You've got a good understanding, but there are a few other pieces:

- An EU citizen can ask to be expunged (aka "right to be forgotten") from your system, and you must delete all records you have on the person. It can't be anonymized or soft deleted - it must be entirely scrubbed of PII or destroyed.

- An EU citizen can invoke "data export" and ask for any and all information you maintain on them. Anything you store that is foreign keyed to them is fair game. You must provide it all in a format they can download and read. JSON dumps of all the records is probably sufficient.

IANAL, and I'm pretty sure I haven't covered everything. It's a pretty broad law.

Pretty damn cool, but I can't see this giving you much in way of anonymity. Yet, should be all fine for getting through to region-locked DRM content.
They had an assembler where one person wrote kernels that were faster than cublas in a lot of cases. Afaik, nobody ever released anything else with that assembler, and Nvidia caught up to that performance quickly. In talking with the cublas devs, it seemed more that maxas kernels were highly tuned for specific sizes, whereas cublas/cudnn had to be more general.

Nowadays it's really a moot point with Nvidia's Cutlass being open source.

One of the best books I've read on the subject is https://www.pbrt.org/ (which the article also mentions).

It manages to tackle both the math and the gritty details of implementing the math. Blew me away the first time I read it.

No. The whole paragraph shows what most people would deem a life of sacrifice, good decision making, and positive societal influence which juxtaposed against the treatment and risk of pain is a strong example of a system that is broken.
I'm honestly surprised to hear that about Sydney because the cost of housing in Sydney is insane. Or is it just the case that salaries in Bristol are horrible?

So if I were looking at how to maximize my take home income and retire in the shortest amount of time and I was just picking a place on the globe to do this, I'd pick Seattle, hands down.
This is plagiarism. You stole code form https://github.com/rsennrich/subword-nmt/blob/master/subword... and don't even bother to change method names.

>I'm not sure we are capable of building a society by internalizing a 'raw' version of our history.

Probably because a ‘raw’ version doesn’t make much sense.. its like looking at a log file. It’s dense. Far too dense to be worth communicating in that format.

So instead you pick out key facts and build out a narrative of events, usually with something in mind (a moral, a bug, etc).

The bias and myth that people complain about is an inevitable result of this process.. it’s simply a complaint that one set of facts, and resulting narrative, was chosen, but this second set of facts, and narrative should have been chosen instead. Of course, sets C, D and E also exist, but they’re not being argued for.
HN exists to gratify curiosity. People come here to get away from grandiose battles and shrill rhetoric. It's only a small minority of the community who want to use it for such things. The rest find it tedious because it's all so predictable—in fact, it gets more predictable as it gets hotter, and above a certain temperature all such comments are the same.
You already have that; it's more formally called IEEE 754 single precision. Requires double the memory bandwidth (bad) for extra precision that back propagation would have corrected for anyways.
Did you read the parent comment? The revisionism is that the people of Carthage somehow thought their destiny was to "destroy or be destroyed by the Aeneans (Romans)". It's projecting Rome's mission on their enemy.

Analogy: Clearly the Iranians/Chinese/North Koreans feel the same way about you, fellow Americans! Destroy or be destroyed is what we hear from them!
I modified the code from the paper “Neural Machine Translation of Rare Words with Subword Units” and used it as a concrete example of how byte pair encoding is working for real dataset.

It looks more like an incomplete/lazy citation than deliberate theft.
I have a ~77 year old friend who was recently telling me about going to Buckminster Fuller's lectures at his engineering university, circa 1968. He quoted Mr. Fuller as saying something like, "entropy takes things apart, life puts them back together."

The quote he referenced was probably something like this one:

“The physical is inherently entropic, giving off energy in ever more disorderly ways. The metaphysical is antientropic, methodically marshalling energy. Life is antientropic. It is spontaneously inquisitive. It sorts out and endeavors to understand” - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1222650-the-physical-is-inh...

Many people are so sure of their belief in entropy (aka "thermodynamics"). I like the idea that there's anti-entropy too.
Cool, I actually wrote that eye tracking thing back when I was in high school myself. It's cool that people still find it useful, it's definitely not up to my current quality standards, but I remember scouring the internet for something like it back then and not finding anything so I guess nobody else has put something better online since.
I actually followed the link and was entertained. +1 would read again.

Yah PBRT was my most important resource for completing this project, way more important than anything I learned in course lectures.

I read it cover to cover before doing much, but then made sure I wrote things how I wanted without referencing the book except for a few bits of formula-heavy code I mention in the credits.

