Nokia 800 Tough apparently can do 4G and Google Maps.

>I can pair my Huawei FreeBuds 3 with the Nokia 800 Tough, install a bunch of music on it, and jump on my bike. Google Maps navigation provides turn-by-turn instructions at a glance while I’m listening to some good riding music. I’ve got no concerns about the battery running out or the phone falling out of my pocket. I can ask the Google Assistant questions to avoid typing queries into the browser. And if I need to, I can stay in touch with everyone via WhatsApp voice messages. The list of benefits goes on and on.

As an added benefit, you can probably bludgeon someone to death with it after losing an argument.
>contradicts the assertion that productivity gains are captured by a small class/group,

Only that they are fully captured by a small class. It says nothing about the relative amount, and doesn't change anything about the wealth disparity picture, for those smartphones are cheaper for everyone but one group has a lot more to spend AND smartphones are cheaper for them
To me those ex commands feel more like a standard library than a DSL. But I know very little about vimscript and I’m happy to be corrected.
It is meaningful if the US is ahead of any cooperating bloc of powers in any covered area of image recognition. This is much broader than being ahead of specifically China on the whole. For it to not be true would essentially imply that no new research is happening in the US.
My reading is that it's the GUI used to train a neural network to identify any objects in geospatial imagery. I'm definitely less okay with that. Although, I feel like the GUI is not the hard part to make, so it's a weird part to restrict.
That's hyperbolic nonsense. There's a huge number of people, myself included, that continue to use an iPhone SE with a 4" screen without the issues you describe. A 4.7" screen is nearly 20% larger than that; it doesn't "destroy" gaming or internet browsing.

A lot of these same people Apple to release an updated version of the iPhone SE form-factor. Many of these people are on Hacker News; search for earlier threads about the iPhone SE being discontinued to see just how many.

Almost the same age as you. I've failed on about 20 projects in the last 12 years until I found the one that started my company.

My mistake was that I always tried to have some new, innovate ideas.... that's super hard to make it work. I switched to looking at what works well, has a great mature market, but it's not working well for a specific niche.

Build something that serves that niche much better and your chances of success increase 10x.
Does this mean Nvidia can't export GPUs to China?
It is still profitable to add Denuvo for game publishers, because most sales happen in the first week.
1. Provides a graphical user interface that enables the user to identify objects (e.g., vehicles, houses, etc.) from within geospatial imagery and point clouds in order to extract positive and negative samplesof an object of interest;

2.Reduces pixel variation by performing scale, color, and rotational normalization on the positive samples;

3. Trains a Deep Convolutional Neural Network to detect the object of interest from the positive and negative samples; and

4. Identifies objects in geospatial imagery using the trained Deep Convolutional Neural Network by matching the rotational pattern from the positive samples with the rotational pattern of objects in the geospatial imagery.

What counts as "geospatial imagery"? Could this apply to any training UI for self-driving cars, maps, street view, etc.?
Fuchsia's future is still uncertain, and nowadays they also have C++ and Rust based UIs on the public repo.

While Cory is talking about a slightly different facet of conservatism, I found it quite ironic that he made a rather conservative statement himself:

>Nor is machine learning likely to produce a reliable method of inferring intention: it’s a bedrock of anthropology that intention is unknowable without dialogue. As Cliff Geertz points out in his seminal 1973 essay, “Thick Description,” you cannot distinguish a “wink” (which means something) from a “twitch” (a meaningless reflex) without asking the person you’re observing which one it was.

Was this mathematically proven? It's definitely an interesting statement, since a lot of "AI" systems try to predict intention and do a piss poor job of it, but to quote that the anthropological ancestors have proclaimed for eternity that a computer can never know even the slightest fraction of intention from just observation seems hypocritical.

When you look at the statistics you can see that the cracking time is becoming faster.

Which means that one day the crack should be released within the first week. I guess, then game studios have to rethink their DRM.
I think it a grand irony that the only graphs on this page that aren't barely-interpretable depictions of category error are, of all things, the pie charts.

Ask HN: Does your dog have a theory of mind?
Recently my dog has found a new level trick to get the playing going. He basically goes to another part of the house pushes that door closed and waits behind it until we discover him. All while making sounds, peaking behind the door, closing and opening it again and again. This is 100% playful behavior but on Google I only find explanation of anxiety and stress related causes. I hesitate to interpret this as intelligent behavior and project a theory of mind on it but it sure is a nice surprise.
Are you describing the explore/exploit tradeoff or simulated annealing in this case?

