I agree. I'm not super impressed with the ability of human Starcraft players to detect and parse the meaning of health bars. That's not really done by the same part of the human brain that I would consider to be "good at playing Starcraft." I'd be fine if the AI had a clean API to tell it the units that are currently on screen, perhaps with some limit on the speed at which the AI can iterate through everything (e.g. it should definitely require a "click" to check an enemy unit's upgrades).

I do agree that detecting cloaked (or burrowed) units is a bit of an interesting case, since a simple API like I mentioned would make it trivial for the AI to detect these units. Perhaps you could do some sort of probabilistic system, or some sort of "attention" system where the AI has to choose where on the game screen to spend its limited attention, and more attention in an area around a cloaked units would increase the probability of the AI "detecting" the cloaked unit. That probably comes close to matching how humans detect cloaked units, e.g. when you're deliberately looking for an observer around your army you have an almost 100% chance of finding it if it's there.
Also innovation.
> Well then why not limit it to cases where there's no proof?

Because abandonment of real property is a real phenomenon with externalized costs, so resolving disputed against an owner that has effectively abandoned real property was itself viewed as desirable. The time and openness of possession requirements mean that, in practice, adverse possession doesn't adversely impact anyone who hasn't effectively abandoned property.
Specifically, it's a "tu quoque" argument ("you also").

Still, I don't think the purpose was to discredit the argument, as such - just to point out the hypocrisy.
I tried this with a transparent case but the result was kinda meh, made the macbook feel weird due to the way the case wraps around the screen to clip
Where did you see that claim? I see a different claim on their website:

"""
How will the reserve be invested? Users of Libra do not receive a return from the reserve. The reserve will be invested in low-risk assets that will yield interest over time. The revenue from this interest will first go to support the operating expenses of the association — to fund investments in the growth and development of the ecosystem, grants to nonprofit and multilateral organizations, engineering research, etc. Once that is covered, part of the remaining returns will go to pay dividends to early investors in the Libra Investment Token for their initial contributions. Because the assets in the reserve are low risk and low yield, returns for early investors will only materialize if the network is successful and the reserve grows substantially in size.

The same thing that gets them to answer email on Saturday or Sunday? Maybe they want to work. Maybe they are avoiding their family. Maybe they took some time off on Wednesday and felt the need to make up for it.

Yep. I used to fuel planes, international flights have INTL EXEMPT on the fuel slip.
Profitability? Put that idea away for a moment. We need to look at this through other lenses as well. Our very lives on Earth depend on our ability to remove greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. In that light, profitability is a rather weak criterion by which to judge projects like this.
Puzz­ling on a quan­tum chess­board
Absolutely. On reading this I thought “no wonder he’s exhausted, if that were how my mind worked I’d be exhausted too.” It’s kind of startling that someone would be willing to not just write but publish this (and presumably be proud of it?). I’d be terribly embarrassed if it were me thinking, let alone writing, this stuff.
Yes, the PC (or whatever) hands off control of the entire system to the VideoBIOS which must do its thing and then pass control back.
The idea is to keep the stickers when you have to change laptops or something, not keep your laptop clean when removing them
The basic idea of “experimentation is good” holds for bike lanes as well — before making a permanent strategy decision for an entire city they could try painting bike lanes in a neighborhood or for one commute where people are willing to try biking. When it works out, it’s easier to convince car people that they’re better off when there are fewer cars on the road even if the road is smaller.

Now you are really making things up as you go. 20lbs triples the weight of most bikes? That implies most bikes only weigh ~7lbs. You realise that is completely absurd, and would likely be close to a world record holder for lightest production bike?

Going faster than other riders is absolutely not the point of pedal assist. Most of them basically can’t thanks to the 20mph cut out. Of course many will find they can sustain a higher average speed below 20, but the point is travelling much the same kinds of speeds with much less effort.

Of course rider weight matters. One is rarely hit by a riderless bicycle. Rider weight is especially relevant in your claim that the brakes are worse too - whether the mass is in the rider or the bike frame is going to be largely inconsequential to stopping distances - the brakes still have to stop the combined weight of rider plus bike. Hence relevance of the small additional mass of small motor plus battery being dwarfed by variances in rider weight on normal bikes.
Humanoid Robots Teach Coping Skills to Children with Autism
Eeesh. I'm honestly worried about the mental health of the author. It could just be hyperbole intended unseriously, but most of the article also tracks as clinical anxiety masquerading as humor.

Just change your interpretation of 0 for a return value. It does not mean success, it mean there was no error. Let's not confuse error codes (enums) for booleans because they arent.
So, I actually missed a fairly important point above that may relate to your case. While my company (that I've worked at for 18yrs) has never bought or funded a project I requested a waiver for, in the past year they have begun funding development of a directly work-related side project via Internal R&D. This is a concept I've worked on here and there since undergrad. While I don't have a profit share in place, and this project is extremely high risk-high reward, I am excstatic to work on this under my current salary.

