But note I think you mean the $12 price but that’s only available from the 28th Feb. To buy today it is $11,500 (unless as others have pointed out you got it as part of the trademark sunrise period)
Exactly. Social media will be your least concern, if at all
My conspiracy theory on this: This entire fiasco is actually an experiment to gauge public reaction to this kind of release strategy. Eventually the point will come where the choice of releasing a model may have real ethical considerations, so they are test driving the possibilities with a relatively harmless model.

Given the, in my opinion, huge overreaction to all of this, I fear this may only encourage AI research groups to be more secretive with their work.
Agree. Maybe it is more helpful to think of numbers as adjectives than nouns. Oneness plus twoness equals threeness. The part of speech is sort of irrelevant but it obviates a debate over whether or not instantiation of the unattached idea of a number is important, while still allowing math to occur.

I'm sure the California vintners association was able to gin up some propaganda stunt where they came out on top on a stacked deck. I think their hooch mostly tastes like berries cut with paint thinner, and for equivalent price I was always able to get a much better wine from just about anywhere else even when I was shopping in California. Could be the vintners are all barbarians, or just their property taxes make decent wine at a decent price to be non-possible.

Literally the only people I have ever met who think SF or California in general have food worth barking about are people who live there and don't get out much. For America even a small place like Portland Maine is vastly more interesting, better quality ingredients and better in general.
Yeah, that's what we call "passive aggressive childishness". Or perhaps I need to really spell it out to you. Under this definition, if I am born poor and someone gives me, free and for gratis, with no obligation or return on my part, a big pile of money, I am self-made.

Like that nice man who let George Clooney sleep on his couch for a while, and Clooney came back twenty years later and gave him a million dollars. Self-made. Or those people who win the lottery. Self-made. Or those people who inherit a fortune from a relative who didn't give them spit while they were alive. Self-made. Or a lady born in 1950 in South Korea, in a village without electricity, whose grandson now maintains her in an eye-wateringly expensive flat in Seoul because he rode the rise of South Korea to riches. She's self-made too.
If you define the natural numbers this way you'll run into Russell's paradox. For practical purposes that's fine and this is an elegant, modern restatement of Frege.

But if you need to avoid Russell's paradox the sets defining each natural n can't contain n as an element. The easiest such construction was outlined elsewhere in this thread by xamael. Under your category theoretic construction, every natural number n is defined as the category of sets having cardinality n. But then every nth category will necessarily contain infinitely many sets with cardinality n that also contain n. That causes the paradox.

Unfortunately I don't think you can construct the naturals in a category theoretic way while avoiding Russell's paradox since any category by cardinality will fall into that trap. But if you don't need to mind that problem, this is neat.

Doesn't becoming a Apache foundation project require that you have developers? Or do they have money to pay people to work on abandon project?
Not sure. The hypermarket I grew up going to had 80 (eighty) checkout lanes and sold everything you'd find at a Walmart Supercenter, but with way more selection.

As for the food sections in a typical grocery store in the US (Kroger, Publix, Albertsons, Safeway), it is laughably tiny and the quality is depressing.
Most forms of plausible deniability rely on enough people casually adopting them so that the presence of the software is expected rather than abnormal. This extension is not there yet.

Which means yes, if your intent is to commit a crime, then it's a poor idea to install this extension. But if you're an innocent person who simply wants to protest/undermine the idea of surveilled searches, then it makes sense to increase adoption.

Even better would be to get say Mozilla to include it in the default install. Although I'd personally be happy if they just worked on addressing the security issues highlighted by Panopticlick.
When I work from home, I get far more done in less time, yet so many employers are stuck on discouraging working from home. In fact, I'm probably more productive working 20 hours focused at home then 40 in the office.

I changed my work setup to be contact based (by project, not by hour), and I now get more done in 20 hours than I did with 40 hours, and I feel that's because I can:

- take breaks without getting flak for it from management
- interact with clients/partners when I choose to (email, IM, etc, all of which can be muted/ignored)
- work longer when I feel I'm doing well, work less when I'm distracted

However, every office has different expectations, so maybe mine was just particularly bad. IDK.
I suppose the idea of selling only to those who can pay is in Wind River DNA.

I worked for a company that WR bought in 2000. We had a product where it was possible for a small shop to get a license for 1000 USD or so. Wind River canceled that and the cheapest license became at least 15K. The claim was that the money came from big customers and it was “wasteful” to deal with smaller guys. Yet it was the small guys that provided effective advertisement for the product to bring attention of bigger customers.

> It seems far more likely that objects like 'Oumuamua are relatively rare, and that means it likely came from someplace close by (if it came from farther away, the odds are even lower we'd ever see one).

