One of the core operations of the transformer network[1] is a (LxL) x (LxE) matrix multiply (where L is the sentence length and E is the network width). Can you be more specific about how you would get good performance without specializing on L?

Why is not fair to have more ways to not allow drunk people to drive and depend on having policemen stopping you?
Is your need to drive drunk more important then the life of others?

Let's assume your car won't let you start if drunk, there will be a fail-safe mode, you activate that in case of emergency and start it and drive to a hospital because there is an emergency. In case the car is broken and it is reporting false positive we could have rules so you get compensated for this issue by the people at fault for the false positive.

Your argument is like saying that forcing people to learn to drive is too much.

My point is that the bad drivers problem has more solutions not only a less bad AI autopilot.
Right, and it takes off the monopoly burden from those telcos so they are then free under the same Pai to ratchet up their underhanded techniques. If I were ATT and Verizon, I would fund Starlink.
I'd argue it's about not saying "we've found a way increase the margin on our services"
Using localbitcoin to buy them. I either send them to a wallet for long term storage or use uphold to change to usd.

I'm only buying in btc "saving money". Local currency (which my business generates) is spent either in supplies, wages, or just living here. I have yet to change some btc back to local currency (Which I might do to make a large purcharse or some emergency), but will probably just change USD cash (it will be easier).

BTC is not being used for small purchases (So no bitcoin to pay for coffee). Is really just used as "store of wealth". Most business could take USD if you want to use it for payment and some even demand USD (car repairs, construction work, that kind of stuff). Most people DO know about bitcoin, but I wouldn't say is mainstream to own it. There's still fear about volatility.
it is an injunction to policy makers, not a discovery of new methods.

Per the article, there is nothing special about the IMU they're using. What's novel here is the use of a foot-mounted pressure sensor and inverse kinematics to correct for accelerometer noise.
Here's the crux of the issue with respect to nuclear WMDs:

In order to prevent citizens and other countries from creating nuclear bombs, our government severely limits access to relevant tools and materials, and actively seeks to censor the knowledge of how to build modern nuclear devices from other parties.

How to Wrap a REST API with GraphQL
The quality of what's being delivered since version 5 leaves a lot to be desired. They should really more people to their team and someone better since a lot of people depend on this code. Also, what's up them not understanding how semver works and releasing a pre-release code as the regular version. That's pretty basic man and rarely someone is OSS fucks up this badly actually.
> If the Company has any foreign employees, separately list (by country) all benefits provided to foreign employees.

How does this work for startups employing their foreign employers as independent contractors? Also, it might be helpful to mandate startups provide documentation how they're adhering to local labor regulations in countries outside of US jurisdiction (especially if you're a US company hiring in Europe; their local labor regulations differ substantially from US labor law).

Also, under Material Agreements, I don't see anything called out for compliance with GDPR for startups expecting to or currently serving users in the EU. Does YC perform diligence in this regard considering the 4% of annual revenue penalty for those in violation of the GDPR?

Very helpful resource, really appreciate YC sharing it.
> The more sophisticated hires will realize this and you may then have to increase their compensation (in equity, cash or both) to make up the difference to avoid a morale issue.

What about the less sophisticated hires? Employees are trusting founders not to screw them over. I'd expect this piece to advise either: a) educating less-sophisticated employees, or b) increasing compensation for all employees that didn't get their equity grants before the term sheet.
This is just absolutely unprofessional.

From what I understand, the ban _mechanism_ is still a shadowban in that you can still post and other users can vouch your comments, but the mods will tell you when they've banned you which goes against the original purpose of shadowbanning (banning people without them catching on).
As a kid, i used to use my ancient portable phone to walk down the street and tune into other phones, and baby monitors. I remember one mother always singing itailian sounding songs to quiet her child and found it touching. Then I realized I was basically peering in to the private lives of those around me to a weird level. Things later went digital, more consumer spectrum opened up, and these 'hacks' largely stopped working. I had moved on to computers by that time.
I’m super excited about what they’re doing; but the average reader would be reasonably expected to interpret this headline as SpaceX starting their deployment. It is no such thing.

> I think you are missing the point of my comment; the burden of proof is on the entity claiming election meddling

Sure, and the initial evidence implicating specific Russian individuals and organizations in that has been presented to a grand jury which has found probable cause, hence the indictments which have been issued.

We also have at least one guilty plea of a Trump campaign staffer for lying to the feds specifically about attempting to coordinate with the Russians on the election. That's not just an indictment, it's a confession.

And the evidence keeps advancing.
A lot of people stay in hotels because there is a certain consistency even if they are more expensive and less nice usually. Airbnb Plus is a way to make sure Airbnb is as consistent as possible to compete. If you want the cheapest possible room, you can just get a normal Airbnb and not pay slightly more for someone to check that there is an extra toothbrush and a bottle of wine when you check in
>homeowner in NY or CA

>deserves to be screwed to benefit rich folks

Hate to break it to you but if you own a home in NY or CA your probably one of the rich folks.
> I hate all this cloak and dagger stuff, to be honest.

