Not sure why one would use this over Uber’s Pyro, which is built in python on top of Pytorch and has a similar feature set.

Also worth pointing out that, like all current gen PPLs, the word “Universal” is highly misleading, as only variables that are the result of a sample statement can be observed (since HMC, IS, and others require closed form conditional likelihood’s for observed variables). This rules out use cases such as observing noiseless aggregates of noisy signals (any workaround is a fudge and will put strain on the inference algorithms capacity for search).

Only a PPL with support for likelihood free inference techniques (few of which work very well as of today) could be considered truly “Universal”.
how does that work? I know from OJ that FL law protects the home, but will you have a $50 Million home with all the expenses but that cannot sell? Maybe he can borrow against it...

But I doubt he'll get sued. Unless he fudged the numbers it isn't his fault that supposedly sophisticated suckers gave him money.
It's ok to feel things on HN. Intellectual curiosity, the core value of the site, is a feeling.
Money laundering law essentially originates with the USA and works like this: if you move money around, you have to stop criminals using your services and report anything suspicious to the authorities.

Failure is transitive. If Bank A provides services to Bank B and Bank B opens an account for someone who later turns out to have been a drug dealer, then the management of Bank A can be criminally prosecuted.

Still, that doesn't sound so bad, does it? Only one tiny problem. The penalty for failing to stop criminals is that you, yourself, Mr CEO of the bank, become a criminal too and conscious participation in crime is not required. That you tried hard to fight crime is no excuse. Failure to stop crime IS crime, end of story.

Obviously it didn't start out this way. The original laws were interpreted as is normal, with a mens rea requirement, i.e. you had to actually intend to break the law. That was removed in the general freakout following Sept 11th in the PATRIOT Act, although I'm sure it'd have been removed at some point anyway because really, you can't stop terrorism through the banking system. Terrorist attacks are invariably very cheap, far too cheap to spot from the desk of a banker. Nonetheless, this pernicious result persisted.

Anti money laundering doesn't work that well if it's restricted to one country. Criminals can just insert their illegitimate money in some other country and wire to the first. So AML has to be a global system if it's to have any chance of being effective. Thus the "FATF" was set up and became one of the many obscure international organisations that that make up so-called international law, who are beholden to nobody, and whose powers are effectively written into the regulations of every country. FATF got this power because the USA threatened to ban any country that didn't comply from using the dollar. Once you agree to obey the FATF's "recommendations" a country is itself required to blacklist any country that doesn't, so, eventually more or less every country has fallen into line.

So the best way to answer your question is:

1. FATF is an international organisation that sets the global AML rules.

2. Nothing gives them any democratic legitimacy. There is nothing you can do if you disagree with their decisions, not even voting for new politicians, not unless you want to start a financial/banking war with the entire world simultaneously.

3. Why: because the system propagates itself. That's what it's designed to do.

The way moderator post repromoting via the second-chance pool works will cause such a discrepancy in the API.

It is not ideal.
Okay, I understand everything you're saying, so let me put this as simply as possible.

Let's posit that we're taking local measurements and using them to determine UEIS/UEOS.

We know it's possible to do a whole bunch of abstract math and get an answer, without involving remote galaxies.

But maybe that's hard math to do.

What if it's easier to extrapolate our measurements to a remote galaxy?

So we calculate what telescopes would show in a remote galaxy as an intermediate step.

And from that we actually determine UEIS/UEOS.

That would be a non-circular argument, in which the deduced remote measurements are a necessary step.

It's not the only argument we could have made, but it's a useful and valid one.

Is that hypothetical argument detailed enough to satisfy you? It's something that should apply to just about any measurements. There's an unlimited number of ways to prove anything. There's no reason "deduced remote telescope measurements" can't be an intermediate step for all sorts of proofs that look at stars for data.

> Update: Let's look at it from the other direction: if your deduced remote measurements do not differ depending on whether you assume UEIS or UEOS, then how are they going to resolve the issue? This is what makes Swebs' argument an invalid one.

I know that my local measurements will differ based on UEIS/UEOS. But I don't know specifically how. Just looking at my local measurements by themselves, I have no idea which one they support. And in the process of deducing the remote measurements, I don't assume either one. I just plug in the numbers.

If you want a math analogy, then uhhh think of the local measurements as a composite number, and factoring it to deduce the remote measurements? And the question we ultimately want to answer can easily be solved with the prime factors.

It would be possible to calculate the answer without factoring, but much harder.

And factoring does not depend on assuming the answer. It's just factoring. It depends only on the composite number.

