Regarding your book, have you expanded on the math section? I saw somewhere a draft of the material and the math review seemed to be broken up into short paragraphs. These short paragraphs lacked examples and appeared to assume previous background knowledge in the subject, which seems contradictory to the book's title and aim. For example.. I believe you mentioned somewhere "The Jacobian is a m x n matrix containing the 1st order partial derivatives of vectors with respect to vectors." -- Since I have a math background I can understand what you write. But for someone with little to no math background (e.g. a software practitioner) this may throw them off.

I am hesitant to recommend your book to a true practitioner due to the assumed knowledge presented within the math section. I think a better treatment of mathematics would assume the reader has little to no background but is intelligent enough to learn ground up the specific use cases of the mathematics for the deep learning techniques presented in the book. See: http://www.deeplearningbook.org/ for better treatment of the math review. It seems more thorough and makes less assumptions about the math background of the reader.

I would love to recommend your book to a practitioner but I'm afraid the math section (the version I reviewed) would scare them off/they would get little out of it.

Phone interview - 1h during work hours. On-site interview - ~3h total, but probably a whole day off work. Test - ~1h at any time you choose.

I'm not sure I follow your logic. They would spend just as many hours, at a more inconvenient time of day without the test. I did the task myself to a level I'd expect at the time to make sure it does not take "many hours". If that simple task would take people many hours, then I hope they didn't apply... (or they would probably fail very soon if hired at all)

Its disengenious to suggest that because the government is only providing the venue whereby litigant demands hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars and enforces this judgement by confiscating plantifs goods that there isn't a first ammendment interest in the case.

Just as the government may not suppress the right to speech by threat of jail and direct confiscation of money it also cannot provide a venue for other citizens to do so.

Pretending that the first ammendment and libel/defamation/slander don't intersect is a gross misstatement.

How many times do these results need to be replicated before you'll believe them?

So far the thrust results have been replicated more than the majority of economics and social science research (i.e. more than zero times).
Stop thinking of him as a potential leader of the free world and instead of as a living, breathing "Fuck you!" to mainstream politics and the wealthy elite. Donald Trump went to a big Detroit auto show, looked straight at the execs of the American auto industry and told them if they closed their American factories and opened them up in Mexico he'd slap them with a 35% tariff. That kind of shit resonates with a populace who has seen both parties sell off the middle class to enrich themselves and the wealthy elite. I don't support him and don't suggest anyone votes for either him or Hillary, but it's very easy for me to understand why people like him so much.
I'd recommend starting with mithriljs. The idea behind it is very similar to react for views. It's also vanilla JavaScript so you will probably have an easier job learning it.
Trump and the Truth: The Viral Candidate
I have to agree with delish on this matter. Notyourwork's comment actually took away from the conversation. jhchen's assertions of, "be familiar with the project", "don't just start writingcode", and "your contribution is not free for the project" is not summed up nicely with the word "collaborate". To some people, collaborate might mean to put in a pull request without caring whether it is wanted or not, the exact opposite of what the OP said. "Collaborate" can be taken in so many ways that it is useless, and in this instance actually takes away from the message.

A closer summary of what the OP said is "Don't waste the project maintainers time" which, while much better than "collaborate", is still a waste of time and misses the specific advice the OP gives.

Delish is justified in calling out notyourwork's comment for providing nothing useful. If I wrote a comment like the one notyourwork wrote I would be feeling guilty for writing a comment just for points. Also the size of a comment is not a good basis for criticism.
Well, first of all, you're assuming that priests have anything to do with this. In Christianity, they don't, because the role of priests was to intercede between God and humanity, and Christ has interceded once and for all, with the result that all people are equal before God. Anyone who claims to be a priest now is inserting himself between God and man.

Having said that, you seem to be implying that the same standard of evidence should apply to both science and philosophy/religion, which doesn't make sense. For example, trying to use a computer-related analogy, demanding scientific evidence for an afterlife would be like trying to access VM host memory from within a guest: what happens in the host happens outside the realm of the guest, and the guest cannot (or should not be able to, if properly implemented) directly access host memory.

The bottom line is that you cannot prove or disprove philosophy with science.

Yes, it has a display component. I don't see how that implies it must always be used by looking at it. Keys (usually) have labels on them, yet many people don't use the labels as reference once they're accustomed to touch typing.

Learning key commands can be a chore, requiring use of the manual or discovery through menus. Do you remember cards provided with some applications that included lists of command key commands? The Touch Bar makes things like that instantly available. And once you learn where they are, you don't need to be looking at them.

There are probably going to be some interesting interaction possibilities where we're going to want use the Touch Bar in a more visual way.

One I can think of is the autocomplete demo during the Hello Again event. I personally think autocomplete would be better served keyboard alone in a manner similar to how the spelling and grammar suggestions work, rather than through the Touch Bar, but again, that's not having used it.

I completely agree that it is a new input device. Just not completely new. Some things are going to carry over from the keyboard, the trackpad, and the touch screen. And I agree the lack of physical response may take some getting used to. As I mentioned, I think we'll see improvements on this in the future.

