In their paper they even used "weaker" DenseNet-121 instead of DenseNet-169 for Mura/bones. DenseNet-BC I tried is another refinement of the same approach.
thank you :)

Although it's more short-story length than full novel, patio11's classic Salary Negotiation: Make More Money, Be More Valued [0] is a fantastic resource for negotiation, especially for software engineering positions.

They are right that Bitcoin has caused death in a direct way, and it is like trading harvested baby brains? No, I have not. Perhaps you would like to read my reddit reply to Bill Gates from when he first made that comment:

Another interesting theory was to create a resource based economy. One iteration of this idea was The Venus Project created by Jacque Fresco [0] whereby society would remove the need for a monetary system, as everything can be engineered in abundance.

Have any countries attempted such a big fundamental change?

Online RSS clients, perhaps? I admit I am having a hard time thinking of examples too.
What a great looking site. I've been really exciting about actix for a while now. We just started some internal experiments with it here and I'm looking forward to more.
I think this is more associated with the fact that all communities (real communities) are small. Try a more focused interest group. /r/pathology, for example, is only a few thousand folks, mainly people working at the graduate or post-doctoral level.
Not too hard for reddit, hard enough for the average user. This means that for the purposes of having a conversation with someone else, you're basically anonymous. It's the same level of anonymity that web forums had back in the day before all user-created content started ending up on Facebook and it's progeny.
Right but I think their picture will be disjointed and incomplete. Something like 99% of all users are lurkers who never post a single comment.
>Bayesian can be seen as a subset of deep learning or hell a superset.

eh-hem

DIE, HERETIC!

eh-hem

Ok, with that out of my system, no, Bayesian methods are definitely not a subset of deep learning, in any way. Hierarchical Bayes could be labeled "deep Bayesian methods" if we're marketing jerks, but Bayesian methods mostly do not involve neural networks with >3 hidden layers. It's just a different paradigm of statistics.
Subscription filters might also filter out un-employed content producers who have free time to produce the quality content in the first place.
I'm of the mind that UBI might work with the absolute minimum of amounts. Give enough for food, a bus pass, renting a room (not an entire apartment), and some for incidentals. It would basically be "stay out of trouble" money, from which people can physically live, which allows them to then go forth and pursue something societally beneficial, because you don't just want to stay at that level. In theory, this might make their income less available to predatory targeting.

However, with a looming jobs crisis, the assumption of being able to go out to earn more remains to be seen.
In case anyone's interested, the Dijkstra quote is from https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd03xx/EWD316.PDF
> It has (almost?)

No, it has all the features mentioned in GP. It's worth noting, though, that Nim is a higher-level language than Zig appears to be. Nim is garbage-collected, has an object system with multi-methods, has proper lambdas and higher-order functions, uses a kind of uniform access principle (`foo.func()` is the same as `func(foo)`, basically), has destructors and defer blocks, exceptions, iterators, generics, operator overloading, AST based (but procedural) macros and templates, a kind of type-classes (called concepts), built-in concurrency (thread pool) support, and more.

I'm not sure how well it would work on microcontroller, for example, although its garbage-collector is tunable in terms of memory and times constraints. But for anything higher-level than that, Nim is a really nice language, which reads very similar to Python but is natively compiled and much faster (among other features). A quick example to back up the similarity claim:

proc getMem() : tuple[total: int, free: int] =
let
(output, _) = execCmdEx("free")
fields = output
.split("\n")[1]
.split()
.filterIt(it != "")
return (fields[1].parseInt(), fields[^1].parseInt())

Really worth taking a look at, if you want conciseness and performance without compromising readability.
And for the majority of the large subs for a specific interest, they are astroturfed to hell and back. Much of the content you see on /r/all is likely corporate shilling with sock puppets controlling the promotion of the item and the comments within.

There should be Moore's/ Poe's law for the correlation of the size and influence of a site to the amount of corporate influence on said site. As the natural user base grows to a certain point, it becomes impossible to tell what is organic and what is advertisements or narrative pushing propaganda.

Same issue exists on Youtube and IG with product review shilling.

Sheds a whole new light on the situation when you realize the youtube vid you're watching for tool reviews is actually a disguised advertisement punctuated by auto playing obvious ads.
https://i.reddit.com is a good balance between app and the desktop website. A lot faster than m.reddit.com and supports the basic features of reading comments, commenting, and submitting. It also doesn't crash all the time and saves data.

I think that, like programming in general, there are different styles that click for different people. Different analogies, like the "push" vs "pull" described in this article come with different trade offs, and different people see them more easily than others.

