It looks as though they completely nuked the old Github project -- including any issues or pull requests associated with it -- and replaced it with a new project with no history. That's kind of a kick in the balls for anyone who was trying to get involved in their development process. Or, hell, anyone who was trying to debug an issue they were having.

I was not really having a problem breathing at first. My throat was burning; I thought I had strep throat. I had pain in my neck, and there was swelling around my collar bone. The first doctor I went to said he did not know why there was swelling. He gave me antibiotics and told me that if the swelling was not better to come back in two weeks. I went back in two weeks and he said he did not know what was wrong. Since I do not have insurance, I went to a hospital emergency room, and they said I have COPD, I lost touch with reality. January 2018 I started on the COPD natural herbal formula we ordered from GREEN HOUSE HERBAL CLINIC, We spoke to few people who used the treatment here in the United States and they all gave a positive response, my symptoms totally declined over a 7 weeks use of the Green House COPD disease natural herbal formula. I am now almost 70 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed! (Visit their website www . Greenhouseherbalclinic . com) I am thankful to nature, herbs are truly gift from God. i breath much better and feel comfortable doing so, I will keep sharing more awareness!!!

Sounds just like [Emby nowadays] (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/issues/3075) .

The main issue is not how hard they worked and how they need to sustain themselves.

The point is that these people are scamsters who think the GPL and other FOSS licenses are cheap ways of getting users and debugging info.

If they were so sure of their efforts they should have raised startup funding and been proprietary to start with.

These guys ought to be sued and cast out.

Agree with you totally.
You could modify word2vec to embed word fragments as part of the training process. You could also use stemming before training, or if you have a decent amount of computational resources you could embed trie entries with word2vec representations of word fragments and probabilistic models of the likely next character/syllable/word, which would allow you to use something like a markov process

For word completion, I would create a trie and encode naive char-to-char and absolute (word prefix vs. all recorded) frequencies for each edge during its creation, noting that the "end word" value is also possible and deserves a frequency. Then when a user is entering a single word without prior context, you simulate a markov process from the last character to the end of the word. If the user has input a short but unlikely combination you can observe the frequencies of untraversed edges from the nodes of the current path and start a markov process from there if it is much more likely. That gets you to the end of your current word in terms of its string representation. From there you can use n-grams if desired, or go straight into sanitization preceding vectorizaton, to construct a likely query

If I were you I would decouple processes in your pipeline. I mentioned the best way I know of combining word vectors and word fragments (embedding word fragments of a corpus into word2vec, then indexing them with a trie) and I don't think it would be feasible for size reasons - although perhaps the topic of this thread could make it more computationally amenable. It sounds like what you want to do is 1 first infer a word/phrase, 2 stem/sanitize it, 3 map it to its word2vec representation, then 4 do some search query using the vector. 2 and 3 could be combined if desired (would decrease corpus vocab substantially and be good space-wise, improve embeddings of stems of rare words by reducing overfitting, but lose some semantic complexity), perhaps even aggressively, but not with 1 unless you further modify the training process / augment the corpus with fragments.

TL;DR: There's not a good way I know of to use a word2vec mapping trained on a vanilla corpus to directly account for short spelling errors since individual spelling error fragments will be rare or not present within the vanilla data. You seem to think Levenshtein will help but keep in mind this is an expensive pairwise string comparison algorithm. Unless you implement a good way to check which strings to compare the input fragment to, you will likely perform too many comparisons because you won't know where to start
Neural Networks are only a small part of self driving car algorithms. The planning and sensor fusion etc. is usually not done with deep learning (for this reason). Only visual detection, because we have nothing else working better in this realm. But lidar, radar, sonar, what have you all work without any deep learning. The decision making on a high level is also without deep learning.

The only questionable parts will be where the vision system fails, and those are similar actually to human problems. Because human vision also often fails (sunlight on windshield, lack of attention, darkness, etc.)

MacOS Unified Log: 2. content and extraction
This is not at all unique to Italy/Europe. Americans have the same attitude as I'm sure many others do. People simply cannot think abstractly enough or far enough ahead (depending on how you want to look at it) to make sense of their world and protect themselves. Or won't. I don't know which, but this failure is hardly unique and encompasses most of most people's lives.
the main thing with collision detection is narrowing what to search. consider a game with a million spheres: what can you do to narrow it down so you don't have to test each sphere against 999,999 others every frame. firing out a fiber bundle is akin to saying, "find the distance between each pair of spheres and compare that distance to the sum of the radiuses of the spheres." yes, that is a test for sphere to sphere collision, but it misses the problem.

