Hmm... I'm not sure I fully agree. Fundamentally, an ill-posed problem maps a large input space to a very small output space, which means that inverting it is impossible under any noise (in a very similar way to, say, the Nyquist-Shannon theorem)—unless you know something more about the noise (e.g., concentration phenomena in differential privacy) or the underlying signal (e.g., sparsity in compressed sensing), or you don't mind the noise in the parameters so long as the output signal is well-represented by your parameters (generally anything in ML).

A ton of these cases which are "usually" ill-posed, as in compressed sensing, physical design, etc., have some more structure which is encoded as regularizers or priors. For example, in compressed sensing, we know the input signal is sparse, so even though we have far less samples than the Nyquist rate would require, we know something else about the input signal, usually encoded as an l1-regularizer or other kind of sparsifying regularizer, making the resulting optimization problem well-posed.

That being said, I'm not sure how this immediately plays into (b). My claim is that you're pretty much hosed unless you increase the general precision/range of the algorithm, which is independent of the noise in the input, but rather depends on the actual implementation of the algorithm and the atoms the algorithm uses (sums, multiplications, etc., of two floating point numbers, for example). The case being that you have to increase the precision of the atoms which the algorithm uses (e.g., like in the article, switching to arbitrary-precision fractions when sums of large numbers are needed).

---

NOTE: I guess more generally, I'm defining ill-conditioning/numerical instability as a problem with the algorithm in the sense that, for a fixed input precision, perfect arithmetic (the "correct" result) will differ heavily from the result with truncated arithmetic (with floats, or whatever it may be).

I was in the OCI group, left just over a year ago, and just heard from a couple of my old colleagues that they were just let go. Unreal since our group was one of the few really really profitable ones.

I agree with the comments about the quality of people in OCI, it was a big step up from the first pass with the PSM group. Much more of the move-fast and do things right kind of mentality and a lot of hires of people with real scale experience trying to do it better the next time. I hope everyone affected can find better jobs.
In general search can be machine learning. Google certainly uses machine learning as part of it's ranking.

I guess you can make the argument that even tf-idf as described in the article is a form of unsupervised machine learning because you obtain ("learn") the idf from the data.

Smaller fish have negligible quantities of mercury and other pollutants, due to their short lifespan not allowing for bioaccumulation, as well as being much lower on the food chain. Herring, Anchovies, Smelt, Sardines, and even Mackerel or Trout, are all are excellent sources of EPA/DHA, and without any of the risks of larger fish.

Can't identify the background trees at this low resolution, but there is a small Fabaceae tree in the photo that looks like either Robinia pseudoacacia or Sophora. This trees have heavy seeds that do not go very far. Some bigger trees from one of this species could probably be seen near this area. Maybe in the streets (or in a garden).

> life is famously solitary

Wild humans were probably social. For comparison, Chimpanzee and Bonobos are social, they live in small groups. The next human relative is Gorilla, that are social too. Orangutans too. I don't know how far we must go to find a solitary relative of humans.

(Note that all of them have very different sexual behavior.)

> [nature] doesn't want us to vaccinate

I don't know a natural example in other animal, but I'd not be surprised if there are any. There were some trick to get a natural vaccination before there were good vaccines. Just wait until there is a year with a mild version, and try to get your kids infected, so the year with a strong version they will be already immunized. (Like a "chickenpox party" that is a very stupid idea now that there are good vaccines.) For example see the early methods to get smallpox immunity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variolation

"The creepy part is that this section in wiki teaches you to simulate feelings you don't actually have in order to get laid and this directly contradicts the earlier section about being genuine.

The bleak part is that if you need to simulate attraction to a woman you are missing something very good in your life."

Did you read the same part as I?

" the most important thing in any kind of relationship is honesty. In regards to seduction it is being honest with your intentions."

And the part about eye contact is not about simulating feelings, it is about what to focus for (those who are insecure), if you want to to get in deeper contact.

