Thanks! A shame the site didn't help you, but I am not sure I agree that the good ones need to be found themselves and don't advertise. In my experience it was opposite, the better ones were more likely to understand the importance of marketing. I think I have most of the better goshiwons in Seoul on the site, I can only think of 1 or maybe 2 goshiwons that considered themselves too good to need to advertise.
This is one of the most insightful comments here. Not sure why it's being downvoted?

Your links below certainly seem to support what you are saying.

Exactly... you're writing to tell me that Tesla's factory in 2016 was not as advanced as Honda's? Well... I'm not surprised. Honda is extremely good at producing extremely large numbers of cars and Tesla produces very few.
That's why testing and validation sets exists. Overfitting is prevented by ending learning process when error on validation set starts growing. It is a standard procedure, so it's unlikely there's a recent case of overfitting slipping into production.

If irrelevant feature is present in all class samples, then it is not a fault of NN to use it as a class feature, it's bad data.
The problem is "higher employment/higher wages" with increased minimum wages aren't a given.

Plenty of studies (and real world examples) show that higher minimum wages means fewer jobs - why pay a cashier when you can install a touch screen kiosk?

There could be an argument that it's because of unbalanced minimum wages (one city, state, etc)... but I think that even a national minimum wage increase to $15... or even a smaller one like $10... would do more damage to unskilled labor than would be beneficial.

Personally? I could see an inflation based auto-increase... but just doubling the minimum wage in a short time frame is going to be damaging. IMO.
We used to use them at a previous job -- they had a data product that would tell you what add networks competitor apps were using, their estimated market share in impressions, and what their ad creative was. Was a very useful research tool for digital marketing.
I would write down and/or record as much brain dump from the outgoing engineer as you can.

Really good senior devs, particularly from early in the startup, also have a large breadth of knowledge surrounding all areas of the business. Try to learn a little bit about what everybody does.
I've stared at your post, for at least five minutes. I've read it at least a dozen times.

I can't figure out if you're being facetious or serious.
EU companies (typically) don't have a nexus or operating presence in the US, therefore they can't be coerced to release requested data (unless the US Government is going to request three letter agencies to null route their traffic at internet exchanges [or take other adverse actions against their traffic]).

Your shell game you suggest will not withstand the scrutiny of an intelligent judge and an aggressive prosecutor.

On a LAN or UDP-based "Layer 2 overlay", there is mrsync for this purpose. One could efficiently distribute regular updates to some data that everyone on the network needs, e.g., "domain names" and IP addresses.
What if the mass is distributed in a ring surrounding the gyro at a distance? How would you distinguish between spinning versus mass in that case?

General Relativity may seem counterintuitive, but experimentally it really does seem to be the way our universe works. Starting out from the position that absolute motion is meaningless has proven remarkably fruitful. It's also something a lot of very smart people have been thinking about for a hundred years. Whether or not you find Mach's arguments plausible, they're fundamental philosphical claims and can't simply be dismissed through a half-baked thought experiment.
This makes the claim that you don't need to run any additional software on the server, other than having an HTTP/1.1 compliant host.

How does zsync diff against the local file without downloading the contents from the server?
Both APs and clients need to be patched[0]. Mitigations are possible on AP side if no updates are available[1].

[0]: "Finally, although an unpatched client can still connect to a patched AP, and vice versa, both the client and AP must be patched to defend against all attacks!"

[1]: "you can try to mitigate attacks against routers and access points by disabling client functionality (which is for example used in repeater modes) and disabling 802.11r (fast roaming)."

> "First-conclusion bias". Huge problem with cops.

Also check out "availability bias" which Charlie mentions many times in his speeches. Because "x minority shot and killed by police" comes up so many times in the news, this image tends to be readily accesible in our brains when we here the word "cops", thus causing us to vastly overestimte it's probabiltiy of this event actually happening in real life. This causes us to believe the problem is far bigger than it actually is, probabilistically speaking: https://i.imgur.com/tOTcCRH.jpg . (Mind you, those stats are "white men", much less "white men that happen to be policemen") .

Dramatic/emotional information is somehow perceived to be a bigger threat than "real, actual statistcal risk", in other words.

Daniel Kahneman also covers this topic on his excellent "Thinking Fast and Slow": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow#Availa... which I also recommend.
It's nice to know that someone else doesn't think the sky is falling either.
> We can accurately and precisely predict the behavior of a gyro, derive the mathematical equations necessary and the model we use is general for all moving objects. This is the greatest level of knowing you can have.

