AD arbitrary julia code with mutation, closures, built in and user defined functions, fancy data structures etc (given the algorithm itself can be differentiated).
Sorry, to be clear, there usually isn't any machine learning involved (at least not in the examples I'm familiar with), but the rest of the process is very similar. My point is just that it's not a new workflow and it's not something that the existing tools can't do; better predictions can reduce the search space and/or the number of iterations, but unless they're suddenly an order of magnitude more accurate, it's still an incremental improvement. It's difficult to guess from the CASP results how well this approach will reduce the number of false positives, which as I understand it is a big bottleneck in the design process - IMHO that's a much more interesting problem to solve than ab initio prediction, although they're closely related.
I'm just waiting for someone to make a kubernetes config generator based on googles GCL (not opensource, but this is an opensource clone of it, although without k8s integration/examples: https://github.com/rix0rrr/gcl).

I feel it has almost limitless flexibility, without requiring either boilerplate or complexity where you don't need it. Nothing else comes close in that regard.
Even with some of them being in constant use, the math still doesn't work out.
Physics is quite a stretch and yet denying biology isn’t... This is an anti-science, ideological stance.
I've never been in a car accident, and hopefully that day will never come. Yet I wear a seat belt every time I'm in a car.

Chance of getting falsely accused of anything sexual is on average probably very slim, but the fallout of such an accusation can be devastating.
Oh, wow, I realized I started doing 2) a couple of months ago, because one of my coworker is thinking in completely different ways about code in general, which forces me think in completely new and different ways. I already questioned my judgement about "good" or "bad" and started thinking in terms of "different" and I'm truly starting to believe it.
Teensy 3.1 bare metal: Writing a USB driver (2014)
Don't know why anyone pays any attention to C.S. Lewis. The books he's most famous for, (e.g. "Mere Christianity") are laughably bad.
It's not a matter of going to war. The Saudi regime has been propped up by the U.S. since WWII as a means of projecting power over the Arabian peninsula. It's not the same as say Russia or China. The U.S. has a direct role in enabling the crimes of the Saudi regime, and very likely the withdrawal of that support would effect change.
It really depends on a number of factors, but someone should get back to you relatively soon.

To be fair, after seeing homeless people playing around with them and even peeing on them, im not getting close to any of them.
I liked it so much, I bought my own for my commute. It kept me from buying a second car, and ultimately saving 25 miles of driving each day.
not so much about protecting us as making sure that the content that advertisers get shown next to is "safe" and "brand friendly"
At large enough scale there is no mattress. Keeping a billion in cash has storage and transport overhead, while keeping it in bonds is a simple matter of accounting.
Nah, those are annualized figures. Buying a three months four times will give you ~2.32.
Physical assault is wide ranging, from unwanted groping (touching body without permission) all the way to rape. Verbal harassment is wide ranging, from something creepy said in passing to violent language used constantly.

I don’t think it’s hard to imagine being more threatened and traumatised and violated by someone in a position of privilege detailing the ways they want to have sex with you in graphic detail every day you interact with them, than threatened/violated/traumatised by a drunk person at a party grabbing at your body without permission.

It really doesn't have anything to do with old books as such. It's more about reading the actual thing rather than later commentaries and summaries on the thing, if you want to know what the thing said. In the case of, say, CS, it would mean reading On Computable Numbers, With An Application To The Entscheidungsproblem rather than someone else's book/article about what Turing said in his seminal paper.
By not having one? This must be a trick question.
> An authoritarian oppressive government that has the support of the majority of the population is still an authoritarian and oppressive government.

This is indeed the neoconservative view. An analogous statement by a sectarian neoconservative might be "A heathen government that has the support of the majority of people is still a heathen government".

> Either it's okay to aid and abet political repression, or it's not.

Binary, over-simplification.

What is political repression? Does America's Gitmo count? Our imprisonment of nonviolent drug offenders? Our criminalization of sex work? How is it that the source of all the righteous indignation happens to lie on the other side of the world?

> ...they're not just hapless victims of their government, then they're welcome to put pressure on said government

So the Chinese people are being tested now to see if they have the mettle to demand a free society in the image of the USA? Your remark actually supports my point that the neoconservative view entails judgment (and the process of dehumanization) of the population that is first framed as victims, then shamed for not prioritizing one political cause above all else.

Note, the idea that China should adopt policies in the image of the USA is where the neocon view merges with the white supremacist view. The idea that the precise nuances of Western democracy are innately superior due to the unique cultural circumstances that gave rise to the US, making them less likely to occur elsewhere.

When I was a kid, I had this toy that was a cardboard tube with a 12-14" plastic parabolic dish on it and a microphone at the focus with earphones. It was surprisingly effective at letting you hear conversations from long-ish distances.

Reading this page made me wonder just how good the NSA's version of that toy is these days assuming they've got multi-microphone and signal processing gear at least as good as (and probably an order or two of magnitude better than) what Apple will sell you for a few hundred bucks...

