that argument definitely has some truth, but it's worth considering that playing a randomizer is a very different experience than speed running the original game as mxwsn said. I've played a few randomizers and it's a whole lot of fun to dynamically route based on evolving probabilities - vs performing a known route at a hyperoptimized level. randomizers reward adaptation, as well as gameplay and game knowledge that may not matter for the speed run

If I had a big enough user base I would give some users non optimized queries and check if the choices still matched up to previous choices, if they did I would increase rank on previous choices, if not I would start to down prioritize and increase the choices that were chosen.

It's a hard one because I bought a car brand new a number of years ago, where I could plug my iPhone into the car and control music from my steering wheel. 2 years later my mobile phone became incompatible with the car after a software update to the iPhone, from my perspective nothing had changed on the device but it was not longer compatible. And my vehicle manufacturer (a large one) were no longer providing software updates to that vehicle.

The problem is that you have a car much longer than you have a single mobile phone and the technological rate of change with mobile phones is as you know fast.

But absolutely, if they remove all ports it will impact a very large number of CarPlay owners.

This feature is powered by another project we run, where we measure the tracking landscape in the web (most popular domains): https://whotracks.me. Details on how that works can be found in our paper [0]. Also - we are flirting with the idea of providing a mode where the ranking is informed by the trackers in the destination site. Would love to hear your thoughts on whether you'd like smth like this.

At the moment it's only a placeholder for a lengthier title and description (if available), but we are planning to use the space for rendering a short summary of the content/media in that site + similar sites in terms of content (query-relevant of course). This is more work in progress as we want to make sure content creators are on board. Again: would love to hear your thoughts on that.

The "told you so" afterglow wears off when the people they told take credit, get bonuses, and still don't listen.
Does it really make the web faster for mobile? I've had the exact opposite experience with it. It's made sites run much slower, broken things like dark themes, and make advertisements more intrusive. For example, I used to think the game guide/news site polygon was a horrible slow mess until I learned about amp, I was accessing it via google search, and once I excised the amp portion of the url the site became snappy and usable. The same exact thing happened to me two nights ago with SoundOnSound as well.
Hmm I was doing that before and was still paying decent costs without a huge increase in download speed.
Matt Stoller has been pumping out issues about government contracting over the past few months, and they’ve all been popular on HN. McKinsey is the archetypal management consulting firm and the role of consultants is an important part of any discussion about the concentration of market power. Often comment on these issues concerns the tech companies many HN readers work for.

Yes, they mention it, which is a good move regarding transparency, but they still don't answer the question as to why the finance them.

They mostly push a narrative of privacy and censorship, when in the end the answer is probably close to "we want a piece of the pie" or "we want to be that monopoly".
Have you seen batteries explode? They make an audible bang, and can even push things around if they are touching those, and that's all. This is because the explosion is contained in a steel sarcophagus (much more efficient than concrete) that detracts a little from portability, but is already included on the costs people are bringing to this thread.
GPS tracking must also help Google a lot to determine mortar shop popularity.
I definitely understand there is a snowball effect in place, but battery research (and as one example, GM's field testing) makes it pretty clear that degeneration occurs much faster when the Lithium-based batteries are used out of operating temperatures, and that appears to be reflected in Leaf used sales (areas prone to more extreme temperature ranges have worse used Leafs).

It's not entirely a fair apples-to-apples comparison, but GM's Volt has generally worse range as comparable Leafs at each early generation, and Volts are showing much less battery degradation when compared. (Certainly you may argue that the range extender of the Volt will bring down cycle counts, but even just comparing electric miles to electric miles the Volt is still outperforming the Leaf on battery degradation.)

As for the 20%/80& thing, that is something that for instance GM's tech actively manages and just bases its outputs as if the ~80% was "full" to avoid consumer confusion. The issue there is not that charge percentage matters, according to battery industry standards, but that individual cells have a "directionality" that should be respected and a discharging cell never used to charge until it has 100% discharged and vice versa. With regenerative breaking it is useful to have cells always available "in the charging direction". It is interesting that GM and Tesla took different approaches in marketing that to car users.
What's the counter argument? A phone is a smaller Google home running the same software and hardware. It's like bolting all the doors except the front. It'll stop a criminal attempting to enter only through the back, but doesn't it seem weird to optimize so much for that?

You’re overthinking it. Just start applying and interviewing everywhere. Don’t get hung up on rejection. Don’t wait until you have side projects or GitHub commits or blog posts. You can do those in parallel as a bonus if you really want to.

I implemented something like this a couple years ago and the geometry files used for timezone lookup were surprisingly large (~200 MB at decent precision)! I ended up simplifying the geometries drastically to minimize data requirements and compute burden of the lookups, but if you need higher precision, server reverse geocoding may be your only option in constrained environments.
About those automated drinks at McDonalds...when I order mine with 'no ice,' the machine is apparently incapable of filling the cup with the additional amount of coke that would normally be displaced by ice. It will simply fill the cup just 2/3 of the way. They seem to have realized this though, but instead of increasing the volume of coke dispensed, the machine drops ANOTHER cup which the employee is supposed to use to fill the actual cup to the top. The employees only do this half the time, however, which makes the entire process even more maddening. Somehow neither man, nor machine, can get a no-ice drink right at McDonalds.

People are dismissing your response, but nobody is addressing your key point that an always-listening phone is far more of a privacy threat than an Echo. And that the Echo doesn't add THAT much more of a threat if you've got a phone that's listening.

