Ask HN: What is the best way to learn Math for AI/ML?
I want to learn all the necessary basic math for ML/DL, as quickly and efficiently as possible. Can you recommend some good books or courses?

I don't want to go too in depth, I just want a good understanding of fundamentals so I could understand algorithms/formulas, and follow courses.

If there's one book/course specifically designed to take me through all the topics necessary for ML - that would be perfect.
Some FPGAs have built in flash that they will automatically load a bitstream from upon boot. If they don't, they typically can load the bitstream from an external flash chip upon powering up, or even via a microcontroller that's interfacing with the flash chip.
Wouldn‘t the Second Circuit have already found a way, a procedural technicality or whatever, if they felt the sentence was „beyond the pale“?

They did confirm the judgement, right?
>"That sounds like a lot to me."

It sounds like a lot because you are adding up energy used by many, many people all around the world. Lots of things "sound like a lot" when you do that.

Why not do the same calculation for a few other things that people enjoy (gaming, porn, cat pics, posting to facebook/twitter, bars/drinking, holiday decorations, lawncare, etc)?

All those activities are totally unnecessary wastes of energy.
> I'm not blaming anyone for this tragic accident

Well, you're blaming the engineers.

If you say "I'm not saying it's the engineers' fault, but engineers should remember that they're responsible for what they build", it's like blaming the engineers.
Good catch, although I think the nature of Japanese use of characters makes this less likely.

Pebbles in one or both shoes, plus a thick insole, and some sort of tourniquet on a leg just loose to allow blood to flow will be sufficient to trick these for sometime so long as one can carefully conceal any other uniquely identifying factors.
Well you should, mr McPhage; you’re a virus after all.
services have predictable longtime cost and that's why some people (especially businesses) favor this, but for me and many other people it's a different model: I NOW have a certain amount of money I am willing to spend on a fridge or other thing. Sure, it can break or something could happen, but that's another discussion. I have it, I paid for it, I can do whatever I want. I don't have to keep the mental burden in my head of "amount $x per month for thing $y" - and yes, I have a stable income but I guess for people without one it's a lot more financial security to not have running costs. (please ignore power costs for the fridge, I do think those are a lot more easily budgetable, like "power is 50 EUR per month, period")
How do I force myself to find doing those problems to be fun? To me they just seem painful because they really expose how stupid I am even if I know he basics.

THE BENEFITS OF MAINTAINING Your OVERALL HEALTH
Probably burned into an external EEPROM or flash, the FPGA fabric itself still has to be configured by some external means. It's pretty fast but on-the-fly reprogramming of the FPGA logic is still an issue where you want to very quickly switch the logic on the FPGA.

Massage helps with loosening and relaxing the muscles, usually those muscles get tight and sore with trying to compensate for posture etc. But I've found it's just a temporary fix. Things like massage or chiropractors help a little, but if you don't fix the underlying issues the pain will keep coming back.

You need to combine with either strength training, movement and stretching, or adjust the way you are sitting to feel longer term relief.

That’s because the FB process explicitly optimizes for speed. I recently finished a loop where I solved 2 problems optimally in 2 interviews and 1 in the last one and I was rejected.

The speed required makes me skeptical many people can solve these problems in the required time without luck of having seen similar problems before.

You probably mean "affirm", which is lawyerese for confirm.

No, circuit courts limit themselves to what your appellate counsel brings, and strictly limits what you can bring up by limiting the amount of time at argument to 30 minutes or less. That translates to, at most, 2 issues, and I'm sure Mr. Ulbricht can point to over 200 at this point (2255's have a page limit, and you can move for extra pages, but you are pretty much stuck filing a 2255 only once).

Further, the original appellate process only considers matters of law (was XYZ a crime) and not matters of fact (witness alleging XYZ was also convicted for stealing Ross' bitcoins), so the juiciest stuff was barred until now.

Further, the panel of circuit judges that originally affirmed things can differ markedly with the judges who'll grant the certificate of appealability and/or consider the 2255 petition.
Italy is currently seen as the EU country most likely to collapse financially. There were severe doubts about what was going to happen when a new government was inaugurated a month or so ago. Spain is also not doing very well, but not in short-term danger. US and UK are doing much better (I don't know much about Japan).
The only demographic I can think of that would dedicate so much time denigrating a country with such force and vitriol are the ex-pats. SV types, though very left leaning, are far too busy.

A common pattern to look for is large blocks of hand-wavy, conjecture-fuelled text with little in the way of facts and substance.
> And yet, there are so many instances where their is no ambiguity about the lies.

I suspect everyone can agree there are instances where there is no ambiguity about what is a lie and what is truth. But it seems unlikely that there is any consensus on which instances these are, or what the truth is. If there is consensus, then almost by definition censorship is not needed, because all the though leaders can identify the lie easily.

