That particular version of the chromaticity diagram makes it look like the colors missing from your display are various shades of laser pointer green as opposed to all the shades of red and blue that are missing because really saturated red and blue primaries are too dim (per unit of energy) to use.

I learned a lot more about color management than I wanted to know in the progress of making red-cyan stereograms because I found when I asked for sRGB red I was getting something like (180,16,16) on my high gamut monitor which resulted in serious crosstalk between the channels.

Right now I am working with a seamstress friend on custom printed fabrics and I have a flower print where yellow somehow turned to orange in the midst of processing the image and I want to get it debugged and thoroughly proofed before I send out the order... I am still learning more than I want to know about color management.

Unfortunately this isn't the case. Places that have good housing policy, like Texas or Japan, still have below-replacement TFR.

There might be a correlation with urbanization in general rather than housing policy specifically. Ever since antiquity, cities have been demographic black holes while most population growth occurred in rural areas.

Which has squat all to do with the flaw in your earlier analogy.

You wrote "It's literally no different than the current laws against selling porn to minors physically."

I pointed out that the laws regarding physical stores are different than the laws regarding mail. There is no law requiring me to present identification or other proof of age before I subscribe to a pornographic magazine.

You can't cherry pick the analogy that works best for you, without explaining why other (IMO more) reasonable analogies are invalid.

You pointed to 47 USC § 223 but didn't read it closely enough to figure out it isn't relevant. It requires "a telecommunications device", but that does not include an interactive computer service.

The definitions say "The use of the term “telecommunications device” in this section ... does not include an interactive computer service" and "The term “interactive computer service” has the meaning provided in section 230(f)(2) of this title." where "The term “interactive computer service” means any information service, system, or access software provider that provides or enables computer access by multiple users to a computer server".

Internet companies aren't liable under the law you pointed to for the simple reason that the law doesn't apply to them.

That was a nice summary.

The data-poor and computation-poor context of old school statistics definitely biased the methods towards the "recipe" approach scientists are supposed to follow mechanically, where each recipe is some predefined sequence of steps, justified based on an analytical approximations to a sampling distribution (given lots of assumptions).

In modern computation-rich days, we can get away from the recipes by using resampling methods (e.g. permutation tests and bootstrap), so we don't need the analytical approximation formulas anymore.

I think there is still room for small sample methods though... it's not like biological and social sciences are dealing with very large samples.
CAM-16. When in doubt, ask the color scientists :)
I stand corrected! It was my impression that many methods used in ML such as Support Vector Machines, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Boosting, Bagging and so on have very deep roots in Frequentist Methods, although current CS implementations lean heavily on optimizations such as Gradient Descent.

Giving a cursory look into Bishop's book I see that I am wrong, as there's deep root in Bayesian Inference as well.

On another note, I find it very interesting that there's not a bigger emphasis on using the correct distributions in ML models, as the methods are much more concerned in optimizing objective functions.

If you listen to an audio file at 24 bit vs 64 bits (bit depth, not bitrate), you won't notice a difference. However, if you're manipulating audio in a DAW or similar, it's possible for noise to end up amplified in the final output, so a higher bit depth could make a difference.

Think of it this way: every time you add a filter or any type of audio manipulation in your DAW, you're discarding some information and replacing it with noise (how much depends on what manipulation you're doing, but it's almost always >0). If you start at 24 bits and then don't manipulate anything, it's all good. But if you start at 24 bits and then lose 10 bits of the true signal, you're down to just 12 bits of information. But if you start at 64 bits, you can lose 40 bits before you start to notice anything (or really it depends quite a lot on many different factors, but in general there's a threshold where noise goes from "not noticeable" to "noticeable" and it's probably usually between 8 bits and 32 bits).

Don't quote me on the details (I am not an audio engineer or anything even slightly related), but that's the general gist of it.
You know they're making a massive profit though, right?
Those numbers don't mean much beyond "minutes are better than days", because this contribution is a quality improvement via a new algorithm. Optimizing performance and maximizing choice of hardware power is another effort.

This is a bit ironic given the fact that Russia makes a conscious choice to rely on railways for military logistics. Why? Because they are more resilient and easier to repair than roads - Russia has railroad engineering units in their military and can repair just about anything you could do to a railroad in a couple of hours, and in fact they do as Ukrainian partisans (rightly) go after railways.

