Imposing their opinion on a wide range of developers is also a key differentiator for Shortcuts vs Tasker.

Take a look at how many apps support Tasker vs Shortcuts:

Now consider how much older Tasker is than Shortcuts.

Imposing a universal standard across your platform is a very effective model.

Shawn from Weights & Biases here. We've been working with Github and Microsoft Research on this for just about a year now and we're super excited to launch it today.

We've seen huge advances in human language modeling and translation due to the success of deep learning. Often new directions start with a really motivated team producing a new kind of dataset. Who better to do that for code as language than Github!

This started as a grassroots effort inside of Github, and went through many iterations. When it was presented to Github's CEO six months ago, he correctly pointed out that we needed to go back and include Github's most popular language (javascript). As the project went on many smart people chipped in, and we produced something that we think is truly useful.

Check out the paper here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.09436

We overcame plenty of challenges to pull this off. For example: how do you clean this data? how do you label it? We've got folks from Github, Microsoft Research and Weights & Biases here to answer any and all questions you might have. Can't wait to see where this goes!
Does anyone know if the user interface is still Qt/QML?

I don't know if this is a serious question. The superchargers in my area are in the parking lot of grocery stores in which coffee shops are present.
Hello folks, this is Hamel from GitHub -- I’m one of the Machine Learning Engineers who worked on this project. The reason we are excited to host this data is that we believe the community will be able to innovate and advance the state of the art much faster if it is provided in a tractable format for machine learning researchers. This data is already public, however there is specialized knowledge required to acquire, parse, dedupe, and clean code from many programming languages at a massive scale on GitHub. We strived to reduce these barriers to encourage greater involvement.

While we present the task of information retrieval as one possible use case of this dataset, we know there could be other practical applications of this data (i.e. code summarization). While we went through great lengths to pre-process the data for the community, the data is still messy and often you will find that there might not be high-quality comments that are aligned with a code snippet we parsed. However, we believe this is part of the excitement of the dataset it poses challenges that machine learning practitioners will have to address.

Code is very different than natural language with regard to its structure and syntactic rules and may benefit from different approaches relative to natural language processing. Our baseline models and benchmarks mostly treat code as natural language, however we are aware that there could be an opportunity to innovate on this front. If anyone creates any interesting projects from this dataset, please do get in touch. Happy to answer any questions!

I occasionally use `!` as an escape hatch from the compiler's inability to reason about code correctness. Assert signatures in TS 3.7 will mitigate this issue significantly, but until then, I'm bangin'.

Wal-Mart headquarters is in the middle of nowhere Arkansas. When my wife was there, they had a strict policy that you fly private only when it is cheaper than flying commercial. This mainly only happened when traveling with a team that can fill the jet.
Well obviously... The private jets are typically used when a person literally cannot deal with delays due to time pressures on their schedule or geographic constraints. Is that really the case here?

From the article

> The plane was a favorite of Mr. Neumann’s, who would use it frequently to zip between his homes in the Bay Area and New York.

Also, Walmart is a business that actually makes money. Doesn't seem like the same situation.

Traffic rules don't just magically go away just because you enter a parking lot.

edit: the parent comment edited his comment to include "no right way", which I'd like to address: it is very common (at least in every America city I've ever been to) for parking lots to have lanes that are very clearly marked for only one-way travel. These lanes, like the one shown in the video, are typically only wide enough for one car, and if someone is going the wrong way down one, there's a good chance they'll cause a traffic jam if they encounter someone who is going the right way.

Sure, since it's in a parking lot you might not get a ticket from a police officer. But these rules and established traffic flows still exist for a reason, and if Smart Summon disregards them, it has the potential to cause some incredibly inconvenient situations for both the Tesla owner and anyone else involved.
Wolfram Alpha says that the Schwarzschild radius for the mass of the visible universe is bigger than the visible universe, so all I can say is something is missing from my understanding (but I already knew that).

I'm currently on the job market, and have done a few of these types of take-home tests over the last two months. If they're well structured, as it appears here, they can be fun and hopefully build enthusiasm about the company. If they're not, it's a huge red flag. A company that doesn't value my time as a candidate is unlikely to do so as an employee, and isn't one I want to work with.

If you do this, make sure to treat candidates with respect and humanity. Give them some feedback at the end of the process, so they know their efforts aren't wasted.
Rumor is Neumann had to step down because he flew the Great Circle route.

I have driven the Model S, and while its fine, its not a car I could live with full time. I should have been more clear, by enthusiast I meant more along the lines of track-day enthusiast.

If I had room for 2 cars, then the Tesla would be a much more attractive option.
Thanks for checking out Zapmarks! I created this product for myself first and foremost but I am hoping other people find it as useful as I do.

I am a developer by day and jump from device to device and browser to browser. I hated having all of my bookmarks tied to one or the other so I created Zapmarks!

Also, being a small business owner, I wear many hats and have lots of different accounts for everything. It's great coming up with a keyword in your head and knowing it will take you directly to what you want it to.

