Investment bankers will often claim this, while also lying about their salary.

I was often surprised by my colleagues claiming extra long work weeks, all while looking remarkable fresh. I couldn't work it out - I mean, if I worked a solid 14 hour day, you could see it clearly on my face, yet if they do it, they seem to develop a healthy glow. Turns out a lot of them were in the building, but not at their desk. Oftentimes they were in the gym/steam/sauna. That explained the healthy glow!
I would also add that it's important to learn that what you are teaching now may be considered an anti-pattern down the road. Or that the framework de jour is going to become tech debt in 5 years.

So it's really important to distinguish between long term viable fundamental skills/techniques from current best practices.

A specific example of this is I started using javascript a lot, then Prototype.js then jQuery came out (which did not litter the core objects with protoype inheritances, which is better...) and now back to vanilla js now that the browser incompatibilities are minimal. The only long term viable skill here is coding in general, and vanilla js, everything else was a fad of sorts.

Have fun teaching, I really enjoy this part of my work.
Brilliant idea.
I think this is correct, but we also semi-intentionally conflate the two to say the less worse version while connoting the worse version.

That said, the difference is blurry. LinkedIn and Facebook are both capable of hyper-specific targeting that may as well be specific users. I haven't interacted with Snap's ad product, but I suspect it can accomplish similar granularity.

I am bookmarking this article, this is pure gold.

Also, it seems to me that most of what he says can be distilled into a boilerplate/template structure for any given deep learning framework, from which new projects can be forked - does this already exist?

Ultimately people will hire you if they can understand the value you’ll bring to their org. I.e, the dollars you will help them earn, or the impact your efforts will have on a goal that’s primary to them. Education is one signal out of many.

That means that if you can get in front of the hiring manager, your resume is going to be less important than the impression you make on that person, and how compelling a case you can make about the value you’ll generate.

There are gate keepers out there who will discard perfectly good candidates because their resume doesn’t exactly match the job description; focus your energy on discovering ways to skip over those people and get in front of the decision makers — and then be prepared to articulate and demonstrate the value you’ll bring.
If Tesla doesn’t have the right training data then no one does. Tesla has both simulations and vast amounts of real world data from cars all over the world. Extracting depth maps from 2d images is a solved problem, which negates the need for Lidar. Best I can tell Tesla is the closest out of everyone to solving self driving. I don’t think they’ll solve it by next year, but If I had to guess I’d say 2.5 to 3 years from now Tesla will have relatively safe self driving cars.
>> The STL was a last-minute addition to the standard library before C++98.

> C++ without a standard C++ library is not really C++.

You seem to be missing the point, which is that there was a time (two decades!) when the C++ standard library existed, but didn't include the STL.

> Only because C++ was the only thing available at the time, so people twisted it into 'OOP', despite the fact that C++ was very a poor fit for 'OOP'.

You are completely mistaken on your history here. C++ was intended to be "C with classes" from day one.
DBC is an interesting beast, the way it was implemented in Dart VM was not like a normal interpreter (e.g. you interpret and then you tier up into JIT which generates native code), but kinda like a pseudoarchitecture. DBC tiers up into... itself. An optimizing JIT in DBC mode would generate optimized DBC bytecodes, not native code. This all kinda makes sense in the environment for which DBC was created - iOS, where you can't JIT. However in environment where you can generate native code this makes no sense - and even prevents you from reaching peak performance.

KBC is an experiment in this space where you have a more classical interpreter which tiers up into native JIT. In KBC mode bytecodes are also given to VM rather than generated internally inside the VM like DBC does.

Theoretically KBC should have better startup latency than just JIT (because you can start executing code immediately, rather than spending time to generate native code) and peak performance that matches JITs - because it tiers up into JIT.

I'm studying up on data structures and algorithms via MIT 6.006. At one point, I got frustrated as to why there is no mechanical way of collapsing finite sums in their closed forms. Or how I used to say a couple of hours ago "create a formula out of those sums."

So I looked some things up and this is a nice tutorial that I found on it. It's a bit crazy if you're not too mathematically inclined (like me, I know basic calculus), but it allowed me to kind of see that there is a system for creating closed forms out of certain finite sums.

