Regardless of whether your correct or not, this is still a disrespectful comment.

Nevertheless, he's referring to Ada Lovelace's comments from 1843 and saying they weren't understood for ~100 years i.e. 1940s. That pre-dates most of what you're talking about.

In the twitter thread the OP clearly has read up on the history of punched cards and the history of IBM machines.

First and the biggest difference is (and that's why we posted on hackernews first) it's developer centric. It's not a blackbox low code platform. It's open source low code platform with best practices in the market for frontend and backend. And it's still evolving (the market is still evolving). Second, none of our competitors have created big real world projects on their platform. Electricity Market Platform in Turkey is done with iCodeBetter. All of the electricity producers and suppliers in Turkey are doing their transaction with that platform. It must be fast, secure so that electricity frequency stays stable. None of our competitors have such big success story. Third one (which we are really proud of) is Live Collaboration in Online Development. It's a cool feature that you can check out on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqa7y1J5RY4 . Here's github link https://github.com/icodebetter/icodebetter

The fact that you have to surrender full control of your own site and content to be featured by Google is criminal.

They don't own the web.

They could improve their indexing to handle more of the web, but instead they're trying to shift the cost of indexing to people who publish on the web. The small guy. Not the near trillion dollar company.
Why not? It is all worth it, if you have to get PhD just to brag about it and never put it into heart on what you learn, then it's not worth it.

But if you use it for you to share to others, build new ideas to contribute and put it in passion, then it is really worth it.

Many people are struggling and finding a way to get PhD to pursue your dream, but they have lack of funds. But if you can, then why not? Every thing that you learn specially in education is a valuable thing for you as for you to know, education is the only thing that not any man can stole from you.

India doesn't really have strong privacy rights though, so this comparison doesn't hold up well. However, this is a big day for India, congratulations to all Indians and especially the LGBQT community!
That's a hard problem to solve. So every content-id system out there hacks around that - by not solving it, and merely pretending that whoever claims the rights first actually has them. Convenient for the platform and whoever has deeper pockets for lawsuits.
Gan Lab: An Interactive Tool for Generative Adversarial Networks
ML and 'AI' are very multifaceted fields that require a strong foundation in mathematics.

As a mathematician with a strong foundation in all those things you mention (and more) I don't think it's really necessary. I've never found my knowledge of algebra tensors in any way useful or relevant when working with tensorflow for example. On rare occasions I might get some insight like that working with the Fourier transform of the data source might be easier than working directly with the data source, but even then all that really requires is knowing what a Fourier transform is/does and not so much about theory and analysis behind it.

A large part of ML today is very much an applied practical field. Collecting and cleaning data, selecting and normalizing features, understanding the pros and cons of the available algorithms for the problem at hand, knowing how to tune parameters, understanding the practical computational limitations of working with data that doesn't fit in RAM and so on. These are the skills most ML practitioners need.

If someone is interested and wants to contribute new knowledge to the field then they'll probably need to learn the math, but for solving most types of ML related problems that most companies have I've never needed any math taught after my first year at university. If you really understand everything taught in your first couple of linear algebra courses and in your intro statistics course you'll do fine.

> As a side note, KL divergence is actually symmetric to the second order:

This is backwards. Its a tautology.

Any function no matter how egregiously asymmetric is locally symmetric if it is twice differentiable at that point. This is so by construction, you are approximating it locally by the best possible quadratic [hence locally symmetric] curve [surface].

Hence, the claim about symmetry is not false, but it is vacuous. Much like the claim that the equation of French curve is such that no matter how you turn it at its highest point it makes a tangent with the horizontal.

That said Fisher information metric does have many uses.

DuckDuckGo has improved a lot for me the past year. I used to retry my query on Google when the results were not enough but I don't need to as often now.
I have been a hands-on marketer who has handled multi-million dollar campaigns every month. Apart from the post being slightly self-promotional (a pitch to hire the author as a consultant), I strongly feel this is not the way to hire your first marketing person.

This is pretty much like saying your first tech hire should be a VP of Engineering who can roll up their sleeves and do front-end and back-end and data-infra and create neural networks. Sure, maybe they can do it. But how good a job do you think he will do overall?

The first marketing hire, especially when you don't really know how to hire a marketing person, is going to be a gamble - no matter what the experience of the person is or what level of success the person has achieved in the previous company. I have hired very successful hands-on marketers who have failed terribly because the dynamics of the company changes. So does the target audience, the message, etc.

Often times, most marketers will take credit for the success their team achieved. For e.g. if you ask what was the metrics you handled, they'd most likely share the team metrics that was a collective responsibility and give you numbers based on that. You need deep experience to see through these claims.

Also, the first hire you make almost always needs to be tactical unless you have a large budget. But even tactical markets cannot do anything unless you have enough marketing budgets. Also, the medium of promotion is important. FB marketing is very different from LinkedIn marketing. Both of them differ from AdWords as well. These are almost entirely different from content networks like Outbrain and Taboola. Oh did I talk to you about DSPs?

Unless you know which medium you will be using to promote, you cannot hire a specialist. And there's no one who is going to be equally skilled in all channels. I have seen marketers waste tens of thousands of dollars because they wanted to try a new channel which they had no idea to optimize.

In short, don't think following this guide is going to help you make the right hire. Unless you are a marketer yourself, most likely you will make the wrong hire.

If I were to hire a marketer for a startup and I cannot spend time hand-holding the person, I'll just hire someone who has some experience running organic as well as paid campaigns and is willing to experiment and learn. Marketing is mostly a function of trial and error. So hire someone who is willing to do this.

India Decriminalises Homosexuality
I've seen things like this first-hand, where it all goes horribly wrong with the best of intentions.

