that a friend of your foe won't come along while you are both on the ground and bash you over the head with a large rock.
Understand that that's how life is but that doesn't mean you don't have control over it. What motivates me is thinking about how many years I have left, or how long I've spent and how much I've accomplished.

When I turned 25, I looked over my accomplishments and wondered if they were enough to merit a quarter of a century. I decided they that while they were satisfactory, I was not satisfied, and so I decided to rectify that before my next milestone: 30.

I've already accomplished more than most of my family & friends at my age, but for me that's a low bar. I want to put beat Jobs. If I shoot for the stars, at least I'll shoot past the moon.

Ps- I know what the saying is, but seriously, I never understand why people say it like that. The moon is closer than the stars!

I work for a large MNC that builds 'enterprise software'. Needless to say I speak for myself below and not for the company I work for.

To my knowledge, large companies don't deliver unreviewed machine translated strings to customers because of the legal implications. In any machine translated interface, the customer has to take active steps to enable the machine translation. The customer is taking ownership of the page and it's content by doing so.

This is for several reasons: 1. Machine translated strings are sometimes literally correct but actually wrong or misleading in implication in the new language context.
2. For legal or technical terms the machine translation just isn't there yet.
3. For some phrases, the machine translation is just gibberish.

Another thing I noticed is that machine translated output atleast from google uses a very formal tone. People just don't write or talk like that.

It turns out that machine translation is not yet 'solid' as your post assumes. It often generates misleading results and sometimes it is outright incorrect.

Google et al will likely do what you're saying when they get translation working better.

Hi! Tim from Repl.it here.

I used to be an avid c9 user in the classroom as well, but the startup time was killing me.

When is your 8-week program starting? Repl.it can do almost everything you want it to - our editors are fast to load, starting a server is as simple as opening a port, and we're extremely easy to use and almost feature complete. The only thing we're missing is a terminal, which is in the works (the alpha version is released, but may not work for RoR). I just want to get a sense of your timeframe so I can see if we can expedite this feature for you. Let me know if you have any questions!
More competitive, OK. Who doesn't want their country to be more competitive anyway, whatever that means? Certainly no one in their right mind would argue to make it more diverse, more educated while we're at it?

How about you share how you think this could work? While I agree for more competitiveness for my country, history has shown me repeatedly that low taxes isn't actually working out that great.

Equating low taxes with increased competitiveness is to me dishonest as a generality. I'm certainly not opposed to admitting that it can work in some cases, but I can't agree to this as a general rule.
I've started fixing this now ... by removing cookies completely (unless one logs in to post/edit a comment; then there's a session cookie).

You'll still get people complaining, it's the nature of user reviews.
One thing that isn't quite clear to me after a quick peruse of the website - say I'd like to use WireGuard as a VPN for my general personal internet security. I guess I'd need a server running somewhere with a WireGuard server, and then the iOS client - is that correct? i.e. it's not something like a SOCKS tunnel where I just need ssh at the other end.
The problem is that the site is using a depricated json file to get the instances/prices. This is no longer being updated.

I don’t think the problem with having only two viable parties is that they will both tend to be extreme (and that doesn’t strike me as empirically true at the US federal level). Rather, I think the problem is that parties have aggregate power, which means that individual policy preferences get bundled together in ways that may not match an individual voter’s preference. What if I prefer one policy that’s only part of the party X platform, and another that is only part of the party Y platform? Or, another way to think about this party aggregation: what if I prefer the candidate from party X for my local congressional district, but I can’t stand the thought of the likely Speaker of the House of party X?
I personally believe carbs are mostly to blame (as opposed to fats and protein). In the Western world there is this idea that fats are bad, carbs are good but somehow this idea coincidences with astronomic increase in obesity. We load everything with high-fructose corn syrup and kick fats out of our diet. There is not much research behind this and my claims aren't evidence based either. I'm more than happy to refuted if you can provide papers.
GitHub is experiencing issues
I live in Texas, born and raised and have for the majority of my life, and go to CA quite frequently.

