Lise Getoor has been doing the Lord's* work for a while now, presenting statistical relational learning work at the major machine learning conferences. She had the keynote speech at NIPS last year, supporting the use of structural bias in statistical learning:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4k5LKCpboc

Although she had to riff through a couple of very unfortunate slides quickly (identifying political affiliation of social network users is a classic task in relational learning, but the keynote came hot in the heels of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and her slides went down like a led baloon) it was a great keynote and one I was happy to see.

There's more work on combining relational, logic-based machine learning and statistical machine learning by Luc de Raedt, Kristian Kerstig and Stephen Muggleton, among many others in the Inductive Logic Programming community. There's some good pointers on this website for Lise Getoor's introductory book to the field:

I constantly write full-blown applications and engines in AWK: small, with minimal memory requirements and runs like a bandit. Truly one of the most ingenious and practical programming languages ever made, and with AWKA it can be compiled into a machine code binary executable for anywhere from 20 to 100% increase in speed.

I love this premise! I have always hated the venn diagram approach. When I started programming, I never found them useful. I agree it is the wrong model to teach what is happening with joins. It think it produces more confusion.

The author's approach is a better visual model. Using boxes makes so much more sense, since we are dealing with rows of data. The circles of a venn diagram don't represent a result set visually, and i think that's why I always found it confusing.

The the main point I think should be expressed to really explain what's happening in a join is about null values. If one table has nulls in the matching set, which ones do we want to keep, or discard? The box approach shows this beautifully, while a venn approach doesn't really make this obvious.

The best visual representation I've ever seen is similar to the author's, but animated. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16983007
See I might be wrong here, but I think the problem starts when you see yourself as a depressed person. Do you see yourself as someone who can wake up early and go to the gym? Do you see yourself as someone who could be disciplined?

Don't get me wrong, you might be a depressed person. I see depression as a water swirl that keeps dragging you down and doesn't let you look at yourself as what you could be. It's the typical comparison of "I am trying to quit smoking" and "I'm not a smoker".

You get to that point, mentally, by acting. Mentality affect behaviour, and behaviour affects mentality. If you see you can wake up, it's more easy that you'll see yourself as someone who can wake up and go to the gym.
Their next design and failure was i960 in BiiN project (below). Although BiiN failed, the i960 looks like a big improvement on the i432 balancing aspects of RISC simplicity, object architecture, and reliability mechanisms. It looks like a nice processor. Too bad it failed in the market. It did have some interesting use cases, including the F-22 fighter.

Propaganda is meant to convey or reinforce an ideology. Since, at this time in history, there was a real “hearts and minds” battle between East and West, these kinds of campaigns can safely be considered propaganda. Similar postcards made by NASA at this time would certainly be propaganda as well.

A similar example in the West today is those ads for the US Army they sometimes show before movies.
Am I missing something here? If Qualcomm charges a 5% royalty up to a maximum of $20, then phones $400 and up all pay the same $20 fee. How is that making them too expensive?

The phones we usually see people call "too expensive" cost a lot more than $400. I don't think $20 is what's making them cost too much.
We need both. Not enough domain knowledge and you end up with software that isn’t a great fit for what it’s trying to do, but without enough computer science and software engineering knowledge and we end up with all of these stupidly memory-and-cpu-hungry applications that are all the rage these days.
This comment reads like a very partisan, overstated puff piece in defence of the book.

The Scheme aspect of SICP, and other decisions made by the authors, matter a lot because, contrary to what you seem to be claiming, there are many different approaches to and flavours of programming. There isn't a single core philosophy that, once imparted to students, "clues them in" to the essence of the cultures/styles/models deployed by Forth, Haskell, APL, Prologue, C etc.

When you live in a culture that used to worship the sun and many friends and relatives have died and or been scarred by skin cancer, you lose tolerance for people pooh poohing UV exposure. Blatantly misrepresenting advice as he does (saying sun exposure is recommended) is absolutely ghastly.

