>Whenever you offer up an analogy, you want to choose it carefully, and be sure to convey its limitations.

Yes, maybe if you're presenting at a conference or a lecture or something like that. Not if you want to get a bunch of kids motivated/interested in a topic. In the case of this video, the limitations can only be understood by people in that field. Sure, You can hand-wave a general clarification like "this isn't actually how it is, because <insert boring text that nobody will remember>" - which would be pointless (IMO) and convey no real information. Because the "real" information takes several years of academic training to understand and comprehend.

>And trust me, learning GR with Kip Thorne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kip_Thorne) makes the above commenter qualified to offer an opinion.

Sorry but it changes nothing in my mind. If the OP had said "Hey I would have said it this way and guess what I've successfully used it to motivate X, Y and Z into taking up science" - I'd have been way more impressed and given the "above comment the respect it deserves".
I have seen 0 evidence of any mass compromise.

In fact I've seen 0 evidence of even one site being compromised.

Mother Teresa Humanitarian Image a 'Myth,' New Study Says (2013)
Bad legislation only sucks when you're at the wrong end of it.

That really sums up the problem with all governments quite nicely.
The US has massively paid down debt at several points in history. And several countries have gone vary close to zero debt. The real issue is debt is like crack to elected officials as you get to seemingly spend money without apparently raising taxes.

I am by no means an AI professional or neurobioligist, but I have read recently that a major problem with neural networks is that they do not have glial cells which, among other things, move synapses around and helps with synapse growth.

There are around 100 billion neurons in the brain and 100 trillion synapses. This indicates to me that synapses may be more important to biological neural networks than neurons are, and yet most ANN research has been focused exclusively on neurons (I once asked my teacher which neurons to connect to each other and recommended using a GA, which is not a bad idea but it indicates to me we have a very poor understanding of how synapses aught to work to make better ANNs.)

I disagree with the overly pessimistic view of this article however. To say that our standard neural networks are not nearly as complex as biological ones would be accurate, but this hardly means that ANNs are doomed forever, we just need more research into the things that matter.
A search function would be killer.
It's not about the name thing. It's about the usage of parts of the licensed material without following the license. For example, commit messages, the subtitle, etc.

Theoretically:

* tip4commit violates the license the code is published under (for example if it has a NonCommercial clause).

* The original author is now the only one who has copyright.

* tip4commit is using safe harbor protections (a user chooses to create a page for a project).

* DMCA is now applicable to protect the copyright of the original author.
You are right to some extent, but I think the reason I have these expectations is not that I'm some kind of computing perfectionist, it's simply that all my machines have had SSDs and high-res monitors for a while now.

Once you get used to that (which doesn't take long at all) the old, painfully slow ways no longer seem 'reasonable'.

Right now, my equipment may be fairly high-end, but we are fast approaching the day when virtually all computers have fast storage and 4K+ displays.

In 1992, I thought it was reasonable to dial a modem, log onto the Interzone BBS, and have conversations like this one at 9600 baud in Zterm on a 512x342 pixel screen. Few people would accept that today, though.

Having said that, I do agree that Dropbox + Lightroom + Picturelife is about as good as managing photos gets today. (I canceled my own Picturelife subscription, though, because using it was too slow.)
Apropos of nothing in particular: a good way of spotting vim hipsters is that they don't know what ; does, because they never used t or f. They do however very carefully use hjkl to move around, because the cursor keys are for squares ;)

I know that it's not necessarily tied to Gmail. My point was that now my site is dependent on their relationship to whatever they authenticated against. It might be gmail, it might be Facebook, it might be anything. If that thing either goes away, or revokes their access, they're gone from my site as well. That doesn't sit well with me.

> They put their internet life into the hands of Google or Yahoo or whatever by choosing such an email provider that may go down at any time. It's completely reasonable and does not actually put YOU in a position where your sites locks users into a third party, you are just giving more choice.

It's not reasonable. Not to me anyway. And isn't putting your internet life into the hands of any single place exactly antithetical to the entire idea of decentralization?

> it may not be perfect, but it is far better than what is currently taking over the entire web.

It's better than Facebook Connect or things like that, sure. But we aren't comparing it to that, we're comparing it to individual logins. Individual logins put the relationship into the hands of the users and me. That's where it should be.

KeePass and apps like that provide all of the major benefits to users without any of the downsides.

Perhaps because people often listen to podcasts in places where cellular may not be available? (planes, often subways, general dead spots) That said, I wouldn't object to a podcast app that updated the index but didn't actually download any titles; perhaps some can already do that. But the actual space taken up by the downloaded podcasts isn't usually a big deal.
Are you hiring for interns? :)
You can only really give meta-advice in this situation, and that's a good start.

