Guavas are great. We have them a lot in India. Yes, the seeds are a bit of a problem, though not big, I guess. Used to eat them a lot as a kid with salt. Also, the ones with pink flesh are extra good, though white is more common. Litchis are another great fruit. Don't get them much in many parts of India, though. Not sure why. Maybe not popular, or maybe only grows in some parts. IIRC, had them in Bengal when visiting relatives there.

A cartel is bad, particularly as long lived as that one.

Then again, if you ever used commercial tungsten bulbs with longer life, they were quite a lot dimmer. Maybe 1k hours wasn't that bad a trade-off. Best would have been both choices in shops.
What solutions are you proposing?

Here are a few that comes to mind.

-Secrecy? but how will you continue to exist on the PR scene if you don't release anything?

-Are you willing to pay every developer who is able to replicate your paper, more than what the black market would pay?

-How are you working on incentive alignment to make sure that all people who can replicate your results have more incentive to do good than bad, specially in the current environment where users and valuable data are silo-ed by a few companies?

-Misdirection to keep an edge, i.e. planting bugs/ Not fixing bugs for public ; spreading false results; only working on problems that need high resources to limit the number of actor who will be able to replicate ?

-Tracking the people who have the competence to replicate and take preemptive measures.

-Restrictions on GPU/CPU/silicone wafer.

Who can regulate? How can we regulate? What are the negative consequence of regulation? What happens if we don't, at what odds and time horizon?

If it were produced from sustainable materials and labor, and you had to pay the rent for the landfill space it occupies until it biodegrades, and you made an average income, the cost would work out in favor of mending.

Disposable goods are a high rent that we pay almost exclusively to the mega-rich and subsidize for ourselves by externalizing much of the cost onto underrepresented labor groups, like developing markets and future generations that will inherit our landfills.

You're welcome to check out the samples [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/gpt-2/master/gpt2-s...] and evaluate them for memorization yourself (I haven't found any so far).

(The talking unicorn example on their page is also meant to demonstrate that, no, it's not just memorizing, but I think it's a bit more compelling to check from the raw samples)
What you're describing is not the norm, especially once people get beyond their 20s or so.
I'm excited to hear that they are making a new TUN infrastructure for Windows. After the website redesign, OpenVPN doesn't even ship builds of Windows-TAP anymore and it is quite a pain to build, plus you have to sign it yourself. One of my current projects will need a TUN and we've decided to make it Linux only because its just too much work to support Windows. There is a new VPN provider API only accessible to UWP apps, but there is literally zero documentation or examples beyond the auto generated .NET API docs.

A lot of people have results similar to this - but most people generating a paragraph of slightly_weird_but_plausible_if_you_read_quickly text using a primped version of BERT one time out of 25 regarded it as more or less pointless. But journalists don't.

This would be ok if this is the first time that anyone had a media go wild over AI story. But actually this has happened 10000 times this year already.
This is an interesting effect.

Re-reading your reply I noticed you misread my comment: I never said anyone should “just chill” and comply... no. I wrote that it should be “chill for anyone to just pick up this job if they feel it’s their thing”. I’m quite sure there’s a world of difference
Is there any possibility that the added complexity is a symptom of the framework in use and not a general problem with ALL frameworks? I know I've experienced many projects and found server side rendering more complex then client side when using frameworks like Ember.js.

Not so poor Pole here. We're expecting our first child. We could buying clothes & other stuff new, but my frugal wife went on-line, and in two months got us more than enough clothes for the first two years, + a stroller, for free, from local give-away groups. Couple of messages and short car trips is all it took, and in total, we're easily ~$1500 ahead because of that.

Unless a second child happens, we'll likely give away all stuff in decent conditions too. Pay-it-forward & all.

Speaking of those groups, she also managed to pick up an old Łucznik sewing machine that's older than our parents. It's repairable, indestructible, and has already created a bunch of stuff, including hand-made gifts.

If that's a hallmark of a "poor" country, then I don't want to live in a "rich" one.
But ... it's not novel. We could already generate convincing gibberish years ago.

Now the novelty is that this can be better targeted. But even simple Markov-chain based text generators were good enough to fool people for a bit.