It starts when you hit a Neccessity, look over at The Pot that you're supposed to be safeguarding, and think .. I could pay it back before they even notice it's gone. I mean, if The Pot says it has 400k in it, and I just borrow 5k for this urgent Neccessity .. in theory I don't even need to pay it back until they get to that last 5k. It doesn't need to be there now, it needs to be there when they reach for it.

It's like the perfect line of credit. No interest, no approvals, no terms. All you have to do is be able to justify it to yourself.

So the car gets fixed, you pay back The Pot, everyone's happy. Or another Neccessity pops up before the last one's paid off, and the hole gets a little deeper. And each time, the boundaries get erroded just a little bit more, and the bar for how urgent, or how neccessary, drops a little lower.

If they honestly didn't believe a lump sum would be beneficial, the money should have gone in a trust where access was controlled. This often looks like overhead, but consider it a neccessary evil.

There's a very good chance this couple weren't actually being malicious, just irresponsible. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, etc.

I would say it's critically important. You may be a good self learner, but even then you may not know _what_ to study. It's the whole unknown unknowns situation.

Another thing I would point out is that your peers offer more than just textbook-style knowledge. They can offer concise, intuitive explanations tailored for someone at your level. They can demonstrate the things they're teaching. They can provide immediate responses to any questions you may have.

2 things that bother me in this article: misconceptions about the nature of finance, and the role of real-estate brokers

The first one is illustrated in the 'hyperloop affordability' paragraph.

What bothers me here it the confusion about the nature of fiat currency. In fiat currency based financial system, money is not realy a resource in the true sense. You don't need 'work' (in the energy sense) to create it. One push off a button can create limitless amounts of it. Money is 'merely' a means of prioritization.

This is a subtle but essential difference. You can 'afford' something if you have the knowledge and the free (prioritized) energy (work) to invest in (choose to do) it. In classic balanced systems, where money and 'potential work energy' are in balance, the difference is small. In our real world financial system, where this is nowhere near close, both are very different.

The second thing that bothers me is the lack of highlighting the active role of real estate brokers and speculators on the dynamics of rising and falling 'neighborhoods'.

These businesses live of fractional transaction fees. Some real-estate is highly profitable as it generates a lot of transactions. A good-looking but 'bad' house where people often find out it is not so nice to live there and move on asap is a start in the realtor market. It generates potential transaction fees on the sale every few years.

By contrast, a truly good home is sold on the market maybe once every 2 or 3 generations if ever. The only way to 'unlock' these houses is to take away their 'goodness'. Small things can be leveraged into high market dynamics.

Typical things are lobbying local authorities to divert go-through traffic. Once peaceful and nice neighborhoods now become polluted and noisy, often resulting in a mass exodus by those that can afford it. Previous traffic hellholes that could be bought up for pennies suddenly become nice, relaxed and very desirable. A decade or 2-3 later you reverse the process and hit the jackpot again.

Another trick is to buy a house on a nice street, and rent it out to a toxic person/family and let the butterfly effect do it's work.

Not nice, but unfortunately very effective

That's literally fake news. I owned a BMW 7 series and beside regular maintenance, some A/C minor issues, and some buttons breaking I didn't have any problems worth mentioning. This is the new definition of "fake news" you also seem fond of.

Having to pay $3K every 2 years means that you either got a lemon or you're doing something wrong. But this happening on 2 different models strengthens the second option. Going for "3rd parties" also suggests you may have gotten low quality parts and repairs. There are models that have a couple of known issues but having all the issues on different models is peculiar.

And even you don't have the full picture when it comes to your own cars. No data on how much it costs and how long it takes to fix say a Model 3 in case something happens. Either a failure or an accident. Expensive or not BMW parts and garages are available at every corner. How about Tesla parts? Tesla garages? Do you honestly think this doesn't have any impact on the cost and length of the repair? Tesla forums are full of (admittedly anecdotal) evidence that getting quick and affordable service is the exception not the norm.

This isn't an intrinsic problem for EVs or anything like that. It's just a problem for manufacturers that didn't develop any serious support network for post sale services of any kind.

> Unhealthy people pay more (kinda fair don't you think?)

Depends. You can be unhealthy through no fault of your own (genetics, environment). From social utility POV, insurance is about pooling risk. Taking your scenario to the limit, if insurance company is able to compute an accurate risk factor for everyone and adjust premiums accordingly, then the risk pool evaporates. But then again, maybe health insurance shouldn't really be a private industry.
Are you assuming that the facial recognition software has to identify between 65 million adults? Or something like “27 faces entered this road; there are seven possible exits from this road; using data from the cameras on those seven exits, which exit did each of these 27 faces take?”?

Learning from others is invaluable.

Listen to the perspectives of those around you, but don't regurgitate what they say or follow what they say blindly. Ask them questions, challenge conventional wisdoms and ask "Why".

I'm curious, how much bandwidth does a popular video take, assuming its encoded?

I picked a random Youtube video that was 5 minutes long, downloaded it in 1080p, 53MB in size. The video got 100,000 views, which takes 5TB to transfer. I'm not sure about other cloud platforms, but on DigitalOcean (I haven't found any reputable hosting thats cheaper) the transfer cost is $0.01/GB, so it would cost $53 dollars, which doesn't include CDN. If you made ate least $0.0005 per video watched, you would make up your bandwidth costs. You can probably 20x this price for CDN/other cloud providers, so if you were making at least a penny per view, you would break even.

Some simplifications made:

1) Didn't include peak bandwidth/if the pipe is big enough at peak hours.

2) Assumed all viewers watched the video from beginning to end, instead of stopping 20% of the way through.
I was that person, and what I meant was that "modern webdev standards" would include modules and features requiring transpilation, which would introduce many dependencies, all of which count into code size (you have to keep track of them mentally).
