Yes. The Andrews book should he available on Amazon or other retailers although you might get raped on the shipping.
It’s a “loophole” that it isn’t a monopoly because you have a choice? That’s kind of a the definition of a monopoly. It’s even in the first two syllables of the word....

I love my choice of AT&T over Comcast. $70 all fees included gigabit up and down.
I'd assume active participants on an Uber driver's forum are going to be better informed than the average driver, but may not be representative. Maybe Uber relies on churning through less informed people to "fill the gaps" and provide service in less profitable (for drivers) locations or timeslots.

India is a remarkable success story in mobile data. A great deal of that success is due to Reliance Jio, who launched an LTE-only network in 2016 and totally disrupted the Indian market.

Libertarianism is d̵e̵a̵d̵ * slowly dying, because it fails to recognize that corporations can exert a similar amount of oppressive force as governments. Your platform of choice is now your country, and the software that platform runs is your government.
I think you're pretty much right.

E.g. https://github.com/thestinger/allocator/tree/f42a6c2dffb63d5... (found via Google) explains:

> The Linux kernel also lacks an ordering by size, so it has to use an ugly heuristic for allocation rather than best-fit. It allocates below the lowest mapping so far if there and room and then falls back to an O(n) scan. This leaves behind gaps when anything but the lowest mapping is freed, increasing the rate of TLB misses.

So the libc should be able to do a better job than the kernel here.

And yes, I think it should probably work via MADV_DONTNEED to give mapped pages back to the kernel (and perhaps PROT_NONE to also reduce commit charge when overcommit is disabled, see https://github.com/thestinger/allocator/issues/18).

I'm using `MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_` because it has a positive effect, but as written on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24244271, I'm not sure why automatic trimming (which should do all of the discussed above) does not work.
I don't now about that. I believe if you had it calibrated correctly no one could tell the difference between a single GPT-3 comment and a human comment.

Maybe after a bit of dialogue you'd have a higher chance, but even then I suspect (from playing around in AI Dungeon) that GPT-3 could do very well.
It's not really practical to develop apps for iOS without owning an iPhone. Yes, there is a simulator available which you can run on Mac OS in a VM or on a Hackintosh, but you still will need a real device at the end of the day. Certain features like in-app purchases can only be tested on real devices. Furthermore, the App Review Board has the power to reject your app at any time until you provide them with a demonstration video which must be screen recorded on a real physical device, and on this ridiculous and unnecessary hoop to jump through I am speaking from personal experience.

Of course, you could always have a personal Android device and an iPhone solely for development purposes. Apple tries to force you to own a Mac and at least one iOS device (be it iPhone or iPad) to develop apps for the App Store. This is yet another example of their corporate greed. You can develop Android apps on Windows, Mac, or Linux, and there's no need for a physical device.
The reason it is an ok them slur is because they are not in fashion. They are seen as one of the last bastions of the patriarchy. Therefore they are the enemy. You will find they are often equated with Nazis. Since you can punch a Nazi, you should be able insult them without getting in trouble.
I'd actually buy a cheap Chinese electric car. I wouldn't consider a Tesla. It lacks the range I need in my primary vehicle and is too expensive for a second commuter car. Tesla's are amazing and good for them but it's not what I need or want. People are valuing Tesla like there will be one in every garage, but I just don't see it happening.
Same app store account?
Incel stands for "Involuntarily Celibate", and is a self-applied label.

The subsequent online behavior of people who so self-identified is what has given it a bad reputation. But no matter how clearly they demonstrate the reasons why they remain celibate, the incels seem to remain proud of their label.

Normal people, of course, see "incel" as a slur.

So can I define Epic having a monopoly on being able to buy things in Fortnite? What if I want to sell my cool “Scarface dance” next to the “Carlton dance” within Fortnite without paying the “Epic Tax”?
Bit of yes, bit of no.

There are some forums where you can find (I assume some are playing along but clearly some believe) people with, I'll just summarise as , worrying views about women.

The term doesn't really refer to unattractive people as much as people who clearly have a chip on their shoulder and believe they are entitled to a woman (or man, but nearly always women).

It is a slur but some of "them" do use it to refer to themselves.
As far as I know, that's how the communities describe themselves. I don't think it's imposed from the outside.

