I'll make it clearer for you;

"In spite of" NOT THE SAME AS "Because of"

My comment is clearly saying "IN SPITE OF". I think most people who are reading with intellectual honestly would recognize that.

The people who would interpret it as "BECAUSE OF" before this clarification might have a certain oppositional viewpoint.

And the only people who would interpret it as "BECAUSE OF" after this clarification don't actually care about having a debate, but would rather call me a liar because it feels better then engaging.

I literally cannot dumb it down any more than this.

ML is not a glue gun. CRUD apps need glue guns. You need to find a place that needs a sorting (classifying) machine.

I think there might be a clearer explanation.

If a predicate only looks a finite number, n, of bits of a bitsequence then you can brute-force search the space containing the (2^n) sequences shorter than n. And a predicate can't possibly look at infinitely many bits of a bitsequence as the function which resolves that predicate would never terminate.
> The basic idea being that as currently set up, economics means that it is a zero sum game. In terms of money, either I have the 100 dollars or you have 100 dollars, we cannot both have the same 100 dollars.

It's a common misconception.

A voluntary exchange of, say, a loaf of bread for $5, occurs when the seller values the $5 more than the loaf, and the buyer values the loaf more than the $5. After which they've both increased their total value.
Bittorrent transport layer, peer-to-peer is not encrypted, neither was IPFS last time I checked. Is it now? Has that changed?

There is nothing stopping Bittorrent clients from agreeing on "this dht will be global", and similary, what stops IPFS clients/peers from forming a different DHT? Nothing as far as I know, not like scuttlebutt which has a transport-layer network-wide key.

What about trackers, bittorrent can but does not work well without trackers, so its not really according to me, decentralized, since some peer is more equal than another peer.

IPFS is meh, datproject is where its at.

HAM radio locator grid does pretty much the same thing, with I would say roughly the same precision.

example:
http://k7fry.com/grid/?qth=JN17EB67UN

I only knew of the 6-character location code, which is typically used when identifying yourself, but it seems there's the expanded version of up to 10 characters.

What I don't understand is the usage scenario. Plus codes are not human-friendly like street addresses, so I'm assuming they're meant for machine processing. But there you have all these other systems like HAM location codes or MGRS, that I don't see added value.
I was maybe a bit too snarky, apologize if so. But the crux of it is that his model never achieved > 50% accuracy. It was never necessary because he already got the job. But the thing is, that is the hard part.

Closing those gaps in not just accuracy, but also generalization is the data science portion of the task (and requires much more knowledge than what is demonstrated by this blog post - although they could of left out a lot of detail). They make it seem like if he just had a little bit more time this would of been straightforward. But I am not sure about that.

I am all for giving junior practitioners a chance. But this is like hiring an english major for aerospace engineering because they built a model airplane in my opinion. But maybe I vastly underestimate the amount of extremely low hanging fruit out there for ML projects.
And, in other examples, are doing exactly what their campaign backers expect them to do.
Something I want to complain about here is the complete lack of due diligence that product-based, enterprise-focused companies fail at as they move to SaaS. If your primary customers are Federal/Finance/Health Care, you can't pull the plug on a product that is on prem and put it in the cloud until you get the compliance ducks in a row. I had hoped that GDPR would have fixed that but I am still seeing several companies making the same mistakes even today where this playbook should have been figured out.
Yes! Though this answer has some subtlety. tf.while() will run several iterations in parallel but this is not the same as _batching_ those same iterations. For that, you'll need to use the experimental parallel_for feature [0]. Using this should get you into roughly the same speed as JAX.

Tricky!

Moral Reality and Moral Progress [pdf]
For a more modern form of this, take a look at Boost.Signals2.

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_68_0/doc/html/signals2.html

It provides a slightly nicer interface in that signals can be defined in a single template argument, vs. splitting args / return type as separate template arguments. For example:

boost::signals2::signal<void (float, float)> sig;

would allow the following function as a slots:

void do_something(float x, float y) { ... }

There's also Qt's signal/slots implementation:
http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/signalsandslots.html

Qt's approach requires a separate compilation pass woith a Qt-specific tool named "moc" which declares a bunch of info in the signal class that's necessary for the slot implementation.

