> On the other hand, if a framework "correctly" implements the underlying statistical theory/principals of deep learning, shouldn't I get the same results regardless of whichever framework I use?

That is about right provided that 1) you use the same initial values and hyper-parameters, and 2) you can implement the same network with all frameworks. Issue 2) is complicated. Some networks are easy to implement in one framework can be hard or even impossible in another framework. Here "hard" can mean two opposite things: lack of flexibility (which disallows you to construct a certain topology) or excessive flexibility in the framework (which takes too many steps and care to construct a topology). Which framework to use depends on your goal and skill level. For starters, keras is usually easier.
I got access to the Facebook version, and as far as I can tell they are not linked. I added a photo to Facebook stories and it didn't show up in Messenger.

That's an annoying move.

> The work culture in America is toxic for the workers, requiring job hopping, long hours, and relatively little gain

These are quite the sweeping claims you're making for all ~125 million american workers.

There are so many factors to consider, yet you make such broad assumptions without a trace of evidence or logic to backup your narrow-minded claims.
Question for jordwalke or any Facebookers around: how's Reason's adoption inside of Facebook relative to OCaml? The hypothesis around the syntax seems to be that it's more approachable for Javascript programmers – are you noting a significantly faster onboarding time?
That's a fair comment, but how many libraries does a typical Python projects use? I'm going to go with 100-150,the index needed will be under 100MB.

JavaScript projects tend to have more dependencies, but those tend to be smaller and will have a smaller index.

Solving this 'problem' would lose Kite money, so I don't fault them for not attempting it.

I hope this would give an accurate result. People might say one thing and do something else when they have to actually shell out the money...
> My team has (real) equity and I like to believe they see the worth of the product.

You're paying your team in Bison Dollars: their compensation has value if and only if the world-domination scheme goes off without a hitch. But that's a big if. The value of the product won't be clear until it goes to market, but the value of the time they put in is lost forever irrespective of the market value of your finished product. Meanwhile, your team's landlords won't accept that equity as rent payment.
If you're a contractor understand also that they would be paid less both because of the pay cut and hours cut and so recruiters outside a firm would not get the commission they wanted. There is a markup on your hourly rate so lowering the rate and hours lowers their profits in two ways.

With salary it's similar except the hours do not come into play.
I wonder what the effects on our society would be if we had a national three month summer holiday. No one in school, no one at work. Fascinating to think about!
Huh? He said he meets up for beers with his long-time friends. It's not his friends chastising him for this, it's his cow-orkers or managers. Sounds like he needs to look for a new job to me. The best thing to do in a case like this is to find a new job, and time your giving notice at the old job so that it's right in the middle of a big crunch. Of course, don't bother working very hard during this 2 weeks, if they even keep you around. If anyone complains, tell them they're lazy if they're not willing to pick up the slack for you leaving and work 20 hours a day. Assholes.
You might be getting trolled. As a guy who used comp time fairly and honestly, if I had to leave early the next day for car repair or I left early today to attend kids school conferences or a choir concert or if I know I'm gonna VPN in tomorrow because a kid is sick today, I'll crank things up a bit and reply to emails at 8pm or whatever to show off. I wonder how many of your "hard working" coworkers posting at night left at 2 for a dentists appointment that may or may not exist or have other similar scheming going on.

I've never really understood this viewpoint. Why would I care what the company was doing or where it was going? We're just wage earners, earning a living. It's simple: they give me money, I give them time. What they choose to do with my output is their concern. Why care? You don't own the company, not even a tiny fraction (stock options aren't ownership until you excercise, which for most people is never). Your only going to be there a few years, and they'll drop you the first chance they can get where they don't need you. It's like selling an orange. If you're a fruit stand, do you care what your customers will do with the fruits of your labor?

What matters to me, is my own working conditions: work/life balance, salary and specifics of the project I am working on: ratio of coding vs fixing other people's messes, dev environment, ease of development and being empowered to write lots of code and functionality, as well as positive feedback from managers and co-workers.

