If you're interested in the link between ADHD and food.
There's evidence ( sofar all research confirms this and most experiments included double blind tests) that food triggers ADHD.
http://peer.ccsd.cnrs.fr/docs/00/47/80/60/PDF/PEER_stage2_10...

All those experiments start with a very restricted diet and then they start adding apples, pork....
The restricted diet consists of what is considered safe food. ( A pear for example)
Double blind means that nor the participants nor the observers know which of the two groups follows the highly restricted diet. The participants are young children.
Arguably the previous poster only mentioned he wants a 10GHz processor, not fast off-chip memory accesses. Also you can achieve a lot of performance in signal processing applications using a fast-clocked single core with on-chip SRAM scratchpads.
>there's still a bunch of missing pieces in the ecosystem that SV has nailed down

Can you expand on this point? Is there something that you can point to that is structurally different in SV that cannot be replicated elsewhere eg. infrastructure, legal environment etc...?
I feel an interesting and charged buzz around this thread, so though to join in.

Things appear hard and severely constrained because we habitually fall into the trap of thinking linearly and incrementally, as opposed to, at least sometimes, multi-linearly and in bounds, by perspective shifting. To do that one has to question the fundamental assumptions of which this linear trajectory were founded on. More often than not, one finds that much of what is considered so is merely based on someone', usually a group's very convincing, albeit not necessarily correct narrative.

Simply ramping up the clock speed is not going to happen much; the problem of waiting for your data to traverse the huge distance from the socketed DRAM all the way over to the processor is already severe.

Interesting Facts, The Moon
When you say that he gives "some assorted data suggesting r has historically been bigger than g except when it wasn't, and that inequality grows except when bad things happen", does he make no attempt to correlate his time series of (r - g) with inequality data? If such a correlation was found, that would obviously represent evidence to support his hypothesis.

His claim that I quoted is a causal one, however, as I am sure you are aware, it is very standard practice in all fields of inquiry to propose causal relationships from careful and qualified analyses of correlations. You are of course correct that demonstrating causality would require more than time series analysis, however a lack of causal analysis cannot be taken of itself to invalidate a well-identified correlation (I am of course assuming good faith and rigour on his part, which I am not in a position to attest to at the moment). Contrary data, or an explanation of a mechanism that would induce the identified correlation without the proposed causal relationship should now be sought to invalidate his claims, simply saying that he has only shown correlation is probably not enough.

Finally, could you just explain this a bit more, I didn't quite get it: "If you simply have r > g (ignoring volatility, as he's done so far), and treat capital as homogeneous (as he's mostly done so far), then this will explicitly NOT happen: ..."

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Forbes really should just stop writing tech articles.

1) The article itself notes that Xaiomi's flagship phone is already facing declining sales in China (Apple is still increasing sales there, so who should be worried again?).

2) It's running Android - the closest equivalent product is the Samsung Galaxy S5, surely the headline should be warning Samsung, not Apple (Apple has a nice competitive moat by having their own OS / AppStore ecosystem).

3) Speaking of ecosystems, does this thing have Google Play (I looked on their site, but couldn't get a clear answer - no Google app logos though...)? If not, it's really going to struggle in Western markets.
Not only that.

Many of us that like C++ also do actually like GC systems, but what I personally don't want to give up is the expressive power of modern languages.
Cupertino should be worried. Acer's laptop is cheaper than the MacBook Air -- 1,999 yuan versus 4,488—and better—the Acer has a larger and sharper screen and a camera with higher-density pixels. Unless you insist on having a depiction of a piece of fruit on your device, you will go with the Acer offering every time.

Interesting read, I have recently been porting a very low latency high scale project of mine from Nginx/LuaJIT to Go just to learn Go.

I have already right off the bat ran into the concurrency issues even with Go 1.3beta. And the GC locking causes all my connections to drop and thus causes thrashing.

That said I've coded in many languages in my 30 years of development while often reverting back to C over and over again as I've needed the lower level solutions to some big problems. I've enjoyed learning Go and plan to continue because it just "feels right". It's hard to explain but I can see it useful for numerous problem sets and I don't have to dive into C++/Java again to get convenient memory management and hopefully I'll never look pthreads in the face again.

However, I have really been amazed at the speed of LuaJIT. If you would have told me the fastest toolset I could use for my low latency high scale project was an "interpreted language" I would have laughed you out of the room. I did try Python (Cython) and Java and numerous other tools. But so far LuaJIT has turned out to be the fastest, not the most elegant to read but coder time -vs- return on that time is the highest thus far.