That's not to say that it hasn't been used as an insult -- it has -- but as far as I know, it's the preferred term. More background:

https://incels.wiki/w/Etymology

I'll mention that the current obsession with which words are used is not actually culturally sensitive. Words vary in meaning based on culture, and being exclusive on what words one can and cannot say isn't helpful. What's important is the meaning behind the word. The same word can be a nasty slur when used by one person, a term of endearment by another, a word of praise by a third, and academically neutral by a fourth. Policing words is the opposite of cultural competency.
Ran this on my Atari ST for a bit back in 1990 or so. And then again on my 486 running early Linux a couple years later.

It's a really neat idea. But it was of limited use as not many applications were made for it.
Yes, RTFA. That’s why the comment is relevant.
As someone else alluded, dust absorbs and re-emits light in a way that can be detected by analyzing the spectral lines. So gas clouds and dust clouds should still be detectable, if there are many molecules between us and a light source behind them.

So that could be a dense cloud, or a very, very large but diffuse cloud of gas or dust, and there are a couple of galaxies that rotate too quickly for the number of stars we can see, and don't have enough visible dust to explain why they don't fly apart.

We're talking about needing to find something like 20 times as much stuff in order for the universe to make sense with the physics we have. And while I expect finding more stuff will improve the signal-to-noise ratio, at some point we should be looking for new physics, because new physics is where we find ways to do things the old physics says are impossible.
Probably a combination of good pitch / persuasion, first impression of the guy/gal pitching you, and the product itself.

Also, keep in mind, Jeff came from a hedge fund, having worked/analyzed the (then) internet and consumer market - so it seems he had more than a hunch of its potential.

And the fact that he was a tech guy (before banking), probably meant he could easily talk their language - in technical terms.

Since being apartment-bound due to COVID, I've switched to doing most of my development on my desktop machine, so there hasn't been any urgent need for me to have a new laptop. I still have my late-2013 MBP, one of the last non-Butterfly / non-Touchbar laptops Apple made, which I use on rare occasions.

I've looked at the Windows laptops extensively though, and will likely get a ThinkPad X1 Extreme G2 or G3, or a Dell XPS 15, when the time comes. They both seem very good, with superior keyboards, displays, performance, and value compared to Apple's current lineup.
I admire your courage in saying this. Did you know Jeff well personally? Have you had any contact since?

Yes please. Google would do it for free.
It's not easy to say, I would try to say it as diplomatically as possible. Possibly something like "Hello, please ask me your question directly instead of waiting for a response to your 'hi'" or depending on person or situation.

This is a cool idea, I often wondered about this.

These days I'm on a 5k monitor and when having a more direct conversation in a meeting, I make a point to place my Webex video window at the top and center of my screen. (I never run it maximized, only 1/4 of height & width, so 1/16 of my screen realestate.)

I tested this setup with PhotoBooth and compared when I look at my own face vs. the actual camera. The difference is minor.

Bonus, it signals to whom I'm speaking whether I'm looking at some other window or at them. This is useful for empathetic listening.

It would also be ideal for developed countries to ban any multinational corporations from exploiting undeveloped countries for their gold. Tricky to enforce however possibly.
Part of me is kicking myself for selling back in like March, but there is no version of me that would have made it past the first of the month without profit taking. I'll just have to console myself with the 200% profits I made instead of the 900% I could have made.
Couldn't regulation make it possible for suffering communities to do their own equipment installation and then rent it out to a MVNO, is somebody privy to (european) details if anybody did it? Desperate communities are able to pull it off with their own fiber and then get an ISP on board, I wonder if something similar is possible beyond fiber/wifi.

Germany is cataloging its "Funklöcher" at https://breitbandmessung.de/kartenansicht-funkloch - if you zoom in they get apparent along roads and populated spots if no 2G is showing - the railway operator published its 2016 measurements along regional train tracks https://www.dbregio.de/db_regio/view/zukunft/wlan.shtml - on highspeed train tracks, coverage seems better.

An aside: the article opener is placed 25 km north of where Tesla builds its Gigafactory. Harnekop was not merely an army base, but GDRs main nuclear bunker. 15 km south of the Factory at Königs-Wusterhausen, Germanys took its first steps in public radio broadcast more than 100 years ago with tall transmission towers. It boggles my mind - radio broadcasts being "only" 100 years old and nowadays "everything is amazing and nobody is happy".
Whether their products are good or not is beside the point.

They do everything they can to have your PII and this is something people should care about.