Hi gain 2.4/5GHz antennas aren't "necessary" for wardriving, but they make new things possible if you do use them...
"Heroin itself is very safe"

Heroin might be relatively safer than fentanyl. It's a terrible drug that ruins live and families and has been for centuries. It irreversibly harms your brain, wrecks your veins, is the most addictive common drug, and is tolerance-forming.
I would just like to point out that this story dropped 18 places in 5 minutes:

http://hnrankings.info/18591766/

This is something I've seen before, but solely with stories pertaining to Elon Musk. It is very clear that HN rankings are being manipulated for a specific agenda. This saddens me, as HN is otherwise a place I trust for informed and balanced commentary.

(Note: I am not necessarily accusing the moderators of HN of anything here; I almost always agree with their interventions, even when seemingly heavy-handed. I know that running a community is hard. I suspect that something else is going on here.)
Why didn't you buy an electric bike? For 25 miles that would be way more comfortable.
All rates are APY, not the time interval of the bond.
If I choose to serve my IP to Google in full for free, that doesn't mean I'm choosing to serve it to everybody in full for free. Just because you can trick me into thinking you're Google doesn't give you the moral or the legal right to my content.
Helmets are important (I always wear one,) however, government ought not force people to wear them. Freedom still should matter. Grown adults should be able to make their own decisions. I support helmet laws for the under 18 crowd, but for grown adults? Too much nanny state for my liking.
It doesn't, but it's not supposed to.
This is...rather exaggerated. Scores based on residue distance-matrices have been around for a long time and don't perform especially well, so it was surprising to me that the method described on the webpage would trounce the competition. Then I read the abstract....

While the description of method (page 11 from this paper: http://predictioncenter.org/casp13/doc/CASP13_Abstracts.pdf) is pretty vague, they make clear that much of their scoring and structure refinement uses the scoring function from Rosetta. That's a tell that the neural-network part of the method probably isn't sufficient to pick out good structures. The AI, in this case, is generating fragments (which is not exceptionally different from what Rosetta already does), and doing a beta-carbon-distance score.

Basically, the machine-learning part is generating protein fragments and quickly stack-ranking structures that are created by monte carlo search. Everything else is done by a much more complicated physical model that has little/nothing to do with AI.

4chan just split the SFW parts into 4channel for advertiser reasons, so its clearly a feasible idea
Maybe some parking areas for cars can be replaced in favor of scooters and bikes in certain places. Its interesting how we accept that cars are allowed to park nearly everywhere in cities. It's just normal - scooter and bikes will be a new normal also. But hopefully not in addition but instead of cars in some areas.
The Man Who Was Hollywood (1989)
Yep, and it's massively complicated by the age of the software. Most of Ambrosia's catalog was released in the 90s -- most of the consulting groups involved have probably long since been acquired or dissolved, any contact information Ambrosia had for the developers is probably stale, and some of the developers may no longer even be alive to grant permission.
Tbh I do not get what your saying and their connection with my statements.

But mine probably appears the same to you...
Ask HN: Questions to ask investors for professional services firm?
so i started a boutique professional services firm some years back, and an investment firm has approached me who want to acquire it all and merge it with a bunch of other similar area firms.

Our company has no debt, 20 people, three global offices, all organic growth. We don't "NEED" the investment, we are doing great, but this will skyrocket our potential growth.

What are some questions I should ask investors during our initial meet? What are things I need to watch out for?

How did you know what to patch?

Sounds like a potential GDC or Gamasutra writeup.
> Cosby, Weinstein

I see your point now.

> decades of independent accusations may reasonably add up to a bit more than the initial presumed innocence. It's the formalization of this new standard (which many/most already agree to) that I'm open to.

How much is 'a bit more' then?

You're essentially saying we should be allowed to substitute evidence if enough people vouch for a claim. In which case, to what degree of guilt can we attribute a person based on this metric?

If the degree has any significance, how is this different than mob-rule Justice?

And you're claiming many/most people already agree to this standard?
Lime has the lime green color on their scooters and Bird's name at least implies mobility.

I'm a junior with 6+ months experience, my primary drives are learning, sharing, and gaining as much exposure as I can. In addition to my normal work on an ecommerce platform, I enjoy coding puzzles and challenges daily, as well as mathematical and physics based challenges.
To a certain degree, it's not unfounded. The spaces we exist in can have a profound impact on how we operate, what we think about, how much energy we have, etc. This is intuitive to anyone: At the extremes, compare coding in a garbage heap, in the office, and at home (even without the associated distractions [eg kids, meetings, the uh.. garbage compactor], the difference you "feel" is immediate)

So then, as you would in any area, you take that intuition, and you become an expert in it, and you realize that with a sufficient number of small improvements you can enact very large ones in total. Theoretically, it should be possible to build an environment thats somehow absolutely perfect from programming in, and creating let's say a 40% boost in productivity with no significant downsides. Replicate the model repeatedly, and 40% programming productivity boost won't simply improve the programmers; the benefits will cascade, likely leading to improvements across the board.

