Regarding orientation, are you saying they printed half the book over the first half, but at right angles over the top? Ie you see different data from different orientations?

Ps I've seen old (18th century?) letters where they wrote at 0, 90 and 45 degrees to get more on one page. Postage was charged by the page so it made sense. Newspaper also used to be taxed by the page (in the UK at least) so you had origami like folding of one sheet of paper into a newspaper, not aware of them 'double printing' in this way though. I assume that's why 'broadsheets' were so massive up until relatively recently.
This is one of the few science-fiction books that I still think back on. Good, fun story and hard scifi.
Bootstrap: The Good, the Bad and the ‘It Depends’
I have recently seen a hard uptick of social "science" papers with a N=1, where said N is the author describing their personal experience, i.e. biased and highly subjective anecdotes. Mind you, otherwise these papers look very "sciency", with tons of citations and footnotes sprinkled in, and quite often with grant disclosures at the end.

At least, this is my N=1 experience ;)

Seems a bit of a waste to dedicate an entire 360TB disc to a single text document like a bible, which is probably just a few KBs... /s

More seriously, they don't talk about reading capabilities (retrieval speed etc). And what if it gets scratched? What is the error tolerance? At that density, a single speck of dust could have dramatic implications...

I hope this reaches industrial viability, because we desperately need a digital format that can approximate the lifespan of simple paper. At the moment we are chained to a maintenance nightmare of periodic hops between formats, with deadly consequences any time we miss a single jump.

It contradicts your statement: "it's not as simple as having someone at Hospital X download a pretrained model in Tensorflow and train its last few layers on some CT scans"
Because in this case it was as easy as taking a model from a totally different modality and retraining the first (in this case) few layers to accommodate the new device. Furthermore the original training used 15k scans and the retraining only required 152 scans. This is totally reasonable and clear evidence of transfer and generalization. Moreover, even human operators require retraining on new devices!

What about classical planning, SAT solvers, automated theorem proving, game-playing agents and classical search? Could you please explain how one or more of those are "applied computational statistics"?

Further- I don't understand the comment about "agency". Could you clarify? Why is "agency" required for a technique or an algorithm to be considered an AI technique?

No environmental impact?! Its straining the top 3 meters of the ocean. Almost the entire mass of sea life is in the top 1 meter of ocean. This seems to be in the category of "preserving the happy human-appreciated creatures and ignoring everything else". Like saving whales or chimps, but not caring about insects, worms, frogs etc. which are the bulk of the ecosystem.

And anybody got a citation for the harm done by this 'garbage patch'? Not just documentation of its existence. What effect, beyond the positive one of providing anchor points for algae etc in the life-rich upper meter.
Math absolutely makes testable explanations and predictions about a universe. Nowhere does it say it needs to be the universe we inhabit.

You start with a set of axioms. Then you derive and prove theories that are explanations and predictions made by those axioms.

> Rust … has no garbage collection

What's your reasoning behind preferring GC to Rust's automatic memory management?
Python uses arbitrary-precision integers by default, unless you use Numpy, in which case you end up with the same issue. It also uses machine floats by default, which can give similar errors (so one could say "Python doesn't do real arithmetic correctly by default", though of course neither does anyone else).

So it's not that your point isn't valid, but it can't be extrapolated to general safety or high-level-ness; this is a really specific feature to rest your decision on. Arguably Julia has an advantage here because you can easily check correctness of an algorithm using arbitrary precision types and then use machine types in production, which is pretty handy.
I have to say, I'm actually a little muddied on what revolut is. They claim to be a current account, except they're not fscs protected, but they do have some interesting parallels and additions to a current account.

This is true but it is also rewriting the past.

The WTO was designed to encourage free trade. The problem with free trade is that countries with developed industries will crash those that don't have developed industries. Basically, there is little incentive to join if you are still developing since it will kill your local industry.

