One product i’ve been waiting for is the upcoming mac pro. But given it has an intel cpu, overpriced and less lower powerful than the amd, i am going to delay that purchase for the foreseeable future.

Deep neural nets have a natural tendency to overfit.

Ideally, you have a held-out test which the model hasn't seen and only used after model has trained and tuned on the dev and validation sets. Often bad experimental models will repeatedly use the test set in fine-tuning an existing model which may result in your model learning about the test set rendering the test set useless.

In the practice real world results may vary as your training and test data may not represent the actual distribution of the real world data.
Yes it's not racism but Hinduphobia. And since author seems to attach this Hinduphobia with development of India and current state of poverty, he's indirectly saying Hinduism is the cause; which is what our British colonizers used to say. So it's not racism but Imperialism laced with Hinduphobia.
This is what i said:

>Once you’re committing felonies the primacy of rational thought could be called into question.

This is what you're saying i said:

>Your point seems to state that committing a felony implies that a criminal is automatically willing to escalate to any other crime, as if anything resembling rationality is impossible.

See the difference?
A self-proclaimed leftist killed 10 people and injured 27 more in an incident less than a week ago.

You fail to recognize that the "left" is as wide and disconnected as the "right", and they both host dangerous and despicable morons.
I didn't know what "SJW" meant.

Looked it up, it means "social justice warrior", defined by Wikipedia as "a pejorative term for an individual who promotes socially progressive views, including feminism, civil rights, and multiculturalism, as well as identity politics".
Yes, more than one infact.
> second rate talent

Not saying this is true - or even workable - but maybe they've figured out a way to apply so-called "second rate talent" to create "first rate results"?

For instance, have you ever researched how machining and machine tools came to be?

That is, how it was possible to create a machine capable of tolerances within say, 10-thousandths of an inch (that is, a really, really small amount, regardless of the units) - when the machines and tooling prior to that were no where near capable of doing that work?

In other words - how were we able to make more accurate machines using less accurate machines?

Maybe the same principles are being utilized by the NRO for this project...
High-grade 'skunk' weed and a few concerned parents.

Under New Labour (not to be confused with the Labour Party) the generic catch-all term 'cannabis' was down-graded to Class C. So still illegal.

Then, after a few complaints from parents with kids ending up in lunatic asylums due to smoking too much high-grade weed, something had to be done.

The market for weed has changed a lot over the years, in the last century the product came from who-knows-where and was generally that resin stuff with who-knows-what in it.

Then the market changed to the regular 'skunk' weed - dried leaves of weed.

This then became a bit of a racket, if you believe the Daily Mail it became the business of Vietnamese gangs with the money being laundered through cash only nail bars. For a while the product was quite dangerously adulterated with wallpaper paste sprayed on to make it look extra good. The slight problem with this is that the wallpaper paste would not do wonders for circulatory systems, giving rise to blood clots etc.

There was also a side-problem of legal highs, e.g. 'spice', these really tipping people over the edge into psychosis.

The adulterated weed was soon rejected by the customers and even stronger 'high grade' weed began to be what was available.

By now the older sticky resin type of weed that your grandfather smoked whilst listening to The Beatles and wearing tie-dye clothing was no longer available. We had gone from 'shandy' to 'absinthe', a different beast.

Also to note is that the government is nowadays Conservative so there is nobody in power wanting to enable people to enjoy the finer grades of weed - just ban it is the attitude. People who do smoke the stuff do end up with ideas above their station and you can't have that.

Often the word 'psychosis' was used to describe the kids that worried their parents by smoking too much of the stuff. 'Paranoid' was also an oft-used word. Sure the more modern weeds are a lot more intoxicating than the cannabis resin that went around in the olden days but it is always easier to blame the coping strategy rather than the root problem, e.g. the difficulty of being a teenager in modern Britain.
Svalbard is an amazing, humbling place in terms of nature. The fact that once you leave town, for hundreds of kilometers in any direction there are zero humans, zero cellular reception, just nothing but you, the ice, and maybe the bears. I went there one winter and spent a week without sunlight. It was the first time in my life I went a few days without seeing the sun. A few photos:

True, I wouldn't want to live there long term -- the limitations of a small town and no road access to other towns could get depressing after a while. But it was definitely an experience being there for a week.
Woahhhhh, MacOS support? That's enough for me to switch from CircleCI right now. $40/mo to Circle is just a lot to do CI/CD for some React Native apps, with CD only getting kicked off once a week or so.

