skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
One thing people might not realize (I'm not sure how obvious it is) is that these renders depend strongly on the statistics of the training data used for the ConvNet. In particular you're seeing a lot of dog faces because there is a large number of dog classes in the ImageNet dataset (several hundred classes out of 1000 are dogs), so the ConvNet allocates a lot of its capacity to worrying about their fine-grained features.

In particular, if you train ConvNets on other data you will get very different hallucinations. It might be interesting to train (or even fine-tune) the networks on different data and see how the results vary. For example, different medical datasets, or datasets made entirely of faces (e.g. Faces in the Wild data), galaxies, etc.

It's also possible to take Image Captioning models and use the same idea to hallucinate images that are very likely for some specific sentence. There are a lot of fun ideas to play with.
> But we soon noticed that when we would take the iPhone back, he would have a very violent negative reaction

Have you noticed this same reaction elsewhere? It sounds a lot like the one that happens when it's time to stop playing run-around-the-house-with-the-cowbell and get ready for bed. It's sort of a normal 2 year old reaction to the super-fun thing stopping. Sometimes I think his worst childhood memory will be that time he had to get off the tractor.

Product Review: AdRem Software NetCrunch 8
It's not even slightly socialist. People talk as if all government action is socialist, but socialism includes controlling the means of production not just taxes. In the end the problems with socialism are organizational in nature, and large corporations face the same issues of misaligned incentives.

Edit: A minimum wage is socialist a minimum income is not.

PS: Now you could call it collectivist.
It is very nice to have separated bike lanes, but they're of limited utility if they don't connect useful transportation endpoints (eg residential, commercial, recreational).
Employee Engagement: A Bottom-Up Approach
> Those two companies killed themselves

I disagree. You're implying that Craigslist was passive, and they were just watching from the sidelines. They weren't. They sued.

> building their entire business off of data that the didn't have the right to use.

This is our main point of contention, and we'll probably just agree to disagree.

> It may be that your personal opinion is that once a piece of text is on the internet, it's fair game to use.

imo it depends on how you use it. Unless I misunderstood something, if we had it your way we wouldn't even be able to write wikipedia articles based on data gleaned from online content even with attribution unless the owner gives permission
I was already slightly concerned about using getting a .cc domain for my email address, due to it being a 'lesser' TLD and thinking this sort of thing might happen. Are there ways to mitigate this risk in general, or is it something we generally have to accept if we're not choosing .com domains?

The Friedman negative income tax would surely be better than the complicated patchwork of taxes and welfare programs modern countries have today, if only for its simplicity.

I would not mind seeing an experiment in putting everyone on a BI and then taxing at a flat rate like that. What makes the welfare we know so terrible is that for all its good intentions, it works out to a system that pays people to do those things that keep them poor in the first place.
The world is spiraling on itself so much it's crazy. Accepting it is one big step toward happiness.

Talking about old terminals. I worked at a tax office, around 2005, the web was getting trendy, so old AS400 applications were on the way out. I had to use them just before they were replaced by whatever webapp was coming. It was one of the best user experience I had. That old system was so on-point. It's funny because AFAIK terminal code had close to no structure, it parsed fixed patterns on screen buffers, pretty archaic. But, the software was hyper ergonomic, responsive, simple and solid. It did infer/complete lots of fields, find non trivial issues and suggest corrections. I could barely imagine the amount of regression that were about to hit the employees when the html/js version would land, it did make me really sad.

One way to turn a crappy bomb into a really powerful one is to constrain it in something that can be fractured.

There are 'blast blankets' used in demolition and highway construction that are balasted but still open enough that the explosion itself can vent. Basically the effect is to reduce the slope of the build-up of pressure which significantly reduces the amount of damage an explosion will do.
The xAuth authentication method is suspect as well:

xAuth provides a way for desktop and mobile
applications to exchange a username and password for
an OAuth access token. Once the access token is
retrieved, xAuth-enabled developers should dispose of
the login and password corresponding to the user.

https://dev.twitter.com/oauth/xauth

Asking users to trust third parties with the access details to your application? Sure they "review" the API token requests but who knows what that means.

Reading the page there seems to be a lot of talk about "keeping it simple" as if using the HTTP protocol is hard and confusing for developers. This is a bad sign, if they don't understand or care to understand something simple what are their security practices like?
I completely agree. Keep original unminified versions of all of your resources, and do the optimizations as part of a build process, so your production visitors are getting the smaller version

So sue on that basis, not on accessing the website.

I think most of us are not so unhappy about the suing, although we may disagree with it. We're very unhappy about using CFAA, which passes the line into criminal penalties. So we're talking about initiating a process against someone who scraped your site that could land them in jail.

No one's arguing that only a small percentage of people are geared toward pursuing high risk/high cost opportunities. But it's not really relevant to the idea of basic income or an indictment of the majority.

The vast majority are happiest when they are doing meaningful work, not by sitting on the couch and eating ice cream while being void of engaging work. This is true for people of all walks of life, the super bright, the super disciplined, the super motivated as well as the other end and everything in between. The concept of basic income would free people to pursue engaging work. Meaningful work does not have to come in the form of trying to cure diseases or build sky scrapers, or start a tech company.

Meaningful work is abundant and not limited by the arbitrary limitations created by a material-consumption-based society what was ushered in by the industrial age, which for the the majority has dictated what is economically viable to make a living. Meaningful work can come in the form of volunteering, gardening, looking after elders, helping the environment, creating beautiful neighbourhoods, social support, skilled crafts, the list is endless and not limited to people with above average intelligence or motivation. Right now these types of endeavours are not economically sustaining for people to focus on.

