First, findings were not compared with current clinical practice, where risk assessment is routine

This undermines the conclusion of the paper regarding allocation of resources. Actual services are exclusively allocated within current practice. It advocates a policy based on logic, not field experience.

More troubling is that it misses the point that suicide risk assessment in clinical settings is an intervention. Suicide risk assessment is clinicians talking with patients about suicide. Assessment is part of treatment.

It's been almost two decades since I've worked with Project Gutenberg and Distributed Proofreaders, but back then they had pro bono counsel who would provide opinions and clear works prior to publication. Does standardebooks.org not have the same?
"Do you feel like Epstein and NXVIM are related in some way?"

That they are two similar things that people would not have believed before that turned out to be true. (Or very likely true.)

"I don't think that people might not belive a thing, anything, and then find out it is true ... has anything to do with anything else."

Probably better to link to something you can poke through than try to explain it myself: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/GJ4ZQm7crTzTM6xDW/focus-your... That is in the middle of a sequence, you may find it helpful to start at the beginning, but it's starts speaking directly to what I was referring to.

(I actually don't consider myself a "rationalist", for variety of reasons, but I still have learned a lot from them. But I do endorse the specific idea that if you can explain why something is true, and explain why it is false, equally fluidly, you have no explanation. I recommend them for their reading about their ways of thought, and thinking about them carefully; I recommend significantly more care and intellectual inertia when they try to create enormous castles of further inference on top of that.)
The criticisms quoted in this article are rather poor. First the contention that AI is better for rote tasks. Not true -- this is an old and outdated view. Also the pooh-poohing of mere knowledge. You know, our democracies could benefit from more people understanding statistics and/or chemistry. If you understand first year physics + chemistry + biology + math + econ + psych, you get a pretty useful model of how the world works. If you really get those subjects, you're able to make all kinds of inferences and guesses that turn out to be right surprisingly often.

As a game developer, I have a lot of exposure to the art-school types, and it's amazing how poor their grasp is of how anything works, other than EDIT: s/humans/human emotions/ and human-centric narrative.

(following this tangent) My impression of QR's problem was:

1) High ergonomics barrier; the user needed to install a QR app from the appstore or find the icon for it and start it.

2) People who are not on HN don't know what it is anyway.

Now that it's built in to most Android/iPhone cameras, #1 is solved. Now that #1 is solved, #2 is self-solving.

QR gets a lot of jank but when I use it, it's very handy.
Hey I'm in Cedar Mill and used to live practically across the street from Tektronix. My email is in my profile if you want to get coffee or check out the museum together. :-)
Bioinformatics is one of the application areas we thought this might be useful! I've chatted with a few, and it appears the applications right _now_ might be more limited due to the need for exact matches. It's something we are thinking about for the future, and think it could be useful.

There may also be some applications for this in NLP. I'm chatting with a professor who thought this could help speed up some old algorithms that weren't scalable before.
What scares you about it? React seems pretty easy to use?
Yes it's difficult, but people try anyway. The term to Google for is WCET analysis:

Buyers and Google prefer 2nd-price. 1st-price is happening because the industry forced it with publishers doing header bidding to create a unified auction. The only way to compare multiple separate auctions is if the original bids carried through. Now all the complexity has shifted to buy-side platforms with "bid shading" and other algorithms.
> There will be complaints from users of memory-heavy programs running on 32-bit platforms though.

I would think this would be a small one of many complaints such users would have on a daily basis.
This is a reductionist ad hominem response that fails to address any of the points raised in TFA.

> Let me see if I understand this right: New Zealand citizen and Facebook board member Peter Thiel criticizes UK-based DeepMind and its sister company Google for working with non-US countries on AI technology.

No, you do not have that correct. He is not criticizing Google for working with "non-US countries". He is criticizing them for working with China specifically, which is known to spy on and steal technology from the US and then use it to oppress their citizens. At the same time Google is refusing to work with the US, you know the country where they actually live and work.
I've never fasted, but I HAVE lost 62lbs and counting over the past 18 months or so. All I've had to do is eat a lot less, and work out a lot more! It's primarily down to meal tracking, so I know what my inputs and outputs are. It's easier than ever with apps to do all this stuff, and fitness watches that can estimate how much you burn in your daily activities and workouts. Once you start getting that feedback loop of something that works (rather than "I ate healthy for a few weeks and my weight stayed the same, so fuckit, I give up"), I find it so much easier.