New release for Hadoop killer Pachyderm
You know, at first I thought this was a silly question, but as I think about it, there's a lot of merit to your point.

I've been thinking about it, and this is where I've landed.

Most companies develop technology as a competitive advantage these days, certainly any large company. Walmart has innovated a lot in the supply chain management space, but most people don't consider Walmart a tech company. It's a company that uses technology to deliver goods and services cheaper, more reliably, etc. This is essentially true for Ford also. People generally don't buy a Ford because of any technological innovation. So even though it is Ford's technology that lets them deliver an affordable, reliable car, people don't think of Ford as a tech company.

Whereas Tesla's primary focus is on developing new technology. Their product is not really cars; their real product is inventing and applying new scientific knowledge. The car is a way to fund that research, i.e., it's the opposite of a traditional car company where research is a way to sell cars. Elon Musk has said that Tesla is a battery company, not a car company. His stated goal of Tesla is to "is to change the way the world uses energy at an extreme scale."

So, that feels like a legitimate difference to me. But I think you're actually right that it's a tech company mostly just because the founder is Elon Musk, insomuch as he is the one driving the focus and vision of the company. That is, he is the one saying Tesla is a battery company instead of a car company.

A more interesting comparison to me would be Volvo. I don't know if it's still true, but for decades Volvo was a leader in passenger safety. They had the first 3-point seat belt, first side impact airbags, first blindspot detection system, among others IIRC. I'm still not sure they'd be considered a tech company, in that they were using the safety innovation primarily to drive sales of cars. But I think it's a bit more nebulous. If they'd had a marketing-savvy CEO who proclaimed, "Volvo is a safety innovation company, not a car company," I don't know. :)
I also have javascript disabled, and selectively enable it for websites as required. For me it's less about security and more about disabling annoyances e.g. assisted scrolling and such.

On the security point, there are some answers out there relating to javascript in tor [0]. Basically it's not a risk per se, but it does increase your risk surface area.

Downvoted because you took a simple statement to extreme and then argued with that. The author said it supports many platforms - and it does. It might support your microcontroller - and it might. But of course you can find counter examples - and it doesn't change anything. There are also platforms you can't program in C, but you're not making fun of that for some reason?
Why would you be judging?

Right now I'm booked until October. I don't want to make commitments beyond roughly 6 months in advance, but I certainly could.
How did you conclude this? Through experimentation or reasoning?
This article is wrong.

1. Manufacturing has to be outsourced to cheaper labour countries.

2. Those affected by the outsourcing should be put on welfare and/or retrained.

Unelma Platforms Launches SaaS-Based Security Platform: USecureMe.net
Unelma Platforms announced the launch of its new IT security platform, uSecureMe.net. uSecureMe is a web application with a set of straightforward and easy to use tools for any security professionals. The web application developed by Unelma team can be utilised both in traditional format (e.g., single use) and is also available in SaaS (Software as a service) setup.

uSecureMe can do many security-related tasks: domain lookup, hash generation, virus scan (with more than 50+ commercial virus software available to use), bulk credit card checks and validation and much more. For example, uSecureMe can check malicious codes written in HTML, CSS, PHP and other source files; it can also generate robustly, scan open ports (to see which ports are open and which are closed), etc.

Well, are the USA really not an autarky Internet wise ? Of course it's theoretically open to other countries services but let the proof be in the pudding: which are the important services or sites used in the US and not made in USA ? (just a thinking experiment, of course I remember there are reasons. There may also be reasons for Chinese)
> 1. Because I was forced to? That's not why I'd want to.

You might find it pleasant. Who knows? Maybe you're a professional and you'd want to understand CL so that you can embrace and extend the system you've inherited.

> Examples?

Conditions and restarts. Incremental compilation. CLOS. Numerics.

> 4. Sure, that's true for every language and tool. Choose it when it helps you, don't when it doesn't. But why would CL help me more than another language?

