Incidentally, due to the way a lot of stereo tracks are mixed, it's often possible to mostly remove the vocal track from a song. I'm more curious if this algorithm could perform the reverse task - playing the vocals only. My intuition is that the results would be poor because of the wide human vocal range and the fact that words need to be discernible, not just notes. But I would love to be proven wrong here.

and that's very often if you are a Java/Android dev. Even features like auto complete (let alone with prediction) is very hard to get right elsewhere, let's say, somewhere like Vim. Not just the language, there's Android SDK itself and other libraries. But, if you count "not needing auto complete etc" as part of "know the language well enough" or that they trivial enough then, well, I rest my case.

>It might seem to you (and to me!) that modern 3d simulations (as in high-end CGI and video games) is a very faithful simulation of the real world, but that's primarily because we look at modern 3d through human eyes and perceive it with our (presumably) human brains. We don't know how that works exactly, so we can't reproduce the process in computers, yet, therefore machine vision systems essentially "see" and "perceive" something completely different than what we do. In the end, what looks like a very close approximation to you, is pretty much useless for them- or in any case, they are not able to learn to generalise from that to real objects.

This really is not what I expected, being a layman.

Not really. The real problem with a search engine is surfacing to much "content farm" at the top.

Once you are able to weed out all these content farms it is relatively easy to bring the right answer within the first 10/20 links, that is, on the first results page.

It is effectively hard if you want to do all that with instant results about current events, but for 99% of my searches, a 1 month old answer is perfectly fine. For the weather, I go anyway on a dedicated weather website.

In the SICP lectures, they explain why names like 'Computer Science' come into being.

They explain it by explaining the origins of the word 'Geometry', which translates to 'Earth Measurement'. What they deduce is when a field is young, its hard to make a distinction between the science behind the field and instruments/tools you spend time with to make the science happen. That is because you spend so much time with the tools that the big part of the work is tool expertise itself.

Until we arrive at the perfect computers and perfect languages, we are going to be stuck with this sort of a phenomenon for a very long time.

Ask HN: Which offer to take or stay?
I recently interviewed with three startups as I have almost hit 3-yrs mark. I am debating whether to stay for another year or move for a potential opportunity. I have a family with 2-kids (one newborn) and a wife who stays at home. I own a house in the Bay Area with a mortgage payment at around $1.6k/mo.

Current company:

* Late-stage, well-established

* B2C

* Sr Eng role, the target for promotion by EOY

* ~180k base

* total ~$700k equity in 5-yrs fully vested (currently in my 3rd year)

* Has free lunch

* Low premium for family health insurance ~60/paycheck

Startup A:

* Series A - 35M evaluation, but had not raised any new round in last 2-yrs

* B2B

* Some competitions from decade-old companies

* ~60 total employees, currently 30 eng

* Lead Eng role, target to grow into the management role in 1-yr

* ~181k base

* ~30k stock options, another additional 30k after staying 1-yr as loyalty

* Tiny 5k signing bonus

* No free lunch

* High premium for family health insurance ~300/paycheck

Startup B:

* Series C - Over 1B evaluation

* B2C

* Burn-to-grow model

* IC Eng role

* Not sure about total employee size, currently less than 40-Eng

* ~140k base

* ~1M stock options

* No signing bonus

* Has free lunch

* High premium for family health insurance ~300/paycheck

Startup C:

* Seed only - Last round raised ~ $15M

* B2C - but the C is a customer who is willing to spend on avg ~$300k+ per project

* Burn-rate at $15k/mo

* Forecast revenue at $85k/mo from the past 12-months of sales

* Lead Eng role, but the company has only 1.5-eng (one of them is part-time) Could potential grow into a more prominent role.

* ~175k base

* ~0.5% of equity (~40k stock options)

* No signing bonus

* No free lunch

* No health insurance provided but could ask CEO to start having one as it expands.

Thank you so much!

I don't think that's at all impossible for Dell or the other OEMs to do (and I think some of that might already be happening a bit) but overall I don't think they particularly mind using Windows for their computers. There's a whole class of customer support issues that another company has to deal with for them, they avoid the "why can't I install this program that my daughter sent me?" type problems and overall they just give their "learned about computers in the 90's"-business segment exactly what they expect.

