The main reason I don't like urban travel is it takes so long to get to know a place. Having been abroad to study and work on a few occasions, that experience of actually becoming part of the city is so powerful that just visiting one seems unfulfilling. Also, urban environments are pretty stressful at the best of times IMO, and spending a week in a city just means I never get comfortable.

Now, nature travel... I loved touring the western USA. The country is just designed for road trips. What little interaction you do need to have with the local culture is made tremendously easy by how standardized the service sector seems to be. Too bad flying is so damaging to the environment, I'd love to go again.

This. I am regularly working on co-authored papers both in Google Docs and Overleaf, and they both have pros and cons.

Google Docs have a nice change-tracking and commenting system and next to no learning curve. The downsides are the formatting, which is rather unpredictable for complex-ish documents (figures are always a mess), and citations.

Overleaf helps get formatting and bibliography out of the way, but everybody must know at least some LaTeX, and you have to come up with your own comment-and-response system to keep track of what's going on. There is something baked in, but it is not satisfactory. On the other hand, it is very easy to just comment out stuff that is no longer needed in the main text but may still be useful or just serves as easy-to-see revision history.

Ask HN: What are some good datasources for nutrition information?
I am developing a nutrition instant answer for Jive Search and am looking for data sources for queries like "calories in a big mac", "how much protein is in milk?", etc. I am aware of USDA's API but finding relevant products in their API is somewhat challenging. For instance, finding "butter" returns a lot of irrelevant results:

https://api.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/?format=json&q=butter&sort=r&max=25&offset=0&api_key=DEMO_KEY

I could apply the food group filter to help with relevancy and filter by "Dairy and Egg Products" but without knowing the food group beforehand makes it difficult and a manual process.

There is the Nutritionix API but that is pretty expensive for the number of calls we will be making (and this is bootstrapped). There is also Open Food Facts, but they seem to be missing basic items such as calories.

I still feel that silencing someone is unhelpful. Why not let their claim stand? if outrageous - let it be handily refuted with logic and data and them made to look foolish. This is far more effective then silencing someone who then becomes a martyr. I also find it interesting that people on the far opposing side, those who come in with raw pay gap numbers whilst shouting "discrimination", they seem to always get a pass? Pay inequality has been well known since WW1, but all except a tiny portion of actual discrimination has been repeatedly dis-proven since the 1980s. Still huge numbers of people still parade the societal discrimination mantra proudly. People and parties run elections on it. Classes in prominent universities are taught preaching it (based on a few personal accounts, court cases and raw un-ajusted statistics). It is almost a religions justice objective for many to fix the unprovable wrongs of a system. Those are the people I often see shouting down the logical thinkers and data analysts.
That's true but it's almost inherent in what a dictionary is, i.e. to catalogue the canonical semantic meaning of words, not to provide a complete model of language and its contextual variables.

There's no error. The image is simply ambiguous.

Depending on orientation our first interpretation is also either a duck or a rabbit, because our vision is obviously biased to interpret things in the orientation they are most likely to occur based on our priors that have evolved in the presence of "up" and "down" directions. The AI correctly takes the orientation into account because it also matters in its priors, having been fed training data that captures those human priors.

Now, most computer vision algorithms do strive for some degree of rotation (and translation etc) invariance, because a classifier that gets confused when you rotate the input by 15 degrees or whatever isn't very useful in the real world. But complete rotation invariance would just be a case of Artificial Stupidity in an application that attempts to classify like a human would. Input orientation is meaningful information.
>The sharing economy was always fron day 1 about rentals. That's the central premise.

If I may, the central premise is about being middle-man in a (renting) transaction, shaving off a fee from it for the service of establishing a contact between the two parties and - optionally - provide ancillary services (again at a cost for either party involved in the transaction).
But the question is why...

1) The monetary expansion rate of the US is between 7-9% per year. Historically production has been increasing faster than that, stocks aren't included in the index, and so measured inflation is lower.

1a) Because the money supply is continuously expanding, rents are also continuously increasing, and so over time owning a house is indeed an investment, and one that saves you substantial amounts of money. Calculations that its better to put that money into stocks or similar, typically ignore what happens to rent.

2..3) The US stock indexes have done that, if you measure from low to high. However, companies that fail are removed from the indexes, so this statistic is survivor biased.

