I also went back as an adult. I felt like the semesters were too short if anything. The types in-depth projects we did in upper division classes needed 15 week semesters.

Even without the long projects, the vast majority of students in my CS and math classes couldn't have handled 2x the information. The shorter summer versions of hard classes always had a much higher fail rate.

At my university you could also take up to 21 hours if you had a good GPA, and you could go during the summer. If you could handle this, you could complete most degrees in 2.5 years.

I also didn't feel like my school treated me like a child, and 90% of my professors were fantastic.

When I had a class that covered a topic I was already familiar with, I used the opportunity to get even more familiar it with by tutoring, working on harder projects, and picking the professor's brain. I also took harder theoretical classes at every opportunity.

I worked as a programmer for almost a decade before i went back for CS, and I only had 2 classes that I thought were a waste of time (both practical non-theory classes taught by the same guy).
It's not realistic that the vast majority of people can expected to be hired, or move to those places, let alone achieve those salary levels. I would be amazed if even 1% of applicants actually got hired. You have 5x greater chance of being accepted at Stanford. There is a tremendous bias on HN, because those people that have, frequent here.
It is kind of our own fault, though.

Judging by the sentiment on HN when GDPR was coming into effect, if something like it came up for a vote in the US, a lot of HN users and other tech people would vote against it.

There was no shortage of angry geeks posting articles about their service turning away EU users rather than complying with GDPR.
That would be relatively easy to do something very similar with middleware for express/koa

router.get('/users/:id'. skipNonUuid(id => ...))

You simply have a function/middleware that does the check.... or `compose(skipNonUuid, dbo.findUserById, ui.formatView('modelName'))`

You can do function composition that is nearly as simple and far more flexible in general with JS

Why not have a service that maintains metadata for popular podcasts with the timing of the commercial parts so players that know how to read it can auto-skip? The players can charge for the option and the metadata can be supplied by the content creators so they get a portion of the proceeds. If the content providers don't want to supply the information it can be crowd-sourced.
Certainly. I'd meant to imply as much.
> Because EMX is a new model in machine learning, we do not yet know its usefulness for developing real-world algorithms. So these results might not turn out to have practical importance.

I don't think that's the correct conclusion. More likely, all learning models have unprovable problems so the choice of model is not important wrt the existence of unprovable problems.

Really, this is not a surprising result. All mathematical systems gave unprovable problems. ML is a mathematical system and no exception.
It depends. I don’t think there is a language which is categorically the best. The solution to a given problem may be harder or easier to express in different languages. Some problems are better solved in C, some in Python, ..., and some in Shell.
Beef is expensive though! I don't think people are reading the grandparent post carefully enough. I think the point is correct.

Obviously at the margins there are costs to environmental impact that may or may not be realized in consumer pricing and there's lots to argue about on the regulatory side.

But in general, if you have to "equivalent" products shipped and produced in bulk, and one costs 4x as much as another (roughly where "beef vs. soy protein" lands for the consumer), it's a really good bet that the cheaper one involved less energy to produce.

Frankly, I think that GDPR was rolled out quite well. And I think there was way more fear mongering and intentional confusion by the "no regulations should exist ever and all are badly horrible" then actual problems with legislations or its rollout.

I did seen institutions doing unnecessary crazy things or waking up a day before it went valid etc. There is no way this was avoidable entirely and given people trying to lobby against it by essentially lying, all in all it went quite well.

My hours of efficiency are not like in grandparent, and after I'd tried a lot of things with switching the sleeping time, the only conclusion that these hours are tied to internal clock of what is day/night (1 to 10 a.m. for me, varies a bit in winter/summer). I know two ways around: constant jet lag or submarine mode, and can't go for any of them.

You can reduce your carbon footprint by orders of magnitude more by not having children, or having fewer children, but I don't see as many people advocating for voluntary sterilization (or even just abstaining from childbearing). Most people believe it's their deity-given right (and often imperative) to keep reproducing, even if our environment suffers as a result.

I point this out to suggest that at the end of the day all of this is emotional and is largely driven by how we were socialized and raised from a very young age. It's often difficult to get people to agree with rational arguments when those arguments contradict a lifetime of programming.

Having said all that, I've found that the environmental argument is the only one that gives me pause around my meat consumption.

I think everyone who become proficient in shell tries to implement something large in it, gets burned, and realizes that it’s a bad idea. I certainly had that experience.
It is quite possible to graduate quickly with a 4 year degree from a university. Just take more than the minimum courses per semester and take classes during the summer. I did 5 years of credit in 3 years.

I wish I hadn't rushed through though. The university experience is great. I wish I had socialized more, spent more time on side projects, and did internships in undergrad.
Thank you for your high-quality technical questions.

