What was the reasoning behind this change?
It meshes with certain other results, for example on timing of predictions (http://www.kurzweilai.net/more-evidence-that-youre-a-mindles...), and most interestingly on split-brain patients (http://www.powerofstories.com/our-brains-constantly-confabul...). In the latter case, split-brain people would make choices based on information only available to their right brain, then when asked to explain them would unconsciously invent an explanation for that choice which was based only on information from their left brain.

I'm not sure philosophically whether our inability to understand our decisions undermines our free will, but it certainly undermines any ability to consciously prime ourselves to make certain decisions - hard to have that feedback loop when you don't even know what decision you made!
Yet swapping from factory farmed beef to locally sourced free range chicken will help with both.

Neither caring about the environment, nor caring about non-human pain and suffering are binary choices. What is better for animal well being may be worse for the environment (plastics in lieu of leather), and vice versa (forest clearing for Palm oil plantations). It's important to care about both and to do what _you_ believe is the most important.

You should strive to make better choices, even if they are imperfect.
> Ruby method calls are syntactic sugar over the send method of Kernel, which basically is the interpreter itself.

Technically, the method you are thinking about (for modern Ruby) is __send__; send is (to support legacy code) by default an alias for __send__ but can be overridden without breaking the world (communication-related classes do this sometimes, because send is often a natural name for an action in their domain.)

Redefining __send__ in a class is possible, but quite likely to blow up in interesting ways.

I use go modules to avoid having to work out of $GOPATH (~/go). When I work on projects or components I have them all separate in different directories in different locations on the filesystem. Next they should put pulled git dependencies under ~/cache/go or something, not in a top level $HOME directory.

Thief: The Ray-Traced Age?
While the reply is great I feel it is missing the point a bit. The reason it feels so fast is IMO because everything else is so slow. Look at the numbers in below link (near the bottom). Windows 10 is extremely slow. Linux is often twice as fast with the same hardware and the same software. Why they still haven't fixed it is beyond me.

EDIT. Doh, forgot the link.

Java SE 12 Edition Language Specification
The 'tether' part is a big deal though in addition to the cost. Having tried both, I would prefer less realistic graphics vs having to keep the cable position in the back of my mind (I don't think I quite realized how much it subtracts from immersion until it went away). If you can assume the system is wireless, I think that actually frees up game design quite a bit to involve more rapid movements around the play-space that might be impractical or dangerous with a cable.

I think the future of PC headsets is wireless streaming to standalone VR devices (I'd much rather have one $400 device that can do both than pay for separate PC and mobile ones). I think Oculus said they were actually investigating wireless PC streaming for the Quest, but obviously that wasn't a design requirement up front so who knows if they will get it working. If they do get it working, it seems like that could basically kill sales for the Rift so I can see why they might not want to put too many resources into it.
I'm afraid that this problem will only be exacerbated by the influx of "data scientists" that may know how to implement linear regression and a few machine learning models, but lack the statistical expertise to design experiments, vet assumptions, and verify results.

This comment is not meant to disparage anyone who considers themselves a data scientist. However, as someone who has advanced degrees in both statistics and computer science, employers and recruiters outside of R&D roles have shown very little interest in my statistical background aside from my machine learning experience. My experimental design, data handling (not just data cleaning, but data collection) skills, and theoretical understanding are rarely discussed. Statisticians are compensated much less than programmers--maybe deservedly so--but to that extent that I'm compensated the same as a "data scientist" who only studied computer science and didn't study any statistics, I feel like many employers, even those who benefit heavily from them, don't properly compensate statisticians.

At my alma mater, the poor wages have really hurt the statistics program as more students have decided to enroll in the "data science" (typically housed within business or computer science departments) programs. I think this is a really unfortunate trend because while those programs teach you how to implement gradient descent, do basic data wrangling in Python and R, make data visualizations, etc. they don't teach experimental design or the statistical theory that drives applied statistics. Perhaps as the supply of well-trained statisticians decreases and demand increases there will be upward wage pressure, but I think it's more likely that unqualified and inexperienced "data scientists" will continue to be shoehorned into these empty roles instead.

