God, Schmidhuber is insufferable.

This whole account has virtually zero mention of how later techniques improved upon or innovated on his, and very little account of how his contributions were (like everyone else's) evolutions of existing methods. It reads almost like Schmidhuber or his students invented and solved everything from scratch, and nobody else has done shit since.

The guy clearly wants to be more included in the standard narrative, but being so self aggrandizing is doing him zero favors. If were capable of writing an honest, charitable account of how his work fits into a much larger field, it would be much easier to take him more seriously.

Probably pressure to find the Muslim men guilty. But usually, those that would in a perfect world protect the judiciary are the ones behind the pressure to find x side guilty. Everyone "knows" and all but a few toe the line.
That's why you don't speak to one investor only. Investors want to invest to make money and they compete against each other (if the company is interesting). Yes, if the situation is "please give us money or we're dead tomorrow", the negotiation position is going to be bad, but that would be because of mistakes made earlier (i.e. not talking to multiple investors, not talking to them early enough, not understanding when the money is going to run out etc).
Doesn't really matter if the "it's ok if it breaks just after warranty end" idea comes from manufacturing or design (and breakage during warranty is still quite annoying). In either case, it's quite hard for me as a customer to identify a product that will be reliable, so I can't properly prioritize it. For somewhat fast-iterating products I maybe can buy slightly outdated models and at least avoid some of the bugs, but even that's problematic.
>Working in an auto plant is hard, backbreaking work that will leave you physically broken by retirement

Maybe 80 years ago. These fellas workin the forges and lifting those blocks certainly went home more sore than someone operating a pneumatic driver all day.

There is so many ergonomic and Health/Safety stuff now.

Maybe it's hyperbole, but I wouldn't call auto assembly factory work 'backbreaking' by any stretch.
It seems like modern toasters try to accomplish so many requirements which are boring and dull at the expense of giving up on ingenuity and beautiful design. Take for example bagel mode, nearly all modern cheap toasters support that, this adds complexity and reduces viability of a rather simpler yet elegant design. Manufacturers wanting to satisfy these rather mundane requirements in order to not only appeal to as many consumers as possible, but also avoid a type of boycott because product X cannot do task Y, thus it's inferior marketing arguments, they forego engineering elegance.
Bringing this point back closer to home: I've been a "software professional" of one shape or another for over 20 years now. In my case, that's come with a never-ending need to constantly retool: new languages, new SDKs, new device types, new APIs, etc., etc. I'm sure this sounds familiar. There are a LOT of jobs out there that don't have any continuing education requirement, or where the idea of learning some new computer interface for doing the same work you were doing before adds a lot of friction.

I enjoy the constant learning curve, but not everybody does. Professions that used to last a lifetime, don't any more, but we aren't given those expectations at the beginning of our journeys. Additionally, even though I enjoy the act of learning I'm starting to notice that it takes a little bit more effort year by year to learn the new tricks. And yet our earning potential (which directly drives a wide range of personal and family decisions) is dependent on staying on the treadmill.

I can see the day, eventually, where I'm not as fast a learner as the latest round of college graduates and where whatever wisdom I may have gained isn't of any value or relevance. I hope I am wrong about that.

A scenario would be something like you and your entire family live somewhere, and you make a good income that allows you to have a decent life, and now that income stream is gone and you’re expected to retrain after who knows how long to “learn 2 code” and then somehow get another high-paying job. What go back to college? A coding boot camp? Uproot you’re family to move to San Francisco and compete with 20 year old kids who have been writing code for years? Obviously some people could do that, but it’s incredibly tone deaf when someone seriously suggests that some coal worker learn to code. They might not even get it or literally be able to do that job. And while I think we should shut down every coal plant, from their perspective it’s the government coming in and destroying their way of life and then not even bothering to help, while those rich liberals keep getting rich and fly around in private jets. I got my haircut the other week and a lady was chatting with me about how she quit her job at a warehouse. While she was great at her job, she said the management let people do a crappy job and it made her angry. Recently that company changed management and asked her for seasonal help and knew she was a good worker. She told me she was thinking about it, and they were offering her the same rate she previously had. You know what never occurred to her? (Her words) it never occurred to her that she could negotiate a better pay rate. So had I not said anything, this lady may have never in her life considered asking for more money. My point isn’t that I’m a savior or something, it’s that when you come back and say “you don’t have to leave, work remote” you’re not even speaking the same language.

