If you google "Hinton machine learning" on youtube, you will find hinton's lecture's they are non-mathematical, he is a psychologist/math guy, and he is the inventor of almost all this stuff, backprop, drop-out,

You will find his lectures to be very entertaining and easy to understand, being a psychologist whose desire is to make a computer operate like a human brain, he's more interested in how the brain actually works, than hacking ML code.

Hinton describes backprop, why he invented it, and exactly how it emulates the way the human brain works.

Hinton now works at microsoft, he is considered the modern day 'godfather' of DeepLearning/ML
Thank you for this. That program is so nice I think I might even abandon more traditional tools like OllyDbg, since this seems more targeted towards what I usually do with them, anyway.
I don't think that first question proves what you think it proves.

Learning implementation details about a specific programming language is not what CS is supposed to be about (see the quote about astronomers and telescopes). In fact, if you use several programming languages at the time, I'd go as far as to call it a waste of my time - if I'm worried about overflow for a specific problem, I can get the range of data (in which programming language? which architecture?) in 30 seconds online.

I can see it being a valid question if you are working in a problem down to the bit level. But those are getting rarer, and ultimately it's what an Engineer excels at.

The second question does seem fair, though.
We can also give Android APIs as an example instead of Angular, or the whole IDE and NDK reboot.
And the top level domains have been taken.

For all his faults, I thought he came across pretty good tonight.

I've never liked the man on a lot of levels, but tonight he did better than I anticipated. He has been doing some homework.
I was in Rome recently and they seem to do something similar. It makes for a lot more pleasant city when you have so much less traffic and the associated noise.
For those who were slightly confused as to why this post talks about 4.3 when 4.8 is a few days away from release - if you miss it at the end, Kees is just catching up and will do more posts covering 4.4 to 4.8 :)
Unfortunately, I wouldn't hold my breath. Even Bill Gates couldn't fix this problem (literally -- who remembers TrafOData?)

Apparently, cities don't want smooth traffic flow. It's bad for their public transit agenda.
This depends on what you mean by "properly" and "impossible" and "professional" and "forward".

Many professional name-brand corporations use Tor daily.

The only ports opened are those you configure to have onion services. Port limiting is one of the major features of firewalls.

You don't get to control source IP ranges, but those aren't generally trustworthy on the open internet anyway.

Also, the traffic isn't "forwarded" -- hidden services shouldn't be run on a relay, actually, so you're not forwarding anybody's traffic but your own.

Also, barring the recent attacks on discovery of onion services, connecting to a tor onion service allows you stronger security guarantees and MitM defense than TCP+DNS+IP routes.

Is there a governing body or regulatory authority which looks over the process followed by CAs ?

As a fan of firefox, I am happy that as a community, Mozilla has done the necessary ground work to reach this conclusion. However, as long as PKI remains a highly profitable business, more and more such events are going to happen.

I don't think all CAs should be trusted equally. Right now, AFAIK, my browsing experience is only as secure as the weakest CA. Hopefully, HPKP can put an end to this.
Medical students are expected to have a strong science background, and well before they commit to being a surgeon they'll have units where they need to wield a scalpel. If they find out it's not for them there are plenty of other paths which don't involve surgery.

Engineering students are expected to have a strong maths background. If you can't do algebra and basic calculus then there's no chance of getting in.

It's completely reasonable to expect a CS student to have experience programming.
Hi-

Exponent exposes all of the React Native built-in APIs which encompass a lot of what you're asking about.

For example, here is the Clipboard API: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/clipboard.html

Wifi network configuration is more complicated, but there are some things exposed like "NetInfo" which lets you know the current state of connectivity.
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/netinfo.html

The complete React Native docs are here: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/
and Exponent specific docs are here: http://docs.getexponent.com/

For now, Exponent just lets you write things that only use JS, and we make that easy and reliable and straightforward. We actually think this is the best way to write most apps that can be built this way since the code is easier to maintain and works cross platform, and you can do things like instant updates much more reliably when all your code is JS.

