Have you seen the LibriSpeech ASR corpus[1]? It's large scale (1k hours) Creative Commons licensed English speech with the original book text.

The data is derived from read audiobooks from the LibriVox project and has been carefully segmented and aligned.

If you mean real world as in "with realistic noise", Baidu's DeepSpeech showed that adding noise to clean audio can make a resilient model.
Indeed, having clean audio is better as you can add different types of noise to clean data to, in effect, create regularization.

I could say 'gained a little bit on performance' is a wild understatement, because the actual gain is several orders of magnitude, but that in itself would be a wild understatement. It could be taken to suggest that a second of work on a modern PC could be duplicated on a 1989 PC if you were willing to wait all day, but in reality it couldn't; very little of what I use computers for today could be done on the machines I had in 1989 at all no matter how long I was prepared to wait.
Just to be clear, the "would be trivial" part was a joke, right?
I really don't know how you got here. BMI has been raked over the coals (new and old methods) for being wildly inaccurate for anyone outside of a conditional range. IQ does not predict what to expect from a human being.

Those who double down on IQ as being infallible have something to lose if it's proven to be hack. And history is not on your side here.

I was able to make successful projects with the Zynq a few years ago, but it is a pretty steep challenge - it requires pretty broad knowledge of software, Linux, and hardware design. The general process was very convoluted - requiring HDL to be wrapped in top level components defined in the Vivado GUI. It worked well once you figured out what was going on, but the learning curve is pretty steep. I tried to touch the GUI as least as possible - I did unit tests with Icarus Verilog instead, and had my own script for packaging and live reloading the FPGA bitstream (a pretty neat trick that Xilinx pulls off, there). I did wonder how someone lacking any of the pieces of knowledge would ever get it to work - and indeed, a blog post I made about it working gathered many responses of people having trouble making a similar basic project.

A side note - the Zynq is one of the better documented SoCs out there (aside from the FPGA bitstream itself), so it might be worth considering just for that.

I also have tried Clifford Wolf's tools, and they are absolutely wonderful. It's the way I wish all FPGAs worked. It's amazingly complete - I wouldn't hesitate to ship a product using a bitstream generated from yosys/arachne/icestorm.

Extra extra side note - in some cases that used to require FPGAs, you can now get away with bit-banging from a normal microcontroller. Most newish micros can do single cycle GPIO writes, and can be clocked over 100MHz.
It had already back in the early 2000s, now is turning senile...
I fail to see how Git has a bad UX.. the way it took over other CVSs by storm suggest that those systems had UX that was significantly worse. In fact, I think you would be hard-pressed to find a recent piece of software which was a bigger success, UX-wise.

Or why is Git popular, then? Could Github be built on, say, SVN? Many times in IT, popularity is also driven by support of a large corporation, but it was non-existent in this case.
I hold my code and documents on a COW filesystem and create a snapshot every hour. The snapshots take care of P1 and git takes care of P2. I would argue that P1 is not the job of a version control system anyway.

What's the evidence for that? The Idea Factory, a history of Bell Labs, claims that it was originally "system engineering", back when America's phone network was called the Bell System. Of course, there was a lot of overlap between Bell Labs and NASA. Echo, Telstar, transistors and so on.
>Mozilla is going the way of Opera

Nope, that's not happening. Instead, it seems Mozilla is investing more of their relatively smaller resources on the most important two things that actually matter: a) Browser engine and b) JavaScript.

This is exactly what they should do. Produce the fastest, leanest, safest browser core. After playing with Servo, I feel it will be as big a release as the original Firefox was in the early 2000s.

Ok, but here's a counterpoint: for five years now I've been running Mageia Linux on a variety of laptop, desktop, whatever, all with Pulse and I've never had a problem. Like, none. I wouldn't even know how to diagnose it if I did, but since it never happens, I never think about it.

So...consider me a satisfied Pulse user, I guess, except I don't even think about it. For me, Linux audio is just a solved problem.

> Gripping the bike’s front wheel was the only way for riders to brake

This is not actually true - track bicycles, then and now, do not have a freewheel/freehub mechanism and the rider cannot coast. As a consequence you can use the drivetrain as a braking mechanism by applying back pressure on the pedals.
Any vulnerability that can be caused in PDF.js due to a JS engine bug can be caused by a regular website. IIRC it doesn't access privileged apis.
Agreed. I use Firefox on OS X and I love pdf.js. I found it a huge hassle to get native PDF working on Firefox in the past, and with pdf.js I just don't have to worry about security. I've also not had much/any compatibility issues with pdfs. Bills, concert tickets, and specs all render acceptably. I will be very sad to see it go.