Great addition to pile of scripts to take with you on problem solving missions. I have something similar, but written in terraform.
WRT AWS cost visibility, I find it is usually faster to spin up and grab most of the relevant information using mlabouardy's [komiser](https://github.com/mlabouardy/komiser) than to try and standardize yourself.

I actually just sent out an API request for a particular application that I believe GPT-3 should be capable.

I'm a university mathematics instructor. I find that a lot of students struggle with doing proofs and I think GPT-3 can help with that. A proof is essentially a sequence of logical inferences. I believe that, when given a proof written in natural language GPT-3 should be capable of detecting the logical implications made within. From there, it would be possible to correct student's mistakes or help them improve their answer.
Elad Gil is worried that we’re losing our ability to be optimistic about tech
Maybe, but those numbers are basically bullshit in terms of the real cost to get a phone plan with 1GB of data. I WISH 1GB of data was $12 in Canada.

Unless you’re willing to make some huge concessions you won’t find a phone plan with unlimited calling, unlimited texting, and 1GB of data for less than $40 CAD / month. I currently do BYOD + 3Mb/s throttle + no support + low priority on saturated towers (IMO but not provable) for $23 per month.

I wish the government would set reasonable pay per use data rates and make all the carriers abide by them. $12 / GB would be a godsend for low end, price sensitive users.
The article doesn't fairly compare with the risks of say, oil. Look at Exxon for a good example of how costly (and seemingly never ending) the damage and cleanup can be. And what to make of the earthquakes caused by fracking?

I live in an area with multiple nuclear plants. We've never had an issue with them, although there was one false alarm. Even then, nobody seems to feel very unsafe about it around here. Property values are just as high as they always were.

We did have a natural gas plant blow up. So I'm not very convinced of the nuclear dangers by comparison. Especially since nuclear technology keeps getting better, safer, and more efficient. That can't be said for much of the fossil fuel industry.
Video is weird. It plays a bomb sound at the same time as the explosion is seen. And the sound is just like the classic stock bomb sound found in movies and video games throughout the 80s.

Things are improving, but male suicide rates are high for a reason. Society just isn't calibrated to allow men to be as emotional as women.

Within every Incel is someone who's life has gone down a dark path. I bet a lot of them are doing it just to belong - having no friends hurts a lot more when you're young, schoolchildren can be really horrible to eachother.
I'm an independent app developer too, and I share your frustrations. Sometimes I wish I had the luxury of walking away from the App Store -- but with ~80% of my revenue coming from iOS, I can't do that.

Similarly, I can't give up on owning a Mac because you need one to develop for iOS.

On one hand, it's super annoying whenever Apple rejects an update for some arbitrary reason. But on the other hand, making a living by writing and selling my own apps has been a dream of mine pretty much forever -- and something that I didn't think would be possible before the app stores came along.

This might be true (it appears we have similar people in the western world). However, I think you're being downvoted because it seems you're advocating less internet access in the hopes of more equality.

It brings up an interesting question, though: Assuming for the moment that internet access actually increases hatred - is more hate towards a group a good tradeoff for empowering them by giving them internet access as well?

Your argument is based on a lay-definition and not a legal definition. It's good to know your etymology, but that doesn't get far in court. From the wikipedia article on us antitrust law:

> When enterprises are not under public ownership, and where regulation does not foreclose the application of antitrust law, two requirements must be shown for the offense of monopolization. First, the alleged monopolist must possess sufficient power in an accurately defined market for its products or services. Second, the monopolist must have used its power in a prohibited way. The categories of prohibited conduct are not closed, and are contested in theory. Historically they have been held to include exclusive dealing, price discrimination, refusing to supply an essential facility, product tying and predatory pricing.

Apple is exercising exclusive control over the market of apps made for the phones they make, so it looks to me like they satisfy the first requirement. The second requirement is murkier, but several of the examples listed sound quite similar to how apple operates its store. IANAL but the more I read about their behavior, the more I become convinced of their monopoly status. Having a monopoly is not a crime. Abusing monopoly power is.
> It used to be that my apps made more money on Apple devices, but now I actually make more on Android.

Which apps are those? Genuinely interested in seeing the numbers.
> It's not really practical to develop apps for iOS without owning an iPhone

This applies to all platforms. I wouldn't want to do business with a developer that doesn't own the device they're developing for, we learned that lesson with Blackberry thank you.
Yeah, me too. I was really starting to be convinced of GPT-3's potential but this is a major red flag for me. Are they researchers or businessmen?

