You need an error signal - a target value is compared with the networks prediction.
That error is carefully assigned proportionally to the network weights that contributed to it and the weights adjusted a small amount in that direction.
This is repeated many times.

Backpropagation suffers from vanishing gradients on very deep neural nets.

Recurrent Neural Nets can be very deep in time.

Or the weights could be evolved using Genetic Programming.

I don't think you'll really find a definitive answer on saturated fat. Reason being we know that foods very high in saturated fat are not healthy, but there are no natural foods with zero saturated fat (that I know of) so it's hard to imagine saturated fat is "unsafe at any level" like lead, which makes it much more difficult to handle.

Nobody buys their insurance for yearly cholesterol checks.

They think they do, and a lot of the ecosystem (providers, employers, politicians) reinforce that idea, but it's not something that actually exists.

That's because regular, routine costs (like new tires for your car) are NOT underwriteable. You can't insure for them, nor can you buy insurance for them.

If your insurance company is providing new tires every year or giving you wellness checkups every year, you're paying cash money for that somewhere. Even though they say it's an insurance benefit. It's not. Because math.

It's very difficult to have any kind of discussion about this when even this most basic of accounting identities is misunderstood.
Hmm, it sounds sort of promising, I wonder what kind of wattage laser it will ship with? I see you can now get dodgy-looking tiny usb-equipped laser engravers straight outta Shenzhen for about $100... but they are underpowered (~300mW), and apparently ship with buggy Windows-only software. Still, diminishing returns would make a $2,500 machine a hard sell for me, as much fun as it looks like.

Uhhh, shooters are one of the areas VR is weakest. As it currently stands, it disconnects the visual and physical sensations of moving too much. New technology might change that, but as far as we know, right now, the most successful apps won't be shooters.

I don't know what to say. You clearly have a bug up your ass about it. I doubt I'm going to convince you. I've been there, I've seen it, I work in and on it. I'm saying it's more than just a graphics gimmick. At the very least, it's a completely different way of thinking about applications. If you've experienced VR for yourself and and still don't see that, I don't know what to tell you.

"Explaining the lack of such attacks in practice requires significant additional modeling assumptions."

Yes, the main assumption being that burning such huge resources would in any way be recouped by a simple double spend.

A double spending attack, as the name implies, simply allows you to spend twice the same amount of bitcoins. Thus, "an attacker [who] can purchase mining power" needs to be able to do so at a lower cost than the value of the bitcoins he will spend for the second time. Obviously, considering the hashrate and the fact that you need around 51% of it, or, 30% of it according to some calculations, I can't envisage any scenario where such a cost would in any way be justified by simply spending your own coins twice.

Moreover, one has to consider that if such hashing power was used to simply do what it is meant to do, then the attacker would be supplied with fresh new bitcoins, probably to the tune of far more than any amount he can double spend.

That is why "the Bitcoin protocol is a stable Nash Equilibrium."

Factors that prevent states from going totalitarian:

- small size

- decentralized/local government structure

- limited geopolitical influence

- high level of education of the population

- history/culture of democracy

Large, powerful states with a lesser educated population will inevitably drift towards totalitarianism over time. This implies the use of various means of population control, with total surveillance being first and foremost.
Chartio's Data Boot Camp: Data Analysis Training for Beginners
The thing is that numbers are usually wrapped in other things, like objects, hashtables, arrays, etc, and OCaml is a beast at dealing with that kind of code.

From a purely numbers perspective, its operations on integers have to use the LEA instruction instead of ADD (for example) because of the 1-bit tag, which slows things down a bit, but the speed at dealing with symblic code as I explained above more than makes up for it.
That might make sense for the next omgchatpopapp, and it might make the marketing department happy to have a constant stream of feature noise, but that's not a universal truth, and I'd rather optimize my practices for practicing my craft with responsibility and care for the future.

Churn doesn't make sense for PostgreSQL; people who rely on software as a tool to accomplish their work generally do not benefit from incomplete poorly considered "minimum viable" solutions and a constant stream of instability. Strategies like continual delivery -- or focusing on MVP -- optimize for quickly proving/disproving user traction at a minimum possible expenditure, as to more quickly reach a stage where further growth can be funded via more investment.

In the process, these strategies incur a high percentage of false negatives -- including ideas that could work if given more consideration and care. These strategies are ultimately about exit events, not making well-crafted products that stand the test of time. Ironically, the latter is what often leads to much more substantial renumeration.
Historically Europe was a region constantly reminded of people power. The Greek crises is the first "European" action in the Eurozone since the foundation of the European Union.

