Yeah bad example. A better example would have been this:

> Sol Smith, chair of liberal arts at a Southern California college, said he landed his job after earning three degrees. But with four daughters and mounting health care costs, he said, saving just isn’t possible.

Why do people have 3+ kids without thinking about their financial situation?

i do not believe that apple allows you to sideload apps without jailbreaking (which voids warranty iirc). Therefore, the user is not free to make that choice.
2k per month for a rent controlled room? On a salary of 70k pre tax, 2k per month is roughly half of the income.
Indeed. You would notice that I had said as much. For the analogy between SVMs and LR to work you need L2 squared regression specifically, other regularizers, for example L1 wont work for the analogy. L2 squared is the key for the connection with Hilbert space and kernels to fall out automagically

As others have said, you don't actually want the global optimum of a neural network because that would be terrible overfitting. There is some evidence that architectural tricks (like ResNet) that empirically help performance are making the loss landscape "more convex", though.

> You need to figure out what kind of company you are, and then hire (and maybe fire) based on that. No engineer is accusing NASA of being too fastidious, or Facebook for moving too fast, because everybody is on the same page from day one.

That makes a lot of sense.

The multitude of complaints show me that we're not only communicating what we want to, but also we're failing at communicating what kind of engineers we want.

We're currently changing our hiring process, and I will give that feedback to HR and to C-levels.

That's really good advice.

Thank you.

Wait, are you talking about the person that litterally stepped in front of a driverless car and was killed? Because I can’t see how that would’ve been any different with a human behind the wheel.

OP here. Yes, it's a bit of a risk. But I figure that it's a small one.
When I refer to super-humans I mean better-looking, faster, stronger, and smarter. I'm not talking about smallpox immunity.
I hear what you're saying about the letter of the law and all, but the fact of the matter is that at big intersections people don't drive that way in any country that I've been to. Waymo cars have an annoying tendency to just abruptly stop in the middle of intersections when they clearly have the right of way- scenarios when a human driver would rightfully not stop. So I do blame them for causing totally unnecessary traffic snags.
BS EE here.

I am also an engineer and approach the world with an engineering mindset. And I would never use "Engineer" as part of my title. For me, once it becomes a title/capitalized, it's no longer an adjective but a designation.

My first initial is D and I use that instead of my first name. When people address me as "Dr Casey" I correct them on that too.
> okay with a roommate

That's a really big caveat. Most places you don't need to spend that much for a one bedroom apartment.
This really depends on what you consider harassment.
I mentioned in a previous HN thread that there likely wasn't a line Facebook could cross that might make me delete my account. I'm not there yet, but I'm willing to admit before that I was wrong. If I posted on Facebook, I would leave the platform here and now.

I've had two friends who went to take advantage of university counseling services for anxiety and depression that they wanted help with, only to be committed to a local hospital involuntarily for saying the wrong thing until their families intervened to have them discharged. The episode would have merely been stressful for them, but they were each restricted from returning to their classes until the next semester. Neither of them were at any level of risk for suicide or self-harm, but the universities they went to naturally were obligated to err on the side of caution.

Such events are relatively rare, but keep many students who are suffering from mental illness from taking the risk of using available resources.

I'd honestly hate to be committed because I was a little too sarcastic in a Facebook comment, and much like public universities I fear Facebook is incentivized to make the least risky call.
The reason is that almost nobody wants to ban cars from the center of almost any American city. It turns out that being able to drive in cities is considered useful by many people.

You can stick around and speak up for your point of view, certainly, but unless you pick one of a very few places like the aforementioned NYC and Seattle, you've got a difficult case to make. You certainly won't achieve any traction in Arizona, where the events described in this article took place.

I really like this sort of stuff, and the home page is very pretty (and also professional looking). I balked at the sign-up and get a reference code on the Facebook page though.

A similar thing for anyone else with this predicament: http://www.onezoom.org/

Specific questions:

How do you deal with regions of the tree that are a matter of active research/debate, or otherwise ambiguous?

On your front page image, what's happened to Ctenophora?

How do you deal with extinct species?

How do you deal with species which we can infer must exist, but aren't in the fossil record (that we have found yet)?
There is not really a "Chrome Trust List". The Chrome browser does have Google-specific policies, but it doesn't use a Google trust store, it uses the OS supplied trust store, e.g. on Windows it consumes SChannel's Trust Store and the macOS version of Chrome uses the macOS Trust Store.

On a Google Android device, such as a Pixel, Google are responsible for the OS trust store, as they build the entire OS, but in practice it's basically the Mozilla trust store.

