Isn’t linear regression the easiest of all ML to understand? It’s neural networks that cause black boxes.
Kindly think a little deeper into what you're reading instead of leaping to insult people.

There is a difference between explaining why people do things and approving of it? I was literally explaining why the "insidious" sexism existed. I even quoted what I wanted to elaborate on.

MIT’s New Robots Can Build the Custom Furniture of Your Dreams
I like how the article talks about the price and the specs but has no real shots. Maybe price and specs are what makes it appealing to people but not shots? ;-) Crazy high price, full frame, interchangeable lenses, BIONZ, megapixel, yada yada, no sample shots.

Although cameras with interchangeable lenses are not obsolete yet, I think innovations through software has been so phenomenal. The economy of scale has never worked so well. In many cases, the iPhone/Pixel with that tiny cheap camera sensors could do a good of a job as the bulky lenses and sensors of the $2k one. It's so ridiculous to me that cool stuff such as the bokeh effect or different lighting conditions or green screen effects can be computed/simulated to a believable degree in software. It still absolutely boggles my mind that my pixel in 2016 blew my Sony 2012 mirrorless camera away in terms of performance when shooting at nights (and in daylight when compared to using the kit lens).

I think if this trend continues, it's not long before interchangeable lenses cameras become in the same bin as tube amps, hi-def lossless mp3 players, handmade watches, film cameras, and nice turntables. These niches appealing to a very few and demand a crazy price (and maybe they have real merits), but you know that ship has sailed.
How would you translate this?

Your comment is way more trollish than mine, and contains four separate meritless ad hominem attacks. If you don't want to participate in a discussion of words and their meanings that I opened then the solution is to move on, not try to shut it down.
It works pretty well and is fairly straightforward to use. It can be really frustrating if you have more advanced requirements for your editable tables, but it works great and is documented pretty well for its intended use cases.
The paper mentioned that the Brazilians considered electronic voting machines would be something to help fight against fraud.
Besides that you could consider speed. The election results in Brazil are usually released on the same day of the election. In Brazil the election happens in a single day (on a Sunday) where the whole country is focused in doing one single thing - vote! :)
Maybe if you read the other thread you'll have a more informed opinion on the issue.
How many seconds would you like?

For true Raw it would be 40Mpix×10bitx60Hz. That's 3GB/sec which greatly exceeds the imager transport speed. Even 4k@30Hz 10bit RGB Raw would be ~900MB/sec depending on how they down-sample Bayer, which is several times the imager transport limit (2-5Gb?). Even the highest speed SD cards can barely do 100MB/sec write speeds (edit: some can now do 250MB/sec but they are only 64GB) so you would need a DDR-DRAM buffer for as much as you wanted to store. 32GB would give you ~30sec burst, and you could get 4 bursts separated by 5min on a 128GB card, but your battery wouldn't last long.

Really high dynamic range M-JPEG would be reasonable unless you're trying to resolve the noise in your CIS.
> Are there other projects with numerous corporate contributors, then, which were threatened or destroyed by poor patches? My perception is that Postgres has a large number of corporate contributors, but they don't seem to be hurting for it.

There's definitely sometimes strains showing. Corporations have often interest in getting specific features in, but don't care that much about maintaining the codebase and/or maintainability.

Definitely causes some strife. I think we most of the time keep it civil enough.

Tunisian female here. The answer is simple for Tunisian women. The highest paying jobs are in Engineering and Medicine and all of the other jobs are miserable. That combined with a free-ish education where you can choose any field, makes the choice obvious.

I personally see the lack of women in STEM in Western countries as a good thing, it means that they are doing well economically and don't have to deal with the tedious STEM education and workload.
Often game developers put various hidden cheat modes into the code. For example pressing a secret combination or sequence of buttons will add 1000 lives, or give the player a large amount of in-game cash, or unlock all the levels, etc.

This makes it easier to test the game, preventing game testers from having to play through the entire game, just to test one part of it.
"Given that there’s an overall female advantage in school—one largest in language courses, smallest in math courses, according to the paper—why isn’t there a corresponding advantage, in terms of pay and high-powered positions, for females later, at work?"

Maybe simply because the workplace has nothing to do with how school is organized?
Fwiw, I didn't mean to imply that my wish that people stop making more people was due to fears of overpopulation. (We have so much empty space left! And new technologies to discover, and so on.) Rather, it's based on my own desire to not exist.

I use k3 at work every day. It's perfectly readable to me.

Every summer we spend about a week training interns with K, and they proceed to read, modify and write real production code with it during their tenure. Interns come from a mix of backgrounds- computer science, various engineering degrees, etc. This seems compelling evidence that K is learnable.