I actually co-founded a non-profit to address this to the extent that I can with entreprenuership training in the Appalachian region. I think building up the area and creating successful businesses where people live is the way to go.

I hope that what I said here makes sense. It’s based on my own work and experience,

Thank you
I see it on HN all the time. People are literally telling others to assume their equity grant is $0. People are even saying this of private late stage startups that issue RSUs.

If you want to make a gambling analogy, I’d say making money off your equity grant at an early stage company is more like playing Roulette (with a better payout) than buying a lottery ticket. Sure, it’s uncommon to win (in this case hit your number) but it happens with decent frequency.

I doubt that would make sense financially. Prior to 2017, there was a 5% transfer tax on medallion sales [0]. I believe they would also have to pay either a capital gains tax or treat the gains from the sale as income. It would be a very expensive strategy to get a paper uptick in the last recorded sale price that you may or may not benefit from. And there are all sorts of other regulations that manipulate the market and distort sales. For instance prior to 2017 owners of single medallions were limited to selling to someone who doesn’t already own one [0]. The sales from one member to another could have just been a family business arrangement where one group of individuals brings in another business partner.

Instead of some bizarre conspiracy theory about unnamed group of individuals that can manipulate prices, lure just the right speculators at the very peak and move on, why can't it just be that there are some speculators that did well and others that entered too late and lost out? Why does everything have to be viewed as a victim/victimizer paradigm?

If people were willing to retrain, your concept might work.

But in all the cases I’ve seen so far, most of these people built their whole identities around being a coal miner or an automobile assembly line person. That’s the only thing they know how to do, and the only thing they are willing to do. Nothing less than the exact same thing will suffice.

In the case of widespread intransigence, I don’t see how you can solve this problem. Those people are going to be out of a job, in a career that doesn’t exist any more, having wrapped their entire concept of existence around something that simply no longer exists.

Yes, I agree that we as a society need to take care of them, otherwise we as a society will be paying a much higher price due to the problems they will cause.

We recognize part of this issue when it comes to soldiers who have come back home from war and are now trying to live during peacetime.

We need to come up with better solutions for people who have been obsoleted by the March of technology.
Exactly correct, but this is when he wasn't God-moding. 2017 believe no evidence of cheating. 2018 just one episode (Aug 22) where it was likely. Much of 2019 sessions he was super using/god-moding though. All the streams that he is a normalish player is actually some of the most damning evidence. He doesn't even resemble the same sort of player. Everything is different. All of the physical tells (touching the hat and gazing down at crotch while pretending to look at cards) and cheating indications are no longer present, and he never gets into the type of hand situations and/or crazy moves and perfect-for-all-the-hands decisions he was making in God mode.

> Any career change is non-trivial for a mid-career worker and it's probably unrealistic that a majority of blue-collar workers would be able to transition into software jobs.

Unrealistic in what sense? That most people are unable to learn managing state and code flow?

I never hear anybody say "it is unrealistic for workers to learn Spanish/Russian/Mandarin/Japanese", yet I really feel basic programming is even easier to learn than a spoken language.
HIView was up to date and documented, and there were WWDC sessions teaching developers why they should move to HIView and how to do it. Likewise, Apple provided documentation about how to port your Carbon application to 64 bit Carbon. Maxon reportedly even had a 64bit Carbon version of Cinema 4D ready to ship when Apple suddenly announced that they would abandon 64bit Carbon - telling developers to disregard the 64bit Carbon they were still shipping in betas.
Hinduism can not be compared with Judaism. Hinduism is fundamentally build to protect the Brahmin supremacy and caste system is used to deny access to education to the majority of people and to control the society by the priestly class. All the scriptures are there to divert the attention from the main subject when questioned. This essay "Annihilation of caste" by Ambedkar http://www.ambedkar.org/ambcd/02.Annihilation%20of%20Caste.h... gives a factual reasoning behind the construction of Hinduism. Its short but full of verifiable facts. Especially for a non-indian this is a must read if you want to understand the Hindu society.
Even more exciting, this is already present in go1.13. I believe the author of these slides made a mistake.