To the extent that we can say "Everybody else will have to go along" with anything when it comes to the trust roots, I'd suggest it's whatever Mozilla, a public charity, chooses to do. A brutally frank person might suggest that for-profit trust stores (all the big ones except Mozilla are for-profits) see considerable value in having unwelcome but necessary decisions made officially by somebody else before they "reluctantly" go along with them.

Also, Google is a very big company, the people who work on Google's Certificate Authority, the people who work on Chrome, and the people who co-operate with Mozilla are three separate groups at Google.
Implementing your own kernel is awesome, but also makes it sort of definitionally not a Linux kernel…
I think there are several elements particular to the tech industry that elevates this problem past ‘classic’ Imposter Syndrome. So that label feels a bit reductionist to me, though not entirely incorrect.
Thanks for those deeper details, enlightening!
Fashion is relevant only if you want to approach it as a fashion industry.
There are any number of measures we could take that would prevent deaths. We could lock people in a cage and monitor them 24/7. That would keep them alive. Should we do it?

# of deaths reduced is not the sole factor we should use to determine whether a particular course of action is good
I just offered to hold this mans hand through the entire process of coming to a correct conclusion about the most important topic of our time. I am not sure how helping this person was an example of incivility.
Many are talking about the steep 30% take which I thought for subscriptions was changed down to 15%, anyways, having a single place and a single bill for my iTunes subscriptions all handled by Apple is fantastic. I much prefer it. But it’s a 15 to 30% “tax” and companies are willing to find alternatives. That’s fine.
Look at all the surnames tied to occupations: Taylor, Smith, Fisher, Miller, Wainwright, Baker, etc. Not saying it's not funny, but it's nothing even close to new.
I left academia in the UK as a postdoc in robotics, joined Firebase via H1B visa to San Fransisco, got aquired by Google, worked for 4 years.
I found working for Google stressful, but lucrative and so it was the best decision i made. It totally change the course of my life for the better. I learnt so much about building teams, scaling impact, productionizing software, dealing with public. I missed academic problems, they are fun, but knowing your software has millions of users feels better and its nice having family vaguely recognize what you do.
The medical and financial stability let me start a family without fear, not having to stress about money is a huge weight off my shoulders. I feel very lucky.

Not sure how repetable that is. I was lucky to get a h1b, and i was lucky picking a winner like Firebase early stage, but i genuinely beleived it was the future of development. So great move, and i think i could go back into academia if i wanted, so its left me in a stronger position.

How's the real estate in Detroit? Is it too late to invest in good property for cheap?
It depends on the structure of the DB - 6.5GB is large if its attributes, if its documents then not so much. If its an index of documents then a different problem. Access patterns matter to. Like if its a 6.5 GB database that stores OLTP data, then yes thats large. If its a history of document modifications then probably small. If its historical data for a data cube sort of app, then its pretty small, I'd say tiny - I've worked on ones that get into the TB's.
Best explanation of the issues I have seen is https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/12/15-worry...
If, in the view of a court of law, it was not the algorithms fault due to negligence or whatever then I agree they are not responsible. I only ask the same rules be applied to the machine as a human. As for who ultimately pays, fine, substitute CEO or whatever. As long as someone actually does time, and it's not just a fine, because you can't put a company in prison. If we were talking about civil engineers designing a bridge that causes a death, I'm sure that chief engineers face at least some personal liability regardless of whatever shield the company offers.
Docker Base Image OS Size Comparison
But you won't be able to train it to the same accuracy.

I'm not sure I agree with this bit in theory. A Neural Network is a stack of basis functions; and this stack can also be seen as a bunch of basis functions. And basis functions are what kernels represent. Trivially, you could then "copy" the weights that a ANN would learn into a kernel and obtain the same accuracy.

The reason this doesn't work in practice is, in SVMs, you tend not to learn kernels from scratch but use (possibly a combination of) standard parameterized kernels - [1]. The learning step in the SVM adapts this standard kernel to your dataset as much as the parameters allow, but this would be sub-optimal compared to learning a kernel (or the corresponding basis functions) from scratch that's built just for your data. With a well trained ANN the latter is what you get.

[1] there has been a fair amount of work on learning kernels too, but its not as mainstream as using standard kernels.
You'll have to change your username after just a few sessions! ;-).

I will say, the problem for me, and I have very few sleep issues, is that when I do try this technique, I get very involved in whatever it is I decide to start studying.

It's a great relief from whatever's been keeping me up, but not a great solution for sleep.