Meanwhile if someone throws spike strips on a busy highway/tunnel/bridge between two chokepoints, you're effectively screwed. If this is done in a concerted manner it will probably take at least a day to fix.

If you have more resources (say a state actor attacking a nation that isn't on a wartime footing), you can also exploit the fact that asphalt is a petroleum fraction and therefore soluble : spill a lot of diesel or hydraulic oil, for example (and optionally set it on fire) and you will unrecoverably ruin that section of asphalt, which could take weeks to fix: this is why gas stations are paved with concrete.

So while it's not as easy to do this as it is to derail a train or screw around a signaling system, it's far more difficult to repair professional roadway sabotage than railway sabotage, and in the end the railways are probably more resilient.
As always, empty space will be filled sooner or later. The question is, filled with better or worse?

> Oof, HN and its armchair finance.

I am a past CFA charterholder and spent a number of years doing deep fundamental analysis of public equities so not exactly armchair finance.

I think the disconnect in our discussion is the use of the word agnostic and that capital stack “isn’t particularly relevant”. “All else equal” more debt decreases solvency and less debt increases solvency. It isn’t guaranteed in either direction, but to state that it is agnostic massively downplays the relevancy of debt in the capital stack to solvency. The fact that other variables (productivity of the assets, non-debt liabilities, etc) can also impact solvency doesn’t translate to “capital stack isn’t relevant”. These are directly related and incredibly important to assessing solvency.
That makes sense. You should be able to right click - save as PDF and it will preserve the links, etc.
I knew one of those too. I consulted for a company across the street from the Palo Alto general aviation airport. The doc/pubs manager lived some place north of Sonoma. She would fly in, walk across the street, and go to work.

At another job, the project manager lived in WA but worked in Palo Alto. He flew (commercial) in early Monday, with a small apartment to live in during the week, then take off mid-afternoon Friday to be back in WA with his family for the weekend.
An implicit shared belief of all of the practitioners the author mentions is that they attempt to construct models that correspond to some underlying "data generating process". Machine learning practitioners may use similar models or even the same models as Bayesian statisticians, but they tend to evaluate their models primarily or entirely based on their predictive performance, not on intuitions about why the data is taking on the values that it is.

I think he's kind of wrong. As you say, anything going through any kind of professional audio editing software is probably 32/64 bit float. AFAIK all audio plugin standards work on 32/64 bit floats.

Although I imagine at least historically that's more because 32 bit floats are a native data type.
It is an interesting question: how this new system quantifies progress and whether it can detect that a chain of reasoning is close to the solution. Although it was just 2 points shy of a golden medal (1 point partial credit per problem not solved?), I'd suspect that the team would want a clean victory, given the magnitude of the claim. I bet next year's results would be 42/42. Deep Mind is unstoppable!
Thanks for this; it seemed like a particularly dubious claim.
At a high level, Bayesian statistics and DL share the same objective of fitting parameters to models.

In particular, variational inference is a family of techniques that makes these kinds of problems computationally tractable. It shows up everywhere from variational autoencoders, to time-series state-space modeling, to reinforcement learning.

OpenPLC is a good English introduction. You're right, the biggest downside to these programs is that support and documentation are not in English. The Outseal IDE gives you the option of setting it English, although error messages still get output in Indonesian. Flprog also allows you to switch to English within the IDE.

> You don't understand why I would point out that Gladiator is unapologetically fiction in my reply to your comment?

Nope. That would be unsurprising, it being fiction and all.

> I'm not sure why you're denying that you implied that diversity is fine in movies that don't do well.

Because that isn't what I fucking said.

> What other conclusion am I supposed to draw - especially in the context of this discussion - from your assertion that "no one cares about Macbeth" ?

That no one cares; it's a moot point, there will not be that much discourse surrounding it. That is the observation. There's no possible way to contrive that suggests "it's only justifiable to have diversity in films that don't do well".

The important part of the paragraph that belonged to is that some stylistic changes can seem incongruent with the whole of a film. A black Scottish medieval king is incongruent. That's not even a value judgement, and it's not always clear whether audiences will be drawn or repelled.

> I'm puzzled why your points are all now strictly based on how well the movies have done at the box office. You were talking about artistic and stylistic judgments before. Now it's about the business?

Wow, you are obtuse. Be puzzled then, run off and do something else.
The problems are: "what file?", "what format?", "merge data from multiple files".

