I'm glad this is happening and honestly surprised this didn't happen earlier. fchollet, the Keras main author, works at Google and had integrated TensorFlow into Keras very early on (given he'd known about the existence long before the general public). Even though Keras is backend agnostic, you don't really lose any of the flexibility that TensorFlow would give you - it's a pretty transparent abstraction[3]. Best of all, if a new underlying tensor library appears tomorrow that's better than TensorFlow, you'll be getting support for that too!

Keras goes beyond simply being a concise API, a variety of examples, or a strong community with the "best practices included" philosophy. Opinionated but quite useful.

As an example, the settings for an LSTM are complex and require reasonably thorough understanding of many topics. There's dropout (and the many debated ways one could apply it), there's the forget bias, there's weight initialization, there's ... You get the idea.

If you use `keras.layers.recurrent.LSTM` however, bam, you get an opinionated version of these for free.
Initialization is Glorot uniform for most of the weights but then orthogonal[2] for the inner weights.
The forget bias is set to one - as I hope every library has by default now but wasn't the case for some time.
Dropout is variational inference based dropout - recent, likely what you want, and zero complexity.

At some point you'll likely want to learn about all the details - and this provides a smooth easy transition for that as you go "wait, what's a Glorot?" - but for getting your feet wet and/or solving a specific task, "best practices included" seems the best combination. I've successfully recommended this to high school students and they've been up and running with neural networks in short order!

Given all of this, whilst I'm a researcher who works on fiddly novel architectures that require some pretty specific features so use Chainer at work, I turn to Keras for my fun side projects as it keeps me sane and happy :)

Full disclosure, I've committed examples to the Keras codebase and know Francois in person.

holy sampling bias Batman! First line of the article:

The rest is just more of this biased dude's opinion. Save your time.
While i would say thats a non issue in webdevelopment and scripting, i agree that compared to others its just slow
I find myself doing this on Youtube when I watch certain videos, to avoid having similar videos as recommendations.

I suppose the feature was supposed to help one discover videos they could be interested in, but I now actively avoid watching a number of them with a logged-in session.
Oh and he isn't stealing... this would count as a view for them on YouTube and they get the revenue not him... if anything he is driving tonnes of views to them all at once.

Those who rip the video and claim to be the creator on fbook is where you should aim your anger.
This it what I was thinking, it is going to be difficult (and too late) to demonstrate expertise in 2024 when Elon is putting together the first Red Dragon mission and you'll want to be able to say "Hey, check out this self assembling Mars Habitat and Greenhouse thing we've been prototyping."
Yes. I disabled my mobile ad blocker, and then the Redit AMP pages started working for me.
Your computer can't simply remember the certificate that was used for the last connection, because then sites can never change their certificates (which would be a huge issue).
I see nobody has mentioned my favorite fact about him: while the rovers were designed to have a top speed of 8mph, Gene Cernan pushed his to 11.2 mph, more than a 40% increase of the maximum speed.

If 11.2 mph sounds slow to you, he also set another speed record: highest speed attained by any manned vehicle, 24,791 mph or almost 40,000 kilometers per hour, on Apollo 10's return to Earth.

Also, prior missions didn't go more than 3 miles from the LM, but Cernan pushed his to go five miles away. This meant that if the rover failed - remember, this thing had driven on the moon exactly twice at this point - he would have had to walk five miles to the LM in a bulky, heavy spacesuit, in unforgiving conditions on the surface of the Moon.
It seems like a straightforward relation. Less self-filtering results in more honesty. Honesty is often not what people want to hear, and that includes profanity.
Great read (takes 2 hours).

DV doesn't do legal identity. It does domain verification. And that's exactly what your blogger wants. A secure connection without domain verification means you can be trivially MitM'd.
Like you, I'd love to pass a simple minimalist string to a Javascript code to render images client-side. My more recent "Create-a-Lace" does just that, dynamically generating all the .svg images using client-side Javascript. However, I've yet to see browsers correctly render shadows, without which the diagrams lose depth. When that hurdle is overcome, I may well extend this concept to all lacing methods.

In the meantime, I do indeed need to resort to some 600+ individual .png images in order to render each of the 50+ lacing methods with their many variations and multiple numbers of eyelet pairs.
That's why it's up to the browser to distinguish them.
because you can do it faster!

yeah i had a discussion with a friend recently to this end. they were making a bunch of arguments against the internet that seemed to just as easily apply to the printing press.
The blog post links to a tweet and that tweet has a couple more details. The new keras is going be tensorflow-only and build on top of tf.contrib.layers (so a complete rewrite).

