This is a great idea. There's a lot of possibilities in tools/services which allow creators to monetize easily. Do you think there is an opportunity to allow sharing outside of Instagram? I.e licensing photos for use in articles, blogs, etc? Or is part of the advantage here that Instagram is a walled garden of sorts, where it's more difficult to steal a user's image?

Sega with the previous generation consoles burn consumer and developers alike.
People were reluctant to buy the Dreamcast, PS2 hyper machine was also making exaggerated claims about the PS2 when magazines interviewed random people at EB Games and baggage the all said the would wait for the PS2.

Someone did an in depth analysis of the Dreamcast sales as related to piracy. If piracy was such an issue then sales of the console itself should have increased because people were buying the console and not game but this was not the case. Console sales never increased.

People who claim the Dreamcast die due to piracy simply do not know SEGA's history
Scott Aaronson now has a detailed analysis and covers the IBM claims as well:

>To that end, I'd like to see what you get if you first fine tune on RapGenius to learn general things like song structure, rhyme, etc, then fine tune even further on the Beatles corpus. I suspect you'd get much nicer, less memorized songs.

OT: Is that how fine-tuning actually works with GPT-2? It makes sense that it'd just be strengthening connections on the most-recently-fine-tuned corpus, with previous fine-tunes still around in some way.

Should you expect that first fine tune to pick up and solidify song structure, rhyme, etc, and the second fine tune to keep those concepts in place while muddying up other aspects like the specific lyrics used?

(Hope this doesn't come off as "you're wrong" or too off topic -- I'm just very interested and would love to read more about how all this works. :) )

I split it up into two phases:

1. I use Omni Notes (simple note-taking app) and Bear [1] to write down thoughts and longer texts. And a simple voice recording app [2] for bigger ideas that need more words.

2. After this, I evaluate them and add them to my personal wiki. I’m using BookStack [3] which is the best open-source wiki I’ve found. Every aspect of my life gets its own book with chapters and pages. It’s a pretty straight-forward structure.

I'm using this process for a year and it served me well (understanding life goals, writing down business ideas, structuring knowledge). Next step is bookmark management, I'll probably try out Shiori [4] (was once featured in a Show HN).

It's his formal training, he is a licensed acupuncturist. The man has absolutely no business talking about heart disease, especially with an experienced cardiologist.

The problem of putting someone with acupuncture training debating a cardiologist is that, in the eyes of that huge audience, he presents those opinions as perfectly equivalent, alternative to each other and equally valid.

When in fact, one person has basically no idea of what he is talking about, but in the eyes of the public, and because they are put side by side, they are seen as equivalent when they are not.

Why not put him against a non-vegan cardiologist then? Someone at least with equivalent training.

From a scientific point of view, the only diet that as ever shown to stop the progression of heart disease is a whole-food plant-based diet.

Quantum supremacy is a big deal. It is a goddamn experimental evidence against Extended Church-Turing Thesis. If you never believed ECT (for example, all physicists seem to think ECT is obviously false) it may not matter to you, but it still is a serious claim.

Yes, Google probably can achieve quantum supremacy by slapping a few more qubits. But a few more qubits were, in fact, not slapped yet. So quantum supremacy is very much not achieved, and Google should not claim so.

I'm a little worried about something in quantum computing.

If I treat my quantum computer as just a channel for sending a message to myself I think I can invoke the channel capacity theorem. Furthermore, I think that if I try to read an entangled state, it's as if I am reading the entire state all at once, so the maximum number of bits I should be able to read is bounded by the logarithm of the ratio of the signal to the noise, where noise scales with temperature. That number doesn't scale well. It suggests that if I want to read an additional bit from a quantum computation, I need to drop the temperature by half.

Furthermore, I introduce heat to my quantum computer when I input the state. I must construct the input to my quantum computer from a uniform mixture by the no cloning principle. This is going to generate heat, and the rate at which I can dissipate that heat is bounded by the speed of light, This gives me an upper bound on my temperature of O(1/t^3) assuming extremely optimal heat dissipation. This means that the time required to cool my state to the point where I can read n entangled bits is exponential in n, right?

> Cheating does happen on PC. I've seen it maybe twice in the last 15 years. Wouldn't call that rampant.