1) Audio streams are naturally segmented between those three states. Separating talk from music is rather easy. The most challenging part is to separate talk from ads (spoken ads) and music from ads (musical ads).
Filtering ads and talk gives you a music-only experience, which is good when you want to work for example.

2) 3) I am not an expert on RNNs. My understanding is that the LSTM keeps the state between each prediction. I will hopefully get back to you with more precise answers.

4) Your idea about the embedded layer N=32 looks very smart. The dataset is, strictly speaking, a mixed bags of 10-second 100% ads, 100% speech and 100% music (with some slight tolerance at the edges of the track). But when labeling data, I have often tried to label contiguous segments of a minute to several minutes. Though, to not spoil the dataset, I often get a discontinuity on transitions (e.g. music -> ads). So in conclusion I would need to create the dataset you describe. Not a big deal I guess.

X) Streams without ads are quite common. E.g. http://www.radiomeuh.com/ or https://www.fip.fr/
The thing is that you get a very big corpus of whitelisted data. Too big actually. The solution I have used for a while is to monitor the radio metadata (using https://github.com/adblockradio/webradio-metadata) and downloading musics with youtube-dl. It worked quite well to bootstrap ;)

> "That's selfish" Yes, just like the millions of people who use Adblock software on their browser.

I don't see this as selfish, not when it comes online ads. I think this "moral" argument is pushed by people who generally benefit from ads and have less incentive to considers ethical issues raised by ad tech. From their perspective, advertising is free money. Publishing has a cost and people's work and effort should be compensated, all right. But you are not ripping someone off just because they picked the wrong revenue model. You are just protecting yourself by preventing your data being used by thirds parties without your consent. And you should.

And besides, there are ethical ads options. Given the choice, I would support publishers using these ads, in absence of a better solution.
>> "But it'll lead to the collapse of podcast publishing".

There's money and there's money.

If one cool website gets money thanks to painful invasive advertising, I call that bad money. I'm paying them using bad money. They've chosen that I deserve that mean to pay them. Not very respectful, but I'm ok with it since I read it.

If on the other they ask me a few bucks to access them, that's good money. They basically do me a favor. The favor to have a choice : is that site so good I'm willing to pay ? 30 years ago, I was spending say 6-7 euros a month to buy magazines, so it was possible to make content interesting enough for me to pay. And it wasn't dark ages, I had some very interesting information (Dr. Dobb's, Edge, Byte...)

And I'm saying that you're wrong there - the chance of getting more than half of the blocks approaches 1 as the number of blocks increases, given that you have 51% of the hashing power.

You're focused on the chance of getting 6 in a row. But what you should be looking at is the chance of getting at least 7 in 13, which is given by this equation:

P(K>=N) = sum(nCr(M, k) * p^k * (1-p)^(M-k)) from k=N to M

With M=13, N=7 and p=.51 - which works out to about 53%. But 8 in 15 also works, 9 in 17, etc. The limit of that probability (n+1 in 2n+1 as n -> inf) is 1.

Also, a casino is not likely to have many days in the red, just like it won't have many years in the red. (for bets only, ignoring everything else) This is because while the chance on any one bet may only be 51%, the chance of 10,000 bets, or 1,000,000 bets having a majority go south starts to get very, very small. (~27.5% for 1000 bets, ~2.5% for 10,000 bets at 51%, etc)

Except for actually holding the degree.

And yes, the 100+ person classes are the introductory classes offered in first and second year before things get whittled down to something more personal. However, they really set the tone for those first couple of years, saying "You're not in high school anymore".
Congratulations on the round Austen and team!

One thing I have always thought about when it comes to incentives in this model is that you have an incentive to only take in students that are likely to finish the degree and get a high paying job. This could lead to pattern matching people from backgrounds that are likely to do well due to demographics. How do you think about this and do you have any systems in place for minorities?

I had it at the counter and was pretty disappointed.

I was excited to try it since I saw a lot of people talk about how similar it was to to meat and how you couldn't tell the difference.

Maybe if you've been a vegetarian for ten years you can't tell the difference, but I thought it was pretty obvious. The outside was strangely crispy and the texture was off.
As long as we're playing whataboutism... the Great Leap Forward occurred roughly 10-20 years after WWII, which led to a similar number of deaths in Europe. Without looking up data, I think it's safe to assume Europe's economies contracted substantially during WWII as well. So there's plenty of "clear failure" to go around. At best, one might argue that the US recovered from WWII faster, because it was the only major nation left undamaged.

As for the argument about the impact of concentration camps... the US currently has 2.3M people incarcerated with a third the population of China. If you're arguing that this is somehow economically relevant, then you're arguing the US (the richest nation in history) has it even worse.

