Mostly due to strides made in color reproduction and screen panel quality, and more recently due to support for higher frame rates. The gains from increasing the resolution have been minimal.
Political has multiple meanings in English, and I think this use is legitimate.

This could be just anchoring bias. But I think it's much more likely that people after Millikan did not want to look bad in front of their professional peers for fear of social and professional consequences. Which I think is something we can reasonably call political.
>8K has far fewer aliasing artifacts than 4K when you embed a picture-in-picture thumbnail of one news service's report on another news service

This is simply mitigating the effects of a poor quality resampling algorithm, not a true advantage of 8K. At common viewing distances, you could get the same visual result on a 4K panel by resampling with a correct anti-aliasing filter.
There were only a handful of useful weapons, the others were crap, and most the time if you had one of them you'd waste the round.

Same with the maps, the more complex maps would turn into a silly game of people being completely lost looking for the bombing sites, trying to find each other and not knowing were to go.

The same maps and weapons was the only way to have a direct match with full action.

Anyway there were some more maps that were usually played beyond dust and aztec, like dust2, italy, inferno, nuke, cbble, and also the fun ones like rats, or the ones that changed a bit the rules of the game, like pool, sniper maps, and so on.

But you could tell that you were playing cs too much, when you found yourself playing jumping maps...
What I find fascinating is that NLP tools today can learn to translate between two languages even without a dictionary or a parallel corpus. That says something about the relations that exists between languages.

> From July to October 2018, we’ve seen 126 paid trial signups from “podcast.”

We all know surveys lie (even if they're required) so the conversion numbers aren't telling the whole story. If my company were burning tall coin like this and not somehow tracking micro-conversions I'd probably have to tell the marketing lead sorry no holiday bonus for the next 38 years.

Honestly they could've probably hired a temp-worker with a good voice and a lot of Podcasting buddies and gained more traction for the cost of feeding a homeless man. What a colossal waste of resources.
It must be so easy and so attractive for a percentage of your alcohol to just go missing.

Can you explain further? Are you saying SSL doesn’t provide the security a normal person thinks, there is more unencrypted traffic outbound than a normal person thinks, or that the unencrypted headers of the otherwise encrypted traffic are more valuable to a hacker than a person might think?
I see. That does make sense, like making a MIT version of GPL reference code.

Having more researchers avaliable to audit code seems like it would help prevent flaws from slipping through, too, to prevent false conclusions.

Thank you for explaining a bit more.
I play my Xbox about four feet from my 55” 4K and text looks terrible at that distance. There may not be much of a difference if you’re watching a movie six feet away but it’s silly to say there are no use cases for 8k.

Frank Lloyd Wright died in 1959. Article says his son-in-law responsible for it.
If you mean by "the same world view" that I believe there is a difference between right and wrong. Then yes, I entirely agree with the terrorists and dictators on that point.

I'd imagine some terrorists and dictators like beer and chocolate-covered pretzels as much as I do. If so, I agree with terrorists and dictators about that too.

But we do have a difference of opinions when it comes to deliberately blowing up children or building theocratic states, for example.
I think you misunderstood the sentence. OP is saying TA's password advice (except for "use a password manager") is antiquated.
In a sense this is arguably what podcast advertisers are paying for, these kind of “amusing side-commentaries” in podcast ads tread a grey area between advertisement and paid personal endorsement. The best podcasters are relatively self-aware of this grey area and avoid accepting ad money from products they don’t personally believe are worthwhile to their listeners. Podcast advertisers are effectively paying to borrow the good will that often exists between a podcaster and their fans to try and sell products/services, which I suspect must have a pretty robust conversion rate, judging by the speed at which podcast advertising has grown.

The relationship between listeners and podcasts hosts is surprisingly intimate for a broadcast medium.
How is block chain not also a trivial example and an incrementally better version of previous technology? It addresses a tiny, tiny problem compared to items on that chart. If you're claiming that things on that chart are shorter because they're less important, then blockchain, being even less important no matter how you believe it, falls into the same argument.