You are correct. I know there are sites out there that even aggregate camera feeds, although the more ethical ones remove any feeds where there may be privacy concerns.

Frankly, I would NEVER install such a device in my house. The engineering on many is (almost?) criminally flawed.
I frequently swap between branches, for code review, or to move temporarily to something else for a short time.

I decide whether to commit what I have done or whether to stash it for now, based on what state it is in.

If I am still in the exploratory stage of the work, I usually wont commit, I will just stash and come back to it later.

Its a useful thing to be able to do at time when i am not yet ready to COMMIT to the changes I have made.
Exactly what I was thinking. I've never owned a Linux computer where I was promised any kind of support. If something goes wrong, I get to fix it or do without, so I end up caring about the inner workings much more than I would with a Windows computer.

It would not be considered derivative work, because what is produced is nothing like the original. There is nothing recognizable in the work produced for a court to rule on.

This is like saying the hash of the text of a book is derivative. If it were ruled that this is the case (that a hash is a derivative work) then suddenly every single number in existence is a derivative of every single other number (since there will always exist some function that will transform X into Y.)
Well, supposing one wanted "true" randomness and had access to a source of such, but still cared to be efficient about using it.

The multiple mentions in the article of Madison Square Garden surprised me till I looked it up. In case anyone else is as confused as I was, it turns out the Madison Square Garden that existed then is not the same as the MSG that exists now (which was constructed in the 60s). In fact, there have been four different venues named "Madison Square Garden" at different times over the years!

Author here.
Yes, it took me well over an year to understand this. All books I read were all theory theory theory. I love maths, and I like reading, so I read them all! But that went nowhere as to bolster my understanding of how to do ML, after all, if I can't write a ML algorithm then what is the point in knowing the sum of squared errors?

I find this approach a bit satisfying, first reading the scikit-learn docs, they are incredible and then going ahead with the theory as you require it, not downplaying the role of theory because there are a lot of parameters to machine learning algorithms.

I was hoping that this would help anyone who is new to ML and is struggling to understand _what_ to study and how to study it.

Funny thing, I got downvoted on Reddit + a comment saying "seems like you studied ML didn't understand it and gave up, this sends a bad message to your audience"
I think Git's success over solutions like CVS or SVN is the superiority of the underlying data model in its ability to take into account the complexity inherent in software being developed by multiple people at once, while at the same time allowing for individual developers to effortlessly fork their own various tasks.
SUDO with Password via ssh is technologically possible.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/470383/how-to-avoid-prompt-pa...

But there is a problem with sudo with password via ssh.

For example...

userA .... 'watch w' on serverA
userB ... 'ssh serverA echo sudopassword | sudo -S command'

userA can steal of root password on ServerA because plain sudo password is displayed by w command.

So, I disable -ask-sudo-password for security reasons.

I can see where he's coming from. I gave up on Twitter a while back as well because I kept finding myself getting into arguments that really have no bearing on my day to day life. There was just something about Twitter that made me a cranky asshole and it was way too easy to bang out a quick angry tweet. I didn't like how I was acting, so I deleted my Twitter account.

It also felt refreshing. Not quite 50 pounds, but maybe 20. :)
This is getting perilously close to "attempting to extract performance information from a program running under a simulator/CPU model", which is really tricky to do in a way that gives you results that apply to actual hardware. In particular, the performance characteristics of QEMU are wildly different from real hardware in several significant ways: (1) the emulated FPU is incredibly slow, so the results will overweight anything that's FP-intensive (2) there is no modelling of CPU caches, TLBs or branch predictors, so these major influences on real-hardware performance won't be visible (3) because the emulated CPU is very slow, interrupt handler and similar code which runs triggered by timers or other external events will take up more time in the trace than it would on hardware.

You'd probably find something interesting in the general sense from looking at what's going on in a QEMU emulation for a fixed time period, but you'd need to be rather wary about how applicable what you saw might be to a real hardware run. At minimum you'd want to cross-check against what perf on real hardware revealed.
There was an alpha product based on Servo in June this year. Servo is nowhere near being done enough to be an actual product (the alpha was a tech demo).