That's not true. You can have accurate and precise predictions without understanding why it behaves in that fashion. If, additionally, you can understand why it does then you have a better understanding of it.
That's only true if your battery is low, and mine was above 80%
I understand that perspective and I don't disagree. That certainly is the case; Many are there because they understand the financial system better than anyone else. I don't mean to suggest that there is a grand organized conspiracy. That said, I do believe there is a strong network of bankers that promote their self interest.
I'd agree with your intuition in both cases, but it's worth pointing out the equivalence principle (falling in an elevator) isn't necessarily immediately obvious (which I know is not something you claimed). Feynman complained about philosophers who would claim it's obvious that motion was always relative but then wouldn't understand that the same thing didn't apply to rotational motion.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that its strange that an observatory press release on the specific subject of the "observed light" can only lead it with what I assume is an artists'impression? I'm sure that there is oodles of data to go through, but after 3 months, surely a representation of the actual data imaged could be presented?
What's to keep the US government from fining companies or suspending their ability to do business until they give up user data? For example, London suspending Uber's ability to operate in the city.

While I'd agree that small-ish foreign companies can probably fly under the radar, I don't think any company that receives payments from US customers is immune to coercion from the US. If the US government can impede a company's ability to access US customers then that's an ability to compel a company to give up data.
Could you name one actual policy or law that has been passed which has made a significant difference, so far, in any of the issues you claim Trump has 'fucked up'.

The only thing I can think of that might actually have caused some issues for some businesses would be the rejection of TPP. And that is something almost all Americans wanted abolished.

Tweets, Executive Orders, and hyperventilating journalists do not actually affect US policy.

One question I've never seen answered to my satisfaction: If you created a gyroscope with two counter-rotating disks somehow identical in moment and location, would it fight precession symmetrically, or act like a block of matter with nothing rotating inside it?

I looked at Honda's PR site for Honda Sensing Driver Assistance. Lane departure, forward collision warning, collision mitigation? So, in other words, everything my Golf has? Hell, the DSG Golfs will even go to a full stop on laser cruise. It takes a button press to get it to resume, but it's pretty damn close to non-steering autopilot (yes, it has lane keeping, but like most of these systems, it makes you take over after a few seconds of inattention).

You're comparing different values here - subsidies per commuter vs subsidies per capita. To be fair you should recalculate the road spending to be paid only by those who use it for commuting. Not to mention that number only includes highway spending and not regular roads.
when i was in grad school all the faculty were off doing startups and they had the grad students teaching the undergrads because they were never around.

we were all petrified, felt totally under qualified and did as much as we could do to fill the perceived skill gap.

i think without an exception we excelled. the courses were harder, graded better, got better student feedback, covered a lot more material and engendered a reciprocal student response that the distracted and jaded profs never got.

a little performance pressure isn't always a bad thing
"zsync is only useful if people offer zsync downloads."

It works by expecting a .zsync metadata file which gets downloaded first and is used to guide the differential download.
I'm not so sure of anything. That's the way it looks to me from reading the article. The way it looks to me from reading the article is that these employees were labeled as underperforming simply so the company could avoid triggering any sort of legal scrutiny. I could be totally wrong. It's likely that I'm not considering people walked in without any PEP or any notice and were let go even according to another poster on HN.

It uses a special file that has to be installed on the server. Perhaps you thought (as did I) that this was supposed to work with any file over http? That does not appear to be the case.

Sorry, sounds like you have a lot of inaccurate information you're basing that off of.
WebGL implementations still way too wobbly to move on to the next thing, and it's been slow going. We still too get way too much of browsers blacklisting WebGL because of driver issues. And they keep adding to the blacklists without doing browser level workarounds, so your WebGL is liable to stop working on any browser update.

Any "WebGL killer" implementation effort would presumably be substracted from WebGL implementation work.

Also, GPGPU is probably going to be more important on the web than 3D graphics, and the WebGL model works well for that. Shifting focus away from WebGL GPGPU would mean years of setback for GPU computing on the web.

Re-read this article every time when you come across yet another blog post or article extolling the virtues of formall proofs, verifications, and, while we’re at it, static typing.

None of these work when taken in isolation and given to actual people to work with.
I think I agree with what the author is saying, but I also think diversity "in your head" is pretty important too, even if it is difficult to measure (as the author points out).

We're getting to a point where people of different political orientations won't even talk to each other anymore. People with different religious beliefs won't even serve one another as customers. There's people who won't even talk to their family anymore over politics!

Tech is becoming that way too. I have worked with hundreds of people and I can only think of one Conservative I worked with. The rest were either Libertarian (~20%) or Progressive (~80%). As nice and comfortable as an echo chamber can be, I see this as net negative. I think this is a real problem.

Sadly I don't have any solutions to offer though, because it's obviously inappropriate to ask someone about their political views in an interview. I've just been trying really hard to listen (and it is hard sometimes). If enough people start listening on all sides, I think it will make a difference.
jesus that title's misleading.

THe actual paper is about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warburg_effect Warburg effect (the observation that cancerous cells rely heavily on glycolysis). People have wondered about causation, and this group has offered some mechanistic answers that help get us closer to knowing if glycolysis spikes _because_ you have cancer, or you get cancer because you lean on glycolysis.
+1 on the sketchy item descriptions. I ordered an item that turned out to not have a feature listed in the description.

