Perfect interview questions to get to the juice details haha!

The problem is that choice of compression is very much dependent on the sample size, so this is why just choosing the algorithm based on running benchmarks on the sample will be off.

However, computing certain statistics on the sample and then doing machine learning makes a lot of sense!

Obviously not for simple/cheap to compute features such as number of rows/columns which actually do not take longer to compute as the data gets larger.

But I actually do this for predicting the uniqueness of values! You basically want to get an idea of how many unique values you have per column. But.. if you take a sample this will give you completely wrong numbers.

You can see my approach here: https://github.com/kootenpv/shrynk/blob/6a8675061d82aa65fc3b...
Basically the formula calculates the uniqueness on a sample (e.g. 10000 rows), but then extrapolates the result to your actual data size. E.g. it finds 100 unique values in a sample of 10000, but in reality that means you maybe have 500 unique values.

Babies also show these toy preferences very early on, and exposure to prenatal androgens alters the toy preferences in females.

The preference for dolls is likely related to the role of females in childcare. Males are more the explorers and hunters. Women never explored nor hunted very much.

Can I be controversial and ask what justifies such expenses? Why is this game so important that it needs to be up and running so badly?

From what I've seen so far the "game" (if you can even call it that) highlights the weaknesses of GPT-2 much more than its strengths (the model's answers to user actions are random, the story is incoherent, the world is inconsistent). I don't get the feeling it was setup to demonstrate _weakness_ though. I think it was meant to demonstrate strngths.

I suppose it's just advertising for the BYU Perception, Control and Cognition Lab, but it sounds awfuly expensive for advertising for an academic group.

Ask HN: User Privacy Litigation?
Hi, it seems that these days, you can't buy anything on the internet without creating an account that asks for your email address. When I do this, I religiously make sure I uncheck the "do you want to receive news about xxx" button. But apparently, this gets ignored quite a lot, and I end up receiving tons of crap in my mailbox.

My question is: is there a point in trying to litigate this? I mean, can I get some compensation from people spamming me while I didn't want to? Obviously this is not worth going through a lawyer, but if I can automate the filing of the complain, and hope to make $50 each time I get an email I didn't solicit, that'd be definitely worth the trouble.

Similarly, I often close accounts, but I'm pretty sure that no company out there actually deletes my data. Is there a way to enforce this?
No, that's about right. You get one write per second per entity or something like that and that's as fast as it goes.

The key is to choose your entity wiseley. I wrote an app inside Google that did on the order of 10,000 writes per second and it was no problem; each entity group only showed up once every minute or so.

There was no sale. Cambridge Analytica used the free, public API just like any other FB Platform developer, including 15-year-old me. Users clicked through OAuth consent screens to share their data with its personality test app. It being a social network, much of that data involved their friends.

Bank transactions are not "your own data" any more than what CA scraped from personality quiz users was "their own data." In both cases, there are people on the other side of each record.

> notations which are no longer a subset of ISO Prolog and therefore also not Datalog.

This is false.
Datalog is not (or no longer) about prolog like syntax, Datalog as used nowadays in research, describes the semantics for a logic which includes conjunctive queries and recursion, often denoted as an abstract syntax consisting of rules with a body and head, no ascii syntax attached.

> Thus, they also do not immediately benefit from recent advances in Prolog systems in that they cannot directly be parsed and interpreted by them.

This is like saying, that Javascript can benefit from updates to the Java virtual machine. Prolog and Datalog require radically different evaluation strategies and implementations.

Figuring Out Why to Go Paid
Why justify it, when it's public money? It's free!
Very impractical for many reasons already mentioned here. I mean air rifles designs are very old (Napoleon famously gave order to execute any enemy soldier found with one), and they haven't caught up in any modern military.

It turns out its very practical to have fully contained ammo with casing, semi-waterproof, shockproof, can last decades easily and super cheap to make due to economies of scale. Heat dissipation from barrel friction is an unsolved problem, you can't just skip around physical constraints.

Also, having variable power isn't very practical - you want a steady point of hit for consistent fire, otherwise you would have to re-adjust gun sights/scope every single time. One of the biggest pain points of even modern air rifles - as the air pressure goes down, so does velocity of the pellets and your precision.

I think we will see sooner some sort of plasma guns than standard ammunition shot via similar ways.

I don't get it. What's NSFW here? Suck his what?

Also, yeah I think it's funny how chatbots can generate undesirable or NSFW responses and there's basically no way to stop it. I know GPT-2 can parrot old-timey scientific racism back at me, just like the redditors who trained it!

Even if you'd fold them open to the point they almost break and individual pages get loose, it still does not yield the book unreadable. I've read books like that. No, it's not exactly the best experience, but as long as all pages are there and in order then I still don't really see it as a major problem, there's already enough thrash in the world.

(not addressed toyou, but don't feel like making separate comments and it in agreement with OP): Likewise for the yellow pages problem another commenter mentions. If it's just the color the only real effect is, I think, a bit less contrast between the letters and background. I seriously wonder if this has an actual effect on reading. I get that if you somehow attach, for whatever reason, value to paper being white, you consider yellow paper as less valueable. But imo this is in most cases purely artificial value: for reading the content matters way more than the medium. Those hundreds of years old yellow books do have value because of their content, and are perfectly readable.
IIUC that only moves the mark bits out of the objects. It still has to access the objects while marking.

I think the parent proposed moving pointers out of the objects, so you wouldn't even have to touch the user's objects while marking.

> easily processable

> formal reasoning based on well known logical rules

Oof, I do not know any serious researcher of logic who would support that claim.

