There's an odd mix of people in possession of downvote powers, and not all of them are particularly discerning in their use of the downvote button. I think a lot of people past the 500 point mark got their because of one lucky submission (or a small handful of decent picks), and not necessarily because of the quality of their character.

Anyway, I think, at a cursory glance, people (or maybe just one narrow-minded person) are assuming that you intend to dismiss the significance of the interpretation of dreams.

I think your concept is pretty insightful though. Considering the distortion of time we experience during sleep, where dreams can seem to span decades, or seconds, yet transpire within hours or fractions of an hour, that aspect holds up well with the premise that we reconstruct the context of the dream based on the state we're confronted with when awakening.
I love this plugin -- it's not perfect, but it gives me just enough of vim to make XCode pleasant to use.
I took Discrete Optimization. and it's pretty good, too. But I was way out of my depth The cool thing is though that it gave me anchors for a lot of the algorithms in Roughgarden- I look at the algorithm and see an application for it from that class

But Roughgarden is top drawer, too.
But a file system forms a tree whereas a Markov chain is a directed graph, cycles allowed. Or are you thinking of a file system with cyclical symlinks?
The newsletters and general strategy seem great. I was concerned at first that this was a cranky contributor that decided to take his toys and go somewhere else for some superficial feature. After reading the first few updates it's clear that they're initially concerned with the basic foundation of the app (e.g. refactoring, modernization, and testing), which is wildly at odds for a superficial vanity project. I came away thinking that they really love the editor and have its best interests at heart for a modern implementation. Good luck to them!

There is also a recent RadioLab episode about tCDS and its effects. A company is using them to train military snipers.
I don't particularly understand the point of this. There's absolutely nothing hard to distinguish about a score on the television, especially when soccer is a low-scoring game which isn't all that hard to keep track of if you're remotely paying any attention, and channels like Univision have incredibly minimalistic, easy to distinguish graphics. I don't know what Sky is doing, but ESPN and Univision are pretty straightforward.

All I get out of this is some people trying to Web 3.0-ify something that doesn't need to be. The clock looks absolutely dreadful and sticking minutes on top of seconds is an unnatural approach to displaying time in the context of a sport.
here is another interesting tale of home-made speakers, this fellow made some very large boxes and had very specific drivers he wanted but they were still inexpensive. He used active (powered as opposed to passive RLC network) crossovers. Also he built his own off-grid house with mini-hydro plant. the OP will probably find it interesting. I ended up reading every page on this fellows 90's style website.

Keep in mind that functional programming is inherently less efficient than a random access machine[1]:

... And it is not easy to create their equally efficient general-purpose immutable counterparts. For purely functional languages, the worst-case slowdown is logarithmic in the number of memory cells used, because mutable memory can be represented by a purely functional data structure with logarithmic access time (such as a balanced tree).

In this case I think you could use (a pair of?) balanced trees to keep a mapping between the graph and the FIbonnaci heap, as well as for any "mutable" state you need to keep per node.

Before smashing particles together, physicists use mathematical models to predict exactly what they will see given different assumptions, usually with incredibly high degrees of accuracy. There are no such models of higher-level cognitive processes in neuroscience. They are very different.
This is insanely important.

The goal of an operating system is to run applications. The installation and packaging of software should be as simple as possible.

For whatever reason, the Linux desktop community does not see this as an issue.

If I want Vim 7.4, 7.3 and 7.1 installed at the sametime, your package manager should support it. What if 'X' plugin is only compatible with 7.1 and 'Y' plugin is only compatible with 7.4. This is a valid use case.

Lately, I have been using Docker to work around this, but it's not fun setting up GUI applications in a container.

I think that Susanne really "gets it". You could build a platform and abide by all reasonable and also silly regulations across the 200+ jurisdictions around the world, or else just like bitcoin, you could cause a "grasshopper syndrome" and make the platform virtually impossible to shut down. You know how that medieval court ordered the grasshoppers to cease and desist camping on farmer John's field. They didn't leave. So, farmer John and his court just learned to live with it. Bitcoin is seriously changing the world in many unexpected ways.
What brudgers is saying is that there is no proof that can be made that anyone is conscious but yourself. Sure, you can experience love and feelings that lead you to believe that this partner of yours is conscious, and other people are.. But ultimately, there is a HUGE difference and leap of assumption between consciousness and reactiveness. We know animals are reactive. We only know that our self-being is conscious.

