I would need $330k/yr in San Francisco, over $450k in Palo Alto to match my current standard of living. Probably a little more since my state/local taxes are a low double digit percentage of what they would be in California. Not to mention the fact I can get from my home to my office in 15 minutes during rush hour. Which in either of those two places mean I'd need to be within walking distance.

Cue all the people saying it's "easy" or "just a matter of time" to get a $500k/yr job at Netflix or some garbage, but the truth is most software developers aren't going to work for any of the Big n companies, and will top out their comp around $125-175k cash and some RSUs that will be worthless 90% of the time. Even in Silicon Valley. So you get to make ~10% more in SV doing the same job you'd be doing in Minneapolis or Omaha or Pittsburgh or Charlotte or Reno for a cost of living that means you get to take home $500/mo in disposable income, sit in traffic for two hours each way, and pay one of the highest state tax rates in the country.

I'd rather make slightly less and have a maxed out 401k, Roth, be making double payments on my mortgage (how many people in SF can even have a mortgage, let alone pay it off in ~12 years, without being millionaires?), and be able to drive from my home to my office in less time than it takes the 2009 Patriots to make 5 touchdowns.

I am not romanticising the past. I am not advocating to stop using smartphones altogether. What I am saying is that people by and large don't seem to use it in a healthy way.

It seems many of the folks are using smartphones exactly in the way you describe- as an ill defined and uncertain but good enough means to plug some passing hole in your day. Is that good? I don't know. Are you losing out on using that time to prioritize what matters to you? Probably. The most damning thing about this is that you are constantly reaching for something with no fixed outcome planned in advance and allow that to temporarily occupy your mental space (if I wanted to exaggerate I'd say "hijack your mind"). This does not look like a good thing to me.

This is a well known "feature" (because it is not a bug) of BGP and every ISP worth their salt ought to be doing route filtering to prevent this sort of thing. If they're not, then the traffic can be diverted to Russia or the proverbial bit bucket rather trivially.

I understand that less network savvy readers think this story is about Russia, but it really is about ISP's and the old issue of lazy network admins who do not filter routes and what happens. You can replace "Russia" with "Canada" and it wouldn't change the meaning. The country attribution is based on the AS (Autonomous System) registration. If these were really the malicious state actors, they'd probably use an AS registered in another country to cover their tracks. This is either an honest mistake or possibly a "let's see what would happen" prank.
Hey America, maybe you should go after people "speaking about technical matters" on climate-change denial instead of this stupid bullshit.

It's not like you're doing anything useful with your first amendment rights anyway. I'm 100% serious btw, selectively enforced right to free speech is objectively worse.

Ask for more! They've been paying you as little as they could get away with, and they're now realizing they underestimated. Ask them to significantly beat the other offer to make up for the past underpaid years. If they're only willing to match it, they're still paying you as little as they have to. Take your allegiance elsewhere.

I don't owe $60k because the USG has $60k in per capita debt. Nobody's coming to me for that. The mental gymnastics you need to go through just to equate the two is exhausting.

"Legally binding" and "advice" are mutually exclusive concepts. And it's 100% possible you can give great financial advice and be in debt. "Max out your 401k and a Roth IRA" is great advice in 99% of circumstances. Just because someone is paying off high interest credit cards instead doesn't make the advice invalid or their choice of priorities incorrect.

I had a nasty (ok fun) snow-filled commute the other morning. It was still dark out, the roads were a combination of slush, and heavy snow that obliterated all the lines, and the windshield and front of my car were caked over. It was slippery and overall challenging, even for an AWD car with a very experienced driver behind the wheel. On one two-lane street, I had to dodge an oncoming car that was too far into my lane because that clueless idiot could not tell where the center line was.

I can't fathom how an autonomous vehicle could navigate such conditions.

Sild Road admin Ross Ulbricht aka "Dread Pirate Roberts" arrested with laptop left running, unlocked.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9545085

What unfolded next was a piece of improvisational theater. At 3:14 pm, DPR was typing away, writing to Cirrus. Just then, a middle-aged woman and man came toward Ross, ambling along in the kind of semihomeless shuffle you might often see in a San Francisco library. “Fuck you!” the woman yelled when they were directly behind Ross’ chair. As if they were a deranged couple about to fight, the man grabbed the woman by the collar and raised his fist.

Ross turned around for just a second, during which a hand reached across the table and grasped Ross’ Samsung. The petite, unassuming young Asian woman sitting across from Ross this whole time was, to everyone’s surprise, also an FBI agent. Ross lunged for his machine, a hair too late, as she turned like a quarterback for a quick handoff to Kiernan, who appeared out of nowhere—as instructed—to get the laptop. It took less than 10 seconds. From afar, Tarbell was astonished by the elegant choreography of the whole thing. It looked like the police procedural version of a tight jazz quartet.

The first alternate notation I think in maths, I used was dot (period) notation for scalar multiplication. Next would be different versions of standard form (aka engineering notation).

Later, at high-school (UK, 16-18yo) we used both d/dx type notation for differentiation and x-dot (a dot above the letter for each level of differentiation).

There would be 3 versions of x= ut + (at^2)/2 that we'd know, this one, d/dx, and dot-notation; primarily the former was used in physics and the latter in maths. We'd also use suffixed numbering, u_0, u_1 on occasions and use u, v, w on other occasions.

One important point - they're not different equations, just written differently.