We're looking at a way you can write Java/Swift/Obj-C extensions for Exponent, but that will take us some time.

If neither Blurb nor Publit appeal to you, I've been using Lulu.com for making hard copies of our blog about our kids. Seems to be the same price as Blurb, and has a UK division.

To generate the PDF, I use a nasty Python script to scrape the blog entries and images and massage then into LaTeX. Nasty code, but at least it works :P

I don't know much about Flexport but it feels like a scammy company to me. I listened to the their interview at start up schools radio, I didn't like their attitude.

There is also lots of fake comments praising the company in this thread. Very weird to do this at this stage of company.
I would have absolutely loved this if it were 5 GHz wifi. 2.4 GHz wifi in my apartment is practically useless, with ~40 visible APs from my laptop.

Tesla created a brand that is unmatched and stands on its own from the car market. I think it doesn't matter if Chevy, or BMW makes an electric car, it doesn't matter if has better distance or faster chargers, it is not a Tesla so people who want a Tesla won't want that car.

Or to put it another way people who want and buy Teslas are not necessarily the same people who want, or like other cars.

In a perverse way, one of the things that propels the brand forward is the difficulty to get one. Once something is forbidden, it automatically become desired. In a funny way I'd like to imagine, we'd discover one day Musk is paying all these state dealership lobbies ot lobby against direct Tesla sales.
Curating is the reason.

When a new platform is released (and Daydream is as exciting as a platform can get, till widespread AR atleast) you want the initial experience to be the best possible to increase standards.
Lyft and Uber primarily market driving as a part-time way to get extra cash, not as a full-time job. Lyft has targeted typical, otherwise-employed drivers since its inception. Uber pivoted from a black car service to catch up with Lyft and its pooling service, Lyft Line.

Though both services offer generous incentives to full-time drivers (extra cash per 1000 rides in a month), I would expect this to recede after enough part-time drivers can take over.

When it's a side job, the lack of benefits don't matter.

Many governments offer centralized health care that companies don't contribute to. I think you should limit your scope to the United States.
Thanks for the info. It's a bit expensive for me. I've been wondering about a good long term project and this might be it. I'll have to think about it.

They're a reaction to food. Limiting my diet eliminates them completely. My doctors agree that it's related to food intolerance. What they cannot figure out is a firm diagnosis and treatment.

The problem is that a very diverse set of foods can cause these reactions for me. It isn't as simple as, say, eliminating dairy. My diet is now very limited, to the point of affecting my general state of health. I'm subsisting on plain chicken, rice, spoonfuls of coconut milk, and a "healthy" fat supplement (containing monounsaturated fat), in addition to 2 restaurant dishes which I can tolerate (I've tried dozens).

If I make a dietary mistake, I basically end up with intestinal symptoms accompanied by neurological symptoms (including externally visible twitches among other things) , not to mention typical allergy-like symptoms i.e. throat constriction, sinus inflammation etc, although I'm told it's not a true allergy, but an intolerance. The doctors I've seen have been stumped. But there's no question it all comes down to the gut. I've heard "abdominal epilepsy" being thrown around (after having done numerous tests) but things have not advanced from there. Other ideas were histamine intolerance, celiac sprue, or crohn's disease but the latter two proved back negative after a small intestine biopsy.

Probiotics do improve my symptoms a bit. Somewhat paradoxically (but not really when you think about it), certain antibiotics also clear up my symptoms temporarily. The neurological symptoms are inseparable from the abdominal ones; they always happen at the same time, and it's always primarily an intestinal issue in terms of how it begins (stomach upset after eating something I'm intolerant to).

To top things off, I'm underweight due to what I'm told is malabsorption.

I've tried to make this post concise but there's a lot going on (and yet a lot I did not mention). I hope this explains why I'm considering FMT.
Lets look at africa, then look at medieval japan. Two cultures, two times limited ressources (wilderness - forrests).
One time, the allmend ressources are managed and tight self-controll is established over society - even during times of warfare and strife.
Why does this not work in africa?