Great explanation and detail. If one faces a badly conditioned problem, one must think about the error inherent to the inputs. Anything measured from real sensors is already corrupted by that perturbation matrix. Even in some perfect scenario like a model generated by CAD, the corresponding physical object is not going to match.

Numerical stability feels like this black art that programmers are scared of, but I maybe it's less scary if you explain the core problem: nothing in the world is a real number, it's always a probability distribution.
> ... risk is higher. They need to match the market's risk adjusted returns, so they need a higher return to balance out the higher risk.

Risk of what? The greater fall in property values in the 2008 crash proved higher capital risk, and low-income tenants may be more likely to damage the building -- but the two kinds of risk lie on opposite ends of the scales of time and space.

Your first point may be worth taking, but I'm not sure why you say he's failed in education. The problems with education are systemic and intractable. He isn't taking an approach that attempts an overnight fix. He's taking a long-view with initiatives that attempt to slowly push the needle in the opposite direction. In the short term maybe that seems like failure because money is spent without an easily measure impact, but that is a very short-term view. I've seen first hand the benefits that some of his grants have had in this area, and that hard-won knowledge will take time to build upon and get worked into the broader world of education. It's akin to basic science in this respect.

Edit: Example. In 2010 he gave $3.5 million to charter schools in Newark, NJ. This has contributed to overall increase in success rates in such schools, which has boosted the entire city's graduation rates. They've increased significantly each year since 2013, which is about the first year you'd expect to see the results of such a grant on 4-year programs like HS.
> If you need a manual on maintaining eye contact, you probably just want to have sex with somebody, if not with this woman, than with another one.

Or your path through life didn't teach you prevailing mating rituals. That "it comes natural" narrative is bullshit. Sure, will be the case most of the time. But, you know, human experiences are on a wide spectrum, with many of them fucked up in some way or another. And thus a lot of people can greatly benefit from finding help to improve themselves and thus their mental health. I'd generally consider this a good thing. Especially on such an important topics as finding a significant other.

It's great you apparently naturally learned communication protocols regarding flirting / body language / etc. And yes, PUA stuff can quickly become toxic and not be to the benefit of all involved. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. And you implying everyone who isn't a natural or wants to get better must be "simulating feelings" is just... disappointing.

How to Sustain Bitcoin Without Fees or Inflation
It's 50GB now. I've been digging into how they do it as I'm a casual user of a few hundred GB/mo on both T-Mobile and Sprint.

From what I can see and from the Sprint CTO's comments, the deprioritization happens on radio layer working on slices of around 30ms. If you are near cell edge, the scheduler will assign you less physical resource blocks. This deprioritization will affect you much less if you are near the tower as higher orders of modulation and less error correction plays into it. (Think out of a possible 100 or so blocks you could be assigned in a given timeframe, the blocks can either be slow due to poor radio conditions or fast)

From my year or so of having a dedicated testing phone on T-Mobile, I can feel confident in saying what they say is true about speeds only being affected on congested sectors (not the full tower or region). Sprint I haven't had as much time with so I can only go with what they say is the case.

Serviced Apartments Are Better Than Staying in a Hotel – LetsDiskuss
It’s not the inequality of capital ownership that is the problem. It’s the inequality of land ownership (specifically zoned housing capacity). A few thousand hundred-millionaires hardly hurt people any more than a few thousand millionaires. But a few million middle-class homeowners hurts when they are not allowed to share their land with the landless. So the most worrysome inequality is the numbers of landed vs. landless, not millionaires vs. ten millionaires or hundred millionaires.

This is basically the cable TV model for the modern age, no?
To me, the clear indication that they're serious about this transition to services will be making them available on third-party devices. Android has ~55% market share in the US, and >80% globally. Roku has 35% of the smart TV market (through both their dedicated devices and TV integrations), Apple has ~15%.

A video streaming service that's only available on iOS and Apple TV will be inevitably niche, and no real competition for Netflix. This also means they will likely have to pay a premium for content (and a _much_ larger amount per user) as creators will prefer to be on platforms where more people will see their work.