Ok, it's on my list of things to do this year to actually learn how statistics work, but my naive reaction to this supposition, which I read is "the fact that we have encountered Oumuamua means that it's likely it didn't come from far away, because if it did, it's less likely we would have encountered it," is: We did encounter it. Just this one, ever. How can we draw any statistical information from that? Either we encountered it, or didn't, how does that have any bearing on the statistical probability of seeing it?
Good Way to Learn Assembly Language
I am sure I am beating a dead horse but I see so many recommendations but sometimes it is hard to sift through them and get good info. I would like to learn assembly language and want to know where a good site or tutorial would be to start learning. I would like to learn assembly for linux and eventually windows as I want to start doing some programming with pi, etc... I started to learn C# and stopped at global variables, etc... but I think it would make me better to understand the under the hood mechanics of everything. I have not done any work in linux per se so I am not sure what assembly comes with it and eventually I would like to learn x86 and x64 and would eventually like to be able to reverse engineer products for my own education. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it seems there aren't many resources that I can find.

One can find statements criticising Israeli policy that do not need a disclaimer or any other sort of qualification to determine that they are not anti-Semitic (and in many cases highly unlikely to be motivated by anti-Semitism) by typing 'Israel', 'Israeli' or 'Netanyahu' into Twitter's search box. Of course, it's also not difficult to find statements that are probably or unambiguously anti-Semitic using the same search terms...

For all Twitter's shortcoming as a means for making nuanced arguments and the sensitivities of commenting on things Israelis and Palestinians have done without being accused of rationalising the excesses of the other side, it's not exactly difficult to convey dismay over a particular attack, disgust with an Israeli policy, support for Palestinian statehood or opposition to a statement made by an Israeli in 140 characters without blood libels, gloating about Israeli kids going missing or rants about a concept of 'Zionism' that owe more to the 'Protocols' than reality. Indeed enforced brevity would tend to lead one towards not including that sort of extraneous anti-Semitic sentiment.

Sure, Twitter is an utterly terrible medium for making carefully reasoned arguments about how to reconcile conflicts and redress grievances, but on the other hand it's a fantastic medium to rant and have the "I was misinterpreted" defence if anyone ever suggests your abusiveness towards the other side of the debate goes too far. Academics are certainly not immune to enjoying a rant about their enemies.
Not necessarily. Going 5mph on a busy street is surely much more dangerous than going 5mph over the speed limit (remember, most other drivers are also probably going at least 5mph over).

Maybe add an agreement that if the community calls for a changing of the guard at some point that pending a review the maintainer will step down if the review process agrees.
Digital computation has been able to rise to this level of complexity because we can precisely predict/repeat outcomes because of exact numbers and boolean logic. I could not fathom anything like what we have using analog. I was reading the article, waiting for some type of plan for how to tackle analog computing, but it never came. A thought provoking article, but I'm not holding my breath for analog.
>I'm sort of amazed at the cost of high-end cameras, especially when what separates it from a modern smartphone...

It's not about the software, it's about the build quality (once you get into the professional product lines anyway). I have an old Canon 7D that's damn near indestructible (think old Nokia-phone style). I'd dropped that thing in lakes, had it out shooting during monsoons and snowstorms, rolled it down mountains, buried it in sand, dropped it from serious heights (shattering more than a few lenses along the way) and it just keeps ticking. The body is pretty banged up and I've had to clean/replace a few internal parts from the wear-and-tear but it just keeps on ticking.
All you know about this professional is that he was willing to talk to the NYT about how hard it is to be a black mathematician. That made you uncomfortable, and so you've constructed a whole mathematics code of conduct to forbid it that exists only in your head, which you further projected from to slander them about their competence.

My online store has an API endpoint to get order details, but they don't have a way to list orders. So to get sales numbers for last week, I had to write a script that uses IMAP to log into my email account, checks the folder with order confirmation messages, parses the order numbers from the email subjects, then makes an API call for each order number to get order details. Then I get foreign exchange rates for every day of last week from a different API, put it all in a PostgreSQL database, and then I have a view that estimates weekly revenue...

Numbers don't exist.

Only for the sense of "exist" which is roughly equivalent to "can poke a hypothetical indestructible stick at it, given enough energy."

the C language doesn't exist. The C standard(s) exist, many C compilers exist, lots and lots of C code exist, etc., but the language itself doesn't exist anywhere, any more than does the number two.

For the purpose of tax law, software is defined as a "tangible good." However, in other areas of the law, it's considered intangible.

When a credentialed professional tells the NYT that that hasn't been their experience, you take offense, and from your offense construct a claim that they must not be professional or even competent.
No one can say for certain what Oumuamua actually is-- other than it is "a surprise".

What it really is, IMHO, is a call to action for better instrumentation so that the next time one of these things pays us "a visit", we're in a position to find out more about it.
Why is it a silly insistence? What about it is not fit for general programming? Please be specific.

Not that I get my science from SyFy but this particular hypothesis of a ice/dust composite doesn't survive the 'thermal / tidal' test.

