I think a 16 yr old playing Call Of Duty doesn't then go out and shoot people. I think it's possible the same 16 yr old watching porn or even a sexy music video likely goes out and tries to get laid (fine) influenced by said porn/video but which can easily lead to real world consequences (std or pregnancy).

In otherwords it's possible violent media has little consequence, sexy media has consequences.

This is a response as to why some cultures are okay with violent media and not okay with sexy media.
As a former smoker myself, I would agree with all of this. I used to get bronchitis about 3 times per year, but haven't had it one time since I switched. Exercise is significantly easier too.
It's not a good or acceptable thing for kids to get hooked on vaporizers at a young age, but I never would have quit cigarettes if it weren't for vaporizers.
I love lenses and other optics like prisms and folds, but only in a statically typed language like Haskell. It seems to me that it would be very hard to get things right in a dynamically typed language:

* First, it's possible that different elements of an array or different properties of an object has different shapes. I can't imagine how lenses can deal with that in an idiomatic way.

* Second, it's just difficult to get things right without a compiler's help. Forget a `traverse`? Now you are operating nonsense on the wrong level of your nested data structure. Trying to modify an inner structure but you only have a Fold instead of a Traversal? You won't know it won't work without running it to get some cryptic error.

* Furthermore, without types, we obscure the fact that setters and getters are unified: if `a` stands for the part and `s` for the whole, we just have

(a -> f a) -> (s -> f s)

that is, given a way to transform some inner part, we can transform the whole as well. Getters and setters are just supplying a concrete choice of f, namely the const functor and the identity functor. If we pick f to be the identity functor, then with some unwrapping we have

(a -> a) -> (s -> s)

so if there is a function that can modify the part, we have a function that can modify the whole by keeping the rest the same and modify that part. If we pick f to be the const functor, then with some unwrapping we have

(a -> r) -> (s -> r)

so if there is a function that can extract the value from the part, we can extract the value from the whole as well. Without types, this rather elegant unification of getter and setter seems to be lost.
The laughably impotent response to climate change is another issue altogether.

Al Gore was telling us that burning fossil fuels was going to destroy the world. The only appropriate response, if that were true, would be immediate "wholesale lifestyle deflation".
Sad to watch such a great system lose focus...
I think this is too harsh. Organising a grand 50th birthday is a lot of effort, and forgetting that one friend (who may not be a close friend but still a friend) doesn't have Facebook is easy enough.
Yes. Quite a few friendships faded away with it. Quite a few others strengthened.

I'm good with that.
All of this could easily be reversed to mandate reading all three volumes of Marx's Das Capital.

Absolutely. And, in fact, I would absolutely advocate reading Das Kapital. I actually have all three volumes on my shelf waiting to be read. But it's easier for me to submit a personal recommendation for Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal given that I've actually read it.
Huh, I wonder if this means the subway map is going to look like a figure-8 soon.
It actually falls over around 1000 clients if they're actually playing and encountering one another at any regularity. I have been contributing to a new RunUO based shard (http://www.uooutlands.com) that has become extremely popular and hit 2k clients online. The lag was pretty extreme at first, but after a few weeks of studying CPU profiles I rewrote a lot of the map search algorithms, plus a few other things, and it's scaling easily now. I plan to push the rewrites upstream soon. The emulator still has legs!
the problem with EMR is that it fosters copy-paste. you read the same misinformation over and over. If copy-paste is disabled, content will degenerate to fiction.

in our data driven medical system, human narrative has lost value, just as the physical examination is the equivalent of judging a book by its cover. Today we rely on invasive and computationally intensive tests to tell us what's going on. Ultimately i see AI as offering a 'tree of choices' at each step in the diagnostic and therapeutic decision tree where we doctors only need to click on the most right (least wrong?) choice as we pare the tree to the situation at hand.

Drug recommender systems are the crude first step i see being implemented. but these are choices made in isolation without integrating the numerous other data points available for a particular patient.

currently, the health care industry is the largest employer in many towns. the social disruption by further 'unemploying' these people will convert gainfully employed individuals into the depressed patients of the institutions they used to serve. so some wisdom is needed here to temper the zeal of our blind pursuit of the electronic medical record.
As I understand it - W. B. Yeats beat Bertrand by a few years with "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."

I'm sure this lament is as old as time - someone probably has Yeats beat by a few millennia.
Wouldn't it be possible to rip the mesh of the existing object directly out of the game client's memory? And then import it again as a new (copyable) object.

For me, the criterion is whether I can download it, without any DRM. So I can access whenever I like. Without fear of inactivation. And without having usage tracked.
Quality of information is a very important metric. Books have editors, proofreaders, fact-checkers. Online stuff not so much. As the value of a bit goes down so does the value of a collection of those bits.
There are better ways to address tragedy than merely feeling sad.

