" He announced that he had studied the US constitution in detail, and—no doubt, forensically examining its propositions one at a time and perhaps testing it against thought experiments against wild possible futures in which the president was allowed to get out of control—he had discovered how the US could legally be turned into a dictatorship."
"Bad Santa" is absolutely, unironically, my favorite Christmas movie of all time. And while Billy Bob Thorton's character does have a measure of redemption at the end, it overall is a dark comedy that is clearly the opposite of what you describe.

What I mean reality here is the running nn model in browser is possible, but not practically efficient, so even with its perceived simplicity, people would under most occasions, run the inference in the cloud, with its controllability and performance, like using customized hardware. After all, running inference is about to run it reliably and fast, until the day when nn operations are ubiquitous and common enough to be standardized and shipped in performant runtime that come out-of-box, browser inference is still a dream that is too good to be true.
Not in my experience. It definitely costs some credit rating, but (a) if you aren't applying for a loan, credit score isn't valuable to you to begin with, and (b) it bounces back within a handful of months. My credit score bounces around within a 30 point range centered at ~765 or ~785 depending on which bureau you ask.

I would suggest not doing this for a few months before applying for a mortgage or car loan. Also, only works if you pay your bills on time (auto-pay) and don't carry a balance (22% hurts) (i.e., have your personal financial house in order first).
It is awkward to fire people and should be. The point of doing it in person is to let the employee know that they’re a human being who is worth the effort of spending 10 min in-person to talk about the lay-off.

Believe it or not, some people care whether they were thought of as a person or just a “human resource” on a spreadsheet.
Yea, I wrote windows code for 10 years and while it has its warts I will say the ETW subsystem is much more thought out. The ntdll way of abstracting syscalls is also a lot nicer and something Linux should consider.

The biggest problem with Linux is it doesn't have a coherent design philosophy. So some subsystems are nice and others are horrendous. Knowledge of one subsystem may lead to misleading assumptions about another part of the kernel.

An example is the kernel supposedly doesn't have threads, they are just processes that share address space. But of course other parts do in fact need to understand that there is one coherent bundle of threads that compose this abstract idea of a process. So some places differentiate between thread id and process ids and others mix them. Windows has its inconsistencies, but not with something so fundamental as a process.
Not even close to -150 in my experience, hah.

Kudos to Netflix. I pay Netflix money every month so I can watch a wide selection of movies and tv episodes. Apart from the script writing itself, I don’t want any games played with my attention or my kids attention. This is the big thing that sets Netflix apart for me from other internet companies: I know that they are selling me a service and not selling my attention to others. As long as they keep doing that and have a good selection of movies and shows they will have my business.

Is Die Hard 2 also a Christmas movie?
The parent is mistaken. A "false" answer definitely means that no (further) solution exists. You can ask for time or depth limits in practical Prologs, but in basic standard Prolog "false" doesn not mean "could not prove it in time".

Of course some things cannot be disproven, and in those cases (again, if you don't request otherwise) you will get nontermination.
Nuclear power is dead because nuclear weapons and because we don't teach most kids basic physics. (I was taught the basics of nuclear physics in high school, but that was an elective, not a required course.) As a species we are programmed to fear the unknown.

>We describe the methods of constructing and studying Lenia, including its mathematical definition, in silico simulation [...]

It's funny how different fields of science have all invented their own names for "computer program." Physicists and many engineers call them "codes," and biologists love fitting in the buzzword "in silico."
Previous gen iPad Pro + Smart Keyboard cover + Google Cloud has pretty much freed me from carrying my MacBook Pro when I have to travel.

Other answers already covered email, slack, jira, etc. iPad is great for anything that’s more text or equal parts reading/writing.

Where GC comes in, is when I need bigquery or to actually work with code, I can do a lot via the browser and for the full power just need to SSH into a box in the same project. Cloud shell can be used in a similar manner with Vim and tmux. I just need more than 5GB of disk usually.

