Yes, using chain rule for the gradient of norm(Ax-b)^2 makes that derivation a lot shorter. Or just citing a theorem for the gradient of the L2 norm would have been fine. I used the FOIL approach because each of the 4 terms can be tackled using very elementary theorems in matrix calculus - a constant term, two linear terms, and a quadratic form.

My guess (based on my experiences) is that companies wind up in this position from having inexperienced people building early versions of products instead of hiring experienced engineers (who are usually more expensive).

Sort of. The US is big and rich (so small mistakes compound into really big expensive errors fast/eventually) and sort of refuses to shop abroad for expertise, because. Reasons.
Because this has become a pattern in OpenAI's MO.

Take a very impressive research achievement (large LSTM on byte-level language modeling/GPT-2). present it in a hyperbolic manner ("we've discovered a single neuron that captures sentiment", "the full GPT-2 is too dangerous to release"). wait for the press to eat it up, and if the technical press calls them out on misleading claims, even better, because it'll get even more traction then. Wait for defenders to show up stating that the original research achievement was impressive. Make no effort to clarify misleading claims.

The misleading word here is "solve", which can have two meanings: to derive a solution for a Rubik's cube, or to manipulate a Rubik's cube into a solved state. The casual reader absolutely assumes the former (which also appears as a challenging, intellectual task), whereas the technical achievement here is the latter. But of course, a press released titled "Solving Rubik's Cube with a Robot Hand" sounds much more impressive than "Manipulating Rubik's Cube with a Robot Hand".

I say this as a person who has benefited from their great research output and models: please stop playing this terrible PR game. You do your research work a disservice by muddying the waters like this.
For what business units? For which use cases?

Also, they invest a lot into recruiting. My suspicion is that they give a considerable degree of freedom (often to the detriment of the organization in ways such as information silos) to engineering teams to help with recruiting.
The whole point of a market based economy is allocation of resources. Yes, rent, transport, and other costs may go up in the short-term with a UBI. However that creates strong opportunities for companies to come in and compete to drive those costs down.

In contrast, when you nationalize those industries, there is no incentive to drive costs down. In fact, costs will likely go up because the more a nationalized industry spends, the more it gets from next year's budget.
In the abstract, no.

But we already know that Facebook excludes free speech: simply attempt to post a photograph containing bare female breasts on Facebook or a Facebook-owned property like Instagram, and it will swiftly be removed for violating “community guidelines”.

So Facebook themselves have clearly excluded themselves from the former.
If you're at a healthy organization, they support managers transitioning back into engineering.
Facebook is the capitalization of the free speech of others on a mass scale.
> Use Windows versions of things, not things compiled under Cygwin or MinGW

This seems like an oddly outdated notion in the WSL era. Having used Windows 10 f/t in 2018, I'd say 'use Linux versions of commandline dev tools, not Windows'.

Mostly though I agree that Windows 10 is a decent and viable Desktop OS. It does have some problems. The task bar is an appalling bit of Stalinist design (insisting on obscuring parts of running apps even when on auto-hide), and much of the Microsoft-supplied software (eg. Mail, Calendar) is terribly amateurish. If you use the Insiders builds (tempting because of WSL2), it's pretty buggy. But most of the fundamental stuff works extremely well.

All of the OSs available have their irritations, but I don't think those of Windows are any more egregious or numerous than the competitors. Certainly MacOS (my main OS for many years prior to 2018) has become irrelevant to me because of absurd price-gouging and fake keyboards.

What eventually pulled me off Windows towards Linux is largely the development experience and the filesystem. But then I have to put up with its egregious hdpi & multimonitor support and general GUI flakiness.

There are no good OSs in 2019, just balances of tradeoffs for your particular purposes & preferences.

2. Otherwise, if you can add pertinent information, like for example the fact that the file you couldn't find was supposed to be the SQLite database, but can't handle it here, wrap and return. Do not log.

3. Otherwise, sticky fingers off, pass it up unaltered. Do not log.

Is this the right way to hire? Not saying it’s wrong but I’ve taken a different approach which has generally worked out.

Even if I was hiring for a specific role (front end), I care less about familiarity with specific bundlers or frameworks and something more like - “Can this person problem solve and deal with varying levels of ambiguity? Do they seem capable of figuring something out without a ton of direction?”
I think what he is saying is, if you are hiring a React developer, but someone only has experience in Vue, would you not hire them because of their lack of React experience?
I guess it kinda depends. Usually engineers do not get hired by 'someone with a lot of money'. They get hired by mid-level managers or a committee of stakeholders.

