How does these auto ML-solutions (like h2o) work in practice, anyone willing to share their experience?

I wonder how automatic machine learning tools like these will shape the "data science" roles in the future. Obviously, the most cutting edge research will always be done by specialised human experts, but perhaps tools like these will lower the bar required for the bulk of mainstream ML work.
Like C, you mean?

How is it more verbose than C++, Java, Rust or Swift?

You're not making much sense here, why do you feel so threatened?
True, but there is the family emoji which is a man, woman, child emoji joined by a UTF ZWJ. That wouldn't be possible then.
Communication is pretty much sorted for me. I know exactly what you mean and do see people around me struggle with it. But I have never had people tell me to repeat my sentences or get closer to the mic etc. (Well it might have been because of the internet connectivity etc. but never because of my accent)

I lived in the US for 2 years as a kid, so have a pretty neutral accent.
Volkswagen SDC:LX | Software Developer | Full time | ONSITE | Lisbon, Portugal

At SDC:LX, we iterate quickly using lean and agile methodologies within a balanced team and end-customer focus. We believe and employ a low-hierarchy and equality-based culture, where Software Developers, Product Designers and Product Managers work together as equals.

We’re hiring Full Stack Software Developers that are committed in delivering quality code by applying TDD, CI/CD and pair programming.
We are looking for people that are eager to learn and love to stay updated with tech. We're currently using golang, kotlin, python, react and angular, but this changes as we learn and grow.

Let's not forget the time-proven insecurity of your average IoT device, coupled to generally terrible security practices in (any given organisation)... I'd rather deal with physical keys.

Whoever is in control of your API keys is opaque for the tenants. If you think your physical keys are compromised you can just replace the cylinder.
> I find the argument that it's impossible to make this configurable because malware could then circumvent it very weak. If we're talking about that level of interference, anyone with access to the Firefox executable could in theory replace it, and given the open source nature of the Firefox codebase this wouldn't be particularly difficult technically for anyone willing to go to such lengths in the first place.

As mentioned in GGP's quote, Firefox was specifically modified by popular software by Fortune 500 companies and laptop companies, which feel safe enough to modify user preferences, but not to replace the Firefox executable. This does specifically fix that real-world attack vector.

> In any case, even if the argument about hard-coding protection into the executable did stand up to scrutiny, there are alternatives possible instead of retrospectively disabling addons with no possible workaround. Perhaps most obviously, you could show a warning message and require explicit user approval at startup before activating the addon, for example, as is already done with various other useful features that are also potentially open to abuse.

I think that would be categorised as an option "that these greyware apps [could] change and plausibly claim they were acting on behalf of the user’s “choice” not to opt-out of the light grey checkbox on page 43 of their EULA".

> As things stand, far from protecting our privacy and security from malicious addons, the current system in fact deactivated all of our privacy- and security-protecting addons, without warning, right in the middle of browsing sessions.

That this happened was a risk, and they're taking active measures in the future. The other was a certainty, and this risk was the active measure they were taking against it.

I am aware, and the same is mostly true of Go.
I would agree to that. Nightmare scenario - this is the beginning of identity theft/fraud. The baddies now know: who you are, what you shop, home address (and probably phone number), habits, age/gender. All a good setup for a bad story.

Also if you don't aggresively react to this (e.g. file a complaint, get your money back etc) they also get the info that you don't pay so much attention to these details, and that puts a bigger target in your head.
I assume you are replying to "You are making the assumption that there are high levels of lead in the food BECAUSE food makers want to kill you." so I have to ask: is it because they want to kill customers or not?
>Are you saying that smaller companies can't compete with Amazon if everyone has to check that they're not poisoning us?

Yes, because this adds cost to manufacturing. Imagine if you yourself wanted to make and sell children's jewelry. How difficult would it be for you to get a lab to test all of the stuff you make? Could you make any money after you subtract the cost of these kinds of lab tests?

A large company has economies of scale. Finding a lab is a much smaller portion of the cost for them compared to you.
It's worse to use nails as screws IMHO, but I digress.
>So Apple is trying what Microsoft did years ago: Platform convergence.

Mostly API convergence. Which they have been doing for years now (adding UIKit parity to OS X), Marzipan is just the latest and more encompassing version.

>It's quite ironic because as far as I remember, Apple used to have a strong stance against that, showing e.g. by the fact that Macbooks never come with touch screens.

And they still consider those two as different use cases, better served with different UIs.

Marzipan is not about sharing the UI paradigms -- its about making it easier to port common code.
Yeah, you can write a compiler for a better language.

This is disingenuous. Show me Pi types in C.
>PDAs and 'smartphones' didn't become mainstream pre-Apple, but their design was also more productive.

More productive than your current iPhone or Android phone?

That's some seriously rose colored glasses.