What the WTO did is a compromise. Countries that are developing get special exceptions that expire once the country reaches certain milestones. The US was one of the founding members that helped to write these rules and the rules were designed to largely help US companies.

The exceptions allow developing countries to put rules in place to help local industry. From what I can tell China looks like it will move from a "developing" country into a "developed" country sometime in the next 5 to 10 years (based on rules that the US made when it helped setup the WTO) but now it thinks that it should happen sooner.

If they started the trade war by following rules that the US helped to write then ... I don't know what I think about that ...

It's a combination of reasons present to different degrees depending on the nation in question. These include:

The political fallout of allowing these industries to fail (coal production and power generation make up a large portion of economic activity in many rural regions, with workers in these industries having little transferable skills.)

Strong protectionist incentives given that coal power is relatively cheap and can enable lower costs in energy intensive industries such as steel manufacturing.

Security of supply - having some domestic capacity is always preferable to being totally reliant on imports.

Opportunity cost - emissions tariffs have generally been on the increase so it makes sense to pollute whilst it's still relatively cheap.

The "why" and "how" are more complex. The figures include lending as well as direct subsidy. Both China and India have been building at a high rate.

> With regard to domestic public finance identified, India provided the highest amount of support identified by far, at US$10.6 billion per year (2016–2017 average). However, it must be noted that these findings are not directly comparable between countries; one reason behind such high numbers in India is that its banking system is dominated by government-owned banks which were nationalised in the 1960s and 1980s. These banks, despite being majority government-owned, operate predominantly as commercial entities rather than as banks driven by government policy

> In its National Electricity Plan, India still foresees new capacity additions for coal – 45.9 GW from 2017–2027 – but this is dwarfed by planned additions for renewable energy, with 275 GW targeted by 2027 (CEA, 2018)

How do we get sold into buying this stuff? Instagram? Inadvertent product placement on HN?

Seems that the product is cheaper than take out Starbucks, so it is a deal. But is it?

I drink tea (I am British) and my preference is for the cheap stuff. So that means the 40 Fair Trade bags for 50p from one store or 80 non-Fair-Trade bags for 58p ($1) from the other store. No milk, no sugar and certainly no Dipotassium Phosphate needed.

$4.99 for 15 cups? That is 33 cents per go. I am sure I could get hooked to it. To cost myself $2.50 a day or approximately $17 dollars a week more than my current beverage costs (ignoring electricity). That is getting on for $900 a year for getting Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate and the like into my arteries!

But, the Hill Brothers delicacy is still a bargain compared to one Starbucks treat a day.

There are many cities that get about as cold as Dallas where historically people haven't heated their buildings beyond the incidental heat you get from living and cooking, but that does require you to be ok with your house getting pretty chilly occasionally.

Still, as long as your house is reasonably well insulated heating bills in Dallas are very low and only a few months per year, right?

>can we further improve the practical performance of general computation by innovation alone?

we can improve the performance of average programs by a factor of ~100x simply by more careful software engineering. Don't use python or javascript, optimize code for cpu cache hits, use more cores effectively, etc.

However games, maybe only 2x if anything.
In 1949, some years after the invention of neural networks, Norbert Weiner, one of the leading minds of the time, was convinced that AI (AGI as you may call it) or a full understanding of the brain is no more than five years away. Alan Turing thought Weiner was delusional, and that it may take as much as fifty years. Seventy years later, we are nowhere near insect-level intelligence.

I don't see any fundamental barrier preventing us from achieving AI, but if someone from the future came to me and said that AI will be achieved in 2130, I would find that quite reasonable. If they said it will be achieved in 2030 or 2230, I would find those equally reasonable. Our current scientific understanding is that we have no idea how far we are from AI, we don't know what the challenges are, and we don't even know what intelligence is. We certainly have no idea whether the approach we are now taking (statistical clustering, AKA deep learning) is a path that leads to AI or not.

