But if it isn't prevalent (which is likely to remain the case for the near future), and the regional agencies issuing subpoenas are technically pretty clueless (which I think they mostly are), then it will be effective. That's pretty near the best you can do, as long as you need to log IPs in some form for spam prevention.

Incidentally - a slightly more effective solution might be to put the 'did this IP visit recently' function in a secure microprocessor, rate limit it so it can't be bruteforced at more than a modest rate (in case of DDOS you can always temporarily stop using it), and throw away the keys to reprogram it. That really will stop everyone but the NSA, but it's about a million times more difficult and expensive...
My project may be a bit different from most as it is hardware. I've been building a photo booth and associated photo booth hire business over the last few months.

Had the first event two weeks back which ran great. Made a few improvements and had it out again last weekend. Next 4 weekends have bookings, and starting to fill up for bookings late this year and early next year.

Professional photography was taken of the booth yesterday which will be used for marketing purposes (it was quite hard to get the bookings without having a completed unit!). I am now ready to start ramping up the marketing (/bookings).

Next step is to improve the website (which I made in Webflow). If you are interested, clickable link is https://readysteadybooth.com.au

Oops! The "A x B = C" figure is exactly backwards. A matrix with shape (r, k) times a matrix with shape (k, c) should return a matrix with shape (r,c). The figure incorrectly claims that a matrix (k,m) times a matrix with shape (n,k) returns a matrix with shape (n,m), which is only true if all of these numbers are equal (eg. square matrices).

Kind of an embarrassing typo for an article that is essentially about matrix multiplication.

Here is a corrected (transposed) version of that figure: http://i.imgur.com/Bo6CJCv.png

Edit: It looks like every figure in the article suffers from this problem. I know FORTRAN matrices store each column contiguously in memory, but whether a matrix is accessed like * (ptr + r * ncols + c) or * (ptr + c * nrows + r) is (in my opinion) a low-level detail and shouldn't affect our thinking about how multiplication works.

You can use this application in Emacs without using Emacs as an editor. In fact, if what you really want is to have this as a separate ncurses application, you're in luck: That is already the case. (Though Emacs is not ncurses)

(The fact that people don't realize this baffles me. I would really like to see more people who don't use Emacs as an editor using some of the applications built on Emacs.)
Cancer research is well into the realm of diminishing returns. Far more lives could be saved if the money were spent on things such as malaria prevention and potable water in the developing world.
Maybe it's unrealizable at the moment for x86 code. On the other hand, for random digraphs of arcade-game microcontrollers, JSMESS is doing pretty well at achieving this. :)
I'm not the best FPGA engineer out there, but I am relatively educated. I agree that most of the tools suck, but I'm quite impressed with Vivado. Xilinx has really upped their game there. Does anyone have any experience with it, and if so, do you agree?
Mhh. I was never very impressed.

It started when they initially refused to credit RepRap with all the open-source stuff they included in MakerBot. They then proceeded to bury the credit when they finally gave it.

They claimed they were putting a lot of unique IP in, but realistically in v1 it was just a different case.

Ultimately MakerBot tried to cash in on a trend, by taking a lot of open source design and building a product around it - but failing to do so in a open friendly fashion, and not understanding how to do product management.
They will never call it HBO Linear because they aren't bad enough at branding. That's almost as bad as Qwickster.

We'll lose the sense of community that comes from simultaneous viewings. But, people still bond over books and book series, which is what Netflix programming will be like.
I don't read whatever people recommend to me; I prioritize what's available based on what I think will have the greatest impact on me. But whatever I do read, I try to read it all the way through. Books have layers, like an onion. Each time you read a book, you peel back another layer of meaning. The first time I read a book, I don't let myself get hung up on what I don't understand; I just keep reading until I've reached the end. Then, if the book is really worth re-reading, I'll do it, and pay more attention to the details. You can get through a lot of tough material that way, and get 85-90% of the benefits as you would just sitting there, trying to grok every. Single. Word.
Yes! "Emacs as an application platform" is a really great way to quickly write text-focused, keyboard-controlled applications (as most developer tools are). It even has graphical support in addition to running in the terminal, so you can use it wherever you would otherwise use ncurses as a straight upgrade. (As I recommend at the end of here[0])

Stop rules are fine, we'd probably go insane if we didn't use them. But as soon as somebody questions the validity of a stop rule, it should cease to be a stop rule and become subject to rational examination. Once you are satisfied that it is indeed valid, it becomes a stop rule again... until next time.

In other words, we should be comfortable with switching between two modes: a "production" mode where we rely on our stop rules to get things done efficiently, and a "debugging" mode where we can step back to examine our source code. Failure to switch modes like this leads to assholery as exemplified by the various examples mentioned in the article.

