More he was a wartime YC - he backed all sorts of clearly idiotic ideas, and a few of them turned out to be platinum. Would Lord Halifax, Chamberlain or Atlee (or worse May, Johnson or Corbyn) have poured the equivalent of billions into tanks that were crucial in WW1, or into Bletchley that turned out to be the golden goose, or radar? Nope, almost certainly not, they'd have all have died as unproven too, and we'd probably have lost.

Ask HN: Finding Shared Warehouse Space
How does a person go about finding shared warehouse space? I can use craigslist to find shared housing, but I don't know how to find shared, light industrial, work space.

I recently relocated to Menlo Park, CA and am looking for 800 square feet of shop space to operate a CNC machine. I've had no luck combing craigslist and even posted an out-of-place wanted ad yesterday, https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/off/d/palo-alto-space-for-cnc-wanted/6830549212.html

Is there blend of craigslist and loopnet.com? Any pointers for finding a shared, light industrial work space?

Thank you.
I tested it with N = 10000. I see the issue now though.

Edit: I do not understand your reaction to me thanking you for bringing my (and possibly other people's) attention to the other implementation. It was genuine.

Okay, my mistake then. :)

I don't get why people name-drop Ricardo as the final authority on why free trade, in practice, is definitely in everyone's best interest. Ricardo's work was very narrow and didn't have much to say about the distribution of gains from free trade even under the conditions in which his work held.

> I see this in the art scene. It's like the art-piece isn't enough for people. They want an artist's statement. A philosophy. Who made it, why did they make it, where did they make it. Tell me the 20-chapter story of your heroic struggle from ugliness to beauty...

This is also becoming more common in the film scene. The Revenant is a recent and big example of the phenomenon. People liked to talk about the grueling filming process, how all the artists involved broke their backs to make this movie, and I think it seriously altered how the movie was perceived, changing a perfectly fine movie to something somehow transcendent.

Another, smaller, example is Ryan Gosling in La La Land. Some people made it a point that he learned to play the piano for the bits on screen.

It's as if the off-screen authenticity alters the on-screen authenticity. (Whether this is true or not is up for debate, and has been since method acting's inception, if not before.)

There is a class of great accomplishments that have two features: a novel idea, and cutting edge technical execution. Finding the marriage between the best possible idea that can be executed with a constrained resources and time is what attracted me to the start up "scene" after I left academia. There must be room for good ideas, but its in the execution that makes them great.
Honest question, where do Tesla owners take their cars for repairs if there are no dealerships? I always thought the dealership laws were pretty consumer friendly in this way. I can find dealerships and independent shops to have my cars repaired pretty much anywhere in the country.

Tesla doesn't let anybody else fix their cars. So you have to take it to their... what, repair center?
Oldie but goodie.

I feel it must have been really satisfying to be able to get your instructions arranged so that you can just switch from sector (track?) to sector on the drum memory and have the head be in just the right place at the right time. Annoying if your loop is one byte too long though.

Now our hard drive controllers are more powerful than this.
Here's the core of what I do:

I pore over their website, and do web searches on the company and the company's top executives. If I don't personally know anyone who works for (or used to work for) them, then I hit up my professional contacts to see if I can find someone who does. I then ask those people about their day-to-day experience at the company. I make sure to ask, at a minimum, both what they consider great about working there and what they consider awful about it.

What I'm looking for is a good fit -- does the company operate in a way that works for me? Do I feel good about what the company produces and how they do business? Are the employees generally satisfied? That sort of thing.

One thing I would never do unless I were in a crisis of some sort is to just jump in and hope for the best. It's too easy for that to go horribly wrong.
I'm with ya on preferring rural living, but I much prefer that everyone else's "dream home" be in the city.

Now if we could only get a better political separation between urban and rural; right now, since the urban areas have higher population density, they effectively set the policy for those in rural areas, generally without caring much about the fallout.

scikit learn is a different type of search, hence it will not be supported by this tool or any DNN search tool.

DNN require an architecture search, I.e. the building block are full layers, depth of the network, optimizer etc.

scikit learn search a parameter space, I.e. the algorithm weight are much much simpler and few.

So to sum up, DNN search involve big building blocks while scikit learn search (or for that reason any "classical ML" algorithm) is more of a parameter search.

[ The actual sci kit learn search would also include pre processing steps, which can be seen as a separate block]

Also, note that that DNN search is much more expensive than scikit learn search (100X) ]

Languages are tightly inherited, even more so than genes. How languages are structured varies highly. Some have gender-like tenses for the cardinal directions, where things are not feminine but 'northy'. Some have no genders, but do have time-like tenses, where things are 'future-y' or 'present-y'. Just look at sign-language, with it's use of height similar to an exclamation point in English at times. Human communication is weird.

