Somewhat similar to content aware fill in Photoshop [0]. The untrained network can latch onto frequent patterns and match them to holes in the data.

Why doesn’t it paint everything white? Are these actually transparent images or are they somehow tagged?

I’m not sure the number of hardware architectures matters that much, as opposed to the number of OSes or compilers. If you have to target N different C++ compilers written independently by different vendors, then sure, each compiler has a heck of a lot of room for bugs in the frontend or standard library. But with a given compiler (say, GCC or Clang) that has N architecture backends, there shouldn’t be that much added risk of architecture-dependent bugs with C++, compared to pure C.

After all, most of the “extra stuff” that C++ adds on to C has no inherent hardware dependence and exists only on the frontend. By the time the code makes its way to the backend, templates have been monomorphized (i.e. copied and pasted for each set of parameters); methods have been lowered to functions with added ‘this’ parameters; hidden calls to destructors and conversions have been made explicit; and so on. For any given C++ program, you could write a C program that compiles to near-identical IR, so if the backend can reliably compile C code, it should be able to handle C++.

True, that hypothetical C program might not look much like a typical human-written program. In order to achieve zero-cost abstractions, C++ code tends to rely a lot more on inlining and other backend optimizations than pure C, even though those optimizations apply to both languages. So if the backend isn’t reliable, C++ may generate more ‘weird’ IR that could end up getting miscompiled, and the level of indirection may make it harder to figure out what’s going on. But compiler backends these days are a lot more reliable than they used to be. And buggy backends can certainly cause problems for C code as well.

That's why it is one of my favorite games. Though we have certain scenarios that we won't play (eg: Hangman). We also let players reset if the haunt hasn't happened and they die.

Though I have not found it to be a good intro game. Even though it is simple I think people get confused with the rules. Also, it really sucks if the newcomer is the betrayer.
Wow:

"In this work, we show that, contrary to expectations, a great deal of image statistics are captured by the structure of a convolutional image generator rather than by any learned capability. This is particularly true for the statistics required to solve various image restoration problems, where the image prior is required to integrate information lost in the degradation processes.

To show this, we apply untrained ConvNets to the solution of several such problems. Instead of following the common paradigm of training a ConvNet on a large dataset of example images, we fit a generator network to a single degraded image. In this scheme, the network weights serve as a parametrization of the restored image. The weights are randomly initialized and fitted to maximize their likelihood given a specific degraded image and a task-dependent observation
model.

We show that this very simple formulation is very competitive for standard image processing problems such as denoising, inpainting and super-resolution. This is particularly remarkable because no aspect of the network is learned from data; instead, the weights of the network are always randomly initialized, so that the only prior information is in the structure of the network itself. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that directly investigates the prior captured by deep convolutional generative networks independently of learning the network parameters from images."

PS. This makes me wonder whether and to what degree the structure of the brain's connectome might be a necessary prior for AGI.
Yes, or that. Point is, the only thing that’s locked/secured is easily removed and replaced by a dumb, easily acquired device. Nobody that has accepted the responsibility of home ownership will be denied access to heat due to a smart home thermostat that they don’t have full access to.
Ehh I doubt most quants are interacting much with Excel except when they need to work with non-quants. There's not much of a reason to use Excel when you could use something like Pandas instead, plus the Python libraries/environment will make everything non-tabled better to deal with anyway.

At a former job I had to build a reporting system. And had the trust to build it however I wanted. But it was my job to make it sufficiently useful that everyone would use it.

The smartest thing that I did was make it accessible from Excel. You could build a spreadsheet off of my report. Refresh the spreadsheet, the report ran, you got updated data.

I got essentially 100% adoption, and the rest of my job was spent finding people who needed data and adding it as an option to the reporting system.