The nice things CA has are mostly related to laws designed to protect people and employees.

For instance, the most important thing CA has that’s relevant to me is that non-competes are illegal in CA. And that in CA recently the employer must disclose salary range for position if asked. As well as pro-privacy legislation and pro net-neutrality legislation. The recreational marijuana would be a nice bonus (I don’t really smoke, but my wife does a lot and it would be really nice for her to not have to go to sketchy dealers and risk being jailed when she takes the stuff back home).

I still haven’t gotten a good enough job offer to offset the cost (after doing some COLA analysis for me to have the same quality of life in Cali my salary would basically have to be doubled, and I make quite a decent salary in Texas), but if/when that offer comes along, I will seriously consider California as a permanent residence.
If we don't start to address it the cull will come "naturally" via starvation, war, migration and so on.

No need to propose a human cull. Simply make large families something socially unacceptable and promote via campaigns and the tax system. It could easily change as extensively and rapidly as single earner family with stay at home mothers have.

It has to be part of any rational solution.
Non-monotonicity is a problem.

Non-monotonicity solely on a few pathological edge cases where voter preferences are a nigh-intransitive clusterf—- is not a problem.
The anecdote is funny, but what does it have to do with anything?

One could argue that the statist systems in Scandinavia work quite okay... don't you agree?
Probably would look like a union (a dirty word in software), where their collective bargaining allows them to have leverage on software firms and have policies to punish non-payment in an ethical way.

Sequence looks something like: Security researcher submits exploit to the union. Union verifies it and decides it's worth $x. They inform software firm of the exploit and a deadline for payment. If payment is received before deadline, they get full, private disclosure. If not, then exploit is made public. Union takes a cut.

Security researchers don't really need a market maker. (It's not a real market: Actually converting exploits into money is typically antisocial and illegal.) They need someone to negotiate for them.
Some of it is that, but I can say from my own experience that the company itself can draw large numbers of this kind of candidates. For various reasons ($) I’ve worked at a company that people view as a sort of safety school; you get a much higher fraction of incompetents at companies like this.

You don’t see them at startups or at companies with solid technical reputations.

Just about everything the EU does these days is blatant protectionism. This short sighted focus on punishing successful foreign competitors vs growing strong local companies just weakens Europe in the long run and exacerbates the very problem they are trying to solve.
Even better to go this way; no Apple tax.
I don't know how different Scouting in the USA is to the rest of the world, but New Zealand, Australia, and the UK (and probably others) Scouting movements have been co-ed for decades. I was a scout for a while, and I don't think it would've been fundamentally different if it wasn't co-ed.
Like anything else, you need an appropriate server at the other end.

For SOCKS, that would be a SOCKS server (not sshd). (ssh <-> sshd happens to have an option to spawn a limited SOCKS server, but it is not the only SOCKS server in existence.)
I wanted to get one after visiting Japan, but I realized that it was something that would have to wait until I moved into a place with more than one bathroom, so I could leave a normal toilet in the one guests would use. I just didn’t want to have a conversation about it with every person who visited my home.
By experience, I divide the businesses / businessmen into two main groups. First group is motivated by serving the demands and needs of the market, and they earn money as a result. Second group wants to earn money, and they earn money by trying to serve the market's demand or by bullying people into buying their products.

First group earns way more money, produces way more higher quality goods, and people are happy to work with them, because don't feel ripped off or short changed. The second group makes you feel ripped off, produces inferior products and never supports you if something goes wrong.

Earning money is a side-effect for the first group. Yes, they earn money, but since they provide quality goods or services, they earn money without effort. For the second group since earning money is the primary target, they don't care about the products they provide unless the money stops flowing.

I didn't intend to imply that business shall be free. I tried to say that good business inevitably brings money in, and Oracle doesn't provide good business to earn money. They just want your money, and give you something in return to act as a memorial item and as an instrument to get more money from you.

ugh, yeah, active members for one group should be off limits for recruitment by the other. the goal should be to get more kids into scouting, not to poach each others membership.

i hope this kind of behavior is not common.
