Ask HN: Programmable Calculator Recommendations?
I'm a software engineer with a math background who has to pick up more stats for work. I have solid R and Python skills, but I prefer learning more abstract material with a physical book and my trusty legal pad. Sometimes pulling out a laptop and firing up an RStudio session feels too high friction, and doesn't let me travel as light as I would like.

So I was looking for something comparable to the TI-84 in functionality and size. Any thoughts or recommendations here would be appreciated
Amazing, love finding cool stuff like this.
Agreed. The truck crowd is going to be the toughest to win over. Their father's father's father drove a Ford truck and so do they. Seeing is believing and Tesla needs to make a statement.

You really won't be able to ignore this. Once you get taken down a peg by an electric truck a few times and you'll start to want one no matter who you are.

I honestly can always find what I want with DDG or I can’t find it in DDG or Google. If I end up searching Google it’s essentially the same results, but it also depends how you search.

I’m either searching for something straight forward and Wikipedia (or some other obvious site) suffices or its so niche that neither Google or DDG work.

I also wrote my own search engine that works well for my niche topics (better than either IMO). Mostly for discovering interesting aspect though.
To add on this. I believe Alzheimer’s is a set of symptoms causes by different bacteria and viruses. Not a disease in itself. And not one single virus or bacteria. See also the recent found link between Alzheimer's and dental bacteria.
Or the link between Alzheimer’s and Lyme disease. Like this misdiagnosis:

And this:

>In Miklossy’s work, Borrelia burgdorferi—the species of spirochete that causes Lyme, was identified in 451 out of the 495 Alzheimer’s-riddled brains they examined. Yet, her work at the time was derived by other researchers and until recently, she had difficulty securing funding.

Americans can order contact lenses from abroad without a prescription, legally. I have purchased from the UK for about half the cost, with international shipping, compared to what any U.S. based seller wanted. Not to mention less hassle.

I do think it makes sense to get a checkup every few years, but the 1 or two year prescriptions optometrists want are absurd.

Respectfully, I think you are definitely overestimating the cost of building a search engine. Do you have experience in search specifically? Asking in good faith here.

I think you're absolutely right that it's not trivial, but it isn't a completely unsolvable problem only addressable by the major spyware corporations like Facebook, Google, etc. I think you could build a decent search engine in about 6-18 months if all living expenses were paid and you could just lock yourself into your apartment with no distractions, with maybe a team of 1-3 other extremely talented engineers.
I see crawls from DuckDuckGoBot so chances are they're trying.

Just a guess, but the feeling better part and out of alignment part are unrelated. Simply stretching muscles tends to provide short term relief of a variety of issues. The alignment bit does not seem to be related in any way.

For example, muscle cramps often feel better after a stretch. However, eating a banana is more likely to help by dealing with a common underlying cause.

Some searches work well on DDG and some don't, which is why nearly everyone falls back on !g for some types of searches.

My guess is that you more frequently search for things in the fallback category compared to users that find DDG's results to be non-crap.

Swedish non-localizes search almost certainly falls in that category.

The bang operator is pretty amazing once you get used to it. It gives you control over what you're searching for again.

I use !w (Wikipedia) !yt (YouTube) !d (dictionary) !rhyme (rhyming dictionary) and !gsc (Google scholar) regularly.

Fair enough. This is why we have lawyers and subject matter experts (which I am not). I am just expressing a general sentiment. Codifying that into an actionable set of laws and regulations requires much more work.
why? the difference in mass between a small hatchback and a human is still an order of magnitude larger than the difference between the same car and a cybertruck. they are both so much heavier than the pedestrian that they should transfer about the same energy into the poor fellow.
Personhood includes identity, character and personality. Ascribing most of a countries' personhood to a personality and a therapeutic perspective does not eliminate the character and identity the greater story of a nation instills in it's populace and they grow to inhabit.

There are more lines you could draw against the title, but the content of the article is so narrow I don't know which would be the most productive to add.

The culture and character of a nation is a useful guide stone for the beginning of any expectations one could have interacting with said country.
> If a few milliseconds can change the value of a financial instrument then we have to accept that waiting a second or two will allow a lot more traders to reevaluate and offer a fair price.

I'm not quite getting this point. If I have a sell order at price x and it's filled by a HFT 1 second before someone with a slower algorithm, how does that result in a more "fair" price for me? If the HFT instead posts a buy order at an unfair price x-1, there's nothing stopping the slower traders from taking my sell order at x one second later.
When I switched to the WalMart optometrist not only did glasses and exam suddenly cost 1/5 what I was paying from a private practice, the prescription was better too.
Personally I think looking upon the stort elements is the tail wagging the dog. Theym story is the means for the emotional elements.

