What bothers me about pictures like that isn't so much having to cram through the tight space. It's the cave collapsing and being squished to death with a 0% chance of survival.

Do other people who are semi-claustrophobic fear the literal tight place, or dying from something going wrong that's out of your control? The same thing applies to heights. I have no problem with heights at all but ladders bother me a lot because I'm always thinking the ladder will fail at any second.
It's something where your progress and improvement can actually be tracked and measured, you can actually feel yourself improving by suddenly "outplaying" competition that you couldn't before.

As such it's a way to feel accomplishment and growth for people who don't have many other opportunities for feeling those things.

It's particularly appealing for people who struggle with participating in the usual venues for this, like sports clubs and other socializing that usually requires meat world interaction, which isn't a very easy thing to participate in for people with social anxiety issues.
PDF Signatures violate the The Cryptographic Signature Doom Principle, which is that your signing scheme will lead to doom unless the signature wraps the entirety of your document's binary representation. Same for XML signatures.

Violating the TCSDP doesn't mean that your scheme is technically wrong, but it does mean that implementations will often be wrong in funny ways.
Actually yes, most software does. Notable exceptions include a lot of Microsoft software, unfortunately. They used to be better about it but they've become exceptionally lazy about it lately. Unix culture's "hardcode all the paths" influence I expect.

And popular does not mean good. In fact, it is often the opposite.
Ah, you mean the mice? In the near-IR study it's not clear (to me, yet) whether all the cones are altered, or just some of them. If all of them are altered, then for sure, same N=2 as normal mice.

The monkeys are in a different study, the one I linked a few posts above.
>refuses to recognize that market failure is a thing

So much this. I call it "Econ 101 Syndrome". My undergrad was in Economics, and the amount of damage that has been done by requiring Business majors (and others) to take Econ 101 and only Econ 101 is staggering. People walk away from those courses seeing the world through a lens of perfect competition, no externalities, no information asymmetries, no transaction costs, etc. and so end up coming to a faulty conclusion on every major policy question.
I don't live in New York or LA, so to some people I might as well be a hill-jack. But I very much appreciate as much space as possible. I've also noticed a huge increase in full or partly remote positions in recent years.

I think a lot of psychologists really have no clue. I was diagnosed with bi-polar II when I was 10, then major depressive disorder, then adhd, the oppositional defiance disorder. I was put on so many different medications which fucked me up and stole my adolescents from me. I ended up a ward of the state and cycled through more than a few mental institutions in my teens. Then I met someone who was like “I think this kids previous shrinks fucked up. I’m taking him off all the medication and then I’m going to observe him and find a diagnosis.”

Turns out I had Aspergers. So at age 15 I was diagnosed, and then participated in a few brain studies which confirmed it. I stayed off the medication and went through therapy focusing on life skills and human relationship training (how to talk to and interact with huerotyipicals).

Since then my life has been pretty good. It’s had its ups and downs, but a wonderful journey into my 30s.

In my case I was on the spectrum, but the whole experience has made me very skeptical of psychologists. I sometimes think about how many terrible programmers there are. I think the same spread of skills probably exists in every profession. Unfortunately, in psychology if you’re bad at your job, you end up ruining lives.

Like anything else, it’s best to shop around.

Thanks! As I said in my eulogy, we had many good times, as well as some bad together, and I cherish them all. Thankfully (as both of us were photographers) I have plenty of amazing photos to relive those memories with.
I expect that the continuing popularity and necessity of distributed programming is going to finally put an end to the idea that "programming doesn't involve mathematics". It is just so much easier if you approach it from the sort of mathematical mindset demonstrated in this paper, and exactly as discussed, this is going to be a whole-stack affair, not something that can be isolated to just the data layer, despite our valiant and useful efforts on that front so far.

Programming this way is already easier in a lot of places, but the boundary between non-distributed systems that are possible without mathematical thinking and the ones that can only be done with mathematical thinking is easy to ignore. It tends to be specific niches where programs are only possible with this sort of thinking, and everything else can mostly be hit hard enough with a stick until it works well enough that we can can just get on with it. But as things get distributed, it just becomes insanely difficult to build even a "correct enough" system if you're not building it with some sort of math at least held in your mind as you design it. And "distributed" isn't just about servers, it's about multi-core CPUs, it's about GPUs, it's about CPUs and GPUs, it's about networks, just everywhere you look there's more and more "distributed" arising.

