If you care about context, I shall remind you that the original question was:

"Are we sure what is being simulated here is cognitive? It seems to me merely mechanical."

This is analogous to asking "are you sure this is done by humans rather than animals?" The question makes sense and is valid. To answer it with "humans are merely animals" would not address the subject at hand and, again, would have specific connotations.

I see that this kind of semantic acrobatics is extremely common in discussions of AI on HN.
Is it Angular really any different with the way it includes logic in templates? At least in React they're grouped together.

My storage solution is Blue-ray discs + External HDD + AWS Glacier. Once I use the RAW files, I rarely need them, that's why I store them in Blue-ray discs as a backup.

I'm conflicted on the VCS. It seems powerful, but the "bag of changesets" (instead of linear chain of changesets) model gives me issues when performing operations that I would commonly do on my git repos. In scripts I have written, I've encountered two changesets on the same stream occurring on the same second and accepted them individually in an incorrect order, which put the workspace in a screwy state.

(Also hitting the server for every little operation kills me. Even the command line tool just communicates to a java daemon to go hit the server, arrrrrgh.)

Elasticsearch is pretty hefty to run in a basic configuration. Our pricing is a function of the resources we assign to cluster nodes, and a bare minimum Elasticsearch installation needs substantially more power than most non-JVM databases.
My workflow after a photo session is:

* Quickly scan pics and delete anything that is flat out bad. I try to get these on the spot, but some slip through.

* Go through again and rate.

* Go through again and adjust ratings further.

* Post process the 5 stars, and put them up to view.

* Everything else is saved through an offline backup service.

I find that the 5 star pics end up being great covers into an event. Often the 5 star pics are good enough, but sometimes they draw me in the look at the rest. The only downside is you have to be ruthless with your ratings.
Clearly, but why do married people get any benefit that people who are not don't have? Isn't that in and of itself discriminatory? Isn't the government defacto promoting region in general by giving tax breaks to people who choose to contract with each other in such a manner?
It's a bit rarer for an airport to fail a fire inspection 4 weeks before planned opening and then sit empty for years and billions in fixes.
Kamcord (YC S12) launches live streaming for mobile games
I stumbled over it last week. Being in Germany I prever legal ways to watch it and ended up on Amazon.
After watching the first episode I was so hooked that I bought all 4 available Episodes and had a long night. Now I am waiting for the 5th to show up but Amazon does not give a hint when it will be availabe.

I left PAM sites out of the blog post (it's actually mentioned briefly in the footnotes), as it made the problem slightly more complicated.

The final algorithm actually keeps track of the last 20 bases + PAM length, and checks both the edit distance and PAM before deciding if something is a match. The Benchling CRISPR tool will do this for you :)

That's an unfounded presumption.

It's like, nobody has considered that advanced life might not even feel a need to live on planets at all. It's expensive to get resources from, and there's a near limitless supply of easy to get smaller debris.

Additionally, the difference a 2 billion year head start could make is hard to imagine. One thing that's not hard to imagine is that they don't live in meat bodies for most of that time. They could easily be machines or virtual, and then would look and act nothing like anything we're looking for.

I don't understand why the state funds airports. If people want airports, there is a demand, and that demand is either big enough to fund an airport and is satisfied, or it isn't because people don't want to spend that kind of money. Seems to me like something the state shouldn't be involved in.
Aside from the airport, I don't think Berlin is worse than any other major city. There are huge construction debacles for various reasons everywhere.
Seconding the IPython Notebook. I've used matplotlib but also like Plot.ly for its prettier, more sharable charts.

It's also not a huge amount of work to set up a JSON-Flask-D3 visualisation pipeline out of test data; that's exactly what I did for my current data project, using cubism.js to easily visualise a time series. Again, benefits are the ability to easily share.

Also, sometimes, Google Spreadsheets/Excel can be the easiest solution to throw up quickly - or using built-in data explorations in RStudio. I've also thrown graph data into Neo4j because it gives you a nice visual interface for free.
Flip side is that you're less diversified and if you lose an enterprise client you feel it hard. There's more stability with lots of small users if you can make it work.
And if so, I can assure the consumer version is far and away better than the DK2, as is the HTC Vive. I haven't tried Oculus's motion controllers yet, but the Vive dev kit controllers are amazing already.

I've tried thinking about how virtual meetings would work, but to me it seems to be flawed. Virtual reality allows us to view a 3D environment as if we are there, but how would we capture that 3D environment to begin with? Is there technology that allows us to capture not just 3D, but 3D from all angles? I expect that for "presence" to work, when you move your head, the perspective that the camera sees (on the other end) would need to change, and I can't imagine how this would be achieved.
I think you're exaggerating the scope of the changes in the fast food industry. There are very few Five Guys and In-n-Out locations compared to the big fast food chains, whose prices remain very competitive, and whose food remains pretty crappy. Don't worry; you can still buy really cheap, unhealthy food all over the nation.
There are a lot of unanswered questions in there, though. If I'm sat in a living room with my loved ones, what am I looking at? A live 3D video of them? What is capturing that video? Will I see them wearing a headset? Because that's going to look pretty bad.