I am hopeful that Go will mature in the runtime in ways that will make it compete with Nginx for it's amazing event driven non-blocking architecture. With that in mind I think writing many things in Go will be useful and improvements of the underlying tech will just be magnified by all the code that now needs just a simple recompile to capture those changes. It's like the old days of gcc when I found hand coding some ASM was more useful and now a days it kicks out some amazing code with little need for inlines except in the most extreme situations. Here's to hoping Go traverses that path faster then gcc did and we all will have a more enjoyable time solving the problems we love to solve every day.
I think his last line sums up his message: "This isn’t an argument, just nonsense."
My interpretation of that was that he is protesting the act of arguing about what makes good software design, and calling it nonsense. But then again, maybe his entire post is just that, nonsense.

(If anyone has a better explanation, please feel free to correct me. This was simply my best guess)
True, 'cause one drug for one condition now costs $4-12B, because the success rate is < 0.02%. There needs to be multi-functionality in our innovative efforts when we experiencing such high rates of disruption, say, extinctions.

Now I'm thinking you could explore more the multi-useness of it. First, you expose an API for accessing the nestable lists from the browser (and other clients, but I like the browser), then various apps can be built on top of it, and they all could be accessed from the main site, such as:

- note taking

- server logs

- manual logs of events (I've seen these in use in lots of small business where some employee must log what happened in its turn)

- personal journal

- mixpanel-like thing

- analytics of any kind

- computer-generated logs of anything that doesn't need a full-fledgeded database and system of its own (I'm thinking specifically of the logs of people who used their password to open a dor we have in our building, that communicates via serial port with a server that stores that info, but very ineffienciently)

The last line in the post, I believe, summarizes the post.
> surely the headline should be warning Samsung, not Apple

Even then, Xaiomi surely couldn't compete with Samsung on pricing or advertising, given Samsung's huge advantage as a component manufacturer.

Requiring admins to ssh to a different, unique-to-them, user, and use sudo from there for any operations requiring root is much better.

It's far easier to audit what's been done to the server, which is important not just for compliance but also for figuring out why something's broken suddenly.

It also means that you get to have your own shell history, your own shell settings, your own vim settings, etc, etc.

In general, having proper deployment, log collection and config management tools in place tends to mean you rarely need to scp files around at all - and the cases when you do, you can work around this by scping them to some other dir, and moving them locally with a sudo command.
It's all about branding. So far there is not a single Chinese company that has been able to build up their own brand from scratch to become a leader in the consumer space.
The strategy therefore is to buy out established Japanese and European companies for their brand value - but none of these candidates have the reputation and brand capability to get even close to Apple or Google.
Saying "you will go with the Xiaomi offering every time" based on just three factors (price, screen size and camera quality) is over-the-top, hugely simplistic and ignores phenomenally important elements like marketing and the actual software on the phone.

The truth is nltk is basically crap for real work, but there's so little NLP software that's put proper effort into documentation that nltk still gets a lot of use.

You can work your way down the vast number of nltk modules, and you'll find almost none of them are useful for real work, and those that are, ship a host of alternatives that are all much worse than the current state-of-the-art.

nltk makes most sense as a teaching tool, but even then it's mostly out of date. The chapter on "Parsing" in the nltk book doesn't even really deal with statistical parsing. The dependency parsing work referenced in this post is almost all 1-3 years old, so obviously it isn't covered either.

As an integration layer, nltk is so much more trouble than it's worth. You can use it to compute some of your scoring metrics, or read in a corpus, but...why bother?

I'm slowly putting together an alternative, where you get exactly one tokeniser, exactly one tagger, etc. All these algorithms have the same i/o, so we shouldn't ask a user to choose one. We should just provide the best one.

My previous post, on POS tagging, shows that ntlk's POS tagger is incredibly slow, and not very accurate: https://honnibal.wordpress.com/2013/09/11/a-good-part-of-spe... . nltk scores 94% in 3m56s, my 200 line implementation scores 96.8% in 12s.

I used to use nltk for tokenisation and sentence-boundary detection, but this library seems better for that: https://code.google.com/p/splitta/

Would you like to clarify how, from a security standpoint, the string "root" is worse than another user?