The most dangerous stop rules are the ones you don't understand. Most non-IT business executives have no understanding of how encryption works. It's magic to them. Therefore, they are incapable of stepping back and examining it. They segfault as soon as they try to switch modes, so after a while, they don't even try. Most DRM schemes are the same. It's a mantra that they chant without understanding. And from the point of view of consumers who suffer from the consequences, sufficiently serious incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
Yes. I'd also add that loop optimizations tend to magnify in importance when you consider that the loop might be vectorized. Especially since the state of scatter/gather SIMD intrinsics is so poor at the moment...
Isn't this what m4 is supposed to be used for?
Is that because you don't trust yourself not to watch it all in a binge situation? The shows on netflix could easily be watched one episode at a time on a regular schedule if that's what you prefer. You get both options (and hundreds of other scenarios) instead of just the one decided by someone else (or else having to record it on a DVR to make your own schedule).
"It's going to kill performance, but it's legal to do."

Sure, but it's going to cause the optimizer to do different things than it would have to that variable. As I said, this essentially changes what the compiler is allowed to do, and will expose or hide bugs (usually hide if it hurts the optimizer) :)

One only has to look at the bugzilla's of gcc and llvm to discover all sorts of fun things that barriers hide/expose.

No kidding about Comcast - Streampix? Talk about derivative naming. And it's priced to kill Netflix at $5/mo for cable subscribers.

I'm not so sure about the pirating scene - while big content providers likely will never kill it, they seem to have lawmakers in their pockets, and so will criminalize it as much as possible - expect draconian measures to destroy the most dangerous threat to big content providers.

When I saw the title I thought it was some kind of a talent retention scheme, like "golden handcuffs"...
Thanks for the article tip hadn't seen it. But I don't agree with your conclusion. In fig 1-6, you should look at the last column. Because really the other channel numbers are quite low. Knowing that, the space domain algo, only really has a chance at 3x3 filters which is quite small.

And since they claim fbfft was even faster than cufft, the situation should look even better for fft.

EDIT: And they are about tied in the 3x3, 64 case.
The article actually touches on this issue a bit.

"The main competitor to the GEMM approach is using Fourier transforms to do the operation in frequency space, but the use of strides in our convolutions makes it hard to be as efficient."
It's nice to know that the other people watching a show are also at the same point as you are (or relatively close), allowing you to speculate on what might happen next in the time between episodes.

I also like looking forward to the next episode, which doesn't really happen when you can watch that next episode immediately (and self imposed waiting doesn't feel the same).

Not to be callous, but diminishing returns for whom? Hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, medical science, or humanity? Who is to say that research for cancer couldn't lead to breakthroughs in other important areas. Saying we shouldn't pursue X because you could do Y better strikes a bit hollow. Why do we explore space? We could spend that money on impoverished children.[0]

The fact is, people just aren't that inclined to give a damn about some kids wallowing in a third-world country as they are their dying grandmother, father, or child. There is nothing wrong with that. Human suffering is human suffering.

The current trend in convolutional neural networks seems to be moving toward more convolutions with smaller kernels. This year's second-place ILSVRC winner (VGG) is essentially a giant stack of 19 convolution layers with super tiny kernels, sandwiched between nonlinearities and pooling.

Hmmm. Original article talks about the difficulty of black women finding partners of their own race for family formation. You observe that a solution to this has been legal since 1967 (obviously referring to Loving v. Virginia) and that the potentially resulting babies are cute. I suggest that this is not such a simple issue, because the babies in question would still have to deal with structural racism later in life.

Now you switch to saying that the problem was black women saying "I can't get a date that matches my extremely specific qualifications". So finding a life partner is now just a matter of getting a date, and preferring someone of your own race is now an 'extremely specific qualification'...and you think I've lost the thread?

And yes, if that was my son's problem, I'd tell him to either lift and be awesome or accept being forever alone.

The hypothetical problem I presented was 'Dad, quite a lot of people express hostility towards me on the basis that I'm black. Help me out.' as opposed to 'I can't get a date that matches my extremely specific qualifications.' While the latter problem could be an instance of the former, they're far from being identical. You'll forgive me if I don't go the effort of providing Venn diagrams to support this claim.

As for requiring some specific experience to be a good parent, I find the idea a bit ridiculous.

