I work in the field of deep learning but in the 1980s and 1990s I used Common Lisp and worked on symbolic AI projects.

For several years, my gut instinct has been that the two technologies should be combined. Since neural nets are basically functions, I think it makes sense to compose functional programs using network models for perception, word and graph embedding, etc.

EDIT: I can’t wait to see the published results in May!

The US actually is multiple oil markets. The east coast is its own market, with limited shipments via too few pipelines, some rail, some truck, from the rest of the US. It's illegal to use a non-US flagged tanker to ship from Texas to the east coast, and there are no US flagged tankers to do so.

The refineries on the east coast are built to refine Saudi light crude oil. So, the east coast is dependent on middle eastern crude oil.

What about the people in the industries being 'disrupted' by the strategy of flooding the market with unsustainably-cheap products or services (e.g. taxi drivers being undercut by Uber) ?
I don't have an email account for t0t4lnoo3, seems awkward to create one but if that's what it takes, ok then. If they explained it here wouldn't this help others in the future?
Completely agree. Walking around San Fran the lack of public restrooms and reticence of shopowners to let you use their private restroom made me want to poop on the street.

Santa Monica had a bunch of public restrooms and you NEVER see poop on the street like on San Fran.
I worked for a computer company in the Boston area in the late 80s/90s and there were a minuscule number of Asians. We did some support work for legacy products in India through a partner and had a Japanese subsidiary but it was a rarity for any people from those orgs to be located in the US.
I'm underwhelmed. In this specific example, the individual in question could've gotten out ahead of the press cycle and explained herself. That she didn't means the beliefs she holds as reported probably are her beliefs, and yeah---that's unacceptable for this role. This isn't thoughtless litmus-testing; this is "Google has a track record of errors regarding its trans userbase and is a company that specifically wants to do better there." If she doesn't see trans people as valid, she's the wrong fit for the role.
It makes logical sense to direct efforts towards change at a body that is powerful enough to enact change.

There is usually a confusion of practical and moral responsibility, of course. Moral responsibility is a heuristic based on evolutionary incentives, that sometimes is and sometimes isn't useful for enacting change.
This seems like the best solution for syncing with Keepass, especially since every new sync target needs to be approved.

Sharing password files via Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. is convenient, but how is that really different than what Lastpass does?

With Syncthing being peer to peer, there's a lot less opportunity for someone else to even know your password file exists.

Honestly I don't see anything to explain other than maybe Germany is basically trying to accomplish it's goal on nightmare difficulty. (almost no sun, south is far away from offshore wind, shutting down nuclear, no hydro)

The next step is reducing the carbon impact of transportation but that is something that hugely relies on battery prices falling over the next decade.

Your argument hangs on the assumption of perfect competition and therefore a frictionless market.

Neither of these assumptions hold in practice.
Of course[1], but this tutorial isn't about the language, per se, you should be able to translate it pretty trivially.

These sorts of tutorials are more about the inner workings of database operation; I recall doing something like this in grad school but you're reminded quickly how more complex databases are than you think about when all you're doing is using them. And hell, I'm not even that good at using them.

Los Angeles sprawled before it became the center of gravity for the cult of the car. It was like that when people were getting around via street cars and on foot.

Its sprawl is rooted in the logistics of desert development. You had to develop large tracts to cover the costs of the water infrastructure. Without water infrastructure, you weren't going to develop anything.

There are myriad forces that shape given cities. I'm disinclined to accept the notion that our current car cult mentality is inevitable, irreversible, etc. and we can't do anything good anymore "like they used to do."
I think fixing the sentencing in the USA requires first to overcome the fixation on good and evil and sin which in turn requires overcoming the abrahamistic religions.

If you are determinined someone is evil, you are willing to sentence them irrationally harshly based on that. If, however, your guiding principle is, that the justice system is a tool of society to keep peace and minimize injustice (among other things) then you will come to more nuanced judgments.

There is no good and evil. These are made-up categories and super subjective. We can unmake them, i.e. make them less powerful on the political level.
I think you are misunderstanding the phrase trade-off. A trade-off means that something is good for one thing, but not as good for something else. Your examples are exactly an example of a trade-off. A hammer is good at hammering nails, but not good for screwing in screws, because there has been a trade-off to design the tool to make it better for hammering nails than for screwing in screws.

All tools are better at one thing then another. The point of examining trade-offs is to decide which advantages are more appropriate to which circumstance.

Are you just referring to gig economy workers or white collar workers who are also getting six figure incomes based on VC money? How much less would even profitable companies have to pay for white collar workers if they didn’t have to compete with VC funded startups and there were bunch of people out of work because VC funding dried up?
I genuinely don’t get people denying even the existence of opposing arguments. I am perfectly fine with arguing against them, even in such juvenile Ayn Rand terms. But to just pretend that there is no argument whatsoever seems disingenuous.