You're looking at it strictly from a safety perspective which is a small part of the whole picture. If we looked at transportation from a safety perspective throughout history, we'd still be walking everywhere. What's the risk of crashing and dying while walking? Zero; it's fully optimized for safety. We rode horses and now drive cars to save time. Driving to work is unquestionably a better experience than riding a horse into work every day, but it could be better- we could be sleeping on our way into the office, or starting our work day as we leave our driveway, or eating a good breakfast and finishing our makeup (while not endangering everyone else).

Having commuting time available as what amounts to "free time" is an insane boost to daily life. A quick google says Americans spend 12.2 days per year in their cars. If 300 million people can save 12 days' time per year, you're freeing up ten million years of time every year.

I'm not advocating for throwing everyone in self driving cars untested and who cares how many people die, but if, on the journey to saving many millennia of time every year, a person is killed, why should the company be sued into oblivion? If we're going to sue everyone into oblivion whenever anything doesn't go quite right, why would any company ever try to take on difficult problems?

Ask HN: Discovery and validation of product ideas in B2B and hardtech?
I'd like to spend my time working on difficult or interesting problems. My current line of work doesn't fill that criteria. I see product opportunities in my current field around industry specific reporting tools etc, but this would be far from interesting or technically challenging.

When it comes to idea/product validation, the usual line is to get involved in target market communities and talking to customers ASAP. This seems straight forward enough for consumer/social products, but what are some good methods for validating b2b and/or hardtech products. A lot of hardtech companies/products seem to work in obscurity for years before raising but this seems to go against all startup teaching, and the rest seem to come out of academia. Am I wrong?

Assuming ability to build relevant complex products, is it possible to research industries and develop hard tech products for them without prior knowledge of said industries? What are the best ways to go about that, and any examples?

Any responses much appreciated!
I tried some Quorn for the first time recently and that already seems to cover your stage 1 & maybe 2 ("beef" lasagna and "chicken" schnitzel) and it was surprisingly good. The chicken in particular was not really distinguishable from cheaper fast food or frozen schnitzels I'd had in the past (probably says more about them than the Quorn).

Roast chicken with crispy skin seems a while away though.
Of interest , the DeepRacer does reinforcement learning while donkeycar has a completely different approach (supervised learning). It would be interesting to see them compete

> The point that you've lost sight of here is that someone can do that and someone likely will.

Sure, that is inherent in the freedom of powerful tools, you can also use them to do dangerous things. But that is besides the point.

The point is that the default and simplest way is the safe way to spawn commands.

You have to do extra work to invoke dangerous shellisms. You need to at least understand that arguments are conceptually not one long string but an array of several strings, and to invoke a shell you would already have to start with splitting that invocation into an array, so you gain little from then writing the rest of your command as one string, you might as well split up all of them and avoid all those escaping pitfalls.

This is the contrast to other languages which have constructs like system("echo foo"), spawn_sh("echo foo") or whatever which are superficially easier to easier use than launching child processes the safe way.
In this regard rust is safer than most other languages, since it has no "construct which calls the shell" - note the active voice used here, "can be used to call a shell", passive, is a different case.

This is all I have claimed in this thread.

Isn't the ban on pig products thought to have been based on it being a disease vector? Considering that this is no longer relevant with modern sanitation and medicine it would seem they're using it as a checklist rather than applying any sort of logic.
The incompetence originates from the disregard of the parent commenter's question/concern. It's the result of not engaging in good faith with your student, not necessarily the conclusions drawn. As I mentioned in my original comment, the value in taking a philosophy class (especially as a student in a different field) is the chance to engage with both the professor and your peers; it serves as a veritable petri dish for developing one's ability to succinctly articulate and debate topics. If you're expected to sit in a philosophy class and just absorb the material without any contrary thought, something is seriously awry. It goes against the very nature of why humans pursued philosophy in the first place.

Furthermore, it seems strange for a professor of philosophy to so easily dismiss criticism out of hand. Of all subjects, a philosophy professor has a pedagogical imperative to entertain contradictory positions and explain why or why not one ought to follow a line of reasoning. In addition, the question about the merit of a small sample size could itself serve as a valuable aside in teaching fundamental notions in the philosophy of science.

Note: This is from the perspective of Western analytic philosophy, but the spirit of debate and discussion is no less integral to the continental tradition.

