Ah, the famous, "I don't agree with it so it must be wrong" argument. I can see how the smart and well-reasoning people on HackerNews would use that. Yes...
Yeah, there's a 64-bit version now.
That's a very uncharitable reading of what I wrote. The topic of the conversation was GPU performance vs CPU performance. Despite being less flexible, the sheer quantity of execution units more than makes up for it.

But no, I suppose its more likely I was really saying GPUs aren't bounded by the limits of the universe.
Companies that act as OEMs for enterprises most likely have a larger footprint of Intel installs than Google. Any single companies usage of a product is dwarfed by how much effective installs a large OEM might have.

Maybe if Lenovo, Toshiba, Acer, Dell, etc all asked Intel to provide said blobs (and the threat was tangible) then they would probably reconsider.
I'll prefer utility over hype. One has to see how the community evolves around pytorch.
If internet access is a human right, which I believe the UN said it is? Well, then we could have special laws for internet archival? Much like we have laws that prevent the destruction of historical sites. It's not that anybody is making a quick buck at the expense of somebody else.
Sometimes I wonder why is the top-5 image classification task so difficult. If you are giving me 5 chances to look at an image and correctly classify it from ~1000 Imagenet classes, I can surely do better than 5-10% error rate.

Also, now that the top-5 error rate been brought down considerably, what is the next benchmark for the research community to beat? A new dataset, top-1 error rate on Imagenet?
I actually think it was written really well. It could have been better, of course. But I probably would have done a worse job at it.

I don't think GPUs are a particularly good solution for these, they aren't the future and won't be around for mass-deployment that much longer.
I think you mean you'll project it everywhere. I say this to my kids as well, not to signal anything but to engage their creativity. A lot of kids these days can't figure anything to do if they don't have a device in their hands. I had to routinely ride in a car for 8+ hours as a kid and mobile devices either didn't exist or were so expensive as to may as well not exist. A lot of my creativity today stems from techniques I developed in those times.

The fact that in India and China (very different cultures) there are a lot of female programmers doesn't say anything about cultural influences in the West. Being encouraged to do maths at age 5 is not the norm (regardless of gender).
It may not be a currency, depending how you choose to define that word, but it is certainly a fungible asset and a means of exchange. It acts both as a store of value and as method of transferring value from one party to another.

That argument is fine for initial investigation into a product, when you just want it to work so you can poke the features to see if they are adequate and suitable.

But the problem is people doing it that way and putting the result into production without any sort of security review.
Or if you feel you have to allow less secure defaults for initial setup (a distributed system needs to bind to something other than localhost so in those cases using that as the key won't work) make sure that a warning is displayed everywhere that an insecure default is still in operation, where "everywhere" includes to stdout when starting/refreshing services, or perhaps stderr, to log files, to the UI if you have one (on all displays not just those exposed to admin users).

The warnings don't stop the initial trial of a service, but are in-your-face enough that any self respecting admin will review the matter before making the service available on a public network (at least with real data and/or on machines/accounts with access to other securables).

Your users may request (in fact, some of them will demand) a setting that turns such warnings off without addressing the issues covered/ You might chose to include such a setting (at least then they make a conscious decision to not address the issues instead of later complaining your product was insecure without warning) or take the high ground and tell people who say "unless you let me get away with an insecure setup I'll use something else" that you;d rather they go use something else instead of potentially tarnishing your product by association when something goes wrong.

Of course like providing good documentation, this is extra work that you may find hard to get by your paymasters at crunch time...
> it's about time people stopped with the 'hello world' style examples

Unfortunately not having the initial "this is the core, look how simple it can be" example a lot of people will turn off.

> (and usually no documentation on how one should do it)

That is the issue. Good documentation is often the issue for many other reasons too. For commercial projects time is money and so often not available in sufficient quantity (at least for externally facing documentation that may be held to standards that internal materials are not so needs extra resource for review+rework). For unfunded work (for instance things that start out as personal projects and/or quick proofs of concept, or many community-only driven works) documentation often gets left because it isn't the interesting/sexy part.

