>Am I missing something fundamental here?
Yeah, these aren't magic formula, they are just examples.

>In the first example, the method compute_error_for_line_given_points is called with values 1, 2, [[3,6],[6,9],[12,18]]. Where did those values come from?

It's an example. The first two arguments define a line y = 2x + 1,
the pairs are (x,y) points being used to compute the error.

"To play with this, let’s assume that the error function is Error=x^5−2x^3−2"

This is just an example of a function used as exposition to talk about derivatives.

It isn't even an error function though. An error function has to be a function of at least two variables.

Just buy a new laptop. Disable the network card on the old laptop, and transfer the files via usb.

It will probably cost you $2000 tops with all of the software, etc. The cost of wiping the old one will be much greater considering the amount of time it is going to take to make sure everything is off of the old laptop and the risk of missing something.

You mentioned that she doesn't want to lose all of the software on the laptop. Does she own the license for the software or is that property of her old firm?

I'm probably not adding much to discussion after many commenters, but this one rings for me as non capital-oriented citizen:

>The common theme is that the fear of no jobs is not FUD nor a theoretical threat. Workers know it actually happens.

Iow, not the one who negotiates wins, but the one who has time on their hands. If workforce "feels" too expensive, average capital can just sit on deposit and wait for new ideas. If worker's salary feels too low, she cannot just sit and wait or requalify for new job quickly. This asymmetry pushes workers down on their wages without a chance to negotiate, because there is nobody to blame. Investments are diversifiable, professions aren't.

While capitalism shown world-wide success, it forces everyone to follow only one life style, otherwise you're wasted. Personally, I'm pretty fine with how I live due to the path chosen from the start and personal interests, but I don't like what all this does to "regular" profession workers. People are almost punished for what they liked to do, or simply for the fact they aren't interested in business, aka someone else's sky-high profit wars.

Otoh, while theoretical basic income program could buy time for workers, it would also demotivate capital builders more. It seems like pretty thin balance there, if it exists at all.

Not to rock the boat, but to what extent is saying "this guy is a toxic white supremacist and we should not support him" permitted? Because I was the first person to even bring it up in the thread, and leaving it unsaid would have been, I think, unconscionable and awkward. I tried to be as diplomatic as possible in my statement, keeping it brief and slinging no personal attacks. My intent was not to start any flame wars; I just think it's critical that we, as a community, don't sweep such uncomfortable facts under the rug.

Yeah, it's a tricky situation, but at the very least I would expect Uber to _acknowledge the situation_, rather than just saying "thanks for your feedback". I would have expected an apology, not extensive but literally just "I'm sorry about that, it's in our policy not to have that happen to you and we'll make sure this is fixed". Nope.
Thanks for your reply. I do agree with you, in general, and have been trying to get myself involved in more ML projects at my current work.

I have around 8 years of professional software experience (C++/C#) and have fiddled around with some rudimentary machine learning for work, like linear regression, k-means clustering, etc. I have a decent idea of how/why they work, but have fallen flat on my face when learning the theory behind more complicated algorithms, e.g. Hessians from Andrew Ng's class. In my experience, many classes tend to focus on a ground up approach. With higher level frameworks like Keras, how necessary is this?
And for this very reason (throttled CPU lock over accidental bullshit > BSOD > necessitating cutting all electrical power to all circuits) was THE reason I despised the idea of proprietary hard-soldered batteries in laptops and mobile devices, and shaped my buying habits for years.

I simply could not trust these shit options, regarding unhackable-useless-cruft-removal-customizations (aka: pre-live-cd-linux era) not conflicting with the need to cut power to the main board and CPU, to force a cold boot on a moment's notice.

Now, I still despise the idea of non-removable battery power, and avoid it vehemently, but for different reasons. Basically fuck any Android device that has no removable battery, no well-understood rooting procedures, and locked falsh firmware. Fuck Android's slow-loading, identity-authentication-prompting-geographic-location-demanding shitware, and all-encompassing, non-uninstallable-OEM-but-still-mostly-Google/Facebook/Twitter-garbage.

Fuck Apple products that refuse to power on even when plugged into power, and fully capable of displaying a fancy, animated empty battery graphic. Fuck that shit right in the god damned face.

I plug you into the wall, and you shall power on at my whim. I want you off, I pop the battery and pull the plug whenever I want, or I THROW IT ON THE GROUND.

I'm not sure that's true. Black cabs are highly regulated and others in the comments have written about very low numbers of rapes/etc from black cab drivers.