Definitely the best technical book I've ever read.
The problem with IP was that it was all so hush-hush that there was no real "thing" i could get my hands on to understand it. I got that it was some form of a DSL or maybe a bunch of inter-linked DSLs connected together where you drew your specific requirement like a "Mindmap". But this is too high-level to get any idea of the implementation and usage. It could also be that this was all "much ado about nothing" in that the idea was well-known but marketing put a spin on the presentation to its own detriment.
>The exemplary outcome probabilities 𝑃𝑖𝑗=|⟨𝑏𝑖𝑏𝑗|𝜓̃ 0⟩|2 and 𝑃𝑖𝑗𝑘=|⟨𝑏𝑖𝑏𝑗𝑏𝑘|𝜓̃ 0⟩|2, 𝑖,𝑗,𝑘=0,1 obtained in a real experiment for the 2- and 3-qubit models are shown on the Fig. 3E. One can see that the probability for observing the correct final state |0…0⟩ is less than 100% and for 2- and 3-qubit experiment are given by 85.3±0.4% and 49.1±0.6% correspondingly.

Does this mean that the 3 qubit model is predicted to only get the correct result for less than half the times it is asked?
Are the fires typically peat fires or forest fires? Because right now they are having the former.
While I agree this can be true in general, this is not often the case.

We do mandatory code reviews in our company, and at least a couple of times, I have received a comment which made me go "whoah, this is much better than my idea!", followed by a new version which is 10x shorter and way more reliable.

Being the author of the code in question, I can tell you with full authority that sometimes:

(1) no, I had no thoughts of fixing the code, I did not know it was non-optimal.

(2) no, I had no good reason for not getting around to fixing it. I had no special requirements that would justify my decision.

(3) yes, I just did not think about it. It is like searching for something for a long time and then suddenly finding it in the obvious location -- except this time, I did not find the obvious solution, so I almost ended up committing this huge code monstrosity.
That's surprising, I wouldn't guess it is something they would do so easily, especially considering Intel processors isn't something you generally use to train NNs.

But I'd be rather glad if they implemented unums already.
Yes, in the sense that it creates actual competition, and will presumably mean that datacenter cards for ML will lose Nvidia's $5-10k markup.

I think it's good to have a place on the internet that's dedicated to intellectual curiosity. Don't you? If that ends up not being possible because it burns with political flames, to me that would be part of ruining the world. (A small part. I don't think HN is important in the grand scheme of things.) There are other places to fight grand battles—most other places, in fact.

HN isn't particularly correlated with big tech. It's a place for people to congregate and share and talk about what they find interesting.
Those all undergo change as well. In context of the parent, any change whatsoever results in a new object. Which was the point of Heraclitus not being able to step in the same river twice. It's all flux.

That's what motivated Plato and Kant to come up with their philosophical responses to the flux. One with eternal forms and the other with categories of thought.
At Agincourt the prisoners that were executed were all noblemen or landed knights. The custom was for these prisoners to be taken, because they could be ransomed back to their wealthy families. It was a shocking event because it broke the conventions of the times.

It would have been very unlikely that common men would have ever been taken prisoner. They'd have just been slaughtered on the battlefield, if they did not run away.

By the time Rome destroyed Carthage, it surely did not have to. Carthage had already been defeated more than 50 years previously, and had been reduced to little more than a Roman vassal state. The destruction of Carthage has to be one of the greatest acts of unnecessary spite in history.

As someone who's read a lot of work on the philosophy of quantum mechanics, I want to say that this piece is VERY well written. (And I wasn't the person who posted it to HN.)
Hello, author here.

It's a surprisingly modern-ish system, in many ways, and surprisingly weird in lots of other ways. One thing which really surprised me was a complete lack of pointer support: I managed to bodge the look-up-table instruction (which evaluates its argument and adds the result to the next instruction to be executed) to do pointer dereferences instead (INDEX ptr; TC 0). And, luckily, I found a way to make the assembler emit an address as a literal value, which it really didn't want to do.

It's a shame the address space is so small (only 12 bits!) or you could totally port real software to this...
Commercial activity is usually banned as well. Interpretation of this varies by jurisdiction but is often thought to include advertisements in web pages.
The FBI occasionally seizes websites, it's really a government action rather than a (private) legal action:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/07/us/politics/backpage-pros...
https://kotaku.com/fbi-seizes-15-ddos-for-hire-websites-1831...

Seizures are not as bad as the ISP-level blocks like the UK or Australia or China's firewall, but at this point a lot of semi-legitimate sites have learned to avoid US-based domain registrars or TLDs because the US will take them quite easily. For example sci-hub's .org got yanked after a court order.

I'd argue Airbnb is quite a unique case to look as a case for conversion. Mainly because they have such unique, exclusive and wide selection that there is high demand for (people want to stay somewhere nice when they travel) and a strong brand created around it.