It's interesting to me that the author proposes skipping breakfast, which is generally considered to be "the most important meal of the day". Most folks say your smallest meal should be dinner, but I think for most of us, it's the biggest. You have more time for it, and you're worn out and hungry from the day. I do it all wrong; I eat 3 meals a day plus a few snacks, and after getting off work, doing a workout, going home, showering, prepping dinner, it seems like it's 9pm before dinner most days, and in bed within 90mins.

I actually did have a period where I probably stuck fairly close to the proposed schedule; for several years I didn't eat breakfast at all, because I was too lazy to bother. By 11:45 I'd be aching for food, and annoyed that my coworkers took forever to decide where to go. I started eating breakfast, and found that it delayed my hunger pangs by only 15 minutes -- that is to say, it was a habit, rather than purely food driven.

But I wasn't light back in the days when I was skipping breakfast, and I didn't gain weight when I started eating breakfast.

I think the key here is that you have to be skipping breakfast intentionally, as part of a method of restricting ourselves, of being mindful about what you eat. And you can do that in any number of ways.

The immutability argument makes a lot more sense once you detach presentation from content (json, markdown, style-free html). A presentation-free Web is basically a DB with immutability acting as its versioning system. IPFS/Dat make that argument stronger my adding writability to end-users.

A presentation-free Web also empowers the browser to set the presentation, which really helps with issues around accessibility, anti-tracking, end-user customization, and (I'd argue) decentralization of Web software overall.
Can we all agree that the author of that article wrote incredibly unsparingly, and did not presenT any form of an interesting narrative, for something that could have been a quite interesting topic/personal story. In fact, it felt like I was reading the work of someone who was not interested in writing whatsoever, which is funny considering that they are a professor at a liberal arts college.

Quelle joie immense de ressentir dans mon cœur. Enfin, le VIH est parti. Je suis très heureux de pouvoir partager ici ce témoignage étonnant qui explique comment le docteur Ahmed Usman, le grand docteur en herbes médicinales, a pu me guérir de mon virus VIH avec ses médicaments à base de plantes. Je suis une patiente atteinte du VIH depuis près de 5 ans maintenant et j'ai essayé différentes méthodes de traitement pour m'assurer que je sois guérie de cette terrible maladie, mais aucune d'entre elles n'a fonctionné pour moi. Je devais tout laisser à Dieu pour gérer car j'étais un chrétien qui croyait qu'un jour Dieu interviendrait dans ma vie, mais je me sentais si triste et désespéré de perdre presque tout à cause de ma maladie. Il y a quelques mois, alors que je surfais sur Internet, j'ai vu diverses recommandations concernant le Dr Ahmed. Usman a expliqué comment il utilisait ses plantes médicinales pour soigner et guérir les gens. Au début, j'avais honte de révéler mon statut à qui que ce soit, alors j'ai contacté le Dr Ahmed Usman à cause de la stigmatisation. Après un moment, le Dr Ahmed Usman m'a dit, pour être sûr de préparer un médicament à base de plantes, il m'a dit que je prendrais ce médicament pendant quelques semaines et a également demandé l'adresse de son domicile. son domicile, afin de pouvoir me soumettre, le médicament à base de plantes, je l'ai pris sous la direction du Dr Ahmed Usman, après quelques semaines alors que je prenais des médicaments avec le Dr Ahmed Usman, mon corps a commencé à changer, je devais appelez mon médecin à l'hôpital pour un test sanguin après le test, mon médecin de l'hôpital m'avait dit que je n'étais plus infecté par le VIH, je ne peux même pas le croire, mes amis et aujourd'hui, je suis libre du VIH et je veux que tout le monde le Sachez qu’il existe un remède contre le VIH, ne laissez personne vous décourager, contactez le Dr Ahmed Usman par e-mail (drahmedusman5104@gmail.com).

Is a Vegetarian Diet Bad for Your Brain?
An "Any type" is optional typing if you don't need to downcast it in order to use it, like the "any" type in TypeScript and Flow.

If the "Any" type is just a top type but you have to downcast it to use it, like in Kotlin, then it's not considered optional typing, since you still have to talk about types ;).

One of the few things that Greenpeace and the US military agree on is that civilian and military nuclear programs are very difficult to tell apart from the outside. That's why everyone watches Iran so closely.

