We wouldn't be having this conversation if they had won the war - my family would be dead and I would never have been born. Excuse me for not protecting their right to speech (which leads to action).

Nazism isn't a point of contention anymore. We know what their rhetoric leads to (because they were allowed to rise and showed the world what the consequences are). That's why I said they lost the war. It's imho a pretty strong argument to draw the line right there, to ensure the sacrifices were not made for nothing.

It's not clear where the Solar system ends, and it's not clear where a star ends. There are several criteria and they give different numbers. But they have all the same order of magnitude that is much smaller than the distance between the stars. For most orbital calculations you can take the star as a single point, and assume that the space is empty. Aliens probably had done a similar approximation and can count star easily.

I'd probably choose the probability measure itself, rather than the CDF, just because you won't always have a space with a nice order topology.

Of course the expectation value and the probability measure are really two sides of the same coin, the expectation value being equivalent to integration with respect to the probability measure.

Some bike racks are designed to maximize capacity, and you're supposed to roll your front wheel into the rack, between some very narrow vertical bars. You could probably cut the bars with any decent bolt cutter, and certainly with a hacksaw. The U shapes and up-and-down S shapes, where you can move your bike alongside a thick element and lock the frame, are fundamentally better but will still be cuttable.

I haven't tried it, but I think youtube-dl can bypass it

https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/10541

Our own videos have been pirated already and are shared around some torrents sites and on telegram, and there's nothing we can do besides plead to people's sense of moral duty. We're not a huge Hollywood studio or a megacorp. We're just a small bootstrapped company and producing our videos is the most expensive and time-consuming part of our platform. Luckily we still offer some added value besides videos, and make it easy to "do the right thing" and pay a subscription. Yet, we just have to live with piracy I guess. Vimeo didn't prevent it, although perhaps made it only slightly harder.
Why chaos? There's benefit, but small fry.

I'd push for Brexit, Scottish independence, and a rift amongst American democrats and Republicans to weaken these states, so that I might bring my power to bear on a now localised objective in a smaller thus weaker state.

It appears to have worked very effectively in the UK. That anybody can be swayed to believe that one is more powerful than two is crazy hard. The Russians, and the move was so masterful that I believe it was the Russians, made it seem easy -

Frame the whole thing as a servile UK being crushed by German industry. Masterful, and as the referendum shows, it worked.
Their joint distribution is degenerate, so it becomes a bit unclear how to even define entropy.

Personally I'm of the view that the Kullback-Leibler divergence which is defined for arbitrary probability measures (with no special treatment for continuous ones) and which is independent of the choice of coordinates is the true measure of information.

Its downside is that you can only compare 2 distributions that way. For the discrete case you can just pick the uniform distribution as your non-informative base. The issues with the entropy definition for continuous distributions boil down to the problem of picking a uniform distribution for the real numbers.
Addendum: since this is getting downvoted, probably because I didn't explain why this matters beyond philosophical arguments, read my reply down the thread for why the license means in practice I can't use this DAW as a live plug-in host (without a huge hassle). There's a practical concern for you. One that doesn't apply to most proprietary applications, it's very unique to the AGPL.

This looks good, I've been making music with Ardour lately and this has a few features I wish Ardour did.

But - too bad it's not free software. It's unfortunately licensed under an EULA, the GNU AGPLv3 - which, as much as the FSF would like you to believe otherwise, is not a Free Software license, as it violates Freedom 0, your right to use/run the software however you wish without conditions. The AGPL imposes requirements not only on people who distribute the software (like a simple copyright license, e.g. the GPLs, BSD, Apache, etc), but also on people who merely use it (it requires you to make the source code available to anyone who even uses the software indirectly, e.g. as a service).

So I might use if it's good, but I won't be contributing patches to it, as I would with other software like Ardour, and I won't use it in a live setting. I can't in good conscience spend my free time contributing to software behind a EULA.

(I haven't the foggiest clue why they picked this license either; its main purpose is to extend the GPL's virality to network services to the detriment of user freedom, but this isn't a network service.)
One of the ways to apply this inverted thinking is to conduct a "pre-mortem" at the start of a project. By deliberately imagining that something has failed, and speculating about the reasons, you can sometimes uncover useful steps that prevent those imagined failures from actually happening.

I've found this can be quite useful, both for minimizing risk, and also (interestingly) as a source for new product/feature ideas.

To offer an honest answer to an honest question:

Coming to this a couple of hours later I don't perceive what you're saying to be any different to the parent. 'Difficult/annoying to deal with' could easily match 'used to combat abuse'.

I think systems built around effect handlers like pyro and edward2 form a nice corner in the design space by being less reliant on metaprogramming, being fairly composable, and give nicer UIs.

It seems to me that a better English equivalent to umkehren would be turn around. That also fits the text of the article better. That is to say look at the problem from the other side, form another angle. Invert is simultaneously too specific (leading to formulaic methods) and too ambiguous (leading to pointless discussions of whether it means considering putting the steering wheel at the back or on the other side when in fact it means do both).