Two very new things you'll learn:

1. Falling powers (also called falling factorials).

2. Stirling numbers (and that they are useful for converting falling powers to the normal powers we're used to).

For me, this is a Provigo, an IGA, and a Metro Express. The Adonis might run into competition, but probably not. A Walmart Neighborhood Market would neither be a strict upgrade nor a strict downgrade to the other chain supermarkets.
Its supporting activity that you're only doing because you're doing the washing. I can't think of a situation where it wouldn't be correct to lump such activities in with the main activity.

Yes I do know how people used to wash clothes, and it would be a lot quicker if you missed out heating up the water on an open fire/range, and the mangling, and the hanging out of the clothes after. All features of wash day.
I am no expert, but one reason could be that there are certain avenues of research could only be viable for a company with large resources and funding not to mention patience (An example is pharma companies that spends billions and a decade developing a new drug).
I haven’t checked the code, but I’m also hugely surprised Lua did so poorly. Even the default non-JIT interpreter should be way faster than Python.
It's unlikely that any academic research will happen. Companies view hiring pipeline data as proprietary because they fear competitors may learn from it and gain and advantage. Even if researchers agreed to anonymize data I doubt BigCos would agree to share because it still could be used to benefit a competitor.

There is likely to be internal research at some companies.

Imagine a ball rolling down a huge basin. Very deep, ball gets a terminal velocity, rolls down at constant speed. Then the basin shallows, and finally the ball reaches the bottom. From the ball's point of view, "downnwardness", an ineluctable constant, has ceased to exist.

They picked rules from almost all kinds of sports in the world but did they have that kind of diversity in the 'human fine tuning' piece of it? Otherwise I guess the end result is going to be bit biased.
They say you can use spherical balls too (to the right in the rule image). It seems to not be important for the game.
How many hours are people who say they work 40 working?
When people first look at ways to cheat in a team sport, I would argue that using them for target practice (in a ball sport that is) is a suitable lesson.

For less evil geniuses, I bet we can rely on social moderation to find appropriate punishments that make fouling just undesirable enough while they keep the spirit of the sport (in this case probably an electronic sheep) alive.
I heard from people who work in that culture that it is more for show. Most people still browse YouTube/Reddit and stuff. When everything is an emergency, nothing is an emergency.
>People through history have always had an outraged culture

Sure has...just look at the Bible and the story of a mob chasing down Mary trying to stone her, until Jesus intervened and ask he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Of course society couldn’t handle such self-reflection - much less some radical preaching about love - and given the first chance, the mob took out their outrage on him and had him strung up on a cross Roman style.

Leaving out any religious context, those are perfect stories encompassing human nature.
ReactXP (https://microsoft.github.io/reactxp/) targets mobile and desktop platforms using the OS's native UI.

Windows support is implemented via https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows and targets W10, Xbox, and Windows Mixed Reality.

MacOS support is experimental, but mostly working. Linux currently needs an Electron wrapper. Theoretically you could port one of the react-native-desktop projects to use GTK or Qt.

Then of course you have native iOS and Android components with Facebook's ReactNative and web support via React.

ReactXP wraps all of these projects allowing you to write React components and TypeScript code that is shared among every platform. It's the same workflow as Electron, even less so, with native UI.

Julia was astonishing. It's a high level language that's performing almost like C.

Last time I checked, many years back, the spec was changing and the run time did crash. Guess it has gone a long way since.

The other one is Lua. My assumption was that it's one of the lightest and fastest language around. Looks like "fastest" isn't true in some cases.
Whether or not there is some dispute between the commonly accepted meaning of "prostestant work ethic" (which the wikipedia article captures) and the academic definitions you're using, I think there is cause to say that American protestant culture advocated for a certain dedication to work that is unusual in it's demand for great diligence.

Here's a quote from John Wesley, the father of Methodism and Weslayan protestantism (both of which are highly impactful in the US from the great awakening revival periods):

"it is every Christian’s duty to observe this first rule: ‘Gain all you can’. Gain all you can by honest work with all diligence. Lose no time in silly diversions and do not put off until tomorrow what may be done today. Do nothing by halves; use all the common sense that God has given you and study continually that you may improve on those who have gone before you. "

Baseball is represented by 6 rules.
Ultimate Frisbee is represented by 18.
Quidditch is represented by 20+.

Wikipedias list of sports is in the neighborhood of 1200 sports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports
Excluding an extra list of 150 or so ball games.

So Baseball has about an average representation of rules, whereas quidditch is weighted way higher than the average sport.