So we should just ignore the long list of cases where it has happened, because This Time It Will Be Different?
The European (I assume, I only know the ones from Germany) debit cards are distinctly different from credit cards or the debit cards you described in that they

* don't have the credit card like information like card number, verification number or CVC code.

* They are directly linked to a bank account like you described.

* They have the account number (IBAN) printed on them. Knowledge of that number doesn't get you closer to the money in the account, though.

* To actually use them on an ATM or at a POS, you usually use chip and pin. In the POS case, the POS randomly chooses between PIN and your hand written signature as proof of ownership.

* You can't directly pay with them online, though (ignoring extra features some variants have).

* To pay online if you only have one of those cards, you usually pay by wire transfer using your account number, the pin number from above and a tan (a single use number created for this transaction only). Money reaches the recipient between a few minutes and a day later.

* Practically everyone with a bank account has such a card.
If making coffee is as simple and quick as pressing a button, then I doubt the convince would save enough time for any of the activities you mentioned.

I chose to run apt-get to install packages. I have never opted-in to, nor even known about, how Firefox was running "studies" on me before this event. It's like finding out the TV you bought last year has a hidden camera and it's been recording you the whole time.
He's using a product. A product. Having it attached to on-line service is not a feature.

I think part of the reason this fiasco stirs up so much emotions is because normal people, including tech professionals, still expect the browser to behave like a product, not a service. And products aren't supposed to randomly break like that, they aren't supposed to ship with a time bomb attached.

Maybe you could say that, personally, but quite a lot of developers don’t. I follow a lot of high-profile researchers at places like Nvidia, and they often discuss the desire to replace their Mac for dev purposes but have not found a quality alternative.

An optimistic hope is that the Windows subsystem for Linux will evolve and mature beautifully. But it’s not there yet, and even then you’re often stuck dealing with significantly inferior hardware. So Mac tends to be the standard that a significant portion of the world’s developers compare against.
I think the charitable interpretation is that some of those apps were written and published only for Android. In that case, comparable functionality wasn't artificially removed from desktop versions, it just never existed in the first place.

You can write Fortran in any language, these people are missing the point. The simplicity is a feature, it also allows you to say exactly what you mean without sweet talking the compiler.

I envy people who suck at grammar but are still capable of expressing their ideas because they know their vocabulary. They somehow managed to succeed at the hard parts before mastering the easy parts of a language.
It's crazy really, they loan the money they would in the past have to use to buy stock, but they also don't have to pay for warehousing (straight away).

Presumably it helps with inventory management too - like the loanee indicates the inventory they're buying which means Amazon can factor that in.

Then they charge interest ...

However, whilst this sounds good for Amazon, is it more efficient - in economic terms - or does it just reduce Amazon's risks and costs.
It could just as well been signed today with a fake date.

The traditional option (used by things like Java and ActiveX since the early 2000s) is Trusted Timestamping [1], where a trusted third party provides a signature (such as via RFC 3161 Time Stamp Protocol). AFAIK every certificate authority that sells code-signing certificates also provides a free timestamping server. If you trust a CA to issue code-signing certificates, the theory is you'd trust them to timestamp too.

If you don't like having the trusted third party, you can also publish the hash in some write-once medium, such as on the blockchain, in certificate transparency logs, or in the small ads of a reputable newspaper.

Most house locks are trivial to pick in about 30 seconds, and what I've seen of "smart" locks isn't much better.

I think if you were really serious about preventing intruders (rather than discouraging opportunism) you need alarms and cameras and someone with a big stick.
Considering how haphazardly people demand regulation, I'm not sure reasonable people do understand the costs of regulation. Every time regulatory capture happens people are somehow really surprised and the excuse is always "we just wanted to help".

There are undoubtedly regulations that are vital, but there are many that cause silly situations that can have bad consequences. Also, it's not like regulation is guaranteed to even solve the problem in the first place.
You're really grossly overstating the effort to port a typical full-screen OpenGL/Metal application over from iOS to macOS or vice versa. It's literally a 1-hour job at most to get a drawing context initialized and up and running even when starting from scratch. Any experencied dev who has done it before just re-uses what's already there and will be done in 10 minutes tops.

Obviously you're not even 1% of the way of 'porting your iOS game to macOS' after that, the remaining 99% will be in re-implementing a mouse-based UI, and dealing with the fact that your running on hardware with completely different capabilities and performance profiles. Marzipan will not be able to help with any of that.
No, use it when appropriate. Here, it isn’t, because:

- this settlement applies to Amazon only, not any competitor. That doesn’t fit the usual mechanism of using regulation to shackle competition

- regulatory capture also refers to a social mechanism, where regulators become friends with the industry because they spend so much time together etc. That doesn’t fit too well here, because a state attorney’s office is far more diversified than, say, the FAA.

