I've tried using Google's AutoML to classify medical images as part of a Kaggle competition just to see what their process is like and how well it performs. This was Q4 2018, so things might have changed slightly.

In brief, my experience was quite frustrating. First, getting my dataset to the cloud required quite a bit of manual labor. Uploading my 25GB of images on my 40mbit/s wasn't really ideal so I ended up spawning an virtual machine on GCP and downloading directly from Kaggle. Unzipping the files and writing it to Google Cloud storage with some terminal commands.

Furthermore, to get the label data into AutoML I had to write some generation script that generated the exact format CSV that AutoML requires - which was hidden in their documentation somewhere with no mention in the AutoML environment itself.

Nothing too cumbersome but generally not a very user friendly experience, or something I wish to repeat many times if I get a new/different dataset.

Ultimately, when the data with labels was in the model started training. Then I found, that I didn't really have the tools and information to assess the model performance. They did a decent job of characterizing model performance through precision recall graphs and displaying incorrect predictions but that didn't really satisfy me. I was interested in getting more details about where it was misclassifying images, specifically how classification performance was distributed across the 28 classes the model was predicting (in a multi label context).

This is the point where I think the downside of working with a platform such as AutoML starts showing. I tried reaching out to someone about gaining more insight into model performance by opening a ticket, since there was no phone number. After a couple of days I finally received an email from a product representative that told me that for any assistance I should contact one of their local cloud partners.

These are third party vendors that typically assist companies in deploying cloud based applications in the GCP. However, after calling two of these companies that were highly recommended by Google's vendor page I was told that they don't have any experience with AutoML and that I was on my own. The other company didn't reply at all.

In my view, choosing a product such as AutoML - for a company that is serious about adopting AI to improve their business - is currently not a good path (yet). And I see this space as being wide open for competition with current solutions not cutting it from my point of view.

If you had an escape, it wouldn't be lane splitting.

Picture four lanes with four vehicles. You decide to go right down the middle. The outermost vehicles change, being replaced by larger vehicles, but the innermost vehicles haven't seen you. The innermost vehicles move inward to have more distance from the outermost vehicles. The resulting space is physically too small for your body.

There is no escape. You go crunch.

I wouldn't mind if this only affected you, but it isn't harmless to me. Now I have to pull over and wait for the cops, ruining my schedule. I'll need to get my van repaired. I'll need to sue your estate for damages. If things go very badly, I may be wrongly blamed for your crash.

Stay in your lane. We mark lanes for a very good reason.
Sigh. I've reviewed almost everything written about the accidents including the information supplied by Boeing to the airlines to explain the function of the MCAS system.

I've been thinking about this for a while, even pitched the following:

Good news. News that makes the world better (aka journalism). Distilled deductive logical reasoning, observations and theories. Not gossip, gawking, envy, or mindless time sinks.

For me this pragmatically works out to a combination of hackernews, hackaday, massdevice, arstechnica, atlasobscura, and podcasts/pbs/npr.

I did not even know there was an Amazon people (I knew there were tribes that lived in the Amazon rainforest, but I did not know they were "Amazon" [Amazons? Amazonians?]). Anyway, the more salient point, I think, is that Amazon the company is not named after the tourism business (to the best of my knowledge) contrary to the claim upthread.
No, when some changes are made, very specific tests start failing, and that conveys some information. (It can take some work to sort out what the information means, though...)

How does it become more difficult to fix? Because you have to fix the tests, too? Don't just fix them. Use them as a guide to where to think a bit more. "This change broke that test. Is that telling me that the change broke the assumptions of that code, and that therefore the change is wrong? Or is it just that the test itself didn't expect this?" You should know which it is before you fix a test.

I think the situation you're describing here is not TDD-vs-after-the-fact-testwriting. It's incomplete-vs-close-to-complete test coverage.
That might foul up your Eustachian tubes or sinuses: probably better to do it through your mouth, holding your lips together.
I think that using a soft token or push notifications are better than nothing, but a company putting a (often known vulnerable) phone at the same level as a security key seems like setting a bad precedent. Then again, at least it's not SMS-verification. Perhaps in future leaks and scrapes of end-user deviced we don't just get data dumps and passwords, but also internal key seeds and tokens...

