Math heavy ML is simple: ∀ problems: solution is Convnets (CNN in the article).

But yes, you should learn to apply multilayer convnets to image problems.

And don't worry about architecture. There's 2 variables : number of parameters and number of layers. There's an optimum, which will be bigger than "advanced" architectures, but it will match the advanced architectures' performance very closely (1-2% worse perhaps).

Slight issue is that it takes 2-3 hours to test a (number of free parameters, number of layers) combination, and so "hyperparameter tuning" (pick random and test, repeat) takes a long time. But if you make it a nice pipeline you can do it on cloud in parallel on a regular basis (as new data gets added) and have extremely good results.

Thoughts on Daphne Caruana Galizia from the Malta sub reddit before the assassination -

Also see throwaway_malta's comments -

A lot of comments here seem to be implying she is a highly respected journo who broke the Panama Papers. She did some good comments on them and other interesting stuff but was also a TMZ as someone puts it.
What matters in an assassination is the motive, not the weapon.

A murder-for-hire of a prominent politician committed by a third party with a car bomb on behalf of someone is not an assassination it was commissioned by their cheated-on spouse.

On the other hand, a politician or journalist being stabbed for political reasons is an assassination. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inejiro_Asanuma.

> "heat sink - heat sink on the processor, fan turned off"

Not a huge criticism, but I am not sure their heatsink test was particularly efficient as all they did was turn off the fan mounted on the heatsink. It seems quite likely that the fan was acting as an insulator and at the very least, impeding heat dissipation.

I may of course be misunderstanding what they actually did.

Great article! A few things have caught my eye:

> MyApp.users = MyApp.user || {};

Is this a typo, or intentional? If it is intentional, can someone explain the thought behind it?

Also, in some examples Medium (or the author's text editor) seems to have changed apostrophes and quotation marks, this makes the examples harder to try.
Rocket Internet answered this question already.
>At what point is it not about the investment about the business, and gambling about how it will go in the future(eg shorting).

What, in your mind, is the difference? I think it's a reasonable viewpoint to say that all investment in a business is a speculative bet (ie. gambling) on its future. In that sense, shorting is no different than going long (you just believe it's going the opposite direction and want to express that viewpoint to the rest of the market).
You clearly haven't invested much then. Investing in the public markets is different to investing in private equity -- the former is generally highly liquid, the latter illiquid.

Illiquid investments need to generate higher returns to make up for the fact they're illiquid, in comparison to liquid ones.
This is where the current state of the art in industry is in machine learning : do "modern" things like scanning documents/codes/... on old processes without modifying the processes.

Say you want to do the famous quality check in factories (is the dogfood box closed properly ?), you can just do that with a convnet.
In addition to what others have said: an opportunity to invest. There are plenty of great investment opportunities around, but not all can be had at the click of a button.

It makes it easy for an investor living in France to invest in a US tech company.
if you look at the provided pictures, the fan sits beside the heatsink and not right on top of it. I don't think it would make a major difference either way, it's not blocking the heatsinks airflow.
Why not? Most "Eastern European EU citizen" I know support this kind of idea... what is wrong with it? Corruption is bad, and I would not care if a French, German or Bulgarian national uncovers it.
To be clear, if a client makes an HTTPS request, you cannot downgrade it to HTTP, even if you're in control of the TCP socket. You can only hijack connections that are initially made over HTTP.
*At what point does almost anything else you mentioned help the business?*

Firstly, it's a market place. The business and investor need to find each other.

To create the market place, you must understand that different investors and different businesses have use cases that you don't need, such as "almost anything else" I mentioned.

*Everything else seems likes gambling, imho*

One of the dimensions is risk profile. Some investors want risky positions in highly leveraged trades e.g. buying a lottery ticket. Some though want a minimal return on an almost sure bet e.g. Italy won't be beaten by San Marino at football.
What kind of annoys me about this post is that there are vast numbers of reports from people looking exactly at this issue and going further, even comparing different heatsinks, e.g. [1]. Would have been easy to find.

Oh how great could this world be, if people would do to their research and stop doing for a hundredth time what others already did. They could start from there and build upon if they need to. Or fill the gaps. But nope, let's do it all over again and learn even less if possible.

foo = foo || {}

"mark foo as being foo if it is already defined or as an empty new object {} if it is not"

It's just to not accidentally set a already defined foo as an empty object incase foo is already defined. Yeah... JavaScript...

Another common idiom:

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080

The || (logical OR) can be used for setting a default incase the value before it is falsey (null, undefined, false...).
Same goes for lots of other places. A few years ago, even the earth map was full with these stripes when Google did not had good images from everywhere. Also check out Pluto, one half of the planet is just a smear.

How a Neural Network Learns?
This seems like a lot of very highly directed, complex, and confusing artificial policy-making in order to achieve something that could probably be approximated far more simply and understandably by placing a small tax on equity transactions. Long term investors would be barely affected, high frequency traders would be forced to re-evaluate their approach, and the government could collect some highly needed revenue.
Well, for "capitalism" to function in the way we've come to expect there have to be certain legal frameworks in place (property rights, companies, etc.) which are generally fairly tightly regulated. The Panama Papers described various schemes (often illegal even in Panama) where these legal frameworks were abused to hide ownership and control of large amounts of capital.

Were these problems caused directly by capitalism? No. We're the criminal activities described in the Panama Papers facilitated by the structures that have to be in place for capitalism to work. Yes, I think that is arguable.