I'm baffled as to why these anonymous engineers or any female colleague would be offended by his memo. Some of the responses are quite condescending, calling him a "confused, questionably informed kid". Wow.

His memo is clear and reasonable. His interviews are reasonable and respectful, he approaches the topic calmly and scientifically, the exact opposite to the reactionary anger.

The only part of the memo I can see that could cause a fuss is this:

> "distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes"

Even if true, it should be mentioned that ability often stems from preference. We are driven to invest time and effort into our preferences, so our abilities in those areas will improve. In a population average, we should be able to graph this difference without failing any gender bias scrutiny.

As for "native ability", all else equal except gender, you will face opposition to the idea that your gender might start you at a disadvantage in given disciplines.

As soon as a child starts growing up and investing time in their preference, their abilities will cluster around those preferences. So it would be very difficult to prove that gender abilities are present before socialisation. Either way, it's a scientific question, and deserves respect rather than over-sensitive knee-jerk political reactions.
Someday, people will wise up to the fact that success has more to do with psychological programming than resources. Actually they won't because they won't ever get enough of the programming themselves to realize it.

>normal humans run red lights because they're either not paying attention or they're assholes. how is a machine safer or better if it can't pay attention (or even worse, is an asshole).

Obviously a machine can be safer if it doesn't pay attention (can't recognize the light being red) on a smaller rate than humans.

I.e. if humans cross red lights 2% of the time because they don't pay attention, and a machine 1%, then the machine is safer -- despite still crossing red lights.
I mean one side was literally advocating the extermination of all/most minorities in this country and chanting things along those lines.

He has a decades-long reputation for being anti-POC. I'd be amazed if he wasn't a sympathiser with the people sharing the same views (and still most everything he says and does points to him being a sympathiser.)
Why the sinister implication?

Unless I've misunderstood your tone, you seem to be implying complicity even conspiracy. Surely the obvious explanation is "anyone could have leaked it and it's very hard to prove who did it"?

Hello,
I would need some advice to change my career plan from Molecular and Cellular Biology engineering into Tech stuff.
Unfortunately i do not know how to code but I'm good at electronics and physics. There is a place where Biology is used in Tech, like to build new kind of transistor that fit better for AI, that could be more similar to what neurons and brain used to be for deep learning?
Also I'm a good IT guy, good reviewer of electronic hardware in general.
Thanks you a lot for your input!

Sheer indignation changes nothing.

The "diversity culture" Left has been very succesful in a kind of cultural engineering where any deviation from accepted consensus is inches from being labeled "hate". Lone wolf kamikaze-type performances will only strengthen it.

What the fucking alt-right has been doing about this is trying to ignore the facts altogether, which may have populist impact but will alienate the professional/intellectual circles where this consensus takes root.

Maybe it's worth looking at the much-cited-in-this-thread Wired piece that agrees with Damore about everything substantive and then in full non sequitur condemns him.They're doing something effective.

Frankly, I have no idea of what to do about the toxic change in culture we have been experiencing. I try to avoid this kind of thining altogether -- it's a huge distraction from just trying to become the best version of me, etc. But I do understand that indignation and anger on our side is a windfall for theirs. If you're really willing to take them on you need to think seriously about strategy.
Why would they need Twillio et all to give them new numbers, if as everyone (including in this thread) says they can spoof the number, even showing as the receiver's number itself?
In addition to MiniFree, there's the Talos II[1] which is an entirely free motherboard and CPU (based on IBM's POWER9). It's a very modern CPU specification, and is also fairly powerful. Currently pre-orders are open. They are a bit pricey (~$2k for a fully prebuilt machine), but if you feel that you want a more powerful CPU that is an option. They also have server offerings.

He a self confessed classical liberal.

