I once bought a new 1TB Drive when they were fairly new. MOVED about 500gb if data to the new drive. Checked it. Seemed fine. Turned computer off and went to bed.

We’ve been living with guns for centuries, we’ve been living with drones for decades, and only the last decade saw them in the hands of many people. I suspect the current “Wild West” of drones is a temporary phenomenon.
Not quite.

Unsupervised learning implies that there are no human-annotated labels whatsoever (in this context, meaning that the model had no paired translations at all).

Zero-shot learning (usually) means that the model can generalize learning from seen labels to unseen labels.

That being said, conceptually I guess there could be an "unsupervised zero-shot learning" model - say, a language model that learns word embeddings from English wikipedia, and trying to use those embeddings to generate French sentences. My guess is that it simply doesn't work.
This is true of names and borders, but the cities themselves remain where they are even when names and borders change, so they're more persistent than countries.
Babel (specifically, babel-preset-env, which I assume you're referring to) only ensures that your code's syntax can run within a given browser. It doesn't make sure all the web APIs and browser features you take advantage of are compatible, or that they produce the same result.

> Who is paying 200,000 for college?

I too am very interested in the answer to this question. if you're spending that much and not going to a top 30 school, you're a chump. if you are going to a truly elite school, you're not paying anything close to the sticker price unless your parents are quite well off.

I'm not saying college isn't unreasonably expensive these days, but I often see this number for undergrad and I always wonder where the hell it came from.
On the Mac, Safari is far more power efficient. With each update I notice Firefox is using more and more ram too. Also good luck finding out which tab is causing problems.
yes, I was peripherally involved with that world, and fundamentally there was a disinterest in the users prior to the Russian takeover - and with the Russian takeover, it was clear that things weren't okay anymore.
To answer my one and only question:

"Revolut Ltd is a UK financial technology company that offers banking services including a pre-paid debit card, currency exchange, cryptocurrency exchange and peer-to-peer payments."

And founded by two Russians.

Yes, yes, yes, and more yes. That's the cause that needs treating. Apologies if I wasn't clear, that's definitely where I think the regulation should be looking towards.

> The salaries are low by western standards. I tripled my income coming back to the UK.

This is true. Maybe not three times lower, but salaries are lower comparing to UK/US.

> The work culture is shitty. Long hours are routine. Developers are cogs in the machine. The boss is always right. You need to do things by the book.

True. The last sentence applies mostly to local companies.

> There's a hard class distinction between "worker bees" (includes developers) and "managers".

As everywhere else.

> Those managers were typically clueless about tech, also, which made interviewing a crapshoot.

Disagree. Share of incompetent managers is close to share of incompetent developers. Hiring a skilled, knowledgeable, self-organised developer is very hard. Source: I am a manager :)

My wife was like this, staying at a job with a dipshit boss. I told her to quit because we could live on my income but she refused. She brought her stress home and it impacted our marriage for the worse. If I could go back in time I would work harder to convince her to quit.

When Google innovates, it’s usually in a vein attempt to kill competitors in a place where it sees an opportunity for more revenue. Competition from Google is hardly ever fair (despite most of their projects being spectacular failures regardless.)

So no it’s not impossible, but it’s always gonna happen when it’s Google/Amazon and the “innovation” is a free alternative to a successful independent business.
LJ had a much more pleasant culture in terms of interacting with strangers. I'd call that an artifact of the number of weirdos, along with the pre-Eternal September Internet world in general. The text orientation also helped. There were also a lot of highly knowledgeable people: professors and the like.

AMD's hardware is stupid-good from a compute perspective. Vega64 is $399, but renders Blender (on AMDGPU-PRO drivers) incredibly fast, like 2080 or 1080 Ti level. That's basically the main use case I bought a Vega for (which is why I'm very disappointed in ROCm's current bug which breaks Blender)

If you really can use those 500GB/s HBM2 stacks + 10+ TFlops of power, the Vega is absolutely a monster, at far cheaper prices than the 2080.

I really wonder why video games FPS numbers are so much better on NVidia. The compute power is clearly there, but it just doesn't show in FPS tests.

---

Anyway, my custom code tests are to try and build a custom constraint-solver for a particular game AI I'm writing. Constraint solvers share similarities to Relational Databases (in particular: the relational join operator) which has been accelerated on GPUs before.

So I too am a bit fortunate that my specific use cases actually enable me to try ROCm. But any "popular" thing (Deep Learning, Matrix Multiplications, etc. etc.) benefits so heavily from CUDA's ecosystem that its hard to say no to NVidia these days. CUDA is just more mature, with more libraries that help the programmer.

AMD's system is still "some assembly required", especially if you run into a compiler bug or care about performance... (gotta study up on that Vega ISA...) And unfortunately, GPU Assembly language is a fair bit more mysterious than CPU Assembly Language. But I expect any decent low-level programmer to figure it out eventually...