See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/umkehren

You seem to be assuming that you are the only person who will ever contribute meaningfully to the software. But if, as you probably also hope, the software is widespead and successful, there will most probably arise at least one popular third-party extension/modification. And you will not be able to incorporate this addition into the product which you distribute to your b2b customers; this will make your version of the software inferior to the free version.

The reality is that most of a modelling task is preprocessing your data before it can be passed to a probabilistic model and postprocessing to make decisions using it. The code is usually written in R or Python so there is a strong pressure for your library to be in that language as well.

And being rough around the edges is an ok price to pay for not losing an ecosystem.

Every country outside Europe would like to see a weaker EU. China, India, America and a fair chunk of the middle east and Africa would all be unhappy to see a new unified superpower emerge with a united military.

The idea that Russia has especial interests in this area is questionable. The US has more to gain from the EU breaking up than Russia. Current US president would love to be negotiating with smaller, weaker countries than the EU bureaucracy.

Roofs aren’t infrastructure. Giving money to private schools just helps them raise the price.

We should sponsor public K12 education so that parents never have to “afford” sending kids to school and can work instead of having to care for their children. Then they can spend that money on fixing roofs and buying food.

Ask HN: Newer alternatives to gantt chart when it comes to software delivery?
I've been working with a fairly young startup team for the last 20 months, and we've finally got to the point where we can refine our software delivery processes.

Something that is obviously really valuable is managing priority and delivery across multiple teams effectively.

I'm finding it less than obvious what a concrete solution for this looks like, and potentially what other highly effective teams do?

At the moment we're using a combination of Jira and a Google Sheet. Jira does most of the heavy lifting, but I'm really looking for something that can provide a high level overview of the initiatives that are in delivery across the teams.

The Google Sheet that currently provides this overview isn't really cutting it anymore as we can't provide a lot of context to the intiatives or how things have changed over time.
The original Brexit result was pretty much endorsed when the Tories were re-elected in the election after the referendum. MPs, largely Labour ones, who refused to accept the Brexit result were chucked out by their electorate.

On the contrary, I've found that one of the worst things you can do when demonstrating / deploying a machine learning model is to show the underlying prediction confidences.

You can be right 95% of the time, but critics will only remember, and fault the whole system, because of a single, incorrect, but high confidence error.

Which would be reasonable if that erroneous prediction had fat tail consequences, but in cases I've had this happen, it has not

Anybody who's done hiring will attest that "formal barriers to entry" (i.e. accreditation via certifications and degrees) say very little about a programmer's ability to produce valuable output. Hiring would not be "the big problem" in tech if one could simply outsource the hiring decision to such a formal barrier to entry. But, since formal barriers to entry are demonstrably useless signals specifically for hiring programmers, we resort to all sorts of other superstitions which, when put together, at least bestow a visceral sense of being able to divine a person's ability to produce valuable output. People and companies all seem to have their own preferred superstitions, almost none of which include your "formal barriers to entry".

On how do you tell apart a bad opinion from a good one, the ancient Stoics (lately I'm quoting them more, as I'm immersed in their writings) have some thoughts here. For the longer version, you have to read their works[1], but to give an extremely simplified version, without butchering the concept:

The Stoics have this notion of 'impression' and 'assent'. It goes like this: An impression of walking strikes you. But only after you told yourself "yes, it is fitting for me to walk", thus giving your 'assent' (agreement) to it, will you actually go for a walk. Of course, we know that we don't actually verbalize like that; as it all happens too quickly. Their goal here is to not evade responsibility to shape ones own judgements, opinions, and even emotions "in accordance with reason".

Thus, the Greek philosopher Epictetus' favourite way of describing the Stoic project is: "making correct use of mental impressions".

- - -

The same technique of impression/assent is also used, along with others, to diagnose "passions" (Greek, páthos—it's a loaded word that is used to categorize many emotions, including the debilitating ones). Thus, for the Stoics, the cause of any "passion" is an "error of judgement". What sort of error? Mistaken system of values—there's a ton more to this, but I have to skip it for brevity's sake. FWIW, some reading recommendations on this topic on a thread here[1].

Since golang includes sourcefile parser, it is possible to leverage those libs to reason about and automate stuff regarding sourcefiles. See "go fmt" for a start. Go sourcefiles can just be a storage layer for higher-end purposes then.

What is suggested in ancestor posts is to change storage format, although I think it better to prototype something like using the above first. Integrating into the object model directly, I suspect one would in the end want to design/evolve a language to build a platform specifically for that. You might end up with something similar to Smalltalk, so would need to think if that's the goal or if there's more to accomplish.

The higher order question is: What concerns need to be integrated, and what concerns need to be separated?
Integration may bring new powers, but also risks of evolutions into "big ball of mud".
Decoupling may bring freedoms and independency, but also risks of lack of coherency and unoptimal couplings.

What are the benefits of the current paradigm, and what are the disadvantages? CVS and text-files have worked for a very long time, is cross-platform and works beyond any single project scope. Maybe the golang-approach reaches some sort of optimal equilibrium.

How do you decide when it is a good financial decision to hire a new employee? How do you determine the best financing deals and when is equity vs debt favorable?