Sure, the AMP page looks much cleaner because it lacks the ads, side bars, and other junk that the Washington Post puts on their normal page. But they want that junk. If everyone on laptops and desktops starts using your trick, the Washington Post will adapt and find a way to put the same junk on the AMP page. Then we're back to square one.

As far as I can tell, your method of viewing a nice clean page depends on your trick not becoming popular!
OP is talking about DV certificates. Showing the verified legal identity for EV certificates is correct behavior, otherwise there's not much point to having one.

Lots of people pointing out this was likely automated and provided no proof of customer benefit, etc, all of which may be true in this instance. I do have a similar story that impressed me, however. Three years ago I was in the market for my first 3D printer and was looking for a specific model, but the manufacturer had a long delay for shipping. I tweeted asking if anyone knew where I could get one fast. A competitor quickly replied telling me they could ship me their printer within 48 hours. But that wasn't the end of it, they then proposed that they would print anything I wanted and take photos of it for me to show the quality, which I took them up on. Emailed them a file, and pretty quickly got emailed back photos of the print in progress, and then another email showing the final print close up so I could see how well it came out. Pulled out my credit card then and there.
Geez. "Up to 10 times a day". There is food for thought...
Kind of depends on where you are coming from. There are many rural areas where other types of services just will not or cannot serve(even cell coverage is non-existent)

Plus these are low earth orbit, so the latency will be less than that of services like Xplorernet
I can't speak for Google, but there are several reasons. Docker and k8s are not multitenant, so if you want to build a public k8s cloud you need a tenant layer under it. That layer could also be containers (e.g. LXD), but then you're talking about secure nested containers which was not really available in November 2014.
Not new, but How To Solve It: Modern Heuristics by Michalewicz & Fogel, is a classic.
Thanks, I appreciate your view! That's how it strikes me as well; that Google provides unparalleled sticks and carrots towards publishers that will end up undoing those same publishers, while they (publishers) volunteer to go along and aid in the process! (Maybe they have little choice in the race to get traffic?)

In other words, Google seems like a very powerful gatekeeper of content that ends up consuming the content providers. Smacks of an abuse of their position.

Not a huge fan of this to be honest. From my perspective as a user, I don't want businesses I have no involvement with contacting me out of the blue. It's not quite spam, but I would treat it largely the same.

I'm also unsure that it's a good long term strategy for the business. It may generate some customers, but building a customer base on people who have A) shown themselves to be relatively fickle in choosing a host and B) have a tendency to use public channels to raise issues strikes me as a unstable base.

And conversely the UK previously benefitted from the enormous negotiating power of the EU block, an economy that every nation in the world would like to trade with (for perspective, in 2015 the UK contributed 17% of EU total GDP). In fact Canada and the EU just completed negotiations on CETA to exactly that effect, a deal the UK could have taken advantage of if it was in the EU.

I contend that the economic costs of going it alone are far more profound.

Though I find it classically British that they would see themselves as so important that they feel they can negotiate better trade terms than the entirety of the EU. I guess they just can't shake off the feeling that they should be a superpower, if only someone would notice! ;) ;) ;)

There is really no reason to argue that, more money does not mean more quality of life. Especially its very different if you look below to the IT bubble.

Had a chance to buy some SpaceX stock and passed because I didn't see a path to liquidity with the large capital requirements to get to Mars. Not for everyone, but satellite internet is the ultimate power law play and SpaceX is in a great position to make it a reality. However, even if it is successful, they burn cash for 20 years with no way to cash out.

For a country about to have so many elderly people, I think the elevators are hard to reach and the floors shouldn't have been made of hard shiny/slippery marble. And it's actually quite expensive to get around if you start counting.

Why do there have to be moral arguments? We want a particular outcome and can make it happen. If people in other countries want the same outcome then they can make it happen there.
There is a reimplementation of the Python based server in Rust going on right now. The Python version has proven really slow in places, and Rust is probably a great answer to shortcomings in Python performance without having to change semantics much.
That gets you decently far, especially with small JSON responses. You can't filter with any tree display though, which is what I normally reach to jq for. Being able to filter an array of objects down to only one property in each object is invaluable to me.