It's the secure enclave and the purpose-built firmware that makes a security key a security key. I'm sure some specific Android devices have a safe implementation, and I'm sure that some SIM cards and perhaps the recent iPhone Secure Elements have properties that allow them to be safely used as a security key, but putting it forward that phones can be seen and used that way in general lacks that important distinction.

According to my experience (and again, that's the only thing I know), that's not even remotely true.

When I interviewed a couple years ago, I made sure to interview at FAANG (specifically Facebook, Google, Netflix) and I also interviewed at half dozen big public companies in the same couple months (among which Oracle, Salesforce, Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto Networks). I didn't interview at any private company (Uber, AirBnB, ...), since I was coming out of the startup world and I wanted liquid compensation.

The FAANG offers that came back were all significantly higher than the other ones, and the constant was certainly me (a software engineer with 7 years of experience at the time and a BS + MS in Computer Engineering).

All the FAANG offers (luckily I got an offer from all the 3 I interviewed at) were at a total liquid compensation of $~400-450k/y (annualized cash + RSU), and I'm certainly not in the top 10% of their tech workforce, not even remotely close, I come in as a generalist with some ops experience who spent a couple months studying algorithms and data structures. I don't even have an active GitHub profile.

All the other non-FAANG tech companies (I got an offer from 4) were at a total liquid compensation of $~220k/y (annualized cash + RSU).

The only other companies who matched the FAANG offers were a couple of hedge funds on the East Coast, but I didn't want to relocate and I wanted to keep working for a tech company.

In the end, I joined Google.

So, I'm just reporting my own personal experience based on the data I directly experienced (I have PDFs of all the offers :-)). Feel free to ask any follow up question, I love educating software engineers on their real market value, since I think many sell themselves too short in this thriving market.

As discussed in this thread, they delivered 1 year of pre-orders in a single month, thereby topping the charts. It remains to be seen what sales figures will be like the next few months. This may just be another case of bad statistics.

I inherited a system that let you put AAA in the product price field and would persist it.

Validation is hard to get right so they simply didn’t try, not even common sense.

I’ve spent years thinking about the optimal way to structure validation and I’ve never come up with an approach I really like on an architectural level so I do the usual approach of simple sanity checks on the client and proper validation against business logic on the server but even that isn’t as isolated as I’d like.

They aren't open source licenses then, by definition. But there are definitely things comparable. Microsoft's "Reference Source License" is a good example: You're allowed to use their source as a reference for debugging and security, but not able to fork or redistribute any of the code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Source_Initiative

Sometimes these types of licenses are called "source-available" rather than "open source", which distinguishes the significantly different type of permissions associated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-available_software

That's totally fair. My network, my rules. You are not required to use my network.

However, I'm not completely heartless. I also run an open WiFi AP that, although limited, is available for guests who aren't comfortable with my security measures. You can't reach the rest of my network through it, but it's there and will get you internet access.

I think the worst offenders of this are Fox News, but it's not like CNN or MSNBC are blameless.

I remember being disgusted at Fox News, especially during the WMD debacle. I was right there with Jon Stewart when he criticized it as "Faux News." Certainly, "it's not like CNN or MSNBC are blameless." In recent years, they've become every bit as bad.

there's this bizarre, us-against-them, almost-conspiratorial vibe to a lot of what's in the news

Start counting the subtle references to these. It's pretty much everywhere across mainstream news sources.
You can already use a Yubikey with Google. I have mine set up.
The article and the comments express the desire for news to be an effective tool to inform and educate the public. While appealing, this idea has never worked in the past, and there's no evidence that it can work in the near future.

The reason is not that the media or the journalists do something wrong. Rather, the vast majority of the public is simply not interested in being educated or informed.

You can send the best art / math / business professor to a school, but if the students are not interested in that field and have no need for a good grade, there will be very little learning done.

The public is quite capable to take any information they are offered, and convert it to an argument in favor of their political or social beliefs; it is also very capable, when given a choice, to select the lowest quality information.

It's unclear to me how anything can be done to counteract those tendencies. And as long as these tendencies stay in place, it seems rather futile to discuss "better news".
They did. M87* was the widely publicised "first" photo, but they also got images of Sagittarius A* (the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy).

