Hi.

1) I can't find the really clear article that introduced me to this, but a fellow started a hardware/software company in Nelson, BC (2016 population = 10 664 people). It appears to me that he moved to the small city for the lifestyle, started networking for like-minded people by forming a hacker space, and was able to found a high-tech company. [1] [2] [3]

2) I have a friend who had some success making mobile games, and asked a couple of us, who live in the rural southern Alberta, Canada (my town's population is ~3500) to help co-found a company to do more of this. [I myself am a programmer, not an entrepreneur]. We did contract people (especially programmers, artists) around the world, peaking at around 30 people. The business did really well for about three years but is struggling now.

I wish we could afford to hire local talent. I see so many incredibly talented people, such as a world-class painter, struggling to make ends meet. I also know that the chief limit on people moving to my area is simply the lack of jobs.

Cheers.

The point is that disenfranchisement of a large group of people would lead them to seek action against the government. You could pick the Civil Rights Movement if you think the Revolution doesn't fit the bill for some reason.
Yep. This is an interesting article about the neurobiology behind it, getting into dopamine related reward network / neurochemical deficit theories.

It's like you've internalized bad logic or something. Just because X is a subset of Y, where X are bad programmers, and Y are people with degrees, does not come close to implying that X = Y.
Design Patterns by Gamma et al. would be an example from software architecture. It catalogs a couple of dozen patterns that recur in projects regardless of their specific domains.

Open Source Software Licensing by Rosen is another. It identifies two broad categories of open source licenses and shows how various licenses fit into each.

These two books gave me a framework for thinking about large areas that had until I read them been quite confusing. They turn a chaotic jumble of special cases into a simple framework for forming hypotheses and making predictions.

> There is a bigger chance that another contender arises within the C#/F# ecosystem as an evolution of the ML.Net work

I would rather claw my eyes out than do significant data work in .Net. C# is our language of choice at work, and it's pretty great for them, but my god is it the most verbose, confusing and convoluted language I've ever had to deal with. F# isn't too bad, but once again, lacks any serious data science community and package support. They're also not terribly fast languages, which is a pretty important factor in ML stuff.
Well, there's a fact that idlewords responded to tzs, which could be viewed as a fact about idlewords, a fact about tzs, a fact about both of them, or a fact about this overall conversation, among other things.

For copyright purposes idlewords already has copyright in his post, but I don't think that's the kind of "owning" that we're talking about here.

There's also the fact that, for example, you read what idlewords and tzs had to say to each other, and the fact that some people in the discussion upvoted their comments.

That's already a lot of different sorts of facts about this conversation, and doesn't even reflect everything that HN (or readers) knows.
"The training process behaves as a kind of one-way function. It is not possible to run a trained model backwards to reconstruct the input data; nor is it possible to “untrain” a model so that it will forget a specific part of its input."

I don't have a concrete reference, but my understanding is that it is quite likely to be possible to reconstruct outliers in the training data by inspecting the model's weights.

I've always found it interesting that the effects I get from not getting enough sleep seem extremely similar to the effects people describe from ADHD.

When I tried to look up whether ADHD could actually be a sleep disorder, I only found a lot of the reverse: Articles saying that people with ADHD often also get a bad sleep. But I certainly wondered whether the causation might be the other way around.

From what you're saying, sounds like there's evidence that it can be, at least partially?

You can call 311 to report issues like this to the city. However, I quickly realized that the crew isn't too happy about being called out for such matters. After reporting yet another dump on the sidewalk in front of our home, I saw the city crewman pull up, take his power sprayer, and blast the feces under my fence and all over my side yard - effectively rendering it no longer his problem.

Minor criticism: It would be helpful to see some code so you can tell what you're going to have to be generating to use the VM. Especially since it's not bytecode or abstract machine instructions so it's hard to know what to expect.

Otherwise, this is an incredibly cool project, which I'm definitely going to check out more in the future. Out of curiosity, how does its performance and memory usage compare versus the JVM or even LLVM (for the standalone compiler)? It's a super cool idea to have a lightweight standardized VM to program for, but I think generating bytecode or LLVM IR would be easier to design a programming language atop, at least because it'd be less likely to be a leaky abstraction like JS transpilers. So it'd be nice to know if any more technical benefits.

One technical question, (forgive me I don't know what I'm talking about) why have a bytecode at all, since no users of the languages based on Neko VM will touch Neko PL themselves (usually), why can't Neko PL act as a bytecode?

As dumb as it sounds when put like this, it actually works. When you start looking for it, marketing that exploits body image insecurities is particularly common.
Then you used too much. A little goes a loooong ways. It's quite concentrated. A few drops is all that's needed.
I've done this once ever, I was being asked to build an extremely technically difficult proof of concept so I asked for access and it was granted. I had already worked for the client previously so there was some trust, and they were thinking of open sourcing the project once it was farther along anyway. I wouldn't expect to have it happen again.