Why couldn't you just say you worked at 2 places and not 4? Do people really check that sort of thing? Or omit 3 and say you ran your own business for those 3 years. If employer is too dumb to understand your reasons, a little truth bending wouldn't hurt.

Not asking anything :)

Just noting that it's a financial services company founded (run?) by two Russians, and, reading through the Wikipedia article, with some parts facilitated by a Lithuanian bank. Taken individually, not really that noteworthy, but I'd be wary of doing any business with such a setup.
Australia requires companies to provide backdoors. It does not (and can't) require that non-companies do the same. This means every Jihadi with half a brain will be using XMPP with OTR or something like that.

At the same time, it provides a requirement for EMPLOYEES to make backdoors when asked without letting their employers know.
It's still a first version (as a solo dev, it's a bit faster to release on one platform first) but Android is definitely on the roadmap for this year. :)
IMHO, it depends, I assume they mention about NDB Cluster not InnoDB Cluster. If their query using very less normalization, me myself also would choose MySQL Cluster instead.. their concept of auto partition + auto sharding did improve compare to other RDBMS. Plus I believe they should really understood the benefit of Index Condition Pushdown concept which really help a lot on complex query. Just remark, im not from MySQL but already tested several POC comparison on both DB, still MySQL Cluster did stand out a bit yet like i said depends on your transaction design back

After the big dump of new features in ES2015, I don't find the pace of planned updates to the language aggressive at all. JavaScript is still playing catch up.

People will complain if they don't add features. When they do add new features, people complain that they're "bloating" the language or moving too fast. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

The JS ecosystem is a different matter.
Sometimes browsers change for the worse too.

the idea is that if there's a late auditable solution, then today's methods of doing it on the down low become distasteful.

they're gonna do it regardless, but the politicians may agree to forcing them down a process that is publicly auditable in the long run...

basically if late auditability makes it possible for them to do their jobs, then the basis for today's sketchy down low approach is ameliorated.

I don’t understand why you got voted down.

I don’t have the enthusiasm for Java I did 20 years ago (the alternate for employment in Sacramento was largely C++ back then, mind you), but I think what you said is accurate.

- My mail setup uses NMH, everything is automated. I can mime-encode a directory and send the resulting mail in a breeze.

- GF's photos from IG are being backed up with a python script and crontab. Non IG ones are geotagged too with a script. I just fire up some cli GPS tools if we hike some mountain route, and gpscorrelate runs on the GPX file.

- Music is almost everything chiptunes, I felt interesent on any mainstream music since 2003-4. I mirror a site with wget and it's done. If they offered rsync...

- Hell, even my podcasts are being fetch via cron(8).

- My setup is CWM/cli based, except for mpv, emulators, links+ and vimb for JS needed sites. Noice is my fm, or the pure shell. find(1) and mpg123/xmp generate my music playlist. Street View is maybe the only service I use on vimb...

The more you automate, the less tasks you need to do. I am starting to avoid even taskwarrior/timew, because I am almost task free as I don't have to track a trivial <5m script, and spt https://github.com/pickfire/spt is everything I need.

Also, now I can't stand any classical desktop, I find bloat on everything.

> and I don't like Firefox's UI/UX

Maybe I'm not as critical about the UI, but I have both browsers open at the same time so I took a second to compare them.

Both browsers have a row of tabs. Below that is a second row. The left most set of buttons is navigation (back, forward, refresh, etc), then the address bar, then on the very right of the row is a set of buttons for extensions, settings, etc. The remaining portion of the window is the webpage. I'm just not seeing many differences. The view of recently downloads is different, but nothing that bothers me from either one.

I also just compared how both browsers displayed HN main page. Slight differences in color of orange and font weight, but only noticeable if comparing both directly (and besides devs, who does that?).

So I guess I'm asking what about the UI/UX is bothering you. I'm almost hesitant to ask because I'm sure if you point something out that bugs me, I'll never un-see it.
> There've been many rumors over the years that Unroll.me sells information about the emails it scans.

It's not just rumors, it's stated clearly (if in softened terms) on the site now[1]. Although it wasn't for the first few years, as their original monetization model wasn't based on it.

The big stink about it was that they shifted to that model silently. The original founder only monetized it in a straightforward manner via ads in the app. Then it was sold to Slice/Rakuten, and they silently incorporated it as part of Slice's consumer intelligence data, along with data from other subsidiaries they bought such as Ebates.

Small aside: Rakuten also has a major stake in Acorn[2]. Acorn uses Plaid to verify bank account information for payouts. Plaid[3] is incredibly handy from a consumer experience, but the implications are scary from an "alternative use" perspective. Once connected, there are several handy Plaid products[4] which can make use of that authorization, above and beyond just confirming account ownership. Such as continuously siphoning off transaction level records or keeping tabs on income and employment fluctuations[5].

Not that Rakuten is leveraging their stake in Acorn to access Acorn's bank authorization for those ulterior uses. But it's food for thought on what possibilities exist.

> I think it's even more telling of the "trade data for service" paradigm that people continue to use the service even after finding out