In my personal and subjective experience, working beyond 55 hours in a week is very doable... But it's absolutely not sustainable. I've found that doing it for more than 2-3 weeks in a row will generally result in declining productivity and burnout after that, requiring 2-3 weeks of 0-30 hour work weeks afterwards to recover.

Some hard learned lessons that I now adhere to:

* Don't push past 50 hours a week regularly

* If you do, cut your hours down to below 40 the following week, or even take some days off

* Take at least one full weekend off at least once per month
It doesn't sound passable to me - it sounds boring, it's a hack around a text-parsing architecture ffs, trying to make it understand multi-dimensional and multi-timbral data... There are models that do better, and can "surprise and delight" you in different ways than a human would. Think about DeepDream and the whole experience of trying to spot all the weird doggie parts that the computer manages to sneak in those pictures - I don't think that a human could paint a DeepDream-dog picture nearly as effortlessly and perfectly as a computer can! I would definitely describe that as successful art, as far as it goes. But that doesn't mean that DeepDream "solves" visual art as a task!
I think in both cases you'll need to discuss the details of the projects you've done, whether in the ND or on your own. Without getting your hands dirty, any degree is just a piece of paper. Its the work you've done that proves you have real skills, and you're not just a trained chimp.

That's a bad thing.

Your apps are more predictable to developers between platforms, but less predictable to users.

Fear not, my friend, because the execution is only a part of why music and art as a whole carries meaning for us.

Consider two tracks that are identical (forget copywrite for a minute). Between one that an AI generated and a human composed, I would personally grant the human-generated version more credit and enjoy it more. The story of how art is created and the stories of the artist are as substantial to appreciating art as a stroke of a brush or a note on a page. Computers will never replicate this until singularity.
That is a funny yet really good video.

Reminds me of a blog post I wrote a few years ago on how breaking down problems is the most important skill you can ever learn as a developer.

I had a similar example where I talked about tying your shoes. What seems so trivial can easily end up being hundreds of steps without even delving into really low level details like controlling individual muscles of a specific part of your body.
I was obsessed with "leaf lard", the stuff near the kidneys for a while. I was told that it makes a superior pie crust so finally my wife gave me a jar for my birthday. It's very expensive and, in my opinion, totally not worth it. I can make a better tasting crust that's just as flaky with plain old butter.

Which isn't to say lard isn't great, I render it out when making slow-cooker pork and use it for tamales or as a frying oil. I just don't like it in pastry.
I disagree with this: some of the stuff being played live on Twitch right now I would definitely voluntarily listen to, especially if it was actually performed by people with real instruments and not just midi.

My chief complaint about the small supermarkets in urban environments is that their produce just doesn’t turn over very fast.

Especially for the larger pack sizes, if they even have them at all.

More generally, Am I willing to save 30% on bread crumbs or soap if it means buying a 6-12 month supply up-front? Yes, that’s a great ROI!

I'm not familiar with go but I seem to recall it is garbage collected.

If so it may be something to do with the creation of new vectors on the heap instead of the stack. The compiler would have to determine the full lifetime of the vector value to be able to bump it to the stack. That's an optimization, and sometimes it's just not possible (but probably is here).

In the C instance no such optimization is necessary. They ask for it on the stack, and if you try to use it after the stack is gone, Bad Things™ happen.

A hypothesis to test would be that languages above the jump are managing to work on the stack and ones below are allocating objects on the heap.

Careful, there's an important distinction between "the majority of participants" and "those who have the most power and the most to lose."

In fact, that reminds me of a Terry Pratchett quote which I think is particularly appropriate to this subject:

> Supposing an emperor was persuaded to wear a new suit of clothes whose material was so fine that, to the common eye, the clothes weren't there. And suppose a little boy pointed out this fact in a loud, clear voice...

> Then you have The Story of the Emperor Who Had No Clothes.

> But if you knew a bit more, it would be The Story of the Boy Who Got a Well-Deserved Thrashing from His Dad for Being Rude to Royalty, and Was Locked Up.

> Or The Story of the Whole Crowd Who Were Rounded Up by the Guards and Told 'This Didn't Happen, OK? Does Anyone Want to Argue?'

> Or it could be a story of how a whole kingdom suddenly saw the benefit of the 'new clothes', and developed an enthusiasm for healthy sports in a lively and refreshing atmosphere which got many new adherents every year, and led to a recession caused by the collapse of the conventional clothing industry.