- Über replaces taxis. Taxi drivers are relatively well situated wrt to pay, insurance, etc. Uber drivers are working poor. Therefore, the middle class wins, the lower class suffers.

- In some cases, Uber replaces other modes of transportation, such as public transit. If you drive everywhere, you should hate Uber for clogging the streets. Also the environment, etc.

- Uber is a shitshow internally. Remember hw they bought nice jackets for everyone on the team, except the single woman because they wouldn’t get a mass discount on that jacket? Yeah...

The I-Pace is not as efficient as a Tesla so the range is not quite as promised.

As with any electric, Tesla ranges can be below what is promised too, if you drive fast, as you allude to. But the problem is amplified with the I-Pace since the car is not as efficient.

With some margin, a 1 hour radius sounds like about what I would expect from an I-Pace. Whereas with Tesla the radius is effectively unlimited in most of the US for example, due to the density of the network.
> why are people singing up for the gig economy jobs?

Despair and deception. Companies have figured out how to shift costs onto their employees, then claim that those employees are "independent contractors." Uber is a global taxi company that pays millions of employees starvation wages. It sells itself as an SV "technology" company that pays a few thousand employees a few hundred thousand dollars a year to convince people to wear out their cars for less than minimum wage.
React Hooks FAQ
The idempotency in REST is about the State Transfer, not the state itself.

The POST is not idempotent because it transferred a change of state (of the button) between the client and the server. REST is about State Transfer between a client and server.

POST/DELETE send a change of state of a resource.

GET/HEAD/OPTIONS do not.

PUT and PATCH are idempotent iff the server does not change the state of the resource except as the result of the PUT or PATCH.

It is not about the state of a resource on either the client or server, both are free to change that state independently.

Doing a GET on the current state of the button is idempotent because the client doesn't change the state of the button.

But there's nothing to stop the server (ie the elevator electronics) to change the state of the button (show it as "pressed") if something else changes the state (eg, someone in the elevator presses the button for that floor, the button might display as "pressed" on the floor itself).
We're particularly good at refining heavier, sour crude, but the sharp declines in Mexican and Venezuelan oil production and exports, and pipeline capacity from Canada maxing out has left us with overcapacity for those grades of crude. I wasn't able to confirm this with a few minutes of searching, but as I recall heavier Saudi crude has become attractive for this reason, plus Saudi Aramco fully owns Port Arthur, our big refinery, as of 2017.
Right, but without the gig economy jobs they'd have less possibilities for income.
Yup, thanks. HN confused me somewhat because the thread about Ulrich was shown when I wasn't logged in, but wasn't shown when I was logged in.
A publicly traded company should act in the interest of its shareholders. If a large portion of those shareholders hold certain moral standards that they value higher than money, shouldn't the company be held to those standards?

If people felt that strongly about a CEO's haircut, maybe it should be up for debate too, but it's a terrible comparison since it wouldn't affect society at large the way that large-scale surveillance does.

Edit: I misread this to mean “all devs take a week off” instead of “a light week in collaboration on some backlog stuff” - that makes total sense.

I also misread the "first week" stuff to mean that you leave the room and take a week off.

Having a light week while this is happening makes sense. It ends up being light anyway while the transitions happen. Apologies for the misread.

As for madness - I was not at all implying the suggestion was madness, and different things work for different teams / projects. I personally find standups are super helpful so I wouldn't want to get rid of them. That regular cadence it creates is very helpful in making sure we all stick our heads up and incorporate what's going on around us. If your teams are doing this already without the regular touch-points, that's awesome, but I find that with most teams that is a learned thing that takes a lot of time, and regular scheduled places to update are important to success.
Stack: a pile of objects, typically one that is neatly arranged.

Fundamentally, a stack is not about technology. Sure, it is used to represent a data structure in software, but the same can be said for queues, heaps, pipelines... And yes, it can also be used when the graphical representation of something looks like a pile of boxes sitting on top of each other, which is common in tech (ex: the TCP/IP model).

It may be true that tech popularized the word "stack" but it is just as easy (in fact easier) to imagine a stack of books rather than anything software related. Using that as an argument that "software is eating the world" is circular reasoning.

I'm curious, how do you manage your passwords?
I don't agree. Idempotency in terms of REST (or equivalent) is about the effect on the receiver of the call. Pressing the button each time is definitely not idempotent, because it is a change of state of the button.

The fact that the server may choose to ignore this change in terms of the travel of the elevator is not relevant to the change of state of the button transmitted by it being pressed.

U.S. job growth rebounds in March; but wage gains slow
In the information age, people perceive authority and trustworthiness differently. This can be both a good thing and a bad thing.

What we really need is a solution to the problem of `building diverse expert opinion` that doesn't rely on a panel of flawed humans, because in the 21st century it's obvious the public will refuse to trust said expert panel when it conflicts with their worldview in an entirely unrelated way (eg a members view on climate change).