Obviously these are Matrix-type thoughts. I am just trying to explain brudgers point.

Only half of the 'android' phones use GMS which is licensed from Google. The others are based on AOSP, and Google has no control over those.

Since Android as a whole has around 80% market share globally, Google controls at best 40%'of it.

Samsung is a GMS licensee, and is certainly beholden to Google for their version of Android, but this in no way supports the claim that Google has grabbed the majority market share. They simply have not.

It serves Google for people to think they have more control over the market than they actually do, but it's bad for everyone else.

I think some readers might be mistaking this for a 'Self-awareness on-off switch'

The subject's state could be compared to somebody in certain phases of sleep or in a coma. Not the same as those, but quite close. A quote in the article describes her as being 'still awake', but I wonder what that means.

It's not like the subject became a zombie. According to the very brief description, she just became completely unresponsive, didn't do anything, and had no memory of what had happened.

We loved GTK. It let us do great things for so many years... it was a necesary step while there were no other LGPL libraries.

But we got rid of it, changed all our code to Qt, which run circles around GTK Never looked back, best decision we could ever make. It works beautifully in all platforms, it integrates OpenGL, pdf output, printers support.

The only problem about Qt is that not all open source programs use it, so you use Inkscape(GTK) in Mac and works so badly, you can't even copy vectors(it copies pixel images instead!!).

GTK should die.
Oh, your markdown-editor looks really shiny... have you since given up working with ometa? For some reason it never occurred to me that ometajs and nodejs might be a great match until I read your (entirely client side) stuff ... I guess I just needed the right context to make the connection.

The more I think about it, the ability to create ones own language and execute on the server or on the client as one sees fit, seems like a really nice match. And all without having to do something "heavy handed" like clojurescript or other "overt" compile-to-js stuff...

Hm, and here I thought I'd given up on nodejs, and was ready to move on to other server side languages ;-)

Writing a custom markdown DSL that can live-preview in the editing client, and render to static html on the server for high volume, low-overhead hosting sounds kind of appealing... (There are of course many ways to do this, but the idea of a single, concise grammar and rendering engine is very appealing....).
Not easily. And if it did, it would be out of date before long, since this is static HTML.

But what football really needs is a way to scratch below the surface and expose casual fans to the tactics and little bits of skill involved. The television camera really doesn't do games justice compared to what you see/hear watching in real life.

No, it means the worst case is bounded above and below by n^2. That is, the worst-case scales no worse or better than n^2, but approximately proportional, asymptotically. (Whereas, for example, every O(n^2) algorithm also happens to be O(2^n))

The best case is something entirely separate, and can itself be bounded from above or below.
We absolutely have a long way to go, I wonder if we'll "solve" many of the open problems in brain science, medicine and consciousness in the next 100 years. The human brain is outrageously complicated, and much of it's workings are hidden to us, in essentially a featureless grey goo.

I agree with Djerassi that the term "polymath" is confusing and detrimental. I think it's so because it describes what kind of knowledge one has, not what function that knowledge provides.

'Deep integrators' I think would be a better term, as opposed to the 'shallow integrators' that we call 'integrators' today and that know a little about a lot and excel about making lots of conspicuous connections. As opposed to a 'shallow integrator', a 'deep integrator' knows a lot about a lot and excels about having meaningful contributions in a lot of areas and making connections that are deep but mostly inconspicuous (for example, we'll never know what part of the skills acquired while learning chemistry and of the connections made between chemistry and writing made him a better writer, but I am sure this part of "inconspicuous deep connections" exists).
Who would go there? It'd be hacker news without the news (articles).

[Joel Dietz's] swarm bio at http://swarmcorp.com/team.html lists "#Harvard #Brown #Penn" but his LinkedIn profile seems to indicate that he did not actually get a degree from all of these institutions.

