Is your contention that there's no difference in raising wages in small countries with largely centralized populations vs. a country of 320M with massive regional differences? Sweden and New York City are roughly the same size. California is quite a bit larger than Australia, so we will soon see how these experiments compare in real life.

That's an incredibly good visualization! Both beautiful and clear. Next time I'm explaining machine learning to somebody who's smart but not a computer scientist or statistician, this is where I'll start.

Do you think a future tutorial could demystify deep learning and neural networks? Many people are confused by the backpropgation algorithm, but the way it works is simple and intuitive if you can get beyond the mathematical notation. The way that errors propagate backwards through the neural network is not all that dissimilar from the data flow in your "Growing a tree" section.

There is a thin line between an autonomous agent and an autonomous weapon in long term. Unless weapons are banned for both humans and post-humans together I don't see much hope regulation will work.
When I test that, the command line does not include the variable-setting. Is this a problem that depends on version or are you mistaken?

It would be kind of weird to include that considering how argv works.

Am I the only one to find the word "Browserify" intensely annoying? Which syllable is stressed?
I love that these open letters give scientists a collective voice helping them weigh in on public debate with the media's blessing. But... saying AI is bad because they make great weapons sounds extremely naive, unless it's a declaration of collective sentiment (which is unscientific). Humans make tools, which include weapons. Unless we stop making weapons, which we are not, AI weapons will be made. And when have weapons ever been "good"? All weapons are bad so of course AI weapons are bad. Great weapons are extremely bad, which is precisely what makes them so great. I can't help but wonder if they'd have come up with something better had they received input from the historians and anthropologists regarding this point. And now this naive "scientific" argument will be used against them to tarnish the reputation of scientists and marginalize science (but only after the 28th... naive again to think they can control social media and internet time; shame on HN for "posting" this early!).

What other choice do you have? Even if you didn't have someone in the loop pulling the trigger, then you'd have a bunch of engineers (or more likely Amazon turkers) sitting back and reviewing after action video filling out precision-recall reports, that read "Misidentified school bus as troop transport at 1:37.

Perhaps there is a karmic build up of complaints that gathers over time and people end up blurting out complaints when the right circumstances allow it. Twitter is a petri dish for complaining because it is trivial to setup a vent account and just start whining. In other situations complaining is subdued for whatever reason...

Not sure you'd call any decision-making robot an AI though. Real artificial (close-to-human+) intelligence is still a separate threat.
> Doesn't every penny of "old people drugs" development come from selling drugs to old people paid solely by medicare?

I'm not sure what this statement means. Drug development costs are accrued by the company before the drug goes to market. Costs are borne by the company's investors or offset using profits from previous ventures. Some of these profits may be from drugs meant for the elderly or they may not.

> I'm just saying if you trace back where those supposed private sector $$ come from, don't almost 100% of them come from the Medicare program?

No, much of the initial development capital comes from investors or from other profits which are from many sources. If you're talking about who is paying for the drug, then you're completely forgetting about private insurance companies, which spend at least as much each year on health care costs as medicare. You're also forgetting about the entire ex-US market.

How to Monitor Room Temperature with a Raspberry Pi
I understand your perspective. I suppose the reason why I take this approach is because ordinary citizenry, with CHLs in my case, can be carrying weapons with them most of the time.

CHL holders (like myself) are armed with more knowledge in fatal use & consequences, but there's zero training to "handle stressful situations" in a professional manner, besides acting responsibly in accordance with the law.

That's probably why a lot of us in Texas opt not to be huge jerks in traffic or interpersonal situations because _you never know who's carrying_.

This mentality just naturally translates to law enforcement who _supposed_ to be trained in defusing a situation first.
You make the counter-argument that their enemies will make the same argument to their populations, which lowers the bar for armed conflict on every side, and increases the odds of war coming to your homefront.

I once met Sir Abdul Kalam at a scholarship event for only school students. I was 14 at that time and after he had given his speech he walked through the auditorium and asked "what they wanted to become?" to random kids.

I still remember to my heart when he came to me and when I replied I wanted to become a software engineer he smiled and replied "And when you become, become a good one".

Really a great loss for India.
What trips me out about this is that SPARC is one of the most open of the legacy ISA's. It doesn't have so much baggage like Intel. It's RISC. It's documented well even for firmware writers, unlike Intel's black boxes. The license to use the name cost $100 rather than ~$1 mil for MIPS or $1-15mil for ARM. The top, proprietary offerings scream with performance and reliability. There are also multiple open-source versions that can run on FPGA's and one which gets fabbed. And, unlike OpenRISC or RISC-V, you get a whole ecosystem of code and toolsbuilt for the architecture.

Now, I understand people not buying it for desktops when they want to run browsers, flash, etc. However, it's strange for a crowd (Linux in general) that's historically about promoting openness and fighting black boxes to have so little uptake of an ISA like SPARC. Then a popular one drops it due to nobody maintaining it. A demand side of the equation like that is why few companies build or open better ISA's. The vendors think most are all talk and no wallet on the issue if it's about hardware.

"Make more than a million dollars a year? 95% marginal tax rate."

Great. Then what? Everyone currently making over $1m a year will cut their salary to $1m. Then you gotta start taxing the upper middle class -- what rate do you want to tax people making over $500k? $250k? $100k? Those are the ones that will pay for this program.

As much as you want to tax "the wealthy", there really aren't enough wealthy people to pay for everything, and it comes down to how much you want to tax the moderately successful person who is trying to pay for their 2 kids' college expenses while saving to have a retirement.

> The key question for humanity today is whether to start a global AI arms race or to prevent it from starting.