Allowing root login can be a user-management headache in multi-user environments, but strong SSH security can exist for root just the same as for any other user.

One thing we should've learned from apple long ago, is that hard numbers (larger, sharper screens, more GHz, more RAM) do not make a better product.

Apple means clicks/ad displays. Like you said, Android OEMs should be the ones concerned more with this, than Apple.

Xaiomi actually makes good devices, design and spec wise. Android + Google Play + MIUI (iOS look) at prices cheaper than Samsung.

The hardware/design of the latest Xaiomi is very reminiscent of OnePlus One, hmmm.
So you're not willing to push harder because you don't want to break the warranty, but you're not going to claim on the warranty either? Huh? What do you have to lose by trying something that might break the machine compared to what you've done now?

Oh I agree 100% here, I had a Java version of a project that went from 15k qps to 60k qps just by switching to the Azul JVM.

That said I still ended up crushing that with Nginx/LuaJIT and I didn't need a proprietary JVM that wouldn't work on some systems because of kernel modules it needed to install etc.

"Evolution" is a hot button issue for some evangelican christians and is a big deal in the USA, leading some to think the only sort of science vs. religion topic is evolution. As you point out, RCC is fine with evolution.

But RCC are not very scientific when it comes to matters of sex or sexuality. They oppose teaching about contraception, and often spread lies and misinformation about condoms, abortion, homosexuality, etc.
It's not necessarily a matter of being good. Writing efficient code doesn't mean that you can build a mental model for a reasonably complex projects, which will naturally accumulate dependencies. If you're lucky, you'll get a mental model of the component you're working on, and some of the more problematic dependencies. That's where being able to dive into arbitrary code during execution becomes crucial. Especially if the problem occurs in a piece of code you don't have access to at the layer you operate, and hence can't display the value for easily, or at all.

It doesn't. Xiaomi phones ship with MIUI [1], a heavily modified version of Android; also, Xiaomi is not an OHA member. I doubt they will ever get the GMS certificate.

MIUI does has its own Store though, but the store may face real copyright issues outside China...

For example there is nothing very early stage in New York that wields the respect and track record of YCombinator or SV Angel. Both of those have become institutions in SV and are very important as connectors and seed stage investors.

The Stanford ecosystem is another example that is well oiled. The Cornell Tech campus in NYC has tons of potential, but it's still quite new.
State of the art research indicates that joint processing (segmentation, tagging and syntactic analysis) achieves better results than a pipeline model.
For an example, see Hatori et al: http://aclweb.org/anthology//P/P12/P12-1110.pdf

Also, OPs model only runs unlabeled dependency parsing. Most applications require labeled dependency parsing, which is much harder. State of the art results for English are currently ~93% established by Joakim Nivre and Yue Zhang in http://www.sutd.edu.sg/cmsresource/faculty/yuezhang/acl11j.p... and based on the zpar parser framework (see http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sc609/pubs/cl11_early.pdf ).

zpar ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/zpar/ ) is the fastest dependency parser I am aware of, and it achieves lower parsing rates.

In all papers, note how many more feature templates are specified. More recent work contains yet another order of magnitude more feature templates. I'm betting python (w/ or w/o Cython) won't last very long as competition.

All that being said, the most significant problem in this part of NLP is that the best corpus files required for training modern accurate models are very expensive to license for both research and commercial purposes (tens if not hundreds of thousands of $s).

Yeah, definitely. That's the only reason I spent extra money on a Macbook. I have a weird obsession with silhouettes of fruit. My decade of professional software development experience didn't even factor into it; I'm merely a slave to trends and popularity.
</sarcasm>

Apple's laptops are really, really good. They don't really target the lower end of the market; while they have relatively lower specs for some components, they also use pretty high-quality materials and design. The cost difference between a Macbook and a similarly-specced, similar-quality machine from another manufacturer is minimal.

The tradeoff is higher in China, no doubt, due to the inflated price of Apple hardware relative to locally-produced examples.

In any case, even if you argument made sense (it doesn't), Macs have been "more expensive" (they're not) than other manufacturer's offerings forever. What's changed now?

Part of the findings not mentioned in the story included detection of human remains in the same location that aligns where the plane was found.

Having privately seen a copy of the original report it is quite convincing, although it remains to be seen if authorities will follow up this lead.

It breaks down all of the different materials detected and their locations in accordance to where they would be relative to the alleged location, as well as evidence of those materials not being found from data earlier in March