I’m actually evaluating ChromeOS as a possible replacement because of the Linux app support and better support for the GSuite, so this article is an interesting read.
Not the only one. Infact they mention it on the site somewhere.
Wow.

>The biggest benefit of social media over forums or email lists is ML-based ranking.

That's what Jaron Lanier calls 'behavior modification networks' and control of that stuff is intensely valuable to whoever wants to behavior modify, valuable in myriad VERY practical ways. Machine learning? My ass. The machines can learn all they want; application is going to be controlled by management, when it's that profitable.

>The platforms are addictive not because they're designed to be

Not designed to be, my ass. Next you'll tell me mobile games aren't designed to be addictive? This is a science by now, and we're seeing the results. Like hell they aren't designed to be. You could say (from a certain viewpoint) that it's a breach of fiduciary duty if they are NOT designed to be addictive.

>Algorithms do the curation for you

Control of that is more valuable than any previous form of advertising or marketing. The social media revolution as you describe it has meant you can define people's experiential bubbles, orthogonally to what their wishes might be. You can expose 'em to whatever you need them to believe in. They don't even experience what you want to exclude. All for a price.

This ain't the Singularity. Algorithms give big data to the people who really make decisions on who gets to influence, and you know neither the influencers nor the decision makers. Something like youtube 'Elsa videos' for kids are not an AI deciding kids need more creepy in their lives, there are people trying to manipulate the system and other people who see it happening and go 'heh' and probably make notes and study what happens. The algorithms are just not sophisticated enough to be directive in the way you allude to.

It's not going away, which is WHY to attend to the negative side. If you're cynical, you don't have to see it as 'scare' so much as yet another banality of evil. Which we don't casually accept, even though it has been with us since the days of cavemen.
In Australia. I've never seen anyone scaffold their roof to retrofit solar.

Meanwhile, four people died as a result of a nationwide campaign to install roof insulation and that became a massive political controversy.

I don't doubt people die installing solar, but it's interesting that we never seem to hear about it.
I find it very obnoxious how the Netflix app for Apple TV autoplays previews of titles when you’re browsing and doesn’t let you disable that behaviour. As a result I rarely open Netflix except when I already know what I want to watch.
Either that or “IT” is someone who doesn’t feel qualified enough to be assertive in their position. If I was this “IT” person, I would explain to the individual that there was a critical vulnerability found which will not be patched and then print up a liability waver form for them to sign and date, stating that they are doing this on their own terms and I cannot be held responsible should anything go wrong.
> Well... for now it's only a classic, usable, stable fs ... nothing is there only a stable fs that seems no different than ext...

It's a CoW filesystem, which should provide some inherent crash/power-fail safety that ext does not have (at least, as usually configured — and data logging has huge overhead).
LOL

Your claim is that because solar is only 1%, it can never be 100%?

There was a time nuclear was less than 1% of our generating capacity. Why didn't this logic apply then? Or, for that matter, why doesn't it apply to any other technology that passes through 1% market share on its way up from 0%?

You are simply ridiculous.
Sure, HAMMER(2) is licensed for portability elsewhere. The trick would be adapting Dragonfly's VFS interface (and locking!) to your target platform. It has diverged from FreeBSD in ways that make that non-trivial, and Linux's system is even more different.

The "hard" evidence was that their neighbors saw them some month ago operating a drone in their backyard. So they called police. Who notified the press.

As suspected eco terrorist you would hardly operate from your backyard near the airport. But the brits do have surveillance cameras all over so they will find something sooner or later.

The advantage of concentrated thermal solar is that it can provide pure base-load 24-7 with its thermal capacity. The disadvantages are the expense, glare, and on a smaller note that they ironically need fuel to start up and get the salt molten again - when it must be down for maintenance. Not technically zero carbon because of that - at least until it becomes viable to generate sufficient heat electrically with a grid.
The Chinese succeeded at something that doesn't do anything to address the devastating, fundamental argument Lidsky gave back in the 1980s.