IMO, the Boost implementation is nicer. It's vanilla C++ (no moc required), is thread safe, and supports some advanced features like "combiners".
I'm pretty sure none of those particular "news" would have been of any relevance to me, for example. I'm also pretty sure that when people talk about "news" they mean TV news bulletins or large press outlets — which wouldn't cover those things either.

However, a newsletter or a status update on social media seem like they would cover that type of information.

But they're not "news" in the common usage made of that word by any stretch of the imagination.
In so many ways, I disagree. There's an entire classes of algorithms that we've almost been conditioned as developers to avoid that are amenable to ML techniques. Whether it's ranking/filtering sets of data, where the best we've previously done is taking a SWAG at the characteristics of the data should be valued most highly or parsing unstructured data, learning to solve these classes of problems with ML expands our repertoire of what we can do as developers.

That doesn't mean that there aren't people applying ML techniques to problems that can easily be solved in other ways, but that happens with every hyped technology. And for developers learning these techniques, there's going to be a certain amount of applying them more widely than is justified until they learn them well enough to improve their judgment. That's okay and all part of the learning (no pun intended) process.

As far as the original poster is concerned, since he works at a shipping company, a problem as simple as "find the address on a webpage" could be a neat proof of concept to show his bosses. Imagine if they could offer customers the ability to "ship" to a URL. That kind of thing might be doable with regexes and such if you constrain the problem to only addresses in the US/Canada, but worldwide address formats are so diverse that ML really helps.

Instead of hiding an image of a text in a layer, they could've encoded the text itself (i.e. the ascii values) into the texture. That's trivial to do and doesn't produce visually-discernible artifacts as per above.
Interesting. I've noticed that the upvoting/downvoting system isn't very objective and tends to favor one side of an opinion over another. Meaning people will upvote you on HN if what you post resonates with them, and HN readership is skewed towards one end of the political/social spectrum. This means that the reward mechanism of HN (upvoting for karma), rewards those with content that conforms rather than challenges some of the assumptions and opinions that run prevalent here. It's very analogous to the real world and money. It's quite rare to be rewarded monetarily for challenging status quo or established trends/opinions. If I was to open a business to challenge an incumbent in an industry, the obstacles I'd face make the risk daunting. That's why the failure rate for start-ups is so high. I'd love to see a study of HN and Reddit and their voting system to see if we can find any strong correlations between that and the real world.

To know your location, the receiver needs the GPS ephemeris and almanac data (basically the status/location/trajectories of the GPS satellites). This is transmitted by the satellites themselves, but extremely slowly (50 bps with the entire navigation message taking 12.5 minutes)

Thanks for explaining that. It explains why when I interfaced a GPS receiver yanked out of a 2001 minivan it took so long to lock into a location with my Palm Pilot.

Definitely. In times of peace, prosperity, and contentment, people would be much more harsh on those who want to overturn the liberal democratic order.

When people are feeling desperate, and it's become clear that the system is not working, it's easy for populists to come in and promise to fix all the problems if only you'll let them do away with that pesky free press, and take votes away from those frustrating opposition people, and get rid of the annoying rules about making profit while in office.

So, how does Google, which we all trust with our precious data end up messing up like this several times in a row?

That parenthetical caveat about the pressure is a doozy. 170 gigapascals is almost 1.7 million atmospheres. So, yes, that's "warmer than the current temperature at the North Pole," but not remotely close to conditions you can easily achieve at the North Pole. For contrast, the crush depth of a modern nuclear submarine is about 3,000 feet, with pressure of less than 100 atmospheres. Kudos to OP for including it in the post title.
> we can no longer use f5-debug

Sums up what is still one of the major issue-slash-weirdness of the php dev world. For all the frameworks and language advance, despite xdebug existing for over 15 years and working great in pretty much any editor or IDE, most PHP dev including the "experienced" ones have no idea how to use a debugger, or if they do they don't apply it to PHP.

Can you imagine debugging your C/C++/Rust/Go/... programs by adding printf everywhere and re-run the whole thing ? Again and again to find which variable fail; while a simple step by step with watches would solve it in a single run, in a tenth of the time, without needing to crappify the source ? That's what 99% of PHP dev still do.

Even the javascript world have adopted proper debugger right in the browser. But in PHP it's so freaking terrible that when people need to solve a bug you don't hear "step until you spot the issue" but "var_dump all the things" or "log to the symfony debug bar !".
Again, they literally produce confidence scores - probabilities that each prediction is correct.