Epic Games saw their CPU usage double after applying the meltdown patch. Things have gotten quite a bit slower since then. Turns out flushing every time you switch into kernel space carries a massive impact if you are realtime with lots of network calls.

I guess I see why it's controversial but that is a bodacious looking patch.
> That isn't true, because of how many undocumented immigrants come in and these numbers remain positive.

The articles you cite are specific to legal immigrants.

> Finally, why are native people better or more deserving than the immigrants to a better life?

The nation-state exists in service of its citizens, not the wider world.

> despite the clear indications that the non-natives are of a net benefit to you over the natives

I come from a family of legal immigrants. Not the long-winded "trace my family to the Mayflower" way, but in the "my family speaks another language" way. I have no argument against legal immigration that selects for what our society most needs. Open borders are a free for all that throws our lower rungs to fend for themselves.

I like the presentation a lot, but after looking at the features tab I'm left wishing there were some sort of interactive demo.

This looks like a really cool project! I like the idea of a journaling tool that also helps you reflect at a meta-level after you've entered in your momentary feelings.
> I get stressed out from programming

Deleted code is debugged code. There is a fallacy that more lines of code means a better world. Why not try doing things that don't require coding skills, and try doing more point-and-click things. Personally I only code if I really have to and my livelihood depends on it (but luckily I can now afford not to code and focus on other things). I recently switched to doing social media marketing for a small handful of clients. It's good money for what is essentially managing a few Twitter & Facebook accounts :)
Apparently it’s free if you have self hosted runners (makes sense).
> Either way, it's really funny that we need a state-of-art 64 core CPU to exceed 60 fps in AV1 encode.

When H.264 was introduced, you needed a state of the art CPU just to play it back... You can imagine how slow encoding it was.

I don't think it's analogous.

If you need a certificate to prove you own a domain, changing DNS TXT records for that domain, or serving a secret, from that domain, proves you own the domain.

If I need a certificate that proves I am the corporate entity on some signature, say, "PhotoStructure, Inc.", there isn't some magick TXT record I can add that uniquely identifies me as the owner of that business.
That might be short sighted. Allowing github to grow and being careful about leveraging it is a wise in the long run.

If github gets bloated with bad ideas and microsoft specific features the community will leave.
And I thought the ratio was odd here in Oregon, where you can possess an ounce (~28g) or four plants - which of course means you likely can't harvest them without going over the limit...
I am going to pay 49€ for iPhone 6 original battery replacement in coming weeks. It’s still many times cheaper than buying new phone. Ifixit wants 20€ only for compatible part, so I think, Apple’s 49€ inclusive half hour technician work is very good deal.

I work as an electrical engineer and understand Apple’s position very well. Nobody wants, that user try to service their devices. Some get lucky and device works fine, but majority end up wanting free support for their failures. Especially when YouTube is full of tutorials teaching untrained folks how to do even complicated repairs. Without proper skill it ends up very quickly in a disaster <- see this daily in my job.
MMT would suggest that the government prints money and then adjusts taxes to control inflation.

So you have a bunch of new people move, they start collecting UBI, the government prints money to fund the new liabilities, the newly-immigrated spend their UBI, incomes/revenues go up for businesses, the overall size of the pie grows, and if inflation starts to get out of control you raise taxes such that everyone is still better off than before.

Unfortunately this wouldn't work because of politics. You need a relatively reactive monetary & tax policy which just is not realistic.
I agree 100%. After purchasing a home and joining the local neighborhood social media scene, it's unreal how suspicious people are of the people and cars in the neighborhood (even ones that belong to residents!). We live in as safe of a neighborhood as you possibly could, and people are still paranoid.