If you find K unreadable, consider spending a week or two seriously working with it. You might be surprised how you feel afterwards.

Don't waste your time with them.
When you talk about mapping (patterns of the) the input pixels to discrete classes, I don't think thats entirely what people do. We have the ability to make "distributed representations" of concepts e.g. word2vec, GloVe, etc which contain the idea that a sheep is pretty similar to a dog. The classes are far from discrete.

I'm pretty sure people train image recognizers to output these representations, which can include states like 51% certainty dog, 48% certainty sheep, 1% other, and if you aren't sure, take the best choice.

Its such an intuitive idea to combine these things that if it hasn't happened in the literature yet (I only looked for 1 minute), its because 1000 people have tried it, failed to improve the state of the art, and didn't publish.

On the other hand, we're generally pretty bad at inferring and generalizing 3d structure out of images, so I tend to blame that.

What should they do?

Are you suggesting Jeff The Genius - who has aspirations to put a man on the moon - can't figure something out? Somehow?

The better question: Why are they doing nothing?

The answer is obvious.
Agree adoptive parents are doing something great for a child in need, but I don't accept the Malthusian corollary you often see taken as granted, that having kids is a net cost on the planet.

People in the '80s were certain we'd soon exhaust global coal supplies. The 1880s. Now we are more likely to replace it with alternatives as run out. Before that it would have been kerosene or whale oil.

This isn't unique to fuel.

Minerals were harder to come by in the 1930s, when we had 2 billion people, than they are today, with 7.5. We've made them more abundant not less:

This is counterintuitive at first, but we're really good at finding more efficient ways to do things.

Or... economies of scale kick in when you have enough people, especially once you don't need to dedicate almost everyone to farming, when you can add some inventors and chemists, say.

Maybe that's why historically humanity has had far more to fear from population crashes than booms.

Turning matter into MIPS is not a sin. Adding processing power is one of the best ways to make stuff more valuable.
Something like this could be a way to get finally rid of advertisements, and help finance free services in a novel new way if the CPU isn't over committed. I thought the same around crypto mining... Many people might prefer the resource providing/computation option compared to ads.
Oh, that was unexpected. The objections I’ve heard thus far have been about overpopulation. Tell me more about that.

Raising children is really hard. If you don’t want them, don’t have them. We don’t need any more traumatized children (and then adults) from homes where they weren’t loved. (It’s amazing how long a bad childhood haunts you - my best buddy, 50 years old and openly successful in all ways, has tremendous anxiety easily attributes to his parent’s neglect).
A decent number of prosumer cameras allow you to record raw video via HDMI, to an external recorder with a proper hard drive.
The article makes exactly that point:

"I asked Wendy Williams, founder and director of the Cornell Institute for Women in Science, what she makes of these findings. She wrote that if girls expect they can "live a good life" while working in the arts, health or sciences, then girls choose to pursue what they are best at—which could be STEM, or it could be law or psychology. She added, "However, if the environment offers limited options, and the best ones are in STEM, girls focus there...""
Do you really mean “equality of opportunity?” It seems self-evident that the term requires substitutability: someone would have the same experience going into STEM if you switched around the gender.

My recollection of engineering school was that the experience was not substitutable. The five women in a class did not have the same experience as the 45 men. For example, as a man I never tried to make a professional connection with someone, but then realized that they wanted a date instead.

You mean the one where the first line of the top comment says "Notice that most of the comments here are describing post-hoc how having children has been fulfilling/great/worth it. Which isn't really the question - it's not asking if having children was a good move in retrospect."? Yeah. I read that thread. Did you?
Nothing except denial in your words. Sounds like you confirm what the parent said then... We are here at HN to argue, not to deny.

Tone: deliberately somewhat inflammatory, in the hopes of sparking a discussion; this is in addition to all the "standard" reasons people give.

Because most traits, including IQ and conscientiousness, are strongly heritable, and therefore assortative mating + smart-people-not-having-kids is one of the worst large-scale social dynamics happening today. Because people who deliberately choose not to have kids when they are otherwise capable (financially, mentally, physically) are free-riding on the hard work of everyone else.

simple linear classifier... I'm guess logistic regression? And yes, neither would be a black box.
I think it is. I remember when in 2009, all over Germany (and Europe) students went on strike because they had several issues with how universities changed in the past years.

