If vision was actually made up of conceptually 'tagged' zones, then it would stand to reason that the hierarchical structure would only be developed within our 'focus', so that makes sense.

However, if i had a picture of a pirate, even a cursory glance would tell me if he had trousers on, even in the absence of hairy legs, censored, smudged, missing, i would notice it instantly and know it was missing before being asked.. but not if the image was in my mind, which means mental images don't act like actual images.

The big problem with nuclear is that it's only economical to run the reactors at full blast 24/7. However demand goes up through the day and down over night.

You need to pair it with some sort of grid energy storage. That's not quite a solved problem.

Personally I'm a fan of offshore compressed air...

Perhaps this has been studied before, but this might be relevant in advertising as well. The book "Pre-suasion" by Robert Cialdini describes how for example, showing certain imagery before asking a person to make a choice produces specified effects - for example, showing flags before posing a question usually elicits a response that tends to be more aligned with Republican viewpoints.

That’s the law...but in practice the farmers (like athletes trying to pass drugs tests) cheat. So here is an article about the FDA catching antibiotics in both meat and dairy products, and the farmers were successful before they were caught because they began using antibiotics and other drugs the FDA tests don’t scan for because they aren’t supposed to be used in animals at all.

> when the debt level becomes unsustainable

I'm arguing that you can't determine what the unsustainable level of debt is for the world in total.

Yes, debt can be unsustainable for a family, or a company, or a nation.

But if I, as a creditor, decide to risk my capital by lending to my neighbor, or to the United States, that increases total world debt, but it's not necessarily bad or dangerous.

In the case of Greece's debt crisis, the important question is why creditors lent too much to a nation that couldn't pay it back.

There are many answers from ignorance to failed governance to corruption, but none of the answers have anything to do with the general level of debt in the world as a whole.
Salisbury University | Assistant Professor of Computer Science | ONSITE Salisbury Maryland

Salisbury University is a "Regional Comprehensive" university on the eastern shore of Maryland, serving almost 9000 students with a focus on teaching but with tremendous support of student and faculty research pursuits. It is a growing university in it's "space" of education, a little bit out of the way, geographically, but a great place to live if you want out of the big city but still like a diverse and active community.

Our CS program is growing, with huge support from the state and administration, and we're looking for basically all walks of computer science phd's. Check out our department (http://salisbury.edu/mathcosc/) and give us a look!

Disclosure: I'm a member of this hiring committee and a second-year tenure-track faculty. However, I cannot express enough what a pleasant surprise it has been to work here! I came from a strong R1 university, so was unsure of what I'd get, but when I visited to interview, the department and campus culture blew me away with how friendly and supportive they are of each other (especially compared to my high-pressure grad school experience).

Writing Self Hosted Alexa Skills with Golang
I think that kurzweil basically makes 2 critical mistakes:

1) he underestimated the degree to which all those fancy products of modern capitalism are created not by machines making machines but by the nimble fingers of vast numbers of very poorly paid people- as it must be, because the maintenance on the machines to do the same work would be more expensive than just paying humans to do it. But from kurzweil’s point of view as a wealthy westerner, that fact is invisible, as it’s designed to be- the products simply appear to come out of a black box which we are not supposed to look inside of.

2) Technological progress has undergone a sort of phase transition in the last 100 years or so, with the discovery for the first- and only- time of fundamental facts about nature like electricity, thermodynamics, how human biology works, and so forth- discoveries that can only be made once. An s-curve looks like an exponential, for a while.
SpokenLayer | Software Engineers | Full Time | New York City | ONSITE | US $120k-$150k | https://angel.co/spokenlayer/jobs

SpokenLayer is hiring full-time software engineers in New York City (front-end, full-stack, back-end, dev-ops).

At SpokenLayer, we turn content from online & news publishers into streaming audio on Alexa / Google Home / iTunes using real human voices. We've acheived product market fit and are ready to build processes & products that help our team & business scale.

Our stack is primarily Node & Python, Angular, PostgreSQL, with a lot of AWS infrastructure managed with Terraform. We automate repetetive processes, build tools to shorten customer onboarding time, and help our partners reach bigger audiences.

We're looking for creative engineers who know what they are doing, who want to solve tough problems & build new experiences, and who can prove it.

It's a neat gig. We smile a lot because we actually like what we do. We pay market & have great benefits. We have real clients. We act like adults. We build products that people rely on & pay for. We review our code. We improve and learn from our mistakes.
Yeah I've been giving talks about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpWqz85F_4Y

The biggest problem I see people having is they don't realise that defining a consistent annotation scheme takes a lot of work. If you don't define your problem well, you won't be able to collect consistent annotations, and your model will always perform poorly. You need an annotation scheme that "carves reality at the joints". There will always be boundary cases, but some ways of dividing things up are just bad.

For instance, if you want to collect opinions about bands you like on social media, you don't want to have an NER category "BANDS_I_LIKE". That's just dumb: detect bands to handle ambiguities, run the classifier over lots of text, get a frequency list, and then mark the ones you like.