I'm sure most agree. But the purpose of the obfuscation is to make the jobs of those who wish to abuse the system harder. So we, normal users, are trading the inconvenience of an opaque system in exchange for (hopefully) a less abused system. I'm willing to make that trade and, as the sibling points out, you might as well flag/vouch/vote/downvote and let dang and company do as they please with the data you've offered them.

Personally, as long as HN continues to be better than Reddit, for the kind of discussions I come here for, I will continue to participate regardless of the underlying system.
Something like 92% of Americans don't own a boat, let alone one fancy enough to have an autopilot. 99.9% of Americans don't own a plane. As such, most Americans have no exposure to an autopilot and its functionality beyond perhaps having heard the name.

Tesla themselves muddle the waters. On https://www.tesla.com/autopilot, it states "All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver."

Further down, it talks about "Full Self-Driving Capability", "All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go.", "The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat.", etc.

It's not shocking folks have gotten the impression it's a self-driving feature instead of a fancy cruise control.
I think my point was that GM wouldn't have this product to sell in the first place unless someone else already took those risks. They want to sell the product that someone else made possible.

Now, as others have pointed out there is a market for that, and a great many people prefer the feeling of reliability they get from GM's offering. I just wouldn't call that innovation.
To sum it up, the ignorance of the harsh realities of life, especially (but not exclusively!) for the lower class. HN is a circlejerk (oh my bad, "echo chamber") of idealists, whether they are utopian or dystopian, pretty far removed from reality.

It's the same all over social media "circles", which is why I just gave up on it all, it's more like show off media. If you participate, share your actual thoughts without trying to fit in.. Or just take full on advantage of the circus. Cue the downvotes.
What is the issue with PyQt5?
It is 0.99 deaths/100 mil in California, but fair enough. I'm not sure where you got your "well over 10mil miles" data. Last time I checked, Waymo clocked 3mil, Uber 2mil, Cruise <0.5mil, and the rest are small potatoes, so it looks more like maybe 6-7 million miles to date at best (though if you can provide a reference that would be great). But that aside, you are missing one more important point:

Current autonomous cars still have a backup driver. So what we are measuring here is a compound safety level of autonomous tech + attentive, professional, sober human. The real data of interest is the safety level of autonomous vehicle alone. We don't have that data. We can proxy it, by looking at the numbers of disengagements and their severity, and that data currently does not look particularly good. But nonetheless it is just proxy data. Once a larger scale tests without backup drivers are concluded, we will get a better picture. Until then, I advise to withhold from any statements such as "autonomous vehicles are much safer than humans", because they are simply not supported by any data.

As for you final statement, I bet there are many undeveloped countries or particular cities with huge number of deaths per mile. But exceeding their death rate on US roads is not anything to be celebrated.
The part right above it is interesting too...

> If you have any pending or promised equity grants you haven’t already taken care of before you start your Series A process, do that ASAP.

Huh? Seriously? If someone promises me equity I expect that finalized within weeks. How many companies just have promised equity sitting around without the paperwork being done?

Edit:

Some super good points about board approval. Most of the company's I've worked at have the rules of the options pool voted on by the board but the grants can be given out without board approval (as long as they were the standard new hire grant and nothing unusual). But I can see how if something like that isn't in place it could take a while.
Afaik Robinhood is actually buying and selling coins on existing exchanges and baking any fees into the spread. For example, gdax doesn't charge any fee if you are a maker/using limit orders.
Before they were in cars, autopilots in planes were there to keep the plane on the approximate course, in good conditions, with the pilot expected to supervise the operation and take over at immediate notice. Difference?
I am not blaming people, maybe my comment wasn't formulated properly. What I meant is "don't do it, there is an alternative".

I think no documentation should ever include sudo in their commands. You should put a note "depending on your environment, some of those commands might require root privileges" or something.
Seems like you could get all this done with conda. Just a thought.

I have pretty good status on my regular airline so I typically book directly. With hotels, I often go for "serviced apartments" and long-term stay oriented suite hotels. I want a staffed desk but other than that I really don't use full-service hotel features all that much. And the alternatives are often at least a bit cheaper and can have larger rooms.

Non-payment of judgements is likely built in as a cost of doing business, alongside a general unwillingness to seek awards on a contingency basis against people with no assets. Also, taking on an anti-SLAPP case with mandatory attorney's fees on a contingency basis means that the list price for the fees is more of a tool to extract wealth out of the other side, kind of like list prices in healthcare.

Absolutely! The article said exactly the correct thing. The headline - something entirely different.
I don't understand this at all. It's 2018. My dev. env. for <insert thing> is some text editor that knows how to "jump to definition" and "find all usages" (this is sometimes referred to as "IDE"), and a bunch of Dockerfiles to build and run the tests.

They don't explicitly state this, but I really hope one of the things they guarantee with Plus is that the host isn't expecting you to cover up the fact that you're in an AirBNB.

