A must-watch for everyone. This has to be one of the most amazing talks I've seen, super-impressive and useful. Life-changing. It's about how to improve all your relationships, interactions, your life, the lives of everyone around you, the world etc. How to communicate far better, leave people glad they met you etc. While being totally honest at all times–I presumed it'd be about body language, or manipulation, or..using people, or something.

So I watched another of his talks, How to Build Trust with Anyone, it was just as good.

Deep Learning doesn't necessarily require a huge amount of data. What DL does is allow you to fit more complex relationships between input and output than would be the case with, say, a bog standard linear model. If a relationship is complex and also clearly defined in your data, then you don't necessarily need much. In general it's true that may not be the case, but that doesn't make "deep learning requires lots of training data" true, only that "the data used for deep learning models is typically noisy on top of representing a complex relationship".

It's a semantic difference, but a very important one if we're to avoid going down the road of just mindlessly throwing compute at every problem. And if we do that, we'll just wind up with millions of Rube Goldberg machines instead of actually solving problems.

The change in logic of the real world thing is absolutely spot on, though. Over enough time it becomes basically impossible to disentangle effects.

You’re correct. It seems though that there’s something about the level of - I can’t think of a less ridiculous phrase than - adaptive engagement you marshall while performing tasks that’s important.

a director watching a cut of a movie, weighs every detail with a focus that is quite unlike the mental state of the public audience. I think that changes the way they watch all films, always dissecting.

So I’m assuming the importance of television isn’t that it’s television, but that it’s minimally stimulating activity, so easily within your cognitive capacity as to require neither physical nor mental discipline nor adaptation, requiring just enough from you to displace sleep.

I don’t watch a lot of tv, but I choose to take this as a warning I need to do less scrolling

Edit: one thing in particular that stands out is the discussion of television being fast paced, fleeting information, I wonder if I’m viewing adaptation incorrectly here, what if it’s that we are exhausting our adaptive capacity, training ourselves on static?
How Programming languages got their names
Chrome apparently tested zstd out, and it's an improvement over Chrome's forked and optimized zlib on x64, but slower on ARM/Android. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=912902...

Few (or none?) of Chrome's fairly dramatic improvements to zlib have been upstreamed. https://github.com/madler/zlib/issues/346

Edit: Also, if browsers do adopt zstd, it's likely you'll end up with the same situation where they fork their own implementation of zstd. Upstreaming requires signing Facebook's CLA, which has patent clauses that don't work for most.
They're designed to appear that way, it doesn't mean they actually are imagining anything. We need to be very careful about accidental anthropomorphism when it comes to models 0 seeing an analogy between the output in front of you and the human mind can blind us to the reality of what's going on. Which is often more prosaic, even if complicated.

Hello Sean

Great work!

What are your thoughts on Janus webrtc signaling server and do you consider targeting it?

I am building a drone fleet manager with live video and integration with other video sources and have been working with Janus because it allows me to be cloud/premises independent. What are your thoughts on cloud independence for webrtc?
Thanks! I did google around, but didn't come across this. I'll update the article.
We know theoretically that language in general is non-context-free. However, proven examples of non-context-free-ness are rare. The field has not really moved away from CFGs as the basis for formalisms (otherwise we can't really parse anything), but the complexity of attributes that need to be passed around to account for even basic phenomena (agreement, question or relative-clause formation, etc.) is such that CFG trees become very complex. Instead people (HPSG and CCG people, for instance) now prefer to use lexicalist models with everything stuffed inside lexical units with complex bottom-up derivation/unification rules.
The Non-Human Living Inside of You
I don't know why you felt necessary to rephrase the final conclusion (I've read it - notice, by the way, that it was also the conclusion of the original benchmark) nor to introduce Torvalds' style (I mentioned I'm familiar with it).

Anyway, I do not think that a forum that calls itself "hacker news" should adhere to that dogma that any topic claimed by an authority to be complex should never be re-implemented on first principles. And I doubt the young Linus would have paid much attention to that kind of advice when he started developing a new operating system.

Personally, the conclusion I take from that thread is simpler:

On a situation when N threads are runnable on N cores with N-1 calling sched_yield(), one must not expect the Nth thread never to be scheduled out for a whole slice on Linux (for some or all of the reasons listed by Linus, none of which seems to address that exact case unfortunately).
It wouldn't be that expensive if the practice of mortgage wasn't so rampant. It's worth what people are willing to pay for it. And like i said, if people lived with their family longer,even after marriage and houses were passed along generations more, there would even less demand driving down the cost. Not too many decades ago, all you had to do is save up a few years (US) to buy a house, am I wrong? It costs an arm and a leg now because the default way is debt and people will take on a million dollars of debt with $30k/yr income if someone gives them the loan. So the driver of housing prices is not people's income but bank's willingness to loan -- that's why it costs decades ,one spectacular example of why debt is not "ok".

