This is my issue with the phrase "AI/ML" as a catch all. You have an excellent general skillset, but "AI/ML" encapsulates a wide spectrum of jobs.

ML-SWE: SWE with ML focus - building architecture around models, feature engineering, distributed training, etc. Relatively limited ML knowledge needed (IMO). The math won't be helpful for this role. Much more important to have SWE background. If you want this, keep building your programming knowledge (Python) and read books. Would focus on understanding the popular frameworks PyTorch and TensorFlow b/c your work will likely interface with those.

Research engineer: Mostly for MS/PHD background. Farther away from the product and closer to actual research. This doesn't sound like what you want to do.

Data Scientist: ML is a subset of the knowledge needed. Applied statistics as important, if not more so. Doesn't sound like you want this.

A path forward:

(1) Program a lot. On what? Anything at all, b/c you need programming skill to work as a SWE.

(2) If you want to do ML-SWE, program with an eye towards ML applications. Maybe do a simple cloud project that leverages ML - Google Cloud makes this particularly easy for classification tasks. Focus on breadth here, not depth. No sane person outside of academia can keep up with state-of-the-art and truly understand it. Far too much material, so focus on fundamentals.

(3) Work towards your strengths. You aren't some hotshot kid out of college proclaiming to be an AI guru. That would be silly and no competent recruiter would believe it. You know hardware - and AI (neural networks) leverages a lot of hardware. Why not focus on the hardware side of AI? Demonstrate your knowledge of how/why TensorFlow is so effective across distributed hardware, or how CUDA accelerates NN computation, or why TPU claims vs. Nvidia may be up to interpretation, etc. This should be a natural transition given your background.

TLDR; Know what you really want to do. Your background is valuable. Play to your strengths. Don't ring the bell.

On the flipside, the mechanisms that make the tech world small are also the mechanisms that will exclude you and those around you if you happen to attract someone’s ire. In the limit case, this seems like a return to feudalism rather than an inclusive opportunity for everyone.

I was at startup school in 2007. What struck me was how motivational and inspiring it felt. The tone in the tech world has shifted dramatically since then, at least online.
Thanks for the feedback- super appreciated! The login/reg system is in need of an overhaul and is the next task on my list. Also, ya, the font choice has made the countdown timer finicky. heh
It's very difficult if not impossible to move Japanese to Romanized spelling completely as most complex compound words are constructed out of Chinese ideograms, and make sense only based on their spelling. The On-yomi (chinese reading) for many characters is identical to that of entirely unrelated characters, because Japanese has no tonality. Most of these words cease to make sense if spelled phonetically in Latin characters -- their spelling is their definition. As an aside, this phonetic ambiguity allows for very entertaining untranslatable puns.

That may be true but studies have shown that most people in the US are deficient. Our indoor lifestyle is to blame, and vit D is not readily available in food as other nutrients are. It is either sun or supplements.
Electric vehicles would have fewer moving parts so in theory it should be possible to make them more serviceable, however as others have pointed out the trend is to make cars less serviceable so it's an unlikely outcome.
The discussion over at the VAF is enlightening as well [1]. The guy basically ignored everyone around him and decided to do things his way or incompletely (he was flying with clecos in the fuselage). That combined with get-there-itis and inexperience with the plane led to his death.

I've flown an RV10 and and seriously looking into building one. Nothing about his accident has any influence on my decision process. The Vans kits are probably the best in the industry and section 5.27 of the plans clearly says not to use any sealant, including RTV, on fluid fittings. (Section 5 is a common chapter to all of the RV series and even comes with the practice kit.)

If an SVM kernel can replicate a 2 layer NN, why couldn't there be a kernel for a X layer NN, and then autoderive the architecture just like SVMs can autoderive the correct number of neurons? Then there'd also be a more robust theoretical understanding of what's happening.
Great list! I code using R and I have not used most of these packages.

I think of it more as a system to help people improve their political reasoning. Too many people are stuck in bubbles, and 'reaching across the aisle' cannot be solved by just showing the "facts"... it needs to be an emotional journey best carried out through interpersonal connections. The question is... will people be willing to have these difficult conversations? I'll just have to see with this startup. heh

High rent is localised? The whole of the UK has high rent AFAICT, our very poor city has high rent.

Rental means paying the costs of property plus paying profit to someone who is already well off enough to front some capital (or at least to get a mortgage) plus paying profits for the bank ... how could renting ever be reasonable priced in a system that requires those without capital to pay those with capital just because those with money already have enough money.

Like music and acting, writing is one of those fields where it's very hard to strike it big, simply because there are so many others trying. You're over-estimating the chance of success here. And given how much lower the barrier to entry has become in the Internet era, I'd argue that making a living as an individual author is much harder than before, and that writing for someone else on salary is a much more sure way to make a living by writing. Do you have any source on your claim that it's much easier than ever before to make a living as an independent author?
If you're going to object to the standard PIE hypothesis, you need a much, much stronger argument than "my folk etymology of one word supports my hypothesis better."