4) stock picking is a winning game if you understand finance, and have the time and inclination to read company annual reports until your eyes bleed.

And yes stock indexes are the best bet for share investing, but putting everything into them is ill advised. Bear in mind that the time you are most likely to need that money, is just after one of the periodic great crashes of the stock market has thrown the economy into complete disequilibrium. Which is when it won't be there for you.
Come now, the reality of the Khashoggi situation is that he was not a journalist at all but an an agent of Qatar and a client of the former head of Saudi intelligence, who sometimes phoned in opinion columns to the Washington Post dictated by his foreign paymasters.

So that you do not misunderstand, I'm not saying that any of this excuses Khashoggi's murder. I'm saying that it's disingenuous to suggest that those who ordered his killing were motivated be some sort of generalized antipathy to journalism.

I don't find it super interesting. The orientation distinction is clearly in the training data, and making the algorithm completely rotation invariant would likely a) be more difficult and b) result in worse classification compared to us humans who very much use orientation as a cue having been evolved in an environment with distinct "up" and "down" directions.
I think a good comparison is to look at global warming studies. They too have a lot of unexplained data which are unaccounted for which could be due to natural phenomenon, but their conclusion is that global warming is man made and those unexplained parts are just unaccounted variables.

A scientific method to address the mix of unexplained data is to use prediction models on the assumption that the theory is correct and see if it works to explain the data. In the case of global warming we know that the prediction model does not work and the measured data is significant outside of what a natural phenomenon would look like. scientists has thus mostly discarded the theory of natural phenomenon and instead looked to combine the multiple studies and find man made explanations for unexplained data.

The same thing was done with gender pay. If we assume gender discrimination is causing the gender pay gap then a more gender equal nation should predictable have a lower gender pay gap. What we get instead is the opposite, the so called gender-equality paradox, where the more gender equal a nation is the higher the gender pay gap becomes. We really should follow the same scientific standard as global warming scientists and discard the theory of discrimination as the cause of gender pay gap, but we don't. Instead we see "half" of people trying to explain the failed predictions with the injection that the more gender equal nations is in reality less gender equal, and the other half arguing that it doesn't matter that the prediction model do not explain the data.

This is where I think most contention lies in the discussions around gender pay gap.
> [small jet engines, price, piston engines for GA]

Another important reason is fuel consumption. Jet engines in general are extremely thirsty, AFAIK the only reason they became (unexpectedly!) competitive with piston engines is that they allow the planes to fly so much higher where the air is thinner.

In addition, small turbines are even less efficient than big ones.
What a fantastic article!
I was planning to study Sanskrit at ANU however it seems budget cuts have removed the course.
Or that is untapped and can be solved.
The distinction is present in the training data. So why wouldn't the classifier use the information? A completely rotation-invariant algorithm would most likely be more difficult to create, and would generate worse classifications because orientation is meaningful information.
Hmmm. Do you know anyone in a data science department you could ask about this? They might have a good idea about budget, need, and marketing opportunities.

I'd cold call a local university data science professor and see if you could take them out for coffee and ask them these questions. So typical high schlep customer discovery.

I do believe that many of the findings of nutrition science are half baked, provably contradictory, and ignore a plethora of factors that play a role in the interaction between food and health.

But there's another bazooka in the room: the contemporary erosion of trust in authority, in this case scientific authority. Ionannidis' remarks are for the best, I think, but will add to the confusion of not only what knowledge can the public trust but who is more apt to produce that knowledge.

Before things get better, this will inevitably widen the door not only for old bad science in new clothes, or in the form of professional, corporation funded research that resorts to p-hacking and such methods, but also to the further discredit of science in general in the general population.

Having said this, I do not believe Ioannidis' work (or Ben Goldacre's for that matter) is a tool of such agents.

Edit: After reading some comments in this thread, I have to say in all honesty that I suspect that the ACSH's interest in Ioannidis work is disingenuous, without putting into question the validity of his work.