CL is more like a system than a compile-and-run language. The compiler, debugger, standard library, and platform libraries all live in the image. You build the program as you go, incrementally, and can inspect it while it is running.

An error doesn't halt the entire process... instead condition handlers can either choose a restart (including asking the user what to do) and the execution continues. That's where you can attach to a remote image running on a server, notice that there's an error with a particular request, inspect the entire stack, fix the problem, and continue the request. No need to crash or anything like that. If a more hands-off approach is necessary then a handler can be written to choose an appropriate restart.

CLOS is great. You can change the class definition in a running image and the instances will incrementally update without recompiling and restarting the program (and rebuilding all of that state).

You can develop the language you need with these tools instead of using the language you've chosen (or inherited). Need an interactive prover? Try ACL2. Experimenting with sequent calculus? Want a language built around recursive fractals?
I have HyperX Cloud headphones, they're a gaming headset. The mic has nice quality sound, I use it a lot for conferencing. The sound is balanced (a lot of gaming headsets are bass heavy, these are not) and most importantly, they're very, very comfortable. I can wear them all day no problem.

Back when I was in University, we had an Amdahl mainframe with Unix running under VM. The directory structure included an awful lot of source code. I remember porting source for lex and yacc to my PC-XT running Borland's Turbo C. I assume it was licensed to Universities and source was included under an educational clause, though I'm not exactly sure.

I wonder which version of unix I was using. This would have been around December of '87.
Your position sucks, dude. Everyone should get more, not less. So yes, non smokers should be getting 'smoke' breaks that they can use for a walk, for example. And everyone will be happier.
Currently the only way to use it is via zinc which only supports a few chips and the thumb eabi which is currently in "tier 3" support with no provided binaries or assurances of stability.

Basically, there are experimental ways to get it to work, but it's a huge ways away from being useful in a production environment.

More or less. You are supposed to use it to make games that use Amazon infrastructure so Amazon can make money of that, but you could make one that doesn't for totally free as well.

(Of course their non-legal texts don't mention the "don't use Amazon competitors" clause all that explicitly, only explaining that yes, you can use it without online features or software running on hardware you own)
I was laid off new years. I've been doing development for 10 years and specializing in salesforce for 7 years. I haven't found the right position yet, but I know I've been burned out for a little bit now. I've been considering low-paying metal-working jobs, but the sad reality is unemployment pays more. Unemployment runs out in June. I'm kinda indifferent whether I find work. I've started the foreclosure process on my house. This may be the perfect time to just take some time and explore the US. So while I haven't found work yet, the work I have done has put me in the mentality that that's ok. Thanks for reading.
Chris Stucchio's point is different from that of the article. The problem is that the word "bias" is overloaded, and used in two different ways. When ProPublica uses the word bias, they mean that one race is affected in a systematically different way than another race. When Chris Stucchio uses the word bias, he means a statistical method which has a built in bias to achieve a particular result. It is quite possible for both to be true: the statistical methods have no built in bias, but their prediction ends up making different predictions for different races. I find the most reasonable explanation to be that society itself has a racial bias, and society itself is the data generator.
To 2 and 4.

Better exception handling (conditions and restarts), advanced OOP capabilities, proper macros which are convenient to use (pretty much requires a language to be homoiconic), image-based development with ability to hot-swap any code in a running program, including but not limited to full class redefinitions without losing data. All that with resulting code able to achieve close-to-C++ performance thanks to very good (commercial and open-source) compilers. Not to mention the stability of the language thanks to the ANSI standard.
Well, it will stop your local ISP. It does nothing to stop the ISP servicing your VPN provider from snooping on your web activity.

Oh, not to mention the possibility of them blocking well known VPNs "to prevent piracy." Many open WiFi providers already do this.
The article does not prove the headline in any way. Towards the end it mentions a couple of experts who believe in this premise, but doesn't actually provide anything of substance to back up that belief.
I often joke that I have to take vacations to get real work done. My company like many does not allow vacation to be rolled over so, I usually wind up taking off the last two weeks of December. This is truly when I get my thinking done - I can spend the entire day from morning to night looking at code without any interruptions.