Seasonal work at $10-$14/hour is not sufficient to support a person still living in the US during the off-season. The employer is relying on that worker's ability to find work in other seasons, or to decamp to a less costly locale. Even full-time, year-round work at $14/hour is a poverty-level wage by census thresholds for a household size of 5 or more.

A lot of Americans have become pinched by increasing living costs and stagnant wages. They haven't become lazy; they just haven't become more stupid. Working a job has actual costs and opportunity costs. Does the nearest bus route have stops near your farm? Do workers have to cover their own insurance costs? Are they eligible for benefits that would be cut if they have earned income? Could they earn more in another job with better working conditions?

The expectation Americans have is, like people in other countries, that if they work all day on a job that can't be easily done by a robot, they should earn enough to be able to support themselves without further supplementation via welfare programs or charity. When housing costs and healthcare costs go up, that means the opportunity cost of living near enough to a farm to work on it, and assuming the risks of working on a farm, makes the wage minus the implicit costs of working there less than the profit of working for a lower absolute wage at a business in town.

These people calling workers lazy have no idea how much it costs people just to come to work for them. If they did, they would be clamoring for socialized medicine and public housing, instead of fighting it.
Meteorites form in distinctive nickel-iron crystal patterns (Widmanstatten). I wonder if they would form ‘snowflake’ patterns in conditions of large negative temperature and pressure gradient following a supernova shockwave.

Analog computers still crop up in all sorts of places these days but have become very niche and are typically a small part of an otherwise larger system. It's rare to see a general purpose analog computer outside of a very small number of research labs and FPAAs exist but are expensive novelties. As digital processors continue to get better and we develop better ways to work with them, there just isn't the need for the cost and effort required to make analog computers.

Some common places where you might see one is in audio driver amplifiers where it is common to implement a bit of trans-linear logic at the output stage to reduce distortion. Same in some high quality power supplies.

Sometimes very high performance sensor systems will have an analog pre-processor to perform some calculation on the incoming signal before handing it off to the digitizers and DSP. Think multi-microphone arrays.
The thing that I don't like about this sort of construction is that it also implies all sorts of nonsense. For example, I can ask the question "Is 2 a member of 4", which is clearly nonsensical, but will get the answer "yes" from this model.

Type theory and category theory give us a much better way of constructing these sorts of objects without having to resort to creating constructions with all sorts of side effects. Not to mention that this is one possible construction of the natural numbers in set theory; in other formulations the theorem "is 2 a member of 4" would not be true, making things even more confusing. For example, we have the other standard approach of 0 = {}, 1 = {{}, 0}, n={{}, n-1}. The untyped lambda calculus and things like Church numerals have the same defect.

If we can start assigning types, then we can reason about these things in a much more concrete manner without these nasty side effects of theorems that only make sense because of definitional shortcuts. We can even derive isometries between different derivations of the same objects to show that two different definitions (like the Peano numerals and binary numbers) of a "natural number" can be used exactly interchangeably, because theorems like "is 2 a member of 4" are simply not expressible given the derivation.

>but rather because a small subset of users abused the flag button...

But try to understand, it only takes a "small subset" of millions of HN users to get a post past /newest to the front page in the first place. We can't start complaining that it only takes a "small subset" of millions of HN users to remove it.

It might even be the case that the fact that it only takes a small subset of users to move a post to the front page is precisely the reason that the people behind HN implemented a flagging mechanism. So that, for instance, a small subset of people can't force dozens of their articles about the superiority of Emacs onto everyone else for days at a time. Worse, it encourages someone like me to post articles on the superiority of vi. (That's different though, because I'm only correcting the misinformation.)
There's a first time for everything, no?
All of mathematics is built on sand in the sense that there necessarily are going to be undefined terms. There’s no way around this. Think about the English language. Grab a dictionary. Look up any word in it. Look at the definition of that word. Pick a word in that definition. Repeat and eventually you’ll end up with a defintition that contains one of the words you previously looked up. So English is built on sand too and yet we are able to still communicate.
”This means we eventually end up either with an empty sequence (the set is empty) or with a sequence with only + operations in it”

For valid starting points, that is true, but it doesn’t follow from the text. The loop has an error exit (”If the sequence starts with − then something has gone wrong”), and the text doesn’t show that you won’t get there for valid inputs, and showing that isn’t trivial.

For example, if the sequence is ++---+, the first iteration removes the second and third item, leaving +--+, and the second iteration removes the first and second item, yielding -+.

The ‘program’ crashes there because the input is invalid, but proving that it never will crash for valid inputs without resorting to “that’s how integers behave” isn’t trivial.
One thing i'm still surprised about, there is still no site that allows you to easily compare pricing between all cloud providers (azure, aws, gcp, do)... seems like someone should of built one by now.