In the sixties, the leading minds of that time were also working hard on the problem and did not find it any further away from us as we do today. That some people are optimistic is irrelevant. The fact is that we just have no idea.
They were only off by a couple orders of magnitude.. 10 vs 1000000000 is easy to confuse.

Ask HN: Do you subvocalize when you read?
If you do, does that mean there's a cap on how quickly you can read?

If you don't, what do you do instead? And how do you retain information? What (if anything) do you think is left out?

Are some people able to do both, read while subvocalizing and at other times while not? If so, what are the contexts in which they do each?

I believe HDDs slowly lose stored data if you don't rewrite it periodically? I remember reading some data recovery forum a few years back with the local experts saying something about 10 years of reliable data storage for an HDD lying on a shelf. After that, all bets are off.
Yeah, actual museum-grade archival is so much more than just having an aging-resistant media. You also need to be able to read and decode it many years into the future, which is really tricky to guarantee - you can't assume the future generations will know how to make a reading device and remember your formats/encodings. So it's a bit like unzip.zip problem.

A friend of mine owned an Audi from 2003 that had a solar-covered sun roof feeding into the AC. On sunny days it would at least exchange enough air while parking so turning on the AC for small trips was not necessary. Just brilliant!
That depends on what population selection data you choose to consider/admit.

As an example, suppose a cell phone appears at the local supermarket/grocery store every weekday from 9 AM to 5 PM. If you conclude that phone is owned by an extremely avid supermarket shopper rather than a store manager, you're ignoring the persistence over time dimension.

If you claim that it's more likely a cashier rather than a store manager (because there are more cashiers than managers), you're on much firmer ground than if you claim it's more likely a shopper than a store manager just because there are wildly more shoppers than managers.
Sure, the pilots did the wrong thing.

But they weren't trained to do the right thing. It is normal to get flustered in a stressful situation, the answer is to prepare for it.

If Boeing doesn't want pilots to make the same mistake it should insist that they get trained. My suspicion is that return-to-flight for the MAX is being delayed by Boeing trying to avoid a simulator training requirement for the MAX because the whole point of the MAX was that pilots did not need to be retrained.
When they say "Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy" as if it were an undisputed fact, and without any argument at all, it really shows how they're incapable of considering an alternative worldview.

Possibly unpopular opinion, but IMO to learn a synth it’s best to start with a simple physical subtractive monosynth.

Software synths are often built to model popular hardware instruments in both sound and interface. So learning the basic concepts on a “real” subtractive synth builds a foundation to learn more.

Plus a physical synth is far less distracting than a multitasking device. I find it much easier to create, experiment and learn when a screen is not involved.
so how do you know that the crystalline structure of some rocks aren't encoding some information?

Alternatively, information encoded in rocks could've been encrypted. And encrypted information should be indistinguishable from random noise.
Those seedy furniture stores that have "going out of business" sales that seem to last for years, are often running the same scam. Grocery also stores do this, with their shoppers cards discounts.

Consumers are the other half of the problem though. At least some of the scummy tactics are psycological hacks to get around real irrational behaviors that actually work against both the consumer and the business. The rest are dark patterns meant to manipulate and coerce that work strictly for the business, consumers be damned. I'm not sure where the line is.

Side note: Even to this day, I still catch myself sometimes thinking/saying the cost of something is $X rather than $X+1, when the listing price of something is $X.99, and I curse myself for the foolishness :P
Suppose I have a million dollars. Could I make a fab [1] that can manufacture a Intel 286 processor (with feature size roughly 1.5 micrometer) or equivalent? If not, what year of semiconductor manufacturing technology could I replicate?

Actually I prefer callbacks over promises, but it can sometimes be nice to have async/await aka. pseudo-treads / co-routines or "fibers". I belive it's much easier to learn about first class functions, then to learn the concept of Monads, and Promises was rushed into the JavaScript language, while it would have been better to wait for userland libraries to settle on a standard before carving it in stone.
