You do, but, when you're in a context where you're speaking a language, you're also thinking in that language. I wouldn't be surprised if that has an influence on one's thought processes.

Concrete example: I have less of a tendency toward hyperbole when I'm speaking my 2nd language. The reason why is simple: I don't know many hyperbolic idioms in that language, so I lack the ability to express myself hyperbolically. But I think it goes a step further: Lacking the vocabulary, I have a hard time even having hyperbolic thoughts when I'm thinking in that language.

(That said, I don't want to suggest that this is somehow an aspect of the language itself. It seems more likely that native speakers have about the same range of expression as native speakers of any other language, and I'm just lacking it because of my limited familiarity.)
I believe the mainstream take on climate change - but it’s worth noting that you can’t even become a climatologist today if you disagree with the mainstream view of climate change.

So it shouldn’t exactly surprise us that most of them agree.
Me too. One of the dumbasses apparently...
Same with my wife and I. We have already been hemming and hawing with our parents about buying high quality products as a general rule – nothing against Fisher Price or Greco, but we have just decided on nicer things – and in this spirit have intentionally selected a diaper subscription service rather than buying certain other brands via Walmart/Target/Amazon/etc. (In fact, we originally rejected the idea of a baby shower or registry so that we could just buy everything ourselves).

Anyways, we were surprised to see packages of Huggies showing up on our doorstep. Not only did we never add Huggies to the registry, we never added any diapers period. When we checked the registry again, we saw some Huggies ads spliced in discretely and almost imperceptibly. It speaks to our modern day lives that we simply said "wow, they put an ad in our registry... guess that's what Amazon does now" and just kicked off the return process. We've probably wound up with >$100 in Amazon credits based on returned Huggies at this point.
It like 100% ziprecruiter now.
There are people on the record saying certain kinds of results simply shouldn’t be published.

Also, anybody who views climate prediction as intrinsically suspect pseudoscience isn’t going to want to enter the field either.
Aren't you basically saying that long copyright terms stifle creativity by encouraging brand owners to reuse existing characters ad nauseam rather than coming up with new ones?

The description got me excited, but looking at the table of contents, the level is ultra basic - appears to roughly correspond to first year of a cs degree.
My friends and i, are the other 4 people experienced in thing. We have been also experimenting with flopnax the ropjar and experimental rilkef. We experimented tool in diferent conditions and used diferent thing to run the test and generate the complete final detailed report about stuff.

The details look very much the same in every diferent condition. Very similar with your results. To our surprise the management intervened to escalate the issue to superiors. At some point, thing reached the CEO of company.

The CEO hired 2 new teams to research in parallel to discover why flopnax the ropjar is femtoseconds slower than experimental rlkef. Now each team does thing difrent ways. We use diferent tool to do thing.

Let me know about your progress on subject. We can thing together, share tool and results.

Good luck friend!
> Makes scanning a page a much more cumbersome so that you don't click on the garbage products they advertise.

Which, I imagine, is the entire point. The ideal outcome, from Amazon's perspective, is that you can't simply scan a page and tune out the ads. As long as people are just "annoyed" and not "leaving the platform in droves," the ad creep will continue.
mariadb's Business Source License (https://mariadb.com/bsl11) is consistent with what you describe, though without any assurances during the proprietary phase

That's all well and good, but what about the fact that both flopnar and ropjax fail to support shallow typing?

Sure, every modern coder uses a deep throw mechanical keyboard, but won't someone spare a kind thought for us old school nerds who still use laptops?

Not only that, but both systems require the use of monochromatic fonts!
I was just about to comment about the TI Calculator version! Pretty cool and worth checking out as well.

So I often read the HN comments before reading an article.
In this instance the comments gave me no idea what this site is about.

Looking at the site gave me no idea what the site is about.
Non-linear combination of PDAF information, along with the contents of the images themselves is an interesting demonstration of the power of neural networks. The general concept of non-linear combination is likely how our brains work too.

Given that they built just one testing rig, and they use information like "commonly known object sizes" for depth, I wonder if they are using any transfer learning at all? I imagine whoever is bringing that rig around can't look at all objects, and transferring the knowledge of "common object sizes" and even what an object is can be hugely valuable for such a project.

I bet this is also a sneak peak into how powerful self-driving cars can be at Waymo. Not only do such cars have access to human data (sights, sounds), they can have way more sensors which can combine in a neural network to predict things way better than humans. For example, a NN could infer the chance a pedestrian might veer from the sidewalk into the streets by analyzing:

- The psychological state of a person using a high res camera on the face.

- Using chromographs to see if the pedestrian is drunk.

- Infrared cameras to see the person's temperature / if she's excited, etc.

