I think this is true in some cases and not true in others.

I met a woman from South Korea who was taught all drill and no concepts. She was solving differential equations in high school but had no intuitive concept of derivative and integral or what they were used for. In fact, she had no interest in math. She was just a diligent student focused on getting into the top university. She was obviously trained the way you describe.

I have also personally, in the United States, been in math classes where many students suffered because they couldn't string together correct calculations consistently enough to validate and reward their high-level understanding. They learned a lot of the words and pictures, could explain what an integral was for, and could listen to a lecture and feel like they got it, but if you asked them to apply what they knew to a real problem, they responded with a kind of rueful helplessness. To them, mathematics was like magic in the Harry Potter universe: anybody could explain it, but it worked for some people and not for others, for reasons that seemed to them to be innate.

Each system stressed one aspect at the expense of the other, and in each system, there were many students who picked up both, but also many students who only learned the part that was stressed by their teachers. It was certainly the case in my classes that a student who only learned the concepts, without the mechanics, was unlikely to progress much farther in the math curriculum.

A balanced method treats the two aspects as complementary, each enabling the other. Treating one as the hero and the other as the villain might make sense locally as a response to a warped system, but it can easily become a warped approach in itself.

Google Kubernetes Engine still runs Kubernetes. I never looked at the Borg or Omega source code and had never been worked on a Google team. It is my understanding that there are some key insights developed from Borg and Omega that became part of the core concepts of Kubernetes that gives it an edge over other open-source orchestration systems. These include grouping containers into pods and using label selectors.
Stars are useless and don't mean anything except a lot of people have starred the repo.

Anyway, it's not too hard to see why they have so many commits: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/commits/master?after=Y3Vyc...

They're taking "make lots of tiny commits" advice to an almost comical extreme.

And they also have terrible commit messages.

Transfer learning works pretty well for image classification related tasks.

Some other areas are much more challenging. For example, in natural language processing tasks you will sometimes see some benefit from using pretrained embeddings, but it is very task and model specific. There's some exciting work going on in this area though.
Driver malfunctions are common, too. Apart from that, I think my last Windows-induced BSOD was in Windows 2000, indeed. (And I don't think the blue screens in Win9x really count, as they are often a very different phenomenon than a kernel panic.)

I did do it all over again (at a different company) and tried Google. And it does blow AWS out of the water.

I don't regret hand-installing Kubernetes on AWS, if only because I know a lot more about how it works now. But I rather just spin it up with GKE.
Nice one! Thanks

While I do agree on following a solid mid/long term strategy to generate sustainable growth, a Startup can often benefit immensely from hacking an unconventional marketing channel at an early point in its trajectory. If that doubles or triples your signups even for a short time, it can be immensely helpful to get investors to take you more seriously while you're grinding out the longterm strategy. It also helps to get feedback from real users while you're still in the development phase.

More seriously though: others have pointed out that finetuning is pretty popular in some subfields, but it's just one hammer in a of a whole toolbox of techniques which are necessary to make neural nets train (even when you have a tonne of data). Standardisation, choice of initialisation, and choice of learning rate schedule all come to mind as other factors which seem simple, but which can have a huge impact in practice.

Of course, each tool has its limitations. The most obvious limitation of finetuning is that you need a network that's already been trained on vaguely similar data. Pretraining on ImageNet is probably not going to help you solve problems where the size of objects matters, for example, because most ImageNet performance tends to benefit from scale invariance.

I wish you luck with nanonets.ai, but I think it's irresponsible to market this as the "1 weird trick" to bring data efficiency to neural nets.
I work at home but if the company gave me a chef that would be rad.
"easier". Just pull apart a toaster oven. Reconfigure it. Rewire it. Get some paste. Make a stencil. You know. Easy peasy. Get the software. Learn how to use it. Get the stencils printing. Easy. Oh, you've got registration problems. Come on! Its easy! So much easier than spending one minute ordering a through hole component.

You see, its not actually "easier". Its "easier" to you because you already have the equipment and are already doing it. Hey! I already know this! This is easy!

Having a basic scaffolding in place on a hosted cloud and making sure your devops scripts are up to snuff is a good idea when you don't know how much infrastructure you need, because then when the situation calls for it you can fire up a new node on-demand.

