Sounds like Chinese people traveling would have the same problems outside China: their usual payment systems don’t work.

It’s good to know that their system is controlled in a way like that, but the only note of value in this article is that one person's repeat visits show that it’s more proprietary than years before.

Would you mind posting a new public key. Thanks! I am very interested in this field as well.

That’s true...people are lazy and costs want to fall, but it’s a little disconcerting in areas that require nuance and detail.

I’m by no means a translator, but it isn’t difficult for me to find sentences where Google Translate simply butchers the nuance of Japanese/English conversions. Things like politeness and tone? Gone.

Maybe it’s better for closer language pairs, but if a professional translator starts with automated translations for an important document, they’re taking a huge risk. Even as an intermediate speaker, the things I am good at (concept understanding, idomatic speech, politeness, tone) are exactly the things that translation tools are bad at, and correcting the errors often just requires re-writing whole paragraphs from scratch.
If you want to spend $0.50 to $1 on delicious Chinese food that is safe, without an app to pay, you should go to Taiwan.

If you want to see traditional Chinese structures (not artificial remakes) you should go to Taiwan.

If you want to learn about Chinese cultures and language, you should go to Taiwan.

If you don’t want to risk going missing in China because you are an American, you should go to Taiwan.

If you don’t want to support organ harvesting on millions of Muslims and religious oppressions in Tibet and democracy oppression in Hong Kong, you should go to Taiwan.

Does NASA never change their requirements mid-project? I've been dreaming of such a job ever since I started working.
I guess what you are saying is:

We all have the same access to system 2.

Like everyone having access to start a car, everyone needs to put in effort to start their car, but someone with low intelligence is like someone who has a car that has 10hp... they will go slower than someone who has a car that has 1000hp. Both can start the car equally is what you are saying.

Fair enough.

I think my point is, below a certain IQ threshold, the HP is virtually 0, and can move little to no distance/speed. Therefore, it's as if it wasn't there. My point is an observation arrived at from the very meanings of the words intelligence/critical thinking, there's really no studies that can 'prove' a word has a meaning. It's simply an agreed upon sound that we associate with concepts.

BTW, the degree of what is done is all I ever meant to get at. Look at my very first reply to you. The word 'degree' is central to my answer.
I happened across the Bezos investment announcement from 2006 yesterday while cleaning up emails:

=======

Hey there-

BEZOS INVESTS IN 37SIGNALS
Today we have a very special announcement to make: Bezos Expeditions, a personal investment company of Jeff Bezos, has made a minority private equity investment in 37signals.

BACKGROUND ON THE DECISION
Over the past two and a half years we've accomplished a lot on our own. We've released 5 products (Basecamp, Backpack, Campfire, Tadalist, and Writeboard) which over 500,000 people have signed up for so far, wrote Getting Real which has sold nearly 20,000 copies in less than six months, changed the web development world by writing and open sourcing the Ruby on Rails framework, presented at conferences around the world, and more. We're proud of what we've been able to do without outside help. But we think we can do even better with the right kind of help. And we're picky.

Since we launched Basecamp we've been contacted by nearly 30 different VC firms. We've never been interested in the typical traditional VC deal. With a few exceptions, all the VCs could offer us was cash and connections. We're fine on both of those fronts. We don't need their money to run the business and our little black book is full. We're looking for something else.

What we've been looking for is the wisdom of a very special entrepreneur who's been through what we're going through. Someone who sees things a little differently and makes us feel right at home. Someone with a long term outlook, not a build-to-flip mentality. We found a perfect match in Jeff. Jeff is our kinda guy.

It will be great learning from Jeff as we build 37signals into one the great companies of the next 20 years. Daniel Burnham, the great visionary architect of Chicago, said, "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will themselves not be realized." We agree. We hope this boost of ambition, and Jeff's personal vote of confidence, will help us achieve our big plans.

So here we go.

