WolframAlpha is using data from 2014. Given that Russia's economy nearly halved in 2015 that makes the original statement probably true by now.

It sounds like you're describing Flow (as defined by the book [1]; not popular culture.) For me that does indeed seem to be the most common denominator of 'proper' happiness. [1] https://www.goodreads.com/book

But for that technology to work you have to re-encode the source stream for every desired bandwidth range which is not exactly cheap [1] [1] https://zencoder.com/en/file-transcoding/pricing

I really enjoyed the article but I hope that the conclusion is that it's now possible to live in a bubble (not meant pejoratively) where you don't experience sexism. Being able to live in that bubble is probably dependent on class

I think Claim 1 is actually more about determinism; that if by knowing all the inputs you can reliably get the same outputs what you have isn't consciousness. Neural nets are somewhat starting to escape that dynamic but there still isn

I honestly don't see how that's any different from the age-old "tabloid" papers (like Telegraaf for example.)

How will it not be effective? When I read an article on Blendle (Dutchie here) I don't like or think is worth its money I ask for a refund. They even ask you when you're asking for a refund so they know if the price is too high, a

I found Build Your Own Angular [1] gave me the most understanding in the least amount of time. It's geared more towards understanding (and Angular 1 not 2) and not so much towards building stuff though so YMMV. [1] http://te

Ah okay. I meant 'bluff' in the sense that there's no objective value here so any discussion over created value is basically just a matter of opinion/gut feeling/confidence. For me it was basically just a metaphor

Or more generally: You currently have a share in the company which you want to sell. Without real revenue the company's value is almost entirely subjective. The right price then is basically what you can convince your partner to pay yo

Regular neural networks were popular until they stopped delivering best-in-class results for a lot of problems. Recent hardware made it possible to train more layers and they're now getting cutting-edge results in many areas again so t

Amen; I'm still flabbergasted by programmers not acknowledging that it's entirely possible to create a programming language which embeds our concept of privacy in cryptographic reality. All you would need for this is to model ea

No particular tips on how to do it; but at least make sure you don't put too many in serial if you're at all concerned about fire safety. My father was once involved in a big lawsuit over fires caused by faulty junction boxes and

The Eurozone isn't necessarily that bad. The main thing is that you can't tax by printing currency anymore which is a really easy way to levy taxes. That means you have to have an efficient taxation apparatus, tax the rich and p

That actually leads to a very interesting point; would self driving cars be vulnerable to adversarial imagery? Neural nets are well known for being easily fooled [1] ... I wonder if you could create similar situations for self-driving cars.

Can confirm. There's nothing special about the ASML case. There are a few exceptions in Dutch IT but, unsurprisingly, they are mostly staffed with internationals.

I couldn't agree more. Another thing to keep in mind is that it can be really hard to continue pulling off the confidence game you need when you're being groped and propositioned. What I'm wondering about most though is how Y

If I understand it correctly it's like Typed Racket with a purely functional AST which is also a content-addressable Merkle-tree and a UI with paredit-style type correctness.