I'm 40 and likely same gaming history, however I'll disagree with you on TF2 and, while I have not heard of it, Crossout

I played the original QWTF very competitively. It was simply a mod for a Quake. Man, already I want to swoon about mods and how they brought so much life to games (Counterstrike for Halflife anyone?), but I digress! I loved TF2 originally, however once they started adding all of those items it drove me nuts. Now if you wanted to be competitive you had to grind out or buy some of the weapons. These things changed the game. Not in a dramatic way, but enough. If they had just stuck to cosmetic hats I wouldnt have cared at all. Those are just for looks/fun and do not change the game.

As for games like Crossout where you can either grind or buy to speed things up, those are the epitomy of how evil micro transactions are. It is preying on peoples addiction or lack of patience. Any game that has things you can buy to speed up the playing of the game is one I will never play.

Then you have loot box games, where they prey on gambling like addictions. Until I started reading about loot box laws and stuff I never really gave it much thought. I have purchased loot boxes in the past, but I did so out of support for the developers. Overwatch came out and I loved that to death. When they released some new content for free, I was like "here this is my support for your continued efforts".

The Darth Vader trick EA pulled was pretty terrible too. That would be akin to Overwatch releasing a character behind $.

The only kind of micro transaction I like/approve of are cosmetic ones where they do not change how you play the game. You are just buying stuff to look different/"cooler". Fortnite is a successful example of this. Tons of people play for free and are no worse off than those who purchase the Battle Pass.

EA & Apex Legends are crossing the line ever so slightly with the "Free Game" but having other characters be unlockable. So far, if you play just a little bit, you can unlock one for free using the tokens you receive, however many people will just buy to unlock. Also it is rumored their batttle pass will bring another character. I say ever so slightly since, for now, this is a team only game and neither of the unlockable characters are game breaking like a Darth Vader would be all powerful.

Every other kind of micro transaction is essentially a pay to win mechanic, and why play games if you aren't trying to win?
well stratechery is your site lol. Ben Thompson is one of the best at doing exactly what you described.
Prolog is declarative, but it's very different to SQL and it's a shame to put the two together. It is much more interesting to examine Prolog from the logic programming point of view.

Also:

1) The sorting example is O(n!) not because of limitations of the language, as the article suggests, but because the algorithm implemented is permutation sort, which is O(n!).

A typical sorting algorithm example in Prolog is merge sort which is as efficient in Prolog as merge sort can be. Here are a few sorting algorithms in Prolog, including merge sort and quick sort:

http://kti.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~bartak/prolog/sorting.html

2) The Sudoku example uses a Constraint Logic Programming library implemented in Prolog (from the looks of it, Gnu Prolog). CLP is a different paradigm than plain logic programming, where one programs by specifying constraints.

A Sudoku solver in actual Prolog can be found in "99 Prolog Problems":

The sudoku solver is number 97.
> Put everything else in index funds every paycheck, and only check your balance every now and then. Let time be on your side.

I think this is not the obvious conclusion, but a sensible conclusion. You could also, for example, buy bonds from companies that you are sure enough would not easily default. If you know nothing about shares an index fund is not a bad idea.

But, in South Africa at least, some companies have pension funds where even the broker doesn't know (or care maybe?) which shares the fund invests in. The guy at the top (that knows exactly which shares are held) are not always the cleverest or most honest. To be fair, I think these are rather mostly investment funds run by investment companies, rather than an index fund like the S&P 500.

I think once you start earning enough to invest more than just for pension, the picture changes somewhat and you could even invest in alternative things. Agriculture, for example, is a promising prospect for a richer investor, but you need to count your chickens only when they are already old and fat.
> No one can reliably predict the business cycle let alone individual stock performance absent inside information. Stock picking is a losing game.

This is incorrect. Slow guys like Warren Buffet, and fast guys like Renaissance. Also a bunch of traders I either know or had some info about consistently beating the market.

Sometimes it is not inside information but public information that is hard to pick on. Or analysis that the average person can't do. Or access to other markets that can give you an extra handle that someone else doesn't. It is a big world out there.

I think this shows how poorly many neural networks are at handling ambiguity.

The picture is constructed to be ambiguous, and this property is preserved by the rotation: you can still easily see the duck by slightly shifting where you focus.

One mode might be more prominent at some orientation, but the ambiguity is always there so to confidently assign labels and then switch what you assign is an error. So you should be constantly switching as the two classes end up with very similar scores and the noise decides.

Either that, or you decide one label is the most appropriate and then it correctly handle the trivial rotation.