Even feudalism can be self-disciplined- aka medieval Japan according to Jared Diamond.

> Why is embedding a script into an image allowed?

Because it lets you create vector games:

http://public.codenazi.fastmail.fm/asteroids_dynamic.svg

(a better use would be stuff like D3-style interactive charts)

Warning: I never finished that project because SVG rendering was too slow ~6 years ago. Frames would drop on every reflow after any DOM change. Arrows move, space shoots. Collision checks are on so the shield (x) works, but the death animation is disabled in that version.

I actually agree that images shouldn't be Turing complete. That's unnecessary in almost every normal situation and only adds attack surface. However, there is a place for animated vector graphics.

There was actually an offer to turn SQlite3 into a spec under the condition that Firefox agreed to implement it.
Firefox declined since they didn't want to "confuse" developers with too many options.
For VNC-style full desktop access, Teamviewer just works...it runs on Windows and Linux, is very fast, and (usually) doesn't need any special firewall/NAT rules set up. I believe on Windows at least, it can be used to establish a VPN as well.

Might be overkill if you just need to reach one particular service (e.g. HTTP(S)) though, in which case you could consider setting up a reverse proxy (e.g. using nginx) on a DMZ'd server?
Autossh is great, I use it all the time. I use "@reboot" in a non-privileged user's cron to start them.
All you need is SSH and SSH config. There are a lot of tutorials out there, but I find many of them are based on older versions of SSH which lack a bit more sugar around proxying.

Essentially you will add a directive to SSH config for the NAT host, and the host that you want to access. In the directive for the host to access, you will specify that you're proxying through the NAT host.

You can then leave out all of the port forwarding options when connecting to the target host, SSH will pick that up from the config file.
Yes, London is planning to close Oxford street, it just has to figure out how buses can be redirected in a smart way to allow shoppers to get there easily. Furthermore, one of the busiest intersections (bank) will be closed to all vehicles but buses from next year on. The fact that it will even be closed to black cabs is a strong signal.

In addition to that there are also plans to revert some of the 70's car-friendly areas in the city. Mainly roads that were designed to be one-way to ease traffic flow will be made less car-friendly. This is supposed to slow down traffic which should make it safer for cyclists and pedestrians. ("The one-way system encourages high traffic speeds, which is at odds with the City's aspiration for safer streets within the Square Mile.") [0]

I'm not aware that there is any project in London at the moment that will ease congestion, it's all about making life for pedestrians and cyclists easier. As a cyclist, I really welcome that trend. The new cycle-superhighways [1] are a great thing, IMO.

FTA, it sounds like a natural extension of the services they have already been building.
If you ignore the terminology, DFS is basically just recursively walking a graph, something which actually happens all the time in most dev jobs. I'm sure I wrote a DFS long before I had heard the term.

I hate brain teaser interviews as much as the next guy, but being able to do basic operations on basic data structures is pretty much the minimum to be a developer.

Actually, its not that its a personal choice question. There are real differences in what different sexes value. What you choose to spend your free time on? How much you value stability? What you enjoy doing? How risk averse you are? How much you value having more free time? What hobbies you have?

There are real differences there between sexes, and those preferences affect what career is the best for you. You don't pick whats average for you, you pick your best career with all things considered, and small differences in preferences can skew the outcomes heavily.
Also I like to point out there is bunch of careers where there is heavy shortage of MEN choosing it for same reasons.

"Regarding 1., do you completely disregard MISRA-C and the other safety certifications?"

Hmm, i don't think i understand that. Of course we do not disregard MISRA-C. I don't know where this impression came from. As i said, no dynamic allocation, no pointer arithmetic etc. Could you elaborate?

"What about bounds checking and making sure the pointers are always valid?"

Well, if your code is controlling big, possibly dangerous machines, you will/should be doing formal verification anyway (i use FRAMA-C). This will go a long way regarding said issues.

Furthermore you will not/should not create your complex state machines by hand. There are tools for that (and yes, formally verified as well).

P.S.: CompCert is a necessity as well.

