Improv (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvisational_theatre ) is among other things an art of building worlds and stories by justification of things you don't understand. So naturally there is an "An Improvised Theatre Experiment" called "Improbotics" (https://improbotics.org/) from Belgium where a generated text pronounced by robot is used in improv scenes in multitude of different ways.

According to Ben Verhoeven's interview taken 2020-06-11 by Moscow Improv Club (https://www.instagram.com/tv/CBTQsCanQ4g/ ) they used GPT-2 finetuned on movie subtitles.

I guess my view is probably a devil's advocate on HN, but I actually view cancel culture as (mostly) good. I believe that that power should always be as decentralized as possible. Because of that, I think power should be taken away extremely easily. That's what we're seeing with cancel culture; power being taken away, sometimes even for less then I would agree with. Overall though, I think the message it sends is good - be extremely careful not to abuse your power/platform, or else expect it to maybe be taken away. I just hope the net result is that we don't give so much of our attention and power to so little people in the future, and instead find ways to spread it out.

On the contrary I'd say a very notable feature the US culture is the adversarial view people have of the government. It's practically part of every major party's platform.
>The second amendment itself grants the people the right to violence against a tyrannical government

Who believes this? Some people believe in a separate and pre-existing right to rebel, and some may not, at least legally, but I'm not aware that anyone believes the 2nd amendment grants the right. People commonly claim that the motivation for the 2nd amendment is to make rebellion possible, but that's not the same thing as granting the right.

I was amazed to come from no background in architecture to getting a land survey converted in to Blender 3D model and having accurate sun simulations running on architectural concepts within a week or two.

Also, plant trees. Trees last a long time (longer than many houses), cost nearly nothing and provide excellent psychological and physical features which built environment cannot match.

I don't have a lot of faith that we will resolve this, but the 'Net Neutrality' vs. 'Ban Someone I Don't Like' hypocrisy is dizzying.

The positions are ideological and naive - they are obviously contradictory - it's only that when they are framed in certain ways, often 'straw-man-ish', do people think they have clarity on them.

For example, it's easy to understand why we don't want Verizon charging customers different prices based on the nature of the content. It's easy for us to want to 'ban Nazis' from Reddit. But both of those are unrealistic ideals (i.e. straw men) because neither contemplate the broader application. It's a very slippery slope.

It's not a big deal that Nazis get banned from somewhere, and maybe it's not a big deal that Verizon wants to design services such that your profitable business costs 2x on their network - but those bounds expand very rapidly.

On the front pages of CNN and Fox right now we have a completely ridiculous war over 'Goya' canned foods because of some arbitrary comments the founder made about Trump.

This issue is only going to get much worse and more complicated over time.

We have basically no choice but to define what kinds of businesses can use what thresholds, and try to infer what those thresholds are.

> California, for example, you might think has beautiful parts because of "being blue", but California wasn't always "blue", and it wasn't until the 90s where it started consistently going blue...which means the majority of it's natural beauty was designed and led under "red" leadership.

Not at all true. It's true California used to be a Republican Presidential stronghold that flipped very quickly to the Democrats in the 90s, without much competitive period in between. But it has had Democratic state legislative majorities consistently since the 1950s (with Republicans holding the Assembly speakership less than 5 years and the Senate Presidency Pro Tem less than 2 years since 1957.) Democrats have also dominated most statewide Constitutional offices besides the Governorship since about the 1970s, with the Governor's office not seeing the same kind of of super-long-term one-party domination.

JANUS looks great on paper, but is pretty restrictive for doing anything useful in real life.

At the standard frequency bands they've chosen (9440-13600 Hz), with the type of coding scheme they use FH-BFSK, the bandwidth is too limited (4KHz -> ) to do anything except service discovery.

Having said that, I agree, it should have been mentioned.

Only one row at a time has voltage applied to it. In one update, the image is scanned out multiple times, so it appears as if all pixels were changing simultaneously (and perhaps they do, if the electrodes have significant capacitance.)

With fewer rows to update, each row gets a push more often, flipping the grains faster.

I can't imagine anyone being okay with wood heat, and any decent realtor would likely either warn a buyer off of it or demand a discount sufficient to install an efficient alternative. Its interesting to see an ostensibly progressive couple select what is probably the most regressive means available to heat their home - even heating oil would be less polluting over the course of a winter. It is inevitable that their county will join many others in banning wood burning, and it is likely the EPA will just ban it nationwide at some point.

I would think someone wanting to distinguish their home in 2020 would seek to make it noteworthy for low pollution, not for excessive pollution.