> monopolies (like Netflix)

I can't think of a single metric by which Netflix can be called a monopoly.

A comparable number of number have Amazon Prime Video and Hulu while trailing isn't in a david-vs-goliath situation.

Netflix has been struggling to keep licences, let alone licence shows exclusively.

Then you have groups like HBO-go who get a huge influx of users, when their flagship show releases. But, users quickly leave when they realize they don't like anything else.

Netflix is ahead atm, because it is better (or less worse) and not because of monopolistic practices keeping themselves in front.
The Complete Spectrum ROM Disassembly is a great book which I have had since those days. It is incredible how much they packed into that thing, and reading through for each function your reaction is going to be "is that it?". Available as a PDF with a quick Google. I have referred to it often to see the most economical way to do stuff.
The Digital Signature of a message is based on the content of the message and the private key of the signer. Therefore a digital Signature is bound to a particular user and a specific message.

So, If I copy your digital signature and attach with my message, the receiver (relying party) would be able to (instantly) determine (through a PKI enabled Application) that I have not signed the message.

The fourth paragraph of the article links to an article titled, "Sleeping in on the weekends can compensate for lack of sleep during the week, study suggests." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2...)

That study tracked 38,000 people over 13 years. "People who slept for fewer than the recommended seven hours each weekday, but caught an extra hour or two on weekends, lived just as long as people who always slept seven hours, the authors reported."

In hindsight (classic) this makes sense. I guess I was imagining a scenario where the house debt is already mostly paid off but not fully, the house is repossessed and the lender has the debt mostly already paid and now owns the property. I don't own any property and so I'm trying to build a mental model of all the moving parts.
> Cool. So it seems like PDF signatures are broken by design, not just implementation. If you can just append unsigned content to a signed PDF, you are toast.

I don’t know that I’d say that. Seems like it'd be useful behaviour to be able to make post-signature modifications so long as it’s clear what they are.

As a concrete example, it’s the obvious way to implement a documented contractual negotiation: party A drafts a contract & signs it, then party B makes modifications & signs the bundle of (original contract, signature, modifications), then party A countersigns party B’s modifications & signature, indicating acceptance.

Or maybe I’m missing something?
I think it's more than repairs. The model to which this is converging is the abandonment of ownership. You do want to get YOUR car repaired but if it's not your car in the first place, you can't. I think the narrative is slowly building towards that. You're licensed to drive the car, you bought the license, not the car. It doesn't matter if you are in physical possession of the metal parts as long as the software running them is updated automatically and you're not allowed to repair them.

"Chrysler/Ford/GM are happy to sell you parts like engines and transmissions without caring whether they'll even be used in a car"

Ancedata says some of the big 3 do care. A guy down the road from me ordered 500 engines from Ford. They followed up on the order and when he explained they were for airplanes, they cancelled it, saying they didn't want to be liable for an automotive engine in a plane.

His plan to turn his custom plane into a kit stopped at a beautiful one-off that sits in his museum when he isn't flying it.

If he was going to put the engines in a tractor, I bet they would have sold them, but they didn't want to be liable for something in a plane.

*Edit - it was 1000 engines, not 500. Also found a link some might find interesting: http://stonehengeairmuseum.org/1992-montaniar

Financial industry makes money off transactions and commissions.

The idea of hyper-unstable living seems to be if you live by yourself or with a spouse you'll make a mortgage transaction every 20 years on average, but if you try to live in a giant commune like a 90s era sitcom, it'll financially collapse every 2 years and ya gotta live somewhere so you'll be entering into new transactions the bank can middleman every two years rather than every twenty years. They probably will make less money off each transaction, maybe lose some of the time, but if you increase transaction volume by 10, as long as their profit drops less than 90% its a net gain for them on average.

Also interest is profit to the financial institution, they'll make far more money off ten two year mortgages than one twenty year mortgage. With a side dish of the bank eating all the equity in interest in fees meaning the participants will be much poorer after twenty years meaning the bank can extract ever more middleman profits off the victims.

The nightmare scenario for a financial institution is someone getting a mortgage, paying it off early, and not getting another mortgage.

There are already digital file formats that are difficult to read - often made worse by them having design quirks that are not documented anywhere and only exist in the original implementation, which of course won't run on modern systems. The same can happen for particular (non-standard) variations of documented formats.

