My two cents:

1) It should attempt to detect location and display that to the user.

2) You can save locations but, these are lost on refresh.

3) No way to specify Celsius.

4) It's not a very simple service. I should be able to bookmark this and click on the link to view the weather. Instead, I need to type a location every time. Right now, I just have a bookmark to "https://www.google.com/search?q=weather".
Would someone mind explaining how ML models are used in the real world? In this case Lyft has users, trips, points of interest (destinations). What would they create a model for? How would it improve driver/rider experience?

I've gone through a few TensorFlow tutorials, but still can't grok what the appropriate use-case is.

Edit: I really appreciate the responses @tedsanders and @theossuary - thank you so much! Not sure what the etiquette is other than upvoting you!

It's an interesting point of view, for sure.

> There are cases of non-neural computer vision algorithms based on Bayesian inference principles,22 though it has been challenging to develop such models that can be trained as easily as deep learning networks.

Maybe. The paper he cites, "Human-level concept learning through probabilistic program induction," has like "On a challenging one-shot classification task, the model achieves human-level performance while outperforming recent deep learning approaches" right in its abstract. One shot sounds like exactly the meaning of easy to train.

Maybe he meant accelerated training, but that kind of gets to the core of what's flawed about this analysis. There's no economic incentive to build specialized, accelerated hardware for one of Tenenbaum's research projects, until there is. There's enormous economic incentive to build video cards for games, which is what all those deep learning advances were predicated on, and it remains to be seen if there's any economic incentive for TPUs or whatever specialized hardware he's imagining, of whatever architecture.

Looking at computing architectures, like CPUs versus GPUs, the way he does is a post-hoc analysis, and nobody except those deep in the research community and paying attention to NVIDIA papers could have anticipated how GPUs would have affected research.

There isn't, and there is, an architectural difference between CPUs and GPUs that matter. He's sort of picking and choosing which architectural differences matter in a way that favor R&D that he conceded has problems with "falsifiability."

If anything, we need better, cheaper CPUs still! They're still very useful for R&D. I'd rather get a slow supercomputer built today than a nothing built tomorrow, if Tenenbaum is telling me he's chasing something now and needs it now.

Conversely, why should we listen to R&D people about problems that are fundamentally economically motivated? It would be a bad bet. We're getting low power CPUs now not because the world is "data oriented" or whatever he's saying, but because the iPhone is so fucking popular there's immense demand for it. Ask Paul Otellini, an expert on the CPU business, what he thinks about that! So maybe we should actually be doubling down on the needs of consumer electronics manufacturers?
Either way that's a great use of technology. AVLs and annunciators aren't exactly new technology (both exist with SF's Muni, for instance), but the MTA has definitely not used this data to avoid bunching — even in the subway.

My theory is its like this mostly because on HN because there's no downvote for posts. Everything useful that can be said about how bloated web frameworks supposedly are has pretty much been said imo, but there's a niche of people convinced every web app is actually simple and should be done using Netscape 4 era HTML.

I'm all for simplicity... but if you are developing a large web application, you probably would benefit from "heavy" web frameworks (they're not really that bad though.) What "large" is can be debated, but I'd argue most pages we use today are "large" enough. HN is a good exception. GitHub, large publications, webmail, online shops, anything dealing with realtime data... It's probably worth it.

15 USD per hour is 30k per year. A room in NYC can be found for about $1000 per month which leaves around $1.5k per month for other expenses.

It's perfectly possible to survive in NYC on $1.5k a month.

Seconded. This is a great way to go.

Quite often there isn't a reason to have SPA routing. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy lots of benefits of the fronted framework without the unneeded complexity solving something you don't really need in the first place.
HDCP is of course completely broken, and has been ever since the master key was leaked years ago. You can find all sorts of "video stabilisers" and such sold online, which will strip HDCP completely (they do not obviously advertise this ability, so read between the lines...)

Hey! I maintain the Mailspring email client and I've thoroughly battle-tested SlateJS and DraftJS. I'd absolutely love if we could move to something with broader contenteditable support in the future (it's more or less impossible to allow people to paste AND EDIT arbitrary HTML in the former two.) A few questions if the author of the post is around!

- Does EditorJS support nested blocks? Eg: can I make a list node that contains a list? Can I make a list that contains a blockquote? (DraftJS is a /linear/ set of block elements, making it very difficult to model complex documents - Slate's document model is a tree which is why pretty much why I chose it over DraftJS.)

- Does EditorJS have test coverage? What's the overall testing story look like? I'm not a big TDD person, but we've had a few stability issues with Slate (granted a slightly out of date version) that cause the document state to become invalid after certain edits and then subsequent interactions throw errors. (It's absolutely terrifying to have your text editor crash!)

It comes one every five minutes during rush hours. You'll increase capacity by around 50%. Don't see how a longer bus will bunch up more?
It still creates financial turmoil for Grindr, especially given that it was considering an IPO. The IPO would have been a financial windfall for many employees, whereas an acquisition may mean no immediate liquidity for those employees' shares and may have less desirable terms (because it's forced and has to be completed by some deadline). This may hurt morale.
The lead bus can slow down between stops and let the empty bus overtake. Essentially "stop" several bus-lengths before the next stop and let the empty bus overtake and pull into the stop ahead of it.

The full bus pulls in directly behind the lead bus and lets passengers out.
The performance on mobile doesn't look great for me (significant delay between key stroke and rendering, on iPhone X), also this particular page could be more responsive and mobile friendly.

Otherwise I love the idea of block-based editor and clean output.
This is possible with public transportation too. Trains run express and skip stops all the time.