Pretending to be an access point and going through a handshake doesn't let you retrieve the pre-shared key. (Unless the client is vulnerable to downgrade attacks-- which hasn't been a big consideration in more than a decade). Evil twin attacks are powerful but don't achieve what you say.

The station sends to the access point a message authentication code based on nonces and the pairwise master key, which in turn is based on the "network password". It's produced using a series of HMACs and isn't an operation that can be inverted without brute force.

Why doesn't Cloudflare work for archive.is?
Right, but now you have two separate operating systems to manage which are different at the kernel level (as your host is probably linux, bsd, esxi, etc.) This means you often have to manage twice the amount of tooling, documentation, scripts, etc. and makes it impractical for many cases.
As a counterpoint, it feels like you're complaining about losing the ability to control a device you don't normally have the ability to control by exploiting some facet of it's operation.

Isn't the real problem that you don't control the device in the first place? Perhaps the better solution is to only run devices and software that you can actually trust, if the security of those devices is important to you, or if you care about the device's behavior.

That's why it should have an off state. When life support stays on, and nothing else. Maybe a dumb-switch.

Also, I haven't said that privacy is not a valid concern. But if heating is so tied to your home automation, then that's a problem. It should be able to maintain a steady temperature, just as simple thermostat system, just like before buying the fancy home automation system.

(Sure, there are probably homes being built now with integrated smart/fancy systems, but still, if those lack the aforementioned fallback functionality, then they are very predictability going to have a bad time when the fancy system needs maintenance and the folks living there start to get cold.)
> This means that just by importing this module, we're mutating global state somewhere else.

Yes, this !

That's why I hate Django and some flask app the most for, the fact that by importing a module, you're implicitly creating a database connection, and a lot of other magic stuff, which mean that now I can't import a constant defined in said module outside of `python manage.py`

Also as said below in the article, suddenly it's much harder to handle smoothly the "the database is momentary unavailable" (because someone has put the line starting the database connection in the global space of a module somewhere)

Instead of using the release cycle as a way to focus the product process it became a goal in itself. But this author seems to work with really top class people so maybe that level of stupidity in using the metric as the goal in itself is less of an issue in those circles

Death threats, and many other forms of hate speech, are illegal in many jurisdictions, and yet that is not used to justify a blanket ban on angry text.

It is not obvious to me that these things are even separable; to pick but one obvious example, a topless photograph posted by advocates for an equal right for both men and women to be topless in public is clearly political speech.

More broadly, look at someone like Larry Flint. The pornagraphic is the political. The current hand-wringing over “censorship of political speech” seems terribly narrowly focused on but one fairly conservative form of speech, to the point that it’s a bit hard to take at face value.

2. It can break more easily. If it breaks, you can cut yourself on it. You can also cut others which is why those bottles are prohibited at some places with security controls or some workplaces.

> the first thing about web accessibility, polyfills, bundlers, cross-browser support, etc.

Almost all of these concepts could easily be learned in a few weeks by a talented engineer with strong fundamentals in software design and computer science.

Polyfills aren't exactly quantum mechanics. They're not some radically different mental paradigm that takes years to develop fluidity. If you already have a sound basis in the major software engineering concepts, learning polyfills is just a matter of reading the docs to learn the details.

Let's not forget that Jordan Walke was working on back-end infrastructure code just prior to inventing ReactJS. Miso Hevery was working on Java testing frameworks just before inventing AngularJS. So it's not like there's a history of front-end being such a unique problem domain, that it's impossible for outsiders to pick up.

The only major sub-domain of software that I think this may potentially be true of is embedded systems. And even then, that's a big maybe.

A market economy distributes scarce resources to those with the most money. It is fundamentally irrational.

To reuse an example from Richard Wolfe, if there are ten people that need milk, and there are 5 units of milk, we should distribute them according to need (e.g. medical, children, vs someone baking a cake). Instead, under a market, the rich get to buy it for their cat while the poor are priced out of the market.
I see this often (including an accompanying XKCD cartoon[1]) and don't agree with it. It may be a good summary of the first amendment in the US constitution but "judicial imprisonment" doesn't define the boundaries of free speech issues.