You write for your audience, in an advanced paper you can abbreviate and use shorthand because you know the reader (in general) will understand.

As an undergrad I found that each department I studied in would tend to use different notation - chemistry, ecology, maths, physics, computing - for the same things. Though sometimes different professors would buck the trend ... they also had different accents and vocabulary, our QFT professor loved the word recapitulation.

You also get different symbol use, like rho for density in one domain and d in another; but that's not really notation per se.

TL;DR sometimes you come across different notation earlier. Different notation doesn't change the equation.

Hi, Adrian here, author of the book you are referencing. You are referring to the highest tier of the book. There are other lower tiers as well that are cheaper.

The highest tier (again, which you are referring to) includes 800+ pages, detailed experiment journals on how to reproduce the state-of-the-art publications (ResNet, SqueezeNet, VGG, etc.) on ImageNet (which is 1.2 million images). I demonstrate how to implement each model from scratch and then train them, detailing which parameters to change and when. The highest tier is for people looking to train really large networks on massive datasets where you could be spending thousands of dollars in the cloud for GPU costs (you can't train these networks without a GPU, or ideally multiple GPUs). I've also included the pre-trained models as well if people want to get started with them and skip training. This tier is really for researchers/practitioners who need to save time and finances by starting with experiment journals that detail how to replicate the results.

The lower tiers are for people just (1) getting started with deep learning in context of computer vision and/or (2) looking to apply best practices. Each book also includes video tutorials/lectures once I have finished putting them together. Realistically I should rebrand the book as a course as it's much more in line with something you would get from Udacity (only with more theory and more detailed code and implementations).

If anyone has any questions about the book do feel free to ask.
Since when is just being able to hold a student's attention 75% of the time entertainment? It's much more nuanced than my original comment, I understand, but the assumption that simply removing the device (which I agree is the way to go) will suddenly get kids involved in their learning doesn't take into account all the missteps that occur before the child or teacher enter that classroom. Whether it's staffing, fiscal planning at an admin level that reduces actual classroom instruction, lack of classroom management PD for staff that may need it or a permissive parent.

> I assumed that Wall Street would stay away.

> I assumed that Bitcoin’s extreme volatility would be a turnoff.

Anyone who thinks these things is not paying attention to the historically low realized and implied volatility of the major market indexes and its negative effects its having on the largest market participants by volume (MM+HFT firms) who's profits are correlated to overall volatility and who's technology easily translates.

One thing I think is underappreciated with crypto is just how easy it is to setup a high-frequency trading bot on these new exchanges vs the equity exchanges. GDAX has totally free real-time non-rate limited Level 3 quote access via websocket, sub-millisecond fill rates, literally no commission for market making activities, and co-location is just a matter of picking the right AWS region and a bit of luck. That's a couple million bucks, an enormous expense in servers to handle the data volume, and a few dozen partnership agreements to get something similar for the equity or option markets.

If you have spent your career dealing with all that, even if you've been closely following the crypto industry, it may not even occur to you how different the market structure is until you spend a few days coding up a bot that can detect a signal and roundtrip a trade in < 100ms from my consumer laptop at home.

Got it, thanks. Agree about the layers of abstraction. In fact, a similar example, though from BASIC: way back I had read a very good book on it, in which the author showed the creation and use of many data structures and algorithms using nothing but arrays, and indexes as pointers to other elements (in other arrays). It was not difficult to follow, either.

Other models showing the hockey stick does not negate the fact (??) that someone else made a rigged model to show a hockey stick. The point of bringing up the bad model isn't to refute climate change, it's to show that people will go to great lengths to "prove" climate change regardless of the data. It's a statement about politics invading science. Something we need to be acutely aware of when trying to address problems at a global level.

note: the ?? above is to indicate my own uncertainty about the rigged model. I didn't see it myself. It's unfortunate that "truth" is so elusive.

I'm really struck by how hostile to enterprise security these proposals are. Yes, I know that the security folks will adapt (they'll have to), but it still feels like there's a lot of baby+bathwater throwing going on.

DNS over HTTP is a prime example: blocking outbound DNS for all but a few resolvers, and monitoring the hell out of the traffic on those resolvers is a big win for enterprise networks. What the RFC calls hostile "spoofing" of DNS responses enterprise defenders call "sinkholing" of malicious domains. Rather than trying to add a layer of validation to DNS to provide the end user with assurance that the DNS request they got really is the name they asked for (and, in theory, allow the enterprise to add their own key to sign sinkhole answers) instead DOH just throws the whole thing out...basically telling enterprise defenders "fuck your security controls, we hate Comcast too much to allow anyone to rewrite DNS answers."

"Fuck your security controls, we hate Comcast" is, I think, a bad philosophy for internet-wide protocols. (That's basically what the TLS 1.3 argument boils down to also...and that's a shame.)

So you'd never say to someone "use a bubble sort" or "try a bitwise trie" you'd lay it out in full, commented code each time?

When you say "I abstract it in a function" that's surely what a mathematician is doing when they say "then we have a BVP and it naturally follows ...", they're applying the function "treatAsBVP". If you don't understand that step then you go and learn that, just as someone would have to find a library and look at an abstracted function used in your code to understand what it returns.
That syntax is from very early days of sh itself (predecessor of bash), IIRC. So removing it would break many scripts, as sibling comment by jhasse said.