UPenn's 257th commencement program lists one Joel Dietz among their 2012 Master of Arts recipients [1]; and Brown's undergraduate East Asian Studies 2012 alumni newsletter mentions one Joel Dietz '04 having "just finished his M.A. in the East Asian Languages and Civilizations department at the University of Pennsylvania" [2].

The founder's affiliation with Harvard is less clear-cut: apparently he took an introductory Sanskrit course through the Summer School in 2012 [3,4], but it is unclear if he was affiliated in any other more substantive or relevant capacity.

For what it's worth, the founder's swarm bio now lists "#Brown #Penn #SalesforceMVP" instead; and an article from less than a month ago listed two different core team members than today [5].

Either way, it is paramount that business leaders be forthright about their academic credentials --remember Scott Thompson?--, especially in such a confidence-tricked industry, and especially when they purposedly cite them as a signal of technical ability and experience [6] --pointless credentialism, if you ask me.

Thanks for linking to that PDF! Very interesting read!
I built my house using insulated concrete forms (ICF), which work just like giant foam lego blocks that you fill with concrete after assembly. They're already in wide use and have been for decades. The material described in this article is different. I can't judge whether it's better, but ICFs work pretty darn well. Their big downside is that you get a very strong, very well-insulated concrete house, but it costs a lot of money to make a concrete house, and unless you live in a hurricane or tornado area, you might be better off building a flimsier house.

Does this kind of a system manifest itself as a webapp or as a dedicated Windows box with a GUI. Are the "machine readable rules" merely saved in the database - does anyone know how these look like in terms of schema ?
No. The German word for key is schlüßel. The English word key is derived from the French word clé, meaning key.
Consciousness is not found in one part. To use a software analogy, they have commented out the main() function - but what makes the system what it is is all the code and it's mutual interactions - but it won't run with that important function removed.
You just made me willing to resurrect a months old pet project that is exactly about this :) I previously labelled it as "too geeky to be commercially viable" but maybe with a different interface it might turn into some kind of usable service with and adds based or subscription based profit model and shit-load of personal data useful for deep psychological profiling by third parties (caugh...).

But I don't have high hopes of creating the next Google... the idea itself cools as it may be it's unpatentable and has most likely been independently invented elsewhere. The technology already exists and once the idea gets out, the likes of Google would definitely have a huge competetitive advantage by implementing it on top and integrating it with their existing infrastructure... so I still can't imagine any way a small startup can make profit out of this.

Anyway, I won't say more but I'll start slowly resurrecting it, and if I don't get any useful business ideas in the meantime, I'll get it to the point where it's a nice cool opensource-project that people can start to play with it to know at least that the idea hasn't just withered and died in my head...
I notice there are no screenshots of these terrible UI's the author mentions. Probably because they are not terrible. They show a clock | team name | score | score | team name. It couldn't get much simpler to understand.
Is there some way to break computation? I had a look at the tutorial, and went from: (take 10 nats) via (take 1 (reverse (take 1000 nats))) to doing the same with 10000000 (or so). ctrl-z and pkill let me go on to to other things, but it would've been nice if ctrl-c worked as well...?
Some thoughts:

* Showing colors of jerseys is not necessarily new, ARD and ZDF in Germany are doing this for a long time now.

* I like the round clock BUT! Why are the seconds below minutes? It's confusing. Why does the red bar representing stoppage time grow while the stoppage time itself shrinks (it's a countdown)? Does not work well together imo. What do you display when the game lasts longer than stoppage time? -00:56? And why take the screen estate of seconds for stoppage time? They aren't gone or anything. And I get the intention of "cutting" the clock in half for representing half times, but since the shape is primarily a clock I was wondering why the 30 minute mark is important. I'd cut the clock in quarters and use three of them to display the game's progress (45 min - one half).

* How does this work on low-res TVs? They are still out there and need to be considered.

* Did they explain their icons? What's e.g. the soccer field icon supposed to tell me?

As a whole it doesn't seem to be thought through, sadly.

> because breaking new ground is so much harder.

I don't think that this is true. Most things seem easier than they were once they were done. It has a little bit to do with how in NP-complete problems finding a solution is really hard, but once you have the solution, testing that it is right is really easy and that the solution looks very straight-forward.