Agree and the other annoying thing is that the queries and most of the apis are not the same, so you work and build the query you want in JSON and now you need to go translate that to program code :( And vice versa, something is wrong with the query so if you want to figure it out and not be in a debugger you need to translate the code back to a query. There are libraries that accept the JSON but the standard one has an api that does not use the json queries directly.

If the yield of food per labor unit goes down, and we want to feed the worlds poor (aka keep food prices at least flat), that necessitates a substantial drop in farm labor wages.

I'd take environmental degradation over slavery, to be honest.

I stopped years ago, and unfortunately have let myself be dragged back into it recently. I wouldn't advocate being so disconnected that you don't know the major things going on in the world. What I've found by not paying close attention to the news is that the important stuff still finds its way to you. Instead, perhaps we'd all benefit if we didn't keep our hands on the pulse of the news, so to speak. Stepping back from the day-to-day, he said/she said, tit-for-tat, inside-baseball everyday news cycle is what I'm getting at. The news, by and large, is bad news. It can be a constant reminder of our powerlessness as individuals. It can be a barrage of situations we can't change, but feel some anxiety over. What about the news is actionable? We can grab an umbrella.

I'd rather view the news as a troubled friend who is always mired in drama. While I respect its role in my life and the importance to society, news delivers too much drama to be invited around every evening, let alone all day long.
Is that their claim though? Isn't the claim you will learn to play music and isn't that the most important regardless of which instrument you learn?

If you're worried about antibiotic resistance, consider cutting back or eliminating animal agriculture products from your diet.

According to the FDA, 80% of antibiotics used in the US are given to farm animals. This is because it is cheaper to give antibiotics to every farm animal just in case rather than giving the medical care needed to properly diagnose and treat. Bird flu or swine flu has a decent probability of being the next epidemic because of this practice.

http://www.sustainabletable.org/257/antibiotics

EDIT: My mistake, bird and swine flu are caused by viruses not bacteria and are therefore not affected by the antibiotic stuffing of farm animals. But the crowding and conditions of factory farms do contribute to potential bird and swine flu outbreaks. See my comment below.

Do you have a deep understanding of all the tools you use? Because I honestly doubt so.
> Why would let say business owner care about the increase the "talent pool" 15-20 years down the road ?

Because said capitalist presumably has kids, and he wants his kids to have a bigger talent-pool from where they can choose their future employees so that the company can continue to prosper. But you're right, nowadays "business owners" doesn't mean "capitalist" (or a bunch of capitalists, let's say maxim 3 or 4), it usually means some anonymous pension funds which appoint administrators (i.e. CEOs) to run the business for them. Of course that those CEOs don't have any incentives to look forward in time because their kids' future success doesn't depend on what their present company is doing. Schumpeter decried this phenomenon as early as the 1930s, and predicted that will "help" with the demise of capitalism.

> Your second paragraph, why would the business owner care about their workers kids ?

I hope I answered this in the previous paragraph. In short, the business owners' kids will need to have employees on their own (and good ones at that) and relatively speaking prosperous clients. If you don't care about the kids of today's workers then you're reducing both the numbers of your kids' potential very good employees and prosperous clients.
Another way to look at this is that for most of the period under consideration, the Canadian economy was an order of magnitude smaller than both Britain and America. For the bulk of the period under consideration, Canadian currency was fixed to the pound Sterling, which had the Bank of England. Canada gained independence in 1867 and in 1871 passed the Bank Act (and for the bulk of the period under consideration was subject to English common law, and Canadian Acts could be voided by the House of Commons.)

That being said, I admit to not having read the paper. The authors' ultimate conclusion may stand, but that their exemplar is a British Dominion adds some confounding details.
I understand that is the expectation for some, but I personally am happy when the doctor tells me I'll be better on my own. It keeps me form worrying that I have something more serious.
I dislike the general feeling among some in the HN community to conflate tone with message and, generally within one paragraph of a linked article, determine that the style of delivery is not within the community standard of humorlessness and pedantry and thus requires a metaphorical (or literal) downvote.

Actually reading this article, we discover that the author refers to himself exactly once as an 'expert'. He cites a number of other professionals, mostly in order to provide linked journal references supporting his position. It's generally difficult to get published in a peer-reviewed journal without some kind of credentials in a field, so if the presence of opinions by professionals in an area is offensive, it's going to be hard to find anything of substance to read.