Another example. Let's say you were looking for suspicious activity in some dataset like the Panama papers. You might have a bunch of indicators for suspicious activity, like companies that change name a lot, or the same director on companies from very different industries. A lot of people have gotten the message that they should make their models as direct and end-to-end as possible, so they might try to label emails as "INDICATES_SUSPICIOUS_ACTIVITY". This label is unlikely to be the easiest way to do things. For one thing, it's bad to have one category that applies to a bunch of disjunct sets. If you've got a single label for "A or B", you won't have a linear decision boundary. Linearly separable problems are much easier to learn. Another problem here is that the decision you're trying to make rests on tonnes of world knowledge. The business goals would be much better met by learning some simple text annotations like NER, a few simple text categories etc, and using a rule-based approach to stitch things together.

Basically, don't just work on having more powerful solutions. Make sure you've tried hard to have easier problems as well --- that part tends to be higher leverage.
I tihnk you are on some end of a bell curve but far from the only one at their scale, I’m sure. Is it possibly device-based, i.e. you use older devices that download moderately quickly and choke on the install portion? I had an SE until last year and noted that sometimes it would take a bit to initialize the update after I hit the button, too.
I took a quick look through the first set of exercises and a lot of the problems are open-ended and don't have specific answers. Seeing a different answer than yours doesn't tell you much about whether your answer is correct.

Even if you do have a similar proof to the one in the answer key, that doesn't mean your proof is correct. Correctness can often hinge on very subtle distinctions. You really need a TA or instructor to read your proof if you want meaningful feedback.

Your code always talks directly to the cpu. Your program 'just' runs in a env where it is not allowed to do a few things the kernel is allowed to.

Probing the cpu for timings of memory access you don't have access to, or forcing it to something somewhere where you do have access to, you don't need the kernel for that. Thats the problem.

Motivity Systems is hiring a full stack developer in Seattle (onsite) to help on our mission to make autism behavior therapy more efficient, effective and able to reach more patients in need.

We are currently preparing our flagship product for release in February that will allow therapists to specify therapeutic programs within our system, which in turn generate interfaces for recording performance on tasks (games, response to certain prompts, etc.) and real-time visualization of patient progress tailored to the various roles involved in patient care.

We use F# on the back end and front end, so some functional programming experience might help, but certainly isn't required -- honestly we're really just looking for bright developers who are enthusiastic about learning and being a part of a growing, early-stage (but thankfully well-funded!) startup.

See https://about.motivity.net/careers.html for more info!
This looks cool. Couple of bits of feedback on your website: the “Request for Books” link appears to be broken on the landing page you linked here. The hamburger menu in the upper right doesn’t do anything for me in iOS Safari. I have an adblocker though so maybe that’s interfering?
What happened to the Native Americans was genocide, but I wouldn't call them either a faction or a group. To me, either "faction" or "group" means "a set of persons in your society". You don't use "faction" for those outside your society.

And, to me, the Native Americans were not part of US society. US society was a European society carved out of land that had previously belonged to Native Americans.

In the same way, when the US fought the Germans in World War II, you wouldn't say that the Germans were a faction. They were a foreign entity.

You might also note that the US negotiated treaties with the Native Americans. You do treaties with foreign entities, not with factions within your own society.
I would be fascinated to know the IQ scores of all the US presidents, but I assume no such dataset exists.

Being the president would seem to be a good example of a form of success in which IQ would not be that important relative to other personality attributes, like understanding what people want and how to (re)phrase it well, persistence, bravery, being able to spot strategic mistakes of opponents etc. It's not clear any of these attributes would be classically considered "intelligence" in the IQ sense, but they're all clearly valuable for politicians to have.
It sounds pretty good. Can I get some more info?
I've done hundreds of interviews of various types. Do you know how many have provided me feedback? 1 (see below). All others either sent me a form email or ghosted me. Perhaps if I went through a recruiter, I would give the recruiter my feedback as a professional courtesy there, but I'm not opening a dialog to some HR department.

And that unpleasant experience is also a very good sign to prospective employees to "DONT WORK HERE". If that's how they treat people they're courting, I want to know that up front, rather than see it a month later after relocating. So no, I don't want them to fix it (in reality; delay it).

I want interviews to be the same way as a Unix process: fail quickly and fail loudly. And this interview certainly did that.

(Glowforge, I didn't have the experience in the areas they were asking. And I'm happy they told me. And they were up front with me within 2 days, at that!)
I've also taken his class and can attest to his subject matter expertise and excellent teaching style

I will look it up later but i thought hyperthreading increases it.

Perhaps i'm mixing something up but i thought that intel removed smt from the newer generations (is removing it) because of it.
Thank you.

My problem is: exactly what I know is not sufficient ;-)
I know JS. The backend layer for me is unchartered territory, DBs I've shunned most of my career. So some learning curve can't be evaded.

And from looking at the view-layer competitors to angular (vue and react) I'm not sure why not to give those frameworks a try, as Ionic seems to be less 'native' and more 'webView' oriented.
To add to you point, more-and-more PHP is growing support for types with every major release. Starting with 5.0, then 5.1, 5.4, 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2 – each of the aforementioned releases added support for greater typing hinting in function definitions and support for specifying types.

While yes, this could go to a distopic place, it also creates opportunity for disabled people. Let's say you get a job as a robot waiter where before you couldn't get that job. You then start to learn the restaurant industry and start helping out with process or management. And then you are qualified to become a restaurant manager, owner, franchisee, etc. For any restaurant.