I think I can safely say that every competitive online game with a sizeable player base has a cheating problem. How bad that problem is varies - my impression is that Overwatch is pretty good (I've never noticed cheaters, only heard reports), whereas Rainbow 6 Siege is much worse - I have noticed cheaters several times and have had MMR awarded due to matches lost to people later banned for cheating.
>We have proven that any sorting algorithm working with comparisons can at best be O(n*log(n)) fast, it's impossible for a faster classical algorithm to exist.

You can have a faster classical algorithm if it's distributed across n threads for a size n array. For each index i in an array arr, spawn a thread that counts the number of values in arr that are less than arr[i] (an O(n) linear scan), call this x, then do outputArray[x] = (arr[i], 1), where outputArray is initialised to all zeros. If outputArray[x] already exists, instead increment the second term (count) in the tuple. Once all threads are finished, then outputArray will contain the sorted values and the count of duplicate values (so this only works if !(x < y) && !(y < x) implies y == x). Each thread does O(n) work, so total work is O(n^2), but because the threads all run in parallel, the runtime is only O(n).

> Going to the app-store allows for reading opinions (i.e. somewhat independent) compared to just clicking, go-on. It shows some download/usage statistics and the like.

That's a great point! Browsers could perhaps start to include metrics like these for website permissions. For example, when the Web Browser prompts for USB access, show metrics like how many people have granted permission to Bluetooth for this website, perhaps even room for comments and ratings. Chrome is afterall trying to be your next app store.
This is an absurd comparison that makes zero sense on the face of it.

People don’t give up any freedom when they choose Apple products.

It’s a feature of a democracy that you can decide to contract any third parties you like to carry out professional services - such as verifying software quality, or protecting the privacy of your data.

Anyone who doesn’t like Apple’s services can simply buy Android, which explicitly offers openness as a differentiator.

The comparison between a managed software store and an authoritarian regime makes no sense at all precisely because you can leave.

>Quantum mechanics is about a 100 years old, and no violation has even been observed in laboratory, particle accelerators or outer space. The quantum theory is the most accurate theory we ever had in the history, tested to less than 1 in a billion precision.

sorry, i think you're doing a slew of hands here. Quantum computing relies not just on QM, it relies on Copenhagen interpretation of it - superposition being a physical reality, not just statistical description. That interpretation is tested by the Bell experiments and granted where have been a bunch of them which do look like confirming the Copenhagen.

>Even classical computers rely on it.

all that confirms QM, not the Copenhagen interpretation.
Wrt. Google supremacy demonstration - it would work the same in statistical aggregate interpretation too thus actually not showing anything quantum computing.

Why would it be difficult? Are you thinking of ex post facto doctrine? That really only applies to criminal penalties. A good, long-term contract should require that if some part of it is invalidated by changes to law (or a court finds that it violates existing law), then the parties can or must renegotiate that part but the rest of the contract survives, or alternatively that the entire contract becomes void if that's what the parties want. There really isn't a way to include a clause in a contract that says the parties are free to ignore changes in laws.

Personally I use acceptance ;) Which I think is an important ingredient that most Dutch citizens learn as they start cycling to high school regardless of weather: it won't always be pleasant. In the rain I'll get wet, no biggy. At work I won't be the only one putting a coat and shoes on the heater to dry. Some discomfort is present in all modes of transport, this is the one I chose to put up with.

I also use a raincoat with cap and rain pants, which should fall over your shoes. However, I only use this in heavy rain, because with light rain I get wet anyway from my own sweat (wet rain gear usually does not breathe enough for me).

Then there is the rain radar [1], but is probably not available for your locale ;)

The majority of the money comes from providing ongoing service agreements after we finish the website. For 2019 I'll close around $800,000 which is about a 90% revenue growth over 2018. I'll draw a salary of $200,000. I've got some good prospects lined up for 2020 and believe I'll get up to $1.1m

People rewrite C and C++ software in Go too. In fact, unlike Rust, most Go software has no C dependencies at all. This is precisely the result of rewriting everything in Go.

To be clear I’m not suggesting you should always rewrite something versus just wrap it, not at all. I’m just saying the reasoning for not doing it being “you didn’t write the original so what do you know” is very offensive to me; how are you supposed to learn?! People write NES emulators all the time even though they already exist. While most are purely for practice it doesn’t really matter: they wanted to write it, they wrote it, they learned. Discouraging people from writing something that they want to write is upsetting to me.