That's fair.

I doubt anyone using these kinds of licenses really thinks they are going to "work" from the point of view of significantly limiting that behaviour.

They do, however, act as a way to advertise the issues—this article being an example of how using a license like that causes people to publicise and maybe think about your issues.

The final suggestion in the article is working to enact better laws: starting and maintaining the conversation is the first step to doing that.
Its not unusual that a dev job get thousands of applications. But what should the job seekers do? If you do the math the work seeker has to apply for 1000 jobs to have a statistical chance to find a match.

The market doesn't work because its unbalanced. For example on a dating site where women do not reach out to men, the women will complain about the low quality, and the men has to mass message. Leading to very few matches.

It the employer would however actively search for candidates the market would be more balanced, and lead to more matches.

The problem is that instead of looking themselves, employers use recruiters. What if there would be recruiters in the dating market. That wouldn't work at all. You would tell the recruiter that you want someone that is intelligent and kind. But you still dont get any matches. Because you dont know what you want until you see it.

Im thinking of like an expo where workers show their skills and portfolios and the employees show what they are working on and the problems they are solving.
This is easy to say for Mac, where there’s a “true” platform framework. It’s not as clear cut for Windows/Linux, and hell if I’m going to spin my wheels writing UI code for ages. It’s been beaten to death relentlessly but there’s a reason nobody actually does this anymore.

It’s also seriously funny that it’s the same accounts that argue this stuff every time it comes up on this site. ;P
I wonder were the effect comes from:

- is that the medium itself (and the fact we watch it passively)?

- is that the fact that it replaces other activities?

- is that the retarded content it shows?

- is that the stressful content that appears in the news all the time (crimes, natural catastrophes, war, terror attack, etc.)?

- is that the way it's shot (with non-stop movement, even when nothing happens,just to keep us watching)?
VC investment is not debt, I have no problem with trading equity for investment.

It is slightly different for business than people since a business loan is more on a case by case basis than consumer loans. With consumer debt, entire markets are restructures with consumer's ability to get loans in order to afford goods and services.
Yes. Or, the software will export everything into some common format, that could be opened with any GIS viewer, and we've just gotten around the restriction?

In UK law (I am not familiar with any other legal jurisdictions), that licence agreement isn't a contract at all — even with that line about specific performance included — because no consideration (something of value) has been given by the developer intending to use the software, the licensee.

If such a licence were to be subject to the jurisdiction of UK courts, I don't think the licensor (or the recipient as a third-party beneficiary) would win.
Python's Builtin Map Function
I agree that fear of an invisible sky god is not required. But wrestling with the questions I listed may still be required. Caution: this may not lead you to 'shallow judgements' nor provide 'easy rule following'.

YMMV - or, efforts may predict results. Just as there may be 'jobseekers' who have hardly sought, so there may be 'seekers of the truth' who, upon finding that the supreme divinity wasn't physically manifesting on their first command, then decided that the system was bogus, and shut the shop down from then on. But we can still have dogs, which will at least come over on command. (Is this why it's 'god' spelled backwards?...the secret's in the runes?). And dogs are love.

Whereas if one took a different attitude, saying that God > job (crazy, I know, in capitalism), then possibly a similar amount of effort might be expected.
Then if a little seeking is permitted, it becomes only a question of trying different entrances. I hear good things about Kierkegaard (e.g. 'Works of love'); but no doubt there are many entrances.

Wow that's a whole lot of progress in very little time. I've been waiting for this crossover since the early days of WebTorrent. Once enough popular clients implement this, in theory all clients could simply move over to using web sockets and deprecate the old methods.

> Half of a book is still under copyright of the whole thing

But what was described isn't "half of a recording". Imagine the "publish to extend copyright" applied to books too - would publishing the book with half the text blacked out still extend the original book's copyright?

That's just my naive take on it (i know nothing about copyright law). Your movie music argument might already be enough to show that I'm incorrect.
This is all in response to a blog post titled ”Measuring mutexes, spinlocks and how bad the Linux scheduler really is”. Based on the content and tone of that post, I think Linus’s tone is fair.

Source: My own grandmother (80yo in 2019)

I have observed in my grandmother that she displays markedly lower cognitive decline when compared to her peers (friends and family around the same age).

Here are some (maybe biased) observations.

In the early 80s (at 40+yo) my grandmother was working as a secretary in a small office and went through the change from mechanical typewriters to electronic ones. While she was doing this the majority of her friends where 100% house wives.

