>Of course, the elephant in the room is where can we obtain a dataset that is 300x larger than ImageNet? At Google, we have been continuously working on building such datasets automatically to improve computer vision algorithms. Specifically, we have built an internal dataset of 300M images that are labeled with 18291 categories, which we call JFT-300M. The images are labeled using an algorithm that uses complex mixture of raw web signals, connections between web-pages and user feedback. This results in over one billion labels for the 300M images (a single image can have multiple labels). Of the billion image labels, approximately 375M are selected via an algorithm that aims to maximize label precision of selected images. However, there is still considerable noise in the labels: approximately 20% of the labels for selected images are noisy. Since there is no exhaustive annotation, we have no way to estimate the recall of the labels.

Actually, they seem to be warming up. There was a report a few months back that they want to bring 200k IT professionals from India. Not sure if they actually mean that though.

>Japan will open up its doors to about two lakh IT professionals from India, and issue green cards to settle down in Japan and support the country's rapidly expanding IT infrastructure, said Shigeki Maeda, Executive Vice President at Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO), a government body, here on Thursday.

There’s no other way, is it? You basically have to have the complete string library re-implemented for each supported multi-byte encoding.
? I know people at most schools I pay attention to getting paid to specifically work on that. In fact this is what probably one of the most famous applied mathematicians in certain engineering crowds (Ingrid Daubechies) is working on for her big project from what i understand
It's one thing when more resources allows you to do something that was not possible without them and entirely different thing when you need to throw gigabytes and gigahertz at programs offering less (because minimalism!!!1111!1).

More resources should mean that I can do things that were not possible before, or that I can do more things at the same time and not that I can do less because someone is to lazy to learn something new.
> How did he get away with all of it for so long?

Corruption. He fritter'ed a great deal of this money to precisely the same Prime Minister who selected him.

This wasn't unique, either. This sort of corruption is much more pervasive than most people believe. In China many of the top party officials are billionaires. Vladimir Putin is widely believed to have massively enriched himself during his reign.

Frankly, the biggest surprise is that the corruption in this case was caught.
Just as we shouldn’t confuse the great work of German train engineers during the early 1940s, who developed a state of the art, scalable rail network to efficiently transport people from all over Europe to specific areas in Poland, with the atrocities their Nazi leaders committed.
The prime minister profited handsomely from this affair. Probably a billion or two himself.
If they could solve two scenarios I would be content: highways and congested city traffic (where cars mostly sit and advance a few meters at a time). Especially the congested city traffic scenario would spare me of a ton of stress. If I don't have to watch the roads I can detach emotionally and find something else to kill time.
Good read. Thanks for sharing.

To answer #2, no. Apple played into ATT's lies when they were behind on 4G LTE deployments and labeled 3G HSPA+ as 4G. ATT is far more brazen than other US carriers in this scheme and should be held accountable. Apple also displayed this bogus logo on the iPhone at the time. Keep in mind, however, Apple had strong exclusivity with ATT during the early years of the product.

ATT seems to like to confuse the truth more often than other carriers as well. One big, recent, fiasco was supporting wideband audio (HD calling) and WiFi calling on Google Pixel handsets. ATT never said in print they didn't support it and made references to the fact that all feature were supported on their website. When you'd call them ATT support would claim it was fully supported, yet ATT did not. This was true for both OG Pixels and PIxel 2s for both at launch and well into those device lifecycles. I know because I had technical tickets opened for about a year with ATT before leaving them. The point being ATT likes to pretend a lot. Of all the carriers (have been customers of the major 3 for different products over the years) they are, in my opinion, the least trustworthy in that regard.

Maybe I’m missing something or not thinking it through but why not pay people to have babies based on their status? It would cause more divide between classes but I feel like the ends might justify the means.

Great education and job? You get paid more to have a baby.

Homeless? You get paid nothing to have a baby.

Put the payment on a sliding scale. The lower the birth rate the higher the pay until you cross your desired threshold (1.8 in this case) at which point it starts going down again.

Edit: or just go the other way and tax people if they’re not having babies. Same principle as above but with taking money away.
> The parent is remarking that by choosing GPL the code would probably never be used.

Nonsense. Raph Levien's spiro spline code already is used in Inkscape and Fontforge, as you could easily have found out yourself. How exactly is releasing code under GPL going to to prevent its adoption in widely used GPL'ed software?

And if the approach is any good, why would a commercial software vendor not be convinced by the GPL'ed prototype to reach out to Raph to find a licensing deal or commission work from him rather than doing it themselves?

> people [...] do not realize how unusable GPL is.

The GPL is so unusable that almost every computer or device you touch is full of GPL'ed software.
The barrel and the entire gun must stretch and flex while firing. That flex will store some acceleration.

Also consider that multiple bits of the gun are mechanically attached to each other. It looks like the accelerometer is attached to the barrel, whereas the majority of the rearward forces before bullet leaves the barrel is acting on the bolt. Even as a bolt action, there's plently of interesting mechanical interfaces to absorb energy and movement before transferring to the barrel.

Also assumes there is a operator or deployer there in the first place. If you mail-order drone parts to a flat, have them assembled by task rabbits, the police can go chasing all day long, and only arrest the equivalent to some warehouse employees.

Well pip is only one command, so it can't simultaneously work for both Python 2 and Python 3. And if you happen to have another installation of Python or pip in your path (e.g. at the user-level) but not have the other one there, then they'd affect different installations entirely. When you run it via Python you know it's affecting exactly the same installation.

Upgrading pip itself is kind of a special case I think. You don't want to upgrade stuff managed by a system package manager using pip; their work will conflict with each other. This includes pip itself. I think this is kind of a mess and I don't know of a great way to deal with it other than just remembering not to upgrading system packages using pip (yes this includes pip itself, and means you should avoid trying to upgrade via --user if it's installed on the system). On Windows where I am it's ironically less annoying since there's no system-level package manager to worry about... go figure.

