I'm really a fan of the type-driven development process Edwin shows of here.

Especially the part where it can generate the correct matrix transposition logic as soon as it's been told that 'matrix' can only be used once. Very impressive.

I really hope at least some of that catches the interest of mainstream language designers/communities.
PingCAP | Software Engineer, Product Designer | San Mateo and distributed | Full-Time | Remote | https://angel.co/pingcap-1/jobs

We make TiDB, a scale-out database that is always consistent, always online, and MySQL compatible. I am part of the international team based out of San Mateo (bay area). Much of our team effort is trying to make this amazing technology more accessible to the rest of the world [1], but we also just hack on TiDB.

Our team is oriented to being remote, and we travel periodically to meet everyone face to face.

Our tech stack is Go, Rust, Kubernetes, and TiDB. You can work on making an amazing serverless cloud integration or do low-level database hacking, depending on your skill set.

I like working on TiDB because I get to be a part of a big change going on in databases and I work with a highly-skilled team that works well together. I am constantly learning new things about databases, Kubernetes, etc, but I also get to apply my existing experience to have a big impact.

See the jobs page for more details and compensation.

The native output resolution is the max vertical resolution of all currently displayed modes.

For instance, if you have an interlaced mode showing under a non-interlaced mode, then the entire screen displays at ~480i (to use modern terms) with the non-interlaced portion doubling its scanlines. But if the interlaced screen gets covered up, then it snaps to ~240p non-scandoubled.

The biggest modern problem with this is that displays turn themselves off to resync on mode changes, which always annoyed me greatly.
Rude.

It's all moved to deviantart and FA now mostly anyway, but there is historical stuff only on tumblr.
clickbait headline.

"The legionnaire's daily ration consisted of 78% carbohydrates, mainly from wheat or barley. This diet has the advantages to provide slowly absorbed carbohydrates, to be provide high energy, and to be easily digestible. It provided good intestinal ballast, and was able to restore the energy reserves of the organism (Fornaris and Aubert, 1998; Lemon et al., 1992). The best fighters in the ancient world were essentially vegetarian."

78% from carbs != vegetarian. by their measures, I'm pretty sure most people are vegetarian.

What is aiHitdata?
aiHitdata is a massive, artificial intelligence/machine learning, automated system that has been trained to build and update company information from the web.

What makes the data different?
aiHitdata not only extracts data. It can monitor and understand the changes that occur on company websites; afterwards, it records these changes as time series transactions. This information is incredibly powerful. What are the benefits?

Most company information databases might tell you the name of a company’s CEO. aiHitdata will tell you when the CEO changed and show the resulting transaction, date and change details.
Most query engines and company databases simply tell you what a company currently says on its website. aiHitdata shows you how the company has changed over time.
Most company databases quickly become out of date. aiHitdata is constantly being updated.
This enables you to understand what is happening to companies and to perform queries such as…

“show me all the engineering companies in California with a new CTO appointed in the last 9 months.”

Hence, you can find and list companies by what they are and see what is happening to them. This makes aiHitdata an extremely powerful tool.

Click here to see an example

What else is different about aiHitdata?
It is up to date, and we mean really up to date. There are no humans involved in compiling its data. It is all fully automated. aiHitdata’s servers scour the Internet continually, 24/7, monitoring and updating company data.

How does it work?
This is complex, but to give an idea…

aiHitdata is continually building and refining its own URL map of the web
Its intelligent crawlers then extract the companies from this map (aiHitdata finds approximately 30,000 new companies each week).
It identifies, categorises and extracts all of the Key Fields (see below) it finds on each company site
It then checks/ quality assures and stores them.
Next, it re-crawls each company site periodically, noting changes.
When it spots a change, it records this as a time series transaction in its database.
The above has resulted in the database that today:

has more than 15m companies (with the number of records growing each day);
has in excess of 500m historical company change events (transactions);
is adding more than 13m new company change events per month.
How accurate is aiHitdata?
Part of aiHitdata’s AI/ML system is an automated QA management array. This is one of the most complex parts of the system. aiHitdata monitors both completeness and accuracy of its data. It is focused on keeping transaction data quality at a very high level. This enables it to be used for predictive analytics.

aiHitdata collects and monitors more than 100 different fields of data. For key fields it is achieving and maintaining an accuracy rate in excess of 90%.
Witnesses for which side? Or was it both sides?
Haha Valve comes nowhere close to Blizzard or other developers. Blizzard at least updates their most popular games more than once every 6 months and doesn't leave them to die.

I think the fact we're even discussing a "replication" crisis points to some small movement in academic research to address this (some journals are changing / have changed policies as a result).

There's probably different causes at different times. Some of these effects that are the target of replication tests are relatively older, when people were less aware of some of this phenomena. To be fair, some of this stuff is unintuitive: for example, some of the major journals would require internal replications, over several samples, the rationale being that if someone shows an effect in 5 samples with slightly different designs, it's probably "real." It's not like some of these things were just based on single samples (although some of them certainly were). Of course, now people are aware that 5 small samples does not large-sample replication make.