I don't think there's a point fighting against the public outcry on this, as many commenters here seek to do. People don't trust authority the same in the information age, and the world needs to adapt to that.
You will always find someone willing to work for less money or in worse conditions. It’s why we have minimum wage and workers’ rights regulations.

To the extent that existing minimum wage and workers’ rights regulations haven’t caught up with the gig economy, these jobs looks like capital exploiting labor by having found a loophole in the rules.

The fundamental problem is that the carbon impact of electricity just doesn't matter that much. It's only something like 24% of the total energy used in Germany. If the renewable electricity share is 50% then that means total renewable energy share is only 12%. Transportation and heavy industry still depend on fossil fuels. Innovation in these sectors is far more important now than more investments into renewable electricity (which is still welcome of course).

Easy:

- Step 1: Switch to selling $11 (2 x $5 bills + $1 coin) for exactly one $10 bill, cutting your net loss per trx by 80% and showing how serious you are about going profitable. But its just a ruse, what your really doing is capturing the market supply of 10$ bills.

- Step 2: Once you have this, you can now start selling branded $1000 laptops for $10 (bills). Increasing the value of $10 bills and allowing you to offload your existing stock of $10 bills for $15 (or more).

At this stage you now have (a) an incredibly profitable 10$ bill business, (b) a spectacular growth story in the consumer electronics space with (c) proven ability to reach profitability.

> The American population's opinions are not well represented among that group.

I grew up in small town rural Pennsylvania in a lower middle class family. I'm certainly now someone who is "in the industry". What differentiates me from myself twenty years ago is twenty years of learning and experience. I went to school, I had jobs.

What you're implying is that even someone like me wouldn't have a representative opinion of the American population. If any American, after being educated on the subject they're expected to develop ethics guidelines on, is no longer an acceptable candidate, we've started down a very dangerous path. It means that expert opinions are inherently untrusted. How can ethics be developed in a reasonable way if the people we trust with the task are people whose credentials are their likeability?
Any possibility you're going to link to any of that sauce so we can decode it?
The error you're making in trading off a bit more discomfort for an already-marginalized group against any discomfort for the mainstream is exactly the reason having someone in an AI ethics board who doesn't see being a trans person as valid was a problem.

It's also the reason we need more ethics boards, because it's a common error technical training leads a person to, where we're taught how to optimize for common cases and defend against unusual cases---when the things we use aren't people and don't care if they're considered "common" or "unusual."
There's plenty of good reasons to bash Microsoft, but 'lack of backwards compatibility' just isn't one of them. If anything, I think their obsession with backwards compatibility drove a lot of compromised design decisions at that company.

Without the gig economy jobs they could get welfare. But they don't qualify for welfare because gig economy jobs are available.
I somewhat disagree with this idea -- it's important to drop unrewarding lines of enquiry, but more because you've reached the point where it becomes clear the answer would be boring than because it won't pay the bills. I mean, you have to get with the program sometimes and drop an interesting problem because you can't afford to continue working on it, but at that point it's not really dropped. It's just become an itch you can't scratch. If the problem is interesting enough, the pursuit is its own reward.

I'm going to hazard a guess that that's fairly standard for drug kingpins which is what Ulbricht was convicted of (amongst other things).

I honestly have no idea how much taxi fares are and have only used a Taxi when I was in New York in 2012. Before Uber, I would rent a car at the airport.

How many people use Uber for the convenience and are not price sensitive? How many people use Uber who have cars but use it so they won’t risk getting a DUI? Heck we use it just when we don’t feel like going through the hassle of parking and dealing with traffic when we go into the city center from the burbs sometimes.
I respect that someone who studies climate science can have grave concerns with the consensus, and may some day revolutionize or even reverse our current understanding. I welcome their criticism. I believe in Red Teams, who do everything they can to tear down the work of the main stream view. If their best efforts to deny a claim fail, you have that much more strength in the claim.

Kay Coles James has not studied climate science.

As a lay person, she has rejected the scientific consensus.

I have a difficult time imagining the value of the input she would provide to any ethics board.

I've worked with IRB for healthcare. I wouldn't want a phrenologist on my IRB. Or a homeopathic medicine advocate. Someone who pushes MLM essential oils. A young-earth creationist. A Christian Scientist who rejects medicine. A Scientologist who rejects psychology.

Those people aren't on the Red Team. They're on the Denial Team. They don't want to make my process better. They don't believe in my process.

There's a huge difference between respecting a person, engaging them on a personal level, listening to their concerns, granting them dignity, allowing them to self-determine, having a vote in politics, etc... And allowing that same person to steer ethics for a corporation, or industry.

Society needs to have the broader conversations you're talking about. No question. I hear what you're saying. But an ethics board can and should be more selective about who they invite.