For example, I have many Google Drive accounts for different things, I have 'drive' set up to go to my personal Google Drive and 'drive2' goes to my business Google Drive. Since I know this and have built that muscle-memory, I can get directly to exactly what I need very efficiently! Here are a few other Zapmarks I use frequently, as examples...

vzw = Verizon Wireless Account
budget = Google Drive Personal Budget Sheet
qb = QuickBooks Online
bank = Online Banking
fbm = Facebook Messenger
en = Evernote
gh = GitHub

I have lots planned for Zapmarks! Give it a shot and let me know if you have any questions!
Really, none. It's justified by a grossly inflated sense of the value of their own time. They just don't want to fly with the plebs. And in the case of Adam Neumann in particular, he wanted to hotbox the plane.

In just one cross-country trip, the Gulfstream IV emits nearly double the CO2 that the average American emits in an entire year.

equation 1 (in formal definition). the basis is e^(-st). if you don't know how that's a basis you need to read a little bit about functional analysis but just look at the integral as a continuous sum and f(t) as the basis coefficients and e^(-st) starts to look like a vector space basis (hilbert space) basis.
> Tesla is not your father’s car.

But, it is (at least at that price point).

Whenever I see a mercedes/audi/mclaren/tesla/maserati/bentley, it's almost always an older adult driving (40-60 if I had to guess). Probably because these cars aren't affordable for people until late in their career.

(I'm in upstate NY, the demographics are surely on the younger side in the bay area where you have tech workers who earn enough early in their career to afford it)

That style marketing video is incredibly confusing given the target market.
Check out RV connections at campgrounds, if you haven't already. They're not as fast as Superchargers, but overnight you can easily go from empty to full. Looking at Plugshare.com, I see a bunch of level 2 chargers to the north-northwest of Mt. Rainier.

If "a thing can't be null/nothing", then you've made an error in making it an optional.

If a thing might be null/nothing but can't be used when it is, then you should write code that indicates your understanding of that case. Catching an error doesn't imply that your program should proceed, it communicates that you the programmer understood your system and anticipated its failure states. Proceeding or aborting is a secondary decision.

And potentially dangerous, right?. What's stopping me from creating a bunch of MITM proxy servers and just waiting until someone using this service rotates to mine?

From the website:

> Using advanced proxy checking algorithms, we constantly monitor the quality of our proxies removing those that are no longer working.

What are these "advanced proxy checking algorithms" and how do they verify the security or authenticity of an open proxy on the net? They seem to mention the availability of their service, "Our checking algorithm is aggressive to ensure the highest likelihood of the proxy working when it gets to you." But mention nothing about the security implications of the potential breach of confidentiality if a malicious actor were to set up an open server.
I interpret root cause to mean a causal variable that is not dependent on other examined causal variables. If racism can exacerbate something, it is playing a causal role. Since the racism does not depend on other mentioned variables, (racism is not a product of co2 emissions) it would then have to be a root cause given the context.
Gold is very volatile (sure not as much as cryptocoins) and this is for the best as gold volatility prevents it from hurting the macro-economy.

You think poor people get a better deal getting a few bucks a year of returns on the little savings that they have while being forced to indirectly fund a much larger subsidy on rich people's wealth, a subsidy that is given specifically to the those who get out of the private markets in favor of holding government paper, that close down businesses and lay these poor people off?

Good. Such people don't deserve diplomacy. You want to be diplomatic with someone who wants to enslave and possibly rape and kill you? Who values such things even after a war was fought so those things world no longer be the norm in our country? That's insane. Confederate supporters, like Nazis, do not deserve diplomacy. It's unfortunate their relics were allowed to exist. There should have and could have been an exception made to the first amendment for this. And don't give me this bullshit about heritage. No one wants to hear about their disgusting heritage. They should be ashamed for even bringing it up. We can learn about their horrible ancestors in school and make sure that shit never sees the light of day again, as heritage or as the reality a lot of these people want to bring back.

Yes. Granted more people were on dial-up, but while the promise of an AJAXier web was one that felt faster, the effect in practice has been one that feels slower, if anything. There was a brief golden age in which, if one had broadband, the web was very fast using entirely static or server-rendered pages, which are considered in modern dev folklore (hilariously, to those who've seen both at work) to be slow. [EDIT] just the server rendering is considered slow or old-fashioned or somehow inefficient, I should clarify—I don't think anyone's nutty enough to think static pages are slow.

Also images were much, much smaller, both in terms of pixels and amount of compression applied, using large images that weren't content was heavily discouraged, and no-one used auto playing videos. To the extent that sins against bandwidth were committed it was mostly with Flash, which we all complained about and which is now reviled, but which was in fact generally way less abusive, confusing, and performance-destroying, than what gets done now in the name of "modern UX". Pages were much smaller, devs were much more sensitive to markup bloat. The worst we had on that front were WYSYWG-made pages (Frontpage, for example) but they've got nothing on the kind of attribute bloat and huge JS payloads one sees now (and the JS in particular can keep on allocating memory after its text is loaded into memory then parsed into even more memory, with predictable results on resource use and page load times)

I mean, at the very least I assume that they can generate a function, check that it wasn't in the training set, then solve it and verify.