Religious tradition and ritual is full of psychologically useful things. In the LDS tradition, priesthood blessings are getting many men together in solidarity with the victim, stating the problem out loud, and asking the spirit of God what the right thing to do is. In Catholic tradition, family and friends get together set aside time, and do their prayer beads and chants. It's a vehicle to bring people close together in times of tragedy, and let the victim know that their loved ones are there for them and on their side.
Pinboard also lost its Safari extension with no replacement in sight. The official Chrome extension also stopped working, but there are 3rd party Chrome extensions that work.

Maciej seems to be more interested in discussing politics on Twitter rather than fixing his service, therefore I plan to leave his service once I find a good alternative.
It is rather disappointing that he thinks that the Twitter poll measures anything useful at all.

Ignoring the overwhelming political entanglement and resulting bias (which is obviously a huge issue for the poll's integrity), there is no reason to believe the respondents have a well-informed understanding of the dynamics of when and why women report sexual assault.
FYI there has actually been several attempts to also rewrite the client from scratch. One is still active. See https://github.com/andreakarasho/classicuo. Pretty cool stuff.
Are you talking about Hanson? It’s quite obvious, because he describes aspects of the broader context, that he is aware of it.

In particular, his investigation of the responses to A Star is Born, seems to be helpful and informative towards the humanistic perspective.
Can you unpack that - what aspect of the broader context do you think the author is not considering?

I signed up a month ago to the annual plan for easy mobile bookmarking via Pindroid. So far so good, but I haven't upgraded to the archiving service yet.

If I was to take a total guess I would say the archiving service might be getting abused for mass data scraping, and the archive servers are buckling under load. Scraping can use a fair amount of server resources.

This is an odd coincidence, I just received an email today from one of my users (I run a Pinboard "competitor", https://historio.us) that mentioned the same problems, namely emails having gone without response and an inability to get their data out.

I'm afraid I can't answer your first question, but I can answer your second one. historious has been around since 2009 and, while I don't give it amazing amounts of love, it works well enough that I use it myself. I am currently trying to modernize it a bit, but I don't have an ETA or roadmap on that. However, I think it's worth giving it a shot.
He thinks it's useful as a marketing strategy for his own work.
Yeah, it has equivalents for each.

Sed:

perl -pe 's/foo/bar/' file1

Grep:

perl -pe '/foo/' file1

uniq:

perl -ne 'print unless $seen{$_}++' file1

But then you can combine conditions:

perl -ne 's/foo/bar/ if /baz/ && /yot/; print "Line number $. changed to $_"' file1

And do some awk-ish line splitting:

perl -F, -ane '$sum += $F[2]; END{ print "The sum of column 3 is $sum" }' file1

It absolutely flies in the face of the unix philosophy and is much more complicated than picking up each tool individually, but once you get to grips with 'em they're very handy.

The Linear Algebra OCW is great if you do all the exercise and read the book as you study. For Calculus it's not so great, though the ODE course is fine.

>If we want to have honest, good faith discussions on the topic of social equality, the only solution is for people to earnestly and honestly inform themselves of the life experiences of the social groups for whom equality has remained out of reach.

While I agree with every word you wrote, I don't know how you can maintain hope in this. Just weeks ago, there was an HN thread, where between the article and comments there were dozens of stories of women suffering harassment. And yet still, multiple people here commented to the effect, "No real women in my life tell me about this stuff, the rest must be hysterical." I'm paraphrasing, but it's not an unfair characterization.

I see it in the same light as folks that have a completely 100% incorrect understanding of "[institutional] privilege" and are already at a weird level of anger by time they enter any conversation about it. They seem to be unable or unwilling to entertain, let alone accept, evidence contrary to their closely held beliefs (and there's evidence to back it up).

Meanwhile, the groups that get frustrated at continual, constant marginalization from those with their heads in the clouds, or try to advocate for causes and less ignorance, are given three-letter acronym labels which are used to deride and derail.

And within 5 minutes this reply is swinging +/-4 votes with no replies. How absolutely utterly depressing.
Indeed, the clever thing would be to have an API flexible enough to allow a user to utilize their own ML architecture and training process but it still keep that user from accessing the raw data.

The ideal approach would somehow allow this anonymized access to multiple large databases simultaneously. I don't know how you'd do that but if you claim Etherium would help, you'd arrive at buzzword nirvana even if you were wrong.

Nothing yet, but I still have a couple of days left. The goal here at Fogbeam Labs all year has been to launch our "Fogcutter" SaaS platform in 2018, and it's down to a few final things that need to be done to launch and finally be able to actually call it "shipped".

I think crypto is dead, and not coming back. I also think ML will continue to be a big thing, and a lot of startups will center around that. I don't think VR will make it big until the next generation of consoles. I don't think people really care about AR at all. The IoT space will continue to grow, and take over more and more things. I think autonomous delivery systems will be combined with food delivery services.

Wish: Really hoping flying drone delivery, but don't foresee that for a while. If Amazon can figure out a good way for a robot to pick out food, then you could literally order the food on your phone, it can be picked out from a warehouse/grocery, picked up by a flying drone, and delivered directly to your house or wherever you currently are. I really want this service.
>how American history shook out along racial lines.