I feel like most of these problems can probably be sussed out in other ways. Ask the developers about things that typically lead to a better codebase: do they do code review, testing, QA, etc.
You can approximate an argument list using compound literals as long as 0/NULL is an acceptable default value. It's a bit noisy, but it works something like this if I remember right:

result = foo(&(struct foo_args){.arg1 = 4, .arg7 = "2"})

I think what this demonstrates is the patch upon patch nature that Javascript has taken on. Something we already knew, but with ES2015+, was kind of hidden from us. That isn't so say the new ES revisions aren't significant improvements, but just that they still rely on this old infrastructure.

You do that, and I'll continue enjoying my self driving car.
If anyone has been in a crash while they were driving with this, we won't know about it. Adding a third party, unregulated, quasi-legal modification to your car which can take over steering, brakes, and acceleration will instantly invalidate your insurance. Not to mention it being potentially illegal to use this on the road. Nobody is going to say they were in an accident while being driven by an openpilot.
Openpilot is not on par with Autopilot. There's a long list of things Autopilot can do that Openpilot will never be able to do with existing hardware.

I'm certainly not arguing that anybody else should avoid diagnosis. I don't expect this to be a popular opinion, but I tend to stay away from medical practitioners in general. The last time I broke a bone I did some googling and treated it at home; I generally feel like the time and money needed to access professional medical advice isn't worth the knowledge which is already available at my fingertips faster and cheaper. If I were to get diagnosed at some point, it would be because society won't let me buy kiddie-meth (Ritalin/Vivance) over the counter. I've tried kiddie-meth four times illicitly, and it did wonders for me, but I'm not yet ready to incorporate it into my regular drug stack. I worry about potential effects from prolonged use (the "dulling" some people describe), and it makes me prone to giving <i>all</i> of my effort to the task at hand even when that isn't actually clever. I'm not ready to burn that filament yet. If I were throwing everything I had into a startup, I could totally see getting on the stuff. I'm about a decade from that point in life by my best approximations. As a side note, I accidentally smoked a little bit of actual-meth once (the guy who packed the bowl didn't tell me there was meth in it -- long story), and the effects were very similar. I didn't realise why I had been in such a great flow-state until it was revealed to me about a week later.

Local representation is the crux of the issue here. Amazon is selling imported products straight from Chinese manufacturers. Without an American entity who has something to lose (or even go to jail) as a middle man there will never be safety.

const globalThisValue = __getValueOfThis__; // Invoke getter on "global object"
globalThisValue.globalThis = globalThisValue;

I think there is a thin line between ethical advertising and unethical psychological manipulation. I think generally, people know that when they are watching an ad, they are being tricked a bit. I think as long as it’s obvious to the user that they are being advertised to, there shouldn’t be an issue. Cambridge Analytica data was used to manipulate people by them not being aware that they were basically watching an advertisement. Except in this case, the ad was a real time political movie in the same theatre as someone else but both people somehow came out watching a different version of the movie because of filtered and targeted manipulative ads. They did not know that the posts they were seeing on social media were supposed to be manipulative ads.
I'm impressed that when Dr. Bronner decided to take his teachings to the soapbox, he literally printed them on boxes of soap.

If you plot cost vs usage on a graph, you’ll find the Lambda cost line starting at zero with a certain slope, and your AWS line starting at much higher than zero but with a slightly lower slope.

The lines will always intersect at some point, but depending on your load the intersection point will often be too far away to care. The costs of devops and maintenance and scaling will also drive the AWS line higher and the intersection point further away.

The soviet success is a good example, but I don't think it supports your point: the soviets where very successful at training athletes to become gold medalists but they were also really successful at training mathematicians and physicists, even after losing almost all the educated class during the revolution and the following war (a majority a them were “White” Russians who fled the country).

You could argue that they were more successful at training athletes than scientists, because they have more gold medals than Nobel prize. But I don't think it really makes sense to compare those figures: soviets were doping there athletes a lot, and many of these gold medals comes from what I would call “mere performance sport” (like Athletics or Weightlifting), and they were competing with the West on the prestige given by gold medal, while the Nobel prize weren't a goal in itself. They were the first to reach space thought ;).

Also, you shouldn't dismiss the existence of an American “prodigy manufacture”: the American school and university system was extremely successful during the second third of the century and that's where most the American scientific success comes from, and the American sport system has also been excellent for a while.
Both accidents could have been avoided if the pilots knew about the changes in handling and in MCAS and how to handle it.

Any marketing professional worth his salt employs the full force of his persuasive skill against his own customers/employers. A marketing firm does not merely try to convince you to buy coca-cola. They also try to convince The Coca-Cola Company that they are effective at convincing you to buy Coca-Cola.

The question anybody looking to hire an advertising firm should ask themselves is whether skill at the later implies skill at the former. It could be the case that CA is good at persuading political campaigns, but bad at persuading voters. One reason to believe there might be a discrepancy here is because the persuasion tech used by CA in both cases is likely totally different. Which is to say, CA likely did not employ their facebook profiling tech against political campaigns to persuade those campaigns to buy their services. Rather, they probably used more traditional sales tactics (perhaps as simple as lying about the efficacy of their facebook profiling tech.)
