Generative Adversarial Networks – A Deep Learning Architecture
I think there's potential for things like Apple's U1 chip and Google's Soli chip to add cheap and accurate gesture control to consoles without the need to hold controllers at all. Add an array of mics and the next gen of Guitar Hero can be based on a group's singing and dancing but graded on a per-voice / per-body basis.

Because of a console's placement in front of a group instead of attached to a single person's head, I think it's better positioned for a wide variety of entertainment experiences.

Large TVs are now cheap enough that they can fill an entire group's field of vision with a shared experience as opposed to having to buy 1 headset per person. Obviously turning your head ruins the immersion of a TV, but I would argue that's not always a bad thing. Sometimes it's fun to be "trapped" in VR, but sometimes it just makes the experience more isolating and difficult to operate (eg how do I watch my kids playing on the other side of the room while I have a headset on?).
I'd even say working cooperatively with a different species is a step above doing so with your own species, because you have to bridge the cognition gap and model another species' mental processes as well as your own.
Indeed. Someone open sourcing their previously closed project will always get my upvote. :)

In this case the code is likely pretty messy. The repo explains that it was ported from a Flash game and a lot of the bad hacks used to make it work in Flash were ported to C++ more or less verbatim.
I was actually speaking to an older cohort there. I can see how it was wording badly.

I think young people should consider a living will with advanced medical directives for things like pvs, and older/terminally ill people should consider the impact of DNRs, but not lightly.

The shortcomings for Helm are relatively spot on, but I feel like the ship has sailed for tools that aren't Helm based. The ecosystem partners (and thus, end users) have rallied around Helm charts as the defacto manifest format, so a tool that doesn't understand Helm charts will not see a lot of adoption. Are there any plans for Tanka to support importing existing Charts?
> I never saw captain Kirk recharging his

Well, if the current trend of battery improvements holds, and considering the unfathomable amounts of money and time thrown at the problem, we're hopefully about 10 years away from devices that can last 1 week on a single charge. Not quite Captain Kirk material, but we have about 240 years to get there.

Depends. But usually being first author counts for more in most fields. However, e.g. in particle physics papers with hundreds of authors are common, alphabetically sorted. Sucks to be Z. Zymmer, nice to be A. Aaronson. People from the field of course know about this. Sometimes they might even act accordingly. But politicians and administrators far too often don't.

And then there is bibliometrics, the art of lying with publication statistics. Everything humans get wrong is even worse there. A. Aaronson is different from Al. Aaronson, right? No paper has more than 3 authors, right? Journals always count for something, conferences don't, right? etc.
About the only VR game that's ever seemed appealing to me is that table top simulator game.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/286160/Tabletop_Simulator...

Personally, I'd love to get a group of people together and play a DND campaign or something with it, but other than that, I don't have any interest in VR games.

If anything, these days, I prefer quicker, less immersive games I can pick up and play and put down again. VR's the opposite of that in just about every way.
Hey we've been using ksonnet since before kustomize existed and we've just rewritten it to be more flexible with much more focus.

Further we use jsonnet a lot (including generating dashboards) and in general found it much more powerful and useful compared to plain YAML. From a customary glance, I can't find if kustomize supports jsonnet.
In case you didn't know, you can also block all 3rd-party JS with uBO.
The problem is that readability is largely a matter of naming conventions, organization, and adherence to known patterns. The language becomes more readable as you use it. Anything that isn't a C derivative is unreadable if you only know C.

There are of course actual blockers to readability, like usage of similar-looking sigils and poor system library naming, but otherwise the syntax really doesn't tell you any useful information. It's the semantics that tell you how it'll all fall apart
Maybe you do. I don't. Syntax is something that has a substantial impact on how I think and work. Presentation overall matters immensely.
Anchors also don't work with a list of elements.

For instance, if we want to share steps in a YAML based CI config we can't if they are a list.
Lua in helm3 seems interesting, but it's not prime time yet. That makes me explore other options because helm's limitation in reusable templates is painful. Jsonnet seems to be working for several companies as well as kustomize. I'm still looking for something simple to template my manifests for different environments.