I found CTM a harder book to read than SICP for some reason, so if the author finds SICP too much, then they probably won’t like CTM. I personally thought SICP and CTM were both great books.
What qualifies you to pass on such harsh judgement? What research on the topic have you done?

I'd be very interested in having the article debunked, but I can't corroborate the accusation that sources have been "totally misrepresented" and "misquoted". Granted, I've merely given it a cursory glance.
I enjoyed reading the Anabasis. The writing felt more like recollections of past events. Xenophon gives account of details by accident. For example, the greek army has marched deep in the persian empire, the battle of Cunaxa took place (and the greek encampment was raided on that occasion), then the greek leaders were killed, then they escape up north (and one realizes that was because there were no bridges over the Euphrates and the Tigris at the time), then they have to weather winter in hostile territory in mountainous eastern Anatolia. And at that point, Xenophon drops a remark about the women who were with them. I was so surprised, I had to read the phrase twice and even then I was in disbelief. What were women doing on a dangerous military campaign? Xenophon doesn't bother to explain.

It is wonderful that we have writings from a lost world, it is frustrating however that so little has survived.
I find it helpful to know if the answer is no. Betteridge's law suggests you can avoid reading the article because the headline writer is trumping up the findings.
I can also recommend GTD, it was definitely an eye opener.

A few takeaways for me:

* There is no (need for) 1 list to rule them all. I'm using Google Inbox, Calendar, Keep, Post-it notes in the house on doors & walls, and a handwritten notebook for my day job.

* Inbox helped me organize a lot better. Snooze is great for getting an empty inbox. It used to have "snooze to someday" to incubate, but unfortunately that's not an option anymore. I still have 50+ items in there that I review a few times a year. I'm sad inbox is getting killed. Gmail has most of the functionality, but the UI is waaaay to busy.

* Keep is nice for simple lists. Grocery shopping has become a lot faster and easier. I will try to order the list so I can pick up everything in one pass. The kids & wife are joining the shopping trip? We can split up, see the list update instantly, and be done in half the time.

* GTD defines 5 phases: collect, process, organize, review, do. I wasn't used to having collect as a separate phase, but a lot of sites make this easy. Inbox has reminders, and a browser extension to save any page, Reddit has a save button, Inoreader has starred items. HN even has a favorite button, but does a very good job of hiding it. Seriously, I have to click on the post/comment age to favorite it?
The fact that Javascript is prototypal language is really cool once you get your head around it. It doesn't seem like an advantage to get rid of this (which would make it no longer prototype-based) just to have another functional language.
I ran the DEF CON CTF from DEF CON 20 to DEF CON 25. Prior to that, I won a few.

I know order of the overflow is running a good game now. It’s different than what we did, but it’s a good direction, and I am hopeful it will continue to grow.

They (like we did) have a few selected prequalification events tbgat are generally pretty high quality. See https://www.oooverflow.io/dc-ctf-2019-quals/

PlaidCTF was an old favorite of ours as well. PPP has won several competitions, and seems to understand what makes a good challenge, what makes a challenge hard, and more importantly, what DOESNT make a good/interesting challenge.

Boston Key Party also runs a pretty good game. But a lot of them became Order, so who knows what will happen with them...

DARPA ran a CTF for autonomous systems called the Cyber Grand Challenge. It was neat, but I don’t know of any plans to do anything like it again. I believe they’re waiting to see what the community does to push the state of the art further. Source code for challenges and infrastructure are at https://github.com/cybergrandchallenge. There’s also a bunch of video at the darpatv YouTube channel.

We open sourced most of our challenges/frameworks after the fact. https://github.com/legitbs. This includes the compiler/emulator/manual for our 9-bit bytes custom architecture, clemency. That was probably our most ambitious year...