I love the service overall, but I absolutely hate getting the morning-of-checkin email saying "Hey can't wait to host you, by the way, tell the receptionist you're my cousin and if any of the neighbors are in the hallway please just pace around the elevator until they leave." This seems to happen 90% of the time in New York places.

> but the biggest problem is that the reviews are always so artificial you honestly have zero idea of what you're getting into.

> I just add the problem by leaving positive reviews even when I'm unhappy with the place

So stop actively making the problem worse. Retaliatory reviews aren't a thing, because the host can't see your review until after they post theirs, and the only outcome from a potential host tracking down all of your past hosts' listings, digging through possibly dozens or hundreds of reviews to find yours, and finding out that you said that the listing wasn't as described is that you'll get suckered by fewer accommodations that aren't as described. There's no good reason to post a falsely positive review of a bad listing.
The second point is salient - theoretical hardware capability is still a long shot from actual Level 5 autonomous driving.
It would only work for walking planes. :)
man Gitlab continues slaying it here! The acquisition of Gemnasium is another big boost for their CI pipeline tools which are already fantastic. I love them building out the CI/CD architecture, not just from a user perspective, I think it gives them a big competitive advantage long term.

I must say I never would have predicted Gitlab being this good of a product 3-4 years ago, they're doing a lot of things right in that company. I'd like to actually know more about who is behind it, is there a mojombo?
Now I don't have all the information at my fingertips but IIRC with KRACK it was OpenBSD (not all the BSDs) that commited the fix early and they _did_ have permission to do this but the security researcher did regret giving this to them.

I think (but not really sure someone please correct me) that openbsd has a policy of not signing NDAs but I think freebsd devs are willing. Why they, netbs, or illumos (although I have no information on how they handle these kinds of disclosures) wasn't alerted is beyond me.
I find virtualenv much easier to manage and use than docker. Unless you're changing dependencies and versions multiple times over a day, it's not a pain.
>a lot of people will say to this, "if you don't do anything wrong you've got nothing to hide"

That kind of assumes legally OK is everywhere and always the same as ethical, morally OK. Which is I guess easy to do, until life teaches you personally that there's a wide gulf between the two.

Never said it should be the default, just an option (like it is in Reddit). Also, one would hope even the below average HN reader wouldn't be surprised by a new window.
You're quite right. But, how many tech people do you think are willing to inconvenience themselves with a heavy laptop or a bulky smartphone if it meant that they were repairable? My opinion is that the vast majority will continue to line up to buy the latest shiny use-and-throw bauble from TechCompanyX, while railing against coal and plastics. I'm just against the "Do as I say, not as I do" mindset.
That's builtin (bottom bar of hn)
Would you mind doing a writeup? More and more people are have mentioned their success in using nix, but from what I've seen, there hasn't been a huge amount of accompanying docs.
What happened? Google fired someone for citing politically incorrect scientific facts in a memo trying to use those facts to guide making the workplace as welcoming to femanine personalities as it is to masculine. (Much of the tech industry certainly seems biased in that respect, currently.)

There’s a lot of propaganda out there; if you think a Damore said women were at all less competent than men, go read the actual memo complete with citations and graphs.

Obviously naming political incorrectness (in a context of good intentions) a fireable offense is going to have reverberations throughout the tech industry.

I wouldn’t doubt that Google has HR bias in the other political direction also.

I think what most people want is for more transparency and consistency on a company’s policies at least on precisely what is and isn’t permitted for employees to discuss.

Just one experience, but the CEO of a startup I used to work for faked his college degree and had previously been sued by the FTC. (We found out only after he blew up the company.) None of the investors we talked to noticed anything.
It happens. Option grants require board approval or are sometimes waiting on new 409a valuations. It would be nice to turn them all around quickly but it’s not always feasible. The advice quoted is good advice.

So she is allergic to something that is dissolved in tap water and other usual presentations of water. (Is she allergic to bottled water? All the brands?) Not allergic to H2O. Almost all the foods have a 30% or more part of H2O, so being allergic to H2O is ultra fatal.
Gemini is ok, but less volume than GDAX and I'm not sure they have a free type of orders. Also Gemini's interface is personally less interesting for day trading. But to that point GDAX's graphing interface is a bit odd and represents data differently than say trading view.

Trading view is by far the best to check out a coin, see its indicators etc imo.

Still I think it's good to diversify your funds over various exchanges, just in case of a hack.
Here's the system I was talking about. It used dead reckoning and landmarks (turns) to periodically re-calibrate the fix. This was all done with 80s technology.

> Cheap dead reckoning sensors have so much error and drift right now as to be mostly useless for driving.

I don't think anyone's saying that it would be used for the driving part (i.e. car control), just as an option for orienting the car in the wider world beyond its direct perception.
Yes, it is very common. I work a lot with ML code released as part of research papers. Everyone uses a different version of TF/PyTorch or whatever framework they are using. I can't imagine working without something like virtualenv (though I use pipenv)