Something I think people often forget about VR - it's going to be really weird to be totally disconnected from the environment around you. If you're plugged into a meeting and your kid runs into the room to get your attention, how will they do it? Probably by poking you, scaring the bejesus out of you.

I just don't buy the idea that VR will make our lives more "real". It'll lead to living in weird bubbles.
Great, so reduce the time estimate by an order of magnitude. Now you're only wasting 19 human lifetimes per update. Hooray?
Actually, MVC is called ASP.NET MVC. And at this point, it is very far from a Rails clone.

Synology is great. I have a DS-215j, and it handles everything I need much more smoothly than my old NAS. And since their OS is shared across their whole product line, you get access to all the enterprise-level features of their big units, and you don't have to worry about your device getting abandoned six months after you buy it.
If you actually mount it as ext4 and enable the new features, yes. However, if you mount ext2 or ext3 using the ext2/3 implementation in the ext4 driver, that doesn't break backward compatibility with ext2/3.
I've often wanted to build a cmdline tool that would read from stdin and popup a live interactive chart of the values. This would make debugging/understanding complicated data-dependent algorithms possible by just adding some printf style logging.
Indeed, I still use an aging 2008 Mac Pro and the benefits of internal storage are pretty profound. I have two Time Machine HDDs (An Internal + an External), which counts for two of my six HDDs. I'm debating going towards a service like blackblaze as I have a decade of photos on my computer.

There's been some nifty work done on the practicality of electrodynamic tethers and using them to turn a starship against the galactic magnetic field. You won't get sci-fi ship maneuverability out of this, but it's useful for course corrections without having to carry or expend reaction mass.

As far as onboard power sources go, fission seems perfectly cromulent. You just have to protect those radiators.
I agree 100%. Printing your photos really helps elicit a more visceral response. That said, what is mpix? I looked at it, but it wanted me to go through an approval process to create and account to see the prices.
Also: the aWatch is cheaper than either the iPhone or the iPad was at launch (both cost $500 for the cheapest model, as opposed to $350 for the watch).
I would never invest in a tech company that had more non-engineers then engineers. Especially if they didn't have a ready product.

My experience with such companies is that their focus is on office decoration, rather then the product.

If you are not the engineer type, make sure you hire three of those to make up for it. :P
Not gonna lie, classes, destructing, TCO, and all these "engineering optimizations" are great... but what JS really, really, really needs is some sort of way to declare decorator macros. A great use case for these macros (especially in the browser) is in dealing with those god-awful deprecation warnings any given big-enough framework will eventually start spitting out after enough usage.

Right now, framework developers use console.warn which, as a function, is usually buried in the framework, and so gives stack-traces that are entirely useless to a developer using said framework (especially if the framework wraps console.warn in some way). A good clean way of declaring macros will allow JS frameworks to not be cancerous to maintain by making the stack-trace for deprecated user-code very easy to spot and correct.

And unlike features such as classes, generators, symbols, and even TCO that are reasonably achievable through clever engineering, macros flat-out have to be special-formed in. But their utility in making JS a much more maintainer-friendly language would go a long way to reducing the misery of us plebeian js users.
Most of this discussion is beyond me, so I won't speculate on his intent, but occultation is a real thing too.

Culling is an important part of the photographic process. However, far be it from me to tell another photographer what they should and shouldn't keep. We all have our quirks. Good luck convincing me to delete even a blurry photo of my daughter :) Storage is still a huge problem for photographers. There has got to be a better/easier solution than even this process. It's still outside the realm of a lot of photographers' skillsets.

The Supreme Court found this in Everson Vs. Board Of Education: “The establishment of religion clause means at least this: Neither a state nor the federal government may set up a church. Neither can pass laws that aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another."

'aid all religions' is the key point and is consistent with my reading. By applying that same logic you are forced to come to the conclusion that by having a government sanctioned marriage, and by giving tax benefits among others with said marriage. You are aiding a religion and thus it is unconstitutional.
The theory that is taken out of the drawer in such occasions is that the airport will have "a positive economical impact on the whole region, so the calculation isn't that simple". Sometimes it works, but in most cases it doesn't.

It's a Faustian bargain. It blesses Javascript with a wider audience, less initial balking by new JS programmers, and a few characters for established JS programmers. But it does so by deliberately misleading programmers by naming the syntax to be the same as the thing they think they want, but JS doesn't contain. That seems like a dick move that condemns a whole slew of new developers to permanent misunderstanding of what they're writing, and a fundamental lack of clarity on prototypical inheritance.

I will use it. Because syntactic sugar in this case does save some work. But I'm very conscious the code has swapped superficial clarity for deep lies.

I suspect Stack Overflow will overflow with even more 'javascript OO is broken' questions and the MDN article won't make more than a dent on clearing up that (deliberate) confusion.

I agree with Crockford on this.