> It seems to me that the prosecutor and finance minister are probably just as corrupt. They just see a pot of money and want to steal it, masquerading it as reparations.

Could you provide some data to substantiate these accusations? The prosecutor is the first non-Muslim Attorney General in Malaysia's history, picked right after a historic election for Malaysia where the opposition party won for the first time. I don't see any evidence of corruption from what I scanned.

The finance minister is Lim Guan Eng. A politician who was previously imprisoned for defending a rape victim. Allegations of corruption against him were proven to be false and planned by, ironically, a corruption-funded organization under the former regime (the one that was partnered with GS). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lim_Guan_Eng

That's true, PATCH would solve that specific writing aspect of the problem, but there is still the issue that each user would not know that the other user has changed another property; we need some kind of server push mechanism to inform users that the underlying data has changed. Also, if users update one field at a time, it's more expensive to have one HTTP request per field (considering the HTTP headers overhead and potentially having to open a new connection) rather than using one WebSocket frame per update.

I'd argue the premise that anyone can code. Yes anyone can type what they saw in a book or online, but not nearly as many can comprehend what they typed and understand what they are doing and the implications of it long term.

Second to that, technology interviews overall are STILL broken. I really don't give a shit if you know the Big O for a specific algorithm, I care if you know when you would use certain data structures/algorithms and not others. I care if you can work in a team and participate and have a passion to learn.

So I, long ago, dropped doing the whos smarter interviews and went to a method that let's me ask you real world scenarios and see how you think through them. Because in the end that's what we do daily. So I'll ask questions for real problems we have faced and solved and see how you would approach them to see how you think. I don't care if your answer is the same as what we did, I care that you can defend your answer and participate in healthy non-conflict debate because that's how we find the right answer. I also don't sit there and ask you to whiteboard an efficient for loop to reverse a string or take your pick on other stupid questions. That isn't to say I won't ask specific coding type questions, but I don't care about you solving some stupid problem on the spot. I do care if you know the content and can apply techniques to solve the problem, because if you have those two things, you can figure the rest out effectively.

Oh and I will never send you a problem and ask you to code something for me, even paid. That is the ultimate of lazy and disrespectful IMO. To me it is like saying, you are not worth my time, but if you can pass this test I MIGHT bother talking to you, but no guarantees.

An alternative I feel is respectful and fair is during an interview, I might present you with some code and ask you to do a code review on it. I am not asking you to do "work" for free but I am seeing how you will look and think through code, plus I will gain far more from being able to ask you questions and see how you think than sending you home with some problem where I have no insight to your thought process.

I don't think Russian SSR and the USSR were synonymous terms for anything but for informal colloquial usage.

The Russian SSR had only 51% of the population and 77% of the land of the Soviet Union.[1] Both the Belyrussian SSR and Ukrainian SSR were United Nations members states and constituent states of the Soviet Union.[2] After the breakup of the Soviet Union, some scholars have referred to Russian Federation as a rump state.[3]

I feel like the fundamental issue is that it simply does not make sense for pip to be able to install or upgrade any Python packages managed by the system package manager, any more than it makes sense for it to upgrade the system-level Python interpreter itself.

Concrete example, for anyone who didn't get their primary education in the USA: In the school system I went to, "world history" really meant, "post-Renaissance European history." China and India never really entered the stage. But the East India Company did, which did make it necessary to at least acknowledge their existence in passing.

That said, I get the GP's point about excessive self-flagellation, and agree that it's OK to cut people some slack for not having a super-precise grasp of the local geography in places they'll probably never go. When I see major cities that lie within just a few kilometers of US borders described as, e.g., "Toronto, Canada" instead of "Toronto, Ontario", though, I still wonder.
India is not as important on the world stage and as relevant to as many other nations as the U.S.A. or China are. And China's provinces are not as independent and as relevant as America's states. China is much more centralized.

The states aren't just provinces. It's not happenstance that they are constantly talked about.

Hell, it's in the bloody name of the country.

Ok, I'll bite.

This is the most straightforward way I can think of to implement the program you described. I think this is more or less what someone would come up with after glancing at the Python tutorial:

What is wrong with it? It works as expected with non-ASCII characters in both command-line arguments and in input.txt (Python 3.5.3 on Linux, LANG=en_US.UTF-8). Yes, it doesn't work if you have a file that's not consistent with your locale, but you can't really blame Python for that.

I think the focus on New York City's L line closure is the least important part of the article. Far more important is the idea that standard public transit (subways, buses, etc.) is more efficient than any new solution (Uber, Lyft, scooters, hyperloop, some future autonomous taxi service) because the former serves more people.

Most of the people on this site don't have significant personal experience with the NYC subway. I think that if you are going to write a comment making claims that are directly contradicted by the article (e.g. you state the NYC subway is a "highly inefficient monopoly" when the article calls it a "success"), you should cite reputable sources that also contradict it.

I'm not sure to what extent the problem is due to economics and to what extent it's due to culture. I read recently that half of single men in Japan are virgins, which is quite staggering. Lots of Japanese people seem to have simply "dropped out" of the idea of having an intimate relationship, replacing that with video games and pornography.

When I lived in Japan, what struck me was how infantile and coddled the whole culture seemed: lots of "kawaii" anime everywhere, in advertisements, on product wrapping, etc. Signs everywhere telling you how to act (in grocery stores they have footprint markings on the floor to tell you what path to follow...). Grown men watching anime about little girls. I wonder if all this is creating a masculinity crisis in Japan.

Funny how they went from Samurais to this.
