You can't do this kind of flamewar on HN, and we ban accounts that won't stop, so please stop.

Your account seems to have taken a heavy turn into using HN for political battle. That's not ok, and we ban accounts that do it. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use the site as intended.

The rest of the world may be radicalizing and polarizing, but HN's mandate hasn't changed and isn't going to, therefore we have to ban accounts that are destructive of it. First among those are the accounts seeking to use HN as a battlefield, which (if allowed to) would turn this place into scorched earth.

This is what a failed alien invasion / colonization attempt might look like.

A succesful splashdown, reasonable adaptation to the local conditions — and a fatal flaw speeds up development enormously, bodies replicate and die long before their brains mature. The culture is lost, the invaders turned into animals doing primitive hunting.
I had same idea few years ago. Basically, we need a new URL scheme for this, which will be able to uniquely address files from well known sets and be backward compatible with old browsers.

In supported browser, resource will be downloaded once and kept in cache for long period, maybe forever.

For example, `https://well-known.js/common-1.1/lib-1.2.js` . Browser can download just `lib.1.2.32.js` (redirected from lib-1.2.js) every time, or it can download whole `common-1.1` bundle once and keep it in separate long-time cache until it will be deprecated And when it will be deprecated, browser will just revert to old behavior.
There are many easy ways to rephrase OP's comment into one that isn't so direct and denigrating. The only thing "apparent" here is that OP has trouble with empathy.
It looks like he put himself into that situation on purpose. From https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/nov/30/facebook-...

“After coordinating for weeks with the DCMS committee, Mr Kramer traveled to the United Kingdom with documents he never should have had in the first place on his laptop for some unspecified business and checked into a hotel 1500ft away from parliament,” said Sonal Mehta, an attorney for Facebook. “He voluntarily went the 1500ft to parliament, showed up unannounced, and asked to see a member of parliament. He brought with him the confidential documents on his laptop and a thumb drive.”

It almost seems he was looking for an excuse to make those documents public.

That's was initially my choice, but wife told me "a woman with STD will not be putting a diaper on my kid's ass". Then I looked up she was referring to Jessica Alba (the owner)

The net is full of terrible reviews but the whole company marketing scheme was based on pure fear mongering. They tried to argue that other diapers are dangerous for your baby. Then when that unsubstantiated fake news got popular, Honest deleted off the website related to it and redirected everyone to their home page. Slimy.

When you're saying "Big brains" I assume you mean a higher level of cognition and awareness in some general sense, not a physically larger brain.

First I think you're getting the cause/effect of evolution backwards. For example, primates did not evolve hands so they could better grasp branches, but rather they better grasp branches because they evolved hands and so had a higher rate of survival.

So the question isn't so much "what causes complex intelligence" (your proposal being hands) but rather "why hasn't complex intelligence appeared for something like the gazelle family tree?"

It's an interesting hypothesis to say that perhaps it's because they don't have hands, but there are innumerable other factors that could also be an influence, I doubt it comes down to a lack of hands.

I'm not a biologist though so take what I'm saying here with a gigantic grain of salt.

To the author:

You might want to extend the preview PDF to include a few pages from later chapters. The issue's that the [current preview](https://pimbook.org/pdf/pim_first_pages.pdf) only gets into polynomials over its 45 pages. But since polynomials are typically taught to students during early childhood, it seems like most readers are liable to just skim that content, being more interested in the topics discussed later. For example, the start of Chapter 14 (on optimization) would be neat to see.

That said, I like the parts that translate between analytical expressions and programming code. Such mappings seem like high-value content to readers; the language barrier can keep people from understanding mathematical writing, while a few helpful translations can help to tear down those language barriers.

I think the lack of thrown weapons would be more basic than fire.

Maybe even held weapons for striking enemies. You can't swing a club underwater due to water resistance, and spears are hard to use well because you don't have feet planted to transmit the force, so you just go backwards if you try to stab something. Not to mention the lack of trees and branches with straight poles.

Meanwhile stone tools and weapons are too heavy to carry. You'll sink.

In fact every tool would either sink or float, and incur huge drag. Which makes tool use much harder overall.
It is LeCun’s personality and ego that’s responsible here. Other scientists are just explotiing it to get publicity and attention. For example see the Ali Rahimi’s alchemy speech in NIPS and the fallout: https://medium.com/@Synced/lecun-vs-rahimi-has-machine-learn...
"Knockdown" doesn't refer to gene knockdowns: http://www.releasechimps.org/research/overview/knockdowns

LeCun working for Facebook was already a disappointment.
Well I think the bigger issue for gazelles is energy density period - brains are calorie hogs and it doesn't take much cunning to track down grass. Grass eating is the opposite direction in a food strategy - going for abundant but low density food instead of chasing higher density.

A diverse diet is a bit of a hallmark of intelligence in itself in that they are able to use their brains to get more food to make it worth the investment - similarly to complex group behavior I guess.

Hermit crabs for instance are shockingly intelligent for crustaceans, especially for ones of their size. I know that improperly shut lids which while closed have enough play - they cold push from the inside causing them to rotate on their axis and let them escape. That isn't quite tool use but recognizing tools unlike anything in nature and how to manipulate them to get what they want.

Hermit crabs have both and live in large social groups and eat a diverse diet as well.

So is it immoral to eat a holiday dinner at Grandma's house without paying Grandma for cooking? Not likely. In fact, it would probably be immoral to offer payment. But it IS immoral to skip out on your bill at a restaurant, even if your grandma was the cook. Why?

The morality around payment for work is an attribute of the work having been done "for hire". It has nothing to do with the type of work, the effort involved, the skill of the worker, or the value of the benefit received. Everything is contingent on whether the work was done as a this-for-that exchange.