The argument in favour of moderation is to build a specific type of community, not to establish truth. The hope is that people will vote with their feet and move to communities that favour the truth.
Curious if the phone scanning devices require the user to provide their pin or if they have the ability to bypass phone access security (I suspect not).
> How can something be overvalued, if it's only value is derived from the price people are willing to pay for it?

Usually when someone's saying something is overvalued, what they mean is that they think there is good reason to believe that what people are willing to pay for it now is significantly more than what they think people will be willing to pay for it at some undefined point in the future. Or, in a nutshell, that they think it's a fad.

I think it's generally a fairly safe bet to assume that, when there's a buying rush on something, the market price will end up being quite a bit higher than what it will be once things start to stabilize. That's a fairly intuitive implication of supply and demand, and I think the only real way around it is if there's some other force that's constantly working to push the price up. For example, the price of land tends to appreciate because the supply of land is approximately constant, but the number of people who want land is always growing.

Bitcoin maybe has that with its deflationary design. But a counterweight to that feature is that nobody really needs Bitcoin for anything. So, like land, the supply is pinned, but, unlike land, it's entirely possible for demand to plummet all the way to zero.

How manufacturers can reduce cyber risk and prepare for cyber attacks
@kjulian, please don't lower the level of intellectual debate on HN by asserting the arbitrary limits of human intelligence. You remind me of a lying Cretan. St. Aquinas had more rigor! Look at the proof of the existence of God by efficient causation! When it comes to Standard Model, we need to address the particulars of the model. Your accusing hands are the ones waving furiously in their accusation of handwavingness. This is the first ad hominem argument I've seen today, and it is egregious. How could you possibly judge a project on the basis of the fact that a bunch of code is out there purporting to solve the same problem at some poorly defined level of abstraction, yet not actually solving the problem at hand permanently and forever? Would you look at the code, or accuse the handwaving programmer of being nothing but an astrologer? No!!

If you want to turn off Location History, which is a feature, a product in itself, you can.

The point is that despite turning off location history, this doesn't stop Google from tracking you and doesn't respect their users privacy when they ask for it.
Interesting, is it active?
AMD engineers are the first thing that I blame. How did they not notice the bottleneck? Also, I am pretty sure that top engineers at companies like AMD and Nvidia have access to Windows source code so they can test performance and submit fixes/patches. AMD has lesser marketshare so it's right for Microsoft to focus their code on Intel CPUs unless AMD reports issues.

Considering that their terrible GPU drivers got me off AMD GPUs and into the waiting arms of Nvidia, color me not surprised.
The argument is that Bitcoin is still in a lower lows, lower highs move. That a sustainable bottom has not been put in yet, rather than that it's just bouncing around a bit. I.e. this move will breach below $5,774 and continue further down.
If this were reddit I would've upvoted you, but this kind of cleverness should, if it constitutes the whole post, should be left to reddit.

> Trainers can be quite expensive

I'm maybe a little embarrassed to admit this, but paying for a trainer will help me commit. If I'm paying for an hour of time on Thursday morning, I'm more likely to show up.
That is incorrect, or at least inaccurate, on both counts.

FPGAs are often used to test/design not a "circuit" but an ASIC (application-specific-integrated-circuit) that you will then go on to actually build. Or, if your application doesn't have volume to suppprt the ASIC engineering costs but can support the FPGA unit cost, you just leave it as an FPGA. There are millions of devices (industrial machines, research, testing, etc) where this makes sense.

And not all FPGAs loose state when powered down. For those that do, there's typically an easy way to hook up a little Flash chip and bootloader to reload the state automatically on reset. For those that don't have that option (EG, currently working with an ABB robot, Mecco laser, and Rockwell PLC which all contain FPGAs, only the Mecco can boot itself), you store state in battery-backed SRAM and just leave the RAM on at all times.
A basic strength training routine did wonders for me. Squat, deadlift, bench press, lat pulldown. Just a couple sets of each, at moderate weights, about twice a week.

Doing this routine for about a month fixed problems that had persisted through years of massage therapy, posture exercises, ergonomic chairs, etc.
Because in this case it relates to national security and if the provider goes down the US is potentially at more risk than it would have been if it had multi-vendor fail overs. I can understand it not being justified for some government programs or companies due to expense or impracticality, but the DoD has a massive budget and a huge pool of resources. Not having multi-vendor fail overs just seems irresponsible given the stakes.
From my limited experience talking to people working in this space, the violence / human trafficking portion is not really a problem in the adult entertainment space. At least, many models definitely work voluntarily. I think trafficking is more of a potential issue at the shady ends of prostitution.

