just wow - that’s pretty crazy - it sure would be interesting to find out what signals the logic/code behind the trust dialog actually looks for, and maybe even more interesting why it was designed that way, or if it’s just really buggy.
Analogies break down or.. is this actually within the analogy? Some buses, they permit small variances from the set route to deal with specific issues which can be done en-route.

The simplest is "drop me off anywhere on the route, but only pick up on demand at scheduled stops"

The more complex is "wear one diversion every now and then"

Some small buses actually self-optimize to a locally efficient route. Post-Buses in rural locations.

It is surely possible GPU can segment, into small disjoint sets of "like" and so continue to offer parallelism, but at reduced intensity? Or, have point inefficiencies in the computation, toward the overall goal of "all alike"
It is, but this isn't the first time mainstream news has confused certificates with privileges. (Remember the Facebook VPN thing?)

Can't really disagree, but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with the way people in the US are talking about the response now. Was the US MSM not spending all of January and February telling us "calm down, you know the common flu kills WAY more people than this thing and we don't freak out about it!" and complaining how Trump's proposed Chinese traveler ban was both a) racist and b) would have little to no effect?
That's a heinous mischaracterization of my position. "Misinformation" has a common connotation of intent and malice, not mere accident or disagreement. You know, like when people deliberately misrepresent others' arguments because they think (mistakenly BTW) that it strengthens their own.

Because of that connotation, people call for misinformation to be eliminated from public platforms (i.e. censored). I think that's a terrible idea because we've already seen how that works out, every time Trump yells "fake news" and everyone rushes to suppress whatever got him angry. We don't need more of that.

You obviously feel differently and that by itself is OK, but the tactics you're using exemplify the problem and utterly destroy your own point. Please do continue without me.
Yeah, it's just a heuristic

Individual risk is low, systemic risk is high. With the current the current numbers, the hospitalization rate is over 5% (critical cases). If the infection reaches 10% of the US population, it will require 1.5M hospital beds. Currently there are around 1M, at +60% occupancy.
Good thing I didn't say that, then!

I just assign very low prior probability that "this hobbyist investor I've just met on the internet can beat the market" is true. Not zero, but low. And I think it's a pretty well justified prior.

As a corollary to that, I don't think it's good advice to tell the average retail investor to try their hand at trading because most of the time it will not work out.

If you have managed to do it, more power to you.

The advantages I mentioned was what I saw at a not particularly large hedge fund with short to medium term trading strategies. They didn't do just market making, hedge funds do vol trading too.
"I think Rice's theorem is a big hammer here"

It is certainly a big hammer, but as theoretical computer science tools go, it is pleasingly easy to use. Unfortunately it is pleasingly easy to use in much the same way high explosives are pleasingly easy to blow yourself up with, as it annihilates so many things that we'd rather like to keep. But, still... easy to use.
Terrific man. Glad to see folks be creative and disciplined against meeting culture.

Around here, everyone complains about meetings, yet few do anything about it.

Its just easier to go to meetings, instead of thinking hard to reduce others’ time with google docs, async discussion, etc.

And those who creatively push back against meetings fear being called “hard to work with”

What did Bezos' grandfather say to him?
Trump's performance so far is a massive disappointment to say the least, and more of a parody even by Trump's standard.

I am not sure what he is doing is even remotely serving himself that well either. Addressing the Coronavirus upfront is the only way to cheer up the market right now. Did he really think he can just fight this virus with speech or tweets?

This is bothering me no end, and severely impact my confidence in US itself overall. Damn it, this is a full on crisis, the shit is about to hit the fan so hard.

I remember the days when Microsoft and Intel would host the "PCxx" spec (where xx was the last two digits of the year) and tell everyone what all the standards for desktop machines were going to be for the next few years. Those days are gone though.

12V rail PSUs are nice for a number of reasons but I always liked that you could feed your DC input from the AC side or a battery and have a "free" UPS at the same time. It is a bit tricky with a switching supply since you don't want to have the battery seeing 25Khz power outages as the switcher turns on and off but its very doable. With a little bit of instrumentation you could have the PC itself control charging and monitoring the battery itself so only a minimal amount of hardware needed to give every motherboard its own UPS.
This is not surprising, even very common. The media can easily guide the direction of public opinion. After all, there are not many people who think independently (Fortunately, most of the people on the HN were able to make their own judgments).