Automated food production is very much simpler, because you're usually only producing one food item at large scale. That's the super easy stuff to automate.

Automated driving is more like a fully automated chef, that can create new dishes from what his clients tell him they like. Without the clients being able to properly express themselves. That's a lot more complicated than following a recipe.

Difficulty of automation goes roughly trains < planes << cars.

Automated trains are simple, but don't provide much value. Automating planes provided value because it's safer than just with human pilots. Automated cars are a different league of complexity.
It's very hard to believe anything in this space is going to comply other than complete deletion at time of request or some shorter (90 days? please. 3.) period. The hint of NSA complicity is a bit of a red herring: they don't need government snooping requests to motivate this retention.

More generally, the actor model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model)
>Going at speed limit NEVER creates a hazard. It is always the drivers going over or under it.

Please be in the right lane if you are going slower than the flow of traffic. Regardless of whether or not you feel the people speeding are ultimately at fault, if everyone is speeding, it is a more dangerous to have a car that is going a dissimilar speed than it is for you to be speeding.

Keeping right is a small mitigating factor.

> Waymo is deploying its fleets on public roads too, which suggests to me that they think that private course tests can only get you so far.

No, it just suggests that building and operating huge private courses that realistically emulate daily traffic situations in cities is much more expensive than just (ab)using the "real" public infrastructure paid for by tax dollars for your beta-testing needs, and that Waymo (just like Uber) takes full advantage of this chance to privatize gains and socialize losses.

As someone just dipping my toes into some Preact, I’m still a but confused about the styled components pattern. If you already have, say, a menu component in an es6 class, with its own methods and helpers and render func - how do you convert that to a styled component. All of the examples I’ve found just spin up new buttons pre-wrapped in Styled, etc

That’s my only real sticking point here.
Troll answer: but then where would people go if they want to show off their ability to talk in jargon like "applicatives", "arrow", "lenses"?

Serious answer: Not really. Monads are more abstract than just contexts. Monads are commonly used to represent context and contextual computation, but they can represent other things too.
I've seen your meme before and I wondered why this specific connection is popular. Because your statement goes beyond being a generalization it might be acceptable in a closely knit group where everyone know who specifically you are talking about, but know this there are alot of feminists, you might as well be generalizing about drivers. So unless you are aiming for a chuckle from your friends the statement above will get you nowhere.

Your statement is a very radicalized view of reality, in this specific context and worse without context.
Why? It (VB6) was the first language I've learnt and I have had a lot of fun coding it as a kid (so I can think in it and have no bias against it) yet I don't understand how can it be considered productive or any good at all compared to Python or even JavaScript. One can probably say that Python and JavaScript are more complex and harder to learn - I would disagree: everything you can code in VBA can be coded in Python or JavaScript in the same manner, with the same simplicity and ease, conscious usage of concepts that can be considered advanced and/or tricky for non-programmers to undetsatnd is optional. What part other than the fact it doesn't ever change or that it reminds them about their childhood actually makes people like VBA?
> I do strip all the possible identification

"Anonymizing" data is a myth; stripped or hashed columns can usually be recovered by correlating the remaining data with other data sets.

> until someone's effort to pin point to any personal data becomes economically unfeasible.

Which admits that the data probably is recoverable, just "economically infeasible". Do you have proof of that claim? Unfeasible for who? In general, the difficulty of re-correlating data goes down as the amount of data grows.

> I do data scrambling, where the data as in values is not important for the engine.

DJB once described[1] hashing as "magic crypto pixie dust" that "takes personally identifiable information and makes it incomprehensible to the marketing department".

> A demand to forget has to show that I have data on that person.

So you're trying to launder data to circumvent the letter of the law. This kind of scofflaw, antisocial attitude is how you attract reactionary, heavy handed regulations.

Okay so one thing I'm interested in is why is CA so evil, and is the role they played any different to what Obama used in his midterms campaign?

> The Obama 2012 campaign used data analytics and the experimental method to assemble a winning coalition vote by vote. In doing so, it overturned the long dominance of TV advertising in U.S. politics and created something new in the world: a national campaign run like a local ward election, where the interests of individual voters were known and addressed.