Not sure if relevant to this discussion, but here's the problems I've experienced working with files for system devices:

[1] here's just a discovery of a logitech mouse receiver, notice that it touches:

* /sys/class/*
* /sys/module/*
* /sys/class/hidraw/*/device/driver

I must take care that each dir might not be present, symlinks may be dangling, and access to multiple files is not atomic.

It would be much easier and stable using just one SQLite query, for example.

TL;DR: Imagine color space has 3 dimensions in polar coordinates.

- hue, the angle. your familiar red, orange, yellow, green, blue...

- saturation/chroma, radial distance from center. intensity of the pigment

- lightness, top to bottom, white to black

The XY diagram shows 3d color space, from the top, in XYZ.

XYZ is a particular color space that Nathan Myhrvold picked at Microsoft in the early 90s.

There is no privileged "correct" color space, they're developed based on A/B tests and intuition by color scientists.

However, there are more correct color spaces, in that color science matters and is a real field. Commonly agreed state of the art is CAM16.

It's a significant mistake that Oklab is the first space with significant mindshare since HSL, it was a quick hack by a ex-game developer to make something akin to CAM16 with just one matrix multiplication.

CAM16 conversions involve significantly more than one matrix multiplication. But, its ~400 lines of code, and you can do millions a second on modern hardware.

The lightness scale is _way_ off from scientific color spaces, and thus it can't be used to create simple rules like "40 delta L* ~= 3.0 contrast ratio, 50 delta L* ~= 4.5 contrast ratio". Instead you're still manually plugging colors into a contrast checker :(

Then again, its still a step forward. It's even more maddening HSL was used for so long: it's absolutely absurd, ex. lightness = average of two highest RGB components. Great for demo hacks in 1976, not so great in 2016.
I mean, yeah, but things like rowhammer and Spectre/Meltdown, and many other side-channels are a big deal. VMs are not really enough to prevent abuse of the full panoply of side-channels known and unknown.
After a lifetime of being subjected to the Kremlin's whims, first in Europe, and then in the USA, here are my 2 cents:

The mentality that we must adopt should be that of an animal trainer.

Every single bad behavior by the Kremlin needs to be met with a noticeable negative response. When things like this, or the bombing of the children's hospital in Kyiv, receive no specific training response... then the animal will not learn that it was bad behavior. It will continue to push the boundaries, and there will be more defecation in our living rooms.

I am sorry to put this in such blunt terms, but this is where we are today.

The first time a woman performed in one of Shakespeare's plays in England, he'd been dead for half a century. He wrote all his plays knowing the women would be played by men.

How else do you explain the comic irony and theatrical resonance of Lady M saying "Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, [...] come to my woman's breasts and take my milk for gall."

What I'm saying is you are not purely interested in artistic faithfulness to the original. You are interested in particular aesthetics that fit your own perspective, and you're using box office receipts to defend your own aesthetics, which is weird.
What drew me into this game was the art-heavy design. I appreciate how much they invest into assets in and out of the game; for example the original soundtracks, or sponsoring the philharmonic orchestras - they didn't have to do that.

Is there a reason for the rectangle, or is that the idea just for simplicity? Like, "smallest convex polygon" might be slightly better. I don't see any reason why the borders would need to be rectangular. Also for any shape there's no reason it would need to be axis-aligned with the exterior perimeter (which itself might be far from rectangular.)

And let's not forget the premise is all wrong as well.

The attack on SNCF was not "easy". This was a methodical, large scale, coordinated attack. They knew what to take down. How to take it down with least collateral damage. And when each should be taken down. (Order likely counts here. You're trying to plug up tracks.) Point being, these attacks are not "easy". In a place with as much unrest and discontent as France has bubbling beneath the surface, the trains would go down twice weekly, every week, if it was "easy" to do so.

A similar methodical, large scale, coordinated attack on our bridges would shut the system down as well. I won't even mention some other infrastructural assets that, if targeted, easily will shut us down for months because I think they are just that soft as targets. I honestly believe it would be irresponsible to even put the idea out into the ether.

The takeaway here is that if you're dealing with large organizations, with even a modest amount of resources, and a grievance, you're likely dealing with orgs that have a lot of young people they can send to successfully carry out such attacks. Thankfully, these attacks still require a level of technical knowledge that seems to elude such groups. So it's just matter of keeping that information as secure as possible on the one hand. While working towards security and resilience of those assets on the other.