Digital data formats have the same problem as large and popular websites (eg. social media): they look permanent, simply because they're so popular, even when they never are really permanent. At some point, they're going to fall into disuse, and from then on, documentation will slowly fade away.

This is why it's so important to work on permanently documenting these file formats today, while the 'documentation rot' is still fairly limited. It's why things like this exist: http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/Main_Page

You live in a universe where astronomical events lightyears away can obliterate life on earth with no advance warning whatsoever. Being in control is an illusion.
going to go out on a limb as I might not know what I'm talking about - a tesla is blurring the lines between mechanics and software to an even greater degree than most/all other conusmer-level cars on the road. IIUC, Chrysler/Ford/GM/Toyota etc. don't give consumers any ability to mess with the electronics or software in these cars. I can see how Tesla engineers would be uncomfortable with hobbyists putting the cars together themselves. The Teslas are really super different than any other car I've driven (I've driven a few).

That said I absolutely support what this guy is doing, I'm just saying allowing your highly computerized car to also be hackable without adding new safety risks adds a lot of engineering expense to it and I can see why Tesla doesn't want to allow that. I don't want people messing with the source code of my libraries that I release and then suing me when they unsuccessfully tried using it to calculate how much fuel their plane has left.

Hi Calvin!

This looks awesome and makes me want to use Segment all the more, but I can't because your pricing is insane if you want to track anonymous visitors to a site that gets even moderate traffic. 100k visitors per month (which is hardly crazy) costs me nothing on Google Analytics, nothing on Mixpanel, but ~$1,000 per month on Segment? I'd be happy to pay, but you guys are charging $10 CPM on anonymous visitors who are worth far less than that. Which means my options are either to only push customers to Segment (and thus lose the ability to tell where they came from, which is super valuable info), or just integrate directly with GA, Mixpanel, etc.

I'm hardly alone either: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19221872

Is this just completely not the market you're going after? Is there some way to use Segment that I'm missing? Or is your target market just fine with paying $10 for every 1000 anonymous visitors they get per month?
The happy path (apt-get install, or even ./configure && make && make install) is about the same.

When things go sideways, I find troubleshooting pip a little trickier. Some of this might be the tooling, but there's a cultural part too: C++ libraries seem fairly self-contained, with fewer dependencies, whereas a lot of python code pulls in everything under the sun.
"This is outstanding -- although in lieu of Yet Another New Programming Language (YANPL), I would suggest simply having developers learn the concepts and apply them no matter what environment they're in."

One of the recurring themes I've been banging on on HN for the last couple of months is that there's actually a lot of room for new languages to come out that aren't just respellings of the current languages we have, and this is one of the opportunities that exist. I say this because the vast bulk of our current languages will just fight you so much if you try to work this way. What most languages are designed to do and designed to make easy are precisely the things that will blow your foot off. Trying to make this work in current languages is tapdancing through a minefield. It can certainly be done, but it's not something I think we can ever reasonably expect to be done at scale.

As you suggest, Haskell is pretty much the only semi-popular language that could implement this with a library, and it would be correct. And even then it probably would be a not-entirely-optimal experience, just because it's not really optimized for this.
You’re a joy to be around. Haha.

The biggest difference vs dockerized theia and coder is I have access to the actual server instead of just the docker container.

This means I have the full power of the underlying server, access to my docker on the host and any other features.

This also means though that it is direct shell access over the web and should be locked down like Fort Knox.

Funny, I'd assumed it was a reference to the movie monster.
The takeaway I got from OP is that Numenta is promoting more redundancy in those first [n-1] layers than might be typical in (e.g.) existing vision systems. The paper the original post is about doesn't discuss value-of-redundancy in those terms, but suggests that having different modules with similar structure is useful for learning compositional models where objects are composed out of other objects. I'm not really in a position to say how well this aligns with SOTA techniques; intuitively it seems like you could reinterpret the algebra of those modules a few different ways and have the same function, so I'd want to see more proof-of-novelty.

Separately, there's a somewhat dusty area of machine learning called "Boosting" which treats this problem of combining a bunch of different classifiers explicitly. You're exactly right that traditional DNNs can implement a pretty decent approach to boosting, but there are some interesting techniques from that community that don't fit as easily into the standard DNN data graph perspective. For example, check out BrownBoost, which lets you set parameters about believed noise in training data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrownBoost
