So you want to figure out how often you need to sample products for QA?

A model is two things: a description of what's in the black box (could be a linear model, a neural network architecture, etc) and some weights which uniquely define "that specific model". Each model will have some known input (eg image, tabular data) and output (eg number, image, list etc).

You need to store both the structure and weights: for example your model is y = mx + c, but you need to know m and c to uniquely define it.

To answer your second question robustness means a smart test strategy. Train on representative data, validate during training on a second data set and test on hold-out data that the model has never seen.

Unfortunately it's quite hard to prove model robustness (in the case of deep learning anyway), you have to assume that you trained on enough realistic data.

If you really have no idea about robustness, then you should probably do a kind of soft-launch. Run your model in production alongside what you currently use, and see whether the output makes sense.

You could try, for example, sampling with your current strategy as well as the schedule defined by your ML model (so you lose nothing but a bit of time if the ML system is crap). Then compare the two datasets and see whether the ML model is at least performing the same as your current method.

Surely you can make some naive estimates of robustness though? eg if the model says sample 5% of your product, you then have a bound on the chance that you miss something.

WW1 was of course an enormous tragedy, but it was fought between armies.

I'm not aware of any major attacks on civilians in that war.
Yeah, this is neat but not a good explanation for how ancient stones were moved, many of which do not have shapes particularly conducive to rolling, including the moai of Easter Island. The article also talks about using varying densities of concrete to control the center of gravity which wouldn't really have been an option when carving from rock.

It's hard to see how this technique would apply to the very rectangular 800 tonne trilithons at Baalbek or the 1000 tonne statue at the Ramesseum, or even the 70 tonne underground sarcophagi at Saqqara.
Does anyone have the mentioned video?
Yes, of course. They seem to think that acknowledging mistakes and misbehaviour will rob them of their power since that power partly depends on them never being wrong. They must realise that anyone and his dog knows by now this is a total fiction but for some reason they just can't get themselves to step up, bow down deep like you sometimes see Japanese CxO's do when taking blame for some misstep and humble themselves before their nation. Given that the same phenomenon has characterised more or less al other "communist" regimes it seems to be something in this ideology/doctrine which makes it near to impossible to admit to failure.

Poverty. Why take the risk of starting a business if you can't really benefit from it. Why invest money in another business if you can only own 1000 times the median per capita wealth? Why save money at all? Just spend it immediately!

It would be the world's greatest party until it collapses, because no savings, investments, and risk-taking means that jobs disappear.

Also, stealing would be very popular, so a job in law enforcement is about as good as it gets. It would allow you to seize the most.
Note that arsenic at low levels is an essential dietary mineral for many/most? mammals. The jury is out on whether that includes humans.

What AMP does is provide google.com content and lie to the user and says it comes from company.com.

Which isn’t true, and it only does so for users coming from google.com. Where I’m sure google will be happy for the additional tracking data.

I think the hardest part of doing democratic socialism is measuring labor. I think that time is a fine unit of measure but I have no data to back that thought up.

Everything else about democratic socialism is much easier now in the 21st century. Chile had a computer planned economy in the 1970s that was literally just a bunch of telex machines in factories around the nation talking to a central mainframe in the capital.

Also, I think democratic socialism can work on levels other than the national one. Like, neighborhood or town scale. To be embedded in the U.S., such a community would need a to produce some kind of surplus which could entice the neighbors to integrate into the democratic socialist system.
All things considered, clearing a forest to help wean us of natural gas and oil is probably a net positive.
I think there's a rational explanation for making what I agree with you is a quite a wrong assessment.

First of all, modern armies are mass action: uniforms make the "other side" literally uniform and undifferentiated. The purpose is twofold: first so that your own troopers won't think rationally about what they are doing and will simply follow along with the crowd, whether the rule is "shoot", "dig a foxhole", "don't run away" or whatever. The second value is to dehumanise the enemy and increase the chance that violence will actually be done to him (this is why the officers were so unhappy with the Christmas Day football game between British and German troops in WWI).

This whole process appeared in the Nopoleonic->Prussian invention of mass warfare; until then it was a largely retail affair when you really figured if you needed to kill that other guy in front of you or not.

Second of all, and again this is a function of 20th century warfare, this process was amplified through mass propaganda to whole populations, again dehumanizing the enemy. It's own long topic so I"ll stop here.

I will say that these refusals are even harder, not easier, when you're in a group who can see you take action or not (as opposed to firing at a far-away enemy where your colleagues can't really see how well you're aiming).

So in other words: everybody on HN has been trained to think this way, and all active participants in WWII had been likewise trained to think this way of the "other side"

Hey sure. I am delighted with how my project turned out, an old iPod is fantastic in the car, gym, while travelling without data allowance etc. I hadn't modded an iPod before this and it worked out ok.

This has some details: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/86q47c/i_revived_an_ol...

Get an iPod classic, 5.5 gen if possiible (best DAC, for a nice warm sound)[1] A broken one, as long as it's not totally physically destroyed, is one way to go from ebay.

Get an offical iFlash device, I got the Quad with slots for up to 4 SD cards [2] Get some large capacity micro SD cards (x4 slots in the Quad, meaning several TBs are possible, for relatively cheap as the cards are getting cheaper by the day)

Upgrade the battery, if desired, optional but highly recommended [3]

Replace the front + back covers, clickwheel, screen as desired (pay attention to thin and thick back covers) [4]

For instructions on opening the case correctly, and replacing the parts, look on Youtube there's a bunch of decent videos explaining the process.

Look into installing rockbox[5], an open source firmware. It supports loads of audio formats and let's you escape the cluthes of itunes, to a much nicer application like Musicbee. WARNING for some reason, rockbox never worked correctly with my iPod 5.5 gen. I reinstalled several times, but songs would constantly skip while playing, even though they were fine on any other device. Therefore, I wiped rockbox again back to the Apple factory firmware, and everything works fine. I even figured out a way to sync Musicbee with the default Apple firmware.

If you really want to go nuts, you can install a bluetooth transmittor inside the newly freed up iPod case[6] I read though that the bluetooth has limited range inside the metal case, and it runs the battery down much more quickly.

A travesty, for sure, but unlikely to tarnish that brewery's reputation given the nationality of the perpetrators.

Another serious problem with ordering such beers on tap in the U.S. is that the beer in the line is often flat and stale, having sat for perhaps days due to its unpopularity here. Compounding this, I've found our bartenders are sometimes unfamiliar with the beers, and may add insult to injury by denying there's any problem.

If you're drinking in anything other than a true specialty bar in North America, from my experience it's best to stick to bottled beer from one of our excellent local alternatives, such as Ommegang or Unibroue.
I've known about Erlang for at least 20 years, but I never took the time to learn about it.

Godspeed, Joe. You set a high bar for many of us to aim for. Your patience, kindness and desire to help and spread knowledge is truly inspirational.
I'm not a professional but I built a pipeline for Makers Part List - It involves ingesting a video URL, converting the video into images, then storing the images in google storage. Once stored I trigger the model to classify the image. The images are then displayed to annotators who verify/relabel the images. Once I get enough new images the system creates a .csv and uploads it to googles autoML where it retrains my model.

My bottlenecks now are splitting the videos into images as its a very CPU intensive process. Implementing a queue here is my best choice I think.

Ask HN: Will there ever be a resurgence of interest in symbolic AI?
Symbolic AI fell by the wayside at the beginning of the AI winter. More recently, with powerful GPUs making ML and other statistical AI approaches feasible, symbolic AI has not seen anywhere near as much investment.

There are still companies I know of that do symbolic AI (such as https://www.cyc.com), but I very rarely hear of new research in the field.
I would also add "avoid it altogether" where practical. Using stripe or similar, for checkout, for example, and you don't have to ever touch a credit card number, CVV, etc.
so what's your point?

either we have control over our fate and can change it, or if me manage to fix the problems we run into we were determined to do so. the end result is the same. we can't tell the difference because we don't know what our fate is. as a result it is pointless to even try to tell a difference. because any attempt to say that we are not determined to solve a problem is defeatist. how can we know which problems we are determined to solve and which not? the only way we can find out is by trying. if we fail, then maybe we are not determined to solve that problem. but we'll never know, therefore we must not give up trying. and in this case we solved the problem, so we obviously were determined to do so, hence no delusion here.

you are deluding yourself if you believe that you can tell your determination. being able to do so would imply that you can see into the future.

because i can't tell the future, i can't tell what i am determined to, hence the whole point becomes moot.
> Do you have a dataset showing people without children work less hard and create less wealth?