And there was always people that had too much free time to write. A lot. (See for example the crackpots and conspiracy theorists that bombard physics forums. See the 9/11, Zeitgeists, etc. movies. See how much has been written about anti-vaxx, about quantum woo, etc.)

Reputation systems work pretty well for countering spammers.

And against APTs (advanced persistent threats, spearfishing attacks, etc) there's no real "universal" protection anyways. (You need a competent security team to out think and out resource the attackers in every possible dimension.)

This AI is the same as the paid Russian trolls and the unpaid scammers, and so on.
Like the comment you made?
Why did you decide to switch? Are you typing much more of English than Icelandic? Are the two languages similar enough that what works for one is likely to work for another? Or was there an unrelated reason?

Do you think it made your life better? Would you recommend it to others, not necessarily using Icelandic? Are you using compose combinations to enter non-English letters (there's 8 [0], a significant number)?

Thank you for speaking up, your experience is so rare I consider it invaluable.

As someone from Bulgaria, I am really glad they are doing this. At the moment it would cost me 10 EUR to make a SEPA payment from my bank to another country in the Eurozone. A few years ago when SEPA was first introduced I was able to make the same payment from the same bank with just a 2 EUR fee. Banks were not happy that people turned away from SWIFT so they simply raised the SEPA fees. I am glad that Transferwise and other fintech companies are able to offer cheaper payments but I would still prefer the banks to have a reasonable fee in the first place.

It's very similar to the EU mobile roaming situation that took years to get better but is now very convenient and I don't need to buy prepaid SIM cards whenever I visit another EU country.
Actually, they do get their fee if they show they initiated the relationship. Goes both ways: if the company is already working with the candidate, then recruiter doesn't get their fee.

So, not a legit reason not to share their client's name.
Isn't this similar to the post on Automating OSINT - http://www.automatingosint.com/blog/2017/07/osint-website-co...?

Think the above has been mentioned on BellingCat too.
Having developed with nodejs since v0.4, went through jquery => backbone => angular (1) => ember => vue => react, written stuff in several incarnations of javascript (including coffee and typescript), used build tooling from grunt to webpack and customized browserify, even built stuff with meteor... i can‘t bear it any longer.

Actually now we are full circle again. Files that mix css/template/logic with FOTM syntax, add some database calls during SSR and you have basically PHP. Just more complicated tooling. Deploy your frontend on S3 and its similar to FTP to Apache Servers, except you can‘t update just individual files. Run your backend on AWS lambda and you have stateless backends like ... PHP, but with cloud vendor lock-in. State Management like „Flux“ that poorly resembles state machines on top of JS shortcomings.

I am personally switching completely to elixir/phoenix to do anything web-related and can solve things cleanly within minutes. Also when Phoenix LiveView finally arrives, it could be groundbreaking and replace many usecases of modern SPAs.
I am just a developer and I really like your advice.

In my experience, though, I see managers and therefore companies struggling exactly because they do the opposite. They are unable to delegate, to trust and to think "he or she doesn't have the right experience to do it". Sometimes this stems from pride and arrogance - you are unable to admit that someone else can do what you are doing and you should maybe focus on something else. It can go as bad as a power play: if I grow people, eventually they want more and more.

Other times it comes simply from ignorance: I have always done it this way, and I am not sure how to move forward, because nobody in the team is ready to lead.

I thought it was just me! Is this the reason why WireGuard decided not to use those APIs after all?

> "white" is relative, isn't it. It's why we have white-point controls on our cameras/software.

There is a region of chromaticities than can be accommodated as untinted white (think the center of an RGB triangle). And the Sun is around the center of it. So yes it's relative ("the Sun is a G2-class yellow star"... relative to noticeably-blueish-but-we'll-use-it-as-our-white-point-anyway-because-reasons Vega). But perceptually untinted leaves you with kind of narrow bounds. You notice 4500 K lighting as warm, even if you still see paper under it as white.

> a black-body [...] A cop-out answer

:) That's why the 5-year old was added to the question long ago. They don't completely stop answers of "5800 K!", but permit easily moving on with a "Um, 5-year old?"