At least in my case. So I recommend things which aren't screen related. Math books, with their problems you can hand write are a great fit.

Alternatively fiction works well for me too. I key every vocabulary word I learn into Anki which helps as well.

Good luck and happy new years, I hope you get some rest my friend.
Local maximum instead of global maximum. In order to become more fit, it would have to temporarily decrease its fitness and thus is stuck in a dead end. More mutation or larger population size in that specific simulation might solve the issue.
The end of digital revolution's childhood
The linked to article makes the argument Corman CL is a more approachable code base and also that the IDE makes it a bit more beginner friendly than Emacs w/ SLIME w/ SBCL or CCL (Clozure CL).
No degree, worked in lab for 1.5 years writing software for neuralfeedback and data analysis for eeg/fmri systems in the NE area using a variety of programming languages/hardware. 1 co-authorship for a paper and 1 acknowledgement in another.

I dont find industry nearly as interesting subject wise, but pays way better than a research assistant with no degree. I worked remote (live in SE asia now, and traveling some from ME to Japan) for the past 3 years from one hedgefund to pharmaceutical data company (an arm of a hedgefund), and some random work. Now I algo trade my own funds and work on neuro related software/hardware side projects.

Only complaint is that too many employers still want people on site, but I dont care about it that much as I used to now that I’m doing my own thing and contract work if someone brings me something that interests me.

Don’t see myself going into academia again in the same way, not intersted in the lab politics nor grant-paper hamster wheel.
Anyone in the southern hemisphere confused about this?
It also has great animation support which would support some of the “flash” seen in the OP’s example.
I always blamed it on the fact we stopped adding HTML tags too early.

There were a lot of UI elements that were obviously needed if you were going to use a browser as an interactive app platform, but were easily passed over when minimal forms were considered sufficient.

I could see, for examples, a consistent WYSIWYG edit-box, a dropdown menu construct, a select-with-manual-override, consistent date and time widgets. Instead we got a bunch of inappropriate elements glued together with CSS and JavaScript to sort of work, but in unpredictable, non-native ways.

This is what I do, with a little yellow led reading light. The light is very important. Red might be better (last rally codriver said it's easier on his eyes at night...) but haven't tried yet.

On another note it also helps to pay attention to my heart rate and what I am thinking about. IE if I think about scaling an in memory graph db my heart rate jumps and I can't sleep. Maybe common sense but fun to play with.
Expensive downtown and cheap in the neighborhoods, so no, but it's far less clear to me that the neighborhoods will rebound in the way that the downtown area has (nearly all of Detroit's non-gentrified areas are overwhelmingly black, and across the midwest predominantly black neighborhoods have proven quite resilient to gentrification, for better or worse).
Thanks! Yes its a pretty good demo, it should be more popular IMO.

Over fitting applies when an algorithm it’s self encodes the data you feed it. This is not that because it works just fine on data outside the training set by encoding the data into an output.

Further, the way it was encoding the data was steganography which is ‘Hiding a message in the title and context of a shared video or image.’ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography

Let me be clearer.

You are free to make that choice [of running software from more than one retailer] by choosing a different computing platform. Hundreds of models of Android phone are available at every price point, from super-budget to super-premium.

It's important to me that I can choose a platform that has a strongly walled ecosystem because I greatly prefer the advantages of it more than I dislike the disadvantages. That's my opinion and I am happy that a product exists that satisfies my needs. If you don't like Apple's ecosystem, don't buy their products.

Asking for an Apple device that uses the Android/AOSP business model is like insisting that Jeep builds a Wrangler with a Tesla drivetrain. If that's really what you want and you're willing to put the effort in, you can make it yourself. It's entirely possible.
From the Wikipedia article on Engineer [1]:

> Engineers, as practitioners of engineering, are professionals who invent, design, analyze, build, and test machines, systems, structures and materials to fulfill objectives and requirements while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost

This fits a lot of software development (esp. "systems"). The process of developing software is an engineering process, not a mathematical or design process, so it makes sense to use the term "engineer". However, I wouldn't use the term for all programmers, as not all programming does the full process.

In any case, the term "engineer" is very vague and has broadened significantly over time, whereas terms like lawyer and physician have stayed pretty consistent.

This is a vast, fundamental question in bioethics. The question is whether manipulating humans like this, even if technically successful, is good and right. The concerns might be religious or secular, or both. What do we want humanity to be? Do we really want a future where people tailor make babies? Like, what does it even mean to be human? For many people who think about these questions—myself included—the answers seem quite complicated.