Geospatial imagery “software” “specially designed” for training a Deep Convolutional Neural Network to automate the analysis of geospatial imagery and point clouds, and having all of the following:

1. Provides a graphical user interface that enables the user to identify objects (e.g., vehicles, houses, etc.) from within geospatial imagery and point clouds in order to extract positive and negative samples of an object of interest;

2. Reduces pixel variation by performing scale, color, and rotational normalization on the positive samples;

3. Trains a Deep Convolutional Neural Network to detect the object of interest from the positive and negative samples; and

4. Identifies objects in geospatial imagery using the trained Deep Convolutional Neural Network by matching the rotational pattern from the positive samples with the rotational pattern of objects in the geospatial imagery.

Technical Note: A point cloud is a collection of data points defined by a given coordinate system. A point cloud is also known as a digital surface model.

Would be interested to see a comparison with QtQuick as it uses the same model than Flutter - reimplement everything and render it on the GPU (but with an additional decade's worth of optimizations)
A good doctor is one who pays attention. I've met my fair share of bad doctors who are overworked and just are not paying attention to what they are doing. Then they end up making mistakes, such as misdiagnosing a condition, prescribing the wrong medication, etc.

It's hard for the average person to know if their doctor is doing a good job until something goes wrong and it's too late.

My doctor now is excellent, he's excellent because he actually listens to what I'm saying. That doesn't mean he always agrees with me, I would hope he doesn't! But at least he is paying attention. Many other doctors seem to go into a keyword search mode when listening to patients. It's the difference between reading a page thoroughly and skim reading it.

The constitution of the US doesn't say that patents are public debt.
I used to put on my tinfoil hat and imagine that cryptography was the field to study if you wanted secret government agents to visit you. Maybe next time I will instead imagine that computer vision is what summons the secret agents.

More seriously, computer vision is going to be important and it appears to be far less known than machine learning and has higher barriers to entry. I'd exchange a few introductory machine learning books for more good computer vision introductions.

Any suggestions on how to get started with computer vision?
> This means the ThinkPad X131e had under 3 years of support if you bought it brand new like many school districts did in 2015.

The ThinkPad X131e Chromebook was originally released in February 2013 [1] and has received five years of Chrome OS updates from Google. From March 2017 onwards, new Chrome OS devices receive 6.5 years of support [2] and in November 2019 many received a further year of support on top of that [3] so the update situation is a lot better than it was.

School districts purchasing X131e Chromebooks would have known at the time of purchase that they would stop receiving updates in February 2018 [4]. Being two plus years into their lifecycle is not really Google's fault. The districts need to do better due diligence.

As you mentioned, EOL dates for all Chrome OS devices are published in an article on Google's website [5]. To get the most life out of a particular Chromebook model it needs to purchased as close to launch day as possible. That's what I always try to do when purchasing Chromebooks where I work.

It's also worth mentioning that the X131e is supported by Neverware's CloudReady until 2025 [6] so the Chromebooks don't have to be thrown away when Google stops supporting them.

I think that in this case the author hired the editor directly, not through a publisher. I'm sure you're right about the wages thing, so presumably you'd have to pay programmer wages rather than regular editor wages.

It feels like a work in progress for sure. They seem to be aiming for an encyclopedic style of writing (although without the depth that also implies) there is no mention made of concerns about ABA in the article about Ivar Lovaas, or in the article on Hans Asperger about his complicity with euthanasia

Mobile Apps and Games of 2019
I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer at 53, with over 30 years experience. I first became a Senior at the age of 29, with just six years of experience in the field.

I learned long ago that I hate, loathe, and despise doing any kind of management job, and I am horribly bad at doing it when I’m forced into those kinds of roles. That’s why I’m still an Engineer.

I can do the 2nd in command role reasonably well, at least for short periods of time. I like to think I’m pretty good at providing technical leadership on things.

But I find that most people who are good at management tasks, that is something they usually find out fairly early in their lives, and they tend to go down a different path than I have done. I have known some technical people who then later switched over to management and done a good job at that, but they are in the minority. Most of the good managers I’ve known are managers first and techies second.

I see it as a lot like being left or right-handed. Sure, you can use your off hand to do some things, and you might even get pretty good at it. But you’re pretty much guaranteed to always be better at doing those same things with your dominant hand. Unless you’re ambidextrous, of course. Of course, you can always make a point of training your off hand as much as possible, and most of that training will directly transfer without conscious effort to your dominant hand. And it will probably always be a lot of extra work and never feel as natural.