Usually you expect a complex reporting system to have features like graphing, pivot tables, etc, etc, etc. My answer to all of that was, "You can already do that in Excel. I could spend a lot of time on it but I'm not going to do it as well as what you already have."
Safe to say that Arthur C Clarke would count this as 'sufficiently advanced technology' then I guess :)

AWS SageMaker: AI’s Next Game Changer
I am a typical excel power user, and have started to increasingly do work outside of Excel (C# mostly). I find however that Excel is still a formidable GUI, particularly for tabular inputs.

One middle ground is libraries like SpreadsheetGear that give you a UI that has an almost perfect excel look and feel while giving you more control. You don't need to integrate your tool in Excel, you can integrate a quasi-Excel in your (.net) tool.
It would seem that Elon's personal business model is an inversion of the "under-promise, over-deliver" dictum. I wonder when it will catch up to him.
In Germany there's lots of paranoia, some justified and some not, about the NSA/Patriot act/etc. that leads to complete avoidance of American service providers and clouds. I've seen German companies at small scale doing mundane things running everything under the sun themselves like it's 1999, and with security infrastructure and procedures fit for a bank, protecting a small amount of uninteresting data.
Stuff like this is the price we pay for oppression by overzealous immigration enforcement. The price for freedom in this instance would be less vigorous enforcement against illegal immigrants.
Hardly. That has been my position for years. I have always believed that Uber's management made it a profoundly risky investment, and accordingly not smart. Reasonable minds will disagree with me. I'm entitled to think they're wrong.
The majority of working programmers rarely have to write a correct binary search from scratch. Why should you ask it? A better question would be to ask when it's appropriate to use the algorithm, and possibly provide a set of data and a scenario (i.e. context) that the candidate might encounter in which using the algorithm is an appropriate solution but not necessarily obviously so, then see if his process of thinking about the problem leads him there.
I do the design focus based on the candidates own background... something they have worked on in their resume. This also help me confirm they didn't make things up on their resume.

For the coding part, I try to pick things that don't depend on someone hearing about it previously. I try to solve the problem myself in 1/3 the time I allot to the candidate since they are under pressure. Most candidates seem to struggle with simple problem though.

A simple one I have asked in C is to reverse the order of numbers in an array in place.

Note also that this finding strongly suggests that neural net architecture actually is quite important, possibly even more important than having more data -- which contradicts the conventional wisdom!

People have tried to improve on that big grid of cells since VisiCalc in 1979. Considering it's the weakest part, it has been remarkably difficult to find something better.

As someone that spent years being buried in complex spreadsheets for hours a day (and supported and trained others who spent literally 12 hours a day building models), I can't think of a better combination of functionality, capability, and usability than that big grid of cells.

It's definitely a very case-by-case argument, but I definitely think there are times when regulation has hindered progress thru capitalism without improving any lives.

There are also plenty of cases where regulations have greatly improved outcomes by curbing capitalistic eventualities.

I'm personally conflicted about this particular case, and have no idea which will result in a "better" outcome when choosing between non-regulastion and regulation.

However, I strongly believe that limiting Google's overall power is a better solution than regulating particular ways that Google could abuse their power, as I think the former is a better route if regulation is the route you choose.

Yep. It's no different than my studio which I swapped out bunch of lights for Phillips hue lights. They had some plug ones that I went to Home Depot and spent like 1.50 on each adapter or something to make it work. When I leave, I'm taking my bulbs with me and replacing them with basic ones.

Same with a nest thermo. Swap out for a honeywell done. These things are pretty much low cost and minimal time commitment.

Technology trainings that are irrelevant to our products.

OkCupid.com + almost CyberStalking her via my “favorites” list. She initially told me she wasn’t available for dating. I liked her profile enough that I favorited it, and checked her profile every 2-3 days each time I sat down to email more women to get dates. When her profile changed, I messaged her asking if she was available now.

