It clearly must not be a dramatic effect, as the plane must have left the jet stream in order to land :)
Last year, I believe only one team even _tried_ an ML snake and they didn't make enough progress to actually compete. "Hand coding," so far, has been the way to go.

Not sure if it's what you meant, but it's less "hand coding" and more about trying to enumerate board-state possibilities (i.e. "I'm hungry" or "there's a snake at x") and addressing them via generalized algorithms.
That seems like something you bring up with him to discuss if there's a way to avoid it; and then tape the whole discussion.

>To discuss this subject we start in the middle. We suppose that we already know what integers are, what zero is, and what it means to increase a number by one unit. You may say, “That is not in the middle!” But it is the middle from a mathematical standpoint, because we could go even further back and describe the theory of sets in order to derive some of these properties of integers. But we are not going in that direction, the direction of mathematical philosophy and mathematical logic, but rather in the other direction, from the assumption that we know what integers are and we know how to count. ...

Sure, but that's just you. Personally, I definitely support people electing to do experimental treatments on themselves, as long as there's sufficient oversight. Especially people who are close to dying anyways (e.g. maybe not at 35, maybe yes at 95).

Not sure what you're getting at with transfusion vs. circulatory system... I see 3 options: (1) works in mice but not in humans, (2) works in humans with just blood, (3) works in humans but needs more than blood (either whole "young circulatory system" or just parts of it, e.g. hormones etc.). So, you might be willing to experiment that (2) holds.

I mean, if you're opposed to this, if you're certain it's immoral, wouldn't you also be opposed to any trials as well? After all, this is similar to a trial... Sure, it doesn't have as much value to the society, as it's not blind randomized, but it might still have tremendous value to an individual.
The author talks about the importance of tunnel warfare.

About halfway between Dallas and Austin is Ft. Hood, the Army’s largest base. After WWII, so only a few years after it had been set up in the first place, the Army dynamited a series of caves in the very sparse western section of the base to carve out a massive underground structure for nuclear weapons.

The Army doesn’t use / maintain nuclear weapons anymore, but the bunker has been repurposed into a basically one-of-a-kind underground training environment. Units from all over the world train there. Pretty cool stuff.

> Tom Peters, the management guru and co-author of “In Search of Excellence,” said that during his time as a McKinsey partner in the late 1970s, managers rejected the notion of having financial stakes in their clients.

> “You can’t be advising people and have a fiduciary interest in the people you’re advising,” Mr. Peters said in an interview.

That's weird, though, in a sense. Wouldn't you want the people consulting you to have a stake in your company? Wouldn't that "align incentives"? Shouldn't you pay the consultants in shares that vest over the next 5 years?
I find that more often than not just going for the high match percentage content is a pleasant enough experience. I think if I relied upon other people's reviews (a la Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic) I would have missed out on a lot of stuff that I genuinely liked that others widely panned.

Tracking at the microlevel is horrible. The time wasted keeping up and the padding in explainable areas to offset the undocumented task like pick up phone, talk to coworker, get water, go to bathroom, answer question.

GPS measurements are comprised of a 2D surface coordinate system (e.g. lat/long) and an altitude above mean sea level. So, "speed" as measured by GPS is speed along the Earth's surface.

Hah, yeah they did. I had them open when I typed up that comment. I guess that argument is moot now.
I'd be really interested to know ( I was going to do a Ask HN ) on who has to track their time at work, how big the company is you work for, what detail do you track to and whether you think it's useful and if so, how is it useful?.

I personally work in a semi small product based company and we don't track time, but we have a few "point in time goals" where we need to get a solution sorted by a specific date.

I started with extreme programming in 2000 and used to use the planning ideas and velocity indicators, which is okish, but kind of a blunt tool. However the real mechanism to deal with problems is scope management. So now I just work on the idea of continuous focusing on goals and scope management of those goals. This works pretty well in a small team and time frames that are not too long (2 - 3 months).

However a lot of our development is purely feature based, which is often not time critical, but are scope managed to what I'd call "worthwhile" increments

So instead of worrying about time, my emphasis is goals/focus, feedback on progress and scope management. This tends to lead to good time outcomes.

What we can say statistically is that, if there was no intention behind this object's trajectory, then it is more likely to have come from a nearby system. We can even say how much more likely.

In fact, an argument that it's more likely to have come from somewhere nearby holds even if it was sent by design. Conscious beings are more likely to want to explore the stuff they can reach sooner, and they are more likely to succeed at reaching nearby things. But without knowing their engineering constraints and their preferences, we can't quantify that like we can the random ejection scenario.

If there's a trend that's affecting the industry as whole, and if most places are abusing that trend, then it's worth looking at the trend to see what's going not. It's not very helpful to say what you're saying when statistics speak otherwise. It's very lazy to say "it's an implementation problem" and is not giving the question enough thought.

How to Build a Compiler by James Kyle (2016) [video]
I don't actually want to do any of those things. There's dozens of ideas to work on and I want to work on some of them.

Working double the hours more than doubles my income, which is nice, as I can do things like have a nice dinner or bring my kids to Disneyland.

But I do enjoy the things I work on, and I don't enjoy the period where I'm idling in preparation for the thing I intend to do. It sounds a little strange, but it's a lot like flipping through channels on Netflix before actually watching any shows.
I'd be legit on board with that, I really just want a stable identifier that's independent of routing information or network or whatever.

Allow H1B holders to incorporate their own companies in the US, so that they could work on their own thing in parallel.