People lament a loss of community and then without irony, get on FB and worry that every unfamiliar vehicle passing through the neighborhood is a potential burglar.

We can try to meet everyone who comes through and have a community, or we can think every stranger is dangerous, but we can't do both. Having a community requires some vulnerability, as you say.
That’s disappointing. The original Actions was amazing and much of that was the thoughtful main.workflow file. This feels like a regression. I’m not a yaml hater like many but main.workflow was clean, almost pleasant to use. It felt like it actually came from understanding developers.
I don't know, as you can tell I don't know much about explosives. But you wouldn't need to literally vaporise it, I guess, and I doubt it'd need a miniature nuke.

In my defence, a quick search shows this story:

https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/amazon-delivery-dron...

So apparently it's not a stupid suggestion and Amazon are thinking along the same lines.

I only ask because it seems making drones land safely is hard. I mean, a paracute with a whistle is a great idea until it drifts in front of a car moving at high speed, or lands on a deaf person or shorts out a high-voltage cable. They all have problems. If there was a way to convert the failed drone into widely dispersed very small objects, the harm may be much lower.

I think it was made due to laptops. Everything has to be flat.
Using clips like on DDR wouldnt really "fit" as then youd have a waste of space, and DDR is a generic component nowdays.
The other option is to use PCI-E cards, of course.

That's a good example of a tiny change Microsoft could do, which would make me want to leave github, hehe :)
That sounds a bit like Github Pages which has been a thing for a while.
Since you will eventually be able to use your own agents ("coming soon"), pricing shouldn't really be a problem.
"1. Email is too open"

You can also use a separate email address for each different communication, like I do. In addition to avoiding much of the spam, you can also use this capability to search messages.

"2. Email is a poor aggregator of context ... When you receive two separate notifications related to one piece of your work ..., your inbox has no awareness that those notifications are linked to a common item."

It would be possible to do in a few ways: One is to include the pull request ID in the subject line or in a custom header. Another way is to assign a message ID to the piece of your work, in order that you can use it to reply. Using the message ID in this way is perhaps easier and would work better if a NNTP interface is used to provide the context and changes and the ability to reply to it, although it would work with email too.

"3. The inbox was not designed to manage tasks"

This section says the inboxes do not support some things, although it would be possible for the email client software to include some of these features. (That is also true of some of the other features mentioned below.)
I didn't know how much I needed that laugh just now.
If only now I can use AMD GPUs for training neural networks. Nvidia badly needs some competition.
OTOH, Intel found ways to segment without attempting insane things like "oh but I don't allow you to put a Core i5 in a datacenter".

A kind of clause which might very well be void in tons of jurisdictions, by the way.

Make is the worst build system... except for all the others.
Don't count on this. There are ways to guess if the dev tools are likely to be open and then alter nefarious behavior based on that.

For example you can detect changes in window sizes or look for plugins that are in the global namespace (e.g. Redux Dev Tools). Better play it safe and don't copy and paste private data to random sites.

Another attack vector would be to avoid sending down any data unless it contains something that looks like a hash or a token, or has a keyword like "password."
Still surprises me the new Mac Pro isn’t AMD.

I guess Intel current handcuffs on customers is them owning Thunderbolt.
Not rude at all and happy to give input, however my circumstances are different than those with MS/ALS etc so not sure how relevant it will be. I can still "technically" walk, move, appear fairly normal outwardly, I am just in severe pain all the time, have ongoing damage to joints and nerves from surgery that caused this, and my endurance and mental state has gone with it. It's a slowly creeping degeneration after a massive initial decrease, and isn't at all like those mentioned neurodegenerative issues where brain function is failing rapidly. I have some other physical issues as well that compound this.

From a philosophical point of view for ME personally, VR/AR/the internet/gaming etc isn't an adequate substitute for "real life" and I personally don't derive enough from substitutes to feel my quality of life is good, it's more just clinging to SOME interaction as I do here on HN. However I am sure for some people it is enough to make a significant impact and I find it a worthy avenue to pursue.

