I don't think it's a fair conclusion to draw that deplatforming doesn't work. The fact that things are still getting worse isn't anything like solid evidence for that—I mean, just because a bunch of places have taken platforms away from alt-right Nazi mouthpieces doesn't mean they don't still have places to speak. In part because of logic like yours, actually.

Regarding "majority censorship"...yeah, I'm really not going to worry too much about whether the Nazis will feel justified or not in suppressing my free speech because of my suppression of theirs if they manage to truly take over. Because I think I'll have worse things to worry about in a situation like that. Because of the Nazis that are in charge in that situation. (Also because I don't think they'll think twice about suppressing my free speech if they manage to get in charge. The idea that the alt-right is genuinely composed primarily of free-speech maximalists, as opposed to simply saying what will let them continue to spread hate, seems to me to be naïve.)

And regarding banning people from mainstream platforms causing them to migrate to niche platforms: Good. Isolate them. Let them know that society does not want them as long as they espouse and spread these views.

Because all they have to do to become accepted again is to stop spreading hateful views.

The people they preach hate against? They have no recourse. They can't change the colour of their skin, their sexuality, or their gender.
Yes. But by the 19th century the scientific process was already doing quite well at advancing our understanding of the universe. The philosophers of science of that era mostly wrote down and formalized what was already happening. It’s not like scientists suddenly started doing their experiments differently because of the advent of a formal philosophy of science. There were some improvements, but they were incremental not transformative.

Ask HN: Why haven’t we built networks of synthetic neurons yet?
I just finished https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.06963 and was pleasantly surprised at state of neurotrophic computing. Specifically, the use of organic materials to build robust, low power networks that get past the von Neumann bottleneck and allow us to incorporate new levels of sensing into our environment and lives seems extraordinary. TPUs and chips are obviously interesting for orgs like google, but what about synthetic clusters of neurons integrated into our environment? How significant could that be?
We had a mac lab in late 90s/early 2000s and they didn't lock down shared network drives either.

We also weren't allowed to install games, but found a way around that by scheduling a task to run the installer a minute in the future.

Here's what I love the most about this: If you have a full-disk encrypted Windows laptop, which is fully powered down (or hybernated), and the laptop contains PHI, _and_ you lose the laptop, then you probably do _not_ have to report it as a data breach.

>At what point are you "good" enough to be valued or loved?

That's the wrong question. That depends entirely on who you ask about yourself, and whether you believe their answers. The right question is "when should you feel good about yourself?" and the answer to that is "when you have your life put together and are moving towards meaningful goals and keeping chaos under control".

there's plenty to discuss whenever you've read something someone else has read. just think about book clubs that get together and talk about books that everyone has just read based on questions that they might have shared before hand. you can always share your insights into the book, your opinions on the content, connections to other things, etc. It's funny to me that people are saying that conversations around these things would get stale.

My tip would be to have a group of friends, potentially online in a group chat or in person, all read one or two _short_ pieces that you have selected so you can discuss them, and then have another person select pieces, etc. I highly doubt that you will find another person out in the ether that has read a lot of the same stuff as you have at the level you want or expect.
Well, if it's a definition thing, we can define a "splurg" which can give correct answers for an undecidable subset, and arbitrary answers, some wrong some right, for everything else. A "splurg" cannot be a TM, but it is also not a complete oracle.
Do you have any examples of "many of these governments operate against their companies?" I'm intrigued by this because this isn't how government generally works at all at a local level. They usually work with these companies and give them sweetheart deals knowing that the money will not really come back to the city and the effect will happen years down the road. All the positives for them of working with the company and someone else deals with the issues later that are caused from tax breaks and other deals.
I mean, there's a pretty big difference between not being able to access high speed internet except through something that's subject to financial or other sorts of manipulation, and not being able to post whatever you want on facebook or use google or whatever. Facebook isn't really something I need, plus I can use any number of alternative search engines and email providers.

I can't just ignore the two or so providers of internet in my area and switch to dial up or whatever because I pretty much need high speed dependable internet for work. I think that's a pretty big difference there.

WINE runs most applications extremely well. With actual backing from a MegaCo, especially the MegaCo that owns all of the IP around Windows, I have no doubt that a year of work would round out the rough edges such that compatibility differences don't exceed what would be expected between major versions of Microsoft Windows.
Just in case other readers stumble by, neither of these perceptions of pymc is accurate.

