I recently spent months implementing ML CV system for manufacturing and I tried several of the services mentioned.

This paper is comparing AWS Rekognition, Google Cloud Vision, and Azure Computer Vision. I tried Google and Azure. I also tried clarifai.

To get 100% accuracy I ended up building my own service, and doing some really unconventional things. I used tensorflow, but I may rewrite the whole thing in pytorch.

I tried using neural architecture search but it was a dead end.

The key for me was training data distribution search.

The purpose of slow rollouts is to catch bugs before they affect everyone. We already have evidence this is buggy software, so slow rollouts are even more important.

And even if there aren't any other bugs, this scenario must have caused a lot of stress for the people in charge of the rollout.
The person I replied to was talking about the term foodie, and I was responding about the term foodie.

Also, I wouldn’t disqualify anyone from being considered a foodie because they restrict their diet.

That completely blows my mind. I went to the Woodford Reserve distillery recently but i didn't realize the state made that much.
I haven't used that thing but if it is as you say, it sounds backwards and very rigid, and probably only good for games (with assumptions about how the application might want to use inputs).

I don't think system level APIs should ask applications anything at all.

Applications should be able to ask for inputs instead. Which is the status quo, with the caveat that there's no unified "input" API, instead there's a bunch of different APIs for keyboard, mouse, joystick, xinput gamepad, text input, midi, other kinds of input (lucky if you can find an existing API for them...). Some of these APIs multiplex a few different types of inputs, but still provide them as distinct types of events that need to be handled separately by each application.
I've tried that without success. Delete all rules/filters, labels and re-create it all again. Nothing will work on old or new messages. And "apply to zero conversations" is the only thing I see that seems like it would be it but the zero part means no chance of working.

Gmail even replied to me on Twitter saying the filters no longer work.

I like using filters I don't see why such an important email tool is so awkward to use on Gmail.
Google has an internal configuration language similar in ideas to Haskell or ML. Quite nice, from my limited experience.

It was marked deprecated in 2015 when I stopped working at Google. Friends say that it's still alive and kicking in 2019.
> Fact is that the linux story and experience has improved dramatically over the past 10 years.

Yes, and it still sucks in a lot of the same ways it always has, and a few new ones (bloat, more incomprehensibly tangled base system than ever before...). Just yesterday I watched PCManFM, when told to copy a directory from an SMB share, copy the folder but none of its contents. This kind of basic functionality being completely overlooked is common, because there are about 100 implementations of anything and about 250 different distros combining those things in differently broken ways.

Oh, I hear you say, you shouldn't use those obscure distros, but a more polished one like Ubuntu. Only it was Ubuntu 19.04 with the latest updates.

This is without even getting into absolutely retarded design decisions like .desktop files.
If it was in EU ground and/or involved EU citizens, for sure something will happen.
Justice begins with truth.

1. He only has honorary doctorates. If you wouldn't say "Dr. Zuckerberg," don't say "Dr. Stallman." (Meanwhile, Dr. Bill Cosby has an earned doctorate!)

2. Related to the previous point, his "position" at MIT was an office with a mattress, thanks to having influential friends in the faculty there. He was not paid by MIT, he had no teaching role at MIT, and he was part of no MIT research projects.

3. Even if every error printed by the media was corrected, there is - and has been for years - significant dissatisfaction with him at MIT, within the FSF, within the GNU Project, and within the free software community at large.

4. Stallman continues to be welcome to debate the truth. It's a valuable part of a free society. What MIT and the free software community has made clear is that he is not welcome to debate the truth and serve as a representative of MIT and of the free software community. MIT gained nothing direct from his affiliation as unpaid research staff assigned to no research projects; all they gained was an association with his reputation. As soon as that becomes a negative association, there's no rational reason to keep it. Similarly, the free software community has argued for the removal of Stallman from his leadership position because they've seen that he prioritizes his interest in debating about sexual norms over his interest in leading and growing the free software community. (See, for instance, http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html .)

It is true that the media flare-up about Stallman's Minsky/Epstein commentary was the immediate political motivation for him leaving his MIT affiliation (since the most active benefit of his affiliation was his presence on the CSAIL general mailing list where he made this comments, and there has been general displeasure at his presence there for well over a decade) and his FSF role. But I'm not sure what the benefit to the world is to re-appoint him to his FSF role only to "re-try" him for his actual failure to do his work - especially when so many GNU projects seem on the verge of forking.

Q1. What is the Portable Application Standards Committee (PASC)?

The IEEE Computer Society's Portable Application Standards Committee (PASC) is the group that has and continues to develop the POSIX family of standards. Historically, the major work has been undertaken within Project 1003 (POSIX) with the best known standard being IEEE Std 1003.1 (also known as POSIX 1003.1, colloquially termed "dot 1"). The goal of the PASC standards has been to promote application portability at the source code level.