For example, say there are 3 classes, and the network is shown two different examples of class 2. Say it outputs a class probability distribution {0.02, 0.45, 0.43} for the first example, and {0.02, 0.9, 0.08} for the second. Even though in both cases it correctly identifies class 2, it's a lot more confident in its prediction in the second case.
Cool. Nevertheless I feel like this should be upgraded to the 100%-offline-readable level (i.e. at least qblog.aaronsw.com should be mirrored too, so should be Twitter and Pinboard accounts preferably), converted to the epub format and distributed among commercial (for free or for charity), free and pirate ebook libraries. I'm actually surprised nobody has done this yet.

The people who invest labor in startups often have the same kind of vision of how things will go as people who invest capital, and are prone to looking to invest labor in a new startup if the old one doesn't produce as hoped. The trick is transitioning (not all at the same time, usually, but before people flee and destroy continuity) to ownership, management, and staff that are interested in a small, steady-state business.

Go has much better concurrency, networking, and packaging capabilities. NodeJS can be used for both, front-end and back-end, including iOS / Android. Clojure(Script) provides more than Go and NodeJS combined, but was too new at the time. Even Python would be a much more powerful choice than PHP for anything, that is not a simple LAMP application.

It still indicates a fairly massive failure in terms of process. If you have the tools to discover this in an automated fashion but those tools are not part of your release process so you find out about them in production a week later then something is quite borked.

If Google Drive had a failure like this it would be a lot worse than Google+. And that's a much more complex environment.
Like Jeremy Howard (fast.ai) says, nobody learns baseball by first studying several years how to build baseball bats, optimal playing strategies, or managing baseball teams. Nope, you're given a bat, told where to stand, swing the bat and try to hit the ball. Suddenly, you're playing baseball.

Again, you're missing the point, and trying to derail the conversation. He called you on your outrageous claim, asking for proof. You dodged and tried to derail, instead of providing the proof he requested.

Its still not clear to me if its true, but my impression from reading the whitepaper a couple years back was that you could fetch hashblocks for your target file, from any arbitrary node that happens to be serving it, regardless of what the original target was. Eg a block composed purely of white pixels can be equally shared across thousand of gifs, independent of the original file.

Which if true would make it more of a global swarm

Oddly, it would also imply you could potentially generate entirely new files out of the network; in an infinitely large network, you wouldnt even have to specifically upload a new file — the hashtree would be enough, and the network would find the pieces to compose it

Never got anyone to confirm/deny my understanding of it, and its not clear to me why it wouldnt be the case, if it weren’t.

Some CRUD applications have scope for adding recommendations... based on other things the client has create d predict and auto-populate fields in advance or give them recommendations if changing some fields in existing records can help them. Again, it will depend on type of CRUD application.

There's also scope of using ML in analytics and monitoring side apart from the main application and is generally better tolerated by the product team.

Totally agree/understand. I've had a little time messing with budget bin "smart watches" and they remind me a lot of the early versions of Android vs iOS where the hardware/software pairing in iOS was just such a better experience than a really cheap Android phone. The Android ticked all the same boxes on paper but typing or scrolling on both the device was a night and day difference. Note: I'm not trying to start an iOS vs Android fight, just pointing out that having the same basic capabilities (wifi, bluetooth, 3g, touch screen, etc) does not automatically put 2 products in the same category.

You’re welcome and not snarky at all. I am not sure you work with commercially-driven ML projects? It really depends on the metrics only. I can’t trust a ML black box for cancer screening (both false negatives and false positives have a big cost) or complex industrial failures (stopping a plant starts a lot of expensive compensating manouvres) but nobody sane in his mind has a real problem with 88, 90 or 92% accuracy for online retail recommenders (all the field is a kind of magic beyond a certain baseline and money never earned is not money lost from a bookkeeping perspective) or language translation (which is still human-proofed wherever it gets legal value of any kind). Hope I made my point clearer. Cheers.
Why wouldn't it?

They render ID into rasterized text (blocks of pixels) and blend in these blocks. But they could've just as easily rendered raw 0s and 1s of the ID into blocks the exact same way. It just would've not looked like text, but as a random pattern.
