Not really.

I work in this field, with lots of HP hardware, and its not even discussed.

The lifecycle of new enterprise hardware is ~3 years. No one thinks HP would leave any enterprise customer screwed in the 3 year timeframe. Even if they sold the business everyone understands you will be supported that long.

Also, companies change hands all the time in the enterprise market. We're used to it, and generally a change of ownership is greeted with a meh response.

All kinds of things compile down to assembly. Binary compatibility between two programs doesn't say anything about how easy it would be to translate their designs into other languages (which is often a new way of thinking), or different standard libraries. Many approaches are possible, few are worth the effort.

If Apple proposed a new language that didn't support message-passing syntax, and the only way to keep Cocoa dependencies working was with a pile of objc_msgSend() calls and other low-level wrappers, developers would just laugh at them. A single line of Objective-C often contains 3 or 4 pairs of square brackets, and objc_msgSend()-ifying that alone would be a nightmare even in the short term and even with a code generator.

That's why I said, the new language has to follow the same calling conventions. Fundamentally, whenever I see "setFoo:x toBar:y withBaz:z", I should be able to either leave that alone or do very little to that line of code.

Carbon-to-Cocoa was feasible because Objective-C is a superset of C (plus the libraries did share some things, like free casting between the CFStringRef and NSString* types). Not only that, but there's a compiler for Objective-C++. It was very easy to adopt.

So to follow the Carbon-to-Cocoa model, Apple needs a new language that's a superset of Objective-C. And that's actually something I'd like to see.
Thanks! Using delayed job already for certain API calls, but will think about how to use them more.

I think I definitely have to look into cacheing.

"The reconstructed videos are blurry because they layer all the YouTube clips that matched the subject's brain activity pattern." – What does this mean exactly? This is beginning to sound more like a cool machine learning trick and less like mind reading.

This has been an interesting issue -- I want to encourage small stuff like that (perhaps a quick icon/UX analysis or whatever) that's only a few hours of work. Though, I found when I had the min. budget at $100, I got a -lot- of low quality stuff. Setting the min to $500 has staved that off somewhat.

This line means this study is much less interesting than it sounds at first. Basically, it sounds like they used the fMRI voxel data to build a classifier that predicted which frames from the videos were showing, and composited each frame weighted by its probability. In other words, wtf.
Considering that neutrinos can pass through a light year of solid lead unimpeded[0], they must face a lot of challenges in determining when a neutrino has been generated and when they are finally able to detect one arriving at its destination.

Yes. I consider myself a pretty average user for the last 5 or so years on Facebook. I don't have a lot of videos uploaded, but do have a lot of pictures. Facebook compresses those like crazy though, so maybe I have about a gigabyte of data.
At any rate, given that their (as in the company) worth is estimated at more than 200x the people that have access to high speed internet in the world in dollars [1], I think they can probably keep my data, barring bit rot.

note: This assumes that people with dial up don't use Facebook. Probably a valid assumption, or at least that the amount of data a dial up user supplies would not make storage an issue.

Their user base is quickly reaching the point where it is limited to the human population of earth itself (This is an assumption, but they claim 800 active users, which while might be questionable {define "active"} if the true value is around there, they cannot achieve exponential growth). Most people probably only load text, or highly compressed jpg photos. If they can simply turn a profit with a business model that can support the current state, they should be fine.

OK, I think this is a little misleading at a glance. From my read they didn't show a video to the subject then create images from the brainwaves. Instead they showed videos to subjects, recorded the response. This allowed them to greate a mapping of response to video. You then show videos later, read the response then look up the video.

The article states; "The reconstructed videos are blurry because they layer all the YouTube clips that matched the subject's brain activity pattern."

They could have just shown the best match, this would not have been a cool blurry image that is very easy to misinterpret as being generated from the brainwaves directly. More than a little slippery.
Hope he's still lul'ing
Haha, something like this isn't necessary to live in a star-trek future.