I'm pretty sure economists actually genuinely believe this statement.
As a parent of a 24 year old, it's easy for me to see how it can be hard to determine when it's time for your child to become financially independent.

Our decision making was made easy by a child who happily entered our least expensive state school, didn't mind living with us during school, and interned while in college straight into a stable job/career the day after graduation.

In rocketry terms, we had a good main engine burn to put him in GTO, now he's the ignited second stage, and we had a nominal launch.

Subtract any of the above (ideal) values, and I can see how a parent/child group can devolve into a possibly unhealthy situation.

Even with a plan for independence, the vagaries of life can easily lead the parties to want to alter the deal in light of adverse events.
I recommend reading "Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport. It identifies this problem well and has a lot of practical suggestions for countering it. The one that worked for me was uninstalling twitter/reddit/HN apps and replacing them with using the browser. Doesnt sound like much but the added friction of typing out everything in the browser (I'm mostly on incognito) took my compulsive dopamine-fix phone-checking behavior down by a lot. For HN, I also try to rely on the "Hacker Newsletter" to counter any FOMO.
> Companies have cultures that are heavily promoted. Yes 100k people has diversity but cultures promote singular opinions as well.

Google's culture doesn't seem to produce singular opinions even in the solution to very narrow problems (hence why they often out 2+ things out competing in the same or overlapping domains), much less broad questions like “what kinds of programming languages are useful”.
Just seems like he was going about this ALL wrong. US Spec ops guys moonlight as "security contractors" basically doing assassination missions in Yemen for ~$25,000/month[1][2]. You mean to tell me a Chinese guy with $250,000 to throw around couldn't find a recently-retired Chinese Special Operator to do this job reliably? I would think that anyone with that much money would have at least SOME Communist Party connections or People's Liberation Army connections. Hmmmm, unless his intended target was the one with such "protection".......that would make more sense actually.... maybe nobody in good standing with the CCP would take on such a contract, hence the above-market-rate compensation offered, and the fact that only unreliable, desperate, two-faced idiots accepted the job.

I suspect the real big driving motivation is actually just to make sure the patent isn’t too narrow. If you are sinking time and money into patenting everything, it makes business sense to make it as broad as you think you can.

On the flip side, patents exist probably in part exactly because trade secrets are incredibly hard to keep. People are pretty good at reverse engineering things.

(Note: I am not trying to convey an opinion about patents with any of this conjecture, but if you want mine, I think software patents are fully bunk and other patents should not last nearly as long as they do.)
The faith part comes from interpreting the economic results of capitalism. Do you accept it as a useful economic system given all the problems you see with it? Are you willing to entertain the possibility of alternatives? If not, why?
It seems like the style of the article is deliberately long-winded and poetic to match the type of content that the “human readable magazine” is going for (similar to New Yorker articles). It’s likely seeking to cater to a specific niche of reader preferences.
So you are saying that the problem with young adults not being independent enough is that they were too independent of their parents as a child?

That doesn't sound right to me.
Lafite's Chinese wine unveiled at last
I actually think most twenty-somethings should live with their parents as I believe that is a particularly perilous age range.
From what you describe, it sounds to me like these parents are not meddling in the lives of their children, which might instill a greater degree of the children feeling on their own at an earlier age rather than feeling strongly dependent upon guiding forces. I don't wish to encourage this manner of absent parenting, but what you describe of the parents' behavior sounds quite different from the things that would lead to the children feeling helpless and without coping skills — as they are already without their parents help and must cope on their own.
Yeah, that would nicely solve the problem by moving even more jobs to another country.

Sorry I mean that I would like to hear more detail rather than just a downvote.
Maybe this is me getting old(er), but personal unintended consequences is how little I care about new tech, especially the focus of mobile phones and how expensive they have gotten. Not only have I reached a point where I am actively reducing the amount of devices I have and different types of software. This also extends to turning off any kind of notification etc, very few things are important enough to disrupt my chain of thought at all, none when on a regular basis.

One of my other gripes is the dumbing down of software, where everything is so simplified that doing your own backups, or finding any kind of backups of a kind is just incredible inconvenient or impossible.

I grew up in the 90s (born mid 80s) and I long for that era of computing in terms of my relationship to it. While I absolutely know that I am looking at this with heavy, rose-tinted goggles, but life without the Internet was better. This is in the context of distraction, because the Internet has become the distraction-enabler through mobile phones, iPads etc. While it has enabled communication, it also enabled distraction. I'd wager that the personal productivity and/or happiness is severely reduced for a large amount of people and companies, due to "abusing the web".