This is true, but in the Skyrim case nearly all items are small enough that a 'near optimal' answer is the indicated algorithm, with that extra space a more literal 'garbage collection' free zone.

In videogames, making the user GC isn't fun, and therefore reducing the number of GCs is more optimal than strictly solving the problem.

This seems like marketing hype. Lt's create some new food thing which allows us to put some flash claim on the wrapper.

This seems to be aimed at a health concience crowd, maybe the sort of thing which would be in special displays with overpriced products which people most in need won't even look at. Would this invention make its way to products in dollar stores? Walmart?

Cutting sugar in half likely won't help most people who are obese. They're still going to be eating too much of the wrong food. Much of this food isn't even sweet.

At least drinking the Koolaid might involve less sugar. ;)

Tesla team on making our 1000000th car
I have been mulling cancelling my Facebook account for a while now. Today as I was browsing I saw several Scientology ads. I know Facebook doesn't have an agenda per se - you have the money, they have the adspace - but I was still struck by the brazenness of advertising something whose ethical dubiousness has been so thoroughly publicized.

Facebook will never change unless they are forced to. We have signed away perhaps one of the most important experiments ever in digital social networking to a behemoth that chips away at your humanity the longer you stay on it. People who think I'm being dramatic almost always underestimate exactly how much data Facebook, Google, et al. collect on you and the extent to which they use it to manipulate you emotionally or with your wallet. Every facet of Facebook is designed to coerce you into an addiction that results in you spending more and more time on the site while you consume ever more advertising content.

These enormous tech companies are kind of like the fast food of the Internet. They have erased individuality and served us an experience that is mass produced and shrink wrapped for our convenience. It's delicious and addictive, but we keep being told lies about the quality and safety of what we are consuming. We've become so reliant on it we've forgotten how to cook, if you'll extend the metaphor.

I increasingly hate a lot of the what the Internet is. I always feel watched and directed to the point where I have trouble trusting what I'm reading, like watching manufactured drama in a reality TV show. I'm planning on setting up my own website as an expressive space where I can go to be creative and try to consume thoughtful content and (hopefully) make thoughtful content for people in return. I'm hoping there's a world of expressiveness and fun to be had in interacting with people on the Internet on one's own terms.

Hope it turns out well!
Most parsing in web standards is. There doesn't exist a way to validate an email address since the official spec is quite complex and then email servers can just ignore it and accept emails on addresses that shouldn't be valid.

This often becomes a pain in the ass when a single piece of software is strict on the rules that everything else ignores. Officially subdomains can't have underscores in them but the browser and everything else will allow it just fine except when you try to get a certificate and lets encrypt tells you that you have an invalid domain.

It's not a great Wikipedia entry, agreed.

I was left wondering if the topic is inherently that difficult or if this is just another case of le Wik being kinda dense for maths and comp sci. Looking around a bit at other links in this thread, I'm gathering it's the latter.
Its quite common in the quantitative finance world. Unscrupulous people steal a model, try and peddle it to a competitor. Thing is most models only work if noone (or only a few others) are doing the same. Usually when approached, most firms stay above board and report it to the person's employer.

Citadel, for instance sued a former employee for steeling a model (he emailed the source for a model to his personal email. He was sued in federal at 8am on a Monday, fired at noon. Criminal charges came months later. Tried dispose g of the evidence by tossing hard drives in the Chicago River. Dive teams were involved to recover the drives. But, Citadel already had all they needed because they monitored all outgoing and internal communication, including MITMing SSL email services.

How much does grad school ranking matter for ML PhD?
I got my undergrad and master's at HYP/MIT/Stanford. I am considering Ml PhD at a top 12 school or #1 school but I really think the professors at the top 12 school can provide me better research opportunities and placement after graduation. They are also ranked as high as top prof's at top schools at csrankings.org.

While you're prepping, lentils, dal (dried split peas), and dried beans, are all very shelf stable proteins. Pair with hard skin squash and pumpkins, which also keep for a while, and of course rice. Powdered butter is a shelf stable fat, also nuts though they're more expensive.