A lot of the people coming to the site have high intent to book something right at that moment and especially with Airbnb. Spending a lot of time to find the right option for them, and once they find something they are willing to do a lot (filling that information etc) since it's what they want and it's exciting to them.

It's quite different for most saas startups where the demand is often less imminent or not as strong.

Disclaimer: I used to work at Airbnb.
I don't think its quite fair to label this a personal attack, and I don't agree with it getting flagged.

Your link also states "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation"

Both their parent and GP were talking about reading conflicting things. Reading around to get a better sense of the truth of the matter would seem, reasonable.

Of course a less pithy comment, where the meaning was clear would be best of all.
I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding things. When I've worked on systems like the one EliRivers is describing, you don't have a choice between hacking something together in X time or doing it correctly in 20X time. You have a choice between doing it in 20X time and not doing it at all. If it's a part of the system you haven't touched before, it simply isn't possible to make changes without taking the time to understand what it's currently doing first.

The only part of the process that's optional and could theoretically be skipped is turning your notes into documentation consumable by others, but that's a pretty small portion of the time spent.
As someone who also often engages in contrarian speculation and is often wrong about it, my advice to you is to thank the person with the correct perspective for sharing it. If they are sufficiently civilized, they will thank you for adding to the discussion even though it was wrong.

For your purposes, it would be more useful to recognize when you're doing this kind of probably-wrong analysis and make the relevant qualifying announcements in your post. It's useful to do, it's even more useful when done in a self-aware fashion.

Particularly, it makes it easier for the person with the correct understanding to share it without feeling like they're pissing into the wind. My new favorite phrase is, "correct me if I'm wrong here, but..."
Yes, any big bank with a lot of branches absolutely charges you. It's very easy to get deals like online banks (more reliable than credit unions BTW) but those don't provide services like depositing cash some people need.
I think Naur would say that design documents can't capture the program any more than the source code does. The program lives in the minds of the people who make it. It's like a distributed system with no non-volatile storage. When the last node goes down, end of system.

How is voluntary ingress into aid shelters the same as a concentration camp? Do you consider every refugee camp the same thing then? More importantly I fail to see how this helps when it actually causes more delays in aid and funding due to political infighting and media hysterics. It's yet another case of terminology being a trivial distraction from the actual issue, and in this case hurting the people involved.

Not seeking asylum is not the same as committing suicide. That's a completely disingenuous and emotional argument. Asylum is when you are not safe anywhere in your country, which is not the reality for most of these migrants who are fleeing poor economic and government conditions. This is reflected in number of asylum cases that are actually accepted.

What regimes are you talking specifically? Do you mean the socialist governments? The failure of those is always inevitable and can only be fixed by new leadership, not by importing the populace into another country.

It's very much a communication issue, but also an incompetance political game playing issue. To answer your question, I put a ton of energy into doing exactly what you suggest, which most people didn't and don't. It ammounted to some changes eventually taking place after I left, according to my former team members, but the managerial nonsense never dissapeared; those managers involved were later promoted.
Apparently my senses are burned from the years of hedonism, because the “no tone mapping” pic is the one I want to touch. “Auto levels” in Gimp on the “high contrast” pic also gives a result similar to the “no mapping.”

The UK got a decent amount of info about both programmes in the media. Being of the West there was more, and more detail about Nasa missions, but we didn't seem to lack awareness of Russian activities. Especially as they got so many of the firsts.

I remember discussions comparing the Soyuz and Nasa lunar rovers as they were very different approaches. Same for the space stations, and obviously there was the Soyuz-Nasa mission where the two sides docked in orbit. How much we didn't get to know about I couldn't say!
They can, it'd be a waiting game at that point. But as I mentioned elsewhere, you could also add more safeguards like a friend vouching that you're safe, as well.

A male manager denies a raise to a female engineer on the basis that the female engineer takes 10 sick days per year that their contract says they are entitled to.

Why is it important to emphasise sex in this? Periods.

The experience is different for each person but the fact that they didn't feel able to take 12 may itself be a problem. And even 10 would only allow the taking of a single day each month during the worst symptoms. Whilst at the same time leaving yourself with no days were you to get a cold later in the year.
I was taking the original comment to be along the lines of maybe only x% of people have what it takes to be good enough to be professional computer scientists or engineers.
I don't dissagree, but the nature of them being "far, far, from perfect" includes things that don't fall under the actions or behaviour of a person and end up being fixed for a period of time, making the comparison in some ways apt. Assuming you don't explore further, knowing someone's number and using it to characterize a person is at least close to as stupid as age discrimination or racial. I'd grant you that there is a higher liklihood than others that the number is informed by poor decision making, but it's equally likely that the number is low due to unforseen circumstances.