Technically yes. But really, no.

Technically a pigeon in New York could deuce one out mid-flight, and it could catch an updraft and wind up landing on my car in Seattle. Will it ever happen? Those odds are probably better than a rogue asteroid set loose from mining hitting the earth.
By comparison, there's $956 quintillion of platinum in the earth's crust, and similar amounts of other precious metals.

5 ug/kg (incidence of platinum in crust) x 6x10^24 kg (crust size) x 32 USD/g (price of platinum)

Asteroid mining is crazy silly. We're not supply limited for any element on earth, we're demand limited. If the price of platinum rose substantially, so would supply.

It doesn't matter how much of anything is available in space, the only thing that matters is cost. Can it be extracted and brought back to earth for a cost less than the current price on earth? AFAICT, we're not even close to that for anything.

Dear America,

This all sounds complicated and insecure.

Why can you not just do paper voting with simple ballots, like in Canada?

Yes, you have 10x the people, but just get 10x the human counters and scrutineers. Counting is parallelizable.

We run elections and get accurate, verifiable results in the same day.

Ours aren't as nasty as yours are, and we still have better anti-fraud than you do, since every paper ballot can be counted, as many times as needed. And since the thing which is counted is the same physical thing which can be audited, we can always verify the results if anything goes wrong.

You've had some problems with your ballots 16 years ago, and we're not sure why you haven't fixed this by now. After all, you've gotten people to the moon and robots to Mars--surely you'd want a fair, verifiable presidential election? (Especially when one of the two candidates is, frankly, terrifying to all your friends around the world.)

Love,
Canada

Australia can be dangerous, but not for the reasons people think.

People who go wandering into the outback (think Death Valley a few times the size of Europe) or swimming in hidden rips are more likely to end up on the news for the wrong reasons than being randomly eaten by a croc.

I don't think there had been a spider death in Australia for decades. Snake deaths happen occasionally but almost always because some kid is running into long, dry grass in summer. Recently a NZ woman was killed by a croc on the beach after ignoring explicit warnings and running around drunk during their feeding time - in a remote far north rainforest.

Sharks are present and dangerous though, another reason to be mindful before jumping into the clear blue ocean.

Cheers. The lines are starting to blur, aren't they?
> Yes, there are deadly animals but you typically have to be doing something unusual or silly to encounter one in a dangerous way.

True everywhere except the far north (North Queensland, Northern Territory and the top end of Western Australia) where there are saltwater crocodiles.

In that part of Australia, unless there's a sign saying otherwise, assume any body of water has a crocodile in it, watching you :)
I think it's worth adding that if it doesn't use some off-the-shelf OS, then the complexity of the software just jumped a few levels because you're talking about writing a lot more lower-level components to make it work. Using an off-the-shelf OS is almost definitely the better way to go unless there's some obvious reason that it won't work (Like architecture issues). I would also add that the choice of OS matters a lot less then configuration - If you do your configuration carefully and strip down the active components in the system, then you can make any of them secure enough for this task. And if you do a poor job of it, then even OpenBSD isn't going to save you.

That said, while I do agree the voting software should be open-source in principle, I'm not really as concerned with hackable bugs in that software that can only be exploited through physical means. If they have physical access to the machine like in this video then you're already shot - ideally you have preventive measures that will make it obvious when physical access has occurred. If you don't physically secure the machine, then it doesn't really matter how good the code is.
Ouch! This looks really bad. If/when Apple fixes this it may require all 3rd-party software that accesses the keychain to be updated. However that's not for sure. We will have to wait and see.
Perhaps a better way to say it is that it would be a very serious ethical violation.
could someone who has the TouchBar tell me: is it possible to lock the function keys in place? Does the user or the app have ultimate control of its little screen?

edit: I say this as someone who loves nyancat, and would love to have a nyan-mode on/off toggle somewhere, if I had a TouchBar.
Don't use static ports. Pick a random one and update the load balancer (Haproxy, Traefik, Nginx) to point to the new one. If the rollout fails, you can always roll back by pointing back the old one.

FWIW, Kubernetes solves this out of the box.

We have appendixes covering the basics there. I actually recommend deeplearningbook.org myself for a reference.

It works in hostels because like you said, most people are traveling. This means they're only in the city for a night or two, so they want to socialize, meet local people or other travelers as part of their adventure, go out together, etc.

This doesn't work the same in other 'social' places. If you visit a coffee shop, 90% of people are meeting friends, doing work, or want to drink alone and browse the internet. I don't know how you'd start a place that only encourages visitors that want to meet new friends. What about a coffee shop that only has big round tables with 10 seats, so you need to share tables with a handful of strangers and face each other?

You could try local CouchSurfing meetups. I've been to some alone, and depending on the city they might have 5 or 100 people. They're typically at pubs, and some are better than others, but they're usually a mix of locals and travelers from around the world. Quite a few others go alone, so it's relatively easy to make some friends.
First, it's important to understand that most of these technologies have emerged and became popular because they solved real problems. In this regard, it may be difficult to "learn" them, if you never had those problems in the first place. If you feel comfortable learning jQuery, learn/use it enough to run into its weaknesses -- it won't take long. Then moving on will feel more natural and will feel less like effort and more like pain relief.