That’s all off the top of my head. If you care for more from a CTF has been, I’m happy to come back and answer more questions.
The Content Hacker’s Handbook
So TLDR;

- a bunch of studies have shown Vitamin D strongly correlates with health

- however more studies show supplementation of Vitamin D does not give the same outcomes

- Thus probably Vitamin D is not the cause, rather just an indicator for sun exposure, and sun exposure is what’s good for you

- lots of research showing sun exposure has many befits and avoiding it has high risks

- as for melanoma, it’s less common than you think and the risk is mostly sunburn not sun exposure in general

- this is more serious for people with darker skin whose bodies are better adapted to more sunlight and have much lower risk of skin cancer but need more sunlight to get the health benefits

Conclusion: go outside a lot and get sun, just do it gradually and don’t shock your system with sunburn. If you’re not getting sunburn then your melanoma risk is very low while the other benefits are very high.

That is interesting to read, and it also feels really common-sense to me. I definitely feel better when I’m getting good sun exposure, and I can feel it in the winter when I’m not. Most interesting to me is the studies showing Vitamin D supplementation is not effective for health benefits. That’s too bad because my D levels tend to be low and I have supplemented in the past, but not shocking because it’s never really felt different to me when supplementing.

Lately, I've been using Trello like this:

* When I have a new "project" (boards are cheap, so everything can be a "project"), I run a ruby script that calls the Trello API to: 1) copy a template trello board that has "to do", "doing", "pending" and "done" columns. 2) name it with the argument I passed it to the script. 3) this new board is created into a specific team I created for those kinds of cheap boards.

* I have a PHP page that shows all those boards : https://www.dropbox.com/s/x9oce22p6p6o74m/trello-boards-dash... which is useful, since they all have the same columns in them, it's easy to visualize.

* In the PHP page I created, everything is an html anchor to its corresponding trello URL (boards, card).

So it gives me a birds eye view, at a glance, of everything I need to do. I still have specific trello boards for certain specific things, and I still use a calendar and a todoist account to organize my weeks. But i've found this hack to help me streamline all my non-time-sensitive tasks to do.

If you want, I can give you the code for those 2 scripts. Let me know if someone is interested.
I’m pretty sure the courts and police frown on forging documents to commit theft, even if the person you were attempting to steal from eventually prevails in court.
That's not the takeaway at all.

The article basically insinuates that you shouldn't use sunscreen, that you should expose yourself to the sun for health reasons and that Vitamin D supplements are actually useless.

This was my first reaction too, but then I thought back to when I was first learning SQL and, after hours of work trying to tabulate events from users across multiple tables, discovered that I seemed to be double-counting (or more) in mysterious ways. I was using Venn diagrams to understand how joins worked and I think the "intersection" depiction of inner joins _did_ cause me to think that "duplicates would be handled," whatever that would even mean. Really it just caused me to skip over the complexity of thinking about it.

If you think of inner joins as a cross join with a filter, then we have all seen cross joins represented by Venn diagrams - and for me at least I lost several hours of work restructuring my understanding of what I was working with!
Wunderlist works really great for me. It helps me coordinate my list of todos between my laptop and phone. It has many advantageous features like setting a reminder for a task which helps me focus on other stuff without worrying about remembering my todo list.

Hoe do you review and decide what to move between places? And, how do you handle smaller todos: get milk, register domain, clean fridge, call dentist, etc

Do those go in the list, or are they handled elsewhere?

Review and menial tasks are the two things that trip up my efforts at a system.

Also, where do you keep working notes for tasks in these lists: in the list or elsewhere?

I'm very interested, it sounds like a good system.
What a waste of time and money, they already charge an extra few dollars a month for more simultaneous streams and still that is limited to a family-sized quantity so it's unlikely anyone can share with even 10 people let alone 100s or 1000s as with torrents. I think if sharing accounts was prolific most accounts would probably still need to be paid or everyone's Netflix would be constantly complaining there's too many people watching during peak hours.

The natural next-step would be automatically sending a letter to the IP addresses they feel are pirating content demanding a one-time payment of a few hundred bucks instead of litigation, then lobbying to have the ISPs decide who to send letters to.
If you click on the authors' names, you'll get enough info to roughly determine their areas of expertise. Based on a few names I clicked, it sounds as though they're focused more on brainstorming potential solutions for energy and resource shortages than evaluating the environmental impacts of those solutions. They'll probably leave the latter part to their peers who are more qualified to make such assessments.

