I'd be interested in the creator's thoughts on this paper, "Random Search and Reproducibility for Neural Architecture Search", https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.07638, posted on the arxiv last week. Among other conclusions, they find:

"Our results show that random search with early-stopping is a competitive NAS baseline, e.g., it performs at least as well as ENAS, a leading NAS method, on both benchmarks"

ENAS, the specific algorithm that they find does no better than chance, is in this library. My understanding is that the results are pretty generic though, i.e. NAS is very far from a solved problem. (Hyperparameter tuning for "classical" models are another matter. That's commoditized and available as a service at this point, see tpot, DataRobot, etc., etc.)
SEEKING WORK - Remote - Edinburgh, UK

Website: https://rsmith.io

I'm a full-stack web developer with over 7 years' experience, specialising in ReactJS, Python-based backends such as Flask and Pyramid, and SQL relational databases.

I have worked at every level of modern web application stacks: frontend, backend, database, server, deployment. I can quickly get up to speed on new stacks and codebases.

I take care over what I do whilst working pragmatically. I write well-designed code backed up with automated tests, and documentation where relevant. I'm an excellent communicator, easy to work with and maintain a regular blog at: https://rsmith.io/blog.

Zulip | https://zulipchat.com/ | REMOTE or in San Francisco | Senior Mobile Engineer | Full-time | SF

Zulip is the leading 100% free and open source alternative to Slack. Our users love Zulip because of our unique UX with threaded conversations; compared to Slack or its clones, they find discussions in Zulip more productive. See our website for details, or read some Hacker News comment threads filled with Zulip love:

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16863675

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17622987

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18400988

We have a handful of people in the USA, amplified by our enormous and amazing open source contributor community. The entire product is open source; we make money selling hosting on Zulip Cloud as well as commercial support for on-site deployments.

This is an open-source job: all our code is open source and free software. We do our development in the open on GitHub and our own public Zulip instance at chat.zulip.org, and dozens of people contribute code every week from all around the world. You can be anywhere in the world too.

We're primarily looking for an experienced engineer excited about taking our mobile apps to the next level. The ideal candidate has full-stack engineering skills, is experienced at participating in open source communities, has great design sense, gets stuff done, and (if not in SF) has done work remotely before, either professionally or in a major open source project. But ideal candidates may not exist, and we're willing to compromise on some of these things :).

We are also always opportunistically hiring for impressive candidates interested in working on other parts of Zulip (UI/design, infrastructure/scalability, growth, etc.).
It gets a little muddy (there's definitely a train of thought that goes "We don't trust you because we have moral objections so something you've done," witness the boycott of Gillette for their toxic masculinity ad, or of Chik-fil-a for their support of "conversion therapy"), but to a first approximation I agree with your take.

Just bunch of nonsense.
At my last startup, things would have been far less dysfunctional if the leadership team had read (and adopted) this philosophy. When we got backed by Venture funding it basically forced us into rapid scaling that we weren't prepared for and most of the engineering team quit because of mismanagement.

The point about effective managers need to stay out of the details and don't solve their team's problems can't be overstated.
And even if you select for news which might affect a large portion of the world, you run into issues of which stories to present first, which ones to go in-depth on, and other issues of news judgment that any paper or TV station made.

Back in the Old Days, newsrooms were full of people who debated what the news was, in terms of which stories to run, which ones were headlines, and which ones were below the fold on the second page. Those people were, let us be clear, straight White men who either were cis and hetero or were able to fake it well enough to have a professional career. Most of them were Christian, and if you go back far enough in some regions that effectively excludes Catholics.

They were news judgment, in terms of the news sources which mattered. They were the gatekeepers.

So we have different gatekeepers now. This is only deeply disturbing if you thought the gatekeepers never existed, or went away entirely.
I worry about this framing, because it suggests that what I (and many other people who I have spoken to) experience, is somehow atypical. I have no objection to talking to people, and I have groups of friends who I like talking to and engage with well.

They're going out this evening and I'm not. Why? It's not because I don't like them, or because I don't "gel" with them - it's because it's the end of the week, and social interaction is a tiring event for me. I find it nearly impossible to concentrate on other people or what they are saying, and it only becomes more difficult over time.

It's not about practice.

To address your comment on D&D, the reason introverted people are more engaged and outspoken during a game is because that is what the game demands. If you were to ask such a person, they would say it is fun, of course, but tiring - and I know that because I am much the same way when I play D&D.
Places with less-cold, less-mountainous winters get more bio-problems, like a nest of fire ants inside the meter or main breaker panel, or squirrels chewing through the telecom/television/Internet cables.

If you have a closed-loop circulating-water heating system, with the thermal energy produced by a windmill, its pipes are unlikely to freeze, unless the place gets really cold, without wind. The supply and return lines would probably be buried as deeply as is feasible, too.

But yes, hanging an outdoor-rated NM cable between windmill and building, and placing a resistive element inside it, would be cheaper, quieter, and more reliable, even accounting for squirrel mishaps. If you can spare the expense, mineral-insulated cable is a very durable, bio-resistant way to move power.
Note that China is 5 times more populated, so this comparison is not entirely fair.
In terms of scale, these numbers appear to be similar in scale to Uber's quarterly numbers [0] of $2.95B and a loss of $1.07B. (Yes I know I'm off by several hundred million in revenue!)

If you create a new good or or perform a service, you have created new wealth. (building a log cabin created wealth)
wealth is not zero sum.

Even money is not zero sum. Anytime someone creates credit, new money is created and the money supply is expanded. And money is not representation of wealth. It is a unit of account and transfer.
See examples.
Some notes:

- They claim their US ride sharing marketshare is 39% - that seems high to me.