This is the first time I've heard this. This kind of thing definitely needs more news coverage.
Yes, that or they just cut the connection to the origin entirely.
Where can one stream or download this?

I'd appreciate it if you would apologize for your comment, we don't look for solutions here, just more understanding and greater empathy for peoples feelings.
I have always longed for the graphical version of the Unix philosophy: rather than running large monolithic "applications", you have a lot of single purpose GUI utilities with well defined input/output interfaces that can be chained together into workflows using a simple script.

For example: append some markdown text into a given text file; open a text file, tokenize and filter lines where token 1 matches user input; if the user input matches a certain pattern, route it to a given file etc.

I'm already doing this with bash scripts (and they work for me), but for this idea to take hold with non-technical people, we will need GUI utilities.
Imagine having freedom and then making the wrong choices with it.
Yes, it's easy for anyone with a modicum of knowledge about scientific integrity. Wonder why OpenAI doesn't seem to get it.
And then there’s Saskatchewan, where SaskTel is a gov’t owned telco. Their prices are not great, but they provide service through the vast majority of the inhabited portions of the province. Out here, Bell and Telus both peer from SaskTel’s towers. Back in the CDMA days, Rogers ran their own 3G network, but recently they have started partnering with SaskTel as well to provide LTE coverage to their customers outside of the two main cities.

Edit: I missed the point! SaskTel exists as a government-owned pseudo-monopoly because it wouldn’t be profitable to provide the service level they provide to rural communities. There’s small WISPs that cover little parts of the province, but they all get backhaul from SaskTel.
>Your argument is based on a lay definition and not a legal definition..,From the wikipedia article on us antitrust law:

I’m going to let that sit right there.
The difference is, they don't then lie to the public and to Congress about it, as Apple and Tim Cook have now done.

I suppose this isn't a bad introduction to hash tables, but I would assume that most HN readers know how to implement a hash table. It seems like talking about fundamental CS concepts in.. Python is a perennial source of quick and easy blog posts for a lot of people.
I have made multiple attempts to switch to Linux, spending days each time trying to customize it and get it how I wanted. And never did it ever approach the productivity and polish of macOS.

Certainly I have issues with Apple, but it's a simple cost/benefit calculation. Right now the benefits of macOS vastly outweigh the downsides for me.

Unless Apple's problems increase to the point of being unbearable (very likely to happen at some point) or the quality of desktop Linux increases significantly (unlikely to ever happen), I just can't justify switching. And I expect many, many other people are in the same boat.

My computer is a tool. Idealistic notions about free software are nice, but they don't mean anything if that software is worse than a nonfree alternative. Free software needs to be _better_ to win, and I just don't see that ever happening in the consumer OS space.
In India BSNL Fibernet has stepped up their game. Even rural towns and villages (not all but the list is growing) now have access to 100Mbps internet for ~10 USD
They were doing the bare minimum at first. PTA would order the ISPs to censor resources which would implement the block alone and that's it. Easy to bypass with HTTPS, a 3rd party DNS server, or a VPN. They've since bought an $18.5m web monitoring system from Sandvine and centralized the censorship under PTA. The companies don't deal with it anymore: https://www.codastory.com/authoritarian-tech/surveillance/pa...

So now you expect Congress to force Apple to sell you an iPad at the same price it sells to a corporation that buys 1000s? Of course Apple is going to make a deal with Amazon when Amazon can offer it another sales channel.
Oh sure, and I agree maybe and many theories are likely wrong, but the point of my response was that the post is perfectly valid here on HN because it introduces discussion points such as yours...i.e. it's gratifying our intellectual curiosity (and arguments for and against) despite Loeb's interests...i.e. (sorry) solar sailed interstellar spacecraft. And this is why we're here.

Ask HN: Where do you go for discussion on deep learning techniques?
When developing ML/DL models, I often have to make decisions about architecture (layers, loss function, shape), preprocessing method (tiling vs. resizing, text embeddings algorithm), optimization algorithm (SGD or ADAM) and hyperparameters choice. In many library/research papers, this decision seems to be made at random. Do we have collective sources of things people have tried that work? Where do you discuss best practices and techniques that sometimes make a lot of difference in developing a good model?