But unless you're still "in the garage" and a couple of DigitalOcean droplets are good enough, it's going to be much, much cheaper and usually much wiser to run your core infrastructure on your own colocated bare metal.

I've seen companies increase their server expenses by ~$1M/yr by moving everything to EC2, and they sit around congratulating themselves for it because now "they're in the cloud". There's no reason to do that!

Little humorous tangent: an AWS rep told someone I've worked with that Amazon really wanted to help them secure better pricing, because as new CFOs come from self-hosted companies and into AWS-dependent companies, the CFO's eyes bug out when they see the Amazon bills and EC2 becomes the first thing on the chopping block.

Script your stuff out in Ansible or something similar, run it on your own hardware, and use GCloud/EC2 as secondary data centers for failover/backup/support/emergency bursts/whatever. You can have the flexibility without paying through the nose.
How did this fail?

I'm still trying to understand this, and I worry that much of it is due to my personal failings. I think I'm much worse than most people at making headway on problems when I know that my understanding is flawed, and I rationalize this as part of my moral code as a sort of "first do no harm". But I'm scared to discard my moral instincts for sake of convenience, out of fear that I wouldn't know where to stop.

In this case, I couldn't find an interpretation of the paper that matched my interpretation of the sample code, and I couldn't find an interpretation of either that seemed plausibly correct. The flaws in each seemed so obvious to me that I had to presume that I was not interpreting either correctly, and I concluded that I must be missing something essential.

There wasn't much in the way of test structure other than eyeing up the results and declaring it to be OK. I was scared that if I inadvertently implemented something incompatible with both the paper and the code, my errors would never be caught. None of the grad students seemed to fully understand the paper, and the professor wasn't familiar with the R code. My clumsiness with the terminology of the field made it difficult for me to communicate with the professor.

I feel terrible about the whole thing, but don't know what in particular I should have done differently.
I'd imagine they have:

- A significant number of engineers to build/run/maintain their application.

- A large(r?) number of sales/business folks to sell filters/advertising/promotion.

- A smaller number of accountants to handle the money.

- A large number of managers to manage the engineers, accountants and business folks.

- A moderate number of HR/recruiters to find more staff.

- A few people to handle various operations stuff (legal teams, people to deal with law enforcement requests and subpoenas etc.)

When you start to get big there's a surprising number of things you need to do.

No. In what world would Snapchat be paying the rates that you pay at your Denver colo center? Why is that even relevant? They pay what Google charges them, which is $0.08/GB egress. Probably less due to negotiated bulk discounts.
I read that as suggesting the problem wasn't lack of planning, but the guy with the story vision left the project.
It seems to have been completely polarizing. I thought the ending was great, and could not understand at all comments like 'blew off everything ever said about the direction'.
I wonder if they're still using Google AppEngine, or have moved to something lower level. GAE resolved a lot of its scalability and isolation issues thanks to Snapchat.

In a way, Snapchat was to GAE what Hotmail was to Windows NT back in the day — trial by fire.

One of the overlooked cool benefits of EVs imo, is that you can repurpose old batteries, even if they aren't suitable for the EV market. As a battery ages and loses capacity, say it goes down to only 50% of it's capacity when new, it may no longer be acceptable for use in a car but it could still be perfectly adequate as a back up power source in a house.

Don't knock it till you try it. You don't need to modify your toaster oven or any of that non-sense. I got a cheap $25 of Amazon and just use a stop watch and the toaster dial to set the temp by hand. There is really nothing to learn. Also ordering a stencil is just as simple as ordering PCBs now with the OSHStencil service.
Genuine question: Is anyone is the us ready for brute force?

When was the last time there was a brute force against an US administration that worked?

I'm French, so historically brute force for me means using force. Brutally. Right now I only see people marching and yelling. When's the last time that worked in the us?

I'm a little lost to understand what would work in the US to be honest. Culturally, here, what is the best way to overthrow?
Uhhh, I think you might have played a different Mass Effect 2 to everyone else - there aren't any racist terrorist groups in any Mass Effect game, unless you count the Reapers who are kind just genocidal in general.

That is abusive. You started counting from one not zero.
Aspose.Newsletter February 2017: More Than 100 Business File Formats APIs Suport
While I agree with your position in principle, I also come from a "legacy IT" world, the kind where systems are moved to public cloud because developers are several steps ahead of the DC admins, or because the CIO wants all net new dev to be on infrastructure he or she doesn't own. These are not "digital natives" (who have no excuse, imho). These are the thick, long tail or large businesses with aging infrastructure and a lack of willingness -- or ability -- to pay for top talent.