There's no argument that environment impact needs to be evaluated--that's just not what these particular people are qualified to assess. It's unlikely that the entirety of academia will avoid discussing the potential consequences of these ideas. Those who are qualified to do so will.
This article is based on the work of Richard Weller who is trying to monetize them at Relaxsol[relaxsol.com]. I didn't find any disclosure of this in the article.

The mainstream view is in a paragraph buried deep: "“I don’t argue with their data,” says David Fisher, chair of the dermatology department at Massachusetts General Hospital. “But I do disagree with the implications.” The risks of skin cancer, he believes, far outweigh the benefits of sun exposure. “Somebody might take these conclusions to mean that the skin-cancer risk is worth it to lower all-cause mortality or to get a benefit in blood pressure,” he says. “I strongly disagree with that." It is not worth it, he says, unless all other options for lowering blood pressure are exhausted. Instead he recommends vitamin D pills and hypertension drugs as safer approaches."

Ask HN: Should sociopaths be banned from business/power?
Okay, this is gonna be an incredibly controversial question I know, but after seeing a bunch of stats saying psychopathy is apparently more common in business leaders and politicians, I've often thought:

Would it be morally right to just outright ban sociopaths (and maybe narcissists) from even getting into those fields at all?

I mean, imagine if by some miracle technology we could test for the presence of empathy in an individual's brain or what not. Would it be right to say 'you cannot ever become a CEO, start a business or run for president' if someone had no capacity to empathise with/care for others?

Would that improve society (and stop dictators) or make it worse?
Speaking of CTM, it's a little unfortunate that the modernization of Oz's implementation as Mozart is progressing very slowly.
There is at least some preliminary evidence that smoke from the cannabis/hemp flower is less toxic than commercial tobacco smoke (much of which may be due to the fact that people usually smoke far less mass of the former)-- heavy marijuana users do not seem to have the same sort of cancer risk spike as heavy cigarette smokers.
I'd argue that sunscreen on the face might not be a bad thing if there's enough exposure on the rest of the body.
From Uncharted to Obra Dinn: Lucas Pope Dishes on His Illustrious Game-Dev
As far as I'm aware, your parent's question is fundamentally in error -- the legal reason you can't take Bird's scooter is that it belongs to Bird. This is the same reason you can't take anything else; there's no conceptual difference.

Whereas with cars, there is a special legal difference which allows tow trucks to confiscate random people's cars even though the cars are neither the property of the tow truck owner nor abandoned. Cars do not enjoy any special privileges. They are the subject of a special legal burden.

To take possession of a Bird scooter, you'd first need to establish that it was abandoned property, which seems like it would be difficult to do. But maybe it's easy! Consult your local law of abandoned property.

This is the key!. I was about to say SICP was great then, yeah, I read it only when get interest in build compilers and after 20 years on the craft.

I think you need a progression on material:

1- Start with a highly practical book more alike build little experiments/programs

"Build a pacgam game" "Make a calculator", etc... ie, do a single pass for the minimal amount of info necessary to build a practical yet rewarding project.

2- Now the student have accomplished their first success, slowdown a little and put a small amount of theory here and there, but put focus on:

"Discipline and follow good practices" then re-do the projects right this time.

To build a analytic mindset move to:

3- How a computer think, using debuggers, disassembles, etc.

You get your hands dirty and see the magic behind the magic

And at the final step (is necessary to put some more steps before, just wanna get to the point):

4- Finish with a well round, deep and wide treaty about the field like SICP, so with some practique behind you can actually see what you have done and how it relate to the new info you are getting now.

Also, this will broad your horizons and open the appetite to get in the deep more.

You move to more challenge, learn techniques tools and tricks of the trade. Finally, move to see the theory behind, round your mental framework and challenge yourself in come with exotic, new dishes...