That's not what I was claiming. I was only claiming that providing for one's family is one of the main motivations for people to do productive work and create wealth, not that it is the only motivation.

Do you have a dataset showing that people with spouses and children do not do productive work and create wealth?

1. What I’m working on at the moment is AB-testing, so no real models there; plenty of simulations and tests though.

2. There are several videos of Jan describing his work, including that one, so I’ll let him give examples of what he means by models:
https://www.datasciencefestival.com/video/dsf-day-2-jan-teic...

3. At the big company, it’s an e-commerce website with many products along many dimensions, so models about what aspect of the product customers would be interested in, whether they are likely to commit to purchasing now or just browsing; price sensitivity against other factors. They typically have non-authenticated users, so they have to guess a lot about the users, from time of day, country of connection, type of device used, browsing rhythm — the inferences are not perfect, but they inform how the product is presented, and have a meaningful impact on conversion.

4. In the presentation at Trainline, there are not explicit about what models they have in mind, but it’s also an e-commerce company, so a lot of similar decision.

One unique problem they had talked about openly before (UK train companies are not really reactive but British people love their festivals, championship matches, protests, horse- and dog-races and drinking during all of the above): they deal with the occasional crowded train, so they are trying to predict if a train is going to swamped and if the person booking is going to the event in question. In the latter case, they’d rather avoid the loud fans or drunken top-hatted horse-owners.

For all of the above models, the models are trying to predict something that they can have ground-truth about (typically: buying behaviour), often based on data obtained minutes later. That means all are monitoring the model accuracy, typically off-line. In most cases, they are also monitoring the impact of the use of the model: better recommendations should lead to better conversion, but also, say, a higher MRR.
Once you go down the road of totalitarianism, the risks of turning back get worse and worse over time. The playbook of all dictatorships is the same: squeeze tighter and tighter until you can no longer hold on, then collapse.

Sometimes the process is quite rapid, sometimes it drags on. It all depends how long you can keep the elite prosperous and happy and how long you can maintain economic growth.

And burning trees is better than letting them rot, which releases methane.
The cost of global warming and the benefits we've reaped from its cause (cheap power) are both a significant fraction of world GDP. Planting 160 trees per person would be cheap, and even easily do-able by an individual in a few weekends (though it's obviously way more efficient to hire specialists to do it en mass).

The total suitable land area needed (more than the area of the USA, by my estimate) is much more likely to be the limiting factor than the per-person difficulty.

Language changes, and texts that were written before in a language are not necessarily intelligible to native speakers today. 2000 years after the Aeneid was written, ordinary native speakers of the language it was written in (i.e now French, Italian, Spanish, Romanian, etc.) are unable to make much sense of it, let alone provide valuable insights to scholars. It is trained non-native speakers who are able to read it at all.

Similarly, even if Manchu had not become so moribund, its native speakers probably would have been no more proficient in Qing-era texts, especially considering that they represent an elite literary style and bureaucratic terminology, than trained non-native speakers.
One could plant that many pine saplings in a weekend with good hand tools. Mechanize it, spread the cost amongst many, I believe it wouldn’t cost, relative to what it offsetting, all that much. Land acquisition would probably be the larger obstacle.

> someone with a great vision about how to use the state’s wealth for everybody’s benefit

History shows that such people are much, much rarer than people who have a great vision about how to use wealth they have either inherited or built up themselves for everybody's benefit. Or, to put it another way, people with a great vision that will actually work are far more likely to become entrepreneurs than politicians. Bill Gates is eradicating malaria using his own wealth while governments have failed to do so for centuries.
Espresso Shot timer.

- I have side project that i have made physical one - to see how long you extract coffee from espresso machine . (traveldrip espresso shottimer)
but i would love to make simple phone app that goes like this:

- launch app in calibration mode
- allow mic to record 3x sound of machine going on (usually distinctive click), same for off.

- leave my phone on and by coffee machine when pulling espresso shots. It recognizes the sound pattern of defined click, times it till recognizes the click of turning off.
what is needed
- simple and sleek interface
- solid real time sound recognition. machine learning to filter out chatter

While a common-enough failure mode, this is by no means universal. Many successful monarchies began as the equivalent of dictatorships, and then opened up further and further over time.