I have a decent knowledge of the history of the steppe regions, and their interactions with settled, urban populations; of the development of early civilizations within the Near East; and of the comparisons between Zoroastrianism and the Vedic pre-Hindu religion. All of that evidence very strongly supports the classic Proto-Indo-European hypothesis and very strongly counsels against Indigenous Aryan hypotheses, so you are going to need provide very compelling evidence if you want to convince anybody.
You can use Google Scholar for searching if you have specific topic in your mind. Under each paper in the search results you can find two links, they are "Cited by ..." and "Related articles", you can find more papers about the topic by using these two links.

Hmm, data compiled from "Public Profiles". I wonder where they got "Public Profiles", listing people's profession and length of tenure. Could it be places like LinkedIn or Dice, and could it be that such places overrepresent engineers inclined to switch jobs?

Personally, I'd be disinclined to interview a candidate with >= 3 jobs on the resumé, none of which lasted longer than 2 years. Taking into account the time spent for them to get up to speed, and the time their successors would have to spend taking over their code, it seems unlikely that their tenure would make much of a positive impact.

Furthermore, a key driver of experience in software engineers is maintaining their own code over multiple product cycles. Job hoppers not only don't acquire that experience, but may actively fall into a habit of bailing as soon as they get sick of their own code.
> Sounds like a job for a profiler?

Consider the similarities between profilers and printf debugging; both of them run your code, and spit out some kind of log, whereas debuggers stop your code in the middle of execution. Workflow wise, they're pretty much the same, even if their objectives are a bit different.

That is not what "living paycheck to paycheck" means. It merely means having insufficient savings to continue to pay bills should a paycheck not arrive each pay period.

The trouble is, in America the bigger mortgage often comes with a better school district.
Well, first, it'd probably be a phone-primary payment world, not a phone-only payment world

That's just moving the goalposts. The whole point of the original post was that moving to a phone-only payment world is a bad thing, and that's what is happening in some places (China is only one).

I see no scenarios where my risk exposure is significant in a phone loss or breakage scenario.

Then I submit that you lack imagination.

Here's a scenario: You're in a country you've never been before. You took an Uber to a restaurant recommended by the hotel concierge. Food was great. You pay with your phone, then leave.

In the street as you try to text your wife a picture of the awesome food, a passerby bumps into you and your phone goes through a sewer grate.

You now have no phone. You can't summon another Uber because you don't have access to the app. You can't call a cab because you can't pay for it. You can't take transit because your transit pass was on the phone. You can't walk back to the hotel, because your map is an app. You can't talk to the locals because your translation dictionary is an app. You're screwed.
I agree, you even look at some of the replies to this comment. The fact that Donald trump himself is under FBI investigation or that this would probably of happen regardless of Trump changing his plan on Iran sanction seems lost.

So there are no situations where as a non-Chinese you have a different experience than Chinese would?

I call shenanigans on that. Anti-foreign(er) sentiment is a pretty narrow lense to view it through. Sometimes it's just the fact the system wasn't built to accommodate you and that causes you grief that a local doesn't experience.

This is a pretty reasonable discussion of the kind of things you might bump up against. I can't imagine these issues are wildly different for you than these guys describe?

The cultural stuff they talk about rings really true from my experience with Japan.

And let's not do a uni-dimensional analysis of what it's like to be white in China, but consider being Black, Japanese/Korean, Indian etc.

Using the words "structured" and "focused" is the wrong way to think about it. It's not usually something purposeful and sinister, it's mostly accidental and inadvertant. You're an edge-case that sometimes hasn't been accounted for.
How much risk is involved in regrinding? A part that has performed adequately for fifty years doesn't necessarily sound like an unsafe choice.
No you don't, because then it makes it seems like you laws are arbitrary and can be swayed by politics. It seems like a good idea now but look around at how abusive that ability can be.
You do not have to positively identify what they ate so much as identify what they did not eat. They did not eat canned food, microwave meals or McDonalds or soda/chips.

The entry page needs a little work, particularly the top banner as you pointed out. It's a challenge and a delicate balance. I tried to provide as clear of an explanation on the front-page... do you feel you learned of the value proposition by reading the rest of the page below the banner?
I do like the idea of a progressive flow, but the tricky thing is reducing bots/trolls (+banned accounts) from entering back into the live debates.
TLDR: this site converts your 24 words into an URL encrypted with a questionable key derived from a pattern and a color (from a dozen choices or so).

This doesn't actually solve the problem of storing the resulting URL, and the added encryption can be brute forced trivially.