Totally. I only have about 4-6 of focused mental energy before I'm just taking up space and feeling sleepy or antsy. So these days I head home after six hours in the office. Honestly I hope to eventually get to the point here that if I need a break, change of pace, or am just "done" I can do what makes sense... Take a nap, work from home, whatever.
4 AWESOME BALLOON LIFE HACKS
Walmart already uses RFID in the backroom and for palettized loads, but not for stock that customers handle.

In my own work with RFID, the main problem we have is (after disregarding the cost of the transponders) is getting someone to put a transponder sticker on every single widget - stores already stopped using those "pricing guns" when they adopted UPCs/EANs, they don't want to regress backwards.

The solution is universal adoption of the EPC RFID system, but that requires all suppliers and logistics infrastructure to also adopt it. It's happening... just very slowly.
>These days? In all of human history your likelihood of being a slave was pretty high. Talk about real meaningless. If anything we live in a rare break from slavery which is an outlier.

Slavery and drudgery are not what make work meaningful or meaningless.

>I think people need to learn some real expectations of what work means and perhaps to read Studs Turkel's Working before they get to complain about their cush white collar jobs being these horrible things.

As someone who's work in factories, grain elevators, grocery, retail, and currently work in software development I can tell you the meaningless of modern work is the same regardless of the drudgery involved. The fact you equate drudgery with meaningless work shows you have no clue as to how the working classes operate (being that I come from the working class I have some insights to impart here so I'll try to be patient with you). What makes work meaningless for the vast majority of humans is the total lack of control or the inability to perceive the end goal (ex. a factory assembler who'll never see the final product or that they have no say what the product should be or even if it's worthwhile to produce it).

The lack of goals or any kind of connection to our work is what drives many people to quit or change jobs regardless of whether it's in an office or in a kitchen or on a factory line. Churn happens because people are intentionally left to be nothing more than trained animal in their task. Punch in, make quota, punch out. And repeat, forever. So, I'm not exactly sure what part of the physical comfort matters when the psychological deprivation weighs as hard as a herniated disk does on a laborer (I know both have similar impact thanks to my mother). And I can say that both physical and psychological pains and deprivations are hell from my own experiences. It's not to say that gilded cages aren't pretty but they're still cages.

That makes no sense. The original text doesn't use preformatted line breaks and is wrapped to the screen width, quite readably. You're not fixing or improving anything in the quoted version of it by code-blocking it. You're just making work for yourself by sticking in manual line breaks and indenting, and making work for the reader who may have to scroll horizontally if their screen width is narrow, plus triggering a switch to a monospaced font.

You can quote a long paragraph that is represented as one big line very simply like this:

So to paraphrase, you are asking HN: "How can I detect which workers are easiest to exploit?"

I don't know your exact situation, but extrapolating from experiences at early stage startups I worked at:

1) Hire more people. Instead of asking people to give 110%, hire 1.10⨉ the number of people.

2) Give employees the same stock (in the same class as the founders) not some second class options.

3) Get organized. A lot of crunch time occurs because tasks are not well defined, dependencies not identified etc... And write things down, that way you can read a document instead of bothering someone on vacation to ask a question.

They're not suggesting Germans adopt an American-style work culture, but an American-style tolerance for risk and failure.

I'm not sure failure should be praised, but it should be accepted without judgment, and entrepreneurs that haven't succeeded should be lauded for trying. Failure is a necessary part of success. It's cliché, but people really do fail their way to success. So why stigmatize it if it'll discourage entrepreneurs from trying a sufficient number of times in order to be successful?
If you load untrusted code dynamically, it strikes me as wrong to assume anything about its capabilities. Even more so "at the language level". Untrusted code can do anything unless you sandbox it.