- $800 mil in marketing spend in 2018 from $500 mil in 2017 - they say this increase was largely driven by cost of acquiring new drivers. I honestly thought this would be higher as a % of revenue - this topline number also includes spend on promotions/discounts for passengers.
This myth of "more money than can spend" is pretty pathological.

It's not true. He uses his money to fund space flight initiatives, and many other things besides.

Billionaires use their billions to make more billions. If it was wasted on unproductive spending, the future would be poorer than the present.
Biggest thing I noticed is that the cofounders only own a little more than 1m shares each, which is less than .5% each!

Painful amount of dilution....wow.

> You seem to establish yourself as knowing very little, but then belittle people that might know more than you if they disagree with your rules that you've just made up.

Yeah, that "you probably have a long way to go in your UX journey" comment irked me when I read it. I'm glad it's not just me who found it patronising.

Your point about feature discovery is a good one that the article didn't address. It's all well and good hiding less used 'expert' features, but all experts were once novices.
More like a desperately needed precedent.
Why not just prevent the use of timestamps on videos that contain children?

Why not say "you cannot view this video if you are over 18" unless the watcher is specifically added to a list of allowed viewers?

Why not require the watcher to enable a webcam & mic while watching videos containing children and create an algorithm to detect wanking?

There are lots of solutions.

It's a little like GoDaddy, or Facebook.

W3schools were so bad, essentially just a click farm promoting any old crap for the pageview, that it'll take a huge amount of correcting, improving, and newly found ethical standards to let me forgive them. Or forget there really was a need for w3fools. They always gave lots of examples, and they were often simply wrong.

Even when they apparently have the answer, until I can validate it on SO or some other place, I'll tend to not trusting...
Have you ever tried Grammarly? I see them advertise on Hulu, not sure if its any good.
How is this a responsible position from a company? They are the ones keeping the employees in the dark, withholding crucial information that their very livelihoods are on borrowed time.

That's not crossing a line for you, is it? People on working visas have a set period to find the job and they need to send their applications in advance to stand a better chance of finding one.

It makes for a good story if you were the one who saved the day with 11-th hour heroism, but from an unbiased observer's perspective the management had failed a long time ago.

People often invoke "the company is family" trope to promote loyalty, but imagine that if you got married and then you suddenly found out that your spouse had high six-figure debts or that they were terminally ill. Relationships built on keeping your partner in the dark about things as serious as those are dysfunctional.

People are taking advantage of human kindness, an employee with no significant stake should not be the martyr looking for a sword to fall on.
In addition to the ethics, I'd be very concerned about being a customer of Revolut in the future.

Once they stop buying market share, this attitude toward others is likely to apply to their customers as well.
We got a regular trickle of three to ten orders per month for about three years, until the rally to 5-digits broke the system because transaction costs started to surpass our order values.

...which was excellent, because we had forgotten the entire system even existed. We had accrued a few hundred orders in the $80 range, many paid at exchange rates < $100.
alert() is very handy to learn, as it gives the new commer something tangible and familiar to use for tests.

You just have to give proper context.
Agreed. Github repo would be nice if available. I certainly understand if it's not though. Not certain I'd be so quick to put all my source code out there either.
|Employees are all exploited by their employers, who steal most of the value created which they had little to no hand in.

I'm sorry, but this is bog-standard communist clap-trap. Even if you don't like the current arrangement, the use of the word steal is absurd. Individual wealth, regardless of which income quintile you're in, has risen exponentially since the industrial revolution. There's lots of room for criticism of the world as it stands (crony capitalism and printing a sea of money being favorites of mine), but words like exploit and steal are crazy. And to say that an employer had little hand in the value of the products created is just silly. Even if we ignore everything else, you can't just disregard the massive capital expenses that go into building the infrastructure to make an iPhone. Somebody had to come up with that money to even make the company possible, long before the profits started rolling in.

I've had the dubious pleasure of working for companies that were posting little or no profit vs others that were making lots of money. Personally, I'd be happy to be 'exploited' by the wages Apple pays.
Might be a conscious choice?
How do you test the accuracy of your tokenizer? Is there a database of ground-truth tokenized sentences that you evaluate on? It would be nice to see some kind of benchmark results comparing with MeCab.
SEEKING WORK - London, UK - Remote preferred, happy to visit you anywhere in the UK.

DevOps / Python consultant with a decade's experience building, hosting and fixing applications.

I work with engineering teams to make their products as scalable and robust as possible. AWS, Kubernetes, load testing, lambdas, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it.

Recent projects include:

+ Re-hosting a large microservice node.js + RethinkDB web application on Google Cloud. The resulting stack (serving a busy news site) is deployed to GKE with a set of Helm charts and a minimal amount of custom tooling for CDN & image serving. GKE has turned out to be low-maintenance and rock solid; I'll be glad to work with it again.

+ Rewriting a Python big data stack for a bioscience client. Result was a robust, scalable system deployed with Terraform/Docker to spot instances managed by AWS Batch. Benefits included better resilience, higher resource utilisation and vastly reduced cost/processing time.

+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Updated a sprawling Django/Postgres app to fit modern containerised hosting, resulting in a stack that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Templating via Helm for multiple, namespaced stack instances & continuous integration.

+ Another AWS/k8s/Docker stack, this time with a persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring.

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated crypto trading. Didn't get rich, still posting on here.

The author removed all functionality they don't use. I could do the same with Photoshop and end up with a tool that nobody wants.

As a personal note, the author removed the Projects tab, which is the reason I moved back to GitHub from Bitbucket.