Sorry but it's too late; there will always be advancements in technology especially in AI and it's going to happen. So you can either not do research in it now while someone else does (or eventually repurposes other AI research for this task) or you can do it now to better understand it, its strengths and weaknesses, etc and possible use it to intercept other AI creations.

Just like it'll never be possible to ban all guns regardless of whether it would be the wrong or right thing to do asking people not to research this is simply not going to happen.

All of the countries you list have huge costs of living. I went to Australia last year and a coke and a small bag of chips at 7-11 was ~$12.

Instead of raising minimum wage (which is a short-term bandaid, because inflation will eventually catch up), we should be focusing on educating those that can only get a minimum wage job.
That does not measure how effective that spending is, or how burdensome for the individual.

The US has higher taxes as a percentage of GDP, but we also have significantly more effective spending of said tax revenue. That lowers the 'effective burden' of that tax rate. Also, the comparative poverty of the Chinese populace makes that tax-rate significantly more painful to the people paying it.

While China has lower taxes as percent of GDP, the 'effective burden' is higher as the government provides little value to the general populace, and takes a considerable amount of their purchasing power away.

It's not a huge number of people on minimum wage that would be affected by an uplift: in the UK in 2014, there were around 1.5M minimum wage jobs, 50% of which in hospitality, cleaning and retail (so, many not full time). The average wage shift would be virtually imperceptible and the extra spending power of those on the minimum wage does not translate to measurably higher prices (in the UK the minimum wage has rarely followed average earnings, and it's difficult-almost-impossible to measure the spending of minimum wage earners separately).

I assume that TFA's comparison to the Nobels is just inaccurate.
How to stop Windows 10 from sharing your WiFi password
Using 'magic' tooling like webpack, or whatever the next overhyped tool will be, doesn't come without a cost.
Webpack is heavily opinionated.
Last time I used webpack, it wouldn't allow me to use ES6 CoffeeScript or JS code without using babel to downgrade to ES5 spec.
I tried to give it a prebuilt project as input to do its magic, and it gave me a message saying that I should use webpack in order to build the script and not feed it directly a prebuilt script for optimal results.
It worked fine but that's too opinionated for my taste.

But the point is, you need a build process when building a complex application aimed for production. You should be able to code at least a couple of npm scripts to do what you want, in case you are too bored to code a complete build process yourself.

But truth be told, if you CANNOT code a build process yourself, maybe you shouldn't be writing complex front-end applications in the first place.

You don't need to learn new terminology and configuration styles every time a new hot tool comes around. That's not your purpose, and surely it's not educational or mind expanding.

> Possibly, autonomous weapons like chemical weapons won't be important to victory, or like most biological weapons (AFAIK) they won't be cost-effective. But it's hard to imagine a human defeating a bot in a shootout; consider human stock market traders who try to compete with flash trading computers, for example. In fact, I wonder if some of the tech is the same for optimizing decision speed and accuracy.

The only way for human adversaries to fight autonomous weapons would be with brute, lethal force (nuclear/neutron weapons). It ends poorly for all involved.

Every 6 months or so I get a wild hair and look to replace Mac OS X with a new Linux laptop. It always ends in disaster because of a few sticking points. My latest attempt was with an Ubuntu-certified Dell m3800.

The 4K screen was unmanageable in Linux. Many applications required their own configuration to deal with the high DPI display. Some (most notably Skype, which I need for business) were completely unusable when you increase the font size. If I stuck to lower resolutions, it wouldn't matter I guess...

Even with a K1100 3d accelerator, it was still limited in 2d mode, unable to play 4k videos in Windows w/ all the proprietary drivers, much less 60fps videos. Linux was completely useless in that department. It wouldn't play 1440p videos fullscreen without screen tearing.

Then we get to my personal problem. I remember the learning curve when I went from Linux to Mac OS X. The keyboard was insane. WTF? Why am I using my thumb? This is so weird... foreign... But.... nice....

The idea of using my pinky for copy and paste is insane now. Having to use shift+ctrl+c to paste in a terminal? UGH. gross.

Unfortunately, changing all of the configurations isn't possible in Linux. You have to go through every application and change them individually.

I love linux. I have VMs spun up right now for development, and all of our servers run linux. I have been using linux since the 90s. I just can't give up the productivity.

Also, if you have never had to experience a full system crash / losing a laptop, good. However I had this happen, and Mac's time capsule restore was amazing. I had my entire desktop back online in a couple hours. All of my files, and all of my configurations were there. It was magical.

Why programmers don't always use calloc: good question.

Firstly, anyone who does mallocs a block, and then immediately does a memset(block, 0, size) on that block almost certainly should be using calloc. The Linux kernel has kzalloc for this purpose as an alternative to kmalloc and it's fairly widely used.

Sometimes it is inefficient to set something to zero, when that is not the true initial value (some or all of the zeros will be overwritten with the true initial value before the object is used). If you malloc some structure and then painstakingly initialize every member, then calloc is wasteful.

If you malloc some structure, and then forget to initialize some of the members, calloc will hide that bug by initializing them to all zero bits. This might not be the correct value. If the uninitialized parts of the structure aren't clobbered from zeros, you can get an accurate diagnostic about that from a tool like Valgrind. On the other hand, if you aren't using that tool, the behavior with zeros is more deterministic. E.g. if a pointer is not initialized, but overwritten with zeros, on most mainstream platforms that will be a null pointer whose dereferencing uses are detected. If you don't have such a tool available, having the uninitialized bits be all zero is arguably better.

Much of this reasoning mirrors reasoning about whether to initialize a local variable to zero, if its true initialization actually happens later.
