When using DL, perhaps you might try to do a downsampling which would suite your DL?

I mean yes it would be awesome to use your network to upsample stuff but that is apperently hard. What about upsampling something DL friendly and trying to reduce the downsamplesize as the challange?

If you enjoy reading about electronic warfare, it is worth reading Steve Blank's "Secret History of Silicon Valley".

Here's the bit about moths [1]:

> John said, “Listen, you can hear the jammer.” The what? “The jammer,” he said, “Watch the moths.” It turns out the moths, through evolution, had developed their own electronic countermeasures to jam the bat radar. They had developed ultrasonic receivers and ultrasonic jammers and physical countermeasures. When they picked up the bat radar illuminating them by sensitive hairs on their antennas, they would send out their own little squirt of ultrasonics by rubbing their legs together, jam the bat radar, and then they would immediately take evasive action and dive to the left and right.

> Through Darwinian selection over millions of years, these moths had developed an entire electronic warfare, electronic countermeasures, electronic countercounter-measures suite, and here was a guy in 1973 in Thailand who was figuring this stuff out. To be honest, it was my first insight that there was really a bigger picture.

> So, John’s point was, “I keep trying to tell officers way above me that there’s probably a ton we could learn from watching these natural systems. What we’re doing in the air war over the North is just nothing more than something that’s been going on in nature for millions of years, but I can’t seem to get anybody’s attention.” (Thirty years later MIT would develop the Insect Lab and work on swarm behaviors for UAV’s and robotics.)

Knowing student groups, it's not about making money, but a few smart undergrads showing other undergrads emerging fields and letting them get some hands-on experience.

A group like this has a DeCal (a student-led university-credit course), events, speakers, and probably a selected group that works on club leadership and consulting.
Case in point:

"So far so good - it seems unusual to our modern “memory is slow” mindset that the processor touches RAM every cycle, but this is from an age where processors and RAM were clocked at the same speed."

This page also shows that the 6502 happily did extra memory reads.

In fact, the memory had bandwidth to spare. http://www.6502.org/users/andre/osa/oa1.html#hw-io:

"The memory access is twice as fast as the CPU access, so that during Phi2 low the video readout is done and at Phi2 high the usual CPU access takes place"

I remember reading about a setup with two 6502s both running from the same single-ported RAM at full speed, but cannot find it.

I have built a few startups in the past, and am currently building 12 startups in 12 months at http://blog.12startupsin12months.in/ . Like the @nfriedly mentioned. You really have 2 questions. I always ask people to get their product validated with at least 20 customers. For this you probably just need a simple landing page asking for an email. Make sure you are building something that provides value.

The next part is actually building the app. I am a developer so my advice may be a bit biased. But, I would ask you to learn a front end framework. If you don't know an JS frameworks yet, I'd ask you to take a look at Elm. Once you have the first version out, and grows beyond your capabilities you can hire folks to work on it.

I'm curious then why Opbeat itself was never open source?

Interesting stories. Thanks for sharing.
Yup. And Elon had queued up that exact talking point roughly 3 hours before the launch. However, having watched this company for a while and Elon in particular, he is much more nuanced in what he says. All through SpaceX's life they have leveraged the customers expectations in order to do their own R&D on the customer's nickel. So when they weren't bringing back rockets they charged for the cost of the rocket and then on the now 'waste' rocket invested in using it to test recovery systems of various kinds. Losing the test vehicles is not a problem its cost was covered by the launch. Now that they have some pretty good understanding of recovery, they use 'flight proven' boosters as their test vehicles, bringing them in under different flight regimes using different recovery parameters. I really think it is a brilliant strategy and one that I admire. What I think about is if I was working for them the even more stuff I'd be doing to get even more data from the tests. (like a better video recovery system, which truth be told they very well may have, after all they are under no obligation to show us and their potential competitors what they are trying to improve and what they don't know)

Slightly off topic: I was very annoyed that this article didn't provide any links to Google's official statement/declaration about this change and when it's coming.

Of course it's possible to enjoy your job. I never said otherwise. If people weren't passionate about making games they'd never put up with crunch time. And certainly I've enjoyed caffeine-fueled multi-day hacking sessions.

I have never heard of anyone who claims to enjoy extended crunch time. There might be an outlier somewhere, but I doubt even that exists. At best there's a shared sense of exhausted accomplishment when you're finally done. (Unless you get laid off as soon as the game ships.)

Crunch is not why people make games. Crunch is the price you have to pay to keep making games. Or at least that's what the people who make the schedule say.
Yes, I totally agree S3 pricing can be complicated with IA, Glacier, RRS, etc.

And it also gets complicated when comparing network egress, when region to region and egress to different parts of the world are taken into consideration. And GCP is actually more complex in the sense because it charges different prices for different egress destinations and AWS in comparison is one price for all of the world.

The most challenging part of making this tool is instead of displaying tons of options and dropdowns, I try to simply enough so that people get a general idea of the cost comparison of three major cloud providers, but not too simple to distort the reality.

It's a bigger deal than it appears. The indemnity means that if Anthony told Uber before the deal that he stole trade secrets from Google, then Uber indemnifies him - ie pays for lawyers and any penalties. But there's no protection for the criminal piece of this, and if Kalanick knew about the theft, then he just committed a crime too. Uber interviewed their employees and lawyers, and created a list of people who saw and knew about the stolen files. Uber wasn't able to interview Travis because he is still grieving over his family loss, but they are scheduled to speak in the next 5 days and will say whether Travis saw and knew about the stolen files.