I encourage developers to wait for a more open platform before jumping on the VR bandwagon.

We don't need Google to curate VR apps for us. The PC did just fine with anyone being able to develop and distribute whatever kind of app they wanted, in fact it created far more business opportunity for developers than mobile ever did. We screwed up when it came to mobile by letting Google and Apple get away with their land grabs. Now we're paying them until the end of time for the privilege of being able to market our own software.

We don't need Google owning and taxing this space as well.

I rented out my car on GetAround (not a Tesla) for eight months, and the results weren't pretty:

One accident (side swipe), two tows (parking in construction zone and blocking a neighbor's driveway respectively), and countless tickets.

Many renters didn't fill it up with gas after their trip ended. They also left my car dirty and left trash in it.

Many of my renters improperly parked my car on the street, resulting in countless tickets (GetAround requires renters to park it in a restriction-free zone for 24 hours, no street cleaning, etc.).

My brakes squeal now, and the maintenance light is on in my car. One of the tires also has a gash in it.

One renter stole my SD card, USB car charger, and windshield mount for my phone (I hadn't kept tabs on them so I couldn't narrow it down who the culprit was).

Going into it, I was pretty optimistic about it, but after getting towed twice, I'm feeling pretty sour about it. Their customer support was pretty terrible, too -- they took days to respond at times.

I did FlightCar for a year, and their customer service was a bit better, and their renters took nicer care of my car.
Did they?

I saw them report a cannon with 1.5tbps capacity (based on multiple sources), wasn't clear they were getting hit by that load though (it looked like 991gbps from what I could gather, which still I didn't know of and is mind-blowing!)

It is generally considered far more likely for the price of oil to go dramatically up, not down. Saudi Arabia is currently pumping at razor-thin margins. In the words of their oil minister (yes, they have one): "The stone age came to an end not due to lack of stones"

At my University (Swinburne, Melbourne, Australia) I studied Software Engineering with a minor in Digital Electronics.

They said all along the goal wasn't for us to be as competent as the Electrical/Electronic Engineers, but to teach us their language and the basics so we could work together. It was great.

My degree is accredited by the Australian Institute of Engineers.
> However if you hire whites who couldn't do FizzBuzz in the interview and you didn't hire asians who could, then you can't really say that "not being able to do fizzbuzz is a disqualifier" because it only disqualified some candidates.

This is a great point and it's why I always include FizzBuzz in any interview—no matter how they were referred, how impressive their resume is, or their confidence level.

Having consistent benchmarks helps give you legal cover, but it's also essential to running a solid interview process. If you're not applying the same tests to all candidates, it's impossible to detect problems in your filters and you can easily end up making biased decisions or hiring the wrong people.

Yes, I understand that it can be annoying to have to solve such a basic problem in an interview, but it only takes a few minutes—just get it over with, it's not meant as an insult.
Essentially, here: https://csp-experiments.appspot.com/strict-dynamic

The idea behind CSP based on nonces (as opposed to the "old" approach of using whitelists) is that you add the valid nonce token only to the script directly sourced from your page, and trust propagates to other scripts loaded dynamically by the "loader" script. This way you no longer have to care about what domains the widget uses -- if you trust the initial script, give it a nonce and it will execute, along with the subresources it needs.

Of course you can still have a domain whitelist or use Subresource Integrity if you're loading scripts from potentially untrusted infrastructure. But the nonce-based approach is meant precisely to avoid the "moving target" problem you mentioned.
Not true about body fat levels. Metabolism is not quite regulated in this way. Otherwise those people would get hot before they get fat, as their metabolism would speed up.

Metabolism control seems to be based of medium term intake rather than fat stores. Either that or there is a set point which is quite hard to move. Or both.
Handling the fat does increase basal metabolic rate to an extent. But only so far. The abovementioned slowdown starts with mild thyroid suppression and shows up in bloodwork. This can cut BMR by up to half without starvation. (25% calorie cut from high levels is nowhere near enough)

The problem is, this reduces will to both diet and exercise and induces a low grade depression.