- the points in my initial comment, which you just ignored

I just don’t buy it. We already work at a layer dozens if not more abstractions away from what’s really happening underneath the surface. This is essentially an argument that every layer below is good and justified, but that any additional layer is just too much.

>They should require amazon to randomly sample.

Isn't that just the government passing the buck to Amazon then? The should have auditors from the FDA or NIST or whatever to do random tests at Amazon warehouses.
Pure functional languages do have state. They don't have _implicit_ state. You can absolutely reason about state with mathematical abstractions, it's just not "free" and there's a learning/comfort curve.
You don't need to perform the safety testing but you're responsible for the safety testing.

Let's assume that you have a physical store and you import and sell a toy and trust the manufacturer-provided documentation that claims that the toy is safe. The customer trusts you and relies on you to ensure that the toy is safe, the customer doesn't need to trust the manufacturer. If it turns out that the offshore manufacturer lied and faked the documentation, that's not the customer's fault or problem - you're fully liable and need to compensate the customer for selling a shoddy product that's apparently not fit for sale. Generally you have the right to recover that compensation from the manufacturer but if you can't do that (e.g. the manufacturer has since disappeared, or is insolvent) then that's not the customers problem, they bought the thing from you and it's your responsibility to uphold the warranties (at least in EU law) - so if you sell products from shoddy manufacturers then you assume full responsibility of them, which generally means that importers/distributors (or large retailers - a small store would delegate that task&risk to the wholesale importer/distributor, a major chain would do it themselves) audit their suppliers to ensure that they're not lying, faking safety documentation, etc.

The baby store doesn't need to run safety tests on strollers, but it does need to verify that the safety tests have been done and ensure that the strollers are actually safe. The store can (and usually will) rely on others to ensure the safety and testing, but if they choose to rely on unreliable partners, that's the fault of that store.
>You’re seriously underestimating the support overhead of having a Mac app.

There doesn't have to be any "support overhead". You can simply offer the app as is, as tons of developers do. At worst, throw a "FAQ/common issues" page and leave it at that.

I have tons of apps, and very successful ones (judging from their publicity/store placement), that offer absolutely no support.

>Let’s say there’s 200k UIKit developers in the world. That’s still clearly less than 10% of professional and hobbyist software developers.

It's still clearly way more than needed to have a huge market. Heck, 5% of pro and hobbyists developers would still be enormously huge.

I do some creative writing too, and can save things for a very long time, agonizing over details. But life as a programmer has taught me to just ship it. Writing and code are never perfect, no matter how perfectionist I am.

So I really feel sorry for Harper Lee -- there were probably 300 pages of good writing that went up in smoke because she set an impossible standard for herself. My advice to you all is to seek high quality, but remember that eventually worse is better, and it's time to ship it.
If you have large reusable rockets and refuelling, you can carry a lot more. Thankfully SpaceX is working on just such a plan, which would mean landing far more mass on the moon and being able to take a lot back.

Their lander will look completely different (starship).
This is a strawman. The discussion is about whistleblowing real crimes.
There is probably a good parallel between the impact of auto-ML solutions on data science roles and the impact of services like Squarespace on web development roles.
Wrong. SpaceX is objectively faster. The New Glenn is about the size of the Falcon Heavy in terms of payload.

The BFR is a whole different class that is gone be more in line with the hidden BO project the New Armstrong, but we don't really know what that is gone be.

That said, SpaceX is ahead in rockets but this moon lander is something SpaceX doesn't have or is even working on.

> Most house locks are trivial to pick in about 30 seconds

How many training seconds are required to be able to manage an average of 30 seconds? Or do you mean destructive? If yes, is it loud?

Maybe the American locks are different (doubt it) but as a casual lockpicker I can say it's not as trivial as you make it sound. Or if you're talking about destructive methods rather than picking, that's still better than an electronic lock where you potentially never know if someone managed to bypass it. It might also be done or at least prepared remotely (no need to spend at least a few minutes single pin picking the door, or making noise destroying it).

I am quite sure other implementations of SQL have similar tools but from my support of an iSeries.

The SQL scripting function is a tool run from a desktop, all emulation and such is JAVA based, with the feature to ask the system what the query is doing. The feature called Visual Explain will explode the query into a graphic representation of how the system optimized it to run. It will recommend indexes as needed. This is very good for understanding when table scans are forced, how files actually joined up, and more.
Family recently bought a house in the US, and it is pretty. But it is mainly wood by the looks of it.

I do wonder how well that works (for y'know, not being fire hazard and not being terribly insulated, being able to whither bad weather conditions, ..).

I have not visited their new place yet so I can't comment on what it is like to live there. But houses in Europe just look more sturdy.

That is one thing that makes me think investing in housing in the US is a bad choice. The houses just don't seem like they are build to last. (Again I am judging it just by the looks and I could be completely wrong about it!)
