I'm actually the person who wrote this Reddit post. I'd never heard of Hacker News before, but someone messaged me on Reddit telling me this 4 year old post just surfaced over here.

Let me know if you have any questions about electrical theory or installation, or anything else!

I'm guessing "instructional design" is referring to how you model the problem domain being learned so that it's amenable to use with adaptive learning systems?

Most research in this area is drawn from the domain of “Intelligent Tutoring Systems,” (ITSs), thoroughly described in Woolf’s book “Building Intelligent Interactive Tutors.” [WOOLFE2009].

I'd say the classic Intelligent Tutor System construction was pioneered by ADVISOR [BWB2000]. It's a two-agent architecture that first trains a student model on real-world data, then uses the student model to train a pedagogical agent using a more resource intensive algorithm. Most modern ITSs make use of Representation Learning (RL) to train the pedagogical agent.

One of the main techniques for structuring the problem domain is Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) [CA1995], where you model the domain being learned as a Bayesian skills network; i.e. a 4-tuple of probabilities (init, learning, guess, slip), updated in a Bayesian fashion. An excellent survey work in this area is given in [BGTPF2010].

If you're interested in the RL part of the problem, and how it can work with this setup you might want to look into partially observable Markov decision process — POMDPs. Emma Brunskill has done some nice work in this area.

I haven't installed Linux on it yet, however the processor - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaGX seems to use the 486 instruction set, so I believe it should still work with modern kernels.
Yes, that was considered as a possibility, and it still could be. But as the name suggests (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), there should be orthostatic tachycardia which I don't have. I just get (as far as I can tell) random episodes of sinus tachycardia + lightheadedness, which have happened while being seated. I got an echo and many EKGs that were all normal. I can't seem to connect the dots on any triggers or things that help. Been trying to exercise more which does seem to help, but exercise probably helps everything.
If anyone is interested in playing with Fully Homomorphic Encryption, we (NuCypher YC S16) built NuFHE (https://github.com/nucypher/nufhe/). It's written in Python and has excellent documentation, so you can try building some circuits and playing around with it. It requires a GPU to run, but it's also the fastest implementation of FHE in the world (that I know of).

Let me know what you think! :)
Which violent protesters are you referring to?

Which law?

Not if the extra $15k keeps an otherwise good teacher/educator from leaving and going to a private company.
The problem with where we live is more a circumstance of bad environment that messes with drivers, which upon realizing this, spurred me to make the website to include pictures.

The building itself looks like a garage from the road, so many pass by the unmarked door they need to enter the code on. Also, there's three consecutive lanes you can turn right onto, so when Waze tells them to turn right, only 33% of drivers get it correct else they get lost in a maze of parking lots and dead ends. This is also after the driver successfully navigates a roundabout (hard for some US drivers) and does not accidentally getting back onto the interstate because the lanes are not clearly marked.
"Since the ground-fault current path has inherently much higher resistance than the neutral wire, the amount of current flowing through the circuit jumps enormously during a ground-fault."

This is incorrect (probably a typo) - the GFC ensures there is a very low resistance path to source, which ensures a current spike that is sufficient to blow the fuse.
Inside a 3.5" floppy hard-shell is a floppy disk that's made of the same (or very similar) floppy material that a 5.25" and 8" floppy is made of. So I think the term is OK.
It depends on what you mean by HFT, if you mean prop trading, that was made illegal by Dodd Frank for large cap businesses to engage in with investor funds. If you mean market making HFT (which some prop firms also do), that's what this article is about.
any verifiable voting mechanism opens oneself up to vote buying.

if I can use homomorphic encryption to verify my vote I can give the same info needed (say this 128 bit number) to someone else.
This argument relies on a fallacy of binary thinking: either you have ideas or you don't.

It's perfectly fine to say that you have lots of investment ideas, but they don't add up to needing $100 billion to implement them. Especially when you are earning more cash every quarter.
DAT is one of the better protocols because it has evolved its approach and is starting to adopt CRDTs.

I'm FUDing append-only logs and immutability, not products - don't conflate the two, or else you discourage legitimate discussion around the scalability of different architectures.

Question: Do you have to still store the full history?

How would you explain scaling something like Uber with this model, then? You're gonna have 100s of GPS coordinate updates per second, for each car, potentially millions of them.
Some good, constructive advice in here amongst some of the usual pablum. Reframing is clever: "We're looking for younger minds." "Well, what you're actually looking for is innovative thinking and here's XYZ that I can bring."
That argument applies in the other direction as well: it's a very relatively young industry full of big industry-wide disruptions at least once a decade since it has been its own industry. Companies with young median and mean ages may have been more likely to survive (or evolve out of) some of those big early disruptions, but that may not be a long term equilibrium for the industry.