Obama's campaign was famously one that was 'won by data', but there was no outrage back then, in fact the opposite. What's different here?
Maybe i am misunderstanding something about this whole issue, but was there an exploit or a bug that allowed this to happen on Facebooks end?

I guess my confusion is that whenever someone grants third party access to your facebook, you can query that users list of friends (which i have seen used for things like games and high scores, etc). But you didn't get the full friends profile, instead you got a small subset of it. Did they find some way around that and managed to retrieve the full user profile?

If not then isn't Cambridge Analytica at fault here for misusing someones data? Facebook provides an API and users consented to allowing a third party to access their data. I guess you could remove the friends list, from the API.
Any reasonable human driver would try everything to not hit a pedestrian, regardless of right of way. The laws were written with common sense in mind, and if self-driving cars can’t emulate that then they’re not ready. Cars that only follow the letter of the law would be absurd.

When you block the wheels in loose snow or gravel, it piles up in front of the tire and provides a fair amount of friction. This is usually the fastest way to stop, and one of the reasons that gravel pits along corners in motor racing are so effective.

That said, the point of ABS is in the rare event that you have to brake full power, the system automatically help you do it at a near optimal (slightly skidding) without additional input, and you remain full steering ability.

If you don't have ABS you'd need to train that emergency stop ability on a daily basis to even come close.
I like the general idea and have felt the same way for a while. For the benefits they list a message bus isn’t necessary. Even dispatching to multiple subscribers can be straight-forward with a proxy object. Instead you can design your OOP system to behave as though it’s passing messages and get a majority of the benefit along with a straight-forward path to refactor towards a message bus if/when you’re ready.
Training these quantized word vectors has to be done in full precision (so no memory gains during training the word vectors).

But when you save them to disk every value is either -1/3 or +1/3 so one could encode the word vectors in binary. This can lead to reducing memory usage during application time if you kept the word vectors in this compressed format (though you'd need to write a decode function in tensorflow or pytorch to take a sequence of bits corresponding to a word and convert it into a vector of -1/3s and +1/3s)

The DMV might not give any allowance but enforcement is no where as harsh in California. The i-5 in Southern California is filled with people cruising at 80 (even the highway patrol!), 15 miles above the limit and no one gets a ticket.

The same could be said for the 85 and 101 in the Bay, where the cruising speed is 75-80 during low traffic and almost always in the carpool lanes.
The article is written in the context of a Xamarin mobile app, not overly complex or distributed at all. So I'm not sure if the added indirection cost is worth it.

That micro benchmark is comparing getElementById which is a map lookup (assuming the id is unique in the document) vs getElementsByClassName which is creating an iterator that would scan the document as you loop over it, except that the page is not looping over it or calling .length, so it's not really scanning anything at all.

Essentially it's benchmarking a handful of branches inside getElementById that do the map lookup for an Element [1] against the handful of branches inside getElementsByClassName that do the map lookup for a NodeList [2]. They both look pretty similar to me in branch and map lookup count, so I'm not sure where the difference is, but it's not something that would impact real content since on a real page getElementsByClassName's cost is related to typical behavior being O(N) instead of O(1) like getElementById. Browsers have a ton of caching around it though, so getElementsByClassName can look like O(1) in micro benchmarks.

You could could alter the benchmark to do getElementsByClassName("my-class")[0] to test the scanning but browsers cache that too, so you'd need to actually modify the document between each run of the benchmark somehow (ex. adding or removing an element) to invalidate the cache.

Typical content that uses getElementById will be faster than content that uses getElementsByClassName, but it's hard to show that in a benchmark. :)

So not only does a type have to "accidentally" implement an interface, but also a programmer has to explicitly write code that has a value of that type in scope, and pass it to a function in a wildly different domain.

> I'm talking about optimal conditions here, wet roads would change things obviously but each of these cars was able to stop within it's own car length (around 15 feet) from 30mph, simply by stamping on the brake pedal with maximum force, triggering the ABS until the car stops

How did you measure that? Because plugging these figures into a uniform acceleration calculator, 50km/h to 0 in 4.47m requires a deceleration of 2.2g but "Analysis of emergency braking of a vehicle"[0] experimentally measured very best case deceleration as barely scraping 1g (with ABS at 80km/h, significantly lower at lower speeds or without ABS).