-Jason Fried, 37signals
Thank you for the recommendations, taiwanboy

> They haven’t given any space to or said any kind anything about Russia in the last 10 years, nor have they given any space to the pro-Brexit side of the debate.

Signs of a quality publication, surely? There's not a lot of papers saying nice things about a mafia oligarchy state unless they've been paid to do so, and the pro-Brexit arguments are mostly nonsense.

The economist has firmly located itself in an economic and socially liberal policy position, but they're willing to look at other cogently argued positions.
"algorithmic changes" implies the boost is not manual.
What's difficult to install it? I have installed both local and Docker Version. The docker one takes more memory though.
I'm sorry, but I don't see how that answers my question. Oberon-07 has
real FOR loops over arrays, so it doesn't need sentinel values. My
question was about an idiom like:

WHILE True DO
(* Stuff. *)
IF someCondition THEN
EXIT;
END;
(* More stuff. *)
END;

... but it’s clearly a very specific “stack”. It’s a weird way to describe it is what I’m saying.

Developers call themselves “full stack” because they work on frontend and backend (let’s not debate how valid it is in their case) - in this case I think you’d be better off just referencing the specific tech your tool will support provisioning for.

Full stack is essentially like if a classic “lamp” setup tool just said “sets up your server”, and never specified what it sets it up for.
I think envy is instinctual in gregarious animals. It's a mechanism for social balancing. You can't stop the feeling except to be at the top of the social hierarchy. You can control your behavior when you feel it though.

You can practice by surrounding yourself with people better than you. Play games with people better than you. Find mentors.

Grow as a person so you love yourself rather than envy others. Recognize that almost everyone has something you don't. Better than you at something.

Reflect on the great things about yourself. Remember who you are. Where you started.

Be good. Be true to yourself. Develop your moral code. Treat all with respect and love. Including you with all your imperfections.
Saying "creators of property cannot protect their property" implied to me that it is being destroyed.

What is protection supposed to mean there? Happy to expand my definition of that word if I am interpreting it too narrowly.
12% of women is not exactly "rare"! The fact that it did not come out before is telling.

It's interesting to notice how designing screens to use the RGB colors is very limiting for those people.

Imagine living in a world where 94% of people have the same form of color blindness and you don't.

People would randomly mix e.g. blue and green in every place and ignore your comments with a smirk.
Right, it's mostly based on inertia and acceptance. There are 6 figure startup costs to making a new TLD - enough to prevent people from polluting the namespace on a whim, but not out of range for a large coordinated effort.
Apologies if this sounds rude, but that sounds like sour grapes to me. It's not
that learning anbn is not a toy problem. It is. But it's a toy problem for
ILP. Neural nets can't solve it. And neither can any other statistical
machine learning algorithms.

I'd say that it's rather statistical machine learning research that is in a
bubble, satisfied to solve the same old classification problems again and
again, apparently oblivious to the fact that there are many problems that
their algorithms can't touch because they are neither differentiable, nor
reducible to classification.

Unfortunately, since statistical machine learning is the current dominant
paradigm, success is measured in terms of what it can do- and anything it
can't do is either completely ignored or discounted.

Or, like I say: sour grapes.
What is there to say about pro Russia or Brexit?

I have met some Brittain people yesterday and they also didn't have anything positive to say about that.
Outside the on-line/web sphere, there are quite a few other ways to express (or specify) colours, but alas, they all seem to have been made by and for trichromats ;-}
Tenacity and a good enough mentality. Looking at other sites reminds me that they have the same issues and that I'm being overly critical of my own work.
I've experienced this many times. I've been walking to and from work most days for the past several years, about 30 minutes each way. In the morning I listen to a podcast, but in the afternoon I just walk and let my mind wander. By the end of the day I'm usually too tired to continue in the focused mode of thinking, but sometimes I'm still able to discover some new insight while walking in the unfocused mode.
Yeah, I don't doubt that there are scientific methods to confirm this, I was interested specifically in how the parent commenter knew (maybe she was tested). I mean there are people who see things that aren't there too... I guess HN didn't appreciate my question. :-/
A synapse is responsible both for storing its weight, and for operating on its weight. Therefore, model size and throughput are interrelated numbers. If a synapse in a bee brain fires at 10 Hz on average (my guess), total events per second is 10 times the brain ‘capacity’. Max firing rate will be a lot larger, since most neurons are silent most of the time.