Lidksy's argument is as valid today as it was then.
Honestly, due to the licensing it's not exactly a first-class citizen on FreeBSD either. It's a copyleft license that doesn't pollute other source files, but it's still copyleft for ZFS itself. That is contra to the BSD license.
Crane Currency uses Blender in the design of the micro-optical animations of their Motion and Surface security threads that are integrated into banknotes around the world. Check out a US $100 bill for an example of the results. In my previous role there, leveraging Blender's flexibility for integrating functionality via the Python API into various parts of the UI was great.

I wish there was an open source CAD/CAE application that would copy a few of Blender's workflow ideas (integrated REPL, 3d view, node editor, text editor, high level language API).

All Blender is missing is 64-bit vertex storage and 2D data plotting and it would also be the perfect dashboard bridge between the physical engineering/design and data science worlds in addition to its primary audience of 3D content creation, but it's hackable enough to work around those few limitations.

Well, the thesis of the article is that both nurture and nature contributed to the success of the Hungarian Jewish scientists. The author says Hungary had an excellent education system and Jews were no longer persecuted there, allowing their children to pursue a scientific education.

For the "nurture" part of the argument, Feynman and Oppenheimer certainly count as American.
Lots of folks/companies are going to lose long-term as a result of bad A/B testing driven decision making. I suspect the decline of the Facebook feed might be attributed to this as well (maybe even the recent polls of Trump's twitter practices[1]). Generally these sorts of things don't really consider long term fatigue and other important factors, and take short term micro-benchmark wins as success. On the flip side, some attribute not A/B testing to the failure of the SnapChat redesign[2].

Is there anyway to do this properly? I can imagine the problem will get worse and worse as we reduce human evaluation of A/B test results and automatically make real-time decisions through software and ML.

Nuclear disasters are almost exclusively the result of astonishing human incompetence which is almost unheard of in any comparable industry. Airlines have shown that it is possible to manage big risks.

(Before you say Fukushima, remember the carnage and death was caused by an insanely catastrophic tsunami. Despite massive incompetence and disastrous consequences, it has resulted in a grand total of 1 death so far, with perhaps a few dozen over the lifetime of all people in the area. Not nothing, but it shows just how safe this stuff is when you extricate paranoia from the equation.)
> deduplication is a bit resource intensive

That's true everywhere, outside specialized hardware offload.
all too common. this happens for the simple reason that such devices are created by people that have never deployed anything to the field, and never worked under anyone who has. that and of course the pressure to get something to market quickly.
There's an extra difficulty with something like video software.

Consider what the expected outcome would be for "isolate from second 1 to second 10". Then the expected outcome for "isolate from frame 1 to frame 10".

What happens with a video at 1fps?
Let's not trade. If you feel so strongly that Hacker News should be prevented from being able to discuss an article, then it's on you to articulate why.

Any good Blender MOOCs or courses with a relatively recent version?
Encouraging is easy - put in jail everyone who knew about failures in the process, from the lowest ranking engineer to the top-management, if they were aware. It will put hundreds of people behind the bars at first, but the rest will be more than happy to follow the safety rules instead.
There is a third option - safe stockpiling of the old panels until they become economical to harvest. They are pretty inert - just a concrete floor and a roof overhead could prevent it.
>This is the big thing that sets Netflix apart for me from other internet companies

Oh please. By some miracle every Netflix-produced thing has a >90%-match with my preferences, yet somehow when I type in movies that I want to watch I find Netflix had them in their catalogue but never bothered to suggest them to me.

They want you to see self-produced stuff and then a show and not a movie (so you stay on longer) and not to find the best matches for your taste.

Also, giving them Kudos for not doing something that should have been a no-starter in the first place sets a pretty low bar for giving someone Kudos.
> So I simply assigned W:X:Y:Z:A:B:C:D to each container -- because, why not? Yes it's wasteful, but it's easy to figure out which is which!