I don't think the argument that "Countries with better infrastructure, physical, legal, and otherwise, should enjoy higher rates of growth" goes where you want it to go. Just about any "developing country" has a far higher rate of growth than the mature western nations with the best infrastructure. If the theory doesn't fit the facts, the theory is wrong. I think you may be conflating current state with growth here. They're not the same.

Speaking of developing nations, Argentina is not the example you want it to be, either. Per Wikipedia, Argentina's per capita income from 1890-1950 was "similar to western Europe". The economy grew steadily until the 1976-1983 coup and military dictatorship, which is when the debt crisis set in. It took nearly 20 years of difficult experiments to get past the problems caused by seven years of right-wing incompetence. The Argentinian economy has grown more or less steadily and well since 2002, and their per capita income is on par with Brazil, Chile, and other major South American nations. (As an aside, in Prisoners of Geography, Tim Marshal argues that Argentina and other South American nations are ultimately limited economically relative to powerhouses like the US, China, and France, due to their geography - and that the success of the US, China, and western Europe is a direct consequence of some really marvelous geographic features, such as outstanding ports and long navigable rivers through rich farmland.)

So anyway... if the question is, as you phrase it, "whether Chinese prosperity could have occurred without the existence of Western values", well, maybe. Western technology, moreso than western values, has led to the rise of not only China, but dozens of other nations as well. Vaccination, industrialized farming, and other advances have created wealth throughout the world (again, read Factfulness!). It's not as simple as saying China succeeded by industrial espionage, any more than it's simple to say that America succeeded through exploitation of other nations. The technological acceleration of the past two centuries has been widespread, with widespread impacts.

But the "western values" I started with were democracy and free market capitalism. China succeeded without democracy or free market capitalism. Your continued insistence that China is a more violent and brutal state than the western nations only reinforces my initial argument.

During the dotcom bubble thousands of companies were way over valued, where are they now? Mostly gone. Amazon survived and evolved. They actually were the exception. That doesn't mean every company that you can imagine being in a similar boat to amazon is going to end up in the same boat as amazon or even close to it.

Not to mention when the dotcom bubble popped Amazon's stock price took a beating and didn't really surpass its dotcom bubble peak until fall 2009, 9 years later...

Wouldn't publishers rather prefer if people paid for a subscription rather than shoving ads onto them? I think the real issue is that most users are not willing to pay for quality content.

I'm skeptical of that trope also. I remember that stack overflow fizzbuzz post, but I never encountered a interview candidate so bad that they couldn't program fizzbuzz. I've also never been asked to do anything as basic as code a fizzbuzz example in an interview.

Most people seemed to have workable skill levels. A pretty good portion of people seemed to still be in the novelty phase of programming where they would be slightly too excited and surprised at themself, and perhaps slightly unconfident, in answering a fairly basic question correctly.
I find that beyond this, not having a cognitive disconnect in working on the frontend/backend is really nice. And depending on your data tier(s), can even go there (Mongo, Plv8, etc).

Compared to when I'd have to use ActionScript, JavaScript, VBScript, VB6, T-SQL daily... that was sometimes painful... then adding C# and VB.Net to the mix was ugly having to switch from one area of code to another.

> Aren't "co-working" and "nice, quiet place to work" sort of mutually exclusive?

I don't think this has to be true. Why can't people co-work together, quietly? This used to be the case in libraries, before libraries became places where governments administer social services.

It's nice to work around other people, just as long as they are not on phone calls or taking meetings. These people belong in call centers or meeting rooms, so that people who aren’t talking can continue thinking and working.

After giving up on the open office hot desk, I switched to a private office in WeWork. You could hear the music from the hallway. Furthermore, this particular WeWork was situated on top of a beer garden. Every weekend my "private office" most literally started shaking and vibrating as the beer garden turned into a club. I am not exaggerating. It was a joke.

Intel sets out its plans for 2019: Ice Lake, Lakefield, and Project Athena
Abstract: A spreadsheet is remarkably flexible in representing various forms of structured data, but the individual cells have no knowledge of the larger structures of which they may form a part. This can hamper comprehension and increase formula replication, increasing the risk of error on both scores. We explore a novel data model (called the “lish”) that could form an alternative to the traditional grid in a spreadsheet-like environment. Its aim is to capture some of these higher structures while preserving the simplicity that makes a spreadsheet so attractive. It is based on cells organised into nested lists, in each of which the user may optionally employ a template to prototype repeating structures. These template elements can be likened to the marginal “cells” in the borders of a traditional worksheet, but are proper members of the sheet and may themselves contain internal structure. A small demonstration application shows the “lish” in operation.