Even if you don't use it now because food supply chains don't end up majorly affected, this kind of stuff is handy to have around in case of an a more immediate emergency.
You should try telling that to a poor person in this country. Your experience “lacks perspective”. This is the wealthiest and most powerful country on earth. How we treat our poor and sick says a lot about us as a country.
For interpolation, averaging, etc. anything based on RGB is not going to give good results. For example, if you average pure red and pure blue, you should get something like pure purple. But if you do that in RGB you'll get #7f007f, a much darker color than either pure red or pure blue. If you do it with LAB, you'll get #ca0088, which is perceptually about as bright as either of the colors you started with.

>But the pop-up won’t let us pass without clicking “agree”. Opting out is an illusion.

I mean this is a weird way to phrase it but you definitely cannot participate in modern society without hindering yourself in various meaningful ways if you do not "opt-in" to giving up your privacy. "Opt-in" requirements have consequently struck me as "privacy theatre" which mostly irritates.

I don't see any solution for the current privacy situation other than regulation and enough liability attached to data breaches to make hoarding customer data a good way to go bankrupt.
Huh? Your implicit assumption seems to be that if you don’t have a mask, you are 100% likely to die. That is just not so, and borders on paranoia.
I only know from my own experience and I’m essentially self taught, so I don’t know what industry norms are only what has worked for me and my customers.

The instruments and controlled devices are wired to a PLC such as Allen Bradley control logix or Schneider electric m580. The PLC generally reads the inputs, executes the program, and updates the outputs every 10ms. HMI software running on a computer such as inductive automation ignition, vtscada, wonderware, citect, etc reads data from the PLC to display to the operator and record for history. Protocols are often modbus or common industrial protocol (CIP) which is also called, or some flavor of it, the ridiculous name of Ethernet/IP, but that’s the kind of shit you get in industrial automation.

I generally set the HMI software to record my 2500 values once per second.

During testing it is common to use a data acquisition system that can sample even much faster than the PLC runs, eg 1 kHz.
>Why would he be?

Read Black Swan, by NNT.
His thesis is that the most significant impacts on an individual and/or a collective are the function of outliers or "Black Swans". In a Malcolm Gladwell kind of way, he uses a bunch of anecdata to prove his thesis. It's a pretty good book I suppose, but it was also before the all the faux-philosophy Malcolm Gladwell type books became a thing.

>I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.

Agreed. Actually it has always been a good idea but the costs associated with unlimited liability pushed the industry away from any commercial implementation. Some of the modern ideas, like the traveling wave reactor, have quite a bit going for them.

In a different political climate one could imagine a small reactor feeding a community rather than a substation.

I don't think it is politically possible for civilian use but military use of small reactors is well documented in the Navy.

Electric vehicles are a long way from the sort of mileage that would allow them to effectively replace vans and RVs. We routinely drive 5-800 miles in a day in our van. This isn't going to be possible until battery replacement takes over from battery charging.

And yes, our van has 120VAC (1kW) available, but I prefer to use it only for things where's there no alternative (e.g. our toaster, or recharging laptops, sigh).

As far rooftop, we have the long Sprinter with about as much solar as you can get on the roof given that you need (at least) an exhaust fan. That gets us to 540W. The most I've ever seen on a van was 3kW and that was an ... insane ... physical setup.

I've used amazon go - the tech worked very well for me. They have at least 4 or 5 stores in San Francisco alone - I'd guess 20+ at least if you include Seattle or wherever else they are operating. I haven't see the go grocery store yet.

Can you give us a sense of how many transactions standard is doing every day with it's tech that's further along / more deployed than Amazon? At least the SF location I visited had steady traffic so Amazon is collecting some real data (selection a bit limited so go grocery interesting to me)

> You are continuing to not understand causes.

I'm making two separate arguments. (1) the disease is fairly well contained at the moment due to the actions of the CCP in China -- cases dropped from 80K to 17K there (and global cases are down to 42K from a peak of 58K) and that's good numbers; (2) even if the world got it, it wouldn't be nearly as big a deal as the preppers, doom-sayers and the breathless media are making it out to be. Through a combination of actually pretty low mortality rates and the fact coronaviruses are well enough known (SARS, MERS and of course 15% of the common cold) that a vaccine and potential treatment has a big head start.

61 million folks got swine flu in America and 12,000 people died here alone. So far, 500 people have nCoV-19 and 27 people have died.