It makes me curious. Did you apply any service-discovery mechanism in your IPv6-based container cluster? I wonder if IPv6 makes orchestration easier, tougher, or actually things just work transparently.
For fun, this is sort of a parody of ipv4 exhaustion counters:

https://samsclass.info/ipv6/exhaustion.htm

I have two /29 of ipv6 and at current consumption rates they should last until the end of human civilization.

For reference of size, a /32 of ipv6 is what any ISP can get from Arin or ripe just for asking.
Somewhat related and also Rust - I’ve recently put together a crate for frp-like computation (in terms of streams and all that, but the use case is somewhat close to adapton, although simpler), for my own use but then figured I’d share it because why not - https://github.com/aldanor/reactive-rs
I think vim is user friendly but beginner unfriendly. For whatever task I want to do with text, vim will provide the easiest way to achieve it. However, to anyone that is not experienced with it, it will be the hardest way to achieve it.

To put another way, it probably takes a couple minutes to learn and be proficient in windows notepad, and a couple months to learn and be proficient in vim. However, for a task that may take a couple months in notepad, it might take a couple of minutes in vim.

I take beginner-friendly to be a more specific form of user-friendlyness. The usefulness of the concept is that it's common to see a UX and say it's not user-friendly, because it's not beginner-friendly. However, not all users are beginners. To someone that is proficient in both vim and notepad, vim is more user-friendly than notepad, because it is more friendly to him, the user, since it allows the completion of any task far easier.

"days when you were anonymous, getting to know strangers through common interests and exchanging ideas. I do miss those early days"

That's what HN is to me right now. Yeah it's not truly anonymous but almost everyone here's a stranger to me and I have some wonderful discourse with like-minded perceptive folks any time I visit.

Actually, Gödel's theory is fairly accessible compared to, say, the General Theory of Relativity.

All you have to know that the process of proving a statement is a fairly mechanical, step-by-step process. At that point, "statements that can be proven true" and "statements that be proven false" are two fairly defined sets. At that point, "there are some true statements that cannot be proven true" is moderately clear.

Then you introduce the idea of a model and make the concept fully exact.

The thing to remember is Gödel himself never really liked this simple view and wanted truth to be more transcendent. He shared with Einstein the quality of not liking the results of his discoveries, perhaps a source of their friendship.
Jews and pedophilia, name a more classic match.
If I could only pick one it would probably be my desktop chair:

-It has helped me feel better about working all day long sitting on a chair which is something I don't think humans should do.

-I use it on a dialy basis

That's even worse advice than what I was responding to. Great way to anger a high-ranking executive and probably get fired.

Frankly a lot of the advice in this thread seems to be coming from people who are very junior or otherwise don't have experience dealing with high-ranking executives. Heck, even mid-ranking executives would respond very poorly to the kinds of actions advised in this thread.

Here's the situation: a high-ranking person in the company is so powerful that she can disobey IT policy by refusing to update her computer. This person is also powerful enough to demand that changes be made to a corporate website to make it compatible with her older computer. This is a problem for the head of IT, and the head of IT either lost that battle or decided it was not worth fighting.

This is not the right place for a more junior IT person or developer to stick their nose in by going directly to that executive with some bogus "liability waiver" or appeals to wasted money or whatever else. It won't go well, and it's wrong to do it in the first place because it bypasses layers of management and the historical and political context that led to this outcome. If the head of IT couldn't solve this problem, a stunt like what you are suggesting won't solve it either.
What are you talking about? The timescale of nuclear power is comparable to most other forms of electricity generation. We have reliable, long term statistics which show it to be insanely safe compared to all other forms of generation, and that's despite the fact that all these reactors are shithouse designs from the stone ages. We know how to build reactors that are orders of magnitude more safe, which is remarkable since nuclear is already the safest form of electricity.

As for using risk as an excuse to avoid it—nuclear power is orders of magnitude safer than air travel, but you don't see anyone deciding that we should continue to travel by boat.