In silicon we separate out the storage from the compute. Generally we have much more storage than we have compute, and we route the data to the compute units as we need computation. Therefore ALUs have aggregate throughput of only a small fraction of the model capacity per cycle; at 400,000 cores with, say, 8 16-bit operations per cycle each, that is ‘only’ ~10^6 operations per cycle.

A better way to get a measure of computational throughput is to compare those values. Numbers are hard to find, but 10^10 synaptic events/s for a bee and 10^15 edge calculations/s for Cerebras seems the right sort of ballpark. That's a difference of 10^5, a little less than your estimate of 10^7.
I know several organizations using .org for which 1k would be a substantial chunk of their yearly operating budget.

It's tough though, because any book you'd read will not be up-to-date, things are constantly changing/improving inside the kernel, etc. For some things you'll just not find any documentation whatsoever.

And what to learn depends on what driver you want to write, so you best start by looking into the code in the relevant subsystem, and read it, understand it, and use it, and learn what you need on the go, based on the needs you discover you have for your driver. Then you may realize what you need to learn, and if you can't grok it from the code, go for the books/presentations/linux kernel docs.

So diving into kernel code is a way to discover what you'll need to learn to write your particular kernel driver. Kernel's api surface is huge, and you'll never learn/need anything, and it's best to only learn what you'll be using soon. And this is one way to discover what that might be for your driver.

For kernel wide resources that the kernel offers (like threads, workqueues, locking primitives, of interfaces, kobj/device interfaces, sysfs attributes, timers, etc.) you can learn them from books, but it's also just as effective to learn them by example simply by going to https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source and searching for all references of given function, and learn by example/implementation.

USB userspace drivers are not kernel drivers, so there the situation is different. Interface for writing them is part of kernel-userspace ABI, so you'll be able to use them even with half a decade old guides on the internet.
It was definitely before 1997, because that's when I moved to Japan.
HN What rhyme is this?
It seems the stronger the anti-foreigner rhetoric gets in China the more likely it is that the 1.3 billion people in China stay there. The more proprietary the entire country becomes, the more you need to break the rules to get anything done. China is going to be a rough place in the next 5 years.
You're getting downvoted, but it's true: the most conventional path for corporations to make money at large scales is to privatize profit while socializing externalities. This has been true for at least a half millenium and continues to be true today.

You misunderstand. Any trichromat could see those colors as well, they would just need to be much closer to the object in order to distinguish them. You are still thinking about them seeing more colors. They see more detail in color. Detail is not a matter of visibility but one of perspective. With a closer perspective you could see those colors as well.
> Fame and wealth are zero-sum. For some to be wealthy, powerful and famous, others must be poor, obedient and disregarded.

Is this accurate? My understanding of wealth might be simplistic or reductive, but I have equated it to two neighbor craftsmen producing and trading goods. Each benefits from the other’s specialty and increases overall wealth, which is not zero-sum.

I can agree with the statement regarding fame, since fame is more directly correlated with time, which is strictly zero-sum.
That's why I said written texts. You're right, it's not up to the task for dialog.

And I'm not aware of automatic translation used professionally for dialog (e.g. movie subtitles) because you're right -- there it's primarily nuance and tone.
I don't think the change that happened there really makes anyone happy. Have you been there?

