I think that the major problem with CV is that it only recognizes images in isolation from each-other. Humans understand what they are looking at by finding the concept that lies at the intersection of all the small ideas in the image. For example, a human would recognize a keyboard because it contains a "means of input" on which there are "symbols" specifically the "alphabet", arranged in a "logical format"("QWERTYUIOP") which they know is the sign of a keyboard. If a human were to see a keybaord that looks different from most, they can still make the inference that it is a keyboard by understanding the underlying concepts of what they see.

On the other hand, a computer mechanically relates the specific format of a keyboard to the word "keyboard." It fuzzy matches the pixels of images to extract the object in the image: not the individual ideas implicit in the image.

Computer Vision needs more depth to actually be considered vision.
If you hover over it, it tells you exactly what it does.
Looks plausible. Do you know the language and read what it says? If yes, that would be conclusive.

Social Networks discover teeth day after they see all congressional committees that oversee them will be chaired by democrats.
> At some point in a long living project, you have to declare some bugs are #wontfix.

The hell you do. If it was worth reporting it is worth fixing. Bugs are symptoms of underlying trouble and if you care about your product and about your users you fix them.

If you don't users will stop reporting bugs, you product will remain buggy and eventually users will move to other, less buggy products. Fix your bugs.
Note that this requires a clean-room process - reading the original source code as inspiration usually taints any work derived from the observations.

This is why open source developers actively avoid reading leaked sources from proprietary projects for example. "open source" code with too restrictive licenses is no different from closed source code.
Quicksy is a decent jump from WhatsApp to XMPP for Android users (based on Conversations, but with contact discovery). For iOS there's Siskin or Monal.

XMPP has a wide and diverse ecosystem. I am working on curating a suite of XMPP software (a server you can self-host, and an app for each major platform) to produce a single tightly integrated "XMPP package": https://snikket.org/ (and https://snikket.org/about/goals/ for an idea of current progress).
Then how else do you validate the identity of the voter? What do you gain if you can't prevent fraud by inserting fake votes?
I bet you would find 'similar' results in very different domains.
Like fewer work accidents on construction sites when the foreman is absent, less casualties among soldiers while the commander is sleeping, etcetera.
If that's the case, then most Nobel prize winning work is done before 29, or so goes the anecdote.

At least for me, option-m is the µ key.
The better ad networks ban auto play audio. Unfortunately, what ad networks are being used on a given page can change frequently, as publishers shift between what ads they show based on who is bidding highest.

There are advertising standards boards that recommend against these kinds of ads, but unfortunately, not enough publishers take them seriously.
This isn't criticism, just curiosity: do you feel guilty when you pay someone to cut your hair or dispose of your garbage (assuming the latter service isn't included in your housing... that varies, of course).

Those are both things that would have been done by servants in the past, but that most people still have done today rather than doing themselves.

One advantage of having a buzz cut is that it's easy to cut my own hair, but when I had another hair style I didn't feel guilty about getting it cut. I hated that it consumed my time, but that's another thing.
yeah, the way it is written, it feels like clickbait
It's a rumor at this point [1] but if they completely kill small screen phones on the next release I'll eat my hat. Since the 6 came out, I've noticed that smaller people of either gender really prefer the smaller screen size. There's a gigantic market for the 4" screen, Apple already has support for it in their OS, and they're not the type to throw away billions that people are offering them for this size of device.

There is somewhere a compiler that outputs to all sorts of crazy languages including awk, sed, printf, etc.. but I can't find it right now. Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.

I feel like it did LLVM IR to a bunch of languages or something like that.. but my memory is faulty.
> The problem with your tool is anyone who will find this useful can also just solve this problem with JavaScript.

Well yeah, though they won't do it as fast. Having a live repl, and packaged charts should make it at least 10x faster.

Well, you’re missing out on free marketing by not having your app listed here and now. (https://www.jigdev.com/)
I'm not sure if this is satire or not, but certainly the single worst case of using a terminal is file manipulation. Nothing will ever beat the right-clicks or Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V combos. It's just more natural to "see" things that you move.

Now when it comes to more complex applications, I'd stop using the CLI if I had to search the manpages or the internet each time for doing something I already did previously.
Since I discovered the Ctrl+R shortcut (for searching your history), it has been much easier. You read the manpage once, maybe you do an internet search, you enter the command and then you can find it back as long as it's still in your bash history (be sure to set HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE to correct values). I also have a DOCS.txt file where I put all the rare but useful commands I'm afraid of losing. I don't need to be an expert in ffmpeg's options (... though I sort of am now), I can just look at my history or my DOCS.txt file!
Hmm.. I am looking for a backend developer. Don't care where you are in the world. The job is really vague at the moment as I work through it and the pay would be low as I'm starting out. Sounds almost like a good fit. What's the best way to get in contact with you?
You landing lacks a concise paragraph about your tool, I don't see documentation, and I see others commenting they didn't understand anything when they downloaded your tool.