Having read the Love Languages book a while back, I'd point out that soupajoe's summary there at the end of his post is probably a good 95% of the value of the book. The book, IIRC, also suggests the idea that people have a "primary" language, and this is AIUI contested and in my opinion likely to be pop-sci nonsense. My wife scores highly on everything except gifts, which she thinks she likes in the abstract but tends to not really be that impressed when they manifest in the concrete. I suspect that many people have varying profiles that often resist being able to call one "primary", but the real point here is that it gives you a good set of five things to think about, discuss with your partner, and try out. (Because you have to bear in mind that humans are shockingly bad at guessing what will make them happy. That's a general rule, not a relationship rule. In particular that implies that you should not abandon one of the types until you have tried it, pretty much regardless of what your partner says. And, mutatis mutandis, regardless of what you say your partner should, ideally, try it anyhow to see how it goes.)

As another example, consider the idea that some people generally want to have their problems heard but don't want them "solved" in the conversation [1]. Regardless of whether or how true it may be in general, it again gives you a dimension to think about, consider with your partner, and experiment with, because in the end, everybody is their own person. My wife would clock in somewhere around 80/20; 80% she's just expressing herself and not looking for solutions, but maybe a fifth of the time she's at least open to thoughtful suggestions (as if nothing else it shows I'm fully engaged). Your mileage will vary.

And so on; rather than necessarily taking anyone's advice here directly, consider it a possible dimension to explore with your partner. With everything mentioned here you've probably got a good set of things to consider.

Further, for all of these things, you'll want to work out not only your partner's preferences, but your own, and some may surprise you even though you've lived with yourself for your entire life. Know thyself has been good advice for a very long time.
"It’s so useful that I’ve bound it to ; (and nobody remembers what ; does anyway)."

The original binding of ; is super useful, and I would argue it should not be rebound.

; repeats the last f, t, F or T command.

There's also , which is the same as ; but in the opposite direction.
Doug Messier (Parabolic Arc) is known for his bias against Virgin Galactic.

I thought his comments about Kevin Mickey (President of Scaled Composites) not wanting to stick around for questions yesterday were way out of line.
I'm what guy? Are you implying I've made a comment like this before?

If other people have brought it up, it's because it should be brought up.

As for offline, Google likes to push things like Chrome apps working offline, so it does matter regardless of your snark.
At my last job, we sat around in the support bullpen trying to outdo each other with our desktops. The more 3D and "Matrix-y" the better. There was so much green phosphor text you'd think you were in a room full of old IBM 3270 CICS terminals.
Curiously, the reasons that you use OpenBSD are the reasons that I use Linux, it Just Works for me and I've had problems when trying to use BSD.

As I talk to more people about it, there seems to be a growing pattern that, it's just whatever system you grew up with is the one you're most comfortable with, and is the one you're most likely to use going forward.

Efficiency is a complex topic, buses are often less convenient in large part because there less frequently. In high traffic areas it can actually be faster to take a bus that's showing up every 2-3 minutes than wait for an cab / uber to happen by. The only real downside is it's harder to match demand so you often have large stretches of the day with few riders.
As I understand things, if an innocent (?) party dies while you're committing a felony, you're officially guilty of murder. I assume armed robbery of a pizza delivery guy is a felony (?), so why would the question of who pulled the trigger come up?

I don't actually like the you're-guilty-of-murder-if-your-cocriminal-kills-someone rule, but that seems like exactly the sort of case it's intended to work with.
(a) The document linked by the OP is to a blog post that discusses and extensively quotes another blog post [1] which in turn discusses an actual paper [2]. Naturally the paper is where the good stuff is.

(b) Both blog posts somewhat understate the problem. The adversarial examples given in the original paper aren't just classified differently than their parent image -- they're created to receive a specific classification. In the figure 5 of the arxiv version, for example, they show clear images of a school bus, temple, praying mantis, dog, etc, which all received the label "ostrich, Struthio camelus".

(c) The blog post at [1] wonders whether humans have similar adversarial inputs. Of course it's possible that we might, but I suspect that we have an easier time than these networks in part because:
(i) We often get labeled data on a stream of 'perturbed' related inputs by observing objects in time. If I see a white dog in real life, I don't get just a single image of it. I get a series of overlapping 'images' over a period of time, during which time it may move, I may move, the lighting may change, etc. So in a sense, human experience already includes the some of the perturbations that ML techniques have to introduce manually to become more robust.
(ii) We also get to take actions to get more/better perceptual data. If you see something interesting or confusing or just novel, you choose to focus on it, or get a better view because of that interestingness or novelty. The original paper talks about the adversarial examples as being in pockets of low probability. If humans encounter these pockets only rarely, it's because when we see something weird, we want to examine it, after which that particular pocket has higher probability.

I'd say one of the causes for over-medication is the lack of willingness of both parents and children to work on ways to succeed without use of medication.

I have (fairly bad) ADHD and my doctor did give me medicine, but only half the light dosage of Strattera, which isn't a stimulant.

Long story short, I ended up hating feeling comatose from the medicine so much I began to work through my ADHD by structuring my life and finding things I was actually interested in.

But it would've been so easy to give me some Adderall and let me just do my thing, which I believe a lot of parents and doctors do. It's the quick and easy route, but arguably worse in the long run when the children grow up to be adults dependent on managing their ADHD with a crutch instead of on their own.
That's weird. Unite doesn't exhibit this behaviour for me.