In the early 90s(at 50+yo) my grandmother learned to use a T9 mobile phone by herself. Her friends didn't have a mobile phone for years, and even myself would only have a mobile phone much later than her. (in fact i remember her teaching me how to navigate a Nokia that she gave me when she upgraded)

In the early 2000's (at 60+yo) my grandmother bought a Windows XP PC, learned how to use it from scratch (had never used a computer in her life) and started to browse the internet, write emails, copy photos from digital cameras on to the computer etc. At the same time, her friends had no clue how to use a computer.

In the 2010's my grandmother quickly transitioned to iPad to browse the web / iPhone to keep up with grandchildren on social media. Her friends would only come to have a smartphone and join the social media revolution in the mid 2010s.

And so is not reading the second half of comments.
Historical doesn't really communicate much, but the tension between neoclassicism vs. the baroque or rationalism vs. romanticism are good places to start. Early American architecture was very neoclassical (for example, most of the monuments in Washington D.C.) but you don't get much baroque architecture in the U.S., as the highpoint of baroque was in the 1600's and early 1700's.

The short version is that at certain times, ornamentation has been seen as gaudy and excessive, while at other times it was perceived as richer and less boring than more functional or minimal architecture.

The only possible purpose of these licenses is to act as Super Codes of Conduct, CoCs which can "kick out" people who aren't in the project by making it too difficult for them to keep using the software when one of the contributors could pull the trigger on legal action. The action doesn't have to be successful to be expensive to fight, after all; it's the old troll tactic of making the danegeld less expensive than the battle would be.

Poof. Now anyone you don't like can't even use the software, let alone fork it and go their own direction with it. Ballmer could hardly have done it better.

I said invaded not annexed, the US is not trying to directly expand it’s borders.

But roll back 100 years and the US was occupying, Nicaragua 1912–1933, Haiti 1915–1934, and the Dominican Republic 1916–1924. Which is outside WWI when we invaided Germany, Austria-Hungary, and pre USSR Russia.

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

Note, that’s a conservative list excluding the Vietnam and Korean War etc, assignations and or drone strikes for example the recent killing of Qasem Soleimani in Iran etc. As well as policing actions where we invade for humanitarian reasons etc.

PS! Also, the USSR ‘annexed’ several countries which where all part of Germany at the time and thus no longer existed. Though that’s somewhat arguable from a political if not practical standpoint.

All the tech and theory was already out there. There was no shortage of visionaries. Take for example Engelbart's Mother of all Presentations (1968). Paik, like many artist showed that art and poetry is in that domain. In the early days there was alot of talk about abstract capabilities and not much concrete play.
In the most potent cases, professors would find it totally laughable that their graduate curriculums be facilitated by TV watching rather than books.

If someone told me that the only way to learn linear algebra or calculus would be from a textbook I'd have believed them when I was at university (about 25 years ago). If someone told me that now I'd send them some great YouTube content that explains it far better than any math textbook I've ever seen. I think that says more about professors than about how people are able learn difficult subjects.

I don't think books are going to go away, and I think it's important to cultivate an enjoyment of reading in children so they can read complex subjects later in life, but the common line that "books are better for you than TV" in adults who aren't reading for education is just something that I think is hard to justify. People always end up comparing low-brow TV with high-brow books to show how TV is bad. That's what I think is unreasonable.
In Amusing Ourselves To Death the author does go into a lot of detail about how "the medium is the message", or as he extends it, "the medium is the metaphor". Postman contends that Television as a medium has significant problems.

Given that you're bring up lectures and MOOCS, it's definitely worth being more clear about what Postman understands as constituting the medium of TV. It's not merely the transmission of audio-visual content, it's is the whole technology, taking the concept of "technology" in the broad sense. For example, the usage of music in TV is part of the technology, and it is usually conspicuously absent from MOOC lectures.

Postman would not consider a digital textbook as TV, but if such a textbook were borrow from TV, for example using conventional drama narrative as a device then he would be against that.

Does this more or less resolve the problem? TV != digital textbooks or MOOC lectures.

Hard disagree. Microsoft has practically abandoned Xamarin and is doing React Native themselves these days. Qt tried on mobile but never took off, there's hardly any mobile apps made with it and the few there are feel very out of place. Note that I really like Qt/QML so I wish it fared better -- please let me know if you have some success stories to share.

Flutter is the last option for Dart to stay relevant sure. You learn a programming language in a couple of days though so it just doesn't matter, and doesn't change the fact that in mobile world C# and C++ are just as irrelevant. I worked for years with C++, but I don't expect to ever again need it in a professional setting.

This is of course just from mobile perspective. Everywhere else Flutter is currently useless, and Qt/C# perhaps a good choice.