In reality, I just want more options. I know that synchronous IO on UI threads is bad, but I also know that I can avoid bottlenecks by not pulling from slow IO sources. Choice means that a problem can be expressed in the most natural way to a programmer or a team, which ultimately helps convey the ideas better than trying to work in an unnatural convention.

I love Ruby primarily because you can usually accomplish tasks multiple ways. You can usually find the most natural way _to you_ and use that, over, say a prescribed "best" way.
Racism, bigotry and misogyny are politics. You perfectly demonstrate my point in that you hold the political aspects above all other aspects in determining the validity of an entire persons life and contribution to society because of the ideas they express. For example, Roseanne making one tweet and ruining her whole career. Reddit doesn't force that sort of political conformity on people.
Singularity was nice, but not the only one OS in this domain.

Like Joe Duffy complained about Midori, the problem is getting management to be willing to push it no matter what.

Eventually Microsoft took some of those ideas into Windows 8.x and 10, but they still are implemented in the context of a COM based world, thus only partially implemented.
Can't multiplex transactions, but if you're doing long running work inside transactions you have bigger problems.

The Rails will checkout a connection for you, but it won't necessarily start a transaction if you don't ask it to. Think there's some magic involved there, but generally transactions don't start unless necessary or they're initiated by code.
Just as reddit is losing its charm to me...
Audm (YC S17) is hiring an Android developer
Audm (YC S17) is looking for the person who's going to take us from 0 to 60 on Android.

Our Android app will start out as a ~clone of our iOS app, and it'll get thousands of paid subscribers as soon as it's released. Then we'll start cranking on a ton of brand-new functionality (most of the Audm product vision is still under wraps).

The work we do at Audm is awesome. Every day is an active partnership with The New Yorker, The Atlantic, WIRED, and a ton of other awesome top-tier publications who trust us to take the very best of their longform writing and transform it into something even better. Our customers are awesome, too; they have great taste and are eager to pay for great journalism when it's presented the right way.

Must-haves:

- Is familiar with the entire Android dev lifecycle. Can write+commit Audm's first lines of Android code and take the project all the way to release in the Play store. And then of course maintain the app and continue to develop it.

- Loves longform journalism as well as podcasts and/or audiobooks. This is the air we breathe as a company.

Nice-to-haves:

- Has experience with apps that monetize via paid subscription

- Has experience with audio apps

- Is based in NYC (this is only a nice-to-have; we will consider remote candidates)

Competitive compensation including equity, benefits, etc. etc. All the standard stuff for an early dev hire at a fast-growing startup.

Please email christian@audm.com. (Proper job posting via Greenhouse or a similar tool is coming soon!)

Sorry! Poor wording on my part.

I updated the wording to: "Much easier to manage .NET Core and ASP.NET Core versions in project files and with self-contained application publishing."

The thing that you are talking about still needs to be improved. Sadly, that didn't happen in this release.
So we could fit, 512GB DIMM, at up to 8 TB of Optane, and using them like in~memory DB with persistence? I wonder what performance improvement would I get on a Postgre DB compare to RAM + NVMe SSD.

Thanks for the links. But the Ars link seems to confirm that all these mitigations need to be done in software, and that the firmware updates merely give the OS the hooks necessary to implement their own mitigations (implying that application software didn't get or need any help from the CPU in applying mitigations). And if all this is being done in software anyway, then it would seem to suggest that should at least partially suffice for a scheme like the OP's (someone who knows more about what these hooks actually do should say more). I'm not sure whether that means it's as secure in practice as conventional OSes--naively we should expect that it's not until proven otherwise--but it also appears to be a far cry from the above claim that "software isolated processes are now basically impossible to do", which, even if true, seems true as well for the software we already have.
Reddit is now adding profile info and friends and such. Unfortunately.

Sure, you can run both archive-based and version control-based (git) private repositories without any restrictions.
Same. I actually use FF for most browsing and I haven't really noticed a huge problem with the occasional youtube video. But I watch a lot of twitch streams on the box hooked up to my TV at home and Chrome seems to be the only option for getting 60fps at the moment.
It depends on your app. We've seen massive improvements for webservers and long-running apps. Short-lived apps don't benefit. We'll be posting more on it soon. Give it a try!

I think that if the government work to provide a lower UBI of say ~$750/month, healthcare, and also provide housing similar to military barracks available to everyone free of charge it would circumvent the instance increase in rent and would also provide an incentive for people to do some work.
> The bill also requires companies to offer people the same communications services whether or not they agree to have their data collected

Again with this madness. Please convince me how this does not violate the right of people to come into contracts with each other? The internet is not a private space as the EU's lawmakers seem to want it to be, but a public space like the real world. If you want privacy, you buy a house, and similarly you get a subscription service online. I appreciate that everyone is sensitive with their privacy these months, but please try to be rational. FWIW, as an EU citizen i am sometimes offended by the stupidity of our lawmakers.