The difficulties with Sgr A* are twofold:

- The black hole moves too much during an observation (because it's much closer, and parallax is a thing)

- Sgr A* is much smaller than M87* by mass, so even though it's much closer, the angular diameter is almost the same, and the accretion disk is dimmer.

Amazonas is a state in Brazil (which does, admittedly, contain most of the Amazon forest - but is not the forest itself) and the Portuguese name of the river. The forest is called "Amazônia" in Portuguese.
I think a useful definition of “elite” would be that you have some sort of competition the performance on which stack ranks the competitors, the top N of which are considered elite.

Now, what that means in academia is pretty straightforward since academia is one big scoreboard.

However, what that means at work, I’ve no idea...

"how long before we start dropping the standards to earn a degree" I'd say the steepest decline began about 10 years ago. We have people receiving graduate degrees who are barely functionally literate, let alone know anything of value.

I believe Amazon's brand origin can be traced back to a stupid bit of wordplay like... "Books are made from paper, paper comes from trees, we want to sell all the books so we're naming ourselves after all the trees - hence, The Amazon"

Shameless plug but there is plenty of competitive pinball in the Bay Area as well!

Selfie leagues are fun for beginners, you can play at your own pace and snap a selfie of your score and submit it online. There are selfie leagues in San Francisco [1] , Oakland [2] and South Bay [3]

But that's just the tip of the iceberg! There's also a more competitive league, the SFPD [4] as well as a fun team league style format [5]

It's a great community and there usually ends up being a tournament of some form almost every weekend.

I don't believe Web Bluetooth should be used with security keys (in fact, I believe communication with those is specifically blocked as a part of Web Bluetooth).

This is because the browser needs to pass the origin to the device and ensure the webpage can't impersonate another origin.
I hear this same statement come up in conversation a lot more recently. A lot of us agree that the news seems broken, though every time I have this conversation we can never find a good solution to the problem.

William Barr has never made that claim. And he went on to say, right after that quote, that the Justice Department is conducting an investigation into this. That's very big news!

No, Switzerland is in fact a large industrial producer and exporter given its economic size. Their goods exports as a share of their economy are larger than the US for example.

Switzerland: "About 74% of Swiss GDP is generated by the service sector and 25% by industry. The contribution from the agricultural sector is less than 1%." [1]

By contrast, nearly 80% of the US economy is service sector based.[2] Japan is around 70% for its service sector as a share of its economy. Switzerland isn't far off of Japan.

The typical high-income nation has 74% of its economy comprised of the service sector, which is exactly where Switzerland is.

Exports (including services) account for nearly half of Switzerland's economy. Just one industrial good export, packaged medicaments, as a share of their total GDP (5.1%) is nearly equal to all combined US exports (including service exports) as a share of the US economy (all US exports are 5.8% of the US economy).[3] Switzerland is very clearly an industrial economy as well as a service econonomy.

Unfortunately, it's not true. On a standard (US) home outlet (120volts), you charge a Model 3 at about 5 miles of range per hour. So, if I get home from dinner after work at 8:00pm, and have to leave for the office at 7:00am the next morning, my car only adds about 55 miles worth of charge.

As an example, I went for a longer drive on Saturday, and it took 37 hours to charge at home (right through Monday morning.)

(I live in a place where I'm currently unable to install a high-capacity charging outlet.)
I'm no wordsmith but isn't it instinctual for humans to want to reproduce? The testosterone level in men are far greater than in women. I would say it's a biological "curse" but also a necessity for the continuation of the human race. It'd be wonderful if you could just train yourself to ignore the testosterone impulses nagging for a release but it seems impossible to me.

Speaking as a male in his late 20s, I've got fulfilling hobbies such as working on my car, biking, exercising and programming with friends. However none of those scratch the biological itch to have physical intimacy. I am actually quite offended you'd ask of me to deny my desires and to call me selfish for wanting to to pursue what is ingrained biologically in me. There is nothing to be gained from setting my bar low for what I want in life.

Can't say enough good things about the Traveler's Notebook.

- It's rugged.

- It's modular.

- It improves with age.

In addition to all of the customization options, it's about the same size as a reporter's notebook, which fits nicely inside the cover. Also, if you're into fountain pens, the elastic band does a great job of keeping it in place along the side.