Really? The title itself says, "Deep Learning: Our Miraculous Year 1990-1991". It's an account of their work during that year. And he cites like a 100 articles there.

This kind of rhetoric was partly responsible for why he didn't receive the Turing award last year which he thoroughly deserved. We seem incapable of appreciating achievements of people who don't match our ideal of personality type.
>Isn’t a city walkable by definition?

Not really. Even if you can walk to a restaurant from a company or your apartment/condo/house, if you still have to routinely take cars and/or public transit to do most things, that city isn't very walkable.

A lot of cities have specific areas that are fairly walkable but those areas may be pretty small and/or not particularly mixed use--so you still need to mostly drive.

It’s not just a matter of efficiency. Investment in nuclear has major collateral effects that investment into wind and solar does not have. You won’t have wind powered spaceships. You can’t use wind power to for weapons or aircraft carriers. Nuclear fusion is going to be the bedrock of the next generation of world superpowers. Wind and solar are technological dead ends.

You can't reverse diabetes and heart disease with stress management, but its a well-documented scientific fact that a plant-based diet can do that.

By reversing, I mean stopping and reversing the progression of symptoms, not cure every single person completely with it.

This means clogged arteries (with cholesterol, not calcified arteries) start to open up, and diabetics reduce or get off their insulin completely in well-documented cases.
Glad you watched the content and came back to reply.

Yea, I know. And since they track people by tax returns it can't literally be the rich newcomers who are the today datapoint. But I'm still pretty dubious about the causality they claim.
Do electric cars really have far fewer parts? Will this mean they'll become far more reliable and require less maintenance? I know expensive Teslas apparently are like this but what about the budget cars to be?
Explain to me a framework for determining victimhood.

> For him to be regarded as a 'speculator' in this context ─ he could have averted financial ruin by conducting due diligence before acquiring toxic assets and/or hedge his bets.

Is the term speculator contingent on financial success?

> If one were to consider him opportunistic, he should have been savvy enough to know, when to get out and leave others holding the bag.

Is opportunistic contingent on someone being able to tell the future and know when prices are at their peak?

> Since, he seems to have exhibited none of the predatory behaviour associated with a conman

I imagine he wasn't using all 15 of his medallions simultaneously. Presumably he was renting out his medallions to other and profiting off their labour. Is this predatory?

> it is a bit presumptuous to speculate on his villainous tendencies.

You miss my point. I reject the entire notion of victim and victimizers in this context. The analogy doesn't fit. If you buy 15 of a valuable and high growth asset on credit, you're a speculator. And that's fine. There are no villains here, just some who were fortunate in timing and other who were less fortunate.

As I have said in a number of these types of threads, saying we will pay people off / implement UBI as a solution to reduced participation in the labor force dramatically underestimates the complexity of the problems of automation / globalization / de-industrialization. Most people want to work; they derive self-esteem from their labor and for being a provider; and status is awarded by society depending on the type of job you work and your position in an entity (eg CEO, foreman, etc). Being unemployed / on benefits in America is strongly looked down on and stigmatized. People don't want "hand outs" or "charity", they want to do something to generate value. While I agree that we will ultimately have to pursue some sort of UBI or payoff solution, implementing it requires a complete cultural shift in the way we think about work which will likely be a difficult uphill battle. People go all in on retraining (even though it obviously can't work for everyone) because retraining fits well into American culture without controversy.

I used to think that until I tried teaching people programming a few times, it's hard work, and a lot of people don't find it enjoyable.