The parent post is likely talking about unwanted advances and sexual references, not "awkwardness." If having a crush on someone causes you to make uncomfortable sexual inneundos at them or suggest they should sleep with you, the the problem is your self control, not a question of grey areas.

That looks very promising! I was searching for systemwide EQ apps about a year ago (with the aim of cutting several dB across all frequencies, not actually using it as an EQ) and I don't think I saw that one.

I just gave it a try on my 2014 Moto X (which has had weird EQ-related bugs in some other apps) and it worked fine. I was able to make fine adjustments to audio whether it was playing from Firefox, YouTube, or my music app of choice.

Cash Loans No Debit Card
Faxing documents and doing lengthy paperwork were compulsory to get any loan. If you need a loan and don’t have enough time to spend, you can apply for cash loans no debit card without facing any bank hassles. That’s all you are required to do is complete a simple application form which requires few basic details like your address, contact info, bank details, employment status etc, and you have to submit the form. If details are confirmed then the loan is automatically transferred into your bank account with safe and sound in the time period of 30 days.

That's the thing. All claims of Alibaba's adoption of Vue comes from the author himself. I think it's reasonable to have doubt. I'm sure they use it. But to claim that they heavily invest in it may be exaggerated.
I disagree those are essential. Federated chains like Elements Alpha are also considered block chains but lack many of those properties. I think it really is the case that a "block chain" is merely a singly linked list with hash linkages.

I find it depends who I'm around. When I'm around people are geeks like me, who want to make things better/simpler, we just have fun talking. No one is seriously competitive, it's playful at most, it's just science nerds talking about their projects.

Today I was around a group of people who play this game called 'dick swinging', where they try to prove to the others how much better they are than the others while the others act like they don't notice while they think of a way 'get the high score'.

I'm not good at games like that. I just like to talk about science, tech, music, economics, food, etc.
All the old builds of Windows 10 listed were presumably grabbed via public Unified Update Platform (UUP) infrastructure or the Ecosystem Engagement Access Program (EEAP), but I haven't confirmed yet. It's common knowledge in the Windows enthusiast community that builds (yes, even arm64 desktop Insider builds) can be pulled from Microsoft via these channels. It's not confidential, and not useful to share with anyone other than a build vault like Beta Archive.

Debugging symbols for most of those builds are available on symsrv.

The Windows Mobile Adaption kit (like the OEM Preinstallation Kits, OEM Adaptation Kits) is shared with a similarly sized audience, which used to include self-attested Microsoft Partners. Again, not confidential. Just gated stuff.

The Shared Source stuff is a slight unknown here because it's not clear what was in the ZIP. I presume this was a sampling of materials shared via the Shared Source Initiative (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sharedsource/), none of which includes high-value intellectual property, cryptographic code, third-party code, etc. It could still be damaging but Microsoft has clearly calculated the risk here; this stuff is shared with mere community MVPs.

So with all this knowledge, it's hard to digest the "omg more exploits coming" and "Microsoft lost 32TB of private IP" angles in The Register write up. I don't think there's a story here, frankly.
Out of curiosity (I've never been to Silicon Valley, let alone worked there), are other tech hubs, or even other industries, that much better?

How about we all stop looking for reasons to be offended all the time and presume innocence and good faith until we actually do get a clearly expressed intent or do feel genuinely uncomfortable (as opposed to slightly annoyed)? I'm sure a lot of these situations can be explained by cultural differences or even language barriers such as in this case. English is the de-facto language of the tech scene, but that doesn't mean that everyone who joins in a discussion can be expected to master all the nuances of the language. It seems to be hard enough for Brits and Americans, just imagine how it is for us whose native language isn't English at all.

To be clear, I'm not talking about the harassment case here, I'm talking about the "call them women" comment.

I'd like to bring up another sort-of alternative: http://habitat.sh

It's not exactly in the same space as Nix, but not very far from it, either. In Habitat, you use a language that felt to me quite similar to Arch Linux's PKGBUILDs, but extended with container-specific things like service ports etc. Habitat outputs containers that can be started in various orchestration technologies, like Kubernetes or Mesos/Marathon.
If it's ends up being notably superior in multiple ways, and you already have a properly configured and flexible build toolchain in place (i.e. Webpack), adding support should be trivial. I haven't personally used it, but a quick search landed me on the bs-loader [0] repo, which claims to work with both OCaml and Reason files.

As I understand it, and I'm not very familiarized with Reason, the team behind the project is working hard to have a good interop story. We've seen the same thing with React's versioning scheme [1]! Going forward there shouldn't be horrible breaking changes, and in the cases where stuff must be broken, they appear to commit to providing a clear migration path that can be adopted gradually.

There's probably plenty of good use-cases for using something like Reason. Should it be used everywhere? No, certainly not. But having worked on a reasonably sized JavaScript web app, my experience has been that it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain as it grows. Even with something like Flow or TypeScript, you have to think very carefully any changes. Luckily, the JavaScript ecosystem has modularized everything quite heavily, so you can usually contain things that end up being "bad ideas" and gradually chip away at em.

The app I worked on wasn't even that large or complicated, so I have a very hard time wrapping my head around the challenges faced by engineers working on Facebook's scale.