The downside of the adult entertainment industry is that you did hear of tales of questionable employers... it's less "violence" and more environments and/or tactics that sometimes seemed shady or unethical. There was also tales of drugs, sure. Also the pay is often relatively lousy. IMHO your best bet to avoid shady places is to support models / producers / etc. at an individual level, which is more possible these days thanks to the Internet.

(To be honest the industry it reminded me of the most is the music industry. Which has similar bits of shady employers / work environments here and there, similar drug issues, similar lousy pay, and a similar scenario where the best way to avoid the shady parts is directly supporting the non-shady artists and venues as much as possible.)
I watched it with subtitles and I'm mystified why it would be offensive enough to censor. Anyone with the opposite POV, that mass immigration from the Third World is desirable for the First World, could make their own video (and do, no doubt).
Could be. But also talking about all these other hypothetical adventurous people who are now broke and starving feed into our fears. I wonder if it just feels right to assume most people regret such decision because it matches what we worry about.

Do you have any data to back up that sentiment?
You agree with his splitting of the body into distinct mental and physical spheres? It seems his contention, based on the wiki, would be reliant on the mind-body duality. This conjecture of his came before numerous neurological discoveries, I highly doubt it'd pass muster as a scientific argument today.

Further, as a researcher of mental health, I found the stigma associated with mental health treatment leads to a loss of seeking treatment, which may contribute to suicide or highly reduced quality of life in those whom treatment may benefit. Such books as this one do far more damage than good by perpetuating this harmful stigma.
Sexual power dynamics have to do with power more than anything else, and this is an example of that. More men are being exposed via #MeToo because more men are in positions of power. Some percentage of all people are creeps who will misuse power, so it should not be surprising when women in power are caught up like this.

Given the speed of development in machine learning, the numbers are probably outdated.
It has always seemed likely to me that Google tracks more information than one might immediately suspect, so I try not to do anything which might make it convenient for them. With reference to location, I leave GPS turned off essentially all the time, and I never enter any Google account credentials into an Android phone. I don't know how much it helps, but it can't hurt.

> I've heard many of my coworkers joke that if they went through the interview process again they'd probably fail.

I’ve heard this joke at a lot of tech companies. Also, “the hardest thing I’ve ever done at my job was pass the interview.” Just shows how divorced from day-to-day work skills interviewing has become.

I think most tech companies severely overestimate the cost of false positives, particularly in the USA where it’s trivially easy to fire someone who turns out to be a dud.

Also think it represents an opportunity: if you could reliably figure out who made it to the interview stage at these top companies but did not get an offer, you could forego your recruiting expense, simply hire all those people and likely end up with a well above average team, minus the few false positives.
Russia will get the most out of this situation. Like many Trump international policies, Russia is the beneficiary.

This isn’t a debate. Historians and anthropologists actually have some idea of how the past works. I guess if you want some weird 19th century idea of the past you might want to talk to an economist.
Some random highlights:

> “Our communications — which Reitman now claims constituted sexual harassment — were between two adults, a gay man and a queer woman, who share an Israeli heritage, as well as a penchant for florid and campy communications arising from our common academic backgrounds and sensibilities,”

This is the ... it's not sexual harassment if you're gay and Israeli defense?!

Anyway, that comment makes it sound like she thinks it's all just office-place banter, but:

> In July, she wrote a short email to him: “time for your midday kiss. my image during meditation: we’re on the sofa, your head on my lap, stroking you [sic] forehead, playing softly with yr hair, soothing you, headache gone. Yes?”

!

Also:

> In a submission to the Title IX office, Professor Ronell said she had no idea Mr. Reitman was so uncomfortable until she read the investigators’ report.

and

> Maybe, Professor Ronell suggested, he was frustrated because he just wasn’t smart enough ... “His main dilemma was the incoherency in his writing, and lack of a recognizable argument”

Ouch. Also, Reitman is now a "visiting fellow at Harvard", so can't be all that thick.

Finally:

> Diane Davis ... were particularly disturbed that ... Mr. Reitman was using Title IX, a feminist tool, to take down a feminist.

All other points aside, she needs to take a fucking hike.
The _title_ of the article says "Google tracks users who turn off location history", and the article further develops the claim. Yes, Google offers the option to "turn off Location History". No, turning off Location History doesn't stop Google from tracking your location by other means. Google engages in physical world surveillance against the express instructions of its users, misleading them in the process.

Not cool.

I have been once a few years ago. Some of it is certainly enjoyable, like meeting people you know from the Internet or wouldn't have meet otherwise. And overall the organizers are doing a good job. But it feels like a lot people go year after year no matter what, in a bad way. Thousands of similar people talking about the same things year after year. Add to that the cost and logistics of it all, and don't feel much of a need of going again.

So I might be worth it for people who haven't experienced that sort of thing. But otherwise I would recommend watching online with some friends and travelling someplace else for new experiences.
