Most operational staff are hourly workers who don't get paid anywhere near what a engineer gets and hourly works usually don't get RSUs. You have to consider the 1000s people working on city ops, support, their insurance ops teams are huge, in the US alone they probably have 1 to 2k of people in support roles. Only salaried employees garner the big pay which is guess is less than half the company.

Ps... you'd crap your pants if you knew how many contractors they have doing operations work. Their mostly in low cost counties like the Philippines, and Brazil. Nothing about support scales with growth.

Is something still a PR shield against accusations if it is correct? I'd argue an actual rebuttal to the accusations is more than a PR shield. As described in my response, I consider the article to be a rebuttal of the accusations presuming they are not lying. Thus I conclude that it is not a PR shield. Notably, I'd say that outright lying about facts isn't a PR shield.

Thanks. I'm not mixing them up! I'm just wondering whether and to what degree architecture, i.e., network structure, will prove important for other, more advanced AI tasks, including up to AGI.
Yep! High volatility.
Not an expert so take this with a grain of salt; I could be misinterpreting the paper.

It seems that the current accepted method is to train a network with distorted images as the input and the correct undistorted images as the targets. Then after training you can feed a new distorted image into the trained network and get the estimated "fixed" image.

However this team actually uses the distorted image as both the input and the target to the net. So if they were to let the training go on for too long the network will produce an exact copy of the distorted input image. But for some reason, the structure of the network means that the estimated output learns realistic features first, and then overfits to the noise afterwords. So if you stop the training early, you get an image that incorporates realistic features from the distorted image, but hasn't had time to "learn" the noisy features.

This article is more of a compare and contrast between the US and UK education systems as a whole and very little if not zero on the undergraduate physics curriculum itself.

I majored in EECS, an engineering major, and I only took 3 semesters of physics. And so to disagree with a point in the article, I loved my out of major and out of engineering classes. At Berkeley you’re limited to 4 years and summer school. There were classes I wanted to take in my major that I couldn’t. But I took a lot and after 4 years, I was wiped and more would have been torture.

I prefer the US system. It’s more flexible.
is the structure of these CNNs learned or designed?

Do they run some kind of optimizer to learn the optimal CNN structure or does some person sit down and pick structures to include in it?
Pretty spot on. As an organizer, you're worried about turnout and interest along with the logistics. My thing is now, just let others do the organizing and show up and leave early if I want to.

>What do the best interviewers have in common?

Not sticking to some rigid formula or format. Being able to adjust to the particular candidate in a way that works for both sides.

For example, some people aren't great at answering questions rapid fire. Giving them a chance to mull on something, and come back to it later, might reveal something you would have missed.

Or, if they miss a question you feel was obvious, ask them what area they feel strong in...then ask a question in that space.

Interviewing is stressful, and so you're not necessarily getting a clear view of their skills if you aren't flexible.

Every time I (as a finance supposed "professional") comment on finance article on hn I get downvoted to hell.

Note to self - stick to IT stuff when interacting with IT crowd.

Yes dear IT crew, in the IT world virtualisation is in this month and docker next and kubernetes the month after. Finance side it's excel as swissknife this year and probably the next 5 years too. Get over it.

Anyway - see also djtriptych's post and associated video. Notice the complete lack of macros, programming logic, containerisation, automation, APIs or well really anything hn loves. It's just a digital hybrid scratchpad/calculator with a ton of shortcuts that are muscle memory for everyone.

Boggles my mind that HN can understand the whole vim vs emacs wars but not grasp that finance guys like their Excel for the exact same reason. It's disappointingly narrow-minded.
I switched once I needed the performance, but that was not near the end of developtment. The switch was made far from a point where the code, or even the algorithms were finished.

Thus it was required to do a lot of incremental development in C++. It wouldn't make sense to add in a manual transpilation at every increment, and I needed the actual C++ code to judge performance.

Overwatch is a good example of the progression of the FPS genre.

I'm 31 now, and my twitch reaction is nowhere near what it was in highschool, yet Overwatch offers a whole bunch of characters (around half) who don't require (or don't have) twitch / reaction gameplay.
There are characters who heal the other characters just by being in their vicinity, characters with beam weapons which automatically lock on to opponents, etc.

It absolutely is pissed away. Going back to the beer metaphor, at one time, the economy contained the (let's say) $8 used to create the beer and the $10 to buy the beer. After the beer is consumed, only the $10 remains, so the economy is $8 smaller. $8 was pissed away. My whole point is that economics isn't zero-sum, which appears to contradict your point, although I'm confused by your path efficiency remarks.

Sussman attains enlightenment

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky.

“I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied.

“Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky.

“I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.

Minsky then shut his eyes.

“Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.

“So that the room will be empty.”

At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

>Devil's advocate: sometimes, knowing the author of a work really can allow a reviewer/reader to make a more accurate assessment of its value.

>As an extreme example, if Stephen Hawking submits a paper that calls into question the speed of light as a universal constant, I'm much more likely to take it seriously

I'm sure Mr. Hawking, being so skilled in his field, can appropriately cite related work and lay out what he sees as it's flaws without resorting to an appeal to authority.