Consider what we know about the Universe but can't fully explain so far. We know that space-time is dominated by a "dark energy" that may be due to background quantum vibrations or some as yet completely unknown phenomenon. We know that most of the mass of the Universe is bound up in dark matter which at present seems most likely to be a weakly interacting massive particle, specifically neutralinos (a supersymmetric particle). Neutralinos are thought to be their own anti-particles, they could have been responsible for bizarre "dark stars" in the early Universe and for an ongoing gamma ray flux due to neutralino-neutralino annihilations. Moreover, most of the dark matter in the Universe would essentially be the cosmic neutralino background, an echo from the big bang analogous to the cosmic neutrino background and cosmic microwave background. There is already tantalizing experimental evidence that such dark matter particles exist, from multiple sources.

Additionally, recent evidence seems to hint strongly of the existence of strange-matter. Unlike ordinary quark-based matter such as protons, neutrons, other baryons and hadrons strange-matter would consist of up, down, and strange quarks in a more-or-less liquid like state instead of individual quarks being bound up in 2 or 3-quark composite particles. It is possible that some of the so-called "neutron-stars" out there are in fact strange-matter stars. It's also possible that such matter is stable in effectively arbitrarily sized fragments, down to individual tons, grams, or even atomic nuclei scales. Who knows what kind of post-nuclear physics we could perform if we got our hands on such particles. One possibility would be to use them to create energy via fusion. Tossing particles at a strangelet with sufficient speed should cause them to dissolve and fuse with the strangelet, releasing more energy in the process than conventional fusion.

And that hardly touches the surface. There are even more bizarre things out there like micro black holes, the matter vs anti-matter chirality, the possibility that superconductors serve as mirrors for gravitational waves, and so much more. There's plenty of star trek out there waiting for us.

The research preprint is now available: http://arxiv.org/abs/1109.4897
This link will decay in the future, but http://gallantlab.org/ is the original source. For a similar image of a bird, it has the text: "The left clip is a segment of the movie that the subject viewed while in the magnet. The right clip shows the reconstruction of this movie from brain activity measured using fMRI. The reconstruction was obtained using only each subject's brain activity and a library of 18 million seconds of random YouTube video that did not include the movies used as stimuli. Brain activity was sampled every one second, and each one-second section of the viewed movie was reconstructed separately." There's also a useful video.

It seems valid to me. There's no reason to ask them to somehow extract this visual data "unbiased", without bootstrapping off of video clips like that.

Actually, I'd commend that link to anybody posting complaints here, it covers everything everybody is saying as of my writing here.

Frictionless sharing without proper curation could kill Facebook. Friction naturally encourages the crowd-sourcing of curation - by having to click a share button or fill out a simple form I'm forced to think about what I'm sharing and the context to present it in. Knowing what songs my friends are listening to right at this moment isn't very useful information. Having a friend reminisce on their wall or tweet about about the one time they heard that song live, in-person and the epic good times that followed - THAT is truly "sharing", that is the "why" and not just the "what" that makes sharing addictive.

Can a bot or algorithm augment or emulate the magic of crowd-sourced sharing? Or will it throw Facebook into a Myspace-esque clusterfuck?

Please please please make a waterproof one. The only reason I use my ipod over my phone for music is because I do not like to sweat all over my phone when I work out.

Also if they for that direction just make headphones and a case that I can use to swim with. There is h2oaudio.com (which is awesome) but I would rather it just come straight from apple.

Their website has a better description of how it works that is less ambiguous: http://gallantlab.org/

The description of the first video:
"The left clip is a segment of the movie that the subject viewed while in the magnet. The right clip shows the reconstruction of this movie from brain activity measured using fMRI. The reconstruction was obtained using only each subject's brain activity and a library of 18 million seconds of random YouTube video that did not include the movies used as stimuli. Brain activity was sampled every one second, and each one-second section of the viewed movie was reconstructed separately."