I’m starting to think the Facebook / Google way of harvesting data may really be over complicated. This kind of services shows people are willing to pay to give personal data that literally defines them as individuals to a commercial entity.
The capacity to be bored in itself is a sign of intelligence. The ability to identify an independent intelligence with its own goals, discern those goals, identify a course of action that will help that intelligence, and then execute that course of action simply because you're bored, is evidence of higher intelligence than we expect from fellow humans most of the time.
I agree with almost everything you said. Fair Use is definitely protected though, as it's a core component of the US copyright law that helped shape the rest of the law, not an exception or amendment that was added later. Copyright basically couldn't exist as we know it without Fair Use. However, it is definitely subjective and always evaluated on a case-by-case basis, though there are often precedents set which help you understand the likely judgements of Fair Use before you're in court.

I was definitely being imprecise with my wording though, as I was thinking about a _transformative_ work when I read their attorney say "derivative" work, where a transformative work is a type of derivative work that is protected by [subjective] Fair Use.

I also agree with you though that I wouldn't even necessarily consider this a transformative work of the other map, as that assumes he started with the other map. But just starting with the same facts, which aren't copyrightable, and following standard cartographic conventions while exercising the author's own artistic expression into the final rendition would just be a separate work entirely.
Wow, used this extensively in my undergrad. Always used the free version. I remember occasionally running into the "too many nodes" error. Thanks to the creator for releasing the full version for free. I'm sure many EE undergrads will be grateful.
The paper expands on "disadvantages of color vision":

https://academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-article/doi/10.1093/mol...

> Color vision requires opponent neural mechanisms that compare the output of different spectral photoreceptor types. Inhibitory interactions between photoreceptor channels can decrease the signal-to-noise ratio and, therefore, may degrade the ability to detect subtle differences in image contrast (Kelber and Roth 2006); in dim light, a monochromatic visual system may be capable of discriminating a greater number of distinct reflectance spectra than a di- or trichromatic one, purely based on intensity differences (Vorobyev 1997). Color vision also degrades spatial acuity, especially when the spectral peaks of the photoreceptor channels are widely separated, because the signals from different cones types will reflect both spectral and intensity differences in the image (Roorda et al. 2001). For this reason, many animals rely predominantly on a single spectral channel to convey high-resolution achromatic spatial information (Lind and Kelber 2011), but of course any other spectral cone types are then taking up valuable retinal “real estate” that could otherwise be used to improve resolution in bright light (i.e., more receptors per degree of visual angle) and/or reduce noise in dim light (i.e., through neural summation). Due to absorption, reflection, and scattering by the water itself and any dissolved or suspended substances, most aquatic habitats are characterized by low visual contrast. Moreover, many sharks are active both night and day and must therefore operate under a wide range of light intensities. It is likely therefore that sharks are often operating close to the threshold of their visual capabilities where the disadvantages of color vision circuitry might be detrimental to survival.

Complement means when two things go well together.
This isn't a complete answer, but consider a series of data points describing a line. E.g., (0,0,0,0), (1,1,1,1), (2,2,2,2), .... It's possible to have lines even in any n-dimensional space, but the data is "high dimensional" -- you're using a large number of variables to describe a fairly simple process.

Contrast that example with any sufficiently large, uniform sampling of the n-dimensional unit cube. The data is inherently high dimensional, and any attempt (attempts from a certain class of allowed methods -- no need to burden ourselves with the details) to reduce from n to k<n dimensions will throw away some important information about the structure of the data.

Interestingly, it's very possible to have a low dimensional representation of a high dimensional process. One of the other comments mentioned the example of a photograph representing a 3D scene (also containing a week, implicit view into some other variables like temperature). That transformation from 3D->2D is inherently lossy, but for some kinds of problems a finite sampling of a low dimensional representation allows you to uniquely reconstruct a high dimensional data representation. I haven't read the article yet, but the other comments seem to indicate something of that flavor happening here.
You should take a look at Z Notation, which is a formal specification language based around mathematics & set theory.