My intuition is that another cause is that academics is flooded with researchers collecting a lot of data, under a lot of pressure to produce positive findings to attract money. Hype, TEDtalks, grants, hypercompetition, and so forth. Academics now is horribly incentivized to be popular and bring in money (from peers, it's important to note), rather than to be correct. Add in a complex subject, like human behavior, and it's a recipe for disaster. Academics is also full of conventions, that attain the strength of power structures; when these are baked in it's hard to change them because you have people who attained power under those conventions in charge (nothing conspiratorial really, just people have their biases and blindspots).

TruePill (YC S17) | Software Engineer (Full-Stack Web / Front-End / Back-End ) | Full-Time | ONSITE | SF Bay Area

Hi! I'm one of the engineers on the team :)

TruePill is an API like Stripe, but for pharmacy.

https://imgur.com/a/yeGpu4Z (screenshots of our new web site b/c current one is not an accurate representation)

If you're interested in:

- Being an active participant in the decision-making process of a YC company rapidly capitalizing on an under-the-radar market opportunity

- Applying your technical skills to a meaningful domain outside of tech (while learning about industry insider nuances), that has real-world medical implications

- Being part of a small engineering team that not only measures daily active users but also physical products shipped, revenues, and real profits

- Being part of a small engineering team that ships not only software products but also physical products

- Watching how changes in your code physically impacts the operation of not just machines but the IRL work-flow of real people (specifically, pharmacists and technicians)

- Hands-on shipping of product and taking ownership, end-to-end! Everything from ideation --> coding --> customer delight (& wash-rinse-repeat)

then I'd love to hear from you!

Our stack: React, Node, GraphQL (+ Apollo), ES6, Raspberry Pi, AWS (RDS, ECS, CloudFront, EC2), Elasticsearch, Jenkins, Rails, Python, Linux (Ubuntu), Docker, and moar.

We have deliberately avoided press coverage around our traction, investors, and market because we have been focused on taking over the market as quickly as possible, but we will doing a formal and proper launch with more details soon!

We're in the pharmacy (not pharmaceutical) space and I'm happy to elaborate more in private for serious inquiries.

I get the pros and cons of jsx/htm (and hyperhtml/lithtml) just fine. I'm just saying that bringing up React as an example of a framework that should not be treated as a new language is not the best possible example, since it does literally come with a new language.
I posted before, but if your budget allows and there is an audience for games like yours then paying a well know streamer on twitch to play the game may work out better.

Good point.

I wonder what the situation is in China. My impression in Europe and America everyone but Tesla had standardised on one charger.
Has anyone read the book this is based on ("Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned")? I'm worried that this article is making a leap from "most successful people got there by pursuing novelty rather than goals" to "pursuing novelty is a better way than goals to become successful."
GitLab declines applications very quickly without any detail. I of course understand that their may be some department of labor politics involved "Don't tell the applicant the reason" but it sure is disappointing. My advice? Be careful with the apply with LinkedIn button. It probably makes the application look ridiculous and unworthy of a decent reply.

Except NLP is actually not machine learning. Some NLP tasks use machine learning but a lot of NLP is not ML-based (for instance rule-based TA systems).
Someone make a Github repo so we can design this new protocol!
I checked out of Amiga news after (I think) 3.5... long after most, but before some it seems. It's interesting that at some point someone redrew my "GlowIcons"... the upgraded version of the icon set that was included in the official OS used a 32 color fixed palette (that was controversial because running a 32 color WB screen was slow on old Amigas at the time). I hand-dithered them and hand-drew the "glow" in dpaint. (It would have been easier to do full-color in Photoshop and dither down but I only had an Amiga and anyway it would have looked terrible.) Thankfully at some point one of the OS developers wrote me a tool that added the glow automatically.

Come solve hard problems with us.
As others have pointed out, in statistics the goal is understanding something. Once you have understood it you can predict its behaviour. However the reverse is not true.
>Any backdoor would be visible in the code.

AFAIK, looking at the code for a Dual_EC_DRBG implementation wouldn't look backdoor'd as the backdoor was in the mathematics of the crypto itself.

Even if the code itself had a backdoor, a carefully hidden one may go undetected. Like a missing "goto" or a single equals sign; `if x = y`. An example here: https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2013/10/09/the-linux-backdoor-...

Quote:

“One of our assigned projects was to implement and train a Wasserstein GAN in TensorFlow.
At this point, I had taken only an introductory statistics class that was a required general elective, and then promptly forgotten most of it. Needless to say, my statistical skills were not very strong. Yet, I was able to read and understand a paper on a state-of-the-art generative machine learning model...Yet, if you had asked me, or most of the students in that class, how to calculate the variance of a population, or to define marginal probability, you likely would have gotten blank stares.
”

I agree that the GAN might be implementable without much stats knowledge, but I would be very surprised if someone who did not know population variances and marginal probabilities would be able to follow the Wasserstein GAN paper. Just see for yourself: https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.07875