That chart has for recent things gaining widespread adoption: internet, cellphone, computer, (left off web adoption), microwave. Do you think the blockchain is actually bigger than any of those?

Or is it more likely what it has shown so far - nearly zero benefit compared to the claims? It's not like it hasn't had ample time to blossom and get integrated into everywhere. It simply solves a problem almost no one needs solved.
Is that really temperament? I always thought of that as learned behavior necessary to survive in an academic context, where one's fate is for years in the hands of various authorities who can cause you a great deal of harm.
Same. We have a nice 1080p OLED and most things we watch look beautiful in 1080p. Plus these new 4K panels come with tons of weird processing and effects like motion blur, etc.

I’m still not convinced that 4K is a viable format. They’re still cranking out 480p DVDs, a technology that was supposed to be supplanted 12 years ago by Blu Ray.
Alexa and Google Home ‘have capacity to predict if couple struggling’
how many papers important results are simply bugs?

Numerical code is already bug prone due to subtle and hard to test errors, research code that's not code reviewed or necessarily even tested for correctness can easily generate important results erroneously.

It's also counter-productive not to publish the underlying source code for these papers, as it adds a barrier to other researchers applying the algorithm in new situations. I'd be interested in seeing if those 6% of papers which include the code get more citations than the population of papers which do not include code.
>"Are you honestly saying that medicine (a branch of biology) is not a "hard science"? That epidemiology, or genetics, or oncology isn't?"

These fields in particular are not even close to being hard, especially oncology which appears to (somehow) be even worse off than psychology.[1:3]

I bet less than 1% of people with masters or greater in a bio field have used calculus for anything in the last 5 years. While of course the definition of "hard science" is arbitrary, here are some decent overviews of the differences between physics and bio:

Its a long article but he’s advocating for a hybrid approach to deal with problems that DNNs encounter today which he believes are fundamental to DNNs (reasoning, causality). An example of such an approach taken with success is given at the end: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.04574.pdf
> Because your storage requirements would grow indefinitely as you would need to store a record for every task ever performed.

The only info that needs to be stored is the ID of the finished task. If, say, the ID is expressed as a GUID then we're talking about 4 ints or 2 longs worth of data.

Even so, these records are supposed to be garbage collected.
But what if the link text itself contains the most important part of the content? For example the title of a news article?.
Just take a look at some cheap consumer camera photo prints from eighties and nineties. Those prints were pretty blurry, 640x480 was pretty comparable.
I'm really excited about the way this is progressing. As a way to think of it (and not demote it in any way) is that it's like PropTypes with React done with reusability and less verbosity. The reference to GraphQL really makes it clear that we want deep separated specification.

OLED is not back lit, so it probably looks better than plasma once you account for the higher pixel density. I haven’t done a side by side comparison though.
Yeah, one shot learning in humans is built on top of enormous model representations of the world built up over many years, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re a bit premature in trying to pull it off in ML other than in very simple cases.
10 years ago this was cute, now it's obnoxious. I'm glad Baker's Keyboard Lounge is still around though.
At 4k resolution, a 30-40 inch monitor gives noticeably improved text quality (even when I could only get it at 30hz). Part of the reason for this is that we're looking at the screen from 2.5-3 feet away, rather than the ~6ft viewing distance that is common for TVs.

It's hard to describe the difference, except that I have two monitors side by side -- one a 4k, and one a 1440p, and the difference is noticeable. Even when I scale the 4k monitor so that the window size is the same, the text quality is still noticeably easier to read.