- Limb modeling and likely walking paths.
The impression I'm starting to get is that the dealers sometimes fail to mix properly when cutting the product. This means that one batch can create doses with widely varying concentrations.

Then you get cases where one distributor dilutes their product so much that their customers get used to taking very large amounts to get a high. Then one of those customers switches to another supplier with a "more normal" concentration and unwittingly overdoses.

Then there's the people that develop a tolerance to the drug over time, and keep trying higher and higher doses to get the same high.

And all of that is before you get into measuring errors and other mistakes caused by people doing complex chemistry without any formal training.
Job hunt:

Old way of thinking. Search jobs. Most jobs pay 100k. Most paying 120k are beyond my experience level so I'm worth 100k.

New way: Jobs pay on some kind of probability distribution. Might be a normal one but who cares. If I apply for enough jobs I can earn with some probability that I control a much higher amount for the same level of work.
I’m aware that personas are often based upon insights from real people, but I question the value of repackaging the insights as a new, made up person. It introduces distractions and invites stereotypes. Just use real quotes and observations, statistics if it makes sense, and focus on describing typical or recurring situations or behaviors that are relevant to what you’re using the research for. A hair color or favorite snack isn’t going to be helpful.
Chain grocery stores, at least, must have a running total in their internal systems. They know how much product was delivered from the supplier. They know how much product has been sold (at least for countable items).

It does seem plausible that they do not have an API for Instacart to interface with, though.

A 20% no-fill rate (which seems about right in my experience in NYC) is far too high for most use cases, and so either they'll have to figure out something to get accurate counts, or it's a forced win for someone with an integrated warehouse.
This is a funny subthread considering the first useful refactoring tools were for dynamic languages[0], not static ones. Static types might have some advantages for a refactoring tool, but dynamic languages have their advantages too that might make a refactoring tool easier to create.[1]

Can refactoring tools miss something? Sure, but this holds true for various static languages too. Don't sell the nonsense of 100%. Find me a Java IDE that won't miss reflection calls. (Personally I can point to a tool for Java that moves the bar above 0, but it also isn't 100%.)

Just because you're used to shitty dynamic languages isn't a statement about dynamic languages in general or the possible tooling, anymore than being used to shitty static languages is a statement about static languages in general or the possible tooling. I also see someone conflating "dynamic" with "untyped"/"non-typed" -- there are very few untyped languages, let alone in wide use, "dynamic" doesn't mean the same thing.

I'm looking forward to the JS version of the book just for recommendation purposes because I hope it will put a rest to so many of these threads about refactoring in the absence of a static type system being somehow way harder or impossible.

Ultimately I think the discomfort is from fear, certain programmers practice fear-driven development. "What if the tool (or me, if I'm taking 5 mins instead of 5 seconds to do it) misses something?" It's the same fear with people who can't imagine refactoring without unit tests, but who need to refactor legacy code to get it under test. You can do these things, they're not particularly difficult, but if you're suffering from fear, I'm not going to convince you. Maybe a book + examples would though.

Ralph Johnson: "We originally thought that the lack of static type-checking would make it hard to build a refactoring browser for Smalltalk. Lack of type information is a disadvantage, but the advantages of Smalltalk made it a lot easier to make a refactoring browser for Smalltalk than it would have have been for C++ or Java."
So is the solution here just to hire these personas into your marketing department? Is this what all the marketing interns are for?
> if we do X we can sell more' which has naturally aligned incentives.

Even then there are agency problems which mean that once a company gets over a certain size there is no natural alignment.

I know plenty of managers tweaking A/B tests until they get the results they want.
The CFP for Flopnaxconf 2019 opens shortly, we're just working on contracting the venue and nailing down a sufficiently hip theme!
Here's my view on this controversy (from someone who is not involved in the field).

Historically there seem to be three views. One is the classic symbolic manipulation view, the second is what seems to be the ml view, and then there is the hybrid view that Marcus advocates.

The first two views seem to have in common believing that their single approach alone would be sufficient for AGI. Marcus thus differs from both of them in that he thinks neither is sufficient.

Assuming Marcus is taking the right approach, the question then becomes whether the hybrid approach could reach AGI. In my opinion it could not, though it probably would be able to out-think human beings in some important ways.
The paradox is resolved if you consider yourself an advertiser. When you pay for "ad free", it's equivalent to bidding on yourself and then showing yourself nothing. A serious bidder could bid higher than you on your own self.