"The Hulls can no longer handle the strenuous physical work needed to earn enough to keep up with the taxes, insurance, mortgages..."

Multiple mortgages on a 240 year old farm? Sounds like they already sold the farm to the bank! No matter what those salesmen say, there is no good reason to borrow against your land if you want to be a farmer. I also find it very sad that after 240 years they still feel their land has "too much clay" to be successful. Dont get me wrong I feel bad for the loss of any family farm when it happens but it bugs me when I hear about "starving farmers" that blame the world for their mistakes and generations of land mismanagement.

Ask any successful farmer and they will tell you they grow dirt.
Love SH3D and its small team of developers!

I have used it in the past to model some property in 3D and use them on AirBnB and Facebook listings. The tenants and guests have always said that the mode was a major reason they decided to visit the property as it gave a clear idea of the size and proportion of the various rooms and amenities. Thanks SH3D.

I disagree. Earth becoming better, would be ludicrously tested by removing all but a small population of humans and comparing survival rates between a given time period and now. The Earth, itself, is not "becoming better" in any human sense. The statement was a fantastic statement, which also meant it was unqualified.

> Population growth in animals is not just available resources, climate, location, and many other factors play their parts.

Habitable area is a resource, which species compete for. There is a generous interpretation of my statement, but there isn't one of a "Earth is better", that makes sense. The commensurate appeal to logical thought was rightly pointed out as hypocritical. I stand by it.
The author is trying pretty hard to pull this narrative. When I first saw it, I thought the Cybertruck looks hideous. But then, I don't care much what my car looks like. I often wished the outside of my Golf was more scrappy, rougher, something I don't need to care about denting. The Cybertruck would be perfect for me in that sense: you can use that truck and do a lot of work with it without having to worry about the paint or breaking something. It's a perfect design for it's intended purpose. To me, it doesn't paint a dystopian future. It paints a future where appearances serve an intended purpose, instead of the current opposite. A pickup truck is an utilitarian object. The cybertruck design is purely utilitarian. I love it.

Now if they could make a Cyberhatchback, I'd buy it right now.
In one telling, if the web had not added the features it did, it would have ceded even more ground to mobile apps, which are even less indexable, linkable, etc.

Chiropractic medicine is entirely state based since there's no science behind it. Every state has their own rules about what it takes to be called a chiropractor. Some get actual training on physiology and musculature but definitely not all. It's always going to be hot or miss on whether or not they are going to leave you paralyzed or feeling better.

My mail server got blacklisted because of backscatter. That is where the sender sends spam to an address that doesn't exist on your server, but they also forge the "from" address, so the "this message could not be delivered" response, complete with the spam message, is sent "back" to the forged address (the spammers real target)

It took several months or a large payment to the people maintaining the blacklist for my server to get unblocked (it wasnt critical so I didnt pay). Seemed like extortion to me, but Google and others respected this particular blacklist.

Im not sure if this list still exists. It was on the blacklist checking websites at the time
Who gives two shits what this guy has to say?
1-3 million? That seems like a pretty big range of uncertainty. What are your sources?
Because chiropracty can be very dangerous if the person performing it is not trained on basic human physiology. There is literally nothing other than magic for a chiropractor. Everything useful is just basic massage techniques, which is a field with proven benefits.

> you have committed an illegal entry at the moment you entered Crimea without going through a legitimate border checkpoint - so they'll just arrest you for that

This is true.

A few years ago I flew from Moscow to Simferopol (Crimea) and was advised that to not visit Ukraine in the future, for risk of arrest at the border. I'm not sure how Ukrainian border authorities would know of my visit to Crimea, since there is no record of it in my Australian passport, but I would not want to take the risk.
This isn't true about DuckDuckGo. You've come to an erroneous conclusion based on bad interpretation of information.
Hi, the author here. Thanks for your interest! Let me try answering some of your questions.

> This sounds important and interesting but isn't wide the key word here?

Yes, width is very important for this result. Given the size of modern deep neural networks, I (and most people in the deep learning theory community, by now) believe the large width regime is the appropriate regime to study neural networks.

> I mean, the article puts forward a distinct language/model to expression neural nets in, which is cool but are they talking about all or most of the NNs you see today?