So they gathered a lot of fMRI data from people watching several hours of YouTube videos (the training set). They then use this to train some sort of machine learning algorithm to make a model. The pictures you see in the article are from a running the model on a test set which does not contain any of the videos from the training set.
I've thought about security (vuln's), collision and security (proper redirects, url validation, js sandboxing), but it is really simple. I can publish it publictly later.

At HN, passive income usually comes from software, but tons of people make it from online retail. I formulated a skin cream and a lab makes and ships it. The majority of the work is website creation/maintenance and branding/promotion. After you get rolling, it is only about an hour or two of work a week at most. I get the impression that many people want to stick solely to their domain and lose sight of the possibility of using their skills to have a competitive advantage in a different market.

Well, it is one of the most surprising results in the past century. It's not like this is an "x cures cancer/AIDS/the common cold/obesity" which reporters love to overstate, and which can easily be overstated because of how vague things like "obesity" and "cures" can be.

In this case, it's "this fact that we've believed to be completely fundamental to physics for the past century appears to be wrong," and if you stated that without asking for people to check your work carefully because you are puzzled too, people are going to laugh at you if it turns out that you were wrong somehow. I'm not sure how you really could report this without downplaying it; it's just too incredible a claim for people to believe if you did anything close to overstating it.

Scientists generally do not keep data secret. They try to publish as much as they can actually! This is how you get nice things like funding and tenure!

Most of the time reporters misunderstand the research and then oversell it in order to get their story read. The general public is usually left scratching their heads because of this bizarre layer of clueless journalists between them and the scientists. Yes, some scientists are hard to understand, but there's no hope in trying to understand particle physics filtered through the soft spongy grey matter of a liberal arts major! Scientists are quite often educators who are used to speaking to a wide range of audiences. Journalists would do far far better to introduce the subject and then let the scientist explain it in their own words. I have no idea why this is not done more.

As for the FTL neutrinos at CERN... I'd hold on to skepticism for now. The reason they're asking for help finding the glitch instead of proudly proclaiming that they've found tachyons (FTL particles) is because this would be a truly bizarre result that would upend a century of physics that has, to date, proved remarkably accurate in its predictions. If this discovery proved true it would literally force us to rewrite physics from ~1900 onwards. Physicists are not afraid of this. Quite the contrary! It would touch off a bonanza of research! There would be so much work to do that the field would literally explode. It's just a lot more probable that there really is a glitch somewhere and we simply haven't found it yet.

This actually would not be the first time that tachyons were "found". A group in the 70's found statistically significant evidence for them preceding cosmic showers. They were so sure of their results that they published. Then, a year or two later, they discovered that it was just a glitch in their electronics! These guys were small fry compared to CERN, but CERN's accelerator is so complex that glitches could be very hard to find. The scientists at CERN are clearly out of ideas and mean just what they say: They don't believe their results and they want help finding the glitch that's probably causing them. It's extremely irresponsible to report this story as if FTL particles have really been found before CERN has had a chance to consult with outside scientists and other facilities have had a chance to try reproducing their results.

I don't agree with everything the author says but I think I agree with the sentiment. I think frictionless sharing is a departure from how people express themselves in real life. During real world interactions we present our carefully tailored selves to the rest of the world. We don't tell everyone everything we are doing for a reason.

One positive with reducing friction is that it might be easier to find common ground with someone. But overall im not sure I like it- social grooming is a good thing

I don't know about scienctists in general, but at least in climate science it is not true that scientists rarely keep the data secret. You can review untold number of cases of this on climateaudit.org and the justifications by the stonewallers are extremely poor. Given the high profile and sweeping consequences of their work, this attitude is giving science a black eye.

Depends on which music companies you're talking about. While I love their product and team, RootMusic's BandPages has the biggest liability in that regard. But if a natural behavior for deciding what to listen to on a given day is logging onto FB and clicking on what someone else is listening to (now possible), then being removed from the platform would suck. But FB is too smart to get into the streaming business on their own, and they don't do much else besides drive traffic. So, unless you're dependent on them, which you shouldn't be, then no.