So a 4k H265 HVEC stream is 12mbit./sec. I assume 8k is the double, 24mbit/sec. That doesn't sound too outrageous from the point of view of media consumption. Syndication, multiplexing, production, post production and handling of 8k .. sounds harder
> When I choose a language for examples in my writing, I think primarily of the reader. I picked Java because I felt the most people would be able to understand the code examples if they were written in Java. That was the case in 1997, but how about in 2017? [...] Such a language needed to be widely popular, among the top half a dozen in language popularity surveys. It really helps to have a C-based syntax, since most programmers would recognize the basic code structure. Given that, two stood out. One was Java, still widely used and easy to understand. But I went for the alternative: __JavaScript__. [...] But the compelling reason for choosing it over Java is that isn't wholly centered on classes. There are top-level functions, and use of first-class functions is common. This makes it much easier to show refactoring out of the context of classes.

This is very interesting choice of language. I wonder whether typescript could have been a candidate as well. Although not as popular as JS, I believe most of JS community has migrated to typescript (due to obvious benefits) and it is more closer to a C-based language.
More than half of that I wouldn't advice or would have serious caveats about the advice given...

This is really a strange document...

Just a few examples:

"Don’t open emails, texts, ]...] from anyone you don’t know, don’t recognize, or weren’t expecting" <- sorry, that's not how email works. I want to get emails from strangers that care about what I do.

"Don’t use unsecure Wi-Fi networks" Largely outdated due to HTTPS and completely impractical. Everyone uses the Wifi at starbucks.

"Even better, get a VPN (virtual private network) — but, just like with antivirus software, don’t use a free VPN." How should an average user know if the VPN is a scam? (More than half of VPN providers are scam and there's little reason to believe that payed providers are always better.)

"Use tough passwords and change them frequently." Changing passwords frequently is considered deprecated advice. The single most important rule about passwords is to use unique passwords. Which they don't say at all...

I could go on...

I have a fairly standard sized living room, TV (55inch), standard vision.

I vastly prefer 4k content. It is much, much clearer. There is likely a 4th or 5th variable that isnt considered like the additional pixel count's impact on how the eye sees color etc.
Yes, they clearly didn't consult (and/or use) security researchers' most recent recommendations about passwords.

Password managers have become a nearly non-negotiable necessity. Telling people just use a password manager is becoming kind of like telling developers just use source control 15 years ago. You just won't know how important they are (or the true cost/benefit) until you start using one yourself.
Try using that thing against Bahasa Indonesia, the fastest language I'm aware of, and let's see how intelligent it really is.
120fps is the real news here. Most people will see no difference between 4K and 8K, but 120fps is an immediately obvious improvement. People will probably attribute the sharper image to the higher spatial resolution, but it will really be the result of reduced sample-and-hold blur. I'd take 1080p120 over 8Kp60 any day.
I think if you're going to do a replication study, you should collect a different data set about the same subject, and use the same method, then see if you get the same results.
I've never seen an 8k tv before, but the difference between 1080 and 4k is night and day to me. But I still have a 1080p tv. The amount of 4k content , let alone the amount of 1080p content(with my iptv) isn't that good.
Yet many people are currently begging the US to intervene in with Yeman, Ukraine, and the Myanmar rohingya muslim situation.

Criticism in hindsight is easy, how much worse would things have been if the US hadn't fought communism? Stalin killed 20+ million, Mao 50+ million, Pol Pot 2+ million. Without US intervention Large chunks of South America and Africa would have been competing for the communism kill high score.

Personally I don't want the US intervening because we get criticized no matter what we do and we'd save trillions
A lot of NIMBY-ism is because of money. Having an apartment complex go up in your backyard often reduces property values. It's not that people don't want other people to have a place to live, they retain want to retain their property values. It sucks selling your house for less than you paid, or worse, being upside down on your mortgage.
That begs the question, IMHO:

Saying market analysis is nothing new is similar to the argument that police examining phone records is nothing new, therefore mass collection of metadata is not a problem. The changes in technology make the analysis associated with marketing far more powerful - with orders of magnitude more targets, more data, and more analysis applied to each individual - to the point where there is a risk to society of mass privacy violations and mass manipulation.