You should assume that people is tired and has not much brainpower left to understand anything new and complex.
Transformers, which are currently waging a successful campaign to conquer all Deep Learning, are largely stacked feed-forward networks, matrix multiplies and maps. Some ideas to make attention more scalable, such as LSH or large sparse attention matrices seem like they'd be well suited to this approach.

Their approach should also be readily adaptable to RNNs, including LTSMs.

Certainly worth investigating as an alternative for efficiently running and training giant networks on less expensive hardware.
First, apparently they didn't find anybody interested in it, so throwing the code into the open is still better than the trash can where it would disappear forever. Maybe as open source they find somebody willing to invest time and energy to make it more useful and/or accessible which then even flows back to benefit the original author. For free.

Second, open sourcing does bot preclude making money from it. If it turns out that enough people actually find it useful. As long as nobody does, the argument "butbif I oprn source it then I can't monetize it" is void in any case.

You are painting an incomplete picture. Between high (racking your own servers at multiple DCs) & very-high (your own DCs) CapEx options and low CapEx options (IaaS and PaaS), there is a middle ground that - unless you need specific managed services, the larger PaaS ecosystem and/or an extreme scalability - is to use bare-metal cloud providers. This approach combines multiple benefits, including bare metal's max. performance, full isolation / no "noisy neighbors", pretty much total control of the equipment that you rent, cloud-like elasticity, flexible, usually globally distributed, network architecture and reasonable pricing.
"I'll get very drunk, and then review your website. I'll send you a document outlining where I thought the website needed help"

When you are drunk, would you be actually in the state of mind where you can document the issues ?

Even if you record your observations, will you remember the thought process that was happening in your mind while you did the review? Which is the most critical part of Usability Review.

At least the Gmail access overview is a nice feature, far from being universal for all webmail providers. Every provider should have it.

The hunt for the higg's boson reminds me of the attempts to measure the speed of the earth using light beams. Everything we thought we knew about physics told us that we should be able to measure the speed the earth was orbiting by measuring the difference in speed between two beams of light. When the experiments failed, the response was develop more precise measuring techniques, and more perfect mirrors. It wasn't until Einstein that people realized these failed experiments were not failures at all, but evidence that the universe doesn't work quite how we thought. The hunt for the Higg's Boson, and the "failure" to find it after all these years just seems like a reminder that empirical evidence > theoretical models. Just because the math seems elegant doesn't mean it necessarily applies to the universe we are living in.

Of course, they may find the Higg's boson tomorrow, and then my little theory about them being wrong would be proved wrong, but that's science for you.
It's probably safe to say the x86-based, Front Row-displaying AppleTV is over.

I've used linode for a short while and am still using slicehost. If your apps are disk I/O heavy, go for slicehost, if you're looking for more RAM, linode may be a good choice. My stuff was not CPU heavy at the time, so I have no comments on that, but linode seemed pretty fast.

I left linode because I kept getting emails from linode support about disk I/O, and that was for an initial import of a 50GB postgres db.

After that, I kept getting emails from them once in a while, when my app was getting disk I/O busy. I can't run a business with these worries in my mind.

Slicehost is and has been working great for me, and they have great support.
Aren't there any legal means to fight this battle? Consumer laws and other ways of enforcement. Perhaps grellas has a low-down on this?

The whole Aaron Greenspan mess (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/aaron-greenspan/why-i-sued-goo...) does not put me at ease.
Zerigo is another decent host. You can go with their hourly plan for 2 cents per hour for a VPS with 256 MB of RAM.
Speaking of timing, we can even say the same thing about Twitch.

Video game live broadcasting existed as early as 2005 from Korea, where we would get a 240p stream from OGN (a Korean cable channel), which would sometimes get replicated over users' personal servers. Only the most hardcore Starcraft Broodwar fans stayed up until 3am to watch these games live though.
>How exactly does this apply to, say, the African American segment of the population, many of whom have been in the US for hundreds of years and most of whom know no other language than English?

There's an extreme anti-education element to black culture in the US. Caring about and one's education and working hard in school is derided as "acting white". It doesn't apply to everyone, of course (I knew black Americans at Georgetown and Stanford), but it's significant enough to bring down aggregate measures quite a lot. I've also seen studies showing that black parents spend less time helping their children with schoolwork than white and Asian parents.

The US school system isn't perfect (the inability to fire bad teachers, largely because of unions, is, in my opinion, among the biggest problems in the country), but it's not totally or even primarily at fault for the education problems among black people.

Also:

>There's something a little creepy about saying there's nothing wrong with the American education system by only looking at those in the US of European descent and excluding all others.

You're misrepresenting this, not sure if it's deliberate, but this is done for the sake of comparing the US to Europe, which is pretty reasonable and not crypto-racist as you imply.
"After correcting for demographics..."

I didn't read the article, but isn't that just a fancy way of saying "certain people are smart and certain people aren't. We just have a lot of stupid people."

I exaggerate, of course, but that's how it looks from a cursory glance.