What would be a good strategy to start small with an alternative to plastic. Without bumping into the trillion dollar industry head on and losing?
Yes okay I agree with that sentiment. I think I just disagree with the wording, of mocking entire people instead of their undesirable behavior. Lots of “bad behavior” I think is honest mistakes, particularly for young outsiders who may struggle to understand the signal for the noise of SV. In those cases it’s easy to mock, but more helpful to provide guidance.

Edit: nice to see you here too! And the video was great. Very clear communicator. Sorry I harped on the "mocking" comment, and I'm guilty of it too sometimes, but I remember that for a lot of people who grew up far from the Valley, most of what they see is the "B.S." part of the pitches and they don't get to witness the more boring grind that is the majority of the truth. So sometimes they're just emulating the wrong parts and could benefit from guidance! That being said, you probably have interacted with 100x more startups than I have, so maybe my view of the dark patterns is a bit naive.
Taxing raw materials instead of labor would incentivize more sustainable practices, but the unintended consequence is that it would disproportionately affect people lower in societies social hierarchy.
If you are a truck driver or construction contractor (blue collar) your productivity depends on resource consumption. Whereas if you are in finance or software (white collar), your productivity will not be affected by your consumption, aside from the purchase of a new computer every few years.
We would be giving up our progressive tax system. If you tried to keep elements of a progressive tax system, the rich would shift their consumption to the poor who would be taxed less for raw material consumption and we’d have very similar incentives to today, though with more wealth shifting to the poor. You could do a rebate program, where people with lower incomes get paid back the money they would have made without the tax system, but now we’re talking about setting up a bureaucracy to do means testing on significant proportions of the population, who would be least likely to take advantage of tax loopholes.
I’m trying to think of ways to keep this idea from being a regressive tax, but I’m failing. Anyone have wisdom?
> You should always be worried about giving the government - the one entity that can take away your property, liberty and life more power.

In the day of company towns, your livelihood could be taken away at the whim of the company. A business relying on one of the app stores can be (and frequently is) ruined overnight by getting an opaque, unappealable, unexplained ban. Thousands died in the Bhopal disaster due to lax safety, and people have died being wrongly denied insurance they paid for [1]. Entire governments have been toppled by corporations [2]. "beyond question ... the dominant position of the Standard Oil Co. in the refining industry was due to unfair practices—to abuse of the control of pipe-lines, to railroad discriminations, and to unfair methods of competition in the sale of the refined petroleum products" [3] Oil companies knew their product caused global warming, and that it would have global adverse effects, and actively prevented measures against it to be taken, with lobbying and deception [4].

Thinking the government is the only threat to property, liberty, and life, isn't myopic - it's blind. All of feudalism can be re-cast to just landowners exercising their property rights - if the serfs don't like the terms of use, they can find their own land.

You also seem to be working under the assumption that it doesn't matter what kind of 'power' we give to the government. Just more=bad, less=good. There's a huge difference between expanding environmental protections or social programs, and increasing the length of jail terms, the scope of surveillance, and anti-circumvention laws.

Exactly this. Recently Xoom and Western Union banned a friend from sending monthly remittances to his relatives back in Africa; he sends like $100 each, to eight relatives in Africa. First Western Union banned him, because it found him suspicious. Later, Xoom also banned him. Weird excuse was that some bank/store clerk in Africa has suspicions about these transactions.

It doesn't like it's too difficult to have assumed this would be the outcome.

Mechanics are naturally curious, they figure stuff out through experimentation. One of the characters in the Electric Koolaid Acid Test, was Hassler. He kept the magic bus going. Or the NZ guy who set a land speed record on a homebuilt motorcycle. Or just about every NASCAR team in the ‘60’s. Motoring is full of characters like these, not formally schooled, but schooled in practice. You don’t need an EE, ME or any schooling at all, you need a willingness to bust knuckles, take things apart put them back again, take them apart, modify them and put them again over and over.
This decision has nothing to do with the financial sector in Iceland. It is the government that has allegedly failed to implement some required changes, specifically it is some software that some government agency is supposed to be running already.

Hey, don't take such criticism personally. It's just internet spout. It's awesome how far you've come. Things that are worthwhile often take longer than expected. The key is for creators to limit or pad public-facing estimates as their projects grow toward completion. It's not easy to temper the innate ambition and passion that drives projects into existence as they mature.

I've gotten better at this but it's taken a couple decades and I've still not mastered it. I figure I'm in good company. Steve Jobs developed this ability between his stints at Apple and Elon Musk is still working on it.