> I would tell the 5-year old the sun is yellow

But... the Sun as big ball isn't, and the Sun seen in sky generally isn't. So social convention over reality? Unless... the 5-year is from Vega?
I can't speak to Tridactyl but some time back I looked at extending one of the other plugins, can't remember if it was Vimperator or Pentadactyl, but when I looked at adding my own custom scripts for extension it failed the 10 minute rule so I moved on. Perhaps the ecosystem and/or documentation has been enhanced with Tridactyl.

But you're right, there's really no difference between typing Meta-x and colon; It's the same concept.

Better yet, take the %age that goes to the recruiter and give it to the candidate. Seems like a better way to close new hires.
In other fields such as infosec, responsible disclosure is a standard approach. You don't just throw a zero-day out there because you can. Whilst the norms for AI research needn't be identical, they should at least be informed by the history in related fields.

The lead policy analyst at OpenAI has already tried to engage the community in discussing the malicious use of AI, on many occasions, including this extremely well-researched piece with input from many experts: https://maliciousaireport.com/ . But until OpenAI actually published examples, the conversation didn't really start.

In the end, there's no right answer - both releasing the model, and not releasing the model, have downsides. But we need a respectful and informed discussion about AI research norms. I've written more detailed thoughts here: https://www.fast.ai/2019/02/15/openai-gp2/

I don’t want to sound glib, but if you find yourself asking if you’re in development hell then the answer is probably yes.

Other than that meta-remark, you can take a look at how the cost and delay estimates evolve after a deadline is missed. Projects slip, but usually each missed deadline gives more visibility into the actual delivery date. If the updated budgets/plannings don’t converge, then this means the underlying project hypothèses are false (e.g. the technical complexity was completely underestimated, or the marketing target is moving faster than the project).
You could also run server-rendering with a service worker. There's nothing about a service worker that means it only works with SPAs. It basically just gives you control over caching behaviour...
No one is saying "I demand everyone do it." There are two points:

- If they are going to publish the research, and want to claim it as research (which they will, either by submitting it to a conference or putting on arxiv for the citations), then they should publish the supporting material, because without the supporting material it is impossible for reviewers or other researchers to evaluate. This is not just the model--they are also not publishing the training code or the dataset.

In short, they want to have it both ways, by having their work accepted as scientific research, yet providing absolutely no way of determining if the results are reproducible. That is a horrible, horrible standard. (other companies are guilty of this as well, btw). I mean, think about how absurd it is that they are saying "our scientific results are too good to publish. Trust us." Why is this acceptable? because it sure as hell wouldn't be acceptable if was a random person releasing a paper claiming incredible accomplishments, yet they provided absolutely no evidence.

- The other criticism is that the justification for why they aren't publishing (which is that they are too concerned with the moral and ethical implications of their work) is, well, a load of crap. They aren't doing anything to contribute to the ethical or moral use of these tools by doing this and they aren't slowing research into the area one bit. If they really wanted to have an impact here they should have just not said anything (but of course, then the authors couldn't put this on their resume...).

Whether they are releasing the model is not the issue, own its own, and I don't think anyone is throwing a fit because someone doesn't release their model. It's the _why_ and the implications that bother people.
Yes it’s neat, but also involves giving privacy.com unfettered pull access to an account. Not to mention the data pipeline for profiling your use. Not a bad trade if it suits you, but things to be aware of, certainly.
> "False dichotomy" being a general concept means I don't have to be in any sort of position of knowing any specifics. It's generally applicable.

Specifics do matter when they're critical to the conclusion being made. In this case my daughter it too young to do needlework and my son isn't interested in it either (as I've said before, we have tried). So ultimately I would end up -- and previously have ended up -- doing it by myself despite any best efforts to incorporate the kids.

I do get at some point he'll have to learn that not all chores are fun but he's only 5 and there are a lot of chores he does love doing (including stuff "normal" people hate) so I'm willing to let him stick to the ones he finds enjoyable while he's still young enough to get away with it. After all, he has a whole lifetime of work ahead of him.

> I have no idea why you're defensive about this.

Wouldn't you get a little defensive if I started telling you how I think you should raise your family when I've never met you? I see it time and time again where HN posters pretend to be experts on the weirdest of subjects and this is no exception. I swear this place was never like that when I first joined...