> According to the complaint, Shamim falsely told investors that YouPlus earned millions of dollars in annual revenue and had more than 100 customers, including Fortune 500 companies. When one investor pressed Shamim for information substantiating those claims, Shamim allegedly provided the investor with falsified bank statements in an effort to conceal the fraud. The scheme allegedly unraveled in late 2019 when Shamim confessed to certain investors that YouPlus had in fact earned less than $500,000 and obtained only four paying customers from the company’s inception in 2013.

Seems to be just regular run-of-the-mill fraud.

Fake it till you make it is something to direct at your customers, or at your product's implementation, not at people who are giving you their money, who are protected by the SEC.

I assume that the firm will never be able to make a positive return for its investors, which is why they invoked the nuclear option.
The Australian app (COVIDsafe) does not use the Apple/Google API becuase the Goverment wanted location tracking which is banned under their terms.

This means the COVIDsafe app chews up battery life and is vulnerable to power saving features which shut down its communication after a short amount of time on iOS in particular.

It would have been far better to use the API and obtain the location data from elsewhere (Google, Ad networks, Mobile Carriers) if really needed. If this were a less free country I'd suspect the location tracking was part of a government spying program but instead I just chalk it up to incompetence.
Eaves are regulated in many jurisdictions for energy efficiency, eg. you should have eaves that permit sun in the winter and not much direct sun in the summer, and you should capture rainwater to reduce immediate flooding within the public water system. Apparently many places are either still loosely regulated, regulators are looking backward or snow changes the equation too much to bother with.

So I once interviewed at Bloomberg for a frontend engineer role that I believe would have involved working with the BB terminal UI.

During the interview, I was told that the modern UI development was done in JavaScript using a proprietary framework. Found that interesting to say the least.

I got rejected because I couldn't do some fancy binary tree algorithm trick, but I walked out of the interview thinking I didn't want the job anyways as I am not fond of proprietary frameworks (short of working at a FAANG level company anyways... I would consider BB highly prestigious, but still not at that level...)

Why You’re Not as Data-Driven as You Think You Are
Many places have maximum height restrictions which limit the suburban viability of this approach.
> Statisticians are quick to reach for the Central Limit Theorem, but I think there’s a deeper, more intuitive, more powerful reason.

> The Normal Distribution is your best guess if you only know the mean and the variance of your data.

This is putting the cart before the horse, for sure. The reason why you only know the mean and the variance of your data is because you chose to summarize your data that way. And, the reason why you chose to summarize your data that way is in order to get the normal distribution as the maximum entropy distribution.

The normal distribution appears in a lot of places because it is the limiting case of many other distributions, this is the central limit theorem. It is very easy to work with the normal distribution because you can add or subtract a bunch of normal distributions and the result is just another normal distribution. You can add or subtract a bunch of other distributions and the resulting distribution will often be more normal. You can do a lot of work with the normal distribution using linear algebra techniques.

So, you choose to measure mean and variance in order to make the math easier. This does not always result in the best outcome. For example, if you need more robust statistics, you might go for median and average deviation, rather than mean and variance. Then when you choose the maximum entropy distribution from the result, you end up with the Laplace distribution. The Laplace distribution is very inconvenient to work with mathematically, unlike the normal distribution.
>The idea that the deep ocean is full of all this life we haven't plundered yet seems like a fantasy.

It's quite simple, they count the total number of species in the ocean and then use the number of species we know about to work out the percentage.
Continuing Education Service
TLDR

Hello. I am in an attempt to create a service that will help to maintain the learning process. The main idea is to manage some part of incoming links. There is a prototype, and I am looking for some advice or help.

Story

Several years ago I went to a hackathon with a small project and met some people. Together we tried to figure out how to use small lists of links to share knowledge. Like, you google something and after several hours and hundred links you find several very useful.

After the second attempt a lot of things happened. But, I still think that an idea of maintaining links is important. RSS is dead and bookmarks are useless. Not at all, but it's just the same as ten years ago. Current process of incoming links mostly social, twitter feed and messengers. Pocket and Evernote do not become an education service, they are moved to another direction.

Now i have a small system with api and text analysis. There is even a knowledge graph builder based on wikipedia categories.

I want to achieve a state where a simple recommendation from the user knowledge graph edge is tied with chat messages (with chatbots and users). There is an API from OpenAI already for chatbots.

I know how to build all of it, but sometimes i think it's too huge for me alone. So, if you know where to get hands for this idea or some other help. There are a lot of startup incubators, but i still have to work for money and write code for this project, and design.. and demo.pdf..

I am looking for some advice or help.

> The second amendment itself grants the people the right to violence against a tyrannical government

No, it grants them the right to keep and bear arms, it does not grant them the right to use them against the federal or state government, and in fact the Constitution specifically empowers the federal government to act against any who would do so.

Now, the Declaration of Independence appeals to a separate and independent of any human law right to rebel uncertain conditions, but the Second Amendment does not.