C*O compensation is set by the board of directors. The board is determined by the executives' recommendations. The only shareholder who matters is Carl Icahn; the only power most shareholders have is to sell shares. And I'd be willing to bet something that their willingness to do that is only related to short term performance.

> You are struggling hard

Whenever I argue with a staunch defender of social inequality, the put-down tactics are par for the course. "You struggle", "you fail to comprehend the subtlety of the argument".

If doesn't take a PhD in psychology to understand why that is. For someone to be pro social inequality, they must believe they are already topkek - or are standing a very good chance to make it. If that is the case, then it's a simple matter of statistics that any random stranger is likely placed lower in the pecking order. Therefore they must be "struggling" to comprehend, etc.

There is no "struggle" when you're telling the truth. The higher cognitive load happens when you make stuff up from whole cloth - there are studies showing it, look it up.

In this reality, the trends in political news in the last several years show otherwise. Not sure about other realities.
Xilinx Vivado Webpack is free. The SDK is free. Petalinux is free. I have professionally done Zynq development where the whole company used those free tools and we didn't have a single paid Xilinx tool. I mean free as in cost, not open source. What problem did you run into exactly?
I think you're severely understating the difficulty of getting a huge group of people to act like that against something seen as the status quo.

Your comment follows essentially the same logic as saying to somebody complaining of Government corruption, "citizens can just start a revolution and remove the Government at will - so if they haven't, they must all be perfectly happy with the Government."
Trying, yes. But the method they have chosen is to abandon what made Firefox popular in the first place and imitate Chrome. So why not just use Chrome?

IOW, they're killing the goose that laid the golden egg by trying to transform it into a duck. But if I wanted a duck, I'd already have a duck.

I guess they're blaming Chrome for their lost market share rather than blaming themselves for mismanaging their product. So instead of fixing their mismanagement, they're just trying to copy Chrome.

They used to be leaders (without Mozilla, Chrome probably wouldn't exist as it does today), but now the leader has become the follower. And who needs another follower?

Another perspective is that the Web has "grown up" since 1998. Back then the percentage of Web users who were "power users" (remember, empowering users was the mission back then; "Take back the web!") was much higher--but the raw number was still enough to be fruitful. Since then, half the planet is on the Internet, and the percentage of them that are power users is much lower. The raw number is surely much higher still, but that's not enough for Mozilla--they've got to appeal to the masses to get the percentages. All the loyal users who've been with Mozilla for nearly two decades? They can switch to...uh...Pale Moon, I guess. Mozilla just wants the noobs, because that supposedly brings in the most money.

I hate to say it, but Mozilla needs to die so it can be reborn--again. Every so often, the tree of browser needs to be cleansed with the blood of layoffs--something like that. Then their successors can focus on making a good browser instead of chasing more millions.
"If you want reliable software, insist that no new features go in until all the reported bugs have been fixed."

That is a massive oversimplification. In fact, a key job of a product manager is differentiating between critical bugs that must be fixed, bugs that should be fixed but can wait and bugs that don't need fixing in the near term. Otherwise, for any mature piece of software (particular enterprise software), you will be fixing almost an infinite number of bugs that add little value at the expense of critical features that make the needle move.

This is one of the biggest lessons I got when working on a decade old enterprise software. At first, I was shocked that our VP of Product put certain bugs in the "won't fix any time soon" category. But now, I see how much more value we'be been able to drive because we decided to ignore certain category of bugs for new feature or other feature improvements.

Insisting on blindly prioritizing bug fixes over any thing else does nothing more than satisfy our engineering ego. Don't assume it automatically making the product more useful for the user or driving more value to the company or its customers
Congrats. You just recreated a bad implementation of the staging area in a text file.
The irony is that the conservatives are the ones that are supposed to be close-minded here.

EDIT: To stave off the flood of downvotes: Like pg, I grew up in a midwestern conservative town, and I now live in SV. Conservatives are people, too, and it's not the "end of the world" to live among people with other political and religious views. The media does a bad job here by portraying only a caricature of them here (much like the unfairly over-represented "radicals" in other followings), and I think that the bias here in SV against conservatives can even be considered a form of classism.