A classical liberal would have views similar to his own. Let people follow their own preferences, rather than trying to shape the world how you think it should be.

That's issue here. He isn't against diversity, but he is against trying to shape society towards some 'ideal' using rules, and regulations.
And as an addendum, it's not just parents; girls and boys are often segregated, either forced (separate changing rooms, bathrooms) or intuitively (forming groups with their own genders), and then you get peer pressure, or you get ostracized for not being "like the others"

Being a geek at one point was like that, then it became cool.

Anyway point is, even if a parent raises their kid(s) gender-neutral or even pushes them towards STEM or whatever (for whatever reason), there's still peer pressure - but also support! - to either continue or move away from it.

In my personal experience, I got support from other kids that had computers at home (for example). I know my sister didn't have that, so while she'd use the computer at home, their friends had no interest in it. (she ended up doing biology, works at a hospital now)

No, this is what it looks like when you have a racist country that doesn't address its institutional racism for decades combined with a racist political party that panders and dogwhistles to them for (at least 5, more like 20) years combined with broken ideas about free speech.

I really can't stand C#. F# is what drove me to .NET in the first place.

And I don't like going back to C++, is there any GUI/XAML tooling for it? If not, I'd rather use something like Rust.
I'm afraid I have no good recipe for that, I would suggest to "brute force" it - cast a wide net and filter approach. In my case it was mostly dumb luck really. You will now a desperate one when you see it - normally they will try to close the deal ASAP instead of jerking you around.
>but why would it affect the database lookup that a self-driving car is doing?

Who said a self driving car is doing a "database lookup"?

If anything, a good self driving car should NOT do any kind of database lookup (of the location of traffic lights etc) and be able to recognize and respond to a moved, impromptu (e.g. because of road work), new, unfamiliar, etc. traffic light.

"lowering the bar" has an actual meaning.

"To lower the standards of quality that are expected of or required for something." -- http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/lower+the+bar

If he didn't mean to say that, he should retract that phrase and apologize for saying something he didn't mean to say.

You getting "triggered" by people using the standard definition of a common idiom isn't helpful.

Parents often tell their children that a lie about what they did is worse than the original crime. I hope Mr. Damore didn't take this smug "I didn't actually say that women were inferior, it's all about preferences" tone that seems to be the first line of defence online, in his HR meetings only to be asked "So, what's this bit about race and the "science" of IQ you mentioned? Is IQ a preference?"

I'll note that the argument you present about Google only diversity-washing themselves at the cost of others having lower diversity, is the same argument that people make about their green energy efforts. In that area at least they've gone to great lengths to ensure that they actually improve the whole industry, not just steal the glory for themselves and I wouldn't be at all suprised if they had some very smart people ensuring the same was the case in this instance.

This is disturbing, to say the least. Given how much effort I've invested in securing myself, it's... disappointing. The rationale, it seems, is that government doesn't count as "someone to be concerned about", from a security point of view.

I understand that key strokes can be logged, TCP/IP can be read; you can be scraped, but ultimately how is their backdoor aware of you so that it doesn't appear to them like needle in a stack of needles. A fascinating and revolting technical conundrum.
No, Intel's approach is very different from GPUs, because Intel has a strong negative interest in making porting to GPUs easy (also, wide vectors are far easier to do in a CPU than a "GPU like model").

I've read the research about Stuyvesant, and several other articles with similar theme. The data and reasoning seems quite convincing. It's just I can't reconcile it with my personal experience.

All these studies seems to suggest it doesn't matter much where you go to school, everything is already decided. But I know I've learned things in school, things that I can't expect to learn quite systematically should I just teach myself. And I also know there are schools that don't teach much, where teachers are exhausted for just maintaining order and keep violence to an acceptable level. It seems pretty obvious that I wouldn't learn much in this kind of environment. Maybe I can still get to a similar level as I am today but it be would much much harder.