Nothing surprising or disappointing here in my opinion. It was my understanding from day 1 that ng was Google's experiment and attempt in transforming and mutating HTML into a language for web apps instead of web sites.
Thanks a lot for this response.

> If you never contemplated the possibility that you'd have competition, and that the competition might be better funded and further along than you, which is almost a given in today's market, you did not start your venture with realistic assumptions.

We always saw a lot of competition in the market (at the end, there are millions of ways people buy clothes) but didn't expect someone to be so spot on with our vision. This was real shocker. As you said, we didn't have realistic assumptions - it started as fun project and we thought we will abandon it like previous one. Only with time we realised this can really be something.

> If the existence of competition worries you enough to consider abandoning your venture before you have even launched and after you have asked others to invest money in it, you must honestly ask yourself whether you will have the stomach to keep going when you encounter real challenges, like technical hurdles that threaten your existence or disagreements with your friends/co-founders.

That's excellent questions. Luckily, after initial shock, I think this motivated us to work even harder. We don't want to give up on idea we really believe in just because someone else was couple months faster. We were postponing launching our app for a long time, and now we decided to just finish most important missing items and put it in Play store.

It also finally motivated me to reach out my network and try to at least have initial meeting with real investors in London. So far we only pitched to friends who probably might have been a bit too supportive.
Very interesting. One thing I notice about this architecture is that in the example given, the fourish features (loading suggestions, displaying suggestions, reloading all, reloading one) are pretty tightly complected together (especially further on, for example in the combineLatest area). Is this necessarily the case? Is there some better way of accomplishing this?

About Me: I'm a junior developer looking for a little more cutting edge work in the software world. I currently write C++ for proprietary CAD software to power CNC mills. While at my current company I have written a few custom web apps to help save thousands of developer hours per year. I also have experience with distributed computing with MPI and parallel programming with OpenMP. I'd like to transition to more of a back-end developer role and am an incredibly motivated individual.

I have remote experience managing intern developers/artists with a company I helped start while in college.

> Their job (or at least their office's job) is also to decide when and where to seek prosecution. In theory, determining truth and innocence is a significant part of their job.

There are a couple of problems with this:

1. When everyone is guilty of something, prosecutorial discretion is a disaster, not a desirable feature of the system. It's nothing other than the power to bankrupt and/or imprison whoever you don't like.

2. They don't do things by assessing truth and innocence. When my great-grandfather's mind went, some member of another branch of the family got appointed conservator of his estate, and proceeded to embezzle over $600K in "gifts" to herself and her family. My mother discovered this by coincidence, assembled a huge pile of damning evidence, and went to a prosecutor, who said he wouldn't bother charging her because she was a middle-aged woman and getting a conviction would be almost impossible.

My mother ended up suing, and on advice of counsel settled for the documented value stolen, rather than the full legal liability (which is a multiple of the losses). The theory there, as I recall, was "judges hate it when you go to trial even after being offered a settlement, so you should take the settlement".

Academic science is sexist: We do have a problem here
I don't mean this as a criticism -- as you are absolutely correct, your code does cut out a lot of the boilerplate and makes for a more compact function -- but I vastly prefer @cousin_it's function to yours in terms of readability. I think Python is a very pretty language but I always have a hard time reading Python code when it's heavy on the functional paradigms.
I'm sure someone else has considered this before, but perhaps optical illusions are similar examples of data that causes pathological behaviour?

Many of them constrain our viewpoint or the sequence of images viewed so we'd be unable to take the actions you mention to handle them.
No, it's just the standard comment made on HN. It probably doesn't represent the population in general and it doesn't add anything to the conversation.
For the record, PKK is recognized as a terrorist organization by the US, the EU, NATO, Canada, Japan, Australia, and at also at the state level by Germany, Spain, the UK, Netherlands etc. This organization is responsible for suicide bombings, roadside bombs, kidnappings & murder of both Turks and Kurds.

This doesn't justify repressive policies against any ethnic group, or minority - including the Kurds, of course. When people want Gay Marriage in the US, it's not like they form a terrorist organization and blow people up.
Retail goods and informational products. Why does it matter what it is?
I guess that's kind of the point. It all works just fine if you're a decent developer and know what to outsource and what to avoid. The platform/framework/language wars are a useless waste of time.
That's a much friendlier puff piece that some others:

"It also emerged that three senior Virgin Galactic executives - the vice-president in charge of propulsion, the vice-president in charge of safety, and the chief aerodynamics engineer - had all quit the company in recent months."

"The Sunday Telegraph disclosed that Sir Richard's company, as well as US authorities, were warned about safety issues on numerous occasions, as long ago as 2007 when three engineers died in an explosion during testing of a rocket engine on the ground."

"Tomasso Sgobba, executive director of IAASS and the former head of safety at the European Space Agency, said that Virgin Galactic had refused to share information with industry experts outside the company and declined to have its rocket design peer-reviewed. Representatives of Virgin Galactic had refused to come to IAASS meetings, he said."

There's heaps more.