Oh, I also never use my smartphone. I can talk with my friends for hours on it, but other than a few things here and there, I barely use it. But what I hate is the expectation that one should be available and accessible basically all the time. Friends and family have gotten used to my quirks, but I still feel the pressure of being available when the phone is close by.
> If the phone number is acting as the identity (like email for a lot of sites today) then no, that's not vulnerable to anything

Email is hard to hack (you need a password, and possibly a second factor if the email account is properly secured).

I wonder what the crime would be if you destroyed one of these drones while passing over your properties? A paintball gun should be enough to take it out and make it fall. Maybe we should look at destroying them, or making anti drone drones.

If I have a big property and shot down drones with a shotgun, is that a crime?
I can't entirely agree with you. Some points:

* The find syntax for this use case is almost identical to the syntax for fd (you may nitpick about "file" vs "f")

* Education would certainly help! How do you think anyone (me, as a data point) learned?

* Tab completion in the shell goes a long way. You will find yourself using the same flags often.

That being said, `find` brings with it a long legacy, which we don't all care for. Many of the options are practically unused, certainly by regular developers.

I find myself using ripgrep instead of grep, but still use find instead of fd.

And I still have a hell of the time as soon as I want to `prune`. I'd much rather `grep -v` at that point, but then I probably need to invoke `xargs` in the next step...

> If the stock is worthless, why offer it?

It wasn't worthless when it was offered, the overhang deals did not come until much later, and it did not become worthless until the company sale price was agreed upon. The stock would still have been worth something if the sale price was higher than the overhang.

Getting stock does not mean it can be diluted by further stock issuances. There is no deceit there.

> Literally all I'm arguing for is a more honest (and therefore meritocratic)

Honesty has nothing to do with meritocratic. For example, the person next to you on an airplane surely paid a different price. It's neither dishonest nor meritocratic. It is what both parties agreed upon. Each person has a different level of risk tolerance and desire for money.

Everybody in a startup gets a different deal based on their ability to negotiate, what they want, their risk tolerance, and the desire of the company to get them on board.

The thing about all this is, when you run a non-profit organization, the things you say is seen to represent that organization whether you want them to or not especially when you're a fairly well known person like RMS. Watching the things you say is part of the job unless you want it reflecting badly on your organization. In the end, if the FSF and GNU don't feel like the things RMS says should represent them, then that's just how it goes. It's too bad, but when you become an adult, you become responsible for the things you say and the consequences that come of them.
>All of the (in retrospect) misguided attempts to prove Euclid's Parallel Postulate, which eventually lead Gauss to develop hyperbolic geometry.

Are we sure the governments don’t already do this? The difference between the US and Germany is that the NSA doesn’t alert the company there’s a security hole. The NSA has been found multiple times to be exploiting exploits under the pretenses of catching terrorists.

Most Americans don't know what humans need to thrive, believe in Independence over interdependence, and think denying children their needs is what's necessary.

My mother in law thinks we're raising a self-centered child because we immediately meet their needs. She's ignorant of trauma and the effects her parenting style had on my partner. She's only now learning about body autonomy. We had to ask her not to make our child the butt of jokes, especially those that play on our kid's lack of understanding or difficulty communicating clearly.

Our child only just turned one. I'm pretty sure the grandma who insists on investing in Bitcoin despite its environmental impact to further her own wealth is projecting a lot of nonsense.

That's what happens when someone raises a child to deny reality and believe in their own projected judgments: you get a confused old person who is unintentionally advising others to harm children by denying their needs.

There is nothing new to me about how she thinks. It's the norm for almost all the adults I grew up around.
> In exchange for the right to sue others to stop using the invention, patent applicants have to disclose enough information about their invention to allow others in the field to make and use it.

WhatsApp also scans pdf files you send to a contact. Easy to confirm as well: get some random pdf with chinese filename and chinese content. Send it to a contact. Watch the delay in send/receive. Now do the same for any random pdf that's all English. Watch the regular send/receive time occur.

The only conclusion: it takes a little time for a file that's flagged - based on its language - to pass the scanners?

> It wasn't worthless when it was offered

As a practical matter, it was, since it wasn't liquid and had no security against changes which would eliminate it's theoretical value before it became liquid.

It could have become worth something with the right set of future conditions, but those obviously did not materialize.
I mean, I wasn't financially independent from my family until I was 25. Living with my parents for free and using the savings to afford college was the only reason why I was able to get a college education and become a developer.

I think the idea of kicking people out the moment they hit 18 isn't realistic anymore. Wages are not even high enough to be self-sufficient, let alone afford college without taking out exorbitant loans. Most of my college experience was spending hours past-class completing projects and doing extensive homework, so fitting in a job along with taking care of my disabled parents and trying to manage depression would've been a herculean effort. I already had to sacrifice quite a bit of my personal health in order to gamble on my college education leading to a good career.