Starting a business is a huge risk in itself. And you have to start early to get used to failing, otherwise you wouldn't be comfortable taking this risk. Yes, your chances of succeeding might increase as you get older but the odds are still overwhelmingly against you. That puts your family at risk so technically you are in a better position to fail and retry again when you have less people depending on you.

i use ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab for tabbing. easier 1-handed operation and closer to other "change context" shortcuts like next/prev window (cmd-~, cmd-shift-~) and select desktop/space (ctrl-1, ctrl-2, etc).
If vendors won't take cash even though it's illegal to refuse it, they're probably not going to take Bitcoin. These mobile payment systems seem to be popular there because they're convenient for locals.
Sorry, my experience was at professional translation companies -- I don't know about actual processes at the UN, was just using it as an illustration that translating isn't usually for "art".

But I don't see why it should be any different. It's still being cleaned up.

The translator knows what they want in the end so the result is the same whether they start with automatic translation or not.

Plus, where I worked all translations were always then reviewed by a second translator anyways, because people miss things too -- we're only human.

Automatic translation as a first step just speeds things up. It doesn't change the final quality at all.

We use it for production, spinning up hundreds of identical setups. We just baked an AMI with a docker-compose.yml with restart: always and it is very dependable.
FWIW, the Chilean Project Cybersyn would have been fascinating, however it might have turned out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Cybersyn

> Project Cybersyn was a Chilean project from 1971–1973 during the presidency of Salvador Allende aimed at constructing a distributed decision support system to aid in the management of the national economy.

> After the CIA-backed military coup on September 11, 1973, Cybersyn was abandoned and the operations room was destroyed.
I’m talking about written text. Even for humdrum stuff like business emails, the lack of nuance and contextual understanding is crippling for JP/EN translation.
>That probably means their wafer yield is 100%.

That doesn't make any sense because errors are an inherent part of the manufacturing process. If errors in the manufacturing process make 1% of the area unavailable that means perfect yields could at most be 99%.
I'd be really surprised if the Hue internally doesn't just have three lights (R, G & B) that combines to produce all colors a human "trichromat" can distinguish.

To my mild surprise, 10 minutes googling did not find any description of how it works.
I posted this elsewhere a while ago but it's relevant to opennic, let me know if something is out-of-date or wrong:

The choice to support DNS roots like .oz, .ku, .te, .ti, and .uu is not standards-compliant. Say suddenly a new nation comes into the world and ISO assigns them one of these abbreviations, or one of these “emerging countries” they have TLDs for gets assigned a different cctld, what does opennic do? They made the choice to pre-register a bunch of domains under these reserved 2-letter country codes, so now they either have to

A. stop being able to say “we directly support all ICANN-assigned tlds” and keep resolving the existing domains

or

B. say to the existing domain owners of [their artificial] tld “sorry to be you” as their domain names they thought they owned now become registered to other entities.

It's Lukas here, author of the article. I can see how this could be misinterpreted, I should've done a better job of explaining what I mean by this - what I specifically meant was choosing unfulfilling and sketchy client work, just because it pays much more. As for people doing well financially with their own business - that's great! I applaud them, and want to be doing better myself. But what you seem to be missing in your comment - for me, it's about priorities. And yes, with my experience with iOS development now, I could "flip the switch" and immediately start making ~4 times more than what I'm making now, if maximizing income was my priority. But it isn't. So, to sum it up: to each its own. For me, the way I come to money is much more important to me than how much money I make.
I once asked a Romainian colleague how the revolution went for him. The main thing he talked about was just how chaotic the post-revolution power struggle was. Having to argue an angry mob out of attacking the foreign students at his university. Two nearby Army units deciding that the other was a rebel faction and getting into a street battle with anti-tank guns. Widespread theft of basically everything from the collapsing state-owned industries - this had always been a problem, but suddenly there was nobody to even try to stop it.

Never imagine that a revolution ends when the corrupt leader is overthrown and taken out and shot. In Hollywood that's when the credits roll. In real life that's when the hard work is only just beginning.

> the pro-Brexit arguments are mostly nonsense

Well, the Economist will assiduously avoid any examination of how the common currency & market are handmaidens for austerity imposed on the peripheral countries to ensure bondholders are always made whole in the EU financial core, that's for sure. Not sure what makes this point "nonsense" though.