Ya you can imagine any scenario you want. I can imagine a scenario where a homeless person's life is better than if he had a home. It's not hard to imagine. But if you had a choice, which would you choose?

I don't think the argument is conclusively "Done" after naming one important relationship he formed in NYC.

I can name one important relationship he would have formed if he stayed in SF. A relationship with the founders of Instagram. That relationship is valuable too.

What makes you doubt that this choice is less important than other choices he will make in the future?

You don't need to consider the infinite possibility of events that could have unfolded. You really only have to consider the origin event--if you had the chance to choose again, would you make the same choice.

> so there is definitely reason to suspect a link

> I didn't "link" anything.

Of course there's always a reason to "suspect" a link. But what if this is later dismissed by the (potentially biased) doctors? If they linked the death to something else then the link to the study is strenuous at best. Do you have another reason to "suspect" other than "the doctors must be lying"? Or "it can't be a coincidence"? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying your suspicions are based on sketchy details from an article. Pizzagate guy also saw a link after a cursory interwebs investigation. He was a smart one...

> There is a quote later on coming directly from the doctor, so looks like this study is probably BS

Mind giving that quote? And is it the same "I'm suspecting a link but I'm not linking" reasoning applied when you drew the "BS" conclusion? Give a man internet and he'll become an oracle.
I really want to believe this. Of course the numbers given depend on very frequent use of your machine, but still. One would imagine that building a datacenter at scale and only renting when you actually are training a model to be much cheaper, but the reality appears to be not so.

So where does the money go?

Three places:

- AWS/Google/Whoever-you're-renting-from obviously get a cut

- Inefficiencies in the process (there's lots of engineers and DB administrators and technicians and and and people who have to get paid in the middle.)

- Thirdly, and this is what most surprised me, NVIDIA takes a big cut. Apparently the 1080Ti and similar cards are consumer only, whilst datacenters & cloud providers have to buy their Tesla line of cards, with corresponding B-to-B support and price tag (3k-8k per card). [1]

So, given these three money-gobbling middlemen, it does seem to kinda make sense to shell out 3.000$ for your own machine, if you are serious about ML.

Some small additional upsides are that you get a blazing fast personal PC and can probably run Crysis 3 on it.

Biggest Bug Ever
Setting up a payment page and writing one line to the license, even if I outsource that one time effort, will be indefinitely cheaper than having my revenue at the mercy of some random algorithm which doesn't even take into account how important my software might be to a company and giving a huge cut to a third party which really doesn't do anything other than profiting of my hard work. I struggle to see the appeal for OSS maintainers.
Maybe it's objectively the right model for right now, and the wrong model for tomorrow, which would make you both right. It's hard to get programmers and packagers to add new OS specific features, at least until most OS's support from variant of that feature, and then they either bite the bullet or they use from library to abstract it.

Pledge is simple, and that helps people adopt it and start using it. When most operating systems are providing something equivalent and most programs are making some use of it, it then becomes a selling point to do it better, because the status quo has moved. At that point, pledge might not compare well, unless it has evolved.

You can try to sell open source software. The problem is you can easily be undercut, because anyone else can sell it too, or even give it away. As the original developer, you're actually somewhat at a disadvantage, as you have to pay for the expenses of development, while your competitors do not.

It's pretty rare for anyone to make money directly from selling their open source software. Most open source business models involve selling something else, like support or hardware.

They do pay for drivers and other engineering work. I don’t know how it is now but Canonical was in that business.

As for why OEMs don’t do it more, or why they don’t do it instead of paying for Windows licences: custom dev, testing and certification for each model variant is a significant cost. Even if the OEM saves that money of Windows licences, the market mostly demands Windows.

I think they're similar, yeah, though they seem more general/orthogonal... e.g. they allow a process to be associated with multiple jobs (or so I think -- I've never needed to associate 1 process with multiple jobs), and this is independent of whether the process is detached and starts a new hierarchy or not.