I don't agree there's nothing to be done short of building your own SCIF (laws are a logical place to start), but to me it's more important to point out what a privacy disaster all of our phones are that it makes everything else look much smaller.
How is that ironic? I don't want people associating this account with my real life identity, so I made it separate and access it differently than other identifiable services.

That's the whole point that I'm trying to make. Identify if listening devices are actually a threat to you. Assess the area and see if a listening device would be appropriate before adding it. For most people, who are very insecure anyway, one more listening device is not going to have any significant impact on their threat level.

If anything, what we need is more training available on how they can assess the threats against them in a rational way. And, if they choose, how to mitigate the risks posed by those threats. Sometimes that will include removing listening devices, but for most people, that won't be their largest threat.

TSMC's 5nm is 171 MTr/mm². Intel's 7nm expected to be ~200 Mtr/mm². Both should be out 2021.

Most likely Intel's problems were just problems specific to their 10nm process and Intel starts clawing back it's market share 6 - 18 months from now with 10+, 10++ and 7.

The engineering is so complex that it's possible that someone fails again in next five years and misses a step. Could be TSMC, Samsung or Intel again. When new fab is $20 billion investment there is no room for many errors.

Your point is spot on. Old pages tend to have more association to seen queries, which does not play in favor for new pages.

That said, however, there are a couple of things to consider: 1) seen queries is not the only way to create queries, we are pretty good creating synthetic queries based on the content, descriptions, etc. This queries are more noisy that the seen queries of course, but good enough. And 2)novelty, freshness and popularity are very important features on the ranking.

The point is not that privacy is dead. The point is that we are all already carrying around a surveillance device by choice, and so complaining about one more substantially less intrusive one is silly. If you're actually serious about these privacy issues, you should start by getting rid of your smartphone, not complaining about Nest and Alexa.

This is a weird and kind of creepy message. I'm reacting to the comments you wrote on this thread, not some personal history you think we have. You keep writing things like "surely this is not what you mean" (and, of course, it isn't) and then continue to argue against the argument you imagine I must not? or must be? making. This doesn't seem productive and I'm not interested in continuing. Sorry.
Can you share how large your dataset (how many tokens) and batch size was and how many epochs you used? By training slowly, do you mean that you used a small learning rate? If so, what was it?

I've been reading up on batch size and people are all over the place. Some say smaller is better and some say larger is better. Mostly when it comes to gpt2 people say larger is better but there must come a point when increasing the batch size is no longer beneficial (or is it just that you use as large as your memory will allow)?

What I really want, is not another search engine for contextless queries. Except for really basic queries (which Google/etc already do a good job at), I'm trying to answer a question, perhaps open-ended, and it will take multiple queries to resolve. And it's not a linear process of narrowing down with + or - keywords. It's establishing a context: I'm searching for something relevant to "go" the language, not "go" the english verb or "go" the board game.

I want to be able to open a jupyter-like notebook with the start of my search query, and the first step should be to show me the available eigencontexts, from which I can establish the gross context for my entire search. After this first click, none of the results should be about the board game or the english word--unless the relevant search results happen to include an implementation of Go the board game in Go the language.

And then when I'm done, I want to name and archive that notebook so I can return to it at a later date--whether to refresh my memory of the ultimate answer, or to continue the search.

I guess I would call this a 'research engine' instead of a search engine.

Many phones have LEDs but do not have software support for it. Sometimes it goes a long time before someone recognizes that a LED hides in the speaker grill and then boom, someone writes an app to enable it. The manufacturer was contempt with adding a LED to a device and not caring if it ever was used. Cost was not part of it.

Even google, on it's nexus 5, had a LED. A prominent RGB LED that could do everything you ever wanted. Well, unless you relied on google for the software which if possible made it worse than if it hadn't existed.

Then you open up the phone to replace the dying battery. And behold, multiple SMA type connectors for external antennas(?) One wonders if a single person on earth found a use for them. Cost optimization don't seem to be that important.

Now for the camera LED I don't think phone manufacturers want to even admit that it is something anyone should be worried about. So their strategy is likely to pretend that there doesn't even exist any issues to worry about. Probably works out pretty well for them.

Oh, come on: you’re saying that teaching English to Indian students makes them illiterate in both their regional dialect and in English? You’re going to need to cite something like that, and a link that tries to correlate “poor countries often speak European languages” to “they’re poor because they’re not speaking whatever they originally used to” (instead of “their language is probably a byproduct of being colonized, and they’re poor because of that and not because European languages have some inherent linguistic deficiency”). And if we’re talking about anecdotal evidence, I suggest you take a look at the graduates of top “English-medium” institutions of India: many of them are multilingual.

Most batteries beyond laptop size have significant value once they are 'used'. Most retain 20-90% of their original capacity, meaning they can live on in grid storage which has relatively insignificant size limitations.

Most of the new capacity is for large applications (cars) which means low battery type diversity, and this high reusablity due to consistency and of course high market-value. Quite a few businesses will pop up to create this solutions as the increase of batteries make it through their first life.

You don't have to be doing anything wrong or "interesting" for that data to be collected and used against you later.

These days your normal everyday activities are being used to calculate things like your "consumer score" which determines things how much you pay for products, what your insurance company will charge you or will cover, what shows up to employers when they do background checks, and that's just on the private industry side of things.

The government is also collecting this data and you've either got an incredibly optimistic outlook or a very limited understanding of history if you think they couldn't ever use that data against you or against anyone who becomes an inconvenience to those in power.
