Another nice feature on top of this type of setup is to set up CI hooks on your repo to check for broken links on every push, e.g. with https://github.com/gjtorikian/html-proofer . Example: https://github.com

Is this derived from http://hint.fm/wind/ ? Also, does anyone know how that elbow in the path forecast comes about? Is there something magical about the waist of Cuba that suddenly makes it turn north?

This looks promising. I'm currently in Denmark and they have this inane two-factor authentication system for all (e.g. banks and not just public) services that uses physical printed cards with 150 codes each; when you are close to usin

TL;DR version: Taser claims its guns are safe and do not cause lethal injuries, marketing them as such. Deaths related to Taser usage are typically attributed to "excited delirium" through a complex web of relationships between th

Couldn't beaming heat into space also buffer against global warming, as long as the amount of heat transmitted > the energy spent to beam it? Especially if we use renewable energy.

You must be thinking of http://moralmachine.mit.edu/ But in practice, this is more a study of people's ethical tendencies around the world than a practical way to address AI decision-making in bad situations.

Humans are just a lot better conditioned to respond to short-term stimuli than long-term goals. Maybe it's a product of our evolutionary history (avoiding predators, making sure we are fed) but it sure doesn't work well at global,

Most cellular automata simulators are on a square grid, but that lizard's scales are on a hexagonal one. I wonder if that arrangement makes it easier to produce recurrent local patterns. Does anyone know if there is a cellular automata

I've experienced so much downtime and other random outages with GitLab that I would probably just go to GitHub if I was going to pay for something.

If this is Twitter's new "PR management" service, I guess they're in for a whole new level of Streisand effect.

Can you tell us a little more about the qualifications you have for teaching such a class?

Those restrictions on computing power (25 TFLOPS of CPU) for your CFD simulation cluster seem rather esoteric when it comes to racing cars...those hundreds of pages of regulations must be ridiculous to comply with.

Welp, seems like a massive Streisand effect ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect ) going on here. Really torpedoeing their reviews... https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/reviews/B01K

Yep, cloud-based deep learning bla bla bla. There is an actual reason to use the cloud for apps like this: there is enough data to power the machine learning algorithms at scale. Although I'm a hardware hacker I know I'd never be

Given the reproducibility crisis in science (esp. in fields like psychology, where an estimated two-thirds of papers aren't replicable), it's good to be skeptical of new work instead of saying "scientists showed this! now let

Your experiment depends on the way your scale defines "1", "2", and "kg", and can't be used to test this.

Another way to learn is to work for a great manager and pay attention, or work for a crappy manager and see the consequences of mistakes. The latter is painful, but also more instructive than the former.

Data is already available at https://osf.io/64z8u/ . Full qualitative survey data will be available soon; but for now take a look at the supplementary materials. If your opponent is going to defect at some point anyway,

The n-player PD is also known as the public goods game, and is used to study cooperation as well. Another meta-conclusion I would draw from our paper is that current game theory is insufficient to explain what we observe in real life, inclu

I've read some of Haidt's work but not that one in particular. Thanks for the pointer.

First, hat tip to you for getting to those questions. Usually no one looks at the supplementary material at all. So the cooperators' strategy looks like tit-for-tat, but I don't think it really is because tit for tat means if some

It was not obvious that resilient cooperative players even existed before we conducted this experiment. Now it's obvious, because we run into nice, prosocial people and of course they fit the profile.

Yes, in our paper, we identified the "nice" group versus the other group. The nice group is significantly worse off, but (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13509853 ) still better off than they would be in t