From a physical point of view, my circumstances make even the above things worse as I have some visual issues that cause headaches/eyestrain etc severely with most modern display types for some yet undetermined reason. It's none of the obvious once like PWM/blue light etc. So I am in a really corner case spot with tech and clinging to a super old device or two that aren't long for the world. I also have monovision and severe amblyopia so VR headsets don't work even if I could stand the display tech. I can stand a few min here and there to post a comment. But I cannot spend hours online or on screen anymore. A perfect ironic hit since that was about the only earning potential left and its already cost me the one real shot I have had in years. So often people are facing multiple disabilities from multiple angles.

I hope its helpful although I doubt I said much of substance.

Well, your make failure #1 is not using make?

Also, #3 is what make excels in. I'm still to see another tool that is more fit to that kind of thing.

At the end of the day, I don't like make. It's for reason #5: there's no project introspection, you can't group tasks into high level values, update your graph on the fly, or add anything to your target except at the source level. I see this one didn't make into your list. This is one of the reasons those multi-million makefiles exist.

I'd rather deal with a small shell script, or a larger Python one if it can't be small. Yet, autotools are great for system programming.
Also, it's not like you can create an account and downvote. I think that is overlooked as well.
Of course not. Just wondering for transparencies sake and would could be possibly be improved in the future.
They are not linear unless all requests take an identical amount of time OR the system is not oversubscribed (common in many workloads) - and even then, the current linux CFS scheduler has a complexity of `O(log N)`.

When you have variable length requests, you will find cores will not always be balanced, it is simply a statistical reality. And in those cases, the kernel will have to migrate your process to a different core, and if you have 256 cores, that core might be really far away.
You shouldn't use the mean when doing benchmarking. Better to use the median or fastest time. Lots of random things can happen on computers (usually in the OS) that can result in some operation taking 1000x longer.
Even if the benchmarks were done properly, I would rather still use Firefox (privacy trumps performance)...
For example, Bulgaria's GDP per capita is $9,272 and Luxembourg's is $114,340. Yet, there's full freedom of movement between the two countries.

I fully agree and I think you're making a much more nuanced argument now.

I think HN's moderation has problems with certain topics that have mysteriously become high-voltage in certain social circles, like Damore/men's rights/etc. But crucially, no worse than other general purpose discussion sites and mostly it's still better. You can show dead, view flagged stories etc. The problem is comments that trigger Valley liberals tend to be criticised by the mods on the grounds that other people would respond badly to them, which is annoying, because it's actually those who respond badly that should be given a finger-wag, you'd imagine.

But still that's a far cry from banning politics, which HN doesn't do, and it doesn't even ban discussions on those hot topics, they're just much more likely to be flagged by users. I read HN with showdead turned on and by starting at the (oddly hidden) /active URL, which shows flagged stories, so I have a pretty good sense of how much stuff gets flagged and why. It's a mix of things and not entirely easy to predict. It's not politically biased in exclusively one direction either. To some extent what gets whacked seems to depend on what time it gets posted, ditto for comments. Try criticising the EU on any HN thread during the European daytime and lots of outraged Europhiles will vote you down to -2. Then when the Americans wake up and the "EUropeans" go to bed, the same post will get positively re-rated. It's clearly a matter of voter identity and not the wording of the posts themselves that are the issue.

I used to love Slashdot's style of user-driven moderation. It did require people to pick adjectives to justify their mod decisions, and then the meta-mod process helped weed out abusers. It's a pity it never caught on outside that site. HN's approach is very different, and some days I think it's worse, other days I think it's better. I'm not sure Slashdot had to deal with the same kind of political problems we have today though. Perhaps the closest was open source vs Microsoft, or something like that. I don't recall the same kind of extremist social positions that burn so much bandwidth on all discussion platforms (that don't ban them).
For large open source projects it's free. Over time I can see them expanding their feature set including more powerful machines.
However,don't Intel and Nvidia both manufacture their chips, whereas AMD design them and licence the designs. Which I assumes at least partly accounts for the lower headcount?