Why Captain Kirk would make a terrible president
The TLDR intuition of a change of basis is this: you have a vector of length L that points from the origin up towards the z-axis. If you'd like to rotate your perpendicular measuring sticks like x->x', y->y' and z->z' (ie, rotate your coordinate system, maintaining perpendicular-ness and vector length), then you've changed your basis. Say you rotate your coordinate system 90 degrees about the y-axis, now your vector points in the new x-direction (so x-> -z, y->y and z->x, and your vector is (1,0,0) instead of (0,0,1)).

You can do that with a matrix operation (M*v = v'):

[0 0 1]___[0__ __[1

[0 1 0]___0__=__0

[-1 0 0]__1]__ __0]

In fact, this matrix rotates any vector 90 degrees about the y-axis.

Basis vectors can also be more abstract than that. For instance, they're useful in quantum mechanics for simplifying the schroedinger eq (sometimes from a second order diff eq to a first order one) by changing from a position basis to a momentum basis, in effect rewriting your derivatives from a different point of view.
Or you could leave it in the cloud where it already is and not transfer it to Google's cloud. I wasn't suggesting building your own...

At Learn Immersive [1], we are bringing VR to education, specifically for language learners. It's incredible what effects VR has on learning and training.

In contrast, VR will definitely be used for porn. If anything, that's where most of the content outside of gaming is being created right now.

I'm 100% confident VR will be at the top of many consumer's Xmas lists next year and the following. It will start with gamers, then trickle into more consumer-y use cases like education and porn.

I apologize for the juxtaposition there. I'm one of the few who has tried Vive and other tracked-remote solutions, and these are what make VR most compelling (not the headset itself). Until you try these, I'd hold off on having a strong opinion.

If "the calculation isn't that simple" how come the politicians think they can figure out the solution, but the collective hivemind of demand and offer by literally all participants of the economy cannot?
The formula/collusion ratio is exponential, but not factorial. The implementation however is very efficient: instead of applying the algorithm on the complete dataset of users, we apply it to each group of users within a post. This drastically reduces the running time.

The implementation goes over every post and computes the ratio for voters within that post. It then removes one user from that group and recalculates the ratio. If the ratio drops, it brings that user back in. If it increases, it keeps them out.

You can check the implementation here (click on Edit Algorithm):
https://algorithmia.com/algorithms/ANaimi/SimpleVoteRingDete...

Running SimpleVoteRingDetection on the complete Product Hunt dataset (16k+ posts, 52k+ users) takes a few seconds. If you have a dataset for any other website/application, you can easily feed it into the algorithm and experiment with that.

The article is talking about revenue runs whereas the kind of movements you're talking about are non-revenue runs (or deadheading). On non-revenue runs, there's no need to provide service, unlike these ghost trains, where service still needs to be provided even if there is little or no uptake.
In general, you're correct about the difference being social, nt one of licencing. You're wrong on one thing: Microsoft's .NET 1.0 CLR and compilers were also free from day one. You never HAD to use VS to develop with .NET, any more than you HAD to use NetBeans or Eclipse to develop with Java.

It feels extremely frustrating to know -- not just wonder but to know exactly where -- that there are planets similar to our own, which have a very high probability of harboring life, yet to be condemned to never be able to take a really close look at it.

I don't think that you can correlate number of accounts vs security awareness of the user.

Some users may be social butterflies, and some may be hermits. Independent of their level-of-security-awareness.
This is the wrong objection. If only 10% of users lose 5 minutes each, that's... 19 lifetimes' worth of man-hours, which is still excessive. The real reason for not doing rebootless updates is that they're hard to implement, and hard to implement in such a way that they create a risk of problems much bigger than losing 5 minutes (like data loss or security vulns staying open).
Once again, it will be easier to bring people to the data, than data to people.

I also use smugmug, and hope it's ok to mention my open-source command line tool for syncing with SmugMug, smugline[0].

That being said, I'm not 100% sure I would recommend them. They do some odd things to images you upload, and more so with videos, where I think they won't store the original version for you, but a processed version. As an example (perhaps related to the syncing functions I need), SmugMug will auto-rotate images based on EXIF data. This is ok most of the time, but it screws up with things like MD5 hashes so hard to detect duplicates.

If only there was a tool or service they could use that could monitor log files for signs of problems. (I couldn't resist being a little snarky, the situation seems so perfect.)

All kidding aside, kudos to Sentry for being so candid publicly about their problems. We've seen so many companies avoid providing any technical information. About the best we'll hear in some of these is that the problem was "not terrorism related".

It would be cool to at least check the claimed flag manifold relationship.

The quark thing seems on the giggle side of unlikely though. I could see a route to electromagnetic quantum biology, since there is some evidence for that in other contexts, but quark interactions seem fairly remote from any known biological mechanisms.

Also should the flag manifold connection be correct, sensitivity to quark interactions is not required for bee neurons to construct a flag manifold, any more than it is for humans. Bees would have presumably just hit on this maths during evolution of their neural structures, rather than during time spent staring at a chalkboard.
I'm curious why active plate tectonics makes the planet more interesting. Do those contribute to the "liveability" of a planet in some way?