Prolog is, due to its age and heritage, inherently side/effectful and undecidable/turing-complete.

SPARQL has big fat warts, for sure, design by committee, bulky syntax, way too long spec, way too many capabilities, and questionable decidability (looking at you MAYBE clause),
BUT at its heart it's non recursive conjunctive queries over regular path expressions.

CJ over PathRegex are a really elegant way to describe arbitrarily nested datastructures with flat queries, and are a lot more intuitive and concise than the corresponding datalog query.

Edit:
Not saying that prolog doesn't have its place btw, it's a neat language with awesome capabilities, but is NOT a query language.
Do you have any evidence of this? I work in algorithmic trading/finance and I'm relatively certain that this isn't true.
The smaller you make the loan, the more pointless it becomes for more and more of the population. For clarity, consider the extreme case: very few people would consider taking a loan of a penny, however many people would consider taking a load of $10,000. A penny is a negligible fraction of your earning power, so it makes more sense to wait 2 seconds at work than to spend 3 seconds taking out a penny loan (and I'm being generous to modern tech; it will take you longer than 3 seconds to take out a loan).

Credit cards acknowledge this issue by construction. They assume that there's some overhead (convenience, time, effort, etc.) with paying back a loan, so what they effectively do is allow you to batch transactions together and pay them all back at once. That way, you don't have to log in every time you make a purchase to "refill". Of course, if this "refill" has no overhead cost, then it wouldn't matter.
Our 8 week old will cry if she is not held 24/7. Whilst it is incredibly tiring and hard work, we've found a way to make it work.
This is what I thought, but it understates the difference a huge amount.

In trading you are looking for signals like "resistance" - which is basically that someone(s) has a incomplete "buy" order at a particular price. Trading is all about exploiting these signals.

It's like the difference in architecture and coding, or selecting a sports team and individual ball skills.

To make it clear - there are a number of trading strategies where you don't need to know which way the price is moving at all.
Hacker Hacks Hacking Platform HackerOne
That sucks. XSB is old code and I believe it was meant mostly as a proof of concept even at the time it was written. I doubt many people use it, even in research, nowadays.

I believe what triska meant about XSB is that it demonstrated the benefits of SLG resolution, by being a proof of concept like I say. So yes, XSB would be more of academic interest.

If you want a modern Prolog to play around with you should try Swi-Prolog. From the conclusion of your comment I'm assuming you haven't tried it because you wouldn't have trouble "getting up and running" in 10 minutes. Or 5 or so. Seriously, Swi's maintainers (triska is a contributor) have gone out of their way to make it useable.

Anyway, if you put in all this work to get XSB working I think you should definitely give Swi-Prolog a try. Sunk cost fallacy, innit.

Here's the link:

https://www.swi-prolog.org/Download.html

On windows, there's an installer. On Linux you can yum-install or apt-get etc an earlier version and try it out, then if you like it you can follow the Download page's links to figure out how to install a newer version (that does take a bit more work).

If you're stuck with Prolog, there's a discourse group, here:

https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/

People there are always happy to help newcomers (and will never send you to RTFM).

But be warned that learning Prolog is not easy. I help with markings and labs for Prolog courses at my university and students always have a hard time with it, until some things start to click.

EDIT: "halt." should work at any Prolog prompt. The "." is a statement terminator. You probably didn't get anything after "halt return" because you missed the dot.

EDIT II: Oh, I forget. You can try Swi-Prolog on Swish (Prolog notebooks):

https://swish.swi-prolog.org

So no need to install anything but keep in mind that some stuff is limited for security reasons (you can do a lot of damage with a language that lets you rewrite it on the fly).
And you are inside a metal tube that does a good job of shielding I suspect, at least if you are not close to a window.

It's a long story and not completely the integrator's fault but in the end we had to replace all of the memory. Since then we have stuck to the same part manufacturers where possible. We don't know whether we've just been lucky or simply haven't reached a critical mass where it becomes a common problem, but it's been extremely rare for a part to arrive in working order and go on to fail within the warranty period. Maybe that's a testament to Supermicro, we have had some problems with their power supplies but all sometime after the warranty period has ended.
Agreed.

Any book I've purchased new - either paperback or hard cover - after I've read it is virtually indistinguishable from the new item state.

I have some background to understand this (bioinformatics Honours), but am not an expert. What I can say is that the study at this point, if based on DNA methylation, does not even suggest that the effect is of physical contact is positive (to be Devil's advocate, the DNA methylation from physical contact could have a negative effect).

The study does ask for indicators (crying, behaviour, etc.) but with those parameters you can already try to correlate a lot of physical contact vs. less contact.

They are trying to tell whether methylation is worth studying (at all) in the context of more vs. less contact with your child. Personally, for the purposes of raising a child, I don't think these studies say anything at all. It's more important to stop panicking about nonexistent threats that social media wackos will try to convince you of.

Epigenetics is a very interesting field of study and is like a downtuned Lamarckian inheritance all over again. Things like chronic inflammation are still far from well understood. The body is like having 2 000 000 000 years of Wikipedia and all its edit history crammed into one string of DNA letters. And now we learn that apparently metadata (the DNA methylation) is also crammed into the whole thing and even that changes all the time.

By the way, for that matter, what constitutes "affectionate physical contact" quantitatively is not clear to me. I think each child's particular emotional need at any time is really difficult to pinpoint. I had a great childhood and parents, but I think that I always had a sort of angst (maybe competitive angst?) that really can't be said to be anyone's fault. These days if you feel funny and go the psychologist they will probably say: "Don't worry. It's just appropriate affect. If you spend 15 hours a day on Instagram then you are supposed to feel funny."