Opposition to nuclear weapons fed back through nuclear testing into opposing the construction of the reactors themselves, because without the reactors there is no weapons programme.
And back when almost no Americans were overweight intermittent fasting wasn't a thing.

Second this! I think we're seeing this change, at least in the tech space with notions like "Deep focus time" and "DND hours."

Yep, fully aware of his pedophilia. But the thread is not about morally upstanding people, rather of people who chose to start something in their middle age.

I would also keep mind Sturgeon's Law ("90% of everything is crud", first published 1957 in his book review column, interestingly enough).

Most books are crap. Interchangeable crap; maybe you'd enjoy some of them or learn something, but you could pick at random from the interchangeable pile of crap and be equally entertained and educated.

If you trawled that 80% of pre-1964 books, most of it would be crap, simply because most books are crap, whether they were published in 1964, 2014, or 1864. And more of it would be crap, because if you are differentially renewing copyrights on books in your catalogue, you are trying to renew the good stuff and forget the crap.

That's not to say that good books didn't fall out of copyright, for a million reasons, but if you have five books you like from before 1964, and you go check the copyright status, don't be surprised if fewer than 4 are part of that 80%.

Agreed. I'm proud of the "system" for choosing to keep him alive. My wife works in a county hospital here in CA, and I'm proud of the great work they do to save the lives, every day, of the 'illegal' immigrants, of the indigent, of the homeless, of prisoners.
Thanks! Yea, we "cheat" by restricting ourselves to the top-k & distributional assumptions. For our case, the low frequency grams are never used, so it makes sense.

>So if I understand correctly... the application here is to take a large number of programs known to be infected with the same malware, and then run this to find the large chunks in common that will be more reliable as a malware signature in the future.

You basically got it! We also find large chunks in benign files too. While just _one_ chunk is pretty indicative, performance is much better by using multiple. Thats where Logistic Regression (+ Lasso) comes in to tell us how important each chunk is to making a decision.

Near term I think there are some NLP applications for this (though not out to 1024 grams!), and I'm hopeful extensions to this work will be useful to bioinformatics problems.

I'm also interested in seeing what craziness people come up with now that large n-grams are an option! Everything I had done/learned before put n>6 as an immediate "why even think about it, you can't compute them" bucket.

I don't. It's a spectrum.

I don't know that an old-school land line phone isn't always listening. But it was made by some disinterested party who just makes hardware. It was a simple logical device designed to rely on a simple mechanical switch. It could be listening, but it's understandable by someone like me and there's no incentive for anyone involved. I don't really know if I'm in control, but it's reasonable to think I am.

I don't know that a modern voice assistant isn't always listening either. It is an incredibly complex device usually designed by an entity whose business makes hundreds of millions of dollars based off of the inspection of the personal data of people like me. It is a complex full functioning computer. It uses a statistical algorithm that I know will incorrectly activate sometimes. I cannot understand or predict when it will listen. I cannot understand or predict when it will send a recording somewhere. It receives updates frequently. Because it's a full computer with an internet connection, those updates could make it do a huge variety of things. I know I'm not in control.

> Most of the US is not experiencing economic growth, and is probably actually experiencing deflation due to decreasing economic potential and population.

Literally every single US state is experiencing growth [0].

> I don’t see the purpose of lumping in data from those places with the urban areas that most people want to live in and are able to find work and economic growth.

Most people aren't software engineers and for those that are, there are still plenty of job opportunities outside the bay area. Pretty much every fortune 500 company needs some software engineers and they are spread throughout the US.

> The inflation in rent and real estate is very real because more and more people want to (and need to) live in a smaller and smaller area, which also causes everything else to increase.

No, it't not [1]. You can sample this yourself by opening up zillow and putting a 250,000 dollar limit and you can find housing pretty much everywhere. Again, most people don't live in the bay area.

I think the bigger problem is the overall influence that "traditional learning" has on the mindset of the learner. In both the USA and China, you can see what every young person's mindset is focused on - studying for that big college entrance exam. Everything is simply a means to achieving a good score on that exam.

Perhaps if we allowed kids to move away from that idea of the "big college entrance exam" or similar we could dive into the deeper stuff like...what do YOU want to be when you get older, what problems do YOU want to try to solve and so on. If someone wants to work on video games then start pushing them down that path as soon as possible...get them to learn coding, media design, computer graphics and so on.