Keep in mind, too, how much the 80s, 90s, and 00s median/mean ages were impacted by "flash flood" millionaires that could retire early simply by how much money was thrown around in the various "software revolution" and "Dot Com" booms.

> Empress trees (...) absorb about 103 tons of carbon a year per acre.

In 2016, U.S. GHG emissions were 20.15 metric tons CO2-equivalent per person[1].

So basically each american would have to cultivate about 0.196 acre of empress trees (792 sq meters, or 8522 sq foot) to become carbon neutral.

> Bamboo’s carbon sequestration properties have been studied in countries where it naturally forms wild forests, such as Mexico (Castañeda, 2006) and China (Song, 2011). Contributing to these efforts, Ricardo Rojas Quiroga—an environmental engineering student at the Universidad Nuestra Señora de La Paz—studied Guadua angustifolia, a species of bamboo that grows in the Carrasco National Park of Bolivia. He measured the density and masses of bamboo plants in the forest, estimating the amount of carbon stored per hectare. Rojas concluded that, in addition to forming part of one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world, each hectare of the bamboo forest of Carrasco National Park stores levels of carbon comparable to some large tree species such as Chinese fir and oak. This finding is consistent with that of many previous studies, a review of which can be found in this 2010 report by INBAR.

I would also like information about this. How much does this tree deplete the soils, or do they help build them up?
> On the contrary, it objectively is the case, as the first video you yourself linked to shows: it opens with a pro-mainland student in black rushing into the pro-HK crowd and assaulting someone with a crowd screaming and advancing behind him.

Quick questions:

1. How do you know that guy is pro-mainland? I certainly don't have enough information to make a concrete determination such as that, i'd be curious to know how you did. It looks like he came from the pro-HK side of the mob as they are the ones holding the signs and the guy in the black sweater and glasses from that side is screaming "free hong kong", but I could be wrong.

2. Who hit who first? It looks like a mutual engagement to me.

Your confirmation bias is really shining through here.
Most of my 1.44MB 3.5" have rotted away as well. Sadly I don't have older ones left to test. I also havent seen a 5.25" drive in a long long time.

What you should really do with floppies is to quickly copy the data to another storage medium.

What qualifies as "same sort of crowdsourced intimidation tactics"? Yesterday, a Trump supporter was actually beaten bloody by a crowd in NYC based on the hat he wore. Are media and political figures who demonize Trump and his voters also responsible for that "crowdsourced intimidation"?

We're better at anesthesia now, but would we have ever gotten good at anesthetizing babies if we kept believing that they didn't feel pain in the first place? Why bother working out how to do it if we think they don't feel pain?
They absolutely do! I write floppies fairly often for some 90s era music sequencers and drum machines.
I also did a similar back-of-the-envelop calculation the moment I saw this 103 tons per acre figures.

Sure, not dismissing it, but it's not the same value. It's not hard cash that the founders/employees can spend, so it's mostly useless in terms of value for research, charity, self-funding new ventures without VCs, investing in other companies, side projects, or whatever else you would do with hard cash.

If you're an early employee of Caviar and got $1M in AMZN stock or options? You could sell it for cash. DoorDash stock? It could be $0 in a few years for all you know, and you quite possibly have no avenues to liquidate it for anything now.

Well, we do have to factor in the potential irreversible loss of biodiversity from the current climate change as well.

Folks should still be preserving the seeds and protect the local ecology as much as possible but they don't mean anything if the climate change isn't slowed down or reversed resulting into the same loss anyway.
Is that the right term, "sleeve"? I always thought of the "sleeve" on my 5.25" floppies as being the tyvek/paper thingie you stuck the floppy disk inside for safekeeping (ultimately putting both in a case/cabinet - which I still have several).

Maybe the thing I thought of as a "sleeve" (analogous to a album "sleeve") is actually called something else (maybe an "envelope"?) - I never really gave it thought until now, honestly.

Yes, all the fully homomorphic schemes are lattice based and thus thought to be quantum resistant
This blew my mind. So the white wire (neutral) is actually what I thought the ground was (connected to earth) and the “ground” wire (usually bare or green) is a conductor for clearing ground faults and isn’t connected to earth.

Marvelous explanation.
Yeah, that was a typo on my part. I didn't notice it at first, and it's now been so long since I posted it that I would feel disingenuous editing it. I think someone pointed out the typo in the comments.

I got myself a kryoflux about a year ago, because I also had a bunch of corrupted disks. I was actually able to recover almost all of them..... what I found was that different drives would have different failed sectors, so I bought like 5-6 different floppy drives, and would scan the same disk with all of them. I could then patch together the working sectors from each drive to get a full image.