Correcting for demographics is the one thing we cannot do in measuring education's effectiveness, as the purpose of an education is for folks to gain habits and be able to do things in the real world -- a world that does not care which demographic you belong to.
If you like, you can follow the author's suggestion to jump to the graphs to avoid the methodology. But then you'd miss the following important adjustments being made to the figures :

"""
So ... let us compare Americans with European ancestry (about 65% of the U.S population, and not some sort of elite) with Europeans in Europe. We remove Asians, Mexicans, African-Americans and other countries that are best compared to their home nations. In Europe, we remove immigrants.
"""

The author has a clear agenda : Some American citizens are more equal than others.
If you're going to put a big blinking red light on all your packets so that the largest, best-armed surveillance state in the world can collect and analyze them, I guess there's very little harm in waving rubber chickens over them too. Go ahead with the stego.

Step one in solving problems is identify the problem. Especially in the political sphere people love to skip over this step for a variety of reasons I hardly have to spell out.

If in fact our schooling policies are basically OK and the problem lies almost solely in the homes, then solutions involving throwing more money at school won't work. This is a worthy investigation.

My personal biases lead me to believe that if anything there's problems in both places, so my main point isn't that this person is necessarily right or wrong, my main point is Step One: Identify The Problem. It's often harder than you might think and often requires biases to be discarded.
whatever sounds good to me
I personally hope there comes a time where you have to go to the track to do that. Because I don't see myself wanting to pay for public roads as a playground for unnecessarily dangerous activities.
If you're into podcasts, you should check this episode of Debug http://www.imore.com/debug-11-don-melton-and-safari : it's Don Melton's interview, former Engineering Director of Internet Technologies at Apple, talking about open-sourcing Mozilla, building Nautilus, creating WebKit and the Safari browser.

It's not about the performance of the car that your driving, but about giving you enough time to react. In theory, if your car and the car you were following had same stopping distance, and you could react instantaneously, then you could drive bumper to bumper without incident.

Even with anti lock brakes, the car in front of you probably has them too, so you still have the same time to react as you always did.

Pile-ups still happen pretty frequently, and they could be avoided completely if people were following at a safe distance, and were alert.

You could definitely argue that autonomous cars should be able to follow closer than human operated ones, and I'd buy that.
Where are the server located? Because of the main reason for quitting gmail would certainly be server location vs reaching distance from NSA and Co. At least for me.
I think they're trying to retain relevance down the track because once car ownership dissipates, most people will be more utilitarian with what they hire and car less about car stylings. e.g., Google have a dorky little concept and Apple's Titan is unlikely to be sporty, assuming that turns out to be some sort of minivan.

All the cabs I take are pretty standard looking and I've never cared.

Unless you’re really special, your grocery bills at the end of the year will dominate your takeout and restaurants bills combined.

This was an eye opener to me, after meticulously tracking my finances for a year.

There’s two takeaways. (1) on the days where you don’t feel like cooking, do not feel bad about ordering take out or dining out. (2) consider how you can minmax your staple grocery items, by buying in bulk, joining a food co-op. Etc

You win a lot more by shaving dimes off every pound of oatmeal, integrated over a lifetime. And it’s recurring returns on a one-time investment of finding the best source in your neighborhood.

Buy the coffee every once in a while if it brings you joy. Everything in moderation, of course.
Fixed point numbers have finite precision. As soon as you multiply two fixed point numbers you risk losing precision unless you use more space for your result. You can’t fix your “long chain of calculation” by making it fixed point as you’ll still be rounding things (unless it happens that all your numbers need 54-63 bits of precision and you were wasting bits on the exponent)

Apart from in accounting, the two problems with floats are nonassociativity and speed, neither of which are particularly relevant here.

The risk of losing money does not look like subtle floating point rounding errors. It looks like someone fucking up a formula in excel or the model being wrong or the model being right but risk not being hedged.plenty of people in finance will add percentages as x + y instead of doing (1-(1+x)*(1+y)) because it’s simpler (this works fine because log(1+x) is approximately x when it’s small, and it can obviously be made better by taking the log earlier but plenty of percentage inputs to a model may be rough guesses anyway (who cares if you write 5% or log(5%)))
It's only potentially outdated advice for people that are already financially sound, have a large amount invested, and understand the risks. "Don't keep an emergency fund, just sell your stocks or use credit" is really bad advice for people trying to get ahead for the first time.

I mean I imagine no one person or team completely understands the entire app. Different people/teams are responsible for different portions of the app. Each team only needs to understand their modules and the few other modules they interact with.
I doubt that these well meaning scientists will satisfy the critics who will only see it as even more genetic engineering. It will also be impossible to recover the cost as there will likely be no benefit to the farmer at all.

> Apple will work closely with leading payment platforms and app developers across the payments and commerce industry to offer Tap to Pay on iPhone to millions of merchants in the US.

Is it just me feeling that Apple is again playing gatekeeper to iPhone APIs and hindering true competition by "working with leading platforms" aka. the big players, like Stripe or PayPal, essentially leaving startups and smaller players disadvantaged.

Why not just finally open the NFC API?