That's not what I'm suggesting, and is wholly an invention on your part. What I said was that you don't seem to have through through the sort of problems that your offspring would be likely to encounter; my thesis is that this lack of apparent concern would be a major disincentive to marriage for a lot of black women insofar as they're looking beyond their short-term personal desire and thinking about things like family formation...as discussed in the original article.
Warplans require that resources be allocated. If you come up with a plan that requires S3 and AWS and your company gives you a Dell Server attached to the local cable internet, you too may become a scapegoat for a failed plan.
So at its core (a rather large core), the internet is advertising -- curated, paid spam? Granted, some of it is actually helpful in providing a pointer to a product I didn't know about, but it's interesting how all of these companies are proxies for a salesman.
I prefer to develop my own schedule for watching a show.

Generally I wait for the entire season of a show to come out and then schedule several nights of viewing (over a couple months) with friends where we watch 3-4 episodes at a time. The downside of this is having to avoid discussion of the show in the few months after release.

With Netflix dumping seasons at a time it makes it much easier, and much more fun, to do this.
In hindsight, I really didn't mean to emphatically state:

"The overbite is the direct result of humans developing/using eating utensils"

I just meant to mention the theory and that I thought I first learned about the theory on the HN front page, but perhaps I read about it elsewhere anyway.

Looking just quickly at Google I believe the theory originates with Anthropologist, C. Loring Brace [1] a specialist in the evolution of hominid teeth[2].

Why necessarily dumber? I know that there is a trend for lower educated families to have more children, but also smart people tend to marry other smart people, so there is selection for intelligence at play.

So over the next say 100 years, the contribution of Darwinian evolution to "evolution" of human species will be unnoticeably small, just as the contribution of technology will be larger than ever before.
Being computationally limited by GEMM is both a benefit and a pitfall. The operation itself is highly parallelizable and typically compute-bound (as opposed to memory-bound). As a result, advances in GPU performance will translate into improvements in GEMM. However, it also means that algorithmically you're limited by the hardware. GEMM is an _extremely_ mature so algorithmic improvements are unlikely. Instead, any algorithmic improvements would likely stem from replacing GEMM with a more tailored, specialized operation.
I would be very interested to see if this approach outperforms more conventional deep networks trained with backpropagation.

It's important to note that (from what I understand) this paper seems to focus on building single-layer NNs, which are quite different from the behemoth AlexNet that this article focuses on.

On The Connection Machine: "Beautiful thesis, though it doesn't tell you anything you can really do today."

I don't understand: is data-parallel computing on a GPU much worse somehow? Or is it that there are better sources to read about data-parallel algorithms?
Different parts of the computation are bound in different ways. The "rule of thumb" for AlexNet-derived networks (with conv layers followed by fully connected layers) is that 95% of the computation time is spent in the conv layers, but 95% of the parameters are stored as the weights of the FC layers. I imagine the later stage could be memory-bound and the former stage is CPU-bound.

Not sure if this holds true for other NN structures like GoogLeNet or the weirder recent fully convolutional networks.

Further, cancer research is far from being in the realm of diminishing returns. The next generation of targeted treatments such as immunotherapies, chimeric antigen related approaches, engineered viruses, etc, that work for many different varieties of cancer will be far more effective than today's staples of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
I agree that one thing that's lost is the ability to discuss episodes with people as a show progresses. Since you never know what episode a person is on you can't really risk discussing things until you're sure the person has caught up. With weekly shows like Game of Thrones for instance, you can feel pretty comfortable discussing an episode amongst other fans. Not sure if that's really something I'll miss when it's gone, but it's definitely a big change with Netflix that ultimately started as a smaller disruption with DVR devices...

I suppose personally my feelings on the matter is even though I might lose the few advantages that you mentioned, the disadvantages far outweigh it and I won't miss the airing of shows like Breaking Bad or Suits that took one season and split them in half with gigantic gaps in between (months or even years), to the point where you can't even remember where the show was going by the time it returns. I like the freedom to watch at whatever schedule I prefer, without any kind of arbitrary limitations that may or may not suit my lifestyle at the time, and the confidence to know I'm going to be able to see a story through from start to finish once devote time to it...

No doubt, though there's also a fair degree of hubris in that statement. HBO is already going strong from a 15-year streak of unprecedented critical success, having birthed genuine cultural touchstones such as The Sopranos and The Wire.

Netflix is making an incredible effort to catch up: They're giving great creative talent a lot of creative freedom, and they've certainly put out some fine prestige content in their first three years, but even House of Cards isn't really batting at the same level as HBO's landmark achievements.

I think when Hastings says "I predict HBO will do the best creative work of their lives in the next 10 years," there's a tiny bit of projection there – he knows HBO will have to continue to put out landmark content because sooner or later, Netflix will indeed have its own, bona-fide Sopranos.

As a fan of long-form episodic cinema, no other rivalry could make me more excited.