Copyright has nothing at all to do with work, or payment for work. Copyright turns the expression of your thoughts into property, and allows you to make rules about how that expression of ideas can be used, including selling that expression as if it were a good, or even selling the right to make the rules. It's a weird system when you think about it.

Whether or not you think this system is reasonable depends on whether or not you think that the expression of thoughts is itself property, independent of the tangible objects you create in the process.

What is NOT part of the discussion is whether or not people can or should get paid for being creative. Work-for-hire does not depend on intellectual property rights; people have been getting paid to write and draw and paint and sculpt for thousands of years before copyright ever was even a concept.
Microsoft acquired Skype in 2011, before the 2014 Ballmer/Nadella change-over. Also, Minecraft isn't exactly a start-up, but more of a celebrity among gaming projects, ranking closer to an endorsement/sponsorship deal.

Companies at that level generally have offices in big cities all over the world. In Toronto we have Airbnb, Uber, Google, etc offices for example. I think the important thing in this context is where the HQ is.
Another consideration: it looks like those of us without fb accounts probably can't even look at lists or buy for friends / family. This is a bummer on a personal level, but also limits usefulness in cases where anyone who would see the list doesn't use fb or feel comfortable using it to log in.

The funny thing is Google is the new Microsoft for precisely most of the reasons he mentions. The worst part of Microsoft's culture (empire building by middle managers) has now infected Google as well. Amazon is the only one that has been able to stave it off which seems partly due to their insanely customer obsessed culture.

Hard to tell. Methane dissipates very rapidly, making it hard to tell exactly where it came from.

For my part, I have a very hard time imagining that cow farts, which come from carbon already in the fast carbon cycle, are worse than the amount of natural gas that escapes from our wells and old distribution systems.

It’s also important to note that well managed pastures sequester carbon, which is relevant here.
Hmm...

1) Skype was purchased by Ballmer.

2) Most of the ad tech companies were also purchased by Ballmer.

3) Minecraft and Skype are not Bay Area companies

4) LinkedIn was a public company when Microsoft acquired them. So it seems like a stretch to call them a startup.

5) And finally it looks like Microsoft has done acquisitions throughout their existence. In fact, they acquired as many companies in 2007 as they did in 2018 and more in 2007 than 2017.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitio...

It doesn't seem like "buy lots of Bay Area Web 2.0 companies to infuse new talent" is the secret ingredient. Yahoo was the company that probably closest executed the strategy. That didn't go well as we all know.

Probably significant. If I were to make a SWAG, though, it would be the hard limits of dissolved oxygen on maximum metabolic output that would be the biggest showstopper. There is very little oxygen available in even the most oxygenated water compared to our atmosphere, and without a powerful oxidizing agent available to provide the chemical oomph required, there is only so much resource-hungry brain a gill-breather can support, no matter how useful the neural material would otherwise be.

How does an octopus know how to match its body with its background? All video I've seen have been with the octopus eyes up, it's not even looking at the background, so how does it know a) what the background color is, and 2) that its body is matching the background, since it's not looking at itself either.
I don't know about rote or learned but they do figure it out on the fly and are willing to go with basically anything to protect their soft abdomen and keep it from drying out rapidly - including litter if it is their only option.
Instinctual responses are generally understood to be stored within the genetic material, though I imagine like most anything, there’s a sort of continuous distribution between instinctual and learned behaviors rather than an analog black and white distinction.

Indeed, the manufacturing is more difficult because the silicon has to be thinned after fabrication of the circuitry. The lucky feature of image sensors is that the image is actually shifted to the edges of the chip by an analog shift register mechanism. But they still need an electrode structure to make the shift register work, and the light has to pass through it in front-illuminated sensors.

> But since polynomials are typically taught to students during early childhood, it seems like most readers are liable to just skim that content, ...

My view was that the initial chapter was more about how to learn mathematics generally using polynomials as a source of examples, rather than being on the subject of polynomials like you'd get in grade school.

Agreed though—I would like to see some of the later material, too :)

Edit: actually you can skip around and see more on the Amazon preview.
This is why for me, Warcraft 3 and Starcraft were my fondest memories of playing online games. The standard multiplayer was always going to be competitive, but the real wonder was in the custom games. This was before the big wave of indie game creators, so you had a bunch of people churning out interesting and creative games with the WC3 editor. The custom games were most famous for DOTA, but you had genres like Tower Defense which blew up in a big way in the custom game scene.

You had maps like wilderness survival and troll tribes, which, if you've played Don't Starve, feels largely derivative. Footmen Frenzy, Dark Deeds, Sheep Tag, Uther Party (Mario Party ripoff), LAOP, Parasite, Mars Survival, Risk knockoffs, etc. It didn't matter if you sucked at these games, because most people sucked at them; the playerbase for each custom game was pretty small. A good time for novelty - I'm hoping reforged brings back some of that magic from that scene. I played LOL after moving on from Blizzard games (Wow was never my thing), but it wasn't the same. Also, very toxic. Not a great game for casual players.
If that was the intention, then there could just be a counter indicating how many had been purchased by others, but it only needs to appear if that is non-zero. That seems like the far more obvious way to do it. I don't know how you get to the "0 of 1" strategy without trying to trick people. The 1 is completely made up.

"primates did not evolve hands so they could better grasp branches, but rather they better grasp branches because they evolved hands and so had a higher rate of survival."

We agree that it can be difficult to distinguish causation from correlation, and in this case you may be right that the survival advantage conferred by better grasp of branches might have been a "bonus" or helpful side-effect, rather than an adaptive trait directly informing our ancestors' evolution. But I don't think it's so clear-cut or obvious.