Kryoflux is pretty amazing

There definitively isn't a good case for Eyeo. See: First To File vs First To Use. The US is a First to Use country for trademark law. I'm not saying it's a clear and cut case at all but I'd actually bet on a Judge siding with uBlock Origin if it ever went to court, which is unlikely.
Bonus points if it's a 5 1/4" or 8" disk.
The first floppies we've had were the 5.25 inch kind which were truly floppy. I remember how strange it felt to hold the new ones which were in a hard case.
In the USA, we do not even use the same college entrance exam in all higher ed systems. Different state systems use different exams, and then so does each private college and university. There are several, and which you take (or you may take several) depends where you are applying.
I'm happy to pay the good teachers more so long as we can pay the bad ones less and get rid of them easily. The unions fight measures like that hard in my experience.

maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see any system that allows me to verify my vote after the fact not enabling a vote buying mechanism.

As I understand it (perhaps incorrectly), the primary thing that makes vote buying financially difficult is the fact that a person's vote can't be verified. how does homomorphic encryption enable me to verify my own vote but prevent anyone else from using the info I'd give them that I'd use myself to verify my vote.
You and I must live in a different universes; in the one I inhabit, people pushing for nuclear are the opposite of climate deniers.

I thought you might have a point when you said pro-nuclear discourse is like climate denial - to quote, "seems like a great way to hijack people's emotions to drive them towards bad decisions, and basically echos climate change denial strategy". But here, you seem to actually believe that pro-nuclear is positively correlated with climate change denialism, which is an absurd proposition in the universe I come from.
I actually just replied to the person suggesting kryoflux... I was able to recover most of my seeming corrupted disks using kryoflux and a bunch of different floppy drives... different drives were able to read different sectors, which lead me to be able to recover the entire image.

Not sure planting a "highly invasive tree" is the solution: http://www.ecosystemgardening.com/paulownia-princess-tree-on...
This page has a good overview:

>...its ability to sprout prolifically from adventitious buds on stems and roots allows it to survive fire, cutting and even bulldozing in construction areas; making it difficult to remove from established areas.

>...

> Cutting or girdling trees with power or manual saws are effective at preventing seed production, but an herbicide treatment is necessary following cutting since Paulownia readily re-sprouts. Hand pulling may be effective for young seedlings. Plants should be pulled as soon as they are large enough to grasp. Seedlings are best pulled after a rain when the soil is loose. The entire root must be removed since broken fragments may re-sprout. Cutting or pulling is the preferred mechanical treatments of the Paulownia tormentosa; do not use fire because this species is able to survive fire and then quickly proliferates and out-competes native tree species post-fire.
Moving to a low cost area like West Virginia can be a great way for a specific person to improve their economic situation. A video game streamer for example get's paid in USD, but has minimal benefits from living in say Manhattan.

They can still invest in the same stock market, it's only a subset of things that get more or less expensive in various markets. Further, those delta's are fairly consistent over time at least compared with exponential growth from inflation.
The House of Saud was a group of nomads spreading Wahhabism wishing for an Islamic State who happened to be standing around when American prospectors struck oil. The Americans said “hey brb watch this oil for us thx” and they did and were elevated to the official stewards of the oil and we hooked them up with the nation state.

When non-state Wahhabism is interrupting other American pet projects, we drone them. If it is domestic inside of Saudi Arabia or official actions that dont interrupt American pet projects we ignore them. They cut people’s heads off all day within Saudi Arabia under a semblance of theological due process, it isnt of interest.

There is nothing to interfere with.

The US maintains its relationship for the petrodollar oil derivative and “the world” without US support has no say.

So yes, it is “oil” and is that simple. The US is there and enjoys an extremely fruitful symbiotic relationship for the past 100 years.

Although Saudi Arabia started with private American citizens, the Federal Government tried the same concept in every middle eastern country to get us to how it is today.
The machines I worked on had air bearings. No wear. Basically we're talking about something like an error of 10um over 2 meters. It's practically impossible, or cost prohibitive, to remove that error without calibration. The granite surface the air bearings ride on is locally flat but not perfectly accurate over its entire length.

I agree this setup is almost perfectly straight and flat. But it's still not accurate without the calibration.

Just to be clear, there's weren't milling machines...
> What qualifies as "same sort of crowdsourced intimidation tactics"?

Encouraging it.

If you bury it you might be able to stop oxygen from getting in and turning into CO2, at least with any speed. But if water gets in you can still have methanogen bacteria come in and turn the wood into methane. Which you might be able to capture and sell and displace methane mined out of the ground but that isn't the same as locking it away forever.

This process is why you have methane production in swamps and conventional landfills.