I got a 3 hour IM chat out of that. Which led to a date. Which led to more dates. Which led to me seeing a For Rent sign across the street from her place, and me fleeing the house I had occupied with my ex. Which led to a lot of impromptu interaction. Making dinner together and sharing plans helped us see what living together could be like. Which led to asking her to go to The Star Trek Experience in Vegas. Which led to the conception of our daughter. When our daughter was 3, I felt our relationship would stand the test of time, and asked her to marry me.

She said I was the only guy to contact her twice.

The ways I knew: she is brilliant, funny, agrees with me just enough to make things smooth, disagrees with me just enough to make things challenging and interesting (and inducing growth for both of us), ahem, great sex. But now after 9 years, it’s just every few days to a week, something happens between us that affirms our match is a great one, and we are lucky to have found each other.

Edit: prior to meeting her, the dozens of women I dated helped me see what I wanted, what I didn’t want, what I could put up with. And most importantly, what I was bringing to the table.
These are good questions.

Concurrent compacting collectors are pretty tough however, and a single process STW should be much faster than a global one, since it will be (at worst) proportional in time to the per process heap size.

Coffee.

Now before you get upset, my company spends thousands of dollars a month on shitty coffee beans, rented coffee machines, and a monthly cleaning service for those machines. They purchase Peet's coffee which is expensive but tastes like brewed cigarette butts and brew it in standard drip coffee machines that cost the equivalent of 3 new coffee machines each month. Most of the employees don't even drink the coffee, they brought their own Keurig machine and brew their own pods instead.
Once they're vested and settled, I agree. But because they must vest and settle, and can be awarded (or not) on discretionary grounds, they're closer to found money than they are salary in my budget. IMHO, it's bad personal finance to put yourself in a position where a missed bonus or stock event can screw up your daily finances.
That's true with "total information" co-op games like Forbidden Island and Pandemic (or Flash Point, which is another great one).

"Codenames Duet" though is an example of a co-operative game where the two teams are working together but have to make their own decisions - it's also very easy to pick up for new players, I highly recommend it.
Philosophically I agree with your stance.

In practice - and particularly in my circumstances - I've found the tracking clause to be palatable, or at least begrudgingly acceptable.

Perhaps my employer is an outlier, but they don't enforce minor infractions at all. So while the manual says we can track you 24/7 the reality is there is no tracking - I literally get calls from my boss asking what country I'm in because half the time they don't know where I am or what I'm doing.

I've seen the actual policy employed twice - in both cases the employee did something deeply unethical. The top dogs take a very dim view on that kind of stuff so the employees found themselves on the wrong end of HR reviewing policy compliance carefully. So be it - I don't need sketchy co-workers.

>It's strange to me that you assume that just because sources aren't named in public that no fact checking occurred.

It's hard to take things seriously when people/organizations do not take/put skin in the game.

From a risk perspective it is genuis, but from a readers perspective it is problematic in my opinion.( I am not a fan of gossip)

What's stranger to me is how you assume that they fact check....

For all I know they do, but it defeats the purpose of confidentiality agreements if sources speak up when they are explicitly told not too.

I don't know about "high", but there's at least two new things happening that jump out:

Depends on the type of employer. Mine certainly won't be selling any data to anyone. Their whole business model is trustworthiness & they're not going to wreck their (profitable) business model for a couple of bucks from selling data.
Currently web-ifying a huge pivot table (30+ columns) into a dynamic library SQL report for access via the web. It's a nightmare of horribly complicated aggregate grouping/totalling across many columns.

Additionally the original excel sheet made incorrect assumptions, resulting in a re-specification/design of what all the totals actually count.

NOT speedy.
Damn it, I don't need another computer. I really don't need another Linux machine in my life, even if it runs Debian - which I like very much - and probably runs it very well. I don't have a use case for a machine like this, even if it does appear very much to be the pocket computer I've never quite managed to stop wanting since earliest childhood. But I'm a grownup now, with adult-sized responsibilities, and I don't want for more worthy purposes to which to put the money I would spend on this.