The lag problem strongly suggests (to me, a non-expert) that this is predominantly a software/driver issue, which isn’t that difficult to believe for a pre-release version of a device aimed at developers to jumpstart “an ecosystem”.

The Altair 8080 is considered the first PC and it was released in 1974. The IBM PC was released in 1981 and PCs became widespread only in the 1990's, when they started adding multimedia features. So about 20 years for mass adoption.

The first touchscreen phone was introduced in 1994, the IBM Simon. Yet the first true modern smartphone to get mass adoption was the iPhone, 2007. And truly massive adoption worldwide happened after iOS and especially Android took off, a few years later.

VR has been around as a purely techie idea for 30 years but we haven't really had the tech for something worthwhile until recently. I'd say that we're probably 5-10 years from mass adoption, once we have some lighter high-performance headsets.
> "I've spent lots of time working solo, so while I've learned how to wear many hats, I don't have much experience working as part of a team."

That is a carefully rehearsed answer making the weakness look fixable instead of being serious weakness.

> sincerely and honestly state a reasonable weakness.

No, the question was "what's your biggest weakness", the "I haven't practiced doing this kind of work" is not a big weakness, everyone have bigger weaknesses than that due to their personality.

An honest answer would be "I am much slower learning technical things than my peers" or "I am competitive so I often come in conflict with my peers" or "I am afraid of conflict so I have a hard time making decisions" or "I get bored easily so I have a hard time finishing things" or "I constantly wear a mask so people never learn to know the real me" or "I don't like being proven wrong" or "I judge peoples competence by how much I like them rather than what they actually do" etc.

There is not a single person who doesn't have one weakness like that since many of them are a spectrum where no position is good. The "correct" answer is of course like you said, you give an easily fixable weakness like "I don't fully understand how deployment pipelines work since someone else did most of the work where I worked previously". But such answers are so easy to come up with, and are guaranteed not to be their biggest weakness, so you are basically checking whether they are fine with lying or lack self awareness.

This is the real story. That's absolutely nuts, and yet I know that someone is going to chime in to say that it's not a living wage in Silicon Valley. Which is also nuts.

In China they build entire skyscrapers within days, by working on it 24/7. Apparently it's possible to switch out workers. We don't build buildings that fast over here, because reasons.

I'm wondering if our computers ain't five times faster, because of reasons, too.
From the article:

> For example, maybe my worst programming habit is declaring temporary variables like i, j and k as members of each class, so that I didn’t have to declare them inside functions (which is annoying to do in flash for boring reasons). This led to some nasty and difficult to track down bugs, to say the least. In entity collision in particular, several functions will share the same i variable. Infinite loops are possible.

Ask HN: A smartwatch that does not send your data God knows where?
I do medical research involving wearables / smartwatches and I don't want patients to have to use an app that sends their data to some random, probably foreign, company's server. This is especially problematic within Europe and GDPR because fitness data can be seen as health-related information [1], especially in a medical context.

I am interested in the typical stuff: step counts, (24h) heart rate and possibly sleep detection. Nothing exotic.
To conduct my research, I would need to access the data, either because the user sends it to me, or (better) I can build myself an app that retrieve the data via Bluetooth or a local file or a database of some sort (e.g. HealthKit).

So I am looking for a wearable that either a) has its own app, but keeps the data locally (and makes it accessible) or b) has a known Bluetooth protocol I can access with my app or c) is programmable.
The device must be compatible with both Android and iOS, because we want to use patients' phones.

I am really struggling to find one.

As always with anything about systemd, it's impossible to know if it's satire without looking at the source code. Sometimes, not even then.
This is really great! I wish they wouldn't call it "open source", though. It looks like a source-available license:

Reading the Letters to the Editor and similar features in older magazines and newspapers reveals something that would be unthinkable today: it was common for the home address of the person writing to the periodical to be published along with their letter.

This no longer happens.

Is it the information that's the problem or is the problem what others are willing to do with that information?