As far as I know nvme is exclusively block based. So you get to write in 512 or 4K blocks. I believe the DIMM versions are byte addressable or at least they will be at some point in the future.

Corporations are already one of the only realistic ways to attain affordable healthcare. It seems sensible that higher education joins the basket of corporate perks.

I have used NYC ferry service, and it is awesome. It is a resounding success with people that use it, but it costs the city money. (The fare is the same as subway $2.75 but the true cost is $5.60+ per trip).

https://www.ferry.nyc/routes-and-schedules/

The other problems is that it doesn't run often enough, and in good days it can get overcrowded, but in bad weather days it is underused.

Having a fleet of autonomous boats will allow to:

1. Run the service more often, (smaller but more frequent boats)

2. Have more routes/trips

3. Scalability. Have more boats ready for peak demand. (it is harder to scale when you have hire and train humans, but if it is all autonomous, that it is simply of an issue just buying more hardware and deploying them on demand).
Right, I see that in the docs, which is awesome!

My comment was more responding to the claim that this wouldn't be a useful tool without a large body of open-source packages, which I disagree with.
So, then still zero data from you to back up any of your theories up, at all, but still more skepticism and random crapping on literally the only data provided so far.

Small reddit communities are drama free and non toxic and also anonymous, information-dense and relatively ad-free. I think at 100K+ subreddits start breaking apart and toxic voices and groupthink take over.

The one thing I would add is the JavaScript standard library is deserving of some blame for the micro-library problem. Being bundled with the browser or server side in node doubling the size of the standard library to avoid situations like the left pad library being pulled from npm seems like a no brainer type of decision. ES2017 adds the padEnd and padStart functions is a step in the right direction. There is movement in the right direction but I would like to see the JS standard library at a minimum match the ruby standard library and eliminate a bunch of the micro dependencies that creep into libraries.

Agreed. I think it comes down to the presentation/interpretation of results. The response to "My classifier gets score of X" can be either "wow, that's a good score for a classifier, this method has merit" or "but X is not a good measure of [actual objective]".

So I think it's come down to conflict between

1. Which the author is trying to present
2. What an astute reader might interpret it as
3. What an astute reader might worry an uninformed reader might interpret it as

And my feeling is that, given all the talk about hype in pop-sci, we're actually on point 3 now, even when the author and reader are actually talking about something reasonable. Whereas personally I'm more interested in the research and interpretations from experts, which I find tend to be not so problematic.

Good question. Currently you will need to email a git repository URL and tag you want published (e.g., https://git.build2.org/hello/libhello.git#v1.0.0) and we will publish it for you (or you can provide a package archive if you prefer).

For the next version we plan to implement a CI/CD bot which will poll your git repository for tagged versions and automatically test and publish them to cppget.org (there will be some sort of a control file that you will be able to use to specify which tags should be published where, etc).
So will regular RAM become "level 4 cache" and Optane exist on the other side of that?

Basically you run everything you can in memory and then just mmap() in the files you want to use?

How so? TV and media have been doing it since forever - not as efficient but still. It's a valid model if you want open, pluralistic services.
So there's no debate to be had on affirmative action, and everyone who supports it is racist and wrong? Plenty of people I know consider it racist.

The reality is, how people and groups define terms like racism, bigotry, and misogyny is often very politicized.
I did for a while. Around version 58 it started performing better again. Then something in v60 caused a bunch of CPU spikes again, so I'm using Developer Edition, which is on v61 and doesn't have that issue.

I would say 99% of the time, Firefox is great for me. There are occasional sites that I open in Chrome - either because of video choppiness or JS going out of control on a page.

However, I would love it if it were less of a gamble when upgrading versions.

I have used this tactic for interviews for quite a while. Though working primarily with Java and the JVM, every good programmer already has a long list of complaints.

I think of the GDPR as similar to clean operations with regards to environmental impacts.

If, right now, there was made a law that fairly charged for all externalities on environmental damage of their products, then the companies that do things "right" with regards to environmental practice would be some of the most profitable.

The GDPR is the similar type of law, but for data hoarding of PII. If you're doing privacy and handling user data that preserves users' rights, you likely wont have much anything to change. Sure, you'll have to put together 5 documents how you do use data... but everyone does in the EC.

If you're a hoarder, spread PII everywhere it shouldnt be, or otherwise do bad things your users would find unconscionable, it's going to be a very rough time.

As an American, I try to buy sustainable products.. But the GDPR makes it easy to see which tech maintains my privacy of my data.
