It was the right decision, @alyson-cabral. The major market is linux-based, correct? There are better uses of company assets, than trying to chase the less-than-0.06% of holdouts that operate Solaris. As a person of science, I've used

Has anyone watched the live entry of the US mirv's launched from one of our subs to the range of 4k miles? The warheads enter and hit the intended targets within 100m. US ICBMs eliminate guidance error using multiple methods, some of w

Does it scare anyone else that groups that aren't illegal are being censored for their (utterly repulsive) principals? Where do we draw the line? Personally, I don't want to enable bad people e.g. _real_ nazis (calling someone a n

IMHO HN is getting saturated with these articles. It's all good, I know that's it's a popular subject. So, just and observation.

Sincerely hope that people are paying attention. The SEC is as omnipotent as the IRS, in so much as they can make your life a living hell... in very short order. Recommend that people register their securities or currencies with them... bes

Good point DamVigilante. We trained the model using hundreds of human-scored essays. They were all double or triple scored, to validate IRR. I think that's why the model is performing so well. But, there is always room for improvement!

I hear you WoodenChair. For this particular task, the stakes are very low (really, zero). The model agrees with our human graders, quite well. In fact, statistically speaking, the machine scoring is actually tightly correlated to the highes

Brilliant article. Whatever versioning schema that you use, you should at least start with _something_ at the outset of an application IMO

I'm pretty excited about this... at work, we are using machine learning to train models that allow us to automate the process of grading student essays. The product is called LightSide. I hope to apply my learning from the class to imp

I wish I could mod-down Backpropaganda.... Your blather provides the perfect example of what the author is trying to elucidate upon.

It would be healthy for HN moderators to ingest this article. Even well mannered and well intended messages that do not necessarily agree with progressive dogma, are consistently down-modded. That's a shame.

Ask HN: Who can moderate comments downward, and why do they do so?

I disagree, due to the not-so-coincidental timing of the introduction of hybrids and all-electrics, to coincide with augmentation of the CAFE standard, implementation of incentives for production and consumer purchase of said vehicles, etc

The federal government does not directly subsidize fossil fuel production, distribution or consumption. The government allows for losses, due to failed exploration. Not every well that you drill, brings in oil; or brings in sufficient oil t

And I get modded down, why? Because these comments do not reflect a purely progressive viewpoint? You should reconsider whom are allowed to moderate these forums.

Personally, this could be a real problem, if Ad services decide to pry open the doors on our ability to deny them our screen real estate. I block Ads, primarily due to the fact that I don't want my web surfing history and behaviors cap

The Economist article fails to mention that electrical vehicles are massively subsidized by governments. The production and adoption of electrical vehicles would not exist, but for these http://dailycaller.com/2015/08&#

I was only making an honest observation. It's amazing that, whenever one makes an observation that could be construed as detracting, your observation gets moderated downward. That's sad. Anyway, audited the first class and think i

Agreed with Aphextron. This is old, stale news. Until someone gets one of these "promising technologies" into production, I'm not going to read about "new batteries." Information, like this, has been circulating for

As a project management professional, I have to wonder why these project so-often fail to meet their objectives of cost, scope, and schedule? It makes you think that there have been so few of these projects, in the past 40 years, that any &
