But, i can see the crease in those screenshots >_>

Foldable displays are probably the future, but they need to be actual value (like a significantly larger display) for them to properly take off. Waiting to see the next generation Samsung phones, should be interesting once they get the form factor right.
The novelty will wear off quickly. The phone’s success will depend on the software. It’s thin and so going full screen makes no sense. Will it let me multitask with movie playing half and note editing in the other? How is the long thin screen going to make it better than a regular phone?
Based on the interviews with Jon Carmack, he is very intelligent, realistic, reflective. Therefore, he realistically estimates his skills and the complexity of a problem. He said he would possible make an impact - and he can - by potentially attracting more attention to the field from researchers and investors, by building tools, that would help in researching the problem, by, at least, showing promising paths. He may start to dig into the problem in “Victorian Gentleman Scientist” style, but then attract investments and scale up. We can speculate and guess - time will show, fingers crossed.

This “Victorian Gentleman Scientist” style is something I am longing for. I cannot go back to the academia now with family, or spend large chunks of my time on any research, but I really want to be able to afford it. Sure, most probably, I ll become soon disillusioned with the routine of a researcher, or jump between topics of research, or just did not contribute anything meaningful, but I'd really wish there was a possibility for me, other people to afford such lifestyle.

Thanks for the explanation. We could debate whether that’s science or not, but I don’t think it’d be particularly productive and we’ve already gone a bit off topic.

Final thought from me - I was thinking about your post and it is indeed difficult to discern science from engineering. One dichotomy that occurred to me (which may not hold under close scrutiny) is that scientists are interested in _the pursuit of truth_, whereas engineers are interested in _building things_.
I'm not disagreeing, but it doesn't really matter how high the quality of the content is on any site, more people on HN are going to complain about the presence of javascript and attempts at monetization than will ever bother to read the article.

The left has been co-opted by corporations. They have used liberal policies to water down the cost of labour through mass immigration. They use trade agreements to decentralize their labour to avoid disruptions from unrest. They use social benefits as subsidies for their businesses. They have used identity politics to break down the family unit to create more consumers. Tyranny is a reaction to people getting really unhappy with corporate control.
In fairness, my Samsung S7 will happily last 2-3 days on a charge if I put it in "ultra power saving mode" (and this is a 3 year old device). And this still allows me to make calls/texts, use WhatsApp, the camera, and browse the internet. The Nokia 6120 presumably couldn't ever do much more than that.

The science of mind mapping: a visual way to make sense of the world
That's quite a response! It sounds as if the authors of the paper would have done well to verify some of their factual assumptions with Morningstar prior to publication.

Some key points from the response:

On the apparent discrepancy between Morningstar's data and self-reported data:

> Because Morningstar’s proprietary methodology for calculating Average Credit Quality particularly penalizes unrated holdings by assigning them a low rating (B or BB), it is not surprising that the authors would find Morningstar’s calculated data to produce a lower average credit quality than self-reported data. When we control for not-rated holdings, we do not find a similar pattern.

How category classification is assigned:

> Throughout the paper, the authors conflate where a fund lands in the Fixed-Income Style Box with its Morningstar Category. In reality, Morningstar’s Fixed-Income Style Box assignment and Morningstar Categories are distinct. Morningstar does not use a fund’s Morningstar Fixed-Income Style Box assignment to determine its category classification.

How star rating is assigned:

> A fund’s star rating is calculated based on past performance relative to peers in its Morningstar Category – rather than relative to funds that share its Fixed-Income Style Box placement, as described above.

Fascinating. I admit I only read the intro section but bookmarked for later. The page "on being interdisciplinary" with a kind of taxonomy of interdisciplinary work is really interesting.

I wonder what the author would have to say about the possibilities of "Spatial Computing" with AR that seems to be the next big buzz? It seems like spatial computing is all about manipulating data in a highly visual format.
While I'm a big Arango fan, I was hoping the team could create shared clusters for a lot cheaper. Not exactly for my sake, but to help onboard people. For example, get a free DB with a RAM, bandwidth and storage limit, just to try it out. Then of course a $50 price tier for more resources would be great. Right now, the cost of entry is about $150+ USD.

I'm in a situation where I've been trying to, almost for practice, scale my app before release. That means learning Kubernetes and CDNs and more. Because it's a side project in my spare time, I was haemorrhaging money to GCP, in part because of the ArangoDB.

I'm still not very confident in my scaling or sharding skills. I've lost data a few times. A $0, $15 or $50 learner plan would really help me stay on board and evangelize it. Take a look at mLab/MongoDB Atlas: https://mlab.com/plans/pricing/ ($0, $15 and $150 plans).

Lastly, getting deployment options on Alibaba, Huwawei and Linode cloud services would be great. Arango has expanded from Europe and if they don't strike the North American popularity they want, they would be fool-hearty to miss Asian markets--and many of their western customers may ben seeking high availability there. Or just brands better trusted than Western countries.

But yeah, hope I can finally get some reliable Kubernetes!

CSML – A new open-source language dedicated to building chatbots
>When given a problem it has never seen before it was able to acquire knowledge of the problem and then apply that knowledge as to solve the problem. Thats the definition of learning and intelligence that can generally be applied to any problem.

It can't be applied to any problem though. Take the example i gave elsewhere of a game where you provide the rules, and as the game progresses the rules change. There are real games that work like this, generally card games where the cards contain the rules, so as more cards come into play the rules change. Alpha Zero cannot play such games, because there isn't even a way to provide it with the rules.

>> I think it's becoming clear that they are merely cognitive tools we bring to bear in the service of our higher level general intelligence machinery.
>
>What are you on about? Cognition and intelligence are the same thing if it's capable of cognition or as you put it applying "cognitive tools" then it's capable of intelligence.