As far as I can tell, rsc.io/sampler isn't a git repository, so it's not doing the same stuff `go get` does. If I try to clone it I just get hit by the HTTP redirect to the docs for rsc.io/sampler.

I may be missing something here (it's been quite a while since I did serious Go stuff so `go get` may have changed too)

> Does it, though? It's a blog-post, not the "normal" documentation. The full docs are much more explicit and nitty-gritty than a high-level blog post.

It's a bit weird to have a blog post about the new module system with nothing about how modules can be published, a pretty common task.

A Noisy Signal: Intel Circuit Squashes Side-Channel Sniffing
> Linux is often twice as fast with the same hardware and the same software. Why they still haven't fixed it is beyond me.

Linux is no different. Gnome terminal has a ton of input latency compared to xterm. It's like night and day. A lot of graphical apps in Linux have added input latency just like Windows. It's due to layers of UI abstractions and frameworks (the same as Windows but different UI toolkits of course).

That links just shows that VSCode and Atom are both horrendously bad for input latency on any OS.

Other companies call their technologies by more precise names. Other companies call it "Lane Keep Assist". Tesla is the only one calling it "autopilot". Therefore, people have different expectations when they use the thing.

Its Tesla's marketing that people are really complaining about: "Full self driving", "Navigate on Autopilot", "Enhanced Summon".

> cost that would be borne by the buyer in a competitive market

There is no such thing; any such cost is a parasitic loss that comes out of the value of the transaction. Two parties are transacting, and in comes this little vampire and sucks away a bit of it, leaving both of them poorer.

Reasoning such as "the other party pays it so it makes no difference to me" is horribly irrational and innumerate.
Well.. sure. I agree that AirBnB would be bad in a communist enclave.
I agree and that's why I said server based images should be small but for user based OSes, for development work or browsing, size should be the last thing on the feature list. It's the development mindset that is pushing for small OS sizes and we should put that in the backburner in exchange for a good user experience.

So we have 800 scientists signing a paper, but there are on the order of 7 million scientists worldwide. To prove the hypothesis "scientists rise up against statistical significance" with 95% confidence level and a .1 confidence interval, we need a sample size of 857,462. A sample size of just 800 is clearly not statistically significant, so the paper is meaningless and the hypothesis can be rejected. Am I doing this right?

Could you elaborate precisely how this scheme works to stop a company claiming reports are duplicates when they’re not?
You are mixing up "waste material" with "material waste". The parent was making a point about cost. It's cheaper not to feed male baby chicks. It's cheaper to raze the forest. It's cheaper to let cows fart.

There are externalized costs to these things, but they don't really affect the prices that people are going to pay for the produce, at least not directly. I guess you can charge a small markup for being "green" (or pretending to be).

Now maybe a cow is only "3% efficient" in terms of calories, but the calories it takes in are really cheap and the calories it puts out are prized. It's a profit deal! In engineering, higher efficiency generally is more expensive and the economic optimum is never the efficiency optimum.

The question often isn't the interest rate. Any large multinational company can pay 1, 3 or 6% on debt. It's the amount of money firms can borrow. Banks are throwing money around at the moment, for free.
Brief etymology of "professor":

From Latin "profiteri", to the form "profess-" meaning "declared publicly", and to "professor", then to Late Middle English as "professor".

So a professor's practice is probably closer to definition 2: "make a public declaration of" whatever one's skill or knowledge of a particular art might be.
If anyone’s curious about the difference between Wagyu and Kobe, my company has this article on the subject midway down the page: https://www.crowdcow.com/article/akemika2t/japanese-a5-wagyu...
I feel like this misses another important prong of the article, which is: that failing to find a "statistically significant" correlation (according to some given significance test) is often mistakenly interpreted even by scientists themselves as meaning "We have a good basis to conclude that there is no such correlation".

You could, but it’s theoretically possible to have keys whose hashes always collide, even with different hash functions.

This is not a purely theoretical concern, I should note. There are practical DoS attacks that can be carried out by deliberately crafting colliding keys. The current state of the art seems to be to make it impractical for attackers to accomplish this by incorporating secret data into the hash function, rather than by ensuring the theoretical worst case is acceptable. Which is probably the right approach.