Second, I would be more focused on obtaining fundamental programming skills, like the ones you get taught in academic CS classes, and less concerned about [insert-your-shiny-"new"-js-paradigm-here]. The reality is, pillars of programming haven't changed drastically since 70ies, and if you're very comfortable with the fundamentals, everything else becomes less a matter of understanding, and more a matter of memorizing ("oh so this is how you do fundamental thing X in this particular framework").

Finally, as others have rightfully noted, focusing on one thing at a time makes learning way more efficient. It may seem counter-intuitive, but learning ten things consecutively will take way less time and energy than learning them in parallel.

Additionally, the production cost of most rare metals is very highly correlated with the cost of energy. It seems likely that space mining may have to compete with metals produced at a price an order of magnitude cheaper than the current price because cheap solar energy appears to be coming.
The paper itself details a range of mundane error sources (including thermal expansion) that still haven't been ruled out as the cause of the observed thrust.
I was raised going to church but stopped in college, and I really miss the community. There's absolutely nothing like it that I've found in the secular world. It almost makes me want to 'fake it' and join a church again, just to be around such kind and welcoming people so often.

And it's not just the social part of the community, or the moral lessons, although I liked both of those things - a church gives you an entire framework for your life. What's a secular wedding? A secular funeral? How do your kids get involved in the community outside of the public school system (Boy Scouts is hardly secular) and how do you celebrate their coming of age? What are your standing plans for Wednesday night and Sunday morning? We have to reinvent all these things from scratch when we're not involved with a church, and people do that, but I've never seen such an in-depth and positive out-of-the-box experience as what a church provides. They've been optimizing this stuff for literally millennia.

And I think that society is ripe for a group that will provide all of this, while not also trying to tell us about spirits doing magic tricks. And if you think about it that way, then the "this is where the world comes from" part of religion is almost a sideshow to the "here's a community and framework for your life" part, and yet it's what people focus on and what turns people away.
Among my other interests are table top games, going to local shows, and reading science fiction.

I have grown to love the touch screen on my Chromebook pixel. Felt awkward to reach at first, but a non touch screen now feels really awkward. Not that the touch screen replaces all interaction, there are some things that are faster on the keyboard, touch pad, or touch screen.

That said, touching other people's screens is not polite.

With regards to the touch bar, seems like you could use software in combination with the existing touchpad and screen to do something similar. Reserve the top edge of the touch pad, on touch a menu pops up, slide to select or something...

I think that we can basically use more of our bodies than is currently thought.
Everything we feel has a biological correlate. Try making yourself feel good. After you get a workout high or some such, try expanding the feeling. You'll notice it's in your gut / abdomen area. This is where a your adrenals, a majority of your serotonin and a good percentage of your dopamine is located. If you can do this with some success, try checking in a mirror and you'll notice that doing this dilates your pupils.

With a few days of practice this kind of thing can get pretty intense. With years of constant use I believe that we can get very dexterous in how we make ourselves feel. I'm curious how this kind of thing can eliminate our thinking with our emotions. This is a major leap from how most of us live our lives, but I don't think it stops there.

>The eagle eye is among the strongest in the animal kingdom, with an eyesight estimated at 4 to 8 times stronger than that of the average human. An eagle is said to be able to spot a rabbit 3.2 km away

What do you think the vision of an eagle would be like if it lives its life in a 10x14 room? I'm very curious, but it's evident that it would be terrible compared to where it's at now. Conversely, what do you think a human's vision would be like if he lived a good percentage of his life in the sky?

If you have bad vision like me, try taking out your contacts and sitting where a text is just getting blurry. Now for 30 minutes try to clear your vision. You'll likely notice that at least once, you were able to do it manually (with other times it being more an accident). I've spoken to this with my optometrist and he agrees that a person can teach themselves to correct their vision without the need of corrective lenses.

When we are babies we have much more neurons and synapses than we have as an adult. It's believed that we essentially lose what we don't need. More to the point, we use what we don't use. I believe we may be able to regain these synapses with practice. Over the years, we've only been using as much of our bodies as needed to survive. I think it's evident that we can use more.

I'm curious for some input on this.
Exactly, more people counting is not a problem. It's actually a good thing. Why not get more people involved in the electoral process? It's beyond me why anyone would want to undermine this.

Docker can totally reduce the risk of in-container services being exploited. It has sane defaults, and makes it easy to distribute other restrictions with the application (seccomp profile, apparmor settings, etc).
Its amazing to me how many people who purportedly believe in science act more like priests than scientists. Science is about drawing conclusions from empirical data, not ignoring empirical data that doesn't jive with your predetermined conclusions.
It doesn't matter what the return is; if the nominal rate of return is 5% and inflation is 3%, and $10000 increases to $10500, I'm still paying capital gains on $500, when in fact $300 of that is just inflation and the real gains are only $200. The key issue is that capital gains tax applies to nominal rather than real returns.