Try throw me an architecture and watch if I can't throw you back a GP :)

> Fo-get-a-bout-it, see SiempreViernes' comment: "I couldn't find any mention about a trained NN, this is strictly about the initial state. "(emphasis added)

Yes. I will have things to say about training, but that requires building up some theory. This paper is the first step in laying it out. Stay tuned! :)
That's still a dangling modifier, because "this" is the subject of the sentence, and "speaking" doesn't modify "this"; rather, it's meant to modify an "I" that's not in the sentence.
Demand side subsidies have never lowered prices in the US as far as I'm aware. The latest Trump tax breaks, the Kansas tax breaks, and pretty much every time you goose demand side they pocket the money as profit and keep charging the same. Why should they decrease their profits if the government gives them free money?
In theory they can. In practice I think should any military aggression happen the rest of the world will quite deservedly cut off any ties with Russia while offering to Belorussia all military assistance possible short of direct participation.
>CSS is imperfect, and there are different ways to think about it. But if you find yourself running into design problems often, you may want to rethink how you think about CSS.

Any language or system that requires highly disciplined and unintuitive patterns to make work is a flawed system.

There is a a sort of catharsis once understanding of a pattern is achieved but you should not be fooled by this. "Rethinking" a concept increases your perception and understanding but CSS was never designed to be thought about from another perspective. What you are mastering when you master CSS is how to use the idiosyncrasies of a flawed system.

This is not unique to the front end. SQL is much the same way. Often in SQL there are Optimizations with no rhyme or reason. You just write one permutation of a query and pray that it compiles into something performant.

A well designed system is one where good design is emergent from the language itself. A good example of this on the front end is ELM.

Oh, it's worse than that. With an app and a phone with a high-res screen, a simple device[1] (BOM of a few dollars) could give you spherical and cylindrical numbers. Nice for the developing world and, err, other nations with impaired health care systems.

What that telling leaves out is the fact that the web is also an extremely popular way to distribute documents. When someone finishes writing a manifesto or a fan fiction and considers how to disseminate it, they never respond with, “I know: I’ll distribute my manifesto or fan fiction on the iOS and Android’s app stores.” That greatly reduces the harm done by the lack of indexability and linkability of mobile apps.
Completely honest answer, not trying to be dismissive -- DuckDuckGo gives me fine results for most of my queries. I don't reach for Google that much unless I'm doing a deep dive into a problem that's hard to search in general, in which case I often find I'm aggregating results from multiple search engines.

I find Google better at some results -- occasionally Google "gets" what I'm trying to search for better than DuckDuckGo does and zeroes in more specifically on the topic. Sometimes I find that DuckDuckGo does the same. I particularly think that DuckDuckGo's smart cards are just (to me) obviously better than Google's. DuckDuckGo's news is really bad for me, I guess -- I pretty much always use Google News for current events.

This comes up pretty much every time that DuckDuckGo comes up, and I have seen it come up so often, that when I step back and try to come up with a semi-impartial reading of which engine is better, the only conclusion I can reach is that a lot of people have different opinions about how a search engine should react when they search. I think different search results are an acquired taste, and there just isn't an objective right or wrong answer to which engine is better.

So it's a little like if someone was recommending eating vegetables, and you asked, "but what do you do about the crap taste of spinach?" You have a real problem in that I want to help you find foods you like, but at the same time, I'm not trying to "solve" the way spinach tastes. I don't agree that spinach is "wrong", it's just not what you want.

From that point of view, having multiple, diverse search engines is good, and we'd all be served better by using multiple search engines. I don't want DuckDuckGo to just be a Google clone; part of the reason I use it is because of their different results. I do want it to improve and get better, but I disagree that morphing into Google 2.0 will accomplish that for me.

If you like Google's style of search results, then what you really need is a trustworthy replacement for Startpage. You need Google but without the tracking -- and DuckDuckGo isn't just Google without the tracking. I think you're justified in telling anyone who says, "just use DuckDuckGo" to shove off, since DuckDuckGo isn't solving your problem. But I don't agree that DuckDuckGo has bad results, it has a different flavor than you're used to.

Do people keep around versions of “alpha go year 2017” and play against it in order to measure human improvement over time?

If the basis for observing improvement has become “I can beat old versions of the ai more reliably than I used to be able to” or if I have learned to beat players who have not studied alpha zero I suppose that’s a form of usefully learning “about go” by analyzing the games played by alpha zero ...

I wonder if we might ever arrive at a point where human vs fixed-year x ai performance at go pretty much stops increasing over time ...?