As China Seeks Scientific Greatness, Some Say Ethics Are an Afterthought
Thing is, Swiss are a purely civic nation, not an ethnic one - just like Americans. So your complaint that you "have almost nothing in common with the Red Tribe" is important to understand in context - the American civic nation is no longer a thing as a single entity, but it wasn't always the case. And for Swiss, it is the case today, but it is not necessarily the case tomorrow. What keeps a civic nation together is its politics, and if you get a sufficiently broad rift in the populace, that can kill it.
Medicaid has special "spousal protections" to handle exactly this situation.
So what information could they see? Could they see posts and shares? If they installed the app from before? I mean you can find right wingers by looking at all of the right wing pages on Facebook and seeing who is in them. I can't imagine it's that difficult.
> Our field of view is incredible, and if we’re going to admit we like watching movies we may as well do the best we can to make the experience immersive.

Except that the actual part of our field of vision our brain can focus on is relatively small and cinema favors pictorial representations where it's appropriate to grasp the "whole image". What you're describing is VR, whose tech isn't TV.
As someone who works as a programmer but wasn’t super interested in mathematics, I’ve found this blog to be a fantastic read time and time again. I’d highly recommend going through Jeremy’s previous posts if this is your first time seeing his site on here.

The problem is: who is going to tag? If it is the submitter they may get it wrong. Who will police that? Mods have enough to do.

What if the mods tag it? Well they have enough to do!

You'd need community moderation like StackOverflow for something like this to work. On HN there is just flagging and upvoting. Flagging for a wrong tag seem OTT though.
Still potentially useful for people who got into programming by some path that doesn't include a CS degree.
Why is this news? Everyone does this, including the nytimes. The nytimes marketing department offers their clients on all kinds of identifying/targeting traits for advertising.

From your fashion to your viewing habits to which news you consuming to even the types of pets you have and everything in between is used. Where you work, where you live, what kind of parenting situation you have, etc.

Isn't that the point of political and corporate advertising? Isn't this why the nytimes and cambridge analytica is in business? Is the obvious "news" now because of trump and the "right wing"?

Considering the DNC spent a lot more money than the RNC the past few elections, there are far more organizations who targeted left-wing voters than right-wing voters. But I guess the nytimes doesn't want to write an article about itself and its ad team and their clients.
It's very likely that you just think they're "featureless and quite hard for marketers to target."

Democracy leading to tyranny of the majority in form of a popularly approved authoritarian leader is unfortunately common, and not just in Africa - I'm from a country that walked that path as well. I don't know if it's because Western liberal democracies are more educated, or because their political culture evolved certain safeguards over time, but there clearly is a difference, and it's not elitist to point it out.
I think there was a time last year when a couple of mattress brands were sponsoring the entire podcasting world. Quite amazing really, it shows that even a medium priced mattress has a staggering amount of margin. Makes me wonder why I am in the software business. (!!)
Maybe journalism should come with a liability - as in spreading missinformation and blowing hot air into the flames of civil war like debate is something that you could be held liable for. If enough people cite you as the source of the information for their bad decisions, you should be held financially acountable.
It took me multiple movies watching over time to start seeing the difference between HD and 4K. I certainly couldn't care about 8K at a single demo.
Nombreux Hommages Au Président Bush – Osvaldo Villar 2018
I think you're missing the cost/benefit calculation. Using any software makes you vulnerable to your software being compromised. But we take that risk because we get something out of using software. If you want to run Windows apps, you need Windows. AV software is different because they open up vulnerabilities, but don't give you any benefits. You can't run Excel without Windows; you can run it without AV software. So adding AV software requires some careful thought as to whether or not the cost/benefit is worth it. What the above comments are saying is that in a world where Windows Defender exists, installing third-party AV software is not worth it. The cost outweighs the benefit.
Certainly more than just the first year, and I don't think the majority of CS degrees require multivariable calc or any group theory.

I do wish there were more of a preview than just the TOC to see how novel the examples are and how much it helps with intuition for these mathematical concepts beyond what you would learn in a plain CS sequence. That would be my reason for buying the book and I wouldn't write it off just because the list of topics covers the first two years of college math.

Both you and the journalist are just speculating. Who knows their real reasons? Many darknet markets do allow listings for firearms and explosives, and a few even allow child porn. Ross Ulbricht had no issue with murdering people, and attempted to do so.
True.

However, one thing that 8K would be really good at is zooming content: even if zoomed at 10x, the image would still look good.

Admittedly, I have no idea why someone would want to zoom video content.

>> Symbolic AI fell out of favor primarily because it was not delivering results in impactful problem areas.

My understanding is instead that symbolic AI was working pretty damn well for its time. Expert systems routinely outperformed experts, for sure. The AI winter that killed them was brought on by political decisions taken by people who didn't really understand the field.

Here's a good read on that historical period:

Btw, "Intelligent Systems" is such a funny little expression. Basically, it was used by AI researchers during the 80's AI winter to be able to get funding for their work; because they wouldn't get any if they called it what it was, AI.