But I'm also grateful that these actions happen as they remind everyone including myself of, well, power of the people, at some point other than the token 4 year vote.

I'm using Azure.

Mostly because of this very little known offering called the Microsoft Action Pack subscription: https://mspartner.microsoft.com/en/ca/Pages/Membership/actio...

It costs around $500 per year, offers your company access to a large number of Microsoft software licenses, free access to seats of Office 365 Enterprise (for hosted email on your own domain, in addition to the software), and most importantly, $110 in Azure credits per month.

The Azure credits alone make this an amazing deal that essentially cuts all Azure pricing by more than half, making it more than competitive with AWS/GCE/DO on the pricing front.

Yemeni Group Hacked Saudi Gov't: Releases Thousands of Top Secret Documents
Consider this: People are different. The answer may be specific to you.

One area that's getting some awareness in the literature is that some people are normally sensitive to insulin and some people are resistant to it. Now, I'm not talking about the people with conditions like hypoglycemia and diabetes. I'm talking about regular people have different insulin responses.

This means that the carb/protien/fat makeup of a given diet is going to have different results in the two groups of people.

IF you don't control for that in a study, you'll get confusing and inconsistent results.

Further, these studies are just at the level of "fat" not individual oils and the micronutrients.

It's possible coconut oil is very health for some people as part of a specific diet and terrible for other people as part of a different diet (or even the same diet.)
Essentially the proposal would require anyone selling intrusion detection systems or exploits to foreign buyers to provide the source code to the government first.

It sounds like this would not cover free software such as Metasploit and Snort, but would cover non-public exploits or rules.

Obviously this isn't enforceable on against non-commercial actors, but would force Wassenaar country based companies to give their proprietary security tools to their governments for free if they want to sell them outside their borders.

While I appreciate the sentiment that leads one to say "then don't donate," and especially for a codebase you've worked on for a while, simply "open sourcing it" might not be as straightforward as all that. Yet still, it leaves a strange taste in my mouth here in 2015 when you run across such an ambitious and successful project that asks the community for help but then prints this in their license: "The source code, design, and structure of the Software are trade secrets."

I understand the desire to generate income from it at some point, but then why are you asking people to blindly donate $80K to help you build a potential business model?

All that said, it's a fantastic program, and I wish the author much success in the future. A marriage of this and KSP would be like some sort of dream scenario :)

The shakespeare generator isn't just reproducing the syntactic structures, it occasionally seems to capture meter. The samples you've reproduced here aren't iambic, but they are around ten or eleven syllables per line, which is impressive enough in itself. In the longer passages, it manages some proper iambic pentameter:

My power to give thee but so much as hell:
Some service in the noble bondman here

It doesn't seem to have managed to pick up on rhyming couplets, though.

A quick search of Shakespeare's corpus also shows that Shakespeare never called a bondman 'noble'; there must be some conception of parts of speech being captured by the RNN, to enable it to decide that 'bondman' is a reasonable word to follow 'noble'.

So yes, "unreasonable" seems about right.
I don't think OpenCV really solved computer vision to be fair. There's definitely no model out there that can do image-based question & answering as well as a human can, or interpret the contents of an image (parse it, if you will) in an accurate way, with the exception of very few special cases.
Zero Downtime with HAProxy
Shameless plug: you may want to have a look at my library https://github.com/andreaferretti/paths-js which is made for exactly this purpose. My frustration was that D3 wants to have control over the DOM, but most frameworks let you write components in a declarative style using templates or databinding. So I started paths-js , which takes the data as input and provides an abstract description of the graph as output, that you can then use in your framework to provide rendering. One of the demos that you find on the page I linked is actually made with React
This is very clever.

Journos are - near universally - holding themselves to lower standards than we expect them to be.

At the more respectable papers and wire services, standards will be OK but with quality lower than someone well informed on the topic would be pleased with. (Time crunch, lack of experience in the topic domain, lack of access, etc)

The largest problem is that they don't correct faulty reader expectations. They're going to write authoritative articles and demand to be taken seriously even if they write for Gawker.

Blogs exist somewhere on a scale between "owned by WaPo" to "basically a tabloid that isn't printed on a broadsheet to tip you off." They generally tell themselves their standards are good enough to call themselves "Journalists" but but have glaring "It's OK if I X" holes where it actually matters for what they cover.

>"Did he? Or did he simply "lead" the people who did the actual work?"

Leading is a skill, and thus valuable, and so someone probably paid him to do the work of leading. Or are you going to just argue that "only making something of use is work". If that's the case, you obviously have a twisted world-view, and debating it is pointless with you.