Alternatively, you have the impact of symbols, in things like a grand church.. A city will with a religious superstructure has a distinctly different feel than a city with minor churches here and there. The culture of the populace is very obviously affected, though perhaps why might not be. It might simply be the fear of god being ever-present, or perhaps the general knowledge that most in the area will naturally be tied to that particular religion, or maybe even the simple fact that its a damned impressive feat of human engineering

Architecture clearly has a significant impact on us, so its not that hard to believe that, were you successful and skilled enough, you could make a very significant impact; However, I'm not of the belief that most architecture is (at least by intention), and I don't think we have much hope for it in the near-future. But the potential is always there.

PS: Also note that I'm a strong believer in Christopher Alexander's perspective on living architecture (don't buy that much into pattern theory specifically, though obviously it works well for CS), and ofc Ram's Form follows Function, and those two ideas are what inform most of my opinion on how architecture should be treated
With regards to China, we opened up trade with them in the 70s and our companies helped build up their economy by offshoring there.

But again, this Khashoggi guy is one guy, a Saudi citizen...not ours. We don't deal with any other country like this...what makes Khashoggi so important as to disrupt treaties and trade deals between nations?
This isn't a new situation either: I can remember colleagues in the '80s refusing to work on products that were used to simulate nuclear weapons (by agencies building them).
A few years ago, my dad gave me my grandfather's history textbook from when he was in high school in the 1930s in California. That was an interesting read.

In addition to it having a slight racist bent when discussing non-European civilizations, it contained facts that are now considered to be nonsense. The further in the past it went, the more it contradicted what are now considered to be well-known facts about the past.

It really demonstrated the many decades of changes in attitudes toward non-European people and all the incredible things that have been discovered since then through archeology, carbon-dating, and genetics.

I thought it worth reading to give me an insight on how people thought back then and their view of the world.
Especially hurtful to people who have limited mobility and get around with a wheelchair, walker, crutches, or have trouble bending down to move them out of the way. On top of that I've seen them left in bushes, in the street taking up parking space, or blocking doors or gates.
Just noticed them in my parents' town (50k population) this past weekend.

Someone somehow managed to abandon one on the roof (7th floor) of my work building. Getting the damn thing down to the ground floor and out of the building was not a lot of fun. Moving it locked up the wheels and triggered the alarm. It even announced through a speaker that it was "calling the police." With some help I was able to get it down, moved into a service elevator, and escorted out of the building. The stupid thing would not shut up. Someone must have come by and collected it because it was gone by the end of the day.

Pain in the ass, and the company, in typical Silicon Valley fashion, didn't have any information on their website about how to contact a real person or to report an abandoned scooter. If this is going to be a regular thing, where I have to be an impromptu scooter wrangler, I want my cut :)
I am also in favor of dedicating some parking spots of cars to alternative transports, like scooters. Cars all over the place is just as "ugly" as scooters.
I know bird is hq'ed in santa monica, so that would partly explain the numbers
Oh my fscking god... the comments in this thread are just... It's like trying to explain to a 5 years old why candys are not free...

If it's behind a paywall, it's because the creators want you to pay for the content. It doesn't matter if you can bypass the paywall with a user agent hack or if you must install daemon tools and use 54 different keygens and cracks and patches and firewalls to block ping-home requests. It just doesn't matter because you're tampering the paywall and getting for free what the creators of the content are willing to charge for.

I mean... how damn brain dead do you have to be to not understand that?
Peter is a director, and Urs is a senior VP. As such, they are now both on the management ladder. I think the article was discussing only people who were on the eng ladder.

Waymo’s ambitious plans for high-speed taxis could be holding it back
Oddly enough, I assume the Google advancement structure values anything but stability. You launch products to get promoted. Maintaining them is for fools and losers.

Granted, I have no inside information. That just fits the externally observable information and the tiny amount of corporate politics that occasionally makes its way public.
We're trying to keep to the west coast of the US, mostly just to ease time differences. By the nature of the company we are remote-friendly in general (ask the folks planting in a post-burn site in rural Oregon last week, for example).

But for the right person(s) - mission driven and talented - constraints like that can ease.

That's for a more software-oriented person of course. Hardware engineers will need to be closer to the metal. Or rather carbon fibre.
A bike is safer? Definitely need some citations for that. Versatility is debatable. I can fold my scooter and put it under my table at a restaurant or toss it into the trunk of a car. Scooters are also extremely low maintenance: no flat tires, no need to carry a pump or patch kit.
Transgenderism has existed for more than 100 years. PT barnum had them as bearded ladies. So why not allow people to lie to your face about their age? Or their credit, or whatever they want to lie about to cover for some insecurity they have that they don’t know how to cope with? There aren’t five bagillion genders either. Sorry biology got me covered here all you haters of scientific facts.
Good idea. I just checked mine, in California, and it also says "Sex: M".

It also unjustly classifies me as having "BRN" hair. I don't have brown hair, I have dark brown hair, and a particular shade of brown hair that isn't captured by the government's arbitrarily chosen tetradecimal categorization scheme. Hair color is a spectrum, and they should recognize that by ending the practice of falsely categorizing people into inaccurate groups.

Similarly, they commit the same act of violence against me by classifying my eyes as "BRN", when I am sure my eyes' unique hue is not precisely #A52A2A.