If you need such crutches to know when someone's paper is high quality, perhaps you are not fully invested in the reviewing process and should allow someone willing to take the time to fully evaluate all submitted works.
Not currently. I have experimented with coreboot but did not get far yet. We are tied into AMI for most machines right now, and I would love to cut them out and go open source!

> In case you're still thinking your iPhone is a crappy computer, No, the iPhone in your pocket is already performant enough to function as a full fledged server. It's the network that doesn't support it.

A crappy computer, no; a crappy server, yes. The available network is part of a server. A URL that points to a machine that can't be accessed whenever the owner goes into a tunnel, is a URL nobody will link to.

(Another part of the evaluation of "a server" is the available concurrent I/O throughput. There is a reason the term "slashdotted" exists, and thinking an iPhone—or even a home PC—makes a good server for serving anything with any exponential-interest-curve potential is it. This is also the reason why nobody has built the sequel to Iridium using cube-sats.)

> Unless this comes as completely free AND it comes built into the device

Yes, that's exactly the future that cloudlet advocates like IBM are talking about:

1. the ISPs run compute clusters at the edge, including both setting up traditional co-los, and making their in-home gateway modems into compute hosts as well;

2. the device/"cloud" providers (Apple, Google, etc.) make agreements with said ISPs to pay for time on those edge-clouds;

3. the device/"cloud" providers resell (possibly at a loss, to encourage lock-in) the use of the aggregate edge-cloud to the app developers on their platforms; or, they let developers use the edge-cloud in their apps for free, and pass the costs onto only heavy users, the same way they do with document storage today;

4. the users of these devices suddenly have cloudlet-enabled apps, and most don't have to pay a cent more.

Amusingly, you can already see that the device/"cloud" providers are trying to short-circuit this whole process, skipping the ISP step, by simply selling people consumer-electronics devices that could sit in their homes, connected to ZeroTier-like overlay networks, hosting mobile cloudlets. You know, like the Google Home and Amazon Echo.

> You seem convinced that additional appeals can only work in the defendants favor.

No denying that in the general case greater rights of appeal could work against the defendant as well as in favour of them. But in practice it all depends on how defendant-friendly the federal and individual state court systems actually are. I'm sure that for at least some US states, if the federal court system was granted Australian-style supremacy over them, the end result would be more defendant-friendly than it is now. Maybe for some other states it would be the opposite, but you have to ask which of those two situations would be the more common.
> You'd need the compiler source, audit it for backdoors, then compile that with a trustworthy compiler. Then use the resulting compiler to compile the ME source.

It is possible (though somewhat time-intensive) to audit binaries, too. If there is real demand for this, it should be possible to crowdscale the auditing problem over a large group of OSS enthusiasts.

Instead of looking for patterns from itself on others images (training data) it starts with noise and deforms such noise based on patterns found on itself and favors deformations closer to the input image; eventually reaching something close to the input image without the noise (cause the noise it's pattern-less or at least weak enough to die over stronger patterns)

It seems like it should be similar in capability to a wavelet-based approach to e.g. image inpainting. In other words the neural network architecture essentially establishes a basis of features onto which the image is projected. Gabor wavelets are known to occur in the human visual system as the 'image elements' in a similar setup -- Gabor wavelets are kind of optimal, but clearly the features that this nn architecture uses are pretty effective too.
Sure. You buy a distressed house with leverage. Improve it, which if done in a smart way should raise the value more than what you spend on renovations. You can then go and refinance at the new appraised value, taking cash out. You take that cash and buy another property. Do this over and over and eventually you have a portfolio of properties and consistent cashflow from your rent roll. Granted this will likely take longer than a few months. You could probably do one flip in that timeframe, however.

"Everyone talks about trying to create a new type of programming environment, something intuitive and visual and that lets you think in new and creative ways. Excel is exactly that" - yes, it is, except it is a way too old already though all the notable competitors seem dedicating all the efforts to reproducing its legacy as closely as possible. I'd love to see an attempt to design a brand-new spreadsheet from scratch, built around a modern programming language (like Python instead of fossil VBA), modern practical file formats (like HDF5 and SQLite instead of obscure and clumsy xls, xlsx and ods) and all the experience and advances in the UX science accumulated during the recent years. Good news are some projects are heading this way already, e.g. pyspread and jamovi (they can hardly be taketn too serious at this moment but at least they illustrate there are people that see the problems of "classic" spreadhseets and have viable ideas on solving them).
Hi I'm the guy in the interview.

I actually have a lot of thoughts about this that are hard to condense, so I'll just say this: curiosity isn't a personality trait. People tend to model curiosity as just something you "have" or not, but curiosity is actually a function of knowledge you already have. You can only really be curious about things that are adjacent to things that you already know about. I would say the best way to find ideas is to just do a lot of different things. There's no formula, but you can maximize your odds by just learning about as many different kinds of things as possible.
You are likely right. I have seen people pull off flips that are this profitable, but its pretty rare.

This is great work. It shows that some of the "amazing" results of deep learning are not as deep and don't even require learning!

In my view this also sheds some light on the GAN's and their ability to generate "real looking images". Perhaps there is much less to generating "real looking images" then everyone attributes. E.g. in this work, the network clearly knows exactly nothing about the world and generates good looking in-paint.