And when this risk is applied to the political sphere, it becomes much more consequential. As the the Cambridge Analytica whistle-blower Christopher Wylie was quoted in the article, it was used by "Steve Bannon [to] build his insurgency and build the alt-right". Do we want this power, and the people who control it, to control our countries and societies? Probably people buying LL Bean jackets didn't know it would be used in an attempt to manipulate them.

I'm not dismissing the fact that big questions remain: How effective is the manipulation (the biggest question in IT, IMO), and what makes some manipulation dangerous and some just regular persuasion? But these are very serious problems that might undermine things as fundamental as liberty and democracy.

I no longer enjoy first person shooters, but I was a teenager during that era and loved the game. The lack of variety that you found boring was what made the game fascinating to me at the time. Its simplicity and repetitive nature allowed one to achieve mastery through practice. Playing it, I felt the same feeling that I had after I had played ping pong regularly for several years.

Not at all. But rather than focusing on something concrete (and falsifiable) like national interest, our leaders and officials moralize and stoke righteous indignation.
Direct Democracy in Switzerland
Yes, I suppose I've conflated two things. The first is the strident shrieking of politicians and those who echo what politicians say,for which I would argue there are two extreme sides. And neither of these sides actually has constructive discussionin my opinion.

And then, there are the different sides of scientific discussion which produce the conclusions that the politicians warp and shriek about. Some of this is good science, and a rot of itis bad science. But whatever the politicians get to blather on about is what most people are aware of, regardless of whether it's good or bad.

And your comment points to part of the problem. It's science, so if we believe that we know everything, we're wrong. If we don't know everything, then that means we need to have the lattitude to argue about things. The argument is obviously not "is the earth warming?" but "how and why is the earth warming?". If your immediate response is "well, it's obviously humans producing CO2", then you have fallen into the trap that I'm trying to explain. Yes, humans produce CO2, and CO2 is a greenhouse gas. But the story is more complicated than that, and science needs room to wonder. The problem is the political shrieking dampens the curiosity and wonder that science is about.

Probably since GDPR will decimate most targeted advertising based businesses, they need to find another way to make money.

The natural solution are paywalls but those don't work since people end up just copying the content and pasting it elsewhere. Shit, even journalists themselves rip off each others stories, paraphrasing the whole thing and then linking back to the source website. It's so prevalent that hacker news even has a rule about posting the original link to a story.
> I find this extremely strange.

I don't. AV software is virtually impossible to vet for a customer; it is the literal stone to keep tigers away (do you see any? It must therefore work). So 100 % of selling AV software is marketing, not functionality.

"Independent tests", e.g. how much slower the computer is made by AV software disfavour solid design: All else being equal an AV software where the signature engine runs directly in the kernel code intercepting FS calls will always be faster than the properly designed software were the signature engine runs at lower privileges (requiring task switching), and the FS filter driver has to delegate.

Tests where well-known malware is fed into engines and the red flag comes up are also pretty meaningless; signature scanning works, that's not the problem of the product.

The problem of the product is that the only things a customer can measure disfavour good execution of it and that signature detection is fundamentally inept in countering relevant attacks and therefore no real protection. Heuristics (or ML or whatever) doesn't really work well, either.
Artificial neural networks, etc. are an abstraction that is inspired on a biological neural ensemble. With many differences...

Neurons are families of cells that come in many shapes and most of the time get oversimplified for didactic purposes. The processes involved in neuroscience are also oversimplified most of the time.

It is often said that dendrites are the input, axons the output, and that spikes are fired when a threshold is met... but that's not always true. The biological situation is full of special cases.

Then you have the way the network is formed. The amount of neurons and layers in a deep neural networks are just hardcoded in advance. That's not the case in biology.

Then you have volume: biological neural networks have many more neurons, and many more connections between those. For example each Purkinje cell (in the cerebellum) can have over 200k dentritic connections.
Thamks for the heads up. I might have to try it out. It seems to take a few ideas from Moonlight|3D that I put in there more than a decade ago. Others seem inspired by Maya, which I also like a lot.