The Panama Papers are an argument for more effective regulation, not against capitalism.

Pretty sure pseudonymity is just as effective for investigative reporting bylines as using an identifier tied to the address at which your family sleeps.

I'm just not sure I believe that. Do you think the Snowden leaks, for example, would have had the same spread and impact if it was just an pseudonymous data dump and without someone like Glenn Greenwald and The Guardian adding a 'face' and legitimacy to the information?

You’re right, I like your breakdown of the issue.

The “mantra” should be a reminder of the cultural value. ie: you learn the value by seeing it in interactions between people first. The mantra then orients you toward the cultural value.

Instead some people are taking the mantra and twisting it to create a culture that is useful to them.

Haha, it kind of reminds me of religion. :S

Do you keep your documents up to date? I will occasionally sit down and diagram how I want everything to work usually in a simplified UML diagram, an FSM diagram, or a sequence diagram. It certainly makes initial development faster.

But then the changes start and now I either discard the diagrams or accept that I have two things to maintain. Generally I take the former path because divergence from the plan is almost inevitable on anything that's alive.

OOP classes (well, their instances) combine data and functionality into a single "thing" (well, object). Inheritance is nasty because you are not just composing structures of data or interfaces of functionality but both at the same time.

When you separate data from functionality into separate "things", composing things out of them becomes nicer.

I'm not a Haskell programmer, but AFAIK type classes contain functionality, NOT data (state).

Example of what I'm talking about: Clojure's Protocols.

in order to test your app in prod-like env you need to run prod-like env locally. ie. a k8s-cluster that is close enough to prod. for that you will have to at least simulate multi-node-setup and run all cluster-addons like in production.

i am excited about this move from docker but i don't think it will solve all the problems. i think once you have a bigger team it is worthwhile to run a second k8s-cluster besides prod where people can just test things on it. otherwise it is actually not that hard to run a local k8s-cluster with vagrant, not sure how docker wants to top that - i think there is no need to top vagrant.

The post seems to be missing composition. One way of doing it is like this:

const foo = {
someVal: true,
methodA() {},
methodB() {}
};
const bar = Object.assign({}, foo, {
methodC() {}
});
// bar now has all the properties of foo, plus methodC

>> My question is are people using overfitting as an excuse of a what is instead a
badly made NN.

Overfitting is a major issue in machine learning and it's an inherent
characteristic of learning from examples and not the result of a mistake, or of
poor practice. There are special techniques developed explicitly to reduce
overfitting- early stopping (what red75prime above, describes), regularisation,
bagging (in decision trees) etc. A lot of work also goes into ensuring measures of
learning performance don't mistake overfitting for successful learning (e.g. k-fold cross
validation).

I'm sorry that I don't have time to track down a good source for a discussion of the
bias-variance tradeoff and overfitting. You can start at the wikipedia page
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias%E2%80%93variance_tradeoff] and follow the
links. In short- a model that learns to reproduce its example data with very
high fidelity, risks generalising poorly, whereas a model that generalises well
may have high training error. Linear classifiers in particular are
high-bias, whereas nonlinear learners, like multi-layered neural networks or
decision trees, are high-variance.

The problem is real, it's a big bugbear and you won't find any specialist who
dismisses it, or who considers it "not a real issue".
Show HN: MediaTag.io – add tags to HN posts

Hello HN,

MediaTag is an app to tag anything: webpages, images, videos and more. It is an easy and flexible way to keep things organized.

A feature I am very happy with is a way to see what pages have been tagged (either that you have tagged, or that are shared publicly) right from HN. You can see how an HN page looks like with tags:

And also for reddit:

2. I would buy Apple shares if I could sell them at a moments notice. I wouldn't if I couldn't.

3. A liquid investment is generally valued higher than an illiquid one.

4. A higher valuation means the company is able to raise funding from the market at a later stage, by selling additional equity (if required) -- this is relevant for the company.
Yes, sorry if that was unclear, I meant plural vs singular.
I think the article is much more concerned with the fact that, for about 13 years now ("since" the great financial crisis, but starting before it) we have been running economic policy that would have been seen as lunacy in 2000 by ... well, by everyone.

In fact, it pretty much still is.

Free money is to capitalism what "let's just use a random function as a cost function" is to a neural network. It takes away the intelligence, the adaptation. It will explode, slowly. It does not make much sense, however, that the economy takes/took this long to crash as a result.

We should (and do, according to quite a few economic journals, and that's in a way also what this article is complaining about) have an economy that doesn't make sense given the world we live in. That the connection between reality and our economic system acting on reality is getting looser and looser. There must come a point where it suddenly, violently stops working and vast shortages suddenly manifest everywhere. Just like any learning algorithm when you take away it's direction: it goes insane, and not in a way you can debate whether it's insane. Think epileptic seizure, not general weirdness.

The FBI isn't a large part of the reason the US has so many people in jail & prison. Mandatory minimum sentencing laws are about 3/4 of the cause, along with treating drug addiction as a crime instead of as strictly a health concern is most of the rest of that (with all of it broadly falling under the war on drugs). The get-tough-on-crime (by putting everyone in prison) era, during the Reagan / Bush / Clinton years, is the root.
Since the MIT license grants end-users certain rights, shouldn't the "all rights reserved" statement be removed?
i guess the easiest way would be to run a registry in minikube.

another approach would be to run docker inside a k8s-pod (docker-in-docker), that way you can run images without having to push them to a registry but still test it in k8s-environment (at least to some extent).