The downvotes for you are really disappointing. Because before AI, there was the walled garden of HPC, with temple-like supercomputers to which gaining access involved magic incantations and politically savvy groveling from academics wishing to graduate from grad school in less than a decade. GPUs disrupted that garden in a big way. Or all of this has happened before(tm).

But in the past few years, the one two punch of AI and Python rebuilt that garden. So now not only are the big guys controlling training the big AIs, but the insistence on describing those computations entirely from a Python abstraction of those computations is leading to insanely inefficient use of those GPUs (and coming soon, dedicated ASICs with even worse software libaries past Resnet, BERT and a few other acceptable strawmen).

That said, one can do a lot with AI/ML models that fit in a single sub $10,000 machine built entirely from consumer parts and doubly so if one is willing to profile and low-level optimize one's code as intensely as stare at the data going into the model (you're in grad school, you have time for this, you have all the time so to speak and it will save you lots of time in the long run). For inspiration, all the big guys have GPU codemonkeys on staff to micro-optimize as needed. One might want to take a cue from that and DIY.
My S.O. has CarPlay in her Audi and while it is definitely superior to the built-in UI (this to me says more about how bad those UI’s are to begin with!), it is a shitshow compared to the UI of my Tesla.

Simple examples:

1) If you accidentally tell the car or the phone not to use CarPlay for a particular phone, there is no obvious way to get it to ask again

2) If you are connected to the same phone via Bluetooth AND CarPlay’s USB connection (...why does it even permit this to begin with??)... Wonkiness results

3) My S.O. refuses to use Waze on it because Waze’s own notifications overlay/BLOCK important elements of its own nav and are not trivially dismissed (do they even test these things??)

These are just off the top of my head in an Audi, hardly a run-of-the-mill car.

Try a Tesla’s UI for a while, and CarPlay will seem like garbage. It becomes very clear why they didn’t go with it. I only wish it had Waze on it, and then I could get rid of my phone mount.
Kudos to the Gatsby.js team. Gatsby is developer experience nirvana, I really enjoy building with it.
It's 28 days including holidays so if you take into account golden week and the week around the new year and all the emperor "birthdays" et. it is not that bad. Also in Japan 10 days is the minimum, many workers get more days as they get older.
Highway only? My roommate has one, I don't think he's ever not using autopilot even on side streets. He might only use the brake or accelerator a few times in a whole days driving.
2 - I'm not a developer, i just did a few wordpress themes, while looking at a static site generators i gave a try to gatsby because of the way it use images and it was a joy, i learned some javascript, discovered react, used a lots of things for the first time and it was just a great experience, lots of tools, good documentation, it was just fun for me.
This is interesting, the authors encode expression trees in RPN format and use vanilla transformers plus seq2seq to decode solutions to certain integrals and differential equations.

I suspect what's happening, given the constrained space of problems, is the NN is matching input formats to solution templates. For that space, it would have learned some patterns of what undoes to what. Perhaps there's even something that's captured aspects of the product rule buried in those weights.

I would be curious to see how it does on problems outside the training set format. Or on integrals that require a trick, such as exp(x) * sin(x) or those with nested composition: A/(1+exp(-k*(x-a))). Is it sensitive to input size? Would a smaller but slightly tricky integral like 1/sqrt(x^2 - y^4) trip it?

Most important, since the bulk of real world indefinite integrals are not analytically tractable, it is vital that a practical system knows when to give up. If I put in exp(-x^2), it better not return an answer. This is my main worry for methods like this. In a real world setting covering a wider range of mathematical problems, you can't trust something that's not 100% on what it knows how to do.
From the author's blog post on how AltStore works [1]:

> For this distribution method, AltStore requires your Apple ID and password to communicate on your behalf with Apple’s developer servers.

This seems really sketchy, and I would not be surprised if Apple took steps to prevent this, and possibly even to disable Apple IDs associated with this activity.

> The last major restriction is that an iOS device may only ever have at most 3 apps installed using this method, even if they come from different Apple IDs. This was by far the most frustrating one to deal with, but thankfully I was able to find a workaround in time.

The workaround (swapping around provisioning profiles) sounds like it's abusing a bug which Apple could fix pretty easily.

> the larceny charges at the heart of the case did not depend on whether the defendants took the money—they did—but whether they were authorized to take it

All these cases show is the very nuanced thing they did wrong, and how to do the same thing within the frameworks available.

The decision making authority and the written latitude available for it. They paid excessive ambigious things.

Very different from selling shares you own at market values and leasing property you own back to the company, and IP trading. This is the fun you see at WeWork.