Interestingly, I just checked and it looks like they've corrected the description after I left a 1-star review about it.
I agree with your first statement, but not the followip.

Public transportation systems are woefully inefficient. If we made them operate more like private corporations, I would agree more.
I don't think it's a matter of achieving a faster reaction time by bypassing higher brain functions. It's about looking several steps ahead and planning out multiple steps before you need to do them, and then anticipating when each action needs to happen.

One game that really demonstrated this to me was Crypt of the Necrodancer. It's a rougelike where each turn is the beat of a song, and the tempo of the song for each floor is slightly faster than the previous floor, starting at 120 bpm (1/2 second per turn) on floor 1 and topping out around 180 bpm (1/3 second per turn). For the slow songs, you have enough time between beats to fully plan your next action, but at some point, as the tempo gradually increases from floor to floor, you hit a point that this is no longer possible, and your brain has to "switch modes" to planning several beats ahead and thinking in patterns instead of individual moves.

> Jamie Dimon's reaction is not IMO unreasonable given the hype and the contradictions inherent in the position of most bitcoin advocates - contradictions laid bare in this article (fast, decentralised, consistent, pick two).

His ultimate conclusion -- that bitcoin is a bubble -- is not an unreasonable one to reach. But his reasoning completely misses the point. It doesn't even make sense to evaluate the worth of bitcoin in isolation as if it were fiat currency. An argument that it's a bubble necessitates a viewpoint on value of distributed apps.
Super Hexagon is akin to "sight reading" or performing music "a prima vista", while DDR as played by most players is a type of rehearsed musical performance (or, well, dance, I suppose).

Being able to play a prima vista is a rather specialized skill even among musicians; I've only known a handful of people who can do it really well. I don't think it has a ton of utility (at least I never found it to have a lot) and so it's not something that many people actively develop or train, though.

There is also another option, you genuinely like your work. For some reason, the team does not want to get involved and the management fails to notice this. Fixing the mess means either stepping up as a manager, or leaving. In both cases, you lost the work you liked. What do you do?
> The team used yeast cells for its research – specifically looking at the 'Ras' gene family, a family of genes that is present in all animal cells, including human cancer cells.

Hmm.. So they could have used any opisthokont's cells for a model, but they chose a fungus, a type of organism that travels readily in the environment as micrometer-sized spores and on even forms yeast, a zoomorphism which just so happens to match the growth and feeding patterns of cancer.. makes sense.
Also check out rugsusa.com -- I ordered two large area rugs from them a couple years ago and have been quite happy. They have an insanely huge selection.

I think rugs are easy to order online relative to other furniture-type stuff, because the general shape is obvious: you don't have to see it in person to know it's going to be shaped like a rug.
At least back in 2004, the Oz documentation was sufficiently problematic that I wrote a VirtualManual[1].

> Mozart/Oz has a lot of documentation. Many documents, papers, lecture notes, etc, and several web pages which list them. And subjects are often discussed in several documents. This page attempts to integrate the documentation, saying "for subject foo, see these n sources".

I expect the links are mostly rotted now.

The scattered fragmentation of the documentation was tolerable once you were familiar with both the language and its documents. But for new users, especially those without the Oz textbook, it was a serious barrier. Glad to hear it's now much better.

Thank you for the reminder of all this -- my anonymously-editable Oz wiki was still running, gathering unindexed spam. Static partial snapshot now. Activity moved to an official wiki a decade ago. Perhaps sometime, I'll look to see if any of its other pages, were also still linked to or used, or of possible historical interest, and restore them too. Thanks again.

People are very different it seems.

I enjoy both diagramming and early exploratory coding.

I have real problems when one of my (really smart) colleagues wants to discuss some code we have neither written nor diagrammed yet.

For her however that seems to be the natural way of doing it and when we started working together I had to point out that just didn't work for me.

It seems to me that knowing and being aware and accepting of the different learning styles can solve a number of problems in teams.
This reminds me about the demo utility that comes wit rsynclib called rdiff, except they approached this problem in less practical way, although it shows rsynclib better.

It works as follows:

- Let say you already have file that is older version, or perhaps corrupted, you use rdiff to generate its signature

- you go then to the place which contains proper file and use the signature file to generate a patch file

- then you use the patch file to fix your local file

I wonder how much these sorts of accounts are attributable to the beat of the Climate Doom drum combined with human recollection which is notoriously unreliable, malleable, and open to suggestion.

The US has just exited a period of a record setting "hurricane drought," so maybe the hurricane remnant weather seems unusual because no such storms have made landfall in the US for the past decade plus.

That this year had a cluster of large storms isn't really indicative of anything in and of itself. Most things appear to happen in clusters. Things aren't perfectly evenly distributed.