But ultimately, supporting Android and 3rd party streaming devices goes against Apple's DNA. Apple still sees itself as a hardware company, and software and services exist to give people reasons to buy their hardware.
> wildly unrealistic for people that are not billionaires.

Bullshit. Someone with an invested net worth of $10M exclusive of home value can generate an income of $300k using a conservative safe withdrawal rate of 3%. Anyone making $300k as an individual with a paid off home has more than enough money to be comfortable anywhere in the country, with no real need to invest further. $10M net worth is a large, but not absurd amount, but even if my numbers were somehow off by an order of magnitude, we’re far from billionaire territory.
Some institutions won't pay for others. In our space, big non-profit science institutions like Janelia and Allen Brain foot the bill for making the data available. Depending on the utility of the data, Amazon (https://aws.amazon.com/opendata/public-datasets/) or Google (https://cloud.google.com/public-datasets/) could also handle the cost of storing and distributing the data.

With versioned data, you could leverage the largesse of the big institutions to provide the base data, and then only the deltas for the children versions need be handled by users making changes.
How Dali’s migrant community formed, is unique, and why it’s important to China
Three things would have prevented streaming from gaining in popularity:

- Slow Internet speeds. This has changed.

- Cable bills not increasing. If cable was cheap no one would care about Netflix. But when it gets around $200/month most people start questioning why they need cable TV. I did and changed my plan to Internet only, and have not regretted it. Cable TV is garbage and it's cheaper to pay $10/month for HBO GO or STARZ rather than have to have a $75, $80, $100 specific cable package and then pay $10 to get it on your cable box. OTA TV has improved and is a lot better than it used to be, at least where I live.

- Netflix and other services not being available on practically anything with a screen and CPU. I think most people who watch Netflix on a computer are broke college students with no other choice or doing so at work, but most are using their smart TV, Roku, game console, or other similar devices.

The p in prepl stands for programmable or programs, as in, for programs. If you open up a socket REPL you can connect to it and send code + receive results but they're printed without any structure. String goes in and string comes out.

We were supposed to have annihilated all of human life in a nuclear firestorm. But somehow we did manage to survive. Sure, the Great Firewall and China's potent surveillance system does alarm me greatly. But as long as the people who create these technologies also work in a society which places responsible limitations on their use, we might just be able to get to being an interplanetary species at some point.

Once humanity becomes capable of living and thriving in different planets/outer space without the mother planet is when things will start getting really interesting.
That's a nice thought but doesn't balance well with the $1 trillion debt to China that US themselves have. Almost as if the US doesn't want other countries to prosper using Chinese money. Goes well with the America First slogan.

To be clear, I'm not saying that the Chinese money doesn't come with baggage. However I think it's ridiculous to believe that the US is on some altruistic lookout for others here, as opposed to just being interested in maximising US benefits.
Yes... it perfectly reasonable to make claims that even the supplier of your HW refutes. Really says a lot about your willingness to say whatever it takes to get more PR and push a few more sales.

In the meantime Tesla is the only company with autonomous driving driver fatalities. Multiple. Unless you’re going to claim Tesla buyers are more predisposed to... laziness and inability to process information, then something is definitely wrong in the way the system is presented. Something other manufacturers and all their buyers get right. Mostly all others insist overpromising and underdelivering can be dangerous.
TF-IDF is a feature extracted from the data, much like a simple count of words, but it is not learned. It is simply computed. An example of learned features are word embeddings where it is necessary to train on data to obtain them.

Agree about some of the inconsistency, especially in preferences. It really feels like creaking around old corners of the 20+ year old UI it is. Microsoft needs to work on that. Also swipe-typing on the keyboard doesn't work in all apps (notably, Chrome).

But some of these interface issues are just hard. How do you make the same interface work well when you're using your finger on a small tablet vs using a trackpad/mouse connected to big monitor?

Overall I really enjoy my Go. It's great as a tablet for tablet things, and if you want to do computery things like use an Office suite, snap on a keyboard or plug it into a monitor and it works fine there too. Using Office for very long with touch is not something I'd want to do even if the UI for it was perfect so it seems like a strange complaint to me.