Anyway, this is my truth, as an aging Caucasian overweight computer geek here in Austin, Texas, but I’ve also lived and worked professionally in the Washington, DC region and Brussels, Belgium, and done short six month contracts in places like Denver, Colorado and Cupertino, California.

Among others, I’ve worked for the Defense Information Systems Agency in the Pentagon, AOL during their mid-90s heyday, companies in Europe you’ve never heard of, small consulting companies, and VMWare, and I’ve consulted for companies like AT&T, Apple, and Raytheon, to name a few.

I can’t speak for what your experiences might be in your location.

All of that said, don’t let me discourage you from trying, if that’s what you really want to do. But I would encourage you to do as much research as you can on the exact type of work you would be doing, if you were to switch roles.

Changing career paths is one of the biggest things you can do in your career, and your life. And it can be damn scary. But it can also be very fulfilling, if you make the right switch and at the right time.
Ask HN: How do you create custom reports in 2020?
Our technical product team needs to create reports to a few of our big customers. The last thing we want is to invent the wheel and brew our own report system.
What do you use for your own reports? Preferably:

- On premises or supports private cloud (sensitive data)

- Consume and crunch data with queries and a few code snippets (JS).
Installing a caching plugin and turning it all the way up should solve most of your problems. There is no real need for every request to hit the DB.

I find the dynamic between passionate hackers doing it for free against paid DRM writers to be very interesting, gets to show you how passion for problem solving can sometimes trump people writing software for money no matter the money involved
It makes no sense to draw a (smoothed!) curve between e.g. 5 releases 450 days ago to 3 releases 420 days ago. The most charitable interpretation is that the y axis is releases/month, but (a) a rolling average would be a more appropriate visualization for that figure (b) the numbers are clearly actually just discrete releases ascribed each of the points at 30-day intervals (c) that's not what the label says anyway.

The other line graphs have basically the same problem.

Meanwhile, pie charts are infamous for being abused to show things that don't actually add up to 1, but in this case they're actually being used fairly appropriately.
Scientists on the Move
Me too, on both counts.

About a year and a half ago I compared native iOS tableview scroll performance to the Flutter "startup name generator" tutorial app. Flutter would noticably stutter occasionally, whereas native iOS was silky smooth.

Lots of these things have been written about AI. Kasparov wrote a decade ago that Poker would be out of reach from computers because bluffing was inherently human.

That statement was easy to refute mathematically, but I don't know about Geertz. That seems more vague.
Definitely worth mentioning, thank you. However, I was aware of that and believe there are currently no cryptography related restrictions (right?), so I'm still wondering if this is a zero-to-one situation. Has the software export restriction been switched from off to on?
Overpriced dump phone.
You are assuming that everyone purchasing a game, would not purchase it if they could download a pirated version. Call me naive, but I like to think that a lot of people that have the money to purchase a game in the first week, would still purchase it even if a cracked version is available. Just look at the billions of revenue earned by Spotify and iTunes before it, even if most music is available on release date (or even before the release date!) online without even needing cracks. I like to think that most (!) people pirating stuff, would not purchase the pirated product at all if no pirated version were available.

On the other hand, you seem to be missing the number of people just sick of DRM and all the hoops it makes you go through before actually being able to play a game. Some people may just start pirating games because the hoops of running a cracked version are easier than the hoops of running a legit version with all the DRM restrictions. Or they may just give on games altogether and decide to spend their valuable time and money on something else entirely.

So adding DRM may just as well be a net negative for game publishers.

I don't have the data to say which is correct, but just assuming that DRM is profitable because most sales happen in the first week, before a crack is available, seems a bit too simple.
> I'll admit that I've mostly used this "useless knot" test methodology you're criticizing here. But in its defense, it is an easy to do micro-benchmark with consistent results.

That's fair, and it does prove that different knots affect strength differently. That's a base principle that is useful to know even if it doesn't get you far on its own.

With regards to your application: while it lacks the "finesse" of tying knots that give you just enough strength, simply getting stronger twine would solve this problem without the complexity.

In general, there's a whole lot of ways knots can fail. If you can solve the problem by just using stronger cord, that frees up mental cycles for dressing, avoiding slippage, effective communication, ease of untying, etc. If you're just tying up boxes do whatever you feel like doing. But for climbing, I'd rather have the rope be more than strong enough to do its job, and have those brain cycles for focusing on preventing other system failures.

See point 2 above.

You probably are my target market--it's a pretty broad demographic. But if I showed the product to you now, you'd probably be unimpressed and forget about it, which probably loses you as a customer forever. Better to wait another few weeks and give you something that actually solves a problem you actually have.

There's only one chance to make a good first impression.