I'm saying that human minds apply many cognitive tools, and that Alphago is like one of those tools. It's not like the part choosing and deploying those tools, which is the really interesting and smart part of the system.

The human brain consists of a whole plethora of different cognitive mechanisms. Cognition is a broad term of a huge variety of mechanisms, none of which by themselves constitute all of intelligence. A lot of people look at Alphago and say aha, that's intelligence because it does something we do. Yes, but it only does a tiny, specialist fragment of what we do, and not even one of the most interesting parts.
> Agreed about the meaningful choices and dynamically generated reactions from NPC, but general AI is not needed for this in my opinion.

Maybe, but it would be an impressive demonstration of AI that would be very different to what has shown for Go, Chess and StarCraft.

I think a compelling AI written short story for example would be leagues ahead of what is required to write a convincing chatbot e.g. you need an overarching plot, subplots, multiple characters interacting in the world, having to track characters beliefs and knowledge, tracking what the reader must be thinking/feeling.

It would likely rely a lot on understanding real-world and culture knowledge though - Go and StarCraft are much cleaner in comparison.

> A percentage of vocal players will complain no matter what.

Yep, but I can't think of a single game that has a plot that meaningfully adapts to how the player plays. Either there's many endings but the path to get to each is short, or all the choices converge quickly back into the same path.

Again, please correct me if I'm wrong but I've look quite hard for examples of innovation in the above recently and haven't found much. You can find examples of papers on e.g. automated story generation or game quest generation on Google Scholar from the last 10 years but the examples I found weren't that compelling.
There's one other consideration: with a flip phone, the screen can be protected by a hard surface where scratches don't affect usage.

If they have an Apple-class thumbprint / face scanner with basically unnoticeable delay, the slight delay for flipping it open might be a reasonable tradeoff for the huge durability improvements for active people and there could be some nice mitigation techniques such as their small display for anyone who doesn't want to flip it open to see if they have a message.

Yes, there will probably be roles for small companies serving smaller demographics, but I meant to point out the weakening position of standalone media companies. The power is in the hands of the owners of the infrastructure, except for Disney who I think has an exceptional ownership of desirable content.

Apple I put on there because they can afford to burn so many dollars, it puts them in league with Comcast and ATT and Disney. The other media companies don't have a rent collecting cash cow to lean on.
'I presume it should have become a gigantic pile of outdated and barely maintainable code.' Apart from how this may or may not apply to gcc this attitude is much of what is wrong with the programming profession. When good developers work on something it should get better over time. If that does not describe the quality of your own work you have some improving to do.
I mean there is a definite performance gain from Java to Go, although I would agree most people probably wouldn't hit it - but if its just as easy to write, might as well use the better language. On top of that Go makes concurrency so much easier to factor in and program with, which in the backend server space is a very important asset over Java.

As an interesting addendum, I found this to be a really interesting resource when comparing languages at a very base level, as it is very well written and you can actually look at the source code/ thesis papers for all of the implementations:

I’m sure the evidence is out there, but I have so many first hand experiences of people having health issues from vegan diets, that I’m not terribly motivated to go out and look for it.

When I was in high school, I had a few friends who tried to go vegan. One fainted in the shower, another fainted during track and field, one was falling asleep in class all the time. As soon as they went back to their normal diet, everything went back to normal for them. In first year university, a friend lost 30lbs and became very emaciated from their vegan diet.

You could say “they were doing vegan diets wrong” and I would agree. That’s the point. It’s extremely hard to do vegan diets “right”.

Learning is critical work too, perhaps recognising that as a responsibility (to the family and wider society) might be a good idea.

It's really true, in my experience. I managed a team in a company that used Spring Boot for services and batch jobs and Python for data and analytics (including ML). My team had its feet in both worlds so I had to hire for that. My experience trying to find programmers who could code and engineer first and not be slaves to the Spring framework was quite terrible in this context.

Another thing of note: the python side of the team could regularly move across and help with bugs or issues in our services and jobs, but the reverse was rarely true. In the 2+ years I had that team there was one person hired for the services side who could do it, and he preferred Go to either Java or Python.
It's sort of an ongoing hobby of mine to study the forces of decentralization vs centralization.

This article about decentralization does what many other evangelism articles do: talk about the ideals and benefits.

However, I believed what's rarely discussed but more important is the economic forces that prevent decentralization from fulfilling the idealists' vision. Yes, decentralization will be in effect for niche groups but I don't see it becoming mainstream.

To purposely be provocative to spur discussion, I will make a bold claim: Decentralization is an unstable equilibrium. It's the centralization that becomes the stable status quo.

If tpcip protocol and http protocol are already decentralized, why do we have centralized services that have "too much power" such as Facebook/Google/Youtube? It's because different actors can spend more money on their particular http node than other http nodes. Those unequal economic forces is what makes decentralization tend towards centralization. There is no technical protocol specification that can prevent that.

E.g. if Git protocol is decentralized, why is there so much concentration on Github? It's because John doesn't want to install a git server on his laptop and punch a DMZ hole through his home router and leave his laptop up & running 24 hours a day to serve up his git repo. He'd rather spend the weekend playing with his children. And Jane doesn't want to spend $30 on a Raspberry Pi and install Gitlab on it to serve up her git repo. Multiply John and Jane's by a million other devs with their own various reasons for not serving up their git repos in a decentralized manner and the emergent phenomenon you get is something like Github.

See the trend? Centralization is a natural outcome of millions of people not wanting to (1) spend money and (2) not wanting to spend extra time -- to fulfill ideals of decentralization.

I wish we would discuss the above factors much more often and there were more articles about it.
Well, yes. They failed to be the next big thing. (Maybe they are profitable in a small market, or maybe they are living on VC?)