In any case, comments about ones family are a deeply personal topic so you should expect one might take those comments personally. ;)

"PR firms" already have an army of fake/paid accounts on every important platform.

This new AI could help them with that. They can let go of the paid writers and hire an IT guy/gal to operate the bots - and the VPNs. (Or they can just pay a lot less to the paid trolls just for their home ADSL/Cable/4G connection.)

But so far this AI is not going to pass a Turing test. Sure, maybe it can be integrated with a chatbot. And it'll be interesting how internet communities will react.
Without quantifying anything it's kind of meaningless. The point is that recruiting is a business process and that we should treat like any other type of process, by being systematic.

The information we need is how many interested people responded with a generic message vs. how many responded to the personalized message, and the amount of time spent on each approach. Note that 'responded' here is defined as 'I'd like to pursue this opportunity' or 'I'd like to learn more' which then leads to them pursing the opportunity. Not social niceties like 'I'm not looking but it's wonderful that you took the time to read my Medium posts, you're so different from the other recruiters', etc.
I’m sorry but it’s not like the rest of the world simply voted or chosen that state of affairs.
But if you don't share context you can always blame it on the fact that there was a misunderstanding or that you had so much to do, that you couldn't blablabla.

And who is gonna challenge a manager and say that it's his job to prevent misunderstandings by sharing information?

The blame game is a great asset when you need to hide incompetence and you are afraid of judgement.
Maybe they buried the humans with the dogs. That would be creepy.
The article is really poorly researched. They mentioned that Etsy decided “not to cancel the transactions”. What does that even mean? You can’t cancel a transaction where the money has already been taken out or the account and magically expect it to return. Etsy has to push the money back into the account via a refund.

And money refunded is never considered income, so the second part of the article is completely unfounded speculation. Unless Etsy issued 1099s it doesn’t matter how much money they push into the account, it doesn’t mean it will be considered income.
You talk about the “success rate” of YC companies? What is success in this context?
Seems to be elf vs mach-o - clang on linux is more or less the same size, actually larger than gcc. Probably also some linking stuff on macosx vs. linux.
You mean ludicrous?

`node_modules` directory topping 60+ mb means nothing when the final product is an optimized bundle or a `node` process loaded in memory. A large majority of developers don't care about this because they're just looking to get actual work done... not sure why you're trying to "fix this".

I'm also not sure what you're talking about when it comes to unclean code and complicated tooling. The tooling is dead simple... much simpler than the NuGet/IIS/OWIN nightmare that is C# development.

I think you're very close minded and you'll likely be stuck in .NET land forever. And that's okay if that's what you like or if it's what gets you a paycheck. But to completely dismiss this ecosystem as if it's not productive... it's just a sign of naiveté. Good luck.

There's Snakes where I live (Australia). You just kind of normalize them - don't really give them much thought.

Growing up I was always told "Snakes are more afraid of you then you are of them" and "Snakes are only hostile if you provoke them."

You hear stories from time to time about people's dogs being attacked by snakes but never really a concern. I've had lizards wander into my house (occasionally on the larger side - a few years ago I heard rustling in my kitchen found a Lizard that was about 20cm - picked it up with a beach towel and released it outside) but thankfully never any snakes.

Poisonous spiders are more of a concern for me then snakes, especially Redback's. I've found these in my house multiple times.

>How much should I tell my team about what's going on above me?

I think everything you reasonable can. It will allow your developers to decide how to spend their time most effectively. Ex. You tell a developer to build out a certain demo screen. Even given the same specs there is a huge difference between "this screen will be shown to the other companies CEO and could be the cornerstone of a multi-million dollar deal" and "yeah we promised to deliver this screen in the deml, but now we dont think it's important. We're pretty much only building it because we promised.".

Not to mention there is going to be lots of new information that your subordinate will learn over the course of solving a problem. And if he knows everything you know he'll know what information is new and which you already knew.

But if he doesn't know what you know or assume it can lead to all types of messes. "I thought you knew this was going to be a 3 week change, and would break backwards compatibility"
> So if I want to eat nice meat cuts ground up, without getting slime, what do I do?

(1) buy a meat grinder, or

That's true even without the slime issue, because “ground beef” isn't coming from “nice cuts” with Abby particular consistency.