Students occupied large parts of the campus and started to work out their demands. They decided to try and go by a grassroots democracy. Everything was discussed and reconciled with polls in the biggest lecture hall. The whole thing made big news, was on all TV channels, the nation waited for the students' demands, and they kept arguing, and discussing, and the nation kept waiting, and then they argued about the order of phrases, single words, as long as a single person had a complaint, and finally after half of the students involved gave up and no TV channel reported on the topic anymore, some final document was handed over that nobody remembers, just as nobody remembers the response to it.

This is a pretty stark counter example, but to me it was a huge revelation to actually be part of this experience and see it fall into pieces. It shows that you simply can't always be nice to everyone and make it right for every single individual. Sometimes you have to be that asshole that leads the way and steps onto other people's feet, because a suboptimal decision made in time is often better than discussing every detail to death. A rough tone is simply (and unfortunately) an effective way to assert your position. Call it alpha male 2.0 or whatever. This realization also helped me dealing with that kind of person, not taking it too personal.

As for Linus, I feel like these kind of rants are really an exception, he's either in normal/neutral mode, or goes all apeshit, which I think makes it rather easy to deal with him (never did so far though). In comparison, the passive arrogance that a certain developer of some init system sometimes shows seems much more annoying to deal with (also never had an interaction though).
"Universally symmetrical" ethical platforms fundamentally require shared and understood goals, which most often do not exist on an international scale. And even then, sometimes the shared goal of a strong boat requires you rock it with a little unfairness here and there. We want societies the won't sink in the face of a terrible storm, not because we only take them out on calm waters.
There's a really tough interview process. They make you plan a heists on a whiteboard. 5 rounds of technical interviews. Very merit based though. You don't even need a rap-sheet to get hired.
i'm not an experienced django dev but i asked the same question some time ago. The answer i got back then was essentially 'one form per object, if you want to create two interdependent objects, just chain the forms into a "wizard"'

The upgrade from Elm 0.17 to 0.18 was almost 100% automated. I thought it was going to be painful - but, thanks to the type system, wasn’t. Nothing like Angular.
I guess it's foolish to hope that, at least once, in a single article, the utterly unfounded "must have 50% representation" would actually be supported by some kind of argument.

Or to anticipate at least someone mentioning that equality of opportunity is already present, while equality of outcome is inherently tyrannical.

Or to expect that anyone will demand that coal mining and manual labor have 50% female representation as well.

My knee jerk to the headline, "because they are taught to." More than just them, we teach each other that there has to be a reason. Often that it has to be a singular one.

It is tough, because headlines and short articles like this are easy to twist into misguided views. Too easy. And yet, I definitely want these fields researched. I can't imagine anyone doesn't want it. Having the patience to get real answers is not easy. :(

Baseball is such a data-driven sport, and numbers don't tend to lie. There's always always some new form of juice, some changes to the mound, something going on with the bats and balls...

Do the materials in a baseball show up differently over time, say over a 20-30 year span? I'd really want to see this done on more sets of baseballs. In addition to testing players, if the goal was consistency it would be prudent to scan the balls, do a core sample of the pitcher's mound every game, make sure bat composition and temperatures are consistent... The new pitch clock isn't going to empower pitchers either though, look for batter power to rise again next year.

Thanks for this comment. I totally forgot about this when I posted mine. You're understanding of soluble/insoluble matches mine although I think soluble does contribute to drawing water into the stool and giving it shape. Edit - Soluble fiber dissolves in water and forms a gel - insoluble absorbs water and provides a fibrous matrix. Both are involved in stool firming

Seems most supplements are soluble in nature. So maybe if you need to speed digestion or solidify loose stools you should focus on getting some insoluble fiber naturally rather than relying on supplements? Definitely seems like an important distinction

Option 4) - adopt a risk-based approach to compliance, and look to assess whether any aspect of your service, and the way it makes use of data in its current form is an egregious breach of GDPR. If that is the case, you're likely in breach of existing data protection law.

In terms of risk factors, most side projects will generally use data to provide a service to customers. This type of processing is unlikely to attract regulatory attention.

It's also unlikely that the vast majority of entities will be 100% compliant come May 25, but as the Belgian data protection authority has pointed out, it is important that people demonstrate a good faith approach to compliance.

For new requirements around restriction of processing/provision of data in a programmatic manner, again, dependent on risk, it is likely not necessary to implement these features and side project owners should focus on building their product instead.

Relevant risks for a side-project owner are around a) volume of data held, b) types of uses of data, c) likelihood of users making a requests around erasure/restriction (look at any historic requests received here), and d) regulatory focus on specific areas of the legislation.

This law is not going to fizzle out and on a general level, in my view it is advisable for any entity to look to respect user data regardless of legal obligations relating to that.