Why Blog? – Looking for Environmental Advocates
Why is there so much focus on just the language generation aspect of this model? The language generation examples are to show how well the model generalized the language it's trained on, but the whole point of releasing the pretrained model is that this model also:

>achieves state-of-the-art performance on many language modeling benchmarks, and performs rudimentary reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarization — all without task-specific training

Every comment I see here and else where is strictly about automatically generating comments, but the real loss of having this model kept private is that it would allow anyone to create very, very good NLP projects right away.

The big problem in ML/"AI" now and going forward is that there is an extreme asymmetry emerging in tech. The start of the last major tech boom was because of "disruption". Any clever hacker with a laptop and developer skills could create a product that would topple a giant. Likewise anyone could learn to do anything that needed to be done on their own computer in their own time. Now that's changing, to even play with these new tools you need special access and corporate support.

Releasing the pretrained model to the public would allow a range of groups that cannot afford to build a model such as this to experiment on their own and achieve state of the art NLP results, not just in language generation but in classification, translation, summarization etc. Some kid in the middle of know where could download this and start messing with ideas about building a chat bot.

The threat is not that some rogue actor will create evil spam bots, but that some small scrappy startup would leverage the same, currently exclusive tools, of large technology companies.

The reason why democratizing AI is important is not because we can better fight off some vague threat, but so that, at least for the near term, individuals and small groups can still reasonably compete with major players in the ML space. And of course the fact that someone who claims openness and that they exist to "ensure AGI's benefits are as widely and evenly distributed as possible." Can arbitrarily choose not to do go the other direction just shows that tech is moving in a direction where "disruption" is going to become increasingly less possible, and the future of the industry is going to be controlled by a handful of major players.
For example, bismuth crystals grow in an interesting way and, like h20 are less dense as a solid than a liquid.

The fact that they've done this for multiple other products built on FOSS projects is a pretty good indicator it can happen.

Aurora is a good example that's explicitly marketed that it's a different core storage engine, but they definitely make many modifications to the projects they're building on top of, but what kinds of changes really varies.
My recommendation is to NEVER leave negative feedback on an employee survey. The BEST outcome I've seen from them is incredibly painful meetings that only seem to make the matter worse.

My speculation on this is two fold. The first is that putting things in those surveys is a "permanent record" or at least "yearly review" issue for your manager. So you are (justly or not) harming them, and they will tend to respond to being harmed. The other is that, if you think about it... if your manager is not a person who you can talk to about a problem in a non-anonymous way... doing it anonymously is not likely to help, it's probably better to just quietly leave.
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
I'm not entirely sure that a scoreboard would help. I play a lot of CS:GO matches where people are playing for the scoreboard rather than playing for the team. Statistics can never perfectly capture the contribution a player makes.

Scoreboards can also give people license to be toxic. If you're on the losing team in CS:GO, it's pretty common for the top fragger to start cussing out the rest of the team as noobs, even if that player is greedily hunting frags and the other players are making a useful tactical contribution.

These companies are intentionally walking a careful line of spending a ton of money to create a market-leading product and to capture as much of the market as possible early on. They could easily be cash-flow positive and take on less investment, but it's also very possible that competing products or service providers will overtake them or become dominant in the market they are trying to establish for themselves.

So you don't want to miss out on the opportunity to be the big fish in your pond (you may be unable to keep making money in the long term if you aren't the market leader), but you don't want to grow your costs so fast that you can never catch up.

That's the balancing act being played. And your early-stage investors who have lots of control will push hard to play it aggressively in later stages, because they want to make huge returns. And when there are people out there willing to give you tens of millions of dollars and by extension several years more guaranteed life of your company without you having to do the hard work to hammer out actual profit anytime soon, it's going to be hard if not impossible to turn down.

I would expect the jet stream not to end abruptly, but there is likely a gradient you have to cross before reaching "still" air. When leaving the stream, airspeed will increase, because of inertia, and so will drag. This will quickly bring the plane back to its cruising speed.

I had a debate with a friend on this one the other day, but I am pretty sure something like 80% of the engine power is there to combat drag, which increases with v² (if you discount lift from that, otherwise it' obviously 100%).

Washington is an "at will" employment state. You can be treated poorly and fired for any reason unless it is for a protected class(race, sex etc). Amazon and his manager could have fired him because they put a bunch of names on a dart board and his was the one hit.

I do think the treatment was incredibly unfair and unjust. Unfortunately, in "at will" employment states in the US, this appears to be perfectly legal behavior. As shameful as that may be.

I mostly agree but I want to nitpick.

One of the areas I've heard should be improving with 5G is latency. On 4G we're talking O(10ms)? which on 5G, so says the marketing, should be O(1ms). If this is true, it will make a noticeable impact on the responsiveness of web driven apps (aka almost all apps) as well as video/audio chat liveness. Was this oversold to me (highly probable)?

Re: Number 2: This is a common pattern in all big American companies. Hire an H1B, make the employee an indentured slave forever. H1B employées born in India and China have to wait 10+ years for a green card to break free from indentured servitude. While you can switch jobs on an H1B, it's risky and if it screws up, your queue position gets reset.

This is a super interesting question to us, and to be honest we're not sure of the answer. Is it possible for a single ML snake to achieve 100% 1v1 win rate? What about 1v7?

What we've learned so far is that playing against multiple snakes, especially AI/ML driven snakes, adds an incredible amount of complexity to the game and the top ranked snakes tend switch around quite a bit as players adjust to attack/defend specific strategies.

If anyone has formal theory around this sort of problem, we'd love to investigate further.

Maine more interesting? Maine is mostly white. California is far far more racially diverse and the cuisine is a result of a large number of immigrants and cultures mixing.

From a variety standpoint there’s no way Maine compares.