For example, in a JSON payload that has an array of 15 objects, I would like to see all IDs of those objects. The output would be something like [1230, 134, 65, 99]. I like looking at that vs scrolling and collapsing a bunch of objects.
As I remarked elsewhere, I actually find AMP an excellent and speedy experience. I read articles on a mobile connection in India primarily and I now invariably click AMP news story options vs. others

What is spam by the US definition?
Before man walked on the moon, it wasn't long before man first flew in a heavier-than-air apparatus, and before that it wasn't long before nobody has ever set foot on the South Pole. You can keep going. And do define "cope". We had two world wars and we almost annihilated each other in 1962 and then once in the 1980s. No, I'm not saying that if we explored space, world wars wouldn't happen. Yes, I'm fully aware that space exploration is in a way a byproduct of military endeavors.

Consider why sports exist. They are also a (cultural) byproduct of military endeavors. Sports bring us a variety of benefits, including things like giving people meaning, making them bond with each other, helping maintain a healthy lifestyle, and lifting many kids out of poverty. There is a role for something like that---for exploring places like space. Consider also human (primate) psychology and how team sports can satisfy urges we would otherwise want to unleash in more destructive way on each other---and do so in a positive, constructive way. I wouldn't be surprised that in an alternative timeline where sports don't exist our newspapers would be filled with a lot more grizzly headlines on a daily basis. Consider now that we're living in an alternative/dystopian timeline where one of the most fascinating sports (exploring the unknown) had mysteriously nearly disappeared. Purely as sport, space exploration would have been of a sufficient benefit to pursue in my opinion. But of course, it is a lot more than just a sport.
I'd argue the future isn't just federation but bridging. We have already seen repeated attempts on the client side to abstract IM platform - Pidgin being the largest, but a ton of effort was invested into the Telepathy framework for about a decade.

Server-side transparent interoperability like Riot has with several services, however, seems extremely promising as a way to break that cycle.

IMO its hard for people coming from a country without proper social security standards to understand why we are happy to pay for those.

Personally i dont mind earning less, i am close to 30 and have no financial pillow or anything. So far i just enjoyed life and spent money as i wanted to. If i get unemployed or sick i have nothing to worry, which is something i happily pay for.

I also enjoy the fact that i know people who live in my country have mostly a good life. Have enough to eat & get taken care of. I see how a different world view makes this irrelevant, but personally i feel this is worth a lot. Makes the environment generally more nice.
And if lyric sites hosted original content, I might have felt for them. I think Google is overreaching in many ways, but not in instances like this where the content itself is such a commodity.

Ethics and morality aside (Can you really divorce them from the political economy, though), what worked at a particular context at a particular time doesn't necessary entail that such arrangement will work forever. Different stage in social and economic development calls for a different model.

I recommend Jonathan Tepperman's book "The Fix" [1]. His chapter on Korea is, in my point of view, fair, forgiving and sympathetic towards Chaebol system.

He divides the development in Korea into three periods: Dictatorial development (which I think what you call cooperation b/w private enterprise and government) 1962~1987 and democratization 1987~1997 and liberalization 1997~. I think he presents a case of what would've worked in a cheap labor export economy wouldn't work well in a post-industrial advanced economy, and how the country should move on.

A few publicly held companies with multiple classes of stock have tanked. Zynga (remember Farmville?) is one. Their shareholders are suing the directors for insider trading; the insiders sold around $12 and the stock then crashed to around $3. Groupon is another. Their stock dropped over 75%. Management lost a shareholder lawsuit and paid out $45 million to shareholders.

If a company goes into any form of bankruptcy, the insider control goes away. That's why Ford Motor Company didn't go bankrupt like GM and Chrysler - the Ford family would lose control. So their financial management is more conservative than the other auto companies.
We do plan to expose predictions for you within Cardiogram. The biggest barrier is that any predictions relating to a health condition (like atrial fibrillation) are FDA-regulated, so there's a high level of scientific validation that must happen first.
> Most large Korean companies are family-owned or family-controlled, and most are corrupt. An unusually high percentage of the heads of these companies have criminal records for financial crimes, compared to other developed economies.

> Presidents of South Korea have often justified their pardons of criminal CEOs by stressing the consequences for the economy. Fortunately, those excuses are less widely accepted than they used to be.

FWIW, similar justifications were brought out when HSBC was caught laundering drug-money, when LIBOR was found to be manipulated etc.