The author also makes the assumption that only entering the first few characters of a seed word (which is enough for the site to tell which word it is because the dictionary is limited) is effective at thwarting keyloggers. It isn't. If the site can infer which word you mean based on the first few characters, so can the attacker.

Unexpected legal expenses, medical expenses, family emergencies, all with money locked away behind 401(k) rules and penalties.

As I mentioned in another comment, my grandparents had gone to some retail financial planner like Edward Jones or something, small town, some guy whose family they knew, and he just turned out to be deeply incompetent.

Imagine being elderly and not personally competent to understand ideas like the relative risk of equity or bond portfolios, and your children are equally as incompetent and can’t really help you, and the local options for financial planners are also equally as incompetent.

That’s the picture for the vast majority of people counting on using 401(k) for retirement. They don’t know if they’re in high fee equity portfolios or low fee index replication or bonds etc. They don’t understand any of that very well. They just take what the employer gives them, unwittingly own a bunch of random crap, and hope they got lucky and everything went up enough, or that someone with decent financial skill gave them sound advice.

Note that this is also a big part of how unicorn companies externalize losses to the public. Jack up the price of Uber or Spotify or something, and a while after it has gone public, nearing the time when employee lockup periods are over, random retirees and teachers and firefighters or whatever all unwittingly end up owning shares of this stuff from broad funds they don’t understand via their retirement plan.

Then the unicorn undergoes a massive correction in valuation, but investors and choice employees were allowed to sell at the known inflated prices, meanwhile the buy and hold people unwittingly owning it via a 401(k) just eat the losses.

Well it's always up to you if you consider your genetic parent, your "real father" - sperm donors, adoption, hospital mix-ups, affairs, early death, re-marriage blah blah. No shortage of reasons why you one of your 'parental figures' might not be 50% genetically related to you - and conversely I'm absolutely fine with anybody who rejects a genetic parent as they're an arsehole.
Taking all of that in, you get to pick who cared for you and you choose to reciprocate with the parental nominative.
Genetic stuff is just some nice to have information, along with what's more likely to kill you than average and how friendly your progenitors were with the local neanderthals.

I think maybe it boils down to some people always wanting to know (me) and others who don't (whatever it is) - and you've probably self-selected when you clicked all the boxes as you spat into a tube.
2 minute drive? What?
It takes longer than that to get into the car and get it out of parking.

My bet is that it's at best 10 minutes. Which would mean it's at most 0.5 km if the 2 minutes is actually drive time. Which means by the time you got into a car you'd be there on foot.

Going that distance takes 10 minutes for a reasonably fit person.

Unless your car goes some 300 km/h...

The usual rule of thumb is that going by car is about 6x faster for urban conditions and 20x for long roads.
The “core” is not open source, which is mostly low-level platform integration code. Talon is basically a pile of APIs built around a Python scripting engine. My goal is to make all the user facing features either completely defined in open source user scripts/plugins or fully scriptable/configurable. You can already contribute to the user scripts. Someone could even have a project like Caster that supports using the Talon APIs but is itself fully open source.

I have open-sourced over 100 of my projects. My current decision is to not open-source Talon at least as long as it is my full-time job for no real salary. I’m putting a lot of work into it and giving it away for free, this is what you get.

The Packt Python Humble Bundle 2019
About 10-15% of the opinion addresses the issues of whether or not the university had "substantial control" over the vehicle for harassment and if it displayed "deliberate indifference" in not taking appropriate steps to end the harassment. It rejects the idea that the University can't control activity on its own network. It also notes that the University allowed the harassment to continue for months when it could have stopped it.

It seems like we're reading pages 14 - 24(ish) of the opinion - plus some later sections - differently. That's the nature of this sort of ruling. This does not constitute a misunderstanding of the complaint on my part, nor was I misled by the title on reason.com.

Personally, I agree with the vast majority of the opinion. The University could have - and should have - done more to pinpoint the harassers and punish them in accordance with university policy. It does not explicitly state that the University should have blocked the app, but it does spend considerable time demonstrating that not blocking the app constituted deliberate indifference to the harassment.

I also agree with the other poster who mentioned there are other ways for communicating threats. With hindsight being 20-20, though, we don't know if a threat is a serious threat until it is acted upon. By the time those systems are activated, there has generally already been violence and/or loss of life, unfortunately.

Greetings fellow hackers! Author of Autumn here!

I've been writing Autumn on and off for a few months, because there's something really satisfying and rewarding about automating something you do often, and then using that to automate more, and building upward in a cycle.

That, plus I wanted to see how close to building a "legit IDE" I could get while completely faking it with WKWebViews. So Autumn kind of grew from those two principles and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I'd be glad to answer any questions, I'll be here for a few more hours. (I don't have internet at home so I use the library's wifi for stuff like this, and it closes early today.)