Even in English, our sense of gender has changed over time. It used to be that we cared more about the number of items/people over their gender, but now we care about the gender. IE: Thee/Thou/You/ became Him/Her/You.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_in_English

English is, herself, a pidgin language. The irregularity of the verbs and the reliance on context make it very accommodating to new terms and nouns, but VERY difficult to learn fluently. It is standardizing though, the Afro/Urban-American vernacular use of 'be' is a perfect example (I be going to the store, not, I am going to the store). This change of 'be' is very similar to the romance languages. English is very slowly being wrenched into standardization. It will be very interesting to see how Chinese and Computer Programming languages affect English.

The Story of English is a great look into this language and it's story:

FWIW I encountered re2c in the Ninja lexer

https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/blob/master/src/lexer.i...

and then used it for my own huge shell lexer:

The Oil Lexer: Introduction and Recap http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2017/12/15.html

The nice thing about it is that it doesn't impose any constraints on the structure of your code.

lex/flex probably have options not generate piles of messy C code with global variables at this point, but IMO there's no reason not to use re2c instead, so it's moot.
1) There is a lot more to pollution that CO2. Is your example of reducing pollution really fraking and that alone? Fraking, which specifically makes drinking water unsafe? I can't tell if you're just proving my point or not? You just wrote that Republicans are for a technology that makes drinking water unsafe and also has direct consequences for climate change being made worse?

It sounds like with #1 you are suggesting that Republicans would prefer to poison the water of local communities and refuse to look at better alternatives. And the reason seems like money, from what I read online.

(EDIT: Also, investment in technology like fraking that DO POLLUTE means a longer leadtime before real solutions are offered at the right price. This fraking is done not to reduce climate change effects - it will make things worse - but to make money for oil people.)

You are straight-up ignoring Methane leaking from fraking sites directly making short-term climate change much, much worse. Methane is pollution too, and very bad pollution for our atmosphere right now.

> 2) The best carbon-free technology that we currently have, and can deploy at scale, is nuclear power. Republicans for. Democrats against.

There is a lot more to the world than carbon. I'm in favor of Nuclear energy by the way. I thought most democrats were? Literally 100% of Democrats I know in person are in favor of Nuclear energy. So I'm not sure what you mean here. But anyway,

Nuclear power has a long-lead-time and a huge capital investment, while many renewables are lower cost to start up and produce mostly pollution-free power immediately. I'm more in favor of actual renewables but I'll take nuclear power any day.

I think most democrats would love large-scale nuclear power, to be honest, and I'm quite surprised that you think otherwise. I'll have to look into this.
Yeah, I guess it’s pretty much a “worse is better” thing. Worse products are faster to market and cheaper, so why waste time and money trying to do it “right”?
I think you severely underestimate what it means to run a public cloud business. "Probably capital intensive" betrays the naiveté of this comment.

Even if you have 100 billion dollars in the bank, you're years behind. Go buy land, build datacenters (5 year lead time), sign power contracts with utility providers, figure out where to buy all your dram and disk and networking and shit and oh develop your cloud services too. Now keep them running.

Pretty much, and the Navy wanted to run things differently to the army. Then they ran into far more resistance than expected.

Churchill gets the blame from history. Such is the way of things.
Lyft's business model is betting that automation will happen at the OEM level, and thus has a slower corporate burn rate. So less of their balance sheet goes direct towards automation efforts. Contrast this with Uber's significant losses in which the company's long term survival is contingent on the automation developed in-house to be leveraged as their own. I'm not entirely sure how Uber's technology would be integrate with OEMs where most (GM/Honda's Cruise, Ford, and others) are developing their own level-3+ autonomy, and how their sensor arrays/networks would be physically installed on cars.

I personally wanted to see the patent lawsuit Google had brought against Kalanick to completion- much of the lidar and sensor technology at stake needs to be either licensed using FRAND terms or have each company using its own disparate systems. V2V may be a desired open standard but I'm less than optimistic about its targeted implementation date being a few years away because of this competition.
Possibly, but if they don't have any of their own infra, they'd need to pay someone like AWS while they build it out, right?

> The UX is cool, but some of the UX choices are strange to me. For example, automatically dimming down when you turn the light on (you have to press the button to pause it) vs. the other way around

I own one. If the brightness is anything above the middle mark or so (which you’d want to light up a room), then the device consumes more power than the charger provides, and it dies after 2-3 hours. I believe that’s why the default behavior is to start dimming the moment it is turned on.

It bothers me a bit, but I do really like the product otherwise.

If your company is going out of business because it's not profitable, that's called capitalism. Unprofitable business needs to go under.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the same companies who find their way into a cash crunch also find themselves requiring overtime from their employees to try and fix it. Both are signs of poor planning, poor management, and not treating your employees well.

In the end it's the chicken and the egg scenario. Did your bad decisions force you to treat your employees like shit or was treating your employees like shit part of the charter to begin with and it's just now catching up to you?

Either way, requiring overtime is a red flag whose appearance instantly tells me it's time to look for a new job. Whether the company is doing well or not. I work to live, not the other way around.
FWIW I post in the hiring thread and also review this one for potential candidates. (Found one so far from this month to reach out to, but usually find zero - I think in total we have reached out three times.) We aren't hiring remote-to-start though - if those companies are perusing this thread I could imagine a much higher outreach rate.