It's an amazing feeling to watch people get passionate about an idea you created, but the reward to you can still be significant in terms of the visibility/credit you'll get from leadership, which could well translate into salary and position increase. Since adoption, I've had the ear and consult of our talented leadership team, who have given me access to their powerful professional networks to boost support for the project.

Again, put yourself in their shoes. If you were paying somebody a salary, and they brought you an idea that they cultivated on their own time and with their own resources, would you not view them as one of the most valuable member of your staff, in awe that someone has that much pride in the mission of the company to go that far above and beyond the call of duty, and do everything in your power to not only pump the idea up, but also make sure the person is comfortable and stays with the company rather than leaving to empower a competitor.

Business is a very personal thing. Have confidence in yourself and what you bring to the table, find great people to work with, keep pushing, and good things will happen.

This is not your last great idea.

Has anyone ever tried this with ThinkPads, with the rubberized matte coating?

I was looking at the skins sold on eBay, and wondering whether they'd mar the coating. The old coatings hold up very nicely for over a decade, and I don't want the skin to react with the coating, nor to later leave behind an adhesive that can't be removed without ruining the coating.

I'm also wondering whether the skins could be transplanted, like if one laptop breaks in a hard-to-repair way, so you move your SSD and skin full of decals to the replacement laptop.

(I have an unapplied backlog of nerdy decals, to make the perfect social nerd cafe laptop out of a spare Coreboot X200. So long as being social doesn't mar the coating, because priorities.)

Those tickets are all paid through the services you are mentioning though. The health insurance, the phone network and Mubi don't get those tickets for free. You do pay a fraction of the tickets through those subscriptions, and a lot of people are paying this fraction too but whithout taking advantage of those tickets, so actualy spending money on movie theatre tickets not even knowing it :)

People respond differently to a change they expect will be temporary vs a permanent change. You wouldn’t buy a bike to use a temporary lane, for example.
I think it's an unpopular opinion because there's no evidence that states will "over-do" any climate action. So far, climate action is almost entirely theoretical. States are doing effectively nothing to counter climate change. One might even argue they're doing less than nothing, by continuing to allow externalizing costs of fossil fuels, animal agriculture, etc.

It seems implausible that there would be too much action on climate change, because there is currently effectively none. Maybe your theory will seem more believable if any major climate action takes place. But, given the costs and current inertia in the other direction, I don't think it is a realistic problem to worry about today.

I was able to still get through and get it.
your point seems to be directed at how human discussions happen generally and how we must necessarily abstract away details to even have those discussions at all.

but we sometimes collectively need to grind through the ruts a number of times before finding a good solution, especially if the solution involves a variable abstracted away by the model.

so why specifically does your noted pitfall need to be avoided? and what alternatives can you offer?

but more to the point, what's the model of car-centric cities you'd advocate?
I've got a smaller account(33k) and have noticed similar issues lately. It makes no sense as to why visibility fluctuates when my behavior hasn't changed. I have a feeling it's Instagram trying to push us to use their ad system.
It would be great if Stripe would offer an RSS feed for status updates in addition to twitter posts. A lot of other services have one and it's very convenient to subscribe to in Slack for updates. At my current company, for example, we have a #third-party-outages channel which we have all available third party services (GitHub, NPM, CircleCI, Slack [yes, it's meta], HackerOne, etc.) status page RSS feed notify in case of an outage.
Which safety line? :)
> Just don't implement AMP. ... you can still get excellent results without it; it's a very small boost.

What evidence do you have that it's only a small boost? That may be the case for very specific searches. But if you search anything where there is a lot of competition between publishers (coverage of major news stories, product reviews, etc), Google serves almost exclusively AMP results, with the exception of the odd result from Wikipedia or Twitter. Failing to implement AMP would be suicide for many publishers.
It happened to me once that I chained my bike to a stairway railing, certainly not moveable. When I returned, my bike was gone... actually the railing was gone. It was about to be replaced, so the construction workers had cut away the railing. They had placed my bike carefully a few meters away, though it wasn't tied to anything any more, as the railing was removed :).
ASK HN : Suggestions for ML/DL projects to solve business problems
Can someone give me some suggestions for projects that use machine learning/deep learning to solve business problems?

Background: I am a student in Operations Research (aka optimization) and I am learning ML/DL on my own, I will graduate next year. My idea is to convince recruiters of my abilities by building a small portfolio with 2 or 3 projects that solve real-world business problems. I will deploy the models by making web/mobile apps.
> I think it's safe to say that there were a lot more original movies a few decades ago

This probably depends on your definition of original. Franchises dominates today, but lots of older movies are based on books or plays or are remakes of even older movies.
How good of a deal hunting and gathering were depends on the abundance of resources. Hunter-gatherers in abundant areas lived happy lives and resisted civilization (eg the Comanche) if not outright conquering it so they would leave their hunting grounds alone (eg the Mongols). Hunter-gatherers who faced scarcity adopted agriculture as a means of survival and lived in fear of hunter-gatherers for centuries.
Of all the "this just makes macOS work" guides I've seen this is by far the best. Especially how they get the vega m working; impressive.
The current headline seems to imply more than what's actually happening. What's happening is when google hears "ok google" the recording is saved and may be manually reviewed for ML training purposes.