I think that would be too much hassle with buses but it's possible.
That's the thing though. Is my team really the exception? When you look at the highly immersive web that product managers and customers have come to expect, you simply can't build it without javascript. Once you've crossed that bridge, is it really easier to finagle some event handling using vanilla js/jquery or pull down create-react-app and get all the tooling necessary to 1-click-deploy to Heroku, S3 or Github pages and not have to deal with the multitude of bugs that hand rolled events and state can cause?
You can probably write your native code in assembly too, but having an abstracted language and libraries makes it a lot easier to write complex functionality.

Of course, if all you know is assembly and you don’t have the patience to learn a new language because you’re starting a new project that needs to get done quickly, go ahead and use what you know.

It is possible to create value and not profit.

Economic value exceeds or matches market value. Market value drives revenue. Profit is a function of revenue and cost.

If that line were true, non-profit organizations wouldn't exist.

On the other hand, I'd say applications so trivial they couldn't benefit from something like React are the exception.
"Probably" perhaps overstates the case, but it's fair to imply there should be a question about if you need it, and the default answer should not always be yes.

Here's some heuristics I like:

If nearly all of your application's data presentation/processing needs map cleanly to HTTP/REST semantics for the various entities in the system... you probably don't.

If your UX involves representing/manipulating the same data in several different ways on the page and this data is going to change, especially in ways that don't map cleanly to HTTP semantics, you should consider that you do need the hip framework. Probability rises depending on how frequently user interactions produce different views of the data.

If your data is a headache to represent in HTML, you probably do (also, if you don't have an adequate general automated way to represent your data in HTML from some model description, you will likely either gravitate to solving this problem one way or another, or gravitate to a hip front-end framework).

If you ask yourself what problem you're solving with your front-end framework, and the answer either includes the word "modern" or another adjective describing a merit you aren't exactly sure relates to a specific problem to be solved, then you probably can't yet make an informed decision about whether you need that hip web framework. But, OTOH, making uninformed decisions is one way of getting the experience necessary to make informed ones, so...

So if I had to write a tl;dr I would say that there are two economic incentives for neuromorphic computing:

1. Energy efficiency: More brain-like computers will eventually an energy efficiency comparable to the human brain. Consider that AlphaGo Zero used ~200 KiloWatts for learning Go vs. a human that uses about ~20 Watts for learning everything that humans can learn.

2. AI & Neuroscience research: What better way to test neuroscience theory than to physically build a brain? As the saying goes, if you can't build you don't understand it.
What really needs to be done is the government needs to require all research that is funded at all with tax payer money (which is the vast majority of research) must be open access to all
All it takes is one or two IPOs and the VCs have all been made whole.
In short: Pick the right tool for the job. Some projects need systems like React; some don't. A lot of projects do NOT need complex underlying systems - and some do. It's sad that "pick the right tool for the job" is somehow controversial.

I downvoted the comment because you didn't connect what you were saying to the article, and so the comment reads as off-topic. Google has offices in dozens (if not hundreds) of cities around the world and has only launched Sidewalk in one of them, so it's not clear that a new Taipei office would lead to a Sidewalk launch there.

I hope this makes sense. I unfortunately cannot remove the downvote at this point.

>>>because it's a rare case when a person of very questionable moral values (I believe most people here would find her behaviour and views reprehensible)

I find the blocking of Russian IP's to be petty, which I believe she backed down from but then had the ISP in Russia start banning the site.

I dont think it raised to "reprehensible"

Now if you mean ignoring Copyright law, and releasing copyrighted works to the world, I do not find that in anyway reprehensible, I am universally anti-copyright and do not believe it should exist at all
What other project do you think I was involved in where I was pushed out? Why are you spreading libel about me?

It was a false claim propagated by James that I was pushed out Rust. I left of my own accord and then someone who followed / supported my work created an uninformed Reddit thread demanding answers after I had chosen to leave and removed myself as a repository contributor. Ask one of the core Rust developers like pcwalton what happened. We had various issues leading up to that point because of my strong opinions about how things should be done and tendency to write very strongly worded arguments about it, but ultimately it was me who decided it wasn't working and left the project. They certainly didn't kick me out of the project for writing comments in a very direct 'tone'.

It's not my fault that someone who supported me thought something much different had happened and tried to speak out in support of me when I didn't need or want their help. They should have asked me what had happened before posting on my behalf and creating unnecessary drama. Only the core Rust developers knew that wasn't what had happened so other people tried to justify a decision by them which had not happened.

James is a great manipulator and you prove it by falling for this junk. Again, ask one of the core Rust developers what actually happened. Sure, we had strong disagreements about the direction of the project and were bickering a lot. It's completely false that I was kicked out of the project though.

After that, I committed to only working on projects where I would fully own and control everything, to avoid further experiences of work being judged based on employer and relationships rather than merit behind the ideas and fair and honest discussions / debates about which direction should be chosen. That led to requiring an explicit arrangement with Copperhead where I would be working on my own project, and the company would be focusing on consulting work and attempting to build a business around the open source project to support it. They explicitly did not own or control it themselves, and then betrayed the arrangement.

It's odd that you think it's okay to spread defamation about someone like this without having a clue what actually happened.

This backs up my point -- I don't have to waste time researching anything with macOS.

That may be true, but as a user, I don't care why macOS works better, or whether it's fair. I just care that it does.

> I'm sticking to either AMD or Intel for my video cards, where everything works flawlessly.

Not an option if you need CUDA support.

Researching what hardware is supported counts as fiddling.

>Consider that AlphaGo Zero used ~200 KiloWatts for learning Go vs. a human that uses about ~20 Watts

Maybe not the best example since to have any chance at all of taking even a single game off of AlphaGo Zero a human would need to study go for at least a decade.

Another big advantage the machine has here is that the result of the AlphaGo Zero training can be deployed to as many go-playing computers as you like with no additional training.