GPU operability is well-supported, and much like Keras, pymc provides well-designed abstractions over top of TensorFlow, making the downsides of raw TensorFlow mostly irrelevant.

I like PyTorch a lot too, but any time I see someone say PyTorch is easier than TensorFlow, it usually just means that person only tried PyTorch, learned some special knowledge about it, and now they don’t want to admit using a different framework might be the better choice, even if it requires giving up some of what’s nice about PyTorch.

>There's no global optimum for life, even at an individual scope

That's a big assumption with no evidence to support it. Depending on who you ask, people might say that the global optimum is Jesus, or Buddha, or Superman. People can instinctively think about the people they admire, abstract out the things these admirable people have in common, and strive towards (and worship) that ideal.
OP here. You are being unkind. I'm not an idiot. I have a doctor. He won't be honest regarding stem cells for legal reasons (they're not fda approved).

You're saying they get enough money so we should give large amounts of money to corporations? That seems wild and like corporate welfare for the sake of portioning out some money to corporations. Why give corporations a fast-lane to government money because school's are getting some money?

To be clear, is your argument really that schools have lots of money so corporations deserve to get some too?
That's true. But you originally said "wrong on an infinite number of problems".
You appear to conflate the absence of self-optimization with 'mediocrity', which seems ... questionable.

It's easy to find examples of both: some great historical figures had rigorous programs of conscious self-improvement; others became great by immediately engaging with some problem entirely outside themselves and if any self-improvement resulted, it wasn't a primary or conscious goal.

Ask HN: SaaS contract commissions?  Whats standard?
I run a software company which sells our software as a service to other businesses.

I am wondering what is considered a standard commission rate in the SaaS world? If one of my salesman/woman is able to get a contract signed, what percentage of that contract should I give to them?

It's important to keep in mind when considering this, that in this situation, these salesman/woman aren't employees of mine. They are experts in their field who have connections within their industry, and have agreed to sell my product for a commission. They are not just random salesman, but rather, they are able to make sales because they have relationships/connections with the companies whom they are selling to. I am not paying them a salary, they are strictly selling my software and I give them a commission. I want to make sure the percentage I give them for each sale is fair, but I have very little knowledge of what is "fair".

the only centralizing factor is energy subsidies. it's still a far cry from issues with PoS systems.

Well their job is to please their clients above all else not the ad targets.

This was the part that absolutely stunned me:

> Last fall, the night before daylight-saving time ended, an all-user e-mail alert went out. The system did not have a way to record information when the hour from 1 a.m. to 1:59 a.m. repeated in the night. This was, for the system, a surprise event. The only solution was to shut down the lab systems during the repeated hour.

Any system like this that fails to store all times as UTC is broken.

No one should make this mistake more than once. I made it once, and boy was it painful. And boy did I feel stupid to realize I had forgotten about daylight savings time. I just can't see how it was possible for the designers of this huge system to miss this.

Do we even have examples of physics that is not computable? Quantum computers can be simulated by a TM; closed timelike curves don't give you extra power either. As far as I know all the physics the we currently understand can be simulated to arbitrary precision on a TM. I don't really believe that brains have access to realms where quantum mechanics breaks down.

> does our brain engage more when we’re reading a technical literature review moreso than if it was a novel

I'm sure it does, but moreso I think that it might be more a function of the actual style of language used than it is of the subject matter. For example, if you read any literature from a century ago, you'll likely notice that what we now call run-on sentences are used all over the place. These sentences have a parsing tree that is far deeper and more self-referential than modern authors use, and so in turn likely engages the brain more than a simpler sentence structure would. Of course, this has negative connotations as far as clear communication goes, but it's a good exercise to spend a few weeks reading this kind of material - it definitely becomes noticeably more readable after more exposure.

You'll also likely be familiar with the way that newspaper articles (particularly in tabloids and local rags) have dropped their reading grade-level standards and are using simpler linguistic constructions to help ensure their audience understands. There's probably a bit of a negative feedback loop in there somewhere.

I suspect even worse. People would be less willing to try new things with an upfront cost while clickbait would be even more incentivized as they don't even have to worry about not offending advertisers.
If perfection is not a goal, how is it useful? And why call it perfection? I'd argue that you can have models without making them goals, but a model is not perfection unless it is also your primary goal. Perfection implies an optimal moral evaluation, and moral evaluation is always relative to a goal.