The problem is hearing "ok google" is not reliable and it sometimes captures normal conversations.

I do think it's an ethics issue that people may not be told clearly when buying these products that these recordings may leave their homes and can be heard by people (though only up to a minute and without any clear PII unless someone says something identifiable).
Well, I guess I need to explicitly say that having the Zoom client asking something like:

"www.visited-site.com" wants to start a meeting with you. Do you want to join?

is (uncommon?) common sense that the Zoom app should follow.

It might be easier "tomorrow", something like universal AI, where you plug your game objects with some kind API, provide some hardware to simulate games and it learns automatically. Something like Google does now, but more universal and easier to use. Might be a good idea for startup :)
Imagine 20 years from now you decide to run for political office. Do you want someone "ethically" going through all your old recorded conversations looking for statements that will be politically incorrect 20 years from now?

Some people don't exist to work and want to engage with their own life. We shouldn't build a system that forces everyone into a "work-first" way of life, and then use a specific group that's fine with it as a rationalization.
Despite the fact that there are lots of talented and passionate teachers, I think it's fairly easy to describe the current American public school system as dystopian. Kids spend all day mostly just rote learning, barely allowed to use their own initiative, moving at a pace that is, in a class of 30 children, statistically probably someone else's, and not allowed to socialize except during very prescribed times. I'm exaggerating for effect, of course, but all the social interaction I remember from school was time that was smuggled, it was not a system designed for social interaction.

I agree that you can't replace relationships with computers, but I'm not sure public school is such a fertile ground for great relationships, at least not more than any number of plausible alternative systems.
Ask HN: How to Change Industries?
I left my job as a systems programmer at a large defense contractor back in February. After two years, I knew it wasn't where I wanted to be, and an ongoing merger squeezing budgets and creating a toxic environment forced my hand.

Approaching the six month mark, I feel down about my prospects. I have found plenty of interviews, but the only offers come from big contractors like I am trying to escape.

I recently got several onsite interviews[0] with startups in the Bay Area and elsewhere. Frustratingly, even when companies thought I was technically excellent and a good cultural fit, they rejected in favor of candidates with closer matching professional experience.

How can I find work in a new industry?

The problem here is that life-threatening machines aren't air-gapped.
A great idea. Bike parking spaces can be set up without going through any construction work so there is no big planning or paperwork required. If it is deciced to make that a permanent installation, construction can be done then.
A little bit off topic and a bit pessimistic, but I have just started a new company and I am surprised how high the rates are for services related to job postings/cofounders. Linkedin, angellist etc. If you don't watch out you can easily spend 50k on zero result. Unfortunately not all startups are backed by 5m. Wonder how much this service costs.
> Do they know it was you, specifically?

Maybe not with today's technology, but in the future, they will still have the recording and will have the technology.

It's the same thing with encryption. It's safe today, but in the future it'll be decodeable, and they'll still have the encrypted copies to work on.
Shows how cool I am ;) Thanks!

That essay is an opinion piece, not an article, and ironically for you the office surveillance was almost certainly installed by NYT corporate (or its designee), so the hypocrisy you raise cannot even exist according to the terms you provide unless you remove the separation between corp and editorial.
LuaJIT has great performance through the C FFI. It’s more that traditional JITs can’t optimize across FFI boundaries. Hopefully Chris will correct me if I’m full of shit.

There are other approaches which can work too, like compiling C to LLVM IR using Clang so a function can be inlined by an LLVM based JIT at runtime.

But in reality, profit makes things happen. So it's good to know about it.
Dutchman living in NYC here. Manhattan seems perfect for cycling: small distances, wide roads (lots of space for bike lanes), not very hilly. Sometimes it rains but definitely not more often then the Netherlands. That they choose to fill all the streets with big Suburbans bewilders me. Especially when the only alternative is the subway.
I've been doing this for years with easy-to-acquire clear protective films that are specifically cut for laptops.
The advice isn't wrong, but you did misunderstand it. The CORS header will definitively block the request to an AJAX REST API from going through, because it will be a POST request with an `application/json` Content-Type, which will trigger a preflight request.

You're assuming the API will remain identical, just with new headers. I didn't advise this, what they have now is not a semantically RESTful API.

What they have now is a mess made to fit within their image-hack's constraints, there's no sensible reason to keep the same GET pattern without that.
I don’t see an RSS feed option there?

Starcraft2 definitely needs long term planning. It may not look like that to an outsider because a good caster decomposes that into actions, consequences and reactions. But to be able to play competitively you need a long term plan.

The momentary triggers you mention are the distilled knowledge of long term planning and experience. A player executing a baneling rush is a long term plan. Then that player scouting the opposing terran player building a bunker and two barracks to defend can make him to decide to double expand instead of going forward with his baneling attack. This may seem re-active but in truth those decisions depend on long term planning. Pro players can make this long term planning calculations quite fast, the decisions may even appear re-active, however they are based on the long term calculation of the most probable path to victory.
There's something almost cute about hauling out an argument this tired on a site for people who like to consider themselves on the cutting edge.