An additional point is that even the second tier PaaS/IaaS providers (like GE/Predix, for example) are trying to get out of the DC ownership business. There's no compelling reason for them to keep their own DCs when a) it's expensive to run & keep fresh, b) it's CapEx, and c) it costs them expensive heads to organize and manage everything.
I love apt, but the release policy isn't at all suitable for desktop use. You get stuck with the same bugs for at least 6 months, even if the developer has released a fix.
8 cents per GB is thus approximately $15 per Mbps (8 cents time 190)that Snap is paying, while Google is paying far less than 50 cents per Mbps.

Is my math off?
Twitching, that would make me rather upset, and maybe some host-file changes.

Though we did, in the same mess of network, have dc01-<domain> and dc02-<domain>.

Ironically, this "feature" prevented me from getting good access to Google's own services. I was only getting routed to a saturated Google datacenter (the NUQ range, e.g. nuq04s01-in-f1.1e100.net). When I just blocked all those servers, it detected that and sent me to another range of servers (LAX) that worked much faster... but I used Firefox every time I wanted to open Google Maps because that trick didn't work from Chrome!
Bioware included a very amusing conversation in Mass Effect 3 with recurring character Conrad Verner where they debate the absurdity of the change of ammo type. I usually don't go for this type of meta humor, but it worked here.

Yea, I don't think higher estate taxes will change income distribution at all.

Cerberus is a human-survivalist paramilitary group led by the enigmatic Illusive Man. Cerberus' core belief is that humans deserve a greater role in the galactic community, and that the Systems Alliance is too hamstrung by law and public opinion to stand up effectively to the other Citadel races. Cerberus supports the principle that any methods of advancing humanity's ascension are entirely justified, including illegal or dangerous experimentation, terrorist activities, sabotage and assassination. Cerberus operatives accept that these methods are brutal, but believe history will vindicate them. Nevertheless, both the Systems Alliance and the Citadel Council have declared Cerberus to be a terrorist organization and will prosecute identified Cerberus agents accordingly.

Yeah correct. Even with text, there is some exciting work going on. We are in process of building a text based model and should put it up in this week that should work for multiple problems.
By "cloud computing expert", do you mean Amazon sales shill? It's weird enough that someone on HN would just use that vague credential of "expert" in the first place, but this thread is ridiculous ('round here, usually we recognize experts when they say something along the lines of "Hi, I'm the guy discussed in the article...", or "Hi, I actually wrote that software 15 years ago...").

You know that Snap can hire more than 3 people, right? They can have people working on the infrastructure at the same time that someone else works on "the product" they want to build. That's what happened at Google, and as a side effect, they now have a cloud platform they can rent out.

There are some benefits to using cloud services in some cases. It's rare that 100% cloud is a wise deployment move, especially for companies that operate at Snap-scale.
Is the comparison to Google's investments a good benchmark? Sometimes it's better to make something custom than to buy from a big corporation doing a more general thing at 100x your scale.

States already rely on a variety of revenue sources, such as vehicle registration fees and tolls, in addition to gasoline taxes.

Ultimately I don't see how one could institute a fair system without converting all roads to toll roads (perhaps with variable pricing to manage demand).

Gasoline taxes are a reasonable proxy for "usage", so heavy users contribute more.

Registration fees treat everyone of the same make and model the same, be it a livery vehicle with six-digit annual mileage or a proverbial old-lady whose car is being driven around town twice a week. And one can't exactly levy a tax on kWh.
Don't get me wrong. At some point I'm definitely going to get into it. Get a SMD workstation proper. I'm just getting ranty with you saying its "easier". The word is so often abused today.

It's easier now to order the ideal component. My original point is the day is fast approaching where there will be no more precision transistors in through hole. Even second hand or NOS. That's the day that getting an SMD setup will become easier for me. And then I'll get into it.
You're absolutely right that -Werror should not be the default in release tarballs, and I should have included that.

Interesting that the article doesn't cover the biggest driver. Government regulations and legal rulings have piled a huge amount of employee obligations on employers over the last 50 years.

Contractors aren't necessarily cheaper, but the "more predictable costs" come from fewer regs to follow.