I'd never downvote an unpopular comment just because it's unpopular - as long as it is backed by arguments.
So, not down-voted, but I do disagree. Not all disease is a choice. It's not true that surviving, say cancer, is simply a choice to "fight" or diet properly (even if retro-actively, i.e. could have been prevented by said diet).
Just as an example, a BRCA-1 gene mutation (not a choice) hands you an 80% life-time risk of getting breast cancer. Usually this is an aggressive tripple-negative cancers against which you can "fight" or diet as hard as you like, but where "victory" is simply going to be out of reach.

Didn't downvote you but your first comment I found vacuous. "Possibly", "could pump", "I was informed...I've no experience of it".

Your second comment then asserts things which may very well be true, but would be more believable with some references.
Fighting inflammation has worked out much better for me than targeting any specific type of issue. As an example, bromelain, curbs sinus inflammation which reduces the number of sinus infections in some people.

> things like nation states or big economic interests or religions exist because of death anxiety

Interesting, it makes sense on the surface but not if you dig dipper. I doubt that this fear has ANY impact on nation states or big economics, fear of death is very well situated and certain conditions must be met to trigger it, meaning it's not predictable, not constant, and can not be a major driver in global politics or economics. Sex and mating on the other hand, is a completely different story, I find the idea of sex being the major factor, influencer, and driver behind global trends and economics a lot more plausible (I'm a Freud's fan)

I think my broader criticism of this complaint is that they aren't considering the pre-requisite mastery problem.

> Here’s an example that I think would be better to use instead: the `Visible` hierarchy in [Pygmusic][], which is a kind of software drum machine. A `Timer` is a horizontal strip on the screen with a stripe racing across it. A `NumericHalo` is a spreading ripple on the screen that fades.

That's how someone experienced in OOP is going to do it. The problem is that this depends on experience and knowledge of how such a system works.

I don't think this would be significantly better than the Vehicle-Car examples, because your target audience is seeing this odd layout and you aren't likely able to give them reasons why it should be that way.

To fully explain yourself would require information you can't reasonably impart in a tutorial. You know why it's done that way, but the underlying rules are obvious and intuitive to you because you worked on them long enough.

These rules manifest in a trained developer as an intuition that is developed by the feedback of doing things and failing or succeeding. Maybe they could be expressed mathematically, but it'd probably be very specialized math like advanced linguistics.

> In good OO programming, we don’t make class hierarchies in order to satisfy our inner Linnaeus. We make class hierarchies in order to simplify the code by allowing different parts of it to be changed independently of each other, and to eliminate duplication

Maybe we should really stop talking about "objects" and "classes" entirely?

Non-OOP structured programming doesn't have this problem; it's hard to grasp exactly when two subroutines are overly coupled, but it's easy to explain that sharing state and having action at a distance is a bad idea. And, generally, it's just not claiming any subroutine represents a real life "object". The only hierarchy imposed is the hierarchy of control flow.

I thought that it was karma that led to your being born in an age in which a Buddha had existed, karma that led to you encountering the teachings, karma that led to you being able to become a monk, karma that led to your introduction to a teacher, and karma that led to your success in your practice. Nearly everything about the path is determined by karma, no?

But all of that kind of karma results from kind (or skillful) actions, and I think the idea is that those moral/immoral actions have to be deliberate, to have any impact on your karma. The way I heard it, most actions that bear at all karma, only bear on karma for this life; actions that create heavy-lifting, multi-life karma are rare.

See why I think the guy might be a Buddhist?

The success of the wild salmon isn’t just down to a “hardy upbringing”, though; it mostly comes down to the fact that, for every one wild adult salmon we see, there are thousands that died (probably by being eaten) as eggs or fry. That’s a huge selection pressure toward inclusive genetic fitness, such that genetic fitness in the wild population as a whole is maintained at a high level over generations.

I’m not sure there’s really a way to translate that effect to human beings in any ethical way, regardless of how you feel about safety. It’d go well beyond “not coddling.” (In fact, I’m not even sure if it’s possible for an apex predator to be R-selected. We’d likely have to do it ourselves, Battle Royale style.)

Only one layer of synthetic liner, I think that says enough. All it takes is a single tear that could have even happened with installation, or maybe the sand layers aren't as thick as what's recommended and as garbage is put on top it digs into the sand and rips the synthetic layer.

How much extensive real world testing has been done with this synthetic layers? Is it meant to sit for decades bathing in a chemical soup? Or it is assumed that it'd only get wet? My guess is that they didn't use real world tests where people are throwing out chemicals that shouldn't be put in the garbage.