Given that technology will drastically cut down the amount of jobs required it is beyond obvious that the current orthodoxy just isn't applicable in tomorrow's world. It is obvious today and it's only get worse tomorrow. Autonomous cars and trucks alone will kill millions of jobs, how do these people find economically viable jobs? Office jobs will decline at an exponential pace, because there will be no economically viable reason to employ people for work that is done more efficiently by software.

Given that we can actually sustain billions of people's material needs with most of the work being done by our tools, rather than people, it is complete lunacy to handicap the population by limiting it because the majority won't actually be able to find economically viable work according to yesterday's economy. It is also completely arbitrary. The conditions have changed dramatically and the sooner we adjust the system to fit the new conditions, the better.

Cynical me would say it was used a lot at first, but then ASCII became something of the past, and some company doing data work started using commas, it got trendy and ASCII RS went into the closet.

Wikipedia suggest CSV was already around at the time of punched cards, I guess people would prefer commas over some obscure RS code.

I'm in the middle of reading Thinking, Fast And Slow and at least some of the research that he talks about in there suggests that this isn't always how the brain actually works. By forcing people to concentrate on one thing, it can (at least in some circumstances) increase how much they concentrate on other things.

The example he used was the sort of problem where there's a obvious, but wrong, answer to a problem (e.g. "If a bat and ball cost £1.10, and the bat is £1 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost", to which a lot of people instinctively answer 10p - using what he refers to as "System 1 thinking"). These sorts of question were presented to two groups of people, one with the questions clearly printed and one with the questions badly printed in very light colours, requiring the readers to concentrate to be able to even read the questions.

The surprising result was that people in the latter group did significantly better on average than those in the former, suggesting that because they are forced to start using the more conscious, and more conscientious, "System 2 thinking" to be able to read the questions, they are primed to use that sort of thinking on actually answering the question.

This isn't always true though - if you're already concentrating heavily on something, then introducing another problem that requires a lot of concentration, you will stop concentrating on the first issue.

So, introducing something that forces your brain into a low-level System 2 mindset (such as slightly wonky offices) might be a good way of reducing the number of "obvious but wrong" decisions being made, but wouldn't be a good way of improving problem solving for tasks where people are already concentrating on the problem.

Yeah $(boot2docker shellinit) is a bit annoying but I use tmuxinator which does it for me with `pre: boot2docker up && $(boot2docker shellinit);`. You could also add it to your .bashrc/.zshrc.

For automated tests, I simply have a test service which I start with `docker-compose up test` and I can link services my tests need from inside `docker-compose.yml`.

For manual testing, I added `192.168.59.103 docker` to my `/etc/hosts` file (the boot2docker IP doesn't seem to change) and expose ports on the boot2docker VM though that means I can't test two containers which expose the same port simultaneously.

As discussed above, funding for UBI can be mostly reassigned from existing welfare & pension budgets.

Demand for basic food and shelter is more or less a constant (unless you can argue otherwise), regardless of people's income, so as I see, prices for non-luxurious items could stay about the same under UBI.

It's a simplistic overview and there are tons of important factors e.g. farming subsidies or migrations, but in general UBI makes a lot of sense.
There is more than one way to do this and jail per application is one of then. May be not most popular, but often used.
"So, maybe people who have awesome jobs will just keep doing what they're doing, but for people with shitty jobs, why not say, "F* it, I can get by with the guaranteed minimum, so why bother?""

That'd be a good thing. People leave the bad jobs behind, which would either free up room to automate them without social consequences, or the job would have to be made more attractive in some way (shared between multiple people for less stress, better pay, etc...).

And even if your dim view of people is true - that all but a minority of people are so lazy they would all just sit on the couch and do nothing - it would not matter.

"How could things like democracy, philosophy, mathematics, etc. flourish in an unstable environment?"

Greeks had a developed (and wide available) writing system, Greeks had a not-so-restrictive religion, and (perhaps most importantly) - Greeks had a great economical advantage over a lot of other people around them. Yes, Greeks were good warriors, but they liked very much to just use others (mostly as mercenaries) in order to solve things, and trowed themselves in battles only as a last resort (like when the Greek cities fought among themselves and persuading others to join them was somewhat difficult). Greeks had a very large network of economic centers and all that value of connecting cheap worlds was primarily theirs. The flourishing of the arts and science was just a result of the general wealth flowing all around - life was cheaper and easier compared to other places, so what the average ἀνήρ was supposed to do with their spare energy? (Hint: connecting the dots here and there, just the way Greeks as a people used to do all the time.)

Of course all little kids get upset sometimes. What I am saying is that we felt a qualitative/fundamental difference in those kinds of negative reactions, and the frequency of that kind of reaction, when the iPhone/iPad was involved as compared to say, blocks or legos or Brio trains.

We have never seen our own very young child (or his playmates) have the degree of adverse reaction to stopping legos as they do with electronics. And we have never seen them work themselves into the same kind of a fit playing with blocks -- that usually just kind of peters out when they get bored, and they don't end up stacking and stacking and stacking and stacking blocks until they are half-hysterical.

I think for a five-year-old, the iPad might well be the same as any other toy in that way. But I don't think so in the case of two-year-olds (at least, not with the dozens of two-year-olds I know).