Your comment is contradictory. On the one hand you say that crime, who is undesirable, and culture ate incidental and have nothing to do with race and then in this sentence you acknowledge that American history was largely determined by race, although you use very passive language as though that "shaking out" was some benign, incidental process instead of the cruel and brutal system it was.

This is a fascinating and very persuasive view of how the mind works. And while the article focuses on a causal flow from the unconscious to the conscious, it also mentions actions that the conscious mind can do to influence the unconscious, like the example of putting a picture of loved ones on one's desk to motivate work.

I would like to add something else that the conscious mind can do. Unconscious cognitions often show up in consciousness as vague feelings, like when you feel uncomfortable around someone but can't say quite why. In this case it often works to sit and just attend to the feeling, ask it a question like "what is making me feel this way?" and wait for an answer.

And then when some words appear in your mind as answer, check them back against the feeling to see if it affirms it. This last step is like when you have forgotten someone's name and have only a feel of it, and then when you remember the feeling changes to one of affirmation, and that's how you know you remembered it correctly.

This process will make it possible to find out what is motivating you, and so you can think about it consciously, like figuring out a better way to reach a goal. Beyond that, it often leads to an automatic process of changes such as emotions reducing and irrational beliefs correcting themselves.

In fact, we all know this sort of process from talking with people about problems. A large part of what is going on here is that in the process of talking we put vague feelings into more precise words, and this leads to intelligent thinking and automatic changes in feeling. Other forms of symbolization such painting or composing music can have a similar effect.

A good book on this process of attending to unclear feelings is Focusing by the University of Chicago psychologist and philosopher Eugene Gendlin.
That's true. Better is to compare https://html-notepad.com application. It's size is even smaller as it does not include V8.

I mean that Visual Code has way more scripts to support different languages but these are text, highly compressible, files. In any case they are not loaded all at once but RAM consumption is still 6 times more than it could be for that type of application.
"the way people take political lessons from it is scary. I used to believe that politics of book should not matter because people are clear in difference between reality and fiction, but this book convinced me otherwise."

The genre is one of speculating about the future of the human condition. Playing with political theory is an interesting part of it and provokes interesting conversations in threads like this one. That's the best part of good science fiction or political writing.

It isn't just about future technology.

I have never understood the attraction of something like nicotine which is for all practical purposes only useful for getting addicted to. If you are a teen and get hooked hard you have just voluntarily made yourself the bitch of whoever can provide you with nicotine. You will be paying them for the rest of your life.

Why not pledge to contribute to a charity for the rest of your life instead? Do heroin and have a pleasant/uncomplicated/short life. What is so special about nicotine that people happily give themselves to it as opposed to all the other things one could get pointlessly addicted to?
Interesting. I'm working a bit with energy storage modeling on the transmission side and am familiar with the other topics you mentioned although everything is 10x harder with distribution as the load flows are unbalanced as I understand it. Transmission systems are gargantuan, but at least you can assume steady-state in most cases.

Sounds like some evidence of at least one drone. But regardless this is still likely a culmination of panic over a potentially one-off sighting.

Yup. I believe that social justice movements go way too far in stifling discussion of important topics, and making people walk on eggshells when expressing their viewpoint.

At the same time though, it's ridiculous to expect people to be robots devoid of emotion and expect them to dispassionately participate discussion of a topic that deeply affects them, especially when they may have very real trauma related to said issue.

My past paper describes an entity linking method based on Wikipedia2Vec: https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.01343

You learned from subject matter experts, and they indulged no nonsense.

Now we have far left activists posing as fake "experts" who engage in ideologically driven science denial, and administrators who aid and abet them, while trying their best to intimidate actual experts.

My BS tuition was about $500/year. Then the US was -helping- students. Then came Reagan. Now we prey on students, encumbering them with debts they many never pay off.

A lot of this is now perpetrated by administrators in higher education who are overwhelmingly on the far left of the political spectrum. Which staff are capturing more and more of the money that goes to salaries? It's not the professors.
Not really. Each peer is running a client and server and the only difference is the role of each node in a given transaction.
I don't think that is receive only, there is an active radar. The iron drone system seems catered to detect mortar/missile/UAV rather than consumer drones so it's certainly overkill and could be done for less.

Drones and UAV can cost more than $10k in hardware alone. I'm not familiar enough with the sensors and the technology on the detection side but wouldn't assume that anything comes cheap.

There are no product selling in the $10k price range. You will need to go through procurement with numerous sales meeting and demonstrations to make a sale, which automatically push the price to $100k and above.

It's low volume, meaning few units to recoup the development costs. Let's keep in mind that it takes a lot more than a guy in a year to develop a product.
> The official story makes no sense at all. Why announce that you have arrested a couple of people if you have no hard evidence against them?

For lots of reasons. To make it seem like they are making progress, to make it seem like it is safe to travelers, to assuage their bosses, pick one.
Yeah... Peer to peer networking is distinct from client to server networking. If there are no nodes that have roles dedicated to serve content at the request of s client,its serverless.
